Local mills improve safety after PG explosion Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Mills in Williams Lake have beefed up safety measures, in light of the recent sawmill explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George, and a directive from WorkSafe BC issued last Wednesday requiring all sawmill employers to undertake a comprehensive risk assessment.

Sigurdson Forest Products has shut down its operations as of April 26 to carry out a major clean up, while Tolko and West Fraser held meetings with managers, instructing them to carry out safety inspections. West Fraser curtailed some of its operations.

“We only process beetle kill.

After the Babine fire we were on notice and determining steps and inspections, but after Prince George we decided to be proactive,” Sigurdson mill manager Tom Beddington says.

The mill employs around 40 workers and during the shut-down 11-man crews have come to work, but spent their entire shifts cleaning.

“They have been going through every nook and cranny. We used water instead of air so we don’t create that air-borne dust to start,” Beddington explains.

Normally every shift already had one employee dedicated to cleaning, and that person will continue in that role. However, on Friday the

mill hired a new employee who will be solely dedicated to dust control.

That employee will work Friday nights after the planer ends until Monday night.

“All he’ll do is make sure the tresses are clean, top to bottom,” Beddington says, adding Sigurdon’s Mill is lucky because most of its operations are outdoors so air is going through the mill all the time.

Only the planer is in an enclosure. Routinely workers spray the logs and boards with water as they go through the machines.

“That makes a big difference,” Beddington says.

Tolko Industries Ltd.’s vice president of forestry and environment says the explosions have rocked

the industry, in terms of the short amount of time between the two explosions, and the catastrophic and tragic nature of both events.

Bob Fleet has been in the industry for 35 years and does not remember an explosion ever taking place.

“Routinely Tolko’s mills do monthly inspections under its joint health and safety regulations, but the reality is Prince George and Burns Lake thought they had pretty good plans in place too,” he says.

Fleet says Tolko normally does inspections around air-borne sawdust, ignition sources, fire extinguishers, flip and pull hazards.

Williams Lake Curling Club

vigil honours MacDonald and Mullett

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

MAY 9TH - 7:00 PM AT THE CURLING CLUB All Curlers please attend

PUBLIC NOTICE Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake held a candlelight vigil Friday on Carson Drive to honour nursing students Rayel MacDonald, 20, who passed away and Alysha Mullett, 20, who remains in hospital.

Speculation continues Continued From Page A1 “These inspections are really focused at crawling right up on the rafters and looking for sawdust and then vacuuming it up.

We do that regularly.”

There are other things Tolko’s done at its mills, Fleet says, including at its Quesnel mill, where a humidification system was installed.

“The system takes the sawdust out of the air by increasing the humidity.

It’s an example that all industry could do if we found sawdust to be the risk that people are starting to think it might be.”

Speculation continues around whether there is an added risk due to processing pine beetle wood.

Fleet says industry en-

courages WorkSafe BC to step forward with the Burns Lake explosion findings as soon as possible.

“If they could do that without compromising the investigation it would help.”

The peculiarity is that for 25 years there hasn’t been a similar sawmill explosion and in four months there have been two, Fleet says.

“Both mills are processing fairly high amounts of mountain pine beetle kill lodgepole pine. That wood comes to the mills much drier than if you were processing green Douglas fir. We know it seems to produce a little bit more, little bit finer quality of sawdust than processing green fir or even green lodge pole pine.”

West Fraser says over the last number of years it has done a lot of dust collection and reduction work at its mills.

“Since the Burns Lake incident, we went around to all of our mills and conducted thorough risk and hazard assessments using third-party expertise,” says solid wood vice president Ray Ferris, adding where needed some mills have curtailed operations to address issues both after Burns Lake and subsequently after Lakeland.

The company continues to spend lots of dollars to ensure that issues related to dust are remote.

“We continue this week to carry out a number of divisional and corporate inspections, using third party expertise to ensure

ourselves that our mills are safe and people can come to work with confidence that those types of events can’t re-occur.”

City of WL, CRD to attend convention Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer All rooms are booked from Lac La Hache to Lone Butte in anticipation of the North Central Local Government Association Convention taking place in 100 Mile House May 2-4.

A number of resolutions will be put forward at the convention from local governments.

Ones from the Cariboo Regional District include government funding to help with fencing on secondary roads for ranchers, and lobbying the government to enlist the aid of ranchers when it comes to fighting noxious weeds.

The City of Williams Lake is proposing to petition the provincial and federal governments to revise their grant formula so that they do not require matching funding, or come up with a new system that allows cashstrapped local governments to address their critical infrastructure needs without having to borrow money to do so.

CRD chair Al Richmond says most of the convention will be held at the South Cariboo Recreation Centre, with the exception of the opening reception on Wednesday (May 2), which will take place at the 108 Heritage Site.

“We want to show people some of the heritage we have here.”

It will be the first time 100 Mile House has hosted this type of convention before, and Richmond says while it will be a good opportunity to show off the community, it will also allow organizers to learn how well the community can handle an event of this size.

“It’s in Quesnel next year, so that’ll be great,”

www.wltribune.com A3

Richmond says.

Included in the NCLGA will be plenary sessions on topics such as healthy families, carbon offsets, mining in Northern BC, and First Nations relationship building.

NCLGA president Art Kaehn says there will be a break out session on Friday morning with Don Basserman, from the Omineca Beetle Action Coalition around Northern BC’s farming and food security.

“He puts on a great talk and will also be speaking at 3:45 p.m. about a real community look at tourism. I haven’t heard the talk but I can imagine that it will be on par with his food security talk.”

Basserman has a real passion for both topics, Kaehn says.

Another thing Kaehn is happy about is that the Northern Rockies are rejoining the organization.

“We are looking forward to welcoming them back,” he says.

Co-hosted by the Cariboo Regional District and the District of 100 Mile House, the convention has attracted 230 registrants, plus presenters, companions, and 28 trade show booths.

“It’s a self-funded event with sponsorship that’s very diverse,” says NCLGA president Art Kaehn. “We’re not taking money out of the community. It’s actually bringing in money from other parts of Northern B.C. from major sponsors like Spectra Energy, which serves a big chunk of Northern B.C,” Kaehn says.

A total of $90,000 is coming in through sponsorship, $52,000 from registration and $5,000 from the trade booths alone.

TRU works to attract international learners Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It’s hard not to get excited listening to Dr. Ray Sanders talk about the next step Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus is taking when it comes to attracting new students.

On May 2, a delegation of 11 agents from all of the world, including regions in places such as China, India and Saudia Arabia, will be in the city for an afternoon to see what the community has to offer international students.

Sitting in his office on a Tuesday afternoon, Sanders, who is the campus director, says Williams Lake can offer a true Canadian experience and he believes what international students will see when they get here will “blow them away,” the idea being to show them that Williams Lake is a great place to live and study.

The delegation has been to Kamloops before, but this will be the first time TRU is

furthering the opportunity to include Williams Lake.

“That’s huge for us,” Sanders says.

Williams Lake, he adds, is a community that rallies around causes.

“I know from all my experiences in international education, as I assess what we have here in Williams Lake, it’s just a secret waiting to be told.”

The tour will kick off the push to attract international students set by the campus. In three years, the hope is to have 300 enrolled.

Kamloops, he explains, has reaped economic benefits of around $88 million generated annually in the community from the foreign students, who arrive with a single suitcase, and then proceed to purchase things they need and pay for rent.

Around 1,400 international students are enrolled there.

For Williams Lake, that could be an infu-

sion of $12 million once there were 300 students attending school here.

“We’re fortunate that we’re able to bring Williams Lake campus into the TRU World fold,” Sanders says.

When Sanders is asked why he would pursue bringing international students to the community, he holds up three fingers.

First, to globalize the existing Canadian students’ view; second, to expand that global view into the community; and three, to increase the critical mass of the campus’s enrollment.

“We’re not displacing our existing students, but the infusion of more students will give us the opportunity to offer more programs,” he explains.

The plan is have eight to 10 students enrolled in the licenced practical nursing program in the fall of 2012.

By January, it’s anticipated the first big push of students will arrive because it will take time for students to ob-

tain visas.

Sanders also believes the influx of international students will cause the faculty to think in new ways, and even the city to think in new ways.

“Another benefit of having international students is the longterm relationships that are built in the community.”

The initiative is also being prompted by the premier’s office, he says.

There are a handful of foreign students enrolled in Williams Lake who may have arrived in the community with a spouse, but the May 2 event will really be the first deliberate attempt to recruit.

Housing, he admits, will be a serious issue.

However, he points to how many locals have opened up their homes to exchange students.

“This community brings in quite a few exchange students throughout the year and many local service clubs help with that.”

In the long run the plan is to build housing, but there’s a chickenand-the-egg dilemma — does the university wait until the students are enrolled, and then build housing?

Once there are 300 students, it will catch the attention of the folks needed to build housing, Sanders says, adding the school year will run year-round because foreign students, once they arrive, don’t go home until they are finished their studies.

Grateful that TRU already has its TRU World program, Sanders says Williams Lake does not have to start from scratch.

When he arrived in Williams Lake a year and a half ago, student enrollment was down, and TRU World was getting too full so it made sense to ask if Williams Lake could be part of the program.

“TRU World has even paid for a Williams Lake website, which will be up and running fairly soon,” Sanders adds.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer During the National Day of Mourning ceremony held at the cenotaph in Williams Lake Saturday, organizer Eric Freeston called out the names of the four mill workers recently killed in Burns Lake and Prince George.

Afterwards he said it is unfortunate that ceremonies to remember those who have died in the workplace have to take place each year because it would be better if there had been no deaths at all.

“But the sad reality is that workplace deaths continue to occur,” Freeston said, adding people working in forestry, mining, and restaurants and even those driving taxis, are subject to injury and it’s necessary to remember people who have lost their lives and pay tribute to their sacrifices on the job.

The National Day of Mourning is observed on April 28 in Canada to commemorate those injured, who have suffered illness or have died due to work-place hazards.

First initiated by the Canadian Union of Public Employees in 1984, the Canadian Labour of Congress picked up on it the following year, and in 1990 it passed third reading at the federal legislation level and became a national day.

Today it is observed in more than 80 countries in the world; however, Freeston said the observance hasn’t reduced the number of deaths. That number has been growing.

“Health and safety

vention to make work places safer, Auge added.

Mark Stevens, regional manager from Tolko Industries Ltd., said taking time to remember those who have died from all industries is valuable.

“As an employer it’s our goal to have an accident-free workplace.

We continue to strive to achieve that and find new ways to succeed where we haven’t in the past,” Stevens said, adding safety is a number one priority.

United Steelworkers Local 1-425 president Paul French noted that everyone goes to work believing they have the right to come home.

“But it’s up to us to look toward that and make that happen. It’s up to us to report haz-

ards and work toward fixing them. Safety is everybody’s responsibility, not just the managers and the bosses.

It’s up to us to train, correct, and look out for each other’s wellbeing,” French said.

Richard Vollo, regional vice president of the BC Ambulance and Paramedics Association, described some of the workplace incidents he’s attended and the common thread of industrial accidents.

“In my 27 years it’s been a lack of education and improper supervision of young workers. One example I can share is a young fellow that was hired for a company that recycled tires.

“On his first day, his task was to ensure the tires didn’t get stuck in

the grinder,” Vollo recalled.

When paramedics arrived on the scene, he was half in and half out of the grinder.

He was told to shut off the machine before he attempted to loosen a tire from the grinder.

“What he wasn’t told was not to use his leg and that the wheels in the grinder continue to turn for at least five minutes before they stop. This young fellow lost his life,” Vollo said, adding it’s difficult because often paramedics see accidents that could have been prevented.

Vollow said mentoring young workers is crucial “Make sure they know what the safety rules are and how important they are to all of us,” he said.

Mill workers remembered at ceremony laws haven’t necessarily been enforced,” he said.

Cariboo Regional District Area F director Joan Sorley echoed Freeston’s concern, saying it is a shame that the numbers haven’t improved.

In 2011 142 workers died in B.C., in 2010 it was 121 and in 2009 it was 121.

“We’re not getting better and we’re not off to a good start this year. As a society and as people who care we have to do better. All of us, from the top down, from the bottom up, politicians, we have to do better,” Sorley said.

City coun. Surinderpal Rathor, who also works at a local sawmill, thanked Freeston for organizing the event.

“The explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George are very close to my heart. It’s important we remember those colleagues, friends and family that have died in the workplace,” he said, adding it’s important that safety is something all employers and employees need to invest in.

WorkSafe BC occupational officer Leonard Auge said this year’s remembrance is fresh with the sawmill tragedies.

“I want to ensure you that WorkSafe BC, its prevention officers and investigation officers will do everything in their power to find out what happened at these operations to determine what can be done to prevent something like that happening again,” Auge said.

Love from all your children & grandchildren.

Sears stays put in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Sears manager Rob Harrison says, despite the rumours being reported to him, the store in Williams Lake is not closing.

“People have seen some items on TV. The first one came out about

the United States. Sears Robuck was in trouble so then we got a few inquiries,” Harrison says.

Then there was the news that three stores in Canada were closing in Vancouver, Ottawa and Calgary.

Harrison explains the flag-ship store in Ottawa is being totally

rebuilt, so in fact only two “big stores” are closing.

The term “big store” is different from the kind of store in Williams Lake.

“We have what’s called a home-town store. And we’re OK,” Harrison explains.

In fact, he adds, the

home-town style of stores is a growing and blossoming item in Sears.

“When I started there were only about 100 stores like us across Canada and now there are over 300 and there are more opening every month. This program will never go away.”

CCRHD considers health authority change Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After mulling it over for a couple of months the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District Board is pursuing the possibility of falling under one health authority.

Presently communities within the CCRHD come under the auspices of either Interior Health or Northern Health, depending on where they are located.

At its April 20 meeting directors passed a motion unanimously to explore the option of coming solely under Northern Health.

While CCRHD chair John Massier wasn’t at the meeting, because he was attending a health roundtable in Kamloops, he said the board’s plan is to engage in discussions with both health authorities about possibly moving into one health authority.

“The idea comes up

mostly from the directors in the Interior Health Authority,” Massier says.

Some of the main issues are around recruitment and retention of medical professionals, and the thought that it might be simpler to deal with one health authority instead of two.

There is a number of larger cities within Interior Health to compete against too, he explains.

So far there have not been any formal discussions with either health

authority so the plan is to gather some data of service over the last decade and invite representatives from each authority to meet with the board.

“We don’t really know at this point if the provincial government or the health authorities would even entertain the idea, because those boundaries might be set.

However, we still want to see if there is an ability to make this happen,” Massier says.

Our Viewpoint

What a travesty If they were unpopular before, public school teachers are really walking around with targets on them now.

After the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) members voted 73 per cent in favour of withdrawing all extracurricular activities, the uproar from students, parents and the general public was loud and clear. People are madder than hornets, as they realized this placed graduation ceremonies, school sports and field trips in jeopardy.

Unfortunately, the only people who will suffer directly are the children from kindergarten to Grade 12.

They will lose events that form memories for the rest of their lives if this isn’t resolved. Losing the field trips will be especially difficult for the elementary school children. It is those end-of-the-school-year outings that are so much fun, and for many, they are trips they may not otherwise have the opportunity to take.

However, it’s the older students and the grads who may see their formal education end with a sour taste in their mouths. School administrators may be able to re-

arrange cap-and-gown ceremonies during school hours, but there is bound to be disappointment if parents and family are unable to attend the graduation ceremonies because of work commitments. There are senior secondary students who will not be able to compete with their peers throughout the region and the province because they cannot play if they do not have a teacher/ sponsor and that won’t happen because of the BCTF dictate.

Yes, it hurts the children, but we also have to consider there were 27 per cent of the teachers who voted against the motion. These are the ones who would rather volunteer, so “their students� can have those lifetime memories. Teachers feel they are being backed into a corner and are losing all their rights to have a say on what’s going on in provincial education and their workplaces.

The B.C. Liberals have been mean-spirited in their non-negotiation with the teachers and have definitely played a role in what we are faced with today. — Ken Alexander

ith the continued economic growth of the oil and gas, forestry, mining and tourism industries, our northern highways are becoming crucial trade routes and are handling heavier traffic. This puts added stress on highway infrastructure and increases the need for safe and reliable routes through northern B.C. Along Highway MLA 97, passenger Musings vehicle Donna Barnett traffic grew by three per cent from 2000 to 2003, and heavy truck traffic increased by as much as 28 per cent. We expect these numbers to continue to grow.

In 2005, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure recognized these increased traffic pressures and introduced the Cariboo Connector program, a long-term program to widen and improve the 460-kilometre portion of Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Prince George. This will involve four-lane construction, intersection development, and safety and capacity improvements. The program was designed to proceed over an extended time frame with various phases.

For Phase 1, the province committed $200 million in funding over five years. This phase focused on congested sections near communities, and on identified safety issues.

Included under Phase 1 was fourlaning and intersection improvements at various sections of the highway between Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. On April 13, Premier Christy Clark announced that Phase 2 of the program would go forward with an investment from the province of another $200 million over the next five years. It will involve nine new projects that will four-lane an additional 30 km of Highway 97 between Prince George and Cache Creek, and will create more than 1,000 direct jobs.

Highway 97 will be a safer and more reliable route for tourist and commuter traffic, as well as a more efficient route for resource and trade transportation.

This will help us attract businesses, investment, residents, and tourists to our beautiful part of the province.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Bill 22 hurts No amount of money could replace loss public education Editor:

Editor: Teachers are withdrawing from extra curricular/voluntary activities with heavy hearts.

This is not easy for any of us but we must take a stand against Bill 22, the education Improvement Act. Here is just one reason why our stand is of great necessity. Bill 22 neither addresses class size (number of students in a class) nor class composition (number of special needs students in a class).

The superintendent and the principal will decide if the class is appropriate for learning. The teacher has no say.

Bill 22 hits quality public education in the gut. Bill 22 is just bad for both kids and teachers.

Yours in defence of public education.

Joan Erb, president Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association

When it comes to life — all life — it is water and land that sustain all, no matter who you are.

This is central to the Tsilhqot’in people’s position that there can be no give and take when it comes to protecting Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) and the surrounding ecosystem (Yanah Biny [Little Fish Lake] and Nabas) from an utterly destructive revised mine proposal — a bid that is in fact based on Option 2 in the original Prosperity Mine bid, which the former 2010 CEAA review panel, Taseko Mines Limited and

Environment Canada all agreed had greater environmental risk than the plan that was ultimately rejected.

While this proposal might be all about money for Taseko Mines Limited, for us it is about life and future generations. No amount of money could replace what would be lost.

Of course, the issue of rights is also crucial to us.

The same CEAA panel in 2010 reported that our current and future rights would be irreparably harmed, and noted that the incredible cultural importance of this area would be lost for the Tsilhqot’in whether or

not Teztan Biny is somehow kept on life support in the middle of a massive open-pit mining operation. Â In 2010 the federal government did the only thing it could honourably do under its responsibility to the environment and its constitutional duty to protect First Nations rights, and rejected this proposed mine. With continuing immitigable impacts to the environment, fish and grizzly habitat and aboriginal use now and in the future, it must do so again.

This project is not the only option for Williams Lake or the Tsilhqot’in.  As Williams Lake’s

mayor said during the recent municipal election, there are many other projects and options for the city and region, and indeed the Tsilhqot’in Nation continues to work towards other economic opportunities.

It might be easy for some to say that the Tsilhqot’in should step aside, but one wonders if they would do so if this project were to be built in Williams Lake and threatened their water and land, instead of out of the town’s sight, 125 kilometres away.

Subscribers now have online access This week, all Williams Lake Tribune subscribers will enjoy full access to the newspaper’s premium online content at no additional cost.

This is an important step as part of a growing industry trend to reward our loyal readers with free unlimited access to all the local coverage you expect from your community newspaper.

That means all website content, including our eEditions (a digital replica of the paper), is now included in the cost of your paid subscription.

On May 1, the first day for subscribers to activate their digital account, the Tribune will publish details about the premium content plan and how it will work.

Starting May 1, print subscribers can go to www.wltribune.com to sign up for digital access.

May 1, new clients can subscribe for an average cost of $6.16 a month for an all-access package, which includes the print

edition and premium online content. Discounts are offered for seniors or office pick-up.

Readers who want to forgo the print edition, or who live outside the Tribune’s delivery area, will still be able to access digital-only premium content with a subscription.

With this step, the Williams Lake Tribune joins scores of paidcirculation community newspapers in cities large and small across the country which are recognizing the value of their online content, Williams Lake Tribune publisher Lisa Bowering said. “Our next-generation products, such as our online content and eeditions, play an important part of our future,� Bowering said. “We will deliver the news and information to readers when they want it, where they want it and, most importantly, how they want it.�

While recognizing the value of the unique, local content created

by the newsroom staff at the Williams Lake Tribune, Bowering also appreciates the realities of a free-access internet. “We understand that news outside of what our local reporters generate can be had elsewhere and for free, but there are literally thousands of such stories each day,� she said. “The stories written by our staff are unique to Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin; there is an inherent value in that — we appreciate it, our print subscribers appreciate it — and it should be recognized in all facets of our industry, including the emerging online component.�

Subscribers will enjoy privileges that include the ability to forward stories via e-mail or social media accounts, participate in online discussions and access all content.

Non-subscribers will still have free digital access to limited areas, such as provincial news, our

web site’s front page and section fronts, blogs, classifieds and obituaries, Bowering said.

And when breaking news happens locally, that too will be available to all site visitors at no charge.

The Tribune’s all-access paid premium print and online model represents next-generation thinking for the newspaper industry, Bowering said. “Frankly, our industry could have adopted this paid-premium online approach years ago, but the thinking was always on page views and unique site visits,� she said. “We all thought that the more circulation you had — in this case, page views — the more desirable for advertisers. But people utilize advertising on the Internet differently.�

She said the evolution to valuing online content is “simply another tool in our kit. We have always been a media company.�

Bowering has been reticent to charge for online content, considering it may impact page views.

However, she is confident the hyper-local nature of content created by the Williams Lake Tribune staff will win the day. “If we have something that no one else can produce, readers might be willing to pay for it,� she said. “We have that audience through the Williams Lake Tribune — and we owe it to our print readers to share the same respect for them with our online product.�

Bowering expects there may be an initial decline in page views during the transition to e-subscriptions. However, she knows it will be minimal and short-lived as the products value gains traction. “What’s encouraging is we will show our advertisers a dedicated readership that is committed to the Williams Lake Tribune brand — in print and online.�

The Tribune welcomes letters to the editor on local, relevant, and topical matters, up to 300 words. Letters are subject to editing for clarity, brevity, and legality.

All letters and roses/raspberries must include the writer’s full name, daytime telephone number, and hometown for verification purposes. Anonymous letters or those signed with pen names will not be published. The Tribune will make every effort to print all letters and roses/raspberries that meet the above criteria, but cannot guarantee publication in any particular issue. Letters on a variety of topics by a variety of writers will be considered before multiple letters by the same author on the same topic. Letters will be published on the Tribune website at wltribune.com. E-mailed letters are preferred, and can be sent to editor@wltribune.com

Cycling club to premiere film

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Thursday, May 10 Strength in Numbers Film premier of Strength in Numbers, produced, directed, and edited by Anthill Films, runs at 7 p.m. on May 10 at the Gibraltar Room.

The event is hosted by the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and the Williams Lake Cycling Club.

Tickets are $10 at the door.

There will be Peel Out registration and prizes.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer As an early revving up for the third annual mountain bike festival taking place in Williams Lake May 19 and 20, the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and Williams Lake Cycling Club are hosting the world premiere of Strength in Numbers, the latest bike film offering from Anthill Films.

Showing at the Gibraltar Room on May 10, proceeds from the film premiere will go toward bike trail maintenance. “It looks like it’s going to be a killer movie with shots from Nepal, the States, and B.C. Anthill usually does a pretty good job,� says the consortium’s chair Justin Calof, adding there’s a decent sound system at the Gibraltar Room with a big screen.

The local bike groups will also show some films or slides they’ve built locally before the screening. “Like the trails we experienced in Nepal, Strength In Numbers is about the threads that tie different communities of mountain bikers together. The bike is a tool of connections. Tire to ground.

Foot to pedal. Hand to handlebar.

Effort put out, in turn rewarded with full body happiness,� says the film’s creators. “Go to Nepal, meet the people and find singletrack that has never seen a mountain bike. It is the place to do it.

Strength in Numbers was produced, written, directed and edited by Anthill Films in co-production with Red Bull Media House.

Presented by Shimano and Trek in association with Contour HD, Clif Bar, Pinkbike.com and PRO Components.

Additional support for the film is provided by the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, Kona, Toyota Trucks, Scion, Oakley, Easton, Evoc, Big Mountain Adventures, Verbier St. Bernard and Ride Nepal.

There will also be registration taking place that evening for the upcoming Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival.

Tickets are available for $10 at the door, show time is 7 p.m.

Local riders are gearing up for Peel Out — a two-day mountain bike extravaganza in Williams Lake.

Riders ready to Peel Out Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Local riders have been buffing up corners, building new jumps, and adding a few more features on bike trails in anticipation of the third annual Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival. “This is something the Williams Lake Cycling Club started three years ago and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium supports,� says consortium chairperson Justin Calof.

The two-day event starts on May 19 on Fox Mountain with the down hill event — same course as last year with a new start zone.

That race will be followed by the Boitanio Bike Park Jam, with a barbecue, and because the bike company Specialized is sponsoring the event, there’ll be some demo bikes and tents. “We’ll have a couple pros out — including local pro rider James Doerfling — doing some trick demos,�

Calof says.

There are contests open to little kids, too. “We had six-year olds there last year doing little pump-track challenges or slow-track races, just super fun events. There will be something for everyone to do and then we’ll have some judged competition.�

Saturday night will feature the funk/ska band Dope Soda from Vancouver Island at a 19-plus event sponsored by Cariboo Brewery at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre (the old fire hall).

Calof says it should be fun and to keep up the hype, tickets are only available at the door for $10. Doors open at 8 p.m. “Capacity’s pretty limited so get there early if you want in.�

Sunday morning will feature the second annual West Side Super Down Hill.

Riders can expect a longer, more pedally down hill course. “There’s a lot of hype around that.

People are really looking forward to it. It’s a really fun course.�

It will begin at Bell-E-Acres Golf Course on Hodgson Road.

That afternoon will contain a special, pro downhill spectator event at the same area. “This year we’ve created an online registration system that’s going to allow for instant results, which was a bit of a challenge last year,� Calof explains, adding the system is contingent on everyone registering by May 16 online at ridethecariboo.ca.

Around 145 people raced at the 2011 festival and this year organizers are expecting more.

Advertising is out on Pinkbike. com and around the province. “This is part of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium’s goal to grow the mountain bike economy by having big events that draw people from out of town that stay over the weekend,� Calof says.

Twenty volunteers helped with the 2011 Peel Out, a number he hopes for in 2012. People can sign up to volunteer by calling Lenora at Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed.

Calof estimates the local mountain biking community has grown to the thousands, and has been building over the last 25 years. “We have one of the largest legalized mountain bike networks in the province, meaning our trails are designated by the provincial government as designated mountain bike trails. If somebody is going to log or build a road, they have to manage around the trails.�

Those safeguards provide greater security for the trails and help flow through provincial funding to maintain the trail infrastructure.

Coupling that is an endorsement from all local governments and the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition that the trails network is also an economic driver and a prominent feature of the economy.

The area can boast trails that are unique in style, adds Calof. “Our trails are really flowy and tight. Unlike the Coast, where it’s really rocky and technical, our trails are forgiving and fast, and people of all skills can enjoy the mountain bike experience here. There’s also something for everybody.�

The local mountain bike culture, he adds, is welcoming and inviting and people are keen to share what the area has to offer. “We’ve developed a website at ridethecariboo.ca that we’re hoping people will use by posting photos and sharing stories that will make our culture stronger, and we’ll be putting out a new trail map in a couple of weeks,� Calof says.

Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20 Peel Out The Williams Lake Cycling Club’s Peel Out mountain bike extravaganza goes over the weekend featuring a downhill event Saturday on Fox Mountain. Sunday, the festivities continue with the second annual West Side Super Down Hill.

Saturday night will feature the funk/ska band Dope Soda from Vancouver Island at a 19-plus event at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre.

Saturday afternoon, following the Fox Mountain downhill, the Boitanio Bike Park Jam takes place. Demo tents with demo bikes will be setup for participants.

Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 Lakers Car Club Spring Roundup Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 the Lakers Car Club in Williams Lake hosts its 18th Annual Spring Roundup.

sports Boxer lands Golden Gloves trophy Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake Boxing Club’s Harley Mulvahill, 27, returned from the Golden Gloves in Vernon last weekend with a final trophy.

“I almost didn’t go, but I’m glad I went,” Mulvahill says.

“I was expecting it to take place in the middle of May and then we got this memo at the club a week before the fights were to take place saying they were happening on April 21 and 22.”

Because of that, the number of fighters who showed up was less than normal, and gave Mulvahill an advantage.

“It wasn’t a bad turnout, but I’ve seen much bigger. I expected to fight two days in a row and only ended up having to fight once.”

His opponent, Dalton Red Crow from Lethbridge, Alta, weighed about six or seven pounds more than Mulvahill.

Mulvahill fought in the 165 lb. 75 kg division. He had more experience — with about 30 fights under his belt.

During the first round, Red Crow came out strong and in decent shape.

“I probably had a little bit of an edge of height on him so that worked to my advantage definitely. I usually try to play tall if I can,” Mulvahill explains, adding he had moved up into a new weight class and fought in tournament at that weight for the first

The Williams Lake Boxing Club’s Harley Mulvahill was victorious late April at the Golden Gloves in Vernon, taking a win over Dalton Red Crow from Lethbridge, Alta. in a 165-pound contest.

Williams Lake time.

“I usually fight lighter than that, but I’m getting too big for that now so I’ve had to grow and move up.”

He admits he was expecting to rematch a guy from Vancouver Island who has a win over him, but he didn’t make it.

In the end, there were only two who showed up for that class, but Mulvahill was glad he went because it’s hard to get fights sometimes in the Cariboo.

By the second round, he was starting to figure out Red Crow’s style.

Angles worked well Mulvahill says.

“He’d come at me straight ahead and throw in big shots. It was real easy to side step him and then counter. He was really susceptible to my movements as long as I used angles.”

At the tournament, Mickey Sims, president of BC Amateur Boxing, actually stepped up and coached Mulvahill, something the boxer is

grateful for.

“He said if I think about anything, think about angles and getting a new angle on him.

Boxing is about lots of angles, pivoting left and right. Red Crow was a real strong big guy, but his boxing skills weren’t as polished as mine.”

He’d come straight in with big punches, but Mulvahill wasn’t there to hit, and didn’t land much on him.

“In round three he could barely touch me.

I was starting to figure him out and I was slipping all over, countering good, and getting the juices flowing,” he says.

The three rounds lasted three minutes and by the end, his opponent was bleeding out of his nose and his mouth, and Mulvahill says his own arms and chest looked like they’d been in a blood bath.

“You never really get used to that,” he admits.

When the bell rang, he knew he had the provincial title.

Afterwards Mulvahill told Red Crow he appreciated him coming all the way from Lethbridge.

“If he hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have had a fight.”

Up until the memo arrived at the club, Mulvahill hadn’t been training seriously or getting much sparring in. He had his heart set on the fights in Quesnel and Vernon taking place later in May. Once he signed up for the Golden Glove, he trained nine days straight, sparring with brothers Stu and Roberto McLellan of the WLBC. “I couldn’t ask for better sparring partners. Stu is ranked number one in Canada for 160 lbs. and Roberto is Canadian Champion at 154.

I’m glad I have them because without them I probably wouldn’t be at the level that I’m at.”

In two weeks, Mulvahill hopes to participate in a bout in Quesnel.

sports New flag football program offered The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex has been chosen by BC Sport Funding Agency to receive a grant from the province of B.C. in order to support local sport development programs in the community.

The city’s recreation services department says it is excited to roll out the new flag football program, Touchdown RunAround.

With assistance from the grant, the city was able to purchase brand new flag football equipment to include three types of flag belts, three sizes of footballs for various age groups, and specialized speed and agility equipment.

The flag football program started Monday, April 23 at the TRU sports field, despite the rain.

Thirty participants ranging in age from eight to 18 years had a

great time learning flag football basics such as agility drills, positions and football plays while burning energy, meeting sports-oriented friends and having a blast. Boys and girls are welcome to continue to register in this no-contact sports opportunity, although spaces are going fast, the city says.

Classes run on Mondays and Wednesdays until May 16.

Instructor Dionte Jelks brings a wealth of experience from his knowledge as a physical education teacher and varsity football coach from various colleges and high schools in the U.S. as well as Canada. Also assisting with the program is volunteer coach Const.

Home Financing Workshop Guest Speaker: Paul Eves, Branch Manager of Scotiabank Some of the activities after the walk/run/ride included breakfast and discussion on how to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDs. In this scene participants play pass the condom.

Jahpa Belleau was the first finisher in the event, running the entire seven kilometres.

Esk’etemc First Nation Aids Walk well supported Liz Twan Special to The Tribune Many walkers, runners, bikers and horseback riders took part in the second annual Esk’etemc AIDS Walk held Saturday, April 21.

Participants of all ages set off (from near the Esk’etemc Rodeo grounds) at 9 a.m. precisely on the seven-kilometre journey back to the main reserve at Alkali Lake on a perfect sunny Saturday morning.

Hosted by the Esk’etemc Health Department, the walk was planned in the hope it would serve as an opportunity to get some exercise (it did), have some fun (yes, indeed) and make a difference in stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS (you can only hope).

There is no doubt that the seven kilometres was a breeze for some, a good hike for many and a struggle for a few.

Jahpa Belleau was the first finisher. He ran all the way and left the rest of the group trailing considerably behind in his wake — George Johnson was the second runner to finish.

Bert Johnson of Dog Creek — an elder — also ran most of the seven kilometres as did Henry (Hank) Johnson, Charlie (Chuck) Johnson, Frankie Robbins and Alec Chelsea, among others.

Alexander Stevens and his youngest daughter, Kendra, rode horseback with Kendra shyly smiling for pretty much the whole seven-kilometre journey. She was so thrilled to be riding alongside her dad.

Several other walkers from Dog Creek joined the group; Martina Camille, her daughter and grandchild (in a stroller) among them.

The participants were all walking for different reasons;

some to honour family/friends lost to HIV/AIDS, some to honour/celebrate cancer survival/loss and many just in support, or for the exercise and the social aspect of the day.

Signs along the route (kilometre markers) each had HIV/AIDS information posted upon them.

The participants were rewarded at the end of the trail, with a delicious breakfast of French toast, whipped cream, berries and more, served at the Esk’etemc Youth Centre. The meal was followed by a frank informative talk about HIV/AIDS (how to avoid contracting the disease, preventative measures, etc.) given

by Esk’etemc Community Health Nurse, Stella Nilsson. Her talk was followed by several games, such as “pass the condom” (which was the cause of great hilarity), in which prizes were won

I, Ross MacLean, General Manager of Gibraltar Mines Ltd., PO Box 130 McLeese Lake, BC, V0L 1P0, intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend Permit PA-01595, issued September 22, 1972 and last amended May 17, 2011 which authorizes the discharge of particulate matter from a copper-molybdenum mine and mill complex to the atmosphere.

The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge occurs is DL3728 (PID – 015074-994), located near McLeese Lake, BC. Gibraltar Mine has announced its Gibraltar Development Plan 3 (GDP3) which will increase Gibraltar’s nominal milling capacity from 55,000 short dry tons/day (sdt/d) to 85,000 sdt/d. The GDP3 Project utilizes the existing site primary crushers, modernizes the mine’s original coarse ore handling system and installs a second concentrator circuit (consisting of a SAG mill / Ball mill grinding circuit and associated otation equipment) adjacent to the existing concentrator. In addition, a new molybdenum otation circuit will be constructed and housed in its’ own building to replace the existing molybdenum circuit which is housed inside the existing concentrator. These changes to the Gibraltar facilities necessitate that the air emissions permit be amended to include the new and modiďŹ ed infrastructure as well as remove the air emission points which the project will make redundant.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at Ste. 400 – 640 Borland Street, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 4T1.

The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.

Dated this 21st day of April, 2012.

If you are Suffering from Pain and Inammation We have a Gift for You! “It is a Pay-It-Forward Gift... because we have experienced life changing results due to a sweet, natural cactus fruit juice that can eliminate pain and inflammation.”

A year ago... a friend of mine was in such pain he could barely walk. With Arthritis and Spinal Stenosis in his neck and low back, severe edema in his feet, and other degenerative conditions... at 68 his health was failing fast.

Today - he is pain free and healthier than he’s been in 15 years and so am I and so are many of my friends and family.

How? -- it’s a simple natural answer... a sweet elixir from the heart of the Sonoran Desert.

Inflammation is at the root of all pain and degenerative diseases including Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, Allergies, Asthma, Lupus, Digestive Disorders, Depression, Heart Disease, Sleep Disorders, High Blood Pressure, Alzheimer’s, Aging and more. Inflammation can be caused by stress, physical and emotional traumas, toxins, pathogens (virus, bacteria...), chemicals and drugs. Inflammation can affect any tissue in our bodies from the vital organs of our brain, heart or liver to muscles, joints and nerves.

Chromic Inflammation The Cause of Pain and Disease Chronic Inflammation, was responsible for all my friend’s problems... and mine, too. I have always believed that for every physical problem, there is a plant that can help solve it . My clear intention was to find that natural solution I did and will share that secret with you now... it is a simple cactus fruit from a very special location with a very rare ingredient.

The nopal cactus fruit grown in the hottest and most extreme climate on the planet has created a natural defense to survive its extreme location... and its defense is our major miracle.

Nopal Cactus Fruit

Shaman and Medicine Women from the Southwest have known for centuries to use the fruit from this cactus for inflammation. Now over 300 medical research studies have proven that a very rare antioxidant in the fruit... called a Betalain... is what is so very effective in reducing pain and inflammation. It even stimulates stem cell regeneration!

Betalains The Answer to Pain and Inflammation Carried on the high frequency magenta pigment, all 24 different types of these rare anti-inflammatory Betalains are found in the fruit of this special cactus. Betalains target inflamed tissue and release and flush the waters which have collected the toxins, dead cells, pathogens, old drugs and chemicals... the toxic waters which cause the pain, degeneration and eventually disease.

I found this juice recently and it’s bottled by a company that had the consciousness to cold press rather than pasteurize this precious juice to keep the enzymes and nutrients vital and bottle it in a nitrogen environment so that no preservatives have to be used!

Pain ... Gone!

Within 5 days of drinking the juice... my friend pulled up his pant leg and said, “Look, I can see my ankle bones!”

With so much edema in his feet, he hadn’t seen his ankle bones in years! A few days after that, his back and neck pain began going away -- after 15 years of suffering! We began sharing it with friends and we all began feeling better!

We’ve gifted bottles of this juice to people, just like you, who have read this article and agreed to become educated about inflammation and give it at least a one or two month trial.

I know now -- that this juice is not only an answer to our prayers for my friend’s pain and degeneration... it is our answer for longer, healthier, happier lives. It may very well be the answer you have been looking for, too!
