Walk for harmony coming up tuesday Gaeil Farrar photo

Bettina Schoen, Canadian Mental Health Association program manager, holds up one of the scooters that will be presented as prizes to winners of the association’s multiculturalism poster contest that was judged Tuesday at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre by a group of celebrity judges including Mayor Kerry Cook. The grand prize is a mountain bike. There are also four scooters and other prizes to present to students who created winning posters.

The winning posters will be hung in various businesses along the route for the Walk for Harmony taking place on Tuesday, May 8. The walk will start with some opening remarks in Boitanio Park at 11:30 a.m. followed by a short walk through the downtown area to Spirit Square.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Const. Andy Yung has pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault, following a Sept. 10, 2011 incident when 17-year-old Jamie Haller was alleged to have sustained injuries while in Williams Lake RCMP custody.

The plea was entered this morning, May 2, in Williams Lake Provincial Court.

The next court date is set for May 16 at 1:30 p.m., at which time trial dates are expected to be fixed.

Both Crown and defence have requested a trial time of five days.

Taseko raises concerns on First Nations input Letter to minister from company ‘disrespectful,’ says the TNG, but Taseko says it just wants a fair review process Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Concerns about First Nations participation in the upcoming New Prosperity Mine Project federal environmental assessment, voiced in a letter by Taseko Mines Ltd., contains descriptions that are ignorant and disrespectful, says Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) Chief Marilyn Baptiste.

Written by president and CEO Russell Hallbauer to Environment Minister Peter Kent, the Nov. 23 letter raises complaints about the previous panel hearings for the original Prosperity Mine project proposal.

First Nations drumming and singing, school children presenting a play involving “dying fish,” or the showing of a “sensational” video about saving Fish Lake, don’t belong in an environmental review process, Hallbauer writes.

He also protests that issues of spirituality were raised in the panel’s final report, and suggests if the company believes the panel for the new review is biased, it may pursue court action.

Baptiste says if spirituality is not taken into account, then government and industry are still stuck in the 1800s.

She says that drumming and prayers are always done at meetings, gatherings, general assemblies, and elders meetings, so why should the panel hearings be any different?

“Will they go back to outlawing our drumming and our ceremonies?” she asks.

Taseko’s letter surfaced this week, after a freedom of information request was made by the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s lawyer.

While she is disappointed with the letter, Baptiste adds it’s unfor-

tunate because the TNG has asked the government’s agencies to advise them every time they hear from Taseko.

“I’m sure they are advising the company about every time we talk to them. Why aren’t they doing the same for us?” Baptiste says, alleging that some of the changes that have been made to the environmental assessment guidelines have been made in favour of the company.

Kent says he responded to Taseko’s letter, writing that he would forward the company’s letter to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

He says, however, that he has not given CEAA any instructions to proceed with the changes requested by the proponent.

He also says he has “not instructed CEAA to amend the criteria used in the first panel review.”

Responding to the negative feed-

back the letter is receiving now that it’s been made public, Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison says he wonders if people understand the intent of the letter and what the company was trying to accomplish by writing it.

“We want the environmental review process to be fair and balanced, and we want it to be consistent with the law and the requirements of the law. An environmental process has a very specific purpose, described in law, and an assessment of spirituality is not part of that legal requirement.”

Spirituality is a subject that should be discussed and considered by government as part of the Crown’s obligation and duty to consult First Nations. That is where those discussions should take place, Battison suggests.

Drumming doesn’t belong in process: Battison Continued From Page A1 Taseko isn’t against drumming, praying or discussing spirituality, he adds, but insists those activities don’t belong in the assessment process.

“An environmental assessment doesn’t consider the socioeconomic factors, but a decision made by cabinet or the minister can take into consideration other information, besides that gathered during the assessment.

I think people think the assessment is the decision-making process, but it is not exclusively.

It’s only a component of the decision making process.”

Battison says there’s a limited role for spiritual considerations;

however, he says those considerations are not about the spirituality of a place, but rather where a place has cultural heritage significance for various things.

“If a place is described as having cultural heritage significance it may be because it may include spiritual use, but the significance of it is as it relates to cultural heritage. That may be where archeology or signs of habitation have been discovered.”

By saving Fish Lake, with its new mine design and mitigation measures, Taseko is considering the cultural heritage significance of the area, he says.

In the letter, Hallbauer also makes a request that all of the panel members should be seen to be unbiased in respect to all matters before the panel.

“The act says that panel members shall have no bias so we expect that to be the case.

That’s a reasonable expectation under the law,” Battison says.

Leaders from the TNG, meanwhile, are hoping members of the previous panel are going to participate in the New Prosperity review because it would give continuity to the process.

“We have been pressing and advising government that they have to have the same panel if they want to only review the changes to this alternative proposal. If it’s not the same panel,

it should be at least one or two members to be a sufficient review,” Baptiste says.

Independent MLA Bob Simpson says he’s met with Battison a number of times asking if Taseko can find a different way to relate to the Tsilhqot’in, so he’s surprised that the company wrote the letter, knowing it would be eventually be made public.

“There’s a lack of inherent illogical integrity in the letter about spirituality, culture and heritage. If you look at the New Prosperity project overview under the Fish Lake part, where Taseko mentions that the Tsilhqot’in ascribe a strong spiritual relationship with the island on Fish Lake, then why would they ask that spirituality be removed from the environmental assessment process?”

Simpson asks.

The First Nations relationship to the land, whether non-First Nations understand it or buy it or not, doesn’t matter, because all of the First Nations cultural heritage and traditional uses are all infused with spirituality, he says.

“That’s why that becomes a critical component and to try and negate that under threat of legal challenge is where I struggle because what they’re signalling is if they get a “no” again, they’re going to challenge it in court,” Simpson says.

District to consult Prizes awarded at junior council meeting on long-term plan

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer School District 27 trustees are planning to hold public consultation sessions this fall to assist in developing a long-term plan for the district.

The board issued the statement April 24 following its regular meeting that was held in 100 Mile House.

The statement advises all stakeholders that the board is reviewing and consulting data and past consultation processes with regards to developing the long-term plan but anticipates no major changes for the 2012/13 school year, chair William Van Osch said in the announcement. The notice has also been sent to district staff and union representatives as well as provincial and city officials.

A public consultation is anticipated to take place this fall with proposed changes implemented for September 2013. The district has been struggling with balancing its budget for the past few years, given falling student enrollment and accompanying budget reductions imposed by Victoria and the Ministry of Education.

Van Osch says the school district has quite a few schools with low enrollment and the new long-term plan may or may not include some recommendations for school reconfiguration.

“Everything is more or less on the table, but I think there is some consensus on maintaining rural schools,” Van Osch says. While falling enrollment and corresponding financial constraints will be a component in developing the plan, Van Osch says financial difficulty is not the whole reason for developing it. He says other factors include the new B.C. Education Plan that includes strategies

for more personalized learning, new technology for distance learning, and programs that give students credit for work done outside of class time.

“The hard part about planning is that the ministry has initiatives of its own that change the course of what we do,” Van Osch says. “The plan has to be somewhat fluid to accommodate initiatives of the ministry.”

He says demographics and economic shifts such as new mines opening or sawmills closing also need to be considered in planning where schools should be placed.

“Long-term planning hasn’t been done in the district for a long time because of shifting demographics and ministerial initiatives,” he says.

He says the former board started work on a long-term plan and the new board is continuing that process. Over the next few weeks Van Osch says the board will work on developing a set of guiding principals for the proposed plan and by fall have a framework in place along with some options to offer for public discussion. As part of the planning process, he says the trustees are reviewing previous board initiatives such as the Our Kids Our Future report based on public consultation that took place in the lakecity four years ago. The Our Kids Our Future public consultation followed the board commissioning of the Trillium report of 2006 called Maximizing Resources for Student Achievement: A Strategic Facilities Plan for the Cariboo-Chilcotin School District. This report made sweeping recommendations for reconfiguring, closing and consolidating schools in the Williams Lake bowl area to address issues of falling enrollment.

Junior council members Talia Baptiste, Ivona Ognjanova, Abbi Taylor, Cody Haleyyork and Patrick Newsome hand out prizes at the end of the youth forum held Friday at TRU. The council will present a report on the two-day forum to council at a later date.

Williams Lake high schools ranked Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake secondary was ranked 264 out of 280 and Columneetza secondary was rated 269 out of 280, in the Fraser Institute’s latest rankings of secondary schools in B.C., released Monday.

Superintendent of schools for School District 27 Diane Wright said the Fraser Institute’s foundation skills assessment results do not tell the whole story about the high schools in Williams Lake.

“What I can tell you is we work with all of our schools and we review information about how students are doing both at the school level, and then I review that at the district level and that’s what’s referenced in the achievement con-

tract and the superintendent’s report,” Wright explained, adding those annual reports are accepted by the board and posted on the district’s website.

“Those are the reports that really tell us how our students are doing.”

In the last five years, Wright has seen a shift in the trend, particularly with elementary students.

There have been positive increases in the FSAs for reading and writing, notably among First Nations students.

At the secondary level, grade-to-grade transitions rates through grade 11 are also improving.

“It’s difficult because outside of Grade 12 English, Grade 12 exams are no longer required so we’re looking at Grade 10 results,” she said,

adding work still needs to be done to improve the graduation rates, but there is work that’s happening behind the scenes to address that issue.

Last week Wright and facilitator Dave MacLeod spent the day in 150 Mile House with secondary students from Alexis Creek, 100 Mile House, Peter Skene Ogden, Horsefly, Williams Lake and Columneetza schools, as well as G.R.O.W. and Skyline — two off-site alternate programs in Williams Lake.

“We asked what their best vision of the future of schools was,” she said, adding it’s student voices that are the piece of the story needed to make a shift in education.

“The students were fabulous. It was a di-

verse group, but the common voice was that there needs to be relevance in what they are learning and they need to be provided with real hands-on, outside-ofthe-classroom experiences,” Wright said, adding the students’ abilities to articulate their needs were really impressive.

MacLeod will be presenting a report to the school board at the end of May about the student session.

In addition, participating students have agreed to be part of an online focus group and will be further engaged by answering questions.

“We’re really intrigued to send out a question next year to students that have graduated, asking them what they can tell us now after being out of school for a bit. For ex-

ample, what would make a real difference?”

The Fraser Institute’s academic performance rated WLSS 3.5 out of 10 and CSS 2.8 out of 10. The information included with each rating showed in 2010-2011 there were 103 students enrolled in Grade 12 in WLSS, with 13.4 per cent speaking English as a Second Language, 8.7 per cent described as special needs, no French Immersion students, and parents’ average income of $58,3000.

At Columneetza secondary there were 160 students enrolled in Grade 12, with 5.4 per cent speaking English as a Second Language, 6.1 per cent described as special needs, 3.4 French Immersion students and parents’ average income of $60,900.

New tenants coming to Prosperity Ridge Bosley’s Pet Food Stores, Warehouse One, Subway Restaurants, and a Bell Mobility dealer will be new tenants at the Prosperity Ridge Shopping Centre, announced Platform Properties Ltd. today. Platform says the first phase of the centre, located at 1185 Prosperity Way, has been turned over to tenants to com-

mence their interior finishes.

About 85 per cent of the 10,400 square-foot building has been leased.

A building permit has been obtained for a second building of approximately 10,000 square feet. Construction will begin shortly with turnover to the tenants anticipated in the fall of this

year. Upon full build-out, the Prosperity Ridge Shopping Centre will offer up to 100,000 square feet of retail space, servicing Williams Lake and the broader area.

In conjunction with the adjacent Walmart Supercentre, this development will continue to attract new retailers to Williams Lake, allowing area resi-

dents to shop locally for more products and services, says a news release from Platform.

“This is something the community has been anticipating for some time,” said Mayor Kerry Cook.

“I’m pleased to see this development progress. I look forward to even more retail opportunities at the Prosperity Ridge

Shopping Centre.”

Platform is a real estate development company based in Vancouver, B.C. and has been active in retail development for more than 15 years. Experienced in commercial and residential development, Platform has delivered retail solutions to several communities throughout B.C.

building a stronger community Gaeil Farrar photo

Approximately 600 elementary and secondary students participated in activities at the Gibraltar Room April 26 and 27 as part of Victim’s Awareness/Anti Bullying Week.

The events were presented by School District 27 and the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society and other partners.

Information was provided on bullying and cyber bullying, and gang awareness. There were also games, collage building and snacks from different cultures provided. Here student Joseph Brinoni shakes the hand of presenter Adrian LaChance.

Local trustees support revision on FSA testing Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer School District 27 trustees have supported a motion by the BC School Trustees Association to work with the B.C. Teacher’s Federation on developing an alternative to the controversial Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests.

After considerable discussion during the BCSTA’s annual meeting in Vancouver last weekend, Chair William Van Osch says a resolution was drafted which supports an alternative form of testing that would stop the Fraser Institute from using the FSA information to rank schools.

“The FSA is a snapshot in time rather than a true evaluation of student performance,” Van Osch says.

“It isn’t an accurate way to evaluate schools, student performance or staff performance.”

Thursday, May 3, 2012 Williams Lake Tribune

While the FSAs are not without value when it comes to Ministry of Education and district planning, Van Osch says that too often the Fraser Institute’s use of the test results to rank schools has been used as a political or public relations tool to criticize the public education system.

“It would be more productive to get rid of it and replace it with something else,” Van Osch says.

In their current form FSA tests in reading, writing and numeracy are required to be delivered to students in Grades 4 and 7 each year.

The alternative to be worked out between the BCSTA and BCTF is to use a random sampling method of delivering the tests instead of the current blanket testing.

“This is a very much needed win for the BCTF and we are thrilled that the trustees of the province

have heard our concerns with the FSA,” says Joan Erb, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers Association president.

“A random sampling is what we have been encouraging the government to do so we are very pleased that the voice of teachers is being acknowledged.

Thank you, trustees!”

Van Osch says another negative aspect of the FSAs in their present form is that teachers end up teaching students how to do well on the tests at the expense of the overall curriculum.

He says so much negativity has also developed around the FSAs that a lot of students don’t take them seriously anymore and some parents won’t allow their students to take the tests.

If a student doesn’t take the test the mark for that student is zero which lowers the overall mark for that school.

He adds that just because some students don’t do well on exams doesn’t mean they don’t know the material.

In other news out of the BSTA annual meeting in Vancouver over the weekend, Van Osch says the School District 27 trustees were able to meet one on one with the minister of education.

While it wasn’t this district’s turn to meet with the minister he says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett arranged for a short meeting with the minister which turned into an hour-long session.

He says the local board had put together a comprehensive set of questions and issues to discuss with the minister which are still in camera.

“But I can say it was a productive meeting,” Van Osch says. “We want the minister to know we are appreciative.”

Lakecity groups receive gaming grants Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The latest round of gaming grants benefit organizations in Williams Lake to the tune of $135,000.

A press release issued by the gaming branch states the main recipients in the community gaming grant category are adult sport and arts organizations as well as human and social services

organizations. “With this latest round of grants, over 5,000 community groups across British Columbia have received a total of $135 million in funding.�

Local organizations receiving the grants include the Invasive Species Council of British Columbia ($50,000), Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District ($35,000), Station

House Gallery ($22,700), BC Rodeo Association ($20,000), Lions Club ($14,744), and Central Interior Regional Arts Council ($2,900). “Our funding has remained consistent over the last four years,� says local Boys and Girls Club executive director Monica Johnson. Typically they receive $28,000 for programming and $7,000 for supplemental, which

this year will be used to replace flooring at the centre.

The $35,000- grant represents about five per cent of the club’s overall budget, and helps with recreation and nutrition for children and youth services. “Anything helps,�

Johnson says.

For Station House Gallery’s manager Diane Toop the return of the

Chamber hears from Prince rupert

gaming funds indicates the gallery’s commitment to the community is being recognized. “We remain hopeful that some continuity in the funds will resume so organizations such as the Station House can maintain our programs and service to our communities without concerns about how we will meet next year’s budget needs,� Toop says.

’m off with council members and our CAO to the North Central Local Government Association Convention this week in100 Mile House, and I’m looking forward to debating resolutions and having discussions around beetle action coalitions, Interior Health, and other issues.

Will i ams From the Lake has Mayor’s a resoluChair tion to be debated Kerry Cook at the convention, calling on the provincial and federal governments to increase the amount of infrastructure funding available to local governments and to reduce the limitations that are placed on infrastructure funding programs.

Ministry of Community, Sport, and Culture Ida Chong will be in attendance on Friday. Platform Properties has announced the first four tenants, representing 85 per cent of its first building at Prosperity Ridge, and it’s something the community has been anticipating for a long time. The company has a building permit for a second 10,000 square foot building, and I’m glad to see more development on the hill.

I attended the memorial service for Rayel MacDonald at WLSS, and it was the biggest service I have ever been to. It’s amazing how a young individual has impacted so many people, and that was reflected in the huge show of community support.

I also attended the Day of Mourning ceremony, which was an important time of remembrance for those victims of the Burns Lake and Prince George mill fires, and a time to resolve to do even more, as employers and employees, to ensure safety in our workplaces.

Tuesday, I was a judge of antiracism posters drawn by students in grades 4 through 7, and I was impressed with the level of creativity and artistic ability. Mostly, though, I was impressed with the content of the messaging. It’s important to talk to our children early about multiculturalism and about racism. The winning poster had a message that was very simple but very powerful: We need to be the change we want to see!

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Liberals get a glimpse of future Barring major unforeseen events, the NDP will likely win the next election. That was made clear in last Thursday’s two byelections. The NDP won Port Moody-Coquitlam by a sizeable margin. They had a popular candidate in recently-retired Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini, and results were much as expected.

The real surprise and key result was in ChilliwackHope, where the NDP won a seat they have never held. Gwen O’Mahony took the seat in a three-way fight, with the BC Liberal vote melting away, and the resurgent BC Conservatives coming third with 25 per cent of the vote.

Liberal candidate Laurie Throness got 4,399 votes and 31 per cent of the vote. This compares with Barry Penner in the 2009 general election, who got 8,985 votes. So the Liberals, in the course of three years, lost more than half their support, with a large proportion of that going to the BC Conservatives, whose candidate John Martin got 3,548 votes.

There is another factor — the voter turnout. In the 2009 election, 16,865 votes were cast in ChilliwackHope. Last Thursday, despite the scrutiny this race has been under, and numerous visits by the premier and other party leaders, 14,013 people voted.

That means more than 2,800 stayed home — likely because they wouldn’t vote for the Liberals, and did not want to vote for anyone else. If the Liberals can convince most of those people to come back to them in the next election, the Liberals will win these kinds of seats. However, the vote splits in other ridings, putting the NDP in position to form the next government.

The Liberals won a number of seats in 2009 by narrow margins, with little or no Conservative opposition.

If the Liberals can convince enough disaffected voters to come back to them, they will keep some traditional strongholds. But unless their political fortunes improve drastically, in three-way election fights they will lose many of their seats. – Black Press

here’s an adage in business that you can’t manage what you don’t measure. Put another way, if you don’t have good data about something, then you won’t be able to successfully manage that particular aspect of your business.

The single largest public asset in British Columbia is our forests; the estimated economic value MLA of those Musings forests is Bob Simpson approximately one quarter of a trillion dollars. Despite the importance of our forests, it’s become increasingly clear that the provincial government’s data about our public forests is no longer accurate or trusted. For some time now, the Association of BC Forest Professionals has been calling on the government to increase investment in forest inventory while pointing out weaknesses in the current inventory system.

A November 2011 report from the Forest Practices Board concluded that they “do not have confidence that the forest ministry can adequately describe the current condition of the managed forest or track changes in its condition into the future.â€? This lack of confidence was echoed in a community consultation process conducted by the BC Government Employee’s Union, which concluded that “a central issue for ‌ participants was the lack of up-to-date forest inventory information.â€? Those same participants believed government was “irresponsibly risking one of our most valuable resources,â€? because good forest management decisions could not be made without accurate, up-to-date information about the state of our forests. An auditor general’s report released in February brought all of these concerns together in one scathing indictment of the government’s lack of knowledge about, and vision for, B.C.’s public forests.

Unfortunately, the minister responsible chose to dismiss the auditor general’s assessment. I brought all of these concerns to the minister responsible during budget estimates debates this past week. The minister said he was confident he had the information he needed to manage our public forests. Unfortunately, it seems few others share his confidence.

Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints

Thank you for reaching out Editor: Where can we begin? I have always known what an amazing place that we live at here in the Cariboo.

The people are good and big hearted, and generous souls. We have witnessed this many times over the years.

We, the family and friends of Rayel MacDonald, would dearly love to thank each and every one

of you, who put your own lives on hold, to reach out to us in our time of devastating loss.

The outpouring of love and kindness has brought a comfort to our broken hearts. We are never alone. We have you, the people from our beautiful communities of Big Lake and Williams Lake, by our sides.

Many times over the years our wonderful daughter Rayel made sure that if her friends had been

drinking that she would get them home safely. She was so responsible and caring.

We hope that you, whose lives have been touched by Rayel, remember her and honour her memory by not allowing your friends to drink and drive, and by not getting in a vehicle with someone who has been drinking behind the wheel.

Love, from the family.

Economic development helps us keep valuable services here Editor: Â A recent trip to Kamloops hospital so that my wife could have a procedure performed reminded me of how many government services we are losing from Williams Lake and the greater Cariboo-Chilcotin community.

School closures, Forest Service closures, and who knows what other things the government has quit or will quit providing services for. Requiring us to travel great distances for a procedure that at one time might have been performed here in Williams Lake is a definite reminder of how important it is to have a growing, rather than a declining, population in this centralized community.

The recent driver’s licence issue for senior drivers being required to travel to Prince George, Kamloops, or even Kelowna to take a driving exam reflects upon the lack of importance the gov-

www.wltribune.com A7

ernment is placing on this former centralized Cariboo community.

As this community loses population to the changing trend in the forest industry, the population will be increasingly required to travel further and further afield to obtain services that were once available locally.

For my wife and I, as senior citizens to travel to Kamloops, the cost for this travelling comes out of limited pension funding. Is this not indirect taxation?

For somebody living in, say, the West Chilcotin, the cost to travel to distant centres including overnight stays can and could be quite overwhelming.

It is hard to believe, but my son had to take his son to Vanderhoof to have his tonsils removed.

Many people have to travel great distances to have cancer treatment, heart surgery, and joint replacement; the procedure may be covered but transportation and

overnight or longer stays for concerned family members are not covered. Â The question we need to ask ourselves is, are we doing all we can to help Williams Lake regain its former premium and important role as a centralized community serving the greater Cariboo and Chilcotin? If we are not doing all that we can do, are we not at the same time indirectly increasing the personal tax burden and life stress on our aging population for them and their families being required to travel further and further afield for services and treatment?

We may not like speaking up for some forms of economic development in this greater area; however, without population growth we will continue to lose currently available services at an increasing personal cost.  Doug Wilson Williams Lake

Predators likely to blame for foal loss I Cattle

t’s branding time in the Cariboo and right now with the often, daily rain showers, it’s been difficult to schedule a dry branding day!

However, this past Friday the weather co-operated and we were able to get our first branding accomplished by noon.

Then, I hurried off down the road toward Dog Creek on one of my semi-annual photographic trips to record the Esk’etemc First Nation horse drive; this time it was

Fodder Liz Twan to view the trip home from winter range (Wycotte Flats).

Luckily for me, the timing was perfect, as I arrived at the spot where the horse herd comes up

from the river bench lands with about 20 minutes to spare, and very soon, the horse herd came thundering up the incline. After a brief rest for the herd, the horseback riders, and their mounts, the herd was bunched and turned, for the final run up the Alkali valley to the corrals at the home reserve corrals.

Each year, on the run home — as the distance accumulates, a natural separation occurs within the running herd and the chase-group, as the less fit horses (and perhaps,

riders) began to fall off the pace set by the leaders.

The gap widens until they lose contact with the main herd. Usually, the trail-group consists of mares with young foals, thinner older horses and riders mounted on horses not used to travelling such a distance at such a quick pace. The separation is natural, and those left behind just adjust and travel at their own speed.

What was worrisome and very noticeable this year was the lack of

2012 foals (three was all I counted) and quite a few less yearlings (2011 foals) than is the norm.

With the past winter being one of the easiest (mildest) in recent memory, the weather is an unlikely culprit. Instead it is thought that predators may have wrought havoc on the young stock these past months, meting out their own version of a culling program.

NEWS

From India to Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The distance between New Delhi and Williams Lake is vast, but for the Ministry of Environment’s new air quality meteorologist for the Cariboo Region, the extremes are probably felt a little more intensely.

Comparing his old home to his new home, Arvind Saraswat immediately talks about pollution.

“New Delhi has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the world and I think we are probably one of the places in the world with the lowest here,” he says of Williams Lake.

Saraswat was born in a “very small” city in India, although what qualifies as a small city in India is a population of 100,000 people, he admits.

When he graduated from high school, he moved to New Delhi to pursue an undergraduate degree in civil engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology.

After graduating from IIT he worked for two and half years at a World Health Organization collaborating centre called Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Program, where he was a project associate.

“I was doing traffic safety research there, but while doing traffic research I got interested in traffic emissions and that made me make the switch from transportation to environmental sciences.”

He has been working in Williams Lake since the beginning of January, while continuing to finish his PhD in resource management and environmental studies at the University of British Columbia, where he was enrolled as a full-time student since 2006.

A main focus of his job in the Cariboo is the air quality of communities in the region, specifically that of Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

“It involves air-shed planning and understanding how different sources are impacting air shed quality in those communities.”

He points out that in-

Arvind Saraswat

terior communities are unique when it comes to air quality because air becomes trapped in the bowl-shaped valleys that dot the topography, with what’s called inversions.

“The air quality in Quesnel would be quite distinct if there’s an inversion there compared to the air quality of Williams Lake if there is no inversion. These are meteorological conditions which lead to trapping of pollutants within an air shed or a region.”

Emissions inventories, completed for Quesnel and Williams Lake about five years ago, revealed that industrial sources, wood burning sources, road dust and traffic were all major contributors to air pollution. Railway engines were also identified as having some impacts, he explained.

“There’s no single source that’s responsible for all air pollution. It’s a combination of sources that leads to air pollution. And as I mentioned, we have a slightly unique situation in terms of meteorology and topography. The inversions lead to higher levels of pollution.”

The differences between the Fraser Valley and Cariboo regions are that the Fraser Valley has ozone concerns, whereas the Cariboo doesn’t. The main concerns here are dust (PM-10) and fine particulate matter(PM2.5).

Air quality is continually monitored by MOE at two different stations in Williams Lake — one is at Columneetza Secondary School, the other is at the Cariboo Regional District Library.

“The stations provide

minute by minute data 24/7. They are highly sophisticated instruments and quite expensive as well. We have access to data all the time so it’s real time data.”

At the Columneetza station, all parameters are being measured. At the CRD only PM-10 and PM-2.5 are being monitored.

An additional noncontinuous station at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club provides data through a filter-based method. As a result it takes time to retrieve the data and there’s a time lag between monitoring and the time when MOE gets the results.

Public access to this information can be obtained at http://envistaweb.env.gov.bc.ca/.

Referring to an air quality roundtable and an air shed management plan already in place in Williams Lake, Saraswat says work started around 1999 to put plans together that would serve as models for different communities.

“We are now at a stage for a review to take place to understand how much progress has been made since the plans were put

in place.”

Saraswat notes there are different ways to understand air quality — through annual averages and 24-hour averages. Generally annual averages would indicate statistics that are useful for understanding the long-term picture.

While annual averages are below objectives, the concern is managing time periods when inversions cause poor dispersion conditions that lead to high levels of PM-2.5 and dust.

“In general I would say air quality is good.

We just have to be vigilant that we manage our emissions well. We try to follow some simple things like not idling, trying to use clean sources of heat like electricity if possible,” he says, adding if that’s not possible and wood is the only heat source, then to use well-cured wood and high efficiency certified wood stoves.

He also nudges citizens to consider cutting down on their driving and walk more if possible.

“We need to be cognizant of the fact that human activities lead to higher pollution. I

would encourage everyone to visit the BC Air Quality website. It has a number of ways listed there which people can make a difference by doing small things.” (http://www.bcairquality.ca/101/individualair-quality.html) Pleasantly surprised with Williams Lake, Saraswat says he’s making friends, has tried ice fishing and hopes to go hunting in the future.

“I can buy Indian spices and foods in the stores,” he adds with a smile.

There are generally early pre-payment penalties for paying your mortgage loan out prior to renewal, but these are generally offset by the extra money you acquire through a refinance.

Refinancing your mortgage could also enable you to make investments, go on vacation, do some renovations or even invest in your children’s education.

Keep in mind, however, that by refinancing you may extend the time it will take to pay off your mortgage. That said, there are many ways to pay down your mortgage sooner.

Most mortgage products include prepayment privileges that enable you to pay an extra 20% of the principal per calendar year. This will also help reduce your amortization period which in turn saves you money.

In the current credit-crunched lending environment it’s more important than ever to contact a mortgage professional to find out your options!

Lake City Derby Girls take win Healy said the atmosphere in the building was electric, and exhibited an adrenaline rush none who participated will soon forget.

“You were at the edge of your seats,” Healy said. “Everybody was just crazy.

It was hard hitting. It was, wow. It was awesome. The girls played well on both teams, very well.”

Two years ago the Lake City Derby Girls held their first home match in rink two at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Healy said shifting into the bigger rink one was a welcome move for the team’s second bout.

“It was much better,” she said. “I was talking to some other people who were there and they were saying the stands were much easier to sit in and move around in, too.”

The bout itself took its toll on the team, Healy said, and noted several of the players

It’s like no other sport I’ve ever seen and it’s very cool.”

- Toni Healy are “still a little bit tender.”

The Lake City Derby Girls also borrowed a few players from Prince George, Edmonton and Kamloops to help make up the 14player roster.

“We have amazing camaraderie,” Healy said.

“All the derby teams do. We’re bashing each other on the track and then after the game we’re best buds. It’s awesome.

“That’s one of the reasons we like this sport is the sportsmanship. It’s like no other sport I’ve every seen and it’s very cool.”

With the team’s first

win now in the books Healy said she hopes more girls will come out and give the sport a try. She said the Lake City Derby Girls welcome anyone, any age over 18, to join the team — regardless of skill or experience.

“For anyone who wants a change of pace, it’s awesome,” she said.

“I’m turning 47 in a few days so there’s no excuses. Don’t let age and ‘Oh, I can’t skate’ stop you.”

The team tries to hold regular practices twice a week, on top of dry land and training on their own personal time. Starting in September the team

rents both the Nesika elementary and Marie Sharpe elementary gymnasiums to practice in.

“You’ve got to be in good shape for this type of sport,” Healy said. “It’s like hockey.

You’re non-stop bashing. Quesnel’s team is a year and a bit old, and they’ve got a full roster. Kamloops is a about a year and a half old, too, and they’ve got three teams now so we’re hoping to get some more.”

Coming up for the Lake City Derby Girls, hopefully, Healy said, is a trip to Billy Barker Days in Quesnel to help out the Quesnel Gold Pain City Derby Girls for their upcoming bout. Incidentally, Quesnel is Healy’s hometown.

“I wasn’t able to play in this match [in Williams Lake] because of an injury but I’m hoping I get to play in my hometown and kick some butt.”

U12 boys strike silver in Quesnel It was a great weekend for youth soccer in the Cariboo late April.

At the Quesnel Indoor Soccer Tournament, the Williams Lake under 12 boys team came home with silver medals around their necks.

“Our boys played so well as a unit, and it was exciting as both a coach and a parent to see the teamwork and skill that they displayed,” said coach Katie Dyck.

The U12 portion of the tournament included two teams from each Williams Lake and Prince George, and one team from

Quesnel.

The team said it enjoyed the opportunity to play on Quesnel’s indoor fields so early in the season as a precursor to the outdoor season.

“Quesnel has a beautiful indoor facility, and you can really see how they have developed their kids since getting it,” Dyck said.

“Williams Lake would put out some truly first-class athletes with access to such an asset. But, until we get our own, I welcome the invitation to play in Quesnel’s tournaments. Good work boys!”

The Williams Lake under 12 boys soccer team came home with a silver medal from the Quesnel Indoor Soccer Tournament held late April.

Judo club brings home medals The Williams Lake Judo Club competed at the Prince George Open Judo Tournament on April 21 at the Civic Centre.

The local club sent nine competitors, its highest turnout for a tournament yet.

The team’s youngest athlete was Brody Wilson, 6.

“As a white belt (beginner) he was not allowed to fight (Judo Canada rules), so there was a demonstration division with other white belts, and no winners or losers,” said Williams Lake Judo Club Sensei Jeff DiMarco.

The other juniors who competed were: • Jaeden Wilson —

bronze.

• Georgia DiMarco — silver.

• Linden Hay — fourth.

• Drake Henderson — bronze.

• David Russell — gold.

Furthermore, older junior men and seniors competed from the local club. The results

are: • Rudy Klaue, Dean Demers, Jeff DiMarco — bronze.

Wilson, Hay, Henderson and Russell were all first-time competitors, DiMarco said, adding they faired very well.

“Overall it was a good day, a good experience and everyone fought

Tim Hortons Bike Rodeo to teach safety Bicycle safety will be the theme for the Tim Hortons Bicycle Rodeo coming up Sunday, May 13.

The event is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Canadian Tire parking lot. All children who can ride tricycles or bicycles are encouraged to attend.

Participants are asked to bring their bicycle and helmet along, and must register for this free program by calling the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-398-7665.

This year the Tim Hortons Bicycle Rodeo is teaming up with the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society who in partnership with Red Shred’s are offer-

ing gently used bicycles for anyone who doesn’t own a bike. Anyone needing a used bicycle can call the Conservation Society at 250-3987929 and ask for Carla Glessing.

The Bike Rodeo promotes safe bicycle riding habits, which will reduce accidents involving children. The event is free and offers many interaction activities for children.

“Bicycle safety is very important,” says safer communities coordinator Dave Dickson. “It is the time of the year when our children are out on the street with their bicycles and if we can teach them safety through this rodeo then everyone wins.”

A course with a se-

ries of seven safety stations will give children the opportunity to learn correct riding skills. A thorough safety inspection of the bicycle is the first stop on the course.

Professionals will also check the child’s bike helmet to make sure it fits well and is being worm properly.

“Children suffer injuries doing wheeled activities because of a combination of factors that most commonly include inexperience, loss of control, lack of traffic safety skills, high speed and the tendency to attempt stunts,” says the Safe Kids Canada website.

The remaining bike safety stations will focus on riding techniques and skills. Children will

be asked to ride through courses of figure eights, circles and parallel lines. The emphasis for children at this event is to learn how to control

their bicycle.

Sponsors of this event are: Success by Six — United Way, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, Brian Injury Society,

Community Policing, Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, Boys and Girls Club, Youth for Christ and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation

Complex.

Columneetza students encounter greater Canada Sharon Smith Special to The Tribune During this school year more than 20 students from Columneetza Secondary School had the privilege of attending Encounters with Canada, an amazing program that brings high school students together for a week of incredible adventures in the capital city of Canada, Ottawa.

It is a life-changing experience for all the students who are fortunate enough to take part in this program.

The objective of Encounters is to bring young Canadians from different backgrounds and regions together in order to give them an opportunity to learn about one another, to discover their country through each other, and to gain a better understanding of our incredibly diverse country. The program begins in September and runs until May and about 120 students attend each week.

Students stay at the Terry Fox Centre in dorms and visit the Parliament Buildings. They tour the many sights in Ottawa as well as doing activities that relate to the theme of the week they attend.

The students fly to Ottawa, often on their own, learning to navigate the airports and becoming more independent.

One of the most amazing aspects of Encounters is that typical cliques and groups that occur in a high school are not present and students are accepted by others unconditionally. Everyone is equal!

Brett LaBossiere went to International Affairs and one of his highlights was touring the Canadian War Museum. He travelled alone to Ottawa and made many friends once he arrived in Ottawa.

Sunney Engstrom attended the Arts and Culture week and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Encounters forces you to step out of your comfort zone and

Active History video contest sponsored by the B.C. First Nations Health Council.

He plans on entering the contest again with another unrelated video.

Get Up, Move Up is about a young man who is glued to his couch and Xbox, but then he has a very â&#x20AC;&#x153;awakeningâ&#x20AC;? experience.

He realizes there is an actual world out there, with the potential for anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So he does one thing. He simply gets up,â&#x20AC;? Mack says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He then experiences the world around him and realizes he can do something, and he feels a sense of

belonging.â&#x20AC;? In his new film which he is writing and directing called The Blanketing, Mack intends to feature Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in people speaking in their own language and showcasing the beautiful tradition of buckskin outfits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a proud Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in (Chilcotin) First Nation,â&#x20AC;? Mack says.

Mack took an interest in film at an early age and at 19 he already has nine years experience working with motion graphics, editing, videography and photography.

community engagement Students learn in nation’s capital Continued From Page A20 Ryan Jensen went to Arts and Culture week and says, “Encounters was important because it brought together a diverse group of students that learned to live like a family by the end of the week.”

Conlan Sprickerhoff attended the Sports and Fitness week in September. Highlights for him include late night conversations in the dorm and going

rock climbing.

He feels that, “Encounters with Canada is important to bring together the country and to show different cultures throughout.”

Ivona Ognjanova went to Sports and Fitness week and enjoyed rock climbing and swimming.

“It lets you learn about all the different provinces and cultures in Canada. It’s truly a trip of a lifetime!”

Tracey Beauchamp attended Medicine and

Health week during spring break.

She enjoyed doing labs and rock climbing as well as making new friends with students from all areas of Canada.

She thought, “It helps your social skills and gives you a chance to appreciate where you’re from.”

This is an amazing program for our youth and I hope that we can send even more students in the upcoming school year.

Last fall Mack was among 120 of 500 applicants selected to participate in the Motion Picture Arts Program at Capilano University where he plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree.

He is also part of a freelance video editing and motion graphics group named Viral Design that produces videos for some of the world’s biggest gaming equipment companies.

While in Vancouver he also tried out for and made the Red Bull Crashed Ice racing team two years in a row.

Crashed Ice is an extreme sport in which skaters dressed in protective hockey gear race each other on a downhill ice course reaching 60 to 75 kilometres per hour.

Mack says he was overwhelmed to see 100,000 people turn out for the race. “My first thought was to not fall,” Mack says on his television interview about the sport that he did with fellow racer Robert Vos. Mack says the film he is working to make this summer at Anaham is very close to his heart.

He will employ local people and elders as some of the actors, and have them speak in their own Chilcotin language, a language that is slowly dying.

The story is set in the 1800s and involves a

confrontation between a group of gold miners and the First Nations people, a confrontation that will change the course of their lives forever, says Mack, who doesn’t want to give away too much of the story line.

He says Anaham has experienced some difficult times over the years having experienced high alcohol use, high crime rates and gang problems.

“I really hope you can help me help a whole nation become proud of itself again,” Mack says.

“I am asking if you could help support my short film that I am extremely passionate about, whether it be financially or simply word of mouth.

“I grew up on the Anaham reserve and I really want to make the Chlicotin people have something to be proud of. Especially the youth,” he continues. “I have an entire crew already selected and ready to go as soon as it is summer, and

by July I hope to have 100 per cent of the funds for the film ready. Also, I plan to be very transparent to where your money has gone, so at any time you can e-mail me asking for a document and I will show you every single purchase with the donated money.”

Mack is currently also looking for a lead actor to play the main gold miner who would be between the ages of 40 and 55.

Mack says he also has a professional music

Cariboo Festival wraps up with Honours Concert Saturday Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer

Grade 3 student Marija Mederal (left) won the prose award in her category with her story Stars the Terrified and Daniel Sellars won the award for poetry.

The Cariboo Festival 2012 Honours Concert this Saturday evening wraps up a month-long celebration of performing and literary arts in the lakecity.

The Honours Concert featuring performances by outstanding musicians, singers, choirs, speakers, musical theatre entertainers and more takes place at Cariboo Bethel Church starting at 7 p.m.

During the evening awards will be present-

ed to various winners and at the end of the evening organizers will announce this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delegates to the provincial festival taking place May 27 to 31 in Nanaimo. The national festival takes place Aug. 16 to 18 in Fort McMurray, Alberta.

The goal of the Cariboo Festival Society is to encourage the development of the arts within Williams Lake and the surrounding area, say festival organizers who are all volunteers.

The mission of the festival experience is to

travel with others along the path to artistic excellence. Through a monthlong spring festival, the Cariboo Festival promotes educational and artistic growth in music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; voice, piano and a variety of instruments; and in speech arts and creative writing.

The festival annually serves hundreds of participants from schools and the community through individual classes, championship playoffs, and the Spotlight and Honours concerts. Participants receive instruction by

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winter Wonderland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Laine Grace Special to The Tribune I looked out my window. I only saw white?

I jumped out of bed and shouted, Mom, Dad, Darien, the first snow; it finally happened. Now we can build our rink?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great,â&#x20AC;? my mom groaned.

Darien yelled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yippee! Laine, go get your coat on, we can start to build up edges.â&#x20AC;?

My brother and I went outside and started packing up snow to be the edges.

Hatrick, our Old English Sheepdog was just as excited with the snow as we were.

We finished the edges, and went inside for nice, warm hot chocolate covered in whipping cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aaahhh, delicious,â&#x20AC;?

I sighed with content, my mouth covered in a whipping cream mustache.

For the rest of our day we went cross-country skiing in our winter wonderland.

The next morning I woke up to the temperature being plus-five C.

Laine Grace won the prose award in her entry class with this story Winter Wonderland.

I looked outside.

The edges we had built were gone, the snow one big puddle. I slowly got out of bed, deeply depressed and disappointed. I thought bitterly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There goes our winter wonderland.â&#x20AC;?

It snowed a little bit more today, and I decided to walk the dog. I grabbed Hatrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leash and collar. As I was doing so I heard a quiet melody.

It was gone almost immediately after I heard it. I thought nothing of it. I walked Hatrick, but when I got back I heard the melody again. This time, however, it was a different

type of melody, more rock and roll. This time I was intrigued. I looked everywhere, trying to find out where it could have come from, when it hit me.

Of course! It was coming from the gnome home, a little door on the entrance of the tree.

My parents had put it there just for decoration or a mere chuckle every now and then.

I knew there was no such thing as gnomes, but then what was in the tiny door? I had tried to turn the small knob before, just in case, but it had never opened.

I tried again.

This time the door swung open. Inside was a whole new world, a people sized world, nevertheless.

There were people everywhere. A lake was covered in people having a scrimmage, a lodge full of people coming in and out with hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast by the fire, which momentarily was being swarmed by even more people.

I asked the nearest person: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where am I? What is this place?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in Winter Wonderland, open only in winter to people that love winter!â&#x20AC;? he answered.

I shouted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Awesome!â&#x20AC;?

I ran down to the rink, laced up my skates and began to play hockey.

It was wonderful!

It was an open lake with a big part of it shovelled off.

As it started to get dark, lights strung across over the lake lit up. The sight was astounding!

Not much later the zamboni drove out to flood the surface! The driver even let me drive

the zamboni!

I finished skating, and then went to the fire to roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate.

I soon decided that since it was past sundown, I had better get home.

When I got home, no time had passed.

It was crazy. Our family decided to go crosscountry skiing because the snow at Bull Mountain was still great.

As we were skiing, I decided that hockey in the gnome home was quite exhilarating, but my real winter wonderland was with my family.

Games, games and more games!

A game is awesome Many hours of curiosity Everyone can play Some are really, really good.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pac Man â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Daniel Sellars Special to The Tribune Play my game!

It is fun and hard.

I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waga Waga!â&#x20AC;?

I like berries and dots.

I run from ghosts that are aqua, red, pink and yellow.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: this little poem was originally written in the form of Pac-man.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stars the Terrified â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marjia Mederal Special to The Tribune Once upon a time there lived a bunny named Stars.

Stars was not an ordinary bunny!

He was gray with orange polk-a-dots.

His most favourite treat was honey-glazed carrots.

Stars wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dare to enter the spooky forest in Happy Valley with his big family.

He was very brave but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act like it.

Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he want to go inside the spooky forest?

Because he was scared to enter it.

Even though he was brave he was terrified of the wolves.

There were a lot of wolves in the forest.

The wolves loved to chase Stars around.

Even the bears loved to chase him around.

This kept happening for two years.

Then one day the spooky forest changed to be a nice forest.

It changed because it was magical.

Stars was so relieved that most of the wild animals stopped chasing him forever.

But there was one creature that never stopped chasing him even though the forest had changed.

That creature was the guacamole!

It was hairy and it had razor sharp teeth and gigantic feet.

It was very evil and the magic didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work on it.

As a result, Stars ran away forever.Â

“They call the Cariboo home” Helen Sandy, a seasoned fisherwoman Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer If she’s able to spend time at a Farwell Canyon fish camp, Helen Sandy says her summer feels complete.

Since 1996, the Secwepemc woman from the Sugar Cane Reserve has been going there pretty steadily.

“Every now and then I miss out.

The year before last I did because I had no transportation out there and no fishermen so I just stayed in town,” Sandy says.

Sandy first learned how to prepare and smoke salmon from Velva Tenale, who has had a fish camp at Farwell Canyon for years, and urged Sandy to learn.

Four years ago Sandy set up her own camp, and has her own process down to a science.

Holding out her arm, she demonstrates how she takes the fish, cuts the head off and breaks the back bone.

She then grabs the fish by the tail, shakes it, and the weight of the head pulls the innards out.

From there she cuts up to the belly and takes the blood line out and removes all the fins.

“Normally out there we’ll have a pot of soup on and what goes into that soup are the fish heads, the salmon eggs, and the fins.

People eat it. I haven’t tried it yet.

They say the eyes are the best.”

Then she cuts strips off the belly along the side that are about an inch and a half wide, opens them up, salts and peppers them, and places them in a roasting pan or a bowl.

Once the fins and belly have been removed, she cuts from the neck down as close to the bones as she can all the way down the tail. She then flips it over and all the way down the back.

“By the tail you cut on either side of the tail and break that bone out,” she says, adding experience has taught her how to fully utilize as much of the salmon as she can.

When she arrives at Farwell Canyon, Sandy makes a tent for herself with sticks and tarps, and prepares a fire for the smoking.

“I clear off the ground on the dry grass, go down to the beach and get sand and gravel and scatter it on the ground. Then I dig a fire pit a couple of feet deep, then I put rocks around, about a foot

“I came home with about 150 dried fish and I sent in 40 for the freezer and another 20 fresh fish to can last time.”

One night she was in camp alone, and there were black bears and cougars coming around.

“Thank God I had a gun,” she says.

It is normally very hot when

Thin pieces of salmon, hung in strips, are ready to be smoked.

she’s at the camp, and because she cuts her salmon strips so thin, they dry in about three days.

“I have a steel knife that’s quite wide and a stone that I use to sharpen it. When you’re cutting salmon you have to sharpen it between the third and fifth salmon because it goes through scales and bones. I use a really sturdy heavy butcher knife to take off the head and fins. When I cut the belly I use a filleting knife.”

Peppering the salmon is a personal choice, she explains.

“I like the taste.”

When it comes to fuel, she uses choke cherry, maple, apple and cotton wood. First thing each morning she builds the smoke fire and leaves it to smoke all day long until it naturally dies down in the evening.

Aside from preparing and smoking the fish, Sandy also picks choke cherries and dries them.

The cherries start to ripen in early August, along with crab apple trees near the old log houses at the former ranch site at Farwell Canyon.

“There are choke cherries all over. There are some choke cherries across the creek that look like glazed cherries and the ones that are dark brown in colour,” she

says.

Growing up at Sugar Cane, Sandy recalls as a small girl she was not allowed to go to Farwell Canyon because it was too dangerous.

Her mother, Anastasia Sandy, didn’t teach her children how to cut salmon.

The men on the reserve would take the boys and teenagers to the river to fish at night time.

Meanwhile, her mom had four galvanized tubs sitting in the backyard, waiting for their return when they’d dump sacks of fish in the water and cover the tubs with boards. Her mom would rise at 5 a.m. the next morning to gut and clean as many fish as she could, waking Sandy and her siblings at 7 a.m. to help.

Anastasia cut the fish in an “open book” style, where she chopped the heads off, cut up the belly line, and then went in close to the spine, breaking the bones and cutting it to the skin on both sides of the backbone.

“The backbone would stay on there, the belly bones would stay on there, and she’d cut by the spine and cut across along the skin and flip it open,” she says, opening both of her hands.

Sandy says the fish they ate in those days came from the Fraser River, not the Chilcotin River.

“I think the fish from the Chilcotin River are firm and less beat up. The salmon do go through the Fraser before they get to the Chilcotin River, so it’s the same fish, but the fact of the matter is when you catch them at Sheep Creek Bridge where our fishing grounds are, those salmon taste too mushy. They are harder to cut up.”

When she’s not preparing fish, or gathering hundreds of chokecherries from nearby bushes at the site, Sandy loves to take photographs.

Hundreds of her photos document the fish camp, the fishermen, the surroundings, and the visitors to her camp.

Dear Reader, Thank you for choosing The Tribune as your trusted source of in-depth local news and information.

We are proud to bring you up-to-date coverage of news, sports and entertainment 24 hours a day, and have invested in our newsroom to be able to deliver the news in different ways.

Those investments ensure we can provide the information you need to be informed and to make decisions every day, and to deliver it in ways you want it, when you want it. Whether you are looking for the latest developments from City Hall, the score of a high school game, ideas for what to do this weekend, or places to shop, we know thousands of you rely on us each week.

Beginning in May, we will introduce charges for digital subscriptions for those who do not subscribe to our print edition. In doing so, we join a growing number of newspaper companies across the country that have taken this step.

As with other papers that have begun charging for premium content online, we view this as an investment in the future so we can continue our mandate to offer a credible report of news, information and opinion.

No organization can match The Tribuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breadth and depth of local news, and revenue derived from digital subscriptions will contribute to the ongoing investment in that mandate.
