Assault trial underway in Williams Lake court The week-long trial began Monday, Jan. 21 in Williams Lake provincial court for the assault case involving RCMP Const. Andy Yung, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault, following a Sept. 10, 2011 incident when then 17-year-old Jamie Haller was alleged to have sustained injuries while in the custody of the Williams Lake RCMP. Charges were recommended on Mar. 7, 2012 after the Abbotsford Police Department had concluded an independent investigation of the totality of the circumstances.

Judge Randall William Callan, Provincial Court of B.C. Prince George, is overseeing the trial.

Highway reopened north of Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A transport truck carrying a hazardous additive used in mining blasting applications rolled over Thursday evening around 6 p.m.

14 kilometres north of Williams Lake.

The accident occurred on Highway 97 near Wildwood, in between West Coast and Hickory Roads. The driver and lone occupant of the truck was airlifted to Vancouver with serious head injuries.

The driver was en route to Mission, said Sgt. Bob Verbree, regional commander, RCMP Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services.

Bruce Collinge, president of RBS Bulk Systems from Calgary said the product is called Centra.

“It is not actually ammonium nitrate, but it is classified as a hazardous material.”

RBS Bulk has a contract to

transport the product from the Orica manufacturing site located at Gibraltar Mines.

“Apparently right after the incident there was a small amount of seepage from a rear hatch — the hatch was tightened and the seepage stopped,” College said, adding it is estimated that perhaps 200 kilograms of the hazardous material — which looks like a viscous liquid — seeped out.

Local Wildwood residents were put on evacuation alert Thursday evening, and a detour was set up to reroute traffic around the scene.

At noon Friday, the Cariboo Regional District issued an emergency services evacuation order as a preventative measure while a hazmat team removed the hazardous material from the scene.

Williams Lake RCMP Insp.

Warren Brown said in excess of 50 homes were evacuated within a 400 metre perimeter of the accident scene by RCMP and local

Search and Rescue personnel.

A hazmat team then began removing the hazardous material from the truck’s damaged container into a specialized transfer truck.

Ted and Iris Worsley live on West Coast Road, two houses down from Highway 97, and were out collecting their mail Friday morning before the evacuation order.

They knew they were on evacuation alert, but Iris said she wasn’t worried for her own safety.

She’d packed an evacuation bag Thursday night and unpacked it Friday morning.

“We were surprised the accident occurred on a straight stretch of the highway though,” she said, adding there was a spill of lumber on the same stretch of the road last year.

“The Wildwood volunteer fire department is excellent,” Iris added. “They are always there immediately, which I think is phenom-

enal.”

Wildwood Elementary School remained closed for the day and traffic was detoured away from the cleanup for several hours into the night.

Emergency Services set up a reception centre at the Salvation Army Community Services building on Borland Street in Williams Lake for evacuees that remained open until the evacuation order was lifted at around 10 p.m. Friday night.

“Forty folks registered at the reception centre,” said safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson. “Huge thanks to the Williams Lake Salvation Army — captains Randy and Claudine Kadonaga and their team for their hospitality and kindness for opening their facilities.”

The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the RCMP’s Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services.

Closing Wildwood elementary debated at length Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer One of the tougher issues school trustees will address at their Initial Options Report decision meeting tonight is whether to go ahead with the proposal to close Wildwood elementary school.

The Initial Options Report proposes to close Wildwood Elementary School and consolidate its student population with Cataline Elementary School in September.

The school is currently operating as a Kindergarten to Grade 3 school.

The complexity of the Wildwood situation came to light during open discussion by trustees at a special board meeting Thursday, Jan. 17 to continue discussions on the Initial Options Report started at the special open board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15.

At both meetings trustees discussed the report options in light of input from the public consultation process and new reports from staff on items such as updated enrolment figures.

In efforts to meet Ministry of Education budget constraints the Initial Options Report proposes closing and consolidating Wildwood, Kwaleen and Glendale elementary schools with other schools in Williams Lake and making the remaining elementary schools in Williams Lake Kindergarten to Grade 6 schools.

Grade 7s would be elevated to a new one school/two cam-

pus secondary school comprised of Williams Lake and Columneetza secondary schools.

Low enrolment and resulting financial inefficiency were reasons for choosing Wildwood, Kwaleen and Glendale for closure.

During discussion on the Wildwood closure School District 27 Secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller said the student population at the school is projected to rise and that it would take 10 more students returning to Wildwood next year for operating costs to break even.

According to Roller’s enrolment report Wildwood (Kindergarten to Grade 3) had 25 students in 2012 and currently has 31 students. Enrolment is projected to rise to 34 students by 2022.

School District 27 Trustee Joyce Cooper said many of the families living in the Wildwood catchment area chose to send their children to schools in Williams Lake over the years because of the ongoing uncertainty about whether the school would be closed.

She said she felt that if there was some certainty the school would stay open parents living in the catchment area would send their children to the school.

Until visiting Wildwood school, Cooper said she didn’t realize the great extent to which programs at the school support First Nations students.

She said one of the goals of the district is to improve graduation

rates for First Nations students so it didn’t make sense to close a school that is providing a solid foundation for First Nations students that is also meeting cultural needs.

Trustee Doug Neufeld noted that since Wildwood had been included in the Initial Options Report, the same criteria should be applied for closing Wildwood as for closing Glendale and Kwaleen elementary schools.

He said he traveled Highway 97 to Prince George a lot this past year and it only took nine minutes to travel from the Wildwood store to Williams Lake, which wouldn’t add a great deal of time to the commute for the Wildwood students if they were bused to Cataline.

Trustee Sheila Boehm noted that the Wildwood situation is different from the situation at Kwaleen and Glendale elementary schools. She said students come from as far north as McLeese Lake to attend Wildwood school.

Trustee Tanya Guenther noted Wildwood is also the district’s northern most elementary school.

Boehm and other trustees also expressed concerned about the lack of First Nations participation in the consultation process.

Cooper said it was her feeling that many of the First Nations people living in the catchment area hadn’t participated because they have been working to keep the school open for many years,

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN) School of Choice 2013-14 The Board of Education will be making their decision on the Initial Options Report regarding school configuration and school closures on January 22, 2013.

If there are school closures, catchment areas will have to be revised.

Therefore School of Choice applications will be accepted at schools and the District Office beginning on January 29, 2013. Applications will be date and time stamped when received at schools or the District Office.

Applications are available at schools, the School District Office, or on the website at www.sd27.bc.ca Secondary School of Choice application deadline is February 22, 2013 Elementary School of Choice application deadline is March 15, 2013

and believed the decision to close the school had already been made and their input wouldn’t make a difference.

According to Roller’s updated enrolment and financial report closing Wildwood and sending the students to Cataline elementary would save the district $256,881 in salaries and benefits.

Continuing savings after year two would be $139,232 per year.

She said the impact of losing the small communities grant currently received for Wildwood would be low because the district continues next year under Ministry of Education funding protection.

While not supporting the idea one way or

the other, Trustee Jackie Austin noted that if Wildwood remained open then the Glendale balanced calendar program could fit into Cataline elementary annex without the use of portable classrooms.

The longest bus commute for one small group of students in the Wildwood catchment area is currently about 90 minutes but in an updated busing report Roller said the addition of a third bus run would reduce the longest commutes by 20 to 30 minutes.

There was also some discussion on an alternative option of keeping one or two Kindergarten classes operating at Wildwood elementary, rather than closing the school completely.

NEWS Fringe fire protection debate draws a large crowd Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Fringe area residents filled the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake Thursday to hear about fire protection services at a meeting hosted by the Cariboo Regional District.

It was the first public meeting held for affected residents since the CRD obtained a court injunction on Dec. 21, 2012 that required the City of Williams Lake to provide fire protection services to fringe area residents until April 30, 2013, at the Nov. 24, 2012 referendum rate of approximately $129 per $100,000.

Similar to the public meeting held in September, CRD staff had prepared a power point presentation that outlined costs, including comparisons to Quesnel and rural fire departments in the region.

“Going into this, the tax rate you were paying in the rural fringe areas was about $190 on $100,000 of assessment. That was the average of the last two years because it fluctuates,” CRD chief administrative officer Janis Bell said. “The residents of the city at the time were paying $63 on $100,000 of assessment.”

The agreement the CRD negotiated with the city would have seen the rural rate move closer to

the city rate, Bell said.

“The rural rate would have decreased to approximately $129 per $100,000 and the city rate would have increased to $72 per $100,000.”

The original agreement was also for a five-year term, with an option to renew for another five-year term, however the city came back on Dec. 12 and notified the CRD by letter that it wanted to agree to a one-year term and enter into discussions for fire protection services.

Someone asked if the CRD ever received the rates in writing from the city, and Bell said “no,” adding the reason is the rates fluctuate every year.

“Rates are not what we agreed to because depending on their budget and assessed values every year they’re going to change. What was agreed to was to use assessment as the formula, that’s what was agreed to and yes we do have that in writing.”

Some residents that spoke at the meeting wanted the CRD to hold the city to the agreement.

Others wondered if a mediator would be better than going to court.

The word “greedy” was used to describe the city, while someone suggested the city needs the fringe residents more than the fringe residents need the city and did city taxpayers realize they would have

to pay more if the fringe residents were taken out of the equation?

A chart in the presentation showed in 2012 the fringe residents paid more than $600,000 in tax requisition amounts for fringe fire protection.

The total expenditures for the Williams Lake fire department were $2,003,030 for 2012. Debt servicing for the new fire hall was $512,000.

Several people thought city representatives should have been at the meeting to answer questions and advised the CRD to make a similar presentation at a city council meeting in the near future.

Others said the CRD should pursue building another fire hall and wondered where it would be located.

Bell said the CRD’s “fall back solution if they aren’t successful in court” would be to attempt to build a centrally located fire hall.

“We do have to remain within the distances prescribed by insurance,” Bell said.

150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department Chief Stan McCarthy said he didn’t know if anyone had thought about extending the existing services out of Wildwood and 150 Mile, or even putting in a satellite hall for the time being to cover Fox Moun-

Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond hands the microphone to a rural resident during the fire protection service information meeting hosted by the CRD Jan. 17. tain and White Road.

“I know volunteer fire departments work their tails off to provide the services to the community and it’s a lot of work to get volunteers,” McCarthy said. “We work well with Williams Lake and have mutual agreements with Wildwood, Miocene and everybody. The fire departments work well together.”

Chair Al Richmond said while he knows that some people are angry

at city council, that the council is split.

“You don’t have everyone on council opposed to you, it’s not a rural versus urban issue,” he said.

“We’re all neighbours and friends and we need to deal with that. I think we firmly have a contract, and we need to remind the city of that, but we need to be respectful.”

Bell confirmed the CRD filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 15 to continue with legal action

against the City.

To date the CRD has spent $9,000 on the referendum and $15,000 to obtain the court injunction, costs Bell said rural taxpayers will pay for.

Everyone pays the same rates to use the Cariboo Memorial Complex and the hospital, those are examples of good partnerships, he added.

“We need to rebuild the relationship, but we need some firm direction from you about what you want

us to do.”

Fringe area residents have until Jan. 28 to complete a fire protection survey. A meeting will be held Feb. 12 to share the survey results and any other feedback.

The Tribune asked the city for comments several times leading up to and after the CRD meeting, but so far has received no reply, only the press release issued by the city on Jan. 17, that ran in the Weekender Jan. 18.

Duncan Barnett elected NDP candidate for Cariboo North Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo North NDP’s newest candidate said he has to change gears, put aside some of his ranching activities, and start meeting with the people in his riding.

At the riding association’s nomination

Duncan Barnett

convention held Sunday in Quesnel, 150 Mile House rancher Duncan Barnett emerged the successful candidate.

“I’m very pleased and I’m excited and looking forward to the coming months and the May 14 election,” Duncan Barnett said Monday.

“I’m not ready to

start campaigning just yet, but it’s definitely time to start meeting people to make sure that I am 100 per cent up on the issues.”

Around 150 people attended the nomination convention held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Quesnel.

“There were a lot of observers there, the legion was full,” Barnett

said.

After Barnett and Quesnel candidate Sushil Thapar had 10 minutes each for an introduction, speech and question and answer period, voting took place.

A total of 78 people cast votes, Barnett said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix also gave a key-

note address.

“It was an excellent speech,” Barnett said.

“I was very pleased.

I not only liked what he said, but how he said it. It really made me feel confident, getting behind him as leader. I think people in the room were also impressed.”

Barnett noticed some young people

in the crowd and described the convention as a positive event with lots of energy and enthusiasm.

Realizing he will have to acquire a cell phone and a Facebook page, Barnett said he will have to become re-connected.

“It won’t be as calm as feeding the cows,” he added.

Initial Options Report decisions pending tonight Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer School District 27 trustees are expected to make their decisions tonight on recommendations for closing and consolidating schools in the Williams Lake area contained in their Initial Options Report.

The report proposes closing Wildwood, Glendale and Kwaleen elementary schools in Williams Lake and raising Grade 7 students from elementary schools to a reconfigured Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary school that would be operated as one grades 7 to 12 secondary school on two campuses.

The report was put to the public in September and decisions tonight will be made based on information received in the public consultation process and updated reports from staff on issues such as enrolment, bus routes, requirements for additional portables to house incoming students, and other financial considerations.

Trustees received the reports and discussed implications of public input during two special open board meetings Tuesday, Jan. 16 and Thursday, Jan. 17.

Public question periods on items on the agendas were held at the beginning of each

meeting and following each meeting on items not on the agenda.

One of the considerations discussed by trustees last week was whether to “rip off the bandage quickly” and make changes by next September as originally proposed or phase in some of the proposed changes over 18 months.

Several trustees supported the idea of moving quickly with any changes the board makes, rather than prolonging the uncertainty for parents and students.

Proposals discussed for the secondary school included having grades 7 to 12 at both Columneetza and WLSS or having grades 7 to 9 at one school and 10 to 12 at the other school, with some shared scheduling between the campuses.

Some trustees supported the idea of 7 to 9 being at the Columneetza campus because of concerns by parents they didn’t want their young children having easy access to downtown during their lunch hours.

In his report to the board Jan. 15 Superintendent Mark Thiessen said there were ways to minimize commutes for students between the two campuses.

For instance schedules could be set up so that students bus between schools only at

lunch time or changes might occur only at semester breaks.

He said class scheduling is the most difficult part of the puzzle for operating one school on two campuses.

The report recommends hiring a consultant to work on details related to the restructuring.

When it comes to options for configuring the 7 to 12 secondary school, one school/ two campus model, trustee Doug Neufeld said the board needs to be clear from the start which direction it will take so students are not subject to a lot of change.

The idea of removing students from school classrooms and putting them into portables didn’t sit well with several of the parents who spoke at the meetings.

The Initial Option Report recommends that Nesika elementary receive the French Immersion students now at Glendale Elementary.

The addition of two portable classrooms at Nesika is recommended to accommodate classroom sizing, growth of French Immersion, and the current learning resources program.

The learning assistance program at Nesika which currently has its own dedicated space would also be

impacted by the influx of Glendale students.

The Initial Options Report proposes that the Glendale regular program students and Wildwood students would move to Cataline elementary school requiring use of the annex.

Trustees also discussed possibilities for continuing the year round program now at Glendale which would require the addition of one or two portable classrooms.

The Initial Options Report proposes to move students living in the Kwaleen elementary catchment area to Chilcotin Road elementary school and return other students at the school to their original catchment area schools. This change would require

the addition of one portable.

Given public consultation the trustees are also considering moving all Kwaleen elementary students to Chilcotin Road which would require the addition of two portables. A portable is already in use on the site.

The trustees also discussed grandfathering Kwaleen siblings who are not yet in school to attend Chilcotin Road.

Roller reported that Chilcotin Road would be fairly full for the first couple of years if all current Kwaleen students were grandfathered into Chilcotin Road but the long term projection is for a continued reduction in student population over the next 10 years.

Elementary school enrolment continues to drop in lakecity Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Student enrolment in the Williams Lake area is forecast to continue declining over the next 10 years.

Updated enrolment figures were presented to the School District 27 board by Secretary-treasuer Bonnie Roller during a special public meeting Tuesday, Jan. 15 on the topic of the board’s Initial Options Report.

The report proposes closing and consolidating Glendale, Wildwood and Kwaleen elementary schools in the Williams Lake area and reshaping Williams Lake and Columneetza secondary schools into one grades 7 to 12 secondary school operated on two campuses.

Changes are proposed to meet dwindling Ministry of Education operational funding which is based primarily on student enrolment figures.

Fringe fire spat reminds me of a song

Out with the old, in with the new

he local fire protection fuss reminds me of a song from my childhood that went “I don’t want to play in your yard, I don’t like you any more; you’ll be sorry when you see me sliding down my cellar door” ... or starting my own fire department.

The City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District have had rows before but this is the first time, I believe, that either went to court.

M o s t spats French h a v e Connection c o n Diana French cerned w h o pays for what, but relations have been amicable for some years now as the two governments reached cost-sharing agreements in several areas.

This one came as a surprise, and it happened so quickly. City councillors have to keep an eye on finances — that’s their job — but their timing and communications on this issue suck. CRD Chair Richmond has been in the media explaining the district’s side of the story but the city’s news releases haven’t really gotten to the meat of the matter and even some of us townies are confused.

It’s too bad Mayor Cook didn’t go to the CRD’s public meeting last week to explain the city’s position.

She is, after all, Williams Lake’s director on the CRD. The Cariboo has changed a lot since regional districts came into being in 1969. Maybe we need a different system.

Two tries to form a district municipality failed (fringe areas balked) so what about trying something else, like three separate districts — north, middle and south — with one government for each district, no separate city or town status and directors elected at large.

I’m not sure where the Chilcotin would fit. Or, maybe Williams Lake could split up and join areas D, E and F. Some area D, E, and F residents don’t want to play in our yard. As a city resident/taxpayer for 43 years, I’m a bit embarrassed.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

eginning in the middle of February, a new BC Services Card will be brought in to replace the aging CareCard.

From Feb. 15 through the next five years, British Columbians between the ages of 19 and 74 will have the chance to replace their CareCards with the BC Services Card; the new card is free of charge and all they need to do to obtain it is renew their enrolment in the Medical Services Plan.

As we know all too well technology has changed a lot MLA s i n c e Musings 1989, when the Donna Barnett CareCard was introduced. The new BC Services Card incorporates some of the new technology that has been developed in the past two decades, making it both more secure and more convenient than the CareCard. It includes features such as a photograph, antiforgery technology, identity proofing, and a date of expiry. It serves as photo ID and can even be combined with a driver’s license, so you won’t need to worry about carrying extra cards around with you.

Since the new card can be combined with your driver’s license, you will have the option of enrolling when you are renewing your license; for those who don’t drive, you can still enroll at our local ServiceBC office or anywhere that driver’s licenses are issued. Once you have enrolled, you will receive the new BC Services Card, and will need to reenrol every five years. The BC Services Card is free, and if you choose to combine it with your driver’s license, this will cost no more than the driver’s license itself.

For certain groups of people, such as children, elderly citizens, or those in residential care or hospital care, the procedure involved may be difficult. The program takes this into consideration, and these groups will be exempt from the requirement to re-enrol, which will instead be handled through special arrangements.

The new card also lays the groundwork for potentially developing an easier and more convenient way of accessing government services online in the future. If you would like to learn more about the BC Services Card, please visit www.bcservicescard.ca.

Help support literacy Browsing through the pages of the Tribune this week, you’ll notice a theme.

It’s Family Literacy Week (Jan. 20-26) and the Tribune, in partnership with the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy, are helping promote one of life’s most essential skills — literacy.

This Thursday marks the 12th anniversary of the Tribune’s Reach a Reader edition.

Throughout various articles in Thursday’s paper, along with today’s issue, we’ll be highlighting the importance of literacy — whether it’s those who have struggled with reading and writing in the past, the CCPL’s various and multiple programs, information on computer literacy and financial literacy, or simply reading to your children.

Bruce Mack, president of the CCPL, said the issue is far-reaching and affects many residents in the Cariboo.

He added many take literacy for granted, but it’s a skill many people struggle with.

Without programs such as the CCPL’s, many local residents may never have a chance to learn to read and write at an acceptable level, or pass along their skills to

Lobby groups manipulating Canadians Editor

I want to applaud regular Tribune, Black Press commentator, Tom Fletcher regarding his Jan. 4 Tribune Weekend Edition column headlined “Is gas the envirovillain of 2013”.

There has been a great American Lobby effort to paint Canada’s Oil Sands as the world’s worst environmental disaster — couple this with an effort to possibly also paint proposed shipments of Liquid Natural Gas as the next worse thing that could happen to the world.

Spearheading the negative propaganda are rich, powerful and very influential anti Canadian, American lobby groups that view Canada as their exclusive playground and don’t want this playground, in their opinion, impacted by any Canadian Government’s efforts to provide social programs for its citizens by the marketing of Canada’s assets.

For those that do not think that these powerful American lobby groups are manipulating Canadian’s, think again.

Tom Fletcher, in his column, mentions the “The Great Bear

Governments need to be held more accountable Editor: These past few weeks we have been hearing and reading a lot about the First Nations “Idle No More” protests.

These persons have concerns regarding living conditions, poverty, land and mineral claims, and environmental degradation of their lands.

There are others of us that are stating the First Nations have received enough tax dollars and need to be more accountable with the spending.

After reading Macleans magazine, Jan. 14, 2013 issue and the article “99 Stupid things the govt’s did with your money” I don’t feel we can criticize anyone.

Here are two examples listed in the article: Agriculture Canada gave $826,000 to Cardinal Meat

Bella Coola hereditary chief Ed Moody, now deceased, protested that the logging was occurring on sacred native ground. Fair enough, his cause was taken up and supported by protest groups looking for a cause all the way to California. Ed Moody both a friend and former customer was invited to California, gaining broad support for his cause.

It was here that the name Great Bear Rain Forest, and Spirit Bear were contrived.

Couple this with the claim that the logging was occurring in old growth forests.

Forests that had been pre logged starting in the early 1900s

by Pacific Mills limited of Ocean Falls and because of the damp coastal climate had regenerated to the point that to a novice, with closed eyes to the moss covered rotting stumps, these forests appear like old growth.

Using the heavy hammer of a vast American population, environmentally manipulating Canadians, it seems, is an American pastime.

Specialists to develop a sausage that doesn’t burst when cooked.

CBC radio spent $56,000 to survey its own employees — 80 per cent found a positive opinion of CBC, 70 per cent said it enriched democratic life.

I feel all levels of government from federal, to municipal to tribal need to be more accountable with tax payers dollars.

At the federal and provincial levels we have elected supposedly intelligent persons to run our financial affairs.

The First Nations people are just starting to govern their own people and most likely could use some guidance and education on how to control their affairs. I really feel the “pot is calling the kettle black” in this instance.

Rain Forest” and the “Spirit Bear.”

Both of these phrases are California-based marketing tools. In almost 25 years up to the 1980s, serving the Central Coast of British Columbia, not once did I hear any native or non-native refer to the Central Coast as the Great Bear Rain Forest, or the Kermode Bear, referred to as a Spirit Bear.

Both of these names came about during a period of time when a major logging company during the late 1980s attempted to log an area on King Island on the Central Coast.

The T-wolves went on to win a twogame set and are currently in the midst of a highly successful season.

Mushers praise race trails Arlene Jongbloets 100 Mile House Free Press Organizers of Cariboo Challenge Sled Dog Race are calling this year’s event one for the books, with near perfect conditions and registration 30 per cent higher than in the previous eight years, at least.

The event ran at the 108 Heritage Site on Jan. 12-13, with a total of 63 teams registered, including several from the South Cariboo.

Chilly weather, which dipped to -23 C but hovered around -11 C on Saturday, kept some potential spectators away, but it was ideal for mushing, says race committee chair Len Doucette.

Sunday was milder, with an estimated 300 to 400 visitors making a stop at the site.

Racers from Alberta dominated the competition, with the 10-dogopen race win going to Rob Peebles, with Brooke Hartum in second place and third going to Mark Hartum – all from the Wild Rose province.

In the six-dog-open, B. Hartum led the pack, with Dave Johnson of

Yukon in second and Alberta’s Ken Bernard in third place.

Bernard won the four-dog open and B. Hartum cashed in again with second place in that event.

Rob Ramsey from Manitoba raced to third place.

Hans Appleman of Alberta wrapped up a win in the six-dog purebred class, and in the fourdog purebred race, Sally Swan of Prince George got the win and Pam Barker from 100 Mile House was second.

The skijoring event had competitors race five miles on skis pulled by at least one dog.

Appleman clinched first place, Bernard was second and Dana Luck from Rossland was third.

Prize money was paid down to eighth place, ensuring that just about everyone cashed in.

Doucette says mushers loved the course and some mentioned it was among the best in Western Canada.

“They liked the nicely machinegroomed trails. They’re wide, fast, challenging and have an elevation change. It’s good, because word gets out.”

Haywood, Man.’s Rob Ramsay takes his sled around a bend during the Cariboo Challenge Sled Dog Race, hosted at the 108 Heritage Site. Ramsay finished fourth in the six-dog open.

A novelty weight-pull contest saw Taku, a malamute owned by Georgina Vellenoweth, cross the finish line and keep going as far as the parking lot before he could be stopped.

The 122-pound (55.45-kilogram) dog was pulling a sled weighted down with sacks of dog food. The event saw close to a doz-

en participants who all won prizes of dog food.

The event featured a silent auction that generated slightly more than $3,300, and a live auction at Saturday night’s Meet the Mushers dinner, with 99 tickets sold, brought in $1,100.

Doucette says the committee is already planning next year’s event.

The Williams Lake men’s and ladies’ soccer leagues are now accepting registration for the upcoming Third Annual Co-Ed Valentine’s Futsal Tournament.

The tournament goes Feb. 15-17 at the Williams Lake Secondary School gymnasium.

On Feb. 16, following games, there will be a social at the Oliver Street Bar and Grill.

Registration forms for the tournament can be downloaded at www. williamslakesoccer.ca or can be picked up at Caribou Ski Source For Sports.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)

Local hopes to start youth dart club During the flight I quit breathing, then woke up two days later in Edmonton, right before my first of two brain surgeries.

I spent three months in three different hospitals and survived two brain surgeries.

I lived all this but had no movement on my entire left side. I was unsure if I would ever walk again. At the hospital I started physiotherapy. I was just learning how to walk and to stand again, when I asked my therapist if I would ever be able to play darts again.

He told me it depended on how hard I was willing to work towards that goal.

From that day my goal was to get better, no matter what. I made a promise that someday I would be well enough to attend the B.C. provincial dart

Wayne O’Neil Special to The Tribune It’s been a goal of mine, since I was paralyzed on my entire left side, to make it to the B.C. provincial dart tournament.

It was May 27, 2011, around 5 a.m. I was at work and had just finished my lunch break.

That’s where it happened — blood vessels in my brain burst and I laid on the floor, my body shaking uncontrollably.

I was two hours north of Fort McMurray and had to take a two-hour ambulance ride to the nearest hospital where I soon was diagnosed with an AVM rupture (right frontal lobe of my brain), which caused a hemorrhage.

I then had a one-hour flight to Edmonton.

tournament. I set a goal for myself that day in the hospital before my first step, unsure if I would ever reach it.

I talked to my dad about it, and he said if I made it he would come watch me play in the Canadian National Championship dart tournament. I then asked “Do you think I can make the men’s provincial dart team?”

He said, “Son, don’t worry about asking the team, you will make it.

Just look what you have accomplished. Making the provincial dart team will be one of your easiest challenges you will have to face in the last year and a half. I believe you can make the dart team. I believe after what you have shown me there isn’t much you can’t do if you put your mind to it.”

I surprised myself be-

cause a lot of the time I’d get frustrated and want to give up, then would think: “What if I made the team by some fluke?”

It would be one of the greatest comebacks of all time.

I’ve had to learn to stand, to walk and to throw darts all over and to do this I had to gain strength on the left side of my body, as well as gain confidence. I practiced playing darts working on my balance for a year and a half for two hours a day at home.

My journey has been a long process of rehabilitation and doesn’t have an ending yet. The Caribou Brain Injury Society and the Williams Lake youth dart program has joined in a joint fundraising venture. All funding will be split evenly between the two organiza-

National

Non-Smoking Week

January 20th to January 26th, 2013 You probably don’t need to be told that smoking is bad for you. But what are the benefits of quitting?

Quit now and reduce your risk of cancer In Canada, it is estimated that smoking is responsible for 30% of all cancer deaths and is related to more than 85% of lung cancer cases.

The more you smoke and the longer you smoke, the more you increase your risk of developing lung cancer.

But within 10 years of quitting, an ex-

smoker’s overall risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half.

If you quit, your risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, bladder and cervix decreases.

• spit up mucus • have repeat chest infections These are not signs of aging or being out of shape. They are signs that smoking is damaging your lungs.

Quit now and breathe better Even relatively light smoking may cause lung damage because smoking is repetitive, and the effects of inhaling add up over time. If you’re a smoker, you may have noticed that you: • feel out of breath when walking up a short flight of stairs • cough a lot

Quit and feel better in so many other ways The single best thing you can do to improve your health is to quit smoking.

And the improvements start almost right away. As soon as you stop smoking, your body begins to cleanse itself of tobacco poisons.

Canadian tobacco statistics

Monitoring and analyzing tobacco stats helps us keep track of our successes in the tobacco field – and points us towards where we need to do more work. The two main surveys we rely on are: The Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey The Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) provides us with important information about the changes in smoking status and the amount smoked by Canadians.

Key results • 17% of Canadians (15 years or older) were current smokers in 2010 – down from 18% in 2009.

Current smoking has fallen only 2% over the last 5 years, whereas in prior years, smoking rates were decreasing by 1% per year on average. The

Why should I quit?

main reason for the slowing decline has been the availability of cheap contraband cigarettes.

• More men smoke than women.

• Smoking rates for youth have gone down to 12% of young people (15–19 years old) currently smoking in 2010. This is good news.

Youth Smoking Survey The Youth Smoking Survey monitors tobacco use in school-aged children (grades 6 - 12). The most recent survey in 2008/2009 found that 3% of students in grades 6 to 9 are smokers, and 13% of students in grades 10 to 12 are smokers. These rates are unchanged from 2006/2007 but are up from 2004/2005 when 2% of students in grade 6 to 9 and 11% of students in grades 10 to 12 smoked.

Buy a paper and a chance to win $10 That’s right. On Jan. 24, 2013, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) volunteers will be selling the Williams Lake Tribune by donation.

When you see them standing in front of local businesses, such as Save On Foods, Safeway, Tim Horton’s, Bean Counter, and Walmart, make a donation and receive a paper (even if you do get the paper at home, please donate).

All the money we raise will go to support local literacy programs in the Cariboo Chilcotin — programs such as: Books for Babies, Financial Literacy, Adult Tutoring, Bright Red Bookshelf, and Computer Literacy to name just a few.

“But how do I get a chance to win $10?” you ask yourself.

Every year, Save On Foods donates gift certificates in the amount of $10 which we randomly insert into the newspapers our volunteers sell.

You won’t find this in your newspaper at home!

So on Jan. 24, buy a newspaper from one of volunteers and we’ll all be winners.

Stuart Joseph Hoy remembered — June 25, 1927 -- Dec. 27, 2012 — Brenda Levesque Special to The Tribune The son of David and Evelyn Hoy, Stuart Joseph Hoy, was the third of seven children and grew up in Fort St. James, B.C. He was born June 25, 1927 and passed away on Dec. 27, 2012, predeceased by two wives (Fran and Alma), and four siblings, Norma, Marion, Doug and Bob. Dad survived the tragic loss of his first wife, and three years later managed to find a second lady to love him and spent the next 30 years with Alma.

He was father to six children, Brenda (Phil) Levesque, Doug (Carol), Donna, Leslie (Yuki), Richard (Donna) Smith, and Laura (Lyle) Matchke, 11 grandchildren, and one greatgrandson, Jordan.

Dad lived a very full life. He left Fort St. James at age 24 to join the Air Force, and trained as a communications technician. He spent six years in the RCAF where he met and married Fran, before returning to the Fort in 1960.

He joined the B.C. Forest Service in 1963, moved to Prince George and continued on to Williams Lake in 1972.

He spent 25 years ensuring communications were in place from Williams Lake to Fort St. John. Long before cell phones, he installed towers on mountains that enabled forest fire fighters to communicate with each other.

He retired in 1987 and spent a couple more years travelling around the area installing automated weather stations, while living in Horsefly, and later moved to Keremeos where he helped build the SunKatchers

Stuart Hoy RV Park.

Dad loved the outdoors and nature in general. He would rather walk up the mountain than take a helicopter.

He was in great physical shape, complaining that he was getting old because he couldn’t shovel cement for eight hours a day when he was 75 (I know 20 year olds with that problem).

Dad was the king of one liners and famous for his stories, which he told over and over.

He moved to Nanaimo in 2007 and gave his family a few good years and a lot of memories. He followed family around through the prepcamp in Port Albernie, and numerous minor hockey games where he could always be counted on to buy 50/50 tickets, never expecting to win, saying he considered it his ticket to watch.

And he could always tell you which rink had the best fries.

His family had lots of time with him, listening to his stories and he enjoyed his time, helping his family to build a home at Haggard’s Cove, fishing and helping out.

His grandchildren Dani and Dalyce got a chance to know him better, his grandson-in-law Clint and great-grand-

son, Jordan, spent many happy hours fishing and listening to his stories and Jordan will always remember Grampa Hoy’s hockey sticks — that he offered to pay for as his contribution to Jordan’s quest.

It’s sad that his second grandson-in-law, Lee never got a chance to know him as the smart guy that he was.

He loved his Japanese grandsons, Leon and Lemiel and enjoyed their many visits to Canada and his five trips to Japan, along with Hawaii and Disneyland to be part of their lives.

Thank you to Richard and Donna, for hauling him out to their place at Horne Lake to enjoy the nature and help with fence building — and the occasional glass of wine … and many hours visiting and keeping him company.

Thank you also to my sister, Donna, for her many trips from Edmonton. You took him out to enjoy the outdoors and kept him company, so that Phil and I could enjoy the occasional few days away.

Dad had Alzheimer’s and did his best to accept it and continue his life. He suffered a stroke in 2011 that slowed him down physically, but he kept up his positive attitude. He always considered himself a lucky man. Dad spent two years at Berwick on the Lake, keeping the girls there amused by his jokes, and received excellent care before his health took a turn down and he moved to Nanaimo Seniors’ Village, where he spent the last four months surrounded by a new group of caring individuals that treated him with respect and dignity, and did their best to keep him comfortable.

He taught all of us kids a lot and we all agree that his most important message was to “always leave the campsite cleaner than we found it.”

That’s how he lived his life and if more people lived that way, the world would be a better place.

Although his passing was not unexpected, it does leave a big hole in lives. He was the most optimistic person I knew, and wanted to “live as hard as he could for as long as he could, and when it was time to go, leave without causing a fuss.”

He was a kind, gentle soul and although we will miss him always, we’re glad that his pain is gone.

Good-bye dad, and thank you for all you did for all of us.

Thank you to all the people who cared for him during his last few years, friends and family who accepted him into their lives, Dr. Pienaar, the staff of Berwick on the Lake and Nanaimo Seniors’ Village, Amit for his efforts to help him to walk again, and his good friend Harold (Thor) Hamilton, who visited him often and brought back memories of his early years in Fort St. James.

At his request we are not holding a formal service. We will remember him in our hearts and celebrate his life this summer in Fort St. James.

If anyone wants to honour his memory, please think of him as you drink a glass of red wine, or enjoy a piece of chocolate cake. No flowers please. If you wish, please make a donation in his name to the Nanaimo Hospice House, or the Alzheimer’s Society.

Tall tales and great food at annual game banquet An entertaining evening filled with good food, awards, tall tales and conversation will get underway Saturday, Feb. 2, when the doors open on the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association annual wild game banquet.

‘The evening will start with cocktails at 6 p.m. followed by dinner, catered by Della Rauch, at 7 p.m.

A variety of wild game meat will be on the menu for the evening. The banquet, awards and fundraising affair will be at Sacred Heart Hall.

The event is the main fundraiser for the association, which operates the Bond Lake shooting ranges and numerous outdoor programs.

Education includes hunting, animal identification, ethics, survival and firearms safety, as well as archery programs.

The club provides

for facilities for law enforcement officers to practice and qualify for use of firearms as well as opportunities for sport shooters, archers and biathletes to train.

But the game banquet is designed for fun.

The tall tales are part of the competition for the rear-ender trophy, the biggest goof-up in hunting, fishing and outdoor activities.

It’s a time to rat out your buddy and/or your spouse on some silly thing they might do.

The reward is a trophy that is typically the north end of a southbound horse.

The food will be fine, and opportunities to win some terrific prizes abound.

Tickets are available from club members, Surplus Herby’s, Barton’s Insurance, Blue Mountain Gunsmithing and Chilcotin Guns.

Don’t wait too long.

Celebration concert honours John and Debbie Sykes An afternoon concert and fundraiser will be held to honour John and Debbie Sykes on Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Elks Hall in Williams Lake.

Entertainment will include performances by the Cariboo Men’s Choir, Quintet Plus, Willow, the Cariboo Gold Dance Band, and more.

The event runs from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. with entertainment, silent auction, refreshments, and dancing. Admission is by donation.

Organizers say that Sunday’s event is an opportunity for the community to honour two people who have given hundreds of hours of volunteer time through many organizations.

John is currently undergoing treatment for cancer and the event is a way to show community support.

Monies raised will be given to John and Debbie.

Items for the silent auction can be delivered

to Williams Lake Secondary School between January 23 and 25.

Financial contributions can also be made to the Tuba John account at the Williams Lake Credit Union.

Heart Warmers City responds to rural fire protection inquiries The City has received numerous inquiries from both City and rural residents, the most common of which involves the continuation of rural fire protection services after Jan. 1, 2013.

The process of finding an equitable solution to rural fire protection services has been a complex and challenging one. Negotiations with the Cariboo Regional District were difficult and inconclusive. There was extensive deliberation and debate by Council, and decisions were not unanimous. Consistent among all members of Council was the intent to continue the service, and ensure residents were not without fire protection.

The City made an offer to the CRD within the bounds of the costs outlined in the referendum question, which the CRD did not accept. This left the City unable to offer the service without an agreement in place, due to significant insurance concerns and liability risk. The Dec. 21 Supreme Court of B.C. injunction allows the service to continue to April 30 without a long-term agreement.

“The City’s relationship with the Cariboo Regional District is very important, and we want to have a positive, constructive one,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “The City and CRD have important business to do together, and the City is committed to find ways to do that business in a respectful manner. I’m confident that it can happen on this issue as well.”
