Today volunteers will be selling the Tribune by donation at various locations in support of the Reach a Reader Day, the CaribooChilcotin Partners for Literacy’s major fundraiser of the year. This year donations will buy new books for the Bright Red Bookshelf. CCPL provides more than 250 books each month free to children living in Williams Lake and area.

Please come out and buy a paper and support this fun and worthwhile event. Read on for more information about partners for literacy.

The union representing more than 100 city employees in Williams Lake will be holding a strike vote on Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Coast Fraser Inn. John Dube, International Union of Operating Engineers service representative Local 882B, said Wednesday the union has been without a contract for eight months.

“There are 105 to 110 members, some part-time, some seasonal, and some full-time,” Dube said.

The union and employer have met on a few occasions, but are not close to working out a deal, he said.

“We met Jan. 21, were still very far apart, and we walked away from the table. We haven’t even talked money yet,” Dube said.

The city said Wednesday it will be applying to the Labour Relations Board for a mediator.

School District 27 trustees finalize Initial Options Report Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer After much anticipation and a year of countless board meetings and months of consulting with parents, public, staff and students, the School District 27 board of education has made its decision on how to balance its budget while keeping the education of students in the forefront, states a press release from the board Wednesday.

Decisions on the Initial Options Report recommendations for closing and consolidating schools in the district to meet Ministry of Education budget constraints were made by the trustees in an open board meeting Tuesday evening.

“With declining enrolment and dwindling budgets, the board has made some very difficult decisions tonight,” said Chair Will VanOsch.

“We believe the process we used resulted in excellent feedback and ideas from all our stakeholders. We also recognize that there is not a single option out there that would

please everyone. But the board has listened and tonight’s (Tuesday, Jan. 23) decisions were not made lightly.”

The trustees adopted the Initial Options Report as its comprehensive long-term plan. Some amendments were made based on updated reports from staff and public input that has been received since the report was first put to the public last September.

• In the Williams Lake Area Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools will be reconfigured to a one school, two campus model, grades 7-12. In a deviation from the original report there is a recommendation to make one campus predominantly grades 7-9 and the other predominantly grades 1012.

A recommendation from trustee Sheila Boehm to make Columneetza the campus for 7 to 9 and WLSS the campus for 10 to 12 was withdrawn to allow staff and trustees time to closely examine various options for implementing the one school twocampus secondary model for Williams Lake.

• Glendale Elementary School is recommended for closure as originally proposed in the report. The final bylaw is scheduled to be adopted at the Jan. 29 meeting.

• Glendale’s current balanced calendar will continue at Cataline Elementary School, alongside the regular calendar at Cataline.

• No amendments were made to the Initial Options Report regarding the French Immersion program, which means the French Immersion program currently at Glendale will move to Nesika Elementary School as originally proposed.

• Kwaleen Elementary School is recommended for closure in keeping with original recommendations in the report. The final bylaw is scheduled to be adopted at the Jan. 29 meeting.

• All current Kwaleen Elementary School students will have the option of attending Chilcotin Road Elementary School. School of choice options continue to apply. The report originally had Kwaleen students in the South Lakeside catchment area

going to Chilcotin Road and students living outside the catchment area returning to the school in their own catchment area. Kwaleen is currently a school of choice based on the traditional school model.

During Tuesday’s board meeting, Trustee Sheila Boehm made a resolution inviting applications from the public and schools who might like to become traditional schools or balanced calendar schools.

After discussion the resolution was defeated because the board is always open to input from parents and schools for such applications.

Other trustees noted that such initiatives should come from the grass roots level.

• Wildwood Elementary School will remain open and be reconfigured into a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school. The report originally recommended Wildwood for closure. It is currently a Kindergarten to Grade 3 school.

Computer literacy: a necessary foundation skill Greg Sabatino photo

Clair Schreiner Special to The Tribune Computer literacy is the ability to use a computer for a variety of tasks.

The ability to use a computer is considered a necessary foundation skill along with the ability to read and write fluently.

Many jobs require a minimum level of computer knowledge. It is necessary to use a computer to prepare a resume and even to do a job search.

If you are beyond the job-search years of your life, you may find that you need to use a computer to keep in touch with family and friends using e-mail.

Banks and service providers are trying to convince us to use their online computer services.

The public library uses

Aurora-Lee Hooker, 4, and her mom, Barbara Hooker, take advantage of the children’s literacy computers at the Williams Lake Library last week.

a computer catalogue and offers many internet links to magazines, newspapers, online ebooks and government collections.

Applying for government benefits and pensions is much faster using a computer. Checking the Revenue Canada site for tax information is easier than hours waiting to talk to someone on the phone.

Help is available for

those who would like to learn how to use a computer.

Partner Assisted Learning (PAL) is a program sponsored by the Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

The public library has free computer use and PAL has tutors to help.

Together they made a plan to help people in the city tackle their computer issues. On the second and fourth Tuesday of the

month, anyone can book an hour to work with a PAL tutor on a computer in the library.

This is a free service.

The program has been running for a year with 20 help sessions and over 70 people assisted.

The session can be for basic computer use, program use (such as Word or Power Point), internet use, and/or email use.

We can also help you learn to use a laptop or

tablet and manage your pictures using the computer.

The library has short courses on using EReaders.

Phone the Cariboo Regional District Library at 250-392-3351 to book your session for computer help.

You can also visit the library to sign up.

Williams Lake City council is hoping the Cariboo Regional District will agree to go to a mediator to solve the issue around fire protection for rural fringe residents.

Council passed a motion Tuesday directing staff to contact the CRD and make the request, after the city received a Notice of Civil Action was filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 15 by the CRD. “We are trying to focus on how we move

forward,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. “We know that mediation is important so that’s why it’s important to take the initiative.

Council also received a letter late afternoon on Jan. 18 from CRD Area F Director Joan Sorley that included a notice of sus-

pension of Central Cariboo/City of Williams Lake Joint Committee meetings until the fringe fire protection issue can be solved.

Sorley brought a similar motion to the CRD board meeting Jan. 18.

The motion was defeated.

Judge Randall William Callan reserved judgement in the case of a charge of assault against RCMP Cst. Andy Yung heard in Williams Lake provincial court this week.

A meeting is set for Feb. 13 at 1:30 p.m. to fix a date for the judge to give his decision.

Crown Counsel Lori Stevens and defence lawyer Rod Gregory gave their final arguments on Wednesday morning.

The assault charge against Yung stems from an incident on Sept. 10, 2011 when then 17-year-old Jamie Haller was taken into police custody.

Haller testified she was punched in the face several times by

Yung while she was handcuffed and contained in the rear seat of a police cruiser.

Yung testified he punched Haller several times in the face, but only after she kicked him in the face and scissor-locked his head with her legs.

The trial began Monday morning.

For two full days the judge heard testimony and cross examination

reach a reader

Readers are leaders: Read for 15 today on Reach a Reader Day Carla Bullinger Special to The Tribune Thursday, Jan. 24 is Reach a Reader Day in Williams Lake, a day when everyone is encouraged to read for 15 minutes. This annual event is organized by Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and to raise funds for local literacy programs.

This year we are working in partnership with School District 27 to expand our activities to include all schools in the Reading for 15 program.

www.wltribune.com A3

Now we are inviting you to join us.

Your business, agency, family, youth group, seniors group, etc, can join in the Read for 15 fun.

For those of you with really young kids, 15 minutes will be a long time and can be adjusted accordingly.

How? There’s lots of ways to do it.

• A supervisor reads to staff.

• Have a staff meeting and people read silently.

Afterwards people can talk about what they read or are reading.

• Buddy reading. For those of you with no

children in school, that means one person reads to another.

• Have a friendly competition with another business or agency • Invite another family to read with yours.

• Have a local “celebrity” read to your group.

It doesn’t matter – just read for 15 minutes.

We have some nifty neon pencils you can give to your group once you’ve Read for 15.

The pencils have the slogan Readers are Leaders on them. Limited quantities of the pencils are available so we’re sure they will be a coveted item.

Fill out the form below and fax it back to us.

Send pictures if you have some.

Let’s see how many people we can get reading for 15 minutes on Jan. 24.

For more information, call Carla Bullinger at 250-267-8249.

Readers are Leaders We Read for 15 Fax: 250-398-7871 or email at carla@caribooliteracy.com Attention: Carla Bullinger Name of Business/ Agency/Group (etc.): Number of people who read: What did you do?

Literacy the invisible barrier says Partners for Literacy co-ordinator Janette Moller Special to The Tribune To be literate, means that you have the ability to understand what you read and the skills to communicate and engage with others.

One who is literate has the confidence to go through life’s experiences, initiating opportunities at work, at home and in the community.

Low literacy is not an appealing topic to discuss and can often be an uncomfortable one.

Those that can read and are educated often find it hard to believe that many adults have challenges with literacy. To be literate is something that many of us take for granted. Unfortunately, millions of adult Canadians struggle with literacy barriers. 40 per cent of adults in B.C. do

not have the skills they need to read the newspaper, or even read a map.

Low literacy and education among adults are the cause of many problems. Often, there is a social stigma that goes along with low literacy levels. One can be embarrassed and go to great lengths to hide their lack of skills. Can you imagine how it must feel to not be able

to read simple things such as signs, maps, and a menu let alone the newspaper or prescription instructions? Those who struggle on a daily basis don’t speak out for themselves. They are frequently trapped by feelings of guilt and low self-esteem; they often work hard to hide this weakness. They don’t know who to turn to, or ask for help. This makes them “invisible”,

and yes overlooked.

Yes – literacy is an invisible obstacle; those of us who are literate have forgotten how it feels to struggle with reading and may not see it. We may ignore it and hope it goes away.

Those that are faced with literacy barriers often hide it and find ways to compensate.

Canadians with the “invisible literacy barrier” face difficulties accom-

plishing the basic tools for living, personal enjoyment, self-awareness, the ability to communicate, increasing employability, contributing to community and improving their health and wellbeing.

What can we do is the question?

We can all become lifelong learners and encourage others to become lifelong learners. We must provide

support to family and community members.

Make sure that you read to your children, 15 minutes every day will make a difference. If possible volunteer your time to a literacy program in the community and speak out in support of literacy programs.

Listen and pay attention to what is going on in your home and community and ask don’t be afraid to ask for help!

Wildwood elementary avoids the axe as enrolment grows Continued From Page A1 In discussion trustees noted that enrolment at Wildwood has almost doubled in the past year and there is a potential for more students returning to the school.

Factors cited for keeping Wildwood open included drawing students back to the school by maintaining stability in keeping the school open; a strong First Nations program (increasing First Nations graduation rates

is priority a goal of the district); and the potential for more families to move to the Wildwood area with the current expansion of Gibraltar Mines.

• The remaining elementary schools in Williams Lake area will be reconfigured to grades K to 6 schools.

Changes are also proposed to schools in the 100 Mile House Area.

• Peter Skene Ogden Secondary will be reconfigured to a grades 8-12 school.

• 100 Mile House Jr.

Secondary is recommended for closure as the report states. The final bylaw is scheduled to be adopted Jan. 29.

The report originally proposed closing the junior secondary school and moving Grade 8s to the elementary schools.

• Buffalo Creek Elementary School is recommended for closure in keeping with original recommendations in the report. The final bylaw is scheduled to be adopted at the Jan. 29 meeting.

“With big changes

come opportunities,” said Superintendent of Schools, Mark Thiessen.

“I’m confident that our team will hit the ground running tomorrow to begin a solid implementation process.

“Our priority will be helping our students and staff to make the smoothest transitions possible into their new situations next year.”

The final document will be made available on the district’s website www.sd27.bc.ca over the next couple of days.

Tuesday, trustees decided not to go ahead with a proposed 90 day public consultation period on a proposal to close the Lac la Hache Elementary school. Parent Advisory Council president Jennifer Tanner (left) and area residents made impassioned pleas at Tuesday’s meeting for the board to keep the school open.

REACH A READER

Volunteer literacy tutors make a difference Janette Moller Special to The Tribune Many of us who have lived in the area for a long time feel that we would like to “pay back” in some way, the good things which we have enjoyed during our time here.

Williams Lake, like most small towns, is dependent on unpaid volunteers for many of the services which help to make our community a (relatively) safe and, certainly, a vibrant place to live.

These volunteers are largely invisible, dedicated, reliable, busy people.

Many of them work within more than one or-

Janette Moller ganization.

Without them, many attractions we take for granted, the Stampede, the Station House Gallery, the annual car show, Family Fest, Harvest Fair, to name only a few

examples, could not continue.

One of these services is Partner Assisted Learning (PAL to the initiated!).

This is a well-established service to assist those adults who feel a need to improve aspects of literacy.

Sometimes it is a mother who wants to help her child with homework; sometimes a housewife who wants to become more involved in self improvement now that her children have left home.

Maybe it is a young man who didn’t see the sense of senior English but now needs it to get into trades training.

Or perhaps it is a per-

son who needs to upgrade in search of a new job.

It is amazing how many of us in our community need just that little bit of extra help to effect what may become life changing results.

PAL is one of the services freely provided to the community through the auspices of the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy, a non-profit organization.

It has been in the area now for more than 10 years, and currently operates out of Thompson Rivers University.

The program provides services to adult students, those over 18, who request help with literacy

issues.

We try to match requests for help with one of our volunteer tutors.

Occasionally we offer group tutoring in small group sessions.

If the assistance is something we are not equipped to deal with, we often help the person involved seek help through other agencies.

It is sad to have to turn down requests for help, but there are not enough tutors to meet the requests made and sometimes people have to wait a long time for the assistance needed.

Tutors are offered a comprehensive and interesting training program before beginning work.

We desperately need more tutors.

If you can help please call Janette (250-3928161) or June (250-392-

8130).

Janette Moller is the Partner Assisted Learn-

ing co-ordinator for Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

Media Relations The goal of this workshop is to equip participants with the necessary skills to interact professionally with the media. Participants will leave able to: develop and communicate key messages, handle different types/formats of interviews, develop effective news releases, plan and execute news conferences, plan and execute media campaigns, understand how to harness the power of social media, understand the news cycle and how different types of media overlap, understand the difference between news reporting in different types of media (radio, television, print, internet).

Fee: $599 Deadline to register is February 11, 2013.

Dates: Feb 18-20, 2013, Monday -Wednesday, 9am-4pm Instructor Bio: Karen Tankard has more than two decades of experience in the media as an award-winning reporter, editor and news announcer for CBC Radio and Television News in Vancouver.

Karen holds a Master of Arts degree from SFU, a Graduate Certificate in Professional Communication Management from Royal Roads University, and a Diploma of Technology in Broadcast Communications from BCIT.

Positive economic indicators everywhere

Weirder and weirder

J

O

ne of the things I love to do as mayor is to visit new businesses. Every month we select a few, and I go to meet with the owner, welcome them to Williams Lake if they are a new resident, and to learn about their business. Last week, I visited Kim Kaytor at From the Smashin’ Mayor’s SmoothChair ies, and I Kerry Cook saw how businesspeople are different. They step up and take risks, because they believe in their product or service, and they believe in themselves. Sometimes we forget about those risks, but we are grateful for them. Keep your eyes open; more and more people are discovering Williams Lake is a great place to start a business. Last year, the city issued 113 new business licenses, which is a 37 per cent increase over 2011.

Other positive 2012 economic indicators are that new home construction, airport passengers, and the average selling price for a house are all up over 2011. The best news of all is that the Cariboo’s unemployment rate is 4.4 per cent, the lowest in years, and lower than the provincial average!

On another note, it is very difficult to see stores closing. The face of retail is changing across the country. We also see it close to home, with the Shoe Warehouse and Zellers stores shutting their doors in Williams Lake. I am in regular contact with the Boitanio Mall owner and manager, and the city will do what it can to support new businesses in the mall.

Council unanimously passed a resolution requesting that the Cariboo Regional District enter into mediation on the fringe fire protection issue. It’s very important that we are able to sit down at a table and work on issues together. Open, respectful communications are key.

The sooner we can do this the better.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Inhale and exhale for a while “Why don’t you go read a book or play outside or something?”

Growing up in the 50s and 60s you never heard a parent say this to a child.

That would be like saying, “Why don’t you go inhale and exhale for a while?”

Without giving in to sentimentality about the good old days, there just weren’t the electronic activity alternatives there are today. It wasn’t even unusual to have no TV in the home: many people had radio and newspapers, magazines and books for information and entertainment.

Whether you enjoy reading or not is based on more than the era of your birth.

However, having books and book readers in the home has a huge impact on whether a child grows up reading for pleasure.

grandparent to thank — for reading the entire Black Stallion series on long road trips, the Anne of Green Gables books on rainy afternoons or actually reading Where the Wild Things Are 11,000, complete with all the voices.

It’s great to have a national literacy week in Canada.

It’s also ironic that we seem to have no real comprehensive literacy plan, and that literacy programs are usually held together by partial government grants and supported solely by volunteers.

So, thank you to the initiatives that promote and celebrate literacy and raise awareness about its importance.

Thank you to the teachers who work to give children the best literacy skills possible and thank you, most of all, to the parents who help generate a love of reading for generations to come.

Even if it means reading Green Eggs and Ham a million more times.

ust when you think politics in BC can’t get any weirder…

Last week, the BC Liberals held a $125-a-ticket political fundraiser in Calgary. Premier Clark may have picked a fight with Alberta’s Premier over the Enbridge pipeline, but Alberta’s business elite publicly admitted they are more afraid of the NDP than they are the Liberal Premier.

The premier’s justification for going out of province to fundraise is that Alberta business leaders have a vested interest in BC politics and they have the right to protect that interest with their MLA m o n e y.

That raMusings tionalBob Simpson ization proves political donations are to buy influence, providing more evidence that we must reform our election finance laws.

The NDP’s response to this fundraiser was to confirm that they too accept out-of-province donations.

BC elections should only be influenced by BC voters. That principle should apply to both votes and political donations. Only BC residents and only individuals (not corporations or unions) should be allowed to donate to BC’s political parties.

BC’s political weirdness continued with the announcement that as much as $12 million of taxpayer money will be spent to host a Bollywood awards gala within weeks of the provincial election in May. The claimed potential return to the BC economy: as little as $13 million, little more than we’ll invest in the event. The South Asian community is a large and growing voting bloc in urban and suburban BC. This is clearly an attempt to use your tax money to buy those votes.

The NDP’s response to the cost of this event was lackluster compared to their criticism of government advertising. They want to attract the South Asian vote too, so they’re not attacking the fundamental question of whether hosting the Times of India Movie Awards is an appropriate way to spend tax money.

It’s no wonder people don’t like paying taxes: British Columbians’ hard-earned money is being spent on events they could never afford to attend, even as public services are being cut by a government that claims it’s broke. Tax money should be spent on public services, not galas for BC’s and India’s elites.

Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints

Look to where the money is The life and times of many North Americans is legend and not all of them achieved status as heroes or good guys; equally as many (or more) attained infamy as crooks, cheats, liars, scammers or robbers making assorted bad guys or gals legendary for their character and sensational crimes.

Willie Sutton was one of the latter, on the list as one of the most prolific bank robbers in the history of the U.S. He eluded capture for many years before he was finally arrested and convicted. At the sentencing, the presiding judge queried, “Willie, why do you keep robbing banks.”

The response was immediate, “Because that’s where the money is, judge.”

Raoul Baxter of meating-place. com used that exchange to empha-

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan size the thought that the U.S. (Canada) beef industry (major players in a rapidly expanding world economy) would do well to adopt a version of that mantra — look to where the money is.

China is now a major economic power and as income levels of the average citizen rise pressures on (quality) food production also increase and the Chinese will be unable (according to industry-analysts) to self-produce enough food/protein to feed themselves — at least in the

short/medium term.

The U.S. (Canada) is presently one of the foremost suppliers of agricultural products to China, although the Chinese will certainly continue to hedge their bets (as would any big market-player) by sourcing their needs from various other countries at the same time.

So, as the Canadian beef-industry focuses on the large market in the east (Japan, South Korea, Singapore and China) which represent 1.6 billion consumers (approx.) with money we must recognize that there are many competitive beef-producing countries eying the same opportunity and take nothing for granted by remaining aggressive in the market place, where nothing ever remains the same and operate (deal) with integrity to keep favour.

Solutions need to be found Editor:

As Canadians consider the “Idle No More Movement,” many wonder exactly what is the best way to deal with the Native Canadian’s various demands.

There is little question most would like to see all Canadians learn to live in peace with each other.

As a person that has spent a number of years working in many Native communities one problem that I see that cannot easily be resolved is the location of many of these communities.

Often these locations are remote, some isolated, with the original purpose of the location of some of these communities almost lost to history.

Native communities often were located close to the then life sustaining and supporting environment and life style that had adequately served generations of Natives over hundreds of years.

Life expectancy in such communities depended on the successful search of food. As we see in the wild animal world when there is a sustainable source of food, animals thrive and populations multiply.

Historically so it would also apply to Native populations.

Without an adequate supply of food, mothers cannot provide for infants and many children die in infancy with no record of these lives lost.

An example is the Central Coast Natives of 1793 — Alexander Mackenzie’s time — thrived on

Letters aLways weLcome

www.wltribune.com A7

the making and the use of ooligan grease. Today the ooligans are no longer coming.

In another era and time many infants would succumb to the inability of a community to provide the required nourishment to support these young lives.

Today, generally speaking, with a dependable source of food supply, coupled with improved housing, health, welfare and education, populations are growing in many of these remote communities; these growing populations cannot any longer be sustained in an ancestral manner.

Here lies the government’s problem — providing for the growing needs of these remote communities.

Over time these needs could break the financial back of a country unless some long-term solution can be found. As much as a government is blamed for failing to meet the needs of Native communities, it basically comes down to allocating available sources of federal Income.

Without a continuous growing federal economy a government has to end up, as the old saying goes, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Sadly, almost all Native communities are against the very economic development that is necessary to sustain the needs of their communities.

City should await environmental approval of mine Editor: The following letter was sent to the mayor and council of Williams Lake, dated Jan. 20, 2013.

We appreciate that Williams Lake city council passed a motion in September, 2012, giving only conditional support to Taseko’s proposed Prosperity Mine at Fish Lake.

Therefore, we respectfully ask that city council await environmental approval by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency panel and adequate consultation with First Nations before taking a final position on

this project.

Given the wide range of opinions about the “New Prosperity” mine proposal among the citizens of Williams Lake, we request that city council: - make it clear in public statements that council’s support depends on the project’s meeting environmental standards, and full consultation with First Nations.

Publicity from city hall does not always express this caveat.

- refrain from making a submission to the federal review panel about the suitability of the mine proposal, - refrain from lobbying other

levels of government to approve this proposal from Taseko Mines Ltd. - investigate all sides of the issues raised by the “New” Prosperity mine proposal, including: - the marginal economics of the mineral ore body - First Nations traditions and Aboriginal rights in the area - the full environmental and socio-economic impacts of the proposed mine We would welcome any opportunity to share what we have learned about this project.

We have been studying assessments done by scientists at Fish-

eries and Oceans Canada, Ministry of the Environment and some of Taseko’s own consultants, as well as the panel’s documents identifying inadequacies in the current Environmental Impact Statement.

Many of these are available at our website.

We also look forward to presenting some of this information to council in the near future.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Sincerely, Jenny Noble for the Fish Lake Alliance

Williams Lake Atom Development Hockey Tournament

Greg Sabatino photo

Williams Lake Bantam Female Rep Timberwolves player Calissa Broomfield skates up ice during the first of two regular season meetings with the Prince George Bantam Female Cougars last Saturday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

The T-wolves lost the first game, 2-1, but bounced back to win 6-3 later in the day, giving them home ice advantage for the playoffs, set to begin mid-February.

Stamps start playoffs Saturday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The stage is now set for the first round of the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs.

The Williams Lake Stampeders, who wrapped up its 18-game season Jan. 12 in first place in the CIHL’s East Division and third overall, will meet the sixth-seed Lac La Hache Tomahawks in a best-of-three series.

Game one of the series goes this Saturday, Jan. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Lac La Hache’s Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena. Game two and, if necessary, game three are scheduled for Feb. 2-3 in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Williams Lake finished the season with a 12-5-1 record, while Lac La Hache started their campaign strong but went on to lose its last 10

games to finish 6-11-1.

Both teams present some dangerous offensive weapons with Williams Lake’s Nathan Zurak (2114-35) and Lac La Hache’s Wilfred Robbins (16-18-34), Robin Gilbert (20-10-30) and Drew Rose (6-2329) finishing in the top six in league scoring.

Stampeders general manager Kelly Kohlen said he expects it should be a good series. He added Williams Lake won four of the five regular season meetings between the two clubs.

“If we can stay out of the penalty box and play our game we’ll be OK,” Kohlen said. “We’ve got a couple of guys with injuries but most everyone is ready to go.”

Williams Lake will be missing players Mike Kohlen, Tyrel Lucas and Jhed Gerrior to injuries.

Kohlen noted the team will need

to be sharp defensively in order to be successful.

“We’ve got to smarten up defensively a bit,” he said. “We have the players to do it but we’ve got to tighten it up a bit on the defensive end and not allow so many offensive opportunities. And I think if we do that and capitalize on our scoring chances we’ll be good.”

The two teams are no strangers to one another as several current Lac La Hache Tomahawks players played for the Stampeders before the team entered the league two years ago.

Tomahawks netminder Willie Sellars, who played several seasons with the Stamps, said he’s expecting a close series.

“Lots of goals and lots of saves,” Sellars said. “The rivalry has been heated between both teams and even though we’re on a bit of a skid

anything can happen in the playoffs.

“We’re actually very pumped and excited to play the Stamps in the first round because, honestly, both rinks feel like our home rink.”

The last several games between the two clubs has resulted in both arenas filling up with fans.

“We probably have more fans in Williams Lake because the rink is a lot warmer.

“But continuing on that note the atmosphere in both rinks is going to be great and anyone who doesn’t come watch is going to miss out on the best hockey players in our area going head to head.”

Other first-round matchups include the first-seed Smithers Steelheads taking on the Houston Luckies, the Kitimat Ice Demons meeting the Terrace River Kings and the Quesnel Kangaroos versus the Omineca Ice.

Williams Lake atom players will get a chance to show their stuff on home ice when the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association hosts its Atom Development Tournament. For teams and more information check a future Tribune.

Stampede dinner and auction goes Feb. 9 Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampede Association is hoping for another packed house at this year’s 23rd Annual Williams Lake Stampede Dinner, Dance and Auction.

The event, scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 9 at the Elks Hall, will feature a cocktail hour, a dinner, both a silent and live auction and live entertainment.

Auctioneers Wilf and Al Smith will be on hand once again to keep the action flowing, while several other fun games are planned for throughout the evening.

Those include a loonie toss — where participants attempt to throw loonies into a hat — and the wild heads and tails game.

Fred Thomas, Williams Lake Stampede Association president, said the game, added to the auction by Stampede association director Liz Crosina a couple of years ago, has added

a lot of fun to the event.

“Basically it’s done with hats,” Thomas said. “Once everyone decides in the position they want their hat to be in — either on their head or on their backside — they flip a coin and depending where you’ve got your hat you’re either eliminated or you stay in the game.”

The winner of the heads and tails game will receive a Coors Light beer fridge, filled with Coors Light.

At 9 p.m. the dancing is set to begin when local artist Clancy Wright and the Silverados will take the stage.

The dinner, set to begin at 6 p.m., is being catered by the Ladies of the Royal Purple.

The emcee for the evening will be longtime Stampede director Willie Crosina.

Additionally, the Stampede royalty will be on hand, as will City councillor Surinderpal Rathor, to help out with the auction and other games.

Thomas said the Stampede association Sharing a basket of friendship is currently fundraiswith you and your new family ing for a number of upgrades and additions to the Stampede Grounds.

My most recently read book is The Bone Cage

by Angie Abdou.

My favourite book from childhood is And To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss.

What I loved about And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street: I have many favourite

childhood books, but this one has followed me into adulthood.

As Marcos leaves on his way to school, his father reminds him to keep his eyes open to see what he can see.

What Marco sees is a horse and wagon (it’s an old book, first published in 1937). Not very exciting, or is it?

As we follow Marcos through the book, each

page reveals something new he has added to this simple horse and wagon; it takes on a life of its own and becomes something fun and fantastical.

The pictures are bright, busy, fun, and far out.

This story really reflects the wonderful imagination and creativity we possess as children.

We create these fan-

tasy worlds in our heads and often do not have the language to do our fantasy justice in words.

And sometimes we don’t want to share our fantasies either, especially when we see that adults just don’t get it — like Marco’s father.

Why I would recommend it: When you revisit this book as a parent, it serves as a reminder to honour

THE GMC 0 NEW YEAR START-UP $7,000 FINANCE UP TO

the sometimes whacky, but always wonderful, imagination of children and to enter into their fantasy with them.

I have often used this book in my adult and family literacy programs.

We use it as a format to create our own fantastical stories.

It’s also a great way to while away the hours on a long road trip.

Literacy Week kicked off with song Greg Sabatino photo

Lakecity musician/singer/ songwriter LeRae Haynes joined the kick-off to Literacy Week at the Williams Lake Library last Saturday morning by having participants sing and play instruments along with her.

The event included games, 15 minutes of reading fun, and a special presentation by author Victoria Greenley and Illustrator Raylene Hale showcasing their new book I Don’t Like My Grumpy Face.

The library hosts Storytime from 10:30 to 11 a.m. with parent participation on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Fridays the event includes crafts. At a recent Storytime children learned all about penguins from books, singing, rhymes, counting and then did a colouring page and put together a penguin using various shapes!

The Hobbit a childhood favourite read Kirsten Stark Special to The Tribune My most recently read book is called Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. My favourite book from childhood is The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien.

What I loved about The Hobbit: Before Frodo there was Bilbo, the first extraordinary hobbit that we meet from the world of Middle Earth.

Hobbits are generally known for being sensible, unadventurous and respectable, so much to his own surprise Bilbo embarks on a journey with Thorin and his band

of dwarves.

Away from the quiet rolling hills of the Shire, Bilbo must learn to live on his wits and overcome many challenges. Along the way he encounters trolls, giant spiders, elves and a particularly dangerous dragon called Smaug.

Bilbo also meets a creature called Gollum and becomes the new owner of a curious ring that will change his life forever.

Growing up in England, I was surrounded by the types of hedges, forests and rivers that Bilbo adventured through.

As a family we would walk in the hills, cross streams, climb

rock faces and occasionally have to fight through spiders webs.

Just like Bilbo we used our wits and returned home safely from our adventures. When Bilbo does return home he discovers that some of his relatives, believing him to be dead are trying to claim rights over his home and belongings.

Why I would recommend it: Bilbo’s adventure reminds us that courage and knowledge overcome fear and that by stepping into unfamiliar territory we can gain much wisdom and experience. Perhaps Tolkien’s book has inspired me more than I thought.

After all, the Cariboo is a long way from and very different to Cumbria (England).

Along my journey there were many exciting places and new friends.

As a child my imagination travelled though Middle Earth with Bilbo and as an adult my willingness to embrace the unknown has taken me on many adventures of my own!

Kirsten Stark is the literacy outreach worker for Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

She enjoys reading and encourages others to enjoy the timehonoured pastime.

REACH A READER

PAL co-ordinator reviews Moloka’i Janette Moller Special to The Tribune My most recently read book is Moloka’i

by Alan Brennert.

What I loved about it: This story is magical, as soon as you start reading you do not want to stop. In the beginning one would believe that it is going to tell the story of a little girl dealing with the imprisonment of acquiring leprosy.

For sure it does, however, there is so much more, your imagination will run rampant as you continue your journey

through the story. The beauty of the Hawaiian Islands and especially the island of Moloka’i as described throughout the story will in itself grab your attention. The story is about a little girl age seven who finds a rose colored mark on her body, is quickly told that she will be transferred to the island of Moloka’i and quarantined where her life will end. Instead she finds that her life there is just the beginning. It is the story of how people can make the best of a desperate

situation when there is no other choice. How we learn to be strong, and in fact embrace the life we are granted.

You will cheer, cry, and laugh as you read this wonderful story, and it keeps you wondering and wishing for Rachel until the end.

Why I would recommend it: Brennert shows the reader how when having to face adversity we can conquer and move forward. He writes with such compassion for the characters in the story.

The book will show you

that no matter how hard life is one can gain a new family and a sense of community. In the end, Rachel discovered that strength, humour, and determination changed how she felt about suffering with the presence of the hated enemy leprosy.

I loved this book It took you through her journey and how she accepted and dealt with her life as it was within her ravaged body.

Janette Moller is the Partner Assisted Learning co-ordinator for Williams Lake area.

Impact of pine beetle epidemic explored by graduate student The effects of the most recent mountain pine beetle epidemic are all too familiar to residents of B.C. On Wednesday, Feb. 6 starting at 7:30 p.m. the Scout Island Nature House will host a presentation on the impact of the pine beetle epidemic by Wyatt Klopp a masters student at

the University of British Columbia Okanagan, who is currently enrolled in the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies graduate program at the University of Northern British Columbia.

Klopp worked as a teacher/naturalist at Scout Island Nature Centre in the summers

of 2008 and 2009.

“We’re excited to hear this presentation from Wyatt Klopp, a former summer staffer at Scout Island,” says Jenny Noble, Scout Island Nature Centre coordinator. “He is doing some important graduate work on potential energy from beetlekilled pine, and he’s

coming to tell us about it.”

She says the unprecedented magnitude and severity of the attack will continue to impact society, the economy and the environment for decades to come. While many recall the sea of red-staged pine stands and the vulnerability of the forest industry, this

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)

Secrets to winning potato dish shared by the chef Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Monday night I won the Potato Potluck cook off contest at the Potato House Society’s annual general meeting, with my grated home-grown potato/cheese baked dish.

It must have been the organic Yalakom garlic and touch of Yalakom squash that pushed it over the edge. Or maybe the organic spiced feta cheese from Goertz Gouda, or organic shallot onions from Mackin Creek Farm. I don’t know.

The dash of homegrown basil might have helped, or the squeeze

of half a lime, or the final topping of grated feta and cheddar, I don’t know.

Maybe all of the above baked long and slow in my cast iron pot. In contests such as these it always bodes well to vote for your own dish. But that’s a secret ingredient I hesitate to tell.

Ingredients as above: 1) Peel and grate four large potatoes into a large mixing bowl.

2) To the grated potato add two diced shallot onions; two large cloves of garlic chopped up small; half a cup of steamed honey squash; half a cup of grated spiced feta cheese; the

juice of half a lime.

3) Mix well.

4) Heat a cast iron Dutch oven on the burner of your stove until it is quite hot, then add a generous dollop of butter.

Once the butter has melted, add your grated potato mixture topped with some dried basil and salt and pepper to taste, and another generous dollop of butter.

Bake in a 300 degree oven for an hour with the Dutch oven covered.

5) Remove your dish from the oven and sprinkle on top another half cup of grated spiced gouda, along with some grated ched-

dar cheese for colour, taste and texture.

6) Place the dish back in the oven for 15 minutes with the cover removed.

The success of your dish will always be enhanced by the quality of the ingredients you use.

Mine happen to mostly be organic, grown with loving hands in the bioregion extending from Lillooet (garlic and squash) to Salmon Arm (organic cheese), to Mackin Creek (onions), to my own backyard (potatoes & basil).

I bought the cheddar, butter and lime in the grocery store. I purchased the feta at our local grower’s co-op.

Fish Lake Alliance presentation Jan. 31 The Fish Lake Alliance is holding a free public presentation on the New Prosperity Mine project on Thursday, Jan. 31 starting at 7 p.m. at the Salvation Army Hall in Williams Lake.

The alliance presentation will inform people why so many people have concerns about the mine.

The agenda includes First Nations welcome and drumming, and speakers TNG’s Mining Manager J.P. LaPlante and Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste.

LaPlante and Baptiste will discuss problems with Taseko’s latest proposal for a copper-gold mine at Fish Lake in the

Cariboo.

“The public is welcome, but be advised that this event is not intended as a debate,” states the press release issued by Jenny Noble.

“The pro-mine side has had many opportunities to make their case, and now it is time to air the other side of the story.”

The release also advises the public to watch for a moderated forum later this winter.

The Fish Lake Alliance is a coalition of concerned citizens, businesses and community groups. For more information go to www.fishlakealliance.ca or fishlake alliance@yahoo.ca.

Long-time Cariboo Chilcotin educator June Striegler is still hard at work promoting literacy and learning in her community at 92 years of age.

Married to a rancher, she was both a teacher and a principal during her long career, and describes living in a log house with a dirt floor and riding to get groceries with her baby son on the saddle.

She began teaching in Springhouse in 1939 when she was 19 years old, and moved to Clinton as principal of a three-room school in 1941.

She taught at Alexis Creek, was principal at Lac La Hache for 16 years, 150 Mile for three years, Marie Sharpe for four years, and after being transferred to Poplar Glade for two years, took a leave of absence for a year and went to the Philippines.

“After that year I came back to the Cariboo, quit my job with the School District and went back to the Philippines to teach kids whose parents worked for Gibraltar Mine’s parent company, and was Education Director for the island of Marinduqui for about eight years,” she said, adding that she also went to Africa to work in Liberia heading up a team of teachers. “The rest of the team went home and I stayed, working at the University of Liberia in teacher training for several weeks.”

While on a holiday in Mexico she was contacted by the School District and told that Tatla Lake School needed a

Long-time Cariboo educator June Striegler is still busy helping promote literacy in the region and helping adults with reading problems as a PAL volunteer.

principal.

“I went out there for several weeks and then ended up teaching at Columneetza for about seven years when I was 60 years old,” she continued.

“I also worked in Nemiah Valley for over a year and was principal at Crescent Heights.”

When she was 80 years old, she officially retired and began working with Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy, and has been involved with ‘Partner Assisted Learning’ (PAL) since 2002.

June is an avid reader, enjoying things like philosophy, science and mathematics. She sews and designs clothing, does most of the cooking and

gardening for her family, and friends say she is wonderful to travel with because she is both knowledgeable and curious.

She is an accomplished pianist — she picked the piano up again when she was about 75 years old.

She researches the composers to find out their histories, characteristics and motivations so as to play their music the way that they intended it to be played.

June Striegler calls herself a “world traveler” and a “frustrated archeologist” and says that she’s now looking into “the reason for being.”

She explained that she thoroughly enjoys working with

PAL, adding that it is offered to people with low literacy levels.

“We’re staffed with a fulltime and a part-time co-ordinator and by trained volunteers who spend two hours a week with people 18 and older who have literacy issues,” she explained.

“This covers everything from people who can’t read at all to people wanting to upgrade to get into university.”

Working with PAL is deeply satisfying to her.

“Just before Christmas one of my students completed his entrance requirements for the Emily Carr University,” she said. “He was with us for one

year.”

Another ‘learner’, as she calls them, was with the program for eight years.

“I took him from Grade 4 to the end of Grade 12,” she added. “I’ve worked with people from age 18 to age 50 and even older.

“Canada is really missing the point. We are a top developing country with no comprehensive literacy plan,” she continued. “Instead, we have unpaid volunteers holding up the whole structure.”

She said that PAL is desperate for volunteers.

“The people we have are marvelous, but we need more tutors,” she stated. “All it takes is the desire to help people and some brief training.”

Improving people’s literacy skills and confidence has an enormous impact on their selfesteem.

“We take the time to talk to them and get to know them and what their interests are and what their problems might be,” she continued.

“They were probably told at one time that they were stupid and that makes it hard for them to reach out.

“Their personal growth is absolutely tremendous as their self-esteem increases — their posture, grooming and health are all affected,” she said. “It’s truly profound.

“I’m 92 years old and I go out of here every day with more than I brought in.”
