Proudly serving Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin since 1930
Mine explosion unplanned Shortly before noon Friday, Mar. 8, there was a minor unscheduled detonation at the Gibraltar Mine northeast of Williams Lake. “This occurred when an excavator dug into an undetonated blast hole,” Brian Battison, vice-president of communications Taseko Mines Ltd., confirmed. “There were no injuries and no equipment damage of any consequence. It was appropriately handled by mine personnel at the time and the inspector of mines was notified and attended in person prior to releasing the equipment back to operations later that day.” An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway and all appropriate caution to prevent a reoccurrence is being taken.

While the official search for Gary Price was stood down last Thursday, the Williams Lake RCMP continue to investigate his disappearance. Sixty-year old Price, who lives at Yanks Peak in the Likely area, was reported missing to police on March 3 by a family member. He was last seen on Feb. 28. Investigators would like to speak to any person who was at the Yanks Peak parking lot (Powder Kings Snowmobile Club trails) on Saturday, Feb. 23 or Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013. Gary Price collected trail user fees at the Yanks Peak parking lot on behalf of the snowmobile club and had frequent interaction with
snowmobilers at that location. He drove a recognizable white 1996 Chevrolet Silverado with a blue canopy and an aluminum boat rack on the box, the RCMP said. “There are people who were in or near Likely during this time who probably saw Mr. Price or his truck,” said Const. Dan Hay. “It is very important we speak with these people, even if they do not believe they saw anything related to Mr. Price’s disappearance.” When the search was stood down, Insp. Warren Brown said the RCMP worked with Search and Rescue during the search, employing all available resources. Central Cariboo Search and Rescue search chief Allen Schaad said volunteers from his group as well as the South Cariboo Search and Rescue from 100 Mile House par-
ticipated in the effort. “There was a mix over the five days with three to eight from each group coming together, as well as a few people from the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club.” The snowmobile club has the skills and the “large investment” in good equipment and know the mountains and the trails, Schaad said. “We use them as a resource in these situations.” The primary search area centred on the roads and roadsides. Price lives out at Yanks Peak and is the person who checks other snowmobilers to ensure they have paid up their memberships to access the trails. “We also went door-to-door in the Likely area asking residents if they had seen anything. Unusual
footprints, dogs barking at unusual times of day or whether they saw someone where they wouldn’t expect them to be,” Schaad explained, adding they checked barns and tool sheds to make sure he wasn’t lost. Schaad said there are 45 volunteers presently signed up for the CCSR with all available area Search and Rescue and RCMP resources. He has been involved for 17 years in Williams Lake and his latest term for chief is a three-year term, set to expire at the end of March, 2013. Witnesses and associates of Gary Price are asked to attend the Williams Lake RCMP Detachment at 575 Borland Street or call Cst. Hay at 250-392-8714. Information relating to a crime can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
fringe area residents until Dec. 31. The agreement is based on a flat fee of $579,221 covering the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013. Around 1,600 residences make up the rural fringe area that receive fire protection services from the Williams Lake fire department. Other rural residents are serviced by rural-based fire de-
partments. In a joint press release, both parties noted they have agreed to discontinue legal proceedings with no costs awarded to either party, and that both parties will explore their options for the provision of fire protection services in the future. Total operation costs for the
Williams Lake fire department in 2011 and billed for in 2012, were $2,068,413 of which $512,500 is the loan repayment for the fire hall. In 2011, the city collected approximately $727,000 for fire protection services from rural residents, and the city paid approximately $1.34 million.

New Prosperity interested party list grows Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Twenty additional applicants have been granted interested party status in the environmental panel review of the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine, 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake. Even though the applications were received beyond the Sept. 28 deadline, panel chair Bill Ross noted in a letter dated Mar. 8, the new applications were considered in light of the panel’s
mandate and terms of reference. That brings the number of individuals and organizations with interested party status to 49, in addition to the proponent, Taseko Mines Ltd., 11 federal and provincial government agencies, and 14 First Nations who were already guaranteed interested party status and did not need to apply. Because the dates for the public hearings have yet to be set, Ross said the panel believes it can accommodate the additional parties.

Kitchens that work, so you don’t have to.
“However, since the review may soon proceed to the hearing phase, the panel will not accept any further late applications for interested party status.” Among those added to the list are Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook, Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom and 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall. Others are Wayne McCrory on behalf of the Valhalla Wilderness Society and the Valhalla Foundation for Ecology, South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce, Dennis Chris-

Ross said the panel hearings will not occur in either Quesnel or 100 Mile House, however people can attend the hearings in Williams Lake or submit a written response. “Participants who simply wish to make an oral presentation in the hearing do not need to register as an interested party,” Ross noted. Instead they may register to make an oral presentation in the general or community hearing sessions once dates and places have been set.

City council approves per diem increase Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city council recently approved an increase in the travel meal allowance to a maximum of $80 a day for council, management and all staff. Prior to the increase, the rate was set at $60
plus taxes in 2005. The new rate of $80, includes taxes. During recent negotiations with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 882B that represents unionized workers in the city, the union asked the city to bring forward an increase in per diem
rates. The union’s service representative John Dube said members were having to pay out of pocket when away on courses or training in bigger centres. Per diem rates do not fall under the union’s collective agreement, and have to be set by
council. The $80 maximum breaks down into $15 for breakfast, $20 for lunch, $35 for dinner and $10 for incidentals. “This increase to meal allowances is below the provincial average among similar sized municipalities,” Mayor Cook said, adding the
city did a comparison to 23 other municipalities in the province. The average was between $75 and $85. Closer to home, the Cariboo Regional District confirmed its directors may utilize a per diem rate of a maximum of $90 per day if travel requires going out-of-
district and staying overnight. The CRD rate is $20 for breakfast, $25 for lunch, $35 for dinner and $10 for incidentals. If the period of travel includes partial days, the per diem is prorated, as is the city’s. The CRD per diem bylaw was adopted in
2011 and amended in 2012. Council made the decision to increase the rate after considering a report from staff during an in-camera meeting held Feb. 26 and released the information with the agenda of its regular council meeting Mar. 5.

NEWS St. Joseph Mission commemoration set for April 26
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Plans are falling into place for the St. Joseph Mission residential school commemoration project. Speaking to the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, Esk’etemc (Alkali Lake) Chief Fred Robins said the project deals with the impacts and effects from the residential school. The school was in operation from 1891 to 1981. Robbins, a residential school survivor, arrived at the school when he was seven years old, remaining there until it closed. Pointing to the exit signs in the meeting room at Signal Point Gaming Centre, he said if the lights went out, he would be found cowering in the corner. “Hearing the door latch at an exit sign means sexual abuse to me because I knew something was coming through the doors to sexually abuse me.” The residential school experience continues to impact First Nations in the region. Robbins said there are 600 survivors living in and around Williams Lake. “There are a number of events happening this spring. The commemoration of St. Joseph Residential School will provide foundation for ongoing shared work of healing and reconciliation in the Cariboo region.” Events will include a kick-off on April 26 during a School District 27 professional development day. On May 16 and 17 there will be a twoday conference held at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus. The dedication of two monuments — one at the former residential school site and one in Boitanio Park — will also take place. “One at the residential school site will com-

The one in the park will be dedicated to the shared journey.” Following the conference, there will be a reunion May 18 and 19 of former residential school students. An inclusive planning committee comprised of former students, First Nations chiefs, councillors, tribal councils, municipal and regional government leaders and staff, educators from the school district and TRU, and the RCMP, has been working to co-ordinate the project. Initial funds of $50,000 are being provided by the federal truth and reconciliation commission for the project. Since then additional funds have come in from the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition for $50,000 and Interior Health for $50,000. “We have enough funds to cover the cost of two monuments and enough funds to cover the cost of our guest speakers: National Chief Shawn Atleo, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, Grand Chief Ed John and Regional Chief Jody Wilson-Ray-
bould,” Robbins said. “We also have Justice Murray Sinclair from the Truth and Reconcili-
ation Commission coming to do a presentation about reconciliation and what it means to First Nations.” Robbins described the project is a one-ofa-kind commemoration on reconciliation simply because it’s the only one across Canada that includes non-First Nations to be active participations. It is hoped that a given day will be proclaimed Residential School Day for recognition, he said. “There are individuals out there who cannot speak about their experiences. You may see them on a regular basis and you may even be working with them,” he told the chamber. “You may sell them a car or a loaf of bread, but at the end of the day you don’t know what this person has lived through.” Robbins did credit his teacher at the residential
school for giving him a good education. “I sat up front because I didn’t know any other children and there was this beautiful lady with long flowing hair. She never beat me, she never hit me, she never assaulted me in any way,” he recalled. When he first became chief the children in the community gave him a cup with the words “world’s greatest teacher.” “I took that cup and I found that teacher. Her name was Miss Sale,” he said. “As soon as she stepped through the door, she said ‘Fred, Fred Lulua?’ this lady that I hadn’t seen for 40 years remembered my name. He gave her
the cup, told her she deserved it more than he did and thanked her for everything she taught him. It’s a positive story about the education, but the school where
they housed him held so much pain and anguish, that it’s the place he wants to forget. Something he said he can’t do without the help of other residential school survivors. Robbins said.

Sharing stories about eating disorders helps recovery Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Karen Wall knows all about disordered eating. A co-ordinator and director of the Vancouverbased non-profit Looking Glass Foundation, an open non-judgemental online forum for people struggling with eating disorders, Wall also suffered from eating disorders and anorexia for eight years, beginning at the age of 13. “After I went through recovery and treatment, I started volunteering with Looking Glass with fundraising and promoting, putting up little booths at my university,” Wall said. “When they started the online support group I volunteered there for four years.” As a facilitator she talks to people from age 16 to mid-60s who are dealing with disordered eating, whether diagnosed or not. “It was a combination of support groups and counselling that helped me,” Wall recalled. She was one of five people who participated in a panel discussion held during National Eating Disorders Week hosted by the Women’s Contact Society in Williams Lake on Feb. 28. Dr. Glen Fedor, also part of the panel, said he first became interested in eating disorders because he had a sister-in-law who was bulimic in the 1970s when there wasn’t much help. “She kept phoning me for advice and I started learning a little bit more.”
He arrived in Williams Lake 32 years ago and about 20 years ago he acquired a contract to work with children and youth involved with eating disorders. “The basics of health are eating, exercise and sleep. They are all connected,” Fedor said. Tracey Lee, a child and youth therapist with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, works with high risk young girls. “Often whether it’s a parent that has an eating disorder or a child, you don’t really know until you get involved,” Lee said. “We’re starting to see a lot more kids coming to our attention at the ministry with child and youth that have disordered eating.” Sue Peterson has worked at MCFD and at Thompson Rivers University. “Most of my work in counselling has been around trauma,” she said. “I think we’re living in a more complex society than we ever were before and families are under more pressure.” Molly Yochman, a health and addictions counsellor at Soda Creek, personally struggled with eating disorders, but wouldn’t classify them as anorexia or bulimia. Hers would be more about over exercising and under eating to different extremities. “In regards to education I’ve taken a few different courses regarding eating disorders specifically and have worked with some individuals

The first was whether eating disorders are becoming more of a problem because of media? Holding a stack of women’s magazines, Fedor said he’d done his homework to see what people are faced with. “These are strategically placed at the checkout counter.” He read out some of the headlines: “Lose weight eating five foods you can have a whole bowl of. The three words you must never say to a guy, ‘I am fat.’ Love carbs and lose 15 pounds. Look slimmer without dieting. Mindful eating, you should know it and try it so here’s how. Suddenly slim. Your dream body in three weeks. Lose 12 pounds this month, fast, safe for good.” Lee said media is out

there and most people on TV are size five weighing 100 pounds. “I wasn’t that in Grade 4,” she recalled. “I don’t buy magazines and I don’t own a scale. It starts young with our babies and us telling them how fabulous they are.” Wall said so often girls in magazines are portrayed with their heads down, their eyes closed, or the mouths covered. “They are portrayed very shy and cut off, unable to speak their mind. Again even for men in the magazines, you see guys who have zero hair on their body, or look like they’ve been in the army for years, with tight little underwear. I think a large increase in the eating disorders of males has had an impact from media,” she suggested. A second question asked about treatment options to which Wall said there are options, but often those depend on location. There are beds at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver and the Looking Glass has opened up a treatment centre on Galileo Island but it’s very expensive, she added. Yochman said Overeaters Anonymous is a
good support and is open to everyone - all eating disorders. Peterson said proper assessment and seeing a doctor are key, and seeing a nutritionist is a good start. The final question asked if it’s possible for someone with an eating disorder to recover on their own without professional help. Everyone agreed that was possible, but said it would depend on severity and a variety of factors. “People out there have their own resiliency and their own support networks. Professional help may not be what that person needs. Their strongest support might be their peers,” Peterson said. “I don’t know if you ever completely recover. You make ground, but I believe it’s something that you have for life and I believe with some helpful tools you can manage it,” Yochman said. Wall disagreed and said she thinks people can be fully recovered. “For me I would say I’m fully recovered. I have days that are more difficult than others, but other days when I don’t
even think about it. I eat food because I’m hungry. Part of the fact I can say I’m fully recovered come from the resources I received when I was in therapy with a nutritionist and my doctor.” Through that she learned how to structure her life so it doesn’t revolve around food and food doesn’t become an emotional issue she has to attack every day. Fedor said he strongly
believes that many people need to learn how to eat and enjoy a meal. “You go out there and notice how many people are eating standing up, in their car, in front of the TV. A few years ago at Children’s Hospital one of the first things doctors did was sit down and teach children how to eat. They didn’t do any therapy or drugs, just teach people how to eat again.”

Public opinion important
Meeting the needs of seniors
n these days of instant communication by e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, texting, etc. you’d think getting public opinion on any subject would be, well, instant. Apparently not. Example #1. Early in Mayor Cook’s first term, council embarked on an extensive campaign ( Community Sustainability Planning) seeking public input for an Official Community Plan. These consultations gave council a vision of the future. When it decided to get a French new plaConnection cebrand, Diana French council shared that information, then advertised in its newspaper pages and webpage to seek additional public input. It also hired a consultant, appointed a committee, and conducted personal surveys. What more could it do? Well, somehow, a whole lot of people missed it completely. One group that did venture an opinion a few months ago was told it was too late, deed done. Example # 2. The CEAA panel conducting the environmental assessment for the latest Prosperity Mine proposal set a deadline of Sept. 28, 2012 to apply for Interested Person Status. Anyone following the process should have known this, but somehow the municipalities of Quesnel, Williams Lake, and 100 Mile, plus a number of other interested parties, missed it. The panel accepted the latecomers. I don’t know if the WL council will accept late comments on the brand business but, my point is, just what do you have to do to get the public’s attention? *** Almost everyone has an opinion on the BC Liberal’s draft (daft?) plan for attracting votes from ethnic communities. Rafe Mair insists the Premier must have known about it and should resign. Sun columnist Craig McInnes says what’s the fuss, all B.C. governments have had scandals. Ujjal Dosanjh agrees but political pundit Norman Ruff says this brouhaha is “unique” in B.C. political scandalogy. Whatever, it seems every B.C. Government wears out its welcome after two terms. This current one did well lasting for three. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
bout two and a half weeks ago, our government introduced legislation for the creation of a new Seniors’ Advocate. This was one of the promises made in the Seniors Action Plan which our government wrote in February of last year. B.C. will be the first province in Canada to have a Seniors’ Advocate. Seniors need a strong voice who will ensure that their needs are met, and the Seniors’ Advocate will look after seniors’ needs in important areas like healthc a r e , MLA personal Musings c a r e , transporDonna Barnett tation, housing, and income support. The Seniors’ Advocate will examine any issues related to services for seniors and make recommendations for changes to policies and procedures. The new Seniors’ Advocate will have a great deal of autonomy, and will be able to choose his or her own work priorities. As a statutory officer appointed by Order in Council, the Seniors’ Advocate will function much like the provincial health officer, the auditor general for local government, or the comptroller general. The creation of the Seniors Advocate is just one of the many ways our government is looking out for seniors. Another recent initiative is the Elder Abuse Prevention Strategy, which was announced last week by our Minister of State for Seniors, Ralph Sultan. This strategy works to protect seniors from all forms of abuse, committing almost $1 million to initiatives like expanding the Seniors Abuse and Information Line (1-866-437-1940), creating information kits to help community groups and service providers identify and report abuse, creating a multi-sector Council to Reduce Elder Abuse, and much more. Our government is making sure that the needs of seniors are met. Here in Williams Lake, I’ve been trying to do my part as well, and I’m happy to say that last year Williams Lake opened a DriveABLE service, which allows older citizens to complete the assessment close to home. We know the importance of providing seniors with services tailored to their needs, and we will continue to make sure they get exactly that. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint
It’s not just a women’s problem Friday was International Women’s Day. The theme for 2013 was Working Together: Engaging Men to End Violence against Women, a theme that touches the lives of people from all age groups, ethnic backgrounds and economic classes, as well as both men and women. Overall, crime rates in Canada are falling. However, statistics show violence against women remains a serious problem. Consider the following statistics from the Canadian Women’s Foundation: • On any given day in Canada, more than 3,000 women — along with their 2,500 children — are living in emergency shelters to escape domestic violence; • Every six days a woman in Canada is murdered by her boyfriend or husband; • More than 40,000 arrests annually are a direct result of domestic violence, or about 12 per cent of all Canadian violent crime. Since only about 22 per cent of all incidents are reported, the real number is higher; • About 67 per cent of all Canadians personally know at least one woman who has been sexually or physically

assaulted; • In just one year, 427,000 women over the age of 15 in Canada reported they had been sexually assaulted. Only about 10 per cent are reported; and • About half of all Canadian women have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual abuse since age 16. Men have a vital role to play in ending violence against women. Much of it is about changing the attitudes of our peers. It is important to be a good role model, especially with children and young adults. Emphasize the importance of treating women and girls with respect. Offer support to victims of abuse and violence. Encourage them to get help. If you have a friend or family member who is abusive, call them out on it. Encourage them to face the roots of their own personal problems, which lead to the abuse. Don’t ignore what you see, or think it is none of your business. No one deserves to be a victim of abuse, physical violence or sexual assault. But they deserve to be helped. - Black Press

Reflecting on past mining spills
Editor:
Editor: Responding to past mining spills and environmental destruction in the Cariboo. There was a chemical spill from Gibraltar into the Fraser River waterways during the past 36 years. I am not aware of any data or testing that was done from that particular spill between McLeese Lake, Marguerite to Lillooet and on to Vancouver pertaining to fishing of the salmon. Fishing and dip-netting continued on in the Fraser River as it has for hundreds of years (thousands of years!). The Jack of Clubs Lake is still contaminated at Wells B.C. It was mined in 1929. The public is warned by public signage not to drink the water or eat the fish. One does not see boating or swimming action there when one drives by that particular lake or stops beside it at the information centre. The hillsides beside the Britannia Mine are still contaminated, since 1930 and cleanup is still being done today as the taxpayers are still footing the millions of dollars in cleanup costs from soil contamination. Yes, some mines do go their full life expectancy without a spill and some mine operating licenses are renewed after 30 years for a 60-year life expectancy, but there are examples of disasters that can never be rectified. Lives are lost, life cycles are destroyed, environments are lost. One has to study both sides of history and make an educated decision on what side they represent. Chris Hornby Williams Lake

Now that the high school reconfiguration decision has been made, we feel compelled to provide the public with a more balanced look at some of the issues that have been raised. 1. We agree that the district career development staff has worked hard to promote and expand career programs and to offer courses concurrently at TRU. However, these ACE-IT programs do not exist because of the proximity of Columneetza Secondary School to the TRU campus nor solely for Columneetza students. Students from the entire school district including PSO in 100 Mile have taken advantage of these programs.
While attending TRU, students are not attending high school, so proximity of their home schools to TRU has no bearing on whether or not they have “access” to ACE-IT programs. Any student or community member meeting the entrance criteria can be accepted into an ACE-IT program without having ever completed a shop course. There is no direct correlation between successful shop or career programs at one particular high school and the proximity to TRU as many students from all high schools have had access to and have been successful at their ACE-IT programs. 2. It has been noted that only five WLSS students take shop at Columneetza and many might wonder why.
It could be that Columneetza students register for shop courses first and then only if there is room, are students from other schools allowed to enrol. Meanwhile, the woodworking shop at WLSS is operating with 175 students. Clearly WLSS students are interested in and taking shop. In addition, 23 Columneetza students attend classes at WL and 12 WL students attend classes at Columneetza. These are not bussing issues nor have there been issues with students attending either school, as students are highly motivated when they have access to classes they need or desire. 3. The facilities at WLSS allow senior students to reach individual fitness goals, meet DPA
graduation requirements, and promote a commitment to lifelong physical activity. Senior hockey players in the hockey program will appreciate the close proximity of the arena, thus reducing the need for bussing. As well, the close location of the Williams Lake River Valley Trail, Concrete Fitness, bowling alley, pool and baseball diamonds, combined with the climbing wall and weight training/exercise area at WL, all correspond with a broader collection of physical activities for courses such as senior physical education and Sports and Recreation.

Voters should examine key issues Little Women Editor: Re: Our Viewpoint – Down for the Count? March 7, 2013. Ken Alexander made a great point in his March 7 editorial, when he said it would be unfortunate if the NDP wins the coming election based solely on the unpopularity of the Liberals. I completely agree, and that’s why I’m proud that Adrian Dix and the NDP team are committed to running a positive campaign built around practical steps to change B.C. for the better.
I encourage voters to examine our commitments on key issues, including: • Giving young people more access to education and skills training through a $100 million grant program, funded by restoring a capital tax on banks; • Diversifying our economy by strengthening tourism, agriculture, and a Buy BC program; • Better home care and community care for our seniors. We have committed to freezing tax increases on small business, but we will increase taxes on large cor-
porations by one per cent, to help pay for health care and other essential programs for British Columbians. During the election, the NDP will present a fully-costed platform that outlines what we will do, and how we will pay for it. I take nothing for granted in this election. I know that I have to earn support by presenting a positive vision for the future of our community. Charlie Wyse NDP Candidate Cariboo Chilcotin
CCCS expresses concerns about New Prosperity Mine proposal: Part 5 Editor: The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society (CCCS) would like to give its environmental perspective on Taseko Mines’ New Prosperity mine proposal. The 10 major concerns are broken down into five parts in order to meet Tribune guidelines for letter length. The following points are brought forward by CCCS director Bill Lloyd, and cover some of our concerns. Part 5 (9.) Potential Pollutants Specific to this Orebody Taseko’s Environmental Impact
Statement has not adequately addressed potential acid rock drainage specific to the orebody mineralization. Antimony, arsenic, mercury and selenium are of specific concern. Selenium in concentrations less than those found in this orebody have caused major problems elsewhere in the province. (10.) Lack of Commitment to the Process The Canadian Environmental Assessment Authority review process was designed to protect the environment and the taxpayer. Regulations specify that technical reports must
be conducted by an independent body, but Taseko’s latest technical reports are authored by one of the company’s own vice-presidents. The preceding are just a very few of the issues that need to be addressed extensively. These significant environmental issues must be assessed on facts and proper science, not politics.

a delightful play Editor:
Anybody who wants to catch a delightful musical play should line up their tickets as soon as possible for the Williams Lake Studio Theatre’s present offering of Little Women. You will not be disappointed with this one as long as you obtain tickets before they are gone. The cast works remarkably well together — especially considering that there are several actors who are new to being on stage. The directors receive bonus marks for casting Louisa May Alcott’s characters so well. They simply are a near seamless fit. The singing is generally strong and always endearing. Each character brings his or her own special offering to this whole, wonderful package. So get off the couch and take a sure bet in a padded, Glendale Elementary School Theatre seat for Little Women. PS: The orchestra for it is literally out of sight! Rocco Catalano Williams Lake

Manchur preparing for Boston Marathon Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer There was a time when Williams Lake resident Sheldon Manchur thought he might not ever be able to participate in any sort of strenuous physical activity again. Now, after overcoming Still’s disease — a long-term chronic disease resulting in joint pain and swelling — his way, he’s preparing to race this coming April in the world-famous Boston Marathon. Manchur, now 28, was diagnosed just following his Grade 12 year. “Right away the doctors were able to find a medication that worked for me, so as long as I was on the medication, which were a daily injection, I never had any problems,” he said. “Starting in the fall of 2010, I’d been on the medication at that point for eight or nine years, I wanted to try to get off it. It was something I didn’t want to be on for the rest of my life.” Unbeknownst to his doctor at the time, Manchur began to completely revamp his diet. He began eating a strictly raw fruits and vegetables diet. “I wouldn’t say I ate too unhealthily before, but it was very much a standard Canadian/ American diet with a lot of meat and potatoes, stuff like that,” he said. “Right away, within a week of switching, I was able to push back the medication treatments from going every day,
to every second or third day, and every week it got longer and longer.” By the time two months rolled around, on Jan. 1, 2011, Manchur took the last of his medication. “I haven’t taken another shot since then,” he said. “I was 100 per cent, everything was great but it didn’t make for very fun eating times, so I slowly started introducing other foods back into the diet, things I considered healthy like whole grains and some meats. What ended up being the problem was dairy seemed to be the trigger. “Now that I’ve cut out dairy I can eat a total wide variety of food. But, I learned a big lesson out of this — to stay eating healthy and just the most basic, whole food you can do.” Meanwhile, his doctor was less than impressed, he said. “I’d talked to them about diets before but they didn’t seem too interested,” he said. “After I’d stopped taking my medication I went to Kamloops to see my doctor, and I told her I hadn’t taken anything for three weeks and it’s because of this diet. She, unfortunately, wasn’t very happy with that and she was concerned. I guess that’s kind of where our relationship ended, and I haven’t gone back or needed to go back since.” Once healthy, Manchur quickly picked up where he’d left off. He’d been an active teenager prior to being diagnosed

I’d always played soccer and hockey but that ended after high school, but this was something I had interest in.” He started training for competitive half and full marathons last year, and competed in his first race, the Palm Springs Half Marathon, in February of 2012, crossing the finish line in one hour and 20 minutes in ninth place. Following that, he raced in the Vancouver Marathon in May, finishing in a time of two hours and 53 minutes. To train Manchur runs at the gym between seven to 10 miles Monday to Friday. On weekends he runs between 12 to 20 miles outside. To cap it off, this past February, he went back to the Palm Springs Half Marathon, finishing first

out of 900 runners in a time of one hour, 16 minutes and 49 seconds. It was his time at the Vancouver Marathon, however, that qualified him for the upcoming April 15 Boston Marathon. “That’s a big one — one of the bigger ones in the world,” he said. “I think there are around 30,000 runners with a huge prize purse.” Manchur said he hopes to have fun, and
also plans on improving on his Vancouver Marathon time. “I have a general idea of where I’d like to be,” he said. “I hope to finish about 10 or 15 minutes faster than Vancouver a year ago, and I think it’s a realistic goal. “It’s going to be pretty neat. And after Boston I’ll probably do the local KidSport Classic half marathon in June, and hopefully find something in the fall to race.”

Blue Fins youngsters impress at home meet impressed with the results. “We had more than 40 swimmers at the meet and last year our club was that size, so this is a great step in the right direction,” he said. “We had some great team spirit all weekend long and the older swimmers did a great job in helping mentor the younger swimmers. “Our coaching staff needs to be commended as everyone swam well — especially our younger developing swimmers who are coached by Geneva Gordon, Tracey Beauchamp and many other senior swimmer volunteers.” The top three finishers in the 12 and under racers — not including AA and AAA provincial swimmers — were: 8 and under girls • Taylor Fitzgerald —

Woman of Heart: Aileen Hewett Gaeil Farrar photo
The International Women’s Day dinner held at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake Friday evening was a real treat. Appetizers were served in abundance as participants made their way to the cafeteria through a maze of interesting local business displays. Then came a delicious dinner followed by presentation of the Women’s Contact Society’s third annual Woman of Heart Award. The award was presented by Women’s Centre executive director Irene Willsie (left) and Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre intake manager Coleen Onofrechuk to the CDC’s founder Aileen Hewett. A variety of entertainment followed including belly dancing, several musical performances and a moving presentation by a Gail Pilgrim who has written a book about her experiences with sexual abuse.
New Connect Parent Group begins April 9 Sheila Cohen Special to The Tribune Sometimes wonder and worry about your child’s behaviour? Concerned about your relationship with your child? Feel like you just don’t know what to do? Past methods have focused on controlling the behaviour. Many parents and caregivers have struggled with this as it does not produce the results they hoped for. The Connect Parent Group is a series of workshops in Williams Lake that takes a different approach than most other parenting groups. Rather than focusing on behavioural management techniques, the Connect Parent Group focuses on
enhancing the building blocks of attachment, improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict. The series of free 10 one-hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks. Parents watch role-plays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour. Parents learn, for example, that conflict is part of attachment and is particularly acute during times, such as the transition through adolescence. Parents learn to ‘step back’ in emotionally charged situations, recognize and modify their own feelings, while considering the possible meanings behind their adoles-
cent’s behaviour. Throughout the sessions parents are also encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences — when they were adolescents as well as their present circumstances. Helping parents feel more knowledgeable in these areas helps them understand their adolescent’s behaviours and needs. This allows parents to keep their emotions in check when dealing with difficult situations and use parenting strategies that clearly sets limits and expectations but does it in a way that maintains relationships. Connect has promising outcomes, both short and long term. Parents report feeling less stressed and more effective in par-
enting; they see fewer behaviour problems and better social functioning in their teen. Parents who have participated in the group have provided positive feedback and indicated they feel respected and supported in the group. The next session start date is April 9, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. There is no charge but pre-registration is required. Food and refreshments are provided. To register or for more information on this program please contact: Sheila Cohen, the Family Counsellor for Family Solutions at the Canadian Mental Health Association, Cariboo Chilcotin Branch, 250-305-4487.
Nurtured by nature, theme for naturalist banquet Jenny Noble Special to The Tribune This year the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have an extraordinary treat for those who attend their annual fundraising banquet. Nurtured by Nature: Why we need to spend time outdoors is the theme. Award-winning teacher, broadcaster, author and videographer Briony Penn shares her stories and the science on why getting trapped inside is really bad for us and is impacting life expectancy and quality of life for our children. Spending more time outside in nature makes us happier and more resilient to the upheaval caused by climate change.
Photo submitted
This child’s table and chair set, made by Jurgen Hornburg, will be auctioned at the banquet.
Penn has a special interest in making nature accessible to children. She brings some of the best success stories from leaders in this
field on how to bring society back to a healthy relationship with the natural world. She envisions a restoration economy, where nature is valued properly and where meaningful, interesting outdoor work is once again a choice for our kids. The annual banquet is a muchanticipated event. The dinner prepared by the St. Andrew’s United Church women is always delicious and the desserts legendary. Door prizes, Volunteer of the Year Award and camaraderie make for a lively evening. This year we have a special enticement, a silent auction item of great interest to parents, grandparents and special friends of children. To help raise funds for the much-
needed energy upgrade to the Nature House, Jurgen Hornburg has created a kid-sized table and chairs made of local aspen, and very generously donated it for silent auction. Bids will close at the banquet, but if you can’t attend, you can submit a bid by phoning 250-398-8532 or emailing shemphill@midbc.ca. Starting bid is $400. Pre-dinner social starts at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:45 p.m. at McKinnon Hall (United Church). Adult tickets are $35, 16 and under $15, available from the Open Book or from members of the Williams Lake Field Naturalists. Please get your tickets by March 30 so we can tell the kitchen staff how many they’re feeding.

COMMUNITY Planting a garden easier than ever NEW!!! Carol Thiessen Special to The Tribune
There is no excuse not to plant a garden this year. I hope anyone and everyone is excited and interested, because there are several community spaces to garden and lots of community plots available. If you live in an apartment, it is hard to have enough space to plant a lot of vegetables. If it is your first time, I’m sure that you can learn something from other plots beside yours. This is especially true if you can talk to previous gardeners and see what they are growing. Mostly all vegetables like the sun. Lettuces can be
Carol Thiessen phto
Spring is just around the corner and with it comes gardening season. planted in partial shade, and some plants, like tomatoes, like a lot of sun. Remember if you
plant rows along the North/South continuum they will have sun all throughout the day and
not cast shadows on other plants, whatever the size. It’s fun experimenting with new or unusual plants. With global warming/ weirding, we can now plant edibles that are usually grown farther south. Little did I know that buckwheat is not in the wheat family, but in the rhubarb family. Even though, my buckwheat grew, I didn’t know how to harvest, in bulk, the triangular black covered seedpods. But remember rhubarb leaves are poisonous, so you can use them on top of weeds, to kill them. Be careful of the growing season. If a
plant takes a long time to grow, you can always buy bedding plants and transplant them once it’s warm outside. But not beans according to my friend. There is a lot to learn about harvesting plants. Once my neighbour helped me pick swiss chard, the northern greens, and commented on how I didn’t pick it on the base of the stalk, like celery. I was just picking the wide leaf part. Why waste all that good volume of stalk for cooking. I’m sure it will be a great learning and rewarding experience. Carol Thiessen is an avid gardner and community garden project supporter.

This week at FEELINGS
Your Preschooler and… Feelings Your child’s emotional development is also an important part of getting ready for school. Since birth, your child has been developing many emotions, from sad, to happy, to angry. Entry to school will be helped by learning to handle feelings appropriately. As part of emotional growth, your child will typically develop deeper qualities like caring, self esteem, flexibility and may better understand others’ feelings. All of these things will help him or her meet the challenges of school. Generally, your preschooler will begin to talk more about feelings and understand both negative and positive emotions. Being able to cope with frustration and anger typically improves between age three and Kindergarten. Preschoolers may begin to develop a sense of self esteem and confidence.
Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Talk about feelings and what might cause them: “You are feeling really happy. Is it because we’re going to the park?” 2. Expand vocabulary using new words to describe your child’s feelings like “disappointed”, “frustrated”, “excited” and “surprised”. 3. Listen to and accept your child’s concerns. Reassure and comfort with a cuddle, showing the love that you have for your child. 4. Encourage your preschooler to talk about him or herself: “Tell me three things that you like to eat.” “Can you think of something that makes you happy?” 5. Pause while reading a book and ask your preschooler how a character might be feeling. 6. Show how to handle emotions positively yourself. Suggest to your child different ideas for coping with emotions and how you do it. 7. Address inappropriate behaviour immediately and calmly. Preschoolers usually have fewer tantrums, but may fight over things like toys. Help cope with tantrums by discussing afterward what helps your child feel better when experiencing frustration or anger. 8. Model patience and persistence in all your tasks. Children will learn to stick with things by acting like their parents.

The family wishes to thank Robin Blair and Phil Robertson for their faithful visits, especially since Gordon was spending more time indoors. We will miss him dearly, he was a kind, quiet, gentle man and so appreciative for the care he received at the Seniors Village. No funeral by request and his ashes will be taken to Bidwell Lake, his favourite spot in the Chilcotin, on a warm sunny day at a later date. Rest in peace dear Gordon.
