EASTER BUNNY VISITS SENIORS’ VILLAGE

There was Easter fun for all ages at the Williams Lake Seniors Village on Monday this week, when staff and residents organized an Easter egg hunt for approximately 15 kids — the children and grandchildren of people who live there, and people who work there. The youngsters ranged in age from toddlers to pre-teens, and were joined by an exuberant ‘Easter Bunny’ to search for treats and treasures in the sunny courtyard outside the bistro. Village staff member Neysa Hale wore a unique, colourful Easter bunny suit, designed and customsewn by her brother, Troy for their brother’s stag party in Williams Lake. Residents gathered in the courtyard to watch the hunt, cheering on and encouraging the kids with their brightly coloured bags and pails.

HST removal met with mixed reaction LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Reaction in the lakecity to the official cancellation of the HST tax in B.C. this week has been mixed. Changing from HST back to PST and GST was a challenging process for some small businesses in Williams Lake, including Wise Owl Toys. Owner Sandy Fehr spent 16 hours over Easter weekend changing their point-of-sale program to accommodate the tax shift — something she said they have had to do twice in three years. She added that they’re a small business with a less complex point-of-sale program that

couldn’t be changed by pushing a single button. “I expect that the HST will come back,” Fehr said. “I don’t think that people were upset with the tax itself — it was the way it was implemented. “People felt that the government was running over them. If they don’t bring it back after the election, I’m sure our taxes will go up. I hope I’m wrong.” Downtown Business Improvement Association Executive Director Judy O’Neil noted she has spent hours touching base with downtown businesses and said that everyone’s talking about the tax change. “Some are happy and others say it’s no different — just more paperwork,” O’Neil said. “Re-

sponses are all over the place. I heard one shopper say that everywhere he’s been, stuff is cheaper, like coffee and stamps. “Another customer said: ‘In three more years they can apply to get it back — maybe next time they’ll get it right.’” Laketown Furnishings owner Bob Sunner said that getting rid of the HST is a step back: a regressive, counter-productive measure. He said that although his store system is so basic that it wasn’t a big programming effort, it was just one more unnecessary task. “The HST, in my opinion, was a simpler form of taxation,” Sunner said. “For people who are forced, without any compensation to collect taxes simplicity means less

work and less expense. “I don’t think the strategy of the HST was a bad one; I think it benefitted British Columbians, especially when I heard that by switching over we’d actually received a lot of money from the federal government to entice us to do so. But I think the implementation went awry,” Sunner continued. “I am very opposed to the switch back to the HST.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA candidate Charlie Wyse is happy the HST is gone. “Today we’re celebrating the fact that B.C. said: ‘You don’t have the right to make this tax See HST Page A3

Backyard chickens and bees under discussion Chickens and bees were on the agenda at a recent committee of the whole city council meeting. Reacting to questions from the community about keeping backyard chickens and bees, city planner Liliana Dragowska presented city councillors a report on the city’s current policy regarding keeping them within city limits. The report also included information on recent trends and interests of permitting both bees and fowl in residential areas, and was intended to obtain information for bylaw review. Although currently prohibited in Williams Lake, some backyard hens and beehives are already kept on residential properties and many other residents have expressed interest in these local food sources. In recent years, many communities across B.C. and North America have amended bylaws to allow for the keeping of backyard hens and beekeeping, such as Vancouver, Saanich, Terrace, Vernon, Kamloops and many others around Canada and the U.S.

Pictured here are local chickens from Phoenix Farm near Williams Lake. City staff recommend that the bylaw include regulations addressing things like maximum number of hens and restriction of roosters; design and construction guidelines for chicken coops, such as size and accessibility to pests; disposal requirements for dead chickens; minimum lot size requirements; appropriate setbacks from lot lines and permits, associated fees and fines. The report listed ‘pros and cons’ for keeping both hens and bees, including local food security and sustainability, healthy food sources, reducing municipal waste and insects and reducing

greenhouse emissions. Concerns included public health risks, nuisance from noise, smell, pests and predators, neighbour complaints taking bylaw enforcement staff time, as well as animal welfare and human conditions. Local resident Carole Bjorkman attended the committee of the whole council meeting as someone very interested in keeping backyard chickens in Williams Lake. “I would certainly

keep chickens if I lived on property outside of Williams Lake, but I don’t,” Bjorkman said. “I think it’s fantastic — I like everything about it. I like the idea of knowing where my food comes from, knowing what I’m feeding my chickens and knowing how happy they are.” Having chickens means she would have a supply of fertilizer for her garden, she added. “You feed them kitchen scraps and you get

high-quality, high-nitrogen manure.” Overall she was pleased with the comments and reactions from members of city council at the meeting, and said Dragowska’s report was excellent. “I was quite happy with the way things went — most of the councillors were very supportive. I expected to hear strong opposition, but it wasn’t like that,” Bjorkman said. “I came out feeling cautiously optimistic.” She said that the one councillor who seemed “adamantly opposed” to the idea of backyard chickens was Ivan Bonnell, stating that he made a humorous comment that if people want chickens, they can go to KFC. Bonnell said the comment was in the context of chickens in a commercial setting, adding that he’s had experience with backyard chickens and bees in a municipal application. “I recognize that the city has changed over the past 20 years, and that there is value in

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)

some of these ideas. If we’re talking about noncommercial usage and designing what areas are appropriate, then I think we should give it some consideration,” Bonnell said. “Creating a rural environment in an urban setting can be done with larger lots so that you don’t intrude on the neighbours or have complaints coming in. “There is a lot to this if you’re going to do it right,” Bonnell continued. “I’m certainly willing to listen to public comments and continue the discussion.”

Chamber president weighs in on small business accord Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer If the B.C. government is able to move and stay on track with its Small Business Accord announced recently then it should meet the goals to make B.C. business friendly, Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll said. “Do I see some of the recommendations made during meetings with Minister of State for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto and Liberal MLA Donna Barnett in Williams Lake? It’s kind of hard to say definitively ‘yes’ or ‘no’.” Reading into the documents there are items that came out of the meetings, he agreed, but he said he suspects similar concerns were

voiced in other communities that face the reality of dealing with government on a business level. Ryll cited regulatory streamlining that small business can use easily. “I see that as something that many communities in B.C. have asked for.” In October 2012, the B.C. government announced it would create the BC Small Business Accord to establish a list of priorities. Following the announcement, a consultation period occurred and over 35,000 individuals provided feedback through community meetings, an online survey and a Twitter town hall meeting. On Feb. 5, a BC Small Business Accord forum, made up of 15 business

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll spoke to the Tribune recently about the new BC Small Business Accord. owners/operators from various regions and sectors around B.C., used the feedback from the consultation period to determine the accord

principles and establish action items for the provincial government. The accord contains a number of principles: • Consider the needs

and impacts of small businesses in policy and program decisions to enhance business certainty, access to qualified labour, access to capital and technology adoption. • Foster a regulatory environment that small business can access, navigate and influence effectively and efficiently. • Design provincial government programs and resources affecting small business so that they are well developed, accessible, properly funded and effectively communicated. • Foster thoughtful collaboration among all levels of government, including First Nations. Deploy educational and training programs that are future-focused and aligned to meet the

changing needs of small business and the labour talent it develops. • Create long-term growth opportunities for small business through government procurement. Ryll is hoping the document will be something business people can continue to work with. “I think the way we’ve been able to weather the economic downturn in B.C. is a testament to business and small business,” he said. “If we can continue to keep being competitive I think we’ll be doing ourselves and our communities a great service down the road.” On a local level, Ryll said the chamber has met with the city to keep mayor and council “plugged in” to what’s

happening the business community. “Through other conversations with the mayor I think we have a good understanding of what role each of us play in the community and by working together we’re going to be able to try and keep the business community strong in Williams Lake.” Growth is the ideal goal, he said, but with economic uncertainty the way it is, at least keeping the current standard intact is important. In addition to unveiling the mandate of the accord, an incentive has been set up for local governments by establishing a $10,000 award for up to 20 municipalities that can demonstrate they are operating in the spirit of the accord principles.

“With the HST gone, you’ll save money on some things and on some things you’ll pay more,” Barnett said. “It was a tax delivered by Gordon Campbell in a way that angered people, and so the petition against it was signed.”

Barnett said hardest hit by the loss of the HST will be mining, forestry, agriculture and small business. “When you hurt business you hurt jobs,” she said. “I’m concerned about the economic future of this province.”

Wyse: HST ‘largest tax transfer in B.C.’s history’ Continued From Page A1 He explained that in the last campaign both the NDP and the Liberals said the HST wasn’t going to happen, but added that within three months in office the Liberals announced

that the tax would be implemented. “It took three months to put it into place, and once the successful referendum took place to reverse that decision, it took them 19 months to get rid of it,” Wyse said. He added that 9,300

local adults signed the petition to cancel the HST; 57 per cent of them were on the B.C. voter’s list. “This was the largest tax transfer in B.C.’s history from large corporations to consumers,” Wyse said. “The local petition

involved close to 300 local volunteers from all political parties. “It really was a citizens’ initiative to challenge the government, which was blatantly misleading people during the campaign. B.C. is one of the few provinces with legislation

that requires 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the 85 ridings in order to get a referendum.” Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said she is concerned about the economic impact of removing the tax.

Last-minute rush on for businesses to return to PST Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a last-minute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000

of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business. “I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,” Yamamoto said Sunday. “In most cases they’ll be paying the same as they did prior to April 1, unless you’re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or you’re paying your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or buying a bike.” The good news for

barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. There are a few anomalies, such as insulation and weatherstripping, where sales tax falls by seven per cent as historic PST exemptions resume Mon-

day, but most retail purchases will remain subject to both GST and PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. Yamamoto said businesses can register online by going to www. pstinbc.ca or www.gov. bc.ca/pst and selecting the registration link. Using incorporation documents, the process should take about 15 minutes. Business owners who don’t register immediately can still correct transactions made

after the deadline, because the first online remittance of PST is expected at the end of May. Premier Christy Clark marked the transition with a video, reminding business operators to register. Clark noted that the HST was a benefit to the film industry, manufacturers and other businesses that benefited from input tax credits. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said a statistically average

family will be about $350 ahead with the removal of the HST, which was rejected in a mail-in referendum in June 2011. Ralston acknowledged that low-income people will lose the increased HST rebates that have been paid quarterly since the HST took effect in 2010. But he said that will be balanced by the reduced sales taxes they pay in restaurants and other service purchases. Tobacco taxes went

up by seven per cent with the HST, and that tax will remain. Liquor taxes have also been adjusted to be unchanged with either tax, although restaurants will pay increased tax on liquor sales with the return to PST. A separate seven per cent tax on private used vehicle purchases also remains in place. It was imposed along with the HST to make private sellers subject to the same taxation as car dealers.

NEWS Cariboo Fire Centre urges caution with outdoor burning activities The Cariboo Fire Centre is asking the public to exercise caution with any outdoor burning activities this spring. As the snow melts, dried grass from last summer is uncovered and that material can be highly flammable. Almost all wildfires at this time of the year are caused by people and are therefore preventable. Homeowners and industry personnel are encouraged to consult the B.C. FireSmart manual and take the following precautions: • Ensure that enough people, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping. • Do not burn dur-

ing windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material. • If you are planning a large burn, consider conducting smaller burns around the perimeter beforehand to create a fuel break and help stop the fire from spreading beyond its intended size. Each of these fires should be kept small and must be completely extinguished before starting a new fire. • Never leave a fire

unattended and make sure that your fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before you leave the area. If you are planning to do any large-scale industrial burning or conduct a grass burn over 0.2 hectares (category 3 fires), you must obtain a burn registration number ahead of time by calling 1-888-797-1717. Venting conditions should always be checked before conducting an open burn. If conditions are rated “Poor” or “Fair,” open burning is restricted. The venting index can be found at: http://www. bcairquality.ca/readings/ventilation-index. html. In British Columbia,

the Wildfire Act specifies a person’s legal obligations when using fire on or within one kilometre of forest land or grassland. If an outdoor burn escapes and causes a wildfire, the person responsible may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

The Province thanks the public for its continued help in preventing wildfires. If you see flames or smoke, call 1-800-663-5555 tollfree or call *5555 on your cellphone. To view the B.C.

CRD budget holds 2013 taxes on target The Cariboo Regional District and Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District proposed 2013 budgets and five-year financial plans were adopted, March 22. At the end of 2012, the directors provided CRD staff with a 2013 budget target goal of a zero per cent maximum requisition increase for inflationary purposes. The overall 2013 budget, including new/ and or improved services came in at a 0.8 percent decrease, according to the CRD board highlights. Without including new services, the tax requisition for 2013 is 2.5 per cent less than the requisition for 2012. During the meeting chartered accountants, Kane Fraser and JoAnne Francis presented the CRD and CCRHD 2012 audited financial statements. Fraser said the financial position of both corporations remains strong. . CRD applies for treaty funds The CRD will be submitting an applica-

tion for funding to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Supporting Treaty Implementation program. Applications are currently being accepted by UBCM for the program, whereby local governments may re-

cover eligible operating costs for Treaty Advisory Committees participating at Treaty Negotiation tables at Stage 4 or Stage 5. In past years, the CRD has received $15,000 in funding. Transfer station

hours extended The CRD directors received and discussed survey results from the Lac La Hache transfer station pilot project, March 22. Based on the results and feedback from residents, the CRD will expand total public

accessibility hours for the Lac La Hache site and future controlled waste facility sites to 46 hours during the period of October 1 to March 31 and 52 hours during the period of April 1 to September 30. The next CRD board meeting is April 12.

Don Alder honoured with Brand Laureate award Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake son and now internationally acclaimed acoustic guitarist Don Alder was recently presented with the Brand Laureate Award. “I’m totally honoured about getting the award,” Alder said in an e-mail conversation with the Tribune Tuesday explaining the award. Alder is the second Canadian to receive the prestigious Brand Laureate International Brand Personality Award as a world-leading finger-style guitarist and for his significant contributions to the lives of people around the world. The Brand Laureate Award is a distinctive award from the Pacific Asia Brands Foundation in Malaysia which is endorsed by many dignitaries including the King of Malaysia. Alder says the Brand Laureate award is presented to individuals who have contributed significantly to the lives of people around the world through their areas of expertise. Past recipients include Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Canadian Astronaut, Chris Hatfield. Some of the renowned musicians to receive the award include

Deep Purple, Kenny G. Earth Wind and Fire and Chaka Khan. Alder is the second Canadian to win the award after astronaut Chris Hatfield who received the distinction on March 27, 2013 for his achievements “a worldleading finger-style guitarist” along with his crucial role “as a global ambassador for its practice.” Alder believes part of the reason he received the award, in addition to his music, is for his work to help people. “Most of my adult life has been in the service of others to help make a difference in the lives of others, at first with Rick Hansen, then with the Paralympic Team as the equipment manager in 1996 and then in 2000, then with Sam Sullivan as part of the Vancouver

Taste test

Adapted Music Society.” In 2012, Alder says there was a restructuring at the Rick Hansen Foundation which allowed him to blaze forward as a musician and to use music to continue making a difference in people’s lives. “Fortunately my guitar travels have taken me to many countries where I try to inspire

younger and older players and share whatever I can with them,” Alder says. “So I believe having notoriety around the world as an acoustic guitarist along with the lessons I’ve learned about giving back to the community from my previous relationships helped me get this award. “They have a lengthy

process to get this award. I’m guessing they heard I was going to be in Malaysia about a year ago so they started the process to see if I was an eligible candidate.” However, Alder says he knew nothing about the award until the day of presentation. “This only goes to show you once again that anyone can be a recipient for this type of award regardless if you come from a small town like Williams Lake or mega city like Toronto,” Alder says. Alder says he will be on a two-week concert tour in the UK in July and a two-week tour up the west coast of USA in August. Alder says he has lots of new material for three CDs and hopes to complete a new CD by the end of the year. He is also hoping to have a concert in Williams Lake this year if he can find a promoter for the concert.

City workers busy patching potholes

LNG and pipelines will impact your pocketbook

Mike McLean is doing what he loves, and showing confidence in Boitanio Mall. Way to go Mike! Bosley’s Pet Foods From the is a big, bright, Mayor’s modern Chair store, a n d Kerry Cook manager Shawna Heintz has some great ideas for engaging the community and their pets. These new investments in our community confirm what we already know: Williams Lake is a great place to start a business and be successful. I will be attending the Council of Forest Industries annual convention this week in Prince George. Topics to be discussed include timber supply, recruiting and retaining the next generation workforce, and other issues. As forestry is a mainstay in Williams Lake, it is of prime importance to the city. It’s budget time again. The city’s finance committee has been busy working to present recommendations to Council in the coming weeks. By improving the process last year, we already have a provisional budget approved, which makes the final budget discussion and adoption more straightforward. We don’t have all the final figures yet, but due to the closure of the Creekside mill and the fire protection agreement, among other factors, there are going to be some tough decisions to be made. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks. This is the time of the year for potholes, and city workers has been busy patching for the last few weeks. If you see a pothole, please report it so it can be patched. This can be done via the city’s website by clicking “Report” under “I Want To...” in the main menu, or by calling the development services department at 392-1765. The sooner potholes are reported, the sooner they can be fixed. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

ith all the propaganda surrounding LNG and the Enbridge pipeline, it’s easy to be convinced by the premier’s claim that we could be entering a new era of economic prosperity that would wipe out all our debt and substantially reMLA duce our Musings taxes. HowBob Simpson ever, if t h e s e megaprojects come to pass, it will more than likely have a negative impact on your pocketbook. First, you’ll be impacted by the direct and indirect subsidies your government will give these companies to make these projects economically viable. The fossil fuel industry lives off subsidies — trillions of dollars in subsidies each year from governments worldwide, billions here in Canada and B.C. Second, most of the jobs associated with these projects will go to Albertans or temporary foreign workers; the Albertans will pay income tax in Alberta and foreign workers will send the bulk of their earnings home rather than spending it in B.C. The rapid and massive exploitation of BC’s natural resources proposed by both the BC Liberals and the BC NDP will mean significantly less return to the B.C. government than if we developed our resources in a more measured way with B.C. workers. You’ll have to pay more for public services or get less from your government. Third, you’ll have to help cover the costs of any catastrophic events that occur as a result of these environmentally risky ventures. Finally, if the companies racing to get oil and LNG to Asia actually get a higher “Asian premium” price, it just means you’ll pay more for your own resources here at home. Instead of continuing to subsidize an unsustainable industry with taxpayer dollars, Canadian citizens need to demand that our federal and provincial governments develop energy self-sufficiency strategies and support the growth and development of renewable energy sources. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Our Viewpoint

HST backlash continues The ill-fated Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in British Columbia went out with a whimper on April 1. It is fitting the hated (by the great unwashed at least) tax died on the one day of the year when pranksters play April Fool’s Day jokes on family and friends. Certainly it was a foolish joke the B.C. Liberal government pulled on British Columbians following the 2009 provincial election — after stating during the election campaign they weren’t even thinking about the HST. It’s a prank that will likely cost the B.C. Liberals their chairs on the government side of the legislature. It must be noted that every single B.C. Liberal MLA voted in favour of the HST. Eventually, British Columbians rose up and rallied to have the HST removed. Showing their complete and utter disregard for the voting public, the B.C. Liberal power brokers refused to follow the wishes of the electorate, and virtually dared the disenchanted to go through the petition-gathering stage to force the provincial government to hold a referendum on the elimination of the HST. It was at this point the distaste for the HST mutated into loathing the BC Liberal Party. The roar from the sleeping giant went beyond the dis-

like of a tax shift to growing dissatisfaction that overshadowed all of the hard work individual MLAs did in their constituencies — because they toed the party line. The biggest burr under the saddle of the voting public was the arrogance of the B.C. Liberal brass, as they spent millions of taxpayers’ dollars trying to sway the electorate in the run-up to the referendum vote with their silly stickman TV and newspaper ads. It took the B.C. Liberal government 11 months to implement the HST, but after they lost the vote, it took them 19 months to get rid of it, as they squeezed every last dime they could out of the taxpayers. Now, the government is scrambling to get businesses registered for the transition back to the Provincial Sales Tax and Goods and Services Tax combination. While it has relied on the media to get the messages out to the business owners, it certainly didn’t spend millions of dollars on stickman ads to help businesses make the transition. Of course, bringing attention to the disaster that was the HST wouldn’t have worked very well in the popularity polls as we head into a provincial election. - Ken Alexander/100 Mile Free Press

Brand raises questions Editor: After much time and expense to find a brand name for our city, the selection of “Republic of Doyle” — oops, sorry, meant “Republic of Life” — raises a number of questions. Will we have a president as head of our government? Will we be issued citizenship

papers and passports? Will we face a constitutional challenge and possible invasion by Canada? Will we have a seat at the UN? There are some positives: our Williams Lake trade dollars could become legal tender again; customs barriers could be set up to collect duties from through traffic; we would no longer have to

pay provincial and federal taxes; our city would have more power when dealing with those folks at the CRD. Good thing that a Central American firm was not assigned the task, or it might have selected “Banana Republic.” Joe Varesi Williams Lake

Trillions in fuel reserves to be produced, marketed and shipped Editor: Harper withdraws Canadians from the UN Convention to Combat Desertification(UNCCD 3/28/13) because of its talkfest, bureaucracy, and its not in Canadian’s interest. UNCCD addresses desertification, land degradation and drought. Maude Barlow (Council of Canadians) says Harper withdrew Canada because he doesn’t want to face scientific realities of climate change. Sixty per cent of Canada’s cropland is in dry areas and subject to drought. East Africa has 18.7 million human beings malnourished, including a million children severely malnourished.

Question of the week

What do you think of branding the city The Republic of Life?

Williams Lake already has a great brand. I think we blew it.

I think it’s terrible: the word ‘republic’ sounds harsh and unwelcoming.

It sounds religious, judgemental with a cowboy point of view.

It requires more dialogue on the topic from everybody.

Income tax time more complicated for ranchers Betwixt and between, alternating love and loathing (dread) — that sort of sums up April in ranching (for me). It brings calving time; a lot of work for everyone directly involved, but it’s a joy to view the outcome. Watching as the calves frolic about in pastures that are springing back to life, seeing the mother-cows with their heads down, clearly relishing every moment as they nibble on the fresh greengrass (a real boost for the lactat-

found any enjoyment in working with numbers. No thrills came from book keeping, spread sheets or anything so-related and filing taxes is just a necessary evil to remain in goodstanding with Canada Revenue. Sigh, I am still sorting paper with the April 30 deadline looming-larger. Doesn’t it make you grind your teeth and want to wipe off that smug-grimace when acquaintances loftily announce that their taxes have been ready-to-go since

January and they await only their T-whatever/forms to arrive so that they can actually file? Sheeesh, that requires great discipline and lots of free time. I am very envious of those organized souls and hope, eventually, to join that club. Tax returns for agricultural operators are more complicated than the standard forms and I cannot pretend to profess to understand all the details of my ranch-returns (taxes). Therefore, I need to access the

services (help) of a good agricultural-accountant (a person who understands the cattle business well). Luckily, I have found such a professional (who is likely wondering when in-the-heck I am finally going to surface (in their office). Soon, I hope, but I am still (sigh) gathering and sorting paper; tardy because I prefer to be outdoors! Liz Twan is a rancher and freelance columnist for the Tribune.

news

Ticks are back; it’s time to take precautions Several people have reported to the Tribune this week that ticks seem to be out in greater numbers than ever. Three of the reports come from people walking in the Williams Lake River Valley. On one walk two friends found a total of five and six ticks each in their hair and hiding in their clothing. Another lone hiker encountered over 20 ticks on a oneday’ hike. It is a good reminder for people to start taking precautions as follows in the article provided by Interior Health. An early start to warm spring weather means many of us are getting out and enjoying the great outdoors. The warm weather also brings out ticks, small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from tick bites. “Covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks when returning from a walk, hike, or bike ride are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” said Dr. Karin Goodison, Interior Health public health physician. “Most tick bites do not cause illness, however, any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned with soap and water because infection can occur whenever there is a break in the

skin.” The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the Wood Tick (Dermacentor andersoni), a species which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. The Wood Tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare. Lyme disease-carrying ticks (Ixodes pacificus) are more common in the coastal areas of B.C. Ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if they are attached for several days, especially in children or seniors, but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed. The signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. “Lyme disease-carrying ticks are less common in the Interior of B.C. than on the coast, however, our residents do travel around the province, so it’s important they are aware of the signs of Lyme disease,” said Dr. Goodison. “Approximately 70 to 80 per cent of people newly infected with Lyme disease will develop a skin rash that looks like a “bulls eye” target and often expands from the site of the tick bite. “The rash may be accompanied by fever, headache, and aches or pains in muscles and joints. Individuals who experience this rash should see a doctor as soon as possible.” One of the most important ways to reduce

the risk of tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors. Other precautions include: Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and light-coloured clothing. Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds. Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house. Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. If you find a tick, check very carefully for others. Other tips to remove ticks safely include: Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. After removal, clean the area with soap and wa-

Relay for Life reaching out for volunteers for June 8-9 It was 2005 when Kristi Hamar first participated in Relay For Life, along with her basketball team the Bball Babes. “It was a fun event, very entertaining, and so great to feel that we were working together for a fantastic cause,” Hamar reminisced. “And then, the volunteers lit the luminaries up on the hill — spelling out the words Cure and Hope. “It really hit home … the serious purpose behind the event.” A few years later Relay came back into Hamar’s life when her co-worker and close friend needed a helping hand on the organizing committee. “She was passionate about the cause because she knew quite a few people touched by cancer, so I jumped on board to support her.” The event quickly became even more

personal when one of her students was diagnosed with leukemia. Nick Paul was in her Grade 6/7 class at Sxoxomic Community School in Alkali Lake, and Kristi saw first hand the devastating effects of cancer on a family and a community. “It’s a small, closeknit group, and it was very tough on the whole community,” she said. “That was my motivation to keep going — I wanted to make sure we were doing our part.” Sadly, Nick Paul passed away in 2012, just a month before the Relay For Life. His family and friends, the “Standing Strong” team were a solid presence at the event. “They carried a picture of Nick, and during the luminary lap, they put all their candles in front of the

picture, and everyone who passed by added theirs. They were there all night long, walking the track in memory of Nick.” Last year’s event raised $37,000 and involved 119 participants. This year, Kristi stepped into the role of Leadership Chair to make sure the Relay continues. “Looking for a cure is high on my priority list,” she said. “I see so many families touched by cancer, and we need to all get involved to support each other and keep looking for the cure.” Relay For Life is an inspirational, noncompetitive, 12 to 24 hour fundraising event that brings a community together to celebrate life and fight cancer. “We are reaching out to ask the community if they are interested in volunteering on the organizing committee,”

says Hamar. “We have a wide variety of roles that can suit everyone’s background. Volunteering for Relay has really enhanced my team building skills, and my organizational ability. I’ve also learned a tremendous amount about the services that are provided by the Canadian Cancer Society.” This year’s relay will be held on June 8-9 in Boitanio Park. This year’s theme: “Relay’s Rockin’ Through the Ages”. If you’d like to get involved visit www. relaybc.ca or e-mail WilliamsLakeRelay@ bc.cancer.ca. Teams can also pick up team packages at the Williams Lake Cancer office. There is also a Facebook page titled “2013 Williams Lake Relay for Life.” Join the group for updates.

Ryan Oliver and The Cookers in concert next week Michael Butterfield Special to The Tribune The Cookers will be coming to Williams Lake to play two concerts, Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 at the Studio Theatre at Glendale School. This is a very exciting event, considering how often a first-rate jazz quintet performs in our town. The reason why this group is coming here is because this is the home town of the tenor saxophonist/leader of The Cookers. He grew up on 12th Avenue, went to Columneetza Secondary School, and his name is Ryan Oliver. One day, many years ago, his mom called a saxophone teacher to enquire about tenor saxophone lessons, and this is how the story went. The teacher asked her what kind of music Ryan likes to listen to. As the saying goes, “You are what you eat,” and translate that to musician’s terms, “You are what you listen to.” Now just consider for a moment that Ryan was only 15 years old at the time, and that all of this occurred over 20 years ago. Also keep in the back of your mind “What do kids listen to?” His mom said to the teacher, “Just a minute and I’ll ask him,” and she quickly replied, “He likes jazz.” So then the teacher asked: “Who does he listen to?” And she said to the teacher, “Just a minute and I’ll ask him.” She quickly replied that he listens to John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, just to name a few of his idols. Now if you were a young hockey player and were asked who your favorite player was, you probably would have lots of answers to that

Oliver grew up in Williams Lake and is now an internationally acclaimed jazz saxophonist. question, but when a kid is asked who his favorite jazz musician is, one doesn’t really expect a hard answer. It surprised the teacher. This kid was genuine! Now, 20 years later, if you were to shut your eyes and just listen to Ryan Oliver play, he would conjure up visions of John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, Branford Marsalis and other great tenor players, but all in a unique voice named Ryan. Ryan is among the very best jazz tenor saxophonists in Canada

and he has made many recordings. He plays regularly with the Derek Miller Band, the Shuffle Demons, as well as The Cookers. The Cookers also have Tim Hamel on trumpet, Richard Whiteman on piano, Alex Coleman on bass, and Joel Haynes on drums. Each player’s musicianship is top-shelf and they all have massively great resumes of people with whom they have played and recorded. Their CD called, The Cookers Vol. I was featured on Katie Mal-

loch’s final radio episode of Jazz Beat on CBC, and Katie said that it was one of her favorite albums of the year. Ryan also has a new recording soon to come out called Strive, featuring the legendary Victor Lewis on drums. If you are not familiar with The Cookers, check them out. They are very good! Tickets are on sale at The Guitar Seller, and at the Open Book. Michael Butterfield is a music teacher in Williams Lake and Ryan’s mentor when he was studying music in Williams Lake.

community Film club shows War Witch (Rebelle) on Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune The regular film series of the Williams Lake Film Club will continue Tuesday, April 9, at the Gibraltar Room. We will show the film War Witch, originally titled Rebelle. It is the story of 12 year old Komona who is kidnapped by subSaharan African rebels and forced at gunpoint to shoot her own parents and fight as a child soldier against the government in the jungles. She is no ordinary soldier due to her ability to see grey ghosts in

the trees that warn her of approaching enemies. She is considered a sorceress and given the title of War Witch by the leader of the rebels. Later she meets and falls in love with a young albino magician but is again kidnapped and forced to live with the commander of her unit. More poignant than words can express is the opening scene in which this young girl soldier talks to her unborn child, confessing she is unsure if she will have the strength to love her when she is born. Inspired by a newspaper article, Canadian direc-

tor and screen writer Kim Nguyen’s film is a devastating glimpse into the world of an African child soldier. There is an amazing amount of heart and tenderness, even humour, in this often shocking and brutal film. This tenderness comes mainly from Mwanza’s (Komona) overwhelmingly vulnerable performance, for which she received best actress awards in Berlin, Tribeca and Vancouver Film Festivals. Rebelle had been nominated for an Academy Award as Canada’s official entry in the Foreign Language Category, but as

Reel Paddling airs at film festival tonight Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune The selections have been made, several of them award winning ones. It was not easy, I can tell you that. Now the Williams Lake Film Club is very proud to present to you the World Tour 2013 — Reel Paddling Film Festival for the first time right here in our town. The films will be screened tonight, Thursday, April 4, at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, Gibraltar Room, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. You will see incredible films about surfing, stand-up surfing, canoeing, kayaking — including waterfall kayaking — rafting and other adventures on water. It is heartening to see how many young

people are not only interested in their sport but also learn about the importance of water for life — and learn about some of the nasty malpractices of industries. One moment you are hanging on to your seat, and losing it, rushing through incredible whitewater, the next moment you are in a canoe in awe of the beauty of nature and wondering what you can do to protect it. You will also follow stand-up surfers in Iceland in an amazing glacial landscape covered in ashes from the volcano fallout and two young guys from Alaska exploring the Ganges River in India, from its beginning in the Himalayan mountains to its meeting point with the ocean. This is a great event for Williams Lake

which prides itself on its outdoor recreation and adventures. It sets the mood for coming summer, and TRU is happy to sponsor this. There will be a break between the two sets of films in which we offer you goodies from Hobbit House and the Cariboo Growers food cooperative. We also have programs available (free) giving you the opportunity to sign up for free digital edition subscriptions of four different kayak and canoe magazines. This is a special event — brought to town just for you! Proceeds will be shared by the LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities, and the WL Paddle Club. Tickets are $15 at the door, cash only.

it seems to happen again and again, Québecois films just prove to be a bit too strong for the Academy. A pity, really. Here a couple of facts supplied by The Independent from the U.K. There are an estimated 300,000 child soldiers in at least 20 countries in the world today. The problem of child soldiers is most severe in Africa. Right now, children are fighting across the continent: in Chad, the Central African Republic, Sudan and South Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the film Rebelle has been shot. There always are plenty of new recruits as in many conflict affected areas children make up the majority of the population. Armed groups often send children in

the first wave of an attack so as to draw the enemy’s fire. As well as being forced to fight, children are used as spies, couriers, cooks and cleaners. Girls are often forced into sexual slavery. Some 40 per cent of child soldiers are girls. War Witch or Rebelle comes with the highest recommendations and should not be missed. Screening starts April 9 at the Gibraltar Room at 7 p.m., back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $9 regular, $8 for film club members, $6 for seniors (65+) and students, high school and TRU. Proceeds help to support the LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities, 250-303-2354.

“They call the Cariboo home” Joyce Walker creates cross-stitch masterpieces Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer On any given morning, Joyce Walker is guaranteed to be sipping black coffee in the lounge area at the Seniors’ Village in Williams Lake. Joyce, who will be 89 on May 3, has lived there for a year and a half. When she first arrived not many people were sitting in the lounge. “I started coming here and encouraged people to come and join me. I waved them on over,” she says with a huge grin. Before moving into Seniors Village, Walker lived in McLeese Lake. Joyce was born in Saskatoon. She moved to White Rock with her parents, Violet and Cyril Ewson, and brother Ronald in 1930. “Mom wanted to see the ocean, was fed up with the dust and cold winters,” Joyce recalled. “Dad was a war vet on a pension. He was a great gardener and loved to grow vegetables and flowers.” By the time she finished high school, the Second World War was on, so Joyce moved into Vancouver to work at Boeing. “I was a “gopher” in the tool shop,” she said. “I talked my mom into coming to work there. She got a job as a riveter’s assistant.” The two rented a one-bedroom apartment on 12th Avenue and “thumbed” home to White Rock on their two days off. “We worked at Boeing until it closed down.” After Boeing her mom started cooking in cafes in White Rock so Joyce decided she’d try waitressing. She married and had two sons, Tom and John, however, the marriage didn’t last. While she was working at Super Valu, one of her friend’s husbands, who was working

Joyce Walker has completed hundreds of cross-stitch pieces. The walls of her place at Seniors’ Village are covered with some of them, others have gone to children and grandchildren.

in Kitimat, mentioned Joyce’s situation to a co-worker, Austin Kenneth (Ken) Walker. “He called me up from Kitimat to see how I was,” she recalled. “We talked for three quarters of an hour and when I got off the phone I said to my parents that if he comes down to see me I’m going to marry him.” In less than a month, Ken phoned and said he was in town. He wanted to meet Joyce and her family. They were going to a Christmas party at the boys’ school so she invited Ken to join them. “We clicked right away. He proposed in December.” They were married in April 1960 at the New Westminster courthouse. “It was heaven from then on. He was very good,” Joyce said. Ken adopted the boys and the family bought a new home in Port Coquitlam with a meadow, a large vegetable garden and flower beds all created by Ken. Eventually Joyce “sweet talked” him into buying a brand new dump truck so he could work for highways.

Then in 1970 they moved to McLeese Lake because Gibraltar Mines was being developed and Ken was hired to work for the highways department to help build the road into the mine. Within a year of settling in at McLeese Lake, and Ken doing highway contracts around McLeese Lake and the Chilcotin Highway west of Williams Lake, the Esso Station at McLeese Lake came up for sale. Ken sold the dump truck, which gave them the payment to buy the franchise and a house trailer. “We took over the garage and were there for three years or more,” Joyce said. “We loved it. One year we were recognized by two men from Esso for having the highest gas sales the garage had ever done.” The relationship between the Walkers and the building owner soured, so the couple decided it wasn’t worth their efforts. One day Ken received a phone call from Gibraltar asking if he could change a tire. It turned out to be a joke be-

cause the guys from Gibraltar arrived at the garage driving a huge mining truck. “I’ve got pictures somewhere of Ken standing there with this little tiny wrench next to this huge truck. The tire was bigger than he was.” That day the workers told Ken they’d like him to come and work at the mine and Ken said the Walkers were going to sell the garage in the spring and that he’d like to work at the mine. “He stayed at the mine until he retired,” Joyce said. “At first he drove a huge truck hauling ore from the mine and then went to work in the crusher.” Joyce worked for years at Ed and Joan Bourdon’s Cariboo Wood Shop at McAlister, six miles north of McLeese Lake. “At the beginning Ed asked if I could varnish cedar chests so I told him I could. I told him I would do one coat a day for three days and if he liked my work then I’d come and work for him.” Later she worked for Ed’s son Kevin and his wife Brenda at the wood shop and the cof-

fee shop staying there until she retired. Joyce loved McLeese Lake. When Ken retired the couple would travel to Yuma, Ariz. to spend five months of the year. Ken eventually succumbed to Alzheimer’s Disease and passed away 10 years ago at Deni House. Joyce continued to go away for five months of the year, although only as far as Penticton where she rented a motel. She didn’t know anyone there. Her kids thought she was “nuts,” but the weather was perfect — dry and very little snow in the winters. “I’m friendly. I had no problem,” she explained. Joyce still misses Ken and after his death found it hard to be alone, yet said she had a good life with him. She’s generous with hugs at the Seniors’ Village and stops to talk to everyone, even small dogs. “As a kid I had a two mile walk to school and along the way I’d stop and talk. I love people and I love to help people.”

Ruth’s diminished faculties did not limit her capacity to sing hymns and recite prayers, or to tell everyone she met on her rambles around Holyrood Manor, “I love you.” She is missed for her uncommon cheerfulness. Ruth’s life was one of service, first as a rancher’s wife, then a minister’s when her rancher entered the priesthood. She was our hard-working resourceful model of thriftiness and organization – she could feed a household of 14 on a chunk of bologna, or find space in the car trunk for one more air mattress for a holiday. Wherever she lived, she grew a garden filled with beauty and nutrition. Roses were her favourites. Right now Ruth is likely telling her hairdresser in heaven that she loves her. Funeral St. John the Divine, Maple Ridge 1:30 pm Thurs, April 4, 2013. God welcomes Ruth home.
