Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake runners racing in the Boston Marathon Monday are fine, along with their family members, confirmed their co-workers Monday. Sheldon Manchur, 28, and his girlfriend Shelby Moon, 23, were competing in the marathon. Sheldon finished the race in two hours, 46 minutes and 28 seconds, about an hour before two explosions detonated at the finish line. The blasts have sent at least 100 people to hospital and killed at least two people. Sheldon’s parents Fred and Monica Manchur and Shelby’s dad Gord and stepmother Cindy Moon are all OK, said Sheldon’s co-workers at Chuck’s Auto. The 2013 Boston Marathon database notes 241 of the nearly 27,000 race competitors hail from B.C. For full story and comments see www.wltribune.com.

Electoral office open in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Chilcotin District Elections BC office opened April 8 in Williams Lake. Located at 197C Fourth Ave. in Barnard Square, the office is open to the public Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Deputy District Electoral Officer Linda Isfeld, who held the post in the 2009 election, said she has a great staff ready, willing and eager to help the public. “We will also be hiring approximately 200 electoral officials,” Isfeld said Monday. Advance voting will take place at the Gibraltar Room, May 8 to May 11 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and general voting will occur at the same location on May 14, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. If people are going to be away on the dates set for either advance voting or election day, they can vote at the office as an absentee.
“If people live out of town they can also call and request a mail-in voting package,” Isfeld said. The packages will be mailed to the voter and must be received by the office by general voting day. People who are not registered to vote can do so online by going to www.elections.bc.ca or phone 1-800--661-8683. In Williams Lake and the Cariboo region, some voters are represented by Cariboo North. Several maps line the Elections BC centre’s walls if people are unsure whether they fall within the Cariboo Chilcotin or Cariboo North riding. Cariboo North District Electoral Officer Wayne Rodier said the Cariboo North riding will have advance polls at the Ramada Inn, Williams Lake. General voting polls on May 14 for Cariboo North voters will be held at the Ramada, Sugar Cane Gym, 150 Mile House Fire Hall and Wildwood School. Of the 23,316 eligible voters in

Williams Lake Stampede makes Clark’s address to the people Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In an April 14 televised film Christy Clark is depicted officially opening the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede. She’s seen greeting people, square dancing, and riding a horse next to Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price. “We went up to Williams Lake to open up the rodeo,” Clark said in the film. “I’m sitting on my horse and waving to everybody and my horse suddenly turns around and starts galloping.” She hadn’t been on a horse for 15 years, and said it was the scariest moment she’s had since she became premier. “Seriously, I sit in the legislature and listen to those guys yak yak yak and yelling at me and I think, ‘you’re not as scary as that horse.’” The 30-minute video, Strong Economy. Secure Tomorrow, was paid for ($100,000) by the Liberals, and featured various Liberal spokespersons and supporters. Under the BC Jobs

Premier Christy Clark at the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede. A 30-minute presentation by Clark televised April 14, featured her at the Stampede. Plan, Clark said Asia trade was up by 21.5 per cent, mineral expansion by 47 per cent and that forestry manufacturing sales were up by 23 per cent. Reacting to the film, Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal Constituency Association president Bill Carruthers said he is pleased with Clark as a speaker.
“I like the way she comes across communication wise. She’s trying to be folksy, obviously there’s an issue in terms of people warming up to her.” He said he goes back to whether or not Clark has what it takes to run a province with a $40 billion budget. “Let’s not focus on whether she’s pretty,
nice or kind. Does she have what it takes to run this province?” In his estimation Clark does. “The B.C. Liberals are trying to come up with a balanced budget and trying to stimulate future business opportunities so we don’t lose people so we’ll have an inflow into the province not an out-
flow,” Carruthers said, adding Clark’s on the right track. Carruthers is also the financial agent for the election. Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse contested Clark’s claim for job creation in B.C. “Since she has been premier there have been 34,800 jobs lost in the private sector and since the Liberals have been in government, 30,000 jobs have been lost in the forest industry while the Liberals continue to export raw logs.” He also questioned Clark’s claim the NDP saddled the province’s children with debt. “There’s absolutely no question that under the NDP it was the first time that B.C. received federal funds,” Wyse said, adding he also observed it was the only time that funding was received from Ottawa. “It’s interesting to note that under the Liberals, the province has received money from Ottawa five times.” Under the Liberal government, $27 billion has been added to the debt, Wyse added.
City of WL place brand will go to public consultation In response to community feedback over a proposed city place brand, Williams Lake City Council will undertake public consultation to allow more opportunity for residents to provide feedback, announced the city Friday. Council recognizes and appreciates the full gallery of residents who attended the April 9 council meeting, as well as a large volume of feedback from a diverse group of residents. The brand is designed to be available not only to the city for marketing and communications initiatives, but also to local employers to use in their marketing efforts to attract workers, which assists in promoting the city. The proposed place brand concept and logo has been recommended by a project advisory committee (including individuals with business,
education, government and other diverse backgrounds and local community networks) as an effective brand concept that reflects the positive position, promise and personality to project to people both inside and outside our community. “The feedback about the brand has been heard,” Mayor Kerry Cook said. “Never before have I received feedback from such a diverse group of people. The people of Williams Lake are passionate about our city, and that is good news. The city is always willing to listen, and I encourage everyone with an interest to participate in the upcoming public consultation. A brand must have community support to move forward, so please make sure your voice is heard.” The schedule for public consultation will be finalized over the com-
ing weeks, and residents will be informed when public session will be
held. At the end of public consultation, a report will be prepared.

“The estimated $800 million deficit for this year would add close to $1 billion more to that debt.” Cariboo North Independent MLA candidate Bob Simpson said the video politicized issues opposed to being straight with British Columbians. “I think political parties of any stripe should be compelled to use the government’s own statistics because the B.C. statistics taxpayer funded statistical arm then most of what the premier claimed is simply not true.”
Simpson said B.C. is not the number one job creator, not the lowest tax regime and not the safe haven. “Statistics B.C. show that B.C. is a mid-pack province that is only fourth in job generation and fourth in terms of tax per capita,” Simpson said. “Under the last three months, B.C. is once again seeing a net migration out of B.C. Cariboo Chilcotin Independent Gary Young said Clark’s video was a continuation of the “lies, deception, and hollow promises we’ve heard before.”

City and Soda Creek bands sign revenue agreements Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Two new revenuesharing agreements will enable the Williams Lake Indian Band and Xatśūll First Nation (Soda Creek) to benefit from the expansion of the Mt. Polley mine east of Williams Lake. The agreements mean the two First Nations will share 35 per cent of the incremental mineral tax revenue collected each year by the province. Soda Creek will receive 16.5 per cent and WLIB will receive 18.5 per cent of that 35 per cent. “It is the first ECTA we’ve signed in our area,” Louie said from Victoria, where she and band councillor Rick Gilbert travelled for the official signing ceremony. “The agreement will enhance our economic development.” While Louie does

She also confirmed that if the Spanish Mountain Gold’s mining project, northeast of Williams Lake is realized, the band will pursue an ECDA for that project as well. “We have a participation agreement with Spanish Gold,” she said. The newly signed ECTA falls within days of the WLIB signing a Participation and Cooperation Agreement with Gibraltar Mines Ltd. northeast of Williams Lake. It also follows 14 months after WLIB signed a Participation Agreement with Imperial Metals, the owner of Mount Polley. “It’s good for our community and puts us on the forefront,” Louie said, adding it’s exciting for the band. “We haven’t benefited really from anything the federal government has ever done so we have to step up, start doing these proj-
ects and signing these agreements that benefit our community.” The treaty process is so slow, she added. In an issued statement, Xatśūll First Nation Chief Bev Sellars said: “We welcome this long-awaited acknowledgment of the environmental and economic interests that Xatśūll holds in our Stewardship Area.” Aboriginal relations and reconciliation minister Ida Chong said ECTAs underscore the government’s commitment to helping First Nations meaningfully participate in, and benefit from, resource activity within their traditional territory. “It will help the WLIB build a better future for their own communities, while also supporting a mine expansion that will provide huge benefits to Williams Lake and the surrounding area,” Chong noted in a government press release.

WL RCMP seek public’s help The Williams Lake RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two males involved in a bear spraying incident. On March 31 at 1:15 a.m., the RCMP received a complaint of an assault that occurred in the school
yard of Marie Sharpe Elementary. A group of six people were sprayed with bear spray by two male suspects. The only description provided of the suspects is that one male was non-Caucasian, approximately five feet
six inches, wearing a black hoody, and possibly between the ages of 16-18 years. A second male was described as nonCaucasian, with dark brown hair, wearing a grey hoody with a dark coat and blue jeans. The RCMP are ask-
ing for public assistance regarding this incident and encourage anyone who may have information regarding this assault or any other crime to contact police at 250-392-6211, or call Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477).
City to hold public consultation on proposed hen and honeybee bylaws Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The City of Williams Lake will prepare separate bylaws to allow for the keeping of hens and honeybees in city limits, and hold public consultations on the proposals. In a report to council staff noted over the last few years city staff and council have been asked numerous times about the topics of back-yard chickens and beekeeping in residential areas of Williams Lake. “We’ve had a fair bit of interest from members of the community,” said acting CAO Geoff Goodall. “We’ve done some initial investigation on what other communities are doing in B.C. and it appears that quite a number of them have bylaws dealing with both of these issues.” Beekeeping and raising chickens in urban settings is becoming quite popular, he
added. Staff suggested the best approach is to do some research to create some model bylaws and then go out to the public for feedback to see if the community wants to go in that direction. “When we bring bylaws back for first reading we will bring council a draft for communication and all the available opportunities for public engagement,” Goodall explained. Mayor Cook acknowledged the city is still at a very “preliminary” stage on the issue. “I look forward to hearing from the community,” she said. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor raised concerns about the beekeeping. “We can control the chickens and hens, no problem, but bees are a concern,” Rathor said, adding that he’s done some research of his own since the first discussion council had with staff about hens
and bees at the committee of the whole meeting on March 26. Some residents have told Rathor they don’t want to have bees in residential areas of the city and that they are tough to contain. “At this point of time I cannot support the bees bylaw in the community because it could be very dangerous for any young child or a senior citizen. Bees are not going to see who you are and are not usually in love with everybody.” People who raise bees will have protective equipment, but their neighbour probably won’t, he said. Coun. Sue Zacharias said she doesn’t know much about raising bees, however she is looking forward to the bylaws being brought to council. “Chickens and bees get a bad rap, but it’s definitely something being talked about in other communities,” Zacharias said, adding she’s been receiving
more positive feedback than negative. The keeping of hens and bees support the Local Food and Agriculture Strategic Priority in the city’s official community plan, the city stated in a press release. “Localizing food production has the potential to increase food security and reduce the city’s overall carbon footprint. In addition, hens can also help reduce lawn and garden pest populations, an environmentally friendly alternative to pesticides. Hens are also an effective way to minimize house hold waste, as they can be fed a wide variety of food scraps, which currently end up in the landfill.” Coun. Ivan Bonnell said there are several regulatory guidelines the city would have to investigate. The hens received council’s unanimous endorsement, while Rathor voted against the bees.

Mount Polley USW members take strike vote Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer United Steelworkers members at Imperial Metals — Mount Polley Mine have voted overwhelming to allow their bargaining committee to call for strike action if necessary, as the union works to secure a new collective agreement. The strike voted was
conducted from April 9 to 10, resulting in 96.3 per cent of members voting in favour. Randy Gatzka, USW staff representative, said the union represents 275 workers at the mine. The existing collective agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2012. It was initially ratified in 2004, but then underwent a wage re-opener in 2007.
“From there it went forward until the end of 2012, so really from 2004, this is the first time employees have been able to bargain a collective agreement and put what’s important to them in front of the employer,” Gatzka said. Outstanding issues include wages, RRSP contributions, and im-
provements to disability plans. The union was in negotiations with the company from Sept. 18 until Mar. 29. “It was going until the company said ‘that’s all. “We felt they hadn’t addressed the major issues that we had prioritized. “Following that the company said ‘go get a
strike vote’ so we went out and got a strike vote,” Gatzka said. He hopes the vote will show the company the workers are serious about the proposals they’ve put forward. Mediation is scheduled for May 13 to 15. Imperial Metals told the Tribune they would not comment on the strike vote.

BC SPCA encourages penny donations to help animals
S
ome years ago, when the B.C. tourist industry began promoting the Gold Rush Trail, Williams Lake came up with an ad that some thought missed the mark. I grumbled about it to the mayor who said if I thought I could do better in 300 words, fly at it. I couldn’t. The “good things” list was too long. However, what’s good for tourists must be good for present and future residents, so let’s have a look at what attractions we have within our city limits. I like the yin and yang of having B . C . ’s oldest continuFrench ing Art Connection Society Diana French along with the busiest cattle shipping centre. The Williams Lake Stampede really is world famous, thanks to previous mayors who worked hard to make it so. There is a campground on the grounds, (almost downtown) and you can stable horses here. We have the lake and the very special Scout Island Nature Centre on our doorstep. The creek valley, ideal for biking and hiking, is in our back yard. We can bird watch almost anywhere. We have a top notch golf course; tennis courts; a decent public recreation centre plus a number of private facilities (e.g. bowling alley, fitness centres, skating rink); ball fields, people parks, even a dog park. We have a thriving arts community. Both the Station House Gallery and the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin are well established. There’s more but I’m running out of space and haven’t mentioned Thompson Rivers University; the dozens of clubs and organizations that serve a variety of interests; our more interesting shops; or how First Nations/ranching/rodeo are tied to the city’s history. And what about our famous Cariboo hospitality? We grouse about what’s wrong with the city and often forget what’s right. When councillors reconsider the place brand proposal, I hope they recognize that in many ways we have a unique community. It’s much more than a centre for outdoor sports.

Our Viewpoint
Engagement encouraged With the provincial election campaign officially getting underway today until general voting day May 14 it’s anticipated politics will be a main topic of conversation. The Cariboo is represented by both the Cariboo-Chilcotin and Cariboo North ridings, which means area residents will hear from several candidates. In Cariboo Chilcotin we have four candidates: Green Party Dustin Price of 100 Mile House, Independent Gary Young of Lac La Hache, Liberal Donna Barnett of 100 Mile House and NDP Charlie Wyse of Williams Lake. In Cariboo North we have Independent Bob Simpson of Quesnel, Liberal Coralee Oakes also of Quesnel and NDP Duncan Barnett of 150 Mile House. The Green Party said it isn’t running a candidate in Cariboo North because the party endorses Bob Simpson. There are around 48,300 eligible voters in the two ridings so it’s hoped that voters will exercise their democratic right on May 14, or at many of the advance polling opportunities. The Tribune encourages voters to become informed about the candidates. Two all-candidate events in Williams Lake have been

Land ownership debate dated Will Editor: This whole debate over who owns Fish Lake in the media is invalid. Anyone with half a brain (well, I guess that’s an exaggeration) can tell you the well-known concepts of shared borders and intertwined histories of overlapping territories. Bears, wolves, cougars and humans from all sorts of different nations have traditionally lived like this since time immemorial. This colonial idea of territorial ownerships of such ultimatums are culturally, scientifically and
legally invalid as shared borders were the norm in most, if not all, Aboriginal cultures. Rambling on about who was here first is like a foolish person arguing with himself for only a fool argues with a fool, as everybody knows land claims are only valid as how things were in 1871. Many African tribal nations land claims have been settled this way. The Bank of Nova Scotia has done a study that if Canada were to settle Aboriginal land claims this would free up red tape that hinders business opportunities between local non-native communities, Aboriginal commu-
nities and businesses. It’s also interesting that the Harper government is under investigation for censorship of the panel of environmental scientists. Never mind the fact scientists have discovered a toxic-eating bacteria that extrudes gold! One can produce gold now like home brew, theoretically. It is so inspirational to hear so many Shuswaps, Chilcotins and many non-native youths who want to protect Fish Lake. An Aboriginal rap artist called Illiano will be coming to Williams Lake on April 20. Fact is, this whole conservative colonial
19th century style of territorial ownership of land claims, and how we deal with the environment, resources and aboriginal communities, is so dated that it’s comparable to an old school they tore down to build the old school we know today. It is so difficult for me to tolerate or even discuss this subject to mindless parrots that mimic propaganda using emotionalism and sensationalism. This is the 21st century. It’s time we act like it is. Andrew Merritt Williams Lake
New branding effort misses the mark Editor: The Republic of Life? What on earth has possessed city council to even think such a bizarre logo would bring tourists and business to this area? Williams Lake has been a cow town since its inception. It hosts one of the biggest Stampedes in
Canada every year. It is one of the largest cattle shipping places in B.C. It is surrounded by cattle and dude ranches. Its museum focuses on the ranching industry and its history. It houses the B.C. Cowboy Hall of Fame. These things are what Williams Lake is known for and what is appealing to visitors.
The cowboy logo is a much more suitable one and much more appealing than a ‘Republic of Life,’ which doesn’t even make sense. I hope the councillors will give their heads a good shake and look up the meaning of the word ‘republic’ in the dictionary. I realize that forestry and mining have also played a key role in the
development of the area. However, there are many other things, too, such as sport fishing, mountain biking, etc., which attract both tourists and business, but please don’t forget the importance of the Cariboo’s roots. Ina Boxeur Williams Lake
City, CRD should retain independent power Editor: The City of Nanaimo deserves congratulations for standing up for local jobs and democracy. By requesting to be exempted from the Canada-European Union, Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). There are no benefits to Canadian municipalities from CETA, being much like most trade agreements such as NAFTA that give away our rights to independent action on trade matters. Most in fact allow us to be legally sued in court by global cor-
porations, foreign countries and individuals, from taking actions in our own interest. As written, the CETA procurement rules would forbid a city, town, school board or other body included in the deal from preferring one bidding firm over another, based on how much of the content in a certain project was local or Canadian. It is my understanding CETA would also ban municipalities from considering local development benefits when choosing between different bidding firms, whether they were Canadian or
European. There is surely no sense for Canada or B.C. to take away important job-creating tools from its cities by including them. Local purchasing of goods and services is one of the last places where our local government can play a role in fostering sustainable local development, and hiring local people. It is my understanding that it is up to the Province of British Columbia to decide whether Nanaimo and other cities will be bound by these rules. Already I read that 40 municipal
councils, school boards or associations across the country, including large cities like Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga and Victoria, have sought similar protections. I would think that the Cariboo Regional District, and Williams Lake city council (certainly as a Republic), would want to retain all the independent power they can by also requesting to be exempted from this new give-away power, in order to govern in our local interest.

Attack ads offensive; not going to sway votes Editor: I, too, am a concerned citizen. I obviously do not belong to your organization. Your present public behaviour is not up to the standards I set for myself.
Letters aLways weLcome
These attacks ads on a politician are bullying and definitely not something to sway my vote. I can’t see any value in using fear and guilt to garner votes and am offended that you would do so. As I said before, this is not
what I, as a voter, am looking for. It makes me question the value of democracy, when we the citizens (employers of the politicians) are out celebrating because something we didn’t want (and weren’t asked about either) is finally resolved after four years of
hard work on our part and four years of avoidance on their part. Democracy is like a river, if we keep polluting it, what is left? Barb Simser West Chilcotin
apologies matter? Editor: I meant no deception about extreme weather, global warming or runaway climate change. We need effective Canadian climate action started by 2015 in two years. If global temperatures do not double to 1.6C by 2026 just 13 years from now, if they do not pass 2C by 2030 in 17 years, will it be climate gate or global disaster? Global GHG emissions grow exponentially two to three per cent per year. Two per cent growth means 570 ppm of CO2 by 2050. Considering feedback loops, 1,000 ppm of CO2 is possible by 2100. World Bank, IPCC, NOAA, NAS, IEA, CIA, have real concerns. Charles Keeling, Robert Hansen, Isaac Stern, Faith Birol, Bill McKibbon, Lester Brown, Al Gore, Jule Charney, David Schindler, Andrew Nikiforuk, Mark Jaccard, Andrew Weaver, Bill Ress, are no fools and are/were rightfully concerned for us. Stupefying greenwashing can help market Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves globally before any corrective measure can be taken by 2015. In this 2013 election, how likely will effective Canadian climate action come about by 2015? Will Harper, Clark, Redford, Hall, Kent, Oliver, Lake, McQueen, Chevoldayoff and countless promoters profiting on Canada’s fossil-fuels apologize to anyone after passing the tipping point of global warming? Will they admit pervasive fraud about the safety or dangers of Canada’s fossil-fuel reserves, developed, marketed and consumed globally? Will it matter? Us along for the ride to a climate cliff, no apology can ever really matter or make proper amends for irreversible runaway global warming. “I’m so sorry my friend?” No corrective statements will make any difference to any of us. A cautionary tale? What must we each do to help ourselves by 2015? Acknowledge, accept, understand, stand up for universal democratic social justice action. We have two years. I swear it’s not too late. Articulate your voices for effective climate action by 2015. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

Roundtable considers moving Salmon Festival date Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune Regular meetings of the Horsefly River Roundtable have been changed to every other month. There was much to discuss at the Jan. 17 meeting attended by 15 people. Topics included possibilities for moving the Salmon Festival from the Labour Day long weekend to Rivers Day on Sept. 29, which would have the event taking place on the Sept. 28-29. There was discussion on the Horsefly River, as a Fisheries Sensitive Watershed, being ranked number 1 out of the 900 watersheds/sub-basins in the Cariboo region for “at risk,” and should be given provincial desig-
nation. Public meetings will be held sometime in the future regarding the impact of this designation locally. The Salmon Walk trail still has work to be completed when the weather permits, and RCM contracting has been selected to do the work. The outhouse supplied by the Roundtable for visitors has been stored at the Fisheries compound; the conveyor belt that is used for disabled access to the river has been moved to higher ground in the campsite; signs regarding ATV’s and motorcycles have not been installed yet. The new sign for the 150 corner was discussed. It was decided to obtain CRD funding for
educational brochures, and signage for the Salmon Trail. The first funding for stream restoration has come through from the Pacific Salmon Foundation. We are working on more funding. Insurance coverage for Roundtable events was discussed, and a plan evolved. Guy Scharf has indicated DFO wants to support the Roundtable, and the extent of their involvement will be discussed at future meetings. Various ways were discussed on how to get the Roundtable reports out while Bruce was in hospital, from getting a lap top to him and others, none of which proved plausible. There was discussion regarding a co-ordinator for the Roundtable,

and the duties required to be carried out. There was also some discussion about the Roundtable co-managing the land along the Horsefly River which is currently managed by the Land Conservancy. Following discussion on all of the above topics, the annual general meeting was called to order: Ernie Gruhs stepped up to the plate, and took the position as chair of the Roundtable; Barry Booth, Ray LeBourdais, Linda Bartsch, Ernie Gruhs, Charlotte Morrow, Brian Englund, Sue Hemphill, Bruce

Renshi honoured during WKC Provincials Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake Shogun Martial Arts Academy Senseis Sheldon and Lee-Ann Lainchbury had a big surprise in store for one of their own this past weekend when they played host to the World Karate and Kickboxing Council Provincial Championships. That surprise came in the form of a special honour bestowed upon Smithers Shogun Martial Arts Renshi Marwan Abu Khadra. Unbeknownst to Khadra, WKC’s grand master, Shihan Geert Lemmens, had travelled all the way from Heidenberg, Germany, to grant Khadra his seventh dan black belt. Lemmens is the master of the Shogun Martial Arts Academy’s discipline (kadgamala karate). Renshi Mihran Aghvinian also travelled to Williams Lake from Los Angeles, CA., to be a part of the ceremony, which helped kick off the provincial championships. Khadra’s seventh dan was presented to him in recognition of the work he’s done for Shogun
Martial Arts in B.C. “His performance would need a few hours to tell you,” joked Shihan Lemmens. “He’s changing things in people, and I think that’s the most important. If you see these guys the attitude of the students is thanks to education. You will find this where all our students are presenting themselves with a great attitude, and I think that’s most important in education and karate.” Khadra’s friend, teammate and training partner Aghvinian echoed Lemmens’ comments. “It’s an honour to be here today on the day when [Khadra] gets what he deserves, and the only man who could give it to him was our grandmaster, who came all the way from Germany to do this in front of our [Shogun] students so they know how special he is,” Aghvinian said. “We have to give credit to Sheldon and Lee-Ann because they made it happen. We’re very happy and proud to be here and enjoying the event and the people here. They’re very warm-hearted, very nice, welcoming people and I have to say I love

it here.” Khadra said receiving his seventh dan is the greatest honour he could achieve. “It comes from the highest for me,” Khadra said. “There is nothing higher. Shihan Lemmens, getting it from him, for me, is the achievement. It was a surprise and it was a well done surprise. Shihan Lemmens is my father figure and I always look
up to him. If a student asks me a question I ask myself what Shihan would tell me to do.” Khadra and Aghvinian began training with Lemmens in 1977 and, in turn, helped train and prepare Sheldon and Lee-Ann to open their own dojo in Williams Lake.

Team North claims first U16 BC Cup Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer After an exciting weekend of games, practices and training at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan, the North region team defeated Lower Mainland Green 2-1 on April 7 to win the 2013 Female Under 16 BC Cup. Five Williams Lake players — Laine Grace, 13, Ruthie Jackson, 14, Victoria Byer, 15, Stefanie Martin, 14, and Sarah Hermsen, 14 — helped comprise the North region squad, becoming the first team from the region to ever hoist the Female U16 BC Cup. Marissa Nichol (Chetwynd) opened the scoring for Team North in the final, assisted by Cassidy Bell (100 Mile House), followed by the team’s second goal by Katie Young (Quesnel) off passes from Deborah Wraight (Terrace) and Nichol. Both goals were scored within the first seven minutes of the game. Just a couple minutes later, Olivia Ramos (New Westminster) got Lower Mainland Green on the board with help from Amanda Pol-

Williams Lake’s Laine Grace (back row, third from right), Stefanie Martin (back row, second from right), Ruthie Jackson (middle row, second from left), Sarah Hermsen (middle row, left) and Victoria Byer (back row, sixth from right) helped lead Team North to its first U16 Female BC Cup earlier this month. lock (Surrey). The five lakecity players said it was an amazing experience, especially to win the tournament after heading into the tournament the underdogs. “It was a great game,” said Byer, who paired with Jackson to form one of the team’s defensive pairings. “We worked hard and we worked as a team and were all together the whole way. It was a good game for
both teams, because we were both strong.” Jackson added they were fortunate to gain an early advantage, and said hanging on for the one-goal win was a hard-fought effort on everyone’s part. “It was intense,” Jackson said. “All our goals were in the first seven minutes and nobody scored after that. It felt really good to win.” “We were the underdogs and people weren’t
thinking the north would win, so that was cool,” Grace said. The team’s path to the final consisted of a 3-1 win over the Kootenays, a 3-1 victory and a 2-1 triumph against Vancouver Island, plus a 2-1 shootout win in the semifinal over Lower Mainland Green. Williams Lake’s Kelly Call (manager) and Jane Nicol (trainer) travelled with the team to the tournament, which
also had players participate in fitness testing, a social media seminar, a session on strength and conditioning and a banquet, which featured a speech by two-time Canadian Olympic hockey gold medalist, Gina Kingsbury. Byer said the team came together exceptionally well considering they had just a onehour practice session in Duncan to prepare for the tournament.

“We were probably the closest team,” she said. “None of us had really played together but we all came really close together like family.” Jackson and Grace said it was an excellent opportunity to play among the top female players in the province. “The highlight for me was getting the privilege to play with so many great players and meet so many new people,” Jackson said. “Meeting everybody was great,” Grace added. Both Grace and Hermsen were first-year players and will have the opportunity to suit up for Team North next year at the BC Winter Games. Byer, Martin and Jackson will move up to the U18 division next year, where the selection process for Team BC’s squad at the

Team North was coached by Prince George’s Carl Johnston, with Terrace’s Mario Desjardins taking on the assistant coaching duties.

South Lakeside Project to proceed this summer
The City of Williams Lake announces that the project to widen, repave, and add a pedestrian lane to South Lakeside Drive will be undertaken this spring and summer. The project will be completed without long-term borrowing. In addition to repaving, the merge lane from Hodgson Road will be extended to Pioneer Drive, and a pedestrian/bike lane will be added from Hodgson Road to the Seventh Day Adventist School. The bulk of the funding for the project comes from the Pavement Management Plan Reserve, the Capital Reserve, and Community Works Funds. “Council has been planning for this project for a couple of years, saving money so we could do the project without borrowing and adding to the City’s debt,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “We’re proud that now, as the result of strategic planning in our budgets, we are able to complete this project and keep spending within our means. Not only will we be able to repair the road surface, but we will be able to increase safety at two key intersections, and add a lane for those on foot and bikes.” The City has issued an invitation to tender on the project, and it is anticipated construction will begin in June. The City will issue updates on the project as it proceeds.

Quadruplet kids born to Toggenburg nanny goat Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Shannon Macfarlane and her nine-year-old daughter, Saraphine, like to go to the Quesnel small animal auction, because they never know what great deals they might find. Sometimes they come home empty-handed, but as often as not they come across a deal they can‘t pass up. Their menagerie of barnyard animals on their Fox Mountain acreage attests to that, with Winnie the pony, Pom Pom the alpaca, Smokey the sheep, and Rollie the pot belly pig. Three years ago at the auction they got the low bid on what the auctioneer said was a three-yearold Toggenburg wether or castrated male. Shannon knew differently of course because she inspected the animal before placing her bid. “I knew she was a nannie,” Shannon says. “All the rest of the nannies with kids were going for $200 or $300 dollars, but nobody was interested in a three-year-old wether. So I got her for $60 bucks.” Once Shannon won her bid, the handlers turned the Toggenburg around to lead her out of the ring, her full udder was fully visible and it was obvious to everybody that the “he” goat was actually a “she” goat. “I milked Chloe for a whole year and she gave us two litres a day,” she says. At last year’s small animal spring auction Shannon and Saraphine bought a cute 15-week-old billy goat kid they named Rabbit, with an eye to breeding Chloe and start raising goats. But having an eye for something is a lot different than having a nose for it, and by October the rank smell of Rabbit changed their minds on that idea. “Any time I got close to him the aroma was so intense I’d get tears in my eyes,” Shannon says, so she put him up for sale. It took until January for Shannon to find a taker for Rabbit, who went to a nice home with a herd of “girls” to look after. The buyer of the billy asked if they wanted to sell Chloe as well, and Shannon admits she wavered. “At that time we weren’t sure whether Chloe was bred.” As the weather warmed and the days got longer it was soon evident

Goats often have twins and sometimes triplets but it is a rare thing to find a goat having quadruplets, such as the ones being held here by Saraphine and her mom Shannon Macfarlane. Curiously the family purchased the kid’s mother Cloe at auction registered as a neutered male. that Chloe was pregnant. On April 7 Shannon and Saraphine went up to the small animal spring auction in Quesnel, with an eye to possibly buying another milk goat to keep Chloe company. Fortunately Shannon managed to constrain herself. “I managed to sit on my hands and not buy anything,” she says. “Lucky for us, because when we got home Chloe had given birth to four babies. At first we thought she had twins, then we saw a third baby, then a fourth.” Saraphine has already named the new arrivals: Button, Cricket, Bug and Mo. Button is the only female and Saraphine wants to keep her to finally start their herd of goats they have been planning. After all she loves goat milk, so why not. It seems like Rabbit was a good name for the father of the quadruplets. It’s pretty rare to have a litter of goats. “It’s fairly common for goats to have twins, and I’ve heard of triplets before, but never four at one time,” Shannon says.
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK Friday, April 19 Concert coming up for Operation Smile
Two bands and a children’s choir will perform in Williams Lake this week to help raise funds for Operation Smile. The concert takes place April 19 at Cariboo Bethel Church starting at 7 p.m. “We will also have a silent auction to generate funds to help sponsor Operation Smile to do voluntary cleft lip and palate surgeries in third world countries,” says Dr. Stefan de Swardt. He says the concert is free but they will accept donations for the cause. He says a single cleft lip/palate surgery in a developing country costs $240 but any donation is welcome and eligible for tax deductible receipts. Operation Smile Williams Lake is a group of people from all walks of life who have a passion to help children with cleft lip and palates in developing countries. “We do not participate directly with outreaches/ operations but we do help with raising funds to support the Operation Smile volunteer team to do these procedures and help children who do not have access to essential services like cleft lip/palate surgery,” de Swardt says. To date he says the local group has held several fundraisers and sponsored 18 surgeries.
Saturday, April 27 Hospital Trust wine tasting

Cariboo Festival Speech Arts open to all ages Michelle Erlandson Special to The Tribune The Cariboo Festival Speech Arts section ended strong last week with a stellar performance by Mary Trott. It was so awesome to have the Speech Arts discipline open with a five-year-old girl, Abby Ostrom, performing Sure Sign by Arnold Spilk and then to end with Trott’s mesmerizing sight reading of Life of Pi by Yann Martel. In between the first and the last works of the speech art performances were some other inspiring works from local artists. Melissa Glover, from Prince George, adjudicated this year’s speech art entrants. Glover recommended some local performers on to the provincial festival. Glover is a graduate of Mount Royal University’s theatre performance program. While living in Calgary she had the opportunity to work with several directors and actors involved in the theatre community. Favourite credits in Calgary include Spring Awakening, Crimes of the Heart, and Our Town. She then moved back home to Prince George

Maureen Hollins adjudicates Cariboo Festival piano section The Cariboo Festival continues this week with the piano section of competition taking place April 15-18 at Calvary Church with adjudicator Maureen Hollins. Hollins’ early piano training was with Audrey Mallinson and Glen Geary. She continued piano study with Dale Reubart, Phyllis Schuldt and Winifred Scott Wood, and studied composition with Jean Coulthard. Her education includes Performer’s Diplomas from both the Royal Conserva-
tory of Music and the Victoria Conservatory of Music; a Bachelor of Music Degree in performance piano from the University of British Columbia; the Professional Development Program from Simon Fraser University; and a Masters of Divinity Degree from the Vancouver School of Theology. Hollins established her piano studio in Surrey in the late 1970s, and since that time has adjudicated music festivals throughout British Columbia. As a clinician,
she presents master classes and workshops for teachers and students. Hollins’ students are recipients of numerous awards from local festivals, and the Victoria Conservatory. She is half of the Hollins and Condie Duo, which is a collaboration in pedagogy as well as piano performance. Maureen loves to teach. Sharing the skill of piano playing and the meaning of music with our young people is a challenge and an honour.
young children, seniors, and people with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems. “This year we saw an increase in cases of whooping cough (pertussis) here in Interior Health and some parts of our province experienced significant outbreaks,” said Dr. Rob Parker, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “This is an important reminder that we need to keep our immunization rates high to help prevent outbreaks like this from happening.” “Vaccines don’t just prevent diseases; they also reduce the possibility of serious complica-
tions or death associated with vaccine-preventable diseases. Mumps, measles, and rubella viruses can lead to potentially deadly complications like pneumonia and encephalitis. Whooping cough (pertussis) and meningitis C bacteria can cause brain damage or death,” explained Dr. Parker. “The main side effects associated with getting vaccines are minor and temporary, such as a sore arm or mild fever. The likelihood of having a serious side effect from a vaccine is extremely small. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.” Factual vaccine information can help people
Maureen Hollins
make informed decisions about their health and the health of their families. It is very important to make sure you get vaccine information from reliable and credible sources. The ImmunizeBC website www.immunizeBC.ca or your local public health nurse are excellent sources of in-
formation about vaccinations. For more information: Call your local public health centre. Check the Interior Health website at www.interiorhealth. ca/YourHealth/Immunization/Pages/default. aspx. Submitted by Lesley Coates, Interior Health communications officer.

VISION AND HEARING
Your Preschooler and… Vision and Hearing Hearing and vision will be an important part of your child’s learning when they go to school. Good vision helps a child see and understand what is happening around them. Actions like reaching, running, catching and balancing all involve skill in eye-hand coordination. Watch for signs that your child may have an eye problem and see your family doctor or optometrist if you are concerned.
Signs that your child may have an eye problem are: • holding objects very closely; • avoiding picture books, puzzles or other near distance activities; • tilting the head, using an unusual posture or covering one eye when looking at something; • too much blinking, squinting or eye rubbing; • complaining of headaches; • drooping upper eyelids or eyes turned in or out; • red, burning, itchy eyes; • trouble catching, building, balancing or doing other eye-hand coordination activities. Signs that your child may have trouble hearing are: • regular ear infections; • not responding to sound well, or responding better when speech is loud; • having trouble telling where sounds are coming from; • developing speech late.
Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Play games such as throwing and catching a ball and balancing or building blocks to help develop eye-hand coordination. 2. Show how important it is to protect the eyes to avoid eye injuries. Model using eye protection around dangerous materials or equipment. Store poisons out of reach of your child to help prevent eye injuries. 3. Sunglasses are recommended for children, as well as adults. Be sure they offer 99-100% UVA and UVB protection. 4. Show your child the proper way to handle sharp objects like toys with pointed ends. Provide simple rules for your child, such as, “We walk, not run, when we have sharp objects in our hands.” If possible, provide children’s blunt scissors for your child to use instead of sharp ones. 5. Talk, sing and read to your child — enjoy playing with sounds — all the activities listed on page 3. 6. Washing hands well helps to prevent ear infections. Show your preschoolers how to take care of their health by washing their hands with soap and warm water. This will help when they are ready to go to school. 7. Show your child ways to protect his or her hearing by avoiding loud sounds, or wearing ear protection when around loud sounds, including loud music.
Contact your local school or 250-398-3839 for more information on this program for 3 and 4 year olds & their parent/care giver.

Good hearing is important for speech and language development. Children who have trouble hearing fi nd learning to read more diffi cult. By age three your child will hear and understand most of what is said and will listen to stories and can answer questions. Watch for signs that your child may have trouble hearing. See your family doctor if you are concerned. Some ways to protect your child’s hearing are to keep your child in a smoke-free environment as smoke causes increased ear infections, and when cleaning the ears, don’t use cotton swabs or anything in the ear canal.
Protect yourself and others, get immunized In the last 50 years, immunization has saved more lives in Canada than any other health intervention. April 20 to 27 is National Immunization Awareness Week, and this year, Interior Health would like to remind you that we can all play an important role in stopping the spread of vaccine preventable diseases. When most people are vaccinated for a disease, it makes it harder for that disease to spread from person to person. When people stop immunizing, diseases come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable like
