SD 27 superintendent pleased with memorandum agreement outcome Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer In response to Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’ Association president Murray Helmer, who said late last month that some full time teachers have not yet found full time jobs, superintendent Mark Thiessen told the Tribune School District 27 is pleased with the outcome of the Memorandum of Agreement.

He said the agreement ensured all teachers in the district had access to any posted position in which they were qualified for and had the seniority to secure the position, also noting that the agreement was signed by the

CCTA, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the B.C. Public School Employer’s Association and the school district.

“Of the 18 teachers from Buffalo Creek, Glendale, and Kwaleen elementary schools, 14 of them maintained their full time status, three of them increased their full-time equivalent, and one chose to slightly decrease their FTE. All teachers, other than retiring teachers, holding permanent positions at 100 Mile Junior, Williams Lake secondary, and Columneetza secondary maintained their FTE with transitions to PSO and Lake City secondary,” Thiessen said.

Thiessen also said that moving crews are on schedule, transferring teaching resources and teachers’ belongings from one school to another.

Transfers from Kwaleen are complete, and Buffalo Creek and 100 Mile Jr. are nearing completion, he said, while Glendale transfers, due to the alternate calendar just began last week.

Teachers, however are responsible for unpacking their own resources and setting up their new classrooms, he said.

Helmer had earlier raised concerns that teachers will have to spend part of their summer to organize their materials for the

coming year.

As part of the changes to accommodate new students, the school district has also had to move three portables to Chilcotin Road in order to accommodate the influx of students from Kwaleen, said Thiessen.

“When the board decided to have all Kwaleen students attend Chilcotin Road, a third portable at Chilcotin Road became necessary,” he said.

Other elementary school students will be moving from Glendale to Cataline elementary (year-round program) and Nesika (French immersion) as part of changes in the school district taking effect this fall.

Taseko reports results for its second quarter For the three month period ending June 30, Taseko Mines Ltd. reported it had gross profit before depreciation of $12.9 million and cash flow from operations of $27.7 million.

“This compares to gross profit before depreciation of $13.2 million and cash flow from operations of ($7.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013,” the company noted in a press release.

Taseko recorded a net loss of $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, primarily attributable to a write-down of marketable securities and an unrealized foreign exchange loss.

“The $28 million of cash flow from operations is the best indicator of Gibraltar’s performance in the second quarter,” said Taseko’ CEO and president Russell Hallbauer.

“With major capital

spending behind us, we are now generating robust cash flow at current copper prices, which will allow us to build on our already strong cash balance of $93 million.”

“The first operating quarter of our new, fully integrated facility has gone exceptionally well. In our view, the 35 per cent increase in tons milled and 21 per cent increase in copper production, quarterover-quarter, is a great

Stats Can shows 5.9 per cent three-month unemployment figures Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The three-month average unemployment rate, ending in July was 5.9 per cent for the Cariboo Region.

“That represents about 5,200 people,” said Vincent Ferrao, analyst for Labour Statistic Division at Stats Canada.

There were about 83,000 people working in the region for the same period.

“A year ago the unemployment rate was higher. It was 8.1 per cent last July, but there were about 7,600 people unemployed and the number of people working was about 86,000.”

The unemployment rate fell in 2013 because

there were fewer people in the labour market, Ferrao explained.

Within the employed numbers, in July 2013 7,500 people were working in natural resources, compared to 8,000 the same time last year.

Manufacturing saw a decline from 10,400 people in 2013 compared to 13,000 in 2012.

There was an increase in food and accommodation services, with 6,300 employed in 2013 compared to 4,900 in 2012. There was also an increase in public administration from 2,000 in 2012 to 4,500 in 2013.

“You do have to be careful with the industry numbers though because they’re smaller than the total numbers,

and they tend to fluctuate,” Ferrao explained.

Ferrao didn’t have any specifics for student summer employment for the Cariboo region.

In a report issued Friday by Stats Canada, among returning students in Canada aged 20 to 24, the employment rate was 69.7 per cent in July, similar to the rate observed in July 2012. Their unemployment rate was 9.1 per cent, little changed from the previous year.

The employment rate for 17- to 19-yearold students was 59.0 per cent in July, similar to the rate observed 12 months earlier.

Their unemployment rate, at 16.8 per cent, was little changed compared with July 2012.

Improvements have continued into the third quarter, specifically to concentrator availability and reliability.

This resulted in average daily throughput of approximately 74,000 tons per calendar day being achieved in July and over the last half of July, the concentrators averaged in excess of 83,000 tons per calendar day.

NEWS Co-op students tread province-wide for recycling Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Promoting the recycling of used oil, antifreeze and tires, two co-op students have been travelling around the province on behalf of the BC Used Oil Management Association and Tire Stewardship BC. Sonia Sandhu and Jordana Fridman are one of two teams who have been spreading awareness this summer throughout the Lower Mainland, Northern B.C. and now, the Interior as part of B.C. Used Oil Ambassadors program.

As part of their tour, including a stop in Williams Lake last week, they have been visiting recycling collection facilities — places that will accept used tires, oil and antifreeze and send them along to a recycling facility.

The team has also been spreading awareness about the recycling opportunities.

“We’re targeting a

lot of do-it-yourselfers. People who do their own oil changes and do their own tire changes,” said Fridman.

“There are these places where people who do their own car services can drop off their used oil and tire materials instead of them ending up in landfills or going down drains and harming the environment or our animals,” she said.

The team emphasizes sustainability, and the harm to the environment if materials aren’t properly disposed of.

“One drop of oil contaminates a million drops of water,” Sandhu said, adding that a danger of not recycling is oil seeping into the ground during a rain storm.

Equally important is that people bring their recyclables in during regular business hours, so that the facilities that are set up to accept them are able to do so without

any contamination, she said.

When used oil and antifreeze are brought to these facilities they are sent to a processing plant where they are cleared of toxins, dehydrated, chemically cleaned and then turned into refined lube oil and refined antifreeze, the team said.

Tires are chopped up and turned into a rubber mulch that can be used in different types or rubber padding, commonly seen in playgrounds and athletic turfs.

Earlier in the summer the students toured Newalta, a used oil processing plant in North Vancouver.

There they were impressed to discover at least 12 different types of by-products made from used oil.

“Nothing recycled is wasted, that’s for sure,” said Sandhu.

The team’s motto, “Every drop. Every tread. Every day. Turn your used oil, antifreeze and scrap tires

Response has been “extremely positive,” both Sandhu and Fridman say, adding that their summer has been quite rewarding.

“We both believe in sustainability and we both want to promote

protecting the environment. When we saw this job it was a chance to do something that was amazing. Personally, we both care about the environment a lot, and travelling across the province

making a difference in whatever way that we are meant a lot to us,” said Fridman.

Sensible BC campaign tour blazes way through Williams Lake Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Seated around a table in the Boston Pizza downstairs, a small but engaged group of various ages discussed Sensible BC’s campaign for a marijuana referendum with director Dana Larsen last Thursday, Aug. 8.

Larsen is currently undergoing a whirlwind tour of B.C., with plans to visit 32 Interior towns in 10 days, in hopes of promoting the campaign for a marijua-

na referendum and signing up canvassers to collect signatures come fall.

Williams Lake was Larsen’s eighth stop of the tour, and he said he has been pleased with the turnout so far.

“We’re talking to groups like this, not huge crowds. As long as we can get a few good people in each town, a good base in each district then we’ll be alright,” he said, adding that he hopes to get around 50 canvassers from each voting district in

the province.

Starting on Sept. 9, Sensible BC will be collecting signatures from registered voters from across the province for 90 days, in an effort to put their Sensible Policing Act to referendum.

If they can collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered voters in every electoral district in B.C. the act could be put to referendum in 2014.

Only people who have signed up before Sept. 9 are authorized to collect signatures,

however, so Larsen is carrying the Elections BC forms with him during his tour around B.C. and says they are also available to fill out online.

The Sensible Policing Act aims to effectively decriminalize marijuana by directing police to stop enforcing marijuana possession laws.

It would mandate that “no time or resources are to be spent searching or arresting anybody for marijuana possession,” said Larsen, adding that this is already mostly

the case in Vancouver, but that the rest of B.C. has seen a bigger focus on the enforcement of marijuana possession laws in recent years.

The legislation also calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that B.C. can legally regulate its cultivation and sale.

In a poll done earlier this year by Strategic Communications, Sensible BC found that 70 per cent of British Columbians supported the Sensible Policing Act.

“We found that in every demographic group there was majority support for our legislation,” Larsen said. “Even with conservatives. In every age group, younger people, older people, everybody that we could find, there was majority support for our legislation, so it’s time for these laws to come into place.”

“People are often surprised at who supports it, and people who are worried or afraid of getting involved in our campaign are often pleas-

antly surprised at the support they get,” he added.

At this point, Larsen says he is “not looking to change minds,” about pot reform, but rather “looking to motivate people who want to see this change happen.”

Those interested in canvassing for Sensible BC can contact local volunteer coordinator Amy Carruthers at carrutherston@gmail.com or find out more information at sensiblebc. ca.

“The proposed changes would result in traffic patterns that are different than what was presented at the open house on June 26,” MOT communications manager Kate Trotter confirmed in an e-mail.

After an open house was held June 26 on

Lightning sparks 25 new fires in region Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Twenty-five new lightning sparked wildfires kept the Cariboo Fire Centre busy during the weekend.

Wildfire Management Branch crews, airtankers, helicopters and heavy equipment were all used to action the fires, said CFC fire information officer Greig Bethel, adding there was one person-caused wildfire near the Gibraltar Mine area.

The number of phone reports received from the public allowed the Cariboo Fire Centre to respond to the fires quickly and efficiently, Bethel said. “They were mostly small spot fires.”

Currently there are 28 active wildfires in the CFC, including a 1,200-hectare fire in Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park, northeast of Anahim Lake; a 12-hectare fire in the West/East Twin creeks drainage, southwest of 70 Mile House; and an 11-hectare fire near Till Lake, west of Williams Lake.

Anyone in the vicinity of Till Lake on Saturday afternoon would have noticed the air action. For several hours there were planes flying north of the Till Lake recreation site.

“We started receiving calls about smoke in the vicinity of Till Lake just before three o’clock and then a birddog went out to do surveillance about 3:10 p.m.,” Bethel said.

The fire was then actioned with airtankers at about 3:30 p.m. and continued action until about 5:15 p.m.

Crews were on scene at about 6 p.m. and part of the unit crew from 100 Mile House arrived at 8 p.m.

The current fire danger rating in the Cariboo Fire Centre is high with areas of extreme.

Both the campfire ban and open burning prohibition remain in effect.

On Friday, Aug. 9, the CFC expanded its campfire ban to include

all areas west of Highway 97 from the Cottonwood River north of Quesnel to 150 Mile House, including the Kluskus, Nazko, Chilcotin, McLeese Lake and Williams Lake regions, as well as the Chilcotin, 100 Mile House and Interlakes regions.

The campfire ban boundary, starting from the west at Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, follows the Cariboo and Prince George fire centres boundary east to Highway 97, south to 150 Mile House, east again along the Redeaux Lake FSR (2300 Road), and then follows the Central Cariboo-100 Mile House forest districts boundary to Wells Gray Provincial Park.

ix of our family members are Leos, born between July 23 and Aug. 22. Two more are on the cusp.

Last week, one Leo turned 30, one 40, one 50. The latter was my youngest son and it’s hard to say which one of us was feeling the most “older.” *** GDs#6 and 7 keep life interesting. The other day GD#7 was scrambling for a drink of water after she’d eaten some chocolate.

She said her mouth was too sweet.

She likes to cook, standing on a chair wearing one French of my Connection aprons Diana French which touches her toes.

She’s good at mixing stuff.

GD#6’s campaign for a new bicycle became a success thanks to the family’s elderly horse. Horse has unsteady legs, and it was snoozing in the shade in the carport when it fell over and landed sitting on the bike. Horse is fine.

Bike expired from its injuries. *** The following stories have been circulating on the Internet for months but haven’t had much play in the mainstream media.

1.) In the Alberta tar sands millions of litres of bitumen emulsion are spewing in boreal forest land owned by Canada’s military and traditional Cold Lake First Nations territory. The leak/spill was discovered in March. The company involved, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNRL) is working to clean up the mess, but according to reports, it is unclear what caused it, or when it will stop.

CNRL admits it should have done more to communicate with the public.

2.) A spokesman for Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority task force says the Fukushima nuclear plant, crippled by the 2011 earthquake/tsunami, is facing an emergency as highly radioactive groundwater is likely seeping into the sea. Both the Japanese government and TEPCO, the company involved, are uncertain what do to about it.

What’s scary is that nobody seems to know how to stop anything that’s happening.

Protect your pooch Repetition works wonders.

Repetition works wonders.

The topic here is dogs and hot weather and here goes the plea, once again (and it naturally goes double for children, where applicable).

The short-form of this message would be to simply suggest dogs be left at home far more often than they are.

We’re not formally linked with the SPCA, by the way, just interested in much of what it promotes.

The longer form stresses the fact of how fast a vehicle heats up once the air conditioning goes off, how hot pavement can be for the feet of a pooch on a 30C+ day and how there’s no way a panting tongue alone can properly cool an animal sporting a thick fur coat.

Sure this is all repeated every summer but, just like drinking-and-driving warnings, it’s well worth repeating if the lives of only one or two pets are spared or made more comfortable.

One last thing: If you have your sheepdog or pug in the car with you during this hot weather and you really are only going to leave them for a minute or two, please try to be tolerant if someone takes you to task in a parking lot.

It’s because they care.

Hopefully they won’t go overboard.

Then again, why not avoid any possible conflict and just leave the dog at home near the water dish?

ast week, I had the chance to tour northwestern B.C. in my role as Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. I met with a large number of people, including fellow ministers, local politicians, municipal staff, and business and community leaders, to discuss how to ensure that resource-based communities attract families and remain vibrant in times of economic growth. The rapidly-growing LNG industry will be a major MLA economMusings ic engine for our Coralee Oakes province, and it’s important to make sure northern communities share in the benefits.

My trip began in Terrace, where I had the chance to meet with a delegation from New Hazelton, including two local organizations that have received Community Gaming Grants from my ministry, and with the Terrace City Council together with Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett. From there, I travelled to Prince Rupert, where I attended a dinner held by the Chamber of Commerce. The next day, Minister Rustad and I met with the Prince Rupert City Council and the Port Edward Town Council, and a little later I met with Ken Veldman of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. That evening, I travelled to Terrace and had a working dinner with the Terrace Chamber, and wrapped up the trip the next day with a meeting with the Kitimat City Council and the Kitimat Stikine Regional District.

The trip was a great way to get to know northwestern B.C. and discuss what the LNG opportunity will mean for this region.

Our government recently released an LNG Action Plan detailing how the LNG sector is expected to grow and the jobs that will be created as a result. Expanding the LNG industry will mean the construction of export facilities, transfer stations, jetties and pipelines in northeastern B.C., with the ports of Kitimat and Prince Rupert playing a key role.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Jobs will keep families in region Editor:

I note that I have been classed as being in favour of the Taseko Corporation’s Prosperity mine project.

I guess this is true, so the question becomes what does the mine do for me, a man of almost 80.

Certainly I have no plans to work on the project, so why should I care if the mine goes forward or not.

As a father of four children each born in the Bella Coola hospital I recognize how important it is for one’s children to live, get their education and find employment, get married, and raise their families as near as possible to the home of their upbringing surrounded by the heritage, and so very many of their dear and beloved family.

None of my children, and none of my grandchildren or great grandchildren remain living in the Bella Coola Valley; Bella Coola was a virtual one industry community almost totally dependent on a rapidly diminishing forest resource.

As this forest resource diminished greater numbers of the community had to travel further and further afield to provide for the needs and wants of their family.

Bella Coola, much like Nemiah, is an extraordinarily beautiful place, rushing waters, a land of natural resources, striking snow covered mountains, simply a year round paradise.

Tourists that make the journey by vehicle, plane or ferry swear Bella Coola is one of the most beautiful places they have seen.

As leaders of Nemiah have told me that they wish to develop tourism as a foundation of their economic development plans, the Bella Coola Valley is also a rich and resourceful tourist destination.

However as we can see here in the greater community of Williams Lake, tourism is only one small slice of Williams Lake’s economic pie, to attract tourists to an area requires more than being located at some important juncture, such as Horsefly, Barkerville, Likely or Soda Creek, it takes having a very aggressive and expensive marketing plan, couple that with years and years of waiting for the tourist fish to bite.

Letters aLways weLcome

Name change lacks passion Editor:

When I asked Marilyn Baptiste, then Nemiah Band chief, how the band was doing in keeping their children from leaving, I did not get an answer.

As I look at my own Bella Coola born family, I know the answer, children leave when there is no employment to keep them there.

Re: Name change of secondary school.

The name chosen for the secondary school configuration, Lake City Secondary School, captures the total lack of imagination and passion in our education system today.

A second suggestion in light of school closures and cutbacks might be Save-On Secondary.

Former Williams Laker promotes seniors club

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Former Williams Lake resident Muriel Dodge hopes her enthusiasm will rub off.

She’s a B.C. director for PROBUS — clubs for retired professional and business persons, former executives and others — and has been involved with a group in Salmon Arm for a decade.

“I’ve met so many interesting people since I joined. Our paths would never have crossed,” Dodge said.

The club was first started in England in the 1960s by some Rotarians who used to take the train into London for meetings and were reaching an age where they didn’t want to do Rotary anymore.

“They decided they should form a social club where they could get together and talk because they all really liked each other,” Dodge explained.

From England it grew to Australia and New Zealand.

“They say down there there’s one every twenty feet because it’s so popular with retired people.”

The first Canadian club was formed in 1987 in Brampton, Ont. Today there are more than 200 clubs in Canada, ranging from 20 to 200 members.

Most of the clubs are combined male and female, but there are a few that are exclusively male or female.

Dodge said PROBUS provides a way for retired people to get together and to meet new retirees.

Meetings are held monthly, normally in the morning, and include a meeting and a guest speaker.

At a PROBUS meeting in Kamloops, a Thompson Rivers University nursing instructor spoke at one of the meetings about a Pig It Forward program in the South Africa.

Eight-year-old Marcus Deausy races around the track during the Williams Lake Dirt Riders Association and the B.C. Motocross Association’s Championship Series in Williams Lake Sunday.

Riders put talent on display Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Rounds 14 and 15 of the B.C. Motocross Association Championship Series were in Williams Lake Aug. 10-11, and Williams Lake riders were at the forefront for much of the weekend.

The two-day event, which continues Sept. 14-15 in Williams Lake with rounds 15 and 16, featured more than 300 entries showcasing riders ages four to 50-plus from around the province.

Williams Lake pro rider Brock Hoyer also hosted a riding clinic for several youth Saturday night at the track.

“We saw loads of great, natural talent,” said Tammy Deausy, treasurer with the event-host Williams Lake Dirt Riders Association. “It was an amazing race weekend.”

The BCMA Championship Series works on a points system based on two races per event each day. Each rider’s points are then tallied after each day to award an overall winner in each class.

In the 50cc, four- to six-yearold class, Devin MacGregor and James Wilker rounded out the top three at second and third, respectively. Moving up a division, Marcus Deausy, 8, cleaned up in the 65cc class, and finished second overall in the 85cc seven- to 11-year-old class. Meanwhile, in

WL scoops bronze at Kamloops invitational Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer An 18-year tradition rolled on successfully over the B.C. Day long weekend for a team of Williams Lake soccer players at the 23rd Annual Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament.

There, Williams Lake picked up a bronze medal in the women’s recreational ‘A’ division at the tournament, which features more than 100

teams annually and six men’s and six women’s divisions ranging from competitive open to recreational ‘C.’ In the bronze-medal match Williams Lake was paired up with Kamloops’ BW Spice, winning a tightly-contested 1-0 match.

Haylie Shoults picked up the winner after a nicely setup cross from Morgan Whitehouse.

“Our defense was strong and we allowed only a few shots on

net,” said team organizer and goalkeeper Regan Ernst of the shutout.

Williams Lake began the tournament Saturday, Aug. 3 against the Calgary Eastside Athletics — winning 4-2. Goal scorers were Ashley Callander (2), Christina Meredith (1) and Cora Kelly (1). Ernst said keeper Caitlin Sabatino was fantastic in net.

“Our team was nervous at the beginning

of the game as Calgary was young, fit and their coach was leading them in organized team warmups,” Ernst said. “They looked very daunting.”

In game two Saturday afternoon Williams Laked edged FC Magic Academy of Edmonton, 2-1. Scorers were Ashley and Shoults.

“They almost tied the game but the goal was called back offside with a lot of controversy,” Ernst said.

Williams Lake’s winning ways continued on Sunday against Ragazze United of Calgary.

“All we had to do was score two goals and we were through to the ‘A’ semifinal,” Ernst said.

Ragazze United scored first, leaving Williams Lake trailing by one at the half.

Shoults scored first to tie it for Williams Lake, before Pilzek got a hold of one from 40 yards out for the

game winner. Ashley scored later to ice the win at 3-1 for Williams Lake.

Sunday evening’s ‘A’ semifinal against Vancouver was a tougher match, Ernst said.

“We lost 2-1 in a shootout,” she said.

“They were winning 1-0 at the half. Ashley tied it on a penalty shot, then we went to penalty kicks and their first three shooters scored and our first three shooters missed.”

She added the tournament is always a lot of fun and gives some former local talent a chance to reconnect with past teammates.

“It’s always a great time and our team brings back players that have at one time or another played in the Williams Lake Soccer League like Kelsey Callander, Morgan Whitehouse, Glenda Maclean, Lauren Pilzek, Angela Hay-Vicars and Niki Siddall.”

Riding clinic a hit: Hoyer Continued From Page A9 “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “He’s really fast — eighth best in Canada right now — that’s pretty good.”

On Sunday Williams Lake riders continued to dominate the track.

MacGregor and Wilker finished second and third, respectively, in the 50cc fourto six-year-old class, while Cayden Kunka Vedan snatched up first overall in the 50cc seven- to eight-year-

old division.

Marcus, again, finished well ahead of the competition in Sunday’s 65cc moto, and managed a first overall finish in the 85cc class. Thomas Kaiser picked up second overall in the 65cc event.

In the schoolboy division Perron, repeating his Saturday performance, picked up third overall. Ethan Desmond, in the junior MX-3 event, finished second. The junior B event saw Oosting finish one

spot back of his Saturday performance, in third.

In the junior MX-1 it was Sellars taking first overall.

The intermediate MX-2 result was also the same as on Saturday, with Methot and Nelson occupying the one and two spot.

In the ladies’ events Denyka Carrier took second overall, with Samantha Wilde finishing third.

Hoyer, again, was dominant in his events, winning the Pro MX-1 and Youth

race, while Nelson and Methot took second and third in the youth race.

Hoyer said his riding clinic Saturday for kids ages eight to 16 and went really well.

“I had 20 kids from Houston up north down to Kamloops,” he said. “We did a lot of practicing and things like that. Everybody had a lot of fun.”

Maureen Byman shows off her garden, a lush oasis filled with flowers above the dry banks of the Fraser River. Her garden, which she has been working on for 14 years, blooms continuously from April until October.

Garden flourishes above Fraser River Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Perched on a terrace above the Fraser River, Maureen Byman has created an unlikely lush oasis filled with flowers.

Byman has spent years working on her garden, which has at least five flower beds and many more flowers planted around the yard.

“My intention lay in creating a really pretty yard and landscape,” she says.

Now, 14 years later, the gardens just keep growing.

“Maureen can’t have anything without flowers around it,” Byman says of herself, pointing out a functioning outhouse on her property decorated with a border of flowers.

When Byman and her husband Everett retired to the Cariboo from Prince George in 1997, they refitted a barn to live in. Since that time they have built a house and started a small haying operation.

Byman started planting flowers in 1999 as something to do.

“I don’t knit and I don’t sew and I can’t hike anymore, so I have to be busy. You can only clean your house so much,” she says, laughing. She added that her house is

much cleaner in the winter because she has no flowers to look after.

Although she spends much of her time researching flowers before she plants them — a well thumbed copy of Flora, a book containing descriptions of over 20,000 plants that is often known as the “Gardener’s Bible,” sits by her chair — Byman says her approach to laying out a flower bed is unorthodox.

“I’ve taken some landscaping classes. They like you to take a hose and plan it all out, then lay out your shrubs, etc.,” she says.

“I did it completely backwards.

I planted it first and after everything was planted I then thought, I need some shrubs.”

Nevertheless Byman’s flower beds are beautiful, filled with flowers and plants including hardy northern roses, lilies and Heuchera — one of her favourite types of plants.

“Their foliage is just so beautiful,” Byman says.

It takes Byman about five years to get the proper growth in her flower beds.

“It takes plants a couple of years to get their roots down, and if they’re happy they’ll grow really

well. If they’re not happy you have to move them and find something else that will work,” she says.

When Byman plants, she also works to make sure her gardens bloom in succession. She starts in April with snow drops and crocuses and the garden stays colourful until October.

Her flower beds also have different colour schemes throughout the year, some starting pink and purple and white in the spring and changing to yellow, orange and royal blue as the seasons change.

“I like it early spring, and then I like it when all the lilies are blooming,” she says showing off a lily regal that “scents up the whole yard.”

“I don’t think I have a garden without lilies,” she says. “I don’t think I could plant a garden without lilies.”

Despite being located farther south than her previous home in Prince George, Byman says it is more difficult to garden here.

“This climate is actually more challenging,” she says.

In the late fall it gets cold without snow cover to keep the plants warm. Byman does her best to put mulch and other cover over her plants to make sure they survive

the winter.

On top of that, the climate is drier and for many years Byman didn’t have a water connection in order to water her flowers.

“Nothing got really well watered,” she says “And water is the key issue for plants.”

Three years ago Byman’s husband put in an electric pump and ever since Byman has been able to water to her “heart’s content.”

“I probably over water now,” she laughs. “The plants just look so happy when they have water.”

In the summer, watering takes up a good portion of Byman’s time, however with the water she says come the weeds. She also works on keeping her garden edged and her flowers deadheaded.

“There is a lot of deadheading,” she says, reaching up to remove some spent flowers in her garden.

Once a plant has finished blooming Byman will often cut it back. “That opens the garden again and you see a different aspect of it,” she says.

Byman’s latest project is making a living wall next to her driveway out of different kinds of drought hardy plants.

“I like the challenge and seeing how things come together.”

The next Boys and Girls Club event is the annual street party on Tuesday, Aug. 13 from 5 to 9 p.m. open to all kids and families throughout Williams Lake and surrounding communities. It’s completely free and open to everyone, and there is something for every age of kid.

Friday morning market a community staple Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Farmer’s Market has been a staple of the community for well over 15 years.

Located at Boitanio Park for the past six years, the market runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday morning until Thanksgiving weekend.

The farmer’s market hosts a variety of booths with goodies from around the area.

Vendors selling fresh fruit, local vegetables, garlic, honey and bannock made as you watch.

Debbie Lloyd, of Whiskey Creek Acres, is a former organizer of the farmer’s market, and attends every week to sell vegetables grown on her acreage.

“I’m here every Friday, like clockwork,” she says, laughing before helping a customer choose some produce.

Her stands includes the bright orange of carrots, reds of radishes and of course, the bright greens of various types of lettuce.

The farmer’s market is the only place Lloyd sells her vegetables. It takes her two days to pick enough produce for the morning event.

Vonny Johnston, the market manager, says although the market got off to a slow start this year because of the weather, things are picking up.

“We’ve got honey and garlic in right now, and we’re the best source of local veggies and products,” she said. “You can’t get any fresher than picked this morning.”

Draws for $50 in fruit are made every week at the market, and there is a monthly draw for $50 worth of coupons to spend at the different vendors

Christy Steward and Isaac Steward of Dancing Goat Coffee thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere at the Friday evening Oliver Street Market — meeting new friends and introducing delicacies like fresh-brewed home-roasted coffees.

Oliver Street Market full of Friday evening fun LeRae Haynes

Special to The Tribune Oliver Street Market vendors Christy Steward and Isaac Steward from Dancing Goat Coffee say the best thing about being part of the downtown market is the people.

“Always different and you meet so many unique individuals,” Christy said.

“We get our regulars‚ and this is almost like having our own little coffee shop,” Isaac added. “The vendors are really great and everybody helps everybody out.”

Isaac explained that they started out selling their own roasted coffee at the market.

“We get our green beans from a supplier in Vancouver who does direct trade with farms they deal with, and roast them in our basement,” he said. “We were asked repeatedly for brewed coffee by the cup at the market so we changed things up. We also brought in things like chocolate-covered coffee beans and iced coffee.”

The market was moved from Gardner

Park next to city hall to the old Courthouse Square at the corner of Oliver and 1st Avenue.

Vendor and board member Karen Thompson said that although they loved the ‚ green space‚ in the park, they wanted to be wheelchair accessible and needed room to expand.

“We are a friendly bunch of people who enjoy getting together every Friday evening to socialize, and to shop; we like to support,” she explained. “I love how we all help each other.

It’s a great place for family and friends to gather on a Friday evening and it’s free.”

The market brings together community, producers, crafts people, artisans, and musicians in a social downtown meeting place, according to Thompson, who said that she and her husband Clint Thompson look forward to the market every Friday.

“We get to showcase our San Jose Cattle Company ranch and meat products and enjoy this fun, social event,” she said.

“Oliver Street Market welcomes everyone to stop by and see what’s up, and in fact a young man who was visiting our town stopped in the shade to rest and play his gui-

tar. He said the farmers market appeared‚ and he stayed and played for us; he said he thinks Williams Lake is an awesome town.”

She said that the expanding Oliver Street Market welcomes new vendors as well as musicians and people to provide children’s activities.

“We are a member of the B.C. Farmers Market Association, and to be a vendor the main requirement is that you are a local producer or are using local product to make your items.”
