Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer When he closes his eyes and thinks back to the Second World War Harris Wilkinson shakes his head. “It’s not a very healthy looking picture,” the 95-year-old Williams
Lake veteran said. “Even today the world situation looks bad. I don’t know what to expect.” As a private, Wilkinson served in Canada and Europe. After he received a notice in 1942, telling him his services were required, he left Williams Lake and enlisted with the Canadian
Army in Vernon on April 4. He did basic training for two months and then took an electrical course in Calgary. Two weeks later he was sent to Edmonton to assemble fluorescent lamps for an Air Force airframe shop. When the 22 Engineers were moved from Nanaimo to the Port

Alberni Camp, Wilkinson was deployed there also. “We were put to work building bridges and roadways to bring reinforcements to the infantry,” Wilkinson recalled.

LEST WE FORGET: REMEMBRANCE DAY 2014
Remembrance Day services set for Tuesday Several events are planned to mark Remembrance Day in Williams Lake. Beginning at 9 a.m., Tuesday Nov. 11, the public is invited to the Cariboo Memorial Complex’s Gibraltar Room. The Colour Party
and Veterans will assemble in the Gibraltar Room at 9:30 a.m. followed by the traditional Remembrance Day service at 10 a.m. By 10:50 a.m., there will be a two-minute wave of silence at the Cenotaph outside of city hall, preceding
laying of wreaths. If the weather cooperates five to seven local pilots will participate in a flyover of the cenotaph at 11 a.m. Aboard Cessnas, Pipers and Citabrias the pilots will fly the Missing Man Forma-
tion. “One of our pilots, Don Stanchfield, will crank up hard and out of the formation,” explained pilot Mike Barbour. After the ceremony the community is invited to attend a potluck at the Royal Ca-
nadian Legion Branch 139 located at 385 Barnard Street. For younger parade participants, there will be refreshments provided in the lower level of the legion, organizers said. In preparation for the event, the city was
busy Wednesday installing a wheelchair ramp into the legion and improving the parking lot. Keeping with tradition, Save-On-Foods will serve beef on a bun from 4:30 to 6 p.m. The legion encour-
ages everyone to attend the ceremonies and is soliciting public donations for its Poppy Drive. For further information or if you are in need of a ride please contact the branch at 250-392-7311 or 250392-4255.
Netherlands. “I was there for three months and then sent to Paris for a trip.” He was never sent to the battlegrounds and said he was happy about that. His brother Allan enlisted and was stationed in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John deciphering foreign code, while his brother Steve went to Europe before hostilities had ceased. While his family emerged safe from the war, many of the people he knew did not. “A young lad I worked with cutting stove wood in Wil-
liams Lake died when the ship he was on sunk travelling overseas.” These days Wilkinson is housebound and will not attend the Remembrance Day services in Williams Lake, however, he was able to attend last year. As if it was yesterday, he can remember when the war was over. “I was at the QM store when we received the news.” As one of the city’s oldest veterans, Wilkinson said he cannot complain. “Veteran Affairs looks after me some,” he nodded.
War takes a young Harris Wilkinson overseas Continued From Page A1 It was March and they were in an area of Vancouver Island that received five to six feet of snow. They were building a road from Port Alberni to the beach off Tofino when they found out the Japanese were planning to invade the Aleutian Islands. Wilkinson was put on the draft for the Aleutians but the Japanese backed off before they left Canada. During Christmas 1944, he was deployed to England. “We were on a train
riding east from Regina and it was Christmas,” Wilkinson said. The troops were loaded in a boat on Jan. 22, 1945 and landed in Scotland. “We docked the ship and came directly to England,” he recalled, saying the skies were consistently darkened with air craft. “You could hear them rumbling for hours on end.” After two months of maneuver training, he was assigned to a quarter master store in Southern England. “I’d get the boys’ shoes repaired, give them new socks and

AN APPLE A DAY... World Pneumonia Day is on November 12. Pneumonia is the #1 killer of children under the age of five worldwide and is responsible for nearly one in five child deaths annually. Over 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world. This is very sad because pneumonia is a treatable illness. The solution is better access to vaccines, improved sanitation, promotion of breast feeding and frequent hand washing as well as use of clean cook stoves to reduce indoor air pollution. Signing up for organ donation is a good thing. Nearly 80% of those on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. It costs about $60,000 yearly to maintain someone on hemodialysis. A kidney transplant costs about $23,000 with about $6,000 per year for medication. So one kidney donation can save approximately $250,000 in healthcare costs over five years. And it dramatically increases someone’s quality of life. Have you registered as an organ donor yet?

Heating Safety
There is something about the winter months and curling up with a good book by the fireplace. But did you know that heating equipment is a leading cause of home fire deaths? With a few simple safety tips and precautions you can prevent most heating fires from happening.
Be warm and safe this winter!
• • •
• • • •
•
Keep anything that can burn at least three-feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater. Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. Never use your oven to heat your home. Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions. Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters. Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. Test smoke alarms monthly.
heating equipment smarts •

Install wood burning stoves following manufacturer’s instructions or have a professional do the installation. All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Install and maintain CO alarms to avoid the risk of CO poisoning. If you smell gas in your gas heater, do not light the appliance. Leave the home immediately and call your local fire department or gas company.

A Great Grey Owl is recuperating at the Williams Lake Veterinary Hospital after being rescued by a Springhouse couple Tuesday. “We were walking our two German Shepherds and saw the owl perched on a branch about 50 cm off the ground,” Eve Winkler told the Weekend Advisor. “Our dogs ran up and barked, but the owl didn’t move.” Half an hour later Eve and her husband Herbert returned on an ATV without the dogs and noticed
the owl had moved about two or three metres. “We realized there was something wrong with it,” Eve said. When they called the vet, the vet told them to call Tammy Zacharias at 2nd Chance Wildlife Centre in Quesnel. Zacharias told them how to capture the owl and encouraged them to call local volunteer Sue Burton who came and picked up the owl to transport it to the vet. “We didn’t know how to catch an owl, but Tammy said get one person to distract it and the other to put a blanket over it,”
Eve said. They put the owl in a dog crate and waited for Burton to arrive. Great Grey Owls are not something the Winklers have seen on their property often during the 24 years they have lived at Springhouse. This owl, however, had been hanging around for a few months. They could hear it at night. “It was interesting though because the owl didn’t move its head around and that made us concerned. Besides, there are so many coyotes around here,” she added.

Rail right-of-way and is only 10 metres in width, which is half of most city roads, There were many incidents when residents were not able to adequately drive to their homes and it became an issue for emergency or municipal services vehicles such as fire trucks or snow plows to travel the road when vehicles were parked there, Mayor Kerry Cook said. “We also put forward improvements to Scout Island,” Cook said, adding the closure is not one piece in isolation, but part of a larger effort to improve lake access. All of council expect Coun. Surinderpal Rathor voted in favour of the closure. Coun. Sue Zacharias was absent from the meeting. Rathor said he was in favour of supporting the closure and protecting the rights of the residents on Dutch Point Road, but that the boat access should not be closed until after a plan is found for better access to the lake. Cook said access is being limited to vehicles only. Outgoing Coun. Geoff Bourdon said the issue has been at the council table for a while. “I agree we need a secondary access and it will be a challenge for the future council.”

Williams Lake
Silver Cross Mother proud of son’s accomplishments Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Bernice Taylor said it’s an honour to be this year’s Silver Cross Mother for the Remembrance Day ceremony in Williams Lake. Taylor’s 27-year-old son Corp. Brad Taylor is a member of the 3 Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, stationed in Edmonton. “He joined in 2009,” Taylor told the Weekend Advisor. His father Dave Taylor was briefly in the army so there is some military background, but both parents say as he was growing up, their son showed no hints that he would sign up. “I guess he’s like his dad,” Dave chuckled. Bernice recalled how it felt when Brad served in Afghanistan between June 18, 2011 to midMarch 2012. Brad phoned home whenever he could, and often his parents could hear planes, helicopters and shooting in the background. “Sometimes the calls would be cut short and he’d suddenly say he had to go,” Bernice said.

His unit was called Force Protection and they were often outside the wire off the base, Dave explained. An event that hit too close to home for Brad was when a suicide bomber blew up a bus that soldiers he knew were travelling on. “It really bothered him,” Dave said.
The next day Brad and other soldiers were instructed not to travel on a scheduled bus ride because of the previous day’s bombing. Hanna Robertson of the Canadian Army touched base with them every month to share information, to see if they’d heard from Brad and ask if they had any concerns. Bernice said after Brad returned from Afghanistan, he had a bit of trouble adjusting.
“He wasn’t as bad as you hear about others, but he was impacted,” Bernice said. In a debriefing meeting with Robertson the families were told that soldiers are trained to have their eyes and ears peeled at all times. She outlined what the families should expect when their soldiers returned and in another meeting soldiers were being debriefed on what to expect from their families.

Brad Taylor serves with the 3 Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Even malls were a hard place to be in during those first few weeks home. “It was hard for him to trust his surroundings,” Bernice said. Brad is fine now and within a few weeks of returning from Afghanistan confidently drove home to Williams Lake for a visit. Describing their son as competitively athletic and an exceptional soccer player growing up,
they said he recently participated in the Mountain Man Race, running, canoeing and portaging 52 km while wearing a 30 pound pack. “He placed 120 out of 400,” Dave smiled. In August the Taylors joined Brad for the 100th anniversary celebration of the 3 PPCLI in Edmonton. It was an honour to be there with their son, they said.

Sacrifice stands test of time When Canadians mark Remembrance Day we tend to reflect back on the courageous service of our fathers and grandfathers on foreign soil so many years ago. The images conveyed through the pages of newspapers and television screens are of grey-haired veterans, medals glistening on the overcoats shielding them from the harsh November winds, wiping away a tear as they mourn the comrades they lost a lifetime ago. The horrors witnessed by these soldiers, and the bravery they showed in the face of that horror, is something all Canadians should take to heart. They sacrificed their innocence, and in many cases their lives, to build a better world for us today. Unfortunately, their selfless acts of courage were not enough to prevent their children and grandchildren from being called upon to sacrifice for their country. That sacrifice was evident to all Canadians and those around the world as the tragedy unfolded last
month at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down as he served as honour guard in front of the monument to Canada’s war dead on Oct. 22. The fatal shooting came only two days after W.O. Patrice Vincent was killed when he and a fellow soldier were struck by a vehicle driven by a suspected terrorist in Quebec. So when we pause to give thanks to those Canadians who sacrificed so much so we could enjoy all we do today, let us also reflect on those sacrifices yet to come. And let us make a promise to ourselves to do whatever we can to prevent them and honour those who will be called upon to make them. It’s the least we can do for those brave men and women who will be standing in a cold, November rain as they think back on the sacrifices being made today.

Raising voice at children sometimes misunderstood Sometimes a parent simply feels alone. And it’s easy enough when overwhelmed to scream at the children. No, not me! According to my ‘good parent’ list there is definitely no screaming at the kids. Even the mother cat in Milo and Otis doesn’t want to scream at her offspring. But it happened, right in front of the dry cleaners. I saw it. And it was awful. The freckle-faced, bespectacled toddler was yelled at by his mother. She screamed his name, just once — violently. And he turned and ran to her in fear. The spectators on the sidewalk shamed her. Some shook their heads; one shook a finger. Some wondered what to do, but they

all disapproved. With downcast eyes they filtered away, muttering about the dreadful parenting they had seen. But there were things they had not seen. They hadn’t seen the boy eyeing the plastic cup twirling in the street. They hadn’t heard
the mother speak softly to him at home. And they hadn’t noticed the van. All they knew was that someone screamed at a child. So they turned away unknowing and unseeing; in fact, they missed the whole story. After the van passed, the mother hugged the still-wiggling boy, who was now pointing at something else. A close-up view saw moisture squeezing along her lashes. She shook as she stood, crunching the little boy’s hand in her own. But no one was looking now. Her observers had passed judgment and moved on to another life. She alone knew the little boy. And she alone had screamed. Because she alone loved him. After a bedtime story, the mother reviewed her day. Her thoughts
wandered through a wilderness of struggles, floods of danger, and mountains of doubt. She wasn’t angry. She hadn’t wanted to frighten her little boy — just save him! What would a good parent have done? She knew she wasn’t the ultimate parent, but whispered, “I am a good one.” She felt empty and misunderstood. Surely there was someone, somewhere, who understood — someone who knew it was done for love? Her mind stumbled toward slumber when a surprise discovery forced her to focus. She saw herself in a shadow, under a crosspiece from the long-ago. It was there she saw another perfect, and perfectly misunder-
stood parent. A parent who loved his foolish toddlers as much as she loved hers. He even loved them enough, when needed, to raise his voice. Knowing she was in good company, she fell fast asleep. Writing complete, I gazed out the window to see the same bespectacled boy, taller and older now, tumble off his bicycle. His bike cleared the ramp for the 27th time then crashed crookedly into the landing pit. He screamed and grabbed his knee. And I know that I love him. And somehow I know that if he needs it, I would be caught raising my voice to him … one more time. LOL@wltribune.com. Rita Corbett is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Protect cow moose in Region 5 before it’s too late Editor: When will it be too late? Or does anyone even care? Some call me ugly, but I am really a beautiful magnificent animal. That is right, I am a cow moose. And it is time for us to speak up for ourselves. Most of the time I am considered slow and fearless. If you read the B.C. Hunting synopsis there’s not even any open hunting for me. And according to the synopsis: “the first priority of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is to ensure the longterm conservation of wildlife populations and their habitat. All B.C. residents are required to comply with these hunting regulations. Now for us cow moose or antler-less, we’ve been closed in Region 5, believe it or not, for “all B.C. residents” for 25 years or more. But we are being poached in big numbers and are disappearing fast. Every spring we are the ones that will faithfully bear beautiful calves for all your future generations for years to come. We moose also have to work
hard to survive every day of the year. Winter months and predators are always taking our numbers down. The hunting season in Region 5 is open approximately three months for many different species. Surely, if you are any kind of a hunter that should be plenty of time to harvest your table fare, excluding us cow moose. Our future depends on each hunter’s behaviour and ethics. Respect us, obey the law, and try to pass on an ethical hunting tradition. Unfortunately, my time is done. On Nov. 2, 2014 at the 2356 km or Moffat Lake Forest Service Road, the life was taken out of me and my unborn calf. I was about an eight-yearold cow moose. I lived on Moffat Creek all my life. Every year I gave birth to one or two beautiful calves. I could have had 12 to 16 calves in my life time and their offspring even more. To the people who shot me, I only hope you feel ashamed. You are the ones taking life from future generations and you will most likely be the ones whining when we are all
gone. Please stop and think about what you are doing. I call out all the people who control our wildlife and wellbeing to please stop the killing of antler-less moose.
It’s been going on too long, we should be protected immediately. In all of Region 5 the population looks pretty bleak. Come to our woods and see for yourself.
Wouldn’t it be nice if your grandchildren could enjoy moose for whatever reason they choose to years to come? Dan Simmons Williams Lake
Hot gases spew from B.C. legislature on global warming The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed — deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertent-

ly proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media informa-
tion about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale
around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s op-
erations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Album a special treat for veteran Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Carol Dron has a lot of fond memories of her father. Before he died she was able to capture some of his Second World War memories in a special way. Carol’s father Arthur (Art) George William Beale served in the Canadian Navy during the Second World War and passed away Dec. 22, 2007 at the age of 90. Carol made a special album for and with her father, after he moved to the Wascana Veteran’s Hospital in Regina near the end of his life. “He really was a sailor and took a lot of pride in being a veteran,” Carol says. “He came home for visits but was always happy to go back to the hospital because he considered it his home. As a vet he had a sense of ownership, so that was nice for him to come out of it never feeling sorry for himself. “ Carol says her father loved sharing the album with his friends at the hospital and his

newspaper clippings, and mementos such as Christmas cards signed by navy friends, post cards from various ports visited, stamps, special dinner menus. A life long resident of Regina, Saskatchewan, Art, worked for General Motors and was a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve just prior to the Second World War. He saw active duty from 1939 to 1945 in the North Atlantic serving on the navy ship Pictou. He took a brief leave in February 1944 to marry his sweetheart, Anna Delores Taylor. Ironically, Carol says her mother and father both grew up in Regina but didn’t meet until his ship stopped in Halifax at the beginning of the war where Anna’s family was living at the time. “My grandmother was a heck of a cook and had four girls who attracted the boys, who would go to their place for meals,” Carol says. After Art’s ship left Halifax for active service overseas, Carol says her father called her mother from New York and told her that as soon as he got home they would be married. See SCRAPBOOK Page A11

Album recalls Second World War service.
“My dad lost two fingers on his left hand in the explosion but fortunately he had just stood up, otherwise he might have died,” Carol says. After the war Art and Delores made their home in Regina where Art worked in mail services for the Saskatchewan government for 32 years before retiring in 1977. He was a keen football player both before and after the war and played with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1946 and 47. Carol says her father lived the last 50 years of his life with the effects of a stroke, which primarily affected his ability to speak, but didn’t affect his ability to enjoy life. “Dad never complained about anything,” Carol says. “He was quite the guy.” While Art was living in the veteran’s hospital, Carol says she and her daughter, Nancy, decided to get tattoos, but were apprehensive about showing them to Art. When they did finally show him their tattoos, she says he wasn’t angry, he was jealous because he had always wanted a tattoo but never got one. She says he told them the story about

There was all sorts of Halloween fun happening in the city last Friday night and some amazing artistic talent shown in face painting and hand-made costume design. One trio was out and about in the city during the afternoon amazing onlookers with their costumes, and they were all homemade.
I’m going into medicine because I feel like a doctor is what I’m supposed to be. Studying in a class of 17 people I’m not just on a first name basis, but really close with everybody enroled in the Rural Pre-Medicine Program. SPENCER PAOLONE, RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM STUDENT, SELKIRK COLLEGE
Having survived Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 15 and then watching his father tragically lose his fight to cancer at a young age, Rossland’s Spencer Paolone has an intimate, heartbreaking and inspiring view of what it takes to be a doctor. He is using his triumph and tragedy to fuel his desire to become the very best doctor he can be.

Behind these cartoon avenging comic book and movie heroes is a heck of a lot of talent. Bronson Ramos was Gypsy Danger from Pacific Rim, and made his costume and that of his friend, Dexter Giesbrecht, who went to the Zombie Walk as Death Stroke. Sierra Williams went as Hawk from the Justice League, and also made her costume. Ramos said he took about a month-and-ahalf to make his costume and about two weeks to make Giesbrecht’s costume. Sierra also spent several weeks making her costume including special ordering feathers to glue onto her large wings that kept her warm on what turned out to be quite a chilly day. Ramos said he made his costume out of jigsaw foam mats, and held the pieces together with elastic banding. His painting of the pieces is truly impressive. Williams is an X-ray technician at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Giesbrecht worked at the Cariboo Fire Centre. Ramos works at Save-On-Foods and is also in training as a tattoo artist.

MAYOR
John Bjornstrom
Walt Cobb
My name is John Bjornstrom and I am running for the position of mayor of Williams Lake. I am running for this because I feel Williams Lake needs a change. My top three issues are as follows: 1.) I see we need additional manufacturing industry that is either related to logging or mining or not related. This will require aggressive research. 2.) Find alternative methods dealing with the insecurity of people walking around town at any hour. This is a communication involvement with police and citizens as to where and what can take place and happen. 3.) Making Williams Lake a place for people from elsewhere, a place to want to come and visit. This is to increase use of Stampede Grounds for other events, possible concerts, winter festivals, fishing derbies. This is not accomplished alone but, are my desires. With the team of councillors we will find a way to make it work. I will be looking outside of the box, especially at new technology to help compliment Williams Lake in moving forward in its disposition in world values both in environment issues and feasible energy consumptions. If Williams Lake is to adventure forward, I am the man to vote for. True I lack experience but, I have a personal drive to see that Williams Lake becomes the best it can be a place where everyone would love to be.
My name is Walt Cobb and I am running for the position of mayor of Williams Lake. I have been lobbied by a large number of local residents and business owners to put my name forward. The suggestions are that the present mayor and council have alienated or excluded the majority of our community and surrounding areas. Issues are as follows: Job creation and the current lack of support for existing industry and business. The need to reduce our debt load. The lack of communication and inclusiveness of our taxpayers. Firstly, I plan to meet with all stakeholders and discuss the opportunities available to them and the possibilities of expanding or diversifying. If that is not an option, then look elsewhere for other investors. The jobs will come with increased investment, expansion or diversification. Along with that is the opportunity for our retail sector to expand and prosper. With all of this comes an increased tax base to lower the debt and reduce the burden to the existing tax payers. Communications will come with open council meetings, an open door policy where anyone any time can meet with me to discuss issues and/or concerns. An open and transparent council that has the opportunity to speak their mind and discuss their issues without the need to be filtered through communications. We need our elected officials to tell us what they think.
Kerry Cook
Surinderpal Rathor
My name is Kerry Cook and I am running for mayor because I love Williams Lake and have lived here for over 40 years. Over the past six years, I have built meaningful partnerships with local and provincial leaders, which I am excited to continue. Despite tough economic times, we have broken the cycle of overspending and brought in $84 million of economic activity in the last six years. I believe my collaborative approach with community leaders will continue to bear fruit in the years to come. Developing a healthy, lively downtown core is a priority. I would increase attraction to downtown by building a gateway arch at the Y intersection, creating way-finding signage, a washroom facility at Spirit Square and developing a trailhead entrance at the end of Oliver Street to increase parking and access to the river valley trail system. I will continue to work with the BIA to address needs and establish joint goals. The city completed $3.6 million of road improvements without long-term borrowing over the last two years. We have established a roads and streets five-year plan to maintain and improve city streets, averaging $1.2 million/year. I envision a new north end entrance into the city, addressing safety, intersection, and side road configuration. I strongly believe in the importance of investing in our local recreation infrastructure, including mountain biking and trails, and fully support improvements to the pool. I intend to build on successful community partnerships to reduce crime. We have achieved a 72 per cent decrease in auto thefts since 2008 and a 53 per cent decrease in break and enters. To build on this success, I will establish a violence task force to reduce domestic and youth violence.
Hello, I am Surinderpal Rathor and after 21 years successfully serving as councillor, I’m ready to apply my energy, experience and proven leadership skills to the position of mayor. Like many communities, we face challenging issues in Williams Lake, but my top three are: Improving economic climate. Without this, we can’t maintain important local social programs, or amenities to attract families to Williams Lake as we work together expanding our economy. Top on my list on this economic side is controlling spending. Unnecessary spending has been a major problem under the present administration. I have a proven record of holding these issues to account. Open government and communication. City hall’s motto should be: “How can we help?” Mayor and council must be available to serve the community. I stand by my record of listening to the people and acting on their concerns. As mayor I will re-instate the citizens’ advisory committee model. I will also seriously review city hall’s practices vis-a-vis public input (e.g. committee of the whole, in-camera, delegations etc.) I also pledge to improve the working relationship with staff as well as other local and provincial levels of government. Revitalizing the heart of Williams Lake. People need to come back to our downtown and our lakeshore. Can we learn from initiatives in other communities? I’m already encouraged by the recent joint initiative with the BIA for the downtown core. As for the lakeshore, we must improve upon and expand the present public access. As always, I welcome all public input.

COUNCILLOR
Ivan Bonnell
Peter Bowman
Marnie Brenner
I am seeking re-election as Williams Lake city councillor because I am concerned for the future of our community and the quality of life it provides to all residents. The Cariboo-Chilcotin Region and the city are being impacted by the global economic slowdown. The city needs to maintain and improve its infrastructure. Roads, sidewalks, parks, storm drainage, water/sewer systems, recreation facilities, solid waste/ recycling, policing, fire protection, by-law enforcement, transportation, airport services and city planning are essential for creating a safe, healthy community that is encouraging for investment. Partnership with all levels of government, non-profit societies and local volunteers provide health/education services, libraries, recreation and community safety. These sectors are essential to the quality of life for all and city council must ensure its continued support. Strong financial management is required to ensure that the cost of local government is within the community’s ability to pay. Council has an array of tools available such as grant in aide, fee for service, taxation, tax exemptions, user fees, grants from other bodies, and the ability to borrow to name a few. A successful Community Forest Partnership with the Williams Lake Indian Band will also provide revenue and economic opportunities to both communities. I have the time and interest to devote to our city, and am looking forward to serving on your behalf. On Nov 15, Vote Ivan Bonnell for councillor. Your first choice on the ballot!
I am Peter Bowman, and I am running for Williams Lake city council. People have asked me “why are you running?” The answer is simple. I want a city that can offer all families an opportunity to enjoy a healthy and productive lifestyle. How is that accomplished? This is accomplished by developing a strong and thriving economy, while embracing the industries that have made this city, such as the forestry, mining, and ranching. I will work with all levels of government as a councillor to encourage new growth and business opportunities to serve as economic drivers. Williams Lake is a service city. Box stores offer services and employment, but a vibrant downtown core is also needed to ensure an equal balance of specialty goods and service as well as everyday products. This is how I envision a balance of economic growth and a healthy downtown core. Health and wellbeing of the city is also a priority, and the new Sam Ketcham Pool design will help two fold. It will give youth, families and seniors a place to keep active and healthy, while creating millions of dollars in economic opportunities for businesses and employment. Please vote yes to the referendum question. Another high priority is working with the RCMP. The RCMP have done an incredible job improving community safety over the last few years. As a councillor, I want to be a part of helping to create an even safer place to live by working directly with the local RCMP. On Nov. 15 vote Bowman for council.
I am Marnie Brenner and I am running for the position of councillor because I want to be part of the process that will improve the way of life for the community of Williams Lake. After listening to many people there have been a lot of different issues shared with me. I believe the top three issues to address in the community are, the downtown core, the health and wellness of people in Williams Lake and the transparency of the processes in city hall. I believe that to tackle these and other issues, it will be important to look at who is around the table after the election and work as a team building on the success of the last council, and on the strengths of each other. The downtown core has incentives for businesses that wish to open. We need to build on these opportunities, and look at linking with a gateway project that could help direct people to our downtown. The health and wellness of our community members contribute directly to the success of our city. This includes affordable housing, policing, GP for Me project, child and youth mental health programs, adult mental health programs, and recreation opportunities. There is already good work happening in these programs. We just need to continue to work together. Another issue is transparency. It can be hard to navigate the system and get answers. I know that the city has a financial program on its website for the public, and is updated regularly. I would be more than happy to help people navigate the system to better understand its processes. I will be committed, invested and approachable.
Scott Nelson
Tovi Pare
Jason Ryll
My name is Scott Nelson and I am running for Williams Lake city councillor. Williams Lake needs a positive, proactive, energized new direction that will encourage investment and help diversify our local economy. Creating a positive investment climate will attract new business, encourage existing businesses to expand and provide new jobs. The forestry, mining, ranching, tourism, retail, arts and culture, biking industry and film industry are pivotal to the continued success of Williams Lake. Our downtown needs a shot of revitalization. We need a massive gateway entrance to the downtown core. Our partnership with the local businesses, seniors, BIA can assist us in stimulating additional living spaces in the downtown core. I support the lodge going back to our seniors for our seniors. We need to encourage the expansion of the downtown by encouraging local shopping, reducing red tape, lowering taxes, lowering fees and speeding up the permit approval process. Crime is dropping and we need to continue the collaborative approach as a community. The RCMP, Block Watch, Citizens on Patrol, the Volunteers Mounted Citizens on Patrol, Crime Stoppers, Community Policing and the Prolific Offender Program have had a dramatic impact on reducing crime. I fully support and endorse this collaborative approach to continue reducing crime in our community. Williams Lake’s university needs support. We need to lobby for significant long-term increase funding in the skills and trades that will be providing the labour market over the next 25 years. The 400 jobs at Mount Polley need to be reassured by the provincial government by working with all levels of government and First Nations to ensure Mount Polley receives its operation permit.
My name is Tovi Pare and I am running for Williams Lake city council. I believe Williams Lake can be the best place to live in B.C. We need promotion executed with passion. I have lived here for 33 years and I see Williams Lake’s future to be bright, lively and unique. I would like to see tourism packages created to include lodging, recreation, and dining services. Hosting events such as world-class mountain bike competitions, motocross, snowmobile and specialty events would keep enthusiasts local as well as draw in tourists. Utilizing the lake to host a triathlon would be new and exciting. These are great opportunities for the city to once again diversify further and capitalize on tourist dollars. Business incentive programs implemented to assist in revitalizing the downtown core and increasing city morale must be an option. These programs could allow business operators to relocate to the heart of the city as an example. There are many unique businesses who deter from opening up shop down town or remaining open due to the fact of high rent and lack of upkeep on buildings. Citizens and families deserve a fun, safe, friendly environment. Our city needs more senior housing that is practical, ideal and desirable. This must be a priority. We need events for families to attend. I personally would love to work with our local existing farmers market in possibly changing to Thursday evenings with the performances in the park. The two together would create atmosphere and allow people to shop, mingle and be entertained at the same time. Instilling pride and moral back into our city will trickle down to the reduction of crime, the revitalization of our downtown core as well as improve the overall economic health and welfare of our citizens.
My name is Jason Ryll and I am running for Williams Lake city councillor. I have deep roots to my hometown and want to see it grow. I have energy, leadership skills and business sense to make a positive impact. What do you see as the top three issues to address in the community? 1.) Economic development. I know we can do a better job at creating a community that people want to invest in. 2.) Post secondary education. We are lucky to have a university in our city. This benefits our students, families and city the longer we can advance our education here. I want people to be able to go to Thompson Rivers University and to live in Williams Lake. 3.) Seniors housing and accessibility. Williams Lake seniors and elders have earned the right to be happy and healthy in their home town. We need to put supports in place to meet the needs of this growing part of our population. How do you propose to tackle them? I have a plan for economic development, and a vision for our city. As city councillor, I will engage community members to decide from within what we need and what we want. We can make what we have better, and use new ideas to grow. I’d like to use my contacts from around Western Canada to attract investment here.

Sue Lachance
Wayne Lucier
Bobbie-Jo Macnair
My name is Sue Lachance. I am running for city council to offer my experience as both a business person and community volunteer to help tackle the many issues currently facing our city. The top three issues, in my opinion, start with vacancy rates in the downtown. We need an aggressive approach to economic development and revitalization. Corridor signage is needed to encourage higher traffic flow and spending. Support programs need to be implemented including, Good Host, Secret Shoppers and Roger Brooks. Our city leaders must also take a more active role in promoting and supporting the downtown and recognize that the BIA cannot do it alone. Secondly, our tax rates are one of the highest in the province causing hardship for seniors and lower income residents who have lost their jobs. With the looming reduction in the allowable cut in our forest industry, we may be facing reduced tax revenues from the industrial sector. We need to prepare for this possibility and to do so, we need to look at current spending including, large scale costly projects, administrative costs such as staffing levels, travel and legal fees and hopefully develop a tax payer’s review panel so citizens can play a more active role in reviewing how their taxes are being spent. We also need to balance the costs of needed infrastructure repairs which have fallen behind over the past decades and much needed social programs such as affordable housing. Finally, we need to re-introduce the open-door policies at city hall which were so important in the past. Many of our citizens have indicated they currently feel ignored and disenfranchised under the current system.
I am Wayne Lucier and I am running for Williams Lake city council. As a outreach worker I run into blocks every day, and I am hopeful as a councillor it will increase my network group to help more of my clients. I have lived in this city since 1973, raised two boys and would like to see our city expand. I see the top three issues facing our city to be safe affordable housing, crime, and employment. I would tackle them by looking at how others have addressed this issue, exploring the housing first model used in other places. Find ways to use our empty buildings. Work with our current landlords and tenants for win-win solutions. Continued support for the prolific offenders program and try to involve more citizens and landlords to participate. Expand, if possible, on our citizens on patrols programs, neighbourhood watch programs. It is all our problem and we all need to help. We have to have more activities that do not cost a lot of money and utilize what we have. We have access to some of the best biking and hiking trails anywhere, we have one of the best cross country ski trails anywhere. We just have learn to work with others to make them more accessible. If we could deter crime by accessing these activities it would bring down the cost crime is costing us. We need to work with industry so that they can offer more training instead of looking at bringing in foreign workers who are supposedly skilled. We need to work with our university to bring the cost of some courses down so that everyone could take training that will benefit our community, and keep people here instead of leaving to find work.
My name is Bobbie-Jo Macnair and I am running for the position of city councillor in Williams Lake. I am running in this election in the hopes of being part of a diverse, proactive council. I want to give our younger citizens a voice at the table. I offer independent, responsible leadership that will look out for the best interests of our community from the youth to the growing senior population. The three top issues facing our community are gaining and retaining young families; reducing crime and increasing safety within the city; and diversyfying and expanding our economy. In order to retain and gain new young families we must support good paying, family supporting jobs. We need to work to provide appealing facilities. We need to push to keep TRU fully operational so our students do not have to leave following graduation. I will work to engage youth and provide what they are looking for. If we really want to reduce crime we should not put all our effort into targeting crime itself. Instead we should focus our attention to the underlying causes including unemployment, poverty, poor community cohesion, addictions, and lack of things to do. Community building events such as performances in the park need to be expanded and diversified as their power to bring people together in a positive way is second to none. Williams Lake needs to look to different ways to keep our community strong. It’s time to expand our horizons beyond forestry and mining. We are a city rich in cultural heritage and surrounded by natural beauty. Let’s promote our outdoor activities and turn Williams Lake into the summer city that it can be. If we showcase our assets, investment will follow.
Craig Smith
Laurie Walters
Sue Zacharias
My name is Craig Smith and I am running for Williams Lake city council. I am running because I want to make the city I love a better place. My top three reasons for running are: 1.) Making Williams Lake more business-friendly by creating systems that make it easier to start a business, reduce or eliminate red tape, and create an atmosphere centered on customer service. 2.) I would like to see more fiscal responsibility in the way of eliminating wasteful spending and creating a short-term goal of eliminating or reducing the city’s debt. I believe that city hall is a business and needs to attain fiscal responsibility like one, in terms of budgeting first and then spending. 3.) Making Williams Lake more attractive to tourists by creating reasons to come to Williams Lake. We need to promote tourism, outdoor living, arts and culture, and a “way of live.” We have so much to offer we just have to do a better job of promoting it. If elected I will give 125 per cent effort in attaining these goals. I believe I can take a balanced approach to city council in that it needs to be more than just about business and economic growth. I will commit to being open minded and making decisions based on what is in the best interest of the whole city. I will be committed to not only streamlining development and focusing on business, but also taking a holistic approach to working together as a community in all areas. Thank you.
My name is Laurie Walters and I am running for Williams Lake city council. I believe it is important for the city to move forward to have experience around the council table. Over the last six years I have demonstrated a desire to serve others, an understanding of the issues, an appreciation of people and community, a readiness to compromise and reach solutions, a willingness to learn and an understanding of the decision-making process. I see the top three issues as follows: 1.) Aging infrastructure: Williams Lake is no different than many communities across the country where our infrastructure is aging. If re-elected I will be very persistent in the development of a 25-year infrastructure plan so that our city will never borrow for maintenance or upkeep. 2.) Diversifying our economy: Moving forward we need to be prepared and explore other ways to diversify our economy. One way that we can do this is to identify tourism as an industry that will play a significant role in diversification. We have opportunities to grow tourism in our city as a major service centre, and further enhance Williams Lake’s downtown as the heart of our community. 3.) Shortage of skilled workers: In order for our community to address the shortage of skilled workers and replace the aging workforce to close the skills gaps, we will need to continue to work with industry, First Nations leaders and community partners for sustainable funding so that our community can offer essential skills upgrading, occupational training and certified trades training and apprenticeships. Aggressive lobbying to our provincial government to secure grants and continued investment from our industry are some ways we can accomplish this.
My name is Sue Zacharias and I am running for Williams Lake city council. Councillor is a job that requires time, commitment, leadership experience, business experience, integrity, enthusiasm, co-operation and collaboration. Issues are as follows: 1.) Development of our resource industry, diversification of our forest industry and agricultural diversification/growth. How: These economic targets can be achieved by lobbying; industrial tax incentives; lowering of industrial tax rate (fiveyear plan has begun); and partnering/collaborating with business, First Nations and all levels of government. 2.) Continued support and development of TRU Williams Lake trades programs; modern recreation infrastructure; continual upgrading of soccer, ball parks/ fields; mountain biking; increasing our business, residential and industrial tax assessment base and road rehabilitation/reconstruction. How: Work together with the CRD, TRU, SD 27, First Nations bands, volunteer groups and city to collaborate on funding and programs. Broaden our tax base by looking at expanding the Williams Lake municipal boundary. 3.) Downtown core densification; creation of an RV park/trailhead at the Station House Gallery; increase safety in Boitanio Park; continue to fight against crime/ violence; aggressive marketing, tax and economic incentives for retailers/businesses to locate in our community. How: The city, Chamber of Commerce, Cariboo Chilcotin Tourism Association and BIA need to team up, then begin extensive consultation/meetings, working together for positive change and financial prosperity in the downtown area.

Betty Anderson My name is Betty Anderson and I am running for the position of CRD director for Area K (East Chilcotin). It is a vast diverse beautiful area running along the west side of the Fraser over as far west to Chezacut, north almost to Alexandria and south to Churn Creek and Big Creek areas. There are three First Nation Bands of the Chilcotin people within the area. There are many large ranches and acreages, Alexis Creek townsite and Riske Creek are in the area. I am running for this position because I am strongly motivated to do so. I’m willing to serve responsibly by using my training, assets, passion and experience to benefit the area and residents of East Chilcotin. I have worked in real estate until recently and have a Bachelor in Social Work with experience in working and living in the Chilcotin communities. I am also a property owner of a small ranch in the NE of East Chilcotin (Area K). Previously my husband and I lived further out west and are very familiar with the Chilcotin. I have a heart for the people and love the area. The major issues that I see in the East Chilcotin are: 1.) Lack of jobs; 2.) Tourism business and other businesses declining; 3.) Needed respectful working relationships with First Nations communities in developing a sustainable economy and good sense of community together. In the position as director I would be a voice in building bridges, advocating for persons and groups in helping to facilitate healthy growth and strong communities. As director I would continue to educate and prepare myself to benefit the needs and concerns of the area. I would be active in understanding concerns and would work toward solutions.

Geraldine Charleyboy My name is Geraldine Charleyboy and I am running for Cariboo Regional District Director of Area K. I decided to run to give a voice to the Tsilhqot’in and other First Nations. Area K includes three of the six Tsilhqot’in communities: Tl’etinqox, Yunesit’in and Tlesqox. More importantly to educate others about our values and beliefs and our duty to protect our people’s lands. We all live and work side by side regardless of the colour of our skin. My belief is that once we all come together with common interests success is inevitable. We are able to create opportunities for the benefit of all. I grew up in the Chilcotin and am originally from Tsi Del Del and have lived in Alexis Creek for the past seven years. My children attend the provincial school there and I work part-time as a Unit Chief/Paramedic for BC Ambulance Service Station 353. Working as a paramedic in such a large area I have realized the lack of accessibility of communities, in some cases. Road names, house numbering and the lack of communication throughout a majority of the area. These issues can hinder the time responding to calls as well as the safety of paramedics. I look forward to taking issues of Area K members to the table and do the best I can to have those issues remedied.
Melynda Neufeld Hello. My name is Melynda Neufeld and I have lived in the Williams Lake rural area for over 40 years. I am running for the position of Cariboo Regional District director of Area K. I am running for this position because I want to be more involved with the CRD. For the past four years I have been on the advisory planning commission for Area E in the CRD and found it to be very interesting. I have also been an alternate for the director in Area E, so I have been involved in a few of the meetings at the board office. Some of the issues that I would like to work on resolving and dealing with are vandalism and theft, as well as the speed limits along the much used Highway 20. I propose community awareness and involvement to help me tackle these issues. Living in the rural area myself I see first hand the challenges that we are faced with every day. We are not city folk and should not be treated as such. We love and deserve to be safe and free in our backyards.
Pennie Daffurn
Steve Forseth
Blaine Wiggins
I am Pennie Daffurn and I am running for director of Area D for Cariboo Regional District. I have grown to love this area of our province and feel it is time to give back to my community. What do you see as the top three issues to address in this community? In talking with some of the people living in Area D I found a number of areas of concern. Here are three which seem to come up repeatedly. A.) Fire protection for McLeese Lake. Those of us living closer to the city and Wildwood know what a relief it is to have this in place should an emergency arise. I would like to see this in place for McLeese Lake. B.) Recreation. Not only do we have the pool referendum coming up but we have outdoor recreation sites such as Bull Mountain and Fox Mountain. How do we maintain these without encroaching on personal property? C.) Low voter turn out at town hall meetings. How do you propose to tackle them? I don’t propose I can solve the above issues or any other all by myself. However, I know that once you get a group of people together it’s amazing how creative they can be. I hope to be the catalyst that brings people together and inspires them to be creative in working together to solve common issues.
My name is Steve Forseth and I am running for Cariboo Regional District Area D representative. Having served as the alternate director for Area D from February of 2013 until October of 2014 plus being chair of the Electoral Area D advisory planning commission for the last five years I am aware of various initiatives that the current Area D director has been working on and I’d like to continue on with some of them. These include McLeese Lake Fire Department, McLeese Lake Library, training site at Wildwood Fire Department, renovated Cariboo Memorial Hospital, and possible transit service between Soda Creek to Williams Lake. In addition, I liked the role of Area D alternate director this past term and I’d like to continue as the full Area D director, delivering results for the people. I have both the time and experience to be an effective representative. Issues include: Cariboo Memorial Hospital: lobby with CC Regional Hospital District board of directors to local MLA’s and BC Health Minister to stress the importance of this project to this region. McLeese Lake Library: work with community to select a site and secure funds for modernized McLeese Lake Library. Bus service: work with City of Williams Lake/Soda Creek Indian Band to secure bus service through Wildwood. McLeese Lake Fire Department: work with McLeese Lake VFD Society to get to their objective of a full service VFD for McLeese Lake by way of securing grants or fire equipment at minimum cost to the society.
My name is Blaine Wiggins and I am seeking the position of Cariboo Regional District director for Area D. I am running for this position because residents of Area D expressed a need to have a voice that represents their interests and continue to convey input on issues that impact how tax-funded services are delivered. The top three issues include long-term planning, access to relevant CRD services and the impact of industry and infrastructure projects on the CRD. To best serve residents it is critical to develop long-term plans for management and delivery of CRD programs and services. CRD services need to be relevant and accessible such as waste management, emergency services, building inspections, etc. The programs should not be delivered in a manner that is restrictive and prohibits residents from fully utilizing them. Recent changes to the Wildwood waste management site has restricted access for those who work during the opening hours. Impact of infrastructure and industry projects on the CRD. This ranges from the twinning of the Highway 97, new business ventures and existing industry. The CRD needs to support new projects but should fully understand and inform residents of the impact of these projects. I propose to tackle these issues by engaging in CRD processes and ensuring that the voices of Area D residents are brought to the table. In its most basic form the regional district collects taxes and provides services. Services are based on current programs, changes to legislation and expectation of taxpayers. Supporting a process where informed decisions are made is imperative.

Byron Kemp
Deb Bischoff
Sheila Boehm
My name is Byron Kemp and I am running to be re-elected as Cariboo Regional District director for Area E. I am running for this position as I have been a resident of this area for 40 years and know the area and its problems. Three issues that I see as important are the Mountview sewer and water problem; a new road off of Highway 20 into the Esler Sports Complex; and the downloading of issues by the provincial government without any additional funding. I hope to address the issue of funding for the projects and to work toward having the government recognize that rural area people receive as much recognition and consideration as those in cities and municipalities. Seeing as a major part of the government funding comes from resources in rural areas, we need more recognition and the government needs to realize that “one shoe does not fit all.”
My name is Deb Bischoff and I am running for Zone 5 School District 27 trustee. The zone is located within the Cariboo Regional District’s electoral Areas D and E and parts of South Lakeside Drive, Sunset Drive and Waters Drive. In addition to having grandchildren attending Cariboo schools (elementary/high school), I served as NorKam Parent Advisory committee chair, District Parent Advisory Committee, and worked with a team in order to implement school food programs. I am an experienced two-term (six year) Area D Cariboo Regional District director experienced working with a board of 16. Comfortable working within the confines of a $50 million budget and, within provincial guidelines, yet confident the unique culture of the Cariboo Chilcotin is successfully integrated into School District 27. Issues are: 1.) Build stronger relationships between parents, local governments, business community and provincial Ministry of Education; 2.) Strengthen community, business, parental confidence in school board; 3.) Ensure graduating students are fully prepared to enter local workforce and/or continue on to post graduate studies. Make school buildings available to the business community, adult population, first nations and community organizations for post graduate courses, professional training, and meetings during summer months. Partner with business community, adult population, First Nations, community organizations to ensure graduates have acquired the necessary skills to become gainfully employed. Consult with post graduate institutions ensuring graduates are ready to pursue post graduate studies.
My name is Sheila Boehm and I am running for school trustee for School District 27 in the fringe of Williams Lake or Zone 5. I am a mother of three children all attending schools in the school district and I have a strong belief in putting my money where my mouth is and getting involved so I feel I am running for my kids and all kids attending in our district. Having served the past three years already the three top issues I see are different than what we have already tackled. I really want to work on communication within the district and staff but also parents and the kids, I want to see a student trustee policy enacted during the next year or so. I would also like to continue reviewing where the budget is spent and doing analysis on where our direction lies. I would also like to focus on improving our percentage of students graduating and making sure we are starting from kindergarten and supporting them all the way. Tackling these issues means looking into what is presently going on and asking staff, parents and students what is working and what is not. This is a way to hopefully provide some ways to improve communication and involvement.
Phyllis Webstad
Christine Dyment
Bev Goldstone
My name is Phyllis Webstad and I am running for the position of Cariboo Regional District Area E director. I am running for this position because I am confident that I can apply my experience, strength and hope to the issues and find solutions. Also, I’ve been a member of the CRD’s heritage steering committee for five years and have learned a lot about the CRD and its purpose. I am committed to learning about the issues and interactively coming up with solutions. Although I do not reside in Area E, it is where I’m from. It is my ancestral home and it is where my heart is. The top three issues to address and how I propose to tackle them. 1.) Water and sewer, Dog Creek Road area: I will visit this issue with a fresh set of eyes and explore funds available from sources such as Infrastructure Canada, through the Major Infrastructure Component of the Building Canada Fund. According to the website: “Under the MIC, at least twothirds of funding supports projects that address national priorities and improve the lives of Canadians. These include projects related to: drinking water; wastewater; public transit; the core National Highway System; and green energy.” 2.) Communication with constituents in Area E: I will have open-house meetings at various locations within Area E. I pledge to report out regularly to residents. 3.) Reconciliation: Reconciliation Canada is building new relationships between Aboriginal people and all Canadians. Reconciliation begins with me, it will not be achieved in my life time, however, we must move forward together. I will participate in public awareness and insist on interactive community outreach to promote community-based reconciliation initiatives.
My name is Christine Dyment and I am running for the position of school trustee for Zone 4 (150 Mile House, Horsefly, Likely and Big Lake). I am running for this position because I have always had a vested interest in rural schools and education as a whole. I have been involved with three different parent advisory councils over the past 17 years (elementary, distance education and high school), the District Parent Advisory Council for about 10 years, and have even been involved at the provincial level. The top issue in my zone is decreasing enrollment and the future of these rural schools. I would love the opportunity to listen to the parents in these communities, to see what ideas they have for the future of their community schools, and be able to work with them to find solutions and strategies. Many small communities in the province are facing these same challenges. Seeing what other small communities have faced, what has happened to their schools and helping our local district work toward keeping our rural schools open and thriving is what matters to me. I am looking forward to working with the new school board trustees for the benefit of the whole district.
My name is Bev Goldstone and I am running to represent Zone 4 on the School District 27 board of trustees (150 Mile House, Horsefly, Likely, and Big Lake). I have always been interested in the education system and with particular interest in the outcomes of special needs students. What do you see as the top three issues to address in the community? Bullying; graduation rates; and support for special needs children. How do you propose to tackle them? I feel that we need to start the dialogue on bullying in kindergarten. We need to educate children, parents and staff. With the increase in the use of social media, bullying is never ending. On graduation rates we need to ask the question “What can we as trustees do to help?” Supporting our special needs children, to me, is one of the most important aspects of the classroom. Frustrated students can affect the entire classroom atmosphere. It can take valuable teaching time away from the class. I believe that as a board our job is to be an advocate for the students, parents and staff. Our jobs are to listen to the people in the classrooms and find out how best to help them.

Alexis Forseille in contention for Miss Rodeo Canada tonight.
Tonight is the big night in Edmonton for the lakecity’s Alexis Forseille, who is in the running with four other contestants for the title of Miss Rodeo Canada. “I am looking forward to every portion of the contest with my favourites being the personal interview, speech and fashion show,” Alexis said just before she left for Edmonton. The event included a horsemanship competition at the Northalands-Rexall Place
on Monday; a written exam and personal interview on Tuesday; a speech competition on Wednesday; and public appearances on Thursday. Today, Friday, Nov. 7 Alexis is participating in the Ladies of Canadian Professional Rodeo Fashion Show and Lunch followed by the crowning of the 2015 Miss Rodeo Canada at the Canadian Finals Rodeo this evening. Voting also wraps up today for the Miss
Rodeo Canada 2015 People’s Choice Award. Vote for Alexis by ‘liking’ her photo on Facebook by searching for Miss Rodeo Canada 2015 Peoples Choice Award. Voting will be closed at 3 p.m. sharp. Alexis, 20, was the 2012-2013 Williams Lake Stampede Queen.

Jointly organized by the Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) and the TRU Faculty of Law, the purpose of
the panel is to provide information to Cariboo-Chilcotin residents regarding the history and implications of the Tsilhqot’in Land Title Decision and will be held on Monday, Nov. 10, 2014. In addition to a number of Tsilhqot’in chiefs, including Chief Roger William, ViceChair of the Tsilhqot’in

The speakers will provide an overview of the case and its meaning for Indigenous people and all Canadians. “The nature of this historic decision requires public dialogue to understand the resulting possible chang-
es,” said Alan Shaver, TRU President and Vice-Chancellor. “TRU is not only providing a venue for this important discussion but also has gathered experts from across the country for a discourse which will be significant for all Canadians.” “Bringing leading scholars and academics together to discuss
the Tsilhqot’in Title case is one way to keep the public engaged, but also functions to provide clarity and ensure that a broader dialogue is on-going with respect to how reconciliation and justice is implemented within the context of Crown and First Nations relations,” said Chief Russell MyersRoss of Yunesit’in.
The event will run from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 10 and will be held in the Gymnasium at the TRU — Williams Lake Campus. This is a free event, open to the public. For more about the Tsilhqot’in decision: http://www.tsilhqotin. ca/Lands/RightsTitle. htm.

Digging deeper into God’s love Immanuel, God with us. Yes, Christmas is close, so a few thoughts to start the process. The idea of Immanuel comes from an ancient Biblical prophecy, “Look the virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel which means God is with us.” Fulfilment was applied to Jesus when the angel said to Joseph, “Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.” The creator of the universe becomes a human being. Shocking but true. Jesus as fully God and fully man is a concept fundamental to Christianity. What basic human problem did God solve by becoming one of us? What major God problem did Jesus solve by becoming human? On the human side the most critical problem is how do we get out of this world alive? Dying is our greatest challenge. Scripture is clear, death is the result of sin and selfishness with only our original creator able to find a solution. Thus God had to become one of us so he could die in our place and give us a second chance. God’s problem was and is that after sin all mankind feared Him. Immediately after sin, Adam and Eve tried to hide from God because they now had an unnatural fear of the only one who cares about
PARSONS PEN
BY CAMERON JOHNSTON them and can help. This fear of our creator makes it very difficult for God to implement the plan to rescue us because our natural trust of God had been destroyed. What could solve both problems? In short, the life and death of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life as a man on earth reveals the amazing love of God that when properly understood destroys this deadly fear. Only perfect love can cast out fear. The best description of divine love is described in scripture. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always
hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. The only source of this caring love is the heart of God. God is love and the only source of true unselfishness. Let no person or circumstance ever convince you otherwise. Our redemption required the death of a substitute equal with God but for God to die he needed a human body. Also God needed to live among us and reveal his true character without us being afraid of him. God needed a human body to disguise his divinity and power so we could relax and enjoy his presence. Thus the Christmas story, God comes to earth as a baby and grows up as one of us. The truth is, we only live eternally through the death of Jesus. Making us a new unselfish person comes only as we trust God and give him control of our life. Dying for us on the cross was totally the work of Jesus on our behalf. Transforming us is also totally his work but more complicated because it requires our cooperation. Consider praying with me daily. God help me understand your amazing gracious love for me even when I am at my worst. Give me a heart for truth and replace my fear with trust so I can appreciate you more fully and accept your amazing Christmas gift of Jesus as my friend and saviour.

ley. His actual birthday was on Oct. 14, but he never liked to celebrate on that day. Why? I received several answers
to that question, all equally plausible. Maybe it really did have something to do with Napoleon whose birthday was on Aug. 15. It was a lovely backyard celebration, the sun was bright and hot, his favourite “Plonk,” as his family called his red wine, was flowing freely, and St. Pierre was holding court and telling tall stories, mostly from the Cariboo. He was just so good at that! One of the very, very best. He would sit there, look into the past, suddenly get this little twinkle in his startling blue eyes, a wicked little grin appeared, and off he went. He could do that for hours. I loved every minute of it and felt so honoured to be there. If you have not read his books, please do so. Start with Breaking Smith’s Quarter Horse, his best known one, and go from there. You will find them all at the public library. Many of you will remember the TV series he created, Cariboo Country. St. Pierre was

Paul St. Pierre at his 90th “unbirthday” had a passion for the Chilcotin. The journalist, screenwriter and novelist who wrote many stories about this region and was a regular visitor served as the Liberal MP for Coast Chilctotin from 1968 to 1972.

Paul St. Pierre’s grandchildren Mireille and Mark helped with the celebration. the one who insisted on actually using First Nation actors in his films and it was he who discovered Chief Dan George. And did I mention he was a passionate politician? Now his voice is silenced. St. Pierre passed on July 27, 2014, not quite a year later, peacefully and surrounded by his family. He died at home, as he detested being held “captive” in a hospital. The funeral was a private family affair. When I first was informed about it I was sad for days. I know there always will be a little hollow spot inside me as there is just no other one like him. When I went to the celebration given for him on Nov. 2, I still had a heavy heart. But then it all turned around and I suddenly enjoyed
Paul St. Pierre Jr. at the tribute day. myself immensely. St. Pierre had very close ties to Mexico, had a house there, even adopted a little girl to be able to give her a good education in Canada. That little girl is now all grown up and a beautiful young woman and mother. Her name is Yesica and she looked after the refreshments. See MARIACHI Page A29

Continued From Page A28 St. Pierre always liked a good party, so one was organized for him. The women wore beautiful traditional dresses and flowers in their hair. They made huge amounts of delicious Mexican food and drinks, and once again the “Plonk” flowed freely. There were about 150 people, talking, laughing, having a great time in the community hall of Fort Langley. Even his oldest friend managed to be there. Ron Rose started as a journalist for the Vancouver Sun in 1938 and met St. Pierre in 1946. They were friends for all these years. Rose is turning 95 on Nov. 8. Happy Birthday, Ron! I was happy to bring greetings from the Cariboo, including Williams Lake and TRU. After all the speeches had been heard and much laughter had been shared, three Mariachi

After a couple of songs we gathered the flowers from the tables, many took burning candles and we followed the Mariachi players outside into the rain. It was dark by then and we slowly wound our way toward the graveyard, the music playing all the way. We gathered around the grave marker, placed our flowers on it and then each one of us received a small shot glass of Tequila.

The mariachi band leads the way to Paul St. Pierre’s gravesite. It was a magic moment— standing there in the slow rain, the dark lit up by so many candles, the band playing spirited melodies, and then we all together gave a loud cheer to Paul St. Pierre, now a
true legend. And yes, his grave
marker really does say: “This was not my idea.”

The annual Diamond Dinner and auction raised more than $21,000 to be shared equally by the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre and the Women’s Contact Society. “We had a soldout event,” says Irene Willsie, Women’s Contact Society executive director in reporting the total. The event was held at the Signal Point Event Centre on Saturday, Oct. 25. Signal Point donated the dinner for this 10th anniversary. Some auction items included a trip to Mexico, a three-day fishing trip, a visit to Harrison Hot Springs. For the past 10 years event organizers have purchased a Canadian-cut diamond from Woodland Jewellers to raffle at the event which comes with a setting of the winner’s choice donated by Woodlands and designed by jeweller Geoff Bourdon. Mae Getz was this
year’s winner of the diamond ring that was presented by Cindy Woodland. The Women’s Contact Society will use its share of funds to support the Good Food Box program, and the Child Development Centre will use the funds for the new Cariboo Autism Center opening in 2015, Willsie says. The next Good Food Box distribution days are Nov. 17 and Dec. 15. For information contact Carmen Kallman at 250-392-4118. Registration for the program can also be made at the Canadian Mental Health Association and Pregnancy Outreach. The Women’s Contact Society will hold its annual general meeting on Monday, Nov. 17 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Signal Point Event Centre.

Colgate becomes star of the show
The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association is hosting its first turkey shoot of the season. The event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, Nov. 16 at the gun range on Bond Lake Road. The shoot starts at 10 a.m. and will finish in the afternoon. Top shooters will walk away with meat prizes in each individual event. All ages and shooting abilities are welcome. The fee to enter is $6 per event. Shooters are encouraged to bring hearing and eye protection as well as shotguns of their choice. Ammunition may be available on site. Lunch will be available for a nominal fee. There will be regular trap shoots, Annie Oakleys, buddy shoot, bushwhackers and other novelty events.
Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It was supposed to be all about the professionals, but a five-yearold Williams Lake motocross rider quickly stole the spotlight in Armstrong at the Future West Arenacross opening weekend. Clad in his riding gear and seated commandingly atop his Yamaha PW50, Mason Colgate was invited to ride during the series’ opening ceremony on Oct. 24 during the pro rider introduction, and to ride alongside the likes of Nova Scotia’s Ryan Lockhart — a veteran of the sport and one of the top riders in the country. “He was the youngest rider there and he went completely viral,” said Mason’s mom, Susan Colgate. “He’s all over the Inter-
net.” After spectators at the event quickly fell in love with the young motocross rider, photos began to pop up on multiple motocross racing websites from around the country. “He absolutely loved it,” Susan said. “All he wanted to do was ride his bike. I couldn’t believe how much riding he did. He was tired, but he didn’t care.” It was also Mason’s first competitive weekend of racing. He competed in the 50cc and open 50cc classes during the event. “He even did an extra lap on one of his races and the crowd stood up and cheered him on,” she said. “He was the crowd favourite, by far.” Mason will be racing again this weekend in Cloverdale during
rounds three and four of the Future West Arenacross Series, and Lockhart has once again agreed to take the young rider under his wing. During rounds one and two in Armstrong four other Williams Lake motocross riders also competed including pro rider Brock Hoyer, plus Thomas Kaiser, Marcus Deausy and Carson King. After two rounds Hoyer sits in fourth place in the Pro Open Division and seventh in the Pro AM Lites. Kaiser is fifth in the 65cc division and 14th in the 85cc sevento 11-year-old class. Deausy, also in the 85 cc seven to 11 division, is second and fifth in the Supermini class. King, meanwhile, is fourth in the Open Junior B Division.

Crowns spread positivity through basketball Greg Sabatino Staff Writer All while spreading a positive message to the audience, Oakland, CA.’s Harlem Crowns dazzled roughly 300 lakecity basketball fans last Saturday. Lightspeed passing, trick balling, props, dunks, audience participation and practical jokes were much to the crowd’s delight as the Crowns downed five players from the Williams Lake Basketball League 102-65 in a light-hearted game, which was also a fundraiser for the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society — an organization devoted to promoting health and personal wellness through its programs for First Nations youth. Even Ron Bisaro, who was refereeing his fourth Harlem Crowns game in Williams Lake, was the butt of several pranks played by the Crowns throughout the game. Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society executive director Sarah

Harlem Crowns basketball player Herbie Scaife Jr. has some fun with Williams Lake player Sean Glanville and referee Ron Bisaro during an inbound at the Harlem Crowns game last Saturday at the Lake City Secondary Columneetza Campus gym. The game was a fundraiser for the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society. Jackman said close to $900 was raised at the game, which was generously donated at the door by fans who were in attendance. “It was great,” Jackman said.
“The fans were super generous. I couldn’t believe it because you always hear about how bad our economy is.” At half time all five players from the Crowns spoke to the
crowd relaying a positive message mostly directed at the youth in attendance. All the players grew up in rough neighbourhoods in Oakland, and several mentioned how
sports and basketball saved them from a life on the streets. “Their primary message was reminding people to stay active and involved in physical activity,” said Williams Lake player Sean Glanville. “They discussed how the benefits of sports reach well beyond just fitness and health, and how sports help fight anxiety and depression, teaches self esteem and about commitments to goals, social skills and gives the opportunity to travel and to meet new people.” Glanville added it was a treat for the lakecity quintet to suit up against the Crowns, who are currently on a B.C.-wide tour. “It was nice to play in front of a full crowd and I think everyone left happy,” he said. “The Crowns always provide comedy as well as basketball talent.”
Correction In the November 5th issue of The Williams Lake Tribune it was stated that the flyers for SportChek were inserted into the November 5th paper. This was an error and The Williams Lake Tribune apologizes for any inconvenience.

T-Wolves skate to second The Williams Lake Midget Men’s Timberwolves were in Quesnel for an eight-team tournament last weekend and skated away with a silver medal, losing in a shootout to Prince George after the game finished in a 4-4 tie. These were the first games of the year for the team since final cuts were made and
the four-week layoff was evident in the first game of the tournament when they dropped a 4-1 decision to Terrace. In the second game the team started to gel and showed flashes of great play winning 4-2 over Chetwynd. In the third game the team played a much tougher Prince Rupert team and pulled out a 5-2 victory to finish

the round robin with two wins and one loss, good for second in their pool. In the cross over semi-final game the Timberwolves played the first-place team from the A pool, Quesnel, and skated away with a 5-2 win in a very solid effort. Williams Lake scored early and the game was never in
doubt. The T-wolves then met Prince George in the final. Williams Lake fell behind early and despite great play trailed 4-2 with two minutes left. Williams Lake scored at the two minute mark and then again with 30 seconds left to tie the game and send it into overtime. After five minutes
of four-on-four overtime the game went to the dreaded shootout where Prince George prevailed scoring once in three attempts while Williams Lake was unable to score. Next up for the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves are league games this Friday and Saturday against Quesnel, in Quesnel.

PLAN NUMBER 2-3-713 BASEMENT ENTRY FAMILY HOME Craftsman-style detailing and decorative stone trim add instant appeal to the exterior of this two-level, threebedroom family home. Inside, a practical floor plan makes this a good choice for a young, growing family. From the sheltered porch entry, a single front door opens to the ground floor, with a well-lit foyer with a den, or home office, to the right.

ricanes from Nov. 1-2 In its first game the Cougars, who are based out of Prince George, outpaced the Hurricanes
in a 4-1 outing where the Cougars came out strong with a power play goal by Hunter Mosher and another marker

ed late in the period when Marissa Nichol added a marker. Assists on Cougar goals were Sage Desjardins and Ava Keis with two each, and Taylor Beck, Beadman-Rolph and 100 Mile House’s Cassidy Mellott with an assist each. Emilie Nichols played a solid game in goal. The Cougars outshot the Hurricanes 48-14. In game two the Cougars shutout the Hurricans, 5-0. The Cougars again dominated play, outshooting the Hurricanes 41-14. Kelsey Roberts made key saves to earn the shutout. Desjardins led the Cougars with 2 goals and an assist. Other scorers were Beck, Forrest and Nichol. Keis tallied 3 assists, and Nichol, Grace Barlow, Mosher and Beadman-Rolph also had assists. Game three saw the Cougars skate to a 5-1 victory. The Hurricanes came out fast in the first period determined to get a win out of the weekend series. The Cougars got into early penalty trouble in the period resulting in a five-on-three power play for the Hurricanes, however, due to a strong goaltending performance from Roberts, the Cougars held off the Hurricanes’ attack and responded with two goals in the period by Keis and Forrest. The Cougars played solid the rest of the game, getting goals from Keis and two from Desjardins. Nichol had a career high four assists, and Beadman-Rolph, Sydney Jordan, Mellott and Desjardins had one assist each. Roberts had her shutout bid spoiled by the Hurricanes midway through the third period. The Cougars outshot the Hurricanes 32-16. Coach Mario Desjardins was pleased with the team’s effort. “We had a solid weekend taking all six points from the Hurricanes to widen the gap between first and second place with the Avalanche,” he said. Next up for the Northern Cougars are three home games versus the Thompson-Okanagan Lakers from Nov. 7-9.
