Plans delayed for future hospital Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It is anticipated the concept plan for renovating Cariboo Memorial Hospital will be completed and

submitted by spring 2015, Interior Health said Monday.

The announcement comes after the Cariboo Regional Hospital District pressured IH for an update because originally the plan

was due in summer 2014, CRHD chair John Massier said Tuesday.

“When we met with Interior Health at UBCM in September they took full responsibility for the delay. They told us within Interior

Health they have many projects to complete,” Massier said, adding one of those is G.R. Baker Hospital in Quesnel.

HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH SNOW REMOVAL Vehicles

You can help make snow cleanup more effective and efficient by avoiding parking on residential streets whenever possible, especially the day before your garbage/recycling collection day.

Carts

Garbage and recycling carts left on the curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or efficiently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection. This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

Sidewalks

Please remember, it is property owners’ responsibility to clear the sidewalk in front of your homes and businesses.

Student numbers down for SD27 Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27 enrolment has dropped by 143 students this year and 80 of those students were lost due to the prolonged teacher strike, reports Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

“Some parents who wanted their children to be attending school at the beginning of September found other options for their children when the beginning of the public school year was delayed by a few weeks,” Thiessen says.

“We are hopeful that many of these students will return next year now that we know we will have labour peace for the next five years.”

Thiessen says total student enrolment for the 2014-15 school year is 4,574 compared to 4,717 stu-

dents in 2013-14.

He says the district has seen seven and eight per cent drops in enrolment in a number of the larger schools in the district including Lake City secondary, Peter Skene Ogden secondary, Cataline elementary, 100 Mile House elementary, and Mile 108 elementary.

“We have surprisingly seen an increase in a few of our rural schools where enrolment had dropped significantly in past years,” Thiessen says.

Thiessen also addressed the impact of closing and reconfiguring schools over the last couple of years in order to balance the district’s budget provided by the Ministry of Education.

“Due to the reconfiguration of schools prior to last school year, we saw temporary increases in enrolment at Chilcotin Road elementary,

www.wltribune.com A3

Cataline elementary, and Nesika elementary,” Thiessen says.

“Portables were added at Chilcotin Road and Nesika to deal with the significant increases in students. Already this year we have seen those numbers begin to drop. Nesika is the exception to this as we have seen increases to our French Immersion, so Nesika has no extra classroom space.”

He notes the district has been steadily losing students for a number of years.

“We have projected an enrolment decrease of anywhere between 100 to 200 students every year, so the decline this year is similar to what we’ve seen over the past 10 to 15 years.

“One reason for that is that more Grade 12 students graduate than we add in Kindergarten students each year.”

PJ and Sonya Wells have a look at the silent auction items on display during the popular Christmas Gala hosted Saturday evening by the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust at the Sacred Heart Hall. The annual event is a fundraiser for equipment for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital with this year’s proceeds going toward a gamma probe.

Getting into the spirit of giving The Williams Lake Tribune and Canadian Tire are partnering with our readers and customers to help those in need this holiday season.

The Spirit of Giving Tree program will kick off Wednesday, Dec. 3 and run until Dec. 24 with the hopes of filling as many toy hampers at the Salvation Army

as we can through the generosity of our community.

The Spirit of Giving Tree will be proudly displayed inside the front doors of our local Canadian Tire and adorned with cards from the Salvation Army, each requesting boy’s and girl’s gift items most needed for the Williams Lake Sal-

vation Army to fill their Christmas toy hampers this year.

As of this week, there are already 159 families registered for toy hampers with the Salvation Army, says Capt. Ben Lippers.

Canadian Tire owner Jim Anderson said he’s thrilled to be a part of such a much-needed program in the com-

munity.

Gifts for the Spirit of Giving program can be left at Canadian Tire.

As well as the Spirit of Giving Tree, the Williams Lake Tribune is also preparing for its annual Christmas Food and Toy Drive Saturday, Dec. 13.

Mine breach spawns First Nations mining policy Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Mount Polley Mine tailings breach in August has strengthened the resolve of First Nations in the Cariboo to develop a policy that outlines their expectations of the mining industry.

In announcing the policy this week, the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw Leadership Council, comprised of four Shuswap communities near Williams Lake, said the policy will be applied to all existing,

proposed and future projects that involve or impact lands, waters and rights.

“With this mining policy we can no longer be ignored or imposed upon, and the province and industry can no longer claim they do not know how to work with us,” Xat’sull (Soda Creek) Chief Bev Sellars said in a press release.

Developed by the Fair Mining Collaborative, a project initiated by Xat’sull, the policy covers every stage of the mining process to agreement compli-

With this mining policy we can no longer be ignored or imposed upon.”

- Bev Sellars ance and benefits from operating mines, to mine cleanup.

Fair Mining Collaborative executive director Amy Crook described the policy as a practical plan for First Nations and the tools to back it up.

“It gives them the recourses to deal with

governments and companies as equals from a position of knowledge and strength,” Crook said.

Williams Lake Indian Band (WLIB) Chief Ann Louie said WLIB warned the Mount Polley dam was a disaster waiting to happen and were ig-

nored.

In 2011, when Mount Polley Mine proposed a plan to discharge water into Hazeltine Creek from the tailings storage facility WLIB, with funds from Imperial Metals, hired environmental consultant Brian Olding to prepare a re-

port.

“Brian advised at that time there were significant issues with the dam and they would have to deal with that problem or there would be potentially an issue with the stability and safety of the tailings facility,” said Kirk Dressler, economic development officer for the band.

Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson, however, said the integrity of the tailings impoundment was never raised

during meetings with local with First Nations prior to the Aug. 4th tailings breach.

“We have two agreements with First Nations and they were the first brown fields participation agreements signed in the province with an operating mine,” Robertson added.

“We are going to continue to operate on a best faith basis.

We are meeting with them next week and will continue to communicate with them as full and openly as possible,” Robertson said.

act applies, are required to make audited consolidated financial statements and the Schedule of Remuneration and Expenses available to their community members.

They must post and publish the financial documents on a website of their own and make them available on the Aboriginal Affairs website.

Anaham has had delays in reporting its financials this year because of staff members leaving for family reasons, Alphonse said.

Efforts by the band to hire an accountant have not been successful so as a last resort Anaham recently submitted its books to an accounting firm in Williams Lake.

Despite the delay in meeting the deadline, Alphonse said he believes every elected person should have to disclose all salaries and

expenses. “I strongly support the act, but think it should happen even without the transparency act,” he added.

Anaham is one of the larger Tsilhqot’in communities with an annual budget hovering around $12 million.

Alphonse said the community requires a full-time accountant and assistant bookkeepers.

On Thursday the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, Bernard Valcourt, under the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, said publishing the financial documents provides First Nations community members with more transparent and accountable governance and in turn helps to ensure band revenues are being used for their benefit.

“The Act applies the same principles of trans-

parency and accountability to First Nation governments that already exist for other governments in Canada and also helps to empower any person, including First Nation members, to hold governments accountable by seeking a Court Order for the publication of documents if the requirements of the Act are not fulfilled,” Valcourt said.

With regards to noncompliant First Nations, Valcourt said at this time government will be taking action according to the provisions of the law which will include: withholding funding for non-essential programs, services and activities; withholding of new or proposal-based non-essential program funding, publishing the names of all non-compliant First Nations on the AANDC website.

NEWS Defence argues charter breach in Gentles trial Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Lawyers for both sides in the Martin Gentles case argued for hours this week whether or not the accused’s charter rights were upheld during his arrest following a fatal collision April 22, 2012.

On trial at B.C. Supreme Court in Williams Lake this week, Gentles, 30, faces sev-

eral charges including dangerous driving in the early hours causing the death of 20-yearold Rayel MacDonald, dangerous driving causing bodily harm to Alysha Mullet, impaired driving and failing to stop at an accident involving persons.

Defence lawyer Ken Walker referenced testimony provided by Const. James MacKinnon, who told the court

he administered an Assisted Screening Device (ASD) to read Gentle’s blood alcohol content after arresting him.

Walker argued Gentle’s charter rights were compromised because the RCMP continued to investigate the incident after arresting him.

Walker said an officer doesn’t have the right to take incriminating evidence from an accused until the accused has

had the right to counsel after an arrest.

“You can’t say things like ‘have you had anything to drink tonight?’” Walker told the court. “That’s not permitted anymore because you’ve arrested him.”

Countering Crown Counsel lawyer Julie Dufour told the court Gentles did not spontaneously say anything about consumption of

alcohol until after he had been arrested.

“That is when, and only when, Const.

MacKinnon could ever have had, not only a subjective suspicion but a reasonable one to make the ASD demand,” Dufour argued.

The trial, which began Dec. 1, continued Monday and Tuesday afternoon and will resume on Monday, Dec. 8.

“Both projects are needed and the hospital district is committed to moving both forward,” Massier said.

The concept plan will address the four clinical priorities identified in the master site plan, including the immediate and

long-term space and service requirements for these priorities, IH said, adding the plan will also address future site development, such as on-site parking and access to the hospital.

For its commitment CRHD will cover 40 per cent, or about $240,000, of the concept plan cost, Massier said.

While the board is

not abreast with the concept plan’s day to day details, Massier said IH met with the board in-camera to discuss some preliminary cost estimates.

“There were no big surprises with costs, but they would like the costs nailed down as tight as they can before they start making them public.”

Once the concept

plan is submitted to the Ministry of Health

by Interior Health, then the community will have to step up to rally, Massier urged.

“At that point it will be out of Interior Health’s hands and we will have to make our business case to government,” he said.

wo Canadian women have gone where none have gone before. Former governor general Michaëlle Jean will be the first female to lead the 57-member international Organization of Francophone States. In B.C., Irene Lanzinger was elected first female President of the 104-year-old BC Federation of Labour. *** Ours not to reason why ...

Health Canada’s seven week anti-marijuana ad campaign ends this month. The $6 million campaign featured TV, web and social media ads warning of the damage using marijuana does to teenaged brains. Some medical experts and scientists question these claims, and some studies say the damage done to huFrench mans (young and Connection old) by booze and Diana French tobacco is worse than what all the illegal drugs do put together.

Question: Why do the powers that be sanction (encourage?) the use of two harmful drugs, but outlaw and vociferously campaign against one which actually has some medicinal benefits. On another topic, the courts not only denied Kinder Morgan’s request to continue exploratory drilling on Burnaby Mountain, it also dismissed charges against the 100plus protestors because the corporation had the trespass boundary in the wrong place.

Question: Why should taxpayers pay the policing and court costs incurred in the wrongful arrest of the protestors? Kinder Morgan made the mistake. Volunteer organizations could find themselves in court battles if proposed changes to the B.C. Societies Act go through. Section 99 of the proposal allows anyone and everyone to take any registered society to court if they believe the society is “carrying on activities that are detrimental to the public interest.”

Field day for lawyers, but it could bankrupt non-profit groups (charity, social, environmental, even church organizations) who might have to defend frivolous lawsuits launched by anyone who disagrees with them or their work. Some citizens’ groups are a thorn in the side of some establishments, but surely this is overkill.

Questions: Exactly what is the public interest? Who decides? Is this change constitutional?

Our Viewpoint

Gulf of generations Oh, how times have changed.

It was just over 60 years ago that work on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through Chilliwack was nearing completion.

The company sought a Pacific outlet for the oil boom just beginning to build in Alberta.

But the project was far from controversial.

Farmers sat down with the company and negotiated easements, talked about mitigation, and jousted over compensation.

By May 6, 1953 the excitement was almost palpable. “Oil to flow by September,” read a story in Chilliwack. The project had an estimated price tag of $97 million and would bring local employment to about 150 men. It would initially deliver 150,000 barrels of crude a day to the tank farm under construction in Burnaby. With the completion of additional pumping stations, that flow would increase to 300,000 barrels a day.

For company vice-president H. H. Anderson, construction carried an almost mythical

nuance.

“There are few industrial endeavors which have captured the public’s imagination like this pipeline project,” he said. “It has the same audacious aspects as the building of a transCanada railroad.”

Fast forward to 2014 and that romanticism seems hard to find. As protests become increasingly confrontational, most of the employment is going to security officials. To be clear, construction hasn’t even started yet.

What Trans Mountain is doing on Burnaby Mountain is seeing if its plan to drill through the mountain is more feasible than following its existing right-of-way through the city’s neighbourhoods.

But the battle lines are drawn. And they mark more than the difference between the two sides. They demonstrate the gulf between the world view of the 1950s and the attitudes felt by a growing militant population today.

or more than a century, Boys and Girls Clubs in communities across our nation have helped young people discover, develop and achieve their potential as future adults, citizens and leaders. Today, the need is still great for the vital educational, recreational and skills development programs and services Boys and Girls Clubs offer in our communities.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Williams Lake MLA and District is a Musings non-profit orgaDonna Barnett nization who are truly passionate about making a difference in the lives of children, youth and families in our region from all economic, cultural, religious and social backgrounds.

They engage youth in activities that challenge them to develop healthy minds and bodies. They also provide a supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life through various programs primarily offered after-school hours.

This fall, I was very impressed when I had the opportunity to meet with Matt Neufeld, the Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet our young people who live in the Cariboo region and also experience the result of the inspirational impact that the Boys and Girls Club has had in their lives, providing a safe haven of respect and belonging.

Clubs such as this help our young discover and develop their abilities and skills, building confidence and competence while encouraging healthy, respectful relationships with peers and family members.

According to results from the latest water samples from Quesnel River off the Likely Bridge, water quality continues to show turbidity levels above the B.C. drinking water guidelines and total aluminum above Health Canada drinking water guidelines.

The findings are consistent with previous results and the sampling taken Nov. 19, states the Ministry of Environment in an information bulletin issued Tuesday.

Letters aLways weLcome

Results for aquatic life show total copper levels exceed the chronic water quality guidelines.

Chronic guidelines are based on the average of five samples collected over a 30-day period.

Long-term monitoring and testing is necessary to help better determine and understand any potential long-term impacts to aquatic life.

According to the ministry, the increased turbidity at the Likely Bridge is the result of the complete breakdown of a thermocline (water temperature gradient) in

Quesnel Lake as a result of the annual fall overturn of the lake.

Fall overturn occurs when warm surface water of the lake cools allowing the cooler and deeper waters to mix with the surface water of the lake.

Interior Health said all chemical sampling on surface water located outside of the impact zone meets safety guidelines.

Residents using surface water are advised to treat water for pathogens (germs) found naturally in surface water.

Residents unable to treat their

water should boil all water used for drinking, washing of fresh fruits and vegetables and making ice for one minute or use water from an alternate potable water source.

The information bulletin stated that Mount Polley Mining Corporation, responsible for the tailing breach which released an estimated 25 million cubic metres of mine water and sediment into Quesnel Lake Aug. 4, has committed to deliver water to residents drawing water from Quesnel Lake during this period of

high turbidity.

Full-time and seasonal residents on Quesnel Lake rely on the lake for their source of water, both drinking and household.

As of Sept. 23, 2014, the Quesnel River off Likely Bridge site has been established as a federal/ provincial trend monitoring site and is being sampled weekly.

All results and explanations are publically available on the Ministry of Environment’s dedicated Mount Polley site: http:// www.env.gov.bc.ca/eemp/incidents/2014/mount-polley.htm.

Wildsafe suggests cutting trees to save bears Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Supplying residents with bear-resistant garbage bins and removing ornamental crab apple trees along Twelfth Avenue North would help solve bear problems in the city, said Dylan Matheson, Wildsafe BC’s co-ordinator in Williams Lake.

“Right now the city’s top-lifting garbage cans offer no resistance to bears and that’s one

of the reasons we have a bear problem in the town,” Matheson said during a presentation to city council last week.

Matheson was hired in June by Wildsafe BC to run the Wildsafe BC program for the first time in Williams Lake.

Funding for the program came from the Ministry of Environment with a portion from the city.

Matheson also provided a submitted written report to council

that made a number of recommendations for reducing bear attractants.

One of the recommendations suggested the city create a bylaw where residents would not be permitted to put garbage out until the morning it’s going to be collected.

The bylaw could also require that garbage be stored away so it isn’t easily accessible to animals, he added.

There were almost no

Beef sold in Walmart recalled Ground beef sold in Walmart stores across B.C., Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan has been recalled due to possible E. coli O157 contamination, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced this week.

The recall pertains to the Your Fresh Market brand products with a best before date of Nov. 28 and 29, a CFIA bul-

letin stated.

Walmart Williams Lake store manager John Donnelly said Tuesday he wasn’t sure if any of the affected beef had been sold in the local store, but he had received a few phone calls from concerned customers.

“We checked today and there is none of it in the store now,” Donnelly said.

In a bulletin about the recall, CFIA encouraged consumers to throw out any recalled beef or return it to the store where it was purchased.

“Food contaminated with E. coli O157 may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” CFIA said, adding the recall was triggered by test results.

bear calls in the summer months, but once September rolled around a total of six bears were destroyed, five of them in the same neighbourhood.

“The public was quite angry about that and it was in that Twelfth Avenue neighbourhood,” Matheson said.

Cougar calls, of which there were quite a few, were more on the outskirts of town.

“We don’t get too many cougars coming into town. There was one on 12th Avenue that I know about and the one on the golf course.”

With an aim to provide the public with education around managing attractants, Matheson went doorto-door and talked to 550 people. He put up public displays at the farmers’ markets, craft fairs and the Stampede.

Matheson did several school presentations about bear awareness, reaching 437 students in 19 classrooms at public and independent schools.

“We’ve been successful reaching out to our youth to pass on the information to their parents,” Matheson said.

“That’s one of our best tools because youth tend to be a lot more passionate about animals than the adults.”

Because it was the first year of the program in the lakecity, Matheson couldn’t make any comparisons, but said if the program remains then in a few years the city will know if it’s made a difference.

After receiving Matheson’s report council tasked staff with costing out the recommendations in the report.

Lady Pirates of the Caribbean starts Thursday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Beginning next week, the Maranatha Players are on stage performing their musical, Lady Pirates of the Caribbean.

Director Becky Strickland is thrilled to be able to present this show with such a wonderful group of 26 students.

The students auditioned on September 6 and have been rehearsing from nine to 12 hours a week ever since.

Strickland teaches musical theatre for students in grades 4 through 12 at Maranatha Christian School.

There are many students who have come up through the program, growing and developing not only as actors, but as individuals.

“One of the greatest things is watching students grow in confidence and discovering more about themselves,” Strickland says.

“It is one of the major reasons I continue to run the theatre program.”

Strickland is in her 15th year of leading the Maranatha Players and is also involved in Williams Lake Studio Theatre. This spring she directed the award winning play Sense and Sensibility.

Shayla Muir, one of three Grade 12s in the play, is one student who has grown personally.

Shayla started on stage in Grade 5 and has been in every production since.

“I choose to do drama because I love taking on the role of a different kind of person, especially one that is the opposite of who I actually am,” Shayla says. “I enjoy being challenged and stretching out of my comfort zone.”

This year Shayla has embraced the demanding role of Lucretia.

Not only does Shayla enjoy the stage, she also enjoys the great bonding experience with the group of students involved in the play.

“I think my favourite thing that happens is when we perform for opening night and just realize how much work has been put into each production and how much everyone has accomplished over the three months of rehearsals.

“It’s just a great feeling to have.”

Besides acting and singing one can often find Shayla either drawing, playing piano or taking photos, all hobbies she enjoys.

As Shayla graduates and heads off she plans to take a year to work as she explores her many options.

Julian Ratz, the only Grade 12 boy involved in the play, is a stu-

“The reason that I love theatre is because it is a part of who I am and not a part that will be easily discarded,” Julian says. “I have loved the feeling of being on stage and the relations built behind them.”

This year Julian has been given the opportunity to try his hand at the type of role he has always wanted to try, the villain Don Juan Futon.

He has embraced the challenge, both within the acting and the so-

los within the music.

Julian can also see the benefits of being involved in the theatre program.

“It is a chance to work with many other people and through the shared experience, each has helped me build my own character,” Julian says.

When Julian is not on stage you can often find him gaming.

As he looks to his future Julian will continue to explore his options as he takes a year to discover what is out in the world that intrigues him.

Lady Pirates of the Caribbean runs Thursday, Dec. 3 to Saturday, Dec. 6 and Thursday, Dec. 11 to Saturday, Dec. 13, also with a matinee on December 13.

The Maranatha Players shows are always filled with humour, singing and dancing and this year’s edition is no exception with the added bonus of sword fighting!

You won’t want to miss it!

Tickets are available at The Open Book and are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children ages 12 and under.

Speakers promote tourism development A Step Ahead How you can help with snow removal Vehicles You can help make snow cleanup more effective and efficient by avoiding parking on residential streets whenever possible, especially the day before your garbage/ recycling collection day.

Carts Garbage and recycling carts left on the curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or efficiently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection. This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

Sidewalks Please remember, it is property owners’ responsibility to clear the sidewalk in front of your homes and businesses.

Purple Ribbon Campaign in full swing Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Women’s Contact Society is spearheading the annual Purple Ribbon Campaign in the lakecity this week.

“We were looking for different ways for people to speak out and acknowledge that violence is a problem in our communities and society,” executive director Irene Willsie says of the society’s multi-level approach to this year’s program.

The Purple Ribbon Campaign runs Monday, Dec. 1 through Sunday, Dec. 7 and coincides with the annual National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women Dec. 6 which remembers the 14 women who were murdered in Montreal on that date in 1989 because they were women.

Monday evening

about 80 women were invited to Eloquence Spa to have purple extensions put in their hair as a way to start the conversation about ending violence against women.

People are also being asked to wear the purple ribbons and buttons being distributed free by participating local businesses this week as a way to remember all women who have died violently and as a reminder that thousands of women continue to live with abuse; and to raise awareness about the pervasiveness of violence against women.

“This is an opportunity for men, as well as women to remember and acknowledge violence against women and to support the work to prevent violence against women,” Willsie says.

On Thursday and Friday, service providers from the Cariboo

Friendship Society, Women’s Contact Society and Axis Family Resources will be delivering information to students at Lake City Secondary Schools regarding violence against women.

The women’s centre is also selling white scarves with the stop the violence message.

Part of the $20 cost will help to support the women’s centre’s prevention of violence against women program.

According to research Willsie says domestic violence has long-term impacts on communities, the health care system and the economy in general.

“When people are living with violence they are less productive at work because they are distracted,” Willsie says.

“Their lives are often so chaotic that they can’t focus on their

work and they may miss work because they are recovering from an assault or anticipating when the next one will happen.”

She says research indicates that violence in the home is especially

damaging to the brain development of children ages six and under. Research also indicates that 80 per cent of all violent criminals report a history of experiencing or witnessing violence as a child.

Stylist Danny Moses has personal reasons for volunteering to put purple extensions in the hair of visitors invited to Eloquence Spa Monday evening.

The purple extensions are part of the Women’s Contact Society’s annual Purple Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness that violence against women is not OK. Moses says he has worked hard to break the cycle of violence that gripped his own family as he was growing up.

“I was the youngest of 13 children and was personally affected by violence. I experienced everything you can imagine when it comes to child abuse,” Moses says.

He says he has worked hard to break the cycle of violence in his family and raise awareness about the problem in society.

“None of my chil-

dren experience violence whatsoever,” Moses says. “It is a recovery of a whole generation.”

He says that while he was living in Merritt he organized a men’s pageant to raise awareness among men about the problem and to raise money for the Merritt women’s shelter.

He says 18 men from various professions participated in the show which included men dressing up as women, delivering speeches and participating in a talent contest.

“We raised so much money for the cause it was ridiculous,” Moses says.

In Williams Lake the Cariboo Friendship Centre’s Chiwid Transition House provides a safe place for women and children leaving abusive relationships.

The centre is funded for 16 beds and is staffed 24 hours a day.

Everything is provided to the women and children includ-

The staff make referrals to other community service providers and attend court as support for the women in their care.

Child care is provided a couple of days a week and there is a counsellor on staff who meets with clients once a week to assess

the situation.

The maximum stay at the shelter is 30 days. Staff also help find housing for women leaving violent or abusive relationships.

Chiwid also accepts donations of furniture, bedding, beds, dishes and clothing as well as non-perishable groceries to help in the transition.

Some Chinese gold rush history Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor

1863 was the most profitable year of the gold rush, with more than $4 million in placer gold being taken from the creeks and rivers of the Cariboo gold fields.

During that year, and for several years after, gold seekers continued to flood into the area, but the surface diggings on most of the creeks had been mined already.

In several places, hard rock mines were begun in order to get at the gold depoitson the bedrock, some 30- to 50-feet below the surface.

In other places, hydraulic mining began to gain in popularity, where many tons of gravel were washed away in order to obtain relatively small amounts of gold.

Rumours abounded of gold “up north” and many of the gold seekers moved on to the Stikene and the Cassian regions, looking for easy pickings.

Only the hardiest (some would say the foolhardiest) men remained, determined to find a little gold and at least break even.

Enter the Chinese

miners.

A great many of theme moved in to rework the discovery claims in the goldfields and to set up small sluicing operations.

By the spring of 1867, it was estimated there were some 200 Chinese miners in the Cariboo River area between Quesnel Forks and Keithly Creek.

By 1869, when the first provincial census of the 80,000-square mile Cariboo region was conducted, there were 919 white males, 69 white females and almost as many Chinese — 720 males and six females.

Most of these people could be found in the Quesnel Forks, Keithly Creek, Barkerville area, with a few others in the Quesnel, Wells, Stanley corridor.

During the next decade the number of Chinese in the gold fields had doubled, and the white population had declined by half.

Provincial laws passed in Victoria encouraged this population to shift.

Restrictions on Chinese people were so severe that many chose to move to the rural areas where they could avoid official harassment, yet still earn a reasonable living.

Even so, the law did not favour the Chinese. White mine labourers earned $6 per day, while the Chinese

earned $3.50 for the same job.

The government collected claim fees from the Chinese ($15 per year versus $5 for whites), yet they were not allowed to vote.

They were prevented by law from purchasing Crown land, so many were, by necessity, squatters.

All Chinese males over the age of 14 were required to pay an annual “head tax” of $10.

Provincial legislation covering the registry of births, deaths and marriages specifically excluded Chinese and Indians.

B.C. in the latter half of the 19th century was truly a racist society, yet somehow, the Chinese stayed on, worked hard and prospered.

They were, in fact, often respected and

admired for their work ethic and their diligence by the whites, who lived and laboured alongside them.

William Stephenson, the government agent at Quesnel Forks from 1877 to 1900, reported that “as a class, they are industrious, sober and economical. They are not lazy, drunken, extravagant, or turbulent; they do not openly violate the laws, but they will evade them in every possible way.”

Mining is a dangerous occupation, and during the 1800s there were no safety standards.

Over the years, many Chinese people lost their lives through accidents, exposure to the elements, disease, murder and even suicide.

The reading of the Memory Book during last year's Memory Tree Celebration.

Memory Tree lights up Sunday The 19th annual Memory Tree Celebration takes place this Sunday, Dec. 7 at Williams Lake city hall from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

The event is an opportunity to remember and commemorate those who have passed away and a place for the community to gather for mutual support.

The celebration opens in the lobby with snacks and refreshments, followed by poems and spiritual readings in the city council chambers.

There will also be choir performances, harp music, candle lighting, reading of the names in the Memory Book and a moment of silence.

The celebration concludes with the lighting of the Memory Tree outside city hall at approximately 4:30 p.m.

Everyone is invited whether you are there to remember a loved one and purchase an ornament in their name or simply to celebrate the season.

Volunteers will be

collecting loved ones names for the Memory Book and donations for Memory Tree ornaments this Saturday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Save-On Foods.

The Memory Tree Celebration is hosted and organized by the Central Cariboo Hospice Palliative Care Society.

Bone shipments common practice Continued From Page A18

In the Quesnel Forks cemetery alone, there is a central Chinese section, where up to 40 Chinese men, and a few women were buried.

The Chinese belief was that the soul could not rest, and was doomed to wander the earth until the person’s bones were returned to the birthplace in China.

Thus, representatives of the Chinese Hospital Association, headquartered in Victoria, would keep records of all Chinese burials in the province.

After 10 years they would arrange with the local officials or government agents to have the grave dug up.

The bones were

then separated, dried in the sun or in small sheds (you can still see the small bone shed in the Chinese section of the Quesnel Forks cemetery), cleaned, then placed in a cloth bag.

These bags were tagged with all the pertinent information related to the deceased — name, age, date of death, place of birth, etc. (This information had been written on a piece of cloth, sealed in a bottle and placed in a coffin at the time of burial).

When eight to 10 bone bags had been filled, which could take up to four or five years, they were placed into a wooden bone box, which was then transported by freight wagon to Victoria.

In Victoria, these bone boxes were stored

in a cement enclosure at Harling Point while awaiting the next ship to China.

The boxes were opened, and the individual bone bags were each placed in a crockery container, then repacked in large crates.

A ship would arrive, offload its cargo, then load up these crates and take them back to Hong Kong.

There, the Tung Wah hospital was the main distribution centre, and the crockery containers were forwarded to their final destinations.

Prior to 1928, the remains of all deceased Chinese people were exhumed and returned to their birthplace for permanent burial.

However, in the 1930s, the government of China began to dis-

Then, the war with Japan came along, followed by the Second World War, and the shipments stopped altogether.

The Chinese Hospital Association attempted to revive the tradition again in 1944, but the bone warehouse was broken into and the contents vandalized.

The remaining bones were buried in a Victoria cemetery, and the bone shipments never resumed.

The next time you visit Quesnel Forks, have a look at the old cemetery.

Becoming visually impaired hasn’t stopped 87-year-old Christina McIsaac from knitting up a storm.

Recently the Williams Lake resident lost the vision in one eye completely and half of the vision in the other eye due to glaucoma.

At the Seniors Village Craft Fair last Sunday, Christina was selling socks and scarves she’d made.

Sitting beside her was her grand-daughter Leslie Lingholt who also knits sweaters and scarves.

“I also make dog sweaters for other people’s dogs,” Christina said.

In July Christina suffered the loss of her 62-year-old daughter Pat Lingholt to cancer.

The two widows had been living together in a trailer since 2003, but before Pat died she arranged for her mom to move into Seniors Village.

“I moved here in August,” Christina said.

“At first I wanted to say I hated it here, but then I said, ‘wait a minute this is my home’, and you know, I just love it here.”

Pointing to the scarves she made, she explained that they were made with arm knitting, where you pull the wool from arm to arm.

She learned the technique from the granddaughter of one of her new friends in Seniors Village, she said.

Originally from Coulter, Man., Christina came to Williams Lake with her late husband Gerard McIsaac who was working for BC Rail at the time.

For 15 years she worked at Boitanio Cleaners in the mall as a seamstress doing alterations and repairs.

“I forgot to tell you that I’ve won several ribbons at the Fall Fair for my knitting,” Christina said, as Leslie rummaged through the socks and pulled out a white pair that had won first prize.

Smiling Christina said it relaxes her to knit.

Fruit cake purchases with love Monica Lamb-Yorski Smart 55

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Williams Lake Seniors Village resident Wintson MacKay (left), and Canadian Cancer Society volunteers Susan Graves (middle) and Jenni Bazan show off boxes of fruit cake Sunday during the WLSV Christmas Craft Fair.

Up until he lost his wife Mary to cancer 17 years ago, Winston MacKay always bought chocolates to give away as gifts at Christmas time.

Then one day MacKay met some volunteers with the Canadian Cancer Society, learned about the society’s annual Christmas cake sale and was hooked.

“Every year I buy at least three cases in memory of my wife,” the 75-year-old Williams Lake senior said during the Seniors

Village Christmas Craft Fair Sunday. “I still remember her so well.”

MacKay lives at Seniors Village but said from his wheelchair as he sat alongside Canadian Cancer Society volunteers Jenni Bazan and Susan Graves when it comes to the fruit cake sale he’s a town crier.

To make his point, he wheeled around the fair drawing people back to the table.

Graves and Bazan said the cakes are available for sale up until Dec. 19 while supplies last at the Cancer Society’s office at

the Senior’s Activity Centre on Fourth Avenue.

After determining what kind of fruit cake this reporter likes, MacKay motioned to Graves to retrieve a dark one from the

stash beneath the table.

And with a smile as wide as one would expect from old St. Nick he handed it over and then, almost threateningly said, “you are going to love this.”

Fans help Stamp out Hunger Thanks to the generosity of Williams Lake Stampeders’ fans during last Saturday’s home game the shelves at the Salvation Army Food Bank are looking a little more full this week.

“The Stamps would like to thank the best fans in the Central Interior Hockey League for supporting the Stamps’ Stamp out Hunger campain,” said Calvin Dubray, Stampeders’ sponsorship and marketing director. “Also, Heartland Toyota for partnering with us and Save-On-Foods for donating the shopping carts.”

This Saturday, Dec. 13, when the Stampeders host the Quesnel Kangaroos at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, the team will be hosting a toque, mitten and teddy bear toss and are asking fans to bring any of the previously mentioned items to throw onto the ice during the first intermission.

All of the items will go to the Boys and Girls Club to distribute to children in need.

“The support and generosity of our fans has been tremendous and we know they will come through again,” Dubray said.

Also, during the second intermission the team will host a turkey shoot where 10 fans will be selected from their program ticket to shoot for a chance to win one of 10 turkeys. Any turkeys not claimed will go to the Salvation Army.

Puck drop Saturday is 7:30 p.m. at the CMRC.

Williams Lake Midget Rep Tournament Coming up this weekend is the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Midget Rep Tournament.

Williams Lake Novice Bulls players Jada Wood, Brady Wood and Carter Boomer organize food alongside Williams Lake Stampeders’ director Simon Zurak last Saturday during the Stampeders’ ‘Stamp out Hunger’ campaign. Fans were asked to bring non-perishable food items to the game in exchange for half price on their tickets. The food was then delivered to the Salvation Army.

City applies to host Mountain Bike Symposium Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The City of Williams Lake has applied to host the 2015 B.C. Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium.

The event, which is expected to draw 150 to 200 industry professionals and mountain bikers to the city for a minimum of three days, gathers stakeholders including mountain bike advocates, trail builders, land managers, commercial operators, mountain bike media operators and government and industry representatives to discuss the benefits of mountain biking tourism on the economy.

“They [the B.C. Mountain Bike Tourism Association] bring the speakers and we get to have some input on topics so we can make it a real part of our community,” said Beth Holden, the city’s events

SPORTS NOTEBOOK

Beth Holden and marketing co-ordinator. “Our responsibility will be to host a welcome reception, a Saturday night social and to guide local rides, so a lot of that would fall on the [Williams Lake Puddle Bike Club] and the [Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium].”

B.C. is already recognized as

a hotbed for mountain biking throughout the world, and Holden said showcasing Williams Lake will provide additional benefits for the community moving forward.

City council voted unanimously during last week’s council meeting in favour of applying to host the event.

“With hundreds of kilometres of single track, comprehensive signage and growing supportive infrastructure, this region is quickly gaining media and rider attention resulting in an increase in mountain bike tourism each year,” she said.

In applying to host the symposium Holden asked the city to set aside up to $4,000 of its $5,000 Event Hosting Grant allocation budget. In 2014, $4,080 of the grant went untouched. A city staff member would also be appointed to head up the project.

She said the approximate direct economic impact from hosting the event is estimated to be $65,000.

Other organizations who have agreed to contribute to the event include Recreation Site and Trails BC, the Williams Lake Puddle Bike Club, the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, Barking Spider, Red Shred’s, the Ramada, the Sandman, the Gecko Tree, Barkerville Brewery and the Williams Lake and Area Chamber of Commerce.

“I have strong support from the mountain bike club and the consortium to step in to help out, as well as other members of the community,” she said.

The official date of the symposium has not yet been specified, however, it’s expected the event will be held in the fall of 2015 between mid-September and late October.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour returns to the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake as one of 400 stops throughout 40 countries around the globe.

Join the City of Williams Lake to witness the spectacle of outdoor adventure at 7 p.m. to view films such as Tashi and the Monk, Tumwater Solitude and Happy Winter.

For tickets and information contact the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-3987665 or Red Shred’s at 250-3987873.

Advance tickets are $17 for adults, $12 for seniors and students. At the door tickets are $19 for adults and $14 for seniors and students.

Midget T-wolves have successful weekend It was a successful home-ice weekend for the Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves who took three out of a possible four points in two league games against the Prince George Midget Cougars.

Coming off a rough previous tournament and a recent 5-0 loss to Prince George the T-wolves were looking for some redemption at home and came out flying in the first game in a 5-1 outing.

The T-wolves fell behind 1-0 early but kept pressuring the Cougars throughout the game, which eventually paid off.

The line of Will Paynton, Lane Wycotte and Owen Powers were dominant combining for 10 points. Paynton had two goals and two assists, Wycotte added a goal and two assists and Powers potted a goal and two assists. Josh Novakowski added the other marker for the Twolves.

Trevor Woodward was in net for the win.

In game two Williams Lake trailed most of the game but managed to gut out a 4-4 tie. The T-wolves pulled ahead, 4-3, with nine minutes

remaining but surrendered the tying goal with three minutes on the clock.

Mitch Labossiere, Powers, Wycotte and Novakowski added tallies for the T-wolves, while Hayden Lyons settled for the tie in between the pipes.

Also playing at home during the weekend 5 x 7 inches were the Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves, who lost one and tied one against Prince George.

Scoring in game one’s Angie Mindus photos 5-3 defeat for Williams Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves’ forward Dylan Sellars Lake were Andy Berkechases down the puck into the Prince George Midget Cougars’ end laar, Denzel Jackson Saturday. and Jimi Belleau, while Dawson Billyboy and Brody Conroy collected assists.

In game two Sunday Lane Paddison and Jackson lit the lamp, while Grady Thomas added two assists, to tie Prince George, 2-2.

Coming up this weekend is the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Midget Rep Tournament.

Safety Tip: Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confident driving in winter.

Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or family member who is a confident driver, or take a taxi.
