It was another difficult day at Mount Polley Tuesday as 120 employees were laid off, confirmed United Steelworkers Union Local 4-125 president Paul French Tuesday.

“We knew this day was coming,” said French, noting the layoffs will mostly impact equipment operators and truck drivers. The layoff of 120 people equals more than half of the unionized employees at the mine, he added.

Describing the layoffs as “tremendous,” French said the union will do everything it can to get people back to work.

“We have to put pressure on the government that if the application for restart is there not to wait,” he said. “Any restart has to be done properly and cannot be forced through if it isn’t correct, but we are hopeful what Mount Polley has proposed will work.”

French said the union fears the permit may not be accepted, or if it is, startup could be as late as the middle of July.

“We are quite nervous,” French said. “Is this just a temporary blip and the guys will get called back or is there going to be something wrong with that temporary permit?”

During a telephone conference with the CRD on April 24, the Ministry of Mines said it hopes to make a decision on the temporary permit by mid-June.

Imperial Metals vice president Steve Robertson was unavailable for comment before press time.

Man drowns at Opheim Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A man drowned at Opheim Lake off Jacobson Road east of Williams Lake Sunday afternoon.

“A fellow who lives near Big Lake Ranch put his boat in the water and went fishing,” said Barb McLintock of the BC Coroners Service Monday. “Another fellow who lives nearby was also out fishing, and when he was returning he realized the first man appeared to have fallen out of the boat.”

The second man tried to help, but the drowned man could not be resuscitated, McLintock

www.wltribune.com A3

said.

Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the RCMP received a call about the drowning at 4:23 p.m.

Sunday afternoon.

Members arrived to assist Big Lake Volunteer Fire and Rescue recover the man from the lake.

“We took two boats out to retrieve the man and his boat,” said Big Lake Volunteer Fire Rescue Fire Chief Joel Bruneski, noting he didn’t know the deceased man personally.

Bruneski described Opheim Lake as a small lake in Beaver Valley and said there were other people fishing there

on Sunday.

The name of the decased is being withheld until the next of kin have been notified, McLintock said Tuesday.

Vehicles rummaged through Overnight April 30 and May 1 vehicles were rummaged through in the 1100 block of Eleventh Avenue North, 400 and 600 blocks of Fourth Avenue, 800 block of Pigeon Avenue, 1200 block of Resker Place and 300 block of Patenaude Street.

“We are alerting the public to keep vehicles locked and parked in well lit areas,” Byron said Monday.

Researchers pen journal on affects of mine breach Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In the aftermath of the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach Quesnel Lake’s level rose by 7.7 centimetres, its temperature at the bottom increased by one to 2.5 C, and sediment samples showed elevated copper concentrations, often above sediment quality guidelines for freshwater ecosystems.

Those are some of the findings outlined in a scientific research paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters on the impacts of the Aug. 4, 2014 breach.

As the paper was released online Tuesday, one of the five UNBC scientists who authored the paper said it is the first of what will be a long series of articles.

“It was important to

release the paper relatively quickly because it was such a dramatic event,” UNBC Geography professor Dr. Ellen Petticrew said of the breach. “We could see big changes in both the water temperature in the bottom, on the dispersion of the plume and on the quality of the plume. We wanted to get that out so that people were aware of what was happening.”

Joining Petticrew on the research team were UNBC scientists Sam Albers, Phil Owens, Stephen Dery and Nikolaus Ganter.

Their paper focused on data that was collected between Aug. 4 and Oct. 4.

“People have been collecting more data since then, but it takes a while to get material out, evaluated and published,” Petticrew said.

Angie Mindus photo

Quesnel River Research Centre manager Sam Albers speaks to students at Lake City secondary’s Columneetza campus last month about Earth Day. Albers co-authored a report on the effects of the Mount Polley tailings pond breach on Quesnel Lake.

They also used background data prepared by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, University of B.C. and the Quesnel River Re-

search Centre (QRRC) that provided information on the physical aspects of the lake and some of the factors that regulate how ma-

terial moves around the lake.

Albers manages the QRRC and said the newly released paper is the formal peer-reviewed version of the story he and his colleagues have been repeating for months.

“It’s about the spread of the sediment, the watershed, and some of the physical changes in the lake that have contributed to some unusual mixing patterns,” he said.

The lake turnover was early in the fall and the spring, Albers said, noting for the next several years those turnovers will be important to observe.

“Remember in late December and early January the lake and river turned green for about a month because the sediment caught near the breach site was being flushed out,”

he said. “Every year we will look at it closely to see if we see some of the same patterns we saw this year.”

Their research also found that turbidity of the water column was increased into the West Arm of Quesnel Lake, indicating the existence of a sediment plume at depths below 30 metres, and that ultra-fine sediments remained suspended.

Rocking of the water column also redirected the sediment plume — estimated to be 600 metres long and one to three metres deep — toward the North and East Arms of Quesnel Lake, as well as towards the lake outflow, Quesnel River.

Several research projects taking place or planned at the QRRC involve people from UNBC, the University of Toronto, Thompson

Rivers University and the United Kingdom.

The sediment plume, made up of tailings and scoured natural material that was washed down from Hazeltine Creek, continues to be a main concern for scientists.

“We know the plume is high in copper and one of the big concerns is will it stay there in the plume or will it find its way into the food web?” Albers said.

A good reason for publishing the paper in an international journal is to make the Mount Polley Mine spill more of a global story, Petticrew said.

“Mining is global and dams break all over the world, but much of the story has been presented and discussed in B.C. because that’s where the regulations are and that’s where the mine is.”

SD 27 lays out new community use policy Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27’s new draft policy for community use of schools is now on the SD 27 website for public review until May 21.

The 14-page document includes rules and regulations for school use and a new fee schedule that switches from the former monthly rate to an hourly rate system.

The fee schedule calls for a minimum booking of two hours and a maximum fee charge of up to eight hours.

The new fees are

All You Can Eat 10am - 2pm Members and guests welcome!

385 Barnard Street • 250-392-4255

scheduled to start Aug. 1.

Rates were established on a square foot use basis and after consulting with user groups and comparing facility use rates at other local venues and what other school districts are charging, secretary-treasurer Kevin Futcher explained in presenting the draft at the regular board meeting April 28.

The trustees endorsed the draft which is in keeping with the district’s cost recovery mandate and authorized it to be put on the district’s website for further input from the public

before the draft is given final approval.

An administrative reference manual of procedures for staff will be completed once the board has given final approval to the new policy.

The policy includes a non-refundable administration application fee of $10 applied to all rental groups per location. The payment must be attached to each rental application.

Rates per hour are as follows: Classroom: youth not for profit, unpaid instructor, $2.25; youth not for profit, paid instructor, $3; adult not for profit, $3.50; private: $10; commercial: $12.50.

Small elementary gym/library/multi-purpose: youth not for profit, unpaid instructor, $4.75; youth not for profit, paid instructor, $6; adult not for profit, $7.50; private: $20; commercial, $25.

Regular elementary gym (and half of PSO secondary gym): youth not for profit, unpaid

instructor, $9; youth not for profit, paid instructor, $11.50; adult not for profit, $13.50; private, $30; commercial, $40.

Secondary school gym: youth not for profit, unpaid instructor, $16; youth not for profit, paid instructor, $20; adult not for profit, $24.; private, $60; commercial, $75.

Groups will be able to receive a 25 per cent reduction in their rental fee for booking the entire school year Oct. 15 to June 15 for a minimum two-hour rental per week. There would be no refunds for cancelled bookings unless the cancellations exceed 25 per cent of the annual booking. All other rates would apply.

The schedule includes custodial fees of $30 per hour, for a minimum four-hour callout with (overtime rates may apply) for all days that students are not in session including weekends, fall, spring and winter breaks and non-instructional days.

A custodial fee may still apply for larger groups even when the facility custodian is on site.

The custodial fee may be waived for small groups of less than 20 that book for two hours during times when the school custodian is not on site.

In lieu of the regular custodial fee, the rental fee for the small groups will be increased by 25 per cent to offset the cost of cleaning on days when students are not in session.

The fee schedule includes a small group key deposit (other conditions also apply) of $100. In some circumstances a key may be distributed to a community group.

Fees are also in place for the delivery of tables and chairs between schools. The delivery fee would be $100 for intown delivery and $150 for out-of town delivery.

A rental fee for the use of tables and chairs and equipment will also apply.

Williams Lake man helps in Nepal Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mitch Wiebe of Williams Lake is in Nepal helping with recovery and rehabilitation efforts in a remote area impacted by last month’s devastating earthquake.

The 20-year-old arrived in Nepal on April 14 with the non-profit organization Youth With a Mission out of Denver, Colorado.

In fact, his parents

Cordell and Cheri Wiebe in Williams Lake first heard about the earthquake when Cheri received a text message from Mitch telling her he was OK. They talked with him for the first time last Thursday by telephone and learned the Denver group is now helping the American organization Five14 Pvt Ltd. “They are basically bringing people food and water,” Cordell

said Friday.

In a video posted on the Five14 Pvt Ltd. Facebook page April 29, aid worker Stephen Groves said they are working to bring aid to a remote village that has been completely destroyed.

“For now the people have gathered all the food they could find which is basically Ramen and biscuits,” Groves said.

Mitch was born and raised in Williams Lake and graduated

from Columneetza Secondary School.

In 2012 he travelled to Costa Rica with Youth With a Mission Denver on a three-month mission as a youth volunteer and this time around is a volunteer staff member.

“They were there to assist the people of Nepal in the first place, and now with the earthquake it’s much more practical and real,” Cordell said.

If all goes as planned, the owners of Red Tomato Pies will move their business into a new building of their own.

“We need a bigger space,” said Amanda Akeson, who along with her husband, Jason, have owned the franchise for five years.

The new location would only be half a

block away west on Proctor Street, but it would allow for three apartments upstairs and space for a second business on the main floor.

Their application has one more step and goes to council on May 12, Akeson said while she stopped for a short break from preparing pizzas alongside her staff Wednesday night.

At last Tuesday’s

regular council meeting a zoning amendment request by Sprucelee Construction to change the lot from two family residential to multi-use received no concerns during a public hearing, and was later given three readings.

Resident Elke Reiner praised the application because it wasn’t asking for any variances and said she really liked the idea of apartments

upstairs.

Akeson said they might do something themselves in the second space, but haven’t made any final decisions.

The hope is to begin construction in June, she added.

As is common, the zoning amendment will also go to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval.

Lost in the bedding

Bettering society through innovation

SAFETY FIRST

A

job is a job, right?

Well, apparently not. We pull out the stops (and rightly so) when we think hundreds of jobs in our community might disappear.

We don’t always notice when jobs go one or two at a time.

The Interior Health Authority is planning to disappear jobs by privatizing laundry services at its 11 acute care hospitals. In Williams Lake that means the loss of two full time, one 3/4 time and a number of casual persons. IHA’s rationale is that it will cost less to ship the laundry out to a private contractor than it would to replace aging laundry equipment.

It seems strange that all the equipment at every hospital is wearing out.

Doesn’t IHA reFrench place the washers Connection and dryers when Diana French necessary? If not why not?

But, aha, the laundry workers are members of HEU, and our provincial government isn’t crazy about unions. Surely that can’t have anything to do with the decision, but regardless it doesn’t seem right to lose jobs to other cities (or provinces).

Whatever, IHA is talking about money, not services and I for one doubt a company in another city will give the same attention to little things like local staff do. Like, when a patient’s dentures get lost in the bedding, how will an out-of-town laundry know where they belong? Do the decision makers even know exactly what all the laundry workers do? I’m not convinced that we get better service from IHA than we did from the local health boards.

Kamloops and Nelson councils are backing the workers. It will be interesting to see if our politicians back ours. *** The late Ray Arnold , a U.S. sustainability activist, said waste was “anything we did not get right the first time.” That sounds like as good a definition as any. It can apply to everything from a householder buying too many veggies to cost over-runs of mega projects.

Our Viewpoint

Less will be the norm It’s time to expect less from our governments.

Lists and their parameters vary, but most rankings have Canadians inside the top 10 of the most heavily-taxed residents in the world. Canadians hold health care and education near and dear.

We should. Despite wait times and frustrations, we can anecdotally be proud of our universal health care and education systems.

Just don’t call it free. Health care and education spending rises every year, regardless of which party is in power in Ottawa or Victoria.

Technological advances and the accompanying gadgets/miracle machines are more and more expensive to buy every year. Staff, union or not, generally cost more every year.

On average, provinces spend approximately 40 per cent of their total budgets on health care (source: healthcarefunding.ca).

Education funding, as a percentage of provincial budgets, is a more difficult number to research, but from what we could find, 15-20 per cent is in the ball park.

That means, conservatively, 60 per cent of the provincial government’s budget is spent on health care and education. And that’s not

going to decline any year soon as the population continues to age.

As those costs rise and eat up more and more of the budget, there will be less money for everything else. All of this means there is less money for anything other than the basics. The condition of provincial and municipal roadways will become increasingly worse.

What can be done other than lower our expectations? The easy answer is to raise taxes. We do not favour that route, as we believe more money in the pockets of residents makes for better local economies. Allow for more private healthcare facilities?

The theory here is those who can afford it can pay for it, taking themselves out of the public-waiting-list logjam, freeing up time in operating rooms for the rest of us.

The concept seems sacrilegious to some, almost anti-Canadian, but it may provide relief we most certainly need.

Forgive us, Tommy Douglas, but the way healthcare costs are spiraling, we need to find a way to keep some form of universal healthcare alive for future generations.

ocial innovation is about change — change that helps meet both social and economic challenges as well as finding opportunities and creating new ideas to use existing resources to design, fund and deliver services.

It happens when government, business leaders, non-profit organizations and communities work together to find new Bettering societysolutions to existing issues.

Social enterprises are an example of social innovation in practice.

Throughout B.C., they are making a difference in our communities and neighbourhoods every day by directing their MLA revenue to drive Musings social change through unique Donna Barnett and diverse social missions.

To help raise awareness of the work social entrepreneurs are doing in our province, communities and the economy — our government has proclaimed May 2015 as Social Enterprise Month.

Social Enterprises operate like a business, producing goods and services for sale and earning revenue while blending its redirected profit towards a social and/or environmental purpose.

They find innovative and engaging ways to help solve social, culture, economic and environmental changes.

What connects them all is that their primary purpose is a social one; they direct their revenues toward making society a better, stronger, more wholesome place.

A social enterprise can take many forms — from a charitable organization to a co-operative, to a business focused on social objectives.

That is why we are committed as a government to strengthening B.C.’s social-innovation sector and helping social enterprises thrive.

This month and beyond, I encourage you to support your community driven groups, and also go to HubcapBC.ca to get involved, and learn more.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Sad to see KidSport Classic run its course Editor: Re: KidSport Classic cancelled for 2015 I read the above article written by Greg Sabatino in the Tribune Weekend Advisor on Friday, May 1, 2015.

It is always sad to see events run their course and the cancellation of the KidSport/Dave Ja-

cobs Classic is no exception.

This event was truly “classic.”

It would not have been possible without community support from committee members, volunteers, runners and walkers.

Many hours of volunteer time were poured into the organization of these two events as well as several “Relay by the Lake” races and Mini Triath-

Federal budget just another distraction Editor: Harper stated a long time ago that “economic freedom” trumps “political (personal) freedom.”

The Conservatives have incrementally moved to strip individual rights and freedoms from Canadians. Cherished social programs, such as cutting $36 billion from health care over 10 years, are also in jeopardy.

Canadian writer Cleo Paskal uses “nationalistic capitalism” to describe the way China’s central committee authoritatively mandates economic activity and ruthlessly supresses any dissent. Bill C-51 is a distraction from the Harper agenda focusing not on terrorism, but the suppression of freedoms.

www.wltribune.com A7

Harper has convinced Canadians that personal security is at stake.

Canadians only need to surrender the freedom to assemble, the freedom to speak, and the freedom to protest a pipeline, a dam, or a mine — any activity that “threatens the economy.”

These age-old freedoms will be punishable by fines and jail.

Oh, and there will be no meaningful parliamentary oversight to safeguard abuses of individual rights.

The government’s vision of the economy trumps freedoms.

Harper has presented himself as the guardian of the economy.

After seven balanced budgets by Paul Martin, Harper plunged the country back into deficit because he placed his single economic egg for pros-

perity into the tar sands’ nest.

Economists warned of the petroleum boom and bust cycle; economist Jeff Rubin alone has devoted two books to the impending economic disaster awaiting Canada if we do not change course.

Now, we have a budget to distract voters from economic mismanagement.

The words “balanced budget” and “tax cuts” are distractions for a failed economic vision, and Harper’s foolish strategy to sell tar sands’ products abroad while the world is working to reduce oil dependency.

Before October’s election, we will be distracted further from the real Conservative agenda.

This year we celebrate the 70year bond between Canada and the Netherlands.

Because of this good bond, I was told that it was not that difficult to emigrate to Canada.

In November of 2013 I married my Canadian husband, we paid the fee of $550 CAD and sent in all the paperwork which was needed. March 2014 all the papers were sent back to Holland because they had to be sent to another city in Canada.

In October of 2014 they told us we had to do all the paper-

work again, because it was old information. How can dates become old information?

In January of 2015 I got an email from the CIC that they had begun my papers in November 2014.

Now it’s May 2015 and I still know nothing.

In May 2014 I paid $100 CAD for my temporary residence, the valid date was 18 April 2015.

Again we paid $100 CAD for a new temporary residence, but still don’t have an answer. That means that I cannot travel.

In the meantime I don’t have medical insurance, I am not al-

lowed to share the medical insurance of my husband. I can have a private insurance, but that is very expensive.

There is more, (I have) a lot of money in the bank, but they can not give me a Mastercard.

I have a Mastercard from Walmart now.

I have had a drivers licence for 30 years, but I may not drive.

I could buy an international drivers license in Holland and may drive here for a year with it.

Not my friends in the Netherlands, nor the people in Williams Lake, I talk to, understand this.

Argentinians treated to lakecity hospitality

couple live in their car, and said the trip has become about the day to day experience of meeting new people.

“You meet lots of homeless people at gas stations in the U.S.,” Vilarino said. “They give you tips about the cheapest place to take a shower and things like that.”

Both of them studied tourism in university and have worked in the field, but after dreaming about doing a big trip, they decided to go for it.

So far their trip has taken them from Argentina to Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, a side trip to Cuba, back to Mexico, and into the

U.S. at Texas, across the U.S. and into Canada, Noelia said.

Soon after they crossed the border into Canada they were pulled over by the police.

When they asked the police if they had done something wrong, the police officer said no.

He only wanted to ask if they had really driven all the way from Argentina.

“It’s normal for us to miss our family, but we feel like we have family here in Williams Lake,” Vilarino said.

Chappell was sad to

see them leave.

“I know they have touched a lot of people on their journey and will continue to,” she said.

Dave Scheer, a technician at Toyota, took them on a tour of Farwell Canyon and arranged with a friend for them to go mountain biking with bikes borrowed from Barking Spider.

HCTF Chair Harvey Andrusak says the grant selection process is competitive and ensures that the maximum conservation benefit is achieved for the money available.

“Each year, we receive hundreds of applications requesting funding for BC conservation projects,” said Andrusak.

“These proposals are carefully reviewed and evaluated on their technical merit, and also their potential to make a positive difference for fish and wildlife: only the best of the best are selected for funding.”

For 2015/16, HCTF has approved 118 projects in BC: a total of $6.5 million in grants.

Most of the funding awarded comes from surcharges on fishing and hunting licences, and many of the approved projects are focused on species important to anglers and hunters.

However, a significant number of grants also go to projects benefitting whole ecosystems, species-at-risk, and environmental education programs.

Zone drama festival returns to lakecity Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Central Interior Zone Drama Festival was originally scheduled to take place in Prince George this month but due to unforeseen circumstances will now take place in Williams Lake, says festival co-ordinator Mary Jo-Hilyer.

The Studio Theatre hosted the zone festival last year.

The zone festival dates are May 29, 30 and 31. The adjudicator will be Amy Baskin from Kamloops.

The Studio Theatre’s production of Proof which will be on stage this week and next week for its regular run, will be the first play on stage for the festival on May 29 with doors opening at 7:30 p.m. and the play starting at 8 p.m. sharp.

Saturday, May 30 the 100 Mile Performing Arts Society will stage the play Love Letters with doors opening at 12:30 p.m. and the play starting at 1 p.m. sharp.

Saturday, May 30 the Studio Theatre’s recast production of Still Stands the House will be on stage at 8 p.m. sharp with doors opening at 7:30 p.m.

“Still Stands the House will have a brand new look, so even if you saw it before, it will be new.

There are two new actors, a different set and a different set up,” Hilyer says.

“Come see it again.

Come help us celebrate the final event of what has been a wonderful 60th season.”

The public is also invited to attend the coffee critiques.

“The cast and crew of each play meets with the adjudicator for two hours after their play or the next morning, called Coffee Critique,” says Studio Theatre producer Mary Jo Hilyer. “The public is also welcome to that event, especially if they saw the play.

It is neat to hear how the adjudicator saw the play.”

The coffee critiques will be from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday May 3, and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on May 30 at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre (old firehall); then on May 31 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Studio Theatre.

Nature Centre depends on volunteers Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The success of Scout Island Nature Centre depends on volunteers and a great deal of community support.

In 2014 volunteers contributed 3,678 hours of time on various projects which equates to a monetary value of $99,408, the Williams Lake Field Naturalists say in their annual report released last month during the annual fundraising banquet.

Materials donated, including City of Williams Lake contributions, totalled $14,238.

In-kind donations of time and materials for trail upgrades and enhancement of wildlife habitat was equal to $26,592.

This weekend another fundraising event is coming up for the Scout Island Nature Centre, the much anticipated annual spring yard and garden sale.

This event will be held at the nature centre Saturday, May 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be interesting house and garden plants, bird houses, household treasures, sporting and outdoor equipment as well as garden items for sale.

The event raises funds for a student bursary.

The total revenue collected for operating the nature centre programs in 2014 totalled $188,338.16.

Funds are received in the form of program fees, a gaming grant, donations from various supporters and partners such as the Nature Trust of B.C., United Way, Cariboo Foundation, federal summer student grant, School District 27, Lioness Club, TELUS, Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Rotary Club, Pinnacle Renewable Energy, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, City of Williams Lake, Cariboo Regional District, TD Friends of the Environment, indi-

With a little help from Williams Lake Field Naturalist Cathy Koot (right) presenter Brioni Penn gets her slide show set up for her presentation at the naturalists annual fundraising banquet.

Penn talked about her ancestors, the Drummond family who homesteaded at Riske Creek, her time spent in the Chilcotin, and about how she came to write her book about Naturalist/zoologist Ian McTaggart Cowan who performed landmark biological surveys in the Chilcotin during the 1930s. Her book, The Real Thing: The Natural History of Ian McTaggart Cowan is scheduled for release this month. vidual donations and more.

The complete budget including reports on all the programs and upgrades completed in 2014 is available at the nature centre.

The directors and members of the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have met the challenge of managing Scout Island Nature Centre since 1978.

Through their volunteer efforts, programs and materials are developed, staff hired and trained, funds raised, trails repaired, buildings and infrastructure improved, weeds pulled, boardwalks built, bird boxes installed, native plant display plot maintained and much more, the report states.

The naturalists provide nature focused education programs for preschoolers, school students, families and the general public.

They also recruit a wide variety of expert speakers for public talks at the nature centre.

This year the plan is to have three full-time summer staff and one to two high school students working at the centre.

Paula Laita, Mary Forbes and Sue Hemphill will continue sharing the fun of teaching classes and the society hopes to extend its Art in Nature and Nature in Art programs so that there are some art programs just for adults.

As well, the Healthy by Nature

movement will continue.

The naturalists are also in talks with SD27 to create a naturebased Kindergarten which would operate out of the current preschool space in the basement of the nature house.

The naturalists plan to continue their work in supporting teachers in developing high school outdoor education programs and clubs that participate in stewardship and field trips for students including overnight adventures in the wilderness areas of the region.

Naturalists also lead field trips into the wilderness to view birds, wildlife and beautiful places to see around the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Seedy Saturday returns this weekend The community is invited to kick off the gardening season in the Cariboo-Chilcotin this Saturday at the seventh annual Seedy Saturday and Cariboo Growers’ Fifth Birthday Celebration.

Another early hotel with a colourful history was the Maple Leaf Hotel.

It began life in 1920 as the Grand Central, built by William Smith (who was also half owner of the Log CabinHotel) and his brother, George.

They first built a small boarding house on the corner of First Avenue and Borland Street where the parking lot above the Potato House is today, and lived in it while the new hotel was under construction.

They also rented out rooms, which helped to pay the expenses.

The Grand Central was built where the Caribou Ski Source for Sports store is currently located, but facing on to Oliver Street. Shortly

The Maple Leaf Hotel has a storied past in Williams Lake. after the hotel was completed, the brothers parted company and the hotel and boarding house were sold to Edward Weyneberg and his wife, who had been operating a cafe at 150 Mile House.

The Weynebergs applied for, and received, the first beer licence in town and converted the boarding house into the first beer parlour.

The place was an instant success.

In 1928, Charles and Laura Moxon bought the hotel. They felt the access would be better if it were facing onto First Avenue, so they hired workers to jack

the 12-room structure up, and using a team of horses, it was turned 90 degrees.

They also changed the name to the Maple Leaf, since Grand Central Hotel sounded a little too pretentious, it being neither grand nor central.

The Moxons ran a family-type hotel. They had three children going to school, and wanted as normal a life as possible for them. Thus, the Maple Leaf did not sell liquor, and ladies of the evening frequented the town’s other lodging establishments.

Families coming in from Horsefly, Likely

and the Chilcotin would stay at the Maple Leaf.

Mothers waiting to be admitted to the hospital to have their babies could be seen knitting and crocheting in the lobby, or reading books which Mrs. Moxon had obtained for the place.

The large book case served to separate the ladies on one side of the lobby from the gentlemen and their smoking/ cards room on the other.

There was a piano there, as well, and Mrs. Moxon would frequently play music and lead the patrons in song.

It was a very respectable and well-managed place, not at all like some

of the other lodging places/saloons in town.

In 1945, Benny Abbott purchased the hotel. He was a colourful character, a wise-cracking community booster.

In short order, he applied for a liquor licence and converted the lobby to a drinking establishment, although in those days, women and escorts were kept separate from the men’s side.

Gradually, the pub earned a reputation as a pretty wild place, especially at Stampede time.

The story is told that during the 1949 Stampede, Riske Creek rancher Mickey Martin, thirsty after a hot day at the rodeo, rode his prized Apaloosa stallion right into the Maple Leaf beer parlour, dismounted and ordered two beers.

The bartender was noticeably shaken by the appearance of the horse, and pleaded with Mickey to take him outside.

Mickey, however, was adamant. It was hot outside, his horse needed the shade and both he and his mount wanted a beer. It came down to impasse.

Benny Abbott called up the provincial police constable, Bill Broughton, on the phone and explained the problem to him. Const.

Broughton arrived on the scene fairly quickly, took stock of the situation, and sat down with Mickey.

It was some time in the 1960s — no one can quite remember the exact year — when Willie Crosina volunteered at the first ever Williams Lake High School Rodeo.

Crosina was a bull fighter then, when the rodeo was held in McLeese Lake.

Today, 45-plus years later and at 90 years of age, Crosina's missed just one year of the event and is a fixture in the announcer's booth.

"I missed just one and that was because I was sick," he said with his trademark smile. "I do remember the first one. I was there, and I wasn't a contestant."

He quietly asked him “How old is your horse, Mickey?”

Martin proudly replied the horse was five years old.

Const. Broughton then pointed to a sign that stated: no drinks would be served to anyone under the age of 21 and said, “Well, Mickey. You really wouldn’t like your friends to think that you were riding a 21-year-old crock, would you?”

Mickey scratched his head and drawled, “Gosh, Bill, I never thought of that,” then remounted his horse and rode out of the pub.

hotel was sold to the Kohnke brothers, who were also local characters of note, and professional wrestlers, as well.

Bill, the older brother, wrestled in 170 matches as Billy Kohnke or “The Mask” in Canada and the U.S. between 1934 and 1957.

Felix, who went by the names of “The Cariboo kid” or “Krusher Larson” competed in 384 matches between 1948 and 1965 in Canada, the U.S. and England.

In the late 50s and early 60s both men were very active in town affairs, being involved with the Chamber of Commerce, the Cariboo Shrine Club and the town council.

Felix was even the Liberal candidate for

the federal election in 1957. In June of 1958 they organized a huge wrestling match to raise funds for a new library in town.

Felix, as the Cariboo Kid, was the star attraction.

More than $1,200, a significant sum in those days, was raised — enough to put the fundraising efforts

over the top and establish the town’s first library.

After the Kohnkes sold out, the Maple Leaf went through a series of owners.

It was a well-known drinking establishment during the boom years of the 1960s.

Right up until it burned to the ground in 1977, it still had

the separate entrances for “men” and for “ladies and escorts,” an impressive collection of stuffed and mounted animal heads adorning the walls, and was a wellknown fixture in the town’s night life scene.

There was a full house at the St. Andrew's United Church hall for the Williams Lake Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists' annual Spin-In on Saturday, May 2. Visitors came from around the region and the Okanagan to practice and share information about their craft, enjoy spinning together and purchase supplies provided by five material vendors.

Eight steps to a xeriscape garden Xeriscaping is the process of choosing plants which are compatible with the water conditions of a given area. Applying xeriscape principles to the landscape not only cuts down on water usage but allows you to still enjoy a beautiful, lowmaintenance yard and garden. It doesn’t get much better than that!

With a very dry summer forecast for the 2015 season, here are eight basic steps to get you started: 1.) Planning and Design: The first step

is to sketch out the yard area you want to xeriscape, and assess areas for sun, shade and natural moisture so that you can plan plantings appropriately.

2.) Improve the Soil.

In our region, we tend to have either heavy clay or sandy soils, both of which need to have organic matter added to improve soil structure. Consider adding compost, aged manure or leaf mold.

3.) Water Wise Lawns. Minimize your overall lawn area and choose drought hardy

grass species. Or let your lawn follow the natural weather cycles and allow it to ‘go gold’ for the summer, greening again with fall rains.

4.) Water Efficiently and Appropriately.

Xeriscaped gardens prefer deeper, less-frequent watering. Use soaker hoses and drip lines as much as possible; place lawns away from water-needy trees, and avoid sprinklers that throw water high into the air; water early in the morning or later at night; and don’t water when it is windy or raining.

5.) Select Plants Appropriate for the Climate and Group According to Water Needs. Most of our local garden centres now carry ‘droughthardy’ plants. Not only do they need much less water, they also tend to start earlier in the spring and last longer into the fall.

Group plants together according to their water requirements, so you can keep higher water users together and plant these in areas where there may be natural water drainage.

6.) Mulch to Reduce Evaporation. This also cools the roots of your plants, reduces weed growth, slows erosion,

and ‘finishes’ your garden. Mulch is your gardening ally, and as it breaks down will also improve the soil. There are many things you can use as mulch, such as straw, wood chips, leaves, grass clippings and compost. Mulch 7-10 cm deep, keep it away from tree base and plant stems and top up regularly.

7.) Rain Barrel.

Even a xeriscape garden will need water in times of prolonged drought.

Reduce your use of our limited town drinking water supply by collecting water in rain barrels for use in your garden.

8.) Maintenance. No garden is maintenance free, and although xeriscape maintenance chores are much like any other garden, you will find it takes significantly less time to keep things looking good.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening!

Seniors centre musical groups look to build numbers Pat Cassidy Smart 55

The NHL playoffs are on and the series between the Vancouver Canucks and the Calgary Flames was really quite a letdown.

Instead of playing hockey, it seems the name of the game was to see who could slash, poke and maim the opponent without being caught.

Let’s go on to something more soothing to our sensibilities — music! Here at the Seniors Activity Centre there are two music groups.

The Cariboo Senior Carollers, under the direction of Sherry Taylor, meet every Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

This group is trying to build up their numbers. With only 10 members singing in parts it is quite a challenge when two or more members are absent.

Also, they need a pianist. Anyone who enjoys singing would

be welcomed.

The other group, under the direction of Cat Prevette, also meets on Friday from 9 until 10:30 a.m.

They call themselves the Elderberry Jam. This is more a singalong choir with some members playing different musical instruments. So, if you can play any string or percussion instruments they will love to have you join their

Area families can learn practical techniques for living with those changes during a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Understanding Behaviour runs on Wednesday, May 13 and offers practical strategies for dealing with the challenges of supporting a person with dementia at home.

"Caregivers will learn how to understand behaviour as a form of communication," says Jan Robson, provincial co-ordinator for the society. "We will explore strategies to determine what the person with dementia might be trying to communicate, to find ways to decrease the occurrence of behaviours that concern us and to respond in supportive ways."

United Rentals claims ladies indoor crown After regulation solved nothing, the Williams Lake Ladies Indoor Soccer League final between United Rentals and Windsor Plywood needed a shootout to settle the score.

There, United Rentals’ Cora Kelly buried her shot in the second round of the shootout to help her team claim the title in a 4-3 win in the contest, held April 26 at

the Lake City secondary Williams Lake Campus gym.

Both teams scored within the first minute, before Windsor took a 3-1 lead with goals from Kelsey Callander, Lindsay Thiessen and Carrie Kerley.

United Rentals responded, however, as Chelann Davis notched her second of the game, before Kelly scored the

tying marker.

Both netminders, Windsor’s Trina Halfnights and United Rentals’ Jeannie Garrard, were outstanding in the match.

United Rentals’ win solidified their spot as the team to beat in the league after also winning the regular season championship with 18 wins, two ties and two losses.

In the recreational division Alkali — after a 19-win, three-tie and one-loss regular season — won the championship over Total Ice.

Horsin’ Around a weekend of equine fun Two days of equine-themed events drew centre stage last weekend during Eagle View Equestrian Centre’s annual Horsin’ Around in the Cariboo.

Saturday featured reining demonstrations, barrel racing and pole bending, before events wrapped up Sunday with jumping demonstrations, a hoof ‘n’ woof and an extreme trail showcase.

This year’s open barrel racing championship went to Danaya Rankin. The junior winner was Amy Hume, the peewee winner was Ivy McKay and the senior winner was Lori Rankin.

In the hoof ‘n’ woof the winners were Bridget Rosette (riding Squirt the horse) and Melisa Rosette handling Sandy, the dog.

Demonstrations were conducted by the Williams Lake Reiners and Gerda

In total, 68 participants took part in the barrel racing portion of the weekend, however, the big hit was EVEC’s unveiling of new plans to create an outdoor playground for riding.

Williams Lake AEROBICS FOR THE HEART Over 20 years of research has shown that aerobic exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health and well-being. Aerobic exercise improves the efficiency of the heart, lungs and blood vessels as well as the efficiency of the metabolic enzymes that regulate the conversion of stored energy in muscle cells.

Oxygen can only be supplied to the muscles through the red blood cells.

When muscles are being used in exercise, the heart must pump more blood through the body to supply the extra need for oxygen.

A good measure on the efficiency of the heart and lungs is how fast your heart rate drops back down to a resting pace after exercise. Take your heart rate right after you stop exercising and then take it again in 10 minutes. You will notice that the more fit you are the faster your heart rate drops back down.

A physically fit person has greater ability to tolerate the physical challenges of daily life, whereas an unfit person would terminate activity because of fatigue.
