Worker locates injured man at Sugar Cane Williams Lake RCMP are investigating after an injured man was discovered early Monday at Sugar Cane.

At roughly 9 a.m. an individual from a work crew located an in-

jured male in a wooded area adjacent to the Williams Lake Indian Band’s Sugar Cane Reserve.

The 34-year-old man was suffering from a wound to his leg and was unable to walk.

The individual is not co-operating with police at this time so it is unknown if the injury to the man’s leg is an accidental or intentional injury.

Police are continuing to inves-

tigate, but are asking anyone who may have any information regarding this incident, to please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477(tips).

NEWS West Fraser celebrates 60th anniversary Sept. 12 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer West Fraser’s two divisions in Williams Lake are celebrating the company’s 60th anniversary with a community event.

On Saturday, Sept. 12 the company will host a full afternoon of activities for the whole family at the Cariboo Memorial Complex and Boitanio Park.

“It will be an opportunity to celebrate with our employees and the community,” said plywood plant manager Dave Walgren and sawmill manager Jordan Townsend.

Presently there are 175 employees working in the sawmill and 350 working at the plywood plant in Williams Lake.

The anniversary celebration will feature

exhibits with tools of the trade and the company’s history, mill tour videos, a bouncy castle, obstacle course, face painting, and a balloon twister. There will also be entertainment with performances by Al Giddens, John Goodwin, the Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddlers and the Williams Lake Pipe Band.

A complimentary BBQ, a sponsored family swim from 1:30-5 p.m., a sponsored family skate from 12:15-1:45 p.m. on Rink 2, and complimentary cupcakes in the park from 12-4 p.m. will also be part of the celebration.

Throughout the company different celebrations are being planned in different communities, Walgren said.

West Fraser first started in Quesnel in

1955 with the purchase of Two Mile Planer. In 1957 West Fraser purchased a sawmill and planer from Wright Lumber Co. in Williams Lake which tied into their plans for harvesting operations in an area west of the Fraser River in the Chilcotin.

On May 15, 1958 the name was changed to West Fraser to reflect the operations it had west of the Fraser River.

“So while the company originated in Quesnel, the name of the company originated in Williams Lake,” Walgren added. “Then in 2005 we bought Welwood and the plywood plant came with that.”

On Sept. 15 and 16, West Fraser will be holding mill tours at the sawmill and the plywood plant as well.

Forest minister hears concerns LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Predator management, timber supply, and human-caused fires were some of the discussions local stakeholders had with Steve Thomson, B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations when he visited the Cariboo-Chilcotin last week.

Accompanied by Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Thomson met with representatives of Williams Lake City Council, Cariboo Regional District, West Fraser, Tolko and local union representatives. He traveled to Redstone to meet with ranchers, and was also meeting with stakeholders in Lac La Hache and 100 Mile House.

Thomson said the top topics have been cur-

“It’s very important for us to get out in the communities and engage with them directly,” Thomson said. “Looking at maps and reading reports is fine, but this is the best way to stay connected.”

He added that another goal is to continue working with industry, communities and First Nations to mitigate the

impact of the pine beetle infestation.

“A major focus right now is policy to get full use of fibre. We’re still leaving too much in the bush,” he explained.

“We expect the Forest Fibre Report to be out early September.

“We’re also working through ongoing partnerships and relationships with First Nation in terms of the certainty of land base for all operations.”

Rancher issues with predators are also a main concern.

“We have taken some

steps to help with predator control, such as adjusted bag limits and seasons around wolves and we have a compensation program in place but we know that’s not the way to approach it,” Thomson said. “Compensation is short-term and it doesn’t cover losses: we need to look at other tools.”

He said that the top issue now is forest fires.

“Our B.C. wildfire fighters have faced tremendous challenges and we owe them a big thank you,” Thomson said.

“We want to reduce

RCMP said the driver of the semi-tractor trailer was uninjured.

“The semi-tractor trailer was empty at the time of the collision and there were no immediate environmental or public safety concerns,” Shearer said.

Alcohol has been ruled out in the investigation into what caused the incident.

“Charges pursuant to the motor vehicle act are being considered against the driver of the pickup truck and semi-tractor trailer,” he said.

Following the collision, Highway 97 was closed for several hours.

Mount Polley works toward full recovery LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor If everything goes according to plan Mount Polley Mine will be back in full operation by the spring of 2016 say mine officials.

That was the goal relayed during a series of meetings held in the region last week to update the public on the status of restoration efforts after the mine’s disastrous tailings pond breach last summer.

“The best question we’ve been asked so far is when we can get all the workers back to work,” said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals corporate affairs vice-president during a public meeting held at the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake, Wednesday, Aug. 19.

“The people who have supported us so much through all this are the dedicated employees,” Robertson said. “They’ve shown so much heart and soul and we need to get them back as soon as possible. The best way we can give back is to

give them long-term, stable jobs.”

Lyn Anglin, chief scientific officer for Imperial Metals and Lee Nikl the senior environmental scientist with Golder Associates (consultants for Imperial Metals) took the audience through a power point presentation and along with Robertson, answered questions and addressed concerns from the audience.

The presentation focused on remediation work including wood debris cleanup, new

channels established, bridge replacement and road improvement, and ongoing monitoring of aquatic life in collaboration with other agencies, including First Nations groups and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

The Mount Polley team reported that the breach has been repaired and that a lot of buttressing has been done to shore up the outside perimeter of the tailings pond.

Nikl talked about a current permit the mine has submitted for a short-term water discharge solution. He explained that when precipitation exceeds evaporation, the extra water needs to be managed.

“Rain and snow that falls on mine rock and soil builds up, and the mine wants to keep that water on site and manage it,” Nikl said, adding that they have applied for a shortterm effluent permit.

“We have to do something,” Nikl said.

“If we start discharging in October, we can maintain it; if not it

will start to seep out and eventually flow out across the top.

What we want to do is set up a Veolia Actiflo system for treating the water, which is used by a number of mines in Canada.”

The cost of the treatment system is more than $1 million dollars, Anglin said. It would be placed next to the tailings impoundment area and the effluent would be piped safely into Quesnel Lake. She added that the effluent would be treated before discharge and that the mine’s untreated effluent consistently tests as non-toxic. She assured the audience that effluent is not tailings.

“This is water that has contact with mine rock and soil and is collected on site,” Anglin explained. “We’ll treat it and discharge it according to regulations.”

A detailed engineering design for the water treatment system is complete, the system has been ordered and will arrive soon, the pipes for releasing the effluent have been de-

livered and the mine is waiting for word on the permit, which Anglin said is expected soon.

Besides dealing with a short-term solution for the excess water issue, a long-term solution for getting up and running at full capacity is being developed, Anglin added.

“We hope to have the short-term water discharge operation in place by Oct. 15, and our vision is to return to full operation by spring 2016,” Anglin continued.

Before the breach there were 370 employees at the mine, and 183 employees are currently on the job; there are some openings at present and some training opportunities available, Anglin said, adding that ongoing permits will determine when the rest of the mine employees will be called back to work.

Anglin, Nikl and Robertson all said how impressed they have been with the dedicated work force at Mount Polley to do the restoration and rebuilding so well and so fast.

Robertson said that the community meetings have gone well, that people seemed to feel that their questions were answered and their concerns addressed.

“The president of Imperial Metals is dedicated to making sure that local communities are fully involved in plans as we move forward,” Robertson said.

Public meetings took place in Likely, at Xat’sull Heritage Village, and after the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake, continued in Quesnel.

Robertson said the meeting at the Xat’sull Heritage Village was fantastic.

“We had a tour of the site with one of the elders, focusing on their history and heritage,” Robertson said, adding that it was a good conversation with very intelligent questions — exactly what they look forward to in community input meetings.

Six walkers and two pilot cars arrived at Sugarcane last Thursday evening on a walk across western Canada bringing awareness to missing and murdered First Nations men and women. Local residents greeted them with food, drumming and singing.

Retirement Calls

Walking for the murdered and missing A warm welcome was in place on Thursday for a group of First Nations walkers who made their way from Norway House and Winnipeg, Manitoba, across Saskatchewan and Alberta to Williams Lake en route to Prince Rupert.

The walk is for missing and murdered Aboriginal women and men: raising awareness and calling for justice.

The group of six walkers and two patrol vehicles stopped at the Chief Will-Yum gas station and were greeted with food, drumming and singing and a chance to share their stories.

Chief Ann Louie

of the Williams Lake Indian Band housed them for the night and fed them breakfast before seeing them on the way to Quesnel.

Leaders and members of the Alkali Lake, Canim Lake, Williams Lake, Canoe Creek, Soda Creek and Chilcotin Indian Bands participated in the event, and fuel for their vehicles was provided by the Chief Will-Yum gas station.

Walkers from Norway House started in late July, and after being joined by other walkers in Winnipeg, headed across western Canada on Aug. 3.

“The reason behind this walk is very personal to me, and to many of us here — we have lost family members to murder,” Chief Louie said.

“We have murders and people gone missing that remain unsolved ­— people from Bella Coola, Williams Lake Indian Band, Soda Creek and Alkali Lake and more.

“They estimate 1,800 murdered and missing woman, but there are also many missing men,” Louie said.

“We have cousins, sons and fathers murdered and missing — some resolved and some not.

hings change every day and life goes on, but I had a hard time saying goodbye to Pat Skoblanuik, who retired last week after 20 years managing the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Pat and I worked closely for all those years as I was the museum’s “curator” for most of them.

I use quotation marks because the only qualification I had for the curator department was enthusiasm. Pat and I did a lot of reading and consulting experts but she kept everything on track.

Next year is the museum’s 25th anniversary in its current location. I hope Pat can come back to help celebrate because she contributed so much to the operation. *** French A federal govConnection ernment employee Diana French has come up with an alternative to the federal election’s negative advertising. In response to his church’s Social Justice Committee’s concerns over some government policies, Tony Turner wrote the song, “Harperman.” He and a backup group made a video of the ditty (performed with great gusto) and it got onto Facebook.

Mr. Turner is a scientist with the federal Environment Ministry and when his bosses heard the song they suspended him from his job and began an investigation. When that news became public the video went viral on the social media.

Two different issues here. First, does a public servant have the right to take a poke at the party in power? Second, if all the political parties delivered their messages in song, it would not only bring some joy to election campaigns, more people would pay attention, and more might even bother to vote.

The negative ads don’t always work. Justin Trudeau countered the CPC’s “not ready” ad by saying what he’s not ready for is Conservative policies. Surely the Conservatives can come up with something catchy to counter Harperman. The other parties must have some musical supporters (not public servants) to get them into the swing of things.

As for Mr. Turner, let’s hope the song doesn’t count as a terrorist act under Bill C-51.

Our Viewpoint

Policy at the core Turn on your TV and change it to a news channel, open a paper, or check the internet.

It’s a policy blizzard out there.

In fact, we’d have trouble keeping up if we were covering nothing but announcements from the three major political parties.

While the United States is suffering through a bizarre Republican primary that is light on issues and heavy on Trump, Canada is a policy wonk’s dream.

Just in the past week or so, we’ve seen the major party leaders make promises on senate reform, old age security, northern defense, business taxes, even home renovation tax credits.

You could criticize some of these announcements. Many of them are on the small scale side of things.

We’ve called for a debate on big issues — things like global warming, but we could as easily have said health care or the role of Canada’s military, post-secondary education, veterans and the future of our economy.

So far, we haven’t seen too much discus-

sion of those big issues. But the party leaders have a long road ahead of them, and they have to save some ammunition for September and October, when everyone’s back from summer getaways and can really get down to paying attention to the news again.

Right now, we’re actually pleased that, at the very least, there are issues on the table.

Not all of these issues are minor, either — when Harper talks about expanding the Junior Canadian Rangers, or Mulcair wants to return Old Age Security to 65 from 67 years, those are both indications of significant priorities for their potential governments.

We’re in the middle of a long, long campaign. The leaders could have been excused for stretching things out, going to rallies, and not saying much.

Instead, we’ve actually seen a lot of talk about how things would go under Trudeau, Harper, and Mulcair. It may be a little piecemeal right now, but it could be worse.

We could be talking about Donald Trump.

f there is a single tangible gift that one generation can pass to another — it would be an education.

B.C. has a world-class education system and our students consistently rank among the best in the world.

I am proud of B.C.’s education system, but part of maintaining a great system is finding ways to improve it. That means finding new, innovative approaches that lead to better results for students.

It all starts with our youngest children. Our government supports a variety of early-learning initiatives to ensure our youngest learners have every opportunity to achieve their best.

Additionally, we have opportunities for adult learners who want to upgrade their courses at institutions such as at the College of New Caledonia, or take a trade and industry program, for example.

In rural areas MLA such as Cariboo Musings North, our natural resource sector is Coralee Oakes the reason we have such a high demand for trade opportunities. By continuing to work together, we will ensure British Columbians have access to the training they need to get highpaying, family-supporting jobs and participate in our strong, growing and diverse economy.

One of the other exciting things post-secondary students can be excited about, is B.C. is expanding our free online textbooks through BC Campus, which means more money in students’ pockets. Currently there are 98 open textbooks available online. By Sept. 30, there is expected to be 144 books available. By the end of fall, there will be 150 books in the collection — which will include 53 in skills and trades.

However, no education system can be successful without high-quality administrators and teachers — and in B.C. we are fortunate to have the best of both.

Our government is committed to creating a better future for all British Columbians. Part of this is making sure students and families are informed and supported in making the right decisions for a secure, prosperous future.

I would like to wish all those working towards a new career or are going back to school — the best of luck in their future endeavors. I hope you take the time to evaluate the many options that there are out there and feel free to visit: www.workbc.ca.

The future is yours to discover.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction and the Minister Responsible for the Liquor Distribution Branch.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent/wasted over the years on numerous consulting fees, stop-gap measures, etc. with no progress to date. We now learn that MOTI plans to hire yet another engineering firm to evaluate

the situation and that this process will take two years. The new project manager on site is from the Kamloops office and whose actions to date do not instil confidence in the project going forward.

We reluctantly sold land at the site to MOTI in early 2012 so they could work on a speedy remedy.

We had concerns at the time and MOTI confirmed “…we are committed to working with you during the planning, design and construction phase of the project such that any concerns you may have are considered and addressed to the best of all parties satisfaction.”

We remain very unsatisfied.

A major concern is the continual build-up of gravel on the downside of the road.

Every year we request this problem be dealt with and contained but as culverts become plugged, more

are installed over a wider expanse having the opposite effect for containment. There now exists a huge delta of gravel and debris. The once defined flow of Choate Creek into Beaver Creek has been non-existent for many years and is not a priority for MOTI or DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans), a disastrous result for fish habitat.

Another concern that is never addressed is the yearly erosion of soil and fields. Gravel deposits and uncontrolled water flow have resulted in the loss of productive hay land and rendered fences useless.

In discussions with the powers that be, any meaningful solutions to this saga are a long way off and we can be assured of many more episodes of the gong show.

Climate change most important Editor: The most important problem facing every human on the planet is climate change.

The cause of climate change is global warming.

The root cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels.

Any time a pollutant is removed from the environment nature naturally restores balance to it.

Accepting a two per cent increase in the global temperature, may be an acceptable way to deal with the problem of global warming but when you factor in the affect of climate change it isn’t.

It’s easy to see what affect letting the whole mass of air surrounding the planet, increase by two per cent

will have on climate change.

The problems each contribute in turn to one another.

Every day, the majority of people on the planet go to work and are adding to the problem.

A very small percentage of people do not burn any fossil fuels in a day.

For the problem of climate change to be slowed to a stop and given the ability to reverse the affects that are continuing to occur, this trend needs to be reversed.

If given the choice between contributing to global warming, and not doing so, the choice seems simple enough. However, there needs to be people who are leading with that vision.

The best tool to use for remov-

ing greenhouse gases and carbon emissions from the air, is the environment itself because the trees and other plants filter it from the constantly changing air currents.

The population and infrastructure of the country is not as much of a barrier to making the changes needed to solve this global problem as people think, since the problem affects everyone and all of the environment on the planet, equally. It is what it is.

The only barrier that does exist, is choosing to not work on the solution or to not lead people in a way that does.

And Anyone can do that.

NEWS Honour to support First Nation walkers Continued From Page A5 Keesie said they faced some challenges along the way. “In Saskatchewan we had two days of pouring rain, and in Jasper it was pretty cold camping.

“Some drivers honk and wave and give us space for safety, and some don’t,” Keesie said.

“We have some drivers who just speed by and make it quite scary.

Most places where we go, people have been nice, but in B.C. people have been great and we’ve had lots of support,” he said. “My mom is

so proud that I did this walk.”

Althea Guivoche from Winnipeg, Man. is an advocator for the homeless, and started working for the murdered and missing.

“My friend and I started the ‘angry butterfly’ project in Winnipeg,” Guivoche said. “We’re tired of being nice, tired of asking, ‘Please, can we live?’

“I’m all about awareness and justice and indifference toward the missing and murdered. That’s why I’m on this walk,” Guivoche said.

She is one of two walkers on crutches.

“While jogging on the highway

in Alberta, a very windy day, a semi-truck roared by and didn’t pull over,” Guivoche said. “I was carrying my big Manitoba flag and he gusted me off the incline; I twisted my foot and broke off a piece of bone in my ankle. They told me I couldn’t walk for two or three weeks. But here I am.”

Brenda Osborne organized the walk and started from Norway House, Man. “We do walks in Manitoba all the time, but this is the longest I’ve done,” Osborne said.

“We’ve done 80-140km a day,” Osborne explained. “We are not

athletes; we are just parents who love our kids.”

Her brother, who did the walk with her from Norway House, was also blown off the side of the road by a semi-truck and is on crutches with a twisted knee.

She said that walking for the missing and murdered is close to her and her family, stating that they lost a beloved cousin.

“Still today I still wait for her to come home: she used to babysit me,” Osborne said. “ I also lost an aunt and uncle and another cousin, and closer still is my daughter who went missing in 2008.”

Chief Louie said that people dying tragically is bad enough, but to have no answers is worse.

“It’s really tough. I also have a cousin who went missing on the lake and was never found,” Louie said. “You can’t find closure. The silence that occurs with that kind of thing is the worst. I always say, ‘What if it’s your family?’

“I’m honoured and proud to receive these people in our community,” Louie said.

“They’ve made great sacrifices, and given great work and effort to this cause. It’s very meaningful what they’re doing.”

Animal chiropractor brings hands-on help for horses LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Being a veterinarian was a dream from childhood for Williams Lake veterinarian Stefanie Krumsiek.

After graduating from the Veterinary Chiropractic Learning Centre in Brantford, Ont., Krumsiek now brings another set of internationally certified skills to the table.

She said that as a veterinarian she learned the anatomy of livestock, pets and birds and is certified to work on all animals, adding that the focus of the chiropractic course was mainly dogs and horses.

One of the main reasons she wanted to take the course was because of a severe riding accident she sustained when she was 16 years old. “I injured my skull and my cervical spine and in the end, besides hospitalization and being bedridden for about two months, I started having tingling and sensation changes in my fingers,” she explained. “I looked for some alternative treatment options to help me during my rehab process, including chiropractic. It was one of the things that helped me recover.

I could really feel the difference.

“I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian, but after that I knew I also wanted to be able to offer my patients the same kind of treatment that helped me.”

Attending vet school and working in Vienna, she said she saw various alternative treatments used for animals, such as chiropractic, physio therapy, equine massage and acupuncture.

“No matter where you work, it’s all about the animals, big or small.

In the end, the animals are all the same and that’s what counts. Animals are animals and they get sick, or they need maintenance care,” she added. “There are people who work with their animals as partners and people whose animals are family members and friends.”

Her chiropractic assessments and treatments, for mainly horses and dogs, are done both at the Williams Lake Veterinarian Hospital and on site. Sometimes, she said, there is a list of horses for her to see in one area, and the owners all bring their animals to one farm or ranch.

She explained that when she sees a horse or a dog the first thing she does is get a history from the owner. “Was there an accident? How is the animal used: as a companion or a working animal? I ask about specific injuries and conditions which can be common depending on what they do for a life,” she said.

“Next is a visual assessment; I

fit right, she said, or an injury. “A horse used for roping, for example, goes very fast for a short distance and does very rapid turns and stops, which can put a lot of pressure on the sacroiliac joint,” she continued.

When doing a chiropractic adjustment, she checks the muscle mobilization first and said she can tell what hurts. “You can feel resistance; if an animal finds it painful they will let you know. If it’s a dog they may try to bite you; if it’s a horse they may try to kick you,” she noted. “When I do the stretches and there’s resistance, it’s due to pain or constriction.”

Relief from a chiropractic treatment can be almost immediate.

“You can tell when it feels better while you’re working on them: when the adjustment is done you can see the animal relax. You can see the breathing pattern change; when a horse relaxes they drop their head and they drop their lower lip; some of them stand like that, looking like they’re half-sedated just from the relief. That’s an awesome feeling — when you see that the animal is actually enjoying it,” she said.

“My biggest satisfaction is when they come for the second or third treatment and they greet me like they really love to see me.”

Signal Point Gaming is hosting a show of work by German artist Claudia WagnerSchwarting Sept. 3 through 7.

Claudia is an up-and-coming artist based out of South-East Germany with a self-admitted addiction to beautiful British Columbia.

During her many visits to the area, local fans of her work have won-out and were able to get this incredible, selftaught artist back to B.C. to show her work where it can be appreciated in person.

Claudia specializes in pastels, both soft and pencil, and charcoal. Her work has been described: “as though the image was breathing before your eyes.”

There is no entry fee for the show but visitors must be 19 years of age or older.

To prevent a side stitch, take even, deep breaths while running. Shallow breathing tends to increase the risk of cramping because the diaphragm is always slightly raised and never lowers far enough to allow the ligaments to relax. When this happens the diaphragm becomes stressed and a spasm or “stitch” is more likely.

Some other ways to alleviate the pain of a side stitch include: · Slow down your pace until pain lessens. · Time your eating. Having food in your stomach during a workout may increase cramping by creating more force on the ligaments (avoid eating one to two hours before a workout).

Cariboo-Chilcotin filmmaker Trevor Mack is thrilled that his new collaborative film Clouds of Autumn has been selected to play at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.

“It is a dream come true to have my film in one of the biggest film festivals in the world,” Mack says. “My fellow filmmaker friends have always laughed at the thought of our films getting selected to play there because it was such a stretch to think that.

“I’m honoured that I can represent the Tsilhqot’in people on the world stage and be apart of a new wave of Indigenous artists in Canada that are stepping up and telling stories we feel we are obligated to tell the world.”

Mack says he and his fellow filmmaker Matthew Taylor Blais of Kelowna collaborated on writing and directing Clouds of Autumn which was shot over four, 15-hour shooting days at Tl’etinqox

(Anaham) reserve last August. The film stars non-actors from the area including Elias Stump, Trinity Stump and Edmond Lulua.

“It’s great to be able to use cinema to explore certain ideas and elements of this genocide that isn’t as easy to grasp through essays or lectures; to make these effects work on an emotional level,” Blais says. “To have these subtleties be seen, heard, and felt.

It’s very humbling for me to be able to join Trevor on a project like this.”

The film is about the carefree childhood existence of two Indigenous siblings whose lives are ruptured when one of them is forced to attend a residential school far from home.

The film follows William and his older sister Shayl through three summers in the 1970s, exploring the impact Canadian residential schools had on the relationships First Nations children had with themselves, their heritage, and nature itself.

wagged its finger and told the viewers that residential schools were bad,” Mack says.

“In fact we don’t even mention residential schools at all in the film. It’s really just a snapshot of what happened to hundreds of families during the reign of residential schools in Canada.”

Mack says they recently also received word that Clouds of Autumn has also been selected for the Vancouver International Film Festival; the Ottawa International Film Festival; Edmonton International Film Festival; imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival; and the Tacoma Film Festival.

The Toronto International Film Festival takes place Sept. 10 to 20 and Mack says he intends to attend the entire festival.

More than 500 short

films were submitted to the TIFF and only 30 to 40 of them were chosen, Mack says.

Trevor Mack is a Tsilhqot’in Nation filmmaker from Williams Lake and the Tl’etinqox area of B.C. Raised by his mother and family, his culture and upbringing provided a strong foundation for storytelling expressed through his current film work.

Trevor debuted his first short film, The Blanketing, in 2013. It screened across North America and in New Zealand at festivals such as the Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival, Toronto Independent Film Festival, Wairoa Maori Film Festival, and was the official selection at imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.

Clouds of Autumn is his second forthcoming short film.

Matthew Taylor Blais is an experimental filmmaker currently based in Vancouver.

His films are often about the people he loves and the places he is on, and most of his films are available online.

His latest works will premiere in late 2015 and screen around the world. His other films include Clouds of Autumn and the feature documentary Born in the Night.

He currently has multiple projects in various stages of development.

Back in the day, religion played a much more important role in the lives of every day people than it seems to today.

Churches were not only places of worship, but also important social centres for the community, hosting town meetings, fundraising events and social gatherings.

Most of the permanent community members were affiliated with a church and attended regularly.

In the very early days of the town’s life, the Catholics madet h e i r way out to St. Joseph’s Mission for the Sunday celebration of mass.

The Protestants would meet in various locations, sometimes in the PGE Station House, sometimes in the dance hall and sometimes in various stores.

In 1921, the year after the village of Williams Lake was founded, St. Andrews’ Presbyterian Church and manse were constructed on the corner of Second Avenue and Oliver Street (where the present Bank of Commerce now stands).

This church was officially dedicated in 1922 by the new Presbyterian minister, Rev. A.D. MacKinnon. A bell,

which had once been on one of the early PGE locomotives that served Williams Lake and the Cariboo was donated in recognition of the town’s first church.

When the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational churches in Canada joined together in 1925, this local church became St. Andrews’ United Church.

Over the years, the congregation grew, and the original church became too crowded, so in 1953, the church and manse were sold.

A new site, on the corner of Cameron Street and Third Avenue (now a city parking lot across from Marie Sharpe Elementary School) was purchased.

There, a new church hall and parsonage were built, with the intention of adding a worship sanctuary at a later date.

That sanctuary never was built, and the hall became both a place of worship and a meeting centre. It was named MacKinnon Hall in honour of the first minister.

The parsonage still stands today — it is the front part of the present

Youth for Christ building.

On April 9, 1980, an arson fire completely destroyed MacKinnon Hall.

The Anglican congregation immediately offered accommodation and support, and the United Church began holding worship services in their sanctuary on the Sunday following the fire.

By the fall, more space was needed, and permission was granted by the school district to use school gyms for worship and for Sunday School.

Within two years, two acres of land was purchased from B.C. Rail on the edge of town, architects’ drawings were developed and working plans for a new structure were made, and construction of the present St. Andrews’ was begun.

Much of the work was volunteer labour and on Thanksgiving Sunday, 1982, the new church was dedicated.

In keeping with tradition, the large new hall was once again named MacKinnon Hall.

The cast iron bell, which had been gifted to the original St. Andrew's church, had been saved when that church was demolished.

For years, it sat outside the Comer Street location, awaiting the construction of a sanctuary with a bell tower.

In the 1960s it was taken home by a local

tion.

Rev. Resker held his regular Sunday services at the United Church, his evening services at the theatre on Oliver Street, and communion in the rectory and at numerous private homes in the Cariboo and Chilcotin.

In 1928, a new Anglican Church building was constructed.

A lot on the corner of Third Avenue and Oliver Street (where the Empire garden Restaurant is currently located) was purchased from the PGE at a cost of $538.

The new church was designed by John Dexter Smedley, one of the town’s leading citizens and co-owner of Smedley and Sharpe’s Hardware Store.

It cost just over $3,900 to build the new church, with $3,100 of that coming from the proceeds of a couple of Olde English Country Faires organized by the Anglican Church women.

The building measured a whopping 24 feet wide by 40 feet long and was heated by a wood stove.

Its stained glass windows were salvaged from the St. John the Divine Church in Quesnel, and the bell was a gift from Rev. Resker’s home parish in Surrey, England.

This new building was completed and dedicated in the fall of 1928, and by 1931, it had been completely paid for.

A new parish hall was erected next door in 1932, with the foundations being installed by R.A. Leonard, and the construction being done

by Fred Buchholtz and Alex Haller.

businessman and historian, Doug Stevenson, for safekeeping.

After the construction of the new church building, a bell tower was erected and the bell installed.

Out of consideration for the neighbours, however, the bell has never been used at the present location.

It is there as a symbol now of the church’s historical roots in the community.

The first Anglican service in Williams Lake was held in the dance hall above T.A. Moore’s General Store in 1921.

Although the service was Anglican, the congregation included people from several denominations.

Seating consisted of planks supported on crates of canned goods.

Once the Presbyterian church was completed, however, most Anglican services were held there.

In 1926, the first Anglican minister, Rev. Basil Resker, arrived to serve the parish. It was a vast and isolated area, covering an estimated 15,000 square miles.

Roads were little more than widened pack horse trails, which allowed for motor transportation in the summer and horse and sleigh in the winter.

The people of the parish were informed by the Bishop in Kamloops that a vicarage was to be built for Rev. Resker, and that the money was to be raised by the parish.

This was done at the cost of about $1,000, with some of the money coming from an insurance payout after the Anglican church in Quesnel burned down, and the rest from donations from the congrega-

Churches have historic pasts Continued From Page A14

By 1957, the town had crowded in around the site of the church, so it was decided that it should be moved to a new location to allow room to grow and to provide better housing for the minister.

A new site on Carson Drive (where St. Peter's Anglican Church is located today) was purchased from the PGE, and that summer, the church was moved there and a new rectory built on the 2.8-acre site.

This move was very controversial, since the new location was considered to be too far out of town.

In the early 1990s, it became clear that the church was far too small for the size of its congregation.

Thus, in 1993, an expansion project was undertaken.

An addition was made to the original building, with great care being taken to preserve as much historical integrity as possible.

During this construction, ceiling panels were removed from the old church building to reveal beautiful fir beams, trusses and arches.

The original fir flooring was restored and the new flooring matches to it.

The aspect of the building was rotated

180 degrees and new rooms were added to the ground level.

The result was a beautiful new building with a 1920s country church appearance which will serve the community for many years to come.

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church was a relative latecomer to the town.

There had, of course, been a Catholic presence in the area since the early 1840s with the Oblate missionaries and later with the establishment of St. Joseph’s Mission.

For the first 10 years or so of the town’s life, the Mission provided for the spiritual needs of the Catholic people in the region.

However, by 1930, the need for a local parish church in the village had become evident.

Fundraising was carried out, and a lot was purchased on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Yorston Street (where the Yorston medical Clinic is situated today).

Construction was

begun on a new church, and even before it was fully completed, in January of 1931, the first mass was celebrated there.

It was a very cold winter that year, and the parishioners felt that it was much more preferable to meet in a partially-completed building than to travel all the way out to the Mission.

Sacred Heart Church was officially dedicated

by Father Monaghan, O.M.I., on April 12, 1931.

In 1951, a parish hall, named Columbus Hall after the Knights of Columbus, who did much of the fundraising, was completed.

As with the other churches in town, it was a time of rapid growth, and by 1955, the congregation had outgrown its small church, so an interesting interim solution was reached.

Columbus Hall became the church for Sunday masses, but remained as a parish hall at other times.

The church was used as a chapel for smaller

10

gatherings such as baptisms, marriages and funerals.

This arrangement continued until 1966 when the large, modern church building was completed on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Comer Street.

In 1976, Columbus Hall was torn down and the property sold off.

At the current time, Sacred Heart Parish is making plans for its 50th Anniversary celebration of the dedication of its “new” church.

These three churches were the first ones in Williams Lake. They played a large role in the growth of our town and its history.

They also provided a spiritual home to generations of townspeople, and they are still a significant part of the fabric of this community.

My thanks to Dorothy Denny, Stacy Wright and Barb Aquilon for their help on this one.

On the cover Sage Birchwater Smart 55

Jim and Dinah Lulua were recently named “King” and “Queen” for the year by the BC Elders Gathering held in Saanich this past July.

Next year Jim and Dinah will be joined by the Tsilhqot’in Nation and aboriginal communities in the Cariboo Chilcotin Central Coast and Lillooet to host the 40th Annual Elders Gathering in Williams Lake.

Jim and Dinah say they were given the honour of King and Queen because they are role models looking after Dinah’s mother Mabel

Solomon and living a culturally positive lifestyle.

“We speak our own language and follow our culture and traditions,” Jim says. “And look after our 93-year-old mom.”

Dinah says they are role models and don’t do drugs, smoke or use alcohol.

On July 14, 2016 they will hand over their crowns to their successors at the 40th Annual Elders Gathering in Williams Lake. Meanwhile they look forward to an exciting year representing the BC Elders Council at various events across BC and western Canada.

The participants during last year’s 2014 Big Brothers Big Sisters Tour de Cariboo 75-kilometre fundraising ride from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake. This year’s event takes place Sept. 12 beginning with registration at the Cariboo Memorial Complex at 8 a.m.

The ride starts at 9 a.m.

Tour de Cariboo rides into 23rd season New cross country ride optional for this year’s event Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The wheels are in motion for this year’s 23rd Annual Tour de Cariboo.

And, Williams Lake Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Melissa Newberry said there’s still time to sign up for the association’s largest fundraiser of the year, a 75-kilometre bike trek from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake, followed by a day of rest and relaxation.

“We want as many people to register as possible,” Newberry said, noting the 2014 event raised more than $60,000 for the association’s various programs.

“Last year, we raised the most the event’s ever raised.”

Riders, who are asked to collect pledges prior to race day, begin at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex then head out onto Highway 97 before taking the turnoff at the Horsefly/Likely Road.

Support drivers will follow along throughout the route, and there will be rest stops along the way, with a lunch stop for those interested at the Big Lake Store.

“I think the most important thing about the ride is it’s a fun event,” Newberry said. “If you want to be a part of a relay team, you can do that — we’ve got a lot of support along the way.

“You ride within your ability and the distance that suits you.

It’s a race for people who are competitive, but our main thing is it’s a fundraiser, and people are always generous in what they raise.”

Upon arriving at Gavin Lake participants will have access to showers, an outdoor sauna on the shores of Gavin Lake, a massage therapist, Sheila Boehm, and entertainment, so far featuring the

At 4 p.m., a catered dinner will be served.

One twist on this year’s ride will be an optional six-kilometre cross country loop for those interested once they arrive at Gavin Lake.

“Last year we got some feedback we should do something different, so we’ve registered a Strava segment (a biking training mobile app featuring trail maps, and countless statistics),” she said. “Anybody who rides that segment will show up as having ridden it on the app. It’s tailored to all levels of mountain bikers.”

Prizes will also be available for top pledge earners and top race finishers, with the top prize being a catered weekend at Chaunigan Lake in the Chilcotin. Other prize packs include a two-night stay in Bella Coola, plus a family package from Bell-E-Acres, she said.

Barkerville sports day coming up Sept. 7 Does an intense memory of the recent Pan Am and Paralympic Games leave you with a restless pang for international competition?

Then why not whet that appetite by visiting Barkerville Historic Town & Park on Labour Day (Sept. 7)?

The National Historic Site of Canada’s 12th Annual Williams Creek Sports Day and Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest will competitively squeeze out the last drops of summer with one more chance to taste victory — literally and figuratively.

From noon to 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 7, British Columbia’s largest Gold Rush heritage attraction will offer enthusiastic attendees more than a dozen different types of family activities and games, including the Broad Jump, Funny Face contest, CrackerEating Whistle Races, a 10-pound Ham-

At 4:15 p.m., Barkerville’s Goldfield Bakery will present its celebrated annual Pie-Eating Contest, which challenges children and adults from all over the province to compete for the coveted title of “fastest handless pieeater in the West.”

“You haven’t seen gastronomic joy until you’ve seen two dozen kids covered in banana-

cream pie filling,” says Carleigh Drew, Barkerville’s marketing, products and activities officer.

“The Goldfield Bakery Pie Eating Contest is a beloved Barkerville tradition, and we’re confident that this year’s winner will be the fastest ever.”

As a special treat this year, Barkerville’s Chinatown interpretation program is jumping in on the fun. From 3:30 to 4 p.m., nestled between all the games

and desserts, the first life-sized, live-action dramatization of a Chinese Chess game in North American history will take place on the streets of Barkerville. Utilizing a handcrafted chess board of human proportions, Barkerville’s cast of unique historical characters will recount the tale of a great battle between two infamous Chinese armies that serves as the mythology behind the game of Xiangqi (more commonly known as Chinese Chess). Spectators are most welcome, and can expect to learn the rules of the Chinese Chess while witnessing game-play of epic-proportions.

250-392-6211 SCAMS ... Beware of new telephone scams The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is noting an increase in telephone scams where the caller claims to be from the CRA but is not, and is asking Canadians to beware—these calls are fraudulent and could result in identity and financial theft.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

If you get such a call, hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. 1 888-495-8501.

These types of communication are not from the CRA. When the CRA calls you, it has established procedures in place to make sure your personal information is protected. If you want to confirm the authenticity of a CRA telephone number, call the CRA by using the numbers on its Telephone numbers page. The number for business-related calls is 1-800-9595525. The number for calls about individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281.

To help you identify possible scams, use the following guidelines: The CRA: • never requests prepaid credit cards; • never asks for information about your passport, health card, or driver’s licence; • never shares your taxpayer information with another person, unless you have provided the appropriate authorization; and • never leaves personal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a message containing your personal information on an answering machine.

When in doubt, ask yourself the following: • Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling? Do I have a tax balance outstanding?

• Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return?

• Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

• How did the requester get my email address or telephone number?

• Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?

The CRA has strong practices to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information. The confidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, go to www.cra.gc.ca/security.
