Twenty-year-old killed in shooting Angie Mindus Staff Writer One of the city’s most notorious prolific offenders was fatality shot in what police are calling a targeted, gang-related shooting in Williams Lake Wednesday night.

Indi Johnny, 20, died in hospital of a gunshot wound following

a disturbance at a residence in the 1100 block of Second Avenue.

In a news release, RCMP said they received a report at about 7:45 p.m. of shots fired inside the Glendale residence and, at about the same time, received further information that a man had been brought to Cariboo Memorial Hospital suffering from a gunshot

wound.

“Unfortunately despite all emergency medical efforts the man succumbed to his injuries at hospital,” said police.

Tsilhqot’in National Government Chair and Anaham Reserve Chief Joe Alphonse said the victim, a resident of Anaham and Williams Lake, had been the cen-

Ministry investigating leak at Gibraltar Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Ministry of Energy and Mines confirmed it is investigating the surface water collection pond breach that took place

at Gibraltar Mine on March 24.

“As required under the Mines Act, the company has initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the accident,” a ministry spokesperson

confirmed by e-mail.

“Inspectors from the Ministry of Energy and Mines will ensure the investigation is conducted and completed in accordance with the Mines Act and the Health, Safety

and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia.”

The ministry said while it takes all incidents seriously, it’s important to note that the water that was released is not mine pro-

cess water or tailings water from the mine operation.

“Run-off water is collected from ditches and other catchment areas over the mine site, and is fed by rain and other sources.”

Premier announces $75 million dividend fund Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Premier Christy Clark announced a $75 million boost for rural communities with populations less than 25,000 while touring Williams Lake Thursday.

The newly-created BC Rural Dividend will make $25 million a year available for the next three years to help communities with capacity building, and workforce,

community and economic and business sector development.

“Wealth leaves rural communities from mining, forestry and agriculture and doesn’t come back,” Clark said during a press conference held at the Pioneer Log Homes of BC site at Sugar Cane. “This money will help communities cope with uncertain times.”

Driving the creation of the dividend was the

Rural Advisory Council, chaired by CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who said the announcement is timely because it will help communities facing mill closures, the impacts of the pine and spruce beetle and other impediments.

Single applicants can apply for up to $100,000 for community-driven projects and must contribute at least 20 per cent of the total cost.

And partnerships in-

volving more than one eligible applicant can apply for up to $500,000 and must contribute 40 per cent of the total project cost.

Staff have tried to make the application process simple and easy for people to navigate, Barnett said, noting downloadable applications will be available beginning April 4 at www. gov.bc.ca/ruraldividend.

Clark also made a passionate speech dur-

ing the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce monthly lunch meeting. Praising Barnett, Clark said she stands up for rural B.C. “Whether it’s ranching, predator control, forestry or mining, she’s fighting for you guys every other day,” Clark said. “Donna draws a line in the sand and helps us remember we aren’t just about cities.”

Responding to a question posed by a

chamber member, Clark said the B.C.-Tsilhqot’in National Government Reconciliation Framework Agreement sets out a five-year plan on how the two parties will work together.

“It’s a unique set of circumstances,” Clark said. “We have the only declared title lands in Canada and we don’t have a way in place yet for how to talk about the land.”

Leading up to sign-

ing the agreement in February, the meetings involved the TNG and government officials.

Moving forward, the plan is to have broader community involvement.

“We need people working in ranching, forestry, agriculture, etc. to be at the table,” Clark said. “ The agreement will be a model for all future agreements in the future across B.C., she added.

Premier weighs in on violent lakecity crimes Continued From Page A1 Alphonse said he has received calls of support and condolences from Soda Creek Chief Donna Dixon.

Dixon and Alphonse have been trying to work together to stem the escalating gang violence which has put their two communities at odds, seeing ongoing retaliations between rival gangs, the 712s and Indian Outlaws.

“We are going to continue to work together

— we have to come together politically to find a solution. There has been too many losses, we want this to stop.

The centre of this issue is Soda Creek and Anaham and we need to pull all our resources together to work on this. Our youth need to find a better way forward.”

In town Thursday to announce a new rural dividends program, Premier Christy Clark said the shooting was tragic.

“There’s really no

other way to describe it,” Clark said, noting there will be an announcement coming in the next few weeks detailing a government plan to support police efforts to fight gang violence in Williams Lake.

“People need to feel safe, whether you’re in the First Nations communities or not in the First Nations communities … Williams Lake can’t do it on its own and we can’t have gangsters going into jail and coming out again and committing crime,

One of the best ways to improve your health, besides stopping smoking, is to get a good night’s sleep. Seven hours at least is the goal.

Sleep is a time of healing for the body and will help reduce your blood pressure, make a healthier immune system and generally makes you feel better. And don’t use your electronic gadgets before bed.

When you read about a “study” revealing some new finding in health, find out how many people were in the study. Often it’s very few and this can make the results of the study suspect. The best example of this was the vaccine/ autism study of 12 children. This study has been soundly refuted. There is no link between vaccines and autism.

Burning restrictions in effect April 4 Due to current dry conditions the Cariboo Fire Centre is prohibiting category two and three fires effective Monday, April 4.

The move comes to help prevent humancaused fires and protect the public, said the Cariboo Fire Centre.

“Since March 1, 13 fires have burned 42 hectares in the Cariboo Fire Centre,” said fire information officer Emily Epp Tuesday. “BC Wildfire Service crews or local fire departments extinguished these fires,

Creek area and is estimated at 30 hectares in size. We are sending an officer in a helicopter to assess the wildfire this morning and determine how many resources are required to extinguish it.”

The Cariboo Fire Centre stretches from Loon Lake near Clinton in the south to the Cottonwood River near Quesnel in the north and from Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in the west to Wells Gray Provincial Park in the east.

To help mitigate

fires, CFC crews have already done some prescribed burns at the Felker Lake and Chimney Lake recreation sites.

Other prescribed burns are planned for some time in April at Doc English (Becher Prairie), Bald Mountain about 100 hectares east of the Farwell Canyon road, at the six-kilometre mark, and Farwell Canyon, about 50 hectares on the Farwell Canyon road, from the 28-kilometre mark to the 29-kilometre mark.

We just don’t think that’s sustainable.”

Contracts for DNA testing are held between the provincial and federal governments, Richmond said.

Another example of downloading happened after Remembrance Day services were held in communities last November.

They included

armed guards in the procession that had to be covered by the police budget, which is an additional cost, Richmond said.

“It has nothing to do with local government, it’s a national issue of security yet we’re seeing more and more costs shifted to local governments.”

When it comes to DNA testing, local

governments cannot control the costs, Richmond said.

In discussions with the UBCM, the provincial government has said it may look at having a private lab do it, but right now there are not any labs set up to do the work being done by federal facilities.

“I think there should be a national

standard for DNA testing for criminal investigations and it should be paid for nationally,” Richmond said.

The only source of revenue for local governments is property taxation, Richmond noted, adding UBCM isn’t sure if policing costs should be paid for by property owners.

Rural advisory council members reappointed by minister Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Members of the Province’s Rural Advisory Council were reappointed for another two-year term by Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson Thursday.

The mandate of the council is to provide input to government policy decisions to

best support thriving rural communities, while keeping in mind government’s need to control spending and ensure an overall balanced budget for the province.

“I want to thank the members of the Rural Advisory Council for their commitment and dedication to helping the province support rural communities to thrive and prosper and

for providing a strong voice for rural British Columbians,” said MLA Donna Barnett who chairs the council.

The 12 appointed council members include elected officials and representatives from First Nations and economic development organizations from small rural communities throughout B.C., including Tom

Hoffman of Williams Lake.

Hoffman is a registered professional forester and a board member of Community Futures CaribooChilcotin and the Northern Development Initiative Trust.

The other members are Debra Arnott of Cache Creek, Susan Clovechok of Fairmont Hot Springs, Geri Collins of Kam-

loops, Bill Holmberg of Houston, Chief Roy Jones Jr. of Skidegate, Sue Kenny of Dawson Creek, Jonathan Lok of Port McNeill, Grace McGregor of Christina Lake, Chris Pieper of Armstrong, Sylvia Pranger of Agassiz, Gerry Thiessen of Vanderhoof and Eric (Rick) Thompson from McBride.

The council pro-

vides advice on rural economic development, including rural access to capital and business development support for rural entrepreneurs and businesses. The council also advises on rural community capacity building, including the Rural Dividend.

The council is chaired by Barnett and meets on a quarterly basis.

TNG agreement topic of upcoming Alexis Creek meeting Natural Resource Operations, Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and the Tsilhqot’in National Government.

MLA Donna Barnett and MP Todd Doherty also plan to attend.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide the first opportunity for the ministries and TNG to engage the local public and stakeholders and initiate a process of keeping all

parties informed of the progress of they framework agreement negotiations.

Everyone is welcome, although seating

will be limited.

The communities of Riske Creek, Alexis Creek, Puntzi, Tatla, Nimpo, Anahim Lake and others who may

potentially be significantly impacted by the agreement are encouraged to attend.

Downloading of police costs onto local governments continues to be a big concern said Union of BC Municipalities president Al Richmond.

“DNA testing of criminals is a big ticket item,” Richmond said, noting commu-

“The scary part is the fact DNA costs are expected to increase by 127 per cent over the next five years and 63 per cent of those costs are expected to be paid for by local governments.

Budget math a challenge A $29-billion deficit budget seems a bit more than Canadians bargained for.

In the Liberal government’s 2016 budget, the deficit came in at three times what was promised in the election campaign. The feds also broke the news that they would run deficits for their entire term.

It raises questions of whether Canadians are getting quite what we were promised. The Liberals were given a mandate to keep their election promises, with perhaps some leeway to decide which ones to prioritize and determine dollar figures and timelines.

The budget is noteworthy for its social program spending, with restructured child and family benefits, billions for indigenous people and expanded Employment Insurance access. Ideally, it means Canadians are lifted up and over a number of years, there are net savings in social costs because fewer people need help.

These are long-term outcomes, though, that can’t be measured within the confines of a fiscal year. In the meantime, financing ongoing programs with deficit dollars could become troublesome.

In the bigger picture, the deficit is burdensome if it makes a dent in our country’s debt-to-GDP ratio and we can’t know those numbers today. It’s hard to predict, for example, how many jobs will be created by infrastructure spending schemes and harder still to calculate economic impacts of those projects.

A $29-billion deficit is too much, but the problem in saying that is that it begs the question: what’s the right number?

Some of the outcomes of the 2016 budget will be up to Canadians, businesses and individuals, and our successes and failures within this framework. And maybe that’s how it should be.

Climate variation, change, whatever: April fools?

Whatever is being visited upon us with respect to record warm spells and extreme weather events, let’s not just blame the Creator (however you define Her/Him).

A record amount of carbon in the atmosphere is melting glaciers and ice caps the world over.

We are becoming more dependent on water stored in soil and diverted to surface storage and underground storage. We are all responsible.

In the Cariboo, the agriculture sector has been working with levels of government on some strategic actions to help us adapt to and mitigate the recent climate change impacts.

Work has been proceeding on three projects in the Cariboo/ Chilcotin.

First, there has been work underway looking at agriculturally significant dams and researching

the

some of the benefits in addition to irrigation, e.g. moderating flow of water and supporting fish habitat and a diverse set of living creatures benefitting from storage ponds and downstream flows.

Government has been trying to make all the financial responsibility that of the water storage license holders, even though the

dams provide many other Ecological Goods and Services (EG&S).

The report from the Cariboo has now raised this issue with the B.C. government. Work is continuing to try to spread the costs to all the beneficiaries of the water storage system.

Second, a Wildfire Preparedness process has been underway which will result in some recommendations and a locally developed manual on how we can be ready for the inevitable wildfires during these dry years. Also the project is looking at how to best protect our far-flung homesteads, eg. having mini sprinkler systems ready to place on and around our buildings during the threat of fire.

The third project has been to focus on the surface water sources available for livestock watering on range, which is critical to effective management of our extensive

rangelands.

Some ponds are recharged and others are not. What do we do during droughts? This project is just getting under way again, after a false start. Volunteers are working with the B.C. government officials and consultants who do the field work.

A fourth project is about to get underway pending funding approvals: the development of a Regional Agriculture Research Advisory Organization.

As government pulls back from providing information to agriculture stakeholders, it becomes necessary for producers and other stakeholders in the regions to collaborate and show leadership and take charge of our needs. We need a place to keep relevant information about agriculture in our region.

And we need to have the ca-

pacity to manage and develop information such as how to grow climatically adapted crops. This will take trials and demonstration led and overseen right here in our regions.

Most of us are relatively small producers with out the wherewithal to undertake applied research and farm trials. So we have to collaborate with our neighbours and our universities to take charge.

This work will hopefully ramp up over the summer and carry on into the fall. All agricultural organizations will be encouraged to participate.

David Zirnhelt is a member of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association and chair of the advisory committee for the Applied Sustainable Ranching program which started at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake this January.

Budget does not balance itself The first Justin Trudeau budget continues the new Liberal government’s epic string of broken promises.

Expanding the Canada Pension Plan went by the wayside to start the year, as jacking up payroll taxes wasn’t seen as a good way to respond to rising unemployment.

Then there was the national carbon price, which dissolved into a vague commitment to keep working at it with the disagreeing provinces. Now there is the torrent of red ink that washes away the solemn promise that deficits would be no more than $10 billion a year, for no more than three years.

According to rookie Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s new guesses, deficits will be $29.4 billion this year, $29 billion next year, $22 billion in 2018 and a mere $17.7 billion in 2019 as the governing party campaigns for re-election.

The budget even projects another deficit for the year after, apparently assuming that all this borrowing and spending will deliver another majority government.

The campaign promise was built around the claim that infrastructure spending was needed because the country had slid into deficit and recession.

Turns out there was no recession, except in oil-dependent Alberta and Newfoundland, and no deficit until the Liberals opened the spending taps.

And what about the promise to cut the federal small business tax from 11 to nine per cent? Priming the engine of job creation and all

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

that? Gone.

Not even the infrastructure promise is kept. Most of the spending is for ongoing programs, including “equalization,” even though B.C. appears to be the only “have” province left at the moment.

On budget day, the B.C. government sent out Communities Minister Peter Fassbender with strict instructions to bite his tongue about this busted fire hydrant of borrowed money.

Fassbender announced that he and Premier Christy Clark are “delighted” at the infrastructure spending, of which the only identifiable new project for B.C. is a sewer system in North Vancouver.

Massey Tunnel replacement?

Nope. Transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey? We’re continuing preliminary engineering work.

Widening the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 16 to Alberta? Maybe these will be promises for the next federal election.

Fassbender tap-danced when asked why the only province with a balanced budget should be pleased about a federal pledge

to increase the national debt by about a quarter.

He kept circling back to his key talking point, that Ottawa didn’t sabotage B.C.’s liquefied natural gas plans by taking away capital cost allowances for this industrial investment.

Instead Ottawa is jeopardizing the biggest LNG project by dithering over environmental impacts that have already been studied for three years.

The biggest Trudeau promise of all is to rescue the middle class from the awful stagnation inflicted by the Harper years. The

title of Morneau’s debut budget is “Growing the Middle Class.”

A quick fact check takes me to Statistics Canada’s most recent table of median family income by province. After the 2009 economic crisis (triggered by reckless debt among other things), B.C.’s median income for all family types was $66,970 in 2010, $69,150 in 2011, $71,660 in 2012 and $74,150 in 2013.

That’s about the same increase as the national rate — not spectacular, but pretty good considering low inflation. Better than most of the world, in fact.

Again, this government is borrowing gobs of money to throw at a problem that may not even exist.

At this point I’ve all but given up on the Trudeau government displaying actual competence, for anything other than going to parties and flinging rose petals at climate change.

I’d settle for hearing them tell the truth about something.

SPRING DAY FUN

Celeste, 4, (left) and Aurora, 5, Rocheleau enjoy the climbing wall at Kiwanis Park on a balmy spring day Tuesday.

Multicultural gathering a welcome event Will feature traditional foods, entertainment and more The Williams Lake Indian Band will be hosting a multicultural gathering of all nations and cultures who live in this area.

Band councillor Rick Gilbert said the festival will celebrate food, music, dance and art from the many cultures that make up Williams Lake and area.

The two day event will be held on June 11-12 at the Powwow arbour at Chief Will-Yum Campsite.

Gilbert is excited about this

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

event and happy to have the Metis Association providing

much help for this multicultural gathering.

Gilbert says the festival is a good chance to show people of all origins that the people of Sugar Cane care and respect their culture and we want them to understand ours.

There will be different ethnic foods available from booths to help those who enjoy trying the flavours of different countries.

Can you imagine some tasty Mexican, Philippine and Ukrainian food to get the old taste buds excited.

Of course there will be much more ethnic food than those mentioned.

There will be an opportunity for folks to put in food booths at the powwow so they can sell their ethnic products.

Live music will be on site to provide some entertainment and the Nighthawks will be playing on Saturday evening.

The opening and closing of the multicultural event will be somewhat like the Olympics where the different cultures will parade their flags.

Various businesses in Williams Lake and area along with service clubs are contributing towards the financial end of this Multicultural event.

Good for Gilbert and the Williams Lake Indian Band, along with many volunteers in putting together this event which I will be attending, both days.

Hope to see you there.

Happy April Fools Day! Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Station House Express fundraiser celebrates 1920s Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer There will be dozens of paintings and hand crafted items on the auction block for the Station House Gallery’s Party Like It’s 1929 Station House Express fundraising benefit.

The event is set for Friday, April 8 starting at 7 p.m. and includes 1920s themed light appetizers, a wine and beer bar, live music, prizes for best 1920s costumes and two different auctions.

Among other things the blind auction includes a shetland wool blanket created by Jane Perry and paintings by noted local artists such as Lynda Sawyer, Gladys Wheatley, and the late Sonia Cornwall, Vivien Cornwall, and Hazel Henry.

“The blind auction is when folks put a bid into an opaque jar not knowing what the other bids are and we look through bids and highest takes it,”

Brandon Hoffman, Station House Gallery co-ordinator (left), Leah Selk, Central Cariboo Arts Centre Society executive director, and Jane Wellburn, Station House Gallery director have fun promoting the gallery’s Party Like It’s 1929 Station House Express fundraiser by dressing in costume and having their picture taken dancing in front of the 1920s themed mural on the side of the Taylor Made Cakes building on Oliver Street. says gallery manager Diane Toop.

Among the items donated for the silent auction are a handwoven cotton memory blanket by Jane Perry; large woven

rush basket by Debbie Lloyd; oven bakers by potters Judi Prevost and Bev Pemberton; silver jewellery by Steve Doucette; and a salmon sculpture by Creekside Pottery.

There are also many other silent auction items donated from the community including Good Banjo earrings and a vinyl record of their album Long Gone Out

Windsor Plywood; an art package from Liz Derksen; and a ladies’ coat and scarf donated by Just Because and many more items.

Musicians will include the Cabaret Dixie Band, Brian Sawyer, Carmen Mutschele, Brent Morton and Ciel Patenaude, as well as the vocal trio Synergy.

Participants are invited to dress sharp in 1920s style as there will be prizes for the best attire, Toop says.

Part of the fundraising will include a 1920’s photo studio where people can have their picture taken by a professional photographer in their period costumes.

Auditions for new play Annoyance this weekend Open auditions for the Williams Lake Studio Theatre’s production of Annoyance

by Sam Bobrick will be held at the Studio Theatre starting at noon, Saturday, April 2, and at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 3.

The casting call is for two men and one woman of flexible, 30-plus ages, says di-

rector Brad Lawryk.

The play involves a very annoying man who manages to drive both of his therapists over the edge.

The therapists decided to take drastic measures to rid the world of this most obnoxious man but of course things don’t go as planned, Lawryk says. He warns

the play contains occasional adult language and content.

“New actors are welcome,” Lawryk says. “All three are great roles.”

Lawryk says the Studio Theatre is also holding its annual session on Saturday, April 2 starting at 2 p.m. where members pitch the plays they

would like to produce for the 2016/17 season.

Annoyance will be on stage May 17 and 18 as well as one night during the zone festival which takes place May 10 to 21, Brad Lawryk says.

Annoyance joins Death Defying Acts as the Studio Theatre’s zone festival

entries along side a production of God of Carnage from Prince George.

Death Defying Acts is now in production and will be on the Studio Theatre stage May 4-7 and 11-14.

For information contact director Brad Lawryk at brad@lawryk.com or 250-8558835.

The evening will include the opening reception for two fantastic exhibitions, Toop adds.

All Aboard, a group show in the main gallery, features artistic creations dedicated to the Station House. Upstairs Absent Reverie features the work of Rhandi Sandford.

Advance tickets are $25 and available at the Station House Gallery gift shop.

The gallery society continues to welcome donations of auction items.

“Don’t forget it’s a fundraiser, Toop says.

“Get into the era and party like it’s 1929, before the market crashed that is.”

Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Film Club will present its next film The Salt of the Earth Tuesday, April 5, at the Gibraltar Room.

The Salt of the Earth was written and directed by German director Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, son of Sebastiao Salgado, possibly one of the best photographers in the world.

Wim Wenders is not only a very successful film director, some of his best known films are Wings of Desire, Buena Vista Social Club, and Pina, but he is also a very accomplished photographer himself with exhibits all around the world.

Years ago he became interested in the work of photographer Sebastiao Salgado, and you will understand why.

What I don’t understand is why the name was quite unfamiliar to me, shame on me I admit.

When I read so much about it last year in the German news, I had to find out who this Salgado is. And I am sure glad I did.

And then we previewed the film — what can I say.

The words coming to

The documentary The Salt of the Earth, tells the story of Sebastiao Salgado who spent 40 years documenting deprived societies in hidden corners of the world. The film will be shown Tuesday at the Gibraltar Room by the Williams Lake Film Club. my mind are — overwhelming, incredibly beautiful, awesome, powerful, unforgettable.

This documentary is about the life and work of photographer Sebastiao Salgado, who has spent 40 years documenting deprived societies in hidden corners of the world.

During these years he has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever changing humanity.

He has witnessed some of the major

events of our recent history — international conflicts, starvation and exodus.

Instead of turning bitter and sarcastic, he realized the opposite, the beauty of the world.

He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of wild fauna and flora, and of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project which is a tribute of the planet’s beauty.

He moved away from social photography

and began focusing on the environment. The growth of a seedling on his family farm is used to illustrate Salgado’s rediscovery of hope and faith in mankind.

Man is The Salt of the Earth, it can be for the good or for the bad of the earth.

Salgado does not judge, he does not pontificate, he simply shows you the images of the world through his lens.

Let them speak to you, let them stay with you.

Who doesn’t love a good story?

As a boy I grew up on a small island in the Caribbean. In the absence of video games, mobile phones and the internet, we regularly had moments where we’d sit in wonder with the sounds of crickets and the soft glow of fireflies, listening to rich stories. We covered our faces, we cried, we shouted when things got exciting. My mind was always alive, imagining the scenarios.

I’ve often asked myself, what makes a story epic?

For many, a great story is all about the plot. Searching for the most important bits we should be following. For others, a good story is about rules. What commands are important? What is the secret code that needs to be unlocked? Maybe a good story is all about me. It’s about my personal enrichment; so questions are asked like,“How can I live a better life? How can I be a better person?”

But I think any good storyteller knows that perhaps the most important aspect of storytelling is the ability to bring us, the readers, into the story.

That we feel the emotions.

That we get caught up in the rhythms.

That we identify with the

PARSONS PEN

BY JOEL DUNTIN main characters.

Once upon a time, I loved buying CDs. I know today the mention of CDs pretty much sounds prehistoric, but there was something pretty special about it.

The best bit for me was sitting down, taking off the wrapping (that’s right, the wrapping) and simply looking at it. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, 1998. Classic example. I remember sitting there looking at the artwork for her album and thinking about how creative the artist was. It didn’t stop there.

Inside the cover was a sleeve that had everything there is to know about the singer.

Who was in her band.

Who was the producer.

Where it was recorded.

And very soon, beyond anything you could ever get for 99 cents, I was invited to listen, dream and immerse myself in the story of the creator.

So it is with God’s story.

Sometimes our lives can be this never-ending battle of trying to frame all of God’s grand story into our tiny human DNA to the point where we end up all sweaty and edgy. Humanity is constantly fighting for their story of “God” to be recognized as supremely important. Today, understanding God’s story is even more difficult as clarity is being drowned out by the invasion of screen reflections and status updates. Stories appear tinted with half-truths and colourful rendering that tells only a version of the real story.

Perhaps we need to return to that time of the immersive story. The story that requires us to be still and know. A story that is connective; tangible. A living and breathing story. It’s a story that invites us to be active participants in a drama that is bigger than us. A story that is grander than our ambitions.

To perhaps stop, listen, dream and get lost in the story of the Creator.

Inspired by John 3:16

Mysterious Musical Disappearance It has come to the attention of several close acquaintances, that musician ‘doubler,’ Amanda Binman, has not been seen since late Saturday, March 26th and is presumed missing. Amanda was in town to play in the pit band for W.L. Studio Theatre’s successful, recent musical production of “Cabaret.” Binman, who has often performed at various local establishments in the past, “…blew a mean clarinet,” stated a fellow player.

Another musician sideman said, “Binman was well liked and many enjoyed Ms. B’s visits to the Laketown.”

He continued, “Mandy was wonderful to play beside, never missed a beat and had superb rhythm. I believe there was some mention of going south, possibly San Francisco for some R&R and gigging.” Binman had just participated in the 9/10 sold out “Cabaret” shows, which concluded with two dinner performances at the “Elks Hall.”

Amanda Binman put the ‘Kit’ back into the “Kit Kat Klub!”

If anyone has further information of the whereabouts of Amanda Binman, please contact this musician’s local agent, Maestro M. H. at 205392-0007.

Dada Plan wraps up Safety Meeting series Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor This Friday, April 1 is the final Safety Meeting of the season.

I wish our dedicated concert-goers the best as we say goodbye for another year.

With any luck we managed to help, in our small way, to free

up wait-times at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital emergency room.

The Arts on the Fly Festival Society thanks you for coming out and making the series such a huge success in it’s second year!

We decided to end the series on a dancy note.

This won’t be a jagger-bomb-slammingdance-’til-you-puke kind of event; I’d like to think we offer something a little bit classier than that.

We are incredibly excited to sway to the blissfully weird tones of Dada Plan.

Checking out Dada Plan’s website might

leave you even more confused about the band. Embracing confusion seems to be in their mandate.

They released their record A Dada Plan is Free on vinyl, CD, cassette, VHS, and floppy disc. Yes, I said floppy disc.

The release was met with huge praise from Vice’s Noisey, the Georgia Straight, Westender, Exclaim, and many more.

It also landed them some pretty amazing festival slots, like opening for artists Flying Lotus, Tycho, and another band this June at Vancouver’s Levitation festival.

This band is taking off in big ways, and we are so stoked to have landed them for a Safety Meeting.

he had an alternative motive behind this goal.

Shortly after securing the band for the series, he alerted me and mutual friend/occasional collaborator Jason Romero that we were to form a band to open the night.

We obviously agreed whole-heartedly.

The band draws from our three individual projects (Drum and Bell Tower, Pharis and Jason Romero, and Blocktreat) to make something quite unlike anything each of us have ever made before.

It took a few jams to find a groove, but once we hit a stride we were able to synthesize a set with electrified banjo, a steady pulse of syncopated bass and kick drum, and blankets of synth and effects processing.

The New Normal (a name Brent may have already had up his sleeve before we got together, but seemed like an obvious choice) may never play a set again.

I certainly hope this isn’t the case. With two-thirds of the band expecting newborn babies very soon, the future of The New Normal is anybody’s guess.

Tickets for this Friday’s Safety Meeting are at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed for $20. Proceeds from the bar go to the Cariboo Festival Society.

We hope to see you then!

While Brent and I were out of town for last week’s meeting with CR Avery, Lexi Marie, and Papa Lung, I hear it was spectacular.

LOCAL COMMUNITY

Generous donations made for world baby project The crib set up at the Evangelical Free Church on 11th Avenue is overflowing this week with the donations of blankets, sleepers, flannelette diapers and clothing for newborns and toddlers destined to help babies in developing countries.

The baby items will be on display at the celebratory Third World Baby Shower and Tea to be held at the church this Saturday, April 2 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Marie Vautour, who initiated the campaign

couldn’t be happier with the community’s support for the project.

She says the community has donated at least three cribs full of baby items.

“I am very pleased with the support from the community and local artists,” Vautour says. “We have some really beautiful things.

Lots of quilting, crochet and knitting.”

She says one of the artists donated a hand woven blanket.

Vautour initiated the collection campaign

by highlighting reports from missionaries that many babies in developing countries go home wrapped in newspapers because their families are so poor. She says the items donated will be distributed Canada Food for the Children.

She invites people to come and enjoy the free tea Saturday.

“It’s a change to see all of the items that have been donated,” Vautour says. The Evangelical Free Church is located at 1100 11th Ave. North.

While I’m rattling off thankyous, I would also like to give some props to Devon Chappell and the Bean

Counter crew for providing some tasty treats for the series, as well as the Central Cariboo Arts Centre for offering such an insanely affordable facility for the events.

Kent Bernadet has captured some amazing photos of the concerts, completely free of charge. We are blessed for to have his incredible skills.

Hands-on experience enriches ranching program

Thompson Rivers University Applied Sustainable Ranching student Davana Mahon is gaining a wealth of experience at the Chimney Creek Hereford Ranch along Highway 20.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Hands-on experience is providing her with valuable information, said Davana Mahon, a student enrolled in the Applied Sustainable Ranching program at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake.

“I’m learning from people who are working in the industry,” the 22-year-old said Wednesday from Chimney Creek Hereford Ranch along Highway 20 west of Williams Lake.

The ranch is owned by Bill and Lyn Stafford.

Earlier that morning Mahon assisted a veterinarian with semen testing of bulls.

Mahon took the opportunity to observe the vet conducting sperm counts.

Mahon enrolled in the Williams Lake program

in January, after completing a year and a half of agriculture studies at Olds College in Alberta.

Through her practical experience at the ranch she has helped with herd health management, range riding to check cattle.

“Whatever needs to be done, we do it,” she said.

“We’ve got branding coming up at the end of April and then we’ll go onto the range.”

Mahon enjoys working with animals, she said.

“One of the things that is huge with this program is the hands-on experience. Everyone says Olds is the agricultural capital of Canada and has the best lands in Alberta, but I was learning from professors who used to be in agriculture but aren’t any more. They just teach it.”

Through the course out of Williams Lake,

she said, the students are learning from instructors who are still working in the industry.

“They aren’t teaching you out of a text book per say. They can say on my ranch this weekend this is what I encountered or this is what I am doing next weekend.”

She had some of those types of experiences at Olds, but said she is receiving more at the program in the Cariboo.

There is also networking going on between the students and the instructors, Mahon added.

Sometimes the program’s director Gillian Watt will message the students to let them know that someone is looking for ranch hands.

“They are really helping us set ourselves up in this area,” Mahon said.

So far in class they’ve covered marketing and finances and will be tack-

ling predator and protection issues next.

A big highlight for her so far was the class tours they did during the first week of the course.

They visited half a dozen ranches in the Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House areas.

“It was so interesting to see how each ranch has specialized.

The Kaufmans grow corn and vegetables, one ranch does custom grazing and another is doing sheep,” she said.

“None of them are just cow-calf operations.

They each have a niche market to diversify their operations.”

When she completes her studies at TRU, her plan is to venture into beef marketing.

“The beef industry is my passion,” she said. “I want to work with helping consumers understand what the marketing means.”

Businesses can advertise “hormone-free” but all animals have hormones, Mahon used as an example.

Born and raised in the Williams Lake area, Mahon spent time on her grandparents’ ranch when she was younger and was involved with the Rose Lake Miocene 4H Club for 11 years.

“One year I raised the Grand Champion 4H Steer at the district here and it taught me so much,” she said.

“I also worked at a feedlot before I decided to go to Olds.”

The year and a half at Olds reacquainted her with agriculture and she enjoyed hands-on work with a vet while there.

Now she’s building on what she learned at Olds to further her knowledge

while studying at TRU, she said.

“Hopefully one day we can save ourselves costs, work on our own marketing and understand all those aspects of the industry.”

Alexis Creek’s Jake Ilnicki has signed to PRO Rugby to play for San Diego during the league’s inaugural 2016 season. The new rugby league features five U.S.-based teams.

Ilnicki signs to play PRO Rugby Headed south of border to play for San Diego in inaugural season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Alexis Creek’s Jake Ilnicki is taking his rugby talents south of the border.

The 24-year-old tighthead prop specialist and member of the Canadian national rugby team announced earlier this week he signed a deal with PRO Rugby’s San Diego club.

PRO Rugby will begin its inaugural season April 17 with five teams — San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento, Denver and Ohio — and 12 regular season games with the intention of growing the sport in North America.

Ilnicki said he was contacted by the league, along with fellow Canadian teammates, about playing in the professional league’s first season.

“They’ve been looking for international players to take the spots,” he said.

“Canada was going to put a team in but decided not to, to see how it goes. I said I’d be available and here we are.”

Ilnicki will join two other Canadians, Phil Mackenzie and Hubert Buydens, with the team in San Diego.

“I’m super excited to get down there and play with a couple Canadian guys in this new pro league and just loving the support from back home still,” he said.

“I’m very hopeful it’s going to be tough competition and the way it’s been put together so far it looks like it from the players they’ve signed, it’s really exciting. It will be a really good year to set the bar

and keep the competition to build on.”

Playing in the league also will not affect Ilnicki’s status as a member of Team Canada. Players in the league will be free to join up with their respective national teams once the regular season is over for international play.

“I’ll be back with Team Canada in June to play those next three [international] games,” he said.

Ilnicki said PRO Rugby is modelling its league based on what other countries have successfully done.

The sport, while gaining steam in North America, is still relatively unpopular in comparison to other professional sports such as football, baseball and basketball.

“Other countries have

been doing it and they have their pro leagues and they’ve been successful,” he said, comparing it to the way Major League Soccer has grown since its inception in 1996 with 10 teams.

Since then the league has expanded to 20 teams and has a massive following throughout North America.

Ilnicki first came to national attention as the captain of the Canadian under-20 team that competed at the 2012 World Rugby Junior Trophy tournament in Salt Lake City. He won his first senior cap a year later against Georgia and in 2014 earned his first test start against the U.S. Eagles in Sacramento.

In 2014 he went on to play for New South Wales Country Eagles in the

Australia National Rugby Championship (NRC) and started five matches.

After a standout display with Team Canada at the Pacific Challenge in Fiji, he returned to Australia in 2015 to play for Eastern Suburbs in Sydney’s Shute Shield competition, before being recalled to the Canadian squad.

Also a player for the Castaway Wanderers in the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League, he most recently started the first three matches of the new Americas Rugby Championship, however, an injury knocked him out of the South American leg of the tournament.

The most recent of his 12 international starts came against Brazil in Langford.

Due to the construction currently taking place at Coyote Rock, the Coyote Rock Golf Course has been forced to close for the 2016 golf season.

Coyote Rock Golf Course closed for 2016 Coyote Rock Golf Course will not be open to the public for the 2016 golf season.

The Williams Lake Indian Band announced Thursday the course will be placed on care and maintenance and will be open to the public only for special event bookings.

“There is a huge amount of work that will be taking place around Coyote Rock again this

year,” Coyote Rock Golf Course director Willie Sellars said. “Last year we began work on our subdivision development adjacent to the course and near the end of the year we were forced to close off our Highway 97 access.

“We want to offer our patrons the best possible golfing experience and given all the construction work that’s taking place this year we felt it

prudent to limit public access.”

Sellars said the construction of the Highway 97 four-laning project through the WLIB will also take place this year and added when the access infrastructure for the course is complete they will look at reopening.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this causes our loyal patrons,” Sellars said. “But rest assured that when all

the work is substantially complete Coyote Rock Golf Course will be reopened and will be better than ever.

“We’re incredibly excited about all the construction and can’t wait for everyone to see the new Coyote Rock.”

Special arrangements for the rental of Coyote Rock Golf Course in 2016 may be made for staff functions, tournaments, weddings and

other special events.

Coyote Rock Golf Course is a masters level nine-hole course overlooking Williams Lake on the WLIB reserve.

The course opened to the public in 2007.

For more information or to book Coyote Rock Golf Course for a special event in 2016 contact Sellars at willie.sellars@ williamslakeband.ca or by phone at 250-2963507 (ext. 129).

Midget Female Timberwolves give all at provincials The Williams Lake Female Timberwolves finished fifth out of eight teams in Kamloops last week at the BC Hockey Midget Female Championships.

The event, held March 27-30, featured teams including Surrey, Salmon Arm, Terrace, South Island, Kamloops, Richmond and the Kootenays.

Williams Lake opened its tournament with a 2-1 win over the eventual silver medalist, Kamloops, with a 2-1 triumph.

They then dropped a heartbreaker the following day to Surrey, 4-2, before being eliminated the following day by the Kootenays in a 3-2 edging where Williams Lake outshot its opposition, 50-15.

T-wolves head coach Roy Call said all in all, the team knew going in there were five or six of the eight teams that could have brought home the championship.

“It was that close,” he said.

“You needed a few breaks at the right

time. The girls didn’t hang their heads. They were resilient and we’ve had an awfully good season.”

Prior, the Timberwolves claimed the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association championship.

Call added the future is bright for the team, which loses just three players due to age restrictions.

“We have some players moving up that are really, really good,” Call said. “Our team next year will be very strong.”

In the final Richmond blanked Kam-

loops, 4-0, to bring home the gold medal.

“The key game was with Jason Kenney, 2,241 [FIDE rating] in the fourth round,” Scott said. “If he had won or drawn he would have played the next game within the top 10 boards.

“Kenney is a grad student at UBC. It was his first match with Kenney and Jason knew how to beat Kai this time with a line from the English opening.”

Scott said Kai’s loss against Kenney carried over into the next game an hour later in round five against 13-year-old Patrick Huang, 1,836 [FIDE rating] and lasted four-and-a-half

SCAM ALERT If you haven’t read this before, PLEASE… Beware of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) telephone scam The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as well as the Williams Lake Detachment is noting an huge increase in telephone scams where the caller claims to be from the CRA but is not, and is asking our local residents to beware - these calls are fraudulent and could result in identity and financial theft.

Please... Do not send money until you have thoroughly researched the request.

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 latest they have been claiming to be doing surveillance on the person’s home. 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. If you have paid out funds, then you should advise the RCMP. 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 1-800-959-5525. 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.

If anyone has information regarding this suspect’s identity, they are requested to call the WL RCMP at (250) 392 6211 or Crime stoppers at 1 800 222 8477.

Crime stoppers also subscribes to web tips ~ www.bccrimestoppers.com
