DESCRIPTION
March 01, 2012 edition of the Williams Lake Tribune
Citation preview
Randi Gorcak and her fiancé Justin Vedan were sitting on their couch watching TV when they heard loud banging, screaming and hollering.
It was about 10:30 p.m. Friday night and assumed it was a drunk-en fight or a party being busted up so they ignored the noise — until they heard someone screaming, “Help! Fire!”
For the next six hours, the Wil-liams Inn continued to burn.
On Monday morning, Vedan and Gorcak, along with tenants Dale Delayen and Brian Collins, met with the Tribune at the Overland-
er Hotel where they were staying temporarily until accommodation could be found elsewhere.
On Friday, as soon as they heard there was a fire, Gorcak and Vedan put on their shoes, grabbed their keys and ran out the door into a hallway thick with black smoke.
They banged on neighbours’ doors to get them up and did what they could to put out the fire, but it kept spreading and there was no slowing it down.
“Once I realized I couldn’t put this fire out, I just started running around everywhere and started pounding on everybody’s doors and went up to the third floor and banged on as many doors as
I could but it was so thick with smoke,” Vedan says.
The sound of Vedan yelling is what woke up Delayen, whose room was on the third floor, the floor that received the most dam-age in the fire.
He looked out into the hallway but didn’t smell any smoke or no-tice a fire so he went back into his room to get dressed. By the time he went back into the hallway, it was engulfed in smoke.
“I didn’t think I was going to get out,” he says.
On his way out he passed a neighbour’s room and went inside and grabbed a towel and soaked it with water. He then got on the ground and felt his way to the
stairs because he couldn’t see them through the dense smoke.
“I had already sucked it into my lungs. A couple more of them and I’m done, because it just eats your chest up. I was the last guy out.”
Delayen still has the towel, which a coworker at Wal-Mart has since washed for him.
“I’m going to remember this (towel) because that saved my life. All of this stuff I have been taught about getting out of the fire immediately kicked in. I want to give real credit to this community. They have been amazing, reach-ing out.”

Bulk water station in place
The Smart Card bulk water dis-pensing system at the Stampede Grounds is ready for public use, says the City of Williams Lake.
The station is located next to the sani-station. The user will pre-purchase credits for bulk water on a reusable card at the front desk at City Hall. Users can then go to the bulk water station at any time and swipe the card to access water. The system will allow users to dispense the amount of water desired and give a remaining card balance. When the card credits have been exhausted, us-ers can take their card back to City Hall and repeat the process of pur-chasing additional credits.
Cards are free, but a fee of $12 will be charged for lost or stolen cards. The cost of water is one cent per litre.

Victims grateful for the help
Erin Hitchcock photoJustin Vedan and his fiancé Randi Gorcak stand in front of the Williams Inn building that used to be their home.After the fire started, they yelled and banged on their neighbours’ doors to make sure everyone got out safely.The fire, which left about 40 tenants without a home, also affected a nearby building and its occupants, as the power was affected.The Williams Lake Fire Department is still investigating the fire, and a cause has yet to be determined.Those who would like to make a donation to the victims affected by the fire can do so through the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue and the Salvation Army.
He says he is also ap-preciative of Gorcak and Vedan for yelling and screaming to alert him and others of the fire.
“I’m very appreciative of that. I am grateful to be alive. For a lot of us guys on the top floor, if we wouldn’t have heard that, we wouldn’t have known. It would have been too late.”
Delayen was unable to grab his false teeth in time, so he is hoping they may still be intact on his bathroom coun-ter and will be able to retrieve them at some point.
Collins, whose room was on the first floor, was also alerted to the fire thanks to Vedan and Gorcak.
“I woke up and turned the light on and saw all of this smoke coming in underneath the door,” Collins says. “I got dressed. I didn’t want to go in the hallway be-cause that’s where the smoke was, so I con-sidered throwing some-thing through the win-dow.”
But there were people standing on the other side, so he also grabbed a towel and poured wa-ter on it and put it over his head and braved the smoke in the hallway.
“But I couldn’t see. I couldn’t find my way through the exit. There was nobody there.”
He found his way to
the fire escape and got out of the building.
Gorcak and Vedan managed to rescue their dog and two of their three cats — the third couldn’t be found at that time but was found a couple of days later, cold and hungry but oth-erwise OK.
Gorcak says she and Vedan lost their medica-tions, photo albums and her mother’s death and wedding certificates.
Once they can no longer stay at the Over-lander Hotel, Vedan and Gorcak don’t know where they will be able to go next.
“We’re still lost. We have no where to go,” Gorcak says.
Delayen adds that for the next month he will
have a place to stay, as he gets to house-sit for a co-worker.
“Emergency services are looking for alterna-tive housing for us, so at that point, they will let me know,” he says.
***David Faubert con-
siders himself lucky, as he is one of the few ten-ants to have a new home to go to, though he now has little to fill it with.
Faubert says he was two days away from moving into a house with his wife Juana Cervantes and their five children, ages six, 10, 12, 13, and 16. All of their belongings were already packed up when the Williams Inn caught fire.
Four of Faubert’s chil-
dren were not at home when the fire started, and his wife is in Mexi-co visiting relatives. But his other daughter was in the Williams Inn.
Faubert, who wasn’t at home at the time, re-ceived a call of distress from one of the tenants. He then phoned 911.
“It spread so fast. It was amazing. By the time I made that call and went back to make sure everyone was accounted for, the fire was out of control,” he says, adding that his daughter and her friend got out OK.
“I lost a puppy and a kitty, and everything else: bikes, snowboards … with five kids you kind of accumulate things. In the end, it kind of makes you reanalyze
what’s important. With experiences like this, you refocus on what’s really important in life. I think it’s a big lesson.”
Faubert says he would like the tenants to know that he appreciates be-ing with them for the last year and hopes they can all find what they need.
“It was a good project I think, because we kind of took the people who didn’t have anywhere else to go,” says Faubert, who has a background in addictions counselling and works at NOOPA. “The year I was there, it was interesting to see how everyone was im-proving.

‘I am grateful to be alive’
“They had goals and they took two steps for-ward and then one back and then two steps for-ward.”
He says he would like to see more op-portunities out there to help people with sup-port and life skills.
“For me, though I feel I lost the most material things, I feel I have gained so much too by sharing that part of my life with the com-munity that a lot of the times gets neglected or kind of thrown to the sideline, but they are
people. The whole time I was there, I never had any of them disrespect my daughters or the rest of my family. They are decent people, hu-man beings. I’m really satisfied there were no human casualties, and that kind of shows they were looking out for each other.
“It was people from all walks of life, people who are dealing with addictions, mental health, physical health.
“Some of them are dealing with terminal illnesses and going about a day at a time. We had struggles, we had ups and downs
through our stay, but in the end, they are all re-ally good people.
“What I would like to emphasize are the people’s strengths who were living there. It’s a wonderful community.
He says while the tenants are struggling with a lot of issues, as everyone does, at the end of the day, they were there for each other.
“That was really good to see.”
On Monday, Faubert and his children would have been filling their house with their be-longings.
“It was hard but at the same time it saved a lot of moving trou-ble,” he laughs. “You start fresh.”
Before the fire, when packing up their be-longings, one of his
sons said to him, “Dad, do we really need all of this stuff? I think we should downsize.”
After the fire, he told his kids, “Well, we’ve downsized.”
He says his children have handled the disas-ter very well.
“The children are amazing, the way they can rebound from cri-sis and losses is un-believable. Even with
my wife not being here right now, they have handled themselves re-ally well and they’ve held it together and help each other out amazingly, and they’re awesome. I would like to let my kids know they are awesome and are holding themselves together pretty good.”
Faubert encourages the community to make donations to the vari-ous organizations that are collecting for the fire victims.
All of the tenants the Tribune spoke to have expressed their heart-felt appreciation to the community, businesses,
organizations and indi-viduals, including the fire departments and other emergency per-sonnel, the Overlander Hotel, Denny’s Res-taurant, Petro Canada, Wal-Mart, Save-On-Foods, Safeway, Chev-ron, Halls Organics, Central Cariboo Search and Rescue, NOOPA, Mental Health, Emer-gency Social Services volunteers, including Kyleen, Rock, and Isa-belle, as well others in-cluding John Saunders, John Madley, Dan Rob-ertson, Indigo Vedan, Janet Cunningham, fel-low tenants and many others.
I feel I have gained so much too.”

Family two days away from moving out
Williams Inn fire still under investigation
Continued FromPage A2
Fire chief Randy Isfeld says about 30 members from the Williams Lake Fire Department, as well as crews from Wild-wood and 150 Mile House, attended the Williams Inn fire that left about 40 people in that building homeless Friday night.
About 30 more were also affected, as the fire caused power to be lost in another build-ing.
“We had a terrific amount of assistance from the RCMP, which was excellent, and it’s not unexpected,” Isfeld says.
When firefighters arrived, they made an initial attack inside the building and tried to confirm everyone was out safely.
But part way
through, the fire esca-lated and the building deteriorated to a point where firefighters had to get out of the building themselves and couldn’t complete their search, he says.
“The RCMP took it upon themselves to lo-cate these people and confirm that any of the tenants registered in there were accounted for, which was just huge for us and must have been a huge chal-lenge for them but they did a fantastic job.”
Isfeld says Emer-gency Social Services were also at the scene trying to re-locate or find people as well, because many of them had scattered, and to ensure the tenants had accommodation for the next few days.
“Both of them did an excellent job,” Isfeld says, adding he is also proud of the fire crews
that attended.He says there are
several suites in the building that are unaf-fected.
On Tuesday, Isfeld said the building was still locked down, but asked tenants to con-tact the fire depart-ment to find out if their suite may still be in tact. If so, the fire department can make arrangements to have a firefighter accompany them to their suites.
“There are a few rooms in there that are completely destroyed, especially on the top floor where the roof came down,” Isfeld says. “A lot of those rooms are just pretty much gone, but the second floor is not as bad and on the base-ment/bottom floor, there is a lot of water damage there.”
Isfeld says he is re-lieved that the tenants
got out safely and that they and the firefight-ers weren’t injured.
The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined at this point, though it appears to be acciden-tal. He notes, however, that the fire is still un-der investigation.
Those who would like to drop off dona-tions for the victims of the fire can do so at Central Cariboo Search and Rescue on Mack-enzie Avenue and the Salvation Army. Ten-ants particularly need items such as dishes and household items.

Trustees vote for a mediator
School District 27 trustees support the ap-pointment of a mediator in the stalled contract talks between the B.C. Teacher’s Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association which represents govern-ment at the bargaining table.
The trustees voted at their regular meeting Tuesday to support the appointment of a media-tor. The resolution was made in response to a re-quest made last week by Chilcotin Teacher’s As-sociation president Joan Erb.
Erb attended Tuesday’s meeting and thanked the board for their support.
The board’s resolution came on the same day as Education Minister George Abbott intro-duced Bill 22 Education Improvement Act which fulfills the BCTF’s re-quest for a mediator and extends the teachers’ cur-rent contract until Sep-tember for a “cooling
off period.” The bill also imposes hefty fines on the BCTF and individual teachers if they engage in illegal strike action.
Bill 22 was introduced on the eve of teachers throughout the province poised to take a strike vote on Wednesday.
Tuesday the Labour Relations Board ruled teachers could engage in limited strike action.
Saying she was ex-tremely tired, and looking visibly shaken, Erb asked the Cariboo-Chilcotin trustees to pay close at-tention to and read be-tween the lines of Bill 22. She asked the trustees to consider what the real impact will be of losing Bill 33, which places lim-its on class sizes and class configuration.
Prior to the board’s vote, both Chair Will Van Osch and trustee Doug Neufeld declared that they are married to teach-ers. Van Osch noted both he and Neufeld did not have conflicts of interest in voting to support the appointment of a media-tor because there are no
pecuniary implications in the resolution.
Contract talks between the BCTF and BCPSEA began last April but after several months without any movement at the bargaining table teachers began phase one of their job action plan at the start of the new school year in September.
Essentially the teachers are refusing to meet with administrators, complete administrative duties such as compiling report cards, or provide out-of-class supervision.
In a statement last week Abbott maintained back-to-work legislation was needed because the teacher job action was hurting students.
On the contrary, Erb says, many teachers in this district report that they have had more and better communication with parents this year.
In addition, she says elementary teachers are writing updates on stu-dent progress in their stu-dent agendas for parents to read and secondary teachers are printing out
interim reports so stu-dents know their grade per cent ages.
She says extra cur-ricular activities have not been impacted. Science fairs, band concerts, fash-ion shows, sports events and other extra curricular activities are all happen-ing as usual.
Erb also doesn’t be-lieve that not participating in supervision is unduly hurting administrators and notes that in the 100 Mile House area, teachers have maintained supervi-sion duties during the job action in keeping with a Labour Relations Board ruling related to adminis-trative travel limits.
Chair Van Osch says he also doesn’t believe the teachers’ current job action is hurting students directly, although it may be hobbling the ability of districts to move ahead with the learning initia-tives started with teachers a couple of years ago.
“We have been quite lucky. The CCTA has been as co-operative as they can be,” Van Osch says.

PULL OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES
Recent incidents involving emergency vehicles have prompted the Williams Lake Fire Department to remind residents to pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and siren on.
The British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, Section 177, states: “On the immediate approach of an emergency vehicle giving an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle, and showing a visible flashing red light, except when otherwise directed by a peace officer, a driver must yield the right of way, and immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the nearest edge or curb of the roadway, clear of an intersection, and stop and remain in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.”
Here’s how to help:• Signal, pull over to the nearest edge of the road on
the approach of an emergency vehicle and stop• If at an intersection, move out of the intersection
if it is safe to do so, and then stop at the edge of the road until the emergency vehicle has passed
• Check for additional emergency vehicles before pulling back out onto the roadway
• Use your rearview mirror(s) frequently to monitor for emergency vehicles approaching from the rear
• You may see an emergency vehicle before you hear it. Be attentive to the flashing lights. It will give you more time to select a safe place to pull over

Community response great
B.C.’sleadership vacuum
Last weekend was a difficult one for many in our com-munity. On Friday night,
a building at the Williams Inn was destroyed, and on Sunday, a chlorine leak led to the evacuation of the com-
plex and a number of people b e i n g taken to hospital for treat-
ment.My heart goes out to the families
who lost everything in the fire, and to those swimmers and their families af-fected on Sunday. A full investigation into the cause is ongoing. We take this incident seriously, and we intend to find out exactly what happened so it can be prevented in the future.
Out of these tragedies, I have heard some positive stories. The RCMP did an incredible job accounting for each tenant affected by the fire. The Williams Lake, 150 Mile House, and Wildwood fire departments coura-geously fought the fire for hours in the middle of the night. The com-munity has responded by donating generously to these families. City staff at the complex — who are well-trained and run drills for emergencies such as the chlorine incident — and first responders quickly and safely evacuated people from the building and did an impressive job in helping those affected. We recently received comments from swim meet partici-pants from Prince George that they received excellent care from the first responders and all the way through to the nurses and doctors at the hospital. There, too, was another example of a commitment to caring — doctors came in on a Sunday and nurses took on extra duties to care for people in the emergency room.
Another, unrelated bright note: Taseko Mines and the Tsilhqot’in First Nation have agreed not to en-gage in more legal action as Taseko works to collect for information for the federal environmental assessment of the New Prosperity project. It’s my hope that as we move forward, both parties continue to pursue meaningful respectful conversation over this pro-posed project.
Kerry Cook is the mayor of Wil-liams Lake.
I was so tempted to yell, “let’s get ready to rumble” in the leg-islature right before the minis-
ter of education introduced the “Ed-uca t ion Improve-m e n t Act” this week.
S i n c e the intro-
duction of the budget, it’s felt like both political parties have been wait-ing for the teachers’ bill to be tabled to get their juices going. The energy in the capital building has been low, QP repetitive, and MLAs’ budget responses have simply rehashed the tired old arguments about why the people of B.C. shouldn’t trust the other political party.
The premier doesn’t help this situ-ation. When she does show in the House she uses Question Period to lecture the Opposition on how to be an Opposition. Instead of answering the questions posed to her, she chews up the clock lecturing the Opposition on what questions they should be asking in QP.
One could be forgiven for thinking she’s auditioning for the role of Op-position leader given the sorry state of her party’s polling numbers and the likelihood that a B.C. Conserva-tive will take a seat in the legislature whenever the by-elections are called. The leader of the Opposition spends his time ducking and covering be-hind those same polls — afraid to give anyone a real sense of why he wants to be premier for fear of un-dermining his current bump in popu-larity. Day after day the Opposition asks the government to fix the justice system, health-care system and se-niors’ care without once telling Brit-ish Columbians where they’d get the money to do what they’re asking the government to do. They also refuse to state how they would address the current impasse with the teachers or avoid the upcoming battle with the other public sector unions that have indicated they will not accept the government’s net-zero bargaining position.
The leadership vacuum in B.C. has never been so stark.

Hoping for a bright futureIt’s been a pretty intense week for Williams Lake
due to the fire at the Williams Inn on Friday night and the chlorine incident at the Sam Ketcham Pool on Sunday morning.
Many people have been through a lot as a result of both incidents — low income tenants, athletes, chil-dren and adults, firefighters, emergency personnel, the list goes on.
But it’s obvious this community has recognized that, as help has been coming in from so many people in the community. And it still continues to pour in via organizations that are accepting and distributing dona-tions.
And it’s evident that the generosity and caring shown is noticed by many of those who are receiving the help.
The Tribune was fortunate to speak to several of the fire victims this week, and every single one inter-
viewed expressed their deep and heartfelt appreciation to this wonderful community.
Speaking to tenants Justin Vedan, Randi Gorcak, Dale Delayen, Brian Collins, and David Faubert was a touching and heart-warming experience, and I thank them for sharing their stories with us and the rest of the community (see pages A1, A2, and A3).
We are not sure what their future has in store for them but we hope it is a bright and safe one.
As for those affected by the chlorine incident, we are glad that no one seems to be seriously injured.
Though one child was kept in hospital following the incident, which is still being investigated, he was expected to be released yesterday after being on oxy-gen.
We will continue to follow up on both incidents to find out what caused them and if anything different can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
From theMayor’s
ChairKerry Cook
While the 150 Mile House Of-ficial Community Plan received third reading and has yet to be approved by the province, Cari-boo Regional District Area F di-rector Joan Sorley says the excit-
ing thing is the input that local First Nations had in the plan’s development.
“It’s a red letter day for us, we’re very happy. I think what is unique about this one is that our staff has worked with the First Nations staff at the Williams Lake Indian Band. They have support-
ed it,” said Sorley, adding there’s a letter of support from WLIB Chief Anne Louie included in the proposed plan.
A preamble in the plan ac-knowledges the plan area is with-in the traditional territory of the Secwepemc people.
“This plan is without prejudice
to and cannot be used to define and/or limit aboriginal and treaty rights and aboriginal title of First Nations in British Columbia,” the preamble states.
Sorley, who is in her second year on the board, said for most of that time she’s been working on the plan.
“For the whole time I’ve been around we’ve been working on this, and the former director Dun-can Barnett worked really hard on this. I believe it’s been since 2006 that staff and other directors have been working on this.”
A copy of the plan is available at www.cariboord.bc.ca.

Question of the week
Monica Lamb-YorskiTribune Staff Writer
Let’s put an end to DriveABLEEditor: The government has thrown an
unfair curve to aging drivers called DriveABLE. It’s unfair not only be-cause of the physiological stress it puts on the senior driver but as well because of the lack of necessity for this program.
The physiological stress for many rural B.C. drivers starts with a com-munication from the government that one, you now are required to take a computer-based exam called DriveABLE. Two, you now must drive hundreds of kilometers to take the exam.
Never mind any excuses like be-ing in bed with the flu, or at your age you consider the winter roads too unsafe to drive on. Regardless you have three days to get to the testing point or you automatically forfeit your licence. The DriveABLE exam
is an invention by some Alberta Uni-versity people that uses an electronic (in our grandmother’s time tea-leaf reading) process to judge your cog-nitive ability and decide you suppos-edly safe or not safe to drive.
So there you are driving less than four our five hours a week in your local community. You are now being stressfully tasked with driving hun-dreds of kilometers over high-speed highways and often through rush-hour city traffic to go to some distant community to take the DriveABLE exam. Never mind that this required seniors’ testing process has been developed by a some-skewed belief that people who no longer work for a living, and whose only driving re-quirements amounts to four or five hours of week of driving, are respon-sible for and are causing a majority of accidents.
Everybody approaching retire-
ment or older needs to be letting their elected representatives know that with DriveABLE, Canadians living in B.C. are being treated like second-class citizens. The question remains. Why should B.C. senior drivers be treated differently than other Ca-nadians? An accurate survey needs to be established to determine how much actual time the average retired senior is spending on B.C.’s streets and highways.
I suggest B.C. rather needs a children-oriented, TV-based driver education program for all drivers. Children are quick to let us know our faults and they, too, soon will be driv-ing. The government has contracted with DriveABLE and now must send a steady stream of individuals for testing; let’s put an end to this program now. No one is exempt.

Raspberries to the person who so ignorantly phoned in the bomb threat to Columneetza Senior Sec-ondary School the evening of its school dance.
I truly hope you are caught and have to pay for your crime.
The amount it cost the student leadership for the DJ, who was to entertain them with the music should the dance have been a suc-cess, is about $2,500. Sadly, there is no insurance should this not hap-pen.
Also, there was the money that was returned to the students for their entry fee, which, of course, would be due to the fact that the dance was cancelled.
As someone who is aware of the challenges of raising money for dif-ferent functions, I can only imagine the work this student body now has to do for the cost of this venture.
Good luck to the leadership class.

Positive economic signs seen: Mayor Cook
Speaking to the Cham-ber of Commerce Thurs-day Mayor Kerry Cook said politics in Williams Lake isn’t always easy.
“We haven’t had a sec-ond term mayor in Wil-liams Lake for about 20 years so we’re hoping that this term’s going to be building on some mo-mentum,” Cook said, also acknowledging former mayor Walt Cobb, who ran against her for the mayor’s seat in the No-vember election.
“We met recently a couple of weeks ago and I really want to take my hat
off to Walt. A really good example of his leadership is that we met together and we were discussing what he had heard through the campaign and how we can work together.”
At the end of their con-versation the two were committed to work to-gether, Cook added.
Alluding to the pro-posed provincial budget, Cook suggested it is clear the province is in a time when change is really important and there is not the money to go around.
“When we met with ministers in September, meeting after meeting, we heard things have changed and we need to
think differently.”The city, she added, is
in a very strong position to walk through the next phase of “huge” fiscal ac-countability and there are some things that the city can control.
“I don’t know if any-one’s been following our budget process, but we’re changing our pro-cess. We’re putting more emphasis on long-term financial accountability and we’re doing things differently. We’re sav-ing and planning for the future so we’re not as dependent on borrowing money because it’s just not sustainable.”
The process has been
opened up to the pub-lic, in hopes to be more transparent, she added.
Reductions in operat-ing costs have totalled $300,000 so far and staff has been directed to re-duce capital spending by another $500,000.
“Change does not have to be a bad thing. We are often hesitant when we hear the word change,” Cook said.
In the last year, the city has seen some positive economic signs including $50 million in new eco-nomic activity, and va-cancy and unemployment rates decreasing.
Gold prices are high and locally Gibraltar
Mine is completing a $300 million expansion that Cook said will create 200 permanent full-time jobs after the construction phase is completed.
Cook also highlighted the recent participation agreement signed be-tween the Williams Lake Indian Band and Imperial Metals for the Mount Pol-ley Mine.
“A few months ago I don’t know if that would have been possible. It takes a lot of work and a lot of patience to get to that point. And I think that signing between a mining company and a local First Nation is exciting and it’s precedent setting,” she
said, adding she’s looking forward to seeing more of those types of agreements in the future.
Spanish Mountain Gold will give a presen-tation to city council in the next month or so and Cook said she’s in regular conversation with Taseko Mines about the proposed New Prosperity mine project.
Driving around Wil-liams Lake Cook has seen local businesses re-investing, but also said she doesn’t want to take away from challenges that exist.
“I was with Jeanette Tuerlings (Boitanio Mall manager) in the mall
walking around and we had a meeting with the owner of the mall last week. We see a lot of va-cancies. There are some tough things going on. We see a lot of vacancies. We didn’t get into that situa-tion overnight and we’re not going to get out of it overnight.”
Pointing to the busi-ness expansion strategy, she said it’s a priority and that by working together and creating partnerships, with the chamber, First Nations, and Thompson Rivers University in Wil-liams Lake things can change.
“The city can’t do it alone,” Cook said.
Two lakecity hockey teams will compete for a provincial champion-ship in March.
Both the Williams Lake Peewee Tier 2 Timberwolves and the Wil-liams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timber-wolves punched their tickets to the championship Saturday after sweep-ing both of their respective playoff series’ two games to nothing.
The Peewee T-wolves’ path to the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Associa-tion title came following a 7-6 shoo-tout thriller Friday and a 7-3 effort Saturday against Prince George.
By the end of the first frame Fri-day things weren’t looking good for the peewee club. After falling behind 4-0 through one period Wil-liams Lake poured it on in the sec-ond, scoring five goals to send the game deadlocked at 5-5 heading into the final frame.
Williams Lake took a brief 6-5 lead, but Prince George answered back with two minutes left.
After overtime solved nothing it came down to a shootout. There, Williams Lake netminder Hayden Lyons stopped all three shooters and Trey Thomas scored the only goal to propel the T-wolves to a 7-6 win. The shootout winner followed a big game for Thomas who, prior to scoring the winner, had already potted a hat trick in the contest.
Also scoring in the win for Wil-liams Lake were William Paynton
with a goal and three assists, Cody Swan and Dawson Billyboy.
Saturday, both teams took to the ice in Williams Lake again. This time after one period, for Williams Lake, there wasn’t any doubt.
The hometown squad took a com-manding 7-1 lead into the second frame and finished up with a 7-3 win.
Scoring were Brett Alexander (2-1-3), Paynton (1-3-4), Dane DuBois (1-1-2), Lane Wycott, Trey Thomas and Dawson Billyboy.
The peewee club will now head to Penticton from March 18-22 to play for the title.
The Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timberwolves played their zone play downs Friday and Saturday in Prince George against the Prince George Bantam Tier 2 Cougars.
The Cougars earned the host city after taking first in the CAHA sea-son.
Friday, the Bantam T-wolves picked up a huge 3-2 win in double overtime. T-wolves player Colton Thomas tied the game at 2-2 with five minutes to play and scored the overtime winner. Also scoring in the win was Spencer Thomas, with as-sists going to Justin Bond and Justin Hansen.
Jaxon Nohr was between the pipes in the win for Williams Lake.
Game two Saturday saw the Cou-gars storm out of the gates, scoring a goal on the game’s first shift.
Fortunately for Williams Lake, Thomas started out right where he
left off the previous night, tying the game 1-1 just two minutes later. Fol-lowing that, Williams Lake took a 2-1 lead when Chase DuBois found the twine still early in the first.
In the second period Brendan Lane lit the lamp and Zach Herrick potted a shorthanded goal to propel the T-wolves to a comfortable 4-1 lead heading into the final frame. There, Justin Bond and DuBois added insurance markers and Wil-liams Lake took a 6-1 CAHA title win.
The Bantam Tier 2 Provincials will be held in Trail from March 18-24.
For other lakecity rep teams —
the Williams Lake Tier 2 Midget T-wolves, the Williams Lake Bantam Tier 3 T-wolves and the Williams Lake Peewee Female T-wolves — who were also playing for a spot at provincials — the weekend ended in disappointment.
After winning game one on home ice 1-0 the Williams Lake Midget Tier 2 T-wolves lost 4-2 at home Saturday, and then 6-0 in Prince George Sunday to be eliminated.
The Bantam Tier 3 T-wolves were beaten in two games by the Quesnel Thunder, and the Peewee Female T-wolves — after some tough luck in a 3-2 overtime loss to Prince George Saturday — fell 3-1 later in the day.

Lakecity soccer play-ers and youth from sev-eral elementary schools in the community got a chance to meet and play with Canadian soccer legends this past week.
Sam Lenarduzzi, Vancouver White-caps regional scout and camp manger, and Carl Valentine, former Canadian World Cup player and Whitecaps ambassador and staff coach, spent some time in Williams Lake Fri-day and Saturday pro-moting the game they love.
“We did five elemen-tary schools, kinder-garten to Grade 7, and the kids were very ex-cited,” Lenarduzzi said. “We spent about 45 minutes at each school going through the four different skills of soc-cer. It’s interactive and they get to cheer, have fun ... The kids had a great time.”
Saturday, the Wil-liams Lake Youth Soc-
cer Association held Soccerfest, its annual registration day at Wil-liams Lake secondary. Again, young players dropping by through-out the day registering with their parents had the opportunity to kick the ball around with the Whitecaps.
Lenarduzzi, who has been coming to Wil-liams Lake for the past 20-plus years hosting the Vancouver White-caps FC Soccer Camp, said the team’s hope by reaching out to the youth is that more kids will come out and reg-ister for soccer. He also said the Whitecaps have begun taking a more proactive role in developing players and soccer in the province.
“There are good players everywhere,” he said. “You don’t want to be the one who missed the next Beckham, or the next whoever and they’re out there. If you look at the story of Pele and (Diego) Maradona they came from these little villages in the middle
of nowhere.“So, we’re here to
strike up a partnership (with the WLYSA). We’ve always worked a lot with the younger kids (at the summer camp) but now we’re looking at working with some of the more older kids and rep kids.”
Lenarduzzi said he hopes, eventually, with the emergence of professional soccer in Canada, people will begin to see there are pathways available to players — much like how hockey is treated nationally.
“People looking for a pathway to profession-al soccer — if that’s what their passion is — we’re working to pro-vide that pathway,” he said. “There are more kids playing soccer than hockey, so we’re trying to fill that void. In hockey the kids have something to aspire to — in soccer they need something to aspire to.”
Brian Hansen, player and coach development co-ordinator for the
WLYSA, said having the Whitecaps on board is a tremendous asset for the organization.
“We’re all volun-teers and to have the skill level, the back-ground and the support from the Whitecaps to help steer us and guide our kids to give sup-port and instruction is something, in a rural community, you just can’t get like in the big city,” Hansen said.
“This relationship is such a positive thing for us and there is a lot of opportunity there for kids.”
The Whitecaps, in-cluding Valentine and Lenarduzzi, will be back in the lakecity May 26-27 for their spring soccer camp.
Registration forms are available at the WLYSA office at 204-197 North Second Ave.
Additionally, signup is still underway for the WLYSA season. After March 9 there will be a late fee. Forms for soccer registration are available at www.wly-sa.com.

Men’s hoops tourney first in five years
The Williams Lake Men’s Basketball League hosted a four-team tour-nament on the weekend at Columneetza second-ary with teams from Bar-riere/Golden and Quesnel attending.
Martin Kruus, tourna-ment organizer, said the basketball was competi-tive, the tournament went smoothly and everyone had a good time.
He added it was the first men’s basketball tournament to be hosted in Williams Lake in the past five years.
“It’s a learning pro-cess but it’s gone well,” he said. “All the teams who promised to come showed up, everyone’s friendly, they’ve com-plimented the refereeing and everyone who had roles to fill, such as the dry grad committee on concession, did a great job.”
The two local teams — Mike’s Men and Gregs Etc. — were in tough, Kruus said, noting the visiting clubs came hun-gry for competition.
“I thought our local teams certainly didn’t play their best, especial-ly in the first couple of games,” he said.
The tournament final featured both out of town teams with the Quesnel Bulls Bandits taking a
82-52 win over Golden/Barriere.
“Golden/Barriere hung in there for a while ... but just before the second half Quesnel started pull-ing away. They hit about a dozen three pointers in the game,” Kruus said.
The third- and fourth-place final saw Gregs Etc. defeat Mike’s Men, 72-47.
Kruus said he hopes the tournament will be
something to build on for the local league.
“Hopefully we can build on it with a couple of smaller tournaments next year,” he said.
“100 Mile House expressed interest but weren’t able to come so maybe we can do a Cari-boo regional semi-league — a half tournament, half league with mini tourna-ments every month or two. That might be the answer [to more games] in terms of demographics in the area.”
For now, though, the league is getting ready to wrap up its winter ses-sion on March 7.
Kruus said whether the league runs again in the spring depends on interest.
“We play pickup style drop-in,” he said. “Guys
can come and go and if anyone wants to try it you’re welcome to. If you like it, you’re wel-come to come back. If not, stay away.”
The league meets ev-ery Wednesday from 8 to 10 p.m. and on Sun-days from 7 to 9 p.m. at Columneetza secondary. The cost is $20 for three months to help cover the gym rental.
“The out-of-town teams beat us fairly soundly so that’s a good lesson for us that we’ve got lots of improvement to do,” Kruus said.
“That means lots of learning for us but it’s been a great tourna-ment.”

Medical tech Cpl. Christie Borkowski serving in Afghanistan
With a reassuring smile, she places the thermometer in the soldier’s mouth and tightens the blood-pressure cuff around his arm. “Most likely, you’ve got the virus that is going around the camp,” she says, “but we’ll check you out.”
Medical technician Corpo-ral Christie Borkowski of 150 Mile House is living the twin goals she set for herself in her youth — a medical career in a military context.
A member of 1 Field Ambu-lance in Edmonton, Borkowski
is deployed in Afghanistan on Operation ATTENTION, Canada’s participation in the NATO Training Mission–Af-ghanistan (NTM-A).
Borkowski works in the Unit Medical Station at Camp Ala-mo, the NTM-A camp co-lo-cated with the Kabul Military Training Centre, the Afghan National Army’s primary train-ing base. Although she wears a Royal Canadian Air Force uni-form, she has served with the Canadian Army for four years. She plans to make a career in the Canadian Forces.
Borkowski’s formal intro-duction to medicine was the
First Aid component of a ba-by-sitting course she took at the age of 12.
“I always enjoyed the medi-cal field,” Borkowski says. “I kept up with my First Aid train-ing all through high school, and I took some athletic First Aid courses. I was part of a volunteer fire department back home for four years, both as a first responder and as a fire-fighter.”
Working with animals in the Cariboo gave her extra experi-ence.
“I grew up near my grand-father’s ranch where I had to do a lot of veterinary-type stuff for the horses and cows,” Borkowski says. “It was great.”
Her family encouraged her interest in a military career.
“Both of my grandfathers were in the Royal Canadian Air Force. With my interest in medicine, I just sort of fell into combining the two.”
Borkowski is not the only Canadian Forces medic on Op-eration ATTENTION; most are training advisors working with Afghan National Army medical and support staff at the Armed Forces Academy of Medical Sciences. Borkowski is not a training advisor, however.
“I serve in an integral sup-port role, supporting our troops,” she says.
“This deployment has been different from what I had ex-pected,” she says, commenting on the workload.
“I came prepared to treat injuries like they had seen in southern Afghanistan battling insurgents, but our mission is now in a training role. That means we see things like vi-ruses and sprains — things you
normally see back in Canada in a walk-in clinic on a base.”
Borkowski’s smile these days likely seems even brighter because she is nearing the end of her five-month deployment.
By the end of March she will be back Edmonton where she and her fiancé will finish plan-ning their summer wedding. Like Borkowski, Private Adam Blackwell of St. Thomas, Ont.,
is a medical technician in the Canadian Forces.
It will be a mixed marriage however. He’s Army.

Secondary judges were Marten Lettinga and John Salvatore from TRU and Katelyn Zhou, a recent graduate of the Bachelors of Sci-ence program at UBC Vancouver.
Blusson says Gibraltar Mine helped to sponsor the event and Shel Myers at TRU provided the use of his lab for students to use petri dishes to grow bacteria. At last year’s science fair Martin Let-tinga also provided the students the use of his lab to make Hot Ice.
Maranatha Science Fair winners were proclaimed in the following categories.

Primary, junior and secondary scientist awards were presented to participants based on their en-thusiasm for their project, their interaction with the judges and their overall knowledge of their project.
Primary Scientist: Ayla Doering. Junior Scientist: Madison Blusson and Megan Cramer. Senior Scien-tist: Garrett Shephard.
The following students will be heading to the District Science Fair in 100 Mile House on March 8 based on their overall score for

Irish film on tap for Tuesday film club
And now for some-thing completely differ-ent.
Irish films are not exactly en vogue, but the Williams Lake Film Club has found an Irish film which has proven to be a surprise hit — even to the Irish.
On Tuesday, March 6, we will be screening the off-beat film The Guard, starting at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memo-rial Complex with back doors opening at 6:30 p.m.
If you like black com-edy, jet black comedy, this one is for you.
Set in Galway on Ire-land’s west coast, The Guard was very well re-ceived at the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festi-vals in the U.S. before opening the Edinburgh Film Festival, where it went absolutely huge. And now the debut film that became the most successful independent-ly funded Irish movie ever has won The Guard-ian First Film Award.
What is this film all about?
To put it in a nut-shell, Sergeant Gerry Boyle, played unforget-tably well by Brendan Gleeson, is a small-town Irish cop with a confron-tational personality, a subversive sense of hu-mor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes (especially if they dress up in police uniform), and absolutely no inter-est whatsoever in the international cocaine smuggling ring that has brought straight laced FBI agent Wendell Ev-erett to his door (Don Cheadle, ever so prim and proper).
As The Guardian film critic and one of the judges, Peter Brad-shaw said, it is a work of “originality and wit
… horribly funny, deli-ciously incorrect, with an unexpectedly stirring, old-fashioned friendship between two lawmen.”
But then again, noth-ing is what it seems to be in this film, or should it be the other way around?
The lines keep on coming, the action takes any twist and turn pos-sible, but all in a quiet deliberate manner.
And the language is peppery, as Tihol, my husband, likes to say.
The F-word is used frequently and com-pletely casually and when Gleeson says something like: “I’m Irish. Racism is part of my culture,” you barely dare to blink because
you don’t want to miss the next line.
If you think now that this is just a comedy, another good-cop, bad-cop film, you are wrong again. This is not your everyday buddy movie. This film has a lot to say about life, just in a dif-ferent way.
There will be refresh-ments served after the screening and I hope I will finally get to bake the sesame cookies I have been planning for a while. They sure sound good. Everyone is wel-come to our films. Al-though they are present-ed by the Williams Lake
Film Club, admission is open to everyone.
The proceeds go to the LDA, the Williams Lake Chapter of the Associa-tion for Students with Learning Disabilities.
By the way, we are off to the Lower Mainland. One of the things we are planning to do is meet with Paul St. Pierre to get some more parts of the series “Cariboo Country.” Excited? Am I ever.
Film club admission is $9 regular, $8 for mem-bers, and $6 for seniors (65-plus) and students, high-school and TRU.
See you Tuesday.

Get a Home Inspection for Your Protection!
The purpose of a home inspection is to fi nd out everything you need to know about the home you’re thinking of purchasing. You want to know about any major potential repairs and expenses that may come up in the near future. You want to know what kind of shape the roof and foundation are in. You want to know exactly what you’re buying!
The best way to ensure you’re using a professional home inspector is to seek referrals from your mortgage broker, real estate agent or friends & family. You want to know that others have used this inspector and have found him or her to offer professional, unbiased advice.
When you’re looking around for a home inspector to use, remember to ask these questions:
1. Can I see your licence/professional credentials and proof of liability insurance?
2. How many inspections have you completed?
3. Are you a member of a professional organization?
4. What’s your background – construction, engineering, plumbing, etc?
5. Can I see some references? 6. What kind of report do you provide? 7. How long do your inspections usually
take?8. How much do you charge for an
inspection?
By asking these above questions and taking the time to research the professionals that you’re getting your advice from, you’ll save yourself potential heartache and big money in the future by making an informed and educated choice!

rick Hansen fundraiserA fundraiser for the
Rick Hansen monu-ment being created for the Tourism Discovery Centre will be held at the New World Coffee and Tea House, Saturday, March 10 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Coffee and tea will be
served by donation for the monument that will be in place in time for Hansen’s arrival March 25 as part of his 25th an-niversary tour.
The monument will be unveiled Monday, March 26 at 11 a.m. at the TDC.
A community celebra-
tion is planned for March 25, beginning at 4 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.
“This has always been a community project, and we’d love to build on the generous support of our donors so far,” says Coun. Surinderpal Rathor.
Sarah-Jeanne Hose is said to have the unique gift of persuading audi-ences they are seeing and hearing Patsy Cline re-born in the flesh.
She sings from her heart and her soul, pay-ing tribute to Cline’s classics, from the beau-tiful Faded Love, the tragic I Fall To Piec-es, the iconic Sweet Dreams, and of course Cline’s biggest hit, Crazy.
The star of the play A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, which played to sold-out performances all over B.C., Hosie’s genuine stage presence and stunning vocal range has had audiences and media across Cana-da begging for more.
Hose joins David James and his band Big River in an ode to Cash and Patsy Cline in a Vegas-life tribute show Country Legends coming to the Gibraltar Room, March 9.
Johnny Cash once said: “You know, per-formance is commu-nicating. You’ve got to communicate. You’ve got a song you’re sing-ing from your gut; you want that audience to feel it in their gut.”
Fans of the Man in Black will get that old feeling back when Da-vid James, takes to the stage.
James is one of North America’s favourite Cash tribute acts per-forming all of the Man in Black’s hits spanning five decades.
James is said to nail
Cash’s mannerisms and voice, singing all of the great songs such as I Walk The Line, Soli-tary Man, Get Rhythm, Folsom Prison, Ring of Fire and newer songs like Hurt and Rusty Cage.
One of the world’s leading, most convinc-ing tribute artists in the music business, James
doesn’t try to con-sciously look, act and sound like his idol — he just does.
In his act, Almost... Cash, he and the band are doggedly dedicated to replicating the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute the world has ever seen.
“We want our audi-ences to have the thrill
of an authentic Man in Black show. Not just the words and music, but the full experience,” said James.
“It’s not only about the voice. It’s about liv-ing and breathing the man –– his posture, his mannerisms, his moves, and his quirks.
“I want our audiences to go home feeling like they just observed the man himself.”
Joining James is back-up band Big Riv-er, who performed for sold-out crowds during their recent tour.
Consisting of four musicians from the West Coast, the band is said to present the re-cordings of Cash in the style and with the sound of Cash himself.
The Country Legends tribute takes the stage at the Gibraltar Room Friday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $35. (cash only) at Willie’s West-ern Wear and Margett’s Meats.
