They are actually putting up 60 per cent of this from their own pockets,” Massier said. “It’s the first posi- tive sign from Interior Health that they are moving ahead now.

Hospital plan closer to a reality

Cariboo Fire Centre warns of dry, volatile conditions

The Cariboo Fire Centre is re-minding the public to be safe with fire use — especially in the Chil-cotin where dry, volatile wildfire conditions exist.

Last week the fire danger rating for the Chilcotin was increased to high.

Two new fires, each less than one

hectare in size, started in the Chil-cotin during the weekend, said fire information officer Greig Bethel.

Of the 44 fires in the Cariboo Fire Region in 2013, all were started by humans, and therefore preventable.

Bethel reminded the public an open burning prohibition is in ef-fect for the entire Cariboo Fire Centre region.

The prohibition bans all back-yard and industrial burning, includ-

ing waste, slash, stubble and grass.Campfires are still permitted, but

they must be kept under a half-me-tre by half-metre in size.

Cook stoves that use gas, pro-pane or briquettes are also OK.

Anyone found in contravention of the prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.

contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all fire fighting and associated costs.

Recommendations made in Sargent case

The jury participating in the public inquest into the death of 19-year-old Blaine Conrad Sargent found the immediate cause of death was a methamphetamine over-dose and classified the death as accidental, but it also made nine recom-mendations.

Sargent died on Sept. 21, 2011 at the Univer-sity of Northern B.C. Hospital. He was taken to the hospital after go-ing into medical distress at the Prince George Correctional Centre a short time after return-ing from a court appear-ance in Williams Lake.

Of the nine recom-mendations four were directed to Sentry Cor-rectional Health Ser-vices Inc., and included

during the intake pro-cess of inmates, that health care profession-als explain in “plain and simple” language the risks of packing drugs, and that if drugs are present it will be treated as medical issue.

To BC Corrections and BC Sheriffs the jury recommended implementing official 10-minute checks on prisoners with noted medical concerns.

To the RCMP, BC Corrections and BC Sheriffs that they con-tinue to work on an in-formation sharing sys-tem that shares pertinent information, and that information posters on the danger of drug pack-ing are made and placed in high visibility ar-eas, both in RCMP cell blocks as well as correc-tional centres.

“The posters are to be made in such a way that anyone can understand, including illiterate and non-English speaking people,” the jury’s state-ment noted.

It also suggested the RCMP make notation on the prison jail forms if there is any reason to suspect an inmate is packing drugs or has other medical issues and that a written as-sessment check list be designed for the RCMP for use when a medical check has been request-ed.

The three-day in-quest, presided by re-gional coroner Donita Kuzma, finished in Wil-liams Lake May 8.

“This death is a trag-edy and our heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Mr. Sar-gent,” a Ministry of Jus-

tice spokesperson said in an e-mailed response. “BC Corrections and the Court Services Branch take this death very se-riously and are commit-ted to making changes that improve the safety of inmates in our cus-tody. We thank the jury for its thoughtful recom-mendations for which BC Corrections and the Court Services Branch will give careful consid-eration and a formal re-sponse for each one will be provided to the Coro-ner’s Service. These recommendations will build on those already put in place as a result of the joint BC Correc-tions’ Critical and Court Services’ Incident Re-view.”

Truth and reconciliation sharing begins ThursdayFormer students,

their family members and others who have been affected by Cana-da’s Indian Residential Schools are invited to share their experiences with the Truth and Rec-onciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), May 16 to 18 as part of the St. Joseph’s Mission Resi-dential School Com-memoration Project.

Everyone who would like to learn about and bear witness to the leg-acy of the schools is en-couraged to attend.

Statements may be made publicly at shar-ing panels conducted by Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the TRC, or pri-vately.

Public sharing pan-els are scheduled in the gymnasium, Thompson Rivers University, Wil-liams Lake:

Thursday, May 16 from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, May 17 from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday, May 18

from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.Private statement

gathering will begin May 16 and continue through Monday, May 20. Health support workers will be on hand.

Sharing panels are free to the public and will be streamed live at www.trc.ca.

The TRC is an inde-pendent commission established as a result of the 2007 Indian Resi-dential Schools Settle-ment Agreement.

Its mandate is to in-form all Canadians about what happened in the 150-year history of the residential schools, and to guide and inspire a process of reconcilia-tion and renewed rela-tionships based on mu-tual understanding and respect.

In Williams Lake both the city and the Cari-boo Regional District have declared Sept. 30 as “Orange Shirt Day,” annually as an acknowl-edgement of the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self worth, self-

esteem and well-being and the pain suffered by the children who attend-ed and their families, and as an affirmation of both local governments’ commitment to standing together to ensure that everyone matters.

The idea came af-ter former St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School student Phyl-lis Webstad told a story during a panel discus-sion on April 26 about her grandmother buying her a new shiny orange shirt for her first day of school.

Upon arrival at school, the shirt and her other clothes were taken away, and replaced with a uniform.

“I couldn’t wear or-ange for many years,” Webstad said.

Monuments honour-ing residential school students will be un-veiled at the former St. Joseph Mission School site on Thursday May 16 and in Boitanio Park on Friday May 17. Both ceremonies begin at 11 a.m.

Community encouraged to help with city place branding

City council is encour-aging the community to help with a place brand for Williams Lake.

There will be an updat-ed survey for residents at the existing www.mywil-liamslake.placebrand.ca/participate website.

Public meetings will also take place, perhaps toward the end of the month, the city’s man-ager of economic devel-opment said at the May 7 council meeting.

“The branding com-pany has agreed to work with us to gather ad-ditional input and then look at some new slogan ideas, and some of those things, at no additional cost,” Madrigga said.

So far the cost has been around $41,000. An additional $50,000 is set in the 2013 budget for marketing, he confirmed.

“We will communicate out more as well as try to get people to participate better this time around. We anticipate that people will engage and we will be responding to some of the comments we have already received the last month,” Madrigga said.

Last month a delega-tion showed up at the April 9 city council meeting to protest the proposed “Republic of Life” tag line.

There have been on-line discussions protest-ing the slogan and the branding process, and several letters to the edi-tor in the Tribune.

Madrigga said the original brand advisory committee will be active and explained the com-mittee has representa-tives involved with the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, other service clubs, Thompson Riv-ers University, Williams Lake Construction As-sociation, and people who are trying to attract workers with investment dollars to the community.

Coun. Laurie Walters asked if other commu-nity members could be involved, and Madrigga said there’s always an opportunity to engage more people, but the point of having a smaller committee was not to be reclusive or non-inclu-sive.

“If you have a large

committee you end up with no consensus, but the committee members will go out to the public and gather input before anything is finalized,” he said.

Coun. Surinderpal Ra-thor said he will not sup-port the branding project moving forward.

“I supported the bud-get originally, but that doesn’t mean we should spend the money. I think council should rethink if we need to spend this type of money. The hall was full here last month and 92 per cent of the people were against it, plus or minus.”

Contradicting Rathor, Coun. Geoff Bourdon said council has identi-fied it needs to develop a brand.

“Just because we meet some resistance I don’t see that as a reason to throw it out the window.”

It was made clear that everyone did not like the word “republic, he said.

Otherwise most peo-ple identify with the ef-fectiveness of having a brand.

“The fact that we have a consultant doing work without additional ex-pense to the community I can’t justify throwing $40,000 out the win-dow.”

Coun. Danica Hughes said she didn’t recall many people saying they are against branding.

“It was about being against the tag line and that people felt they didn’t have an opportu-nity to give the input they

would have liked to con-tribute,” Hughes said.

There needs to be some balance put forth to the project, she added.

“Not only who we were, and who we are, and who we are going to become. The whole point of the branding is about our future.

“I don’t think anyone would consist that every-one sitting around this ta-ble is concerned with our residents and our future residents.”

She also stressed that while the initial proposal was not her “cup of tea,” she wants to move for-ward with the project.

Mayor Kerry Cook said council is taking a step back and encourages people who are passion-ate about the community

to provide input.“People can be in-

volved, we’re using the website. This is the be-ginning of the process, we haven’t adopted any-thing, we haven’t moved forward, we still have a long way to go in the process,” Cook said.

Hughes said branding is one piece of the pie.

It is only one of a num-ber of initiatives that are going on for succession and retention, she added.

“I think there’s a no-tion out there that we think this is going to be the be all end all for Wil-liams Lake and bring all these people in,” she said.

Madrigga agreed say-ing a place brand is one thing in the tool box for marketing.

Meeting

Transparency important in mining

When it comes to mining, transparency is one of the things Cana-dians care about, says Mining Association of Canada CEO Pierre Gratton.

Gratton was the key-note speaker at a Min-ing Week event hosted in Williams Lake, May 2, by Imperial Met-als Mount Polley and Taseko Mines Ltd.

Presently there are 45 mining companies in the association.

Under MAC’s To-ward Sustainable Min-ing program, companies evaluate themselves and every three years re-ceive an external audit to ensure they’ve mea-sured themselves accu-rately.

The results are posted on the MAC website to give the public a chance to look at all the mem-ber companies’ mines and see how they’re per-forming against a crite-ria from year to year.

“It also gives you the chance to see how the industry is making continuous progress in terms of how it manages its environmental and social performance,” Gratton said. “It’s one of the ways of making sure you can trust the corporate citizens that live and operate in your town.”

Imperial Metals Mount Polley general manager Tim Fisch said Imperial Metals com-pleted phase one of the audit process in 2012.

Mining is an essential industry, with 320,000 employees working across Canada, Gratton said.

“It pays the highest

industrial wage of any sector in the economy, 30 to 60 per cent above many other sectors, in-cluding forestry or oil and gas. We paid $9 bil-lion in taxes and royal-ties to governments in 2011.”

A major investor in capital, mining is the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal people in Canada, with some mines employing more than 50 per cent Aboriginal employees, he added.

“Presently there are more than 350 agree-ments between mining companies and Ab-original communities in Canada. There isn’t an-other sector that comes remotely close to that.”

Resource revenue sharing with Aboriginal communities is sym-bolically significant because it ensures the wealth coming out of

the ground in traditional territories is shared, he added.

“It sends a very rich important signal of re-spect. I truly believe it’s imperative on a go-forward basis that Ab-original Canadians par-ticipate in and benefit from the resource boom in our sector in the next 30 years. If they don’t we will have failed.”

Mainstream eco-nomic Canadian society traditionally excluded Aboriginals, but the in-dustry is working hard to change that, he sug-gested.

“We’ve developed a protocol on Aboriginal community engage-ment. Here in B.C. you have a tremendous suc-cess with the BC Ab-original Mine Training Association.”

The present age can-not live without mining, Gratton said, arguing

mined materials have to come from somewhere.

“I always feel, work-ing for the Canadian mining industry, I’d rather it came from here because that means it was coming from a place where the jobs were here, where I knew that we had the strongest environmen-tal laws and regulations in the world, and where we have companies that had the highest level of environmental aware-ness and knowledge.”

Gratton recently re-turned from a trip to Turkey. He was invited there by the Turkish Mining Association be-cause they wanted to learn about mining in Canada.

“They wanted to know how we run our industry and our sustain-able mining program, which is a program of responsible mining, and how they can apply it in their country.”

Mining is one of the few industries that Can-ada dominates in glob-ally, he added.

“We are considered and recognized as lead-ers in the world. In many other sectors of the Canadian economy we’re branch plants. The Americans, Euro-peans and Japanese are here. Look at our auto-motive industry. There aren’t Canadian cars. We make them here, some of them, but they are not our industry.”

Working for MAC

was not something he was trained for, Gratton told the Tribune.

“I was working politi-cally at the federal level for the Minister of Jus-tice and the Minister of Natural Resources Anne McClellan. I’m not an engineer, I’m not a ge-ologist.”

While he was work-ing for McLellan, a friend was hired by the MAC as an economist. “He called me up when a public affairs role opened up and encour-aged me to apply,” Grat-ton said.

“I’d been on the hill for three years and in my head had told my-self that would probably be enough time because those are crazy jobs. My wife was pregnant and I didn’t think it was a good idea to be a dad and have a job on par-liament hill.”

He applied and then got the job.

“I remember at the time wondering what I was getting into. Won-dering what this mining industry was all about. I had my own percep-tions about whether it was responsible or not. About its environmen-tal performance and the rest of it.”

Gratton went into the job wondering how his conscience would feel and found out he was working for a sector he “just loved.”

Mining ‘hugely’ regulated: Gratton

The people in min-ing are “pardon the pun, down to earth,” very collaborative, and really ethical, he added.

Using the overhaul of the Canadian environ-mental assessment act as an example, he said MAC has been involved very closely.

“The position we took all along was that we wanted an act that was well-run and efficient.

We did not try to get it out of environmental assessment. When the Conservative govern-ment made the reforms it did, they removed a whole level of envi-ronmental assessment called screening.”

As a result some sec-tors are no longer as-sessed at all, Gratton said, adding mining could have lobbied to “get out,” but didn’t, on a principle position.

“It was not the ethi-cal position to take. We

have major projects with impacts that should be evaluated, so all of our recommendations fo-cused, not on getting out, but on just ensuring it was well run, predict-able, and that decisions made sense.”

And the association is satisfied, he said.

“We think that since 2010, C.E.A.A. runs the agency much better than it used to. Mining is ‘hugely’ regulated. It’s not the industry of yes-teryears.”

City contract provides pay increase

Williams Lake city union workers will re-ceive a modest incre-mental pay increase in its new 2012-2016 col-lective agreement.

On March 4, the Inter-national Union of Oper-ating Engineers Local 882-B and the city rati-fied the new agreement.

The increases will be 1.75 per cent for 2012, 1.75 per cent for 2013, two per cent for 2014 and two per cent for 2015.

At its May 7 coun-cil meeting, mayor and council received a re-port on the agreement from the city’s manager of human resources, Ashley Williston.

“Council met with the negotiating committee at the beginning of the process and gave over-all direction of less than two per cent net differ-ence of taxation which was a total or combina-tion of benefit and wag-es,” Mayor Cook said.

The final agreement

did come in under that, Cook added.

“It was a difficult pro-cess, but we have a new collective agreement and will be posting this on the city’s website.”

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said the agree-ment is “excellent” for the workers and the management side.

In her report, Willis-ton outlined some ma-jor changes in the new agreement.

The lead hand dif-ferential rate increased from 80 cents to $1 an hour. The foreman dif-ferential rate increased from $2.65 to $3 per hour. A certified jour-neyman rate of $32.81 per hour was also added.

Boot Allowance in-creased from $150 per year to $200 per year with proof of purchase. The tool allowance in-creased to $250 a year with proof of purchase.

The city will elimi-nate the current sea-sonal labourer positions through attrition as the current incumbents va-cate these positions.

They will then be filled by students at 75 per cent of the labourer 1 rate.

Commencing May 1, 2014, a part time or sea-sonal employee who is temporarily laid off will only be able to bump into other part time or seasonal position, and the city will no longer pay for benefits during layoffs.

An employee who is called in to work shall receive a minimum of two hours of pay at the rate of double his/her straight time hourly rate. If the employee works more than two hours, the employee shall receive a mini-mum of four hours pay at a rate of double his/her straight time hourly rate.

The shift premium is increased from 75 cents to 85 cents, and the union will now have a generic pay direct pre-scription card. Sick day allotment will be in-creased from eight days to nine days with the ability to carry over two

days into the following year if all sick allotment was not used in the pre-vious year.

The core services memorandum of under-standing will remain as a memorandum of un-derstanding and again will expire with the col-lective agreement.

Our Viewpoint

Seems more like theft, to me

Helping kids with emotions

GD#6 has her “L” driv-er’s license. She is tak-ing driving lessons, but

my job is to take her on the trials runs. She actually does very well. I am the problem.

This is not a new game for me. I rode shotgun (many years ago) for all our sons when they were in the learning driver stage. They didn’t complain when I “put on” imagi-nary brakes (I think my right leg is still stiff) but they were upset

when I gasped. M y n e r v e s w e r e younger then.

I try very hard not to give GD advice, that’s a professional instructor’s job, and I don’t gasp, but I do find myself gripping the door every time we go around a corner.

***While our attention has been on

the provincial election, the Harper government has been up to some sleazies. While Defense Minister Peter MacKay is spending “mazil-lions” of dollars on war machines, travel, whatever he pleases, veter-ans of the war in Afghanistan are having to sue the government to get a just settlement for their war-inflicted injuries.

Then there are the three senators who collected thousands of dollars for living expenses they weren’t entitled to. Wouldn’t that be theft for anyone else? Or doesn’t it count if it’s just taxpayers being diddled? True, the trio have to pay the money back, but Mike Duffy seems to think he’s a hero because he did it voluntarily. Wow.

***This could be the last sum-

mer in B.C. for the Mars water bombers. The huge aircraft have been putting out wildfires in this province for 53 years, but ac-cording to reports from Victoria news media, because the historic aircraft also have contracts in the U.S., the provincial government decided they need a more con-sistent service to supplement our fire fighting.

Let’s hope this won’t be a case of not knowing what we’ve got ‘til it’s gone.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book au-thor.

I am lucky to have two sisters that I am close with. However, close doesn’t always mean we

see eye to eye. Last week my sister and I were disagreeing about poli-tics. I was so upset I couldn’t even finish the disagreement. Later that night I called my sister back and told her how surprised I was that I was unable to talk while feeling so upset.

I see similar reactions in my young children, aged three and six, when they are fighting.

The six-year old is taller and thinks faster than her younger broth-er. When they are fighting over a toy she can get her own way by putting it out of his reach. My three-year old’s response is to either hit his sis-ter or start screaming. I catch myself telling them to “use your words” but the reminder on its own doesn’t ac-tually help them to do so.

When emotions run high commu-nication is difficult — for both chil-dren and adults. When parents teach their children the language and skills to manage emotions, children grow into individuals who have bet-ter relationships at school, at home and at work.

Here are a few tips to help your children communicate about emo-tions:

Help toddlers learn the names of emotions (happy, sad, mad, tired, and scared). Talk about your own emotions and the emotions of char-acters in books and on TV.

Help children learn to regulate their own emotions. Show them how to take a few moments to breathe when emotions run high and how to come back when they are feeling calmer.

Give children the words instead of telling them to “use your words.” For example, you can say “Scott tell Suzie how you feel. Say ‘when you put the bear where I can’t reach it I feel mad. I want a turn.’”

Teach your children simple phras-es that help them talk about emo-tions. For example “I don’t like that” and “please do something differ-ent” are very useful during conflict. Older pre-schoolers and elementary school age children are very capable of explaining their feelings with the formula of “when you ‘blank’ I feel blank.’”

Calmly coaching children to com-municate in times of high emotion and modelling these skills yourself can help children become successful communicators.

No excuse not to voteIf the last time British Columbian voters went to

the polls is any indication, you’re just as likely not to cast a ballot in today’s provincial election as you are to mark your X.

In 2009 just 50 per cent of eligible voters in the province turned out at the polls to make their voice heard.

In fact, voter turnout has been declining steadily since 1983, when 70 per cent of eligible voters in B.C. exercised their franchise.

It’s not like voting is hard work.Short of knocking on your front door and stick-

ing a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient for resi-dents to vote.

Advance polls were open in and around Williams Lake from Wednesday until Saturday. Voters could also cast their ballot at their nearest electoral office.

It was even possible to vote by mail.Residents who won’t be in their electoral district

on voting day can vote in any other riding in the province.

And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there’s no guarantee that would in-crease voter participation in the province.

In Markham, Ontario, where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn’t increase.

But, it also didn’t decline.So really, there’s no excuse not to vote.Today, May 4 there are polling stations open in ev-

ery riding in the province, including Cariboo-Chilco-tin and Cariboo North, and they’re open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Make sure to do your part today and mark your X.- Black Press

We need democratic government

Editor:

Are we so short sighted that we cannot see real threats until our throats are being cut? Is democracy being replaced by the rise of plutoc-racy in the last 30 years? The butch-er knives are out.

In a democracy, shouldn’t we all share the costs of civilization justly? Aren’t the many being consumed by the few for pathological pursuit of profit, power, privilege and corpora-tocracy?

Should there be deception by the few to download costs onto the many, creating a “chasm” of income and wealth inequality, education in-equality, medical care inequality, po-litical inequality, and social security inequality?

Corporate tax cuts and tax cuts for the richest elite creates social, eco-nomic and political inequality while growing debt. It is about the enrich-ment of a few with the impoverish-ment of the many and isn’t sustain-able.

We need democratic government clearly in the service of social well-being for everyone everywhere.

Not so in a plutocracy whose concern is the well-being of the few power elite and the exploitation of the many non-elite everywhere.

Who is robbing who in the last 30 years? Social justice isn’t “simply” Robin Hood “robbing” the rich and giving to the poor.

We cannot maintain a democratic civilization for all the people without socially just and adequate taxes.

Turn a blind eye? Ignore gross social injustice? Out of sight, out of mind?

Exploitation of the non-elite by the elite or is it the non-elite exploit-ing the elite? Who wants to “win” your hearts and minds and for who’s benefit? Democracy is based on self-evidence that all human beings are created equal. We should not be forced into a competitive cut-throat anti-social race to become as un-equal as possible.

Fundamentally, is it democracy or plutocracy? For social justice for everyone everywhere, we need to stop anti-social exploitation.

Public health care system under attack by for-profitsEditor:

For more than 40 years I was a health science professional at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. I have ample knowledge about our health care system both on pro-fessional and personal levels. Since retiring, I spend the winters in Arizona.

I find my American friends always have a lot of questions about our medicare system. They envy us. We do not have huge de-

ductibles or policy limits.We are never excluded due to

pre-existing conditions. We all have health care, not just those who are lucky enough to be able to afford coverage.

Our system cost 50 per cent less than theirs and our outcomes are better.

Our public health care system has been under attack, however. Promoters of for-profit health care are on the offensive.

After a decade of deep cuts and

increasing privatization, British Columbia can not afford to con-tinue down the path to for-profit health care where care is avail-able only to those who can afford it.

Our universal healthcare sys-tem was instituted in 1962 by the NDP’s Tommy Douglas.

In 2004 he was voted, by a CBC poll, to be Canada’s great-est Canadian!

Are there challenges to the sys-tem? Absolutely. But there is also

a wealth of evidence-based pub-lic innovations that are address-ing those challenges.

All we need is the leadership from a pro-public health care government to scale those inno-vations up and make improve-ments where needed.

It is not in our best interests to continue the move towards an American style system.

Joan MageeWilliams Lake

Return to our Western Heritage rootsEditor:

With 92 per cent of the public against our city being the “Re-public of Life,” I urge city coun-cil to return to our Western Heri-tage which has stood us well for many years.

Keep in mind that same theme was created by many young tax-payers over the past many years.

We were proud of it and still are.

People in other areas of the province thought being the “Re-public” was a joke and said “you’re not serious.”

Of the many people I have contacted, some interesting com-ments arise, such as “our western theme reminds people of wide

open spaces and clean air, blue skies, a great place to bring up our children.

Good schools, our university, winter and summer recreation in abundance, a good hospital, af-fordable housing, a great place to work and play, and our world famous Williams Lake Stampede brings a lot of tourists to town.”

A good example of a Western Heritage city that has done well is Calgary.

Our city has grown from the strength of our resource indus-tries: logging, saw mills, mining and ranching with several thou-sand cattle sold per year.

These base industry jobs pro-vide a three-to-one ratio to other jobs for the community.

As I sat in that meeting at city hall with 100 people, I had the feeling the firm presenting the program “Republic” was from another world, suggesting it had looked at the strengths and the weakness of our city.

They emphasized that our weakness was being considered a “sawmill town” when it’s known that forestry, lumber and the mills have been a major part of our economic growth.

There is at least one firm in Williams Lake who could do a professional job of putting to-gether a DVD which could con-tain local photographs, data on all our industry, affordable housing and business opportunities.

This would describe in detail

what makes Williams Lake an outstanding place to live.

Businesses would be attract-ed by a shopping population of 50,000.

These DVDs could be duplicat-ed at a reasonable cost, sold at the tourist centre, or mailed to firms that would be interested in ex-panding to Williams Lake, a city, with all the amenities displayed in the DVD.

I hope council will reconsider and return to our Western Heri-tage or at least put it to referen-dum so that the majority of the public feel that they are involved.

Jim FraserWilliams Lake

Homework needs to be doneEditor:

Re-branding of the City of Wil-liams Lake has left a bitter taste in the mouths of many of the resi-dents of Williams Lake.

Somewhat similar to the 1987 Coca-Cola Company’s attempt to change the historic original for-mula of Coca-Cola with the intro-duction of what was called, New Coke.

A re-branding and market-ing attempt that failed miserably costing the Coca-Cola Company untold millions leading to a rein-troduction of Classic Coca-Cola.

If the city had done its home-work, residents could have en-joyed coming up with all kinds of new focus branding, leaving

the spending of the $40,000 to be spent on community infrastruc-ture.

Recalling the words of Bella Coola author Cliff Kopas in his book, Bella Coola, as represen-tative of the Bella Coola District Board of Trade attending the Highways and Tourist Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade in the early 1950s, as he listened to many representatives complain about roads and potholes in their districts.

When it was Cliff’s turn to speak he suggested that because Bella Coola did not have a road, possibly, all the potholes could be sent to Bella Coola and they could build a road out of them.

For $40,000 all the potholes in

Williams Lake should be gathered up and sent to the re-branding company for payment on account.

Re-branding should not be tak-en lightly, whether it be renaming Williams Lake’s high school from Columneetza, or the proposed re-branding the City of Williams Lake, care and attention to com-munity roots should not simply be cast aside, whether a student or a politician, homework needs to be done.

The following are my words in a letter to city council I wrote, July 27, 2004.

My opinion, regarding creating an environment of economic de-velopment, I argued at that time, “I believe we can do this by de-claring Williams Lake,” “Cana-

da’s Capital of Western Heritage.” Regarding Marketing, I bor-

rowed the words of author Ray Kinsella. “If you build it they will come.”

Kimberley, B.C., calls itself the “Bavarian City of the Rockies,” in recognition of its European heri-tage.

Williams Lake could have a slo-gan such as “Where the West Be-gins” or, “Land of Untamed Hori-zons,” or “Gateway to Adventure” or “Destination of Challenge.”

What is required is good mar-keting, selling and recognizing what makes the city and its envi-rons truly interesting and unique.

Canadian Police Week is dedicated to increasing community awareness and recognition of policing services while strengthening police-community ties. Police Week encourages community involvement and initiation activities through media awareness and community sponsored events.Police Week is governed by four speci� c objectives ~ to act as a vehicle in which to reinforce ties with the community; to honour police of� cers for the public safety and security they provide to their communities; to promote the work police do in their communities; and to inform the community about the police role in public safety and security.Building strong relationships is helping to keep our streets safe across Canada. In Williams Lake, numerous community groups have joined forces with the RCMP to promote safe streets and crime prevention.Currently in Williams Lake, we have a number Community Policing programs where volunteers work with the

detachment and the RCMP members to make Williams Lake a safer community to work, live and play.“There is no doubt that strong community ties help to � ght and prevent crime” stated Inspector Warren Brown, the Of� cer in charge of the Williams Lake RCMP.“We can’t expect these relationships to happen on their own. That is why Police Week is so important to happen in our community. We share our experiences and challenges with our community and not only learn what their priorities are but we also build a strong resources base of dedicated citizens who help keep our community safer.”It may be Citizens on Patrol completing a vehicle patrol, foot patrol or bicycle patrol in the community, the Mounted Citizen on Patrol out patrolling, or one of the many other organizations volunteers working in the community. We also have an active group of youth working with our Citizens on Patrol leader, Bob McIntosh as well as other members. This is a very positive program and rewarding for the youth that are involved.

It is not just the groups you see on the street, either, that help make a difference. We also have very active volunteers in the Restorative Justice, Circles of Strength, Violence Awareness and Prevention Committee, Crime Stoppers, Realty Watch and Operation Red Nose. Business Watch continues to be a great tool to communicate and share information with our valued business partners.Many of our local RCMP members and support staff volunteer their time being mentors, role models and coaches to the youth in our community to initiate and nurture developmental assets in the lives of our youth.For more information on how you can get involved in our community in Crime Prevention please contact Dave Dickson, the Community Safety Coordinator at 250-392- 8701.

Police WeekNATIONAL May 12-18, 2013

Williams Lake’s Tyler Povelof-skie will begin his junior hockey playing career as a member of the six-time national champion Vernon Vipers.

The Vipers, members of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL), announced Thursday they’d received commitment from Povelofskie for the 2013/14 season.

Povelofskie, 16, began his career in the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association, before spending his last two seasons with the Prince George Cougars of the BC Major Midget League.

“All I can say is that I am very excited to go down there and get the season started,” Povelofskie told the Tribune Monday. “I’m also looking forward to being part of such a great organization.”

In 36 games last season he scored 18 goals and 14 assists to go along with 87 penalty minutes.

“Tyler is a player that plays in all three zones and competes very hard,” said Vipers head coach Jason Williamson who, incidentally, is also a former Williams Lake resident.

“He also has tremendous char-acter and will fit very well into our dressing room.”

The Vipers won the RBC Cup ju-nior ‘A’ national title in 1990, 1991,

1996, 1999, 2009 and 2010.During the 2013/14 season, the

Vipers are slated to host the RBC Cup at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon.

Some similarities could be drawn between Povelofskie and William-son.

They both played through the ranks of the WLMHA and will, if all goes as scheduled, have been players on the Vipers.

Williamson then parlayed his ju-nior playing career into an assistant coaching position with the club, before moving on to take the head coaching job.

Then there was Chris Crowell — also originally from Williams Lake — who played with the Vipers from 2005 to 2009, including picking up an RBC Cup.

Now, Williamson said it’s Povelofskie’s turn.

“I’m from there, obviously,” Wil-liamson said. “And then I played in Vernon, was the captain there. Then we had Chris Crowell, and he was the captain, and now we’ll have Ty-

ler.”Williamson said it was Povelof-

skie’s intangibles that propelled the club’s decision to pursue him.

“He was a leader for that team [the Cougars] and I get a good feeling when I talk to him about, just about his character and the way he always puts the team first and I think that’s really important going into a cham-pionship season where we have a lot of team-first guys and Tyler’s defi-nitely that,” Williamson said.

As hosts of the RBC Cup the Vi-pers will automatically earn a berth to the tournament.

“Tyler’s definitely committed,” he said. “He went through the process ... He was very mature about the whole situation and we definitely pursued him hard.”

Public consultation on backyard hens and bees

The public is invited to provide feedback to the City of Williams Lake as it considers whether to amend bylaws to allow the keeping of hens and bees on single family and duplex residential properties. Throughout the legislative and consultation process, hens and bees bylaws will be considered separate.

Surveys on hens and bees that seek opinions on urban hen and beekeeping as well as feedback on some of the proposed regulations are available on the City’s website at www.williamslake.ca. Two public information sessions for each of hens and bees will also be held on the following dates:

Hens: June 11, 2013 – 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm and June 19, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm.

Bees: June 12, 2013 – 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm and June 17, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm.

The goal of these sessions is to provide as much information as possible so that residents who wish to provide feedback at the public hearing stage may do so by way of written submission or survey. A public hearing, as required pursuant to the Local Government Act, will be held near the end of the bylaw consideration processes, should Council decide to proceed to that point. The public hearing is the time to make submissions for and against a proposal.

E-mail submissions of questions are welcome at this stage. Residents are asked to separate comments on either beekeeping or hen keeping by sending messages to: [email protected] or [email protected].

Local bench presser sets Canadian powerlifting record at nationals

Williams Lake pow-erlifter Blair Fisher is once again a Canadian powerlifting record holder.

Fisher was in Cal-gary, Alta., May 4-5 for the Global Power-lifting Committee and Canadian Powerlifting Federation Canadian Championships com-peting in the bench press.

His first attempt was a 429-pound bench press, which was un-successful.

But, on Fisher’s second attempt, the 429 pounds went up smoothly.

Fisher’s third and final attempt was a successful 440-pound bench press, putting him first in his weight and age class.

With the 440-pound hoist Fisher also set a Canadian record, and with it a personal best.

The win qualifies Fisher for the World Powerlifting Congress World Competition coming up in Prague, Czech Republic, in October.

Fisher said it was a great meet with ap-proximately 150 lift-ers competing over the two-day event.

He added it was great to have an enthu-siastic audience at the meet, which he said added a lot of excite-ment to the event and helped competitors achieve their bests.

Fisher will now rest up, taking a small break before he begins training for the worlds.

Tammy Fisher photoWilliams Lake’s Blair Fisher competes at the GPC/CPF Canadian Championships in Calgary, Alta., May 4-5.

There was a full house and a great evening of eating entertain-ing for the sixth annual Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association Beef Bo-nanza Charity Dinner.

More than 80 guests paid $45 per person to enjoy the prime rib beef dinner, held at Oliver Street Bar and Grill, May 7.

The starter beef-course, a deli-cious teriyaki-marinated kebob was donated by Margett’s Meats while the entree beef, the prime rib, was donated by Save-On-Foods. Numerous other local businesses helped to sponsor the evening with donations of door prizes.

Oliver’s contributed by provid-ing the venue and keeping the ad-ditional meal-costs as low as pos-sible.

The proceeds from the event are directed to a different charity or cause annually.

This this year the funds will be directed to an equine assisted learning program, Horse M-Pow-ered, run by Jane Folka which in addition to providing training with horses to children who are well, provides specialized train-ing with horses for children with autism, learning disabilities, and youth with substance abuse prob-lems who are enrolled in a treat-ment program.

Among those in attendance were Cuyler Huffman and his wife Jenny from Riske Creek’s Deer Park Ranch/Cotton Ranch.

Cuyler was elected by the direc-tors and membership in February to serve a term as president of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Asso-ciation, taking over the position from Duncan Barnett who stepped down to run as a candidate in the provincial election.

Cuyler is the youngest CCA president in quite some time. Jenny also serves the association, as the CCA-secretary. The young

couple have three young children, so between family life, ranching and CCA meeting/business they have a full slate.

Cuyler, in his position as head of the association served as the MC for the evening.

Entertainers getting together because they genuinely love mak-ing music, then happily singing (playing) for their supper while supporting a worthy cause were musicians Hal Giles, Troy Forcier and Ken Emery.

Also, always happy to obligate and throw his hat into the mix for a charitable cause in his home-town, Frank Gleeson sat down at the microphone to recite some of his rapid-fire original cowboy po-etry.

This is third time Frank has do-nated his evening to the Cariboo Cattlemen for their Beef Bonanza fund-raising dinner and his poet-ry, loaded with western Cariboo-content which is delivered with his own unique twist of humour

and wry sense of timing, never fails to entertain.

The location of the microphone, and the fairly high level of noise in the Oliver Street Bar & Grill (the Vancouver Canucks were on screen in what was to be their fi-nal 2013 playoff game) made it a bit difficult for all of the guests to hear Frank well as he recited a newly written poem entitled; No Branding, No Republic for Me along with a couple of other clas-sic Frank Gleeson poems.

Hearing month highlights impor-tant issues for parents, families and communities.

“Communication is highly per-sonal for all ages from babies to se-niors, and that you can have issues where you need support,” she said.

“People need to know where they can access that support.”

Hearing and speaking are ways of ‘growing’ your language skills, Lundee says.

This May: speak well, hear well, live well

Hats offto the

Class of 2013!

Assessment and training available

“Those skills are im-portant in all kinds of development and in all aspects of life. So many people are affected by communication disor-ders, and identifying them is the first step in addressing them,” she said.

“A lot of times people associate speech with intelligence and person-ality.”

Wardlaw added that public awareness and understanding is very important when it comes to communica-tion barriers.

“Without public un-derstanding a person can feel very isolated,” she explained. “With-out awareness and un-derstanding they don’t just feel it: they are iso-lated.”

Young added that people can’t see hear-ing loss and they often don’t understand it.

“People with hearing loss have to listen hard-er and it’s a struggle, even with hearing aids.

“Two people can have the same level of hearing loss, but it will impact them very dif-ferently,” she said.

“Even a mild hearing loss isn’t mild in their lives.”

A child between birth and 19 years of age can get free support for speech, language and hearing.

Awmak said that early intervention is very important, and the younger the child is the bigger gain you usually see and the smoother the transition to school.

She added all Kin-dergarten students in the district are screened for speech and language and that pathologists work with the kids with the highest needs.

“Preschool screening is so important because the earlier the needs are identified, the sooner services can be put in place,” she said.

The group explained that if you have con-cerns about your pre-school child’s speech and language develop-ment, you can talk to the local Speech and Language Pathologist at Interior Health or at the Child Development

Centre, and that if you have concerns about your child’s hearing, you can speak to your local audiologist at In-terior Health.

Anybody can refer, and you do not need to see your doctor first. If your child is attending school and you have concerns about your child’s communication skills, you are encour-aged to speak to your child’s teacher.

Wardlaw said that when it comes to speech and language the family role is crucial.

“Talk and sing and play with children from birth,” she suggested.

“You and your baby use language, hearing and motor skills while creating a wonderful bond between you.”

“There is shortage of services for adults and families in our commu-nity,” Lundee said.

“The need is great. Autism is on the rise and takes up a lot of our case loads and we are short-handed,” she said.

There is currently a vacancy for a speech pathologist at the school district, she adds.

“Our community is unique and the areas we serve are huge,” said Young. “It’s the size of New Brunswick. We cover the Chilco-tin to Alexandria and Big Lake to 100 Mile House.”

One aspect of speech that these pathologists work with is articula-tion — forming sounds. Problems with articula-tion can be a result of permanent hearing loss, or fluctuating hearing loss that comes because of something like an ear infection.

Other conditions that affect articulation are a cleft palate or lip, dif-ficulty with muscle development — things that can be tied with language development.

The cases they work with can range from something like a minor lisp or a stutter to a child unable to speak without a computer. “Language is a simple system of how we communicate,” Wardlaw said.

“Without it we can’t communicate. It is car-ried in your brain and is connected to your

thoughts,” she ex-plained.

“Language can be separate from speech: it can be sign language, written language or body language.”

Interior Health and Child Development Centre speech and lan-guage pathologists see clients in their homes, at preschools and daycare centres, in the commu-nity and in their indi-vidual clinics.

School district pa-thologists see kids in their schools, and the Interior Health audiolo-gist sees clients at the health unit and does an early hearing program for newborns at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

They said that their work is very reward-ing — watching kids progress over time, and empowering families to help their own child.

“It’s very satisfying to see a child become verbal and able to con-nect with another per-son,” Hodder said, “and to watch the isolation come to an end.”

“I had one mom phone me two years af-ter we worked with her child to say thank you,” Wardlaw said.

Young added that it’s always amazing to see the incredible diversity in the kids she sees.

“Communication is

fun,” Lundee stated. “You come out of

a session with a child feeling energized. Sometimes kids say things that are so funny and it makes your day.

“‘Aha’ moments are precious and they do happen.”
