williams lake tribune, august 27, 2013

The final day of statements and presentations during the fed-eral review panel hearings for the proposed New Prosperity mine project took place on Friday at CJ’s Southwestern Grill.

The event began with singers and drummers in a procession along Highway 97, accompanied by RCMP vehicles.

After an opening statement by panel chair Bill Ross, the presen-tations started, beginning with Chief Ann Louie from the Wil-liams Lake Indian Band, Herb Nakada, Ramsey Hart from Mining Watch Canada, Craig Benjamin from Amnesty Inter-national and Philip Hochstein from Independent Contractors and Business Association of B.C.

Hochstein said he was at the event to voice support for the New Prosperity project. “Wealth-creation projects like this are the backbone of B.C.’s economy,” he said. “This project was a topic in the last provincial election –

there was positive and negative response to it and the ‘positive’ won by thousands of votes.”

He also said his industry will help Taseko “protect the envi-ronment,” that Gibraltar Mine has had a very positive impact on the area, with more than 90 per cent of its revenue staying “lo-cal” and that skilled trades train-ing would be a serious benefit for local workers.

Other presenters included Dr. John Meech from Share the Cari-boo Chilcotin Resources Society and Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, who said he is “very disappointed with government agencies for its obfuscation and fence-sitting,” and that there is a desperate need for the economic stimula-tion New Prosperity Mine would bring.

Chief Fred Robbins from the Esk’etemc Nation said that for the Esk’ememc, there is “nothing new about the New Prosperity project,” explaining that the is-sue is the transmission line cor-ridor proposed by Taseko, which

will directly impact sacred burial grounds, traditional pit house areas and prime hunting, fishing and gathering areas.

He explained that one of the reasons Taseko’s proposal was turned down last time is that the federal panel found the mine would have significant adverse impacts on aboriginal rights and titles, a decision he said was ap-plied to both the mine itself and the transmission line corridor.

“The panel said that these im-pacts could not be mitigated or accommodated,” he said, adding that the corridor is as important as the mine. “Without the electri-cal line, there won’t be much hap-pening at the mine,” he noted.

“Why should the new Pros-perity project be given a second chance when Taseko only both-ered to change the mine proposal and ignore the impacts to the Esk’etemc?

“These lands are the founda-tion of our people, our culture and our creation stories, and how our lands are used should be our decision,” Robbins continued.

“This will not be a one-time impact like Taseko says – it will be an impact every time an Esk’etemc goes out to hunt, to fish, to gather or to pray.”

Also on the agenda were Grand Chief Stewart Philip, Chief Bob Chamberlain, Coun-cillor Marilyn Baptiste, members of Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Dr. Marc Pinkoski, Leonard Doucette, Dennis Christianson, Mayor Kerry Cook, David Rich-ardson from Fish Lake Alliance, Jason Ryll from the Chamber of Commerce, Lorne Doerkson, Patricia Spencer, Ann Nich-olson from the Williams Lake chapter of Council of Canadi-ans, Frank Dobbs, Ervin Char-leyboy from Tsi Del Del, Jane Wellburn from Friends of the Nemaiah Valley, Karina Brino from the Mining Association of B.C., Dr. Bruce Stadfeld McIvor from Stswecem’c Xgat’tem, Jay Nelson, Tony Pearse and chiefs from Tsilhqot’in National Gov-ernment, Taseko Mines Ltd, and closing comments by the panel chair.

Police searchfor high risk offender

Vancouver police are asking for the public’s help in finding a 22-year-old Frisco Billyboy, a federal offender charged with sexual assault, robbery and uttering threats, who is wanted Canada-wide for being unlawfully at large after failing to return to his halfway house.

Police said Billyboy is considered violent, is a high-risk sexual offender, and has ties to both the Lower Mainland and Williams Lake.

Billyboy is described as being Aboriginal, five-foot-two and 145 pounds with green eyes and brown hair. Billyboy has tattoos of ‘West’ on his right forearm and ‘Side’ on his left forearm, and a skull on his upper-right arm.

Anyone who sees Billyboy or has information on his whereabouts is asked not to approach him and call 911.

WL traffic monitoring to be stepped upTraffic monitoring

will be stepped up in Williams Lake next week as children return to school.

Williams Lake RCMP and Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services, with the assistance of Speed Watch, Citizens on Patrol and ICBC will be out working in various locations, targeting school zones

for the week of Sept. 3-6, the RCMP reports.

“Safety in our school zones is of paramount importance to all of us, especially those families with children on the way to School,” say Insp. Warren Brown, RCMP officer in charge and Sgt. R. J. Verbree regional commander Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Service.

They say discussions have produced a model where there will be a three strikes and you are out style of enforcement. A warning sign will be placed at the beginning of the zone being worked, followed by the speed reader board being operated by speed watch members.

Any driver not in compliance with the

school zone speed af-ter these two attempts to slow them down will receive a violation tick-et from a uniformed police officer.

Police will also be looking for those driv-ers who insist on using their cell phones while driving, not wearing their seat-belts and

also those drivers not stopping for occupied crosswalks and passing school buses.

Fines for these offences range from $109. to $163.

Police are request-ing the public’s co-op-eration with safety in schools zones over this next school year.

Crd investigates medical marijuana zoning options

The Cariboo Re-gional District is inves-tigating zoning regula-tions to accommodate the growing of medical marijuana.

During their regular meeting Friday, Aug. 23, CRD directors asked staff to bring forward a text amend-ment to the zoning regulations to allow the accessory medical marijuana uses in in-

dustrial zones, reports the CRD. On June 10, the federal govern-ment announced a new regulation called the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR).

This legislation changes the way mari-juana can be legally grown in Canada for medical purposes.

The Health Cana-da’s Marijuana Medi-

cal Access Program (MMAP) which was introduced in 2001, al-lowed authorized per-sons to grow marijuana for their own medical purposes in their home.

There are currently over 30,000 authorized persons under this pro-gram.

This program and the authorizations are to expire on March 31, 2014.

UBc indian chiefs vice-president urges protection of wild salmon

Union of BC Indian Chiefs vice-president, Bob Chamberlin, told a gathering last week in the Chilcotin that the resilient Chilko sockeye salmon face a perilous danger from fish farms on the BC coast.

C h a m b e r l i n , who is chief of the Kw i k w a s u t ’ i nu x w Haxwa’mis First Na-tion of northern Van-couver Island and founder of the Wild Salmon Alliance, at-tended the Tsilhqot’in Nation Gathering Aug. 20 and 21 near Hanceville. He said fish farms in the Broughton Archipelago between Northern Vancouver Island and the main-

land of British Co-lumbia is inundated with fish farms that are spreading diseases like infectious salmon ane-mia to the wild salmon

stocks.“Infectious salmon

anemia is a virus that weakens the hearts of migrating salmon so they can’t make it

back to their spawning grounds,” Chamberlin said. He added that one of the key attributes of the Chilko sockeye is their strong hearts.

He said Chilko smolts making their way to the ocean, have to pass the Broughton Archipelago fish farms. Despite attempts by the

fish farm regulators to place the pens where they can be flushed by tidal waters, the small fish are helpless to swim against the tidal flows and are often swept right into contaminated waters.

In his effort to lobby against the proliferation of fish farms, Chamber-lin says he is continually faced with the deafness of government. He said one measure of his suc-cess is that the provin-cial government hasn’t allowed the number of fish farms to expand in recent years.

He said other coun-tries are putting the brakes on fish farming.

“I’ve been to Norway four or five times and they now ban fish farms in the national fjords.”

Chamberlin says his people of the Kw i k w a s u t ’ i nu x w Haxwa’mis First Na-tion at Gilford Island are fish eaters and clam diggers. He has worked tirelessly to bring the First Nations together to preserve the wild salmon stocks.

“The Fraser River First Nations are very receptive to supporting the Wild Salmon Al-liance. There are a lot of impacts like global warming, fish farms and habitat degrada-tion affecting our fish.”

Chamberlin asked, “What can we do dif-ferently to save wild salmon?”

Then he answered his own question: “We can continue to bring First Nations together.”

DFO steps up river patrolsfor Fraser sockeye poachers

Fisheries officers have doubled their patrols on the lower Fraser River to battle poachers who are il-legally catching threat-ened sockeye salmon to sell into the black market.

All fishing for sock-eye has been shut down in response to a low run size and dangerously high river temperatures to ensure as many of the salmon get upriver to spawn as possible.

But Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Herb Re-dekopp said the “full-out conservation clo-sure” hasn’t deterred illegal fishing on the river.

“Last night we ran into another group of poachers,” he said Friday, adding offi-cers made arrests and

seized illegally caught salmon, gear and a boat.

“That’s happened nightly in numerous groups and in different areas of the river.”

He said eight vessels had been seized as of Friday, along with 50 nets and 27 investiga-tions are in progress that have or are expect-ed to result in charges under the Fisheries Act.

The most intense il-legal fishing is happen-ing between Surrey and Spuzzum, in various hot spots around Agas-siz, Chilliwack and the Fraser Canyon.

He said poaching can be particularly lethal at the canyon, where salmon heading upriver use backeddies to rest and an illegal net dropped in can quickly pull up a full set.

Redekopp said DFO is using night vision

imaging, remote cam-eras, helicopters and other aircraft to detect probable poachers for interception on the ground.

“We’re using every bit of technology avail-able to us as well as intelligence that we’re gathering from the public.”

No commercial or recreational fishing for sockeye has been al-lowed this year.

Pent-up demand for sockeye has driven prices up and prompt-ed much more illegal fishing than in past years, he said.

“There’s a huge il-legal marketplace for black market salmon.”

Fishermen are get-ting about $20 a fish, Redekopp said, and some buyers are paying up to $50 each.

Some of the fish be-ing sold now may have been caught in aborigi-

nal food fisheries that were legally conducted earlier in the summer but are not authorized for sale.

Redekopp said many poachers busted on the river appear to have long criminal his-tories and may be fish-ing as a source of easy money to feed drug addictions.

The maximum pen-alty for illegal fishing is a $100,000 fine, along with forfeiture of gear, vessel or vehicle, and up to two years in jail.

Repeat offenders do sometimes get jail time, Redekopp said.

He said officers are also targeting peo-ple who buy illegally caught sockeye.

Fish sold out of the back of a truck or door-to-door are almost cer-tainly poached, he said, adding people should buy from a recognized commercial outlet.

Mountain biking in the Cariboo is front and centre on a billboard located at Britannia Beach, 10 kilometres south of Squamish, re-ports Cariboo Regional District media repre-sentative Shelly Burich.

Strategically placed in the Lower Mainland-Whistler corridor, this 10-foot by 20-foot bill-board is designed to catch the eye of moun-tain bikers heading to and from Whistler.

The billboard was erected this year, on July 29 and will remain up until the end of August, strategically placed to catch B.C. Day long weekend traffic as well as those travelling to and from Whistler’s 10th annual Crankworx Mountain Bike Festival.

This event attracts international riders and visitors, who travel this corridor to get to the event.

Not only does the billboard feature the sky berms, a visually stunning and extremely fun feature on one of Williams Lake’s more popular trails called Snakes and Ladders, but it is ridden by James Doerfling a local rider who has made a name on the international scene in events such as the Redbull Rampage. It is also no surprise that the photo was taken by local photog-rapher and mountain bike enthusiast, John Wellburn.

The Cariboo Chil-cotin Coast Tourism Association adminis-tered a grant from Des-tination BC (formerly Tourism BC) for this prominent advertise-ment and these funds were matched by the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Re-gional District (CRD).

“We see more and more mountain bik-ers coming to town and that stimulates our economy,” states Wil-liams Lake’s Mayor Kerry Cook. “It is important to support endeavours that bring people to the Cariboo.”

“The Cariboo has long been known in the mountain biking community as a pre-miere destination and we want to let every-one else know what we have to offer,” says CRD Central Cariboo Co-Chair Joan Sorley. “We take every oppor-tunity to work with our partners to promote the important resource that we have to share.”

The Cariboo Moun-tain Bike Consortium (CMBC) has been working with the CRD and the City of Wil-liams Lake for a num-ber of years to market the Cariboo as a must-ride region with easy access to an extensive and diverse trail net-work. “Not only are we seeing countless new faces on the trails,” says Justin Calof, Executive Director of the Consor-tium, “but we are seeing

people returning to dis-cover more of what this region has to offer.”

Williams Lake has been receiving provin-cial, national and inter-national attention as a mountain biking desti-nation.

The Peel Out and Pedal by the Puddle have been successful at

drawing out-of-town riders as has the re-opening of Snakes and Ladders. This summer, the Cariboo was the chosen destination for Mountain Biking BC’s 7-Day Giveaway 2013 contest. Riders from around the globe en-tered to win this contest which helped in build-

ing the reputation of riding in the region.

Ride the Cariboo is the buzz in the moun-tain bike community, and the Britannia Beach Billboard rein-forces the notion that Williams Lake is a must ride destination and the Shangri-La of moun-tain biking.

Billboard to promote local mountain biking

Gavin Lake, is the latest community in the Cariboo Chilcotin to develop a wheel-chair accessible wil-derness trail, reports the Cariboo Regional District.

It’s called the Gavin Lakeshore Trail and was built in partner-ship between the Cari-boo Regional District (CRD); the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development; Northern Develop-ment Initiative Trust; the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coali-tion, and the Gavin Lake Forest Education Society (GLFES).

Ongoing manage-ment of the site will be provided by the Gavin Lake Forest Education Society.

“The Cariboo Re-gional District is to be applauded for making accessible trails a pri-ority. For people with mobility issues, pro-viding accessibility is more than just creating smoother pathways. It’s about opening up opportunities to par-ticipate more fully in life. It’s wonderful to see this accessible trail project come together so close to my home in B.C.,” said Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

“Its completion rep-resents one of approxi-mately 14 accessible trail upgrades in the Cariboo region that we were pleased to sup-port with a grant of $401,250 through the Community Recre-ation Program.”

From the $401,250 Community Recre-ation Program grant awarded to Cariboo Regional District for the accessible trail up-grade projects, $26,500 was dedicated to Gavin Lakeshore Trail.

“I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the Gavin Lakeshore Trail,” stated CRD Electoral Area F Di-rector, Joan Sorley.

“This is the next step in making the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheel-chair accessible tour-ism destinations in the world. Projects such as the Gavin Lakeshore Trail show what can be

accomplished through regional collaboration and commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and visitors of all abilities.”

The wheelchair friendly trail is ap-proximately 365 metres long, but options to expand the trail by an-other 31 metres will be completed by the end of 2013.

The trail con-sists of an accessible boardwalk travers-ing through wetland along the shores of Gavin Lake, pictur-esque viewpoints, and an accessible bridge that crosses over Gavin Creek where it flows into Gavin Lake. Ac-cessible washrooms and benches have been placed in convenient locations along the route.

“The official trail opening is the comple-tion of a vision that started over two years ago,” stated Gavin Lake Forest Education Society Chair, John Stace-Smith.

“It will allow many more people from the adjacent communities to enjoy the beauty of Gavin Lake and take in the outdoor experi-ence in a self-guided, safe and enjoyable way. The trail construction has involved many volunteers and tremen-dous support from all sectors: governments, agencies, academia, corporations, individu-als and the GLFES board itself. ”

“Northern Develop-ment is proud to have provided financial sup-port for this project through our Commu-nity Halls and Recre-ation Facilities pro-gram,” said Northern Development Initia-tive Trust CEO Janine North.

“The development of these wheelchair accessible wilderness

trails means that more people will be able to enjoy this beautiful part of our province, which will increase rec-reation opportunities and visitor numbers to the area.”

“This is the kind of regional project that the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coali-tion is excited to be a part of,” stated CC-BAC Chair, Mayor Kerry Cook.

It is an excellent ex-ample of what can be accomplished when you have champions willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done, supported by partnerships that dem-onstrate cooperation and collaboration.

Projects such as the Gavin Lake Trail im-prove our communities by making our coun-tryside accessible to all, and enhance the visitor experience in the Cari-boo Chilcotin.”

The $30-million Community Recre-ation Program was developed to address the unique challenges faced by communities in the Province with re-spect to meeting their recreational infrastruc-ture needs.

The program invests

in local government capital projects that make communities healthier, more active places in which to live.

Through the dura-tion of the program, the B.C. government provided grants for 98 recreation projects throughout B.C. – to help fund everything from bike paths, trails, fitness facilities and walkways to play-grounds and recreation centres.

The CRD Board passed a resolution in 2006 to work to-wards developing the Cariboo Chilcotin as a world leader in ac-cessible outdoor rec-reation and tap into niche tourism markets for persons of low mo-bility.

Other wheelchair accessible sites within the CRD include Tat-layoko, Kersley, Cot-tonwood Historic Site, 108 Mile/Sepa Lakes, Lac La Hache and the Horsefly Salmon Spawning Trails.

There are currently 12 other accessible wilderness trails be-ing developed by the CRD, some of which were funded through the Community Recre-ation Program.

Two steps left in review

Join us for seniors open houseThere is a public informa-

tion meeting this Wednes-day, at city hall from 4

p.m. to 7:30 p.m. where we can learn all about the planned John-son Street/10th Avenue upgrades.

If I have it right, the upgrades are to accommodate the Ministry of Transportation’s plans to move the Highway 97 and Carson Drive intersection up the road to cross at Toop and 11th Avenue.

I’m curious to know what this is all about. A n d why is the meet-ing being held now w h e n m a n y

people are holidaying? What’s the rush? Couldn’t it wait until Sep-tember?

***Two steps left in the New Pros-

perity Mine review process. The panel recommendation, then Prime Minister Harper’s decision. The mainstream media has finally noticed that the issue isn’t First Nations versus everyone else, it’s between people who fear the mine will result in long-lasting damage to the land and water versus those who think the relatively short-term benefits are worth it. The First Nations happen to have the most to lose.

The Secretariat, especially the panel members, deserve a medal. I found sitting in on a few sessions as an observer was exhausting. Five weeks of sitting and keeping alert must have been brutal. What-ever they are paid, they all deserve every cent of it.

I thought the Taseko people got a bit tacky at the end and it wasn’t necessary.

In their summing up (as re-ported in the panel documents) they accused First Nations’ lead-ers of “orchestrating presenta-tions,” “manufacturing” oppo-sition to the mine, resulting in a “distorted” view of reality.

Horsefeathers. For one thing, maybe everyone doesn’t share Taseko’s view of reality. For an-other, Taseko, too, has done some persuading, dangling visions of Good Times before the eyes of those who want to believe. And don’t tell me the proponents did no orchestrating of presentations.

Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.

On Tuesday, Sept. 3, I’ll be holding a spe-cial open house for

seniors, together with MP Dick Harris, at my new constituency office in Quesnel.

The open house will taking place from 10 a.m. until noon, and my office is located at 644A

F r o n t Street.

This is a great c h a n c e for our s e n i o r s

to come out and discuss the is-sues that are important to them with their representatives from the federal and provincial gov-ernments.

I hope many of you will join us!

With people leading longer and healthier lives, seniors are one of the fastest growing de-mographic groups in our prov-ince.

They have needs which may be quite different from other segments of the population, and it’s important that all levels of government provide services that suit their needs.

Whether it’s providing hous-ing assistance, helping seniors live independently in their homes through programs such as Better at Home, or providing a voice for seniors through the appointment of a Seniors’ Ad-vocate, government has an im-portant role to play in meeting the needs of seniors.

The Open House for Seniors on September 3 is a great oppor-tunity to share your thoughts and ideas, as well as a chance to get to know your representa-tives in government.

MP Harris and I look for-ward to getting the chance to meet with all our local seniors that day, answering their ques-tions, and talking about the is-sues that are important to them.

Come on down and join us for the open house — I hope to see you there.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Min-ister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Reform should proceedFailed NDP leadership candidate Dana Lars-

en and his group Sensible BC are set to kick off their campaign next month to force a referendum on marijuana policy. Much like the ultimately successful Fight HST petition in 2010, Larsen hopes to use the Recall and Initiative Act to force an end to what he sees as archaic and draconian drug laws.

Specifically, Larsen and his group want to pro-hibit the use of police resources in B.C. to en-force drugs laws aimed at the possession and use of marijuana.

Larsen will need to get more than 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts to sign the petition in order to force a province-wide referendum on the issue. He’ll have 90 days to do it, beginning next month.

Larsen is no doubt emboldened by the success of the Fight HST campaign, not to mention the

recent move by Washington State to legalize rec-reational marijuana use there.

And the message is clear: Marijuana prohibi-tion does vastly more harm than good.

It’s a message that is increasingly finding an audience.

An Ipsos poll conducted last year found that 66 per cent of Canadians support the decriminal-ization of marijuana in small amounts. Twenty-five years ago, that number was just 39 per cent. It’s an encouraging trend.

Marijuana prohibition funds organized crime, wastes tax dollars, wastes police resources, and makes the drug easier for young people to obtain.

Larsen should be commended for going after an issue that most politicians are too afraid to touch. His message is one that deserves to be heard.

Oliver Street COlliSiOn hOldS up traffiC friday

Liz Twan photoThe strip of Oliver Street where Eighth Avenue South intersects at the traffic lights was the scene of a multi-vehicle incident Friday evening. Other motorists using the road (coming in to Williams Lake) were made to detour through the Boitanio Mall parking lot for a time. At the time of the accident it was raining and the glare of the sun through the rain was extremely bright for anyone traveling toward city-center from the Highway 97 intersection. In this photo the glare from the brilliant sun is glaring from the roof of one of the damaged vehicles. The Williams Lake RCMP, the ambulance service, the Williams Lake Fire Department and numerous first aid and rescue personnel were on hand. There were three police vehicles, a rescue vehicle, a fire truck and numerous First Aid and rescue personnel on hand.

Science of mine hearings certainly tells storyEditor:

In her letter to the panel con-ducting hearings into New Pros-perity Mine, MLA Donna Bar-nett characterizes many of us opposed to this make work proj-ect as “lobbyists opposed to ev-erything.”

As a research based organiza-tion, Friends of the Nemaiah Valley (FONV) is prepared to support thoughtful developments that respect Aboriginal values,

protect the environment, and pro-vide economic benefit to B.C.

Ms. Barnett also says that “sci-ence” should be the guiding factor in resource-based industry deci-sion making. We agree with this.

Unfortunately Ms. Barnett ei-ther does not understand the sci-ence that has been presented at the technical hearings, or choos-es to ignore the conclusions it has presented to the panel from highly trained scientists working for Fisheries and Oceans, Envi-

ronment Canada, Natural Re-sources Canada, The Provincial Ministry of Energy and Mines, and from independent fisheries and water quality experts hired by the Tsilhqot’in National Govern-ment.

All have concluded that water quality cannot be maintained and that Taseko’s system is either unlikely to or cannot work as de-signed.

She seems unaware, or doesn’t care, that independent reports

by Dr. Sue Senger, representing the St’at’imc First Nations, and by Wayne McCrory, RPBio., for Friends of the Nemaiah Valley, have stated that the endangered Chilcotin grizzly will be driven to extinction by the mine.

The science certainly appears to be unequivocal — this mine must not proceed.

We also believe critical exami-nation of the economic and busi-ness case for any development should also be part of an assess-

ment, not unthinking acceptance of typically wildly inflated figures put out by a proponent. We also understand that in the end “val-ues” will play a large role, as they must, in any decision.

New Prosperity failed to meet any of the tests we would apply to a development of this magnitude.

Flow of workers needs to continueEditor:

I owe a big apology to all those Canadians that fought in both world wars, that I forgot to men-tion in my last letter regarding this subject, I gave recognition to the 115,000 Canadians that died fighting to make and keep Cana-da a free and democratic country in both of these wars but forgot to mention the great number that also made sacrifices for those of us that today call Canada our home.

All the things that we today take

for granted, even the right to criti-cize our government, was freely given to us by the sacrifices made by these dedicated Canadians.

I would like to, at this time, for-mally recognize that in the First World War more than 600,000 Canadians and in the Second World War another one million Canadians’ sacrificed all that they had, some coming home terribly maimed suffering greatly for the rest of their lives with their inju-ries.

This is a debt that we should never forget, raising the question,

who owns Canada? Were these sacrifices made for a few, or were these sacrifices made for all Ca-nadians including those not yet born and those that have come to Canada’s shores to make Canada home.

From Vancouver Island to the distant shores of Newfoundland, from the 49th parallel almost to the North Pole, as the song says, this country belongs to you and me.

Our brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, mothers and fathers bought and paid for every square inch of

this country with the very blood of their bodies and the spirits of their souls.

Mr. Nakada says Canada has no democracy. Certainly Canada’s form of democracy has flaws. Per-fection comes as we each work to understand and contribute to the ever evolving process.

There are those who think Can-ada should reduce the number of immigrants into the county, or limit where they come from. Oth-ers say immigrants take jobs away.

Canada needs a substantial flow of people coming into this coun-

try to replace the retiring millions that are no longer paying taxes as workers, it is these collected taxes that helps pay for much of Cana-da’s social programs that so many Canadians are dependent on.

A growing country needs con-tinued economic development and progressive industries to sup-port the ever growing number of Canadians that depend upon the government for their very surviv-al.

Bella Bella’s only school broken into, vandalizedThe small commu-

nity of Bella Bella is in disbelief as to why someone would enter the community’s only school, and cause so much damage just days before school was to reopen, said RCMP Cst. Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer.

Smith said RCMP have confirmed that a lone male entered the school at approxi-mately 4 a.m. on Aug. 23 and once inside, the suspect went on a rampage and smashed TV’s, smart boards, computers, interior and exterior windows.

Paint was also found

dumped on the floors and computers.

“The damage sus-tained to the school was estimated at $100,000,” Smith said.

“The community is in shock and the chil-dren are visibly upset over this senseless act of violence.” The Bel-la Bella Community

school has been under-going construction (re-building) for the past year and was nearing completion.

The school houses grades kindergarten to grade 12 and has as many as 170 students and 56 staff members.

The investigation continues as police are

currently viewing the school’s video surveil-lance system in hopes of identifying the per-son responsible.

RCMP are asking anyone with informa-tion pertaining to this crime, to please con-tact the Bella Bella RCMP at (250) 957-2388.

The attack on the school occurred just weeks after a major fire on July 12 de-stroyed the local store and other businesses.

RCMP confirmed earlier that the July 12 structure fire was set by three young girls ages 13, 15 and 16, all from the commu-

nity who were arrested within hours of the ini-tial fire.

RCMP and fire in-vestigators will for-ward a report of their findings to the crown for their review, in order to determine whether charges against the girls are ap-propriate.

Road and sewer work to continue on South LakesideRoad sub-excavation

and the installation of storm water systems continued this week on the South Lakeside Drive upgrading proj-ect in Williams Lake.

Sub-excavation is the removal and re-placement of the road base material explains the Friday, Sept. 23 press release from the city.

Next week’s work schedule includes pav-ing from Hodgson Road to the Hub City auction on Sunday, Aug. 25 (weather per-mitting), as well as fur-ther road sub-excava-tion east of Hub City Auctions. Installation of the drainage system in the south ditch will be completed.

The public is re-minded that the por-tion of South Lake-side Drive between the Cariboo Adventist Academy and Hodg-son Road is a con-

struction area, and rough patches of road are to be expected.

The contractor is regularly working on grading and repairing rough areas, but pa-tience is requested be-cause the high volume of traffic causes road condition to deterio-rate quickly.

Motorists are also reminded to obey the posted 30 km/h speed limit. Traffic flow will be single-lane alternat-ing.

South Lakeside Drive will be repaved from Hodgson Road to the Cariboo Adven-tist Academy.

The merge lane from Hodgson Road will be extended to Pioneer Drive, and a pedes-trian/bike lane will be added from Hodgson Road to the Cariboo Adventist Academy.

Work on the project is expected to continue through September.

Police report: Aug. 26Vehiclesstolen

Police responded to a report of vehicles stolen from and damaged at Hy Test Timber/Newco Logging at 12:03 p.m. Aug. 25. The subse-quent investigation re-vealed three vehicles were stolen and four were broken into.

The vehicles were all parked in the area of Marwick Dr. and were taken between the hours of 2:30 p.m. Aug. 24 and 5 a.m. Aug. 25.

The three stolen ve-hicles are described as 1.) 2004 F-150 blue pickup, license plate DN6165; 2.) Grey 2008

Dodge Ram Mega cab pickup license plate EN0868, with a tidy tank in the bed; 3.) Greenish brown 2008 Dodge Ram Mega Cab license plate FH8709 with a tidy tank in the bed.

Four other vehicles that were in the park-ing lot. All had dam-age to the steering col-umn but nothing stolen from them. The theft and damage to vehicles is under investigation.

Anyone with in-formation is asked to contact the RCMP or Crimestoppers.distur-bances, driving etc., re-ports John Pilszek, op-erations support for the Williams Lake RCMP.

Cole Roberts scored twice and added an assist to help propel Windsor Plywood to its second consecutive Williams Lake Soccer League playoff championship Sat-urday at the Esler Soccer Complex.

In the ladies’ final Chelann Davis found the twine twice for Beamac to boost her club to a 4-1 win over Windsor Plywood.

Roberts, who was later named playoff MVP, opened the scoring early in the first half for Windsor, carrying the ball through a disor-ganized United Carpet defence to put his club up early.

United Carpet answered back minutes later when midfielder Sean Glanville was hauled down inside the box and connected for his first of three penalty kicks in the match to tie it at 1-1 heading in to the second half.

Windsor’s Nathan Zurak con-verted on a nice cross from Rob-erts to open the scoring in the sec-ond half, before Glanville, again, evened it up at 2-2.

Roberts put Windsor back on top after punching a loose ball past United Carpet keeper George Fraser on a goal-mouth scramble, before Greg Williams scored an unlikely game winner on a mis-judged clearing attempt from close to centre.

United Carpet would make it interesting, however. With time winding down United Carpet for-ward Grant Gustafson was fouled near Windsor’s goal line, setting up Glanville’s third penalty kick marker to put United Carpet down a goal.

Windsor keeper Aaron Zurak then thwarted off a frantic goal-mouth scramble with just minutes remaining to help his club hang on for the victory.

Windsor beat Celtic Engineer-ing, 5-1, in Thursday’s semifinal, while United Carpet shutout Wil-liams Lake FC 3-0 in its semifinal contest to advance to Saturday’s final. Curt Levens had the shutout in net for United Carpet.

On the ladies’ side Beamac scored four goals in the first half before Windsor found its stride.

Davis (2G), Courtney Strom (1G) and Marilyn Mayard (1G) all scored for Beamac, while Katie McMahen added the lone marker for Windsor Plywood. For her ef-forts Davis was named playoff MVP for Beamac, while Windsor’s MVP went to McMahen.

Saturday night teams converged at the Oliver Street Bar and Grill to present its year-end awards and dinner. Tom Wong, Windsor Ply-wood player and owner of Cari-bou Ski Source for Sports, gener-ously donated prizes for the award winners.

The Williams Lake Lakers performed what, up until Sunday, had not been achieved during this year’s Wil-liams Lake Slo-Pitch League season.

The Lakers beat the Williams Lake Row-dies, 15-11, along with capturing the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League Year End Tournament ‘A’ division champion-ship and handing the Rowdies their first loss of the season.

The win came on the heels of a blockbuster tilt earlier in the day that saw the Rowdies hang on for a 19-18 victory in the quar-terfinal. As a result, the Lakers battled past the Rookies to earn their final berth through the back side of the draw.

Kyler Hunik (2 HR) and Paul Grinder (1 HR) both had hot bats for the Lakers in the final.

The Lakers marched out to an early 6-0 lead and held on for the duration. The Row-dies tied the contest

at 7-7 in the fourth in-ning before the Lakers scored five runs in the fifth to run away with the contest.

In the ‘B’ division final it was the Ball Breakers knocking off the Bears, 18-11, to win their first slo-pitch title.

The ‘C’ division fi-nal saw the Brew Jays knock off the Fire-balls, 14-9.

And in the ‘D’ divi-sion it was Beer-O-Crats downing the Broke Millionaires, 15-4.

Thunder Mountain hosts memorial race

Thunder Mountain Speedway hosted its annual Memorial Race Saturday at the local raceway featur-ing local bone stock, pro-mini and street stock classes.

Fast times of the day went to Ques-nel’s Brian Zipser (bone stock), Arnie Kunka (street stock) and Marius Dunford, who set a new track record in the pro-mini class.

In the ‘A’ dash it was Quesnel’s Jason Howlett cruising to the checkered flag,

while Allen Roberts (pro-mini) and Kun-ka (street stock) each took their respective classes.

In the ‘B’ dash Quesnel’s Terry Bra-man took the win, while Darren Lennox raced to victory in the street stock division.

In the heat races Kunka and Dunford continued to lead the field. Kunka won in the street stock class, while Kunka claimed the checkered flag in the street stock divi-sion.

Quesnel’s Mark

Farnsworth raced to the win in the bone stock class.

And in the main event it was Zipser, Allen Roberts (pro-mini) — who gained enough points to take the lead in the pro-mini season points race — and TMS president Tim West-wick (street stock) winning their divi-sions.

Coming up next at TMS is the Day of Destruction, featur-ing the points final championships in all classes, a crash to

pass and a boat and trailer race Sept. 7. Racing gets under-way at 1 p.m. sharp.

Traditions shared at Tsilhqot’in gathering

The 22nd Annual Tsilhqot’in Nation Gathering, hosted Aug. 20-21 by the Yunesit’in community at the Chilcotin River Bridge near Hanceville, attracted hundreds of people from around the region.

Tl’etinqox Chief Joe Al-phonse, MC of the event, said the focus of the gathering held during the third week of Au-gust, is the traditional activities and games of the Tsilhqot’in people. The theme of the gath-ering this year was salmon.

“It’s a busy time of year where people are out berry picking, haying and catching fish, and it’s an opportunity for our members to get togeth-er and re-energize,” Alphonse said.

There were a number of spe-cial guests at the gathering. Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs vice-president Bob Chamber-lin spoke about the urgent need to protect wild salmon. Jill Setah recruited a number of volunteers and modeled her unique clothing creations she designed at the Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna. Patricia Pruim, a teacher at Yuniset’in School, had com-munity members display their quilts they laboriously sewed in the past year under her watch-ful instruction. Cecil Grinder, a youth worker and self-styled healer, built a sweat lodge and

conducted several sweats for young and old alike.

Other events included a tal-ent night of entertainment with performers ranging in age from nine to 90 years old, a lahal tournament, singles and dou-

bles horseshoe tournaments, archery, children’s games, and various competitions such as running races and a fishing derby.

To keep the gathering and the surrounding forest safe,

the Chilcotin Ravens Unit Crew from the BC Forest Ser-vice wildfire protection branch were on hand to help out as needed. They even brought along world-famous Smokey-the-Bear as a special delight to the children.

An important event on the second day of the gathering was the signing of an historic letter of understanding be-tween the Tsilhqot’in Nation and Interior Health Authority.

The signing by the six chiefs of the Tsilhqot’in communities and Rosanna McGregor rep-resenting the board of IHA, triggered the beginning of a process that will enable the Tsilhqot’in Nation to formally take over responsibilities for delivering its own health care from the federal government.

A dozen people performed in the talent show including 90-year-old Mabel Solomon who played three songs on her accordion.

Other performers included nine-year-old Greyson Lebel, who did a clown act telling jokes, musicians Sue and Jim Carlson, Geraldine Charley-boy, Isaac Myers, Helen Myers Haig-Brown, Joyce Quilt, Rich MacDonald, Sage Birchwa-ter, Joyce Cooper and Stanley Stump Sr.

A highlight of the gathering was the preparation of great food by the cooks and volun-teers.

Isaac Myers plays fiddle in the talent show that was part of the 22nd Annual Tsilhqot’in Nation Gathering.

Mabel Solomon performs on the accordion during the talent show events. Games such as lahal were also played.

Williams Lake author Stan Cowie recently published his first fiction novel The Boy, The Man.

Cowie was at sea off the coast of West Af-rica when the idea to write a book popped into his head.

“I was working as a fibre-optics technician and was on a tug boat off the coast of Ghana about nine years ago. I was sitting in my bunk on our piece of junk boat bobbing in the ocean when I picked up a pen and paper and started writing,” Cowie said. “If you would have told me the day before that I would write a book I’d of said ‘you’re out of your mind.’”

After writing the novel on pencil and paper Cowie threw the book in the corner where it would collect dust for years.

“The book just sat there for years until I finally took the time to type it out and then sought out an editor and publisher and so on,” Cowie said.

The book is about young James Gor-don Cowen who from his quiet farm home in the north of Scot-land, dreamed of more than just a life tending sheep.

When he’s offered the opportunity to join a Nantucket whaling crew, he signs on to set out for a new life.

On the journey, the young boy becomes a man as he experiences the worst the North Sea can throw at him.

He also comes to know the meaning of true friendship.

On board, he an a new friend dive into life on the high seas, riding out ferocious deep-water storms in pursuit of the whale harvest.

From the beauti-ful shores of Brazil to the mountains of New Caledonia, the crew battles the elements in search of their own goals.

Once in America, they find themselves in the middle of Mexican conflict while on a wagon train on the

Oregon Trail.They try their hands

at fur trapping and gold mining as they attempt to secure their share of the frontier’s bounty and do their best to avoid encounters with the dreaded Red Coats.

With hope the only thing that keeps them going some days, James and his companion clamber up out of a life of poverty to build new lives for their family in the New

Land.Through it all, their

friendship only grows deeper.

It’s all put to the test when they make the final push across the Great Divide. In the New World, they find that they must make their own fate.

The original book was more than 700 pages but publisher iUniverse was told to cut it down to around 500 pages.

The Boy, The Man

is 519 pages so readers should be prepared to give themselves a few weeks to read it.

The book is available locally at Save on Foods, The Book Bin and Open Book.It is also available at major outlets Barnes and noble and Chapter.

Cowie began working as an apprentice in the shipyards of his native Aberdeen at age 15. Two years later, he began a five year stint in the British Army.

In 1967, he immigrated to Canada, where he ended up working in Vernon, B.C. as a lineman with B.C. Hydro.

After taking a buyout package from Hydro Cowie was contracted out to places like Florida, California and as far as Egypt.

Seven years ago Stan and his wife Louella retired to the Cariboo, buying property at Springhouse.

The Cowies keep busy enjoying garden-ing, riding their two horses, and enjoying

their cats and dogs.Cowie says he was

first introduced to the Cariboo while working for B.C Hydro inspecting poles in the northern part of B.C.

He and his wife decided to retire here because the Vernon area where they lived was becoming too busy and congested.

Cowie says copies of his book have been sent to family and friends in Scotland.

“I had some pretty good comments an reports from bak home and these people are blatantly hones with me, if it was no good they’d tell me,” says Cowie who is working on a second novel.

Library scavenger hunt fun for kids

Mattias and Meikel Hagedorn, 5 and Marin Hagedorn, 9, were some of the chil-dren who enjoyed a unique treasure hunt at the Cariboo Re-gional

District Library on Friday afternoon, Aug. 23.

When asked ‘How many places are there to drop off books at the library?’ they an-swered ‘two!’

Kids answered ques-tions such as, ‘Do we have comics? Who is the children’s librar-ian? How many com-puters are in the li-brary? Can you find a book by Dr. Seuss? How many days do you get when you check out a book?’

All participants won great prizes, and after the hunt they enjoyed a wonderful story ‘Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus’ read by children’s librar-

ian Tracy Dunlop and some lively, fun music by Success by 6 com-munity coordinator LeRae Haynes.

It was also an op-portunity to say good-

bye to summer reading program coordinator Jenny Palmgren, who was an enthusiastic participant in the scav-enger hunt and the music event.
