williams lake tribune, june 04, 2013

Williams Lake is one of six mu-nicipalities that will participate in an audit of local government performance in managing polic-ing agreements and police budget oversight.

The audit is one of several an-nounced last Wednesday by Basia Ruta, B.C.’s auditor general for local government (AGLG).

They are the first performance audits the new office will under-take.

A number of considerations went into picking Williams Lake and the other five municipalities — Port Alberni, Surrey, Merritt, Victoria and New Westminster —for the policing agreement audits.

For municipalities that rely on policing service from the RCMP there are two types distinguished by the cost share agreements they have with the federal government.

“We picked two that were be-tween 5,000 and 15,000 and then we picked two that were greater than 15,000, and then we picked

two municipalities that have their own independent municipal po-lice departments,” Mark Tatchell, deputy auditor general, told the Tribune Friday.

The other factor was to ensure there was a geographical distribu-tion.

“That’s really how we got to picking those particular loca-tions,” he added.

They are performance, not fi-nancial audits, and it may turn out that some of the cities being audited are doing a great job of managing its policing agreements, Tatchell insisted.

Audits might also reveal areas where cities can contain costs or make some savings, information that would be valuable for mu-nicipalities.

“If there are municipalities that are doing an excellent job, that’s something we want to share with other municipalities.”

When asked to define “over-sight,” Tatchell said it’s being used in terms of governance to review the monetary reviewing of the po-licing budgets.

In February, the AGLG held an audit planning workshop with se-nior staff from local governments across the province and worked through a series of audit themes and topics.

“Representatives from local governments ranked the topics in terms of relevance, significance and risk,” Tatchell said. “Then we surveyed every local government in the province with 27 audit top-ics and they were asked to rank them.”

The ranking was not solely about risk either, but also about things that are important to local governments.

Director of finance for Wil-liams Lake Pat Higgins con-firmed that no one from Williams Lake participated in the planning workshop, however, 60 per cent of local governments, including Williams Lake, responded to a survey, which the AGLG consid-ered a “pretty good return.”

“We also conducted a media scan of local government issues over the last few years in the prov-ince and we received correspon-

dence from citizens,” Tatchell said.

They looked at relative legisla-tion and also received requests from local governments to con-duct audits.

“All of that went into identi-fying our audit themes. We had six broad themes and those were published in our service plan at the end of March and then the next step was to identify more specific audit topics.”

The topics, Tatchell added, are completely derived from local governments themselves.

“These have not been picked out of thin air.”

Policing costs for 2012 in Wil-liams Lake totalled $3.8 million, which represents 23 per cent of the total general fund operating budget.

“Three million was budgeted for the RCMP costs under the municipal police unit agreement. The remainder $800,000 was the city’s cost for operational sup-port, safer community program, victim services and watch clerks,” Higgins explained in an e-mail.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

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 pmand June 19, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

Bees: June 12, 2013, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pmand 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].

NEW PROJECT

Chamber hires new WorldHost trainer

The new World-Host trainer in Wil-liams Lake is Sherri Heraid. She replaces Pat Lingholt, who delivered the pro-gram for many years and has now retired.

After Heraid par-ticipated in the training by Master Trainer Suzanne she returned to obtain more hands-on expe-rience.

“Pat took the ini-tial lead in Sherri’s training and we are confident that she is going to do really

well in the commu-nity,” said Claudia Blair, executive di-rector, Williams Lake and District Cham-ber of Commerce.

WorldHost Train-ing Services was launched as the Su-perHostR program in 1985, offering cus-tomer service train-ing for EXPO ‘86 in B.C.

Since then, the program has ex-panded, evolved and rebranded to become the standard for cus-tomer service excel-lence in B.C., as well as an internationally recognized leader in

training for the tour-ism industry.

The program pro-vides affordable, relevant and qual-ity customer service training solutions for front-line staff and managers. Individu-als obtaining World-Host certification gain the skills and confidence required to excel at customer service.

“Everyone can ben-efit from this type of training, young folks looking for summer employment to se-niors who want to volunteer in Williams Lake,” Blair said.

TRU students share $50,000 in scholarships

Kevin Futcher appointed SD 27 secretary-treasurer

A total of 22 stu-dents will receive en-trance scholarships and awards towards post-secondary edu-cation at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake, reports Jacquie Johnston, lakecity campus mar-

keting and recruitment co-ordinator.

Two scholarships of $5,000 and 20 awards of $2,000 will be given out to local students during the secondary school graduations in June.

Successful appli-

cants were required to meet academic criteria as well as demonstrate leadership and service within their commu-nity.

The TRU Grit Com-mittee, a group of busi-ness professionals who champion the TRU

Williams Lake Cam-pus, raised $50,000 for scholarships and awards through two well-attended galas.

The money will be awarded to local stu-dents attending post-secondary education at the Williams Lake

TRU campus in the form of scholarships and awards.

For more informa-tion regarding the TRU Williams Lake scholarships and awards contact Jay Cheek at 250-392-2911.

Kevin Futcher has been selected as the new secretary treasurer for School District 27.

“Mr. Futcher brings a diverse background of experience and edu-cation to the position

of secretary-treasurer,” Superintendent Mark Thiessen said in an-nouncing the appoint-ment, Friday, May 31.

Futcher has been employed with SD 91 Nechako Lakes as as-

sistant secretary-trea-surer/controller.

Along with this ex-perience he has owned and managed a busi-ness in Smithers and has more than 20 years experience as an ac-

countant and control-ler working in the B.C. forest industry.

“Congratulations are extended to Kevin on his appointment,” Thiessen says. “His start date is yet to be

determined.”Futcher replaces

longtime secretary-treasurer Bonnie Roller who has taken a secretary-treasurer position with the Pent-icton school district.

A 45,000-gallon wa-ter tank reached its final destination at Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine north of Williams Lake early Friday.

The tank was being transported by a 240 ton payload MT 4400 haul truck and had come all the way from Wyoming.

The tank is approxi-mately 24 feet wide by 16 feet high, and much

larger than the original tank used on site that it will replace.

It’s the second water tank to be hauled to the mine by Taseko in a month.

On May 7 another 45,000 gallon tank was

mounted to a Terex MT 4400 haul truck at the mine site.

Once the new water trucks are put to work they will reduce the amount of time it takes to water active haul truck routes.

“This will not only improve productivity, but more importantly, reduce the dust onsite and improve safety,” Taseko-Gibraltar noted in an e-mail.

The tank was cus-tom built by Mine Rite

Technologies and will be installed in an old haul truck that has had the dump box removed.

On Thursday evening the tank was waiting at the truck turnout just north of Williams Lake, with its depar-

ture scheduled for 12:30 a.m. Friday morning. It was anticipated that it would arrive at the mine by 2 a.m.

Traffic was controlled at intervals to accom-modate the wide load’s transport.

Board to choose new name for combined secondary school tonight

The School District 27 board has called a special open meeting for tonight with one item on the agenda, fi-nalizing a name for the new combined second-ary school in Williams Lake.

Starting in Septem-ber the Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools will be operated as one school on two cam-puses.

During their regular meeting held in 100 Mile House May 28 the board decided on names for the individ-ual campuses.

Columneetza will become the Western

campus after the street on which it is located and for the prominent lakecity resident for which the street was originally named.

WLSS will become the Carson campus named for the street on which it is located and the lakecity resi-dent for whom the street was originally named.

Through a process of elimination which involved voting by a board sub-committee, and a survey of grades six to 12 students, su-perintendent Mark Thiessen says the board has narrowed the long list of names originally suggested by the public down to three finalists which

will be voted on to-night.

During the 100 Mile House meeting, he said the board also added another name of its own choosing to the list of final-ists. That name is Lake City Secondary which had not been previously suggested. Thiessen says the ra-tionale for the name is that Williams Lake has long been known as the Lake City since it has been developed around the shores of Williams Lake. The other two finalists are Cariboo Central Sec-ondary and Cariboo Crossroads Secondary.

The rationale for Crossroads signifies the intersection of the

highways in Williams Lake and that second-ary school students are considered to be at a crossroads in their lives.

The two present schools are also join-ing to become one school, which also sig-nifies that the district is at a crossroads.

The rationale for Cariboo Central Sec-ondary is that it is a regional name since Williams Lake is often seen to be the centre of the Cariboo be-tween 100 Mile House and Quesnel.

More than 30 names were originally sug-gested for the new m i d d l e / s e c o n d a r y school including keep-ing the former names

of Columneetza and WLSS or a combina-tion of the two names.

Some names on the original list of pub-lic submissions were funny or reflected the region and activities, names such as: Hog-warts; Hugwarts; Two Wolves; Stampeder’s; T’exelc; Prosperity, Cougar; Rushing Riv-er, River Valley, Valley Heights, Signal Point, Gold Dust; Rocky Point, Gold Trail, Taseko; Cariboo-Chilcotin Revival; and Rustlers.

Numerous names were submitted hon-ouring prominent community mem-bers, both living and late including: Rick Hansen, Carey Price,

Rudy Johnson, Mar-tin Hamm, William Turkel, William Pinch-beck, Faye Moore, Gabe Pinette, Hazel Huckvale, Chief Wil-liam and Anne Mack-enzie Stevenson.

Anne Stevenson is the name of a for-mer junior seondary school in Williams Lake which is now Thompson Rivers University.

Under the joint management structure for the new combined secondary school on two-campuses the Western campus will be primarily for grades 7, 8 and 9 students. The Carson campus will be primarily for grades 10, 11, and 12 students.

Starting in Septem-ber Grade 7 will be moved out of elemen-tary schools in the Williams Lake area and be relocated to the Western campus.

This means that for this September, during the transition phase, students now in grades 6 and 7 at local el-ementary schools will all be moving up to the Western campus start-ing in September.

An orientation session for Grade 6 students going into Grade 7 was held at the Western campus Monday evening. An orientation session for Grade 7 students go-ing into Grade 8 will be held at the Western campus tonight.

The RCMP rec-ognized community policing volunteers, a youth probation of-ficer, and some of its own employees at a ceremony held in Wil-liams Lake Thursday at city hall chambers.

Twenty-three peo-ple were honoured, including retired Sgt. Morris Monita, who received a 35-year certificate for service, and the late Auxiliary Const. Ed Moxey, whose certificate of appreciation was ac-cepted by his son, Danny Moxey.

“The award for Sgt. Monita accompanies his previously pre-sented long service in good conduct medal with gold class,” Staff Sgt. Major Doug Pack, North District Command explained.

Retired Corp. Lorne Lazzarotto presented Moxey’s award.

Moxey was one of the first auxiliary members Lazzarotto met.

“He started in 1963 and was with the first group of auxiliaries who served in Wil-liams Lake. His day job was working with the BC Forest Ser-vice as a radio tech-nician,” Lazzarotto said, adding after Moxey retired from being an auxiliary he also spent time volunteering in the RCMP guard room.

“I think Ed was the conscience of the force in Williams Lake,” he recalled. “We would discuss different situations and he would give us advice on how we should handle them.”

“I think the auxil-iary program really mushroomed in Wil-liams Lake,” he said, adding one spinoff is that Moxey’s grand daughter is an RCMP member in Prince George.

It was the first time the RCMP in Wil-liams Lake have held a recognition ceremo-ny.

Other recipients were: Derrick Strat-ton, Wayne Lucier,

Michael Lucas, Kelly Call, Andy Sulli-van, Bob McIntosh, Bobby Sunner, Rod-ney Hawkins, John Warkentin, Glenn Ford, Andy Walsh, Keith Jones, Robert Crosina, Craig Ken-nedy, Janet Moore, John Pilszek, Dave Dickson, Nancy Bris-sard, Const. Michelle Ballantyne, Const. Eric Black and Const. Dan Hay.

Pack said the awards recognized commitment and ser-vice.

“The awards are a way to say thank you and recognize service,” Pack said. “It’s a little way to give back to our membership and our volunteers. Long ser-vice medals are the country’s way of say-ing thank you and it does a lot to enhance the moral and build esprit de corps of an organization like our-selves.”

Mayor Kerry Cook congratulated the re-cipients as “unsung heroes.”

“I would like to ac-knowledge the lead-ership of Inspector Brown for planning this ceremony. It’s not every day that we get to join together as a community to acknowledge and say thank you.”

It takes a lot of dif-ferent people to make a community, she added.

Chief Superin-tendent Rod Booth, District Commander North District, said it was a great day for Williams Lake, B.C. and for Canada.

“It’s like chicken soup for my soul,” Booth said.

“Thanks for all you do,” he told the re-cipients.

Booth also ac-knowledges the con-tributions of families present.

“You’re the ones who live vicariously behind the scenes. You’re the ones who have to represent the family at missed oc-casions, birthday par-ties and other gather-ings.”

Families of auxilia-ries, RCMP members,

and volunteers are the ones who worry at home when a loved one goes out and puts themselves in harm’s way, especially at night when others are sleeping peacefully at home.

“For the regular members we all are assigned a regimen-tal number when we join the RCMP, it’s a unique special num-ber, and I’d liked to say the spouses and partners of our mem-bers are the members without regimental numbers,” Booth said.

He said he calls the auxiliary officers the “ultimate” volunteers because they go out and put themselves in harm’s way for free without sidearms.

“It’s like chicken soup for my soul coming out to events like these,” Booth added.

Insp. Warren Brown said the recipi-ents are all very wor-thy people.

“This is not an all-inclusive list. There were many people that we didn’t men-tion tonight that are an attribute to all that we do, but hopefully we’ll have more of these in the future.”

His detachment, he said, is comprised of “very keen and dedi-cated” young mem-bers who share a pas-sion for “doing the right thing.”

Guards often don’t

receive recognition for working in the windowless, hot and sweaty, “bowels of the detachment,” of-ten with very miser-

able people, Brown said, in reference to Warkentin who he said works in one of the “busiest cell blocks in the prov-

ince.”More than 100 peo-

ple volunteer with the community policing, Brown said, and of-ten go unnoticed.

“We have a robust group of employees, volunteers and people who are engaged in policing in this com-munity,” he added.

RCMP awards a first for Williams Lake: BrownMonica Lamb-Yorski

photoInspector Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment (fi fth from the left back row) hosted a ceremony at city hall Thursday, May 31. Twenty-three people received certifi cates of appreciation from Brown, recognizing their commitment either as volunteers or employees involved with policing in and around Williams Lake.

Someone has wrecked the pole and stolen the Cana-dian flag on top of Signal Point in Wil-liams Lake.

Murray McMillam lives below the point and installed the initial flag there four years ago.

He has replaced it a few times in the last while.

“I walk up there often and noticed the wind really blows up there and thought it would be a good place for a

flag,” McMillan said Sunday.

Three weeks ago he noticed the flag pole was bent over and the flag was gone.

He replaced it and within a week the same thing had hap-pened again.

Now he’s fabricat-ed a 16 foot metal pole, larger in diam-eter than the origi-nal one, but said he will need some help transporting it up to the top of the point.

Ken Walton lives below Signal Point as well, and since re-

tiring a few months ago, has been hiking up there daily.

He said he has no-ticed some damaged trees.

“Yesterday I saw where someone had actually shot at a

tree,” Walton said. “We need more peo-ple patrolling the area and keeping an eye on it or it’s go-ing to get to a point where the public won’t be allowed up there.”

Suspicious drug overdoses a concern

Provincial Health Office Dr. Perry Ken-dall has advised emer-gency physicians, first responders, and other health-care workers to be watchful for po-tential overdoses as-sociated with the drug fentanyl.

“Since 2011 there have been nine fen-tanyl-related deaths in the Interior Health re-gion, and one to date in 2013,” Dr. Kendall told the Tribune, al-though he did not want to specify any further where exactly those overdoses occurred.

Provincially the BC Coroners Service’s preliminary numbers suggest that there have been 23 deaths related to fentanyl in the first four months of 2013, as compared to 20 re-lated deaths in all of 2012. When fentanyl has been sold on the street in other juris-dictions, many people died from unexpected overdoses. During a 2006 fentanyl epidemic in Chicago, 342 people died.

“We haven’t put out

a warning specifically for fentanyl before,” Kendall said, but the concern is that it show-ing up more and more in overdoses.

“There has been concern for a couple of years about prescrip-tion drugs being di-verted onto the streets. There was a lot of con-cern of oxycodone be-ing diverted, especially in Ontario, and less so here in B.C.”

There were some stories of fentanyl be-ing diverted in other parts of Canada, but recently the Vancou-ver Police seized “sub-stantial quantities” of clandestinely illicitly produced fentanyl, he explained.

Fentanyl is “ex-tremely” stronger than heroin. If users are used to injecting a cer-tain amount of heroin powder and inject the same amount of fentanyl, they will be taking “many many” times the dosage nor-mally taken, hence the risk of overdose, Ken-dall explained.

“While the Provin-cial Health Officer al-ways advises against the use of illicit drugs,

people who do take il-licit drugs should not use alone, and should inject slowly.

“Call 9-1-1 at the first sign of distress, such as trouble breathing or loss of consciousness. People handling illicit

drugs should use ex-treme caution, as fen-tanyl can be absorbed through mucous mem-branes and can cause severe adverse reac-tions and even death,” a press release from the PHO’s office noted.

Our Viewpoint

Think of the fun

New tobacco marketing tricks addicts

A public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednes-day in council cham-

bers where, to quote Mayor Kerry Cook, “the purpose of branding, the process followed to date and next steps will be outlined.”

The public has been invited to participate in another survey. Whether the meeting will be a “we’ll listen to what you have to say” or a “we’ll tell you how it’s go-ing to be” remains to be seen.

My question is why council chose a regional brand when the city itself has so many attractions.

Few cit-ies have a lake on their d o o r -s t e p , and few our size

have a university. No council in my memory

has paid much attention to the lake, but hopefully the beach will be feces-free this summer.

The university is relatively new, and if we must change, why not be a university city? Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake Campus (TRU North) has a pro-gressive executive director, Dr. Ray Sanders; a state-of-the art build-ing; a top notch staff; and room to grow.

A university-centred commu-nity would be environmentally and economically sustainable, po-litically correct and would attract the young professionals council covets.

A group, TRU Grit, headed by local businessman Brian Garland, is promoting the university and has taken first steps by raising money for bursaries and scholar-ships.

The possibilities to move for-ward are exciting, and will prob-ably happen anyway, but commu-nity support would speed things up. A political champion or two wouldn’t hurt either.

Think of the fun we could have branding. “Williams Lake, Home of the TRU North,” or, “Come to Williams Lake for the TRU Story.” Or ... ?

Why all the kerfuffle over Sena-tor Mike Duffy and so little about the robo calls during the last feder-al election? Isn’t interference with the democratic election process as newsworthy as an alleged greedy-guts senator?

to World No Tobacco Day. This year’s theme was “Ban tobacco advertising, promotion and spon-sorship.”

Tobacco advertising bans aim to counteract the misleading in-formation used in marketing cam-paigns and also strive to prevent youth from being exposed to the lure of tobacco advertising.

Sadly, only six per cent of the world’s populations is protected from exposure to tobacco indus-try advertising tactics.

In Canada, the Tobacco Act aims to protect the health of Ca-nadians by regulating tobacco advertising, restricting access to tobacco products and increasing public awareness of the health hazards of using tobacco prod-ucts.

The Tobacco Products Label-ling Regulations require that tobacco product labels include health warning messages covering 75 per cent of the front and back of the packaging of cigarettes.

Health information messages such as “never quit trying to quit” are required to be included inside the packaging and a Canadian quit line number must also be pro-vided to link smokers with cessa-tion services in their province.

Because most tobacco users be-gin before the age of 14 it is impor-tant to ensure our youth are not exposed to tobacco promotions. The Tobacco Act prohibits tobac-co marketing directed at youth but despite this, the tobacco industry remains aggressive in promoting tobacco products to youth in new and clever ways.

Flavoured products and colour-ful packaging have recently been used to attract youth to tobacco products. Many youth equate these products to candy, rather than seeing them as harmful and addictive tobacco products.

Flavours appeal to kids because they reduce the unpleasant odour and disguise the bad taste of to-bacco.

Let’s support and drive national efforts to protect future genera-tions so they can live, work and play in a smoke free world.

Elect Senate or abolish itIn the minds of many Canadians, the purpose of

the Canadian Senate is a bit of a mystery.It’s a body that’s not elected, what it accomplishes

is less than clear, and news about it only erupts when politicians talk about reform, or more recently, when senators play fast and loose with the purse strings of taxpayers.

The original purpose of the Senate was to give a sober second thought to bills passed by elected Mem-bers of Parliament, and, according to its website, to bolster underrepresented groups, such as women, ab-original people and minorities.

As well intentioned as the Senate was when cre-ated in 1867, today the body is effectively a patronage system for the ruling party to reward loyal and often high-profile Canadians with prestigious well-paid jobs. A more cynical interpretation is the Senate acts as no more than a slush fund to carry out political favours. This week B.C. Premier Christy Clark reiter-ated her stance that the Senate should be abolished. She said if that’s not possible, B.C. will start electing its senators in an attempt to bring some validity to the

body which cost Canadians $106 million in 2012 (mi-nus the $90,000 paid back by senator Mike Duffy).

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long advocated reforming Senate terms and appointment procedures, or even doing away with it altogether. That hasn’t stopped Harper from appointing 56 Conservative senators (and two elected in Alberta) over his time in office.

If Parliament can’t abolish the Senate or it accepts that it has a reason to exist, change is desperately needed. Does it make sense that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have 10 senators each and Quebec has 24, while Alberta has six and B.C. has five?

For the Senate to have credibility, rather than act as a vehicle for patronage and self-serving party loyalty, each province should have an equal number of elected senators, perhaps two or four each.

Senators themselves should not be sitting silent, and should be seeking to reform an institution that has no accountability or credibility in terms of work-ing in the interests of Canadians.

Irresponsible adults at fault

Editor: I see the city is again flogging a

dying horse, the horse called re-branding.

The city has racked up a lot of money on this very sick crea-ture and now must attempt to keep the sucker pulling on the plow even if it requires giving re-branding mouth-to-mouth resus-citation.

Reading the city’s Step-Ahead advertising, Mayor Kerry Cook is explaining that the city is competing against other similar communities for the so called 30-something people that might be looking for a great, small town.

Williams Lake’s real western heritage is the reason many cur-rently live here, and the reason

many consider Williams Lake a great little town.

It’s the overall community per-sonality that counts, not face-lifts, it’s time to quit insulting the existing populace.

Rebranding is only a face-lift, astute people recognize that a face-lift may make things look and sound different.

However, behind the rebrand-ed façade Williams Lake is still the same former entity.

Come on, let’s get real, if we want to attract 30-something aged people to come and live in Williams Lake, we have to be talking employment opportuni-ties.

Borrowing the words of for-mer President George H.W. Bush, “Read my Lips” that’s em-ployment opportunities.

The city would be far better off spending money attracting industry, in conjunction with our local university.

Why are we not studying how to get more value from our nat-ural occurring forest products, high quality lumber and ply-wood comes from high quality raw material, what are we doing to improve this quality, can more be done?

Could we not as well, be studying how to improve our grasslands, where reducing the amount of water required, could save ranchers hundreds of thou-sands of dollars in watering costs, and infrastructure?

A little further out, both east and west there are available large un-capitalized deciduous forests.

Williams Lake’s central loca-

tion might possibly support an Oriented Strand Board, OSB, factory. A few years back Wil-liams Lake was considered for a Medium Density Board factory. Tourism is another local industry that could use developmental re-search.

An investment, and support of university research, rather than rebranding could lead to a much greater reward for Williams Lake.

Developing good research projects at our university will at-tract 30-something aged people but, as well, will help keep our young people living in Williams Lake and could lead to whole new industries, forget re-brand-ing.

Rebranding does not address employment opportunities

Editor:

You published a letter from Delores Perreault where she outlined her concern and sym-pathies with Jamie Haller and the brutality of the officer of the law who is being paid by us,

the general public, to uphold the law.

Was Delores a witness to the officer’s said brutal treatment of Jamie Haller?

Now there are two sides to every story. Incidents of alco-hol and drug abuse by children

under the legal age of 18 are the norm, not isolated incidents. It is the fault of irresponsible adults that the abuse of alcohol has mushroomed and that un-der 18 aged children end up in very dangerous situations.

We need to get to the bottom

of this and society’s destruction by a minority of lawless, greedy, money hungry, irresponsible destroyers of one great civiliza-tion.

Conservatives damaging to small businessEditor: MP Richard Harris talks a lot

about the federal budget, but he has been noticeably silent on its hidden tax increases on small business — so Liberal MPs are speaking up.

Small businesses and the peo-ple who work in them are the lifeblood of our communities — every year they create half of all new jobs in Canada and account for 40 per cent of our

GDP. Their success is critical to getting local economies moving again.

Yet in the budget, the Conser-vatives are hitting small busi-ness owners with a tax increase that will cost them more than $2.3 billion over the next five years.

The government is once again choosing to hike taxes — not lower them.

This comes on top of another Conservative hike to payroll

taxes — their third Employ-ment Insurance premium in-crease so far — charges that are literally a tax on hiring more workers.

The budget also risks under-mining rural entrepreneurs’ ac-cess to capital by raising taxes on credit unions, making it tougher for them to compete against the big banks.

All of these changes make it more expensive to own and run your own business.

As a former small business owner myself, I understand some of the challenges facing community shops, restaurants, cafes and other businesses.

That’s why Liberals want government to be a thoughtful advocate for small businesses — and not to hinder them by adding to their tax burden.

Joyce Murray, MPLiberal Party of Canada Critic for Small Business

Outdoor activities your new free gym

Sharing their locks to the power of three

It’s like having a free gym pass and a healthy environ-ment all in one, says Williams Lake En-vironmental Society air quality educator Tammy Keetch.

During National Environment Week, June 2 to 8, Keetch is encouraging residents in the Cariboo to lace up, oil that bike chain, carpool, take transit or work from home.

She also suggests people look for ways to share, shorten or change their com-mute so they can spend less time alone in a car.

“Be ‘in the know’ by carpooling with co-workers or friends,” she adds.

“Or take transit where you can final-ly finish that novel, clean out your inbox, or make a new friend. By walking or riding your bike to work, your commute can be your new (free) gym.”

Motor vehicles cre-ate more air pollution

than any other single human activity, she adds.

“In Williams Lake the air pollutant of special concern for our health is called particulate matter (PM 2.5 & 10) of which vehicle exhaust is a contributor.”

If everyone in Can-ada chose an envi-ronmentally friendly form of transporta-tion one day a week, vehicle emissions would be reduced by 20 per cent.

Using active trans-portation is one way to help keep our air clean.

Keetch lists several ways that workers can take part in a com-muter challenge.

In many cities across Canada there are friendly compe-titions through the week or on Clean Air Day, June 5.

People can sign on at www.commuter-challenge.ca to re-cord sustainable commute(s).

The website will

calculate emission reduction impacts, calorie consumption, distance, and fuel cost savings.

In 2011, the Cana-dian Automobile As-sociation estimated that driving 18,000 km per year costs an average of $8,441.25 or 46.9 cents per ki-lometre for a Cobalt LT.

It is also estimated that transportation-related emissions will cost the health care system $11 billion to $38 billion between 1997 and 2020, pre-dicted the Transpor-tation Association of Canada in 1998.

Keetch says it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

“Focus on how good you will feel if you do walk or ride. Find a bike buddy near you. Bike to work or ride on the weekends. Make a goal to ride to work once a week, or if that’s too far, to run easy errands by bike or foot.”

When eight-year-old Elizabeth Van Immerzeel told her mom she might like to get her long hair cut, mom Cheryl thought perhaps her daughter could donate her hair to a cause.

After doing some re-search, Cheryl discov-ered Wigs for Kids BC, and learned donations of hair can be used to make wigs for children dealing with cancer.

“I told Elizabeth that sometimes chil-dren lose hair when be-ing treated for cancer,” Cheryl said.

Once Elizabeth com-mitted, Cheryl decided she’d donate her hair, and then little sister Zadie-Lynn, 3, piped up she wanted her hair cut too.

Normally wigs cost about $2,000 each to

make, however, if hair is donated, it can bring the cost down to as low as $800.

The Van Immerzeels have been fundraising in their neighbour-hood at Miocene, and have raised almost

$800, but because be-tween the three of them they will have quite a bit, they are hoping to raise enough for two wigs.

Smiling Cheryl said her husband has never seen her with short

hair.On Tuesday Cheryl

made appointments for them on June 6, and said Zone 4 in Wil-

liams Lake is donating the cuts.

The wigs are made in Vancouver at Eva’s Wigs, said Wigs for Kids BC chairperson Bev Friesen.

When a child loses hair to cancer or other serious illnesses and chooses to get a wig, Eva’s will measure the child’s head and dis-cuss length and colour.

It usually takes about four weeks to make the wig. The wigs are paid for through the fund-raising efforts of Wigs for Kids.

Wigs for Kids start-ed in 2006 when some good friends got to-gether and realized they had a common goal.

It is a “stand alone” program out of BC Children’s Hospital,

run by volunteers with no overhead costs, Friesen said, adding 100 per cent of funds raised go to help these kids and their families.

“Besides providing wigs for kids through-out BC we also help families with the costs of feeding supplies and certain meds not

covered by the govern-ment. We have helped over 500 kids and their families since we started the program in 2006.”

Cheryl said if any-one in the community wants to donate, she will be accepting do-nations for a few more weeks.

For most people, owning five cars of any variety would prob-ably be considered overkill.

For the father, son racing tan-dem of Trevor Seibert and Ryley Seibert, 21 — who are both rac-ing in the nationwide NASCAR Canadian Tire Series — that’s just another day in paradise.

“In our garage right now we’ve got my dad’s oval car and his road course car, then we have my oval car and my road course car, then I have my ASA OK Tire Sports-man Series car,” Ryley said. “It [NASCAR Canadian Tire Series] takes a lot of attention, so it gets attention. We have five cars in our stable right now.”

Trevor and Ryley are coming off the first event of the NAS-CAR Canadian Tire Series, the Vortex Brake Pads 200, at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, Ont., May 19.

There, Trevor cracked the top 10 in ninth, while Ryley finished 11th out of 28 cars.

“It was awesome,” Ryley said. “It’s probably the fastest track in Canada and probably one of the most legendary, scary tracks. It’s got big elevation changes, it’s scary. Turn two is one of the most famous turns in all of mo-tor sports because it’s blind, it’s downhill, it’s off camber and it’s really fast so it was a cool experi-

ence.”Ryley raced one event in the

NASCAR Canadian Tire Series in 2011 and four more the follow-ing year. This year he plans to race seven — his busiest season yet.

“You have to run more than four races in a year to no longer be a rookie,” Ryley said. “So this is my rookie contention year, and I want to win rookie of the year.”

“I’ve got a good lead on the other rookie after the first race, so I’m in pretty good shape so far.”

He said both his cars and his dad’s cars are better suited for making a run at the podium this year.

“I’m definitely more confident,” Ryley said. “A couple years ago we knew my equipment I was in was lacking so I just went out and got used to running with those kinds of cars and those guys but as far as this year goes I’m fairly confident in my skills and my

abilities and we’ve stepped up our program with our equipment and I think I’m in line to podium or even win a race this year so hope-fully we get that done.”

Having his dad around for all those years to teach him the ins and outs of the mechanical side of the sport has also paid divi-dends, he said.

“We’re teammates so it’s nice to have somebody with that much experience ready to talk about driving and stuff like that,” Ry-ley said. “We kind of started at the same time. He’d retired for a while then bought his own team and that same year we bought my street stock and I started racing in Williams Lake.”

Ryley joined as a member of his dad’s pit crew that year just as he was building his own street stock car.

“Over the years I’ve gone through the levels and caught up

to him here where we’re at now,” Ryley said. “The bonus I have is I’ve been working on these cars since 2007 now so I know them in and out and I know the setup and I’m fluent in all of that.

“The information I like to get from him is driving techniques, driving lines, driving information and things like that. I’ve even been known to help him out a time or two with his stuff in his car giv-ing him advice so, I think, maybe he’s as little surprised by that. He always had the mentality that I wasn’t going to be one of those spoiled kids that just got to get in a car and go. I needed to learn the mechanics, I needed to work on it.

“It turned out it’s been a huge benefit to know how to build your own car.”

Aside from attempting to win rookie of the year Ryley has also set his sights on picking up a po-dium finish and garnering the checkered flag in each race he competes at. He’s also racing in a few select events of the ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series. His last event in Williams Lake May 25 saw Ryley finish seventh; however, a timing error lowered his result.

“It’s my busiest season so far,” he said. “I’ll be travelling all over Canada and B.C. with this year’s racing program.”

Coming up next for the father, son duo is the EMCO 200 at the Delaware Speedway in Delaware, Ont. June 15.

Five members of Wil-liams Lake’s Shogun Martial Arts Academy recently represented Team B.C. in Ottawa at the World Karate and Kickboxing Council National Champion-ships.

Macy Lainchbury, Tanna Lauriente, Trac-ey Beauchamp, Kurtis Olson and Jaime Lum-bria qualified to repre-sent the team joining many of the top martial artists from around the country May 17-19 at the tournament, each competing in various events and weight class-es.

Tanna, 16, earned two bronze medals in both continuous and point fighting, qualify-ing her for the WKC World Championships in Italy in October.

“Other competitors came up to us and said they couldn’t believe how much she had im-proved last year,” said WLSMA Sensei Lee-Ann Lainchbury. “She was impressive.”

Macy, 11, competed in point fighting, fin-ishing sixth. Macy was also named as an alter-nate to Team Canada for the upcoming world championships.

For Olson, 15, a cou-ple close decisions went against him in continu-ous fighting, Lee-Ann said.

“[Sensei] Sheldon (Lainchbury) and I both thought he scored enough points to win both of his fights,” Lee-Ann said. “But un-fortunately the judges called it the other way.”

Jaime picked up a bronze medal in point fighting, earning him a spot at worlds.

“He is a Shogun adoptee as he was not actually a member of our club before nation-als,” Lee-Ann said. “But he is from the Williams Lake area and qualified at provincials.”

Tracey, 18, was

awarded two gold med-als — one in continuous fighting and another in point fighting. Un-fortunately for Tracey, Lee-Ann said, the wins were uncontested as no one entered in the class.

Tracey also finished seventh in kata.

“She did really well

for competing at her first nationals,” Lee-Ann said.

The martial arts academy said it would like to thank its spon-sors Dairy Queen and Windsor Plywood, and everyone else who sup-ported its fundraisers leading up to nationals.

On June 23 cyclists in 14 communities in B.C. will come together to ‘Ride Don’t Hide.’

Inspired by Michael Schratter — a Van-couver school teach-ing living with bipolar disorder who, in 2010, cycled 40,000 kilome-tres around the globe raising $100,000 for the Canadian Mental Health Association — Ride Don’t Hide aims

to support better men-tal health for women and families.

CMHA branches across the province have pledged to recruit more than 7,000 cyclists and raise $400,000 for mental health pro-grams on June 23, when riders in Williams Lake can meet for a scenic ride along the Williams Lake River Valley Trail.

“Locally we’re try-ing to raise $15,000,” said Darlene Doskoch, manager of employ-

ment and social pro-grams for the CMHA - Cariboo Chilcotin Branch. “All of that money stays here in CMHA in our com-munity, so it will go towards programs that support women and their families.”

This is the first year the Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide event is being held in different locations across the province. Last year’s inaugural event was hosted in

Vancouver.Trevor Barnes, ex-

ecutive director of the CMHACCB, said the ride is completely non-competitive and will accommodate all riders and levels of skill. He added he hopes many individuals and fami-lies come enjoy a ride throughout the day.

“We’re going to start at the bottom parking lot in the River Valley,” Barnes said. “It’s close to a 10-kilometre round trip to the [Fraser] river

and back, but that said people can go as far or as short of a distance as they want.

“We’ll have a smaller run there for the young-er children and families. And we’ll have stations on the trail.”

Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, another one of the event’s spon-sors, will have a shop setup on site to help anyone having bike problems. There will also be a food vendor and other associations

on hand.Registration is avail-

able online at www.rid-edonthide.com.

Ride Don’t Hide for CMHA this June 23

Greg Sabatino photoStaff from Shoppers Drug Mart, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook and representatives from the CMHACCB hosted a media launch for its upcoming Ride Don’t Hide bike ride coming up June 23.

Hearing loss has been called an invisible disability because it is not easily identified as a per-son in a wheelchair, or a blind person with a cane.

A 2002 study stated that more than one million adults across Canada indicated they had a hearing loss.

It has been suggested that the number could be closer to $3 million because many people are reluctant to admit they have hearing difficulties and don’t seek help or don’t know where to go.

Some people are also un-aware they have hearing loss, until family or friends tell them.

It has been reported that 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 65 have a hearing loss, and it is considered the fast-est growing disability in North America.

Hearing loss can be unilat-eral (one ear) or bilateral (both ears), and levels range from minimal, mild, moderate, severe or profound, or a combination of these levels.

Exposure to noise causes per-manent hearing loss; and mid-dle ear problems, such as fluid in the middle ear, causes hear-ing loss that is usually resolved with medical treatment.

Williams Lake and area resi-dents are fortunate to have a full-time audiologist at Interior Health who works with chil-dren birth to 19 years of age, and three private hearing clinics in our area have providers who work with adults.

Since 2007, B.C. babies have hearing screened before they leave the hospital or rural clin-ic, or shortly after.

Early identification of hear-ing loss and prompt fitting with hearing aids, if required, great-ly reduces the debilitating ef-fects on language development and communication.

Helen Keller has been quoted as saying, “Blindness separates us from things but deafness sep-arates us from people.”

Parents of a child with a pro-found hearing loss require time-ly support and counselling to decide on a choice of language: sign language or oral language with hearing aids or a cochlear implant.

Few supports for people who communicate with sign language are available in rural areas of B.C., and some local parents have chosen to send their children to the BC School for the Deaf in Burnaby, where

they spend the school week, and return to their homes every weekend and holiday.

Some parents of children in School District 27 have decided on oral education for their chil-dren with cochlear implants.

The Cochlear Implant Cen-tre at BC Children’s Hospital is currently celebrating its 25 year anniversary.

Since 1988, 300 children in B.C. have received cochlear im-plants.

Children with cochlear im-plants, such as WLSS Grade 8 student Jakob Larmand, are doing well in their local schools, with support from outstanding teachers and staff.

Barbara Doedel is a School District 27 teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Hearing loss: the invisible disability Barb Doedel Special to The Tribune

Photos submittedStudent Jakob Larmand wearing his cochlear implant, a modern day miracle device that allows him to hear.

Hearing loss can present great challenges in employment, especially when sign language is the primary mode of communication. In recognition of Social Planning and Research Council of B.C.’s June 1 Access Awareness Day, Pioneer Log Homes, Soda Creek Division, was commended for their actions in enabling employment for Steve Coombes,a who is deaf, by sponsoring 18 employees to attend a sign language course in 2006. Coombes is still employed by Pioneer Log Homes and has continued to teach sign language to co-workers. Beat Schwaller at Pioneer reported that 12 newer employees are learning sign, and they are signing to each other, even when Steve isn’t around, and it’s too noisy to hear each other.

UNBC offers First Nations literature course in WL

Dr. Blanca Schorcht from the University of Northern British Columbia is at School District 27 head-quarters teaching an English literature 120 course to a full class.

It’s a course on Ca-nadian First Nations literature, and she explained that most of the students are taking the course as part of the Tsilhqot’n National Government language and culture program.

“It’s a full three-

credit academic course,” Schorcht said. “These students need to take at least two English courses as part of their First Nations diploma be-cause it’s required by the teacher regulation branch if they want to go into language teaching later.

“This is the second time the course has been offered in Wil-liams Lake. We did it through the ‘weekend university’ a few years back. In this format it’s condensed to six weeks.”

Two of the students

are working on a full degree program, and the rest are working on a two-year diplo-ma. “The diploma stu-dents can ‘ladder’ to a full degree program at any time with what they’ve taken here,” Schorcht added.

This is the halfway

point of the course, which features First Nations authors – po-etry, short stories, per-sonal narratives and novels. “This class is awesome,” one stu-dent said. “Right now we’re working on po-etry and personal nar-rative.”
