HST era comes toan end

The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a last-minute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provin-cial sales tax.

About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business.

The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to ad-minister two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST.

A UNIQUE EASTER BOUQUET LeRae Haynes photo

Levi, Autumn and Hailey Weir are pictured here with a beautiful Easter vegetable ‘bouquet’ that their mom Michelle brought to a birthday potluck that welcomed approximately 80 people at the Legion on Saturday. “She works at a fl ower shop so she knows how to do it,” Autumn said. The party was for Legion members, friends and residents who turned 70 this year, and their families. Hailey explained that her favourite thing on the menu was cucumbers, but Levi stated in no uncertain terms that the best thing was the perogies. See page A16 for the story.

Review panel wants more information

A second deficiency statement has been issued to Taseko Mines from the New Prosperity Gold Copper Mine federal review pan-el. A letter from the panel, dated March 28 states that additional in-formation is required from Taseko Mines to fulfill the requirements of the Environmental Impact State-ment (EIS) guidelines.

Brian Battison, vice-president of corporate affairs for Taseko Mines, said that the letter was no surprise.

“This is an expected course for a review panel process; to have just one round of IR (information re-quests) would have been unusual,” he stated. “Two or more is normal.”

He said that the panel is seeking supplemental information about 11 questions.

“This is typical. If you look at the questions, there are a number of consultants and experts who will be

examining them — a variety of ex-perts in a variety of fields,” he said. “We can create a new model based on existing information or get new information based on new tests.”

The letter states that the infor-mation requested is necessary for the panel to determine if the EIS is sufficient to proceed to the public hearing.

The panel notes a discrepancy between Taseko and NRCan (Natu-ral Resources of Canada) concern-ing interpretation of 1994 pump test well data, and has identified two ways for Taseko to resolve the difference. They can either conduct additional pump tests and mod-eling, or provide new modeling based on 1994 data.

Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) Chief Roger William has been involved with this issue since the early 1990s, and said he frustrated but not surprised.

“I’ve been dealing with them as a chief and through the TNG and

now as chief again, for 20 years. This is inside the title case area going to the Supreme Court this coming November,” he stated. “They’ve shown their true colours and they are wasting their time.”

Taseko is strongly encouraged to consult with NRCan and the Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) if it decides to conduct a field program, and the letter states that the TNG has said that it has never objected to Taseko carrying out site investigations of this sort.

“The letter may state that TNG says it has never objected to our carrying out site investigations,” Battison continued, “but the last time we went out there to do so they certainly did object.”

“We don’t object to their collect-ing data, but we have to be part of it,” said Tl’etingox-t’in (Anaham) Chief Joe Alphonse. “If they’re going to do that on their own, we don’t accept that. It has to go through government and we will be

involved - it’s our way or the high-way.”

The panel said that many of Taseko’s responses to their requests for information involve “adaptive management with details to be de-veloped at the regulatory phase,” and that for routine matters, that is appropriate.

It was also stated, however, that when environment effects may re-sult in significant adverse effects, it is essential that more detailed in-formation be provided.

“I’m shocked that a company that claims they spent millions and millions can’t meet the bare mini-mum to advance their issue for-ward,” Alphonse said.

“That’s why we decided a long time ago that their words are not truthful words. The best thing they can do is fold their tent and move on.”

NDP energy critic John Horgan toured the Cariboo this week, in-cluding a stop at Gibral-tar Mine.

“It’s a massive un-dertaking. Seven hun-dred high paying jobs, significant investments, and the mine has been in business through NDP, Social Credit and Lib-eral governments,” Hor-gan told media Tuesday.

One of the things Hor-gan wanted to “debunk” is the mythology that somehow the NDP con-trols commodity prices and international mar-kets, and is responsible for the downturn of cop-per prices in the 1990s.

“It was largely out of our hands. The slow down in mining was a result of price. Sixty-five cents a pound in 1997 and $3.50 a pound today and as high as $4.50 over the last few years.”

Cariboo North NDP candidate Duncan Bar-nett said on people’s doorsteps he’s been hearing concerns about what the NDP will do with mining.

“Will you shut down mining like you did in the 90s is what people are asking.”

Election campaigns should, rather than per-petuate mythology, be about putting forward what you’re going to do in the next four years, Horgan added.

“The notion that you somehow own votes for your tenure as a politi-cian is an outdated con-cept and you have to earn those votes every election. We tend to earn more votes not by deni-grating the other guy at every turn but by telling the public what we will do with the time avail-able to us.”

Provincial NDP lead-er Adrian Dix has been talking about change, but change for the bet-ter, not just because it sounds good on a bum-per sticker.

“I think the public is yearning for a different set of eyes to look at the challenges of our time.”

In conversation with the chief and council from Nazko, they told Horgan they’ve been working with BC Hydro

and the government for five years to get energy to their community so they can build and de-velop economic poten-tial.

“They’ve been unsuc-cessful,” Horgan said.

“Another person bringing for their case and advocating on their behalf could be the trick that turns the deal for them. I think that’s why in mature democracies governments are sup-posed to change.”

Horgan said the NDP plans to share its plan during the next seven weeks, and anticipates hearing smears against their plans.

He said the U.S. style of spending thousands of dollars in campaign funding for parties to hurl insults at one an-other is not productive.

He added the uptake in prices is good news for the forest industry and for bio-energy.

“In my role as energy critic that’s been one of my focuses, how do we use waste wood to greater advantage and how do we extract more benefit to the owner of the resource, the people of B.C.”

Tenure owners have their piece of the pie and make their revenues, but ultimately it’s a Crown asset, he said.

“Ultimately, massive slash piles sitting idle when there are econom-ic opportunities, like the Nazko proposal for bio-energy, to create more wealth, are the types of things we need to focus

on.”High prices for di-

mensional lumbers is a good starting point, but investing in the land base for future genera-tions is crucial too.

“Forest health has to be a higher priority than it’s been in the last four years,” he said.

With respect to New Prosperity, Horgan said he’ll see how the envi-ronmental review un-folds.

“Meeting with Taseko representatives today at Gibraltar they said they recognize they have an uphill battle with New Prosperity, but also recognize they have a 25-year life left in the Gibraltar operation and

that’s good news for the region.”

Horgan said Prosper-ity was rejected the first time and Mount Milli-gan was approved.

“Mount Milligan was approved because they did their ground work on environmental reme-diation and on First Na-tions consultation, so I think Taseko has learned from that and one hopes the New Prosperity ap-plication will learn from the last failed effort,” Horgan said.

Duncan Barnett sug-gested it’s not produc-tive to have all the focus on the example that isn’t moving forward and for-get about the benefits and success that Gibral-

tar and Mount Polley are having.

“There is one appli-cation that has some is-sues, but there are others that are moving forward and the mining sector is doing well in this re-gion,” he said.

“The level of activity and construction are an important contribution to our local economy.”

All natural resources have cycles but rely-ing on one sector to be the “goose that lays the golden egg” or the “sil-ver bullet” for our defi-cit issues is not realistic, he added.

“A more realistic ap-proach is to recognize all of our sectors,” Bar-nett said.

Minister of Community Bill Bennett visits lakecity

Rural MLAs have to think strategically, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural De-velopment Bill Bennett told the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce during a re-cent tour of the Cariboo.

“We are in the minor-ity,” Bennett said. “It’s particularly true in B.C. We’re the most urban province in the coun-try. The majority of our population lives in the Lower Mainland and if they don’t they live in Prince George, Kelowna or Kamloops.”

The province is “highly urbanized,” which means not only geography, but culture and values.

Experiences and val-ues are going to differ depending on where people live.

Bennett said govern-ment needs to focus on revenue by lowering taxes and by creating a responsible regulatory regime that is not an au-tomatic “no.”

Referring to a book published by Harvard

20 years ago, Getting to Yes, Bennett suggested governments have to view projects from that perspective.

“When somebody’s proposing a mine comes to the province, the province goes and has a look at what the envi-ronmental risk is.”

The province “should” state the identi-fied risks and the choice is then whether the risks are too great or getting to “yes” by encouraging companies to mitigate those risks.

“If we can do that we have found a way for the project to go forward. In my view Taseko Mines did exactly that,” Ben-nett said. “They came to the province with a project.”

There’s nothing unique from an engi-neering perspective with the project, he added. It’s an open pit mine and it’s got all the character-istics of a copper gold mine and the environ-mental risks can be miti-gated.

“It’s being done all over the province and we do it really well here in B.C. but it takes elect-

ed people with some backbone because the opposition to that type of economic develop-ment is prophetically powerful in today’s world.”

There are a whole bunch of people in B.C. and in the world who will say “no” and it makes it difficult for rural MLAs to push projects, like New Pros-perity.

“Lack of scientific lit-eracy is a major problem for resource industries in Canada and around the world,” Bennett said. “Listen to the debate on the Keystone Pipe-line and the proposed oil pipeline in B.C. You hear statements that are factually wrong.”

There are things to be worried about and getting to “yes” does not mean not worrying

about environmental implications.

“I’m just trying to make a point that in a world that’s driven by values in cities to make decisions out on the land around resources. The people in Vancouver don’t realize they’re the biggest mining town, the biggest logging town in B.C. Their economy is driven by mining, for-estry, oil and gas, and

tourism.”Bennett said the Lib-

erals supported New Prosperity the first go around, but the federal government “let the provincial government down.”

“Here we are back in the process again,” he said adding the min-ister of energy, mines and oil and gas believes the federal government needs to speak first, whether they are going to approve it before the provincial government gives its opinion.

“I’m not going to pre-judge what the environ-mental assessment of-fice of B.C. is going to do, second time around. We need to wait for the federal government to decide if it is going to approve this project or not. I certainly hope they do. I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t.”

Liberal MLA Donna Barnett said she wants the project to go ahead because it is vital to the region’s economy.

When she was chair of the Cariboo Chilco-tin Beetle Action Coali-tion, a study on keeping the region vibrant, she

suggested new resource development, including mines, was the answer.

“We didn’t specify any specific projects at the time, but I will say I support New Prosper-ity to the fullest and am waiting for the federal government’s environ-mental review process,” Barnett said, adding there are issues that have to be dealt with.

“If the mine does not go, the future of the Cariboo Chilcotin looks very bleak. We have pine beetle and we know in the not so dis-tance future the annual allowable cuts are going to come down.”

New Prosperity will be environmentally sen-sitive, she said.

“You cannot have an industry such as mining in this province without the strictest regulations at all times. We have to think about what is going to be here for our children. We talk about keeping the envi-ronment clean for our children. Yes, that is a priority, but it is also a priority that our chil-dren have jobs for the future.”

Dozens of youth participate in anti-mine rally

First Nations youth who participated in a rally in Williams Lake to protest New Prosperity Mine say they hope their opinions will be noticed. The rally began outside the Cariboo Memorial Complex Wednesday morning.

After traditional smudging, drumming and singing, participants left the complex and pro-ceeded through down-town, led by RCMP in their vehicles. They con-gregated at Herb Gard-ner Park where many youth took turns sharing

their thoughts.Eighteen-year-old

Taylor Myers from Ne-miah Valley said she wants to protect Fish Lake, which would be close to the proposed mine’s infrastructure.

Her sister, Larissa My-ers, said she doesn’t like the mine “one bit.”

She also lives in Ne-miah Valley and said her community is closer to the mine than other com-munities.

“We go there to fish and camp,” Taylor said, adding with a chuckle sometimes it’s hard to fish. “Dip net fishing is much easier.”

Holding a sign with

the slogan “Save My Culture,” Micole My-ers said she lives at Yunesit’in (Stone).

“I’m glad we’re able to come here as a group to raise awareness about New Prosperity Mine.

I strongly disagree that they should put up Pros-perity Mine,” Micole said.

Melissa Alphonse from Anaham is from the hereditary bloodline of her nation.

“I’m opposed to the mine,” she said. “I’m here to support the youth to feel comfortable to speak up. We sustain ourselves by living off the land and I’d like to continue that so my chil-dren can do the same.”

Former chief Ervin Charleyboy is a former chief and speaks in fa-vour of the project and its opportunities for the youth.

Melissa, however, ar-gued Charleyboy does not speak for all First Nations youth in the re-gion.

Taylor Myers, Cameron Lulua, Larissa Myers, Micole Myers, Peyal Laceese, and Melissa Alphonse were among the youth participating in a rally last week to protest New Prosperity Mine.


See RALLYPage A4

Peyal Laceese, also from Toosey, was in-spired seeing so many youth participate.

“I am part of the youth as well and it’s good to see us com-ing together and com-ing forth as a big one,” Peyal said.

Cameron Lulua, also from Nemiah, partici-pated because of the land, he said.

“I believe that this land is not given to us.

It’s borrowed for the next generation.”

As the drumming tempo increased and the singing more in-tensified, the youth, children, elders, chiefs and community mem-bers participating in the rally began to assemble for a march through downtown Williams Lake.

“I’m proud and glad to be one of the youth having his voice heard,” Payel added.

Yunesit’in chief Rus-sell Myers Ross ex-

pressed pride in the youth and said it’s im-portant they speak for themselves.

“My feeling with Er-vin Charleyboy is that he is not a legitimate spokesperson for the Tsilqot’in Nation,” My-ers Ross said.

“He brought this up in his election cam-paign when he ran for chief at Tsi Del Del and he lost on the issue.”

Youth need to be free to express themselves and how they want to see the future, he added.

Say Yes to New Prosperity campaign shared with WL chamber

The “Say Yes to New Prosperity” campaign visited Williams Lake, making a stop at the Wil-liams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce on March 28.

Len Doucette, from the 100 Mile House Cham-ber of Commerce, said he co-ordinated the cam-paign about one year ago.

“After the first pro-posal was rejected by the federal government in 2010, I was disappointed it wasn’t going ahead,” Doucette told the Cham-ber.

“I had sat idle thinking it would be a shoe-in.”

After Taseko Mines Ltd.’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison gave a presen-tation on the New Pros-perity proposal in 100 Mile House, Doucette decided he wanted to do something to support the project.

“I contacted Walt Cobb and Claudia Blair at the chamber here. They gave me warnings and good ideas,” he said.

Part of the campaign involves a Facebook page, that has gathered more than 1,000 likes.

On March 16, Doucette and his crew hosted an Open House in 100 Mile House, inviting propo-nents and opponents of the project to be in one room together.

“I put Taseko Mines Ltd. on the right and the Friends of Fish Lake on the left,” Doucette said, adding around 200 peo-ple attended.

He thought the event went well. “There wasn’t a war and people who wanted to get informa-tion from both sides had

the chance. Everyone be-haved.”

Doucette also noticed of the 43 people who had applied for interested par-ty status in the upcoming environmental panel re-view of New Prosperity, only three were in sup-port of the project.

He immediately en-couraged supporters to file write asking for Inter-ested Party status.

“There are 20 people now so we feel it’s a more level playing field. We’re going to have a meeting to determine how we will all move forward. We need to get the message out. We’re thinking many voices, one message. That’s what we’re doing in 100 Mile House,” he said.

Because the panel hearings won’t take place in 100 Mile House, he said a bus load of people from 100 Mile House will be travelling to Wil-liams Lake and commu-nities in the west to par-ticipate.

Doucette has hats, buttons and a sign on his truck advocating the campaign.

The hat gets him free coffee at Tim Hortons and his truck sign garners him a thumbs up from other drivers on a regular basis.

“I’ve had great re-sponse from the public,” he said.

Having lived in 100 Mile House since the 1970s, Doucette has watched the region’s economy change.

“In 1983 we had a mine close nearby and a plywood plant. It went from booming to noth-ing. I pulled up some more stats for the School District. There were well over 8,000 students in 2000. Today there are 5,000.”

100 Mile House has 37 store fronts for rent, he added.

Chamber president Ja-son Ryll said he’s won-dered if Williams Lake should start a similar

campaign, although he’s worried about burn out.

“We have much more to lose if we don’t stand up and say ‘yes,” he said.

Ryll encouraged cham-ber members to continue to apply for interested party status, even if the deadline has passed, and suggested as many peo-ple as possible attend the panel hearings when they come to Williams Lake.

Doucette voiced con-cerns about the upcom-ing provincial election and how it might impact the project.

“We know Donna Barnett is definitely for the mine and Charlie Wyse and Adrian Dix have made it clear they don’t like the project,” Doucette said, adding that’s one of the battles his campaign faces.

Cariboo North NDP candidate Duncan Bar-nett attended the presen-tation and said he made three observations.

He said Doucette and

Ryll’s encouragement to participate in the public process of the review panel is a good thing.

“I’m concerned, how-ever, that the point is being missed about First Nations interest in this matter,” Barnett said. “I would encourage the campaign to connect with First Nations because ab-original rights and title is

very significant.”Talking at a table with

chamber members, Bar-nett said heard clearly how small people are concerned about the fu-ture of the local economy.

“I get the sense that there’s desperation out there. If we are in this situation then I will get political and say maybe it’s time for a change.”

TRU North receives $1 million plus for skills training

Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake has received a hefty financial boost in the arm from government.

Last Wednesday Min-ister of Tourism, Jobs and Skills Training Pat Bell and Cariboo Chilco-tin MLA Donna Barnett were in Williams Lake to announce more than $1 million of new funding for TRU North.

Funded through the Canadian British Co-lumbia Labour Market Agreement, the Cariboo Chilcotin Skills Train-ing project will provide First Nations communi-ties and local employers with group literacy and essential skills level as-sessment.

The assessments will help determine training needs.

Beginning April 4 stu-dents will be accepted into the program, Barnett said.

She commended TRU for taking the leadership in developing training programs for the region.

Bell said he believes the future of B.C. as a whole is dependent on how the province works collectively and collab-oratively with First Na-tions in training for spe-cific industrial sectors. It is known there is going to be an enormous crunch over the next number of

years in those sectors.First Nations continue

to face high levels of unemployment in their communities, while at the same time non-Aboriginal communi-ties have prospered, he said, adding that’s “not acceptable” in the 21st century and wasn’t ac-ceptable previously.

The funding is a step toward making efforts to provide additional train-ing and efforts, he said.

“If you look at the economy across B.C., we expect in the next seven years there will be about one million job open-ings.”

At the same period of time there will be an estimated 650,000 high school graduates, creat-ing an “enormous gap,” Bell said.

Of the million job openings, approximately 430,000 are going to be trades or technical.

“The jobs will often be located in rural areas and extend opportunities into small First Nations communities,” Bell said, adding it is government’s responsibility to provide training for everyone to participate in the econo-my.

Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Chief Dave Archie said it’s great to have more options for train-ing and education for all First Nations and all people in the Cariboo.

“I’m looking forward

to building this partner-ship and many more. As Northern Shuswap we want the same op-portunities to work and provide for our families, not only in working, but in our traditional ways, ensuring those ways are here for our future gen-erations.”

First Nations want to be on the same playing field that other Canadi-ans new and old enjoy, Archie said.

“We look forward to creating partnerships with all levels of govern-ment,” he said, adding education is an important foundation for everyone.

Campus director Dr. Ray Sanders thanked the

government for its trust in TRU to deliver pro-grams.

“We have great needs and the education levels, even for entry level jobs, has risen to a point that it’s not longer accept-able to take someone who might or might not been a drop out or some-one who has low literacy skills,” Sanders said.

In today’s world peo-ple have to be able to use documents, be literate not only with the writ-ten word, but with nu-meracy.

“This contract will al-low us to enable more people to have better lives. That’s what it’s all about.

TRU is wonderful with great potential, but the university should never lose sight of its purpose to helping indi-viduals have better lives, he added.

The university’s grant writer Shirley-Pat Cham-berlain said without in-dustry participation none

of the training could go ahead.

“We can do all of the essential skills training we want, but if there is no relation or connection to the real world, what’s the point,” Chamberlin said.

Aboriginal education executive director Na-

than Matthews said he and others involved in First Nations education wait for announcements like this one.

“We look forward to build a stronger base for First Nations to gain the strength needed in First Nations communities,” he said.

My office roommate has her quirks — she spends most of

the day snoozing, is obsessive about exercise and can be a bit self-righteous about her healthy vegetable-and-seed diet. But I guess she can be forgiven for her eccentricities given that my officemate is actually a dwarf hamster named Holly, whose spacious habitat overlooks my desk at the head office of the BC SPCA. Like Holly, hundreds of hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals are sur-rendered to the SPCA and are in need of loving homes. Each year the BC SPCA designates March as Small Animal Month to draw attention to these wonderful pint-sized pets available for adoption at shelters across the province.

Small animals are often over-looked, perhaps because people don’t see them as “real” pets. But rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats and hamsters come with delight-ful and inquisitive personalities, fascinating behaviours and the ability to enrich our lives. While Homer’s nocturnal habits make him a quiet and unassuming of-fice-mate, he regularly rouses himself from sleep to greet col-leagues or visitors who pop by — in the hopes they may have brought along a hamster treat or two. He also has very particular home design ideas and spends hours rearranging the tubes, toys and treats I put into his habitat to get the look “just right.”

Small animals are great for people who have pet restrictions where they live. They don’t take up a lot of space or make much noise. But small animals do have unique care needs and, as with cats and dogs, people should fa-miliarize themselves with the animal’s characteristics to ensure a suitable match.

So, before you head out to a BC SPCA shelter to adopt, check out our pet care pages first to learn what you need to do to keep your potential pet happy and healthy. Then, should you feel ready to bring a small animal (or two!) into your life, check our adoption listings (spca.bc.ca) or stop by a shelter to find one just right for you.

Our Viewpoint

We’ll have to learn to keep a straight face

Good things come in small packages

Sunshine is wonderful after so many grey days. Strang-ers smile at each other.

People are out in their yards. Parks teem with little people. In my yard one crocus and one teeny tulip are blooming. Spring seems to have sprung. Maybe the weather will help people feel friendlier to city

counci l and vice verse.

Every w e e k seems to bring a new city

issue and the latest fuss is over the new placebrand, the Republic of Life. Given what appears to have been a genuine effort to involve the public in the choosing process, it’s astonishing how many people didn’t know about it and how many aren’t enthused, including five for-mer mayors.

All were concerned about the costs of the rebranding, which could be huge. (Did any current councillors think to ask about that?) Jim Fraser, Ethel Winger and Walt Cobb all worked hard to pro-mote the western image. Scott Nel-son thought any change would be bizarre. Rick Gibson said no matter what council does, Williams Lake will always be a proud western/Stampede town.

Some previous councils did look at changing the city’s image but decided to stay with ranching/ro-deo. The history includes both First Nations and pioneer families, and that’s what makes us unique.

If I understand correctly, council says the new placebrand isn’t de-signed for locals to like or dislike, it’s to attract people from outside to come here. All city taxpayers have to do is shut up, pay the bills, and live with the consequences if the plan doesn’t work.

Except for Danica Hughes, coun-cillors seem to be excited about the new image so it is highly unlikely they will change their minds. Like it or not, we’ll just have to learn how to keep a straight face when admitting we’re from Williams Lake, the Republic of Life.

By the way, just what is the cow-boy spirit? Flinging the bull?

Voter turnout troublingWith all the speculation about the coming provin-

cial election campaign, attention is rarely paid to an alarming trend – the rate of voter participation is dropping steadily, and in 20 years, it may be at minimal levels.

All this happens as governments at all levels take more and more money from taxpayers’ pockets, and face significant challenges.

In the 2009 provincial election, the turnout was just over 50 per cent.

As NDP leader Adrian Dix put it bluntly at a re-cent luncheon meeting in Langley, the governing Liberals were actually elected by 23 per cent of the people eligible to vote while his party in opposi-tion received votes from just 21 per cent of those eligible.

As recently as 1983, 70 per cent of those eligible voted in a provincial election.

Dix is correct in diagnosing that an increasing number of young people don’t see any point in vot-ing.

Most are not disinterested in the world around them, but they don’t see voting or being involved with a political party as making any real difference.

As a result of this disinterest, Dix says elections (and governing) increasingly are reduced to con-tests between the powerful and the loud, with al-most everyone else shunted off to the sidelines.

It’s not a good omen for democracy.There must be concerted efforts from all stake-

holders to get young people to engage in voting. Dix has proposed having 16-year-olds on the vot-ers’ list so they’re ready to vote when they turn 18.

This and other measures need to be looked at as well.

Negative political advertising doesn’t workEditor:

As the provincial election draws near, out comes the negative ad-vertising regarding the NDP. I find this sad.

I know there is a claim that neg-ative advertising works but I per-sonally reject it.

There will be great efforts by all parties to get their story out to the voting public.

I don’t think it is being nega-tive to question the NDP in their job creation plan when the NDP has come out so far in advance of the election to say they are against

pipelines, and mines. My questions remain. 1.) Is the NDP burning bridges

out from under a large segment of B.C.’s work force?

2.) The NDP’s negative position, regarding economic development sounds counter productive?

3.) Lastly the NDP have eter-nally claimed to be the voice of working people, however, the NDP seem developmentally negative when every day a number of B.C.’s workforce is finding employment in those developing resource in-dustries.

Additionally, in advance of their

hoped for win, the NDP has made it public that they plan on raising taxes to a large segment of BC’s various industries.

Sounds like the NDP consider industrial developers as some sort of rich piranhas. The truth is that there are few rich Daddy Warbucks anymore, most industrial develop-ment that we see today is owned by public shareholders, and when the margin of profit gets to the tipping point the shareholders just won’t support growing expenditures, tax-es or otherwise.

At the end of the last NDP term in office, the Forest Service in

this area grew exponentially from Horsefly to Bella Coola the Forest Service employed hundreds.

If that again is the NDP’s eco-nomic development and job cre-ation plan, and the NDP get re-elected, taxpayers could be on the hook.

Following the change in govern-ment, and the cutting of govern-ment expenses a great lot employ-ees and contractors lost work.

Simply speaking, any increase in public owned industry that B.C. has, the more people we have working.

With more industry and corre-

spondently, a reduced level of gov-ernment employees, there is an in-creased tax revenue stream to pay for necessary services.

When the government creates employment, economic stimula-tion is usually taxpayer based, and is only temporary, leading to re-duced services.

During the last period of NDP government many resource in-dustries and investors did not find B.C.’s economic climate very re-warding and went elsewhere.

Chamber Chatter winner for March

Amber Stuart is a Licensed Mortgage Broker with Dominion Lending Centres West-ern Lending Source lo-cated at 199 Third Av-enue North in Williams Lake, BC. She is li-censed to arrange mort-gages across Canada and has access to char-tered banks, trust com-panies, credit unions and private lenders throughout the country.

Ambers’ job is to search among a list of approved lenders to find the rate and mortgage

product that best suit her client’s needs.

Amber does the rate shopping and all the re-search for her clients; saving them valuable time and money!

There is a general misconception that a mortgage broker only works with clients that have blemished credit, minimal down payment or other financial obsta-cles but this is not the case at all!

Amber works with a full range of clients from those simply re-newing an existing mortgage to the first time home buyer, to families wanting to re-finance to access equity in their home, to the sophisticated borrower

looking to expand their rental portfolio.

Having access to a wide range of mortgage products allows Amber to really customize the mortgage experience for her clients.

When a person uses a bank to arrange their mortgage they are lim-ited to the bank’s mort-gage product whereas Amber has all the of-ferings from the major banks as well as trust companies, non-bank lenders, credit unions and private lenders.

Amber loves what she does and loves get-ting someone into their first home or helping a person refinance to con-solidate high interest debt or free up cash for investments.

“It’s a great business to be in right now be-cause the interest rates are near all-time record lows, the economy is starting to stabilize, and people are saving hundreds of dollars per

month by refinancing. There has never been a better opportunity for people to upgrade their home, consolidate debt or invest in a revenue property” Amber says.

Her philosophy is that everyone deserves to own a home! “We all have to live somewhere; we all have to pay rent in some form. So why not own a home and build equity into our in-vestment? “

Amber is a member of the Williams Lake Chamber of Commerce and regularly volun-teers at the Williams Lake Salvation Army soup kitchen. Amber is also an active supporter of the BC SPCA Paws for a Cause fundraiser each year. Amber can be reached on her cell at 250-303-0585 or by email at [email protected]. Her website is www.mortgage-sense.ca and she is also on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

Five Williams Lake hockey players are set to begin play this Thursday at the 2013 Female U16 BC Cup of Hockey.

Sarah Hermsen, Laine Grace, Ruthie Jackson, Victoria Byer and Stefanie Martin were se-lected from 53 players for the team, following a gruelling high performance identification camp hosted in Williams Lake in Janu-ary.

The tournament features teams including two from the Lower Mainland, Team North, Team Okanagan, Team Vancouver Is-land and Team Kootenay.

Lakecity players will suit up for Team North, and are slated to arrive in Duncan — the site of the tournament — on Thursday where they’ll begin with a team meeting, perform fitness testing, then have time for an on-ice prac-tice session.

Williams Lake’s round robin pool consists of three teams in-cluding Team Vancouver Island and Team Kootenay with Team North playing its opener against Team Kooteny Friday at 10:15 a.m.

Friday at 8 p.m. there will be an opening ceremony for players, coaches and spectators.

Saturday playoff matchups be-gin based on seeding from the round robin.

The tournament finals are slat-ed for Sunday, April 7 at noon, while the bronze-medal game goes at 9:45 a.m.

Team North is being coached by Carl Johnson, with Williams Lake’s Roy Call heading up the assistant coaching duties.

The U16 level of the Female High Performance Program has been established to introduce ath-letes to high performance hockey focusing on both on- and off-ice aspects of the game.

In an effort to emulate national and international women’s hock-ey competitions, eligible players are invited to their zone’s U16 camp.

At the zone camps all player are given the opportunity to rep-resent their zones at the U16 high performance provincial competi-tion.

Every other year BC Hockey partners with the BC Games So-ciety to make it possible for play-ers from the U16 zone develop-ment camps to compete in the BC Winter Games, too.

The BC Hockey Female U16 High Performance Program alter-nates years between the BC Cup and the BC Winter Games, giving a chance for athletes to compete at both events.

The Williams Lake Midget Girls Timber-wolves capped off a successful season late March — finishing its campaign with two tournament wins.

The team, while not officially designated a rep team, is only al-lowed to play in three tournaments through-out the course of the year and won both a tournament in Clear-water in January and the 100 Mile House Attitude on Ice tour-nament from March 16-18.

“What we did is we didn’t do a rep team this year for the girls — we just did a tour-nament team,” said co-coach Cordell Wiebe

who, along with Al Hare, helped put the team together.

“We thought we’d throw it together to see if there was inter-est and we put a good squad together.”

The third tourna-ment, which ran March 23-24 in Richmond, saw the Timberwolves nab fifth place after moving up into a more competitive division than they’d been in the last two years at the tournament.

“Traditionally the girls always go down to the Richmond tour-nament at the end of the year,” he said.

“We got moved up because we’d won it the last two tourna-ments when they were peewees and bantams.

“We were play-

ing against teams that play in a girls’ league all year long so it was good competition.”

Williams Lake’s first game saw them skate to a 2-1 defeat to the eventual tournament winner, Oceanside.

“We were up 2-1 but they scored two goals and beat us 3-2,” Wiebe said.

Next, the T-wolves faced Comox Valley, which ended in a 1-1

tie. “After that we had to

win by a certain num-ber of goals in our last round robin game but we fell one goal short, so we ended up play-

ing for fifth,” he said.Tess Hare scored her

second of the game with 18 seconds left in the third period to lift Williams Lake to a 2-1 victory.

“We called a time-out and ran a set play,” Wiebe said.

“We won the draw right back to the de-fenceman, the defence-man fired it on net and Tessa got the goal.”

Goaltender Bailey Schick was between the pipes at the tour-nament, and picked up the first-place wins in Clearwater and 100 Mile House.

In Clearwater Wil-liams Lake went a perfect 4-0 to take the title. At the Attitude on Ice Tournament

the T-wolves skated to two one-goal wins and a 4-0 shutout before clashing with 100 Mile House in the final.

“We ended up win-ning that one with a minute left in over-time,” Wiebe said.

“Teneal Schick scored the game win-ner.”

Wiebe added he was impressed with the way the team played in Richmond, especially after moving up a divi-sion.

“I’m very impressed with how they played, and they competed well,” he said.

“The two teams that were in the final we lost by one and tied. It was a fun group to coach.”

Midget girls T-wolves end season with two titles

Kallie Schick photoThe Williams Lake Midget Girls Timberwolves fi nished their season at a tournament in Richmond late March, following two tournament wins — one in Clearwater in January and another, March 16-18, in 100 Mile House.

It’s become an an-nual spring tradition in Williams Lake for families, friends and pets to come out to en-joy the beginning of spring for the Nutrition Fun Run/Walk.

This year marks the 23rd instalment of the event — a free, five-kilometre ride, run or walk beginning at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex on Sunday, April 7 at 11 a.m.

This year’s route travels gently through the residential neigh-bourhoods of the city and will be clearly marked.

The run will begin with a warmup at the CMRC before par-ticipants set out on the

course.“The Nutrition Fun

Run/Walk is a great opportunity to load up your stroller or bi-cycles and bring your children along,” said Suzanne Cochrane, recreation programmer for the city.

“Families and friends will also enjoy the nutritious refresh-ments and fabulous prizes.”

As March is nutri-tion month, recreation services is promoting healthy eating through this year’s annual event.

This year’s nutri-tion month theme is “Put Your Best Foot Foward.”

“It’s the perfect time to start thinking about

how food choices can affect your health,” she said.

“Small changes can pay off big by reduc-ing your risk, and your family’s risk, for obe-sity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

“Our registered di-etitians have a few simple tips to help you make healthier food choices.”

• Plan weekly meals: Help reduce stress with very busy family schedules by sketch-ing out some family meals and lunches for the week.

• Use a list when you shop: A shopping list will not only help you make healthier choices but is also one of the best ways to save mon-

ey and time.• Eat your meals to-

gether: Meal time is an excellent time to con-nect as a family.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

The City of Williams Lake has completed the replacement of a section of process line serving the Atlantic Power Plant destroyed last year, with a solution to avoid the problem in the future. The line is now functional.

A landslide in the River Valley adjacent to the Williams Lake solid waste transfer station destroyed a large section of the treatment water outfall from the Atlantic Power plant and a storm outfall pipe, which are critical components of City’s infrastructure. Emergency works were completed to ensure service was not interrupted.

Because the process line had to be replaced in its existing location, creative thinking was needed to return the pipe to the same location and not have the same thing happen again. To alleviate any future problems, the pipe was directionally drilled from the top of the escarpment to the bottom. Engineers found a layer of earth that was relatively stable that the drillers could stay under from the top of the escarpment to the bottom, so land from future slides would travel over the pipe, and not affect it. This drilling took months to complete, and the pipe has been re-established at both ends and the process water was able to be turned back on.

Design work for Phase 5 of the River Valley Stormwater Management system, which includes the replacement of the destroyed outfall sewer pipe, is almost complete.

After Hours: theme for Horsefly Follies The Horsefly community is in

the final weeks of rehearsal for its ever-popular Horsefly Follies.

The 2013 Horsefly Follies com-ing up April 26-27 and May 3-4 will be the 29th production for the The Horsefly Musical Theatre Group.

Friday, April 26 the show is geared for children.

The other three shows are for adults, says co-director Christina Mary.

Tickets for the children’s Friday evening shows starting at 7 p.m. sharp will be available at the door for $2 for children and $6 for adults.

Saturday shows for adults start at 7:30 p.m. sharp. Tickets are $12.50 and are available at Clarkes Store.

There will also be two other short windows for pre-ticket sales at the Horsefly Community Hall on Sat-urday, April 6 from 10 a.m. to noon, and at the Seniors’ Activity Centre on Fourth Avenue in Williams Lake on Saturday, April 6 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The theme for this year’s follies is After Hours.

“Follies is traditionally a collec-tion of short humorous skits and songs that are sure to tickle your funny bone,” says Mary, who is co-directing the production with Paul Williams. “This year is no excep-tion!”

She says the cast has adapted short skits compiled by herself, Paul Redford, and Curt and Sandy Tugnum.

“What happens After Hours?” Mary says. “We used our imagina-tions!”

Actors this season are Paul Red-ford, Sandy Tugnum, Dawn Bigg, Ernie Gruhs, Christina Mary, Wal-ter Hlookoff, and Jeff Jenner. Me-lissa Vaughn is producing.

This community fundraiser will also include a live auction and door prizes at half-time on each of the adult performance nights.

Items on the action block have been donated by local artists and artisans and include stained glass by Joanne Brown; hand woven basket by Christina Mary; horse-shoe candle holders by Darcy Jackson; acrylic painting by Paul Redford; quilted item by Chris Kenny; framed print by Maureen LeBourdais; throw blanket by Lau-rel Reynolds; wood turned item by Murray Manuel; barn-board bird house by Bun Wright; and a sun catcher by Maureen Chappell.

The auction items will be on dis-play at the Anvil Pub during April.

The Horsefly Follies is a non-profit group that raises funds through the follies and other events to help support the operation and community programs held at the Horsefly Community Hall.

Photos submittedCo-directors Christina Mary (left) and Pauline Williams go over some of the scenes in which Mary also appears.

Consequently he was raised mostly in the house and carried out to the barn for meals with his mom. A Newfoundland dog became Rebel’s in-home nanny, so he thinks of himself more as a house pet than a miniature horse.

Victoria band Fish & Bird house concert coming up

Fish & Bird, the five-piece, indie-folk power-house that performed at Arts on the Fly in Horse-fly last summer, is re-turning to Horsefly for a house concert this week.

The concert takes place at Geoff Paten-aude’s home on 108 Mile Road in Horsefly, start-ing at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 6, says event orga-nizer Pharis Romero.

Fish and Bird began in Victoria in 2006 as an acoustic duo, comprised of Taylor Ashton (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Adam Iredale-Gray (fiddle).

On their 2007 self titled debut, their take on folk included original songs in odd time sig-

natures and traditional murder ballads with rock beats.

The 2009 their Left Brain Blues CD was a more mature exploration of the space between folk traditions and reckless creativity, with Ashton and Gray playing mul-tiple instruments on each song, and toying with the formats that inspired them.

Some of the friends they enlisted to help fill out the sound on the re-cord and at live shows eventually became per-manent members of the band, and now Fish & Bird is the five-piece indie-folk powerhouse of today.

They have weird vo-cal improv sections, they rock out in 11/8, sometimes it seems like they’re playing blue-grass, and they might make you cry.

Fish & Bird’s latest album, Every Whisper is a Shout Across the Void, marks a major step for-ward for the young band.

Tickets are $15 and available along with res-ervations by e-mailing [email protected] or by phone until April 3 at 250-620-0592.

Directions will be pro-vided with reservations Come early with snacks to share, Romero says.

For more on the band see www.fishandbird.ca

Williams Lake will echo with the rich sound of the bagpipes on April 6 when the Williams Lake Pipe Band invites the community to a free ceilidh, a lively social gathering, in the Gibral-tar Room at 6 p.m.

The event coincides with National Tartan Day and will include food, live music, dancing and fun.

Williams Lake Pipe Band member Joe Ba-zan said that the goal with this free event is to raise awareness of Scot-tish culture in the com-munity, “It’s also a great opportunity to say thank you to the community for supporting us from the beginning — by inviting us to play, by coming to hear us and by support-ing us with donations.”

He said that Scottish music, culture and cei-

lidhs are appealing to people and draw them in. “Sometimes it’s people with family connec-tions and sometimes it’s people who appreciate multi-cultural events or who just like the idea of a great celebration.”

The ceilidh is a chance for families to enjoy the diversity of “our amaz-ing Cariboo culture,” according to Bazan, who added that Scottish influ-ences are definitely part

of that culture. He said that the band

is honoured and de-lighted that world-class bagpiper Rob Menzies is coming to participate in the ceilidh. Menzies performed last year with the six-time world champion, Simon Fraser Pipe Band during a live recorded concert at the famed Lincoln Centre, and also led the Robert Malcolm Memorial Pipe Band to a grade three World Pipe Band Cham-pionship at Glasgow Green in Scotland.

He is a regular instruc-tor at Piping Hot Sum-mer Drummer and is a senior adjudicator for the BC Pipers Association. He has recorded and performed with popular Canadian artists such as Spirit of the West, Ste-phen Fearing, Jay Knut-son, Babe Gurr, Pete McCormack, the Celtic Connection, Simon Fras-er Pipe Band and Ashley Macleod.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting peo-ple in Williams Lake and sharing the experience of Scottish and Celtic mu-sic,” Menzies said, add-ing that it will be his first visit to the area.

He noted that there are many benefits to be-ing involved with a pipe band and said that his two children also play in pipe bands.

“You learn a lot of uni-versal life skills – com-mitment, discipline and time organization,” he explained.

“Scottish melodies are very attractive to the ear, and the music is very appealing to people. The music is magnetic: it brings you back and makes you want to hear more.”

Menzies is also master of the Celtic tin whistle, also known as the penny whistle, which has been featured in the sound tracks of blockbuster movies including Titanic and Lord of the Rings. He is offering a free penny whistle workshop from 10-12:30 in the Gi-braltar Room on April 6, sponsored by the Wil-liams Lake and District Credit Union and the Rush.

For more information email [email protected] or phone Jeanne-Anne at 250-392-3683 or John at 250-398-7964. Tickets (free) for the ceilidh are available at the Legion.

GETTING ALONG WITH OTHERSYour Preschooler and…

Getting Along With Others

Up until now, your preschooler has been mostly concerned with his or her own needs.Usually around the third birthday, this “egocentric” view of the world begins to change. Typically, your child will be more interested in playing with friends, although friendships may be short-lived. Your child may be able to show empathy, take turns, and begin to understand the idea of sharing. As well, more and more preschoolers are able to follow rules and instructions and are interested in seeking approval from adults. It is important to set basic rules and stick to them consistently. Getting along with both children and adults so that your child may do well in a group environment is a very important part of helping your child get ready for school.

Try some of these with your preschooler:1. Most preschoolers look for approval. Give

approval (with encouraging words and actions like smiling) for taking turns and waiting for a turn as a part of your child’s everyday routine.

2. Introduce your preschooler and friends to simple games that require taking turns, such as card games like Go Fish.

3. Give simple one or two-step instructions to follow and then praise your child for listening and completing the task. Be delighted and supportive when your child behaves well.

4. Model respect by saying things like “please” and “thank you” to your child.

5. Encourage your child to have regular responsibilities around the home. An activity such as choosing clothes independently allows your child to get used to routines and expectations as a part of the day.

6. See how others do it. Reading books about friends with your child is another way to introduce your child to socializing.

7. Provide lots of opportunities for your child to interact with friends. Set up play dates with friends on a regular basis. Encourage your child to say “Hello” to playmates when he or she sees them.

8. Keep play dates short – one to two hours, and small – one to two friends. Make available a variety of activities that children will enjoy.

9. Be available. Supervise your child. Don’t just leave the children to play by themselves and hope for the best. Be close by in case they can’t solve their own conflicts, stop playing together, or need a change of activity.

10. Take your preschooler to another child’s home. Provide the experience of playing away from your child’s own home and learning the rules of another family. Depending on your child’s comfort level, consider leaving your preschooler in the home of trusted friends without you, first for a short time and then for longer periods.

11. Invite your own friends over. Since young children pay close attention to what adults do and often imitate their behaviour, model for your child by inviting adults to visit in your home. Have a double play date with a friend who has children.

Contact your local school or 250-398-3839 for more information on this program for

3 and 4 year olds & their parent/care giver.

Legion celebrates 70th birthdays Saturday

The Legion held a group birthday party on Saturday for mem-

bers, friends and resi-dents who turned 70 this year. Nearly 80 people gathered for a potluck dinner, a spec-tacular cake and danc-ing to Perfect Match.

Hank Dickey, Rufus Coombes, Joyce Fra-ser, Ray Weir, Al Wil-son, Sharon Weir and Frank Isnardy and their friends and families enjoyed a warm and

friendly birthday cel-ebration at the Legion.

Three of the people celebrating with their families at the Le-gion birthday party were Levi, Autumn and

Hailey Weir. They had their pho-

tograph taken with a creative vegetable ‘bouquet’ that their mom Michelle brought to the birthday potluck.

“She works at a flower shop so she knows how to do it,” Autumn said.

Autumn explained that they were there to celebrate the birthdays

of their grandparents, Sharon and Ray Weir. When asked if she gave her ‘Nana’ and ‘Papa’ a birthday hug, she said, “I give them a hug ev-ery day.”

Wii Olympics coming to TRU Sunday, April 7

The Wii Olympics are coming to Thomp-son Rivers University in April.

Classrooms at TRU will be transformed into a fun-filled gam-ing arena on Sunday, April 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. as participants compete against each other in the Wii Olympics.

This is an all-ages family event.

The fundraising event is being organized by a group of three TRU hu-man service students as part of a class project, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and Dis-trict, says operations co-ordinator Stefanie Hen-drickson in announcing the event.

“Funds raised at the event will support pro-grams for youth in our community,” Hendrick-son says.

Participants age six and up will be grouped into teams representing different countries, with teams facing-off in a se-ries of six Olympic-style Wii events, which will

include various sports and dance games using Wii game consoles.

Children under the age of six are also wel-come to come and hang-out at a non-competitive Wii station. Snacks will be available and there will be prizes up for grabs, including a grand prize draw for a Wii game console.

Also, winning teams will be awarded med-als during the closing ceremonies. Registra-tion on the day of the event will be available, however, participants are urged to pre-reg-ister by printing off a registration form from ww.bgcwilliamslake.com and dropping it off at the Boys and Girls Club (across from Safe-way). The registration fee is $10 per individual and $25 per family.

The Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District is a leading provider of programs and services for children and youth, Hendrickson.

The club supporters believe in healthy phys-

ical, educational, and social development for young people and their families in the commu-nity.

The club operates more than a dozen pro-grams including the Sprockids mountain bik-ing program, licensed after-school child care, a full-day licensed sum-mer program, commu-nity outreach and educa-tion programs, outdoor baseball, and a youth drop-in centre.

Many of these pro-grams are run at no-cost to the participants, and, as a policy, Boys and Girls Clubs will not turn away any child due to a family’s inability to pay.

Instant updates on programs and events can be found on the Boys and Girls Club Facebook page at www.facebook.com/boysand-girlsclubofwilliamslake.

To learn more about Boys and Girls Clubs please visit www.bgc-can.com or www.bgc-williamslake.com.
