The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) has told Taseko Mines there are major deficiencies in the approach the company has used to assess the cumulative environment effects of the New Prosperity Mine. In a letter addressed to Taseko, Nov. 26, panel chair Bill Ross stated: “The approach ex- cludes a number of valued eco- system components (VEC) and key indicators from the cumula- tive effects assessment. Given the importance of this deficiency, the panel is submitting this informa- tion request in advance of other information requests which will be submitted by Dec. 11, 2012.” The letter also states it is the pan- el’s view that this information as well as responses to forthcoming requests are required for the panel to determine if the EIS is sufficient to proceed to public hearing. After the additional information is submitted, the panel will decide whether or not to provide a 15-day public comment period, based on the additional information provid- ed, or to proceed to scheduling a public hearing. Responding in a letter, dated Nov. 27, John W. McManus, Taseko senior vice president of op- erations, expressed the company’s disappointment. “It is discouraging that the panel has used an apparent technicality to stop the timeline remaining for the panel to complete the review,” he stated. Xeni Gwetin (Nemiah Valley) Chief Marilyn Baptiste said Nov. 29 she was not surprised by the panel’s letter. “I was expecting the panel to say there are deficiencies, not just a few.

It’s so far beyond a tech- nicality,” Baptiste said, adding the project should be thrown out alto- gether. “Why waste everybody’s time and energy with a project that’s not being taken seriously by the company that’s putting it forward? Anyone with common sense knows that a massive open pit mine sur- rounding a lake will not save that lake or any lake.” Tsilhqot’in National Govern- ment chair Chief Joe Alphonse echoed Baptiste, saying it was good news to hear the project’s been delayed. “It was surprising and not sur- prising,” Alphonse said of the let- ters. “Taseko feels it’s going to get the project approved through the political process and not a proper environmental one.

TRANSCRIPT

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) has told Taseko Mines there are major deficiencies in the approach the company has used to assess the cumulative environment effects of the New Prosperity Mine.

In a letter addressed to Taseko, Nov. 26, panel chair Bill Ross stated: “The approach ex-cludes a number of valued eco-system components (VEC) and key indicators from the cumula-tive effects assessment. Given the importance of this deficiency, the panel is submitting this informa-tion request in advance of other information requests which will be submitted by Dec. 11, 2012.”

The letter also states it is the pan-el’s view that this information as well as responses to forthcoming requests are required for the panel to determine if the EIS is sufficient to proceed to public hearing.

After the additional information is submitted, the panel will decide whether or not to provide a 15-day public comment period, based on the additional information provid-ed, or to proceed to scheduling a public hearing.

Responding in a letter, dated Nov. 27, John W. McManus, Taseko senior vice president of op-erations, expressed the company’s disappointment.

“It is discouraging that the panel has used an apparent technicality to stop the timeline remaining for the panel to complete the review,” he stated.

Xeni Gwetin (Nemiah Valley) Chief Marilyn Baptiste said Nov. 29 she was not surprised by the panel’s letter.

“I was expecting the panel to say there are deficiencies, not just a few. What’s disheartening and disgraceful is to hear Taseko say it’s a technicality. How is it a tech-nicality? It’s so far beyond a tech-nicality,” Baptiste said, adding the

project should be thrown out alto-gether.

“Why waste everybody’s time and energy with a project that’s not being taken seriously by the company that’s putting it forward? Anyone with common sense knows that a massive open pit mine sur-rounding a lake will not save that lake or any lake.”

Tsilhqot’in National Govern-ment chair Chief Joe Alphonse echoed Baptiste, saying it was good news to hear the project’s been delayed.

“It was surprising and not sur-prising,” Alphonse said of the let-ters. “Taseko feels it’s going to get the project approved through the political process and not a proper environmental one. It blows me away that they put so much re-sources into this and yet they are their own worst enemies when they say they don’t want any delays.”

All Canadians demand a high standard and the CEAA has shown those standards are going to be up-

held, Alphonse said.Brian Battison, Taseko’s vice

president of corporate and commu-nity affairs, said the panel is asking for something Taseko has already submitted.

“The work they refer to was done in the first proposal and there’s no need to do additional work. It has already been determined there will be no significant environmental ef-fects to 22 of 24 potential environ-mental impacts,” Battison said.

NEWSRebates offered to replace inefficient wood stoves

Are you looking for the right time to replace that smoke-belching wood stove you’re using? If so, the time is now.

Cariboo residents are being offered a cash incentive to up-grade their old wood stoves as part of the Cariboo Wood Stove Exchange Program.

There are 25 re-bates in total for the entire Cariboo region. It is on a first come first serve basis that residents who replace

older inefficient mod-els with more efficient and clean-burning ap-pliances can receive a cash rebate.

The first 25 stoves to be turned in are eligi-ble for a $250 provin-cial rebate, and if resi-dents live within the Williams Lake Airshed boundaries they will receive an additional $300 from the Wil-liams Lake Air Qual-ity Roundtable, mean-ing there’s as much as $550 available.

Did you know that

new certified wood stoves burn one-third less wood and can re-duce smoke and par-ticulate matter (pol-lution) entering the atmosphere by as much as 90 per cent!

Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution or PM, is a complex mixture of extremely small par-ticles and liquid drop-lets.

It is in everyone’s best interest to de-crease levels of this pollution in the air we

breathe. The Wood stove Ex-

change Program is not only helping British Columbians replace inefficient appliances but also helping to raise public awareness about the importance of smoke-free burn-ing.

For more informa-tion about the Wood Stove Exchange Pro-gram, call the Ex-change Hotline at 1 - 8 7 7 - 9 9 2 - 5 8 3 3 o r visit: www.breatheasy-williamslake.org

City of WL to present its provisional budget on Dec. 18

After two days of public budget meetings, 85 per cent of decisions have been made, and Williams Lake city coun-cil has authorized staff to prepare a provisional budget for presentation at its Dec. 18 council meeting.

“We’re still waiting for final year-end figures, surpluses, and the total assessments, so there are still variables out there that we don’t have yet, but we’re way ahead of the game. Staff have worked very hard to get this information far earli-er in the process,” Mayor Kerry Cook said Friday, adding it will give coun-

cil more time to go pub-lic with the budget.

One of the signifi-cant budget items that emerged centred on crime.

“There have been a lot of requests for dollars and manpower from the RCMP. With the recent attention to crime, we authorized staff to co-ordinate working with

the RCMP to co-ordinate some community meet-ings about awareness and education and going out to the community to see if they are prepared to pay more money to have an enhanced polic-ing service,” Cook said.

Cook said the Wil-liams Lake RCMP has exhausted everything possible within their cur-

rent resources to improve efficiencies and restruc-ture.

“Either this commu-nity will accept the status quo of where we’re at or we’re going to have to bite the bullet put some more money into further crime reduction.”

The meetings with the public will begin in early January.

“I think we’ll get far more response and buy in from the community because what the RCMP want is a target team of four or five people and that will cost an addition-al $400,000 to $500,000. It’s huge,” Cook said.

There will be a report coming out at the regular meeting Tuesday from an in-camera meeting

council had with Inspec-tor Warren Brown on Nov. 27.

“It will have a number of initiatives that we put forward all to do with policing. I don’t believe in just throwing money at a problem, but we’re putting forth a number of recommendations to add into what’s already being done.”

Chamber members urged to stand up for new Prosperity proposal

William Lake and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce past-president Walt Cobb is encourag-ing chamber members to sign up to speak to the review panel on New Prosperity Mine.

“We have to get our say in. It’s time for us to stand up,” Cobb said at the chamber meeting Thursday.

Upset by news that the Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Agency (CEAA) has sited de-ficiencies in Taseko’s Environmental Impact Statement, Cobb said he’d been on the phone to area MPs and MLAs to find out “what the heck” has happened?

On Nov. 30 Cobb also sent an e-mail to the as-sessment agency stating the panel’s request for additional information was “totally ridiculous” and that the panel was “grasping at straws” to find a way to cancel the project without consider-ing how it might benefit people in the region.

Asking Taseko to look ahead 100 years cannot possibly be done with any “sensibility or real-ity,” Cobb noted.

“This region needs the development now, and not what may be 100

years from now, or better yet to get us to the next 100 years.”

Taseko’s vice-pres-ident of corporate and community affairs Brian Battison was also at the chamber meeting Nov. 29.

Echoing Cobb, Bat-tison encouraged cham-ber members to sign up on the CEAA website to speak when the panel hearings take place in Williams Lake.

“Don’t be intimidated about standing up and telling them what your views are. Simply say I am a parent or a grand-parent, I own a small business, I’ve been here for X number of years and this is my view,” Battison said.

“Tell them whether you think it’s in the best interest of this commu-nity, your family, or your business,” he said, add-ing other people will par-ticipate and he wouldn’t want to see anyone miss-ing out on the opportu-nity.

Mayor Kerry Cook confirmed city council’s support for the project.

“In mid-September council was unanimous again in its support for the project and we made a resolution in that ef-fect so that when we went down to Victoria to the annual Union of

B.C Municipalities con-vention. We needed that resolution because New Prosperity came up in almost every one of our meetings with the minis-ters.”

Cook said the mine is an important opportunity for the community’s fu-ture.

In a reviewing the new proposal for the cham-ber Battison said an ad-ditional $300 million is being dedicated to miti-gate the environmental impact of the mine and save Fish Lake.

“That $300 million commitment includes the protection of Fish Lake, mitigating impact to the environment to the mine, and addressing the concerns that First Na-tions expressed during the first review,” Batti-

son said.The mitigation plan

has Taseko’s name on it, but was carried out by some of the “world’s fin-est experts in the field” who put together science that supports the new plan, he added.

“Their conclusion is that this plan has no sig-nificant adverse environ-mental affects,” Battison said.

“At a mine effluents, air quality, worker safe-ty, impact on the envi-ronment, vegetation and wildlife are all managed to the point where you can conclude that there is no significant environ-mental effects.”

Battison’s power-point presentation depicted a photograph of a man holding up a fish caught in the tailings facility at

Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine.“Right now we have a

considerable amount of healthy rainbow trout. Those trout have been there since the mid-80s and are monitored. They are healthy.

There’s nothing un-usual about the fish tissue, despite the fact they’re living in a tail-ings pond facility. That’s testament to the quality of water that exists there. We test them regularly.”

He said people can expect the same water quality at New Prosper-ity.

Sharing statistics he’s presented at previous meetings, Battison pre-dicted development of the mine would gener-ate $4.3 billion in federal government revenues over the 20-year life of

the mine, the provin-cial government would receive $5.5 million, and consumer spending would increase by $9 billion. Production rev-enues would be in excess of $11 billion, residential investment would in-crease by $786 million across the province, and non-residential construc-tion investment, in addi-tion to the mine would increase by over $1 bil-lion.

Investment in machin-ery and equipment by others would increase by $1.38 billion and the population of B.C. would increase by 5,400 because of the opportu-nities opened up by New Prosperity.

“It is our view that New Prosperity will dra-matically benefit First

Nations in the region,” Battison said.

“The provincial gov-ernment has said it is pre-pared to share a portion of the mineral tax with First Nations, which we estimate will be between $300 million and $400 million over 20 years.

They’ve (government) signed a couple of rev-enue sharing agreements with First Nations al-ready and the proportion they agreed to was 37.5 per cent.”

The mine also presents jobs, training, business and economic develop-ment in First Nations communities, he said.

“It’s a rare opportu-nity. These things don’t come along every day. It’s a chance to deliver large scale, lasting ben-efit for a lot of people.”

Cumulative effectneeds studying

“Cumulative effect is the effect of all man-kind’s activity, past, present and future, so we’re asked to assess that and we did that in the EIS. The panel is supposed to take into consideration the find-ings of the previous panel and the govern-ment decision that re-sulted from that.”

Battison said Taseko thinks it’s time for the public hearings to begin and the public to have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the project.

Ross followed up with a second letter to Taseko on Nov. 29, reiterating the panel’s request for additional information.

He said while the panel must consider

and assess the consoli-dated record (previous information and cur-rent information) to reach its own findings and recommendations, the fact the “previous panel concluded that there were no signifi-cant adverse cumulative effects on certain VECs and key indicators does not preclude this panel from assessing the issue for itself.”

As a business per-son, Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll said he’s al-ways looking forward for opportunities, ad-vantages and new chal-lenges that are on the horizon.

Speaking to the chamber after his for-mal installation by Mayor Kerry Cook Thursday, Ryll told members over the past year the chamber has been busy in the com-munity, both inside and out.

“Early spring we held our 17th annual business excellence awards and we look forward to doing that again in March 2013. Shortly after that a handful of the directors and staff attended the B.C. Chamber of Com-merce AGM in Pentic-ton,” Ryll recalled ad-mitting he anticipated being “bored out of his mind.”

Instead he walked away “invigorated and encouraged” by the work the local chamber

of commerce does.“It was encouraging

to see how influential our small chamber is when it comes to the voice of our business being heard throughout the rest of the prov-ince,” Ryll said.

Thanking staff, past directors, and volun-teers for their work, Ryll said that dedica-tion resulted in the chamber being award-ed accreditation with distinction from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

“We are one of only three in the en-tire country to receive that kind of an award. We regularly conduct training programs for small business through our world host certifi-cation program, mak-ing customer service training available to you our members and non members.”

The chamber has also provided business opportunities to meet with government of all levels to discuss con-cerns and challenges around moving the lo-cal economy forward.

“We’ve even taken some of those ministers

on tours through our downtown giving them and businesses an op-portunity to relate that message firsthand.

While that was inter-esting, I think it’s some-thing we need to contin-ue to do because if we don’t tell government what our challenges are as businesses then we are just making things harder for ourselves to surmount those chal-lenges,” Ryll said.

The chamber works with the Tourism Dis-covery Centre and in 2012 hosted more than

20,000 unique visitors in the building.

The building has also been used to host community events and craft fairs in an effort to make the building a focal point in the com-munity and for visitors, Ryll added.

Chamber staff and

directors also meet with businesses inter-ested in coming to Wil-liams Lake, he said.

“We saw the open-ing of the new Best Western Hotel, met with Spanish Moun-tain Gold, and are ex-cited about the recent announcement from West Fraser about their multi million dollar investment into their planer mill here in Wil-liams Lake that will create and sustain for-estry work here in the lake city.

“If my little birdies have told me what’s true, we can expect similar announcements in the future.”

Priorities for the chamber include small business education for youth in the commu-nity, business training, and customer training for workers of all ages, plus training for busi-ness owners approach-

ing retirement.“I look forward to

the challenges ahead

as your president and thank you for voting me in,” Ryll said.

Sargent inquest setThe BC Coroners

Service has announced dates for the public in-quest into the death of Blaine Conrad Sargent.

The inquest will take place from May 6 through 10, 2013, at the Williams Lake Court Services building in Williams Lake.

Sargent, 19, died at the University Hospi-tal of Northern British Columbia on Sept. 21, 2011.

He had been taken to hospital after going into medical distress at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre a short time after return-ing from a court appear-ance in Williams Lake.

Presiding coroner Donita Kuzma and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed wit-nesses to determine the facts surrounding this death.

While the jury may

not, by law, make any findings of legal respon-sibility, it will have the opportunity to make rec-ommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future.

An inquest is a formal process that allows for public presentation of evidence relating to a death.

Event Date: May 6 - 10, 2013, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Kiwanis donates $20,000 to improve downtown parkThe City of Williams

Lake will be in a posi-tion to begin work on two projects in Kiwan-is Park next year, due to a generous dona-tion from the Kiwanis Club.

The Club has donat-ed $20,000 to the city: $15,000 to improve the gazebo, and $5,000 to rebuild the water foun-tain.

“Partnerships are critical when it comes to community projects, and this contribution from the Kiwanis Club

is a perfect example,” says Mayor Kerry Cook.

“I know my grand-children are among the many that make use of Kiwanis Park, and these improvements will make a fantastic park that we can all be proud of even better.”

“The Kiwanis Club has always been a part of this park, and al-ways will be,” says Al-ison Sutherland-Mann, president of the Wil-liams Lake Kiwanis Club.

“We’re proud to continue this tradition with this contribu-tion.”

In June 2012, city staff were invited to do a presentation to the Kiwanis Club re-garding park improve-ments, staff presented a variety of projects to the club that they would be beneficial for a city/Kiwanis Club partnership.

The Kiwanis Club of Williams Lake has been an active service club since the 1950s,

and has donated to the park many times since then.

City staff will be-gin planning for these projects, which will in-clude concepts on how a new and improved water fountain should function and what it may look like.

The gazebo will re-quire a complete up-grade with a new look and possible larger size in order to accom-modate families and children that use the park on a daily basis.

Williams Lake RCMP respond to numerousnumerous motor vehicle break and entries

Nov. 28At 8:16 p.m. police

responded to a report that a native male was breaking fence boards at a residence on Cam-eron Street.

Police attended, however, patrols of the area were unsuc-cessful in locating the perpetrator.

Police were called to Second Avenue at 9:11 p.m. because a truck window was smashed. A male had fled after being confronted by the truck’s owner.

The perpetrator was described as a male wearing jeans and a striped black and blue hoodie pulled up over his head.

At 9:46 p.m. the RCMP responded to a report that a na-tive male dressed in dark clothing had thrown rocks, break-ing two panes of glass in the window of a residence on First Avenue North. Police patrols of the area were unsuccessful in locating the perpetra-tor.

Police responded to a report at 11:37 p.m. that a shed located at a residence on First Av-enue was being broken into after the owner of the residence reported hearing a loud noise outside.

The shed door was found opened; how-ever, no one was around. The owner of the shed didn’t think anything was taken at the time of reporting.

Nov. 29 At 12:09 a.m. the

RCMP received a complaint from the owner of a vehicle parked on Larch Street stating that the win-dow of their 2010 Dodge 1500 pickup had been broken out and the alarm was sounding.

Nothing was taken from the vehicle, how-ever, no description for the perpetrator could be determined.

While making pa-trols at 12:30 a.m. police noticed a blue Toyota Tundra truck parked on Longhorn Drive had the passen-ger window smashed. Upon checking the vehicle further po-lice heard footsteps of someone running away.

A possible sus-pect was described as a male with a dark hoody who had jumped a fence and ran away.

At 4:36 a.m. while making patrols in the Longhorn Drive area police noticed a Chev-rolet truck’s driver-side window smashed and contents strewn about. Police located and spoke with the owner who was un-aware that his vehicle had been broken into because the alarm was not activated. No pos-sible suspect has been identified.

RCMP responded to a call at 6:11 a.m. that a Dodge truck was broken into on Dairy Rd. The back window was forced open. There was dam-age to the window

possibly caused by a screwdriver, and the ignition was tampered with and laying on the floor mats of the truck.

The owner of the vehicle was unsure if anything that was taken.

Dec 2RCMP responded to

a report at 11:09 a.m. that someone attempt-ed to gain entry to a shed located at a resi-dence on Hull Road. Nothing was stolen as attempts to enter the shed were unsuc-cessful and damage was minimal.

At 12:21 p.m. RCMP responded to

a report that a 1993 blue Chevrolet pick up truck had been stolen sometime overnight while parked at a busi-ness on Mackenzie Avenue.

The owner of the vehicle had tools in the truck, along with a tidy tank and dry box.

The RCMP said they responded to more than 100 calls throughout the week-end, and Williams Lake Fire Chief Ran-dy Isfeld said the fire department responded to two emergency lift assists and two single motor vehicle inci-dents.

Focusing on wrong end of the problem

Have a safe holiday season

Last week two B.C. colum-nists touched on issues that, on the face of it, don’t

seem to be related. I think they are. Commenting on Premier Clark’s

plans for dealing with bullies fol-lowing the recent suicide of a bul-lied teenager, Black Press columnist Tom Fletcher wondered why she wasn’t as concerned about the num-ber of youth in the care of B.C.’s Ministry for Children and Family who kill themselves (15 in the last four years). Others are so despon-

dent they repeated-ly injure t h e m -s e l v e s . Inciden-t a l l y ,

B.C. ranks second worst in Canada in terms of child poverty but that’s another story.

Over to Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer, who is bemused by the amount of money Ms. Clark has spent, or is spending, on the adver-tising blitz touting her government’s economic strategy. He says she spent $34.5 million last year, and has bud-geted $29.5 million for this year.

I can’t help wondering what that money could do if it went to help children at risk. The children’s min-istry has too few staff to deal with the caseloads so youngsters fall through the cracks. There is a hiring freeze even though there are 29 vacancies. Children and Youth Advocate Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has been point-ing to the ministry’s shortcomings for a number of years but there have been problems for decades under six or seven premiers of different politi-cal stripes. In spite of the monumen-tal deficit, Ms. Clark says education and health will be protected. So ap-parently will be the money budgeted for the self-congratulatory govern-ment ads. We fuss and fume about youth gangs and young criminals, the high cost of policing, yada yada, but how many of these people are products of our dysfunctional child-care system? We focus on the wrong end of the problem.

At the other end of the age spec-trum, whatever happened about the appointment of a seniors advocate?

It’s hard to believe that it is De-cember already, with Christ-mas coming up in just a few

weeks. The holiday season is a won-derful time for visiting friends and family and enjoying the festivities. As we move into the winter season, however, it is important to keep safe-ty on the road in mind as we drive across town, or out of town, to visit our loved ones. Snow and ice condi-tions can make roads dangerous, but if we take the proper precautions, we can make sure that we and our loved ones stay safe.

F o r m o r e informa-tion on how to prepare for win-

ter driving conditions, WorkSafe BC’s Shift Into Winter campaign is a great place to start. On their web-site you can find all kinds of infor-mation on how to prepare your ve-hicle for winter conditions and how to prepare yourself for driving in those conditions. Some important tips include checking the current road conditions, which you can do at DriveBC.ca; planning your route ahead of time; leaving plenty of time so you’re not rushing; learning win-ter road skills ahead of time; leaving plenty of room between you and the vehicles ahead of you; and having an emergency plan in case anything happens. Reminding yourself to do all of these things will improve safety not only for you, but also for everyone else sharing the roads this winter season. For those who enjoy having a drink during the holidays, please remember that driving comes with a responsibility for safety. If you find yourself in a position where you are not one hundred per cent certain that you can drive home safe-ly, please remember Operation Red Nose. This wonderful community program helps get you home safely, and is both confidential and free. A volunteer driver and navigator will come to pick you up and get you home in your own car, so you don’t have to worry about leaving your vehicle behind. I urge you to take advantage of this great program, and enjoy your holidays responsibly.

Let’s all do our part to make sure that this Christmas is as safe as it is enjoyable.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Many opportunities to helpThere will be many opportunities this month to

help those less fortunate in our community.One way people can help that is coming up to-

morrow night is the 15th annual annual Yuletide Christmas Feast which is organized by volunteers and supported by local business.

The dinner will be served at the Ramada Conven-tion Centre between 4 and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5.

Individuals, community groups and businesses can help to support this event by sponsoring an in-dividual or a family. The suggested donation is $10 for an individual plate of $40 for a family.

Receipts for tax purposes are available.The dinner fed more than 600 people last year

and more people are expected to attend this year, say organizers.

The Tribune applauds all efforts by the commu-nity to help those less fortunate this holiday season.

People can help in many ways by donating at the Salvation Army kettles now set up around the com-munity or donating directly to the Salvation Army for the Christmas Cheer program.

People can also help by attending the Child De-velopment Centre’s Christmas Wish Breakfast coming up on Dec. 19 with the donation of a toy or food; attending the TubaJohn Christmas concert at St. Andrew’s United Church Dec. 12 at 7:30 p.m. with a donation for the food bank; bringing a dona-tion to the Tribune’s food and toy drive on Saturday, Dec. 15 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; putting a present for a child in need under the RE/MAX up-side down tree.

Many other businesses, community and church groups also have campaigns running to collect do-nations for families in need and we applaud them all and encourage people to donate as they are able to help people in need this holiday season.

please consider the future

Editor:

We undermine life’s founda-tions for all human beings. At COP 18, we witness the global “elites’” unwillingness and lack of ability to cooperate socially, blocking agreement to extend the Kyoto Accord. “Discord” is real-ity.

Canada has always been in dis-cord, withdrawing formally at Durban. The Conservative Gov-ernment of Harper, Peter Kent, Joe Oliver, etc., clearly know about billions of dollars of losses “externalized” from unlimited GHG’s, aside from deaths, im-measurable pain, grief, and suf-fering of people globally. Clark, Terry Lake? Us?

Extreme weather is here. Great-er extremes are coming. Wealth for the fossil fuel industry still has priority.

For “our” wealth, “elite” bom-bard us with importance of pipe-lines and LNG plants. Canada must be a world exporter of un-limited oil, gas, and coal. World GHG emissions rise annually at 3 per cent. Our “elite” recognizes no one is immune from the impact of global warming. Let no “radi-

cal environmentalist” intrude on elite “wisdom” to lead Canadians.

Would Independents, Liberals, NDP be different than Conserva-tives with Canada’s non-issue of “wealth” from fossil fuels? The EU is cutting their GHG emis-sions regardless of their current economic crisis.

Again, COP 18 agrees not to agree. Inaction past 2015 has dire consequences. Global tempera-tures will double from 8C to 1.6C, even if we stopped emitting CO2 today. If we do nothing, tempera-tures will reach 3C, or more by the end of this century. Count on more by 2050.

The 2C redline all nations agreed should be the “absolute” limit is dashed. We know no na-tion’s future is secure without binding agreement to limit GHGs.

After thought. What about the future of our very own dearly beloved, our own children and grandchildren? Have each of us seriously considered their “be-yond 2C” future, their 3C or more future, undermining life’s founda-tions for all human beings?

Thank you for efforts and positive outcome

Predator problems getting to be too much for Cariboo ranchers

Editor:

I am writing to thank the many, many people in this commu-nity who searched recently for a young man who was missing for a worrisome period of time, and who was, thankfully, found safe

and sound. This positive outcome was due to the tireless efforts of so many people. These people included a number of individual citizens, as well as the Williams Lake RCMP detachment and our local Search and Rescue team. Some of the people who searched

or helped with the search knew the young man; many did not, they simply got involved because they were concerned about a fel-low citizen, whom they heard was vulnerable due to the weath-er and other circumstances.

So many people came together

very quickly to make timely and strategic decisions. I hear later of many ways in which people helped out with this search that really touched the closest to this individual.

I am very proud to be a part of this community, and grateful

that we have such professional resources such as the RCMP and Search and Rescue at hand when we need them most.

Dear Editor:

Numbers don’t lie. We have a major predator problem in the Cari-boo. That latest BC Cattlemen’s As-sociation cattle loss survey for 2012 reveals 596 cattle lost to predators in the Cariboo based on 73 surveys re-turned. This represents 59 per cent of all reported losses for the province. Many more losses go unreported.

As ranchers we have always had to deal with predator problems but never to the current state which is epidemic in certain areas.

We recognize and appreciate the work of the B.C. Conservation Of-ficer Service but at present certain areas need a more vigorous revised wolf-management plan as predator losses are ‘crippling’ many ranches. I find it incomprehensible that the

good work of the conservation office service is hampered by budgetary retraints that do not allow them to an adequate supply of $87 traps. I have sent this same letter in reply to the requested public comment on the province’s draft wolf-management plan.

The Williams Lake Stamped-ers blasted themselves into the top spot of the Central Interior Hockey League East Division after picking up a pair of wins against divisional opponents Friday and Saturday.

Friday, the always tough Ques-nel Kangaroos rolled into town, only to be stopped dead in their tracks by a 6-1 thumping from the Stamps.

Francis Johnson (2-0-2) led the way with two goals, including a shorthanded marker in the third period, while Andrew Fisher (1-1-2), Nathan Zurak (1-2-3) and Jassi Sangha (1-3-4) also contributed on the scoreboard. Stamps netminder Justin Foote turned aside 33 of 34 shots in the winning effort, while Ryan Manderson was handed the loss for Quesnel.

Williams Lake general manager Kelly Kohlen said the team did a good job of playing a disciplined game, despite a handful of penal-ties near the end of the third period.

“When we stay out of their style of hockey we always seem to come out ahead,” Kohlen said. “They tried to get us in the last three min-utes there but the buys were disci-plined.”

The following night Williams Lake travelled to Lac La Hache to take on the Tomawhawks who, up until Williams Lake’s Friday night win, were tied with the Stampeders for first place in the East Division.

A few injuries in Friday’s game against Quesnel left Williams Lake with just a 14-man roster in Lac La Hache Saturday. That said, Williams Lake was able to squeak out a 6-4 road win over the Toma-hawks.

“We managed to beat them, and we had the right players,” Kelly said. “It was a good game. Lac La Hache played well.”

Nathan had a five-point night potting a goal and adding four as-sists, propelling him into the top spot in the CIHL scoring race with 13 goals and 11 assists for 24 points in 12 games. Both Jassi Sangha and Ryan Conlin added a pair of goals

versus the Tomahawks, while Da-vid Gore added a single. Scoring for the Tomahawks were Kevin McNab, Robin Gilbert, Wade Bal-birnie and Drew Rose. Both goal-tenders were sharp, with Foote and Tomahawk’s netminder Willie Sel-lars each stopping 30 shots.

“Ryan Conlin played really well

scoring the two goals, and that line with Jassi, Dave Gore and Mike Kohlen was good, too,” Kelly said.

With the pair of wins Williams Lake improves to 8-3-1 while the Tomahawks at 6-5-1, sit four points back of the Stamps in second. The Kangaroos, at 4-6-1, occupy the last spot in the East Division.

Female U16 camp coming up Jan. 5-6Williams Lake will

play host to one of three regional 2013 Fe-male U16 High Perfor-mance hockey camps in January.

The camp, sched-uled for Jan. 5-6 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, has been established to introduce eligible athletes to high perfor-mance hockey focusing on both on- and off-ice aspects of the game.

In an effort to emu-late national and in-ternational women’s hockey competitions, eligible players are in-vited to their zone’s U16 camp.

At the zone camps all player are given the op-portunity to represent their zones at the U16 High Performance pro-vincial competition.

There is a large learning component to

the U16 Zone Camps. The players will be coached and evaluated by High Performance staff members and given lessons on proper warm up technique, nutrition, strength and conditioning and game play. The importance of fitness is stressed as well as the need to have a year long train-ing plan in place.

The U16 level is the second stage of the Female High Per-formance Program. It builds on the concepts introduced at the U14 level and is intended as a lead in to the final phase of the program, the U18 level. From the athletes’ perspective the U16 level includes both on and off ice components. On-ice, the focus is on indi-vidual and team tactics necessary to be suc-

cessful at the high per-formance level. Off-ice training and informa-tion includes proper warm up and cool down techniques, nutrition for high performance athletes, strength and conditioning, mental preparation and fit-ness testing. The need for a yearly plan that incorporates all of the on and off ice compo-nents is stressed as the athlete transitions from the Learning to Train phase to the Training to Train phase of the Long Term Athlete Develop-ment Model.

All eligible athletes are encouraged to at-tend the camp in their zone. Along with the on and off ice content noted above, there is an important evalu-ation component to the camps. High per-formance evaluators

and team staff will select zone teams at the conclusion of the camps. Selected ath-letes will advance as a team to the provincial competition which al-ternates yearly between the BC Cup and the BC Winter Games.

Every other year BC Hockey partners with the BC Games society

making it possible for successful players from the Female U16 Zone Development Camps to compete in the BC Winter Games. The Fe-male U16 program al-ternates years between the U16 BC Cup and the Winter Games. In 2013, the program will compete in the U16 BC Cup.

Cariboo Bowling lanes helps variety launch B.C.-wide fundraiser

Cariboo Bowling Lanes in Williams Lake is teaming up with Vari-ety BC children’s char-ity to offer a two-month long fundraiser at the local bowling alley.

The campaign, Vari-ety BC Bowls for Kids, which started at the be-ginning of December and runs until the end of January, also part-ners with Bowl BC and Youth Bowling Canada to bring the event to bowling alleys across BC.

Cariboo Bowling Lanes is encourag-ing leagues, teams and individuals to collect pledges and bowl for Variety. This year marks the 27th anniversary of the campaign, which has raised $3 million for children who have special needs.

Brothers Oliver and Elliott Fallowfield of Burnaby are this year’s poster boys for Variety BC Bowls For Kids. In 2012 Variety dis-tributed grants to more than 1,300 families and 50 organizations for things like emergency transportation costs to out-of-community hos-pitals that help give children who have special needs the same chances in life as other children.

Oliver, 6, developed muscular dystrophy when he was 18 months old.

The disease affects his hands, feet, arms and legs. His core is off balance and he walks with an awkward gait. Oliver’s younger broth-er, Elliott, 4, was also diagnosed with disease.

The boys’ parents, Jennifer and Mike Fal-lowfield, reached out to Variety, who paid for Oliver and Elliott’s

physiotherapy, leg splints, hand splints and orthotics.

To help with physio-therapy the boys took up bowling.

“Oliver and Elliott love bowling,” Jenni-fer said. “The exercise is really good for them because it’s not too strenuous. And Oliver is over-the-moon to be the BC Bowls kids with his brother, Elliott. He says ‘I have this bad condition but I can help people, too!’”

If you, your business or community group would like to put a team together for Bowl for Kids contact Carlene Field, event co-ordi-nator with Variety BC by e-mail at [email protected], or by phone at 604-320-0505.

A small but dedicated group are the first intake of international students at Thompson Rivers Uni-versity in Williams Lake. Four in-ternational students enrolled in the two-year Licensed Practical Nurs-ing (LPN) program in September.

One morning, after writing an exam, three of the four students shared their experiences with the Tribune.

They’d been up late studying, and would be heading out to study for another exam the next day, they said.

All three arrived with some pre-vious university studies. Upleen Kaur, from Punjab India, was studying biological sciences at Ar-izona State for one year and then in Toronto for two years.

Kaur heard about TRU from an international student friend who is studying at TRU in Kamloops.

Priya Nikhil is the married one in the group. She is from Kerala

province in India and also heard about TRU from an international student friend.

She is a registered nurse in India and has attended university there.

“I did not plan to go to a particu-lar university but was researching different universities and trying to see what would be better for me.

There were many consulting agencies that could help us get a visa for study purposes, so I was going through an agency and they told me TRU was a good univer-sity. And my friend in Kamloops also said it was good,” Nikhil ex-plained.

Hailing from Manila, Philip-pines, Cyrille Soliman said she attended a TRU World seminar in March 2012 at her university back home.

“There were a few Bachelor of Science in Nursing students who were interested in taking nursing here and I was one of them. I am an RN back home,” Soliman said.

It’s a big adjustment coming from a city of 10 million people to

Williams Lake, she added, and at first she could not find much to do.

English is a second language for all of the students, and they are fluent.

“We don’t find any difficulty,” Nikhil said.

Although sometimes their ac-cents might be difficult for others to understand, Kaur added with a chuckle.

The students are living in home-stay situations close to the cam-pus.

They admitted they miss ethnic foods, their parents, and “every-thing,” but one of the biggest ad-justments has been the weather.

“We all come from places that have tropical weather,” said Nikh-il. “We’re used to 30 to 40 degree temperatures.”

Their class has 15 students, which is making school “easier” said Soliman. “How they pace the students here helps too.”

Nikhil described the teachers as “nice and helpful” and the other students as “nice.”

A $5,000 grant received by each student in the first year is also a “big help” because as internation-al students the fees are higher. The grant is paid out in two install-ments — one for each term, and is dependent on maintaining a C+ average or higher.

“It’s one of the reasons I moved here from Toronto because it makes it a lot easier financially,” Kaur said.

Kaur has a work permit and is employed part-time at the Husky and the Mohawk gas stations in town. One night she called up Nikhil to tell her someone from India was walking into the Husky.

“I’m from south India and haven’t found anyone from my state here yet,” Nikhil explained.

All three students are look-ing forward to their month-long practicums taking place during the month of December. They will have a practicum each term at care faciltities such as the Seniors Vil-lage.

“It should be fun,” Nikhil said.

International students settle in at TRU

Studio Theatre building committee established An ivitation has been issued

for people to join the Williams Lake Studio Theatre Building Committee. The Studio Theatre has formed a building commit-tee to explore the options in light of the possibility of the Glendale school closing, says chair Micheal Hodgson in a report posted by the Central Interior Arts and Culture Society.

He says the Studio Theatre has very limited financial resources. The building of a dedicated per-forming arts centre is not a finan-

cial possibility at this time.Members of the building com-

mittee will be tasked with explor-ing the following options:

1. Glendale School and the Williams Lake Studio Theatre have grown into a symbiotic rela-tionship. The Williams Lake Stu-dio Theatre fully supports Glen-dale School and its educational program of French Immersion and the progressive year-round school calendar that compliments the for-estry-based economy of the local area. We will discuss what the the-

atre society can do to support the efforts to keep the school open.

2. Should the school be closed, we need to explore the possibility of remaining in the gym area of the school as tenants of the school district. Electricity, heat, and water would have to be isolated from the school. Addi-tional costs would also have to be calculated, such as snow removal, heating charges, possible repairs, etc.

3. Moving the Studio The-atre to a new location.

4. Explore other options to file a recommendation to the the-atre executive.

“Williams Lake Studio The-atre is calling for participants and welcomes the public to sit on the committee,” Hodgson says. “Those with building experience would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to working towards a new and exciting future for our Theatre Society.”

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

City accepts$20,000 contribution

for Kiwanis Park upgradesThe City of Williams Lake will be in a

position to begin work on two projects in Kiwanis Park next year, due to a generous donation from the Kiwanis Club. The Club has donated $20,000 to the City: $15,000 to improve the gazebo, and $5,000 to rebuild the water fountain.

In June 2012, City staff were invited to do a presentation to the Kiwanis Club regarding park improvements, staff presented a variety of projects to the club that they felt would be bene� cial for a City-Kiwanis Club partnership. The Kiwanis Club of Williams Lake has been an active service club since the 1950s, and has donated to the park many times since then.

City staff will begin planning for these projects, which will include concepts on how a new and improved water fountain should function and what it may look like. The gazebo will require a complete upgrade with a new look and possible larger size in order to accommodate families and children that use the park on a daily basis.

Scout Island bridge brand newVisitors to Scout Is-

land last week may have noticed an excavator at work on the bridge across to the small island.

“We noticed the bridge was listing so our presi-dent, Fred McMechan, brought in Celtic En-gineering, who said it needed to be replaced,” says Jenny Noble, Scout Island Nature Centre co-ordinator.

“The old bridge comes out entirely, to be re-placed by a new structure on concrete footings. We hoped to do the whole process in one step so the far island wouldn’t be inaccessible any longer than necessary,” Noble says in her earlier report.

But she says that with the vagaries of Cariboo weather, Celtic Engi-neering opted to remove the old bridge and get the concrete footings in while the digging is still easy. They estimated one day’s work to place

the stringers once they’re delivered, and then the Williams Lake Field Naturalist volunteers jump in to lay the deck-ing and build the railings.

“Obviously we’ll get it all done just as quickly as possible, but it’s hard to estimate how long the process will take,” Noble says. The bridge was back in action by the Nov. 24 weekend.

Photos submittedEngineering worked to lay the foundation for the new bridge at Scout Island which was completed below with the help of volunteers.

Tribune reporter Monica Lamb-Yorski takes a walk on the new bridge at Scout Island that once again provides hikers with access to the island at the south end of the complex.

A family Christmas tradition that embraced a community contin-ues to support kids and families at 42 Country Club Blvd. in Williams Lake.

The 139 Christmas House is alight with whimsical and enter-taining displays that include a penguin ice rink, an elaborate gin-gerbread house, a San-ta tree fort, the 139 Ex-press and a bird house collection box for the 139 Children’s Fund-raising Society.

Ken and Julia Berry have been decorating their home for Christ-mas for 25 years—a tradition that evolved 14 years ago into a unique support for lo-cal kids and their fami-lies when they need to travel for medical treatment.

The project started with Ken and Julia and their kids, and now includes three ‘Ber-ry’ generations when grandkids are home for the holidays.

The 139 Christ-mas House has raised $16,000 for local kids, and Ken Berry ex-plained that they’re getting close to their long-time goal of $20,000.

“That first year we hoped to raise $100 but when the bird house collection box went up, we raised nearly $800—what a

surprise,” he said, “and the rest is history.”

It’s a constantly evolving project, with fun new displays going up every two weeks from now until the first week of January, and with the bird house beside the sidewalk to collect donations.

“When our kids were 10 and 12 we regis-tered with a local real-tors’ Christmas lights tour and really got into it,” Berry continued. “The realtors would judge the displays and announce the winner in the Tribune. We won the first year we entered the contest.”

The family tradition of putting up creative Christmas light dis-plays started when he was a child.

“My dad and I used to decorate the house together. My mom would come home from her job at Wood-wards and we would surprise her with a lighted house when she got home,” he noted.

“We carried this on with our own kids; our son got into mak-ing log reindeer and it grew from there.”

He said that choos-ing to support local kids and families when they needed it the most

was, really, no choice at all.

“My wife and I were both teachers, and we wanted to be able to help people having difficulties when they needed to get their kids to Vancouver for treat-

ment. We wanted to help take some stress off them and let them just be with their kids.”

Berry already has 70 hours into the 30-thou-sand-light project.

He said that the lights are on every day from 5 until 11 p.m. with donations wel-come in the lighted bird house beside the sidewalk.

H e a r t - w a r m i n g highlights on the side-walk at 42 Country Club include Christ-mas caroling, wed-ding proposals, the occasional Santa ap-pearance and a simple social occasion where neighbours and friends stop to visit.

“Our neighbours are very understanding and supportive, toler-ating the line-ups of vehicles,” Berry con-tinued.

“They have even sent out hot chocolate to me while I’m work-ing on the displays.

“Come and see the lights and help a child,” he said. “Stop and enjoy the mo-ment—it’s Christmas.”

stampede Princess terris Billyboy enjoys edmonton

The 2012 rodeo season has come to an end and Williams Lake Stampede Royalty got to wrap it up with the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, Al-berta.

We started with my mom and I, Princess Ter-ris Billyboy, taking the long drive through beau-tiful British Columbia.

Arriving in Edmonton late Friday night, we then spent the entire day Sat-urday in West Edmonton Mall.

Sunday, Nov. 4 we took part in cheering on the 2013 Miss Rodeo Canada contestants dur-ing the horsemanship competition.

This year’s contestants were Nicole Schlaak, Miss Okotoks; Sarah Mi-chel, Miss Grand Prairie Stampede; and Gillian

Shields, Miss Rodeo Airdrie.

Monday, Nov. 5 Farm Fair International offi-cially opened and what an amazing adventure that was.

There were so many vendors in one location selling everything from boots and boot polish to western wear and décor, as well as, horse trail-ers and living quarters. Across from Farm Fair in the same building, the Expo Center held the Ranch Rodeo. The Ranch Rodeo has similar events to the Ranch Challenge which is held in Williams Lake during Stampede.

A huge thank-you to the Wine Glass Ranch for donating tickets to us so we could watch and cheer on local teams from the Cariboo.

Tuesday afternoon the contestants running for Miss Rodeo Canada

had their public speaking event.

The three contestants presented their prepared speeches, read an article and answered an im-promptu question.

Later in the evening the girls took part in a fashion show, modeling clothes from Lammle’s

and Women’s Fashions. For part of the fashion

show the girls got to use their own clothes and each contestant modelled their beautiful western dresses.

The finals set of clothes the girls modelled was their pajamas, where we got to see onezies, stick

ponies and hair rollers falling out of their hair.

Right after the fash-ion show we were off to the Ranch Challenge to watch the final round where they chose the winning ranches.

Wednesday morning we woke up to copious amounts of snow. My cowboy boots did not work well with this par-ticular weather, I was spinning out on my own two feet! We used this day to explore the shop-ping Edmonton had to offer other than the West Edmonton Mall.

With determination and help for balance, both my cowboy boots and I made it.

To finish the day the Canadian Finals Rodeo had their first perfor-mance by introducing all the competitors in grand entry and Dean Brody opening with a few songs.

I was blown away with the amazing performance put on by the Cowboys and Cowgirls. There were lights and fireworks throughout the whole show and I could not look away, because I did not want to miss a thing.

My favourite part of this entire trip was Thurs-day morning when I was invited to represent Wil-liams Lake in the Rodeo Magic.

This event is held in the CFR arena where ro-deo royalty and the CFR contestants show special needs children the events of rodeo. Everyone was paired up with a child. They could then take part in horseback rid-ing, wagon rides, barrel racing, horse shoe toss, roping a bale of hay and riding the bucking bar-rel. Some even got their face painted; most chil-dren and cowboys got a

“Cowboy Moustache.” I was honoured to take part in this event and I hope next year’s royalty will be invited back to participate in such an amazing and rewarding experience.

At this point I would like to take the time to thank the Williams Lake Stampede Association, the City of Williams Lake and all our sponsors who made our trip to Edmon-ton and all our other rode-os we attended possible.

It has all been an expe-rience of a life time and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. And I can’t forget the biggest thank you to all the chaperones we have had, my mom Brigette, my grandma Pat, Alexis’ parents Silvia and Calvin, who treat me like I’m their own daugh-ter, and the lady that coor-dinates it all, Jamie.

We couldn’t do it with-out any one of you.

Stampede Princess Terris Billyboy (left) and Stampede Queen Alexis Forseille participated in the Santa Claus Parade.
