The Timber Kings show on the Home and Garden Network con-tinues to thrill audiences and build fans worldwide.

Many of those fans made a spe-cial trip to the sports shop at Ca-nadian Tire Sunday where Pioneer Log Homes of BC owner André Chevigny and builder Joel Roorda autographed pictures and talked with fans.

Canadian Tire owner Jim An-derson said the special event was held to promote the Timber Kings show Sunday night that was all about Pioneer Log Homes build-ing the impressive log structure for the Williams Lake store.

Anderson said there was a steady stream of visitors during the three-and-a-half hour event.

Visitors were treated to free hot dogs and drinks as well as free fish-ing lures and Canadian Tire hunt-ing hats.

Among the fans chatting with the stars were Rob Sandrock and Lindsey Newell.

Lindsey is originally from Ire-land and was getting pictures of the stars signed to send to her fa-ther in Ireland who is also a car-penter and is interested in the work of the company.

She is also having Pioneer make a custom picture frame for her best friend’s wedding which she will at-tend in Ireland this spring.

The custom frame will have the

names of her friends carved on it along with the date they are get-ting married.

Joel said he has worked on proj-ects in Scotland several times and will work on his first project in Ire-land this year.

Several other local venues and people have been featured in the hit show including the Cariboo Memorial Hospital, the Cariboo Bethel Church and Brock Hoyer and the Williams Lake Dirt Rid-er’s Association’s motocross track.

This issue may contain the following � yers: Save On, Brick, Staples, Brick #2, London Drugs, Sobey’s, Mark’s, Home Hardware, Canadian Tire.

The life and tragic death of an 18-year-old boy from the Yunesit’in First Nation will be the subject of a coroner’s inquest next month in Kamloops.

Jacob George Se-

tah had been held in a secure ward at Royal Inland Hospital in Ka-mloops for six days in June 2014 when he was able to flee from the ward and make his way to the top of a nearby parking structure.

Kamloops RCMP members were on scene

when the teen sustained fatal injuries June 15, said Barb McLintock of the BC Coroners Ser-vice.

The fact that Setah was being held against his will under the Men-tal Health Act at the time of his death and that he was only 18 fac-

tored into the need for an inquest, McLintock said.

She added the inquest will be looking into the role of the hospital, ex-amine information from the police on scene and also look into Setah’s history and possibly make recommenda-

tions aimed at prevent-ing deaths under similar circumstances in the fu-ture.

She said an investiga-tion by the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. was conducted prior to the inquest be-cause the death occurred in the presence of police.

Tsilhqot’in National Chief Joe Alphonse said it is critical that mental health issues be taken seriously and he hopes findings from the in-quiry will serve to help others.

“It’s very unfortu-nate a life was lost,” Al-phonse said Tuesday.

“But (conducting the inquest) is a way to honour him and ensure anyone else living with these challenges will get the help they need.”

McLintock said the inquest will begin April 11 at the Kamloops Courthouse and is ex-pected to last five days.

About 175 people crammed into the cafe-teria at Thompson Riv-ers University Thurs-day evening to learn more about Atlantic Power’s proposal to upgrade its biomass-fu-eled electricity plant in Williams Lake to burn used railway ties.

The proposal is to add up to a 50 per cent mix of railway ties to the wood waste from the forest industry that currently fuels the plant.

But it seemed that most people left the meeting with more questions than answers.

The ad hoc group of concerned citizens organizing the meeting planned a short infor-mation session from 6 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 25 but many peo-ple ended up staying on and talking about the issue in small groups for another hour and a half after that.

“I’m happy about two things,” said Bette McLennan, one of the organizing commit-tee members. “A lot of people came out and a lot of people went home stirred up about the issue.”

Bruce Mack moder-ated the meeting.

Jim Hilton talked about research he has done on Atlantic Power’s studies related to potential air qual-ity problems associ-ated with burning rail-way ties that have been treated with creosote, a known carcinogen.

Bert Groenenberg talked about the air quality monitoring sys-tems in the city.

In their own re-search, Mack said the committee couldn’t find any clear answers about how the project would impact the city’s air quality.

The speakers encour-aged people to use the avenues available to them to voice their con-cerns.

Information papers provided advised peo-ple to send letters of concern to [email protected].

They also referred people to a question and answer forum at the Atlantic Power website at www.atlanticpower.com/williams-lake.

People were also ad-vised that they could see letters that local people had written about the proposed project by going to the website breatheasywilliamslake.org/railway-ties/.

People expressed concern about how the Ministry of Environ-

ment could make a decision on the project without more research. Some people called for a health risk assessment study to be done.

Information sheets also provided some technical information about air pollutants such as dioxin, furan, chlorophenols and var-ious sizes of airborne particulates.

There was lots of back and forth debate over whether Atlan-tic Power’s proposed upgrades to burn the rail ties would actually work to prevent a dete-rioration in the city’s air quality.

Officially, Atlantic Power was not repre-

sented at the meeting, however, one employee, who said he was there for his own informa-tion and didn’t wish to be identified by name, tried to answer some of the many questions people had about how the system would work. He said he trusted that Atlantic Power would meet environmental regulations.

Others said the cur-rent regulations are old and don’t meet today’s expectations for clean air and a healthy envi-ronment.

There were also con-cerns that leaching from the ash piles left by the burning of rail ties would have a detri-

mental impact on Wil-liams Lake’s already fragile aquifer.

There was also de-bate back and forth on whether the opera-tional system proposed by Atlantic Power was the same type of sys-tem that was rejected by the communities of Kamloops and Salmon Arm.

At least three people who live near the At-lantic Power plant said they had noticed a reduction in air qual-ity around their homes since the plant went into operation in 1993.

There were com-plaints about an oily residue on their vehicles periodically; waking up

with sore throats; and having an oily, chemical taste in their mouths.

There were also com-plaints at the meeting about a noxious odour coming from the Wil-liams Lake Atlantic Power’s current wood-chip pile that they said caused sore throats.

Peter Epp, who was not one of the formal presenters, made a pas-sionate presentation about how the plant was originally sup-posed to be located up on a mountain away from the core commu-nity where any residue from burning would blow away from the city. He said the plant should never have been

located in the Williams Lake valley which is subject to thermal in-versions.

Others provided sup-porting comments that plants burning railway ties should only be lo-cated in rural areas well away from community settlements.

There was also de-bate over the econom-ics of the proposal in relation to bringing in waste wood to burn in the plant that is now left in the bush by log-ging operations.

One person suggest-ed the city should just let people have a vote on the issue.

People also wanted to know why Atlan-tic Power and the city didn’t have represen-tatives at the meeting and what local doctors thought about the pro-posal.

Mack said invita-tions were sent to these groups. He said Atlan-tic Power had agreed to make a presentation but later rescinded the offer.

Sign-up sheets were also sent around the room for people who wanted to be kept in-formed about future community meetings on the issue and receive information the com-mittee may discover in its research.

Concerns aired over bid to burn ties

Gaeil Farrar photoThe TRU cafeteria was filled to capacity last Thursday evening with people wanting to learn more about Atlantic Power’s proposal to burn railway ties at its Williams Lake facility.

Inquest called into the death of Yunesit’in youth

Two men were sent to hospital with serious injuries following an altercation in Williams Lake early Sunday morning.

According to Staff Sgt. Del Byron of the Williams Lake RCMP,

police were called to the parking lot of the Overlander Pub at 1:12 a.m. after receiving a 9-1-1 call of a fight.

Police arrived to find the victims, ages 20 and 21, injured and in need of medical assis-tance.

Byron said both vic-tims were taken to hos-

pital.Witnesses reported

that the victims were assaulted by three to four suspects who fled to a nearby taxi and left the scene.

The matter is still un-der investigation, how-ever, Byron said police suspect the incident was drug-related.

Police scanners go silent

RCMP scanners in Williams Lake went quiet last month.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron confirmed the local de-tachment made the switch from the regular channels to a digital system in Feb-ruary.

The change means the

general public will no longer be able to listen in on conversations between dispatch and officers.

Byron said he wel-comes the technology upgrades, as it will pro-tect the integrity of police investigations and help stop “the bad guys” from knowing what the police are up to.


TRUSS PLANT CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAYMonica Lamb-Yorski

photoConstruction is underway for the future home of Cameo Truss which is relocating from 100 Mile House to Williams Lake. The site, which is located near the railyards, will have an office building, saw shop and truss plant and is expected to be completed by the end of April.

Pub fight sends two to hospital

Williams Lake city council’s support for GPS tracking of prolific offenders has garnered the at-tention he hoped it would, said Coun. Scott Nelson Tues-day.

Last week at their regular council met-ing, Nelson, along with Mayor Walt Cobb, Councillors Craig Smith and Laurie Walters en-dorsed a resolution supporting GPS tracking on prolific and repeat offenders who are considered risks to their com-munities. Councillors Ivan Bonnell, Jason Ryll and Sue Zacha-rias were absent.

“It certainly picked up the attention we wanted,” Nelson said. “It reached all the way from com-munities like Wil-liams Lake to Prince George, to Vancou-ver and all the way over to Ottawa.”

When asked if the idea to implant GPS tracking chips into prolific offenders was embarrassing, Nel-son responded with a firm no.

“No. What I’m embarrassed of and frustrated about is we can’t seem to get rid of this top crime ranking,” he said.

“Ultimately, the goal is to push our name off the top of that list. If someone else has a better idea then bring it for-ward.”

In passing the res-olution last week, council said they wanted to raise awareness that a small group of peo-ple are causing 80 per cent of the chaos in communities.

Nelson said he stands by his sugges-tion that injecting GPS tracking chips could be an option.

“If you can put a

real time GPS on a telephone, into a ve-hicle, into animals there is no reason in the world why we can’t put a better system in place, such as real time GPS tracking on prolific offenders,” Nelson said, adding he didn’t care if it’s injected in the arm, the leg or the behind.

“I want to make sure we know where these people are 24/7, 365 days of the year.”

Scott said last Monday afternoon’s robbery of a 14-year-old’s BMX at gun-point has shone a spotlight on the se-rious crime prob-lem facing Williams Lake.

“We cannot have the RCMP every-where 24/7. There are prolific offenders out there that don’t care about Williams Lake, communities or in-dividuals so we have to take the next step to provide protection for our community.”

Cobb said al-though the media’s frenzy on Nelson’s suggestion of insert-ing chips “got every-thing out of whack,” for the most part the response to council’s

resolution has been good.

“We’ve had calls from our MP Todd Doherty who attend-ed some of our crime

task force meetings we had in the com-munity before he was elected,” Cobb said.

“I’m meeting with him on Saturday and we will set up a game plan before he meets with the federal Min-ister of Justice next week.”

Cobb said the Boys and Girls Club in Williams Lake is looking at the possi-bility of co-ordinat-ing adult chaperones for the skate park in the summer months.

“I don’t know if it will work but if peo-ple are willing to try something like that, why not?”

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27(CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)

COMMUNITY EDUCATION DISCUSSIONSThe Board of Education invites organizations and members of the public to an Education Discussion. Three topics of conversation will be addressed:

1. Development of a Board level Strategic Plana. What do you remember as the best learning experience you had in (or out of) school?b. What is the School District doing well?c. What opportunities, that are not currently in place, do you see as valu-able for students?

2. Rural Education: What is working? What can we do better? And any other comments?

3. School Trustee Electoral Boundaries: review 3 options to realign Trustee Electoral Zones (currently there are seven in the District) and also the impacts of mail-in ballots and reducing the number of polling stations. The 3 options (which do not alter the number of trustees) are:

i. Maintain 7 zones and conform to CRD boundaries (mostly affecting the City and fringe of Williams Lake).ii. Reduce to 3 zones with elections at large: 100 Mile House area (3 trustees); Williams Lake area (3 trustees), Rural (west and east) (1 trustee.iii. Reduce to 2 zones with elections at large: 100 Mile House area (3 trustees) and Williams Lake area (include west and east rural areas) (4 trustees)

What’s wrong with the image?

When my grandchildren were small, I made a deal with some of them that when I was old, they would

take me around and about in a wheelbarrow. They’ve never done it. When I mentioned

this my two oldest great-grandchildren (cous-ins) the other day, GGS#1 looked at me like I was crazy, GGD#1 burst out laughing. As it happened, her mother (one of the potential wheelbarrowers) overheard the conversation. She pointed out I had threatened to visit said grandchildren when they had homes of their own and jump on their beds and eat all the good stuff in their fridges (payback time) and I haven’t done it. Yet. Jumping on beds might be a challenge but I certainly could raid their

fridges.***

Quesnel council is seeking a brand-ing consultant to help the city find a new identity and shed its reputation

as a “rough-and-tumble logging town.” I hope they have better luck than we did a few years ago when we nearly became the Republic of Life.

Question: What’s wrong with the logging or cowboy image?

***Haven’t heard any yowling yet about B.C.

car insurance rates increasing yet but plenty of people are peeved about increased hydro and health insurance rates. Critics say B.C. Medi-cal Services Plan premiums are a regressive form of taxation that puts some $2.5 billion in the government’s coffers. It certainly helps balance the budget but it puts another dent in people’s pocket books.

According to B.C. Finance Minister Mi-chael de Jong, low-income families in B.C. might pay more than double the total tax they would in Alberta or Quebec, but less than they would in other provinces. Mr. de Jong says B.C. had the lowest provincial per-sonal income taxes for individuals earning up to $122,000 in 2016, and that in most wage brackets, we are second or third lowest in the country. However, according to The Tyee, a table at the back of the Budget and Fiscal Plan — 2016/17 to 2018/19 shows poorer families actually do worse in B.C. when the overall tax picture is considered.

Sign your child up

Do you have young children or grandchildren? You can help cre-ate successful futures for them by

accessing the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant to kick-start their post-sec-ondary education savings.

To be eligible for the $1,200, children must have been born in 2007 or later, and they must be resident in B.C., along with a par-ent or guardian. Families have three years, or until the day before their child’s ninth birth-day, to submit an application for the grant when their child becomes eligible.

One investment we will make as part of Budget 2016, within our three-year fiscal plan, is $39 million to extend the BC Train-

ing and Education Savings Grant to include children born in 2006. Ex-panding this grant to include children born in 2006 will help make post-

secondary education and training more af-fordable and accessible for up to 40,000 eli-gible kids.

With the $1,200 grant and an investment of $50 a month, savings could grow to $12,000 in 13 years (based on a 3.5 per cent annual growth rate). Growth of funds will depend on the amount invested and actual returns. It is anticipated that in the next de-cade, about 80 per cent of the job openings in B.C. will require some form of post-sec-ondary education and training. Our govern-ment wants to help British Columbians ac-cess skills training opportunities so they can get good-paying, family-supporting jobs and participate in B.C.’s strong, growing and di-verse economy. Whether your child dreams of becoming a nurse, a welder, or an engi-neer, they can achieve their goals through post-secondary education. The B.C. training and Education Savings Grant is a great way to help our students start saving for post-sec-ondary education. To access the B.C. Train-ing and Education Savings Grant, visit The Williams Lake and District Credit Union or the Bank of Montreal.

For more information about the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, call 1-888-276-3624 or visit www.gov.bc.ca/BCTESG.

Our Viewpoint

Pets deserve kindnessThe pets owned by British Columbians

are usually well cared for. Whether they have pampered indoor animals or muddy-pawed working dogs and barn cats, people generally take their health and well being seriously.

When there are incidents of animal abuse and neglect, the general population is shocked. The death of six dogs in a dog walker’s truck caused an uproar. More re-cently, an alleged puppy mill was busted in Langley’s Glen Valley, and a large number of cats and more than a dozen dogs seized from a breeder and kennel operator on Colebrook Road just across the municipal boundary in Surrey.

This week, the B.C. government an-nounced changes to the code of practices for kennel operators and cat and dog breeders.

The new rules will provide for minimum space for animals, a duty to provide im-mediate veterinary care, and may include proactive monitoring and enforcement for breeders. That last part sounds like a good idea — a few random inspections could go

a long way to clean out the dark corners of the industry.

More than a third of Canadians own a cat or a dog, according to a survey last year by the Canadian Animal Health Institute.

We owe it to our pets to take good care of them, and to ensure that care is being taken of the industries that supply us with pets.

Animals come into our lives from repu-table breeders, from friends with litters, and from animal shelters. They become part of our families, providing compan-ionship. All they ask is food and shelter and care, and sometimes a tossed ball or a warm lap on which to sleep.

People sometimes question why the public seems to get angrier about crimes against animals than about violent crimes involving adult humans. The simple reason is that, like children, animals didn’t make any choices to be where they are. They are entirely at the mercy of their owners. We owe it to them to ensure that their owners do not fail them.

Question of the week

The Horsefly Women’s Institute thanks everyone who participated in our annual fundraiser, “The Sha-ron Thomas Annual Lunch and Si-lent Auction,” held on Dec. 5, 2015.

The event was a huge success and would not be possible without the generous support from the numer-ous Williams Lake and Horsefly businesses, as well as individual donors.

The funds raised through this event help support the Horsefly community and its organizations.

Suzie AmbrosePresident, Horsefly Women’s

Institute***

I’d like to send a garden full of roses to Pat Coster, and the five young men, Kevin Sokolan, Cole Leclerc, Dylan Taylor, Steve Chip-

man and Jordan Murphy. On Feb. 9 they, without hesita-

tion, after I flagged them down on the road, jumped out to save my

30-year-old horse who had slipped and fallen on the ice.

Without concerns for themselves, they managed to get her head up, feet under her, and lifted her up.

They stayed to hold her up, and steadied her to lead her to a safe place.

I never would have been able to save her without their help. It’s peo-ple like you who restore my faith in humanity.To the person who called the police, you only added to an al-ready stressful situation.

Political correctness needs to stopEditor:

I read a newspaper article last week about Williams Lake.

It concerns the implant of GPS trackers into prolific of-fenders.

Hooray for Mayor Walt Cobb and city council for pushing this idea.

I think something like this is long overdue.

I am also of the ilk: political correctness has to go the way of

the dodo bird — especially in this type of circumstance.

I just want to say that Cobb has my vote.

Atlantic Power extends tour invitations to public

Editor:

We understand the public has concerns about emissions from the plant and their impacts on human health and the airshed.

Air Modeling Study was com-pleted by RWDI, an independent engineering firm. It was designed in accordance with the techni-cal requirements specified by the Ministry of Environment (MoE), and in direct consultation with the MoE’s air quality meteorologist. The model used by RWDI is wide-ly accepted throughout North America.

While not required to do so, Atlantic Power (APWL) took the additional step of commissioning a Human Health Impact Study.

Both studies concluded that emissions from burning rail-ties at a 50 per cent mixture are within the applicable B.C. standards or, if no B.C. standards exist, Ontario standards, and do not pose a sig-nificant risk to human health or the environment.

The current B.C. limit for di-oxins and furans is 100 parts per billion (ppb). A stack test of plant emissions from a 100 per cent mix-

ture of rail-ties confirm that dioxin and furan emissions would be less than 3.4 ppb — or 3.4 per cent of the limit established to protect hu-man health and the environment.

Some commentators have sug-gested the level of dioxins and fu-rans in the ash created from burn-ing rail ties would increase 1,500 per cent. What those commenta-tors are not telling you is that the total level of these constituents would still be just 0.394 parts per billion — or less than 0.5 per cent of the 100 ppb limit established to protect the public.

The provincially permitted limit for measured particulate emissions (which include both PM10 and PM2.5) is 50 milligrams per cu-bic metre (mg/m3). The emissions from the plant over the course of the last 13 years have average 6.3 mg/m3, or 12.5 per cent of that limit. The stack test using 100 per cent rail ties showed no increase in PM compared to our current bio-mass fuel supply.

We hope that the above infor-mation provides some context within which to view our ongoing commitment to transparency in this process, and our commitment

to the human, environmental, so-cial and economic health of this community.

As part of our ongoing engage-ment, APWL will be hosting a se-ries of public tour opportunities in the month of March. Tours take place on Tuesdays and Wednes-days from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. be-tween March 15 and March 30. All are welcome. Book a tour by e-mailing [email protected].

The Air Modelling Study and Health Impacts studies that were done to assess our project are both available at the public library. A full Q&A document from the per-mitting process can be found at www.atlanticpower.com/williams-lake.

Atlantic Power signed a formal community benefits agreement with the Williams Lake Indian Band in January. We have also re-ceived letters of support for our application from City Council, the Cariboo Regional District, the Williams Lake Indian Band and the Chamber of Commerce.

Wooden Horse-men is a seven-piece “neo-swamp rock” outfit from Vancou-ver.

It started more or less as the singer-songwriter project of Steve Beddall (in fact the project used to be called Wooden Horseman. . . s ingu-lar).

Over the past few years it has grown into a high energy genre-smashing par-ty experience.

Folks from the Cariboo might re-member them light-ing the place up when they headlined Saturday night at Arts on the Fly 2016.

They’ve busted their backs play-ing festivals all over B.C., including a

coveted spot at Tall Tree Music Festival.

Since rocking the AOF stage last sum-mer they’ve finished a brand new record, Sentient.

They’ll be bringing their set to the Arts Centre this Friday March 4.

Opening the night is the premier gig for local soon-to-be-fa-vourites Bush Party.

I must admit I was

worried when they told me the name they had settled on, but was pleasantly surprised to see their bizarre and self-re-flexive youtube vid-eo, Flock O’ Sausage Links.

I can’t wait to see these cats in their glory.

There is a video of the band on face-book .com/groups /s a f e t y m e e t i n g w i l -

liamslakeThe Safety Meet-

ing concerts are pre-sented by the Arts on the Fly Festival Society.

Tickets are avail-able at Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed.

Tickets are at Red Shreds suggested $15. Bar is provided, with proceeds going to the Cariboo Festi-val Society.

The Women’s Con-tact Society is hosting WOW 2016: Women, Opportunities, Wed-dings Sunday, March 6 at the Thompson Riv-ers University gymna-sium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

WOW 2016 is both a bridal fair and a busi-ness fair.

“We will have a fash-ion show which will include bridal wear as well as other formal wear,” says event co-ordinator Ashlee Hyde.

“This event will give people the chance to see what our commu-nity offers in regards to businesses, home-

based and locally owned. There will be door prizes and a vari-ety of vendors to check out.”

Funds raised go to the Beauty from the Inside Out program for teen girls.

Steven Palmer in concert Friday at St. Andrew’s Gospel-folk singer

Steven Palmer will be performing in concert at St. Andrew’s United Church in Williams Lake on Friday, March 4 starting at 7 p.m.

Born in Edmonton, Palmer began jamming with friends in high school and formed his first band, The Time Machine, in 1966.

The band tried to play a lot of Wilson Picket and Otis Red-ding soul music to some very puzzled small town

dance crowds, Palmer says in his biography.

“My next groups were more successful, playing our original psychedelic-folk rock at light shows and be-ins,” Palmer says.

One of these groups, The Warp Factor, got to open locally and regionally for several ‘name’ acts of that time.

He says Led Zeppelin was probably the big-gest ‘name’ they opened for, but they enjoyed meeting and hanging

out with The Who, Spencer Davis Group, Eric Clapton (Cream), Jesse Colin Young and The Guess Who.

Through the 1970s Palmer became a touring guitarist with lounge and night club acts. In the 1980s he at-tended Capilano Col-lege to study voice and arranging.

“After that I started a career as a guitarist/vocalist at first leading my own wedding bands then progressing to solo

work,” Palmer says.Palmer has now re-

corded four albums with a fifth on the way.

His focus is on con-cert work and tours throughout Canada. He is hoping to add Eu-

rope and the U.S. to his tour schedule.

St. Andrew’s United Church is located at 1000 Huckvale Place, just off Midnight Drive. Tickets are $15. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Parade of Choirs an enchanting afternoon of music

Directed by Michelle Erlandson and accompanied by Heather Froese Quintet Plus sang Lass from the Low Countree, Time in a Bottle, Home and You Raise Me Up.

The Seniors’ Choir directed by Sherry Taylor, and accompanied in part by Lorraine Baker, who also likes to sing, so most of their songs were done a cappella. The Seniors’ Choir sang Dona Nobis Pacem, Moon River, I Have a Dream, I’m Gonna Walk on Home and Wade on the Water.

Accompanied by Curtis Wolfe on fiddle the Eclectica choir from 100 Mile House performed the Irish folk song The Rising of the Moon. The choir also sang My Funny Valentine, The Prayer, and Words of Chief Seattle. Eclectica was directed by Barbara Hooper and accompanied by Donna Forward.

Gaeil Farrar photoDirected by Carl Johnson and accompanied by his wife, Sherry, the Cariboo Men’s Choir sang On the Street Where You Live, Loch Lomond, Yesterday, The Snows of New York, Bring Him Home, and Maria. Between the Cariboo Men’s Choir songs, Carl paid a moving tribute to the choir’s long-time accompanist Jerry Tickner who passed away the day before the concert.

The annual Parade of Choirs is not only a great way to lift your spirits in the doldrums of winter, but a wonderful fundraiser for Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

The Parade of Choirs helps to raise funds for the Hough Memo-rial Cancer Society which purchas-es equipment for the hospital used in the early detection of cancer.

At the end of the concert held Sunday afternoon at Cariboo Bethel Church, Hough Memo-rial president Bob McIntosh an-nounced that the event had raised $3,069.75.

He thanked the community and the “choir of angels” performing for supporting the event.

“As it takes a community to raise a child, it takes a community to defeat cancer and together we can do that,” McIntosh said.

Since 1972 Hough Memorial has raised close to $3 million to purchase cancer detection equip-ment for the hospital.

Over the past seven years the an-

nual Parade of Choirs has raised more than $15,000 of that amount, said Cariboo Men’s Choir director Carl Johnson.

For Sunday’s concert the Cari-boo Men’s Choir joined with Quin-tet Plus and the Seniors’ Choir of

Williams Lake and the Eclectica choir from 100 Mile House in pre-senting a mix of traditional, folk, modern, musical and gospel fa-vourites.

The Third Williams Lake Girl Guide group joined the Cariboo

Men’s Choir in opening the con-cert with the singing of O Canada.

The concert finished with all of the choirs joining together to first sing alone, and then lead the au-dience in the singing of Some En-chanted Evening.

The first Williams Lake Garden Club meeting of the sea-son will be held on Thursday, March 3, starting at 7 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts Centre next to Williams Lake City

Hall.Topics for the eve-

ning will include “Starting Plants From Seeds” and “Stretches and Exer-cises for Gardeners.”

Regular meetings of the garden club are scheduled for the first Thursday of ev-ery month until Oc-

tober.The Williams Lake

Garden Club pro-motes, encourages and supports the hor-ticultural interests of local residents.

Rape topic of poem by local politician Joan Sorley is hop-

ing a poem she wrote and recorded about her experience of being raped as a teenager will help raise awareness.

“I’ve sent copies of my poem, The Rape Joke, and letters about what happened to me when I was raped 50 years ago to Prime Minister Trudeau and

Premier Clark,” Sorley said during an inter-view in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Region-al District where she is a director. “The reason I recorded my poem is because I am really angry. People listening to the recording will hear the anger in my voice and that’s really important.”

When she wrote her poem, it emerged in an hour, she said.

In the poem she re-peatedly uses the line “the joke is,” as she tells the story of how she was raped by a man she babysat for.

He came home early and alone one afternoon when she was babysitting at his house.

When he tried to make her drink a beer, she resisted and said she was taking medica-tion, a comment that would be used against her later.

“The joke is he got four years, I got life,” she states in the poem.

As for the title, she chose it because she’d read other poems by rape victims who have different stories to tell, but all use The Rape Joke as their title.

Sorley first spoke publicly about rape during the Union of BC Municipalities Conference held in Vancouver last Sep-tember.

Delegates at the con-ference were speaking to a motion Sorley helped pen calling for a task force to deter-mine how to end the rape culture that is “pervasive in schools, universities, workplac-es and elsewhere across Canada.”

The union voted overwhelmingly in fa-vour of the motion and delegates also vot-ed to ask the task force to look at ways to im-prove reporting, arrest and conviction rates across the country.

In her letters to Trudeau and Clark she asks them both to support the resolution. She also states the courts re-traumautize survivors by “in effect putting them on trial despite laws which pro-

hibit such tactics.” “Jurisdictions such

as Ontario and Great Britain have estab-lished separate courts for sexual assault cas-es,” she also noted in the letters.

Shortly before Sor-ley came forward at UBCM she said some-one posted a joke on Facebook about rape.

“This guy posts jokes all the time, but this time it was a rape joke,” Sorley said. “I struggled with it and then posted back ‘there’s nothing funny about rape.’ He came on and said ‘oh don’t be so sensitive, no-body really got hurt, and if you can’t take a joke,’ I forget the exact words.”

After she unfriended him on Facebook, Sor-ley became very angry. As she listened to the coverage of the Jian Gomeshi case her de-sire to speak out fur-ther was fuelled.

One day she sat down and began to write a letter to her 14-year-old self, which she eventually read out at a Changemakers breakfast in Williams Lake.

“Then I was kind of processing after that because you never get over these things. You never know when things come out. You are processing and re-processing.”

It was the poem that unfolded next.

“The joke is bad guys are still raping although we call it al-leged sexual assault,” Sorley writes in the poem.

“The joke is 50 years later a reporter asked me if I felt like I got justice. The joke is I was 14.”

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Cariboo Regional District Area F representative Joan Sorley was raped as a young teen and is so passionate about raising awareness about this problem in our society that she is not afraid to speak out about her experience and write a poem to raise awareness.

HISTORIC PADDLE-WHEELERS A17-18


On Highway 97, just south of Macalister, there is a pullout over-looking the Fraser River.

There you can find one of those large green and gold tourist plaques, placed at that spot many years ago by the Province of B.C.

The words on it read as follows:

Paddle-wheels North

"Down river lay the perilous and unnavi-gable canyon. Up river the Fraser was swift and strong, but sternwheel-ers could travel for 400 miles from Soda Creek.

Men and supplies embarked here in the 1860s for the fabulous Cariboo goldfields. Later, as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was forged across the province, nine paddle-wheelers formed a lifeline to the north.”

Actually, between 1863 and 1921, there were 12 paddle-wheel steamers which oper-ated on the upper Fraser River.

They provided a life-line to the communi-ties along their routes by delivering mail, hauling freight, bringing in new settlers, and support-ing the development of roads and railway lines.

They also provided access to the gold-rich areas in the Cariboo, Stikene, and Omineca regions of B.C.’s Interior.

Although the towns of Soda Creek, Quesnel, and Fort George were the main ports of call, some routes went all the way up the Fraser to Tete Jaune Cache, up the Nechako to Vanderhoof and Fort Fraser, and up the Stuart to Fort St. James and Takla Landing.

By 1862, Gustavus Wright, the contractor responsible for the con-struction of the Cariboo Wagon Road, had real-ized that there was con-siderable potential for a water route north to Quesnel.

Thus, he planned to make Soda Creek a freight terminus, and he put up the funds to build a small stern-wheeler, the Enterprise.

She was constructed between Soda Creek and Alexanadria and launched in the spring of 1863. She plied the

Fraser between Soda Creek and Quesnel from 1863 until 1871 when she was taken north to Takla Landing for use in the Omineca gold rush.

The voyage north proved to be so rough on the little vessel that she was abandoned after reaching her destina-tion, since it would have been far too expensive to repair her well enough to be put into reliable service in the new area.

In 1868 a new steam-powered stern-wheeler, the Victoria, was built in Quesnel, and the following year, she began service on the Soda Creek to Quesnel route. She served on this route for 17 years, until 1886 when she was retired and berthed at

Steamboat Landing near Alexandria.

There, she was allowed to decay and within a few years, noth-ing remained.

For about 10 years, there was no riverboat service from Soda Creek North.

The Cariboo gold rush was over, and the economy was poor. There was little demand for boat service.

Then, in the mid-1890s, a number of prominent businessmen formed a consortium which they named the North B.C. Navigation Company.

In 1896, they con-structed the Charlotte which was launched in Quesnel in August of that year.

Her captain was Frank Odin, a well-known and well-respect-ed river man.

He piloted her for three years until he died of a heart attack while at the helm.

He was only 35 years old.

His grave can still be seen at the Soda Creek Cemetery.

The Charlotte was the only steamer on the North Fraser River for

some 13 years. In July of 1910, she struck an underwater reef in Fort George Canyon and began to sink.

The captain man-aged to beach her and there was no loss of life. Later, the vessel was salvaged, but the hull was badly waterlogged, and she was towed to Quesnel, where she was abandoned.

In 1909, when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railways announced that their trans Canada rail line would be cross-ing the Fraser River at Fort George, the build-ing boom began once again.

A pioneer merchant in Quesnel, Telesphore Marion, commissioned another sternwheeler to be built there. She was named the City of Quesnel, and it was launched in the spring of that year.

She proved to be very heavy and sat too low in the water, so it was brought out, length-ened, and re-launched in September under the new name of the Quesnel.

She was probably the only paddle-wheeler that was launched twice in one year!

Another com-pany, the Fort George Lumber and Navigation Company, saw an opportunity to service the Fraser River north and east of Fort George.

In 1909 a smaller riverboat, the Nechacco, was built. She was later renamed the Chilco, and she had the distinc-tion of being the first sternwheeler to navigate the treacherous Grand Canyon of the Fraser.

Sadly, in April of 1911, she blew a steam pipe, lost power and drifted into an ice jam in the Cottonwood Canyon. She capsized and disappeared with no trace.

The same company built another small vessel, the Fort Fraser, which pioneered the route up the Fraser to Tete Juane Cache in 1910, and which also made several trips up the Nechako River.

After four years of off and on service, she was pulled out of the river and her hull replaced. She was renamed the Doctor, and she served for another year before fading into obscurity

lying on Pierre Roi Island, just down river from Fort George.

Also coming into ser-vice in 1910 was the Chilcotin. A little larger than the Fort Fraser, she had 22 staterooms, each containing two berths, as well as two family staterooms.

With her 13-inch draft, it could travel on very shallow water-ways. Unfortunately she didn’t handle canyons and rapids very well and often had to be winched through. On her maid-en voyage, she was badly damaged by rocks in the Fort George Canyon. Her whole career was checkered with break-downs and accidents,

and she was retired from service after the 1914 season.

For this article, I relied heavily upon two

sources: Sternwheelers and Canyon Cats by Jack Boudreau, and Paddle-wheelers on the Frontier by Art Downs.

On any given Monday afternoon tables in the Seniors' Activity Centre are buzzing with people playing crib in a speed dating style.

On our cover Ron Grisdale (left) and Danny Allan play crib on Monday at the cen-tre.

The winners move from one table to the next while the los-ers stay at the same table, although they switch chairs, explained Danny Allan who has been coming to the centre to play crib for two years.

His opponent for the second game was Ron Grisdale who was there for his first time

to see if he’s interested in participating on a regular basis.

“I’m hoping for beginner’s luck,” Grisdale said smiling as he dealt the cards.

The crib games run every Monday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. and Friday evenings beginning at 7 p.m.

Allan likened partic-ipating in the games to being a social butterfly.

“The butterflies move and the moths stay put,” he chuckled.

Last Monday after-noon there were 18 people participating in the card games and everyone seemed to be having some serious fun.

For people wanting to take it to the next level, a crib tournament is planned for Sunday, March 20 from 1 to 4 p.m.

There will be cash prizes for the first, sec-ond and third place winners who will play in a round robin for-mat.

And for a cost of $15 a person a meal is included and will be served at 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Tickets for the tour-nament are available at the Seniors' Activity Centre, 176 North Fourth Avenue, 250-392-7946.

Stuart McLellan can now add the title of Canadian champion to his boxing resumé.

The Williams Lake pugilist cap-tured the Canadian Professional Boxing Council 154-pound title in a split decision Friday following a 10-round war with Janks Trotter in his home town at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary.

Judges scored the bout 99-91 Trotter, 99-91 McLellan and a more reasonable 96-94 McLellan during the event, Teofista Boxing Series 18.

“It wasn’t easy,” McLellan told the Tribune Tuesday.

“I stuck to exactly what my game plan was — to move for four or five rounds until he start-ed slowing down a bit then start picking up the pace.”

McLellan avoided Trotter’s power early in the fight, before settling in with a quick and pre-

cise counterpunching strategy in the later rounds to tilt the bout in his favour.

“He was very predictable,” McLellan said, noting he was able to take advantage of his opponent charging forward the entire fight.

“I think the difference was he’s never been 10 rounds and assumes he’s going to knock everyone out and usually does.”

With the win McLellan im-proves to a professional record of 13 wins, two losses and three

draws. Trotter, meanwhile, slips to nine wins, three losses and one draw.

McLellan also ascends to a top-20 world ranking in the 154-pound division, a weight class he moved up to for the fight.

“This is a really good weight for me,” he said. “One-hundred-fifty-four is where I feel comfortable.”

Considered a large underdog by many heading into the fight, McLellan said he was confident. He attributed some of his success

to former Commonwealth Games boxing champion, Edmonton’s Tony Badea, who McLellan worked with two weeks prior to the fight.

“That really paid off,” he said. “I had faith and knew I was go-ing to win the whole time. I think the biggest upset was it went the distance.”

He also thanked his corner for their work during the fight: Eric De Guzman, Williams Lake Box-ing Club coach and dad Gary McLellan and Chris Cousineau.

“They laid it down perfectly,” he said.

Asked what it means to him to become a Canadian champion, McLellan said it’s a good feeling.

“When you’re young you’re al-ways thinking about world titles,” he said.

“But after it [a Canadian cham-pionships] evaded me all this time it means a lot to get it on the third try. It means a lot because I didn’t fight a nobody for it.”

“Also notable swim-mers who had a break-through meet were Ashton Petruk and Rebecca Elefson,” he said.

Webb said he was happy with the meet and the community support.

“We had people come down from Ques-nel to help our club of-ficiate and, of course, our major meet spon-sor Cariboo Dental Clinic helped support us immensely,” he said.

“Many thanks to so many people who made our meet a huge success for every swim-mer from every town.”

The Williams Lake Stampeders fell be-hind 1-0 in the Cen-tral Interior Hockey League best-of-three playoff final Saturday on home ice, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Smithers Steelheads.

Despite outshoot-ing the Steelheads 29-18, Williams Lake wasn’t able to solve Steelheads’ netmind-er David Little, who made 28 saves in the win.

Mark Arnold opened the scoring for Smithers just after the one minute mark of the first period, before Williams Lake’s Matt Lees tied up the con-test at 1-1 early in the second.

From there, Smith-ers tallied twice more

with goals from Adam DeVries and Skylar Hasell, before Ran-dall Groot closed out the scoring for the Steelheads midway through the third.

Both teams strug-gled on the power play with Smithers go-ing 0-6 and Williams Lake going 0-8.

It was Williams Lake’s last home game of the season, which saw the Stamps bid farewell to their fans in front of a packed house at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Game two and, if necessary, game three of the series go next Saturday and Sunday, respectively, in Smith-ers.

The winner of the

CIHL playoff final will earn a berth to

the Coy Cup senior men’s provincial ‘AA’

championship later in Terrace.

T-wolves fall in CAHA final versus Prince George

It wasn’t the result the Williams Lake Midget Boys Timberwolves were hoping for in the final game of a best-of-three Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association playoff championship against Prince George during the weekend.

Williams Lake was missing two of its top three scorers and its top scoring defenceman heading into the final game and wasn’t able to keep up with Prince George’s balanced at-tack, falling 7-2.

Braeden Boyd and Owen Powers notched goals for the T-wolves

in the loss.Williams Lake put

up a solid fight early and kept the game close into the second period before Prince George began to pull away.

The win means Prince George win the league championship, however, Williams Lake still advances to the pro-vincial finals in March.

Provincials are being hosted in Prince George from March 14-17.
