Monuments were erected at the former St. Joseph’s Mission Resi-dential School Site south of Wil-liams Lake and at Boitanio Park in Williams Lake May 16 and 17. On the monuments, under an archival photograph of the former mission school, the inscription encased in a large black feather reads in part:

“Today we dedicate ourselves to the healing journey of all of those affected by the St. Joseph’s Mis-sion (Cariboo) Residential School that operated on this site from July 19, 1891 to June 30, 1981.”

“.. the absence of an apology has been an impediment to healing and reconciliation. Therefore on behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, I stand before you... to apologize to Aboriginal peoples for Canada’s role in the Indian Res-idential School System.” - Prime Minister Stephen Harper, June 11, 2008.

National Chief Atleo delivers message of hope

The moment of hope and incred-ible potential is emerging said As-sembly of First Nations National Chief Shawn A-In-Chut Atleo in Williams Lake Friday.

Atleo was giving the opening address on day two of Remember-ing, Recovering and Reconciling, the Truth and Reconciliation State-ment Gathering, in Williams Lake that began May 16.

“I feel hope for the future of our people,” Atleo said. “It’s an honour that you’ve come together in unity from different nations. It’s a pow-erful statement. You’ve come to-gether to support the journey of the survivors, to mark and commemo-rate what has occurred, as well as to celebrate the moments that are to come.”

It’s hopeful that mayors and di-rectors from the Cariboo Region-al District, School District #27, Thompson Rivers University, the RCMP, and church leaders were also present, Atleo said.

“I remember when I was on a

ride to the St. Joseph’s Mission site in 2007. I remember that moment, we were on horseback, and we were riding to the mission.”

There was a tightness in his stomach that comes with emotions and he said he was sure survivors must have felt that when they went to the monument unveiling at the site on May 16.

“I want to say that we’re here with you. That we recognize you’re honouring students who didn’t make it. That their memory is im-portant and that the work continues of honouring the ancestors.”

When he joined the group in 2007 on horses and wagon, he re-alized the leaders, such as Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William who had invited him, were saying “it was a dreadful journey at one time.”

“You’ve transferred that now into a journey for healing to be out there together. That’s the work that’s happening here. That coura-geous manner in which our people have always been able to face chal-lenges and come face to face with an institution that wreaked havoc

on you and your lives, on your families and communities.”

Quoting Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper’s apology statement in 2008, Atleo said decisions were taken that should have never been taken, and must never be taken again.

“I will never forget that moment because I got to hold the hand of my late granny Elsie Robinson, my Aunty Louise’s late mom, who passed away four years ago.”

Elsie, 87, took Atleo’s hand and said: “They’re just beginning to see us grandson. You see, even in a mo-ment, there was a measure of jus-tice that my late granny was feel-ing. But I think more importantly, as grandmothers want to do, to ex-press that and encourage her grand-son to find the healing potential.”

His granny wanted him to realize that through all the difficulties she wanted to encourage her grandson that Canada was staring to see Ab-original people and that was a good thing.

Bear spray used to rob sports store

A robbery’s one thing, but bear spray isn’t cool, and it “sucks” that someone would bear spray someone.

That’s what Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed owner Mark Sa-vard was saying the day after someone entered his Williams Lake store, let off some bear spray, and stole a longboard worth around $300.

“Reflecting back, that’s the bad thing. It still smells like it in here and you have to cough,” Savard told the Tribune Friday morn-ing. “I’m sure everyone knows what it would be like to be bear sprayed and yet that someone would still bear spray someone is crazy.”

Now the store has bikes and everything coated in bear spray.

“No thought and no respect,” Savard said.

Earlier in the day a group of kids came in and scoped the store, but it was only one youth that returned.

“He barely came in the door. He ran in the doorway, sprayed, grabbed a longboard and ran.”

Savard acted quickly. He jumped on his bike, and chased the thief down, who was running away on foot carrying the stolen longboard.

“I took off and did a lap around the Elk’s

Hall. He ran up the al-ley behind the Bank of Montreal behind Barton’s Insurance. I chased him down in front of Barton’s in the middle of Oliver Street and took him down in the Shopper’s parking lot.”

The thief didn’t have an escape route planned, Savard sug-gested.

“I think there was a

lot of fear. I was run-ning behind him and it was like cornering a chicken, he didn’t know what to do,” Savard re-called.

“He kept on pointing the bear spray at me and spraying me, but I said go ahead, it’s the last thing you’ll ever do, put it down now while you can.”

Williams Lake RCMP were dispatched

to Red Shred’s and then caught up to where Sa-vard was holding the suspect in the park-ing lot at Shopper’s. The suspect was taken into custody by police and later released on a promise to appear for a court date in the future.

“The suspect was in the company of two of his friends at the time of the robbery. All are youth in their mid-

teens. The investigation is continuing to further identify each person’s role,” the RCMP said in a press release.

“She said I’m con-tent with my life. I’m content and happy and proud of my family. To people who experienced the residential school like my granny and my aunty, I hold my hands up in appreciation for you bearing the full re-sponsibility and blunt

of the biggest challenge our people have faced.”

Many residential school survivors have provided leadership, he added.

“I think about the courage it has taken for so many of our people to speak up, to write their stories.”

They have worked with the RCMP to an-chor and support a safe

framework for healing, Atleo added.

“The intergeneration-al traumas and cycles that are beginning to be broken by the exciting work being done. We have young people here among us who are par-ticipating, learning and understanding this leg-acy that we collectively inherited.”

“There are many in

this region that have had the courage to hold per-petrators accountable, as well as through the courts. They not only held them accountable before the courts, but they facilitated healing circles.”

Healing circles bring better results, that many years of courts and le-nient sentences, Atleo said.

“You can stand proud to have reconciled your past to create healthy families and communi-ties. As a 46 year old, I must express and com-mend those of you cel-ebrating 25 to 35 years sobriety. Thank you,” he said to a huge applause.

“Your strength has helped move thousands across the country to face their own expe-

riences in residential school.”

Leadership in the Cariboo-Chilcotin pro-vided a pathway for healing and reconcilia-tion, he reminded.

“I want to recog-nize the Cariboo Tribal Council facilitating important research on Indian Residential Schools on your fami-lies and communities.

This has charted a path to recovery. They also held the first national conference on Indian Residential Schools in 1991. We recognize this leadership, celebrate and appreciate this lead-ership.”

“It was done at a time when nobody wanted to talk about it. It was a big taboo. Thank you for breaking that.”

First Nations leaders pay tribute to Elijah Harper in Williams Lake

Chief Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the Truth and Reconcilia-tion Commission, re-membered former Cree leader Elijah Harper during the opening of the second day of a Residential School Conference taking place in Williams Lake, May 17.

“It is with sadness that we tell you this morning we received news just before sunrise of the passing of Elijah Harper last night in Ot-tawa,” Sinclair said. “Elijah was a good friend to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people across the country.”

Sinclair said Harper is well-remembered for the stand that he took on the Meech Lake Ac-cord, asserting that all across the country not enough recognition was being given to the state of Aboriginal people.

“He would not con-sent to the constitu-tional process in place before him.”

Harper’s stance cre-ated “a lot of pressure” for him and placed

demands on him, and comments addressed toward him that were challenging.

“I’m sure they had a long term effect upon his health. He had not been in good health for the last few months, but his death was still an unexpected event.”

On behalf of the commission and all of the people attending the conference in Wil-liams Lake, Sinclair expressed condolences to Harper’s family, close friends and his birth community of Red Sucker Lake First Nation, 700 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.

Steve Basil of Bonaparte First Na-tion smudged the room and people who felt the need to be smudged in honour of Harper’s death.

“I’m sure Elijah would ask you to be strong,” Sinclair told the crowd. “He would encourage you to con-tinue your own heal-ing and take care of yourselves in terms of your own health. Take care if your families and do what you can to strengthen your com-

munities. Those were issues he was dedicated to through the course of his life time.”

National Chief Shawn A-in-Chut Atleo, As-sembly of First Nations, paid homage to Harper before speaking to the conference in Williams Lake.

“I join the commis-sioner on behalf of First Nations from coast, to coast, to coast, ac-knowledging the pass-ing of the late Elijah Harper. I express the deepest of empathy and sympathy to his fam-ily.”

Harper’s passing is a reminder of the sacred-ness of life offered to people on earth, Atleo said.

“We all have our teachings when these moments arrive. We may speak different lan-guages and our cultures might look different in ceremony, but I have had a deep privilege to witness and continue to learn from so many in-digenous people across the country to know that our teachings are strong and support us in moments like this.”

“As Harper stood

there with his feather to say “no” to a move by Canada that he felt strongly would not let Aboriginal voices be heard, he gave a power-ful message that it was OK to say “no.”

“It’s OK to say no to the status quo. We also

know that when he left politics he was saying yes to healing and rec-onciliation.

I express my deepest honour and respect to the late Elijah Harper for the legacy that he has left all of us. Thank you for what you have

done for our people. “You will be missed.

You will not be forgot-ten,” Atleo said.

Harper attended resi-dential schools in Nor-way House, Brandon and Birtle, and then secondary schools at Garden Hill and Win-

nipeg. He studied at the Uni-

versity of Manitoba and began his long career in public service when he was elected chief of his community at the age of 29, and was the first Aboriginal to serve as an MLA.

David Williams photoThe diet of wolves living in the Chilcotin’s Brittany Triangle area are the subject of a research project taking place this spring and summer.

Wolf activity researchedin the Brittany Triangle

Field researcher Sa-die Parr is trying to de-termine what wolves in the Chilcotin are eating.

“Figuring out what they are eating will teach us a lot about be-haviour and the ecolog-ical interactions that are happening in the area,” Parr told the Tribune.

She will focus her research in the Brittany Triangle, and was going into the area in April to plan her research.

Friends of Nemiah Valley and Valhalla Wilderness Society are sponsoring the research, providing some profes-sional and logistical advice, and she’s using a research cabin owned by FONV, located in the heart of Nunsti Provin-cial Park.

“We’ve been spon-soring students there for the last 10 years. A lot of research has been done in the area,” said FONV president David Williams.

Parr lives in Golden and has tracked wolves in Yoho National Park for the last four years, and has been involved in “wolf work” for a de-cade.

“I feel they are mis-understood so getting accurate information and being able to pro-vide it, rather than an-ecdotally is important,” Parr said. “Wolves are managed the same way ungulates are right now in the way that it doesn’t always work.”

A high number of wolves is not necessari-ly a sign of a stable pop-ulation, she explained.

“I would like to fig-ure out what’s happen-ing in the Brittany Tri-angle,” she said. “There is a knowledge gap. Wolves are recognized as a keystone species, capable of causing tro-phic cascades.”

Stable families will determine the overall health of a wolf popula-tion.

If populations aren’t stable then that might

create ranching issues or cause hunting rates to be increased, Parr said.

“They are extreme-ly social animals so I would like to learn if these wolves are in stable units. If they are then theoretically they would take less ani-mals, use larger territo-ries, reuse den sites, and hunt co-operatively.”

Those wolf practices will change if wolves are indiscriminately killed, which Parr said is happening across B.C. right now, can cause an increase in population, and an in-crease in the number of conflicts.

In the 1920s Yel-lowstone National Park decided to kill all the predators in the area and the last wolf was killed in 1926.

“By the 1950s, the park was extremely different. Biodiversity had dropped incred-ibly, there was a loss of songbirds, small mam-mals, it was basically a trophic cascade,” Parr

said.The deer and elk pop-

ulations exploded with no predators keeping them in check and their behaviour changed dra-matically.

“Before they would have been constantly on the move avoiding predators, now they had no reason to do that, so they basically stood still and were more easily exposed.”

They overgrazed and over browsed and stunt-ed all the aspen and wil-lows that grew along the rivers.

It impacted beavers, who use aspen and wil-lows, so the park dried out and there were huge forest fires in the 1980s, and a ton of starving deer and elk.

Elk were shipped to other parks, but because the parks were full, elks were slaughtered by the thousands.

“It was very sad and the park was very sick.

Wolves needed for healthy, biodiverse ecosystem

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoFriends of Nemiah Valley president David Williams and Sadie Parr, field researcher with Wolf Awarness Inc. discuss a wolf research project Parr is conducting in the Chilcotin.

“Then finally in 1996, 30 wolves were reintroduced from Northern Alberta and B.C. into Yellowstone over a two-year period.”

American author, sci-entist, ecologist, forest-er, and environmentalist Aldo Leopold had been recommending that wolves be reintroduced into Yellowstone since the 1920s, Parr added.

Within a few years the trees started grow-ing back. The beavers started returning to the area and everything else has followed them.

“Songbirds that hadn’t been seen for more than 50 years re-turned by themselves, just by the top predator being where it original-ly belonged.”

“It’s been called the ecology of fear, putting the wolves on the land-scape is moving the un-gulates around.”

Another reason wolves contribute to maintaining diversity is when they kill ungu-lates, they eat as much as they can, and can eat a quarter of their own body weight.

“Then they’ll move on. Other predators, like grizzlies or cougars, will usually bury them or guard them. All of those leftovers provide for many other scaven-gers or predators in the area.”

Bringing wolves back to Yellowstone benefit-ed other animals, Parr said. “Where I live in the Rockies, 33 differ-ent species are provided for from the leftovers of wolves. In that way they provide food con-sistently throughout the year, compared to hunt-ing, which is seasonal.”

The reintroduction of wolves also cut the coyote population in Yellowstone in half. Without the wolves, the coyote population had exploded.

“They started to form packs, which coyotes don’t typically do, but they were trying to fill the niche of wolves. Coyotes and wolves are extremely different be-haviourly, genetically similar, but most people don’t recognize the dif-ferences.”

Coyotes don’t have

the same fear of humans that wolves have.

There is still animos-ity toward wolves, Parr suggested, adding what humans don’t know, they fear and destroy.

One state in the U.S. did not hunt wolves and the population in-creased, but the rates of livestock loss went down 60 per cent be-cause the ranchers were practicing prevention and learning how to live with them.

“The neighbouring state in the same two years killed 700 wolves and their livestock loss rate increased by 75 per cent,” Parr said, adding that more than popula-tion social dynamics have to be factored in.”

Randomly killing wolves can create more problems, she insisted.

“We have to remem-ber that we’ve been killing wolves in this province for a long time with bounties and poi-son programs. We’ve become used to not see-ing predators and many people will describe it as an artificially high ungulate population that we’ve become used to as well.”

Wolves are returning to the landscape. Some people are thrilled. Oth-ers aren’t.

“It’s about finding that balance so that there can be some coex-istence,” Parr said.

Williams recalled an incident as a boy in Courtney in the 1940s.

“There was a pickup truck with two dead wolves in the back,” Williams said. “Ev-erybody was going to look because they told us they were the last wolves on Vancouver Island, they’d wiped them out and that was it.”

It wasn’t the case. There are lots of wolves now, he added.

Parr said her favou-rite aspect about wolves is their family interac-tions.

“They are incred-ibly loyal, co-operative and communicate in so many different ways.”

The communication is fascinating because it helps their social cohe-siveness.

“They communicate by howling, they com-municate over distance. It helps other packs stay

away or it helps them find each other.

“They’ll howl emo-tionally at births and deaths. I’ve heard it de-scribed as a mood syn-chronizing activity.”

There is a unison in wolves, Parr said. “It’s not a single wolf that’s the predator. It’s the pack and experience is passed down generation to generation. In a way it’s similar to bees. As a super organism they re-ally function together.”

After the big forest fire in 2003, Williams and his wife, Pat, were going into their place in the Brittany Trian-gle, 26 kilometres off the road, to see if their cabin had been burned down.

“We were camped at night and we heard this howling and carry-ing on. Because of the fire, the wolves were absolutely upset. It went on and on. We’d never heard it like that before,” Williams re-called.

Another time he heard the same distress call and when he walked up to a little lake north of the cabin the next day, he saw a dead wolf on the edge of the lake.

“They were very up-set and vocal with their expression of distress.”

It’s the true call of the wild, Parr suggested.

There are several documented cases of a member of the wolf family being injured and the wolves care for it as long as they can, until it would really hold the entire family

back.“They will actually

bring food back and take care of the injured wolf,” she said.

Parr has been docu-menting in Yoho Na-tional Park where wolves are killed.

People think national parks are where animals are protected, but only five per cent are dying of natural causes.

She came across a female earlier in 2012 who was killed by a car.

It was sad. As Parr returned to

the area she could tell the pack had remained with the dead wolf for quite awhile. Possibly waiting for the wolf to return.

And thanks to all the candidates and the people who got out to vote for helping to make our democratic sys-tem work.

***Two events held here recently

were well attended and it was good to see such a diverse group of people enjoying the events together. The Gibraltar Room was packed for the

Williams L a k e F i l m C l u b ’ s premiere of The B l a n -ke t i n g,

Trevor Mack’s excellent documen-tary featuring local actors William Belleau and Don Wise. There was standing room only at the library for David Williams’ presentation of the Wild Horses of the Chilco-tin. There are many “wild” or fe-ral horses in the Chilcotin, but re-search (including DNA testing) has found the horses in the Brittany Triangle to be genetically distinct with bloodlines that go back several hundred years.

***On the city scene, council is seek-

ing more citizen input into the re-newed branding process. According to a May 15, 2013 press release, interested citizens “are encouraged to express their opinions through an online survey on the Williams Lake Brand site (www.mywilliamslake.placebrand.ca).” The site has been up since last summer (I don’t know many who knew about it ) and the city wants “more participation to build on the one-on-one interviews and the variety of opinions” it has already recorded.

Are the young professionals who live here already responding to the survey? I got stuck on some ques-tions. “What do you love least about the city?” Hmm. “What three inspi-rational words would you use to de-scribe living in Williams Lake.” In-spirational? I hope somewhere in the process there will be a public meeting where interested citizens can discuss the issue face-to face with city councillors. Believe it or not some people don’t have comput-ers and, besides, the website isn’t good at answering questions.

B.C. election full of surprises

B.C. politics have long been known as the most entertaining in Canada, but this latest election was one of the strangest yet.

Three leaders of the four most prominent parties lost their personal campaigns.

While voters elected independent Vicki Hunting-ton, leader John Cummins failed to lead the Conser-vatives to any seats.

The Greens elected their first MLA in B.C. histo-ry, although leader Jane Sterk failed to beat former NDP leader Carole James.

Adrian Dix earned a seat, but his position as NDP leader is in jeopardy after leading his heavily fa-voured party to three fewer seats than it had when the campaign began.

Which brings us to Christy Clark, who is ac-

knowledged to have run a more effective campaign than Dix, who frequently appeared nervous.

The Liberal leader might have focused more on campaigning for her party than promoting herself because she fell to her NDP opponent.

Clark, who can now continue to remake the party in her own image, is expected to run in a byelection vacated by a successful and loyal Liberal MLA.

Clark will have only two Liberal MLAs from Vancouver Island. One of them is Don McRae, who won in the Comox Valley for the second straight election.

The popular McRae will almost certainly be in Clark’s cabinet again, likely returning to the high-profile education portfolio.

Singer Gary Fjellgaard performed I Apologize, the song he wrote in honour of residential school survivors.

Creating a legacy for residential school victims

After unveiling the second of two monu-ments honouring those lost to and survivors of residential schools, Esk’etemc Chief Fred Robbins looked around to the hundreds of peo-ple gathered in Boitanio Park and suggested the challenge now is to cre-ate a new legacy.

“It’s very interesting that we have an oppor-tunity here. If we don’t continue this relation-ship the next generation is going to look back at us and ask why we didn’t do something when we had the chance.”

Robbins began gath-ering momentum for a St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School com-memorative project a year and a half ago, and began working with lo-cal government, the school district, and First Nations leaders.

The timing of unveil-ing a monument at the former school site, and in Boitanio Park, co-incided with Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission hearings in Williams Lake and a re-union over the May long weekend of former St. Joseph’s students.

“I see many chiefs, many councillors, that are here to participate and bear witness that we’re ready to move forward and build a re-lationship, and build a new legacy for First Nations people, not one based on mistrust,” Rob-bins said.

“This is the people

that are going to make the change happen. If we allow ourselves to put up a monument and say that we’re done we’re just shifting back where we were five years ago. We need to start moving that economic driver that will create something for the First Nations, the regional district, and the mayors.”

Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie

said even those who have not attended resi-dential school feel the impact.

“Our children feel it, our grandchildren feel it. Today and yesterday was the beginning of a very small step in rec-onciliation between all communities and the residential schools that have impacted our First Nations people,” Louie said.

“There are high num-bers of incarceration and low levels of education amongst our First Na-tions people, and a high number of children in care.”

Those are direct re-sults of the impacts of residential schools, she added.

“We need to find some way to break that cycle and having our people become healthy. It’s an interesting and long journey,” Louie said.

Mayor Kerry Cook said the monuments are both a reminder and a challenge.

“They remind us that we have a responsibil-ity to decide how we are going to move forward. I want a city where all people feel welcome and are respected. It’s long overdue.”

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Rich-mond said the monu-ment remembers those who didn’t survive resi-dential schools, those who did survive, and those who are still striv-

ing to survive.“When a family walks

into the park, a child will ask what the monu-ment is about,” Rich-mond said. “I’m hoping if we do our job right, they’ll have the answer, that they’ll suggest this is something that hap-pened, we want to be sure it never, ever, hap-pens again. Never, can’t, won’t.”

By understanding the past, the region can build a future together, Richmond added.

The Williams Lake Stags girls rugby team is the sixth ranked team in the province heading into this week’s Provincial Rugby Championships.

The Stags begin their tourna-ment Thursday, May 23 against the third seed, Heritage Park, at the UBC Rugby Complex in Van-couver.

“We played them last year in our first game at provincials,” said Stags head coach Morley Wilson. “But last year we were the fifth seed and they were the fourth seed, and we had no spares. We lost that game in overtime.”

This year, Wilson said his squad is different.

“We lost a few key Grade 12s this year but I think our squad is more rounded,” he said.

“We have Sheridan Davis (full-back) and Anne Butters (standoff), both in Grade 11, who are the team leaders and they are the key play-ers, but at the same time when they’re not there the other girls step up.”

Wilson said part of the key to this year’s success for the Stags has

been the strength of the team’s ju-nior players. The Stags also picked up five players from Columneetza secondary for the season because they didn’t field a team.

“Because we’re so young — we only have a couple grade 12s — next year, with the two schools coming together and all of the juniors coming over they’re all going to be in the program for a couple more years,” Wilson said.

That said, Wilson added his players hope to close out the sea-son – the last year they’ll play as Stags — on a positive note.

“Right from the beginning we set the goal of provincials,” Wil-son said.

“It’s been on their minds the whole season. But that said it’s a few-year plan.

“I said to the girls to not really worry about what the result is this year. If we finish eighth, whatever, we’ve got lots of Grade 8s and lots of Grade 9s and they’re all going to be even better next year after they get some more experience.

“It’s a longterm plan. It’s not just the goal for this year, it’s the goal for the next couple of years, and I think we can win it [provin-cials] in the three years.”

How the Stags finish at provin-cials will depend largely on the outcome of their first game.

“It’s all that first game,” Wilson said.

“If we win our first game we’re in the top four, if we win our sec-ond game we’re in the top two. Last year we started fifth and finished fifth because of that first

game.”After Thursday’s tilt with Heri-

tage Park the Stags play again Friday, before playing their final game of the tournament Saturday.

“They’re a great bunch of girls,” he said.

“They support each other on and off the field, and it’s been a plea-sure.”

People can ride, walk or just hang out around the barn and take a horse-drawn wagon ride being offered to support this year’s Children’s Wish Ride, says event organizer Rene Leclerc.

The Children’s Wish Ride raises funds to support the B.C. and Yukon Children’s Wish Foundation.

The event takes place Sunday, May 26 at the Minton Creek Ranch just one kilometre on the right past the Wild-wood Store on High-way 97.

The event starts at 9 a.m. and goes all day.

There will be a band playing, a silent auc-tion, lunch by donation, and a raffle for a two-

night stay at the Ely-sia Resort on Quesnel Lake.

And of course the main focus of the day will be on those who enjoy horseback riding.

There will be two loop trails set up for the event, one four miles long, and one 10 miles long, Leclerc says.

He says people who don’t have a horse are also welcome to walk the trails or ride them on a bike.

Last year he says the event raised $6,500 for the Children’s Wish Foundation.

The Children’s Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children fac-ing a high-risk, life-threatening illness or condition.

Pledge sheets are also available at Bea-ver Valley Feeds, Ea-gleview Equestrian Centre, Cariboo Spurs, and the Trail Riders club.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

Council seeks more citizen input on renewed Williams

Lake branding processWilliams Lake City Council is turning to local residents for more input on the City’s placebrand. Interested citizens are encouraged to share their opinions through an online survey on the Williams Lake Place Brand site – and organizers are hoping to get more participation this time around.

The � rst brand presented featured the tagline “Welcome to the Republic of Life” which was aimed at “thirty-something” people who are looking for a great small town where they can live, work, and raise a family. The concept was meant to be a modern take on the area’s cowboy heritage, and it resonated strongly with the intended audience. However, once it got out into the community it generated a lot of controversy. As a result, Council has decided to go back to the people for more input.

Mayor Kerry Cook explains that Williams Lake is competing against many other similar rural cities to attract new residents and new investment. “Attracting more population is important to maintaining and growing existing services and businesses,” she says. “If we’re going to build a sustainable economic future, we absolutely have to � nd a way to attract young families who will help build entrepreneurial energy and skilled workforce.”

Children’s Wish Ride goes Sunday, May 26

Cariboo Youth Soc-cer League teams in Williams Lake got their first taste of home-field advantage May 12 at the Esler Sports Com-plex, hosting teams from Quesnel, Prince George and 100 Mile House.

U12 GirlsWilliams Lake’s U11

girls team, playing up a division in U14, fell 3-0 to 100 Mile House and 3-0 to Prince George.


girls, playing in the U16 girls division, tied Prince George, 0-0, tied 100 Mile House, 1-1.

Williams Lake’s U16 girls dominated 100 Mile House 6-0 and beat Prince George 3-0

to complete the week-end sweep.

U12 BoysThe lakecity’s U12

boys tea was in tough finishing the weekend with one win and one loss. The U12 squad downed Prince George Orange twice — 5-1 and 8-2 — but fell 6-1 to Prince George Green. The Williams Lake U11 boys lost 7-1 to Prince George’s U12 team.

U14 BoysWilliams Lake lost

two games — one to Prince George Green, 6-2, and the other, 2-1, to Prince George White.

U16 BoysThe Williams Lake

U16 boys needed over-time to solve 100 Mile House, winning a tight 2-1 decision Sunday. They were later defeat-ed by Prince George in another tightly-contest-ed contest, 2-1.

It was an emotional end to a short season as Columneetza second-ary girls soccer play-ers donned the school’s Cougars jersey for the final time May 13 at the North Central Zone Soccer Championships in Williams Lake.

The Cougars, playing in front of their school after advancing to the tournament final, fell behind 2-1 to the Duch-ess Park Condors with just minutes remaining in the second half.

With time winding down Columneetza wasn’t able to add an equalizer before the fi-nal whistle blew.

Cougars coach Cait-lin Sabatino said the final result was unfor-tunate, but added the match was well played

by both teams.“It was a close

game,” she said. “When

it’s so close you wish there was something you could have done differently but the girls left it all out on the field and I’m proud of how they played.”

The Condors struck first in the first half on a tight-angled shot setup

by a corner kick.“It was a really nice

corner kick that got fed into a girl and then fed back out for a great shot,” Sabatino said. “It was a really tough angle and probably had a 50/50 change of go-ing in or completely

missing the net, but it hooked in and was a good goal on their part.”

In the second half Columneetza Grade 10 player Natasha Lewis found the twine, knot-ting the contest up at one a piece.

But with minutes re-maining the Condors capitalized on a free kick, after an inten-tional pass back to their goalkeeper by the Cou-gars, to put the game on ice.

“The girls just want-ed to play well, I think, and they did,” Sabatino said. “Especially be-cause it was their home town and in front of their school. We were in tight both games with Duchess.”

The Cougars path to the final consisted of a 2-0 loss to the Condors Sunday morning, fol-lowed by 4-0 and 3-1 wins over the Nechako Valley Viqueens.

Neither the Cougars or the Condors are able to attend the upcoming provincial champion-

ships in Courtenay, however, so a vacant berth from the zone is up for grabs.

Sabatino added the future is bright for high school soccer in Wil-liams Lake.

“On this year’s team we had about a half dozen grade 10s on the senior team, which is really encouraging,” she said. “There’s a re-

ally good core group of committed Grade 11s and a really good com-mitted core group of grade 10s so when the two schools join next year they should be re-ally competitive.

“These girls were a great group to work with and with the ju-niors coming up next year we should be re-ally strong.”

Annual Dirty Knobby poker ride coming up June 1-2Spring is upon us and

the 2013 riding season has arrived.

The 2013 Dirty Knobby is almost here, too, coming up June 1 in the Mountain House Road area. And as al-ways the event is being hosted by the Williams Lake Off Road Motor-cycle Association’s dili-gent members.

The Dirty Knobby poker ride is open to all ages and skill lev-els with more fun and activities planned than ever before.

This year there will be guided rides for kids, a bike rodeo area, a bike familiarization clinic and free lunch for all who sign up.

“Truly easy, easy trails to challenging trails are here for all to enjoy from peewees to big guys,” said Sasha Kokesch, a director with the WLORMA.

“A dual purpose ride is planned to de-part from the pits, too. Again, at our new lo-

cation, we have tons of close parking and room to host this event.”

The Dirty Knobby Poker Ride has four lev-els from peewee to mas-ters to accommodate all skills levels.

Sign up starts at 9:30 a.m. with the poker ride beginning at 11 a.m.

For more information including registration visit www.thedirtyk-nobby.com.

Kokesch added the two major events the club hosts throughout the year — the Dirty Knobby and the Over-land Cross Country, scheduled for Sunday, June 2 — help support the club’s costs through-out the year.

Classes for the Over-lander Cross Country ride include masters, expert, intermediate, vet expert, vet amateur, se-nior expert, senior ama-teur, super senior, ju-nior over, junior under, women, sportsman and peewee, plus the Pacific Northwest Motocross

Association Off Road Racing Series.

“As WLORMA is a non-profit organization we would encourage anyone interested to join us as a member,” Kokesch said. “Mem-bership info is also available on our web-site.

“This year we are proud to be providing a BC Off Road Motor-cycle Association ‘trail pass’ as an option with each membership pur-chased. These passes are not required to ride any specific trails, but rather show our ongoing support to BCORMA, who is the only voice lobbying for the inter-ests of off-road bikers in B.C. The money from the sale of each trail pass goes toward ensur-ing that we and future generations will always have a place to recreate on Crown land.”

The pass can also be upgraded to a platinum trail pass which pro-vides its owner third

party liability insur-ance, which is legally required in B.C. if you plan on using an unli-censed bike on forest service roads.

For more information on BCORMA trail pass-es visit www.bcorma.ca.

“We look forward to seeing many of our lo-cals out at the event to

spectate and ride with some of the best in the province,” Kokesch said.

“Remember, rid-ing on Crown land is a

privilege not a right. Be responsible and respect-ful to be a good ambas-sador for the sport that we love so much, dirt-biking.”

Win Gooding Special to The Tribune

Golden Lawns designed to protect aquifer The Cariboo Chilcotin Conser-

vation Society is hoping city resi-dents will follow their lead and let their lawns go golden this summer.

“The Golden Lawns Campaign encourages city residents to let their lawns go golden and natural,” says Carla Glessing, the society’s water and waste wise programs community liaison.

People participating in the pro-gram will have green lawns when Mother Nature waters them (when it rains) and golden lawns when the weather gets hot and dry, Glessing says.

Residents are also encouraged to not use chemical herbicides or pesticides.

There are many natural alterna-tives to chemicals, she says.

“Natural lawns protect our riv-ers and streams from pollution and protect the city’s groundwa-ter aquifer by conserving precious drinking water,” Glessing says.

Working with volunteers the conservation society has creative wooden signs for people partici-pating in the program to put on their lawns.

Volunteer Pat Teti cut out the

wooden signs in the shapes of honey bees, salmon and salaman-ders. Then on Earth Day, conser-vation society staff worked with a Brownie group to paint the signs in bright colours.

Lisa Young has provided some pictures) and enjoyed having the girls paint the signs.

“We also had a group of Guides paint more signs the following evening,” Glessing says. “The signs look wonderful, the girls did a beautiful job of painting and each sign is a unique creation.”

The signs are available to city

residents who have a Golden Lawn.

Those with Golden Lawns can pick up a sign and post it on their lawn.

“It is hoped that the signs will encourage their neighbours and friends to do the same,” Glessing says. “If people are interested in acquiring a sign they can contact the conservation society at 250-398-7929.

Also watch for the signs to be available for pick-up at city hall or the Cariboo Growers in the near future.

Photo submittedLocal Brownies teamed up with Carla Glessing (left) and Mary Forbes (right) of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society to celebrate Earth Day by painting signs/stakes to launch the city’s Golden Lawns campaign. The stakes are planted on lawns that are pesticide and herbicide free and watered by nature.

The OAPO Branch 93 had a re-ally good turn-out for their pan-cake breakfast at the Seniors’ Centre.

Many thanks to Floris and all the volunteers who helped and to those who came with friends and family to support the event.

The Seniors’ Games fundraiser dinner and silent auction also had a huge turnout on April 14 at the

Seniors’ Centre. Everyone thor-oughly enjoyed the entertainment by The Perfect Match.

They had the floor packed with dancers and they were very en-joyable to listen to.

Ellen and her volunteers did an excellent job and are thankful for all the support in aid of the Se-niors’ Summer Games that will be held in Kamloops this summer.

For those seniors interested in playing cards there is cribbage at 1 p.m. on Mondays and 7 p.m. on Fridays at the Seniors’ Centre.

If you’d rather play bride it is held on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. for be-ginners or 12:30 p.m. on Thurs-days.

Duplicate bridge is on Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

For more physical workouts there is carpet bowling at 1 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at the Seniors’ Centre. As you can see there is no need to sit at home, as there is always plenty to do at the Seniors’ Centre.

The OAPO Branch 93 holds their monthly meeting at the Seniors’ Centre on the second Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. except for July and August.

Tea, coffee and refreshments are served after the meeting. New members are always welcome and needed to keep this worth-while group operating.

Their members work hard to help keep the Seniors’ Centre op-erating for all seniors to enjoy.

What would we do without it?We wish all the seniors who

are recovering in hospital or at home a speedy recovery. If pos-sible take time to visit the seniors in Deni House or the Seniors’ Vil-lage.

They look forward to seeing fa-miliar faces and enjoy your com-pany immensely. You’ll be really glad you did.

Until Next Month keep healthy and happy.

Win Gooding is a member of the Seniors’ Activity Centre and the OAPO Branch 93.

Secwepemc elders videoand storybook launch Friday

The community is invited to see for them-selves some new teach-ing tools created for Secwepemc schools by elders.

The storybook and video creations by Sec-wepemc elders will be presented at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake Friday, May 24 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The video features interviews with elders sharing their thoughts on aging and highlights the importance of tra-ditional activities and practices, said Isadore

Phillips, the project’s northern research co-ordinator in announc-ing the event.

The storybook seeks to show children how to develop positive re-lationships with elders experiencing memory loss.

Elders participat-ing in the Culturally Safe Dementia Care (CSDC) research proj-ect told the researchers from Thompson Rivers University and Interior Health that they would like to create a video and storybook that they could share with chil-

dren and youth to teach them about what it is like to grow old and ex-perience memory loss.

It is hoped that these teaching tools can help to strengthen relation-ships between elders and youths.

“This is a meaning-ful project and I was glad that I was part of it!” said Jean William, an elder advisor on the project.

The researchers fa-cilitated the project by hiring two young First Nations artists, Kar-lene Harvey and Trevor Mack, to create the vid-

eo and storybook with Secwepemc Elders.

“Hearing the stories from Secwepemc El-ders provided me with such a rich understand-ing of the people from this Nation, their terri-tory and what it means to take care of elders as a community,” Harvey said.

“The storybook evolved from the mean-ingful conversations that both Trevor and I had with the elders in-terviewed and we are so thankful for the op-portunity to learn from them what it means to

be Secwepemc.” “May 24 is the cul-

mination of all of the hard work by the el-ders, artists and re-searchers,” Phillips said. “We invite you to come celebrate with us and honor the stories from the elders. Tea and snacks will be pro-vided.”

Similar events are also being planned in Adams Lake and Skee-tchestn.

For more informa-tion please contact Jes-sica Gates, the CSDC Research Assistant at 250-852-6393.

SPCA reunites wandering catwith owners after three months

After three months of wandering Simon is now back home safe and sound thanks to a kind person who brought him to the Williams Lake SPCA.

Tammy Hurrie and her family had been missing their cat Si-mon since early Feb-ruary, reports the

SPCA. Many posts on

Facebook had been posted but there was no luck finding the cat.

Then a lovely neu-tered male orange and white cat had been brought up to the Wil-liams lake SPCA.

Upon arrival a staff

member remembered seeing a post on Face-book’s Williams Lake Purge and Indulged that Tammy was miss-ing her beloved cat Simon.

The SPCA con-tacted Tammy who arrived very quickly to discover that it was indeed Simon.

We found out he traveled at least 20 kilometres away from his home and had been missing for al-most three months.

Simon was happy as

always but had shed a few pounds and was a little dirty, but all in all he was healthy.

Simon was very happy to see his fam-ily.

Photo submittedTammy Hurrie is happily reunited with her cat Simon after someone found him and turned him in to the Williams Lake SPCA. He had been missing for three months and was fairly thin but still in good shape after his ordeal.
