Seniors minister to visit lakecityIt hasn’t taken long for the

Seniors Advisory Council in Williams Lake to invite the new Minister of State for Seniors to come to the lake city.

Ralph Sultan will be here on Oct. 17 to meet with the council and local seniors are invited to attend.

“How cool is that,” SAC chair Audrey MacLise says. “We’ve never had a minister for seniors come out to us. Ralph is new so we’re very interested in what he has to say.”

MacLise heard Sultan wanted to come to Williams Lake so the council decided it would invite him to attend its next meeting.

“He was very pleased,” Mac-Lise explains.

The main topic will be the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Master Plan, an item very high on SAC’s agenda.

MacLise wants to let Sultan know that Interior Health needs to commit to Williams Lake.

“When I visit Kelowna and Vernon I see that they have be-come vital health centres, which has been very good for their city because it brings people in. I saw a lot of seniors down there. We’re not in a very good position to compete for profes-sionals to work in our hospital and we won’t be until this plan is complete and a functional plan is made.”

Chuckling she doesn’t discard

the idea of taking to the street with signs to raise awareness.

She also thinks the province of British Columbia has yet to embrace nurse practitioners.

“They are very well received and their talents are used in Al-berta, Ontario and many other provinces, but B.C. has not. We’ve lost a couple that were here because they couldn’t get a contract with Interior Health. They can do anything that a physician can do, except write a prescription for narcotics, which most of them don’t want to do anyway.

“We’ve got to get on to Inte-rior Health about some of these things. I’m not worried about ruffling some feathers, that’s just what I’d like to do.”

Mayor Kerry Cook says the city will meet with Sultan when he’s here and that council met with him while at the Union of BC Municipalities conference.

“We have a list of strategic top priorities and the hospital is on that list.

“We had three meetings about the hospital and moving the master plan forward — one with Interior Health and two minister meetings.”

The meeting with will take place Oct. 17 at the Cariboo Regional District library at 1:30 p.m.

CRD resolutions meet success at UBCMThe Cariboo Re-

gional District (CRD) met with good success on the resolutions floor at the Union of British Columbia Municipali-ties (UBCM) held this last week in Victoria.

“It was a productive conference for the Car-iboo Chilcotin. With an array of excellent speakers and profes-sional development op-portunities, we are able to bring back informa-tion and key learning to continue building communities together,” stated CRD Chair Al Richmond.

“I would like to com-

mend the board and staff for taking con-cepts and issues raised by our residents and turning them into suc-cessful and meaning-ful resolutions such as the rural tourism as-sessments,” Richmond said.

The CRD had sub-mitted a total of 10 resolutions to be dis-cussed and voted on the resolutions floor; nine were endorsed by the UBCM member-ship.

The successful reso-lutions included:

• Strategic Engage-ment Agreements

• Community Access Program Funding

• Protection of Po-table Water

• Fencing Adjacent to Highways

• Fencing of Agricul-tural Interface

The CRD resolu-tion which was not en-dorsed by the member-ship dealt with noxious weeds and range lands.

During the conven-tion, the CRD, along with the mayors of 100 Mile House, Quesnel, and Williams Lake had the opportunity to meet with Premier Christy Clark and Pat Bell, minister of jobs, tour-

ism and skills training and the minister re-sponsible for labour.

During this session, the CRD discussed its Strong Regions report and the need for in-creased alternative rev-enue streams for local governments.

The province has committed to working with the CRD to poten-tially act upon some of the recommendations laid out in the report.

CRD elected offi-cials and staff also met with the Steve Thom-son, minister of for-ests, lands and natural resource operations, to

discuss the Cedar Dam on Nina Lake.

Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital Dis-trict (CCRHD) Chair, John Massier and staff had the opportunity to meet with the new Minister of Health, Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid.

Chair Massier, ex-pressed the CCRHD’s concern in ensuring the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Master Plan be given priority.

A full listing of the CRD resolutions and minister meeting back-grounders are available online at cariboord.bc.ca.

Northern Health capital funding requests approvedThe Cariboo Chilco-

tin Regional Hospital District authorized up to 40 per cent of the costs for three major equip-ment projects at GR Baker Memorial Hos-pital in Quesnel. The capital projects include a Chemistry Analyzer, an Immuno Assay Ana-lyzer, and the Quesnel Pharmacy sterile Pro-cessing Room A, during the regular CRD meet-ing Oct. 4.

The total cost of the projects is $1.2M and the amount of the con-tribution requested from the CCRHD is $481,000 (40 per cent of total cost).

Two applicationsfor infrastructure

fundingThe CRD and the City

of Williams Lake will be submitting two applica-tions to the Community

Infrastructure Improve-ment Fund (CIIF) grant program.

The Regional District will apply for $150,000 for construction of the Esler Sports Complex Access Road while the City of Williams Lake will apply for $200,000 in funding for the re-placement of the arena roof at the Cariboo Me-morial Recreation Com-plex. Matching funding for these projects will be allocated from the Central Cariboo Recre-ation and Leisure Ser-vices financial plan.

UNBC UpdateDr. George Iwama,

president and vice-chancellor of the Uni-versity of Northern Brit-ish Columbia, appeared before the board to pro-vide information on the Visions North initiative. The update and presen-

tation focused on UNBC and the sustainability of northern communities. His presentation also included an update on news program success and the numbers of graduates who are com-mencing careers while remaining in northern BC. Further information about UNBC is avail-able online at unbc.ca.

Barker minerals reports onBlack Bear drilling

Barker Minerals is-sued a press release Oct. 3 that reported drill results on the 2012 Providence drilling pro-gram on its Black Bear projects, 74 kilometres northeast of Williams Lake.

A drill program was undertaken to test for shallow extensions of the high grade silver, gold and lead vein min-eralization exposed in outcrop.

Three holes have been completed to date with BB12-06 drilled to a depth of 90.5 metres, BB12-07 to a depth of 309.14 metres and BB12-08 is at a depth of 340 metres.

On July 30, Barker announced the initial gold and gold pathfind-er elements on BB12-07 from an internal

handheld XRF study. After careful con-

sideration and in order to comply with timely disclosure rules Barker chose to issue these results in advance of fire assay lab results as there were consis-tently high gold and gold pathfinder mineral readings.

Not only were the readings on both counts high, they were also consistently frequent. Had these frequently high readings subse-quently been verified by the lab, the XRF data would have been construed as material information, the press release noted.

As the XRF readings were taken in advance of, or together with the core logging, a time lag was created from

the time XRF readings were taken and the fire assay results were re-ceived and ultimately reported.

The company reports that low order gold val-ues occurred over these same sections of drill core when subsequent-ly analyzed by fire as-say.

The lab analysis, however, has confirmed that the important suite of gold pathfinders ele-ments arsenic (As), an-timony (Sib), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), bismuth (Bi), thallium (Tl) and tungsten (W) are widely dispersed in elevated levels, individ-ually or associated in various combinations throughout most of the 90.5 metres of BB12-06 and 309.14 metres of BB12-07.

Bear complaints continue, conservation officer says

Bear complaints con-tinue to come in every day to the BC Conser-vation Office Service in Williams Lake.

“It’s quieted down compared to a few weeks ago when several bears were put down within the Cariboo region. The cooler weather will help to move them on, but the mountain ash and rose hip bushes are full and the bears are eating those. Rose hips have a lot of vitamins in them so they really go after them and mountain ash, I don’t know if it gives them a high or what, but they eat those. They like oregon grapes too,” Sgt.

Len Butler of the Cari-boo Chilcotin regional office says.

He also reminds peo-ple to pick their fruit, refrain from putting garbage cans out until morning, and keep at-tractants away from their yards.

On Sept. 25 a par-ent alerted the Tribune there was a mom and cubs near Mountview School on Thursday evening and on Sunday the bear at Scout Island was swimming in the pond during the after-noon.

The bears are around and will be for another month, Butler says.

On Oct. 1, Jeff Tyre arrived to work at the conservation office in

Williams Lake.“That’s a great help,”

Butler says. There had been only two COs in Williams Lake, also re-sponsible as far west as Bella Coola.

There hasn’t been any relocation of bears this season in the Cariboo Chilcotin, other than from Big Bar Park in the summer; however, Butler says the numbers of bears that have been put down are less than other areas in the prov-ince, such as the Koote-nays.

Late September the BC SPCA Williams Lake Branch posted an article (http://www.spca.bc.ca/news-and-events/news/out-of-sight-out-of-mind-is.html) on its

website with comments from BC SPCA animal welfare educator Megan Cant.

Cant says relocation of bears is not always the solution because bears may return to where they originated.

“Bears are highly motivated to return to their home ranges. They represent areas that bears are familiar with and have worked hard to establish. Even when bears are taken hundreds of kilometres away, they may still be able to navigate their way home success-fully.”

Bears that have be-come used to human food will seek it out in new locations and bears

may get killed when try-ing to travel back home, either by hunters or ve-hicles.

“Research suggests that they may actually remain vulnerable to these mortality sources for weeks, if not, months after release,” Cant says. Cant urges communities and citizens to become more bear smart, some-thing Butler hopes for as well.

In a previous inter-view, he told the Tri-bune he would like to see a Bear Aware pro-gram established in Williams Lake and once the season quiets down he plans to meet with the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District to see

if that can happen.For now, however,

his staff is busy because as bear complaints are lessening in numbers, the hunting violation complaints are on the rise.

“It’s always like that,” he says. “People hunt out of season, they don’t have a tag for a specific animal. It could be hunting at night - we get a lot of those calls.”

People sometimes are shooting off road or from vehicles. There are many violations, Butler explains.

The COs try to be proactive and patrol ar-eas to check hunters and ensure they are follow-ing the proper rules and regulations.

“It’s such a big area with a lot of hunting going on. That’s a big part of our responsibil-ity. The enforcement of those regulations.”

Moose are sometimes left for dead because hunters don’t have the proper tag.

“Say they had a tag for a bull moose and they shot a cow moose and have made a mis-take. They’ll leave the moose. We get pretty excited about that. Not only are they hunting illegally, but they are wasting meat too. Meat that’s really important in these communities. And our moose popu-lation as it is, we don’t want to be wasting any of them.”

Williams Lake model airplane engine retailer Bernd Eisele is the re-cipient of EBay’s first International-preneur award.

He was among 200 EBay sellers who entered this year’s competition — EBay also presents awards to an Entrepre-neur of the Year and a Fashion-preneur of the Year. Eisele will receive $2,000.

“They’ve always had the Entrepreneur of the Year award, but I’ve never entered to win. Be-cause EBay is growing so quickly, they created some other awards, so I entered without too high of hopes, but we felt we’d done a good job, and had almost impeccable rat-ings on EBay. We have 60 to 70 per cent repeat business on EBay.”

He wrote out their story and submitted it and admits it was a bit of a shock to learn he had won.

“It was worth a try,” he says, adding he’s been self-employed since he was 19 years old.

Since mid-2007, he has been selling model airplane engines to cus-tomers all over the world, through his company Cox International.

“I’ve been building and flying model air-planes since I was a kid. The brand that we are selling today is the brand

I grew up with and the one most kids grew up with,” he says. “Cox is a lot like Volkswagen cars — everyone either had one or drove one at some point.”

When Cox more or less went out of busi-ness in the U.S., Eisele decided to buy them out and have some fun, he recalls.

Only four per cent of his sales are in Canada. The rest are outside the country, and over half of those are outside of North America to coun-tries such as Australia, Pakistan, Indonesia and United Kingdom.

Today he sells more than $200,000 a year in Cox engines and parts.

“Many sellers on EBay don’t sell outside of their

own country, especially Americans, but the mon-ey isn’t sitting in North America, it’s sitting out-side of there. People are afraid of shipping, of lan-guage barriers, and other things,” he explains. “We approach it as a business. If you approach it as a past-time or a hobby then that’s what you attract. Every buyer is a custom-er whether they spend $2 or $200.”

EBay is one of Cox In-ternational’s selling ven-ues. It also has its own Internet business as well.

Eisele moved Williams Lake from West Vancou-ver in 1995. He had an export car selling busi-ness initially, and then switched to the model airplane venture.

Today Cox Interna-

tional has three full-time employees, housed on the top floor of the Bank of Montreal building on Second Avenue South.

Eisele says he’s having nothing but fun.

“I always have. I’m one of these people that gets up in the morning ready to do something I like. I would never choose a business that wasn’t enjoyable. Money comes by itself. If you do things well, money falls into place. If you do it solely for the purpose of earning money, it can be pretty miserable for some people.”

“Entrepreneurs are the engines of Canada’s economy,” said Andrea Stairs, country manager of EBay Canada. “Each year, the Entrepreneur of

the Year Awards uncover stories of Canadian sell-ers who have harnessed the power of the Internet to capitalize on business opportunities, both in Canada and around the world. This year’s win-ners have built successful online businesses by un-derstanding their market and satisfying their cus-tomers’ needs time and again.”

Eisele also teaches courses on how to be successful on EBay at Thompson Rivers Uni-versity’s Williams Lake campus. He guides par-ticipants over a two-day workshop to learn how to set up and manage an EBay account.

His next workshop takes place Oct. 20 and 21.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Associa-tion is here to help local businesses, says associa-tion CEO Amy Thacker.

The CCCTA is a non-profit society, governed by a board of directors, selected by businesses in the region, and complete-ly independent of gov-ernment, Thacker said in an address to the Wil-liams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, Thursday, Sept. 27.

The board functions as an advisory body, while staff in the office deliver programs.

Programs are delivered on behalf of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and La-bour and on behalf of the BC Film Commission.

There are a number of standing committees, and marketing is one of the most actively seen out-reaching into communi-ties, Thacker explained.

“We encourage you to get involved, share infor-mation and focus on the message you want us to be sharing.”

The magazine pub-lished each year by the CCCTA goes out inter-nationally to tourism of-

fices, to journalists vetted through the BC Travel Trade Operators, any-body doing initial inves-tigation to come into the region and do tourism or film work.

“We urge you to check out the section about you, and if we’re miss-ing anything, or it’s not the information you want us to carry, please let us know,” Thacker told Chamber members.

She also told mem-bers communities in the region do have the op-tion to submit annually to the Community Tour-ism Opportunity (CTO) through the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Labour, for projects that would help

attract tourists.A recent example of

CTO funding recently garnered in the region was for the Xat’sull Heri-tage Village, CCCTA marketing and commu-nity relations manager Brad McGuire said.

“They just had some new signage placed on Hwy. 97 both north and south — one at Deep Creek and one right at Xat’sull from the north.”

It’s not just signage that CTO’s involved with, but it’s one of the more noticeable ones from the general public, he added.

Another program in place, attracts journalists to give unpaid coverage of the region.

“The media program brings the journalists here through flight and transportation support, so it’s not out-of-pocket, and they write stories about you that you don’t have to pay for,” Thacker explained.

A travel trade program works with tour opera-tors around the world to talk about your commu-nities, your business, and to sell. “They are selling experiences to private business and tourists around the world, which is again marketing the community and the re-gion.”

Additionally, the CCCTA provides work-shops to community, most recently around social media, world host online reputation man-agement, but those are driven by what stake-holders are asking for.

“They are always evolving,” she said, add-ing they hold an annual tourism summit and are always doing advocacy work.

“We have a commit-tee that works with you in lobbying efforts or navigating bureaucracy if there is something that is impeding your busi-ness and your ability to do business.”

This November, CCCTA will be celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary of incorporation, Thack-er said. It was the Cari-boo Tourism Association at the time, made up of chambers and boards of trade in the region.

Today the CCCTA covers the area from Lil-looet to Stoner, just south of Prince George, and from Wells Gray Provin-cial Park to the central coast.

Minister of small business here todayHonourable Naomi

Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business, will be a guest at a Wil-liams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce roundtable discussion for businesses. This after-

noon, Oct. 9. Yamamoto is a mem-

ber of the Cabinet Com-mittee on Jobs and Skills Training, and previously served as Minister of Ad-vanced Education, Min-ister of State for Inter-

governmental Relations, and Minister of State for Building Code Renewal.

In 2005, Naomi was appointed as an inaugu-ral member of the Pre-mier’s Small Business Roundtable.

Page 6: Williams Lake Tribune, October 09, 2012

October is Small Busi-ness Month in British Columbia. Small busi-

nesses make up 98 per cent of all the businesses in our province, and are the most important driv-ers of our provincial economy.

They account for more than half of all private sector em-ployment in British Columbia — that’s over one million jobs! They employ part-time students and support careers that provide for families.

Communities like ours depend on small businesses. Often family-

o w n e d and op-e r a t e d , t h e y provide us with the ser-

vices we need, with a local touch. Small business owners work in-credibly hard - whether in setting up their business, getting it off the ground, or keeping it running – it takes a lot of courage and dedica-tion to do what they do.

They work long hours and put everything they have into making their businesses successful.

Every day, I am amazed by their passion and by how much they bring to our community, whether by creating jobs, by pro-viding much-needed services, or by donating to local causes.

In tough economic times around the world, British Colum-bia stands out as an economic powerhouse, and there is no doubt in my mind that small businesses have played a key role in this.

However, it’s not enough just to cheer them on – we also need to help them.

Nothing gets in the way of growing a small business like too much regulation, and that’s why our government has been cutting the red tape to help small busi-nesses as much as we can.

We’ve reduced the paperwork and, through our BC Jobs Plan, we’re provided an extra $3 mil-lion to the Small Business Ven-ture Capital Program tax credit to lend a helping hand.

I hope you’ll join me this month in giving thanks to our local small businesses for everything they do for Williams Lake.

Let’s hear where council stands

Celebrating small business

As a political junkie and arm chair critic, I wanted to know how

our councillor/ delegates to the re-cent UBCM AGM voted on the pro-marijuana decriminalization and no-tanker motions. I thought it would be interesting for all their constituents, as well as myself, to see where they stood on these contro-versial issues. Only two, councillors Surinderpal Rathor and Geoff Bour-don, have answered so far. I’m writ-ing this on Thursday because of the holiday, so I’ll wait to comment until the others respond. I’m sure they’ve just been busy.

***As ex-

p e c t e d , a goodly n u m b e r of citizens t u r n e d out last

Tuesday to discuss SD#27’s Initial Options Report. Also as expected, few of the attendees were impressed. Let’s hope, that however this all turns out, the end result is what is best for the students. Is anyone lobbying Vic-toria for more funding?

***The tainted meat affair is a good

reason to buy local as much as we can. The bigger the business the bigger the problem is when some-thing goes wrong. Fortunately no one died this time. Will anyone ever be held accountable? XL foods will take a financial hit, but so will the cattlemen, retailers and consumers who did nothing wrong. What did happen? Was it a staff mistake? Too few inspectors? An incompetent ag-riculture minister? All of the above? I bet we’ll never know.

***To end on a happier note. I am not

a Stephen Harper fan but have to give credit where credit is due. He and whoever helps him choose BC’s Lt. Governors do a stellar job.

Outgoing LG Steven Point did us proud, and there is every reason to believe his successor, Merritt rancher and former BC Cattlemen’s president Judy Guichon, will do the same. All the nice things that have been written and said about her are right on.

Some like it hotHe’s hot, but can he handle the

job?There’s been a flurry of gossip

surrounding Justin Trudeau’s unde-niable good looks and charisma and the effect his obvious appeal will have on the polls. But is it enough to cover up his weaknesses as he goes after the Liberal leadership?

And if so, should it be? Recent polls suggest Trudeau is a political fan favourite and in no small part due with his charm and easy-on-the-eyes appeal. In fact analysts and critics alike point to his appearance as one of his greatest “assets.”

However, voters don’t just turn to physical appeal when forming their

opinion – and that’s where Trudeau falls short. Competence and experi-ence are huge in the minds of Cana-dians when casting their ballot, all of which Trudeau lacks.

Trudeau has demonstrated his passion for social justice and climate change, delivering speeches on gay rights, youth involvement, afford-able housing and citizenship.

Critics have gone after him for his lack of economic background or know-how in global diversification.

But that’s why there’s a team of like-minded party employees and MP’s. Trudeau doesn’t need to be the strongest in the economic realm, he simply needs to have members

on his team with a strong financial background – then he needs to lis-ten to them. The point is politics needs Trudeau and Canadians need Trudeau.

He cares, he’s confident, he’s pas-sionate and he’s open to change, sug-gestion and a political revamp.

People listen to him, Canada is taking notice. And if it’s because the kid can kick some ass (literally) in the boxing ring, rock a three-piece suit and appeal to people’s natural desire to like people more because of their good looks – then good for him. The more interest Trudeau can garner for politics, the better.

Bears do eat meatEditor:

Just today, Oct. 4, one of your readers, Sandra Lynch-Bakken, wrote “bears are omnivorous, which means a large percentage of their diet is vegetarian, not meat.” That is not what omnivorous means.

Omnivorous means eating every kind of food.British Columbia provincial handbook No. 11, “The Mammals of Brit-

ish Columbia” by Ian McTaggart Cowan and Charles Guiget calls both the American black bear and the grizzly bear carnivores.

Please Ms. Lynch-Bakken, if you are going to use such words as om-nivorous, do your homework.

Jim DobieWilliams Lake

Bear removal not always best optionEditor:

The no-kill approach to nuisance bears sounds nice at first glance but on closer inspection problems be-come evident.

First, and most important, it isn’t safe. Gary Shelton, ex-CO from Bella Coola in his book “Bear Attack,” says that when it comes to wanting you for lunch the black bear is more dangerous than the grizzly. Any bear that is not afraid of humans is an animal to fear. Moving a dangerous bear from one location to another doesn’t make him become a “safe” bear. He is just a dangerous bear in a different place.

Relocating isn’t a good solution. In the first place, you are probably putting this animal in another ani-mals’ territory and are subjecting it to a very stress-ful if not lethal situation. Very possibly your relocated animal will decide that life was better in its old home and decide to return there. A bear from North Vancou-

ver was relocated to Wells Gray Provincial Park but he returned immediately to Vancouver.

Ms. Mikuse suggests bear spray as a deterrent. Bear spray is only useful as a defense mechanism. It is only 75 per cent effective and this at a distance of 10 feet or less. There are documented accounts of bears actually liking the spicy flavor of bear spray. Spraying your en-virons will only serve to attract bears.

Picking your apples defeats the purpose of having an apple tree. If they aren’t picked while they are green the bear will probably get them and will ruin your tree in the process.

If you want to compost your organic waste you will have to have your composter in the house.

I believe that any bear that is not afraid of you is a threat to your property, to you, and especially to chil-dren. It should therefore be eliminated.

Editor:I am writing in regards to the

recent human-bear conflict in Wil-liams Lake and the surrounding area.

I grew up at 150 Mile House, born and raised in a hunting and fishing family. Although I moved to Pem-berton, B.C. 15 years ago, I still maintain close family ties to the area and community as a whole. The way of life in the Cariboo is ingrained upon me and I proudly have passed that on to my own family. So, it was with dismay that I learned about the recent bear killings in the area.

For the past five years, I have been working with the Get Bear Smart Society, a non-profit organization in Whistler. Our group works with many stakeholders (including our local waste disposal company, our municipality, RCMP and conserva-tion service) at reducing human-bear conflict and striving towards non-lethal bear management. It has been an amazing experience that has really shown me what can be achieved with team work and com-munity involvement.

I want the community of Williams Lake to know that there is a better way of co-existing with bears. It is absolutely shocking and unaccept-able for so many bears to be shot in the area in such a short time. I urge

the folks in Williams Lake to take a stance. Demand better - of your Conservation Officer Service, your community, neighbours, and your-selves.

Make change happen! This starts with securing your attractants (check www.bearsmart.com to see what constitutes an attractant) and encouraging and educating your neighbours to do the same. Write letters to mayor and council and request that they initiate a garbage/wildlife attractants bylaw and sup-port Bear Smart community ini-tiatives. Join together with local stakeholders to reduce human-bear conflict by initiating a Bear Smart movement (see www.bearsmart.com for info. on how to make this happen). And, finally, voice your opinions to the conservation service. There are ways to successfully man-age bears in a non-lethal manner.

As a community deeply connect-ed to the land, you have it in your very being to provide protection and conservation in a time of need.

It doesn’t seem possible that so many bears could all be causing trouble at the same time. It doesn’t happen that way. It breaks my heart. It’s not acceptable. Not here - and not there.

As the Quesnel/Horsefly sockeye run reaches its peak, it is apparent the numbers continue to be low.

“We’re nearing the peak and this particu-lar year is one of the low-cycle return years for Quesnel Sockeye,” Fisheries and Oceans Canada acting regional director Les Jantz says. “They are primarily four-year-old fish and it follows what is termed a cyclical pattern.

“It has one very large return year, which is next year’s cycle year, that is followed by a subdominant return year, and then two off-cycle return years. This year is one of those and 2015 will be the next off-cycle year return.”

Jantz explains that in the past dominant cycle years, the larg-est return has been in the order of 12 million fish. In the off-cycle one of the largest re-turns witnessed was 270,000 sockeye. That was in 2004.

“If you go back in time, on this cycle there were a number of years when they were in the hundreds to low thousands in the 70s and 80s.”

The Quesnel/Horse-fly sockeye were fore-cast pre-season to be a fairly low return, which is being proven as the stock assessment is showing very low numbers.

“We don’t have a number. We’re still in the process of doing our escapement sur-veys. Generally the timing of the prelimi-nary escape estimate is ready early to late No-vember. It depends on how many systems we have marked for cap-ture programs.”

Early estimates for the Fraser Sockeye re-turn in total is around 2.3 million fish.

“That’s a fairly low return for Fraser Sock-eye in total. We did have a number of First Nations food, social and ceremonial fish-eries, but there were no commercial or rec-reational fisheries in Canada directed on

these fish this year.”Jantz doesn’t have

the catch statistics around the First Na-tions fisheries, but says the numbers were defi-nitely down compared to what would be seen in a stronger return year.

“The harvest was below what we would normally like to see for First Nations,” he adds.

Northern Shuswap Tribal Council fisher-ies resource manager Gord Sterritt says the sockeye run is over. “There could be a few stragglers coming in, but we haven’t seen many in the Quesnel and Horsefly system this year at all.”

Sterrit says food fishing wasn’t great, but a lot of it was reli.

ant on the Chilko stock and catching those at Farwell Canyon.

“Some of the upper Fraser stock weren’t doing too bad so the fish that were caught in the main Fraser would have been from those stocks.

“If we were to rely on the Quesnel and Horsefly this year, we definitely wouldn’t have caught many fish. We knew it was a low run this year, but not this bad.”

There are very few fish on the spawning grounds, he adds.

“We were doing enu-meration in the creeks and we didn’t observe sockeye.

“We’re also doing Chinook surveys in the Horsefly and we saw very few sockeye

spawning and actually some pre-spawning mortalities.”

It’s a huge concern, he says.

“The Quesnel run has been declining for a number of years and it’s pretty much a di-saster.”

Sterritt has worked for NSTC since 2005 as the fisheries re-source manager.

Last week Ster-ritt and his staff were installing fencing in McKinley Creek to be-gin Coho counts that will continue until De-cember.

“Every year we enu-merate Coho as they migrate into the creek. We take measurements, record the health of the fish, and the number of fish that come into the system,” he says.

McKinley is essen-tially an indicator stock for Coho for the inte-rior Fraser River popu-lation, upstream of the Thompson River.

“It allows us to de-termine how the run is doing. It provides information where the stocks are above the Thompson, and what’s coming back into the upper Fraser.”

Coho are the last to run and won’t be show-ing up significantly yet; however, the fences go in early so none are missed if they do show up early.

“Usually through the middle of October until the middle of Novem-ber we’re enumerating Coho coming through the fence until there are no more showing up. We also do stream walks, over flights in the different systems within the Quesnel that aren’t connected to the McKinley,” Sterritt says.

The stats are used for the Pacific Salmon Commission to help determine what’s hap-pening in the water-shed.

Sterritt says Chi-nook salmon numbers are also down not only in this area, but in the whole upper Fraser and Kamloops Lake area.

In the wake of a phenomenal fourth-place finish by the Canadian women’s gymnastics team at the London 2012 Olympics, Williams Lake Gymnastics Club coach Mike Stinson said his athletes are excited about the club’s upcoming competi-tive season.

The WLGC’s competitive team is the largest it’s been in recent years with four brand new members just starting in the club’s competitive program.

“We have new members, so we’re offering more female classes for our competitive team,” Stinson said. “We have a level one class, which is our beginners, so we’re able to start training them a bit earlier to get them ready for what’s coming in the future. We’re trying to make our team a bit stronger.”

The WLGC’s competitive team currently sits at 15 members. Stin-son said everyone’s currently get-ting their skills and routines ready for the club’s first competitive meet Feb. 6-7 in Quesnel.

“We’re excited to start a new year,” he said. “We have a bigger team than we’ve had in years and

we have some new, young faces so we’re just getting our skills down.

“Our new team members have to get new routines for all the events. One of my ex-gymnasts, Jamie MacPherson, she comes in and gets their floor routines ready for them. She volunteers her time, which is a big benefit to us.”

The club’s senior competitors are honing skills and getting routines perfected.

“We’re looking to have a good season this year,” Stinson said.

“There’s higher expectations from our senior members of our team this year. We’ve set our goals for our club to be in high standings with our provincial system within the next couple of years and we have a couple of young athletes who are really able to do it.”

Stinson and the WLGC’s com-petitive team members said watch-ing the Canadian team perform dur-ing this past summer’s Olympics was extremely motivational.

“They finished fourth — that’s

higher than they have in history,” Stinson said. “They weren’t pre-dicted to be in the top 20. They were expected to finish last. The big thing for me about that is the team was mainly B.C. kids. That’s saying a lot for B.C. gymnastics because normally it’s been kids from the east dominating the sport.”

The WLGC is also beginning to look for a new building to base out of, as it has started to outgrow its current location on Mackenzie Av-enue.

“Every one of our classes is full,” Stinson said. “The building we’re in now is a great building, but we’re growing and we want to continue to grow. We are at more than 200 kids in our club right now. If we had room to fit more we would and a bigger facility would very much help.

“We’ve wanted to run a trampo-line class here but our ceiling isn’t high enough. With trampoline be-ing an Olympic sport now a lot of kids want to do it.

“If we want to keep strong ath-letes [in the club] we have to figure something out.”

Williams Lake base-ball player Tanner Gainer, 23, was recent-ly awarded the Thomp-son Rivers University Scholar Athlete Award for 2011/12.

Gainer, a member of the TRU Wolpack baseball team, was honoured Oct. 2 at a banquet in Kamloops by TRU president Alan Shaver.

“The award I was presented with was for being an Academic All Canadian,” he said. “It’s given to any ath-lete who maintains an average grade point av-erage of 3.5 or higher for the entire academic school year.”

Gainer joined the TRU Wolpack baseball club in September of 2007 before continu-ing on to play out his entire eligibility with TRU, completing five seasons with the team.

“I am now a mem-ber of the TRU alumni team that still holds close ties with the play-

ers and we still play our fellow Wolfpack team every Wednesday night,” he said.

Gainer’s fam-ily moved to Williams Lake when he was four where he grew up playing baseball and hockey.

“I first moved to Kamloops when I was 16 years old to play for the Kamloops Riv-erdogs,” he said. “[It] was in the spring/sum-mer of grades 11 and 12 where I was a mem-ber of the Riverdogs baseball team and was named captain for the Riverdogs in my senior year.

“I also played rep hockey for Williams Lake until I graduated high school, which is why I was only in Kam-loops for the spring/summer of grade 11 and 12.”

Gainer played sec-ond base for the Riv-erdogs, before being migrated by TRU head coach Ray Chadwick to third base for his university playing ca-reer.

He added he grew up learning the sport in Williams Lake, and hopes in the future there’s an opportunity for more kids locally to experience it.

“I learned at an early age how to play base-ball,” he said. “My fa-ther and I would play in the back yard when I was growing up. Wil-liams Lake used to have a decent program throughout my youth and I was able to play at home competitively until about age 12.

“After that the pro-gram in Williams Lake was barely afloat and I was forced to venture outside of Williams Lake in order to con-tinue to play.”

He said it’s unfor-tunate the program in Williams Lake wasn’t popular enough to con-tinue.

“It’s upsetting for me to hear Williams Lake’s baseball pro-gram has fizzled out,” he said.

“It’s truly important for children to grow up in a competitive

and social setting and I believe Williams Lake should bring back a competitive season that will allow children to grow up and develop — not only with motor development — but also because it gives them a chance to be a part of something.

“It’ll give them an opportunity to get out-side, be active, become a part of something special and, most im-portantly, keep them out of trouble.”

Shooters return with prizesA group of Wil-

liams Lake shooters joined 40 competitors in Quesnel Sept. 29 for its biannual Quesnel Rod and Gun Club Turkey Shoot.

The shooters, who

travelled to the shoot from around the prov-ince, battled for 55 prizes while enjoying beautiful weather, fun events and fine folks.

Events at the shoot included: 16-yard

events, sliders, An-nie Oakleys, a Bush-whacker, 10-person buddy shoots, a 10-shot same spot event and three paper turkey contests.

The event featured

three automated trap houses. Numbers two and three were stan-dard trap targets with targets moving in ran-dom directions away from the shooters.

Trap thrower one, however, was set up with two different sporting clay targets.

The second machine threw regular targets high to the left at a sharp angle.

Traps two and three had average scores of eight; however, trap one dipped to average scores of four.

Quesnel residents Bob Taylor and Ken Edwards were dedi-cated scorers, while Katrenia Veley ran the sign-up sheets, Tim Johnson, Gord John-ston and Peter Malic kept the trap machines running and the event moving smoothly.

Sonja Johnston prepped the clubhouse for the competition.

The youngest shooter

was nine-year-old Odin Mills, while the oldest was Prince George’s Paul Cailleaux.

Williams Lake shoot-ers faired well — win-ning in multiple events and taking home some prizes.

Chuck Pigeon missed just one shot at 16 yards to win a tur-key. He went on to run a perfect 10 out of 10 shots for a ham, was a finalist in the second Annie Oakley elimina-tion event for a turkey, was a finalist in the Bushwhacker event for a turkey and broke an-other perfect 10 for a leg of lamb.

Mike Stewart broke nine clay targets to win a turkey in the 16 yard event.

Breanna Davidson, 16, demolished eight clay targets to win a steak pack.

She followed that up to break eight more to bring home a leg of lamb.

Meandering through a beautiful fall

Friday, Sept. 28, I drove to Cari-boo Flats to visit the Ganos, our daughter Melodie`s family, a beautiful drive this time of year!

The leaves are all a brilliant yel-low, dancing on the poplar trees and some got carried away a-float-ing to the ground creating a spec-tacular array against the dark blue sky, making me smile in delight!

In my rearview mirror I could see the leaves fluttering on the highway behind me, seeming to scurry around for a good place to land, almost like a postcard pic-ture moment!

Since talking on the cell phone is not a good idea I decided that driving and snapping pictures with my digital probably fits in that cat-egory too, even though with the sun shining on the fluttering vari-ety of bright sunny colored leaves on the banks of the road seemed to tempt me I just kept on driving as I snapped pictures in my mind!

Driving along Highway 20 head-ed towards Cariboo Flats takes my breath away as the scenery is very distracting with gorgeous moun-tains off in the distance, this time of year a wide variety of colours of leaves creates a bright contrast to the evergreen trees standing proudly along the hilly and moun-tainous terrain.

As I drove along I ranted to myself on how I just have to get myself a second battery for my camera.

I could have taken so many good pictures of the scenery except I was “saving”my battery!

Besides the leaves there is such a variety of different fences along the highway, log fences, wire fences, tree over fences, low fenc-es, fences made higher, all with

eye catching logs that stuck in my mind as a good picture!

As well so many òld log build-ings in various stags of decay. Oh what stories they could tell!

Some are right on the edge of a flowing creek or river, I’m sure they were never intentionally built there but the running water must have washed away banks!

Further along I saw “cowpies” on the road, so had to be on the lookout for livestock, sure enough one cow was nursing her calf right in the middle of the road, when I drove by her I hollered “get off the road, your going to get hit!” at which she switched her tail at me in disdain!

Anyway the sun was setting al-ready... eek I thought I have to get going because I said to expect me by such ‘n such a time, but have you seen the sunsets out west.

A very pretty show near Wil-liams Lake, but throw in the yel-low trees and the snowy-capped mountains, now I am really dis-tracted and all of a sudden there is my husband Evan, pushing cows down the road, so I slam on the brakes and proceed to take blurry pictures cause I don’t have the dang camera set right.

By the time I get it right the sun is gone and it’s too dark ... ach! But I got a couple anyway.

Being as it is getting to be “that

time of year” riders are cross-ing the road with cows or mov-ing cows down the road, hunters are heading to the mountains in search of the “big one” just be careful on the highways for the cowboys and cows as they head to the fall range.

It is a very important time of year for the ranchers since this is when the cows are rounded up, the calves are weaned and the stock is hauled to the stockyards to be sold.

The result of the sales tells the story of how well the stock has been tended to and how well the rancher has handled the care of the stock.

Linda Lou Howarth photoLinda-Lou Howarth enjoys the scenery while driving on Highway 97 to visit a friend and as the last shadows of the day fall comes across her rancher husband herding cows.

Collaboration contributes to success of financial literacy project

Over the past 12 months Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy has de-livered a total of 11 community work-shops on financial literacy that have provided direct benefit to 76 people.

Organizing and delivering the series of six community workshops in Wil-liams Lake was hard work and would not have been possible without support from our local financial community.

Another important part of this pro-gram was the roaming information service that was delivered at many lo-cations in and around Williams Lake. This outreach work has connected with more than 140 people seeking information or advice on financial lit-eracy issues.

The current project ends on Nov. 23 this year, but CCPL is committed to seeking additional funding to de-liver the program long term. There is still a lot happening before the end of the project, including a contest and a financial literacy symposium on Nov. 16 at Boitanio Mall.

The symposium will provide fi-nancial literacy information and offer workshops for seniors, families and youth.

The sixth and final community workshop ‘Be a Smart Consumer’ will be the last session of the day. More information on this free event and the contest will be coming soon.

How we spend and manage our money as individuals has a direct im-pact on the strength of our local econ-omy; provides leadership to the next

generation; and through responsible spending choices can have a positive impact upon our environment. So budget for the life you want to live and don’t let too much debt limit what you can achieve!

A very special ‘thank you’ goes to all the guest speakers: Bob Osmachen-ko (Community volunteer), Lyndsey Carter (Williams Lake and District Credit Union), Brian Purdy (PMT Chartered Accountants), Paul Eves (Scotiabank), Joanne Stacey (RBC).

Thanks must also be given to the Williams Lake Library and Women’s Contact Society for providing the ex-cellent facilities in which to host the workshops and to all the local media groups who assisted with the aware-ness raising campaign: The Williams Lake Tribune, The Stew Magazine,

The Rush and Shaw Cable and www.williamslake.com

If there is space, information for two small columns:

My favourite workshop feedback: “Made me realize how much I’m

losing on slurpees!”“I enjoyed the workshop and how

much money I could save and how much I have wasted.”

“Face reality – re – wastes / wants”“I would like my husband to come

to this workshop it will sure help with monthly payments.”

“Thank you for the information / awareness. I have very risky attitudes / behaviour about WANTS + unneces-sary expenses.”

red Cedar reading group startsCanadian authors

and illustrators create wonderful offerings of entertaining and edu-cational books for chil-dren.

Each year books by Canadian authors are nominated for the Red Cedar Book Award, British Columbia’s Young Reader’s Choice Award.

The Cariboo Region-al District Library’s Williams Lake Branch annually recruits young

readers for its Red Ce-dar Reading Group.

Members of the group read as many of the nominated books as they can, then vote for which ones they prefer.

After votes from Red Cedar groups around the province are count-ed, two titles; one fic-tion and one non-fic-tion, will be recognized as the best Canadian books of the year for young readers.

For children in grades

four to seven, the Red Cedar Reading Group will meet every month, discussing books and conducting neat activi-ties related to them.

The program runs from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., starting Thurs-day, Oct. 18.

To register, e-mail [email protected], or visit the CRD’s Williams Lake Branch library, at 180 A North Third Av-enue.

Film club screens L’enfant tonightThe Williams Lake

Film Club is show-ing the award winning Belgian film L’enfant tonight, Oct. 9 at the Gi-braltar Room.

Screening will start at 7 p.m., back doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

L’enfant (The Child) shows a young couple living in a run down, gritty working class neighbourhood some-where in Belgium. There are no jobs, there is not much motivation, there seems to be just some sense of survival. Bruno, around 20, is a hustler and down-and-out petty thief. He lives with his girlfriend So-nia, about 18, who is pregnant.

As Joe Morgenstern from The Wall Street Journal said: “ This film is astonishing in its clar-ity and shattering in its power” and I think this really says it best.

This film was released in 2006, French, with English subtitles, which are very easy to read in-deed in this one.

The film is a Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or award winner cre-ated by the Dardennes brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, are from Bel-gium.

They write, produce and direct their films together and started this in the late 1970s. They first came to interna-

tional attention in the mid-1990s.

They won their first major international film prize when Rosetta won the Palme d’Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Fes-tival.

All their films since have played at the

Cannes main competi-tion and won one of the major prizes. Over the span of 12 years they have won more awards than any other filmmak-ers in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

The Dardenne broth-ers craft lean, un-fancy

movies, full of ordinary people, with no special effect, but the emotional impact of their movies is devastating. So is L’enfant. You want to seriously dislike Bruno, but somehow it is dif-ficult once you realize that he really has neither the ability nor the edu-cation or inclination to think through what he has done – or is doing. He simply goes along with life in this post-en-fantindustrial area. He is not a bad person, just a guy who liked Sonia, who suddenly does not like him anymore. Sonia is from the same back-ground, but she knows one thing – she has to take care of their baby. Both are somewhat like children themselves, simply reacting to life.

The Williams Lake Film Club shows L’enfant on Tuesday.

fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-

niors will often need assistance from fam-ily members to put safety measures into place. As well, family mem-bers are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fire. Focus on

these six priorities to help aging family members pro-tect themselves against fire in the home.

INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection.

For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound.

An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended.

Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance.

REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life!FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14

“Fall back” to smart home safety

Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fires that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The findings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fires in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.

Jenny FremlinSpecial to The Tribune

That extra nip in the fall air provides a re-minder that increased vigilance is required to protect your family from carbon monox-ide, known as the “si-lent killer”.

In late 2008 John Gignac, a retired fire-fighter, lost his niece, her husband and their two children to car-bon monoxide (CO) poisoning. A blocked chimney vent forced the deadly gas from their gas fireplace back into their home. And just one year ago, a Whitehorse family and a boarder were also killed by CO poison-ing.

After his family tragedy, Gignac estab-lished the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education and spends his retirement imploring others to protect themselves from CO with one sim-ple step: installing a CSA-approved carbon monoxide alarm.

“My niece Laurie Hawkins and her fam-ily had no chance be-cause they did not have a CO alarm,” Gignac says. “If they did, they would still be with us today.”

Carbon monoxide is colourless, odour-less and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite

the average home hav-ing several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not in-stalled a CO alarm.

In addition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symp-toms of carbon monox-ide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever. It is routinely respon-sible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdi-agnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizzi-ness, confusion, the loss of physical mobil-ity, brain damage and ultimately, death.

Gignac offers these four CO safety steps:

• Have a licensed in-spector check heating systems and other fu-el-burning appliances, including fireplaces, every year.

• Install one CSA-approved CO alarm on each storey of your

home and outside all sleeping areas.

• Check outside to make sure all exhaust flues and vents are not obstructed.

• Replace CO alarms every 7-10 years depending on the manufacturer, whether battery operated or hardwired.

More carbon mon-oxide safety tips are available online at www.endthesilence.ca.

What to do when your CO alarm

goes off

Having a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm go off is un-nerving. With smoke alarms, it is one of two things: a real fire or a false alarm, most like-ly caused by cooking, or a steamy shower. Experts tell us if the danger is real, you will see fire and smell smoke and taste the acrid air. This is when you act on your family escape plan to get out and stay out. You leave all windows closed, so fresh oxygen doesn’t fuel the fire, and re-group outside at your predetermined meeting place.

But with carbon monoxide, dubbed the “silent killer,” things are not so clear-cut. You cannot see, taste or smell the deadly gas.

Experts say if your CO alarm sounds, it could be one of three things: a rare but possible waft of CO emanating from a nearby fuel-fired de-vice or appliance, or perhaps triggered by some of the newer air deodorizer products (yes the CO sensors are THAT sensitive!); the “end of life” sig-nal beeping every 30 seconds to remind you to replace the alarm af-ter seven years of use (digital alarms will also display “end”); or much worse, it’s the presence of deadly CO in your home.

How will you know which reason it is? Chances are you won’t, so it’s important to take it seriously, say specialists in this field. Never assume the alarm is simply mal-functioning. Call 911 and leave the home im-mediately.

For utmost safety, al-ways assume CO alarm soundings to be the real thing. If, however, you know the alarm is old, or if it sounds every 30 seconds, it may be tell-ing you it has become outdated and needs re-placing.

Highly recommend-ed are carbon monox-ide alarms with a con-tinuous digital display, letting you know any presence of CO before it reaches levels high

enough to activate the alarm.

Installing one out-

side your sleeping area – so you can see the display reading “zero”

-- lets you know all is well when you turn off the lights.

Fire bans lifted in Cariboo as of Sept. 30Effective as of 12

noon on Sept. 30, open fires have been permit-ted across the Cariboo Fire Centre, due to a decreased risk of wild-

fires.Within the Cariboo

Fire Centre region, the public is now permit-ted to:

• Burn waste, slash or other material.

• Burn stubble or grass.

• Use fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description.

Anyone considering Category 2 or 3 fires must comply with the Ministry of Environ-ment’s Waste Manage-ment Act and Open

Burning Smoke Con-trol Regulation.

For more informa-tion, go to: www.bcairquality.ca As well, Category 3 fires require a burn registration num-ber, which may be ob-tained by calling 1 888

797-1717. Individuals who fail to meet these requirements may be subject to fines.

The onus is on each individual to ensure safe, responsible burn-ing. Those found to have been responsible

for an escaped fire may be liable for fire suppression costs and damages.
