New CAO hired for Williams Lake
A new chief administrative officer has been hired for the City of Wil-liams Lake.
Don DeGagne, presently the CAO for the City of Summerland, has 28 years of local government experi-ence. He will start the position on March 1.
DeGagne has worked throughout a number of communities in B.C. and will bring that experience to Williams Lake,” Mayor Kerry Cook said at Tuesday’s council meeting.
DeGagne has also worked for the City of Revelstoke, the City of Trail, the District of Mackenzie, the City of Prince George, and the Village of Keremeos.
The city received over 90 applica-tions for the position, Cook said.
GATHERING SWEATERS TO SHARE IN WILLIAMS LAkEMonica Lamb-Yorski photo

CRD proceeds with legal action on fire protection
The Cariboo Regional District will pursue legal action to ensure the original fire agreement with the City of Williams Lake for fringe fire protection is enforced.
In a recent survey the CRD re-ceived responses from 328 rural fringe residents. Sixty per cent of respondents indicated they want the CRD to continue legal action, 25 per cent said they want the CRD to pursue developing a vol-unteer fire department to serve the fringe area, and 15 per cent said they want the CRD to de-velop a new fire agreement with the city.
“From those surveys we have a fairly strong mandate and clear direction of what the people in the rural fringe think about what we should be doing with fire
protection,” CRD Chair Al Rich-mond said.
The CRD has also agreed to at-tend a mediation session, as for-mally requested by the city two weeks ago, in an effort to resolve the matter.
“Mediation is part of the pro-cess so we’ve agreed to attend the mediation session and see if we can find some solutions,” Richmond said. “Apparently in the new process they have an op-tion to go to mediation before you go to court so we consider it to be part of the process. Anything we can do to reduce the cost to taxpayers in resolving this issue means we’re certainly prepared to engage in those discussions.”
During a special board meeting Monday, Feb. 4, the CRD del-egated authority to deal with the ongoing litigation with the city to a Williams Lake Fringe Area Fire
Protection Standing Committee consisting of all CRD directors except the representative from the city, who is currently Mayor Kerry Cook.
At their regular meeting Tues-day Cook told city council mem-bers she voted in opposition to the standing committee structure and its authority.
“They proceeded to a closed meeting, which I was not part of,” Cook said.
Coun. Ivan Bonnell said it was “bizarre” that Cook had been removed from working with the CRD board on the issue of fringe protection.
“But fair enough, if they have the authority to do that,” Bonnell said. “It must be cumbersome for yourself as the representative to sit there and go through that, I appreciate how awkward that must be for you,” he told Cook.
“I’m assuming, given they are taking that activity, that they are accepting full responsibil-ity for any costs on that decision because the city is in no shape or form participating,” Bonnell added.
Cook said those types of fi-nancial details have not been dis-cussed with the CRD.
Coun. Laurie Walters said the CRD agreeing to go to a media-tion session is “a positive step in moving forward.”
Cook agreed with Walters, say-ing the two parties have to find a way to more forward.
“There’s still a lot of work to do,” Cook said.
The CRD will host a public meeting Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room of the Cariboo Memorial Complex to present and discuss the results of the survey.

The City of Williams Lake hopes a question and answer document it released Wednesday will clarify the issue of rural fringe fire protection.
In a press release the city said the document answers questions con-cerning the current nego-tiation with the Cariboo Regional District, the cost of city fire opera-tions, and the Williams Lake Fire Department.
Since September, the Tribune has repeatedly asked the city to clarify the CRD’s formula that indicates city residents paid $63 per $100,000 of assessment and would pay $72 per $100,000 for fire protection based on the referendum formula
for a new fringe fire pro-tection agreement with the CRD.
In the Q&A, the city partly answers that ques-tion.
“The city does not col-lect taxes based on indi-vidual services the way the CRD does. City taxes are collected based on overall budgeting needs. The only services that are collected individually are sewer and water, which are run as independent utilities, separate from the general operating budget.”
The city also states the CRD claims it had an agreement with the city to move to a funding formula for the service based on net residential assessment and the city claims city council never committed to that for-
mula.In 2011, the city paid
approximately $1.34 million of the $2.07 mil-lion cost for fire opera-
tions, capital project, and the loan payment on the fire hall, representing 65 per cent of the cost.
Rural residents, in
2011, paid approximate-ly $727,000 for fire op-erations, capital projects and the debenture pay-ment on the fire hall.

City clarifies questions on fringe fire protection
City of WL and union head back to bargaining table
The City of Williams Lake and the Interna-tional Union of Oper-ating Engineers Local 882-B will be back at the negotiating table on Feb. 12.
Both sides were in Vancouver on Friday, Feb. 1 in front of the Labour Relations Board (LRB) to set essential service levels in the event of job action by the union representing city workers.
A mediator met with both sides throughout
the day as they attempt-ed to reach agreement on essential services however no final con-clusion was reached.
The two parties have since continued to work on an agreement and are awaiting a final ruling from the LRB.
“The city is extremely pleased that negotiations
are resuming and we are hopeful that a settlement can be reached as soon as possible,” said Geoff Goodall, general man-ager of planning and op-erations.
“The city is aware that these processes can be stressful and we are doing everything we can to negotiate a fair pack-
age for our employees in acknowledgement of their excellent work.
“At the same time we must address the needs of the taxpayer who wish to keep costs sus-tainable as we move for-ward,” Goodall added.
Union service rep-resentative John Dube said the city has hired
someone to bargain on the city’s behalf.
“It’s good news that there is a willingness to go back and talk,” Dube said.
In the meantime, a second hearing origi-nally scheduled at the Labour Relations Board for Friday, Feb. 8 has been cancelled.

CorrectionThe Ogopogo
snow sculpture pic-tured on the front page of the Tribune on Tuesday, Feb. 5 was at the Seward residence, not the Michaud residence.
The Tribune apol-ogizes for the error.
The Tsilhqot’in have been protecting their land since before contact, says Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste.
“Our people have shown that throughout our history. As many of you know, in the Tsilhqot’in War of 1864, our warriors stopped the road coming in on the west side of our territo-ry,” Baptiste said during the Fish Lake Alliance’s public meeting on the New Prosperity Mine project held at the Salva-tion Army hall in Wil-liams Lake, Jan. 31.
“Back then they were after gold, again they’re after gold, this time in the Fish Lake area,” Baptiste continued.
She said it was a win for her people when the first Prosperity mine proposal was rejected so it’s unfortunate they are having to go through the process again for the new proposal.
“One of the more than 50 deficiencies identified in the project’s environ-mental impact statement
is on the project’s impact on Aboriginal rights, our use of that land, and our fishing,” Baptiste said.
Yunesit’in Chief Rus-sell Myers Ross said an-other go-around with the environmental review of New Prosperity mine proposal is similar to be-ing in an Avatar sequel.
“The issue is a matter of justice,” Ross said. “It’s still a question of who owns the land. There was no time that the Tsilhqot’in ever gave up the land.”
J.P. Laplante, min-ing manager for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, said the new proposal is “com-pletely unacceptable” to the Tsilhqot’in.
During a slide presen-tation he said it is impor-tant to understand that the New Prosperity pro-posal isn’t new.
“It’s alternative num-ber two. Under the fed-eral environmental as-sessment you have to provide alternatives to your mine plan,” Laplan-te said. “This was their alternative and through-out the last hearings the Tsilhqot’in heard ar-
guments about how it couldn’t really be done.”
He said the open pit will be within 500 me-tres of Fish Lake (Tetzan Bay), while the tailings pond, measuring three kilometres wide by four kilometres long, with a 35-story dam, will be lo-cated up stream of Fish Lake and will drown the Little Fish Lake area, which contains tradi-tional harvesting territo-ry and Aboriginal grave sites.
Critical of the water management plan for the mine, LaPlante de-scribed it as complicated at best, and that there are “serious” risks Fish Lake would lower, regardless of efforts to pump the water.
Quoting from Taseko’s own project description, he said spawning habitat at Fish Lake would be impacted.
“The company writes that currently a spawn-ing population of ap-proximately 15,000 fish use an available 12,000 square metres of avail-able spawning habitat. It would be reasonable to expect that the 2,440
square metres that will be retained will be suffi-cient for a spawning pop-ulation of approximately 1,400 pairs of fish.”
The number represents almost 82 per cent of the spawning habitat being destroyed, he added.
Another consideration is the impact the mine could have on the “vi-able” economy of the Chilcotin in-river salmon run.
“It’s an economy that could last forever if the salmon and their habitat are safe guarded.”
In 2010, the Fraser
River Sockeye Salmon generated $60 million dollars to the commercial fishery.
“On average of the last 10 years, the Chilko Riv-er salmon run has rep-resented 25 per cent of that Fraser River Sock-eye run,” La Plante said. “This isn’t about econo-my or no economy, it’s about which economy and for how long.”
He encouraged people to attend the environ-mental review panel hearings and to consider speaking to the panel.
Brian Battison,
Taseko’s vice-president of corporate and com-munity affairs, told the Tribune during the en-vironmental assessment Taseko will present the engineering and applied science which supports the development of New Prosperity.
“The project is sound, designed to protect the environment and to re-flect and strengthen the community values im-portant to the Cariboo.
“The plan is currently being examined by the federal review panel as well as by relevant fed-
eral departments,” Bat-tison said.
He also encouraged members of the public to observe and participate in the process during the upcoming panel hear-ings.
“We acknowledge that there are different views in the community about the role, if any, this proj-ect should play in the fu-ture of the region.
We respect those views and will continue to provide factual infor-mation, answer questions and address concerns,” Battison said.
Columneetza sec-ondary will become the predominantly grades 7 to 9 school and Wil-liams Lake second-ary will become the predominantly grades 10 to 12 school in the new 7 to 12 one-school, two campus second-ary school model being introduced in Williams Lake.
School District 27 trustees announced the decision Wednesday morning after debat-ing the issue at length during a special closed board meeting Tuesday and also agreed to re-
lease their decision im-mediately to the public.
“Now that this deci-sion has been made, we are looking forward to an inclusive process in reshaping the new sec-ondary school in Wil-liams Lake,” says Su-perintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen.
“It has been a couple of decades since we have seen these types of substantial changes, and we have a real op-portunity to look at how we continue to provide an education to our students.”
With some modifica-tions the school trust-ees adopted their Initial Options Report of Sep-
tember 2012 on Jan. 22 as their 2013 Compre-hensive Plan. The one
school, two-campus model was adopted as part of the plan going
forward.At that time, the trust-
ees also indicated that
one campus would be predominantly grades 7-9, while the other campus would be pre-dominantly grades 10-12 but the decision on which campus would serve which group of students was left for further discussion.
In making the deci-sion school board chair Will VanOsch says the trustees looked at all the information they have gathered on the facilities and what they had to offer, feeder schools, proximity to elementary schools, proximity to recreation facilities, history, as well as input received during the Initial Op-
tions public consulta-tion process.
He said the decision was made in camera because much of the discussion involved staffing implications but the trustees also agreed to release the decision as soon after it was made as possible.
“We really try to have as much in the open as we can,” VanOsch said.
“Through this whole process we tried to use as much information as possible,” VanOsch continued. “I think there was quite a bit of consideration given to the choice and in the long run I think it will be a good choice.”

Fish Lake Alliance shares views on New Prosperity mine proposal

Tsilhqot’in National Government mining manager J.P. LaPlante gave a presentation criticizing the New Prosperity Mine proposal on Jan. 31 at the Salvation Army Community Services Centre. Hosted by the Fish Lake Alliance, the information session attracted more than 100 people from the region.
An intersection near Marie Sharpe elementary school at Cameron Street and Second Avenue will soon become a four-way stop.
City council approved the move Tuesday and authorized staff to notify nearby property own-ers of the traffic pattern change.
A request for a four-way stop at the inter-section came forward in December from Bill Davidson of Davidson Financial.
Davidson wrote coun-cil a letter addressing safety concerns, sev-eral collisions and “near
misses” at the site.Kevin Goldfuss, direc-
tor of municipal services, said the letter prompted
the city to examine the issue further.
“It’s a straight through artery from Comer Street to Proctor Street. View-ing that area, we’ve seen it is subject to high speed. Staff feel there would be value to putting in a four-way stop.”
Between 2007 and 2011 there were five motor vehicle incidents at the intersection, he added.
Coun. Laurie Wal-ters said she has always thought the area should require a four-way stop.
Staff will remove the flashing lights presently
at the crosswalk near the intersection and relocate them to South Lakeside Drive.
“In council’s project proposal for South Lake-side Drive in 2013, there
are two crosswalks slated for pedestrian-activated flashing lights.
“One would be at the intersection for Walmart and one at the crossing at the Cariboo Adventist
Academy,” Goldfuss ex-plained.
Relocating the flash-ing lights to one of those locations would elimi-nate the need to purchase one set of new lights.

Four-way stop approved for Cameron St. and Second
Distracted driving campaign launchedDrivers can expect to
see campaigns against distracted driving in-tensify in the Cariboo this month, the RCMP says.
“In February police across B.C. will be tar-geting drivers who op-erate vehicles while us-ing a handheld device,” said Sgt. Bob Verbree the Regional Com-mander for Traffic Ser-vices in the Cariboo.
“Holding a cell phone in your hand on speaker phone is an of-fence under the Motor Vehicle Act of Using an Electronic Device While Driving and could result in a fine of $167.”
It also applies to leaving the cell phone on a console and typing while stopped in traf-fic. “A hands free de-vice is a device that is mounted to your vehi-cle or secured on your person and is operated by one touch,” Verbree said.
In 2012, distracted driving resulted in 30 per cent of motor vehi-cle fatalities and 37 per cent of motor vehicle serious injuries.
Since the imple-mentation of legisla-tion banning the use of handheld devices in January of 2010, police in British Columbia is-sued 105,972 violation tickets for use of hand-held electronic devices.
Graduated License Program drivers (L and N drivers) are not per-mitted any use of elec-
tronic devices, includ-ing hands free devices.
Due to the increased danger, drivers who are observed to contravene other rules of the road while using a handheld device can be charged with Driving without Due Care and Atten-tion.
Offences that put others at risk, including speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too close and failing to obey traffic control devices will trigger the increased penalty.
The fine for driv-ing without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act is $368.
“We are gearing up to have several focused campaigns, and some hard enforcement over the month of February here in the Cariboo. Our statistics show we need to do some main-tenance for using the seatbelt, and using the cell phone in Williams Lake, Quesnel, and 100 Mile House area,” Ve-bree said, adding the
seatbelt is probably the best safety device in a car and everyone should be wearing them.
Cell phone use — talking and tex-ting is very dangerous and the cause of many crashes in B.C., Ver-bree said.
“Would you close your eyes for seven seconds when driv-ing down Highway 97 at 100 kilometres an hour? Really the bot-tom line is personal safety is it not?”

Cattle truckers in short supply
City to replace aging water main on Yorston
One hundred metres of an aging water main will be replaced by the city in the 100 block of Yorston Street.
The pipe is 60-plus years and made of cast
iron and will be re-placed by PVC pipe di-rector of municipal ser-vices Kevin Goldfuss told council Tuesday.
“It’s seen better days,” he said.
On Jan. 12 and Jan. 13 city staff was called out to two different
breaks, occurring 20 feet from each other. They also learned water had entered the base-ment of a residence in the 100 block.
The project will in-corporate 150 millime-tres of PVC and 100 millimetres of PVC
piping, to cover approx-imately 180 metres of water main, 10 residen-tial water services and valves that will require replacement.
Money to cover the cost will come from capital reserves in the water fund.
Many articles have been written chroni-cling the tumultuous times experienced by those in the cattle busi-ness during this past decade; illustrating the highs and lows (seem more numerous) of the cattle producers who form the backbone of the industry.
Often, however, we tend to forget to men-tion the supporting cast; the other folks linked to the cattle in-dustry.
Who are they, and how have they faired in the past decade?
A primary periph-eral-link is the truck-ing sector; particu-larly truckers with the know-how/experience to haul cattle (grain/other farm products).
There used to be a
fair number who were equipped and licensed/insured to transport cattle (hay//grain), enough so that a pro-ducer could pick and chose who he wanted to hire to truck his cattle.
As operating costs escalated (licensing/insurance/fuel) and the volume of cattle requiring transport dropped off substan-
tially, due to a com-bination of factors including, but not lim-ited to; BSE forced sell-offs, ranch/cow dispersals, retirements of aging producers) – so too, did the num-bers of licensed haul-ers.
What was formerly a matter of choice, is now a mad-scramble.
To acquire the ser-vices of a (any) cattle-
liner (particularly just prior to a scheduled livestock-sale) you’d better book well in ad-vance!
In the current cli-mate, the trucker can now pick his custom-ers based solely on where he might want to travel, or on whose livestock he may wish to handle (or not).
Licensed livestock/agricultural truckers are in short-supply in BC and the overall picture seems unlikely to improve.
Who can afford to keep a cattle liner fully licensed and in-sured when it sits idle a good percentage of the year?
Who can feed a fam-ily on such a limited, intermittent income?
As the present lot of
experienced truckers (quite a mature group) retire – who will want their truck-keys?Cattle

This week Independent MLAs Vicki Huntington, John Van Dongen and I
called on the leaders of BC’s major political parties to commit to a re-form agenda that would go a long way to making B.C. politics more democratic and more effective after the May election.
We’ll introduce legislation this session to move the next fixed elec-tion date after May 2013 to the fall, beginning in 2017. We can’t contin-ue to have a political budget every four years that isn’t properly scruti-nized or passed into law before peo-
ple go to the ballot box.
We’re a l s o c a l l i n g on the govern-
ment and opposition to support our upcoming bill to ban corporate and union political donations and im-pose a B.C. residency requirement for individual donors. These changes would be in place for the next elec-tion.
Party leadership contests are also in need of reform, and we’re writing to the chief electoral officer for ad-vice on how Elections BC could pro-vide oversight for leadership races. Party leaders can become premiers, so the public must have confidence that the selection process is beyond reproach. We’re also demanding the re-instatement of the secret ballot process to elect the Speaker of the House. The current practice allows the governing party to designate the Speaker, which diminishes the office’s direct accountability to all MLAs. We’ll also be introducing a motion to change the nature of legis-lative committees. Currently B.C.’s legislative committees rarely meet, if at all, but some simple changes will allow every MLA to have a le-gitimate and effective role. Finally, we’re calling on the leaders of all po-litical parties to allow their represen-tatives to vote in the best interests of their constituents, rather than forcing MLAs to vote along party lines. As an Independent, my votes are always free votes, and party MLAs should enjoy similar freedoms. Together these reforms represent practical and achievable steps to start reforming our legislature and restore our rep-resentative democracy. I urge you to visit my webpage at bobsimpson-mla.ca to learn more. Contact our political party leaders and ask them to support reform in BC politics.
Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Help welcome new CAO
Commit to an agenda
It’s been an amazing trans-formation at the Salvation Army over the past few
years to better serve their clients. Also amazing is just how much positive impact the organization and the church have on our com-munity: well over $1 million in food distributed, and over 9,000 volunteer hours last year.
A positive sign is that intake for services has been down 12 per cent in the first month of 2013. A huge thank you to Captains Clau-
dine and R a n d y Kadona-ga and to all the v o l u n -teers for
the wonderful work you do on be-half of the community.
I’m excited that we will wel-come a new chief administrative officer in March.
I know Don DeGagne will be a great addition to city administra-tion and to the community. I en-courage everyone to help us ex-tend a warm welcome.
A big thank you to Geoff Good-all, who has been our acting CAO for the past few months, and to our staff and residents, for the hard work and patience as we transition to a new CAO.
I’ve visited a few new business-es in the past few weeks, includ-ing Bloom ‘n’ Gifts, Hear Clear, and the newly re-opened Comer Station Pub. It is so inspiring to see people follow their dreams, take the plunge, and open a busi-ness. It’s also a very positive eco-nomic sign for the city.
Congratulations to the Williams Lake Stampeders, who advanced to the playoff semifinals Saturday. It was great to see our old Tim-berwolves billet Drew Rose play strong defence for Lac La Hache.
The city has put together a Q & A to answer questions on the fire protection issue. Check it out on the city’s website at www.wil-liamslake.ca.
Be sure to come down to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to celebrate the first Family Day in B.C. Monday with a free skate, free swim, free hot chocolate and hot dogs, and free skate rentals. The city is grateful to the province for a grant to make this possible. Have an incredible Family Day!
Kerry Cook is the mayor of Wil-liams Lake.
A simple fixThe numbers are unacceptable.Thirty-seven per cent of serious motor vehicle inju-
ries are a result of distracted driving; 30 per cent of car fatalities are a result of distraction.
Why do people continue to text or talk when it’s evi-dent it’s highly dangerous?
Most of us have answered, not wanting to miss the call, vowing to ‘only be a second.’
I myself have done it and it’s not something I’m proud of — especially since the fix is ridiculously easy.
Perhaps we need to look at increasing fines and harsher repercussions — especially for repeat offend-ers.
Since the preliminary statistics released for 2012, RCMP are launching a distracted driving campaign for the month of February.
Don’t want a fine? Pay attention to the road and get yourself a hands-free device — easy peasy.
Since the implementation of legislation banning the
use of handheld devices in January of 2010, police in B.C. issued 105,972 violation tickets for use of hand-held electronic devices.
“In the month of February police across B.C. will be targeting drivers who operate vehicles while us-ing a handheld device,” Cpl. Robert McDonald of BC RCMP Traffic Services said.
“Holding a cell phone in your hand on speaker phone is an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act of us-ing an electronic device while driving and could result in a fine of $167.
“This also applies to leaving the cell phone on your console and typing while stopped in traffic.”
It’s not rocket science to figure out yapping on your phone, or texting while navigating through traffic is an unsafe practice, but more so, it’s selfish.
If the fine doesn’t deter you, think about other people on the road — is that phone call or text really worth it.

Question of the weekStart thinking about electionEditor: I’m afraid it’s that time for all of
us in Williams Lake to start think-ing about who we are going to vote for in the provincial election this spring. It’s not a decision that I’m taking lightly, especially when I think about what the future holds for the younger members of my family.
One thing I would like to say, however, is how appalled I am about the unfair treatment Premier Christy Clark seems to get. Why this is so, I don’t really know. But she does not seem to be getting a fair shake at all.
But then, putting on my sexist
hat, perhaps it’s not very surprising. As a woman myself, and having worked and competed in a man’s world, it once again demonstrates to me that a woman must juggle home, work and perception on a daily ba-sis in a way that her male counter-parts never have to.
And of all the woman who have ever been put in a leadership posi-tion in our country, from Prime Minister to Premier, none has ever been able to demonstrate fully what they could do. They’ve only been treated as a stopgap for the next male leader. For once, I would re-ally like to see what a woman could do with her vision of our future.
That’s why I’ve decided to sup-
port Christy Clark, and one of my main reasons is that she has started on a path that leads her government and our province in a direction I would like to see reach completion. As a daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother, I’ve seen how we’ve gotten to where we are now and I’m anxious for a change.
So, let’s see what Christy Clark can do. Not only do I feel I can trust her, it’s also clear to me that she is genuinely, and truly focused on cre-ating jobs for the younger members of our society, and that is something they can literally take to the bank.

Copper engrained in our lives and societyEditor: As the time for the public con-
sultation draws closer regarding the proposed Taseko Prosperity Cop-per mine we each need to be asking ourselves where do we stand on this very controversial issue?
If we drive any vehicle, live in a dwelling with electric wiring, equip our home with plumbing, or a heat-ing system, we are consumers of copper. If we use a computer or de-vices like hand held iPads or iPods or mobile phones, we are consumers of copper. If we watch television or listen to a radio, or hunt with a rifle, we are consumers of copper.
If we have an all terrain vehicle or a snow machine, we are consumers of copper. If we trap or fish, we are consumers of copper. If we shop at
stores or markets or use any money, we use copper.
Even if we live off the grid using solar energy, water or wind power we use copper. If in our home there is any device that has been manufac-tured, we use copper. If we live with-in any resemblance to community supplied services we are consumers of copper. If we need medical care we are consumers of copper. Should we be against the development of a copper mine when we are so depen-dent upon copper in our lives, here I am reminded of the scripture where Jesus asks of those condemning a woman for her so called sin, “Let he who among you that is without sin cast the first stone.”
Certainly there are those in this world that do not use copper or in fact do not use any manufactured
goods at all and prefer not to come in contact with what is called western society. Most are found in isolated pockets around the world, they have not contaminated their rights to their claim to existence, by receiving gifts from governments or churches or in fact society as whole.
If we can somehow swear off, and turn our backs and abolish the use of copper, maybe we can, as the saying goes, cast the first stone.
Failing that, we need economic development to attract people, espe-cially children to our communities to keep our schools open.
And as a reminder to Chief Joe Al-phonse, create job opportunities, as he says he wants to do.

Consider grave concerns and state positionEditor:
I am publicly writing the Wil-liams Lake City Council with the expectation of receiving a thought-ful response. As you know, the Tsilhqot’in leadership asked city council to reconsider its condi-tional support for the New Pros-perity Mine. We were granted the opportunity to speak informally in November and as a delegation in December, which included speakers Chief Joe Alphonse, Chief Marilyn Baptiste and UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. In addition, an of-ficial letter was also written to city council. Yet, we are left waiting for the courtesy of a response.
Instead, without any further dis-cussion, we understand Williams
Lake City Council has now applied, after the deadline, to participate in the federal panel review as an in-terested party. This seems to move beyond even conditional support for the project; conditional support presumes a certain kind of neutrality until after the panel members have concluded their report.
By requesting to speak at the panel hearings, city council is now actively supporting the project and stating a position. On these grounds, be honest to your Tsilhqot?in neigh-bours and the citizens you serve: please state your position and pres-ent your arguments.
Treat us with a level of respect. As such, consult with us in good faith, as council members implied would happen in the future. Second, pro-
vide a response to the letter issued in December. Third, if city council has chosen to disregard the position of neutrality, justify your position before the panel hearings so your citizens are informed. We ask that you consider the grave concerns the Tsilhqot?in have expressed and re-flect on Joan Kuyek’s latest article Pitfalls or Promises: A risk analysis of the economics of the TML Mine proposal, which relevantly high-lights the cost to the public.
Be honest. Do not waste our time again or ignore us or give us a half-hearted response. Stop playing with our lives. You have a duty now to be honest with everyone.

If things continue to go well, Wil-liams Lake kickboxer Kanyon Glee-son could be competing in mixed martial arts by as early as next fall.
Gleeson, 18, is coming off an im-pressive second-round stoppage over Terrace’s Hector Blackwater Jan. 26 in Dawson Creek in a 160-pound kickboxing matchup. The card, called the Ray House Memorial Fight Card, was sanctioned by MMABC.
Paul Rosborough, his trainer, said it was Gleeson’s first fight since an injury sidelined him in October.
“About eight seconds into a fight in October he sprained his knee,” Rosborough said. “So the fight was waived off and called a no contest. But this was a rematch with the same guy.”
After about a month-and-a-half re-covery Gleeson began training again.
“It probably took the first round, half round, for him to get over what happened in the first fight, when he realized it’s not going to happen again and Kanyon turned it up,” he said. “The referee stopped it 30 seconds into the second round after
[Blackwater] took two standing eight counts.
“The guy was eating clean shots and couldn’t defend himself, so it was a good stoppage.”
Gleeson scored the first standing eight count in the first round prior to the stoppage.
“He sat back a lot more in this fight and kind of realized he’s got nine minutes in there in a three-round fight,” he said.
“He’s realized he doesn’t need to be in such a hurry so he sat back and let the guy make mistakes and made him pay for them every time he did. This was definitely his most cerebral fight.”
Rosborough said it was Gleeson’s jab and strong movement which tilted the tides in his student’s favour.
With the win Gleeson improves to five wins, no losses and one no con-test.
Rosborough and Gleeson, who both work in Tumbler Ridge but live in Williams Lake, have been jug-gling training between the two cit-ies, and in Grand Prairie with mixed martial artist and former Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor
Bill Mahood.“I’ve taken him under my wing
because he’s got so much potential,” Rosborough said. “We’re going to take him the MMA route and he’s been working on some of the ground stuff with Bill [Mahood] up there.
“Probably next fall would be a safe time when he’s really ready and has learned the fundamentals because MMA and kickboxing are really two
completely different sports. Kan-yon’s come leaps and bounds.”
Rosborough said he’s recently hooked up with Five Star Fight League, who hopes to have Gleeson on its upcoming cards.
“They’re a pretty big outfit and they want Kanyon on all their cards in this part of Canada,” he said.
“So, hopefully, we’ll get him on a card in March.”

Bob Harker, (front from left) Emma Davidson, Dana Rook and Julia Rook recently competed at the provincial cadet biathlon championships at Mt. Washington.
Mork wins biathlon bronzeFive army cadets
and three sea cadets from Williams Lake raced in the provincial cadet biathlon champi-onships Feb. 2 at Mt. Washington on Van-couver Island.
Biathlon combines e n d u r a n c e - b a s e d cross-country skiing
and precision rifle shooting to create a challenging sport for competitors.
Williams Lake Ca-det Olund Mork from the 3064 Army Cadets took home a bronze medal in the individual junior male category.
Cadets Joshua Tuck-
er, Matthew Nendick, Dana Rook, Emma Davidson, Julia Rook, Kaitlin Lebrun and Abby-Lynn James fin-ished strong and were happy to take home some great memories, said coach Irene Berns.
“We would like to thank the Williams
Lake Sportsman’s Association, Bull Mount Cross Country Ski Club, the RCMP Charity Golf Tourna-ment, and the Navy League and Army Ca-det League sponsoring committees for their continued support and sponsorship,” she said.
They may be small, but two Williams Lake novice teams came up big Jan. 26-27 at a re-cent Clearwater Novice Hockey Tournament.
The two teams of sev-en- and eight-year-old Williams Lake hockey players finished first and second following the round robin, then met for a gold medal in an all lakecity final.
There, it was the Williams Lake Teal Timberwolves and the Williams Lake Orange Crushers squaring off for the championship. Both teams amassed impressive undefeated records prior to the meeting.
The Teal T-wolves got out to an early lead with Jackson Altwas-ser, Jacob Hufty (2) and Keria Vermeulen all scoring in the first. Kai Hilton scored two goals in the second with Alt-wasser adding assists on both goals. Hufty and Altwasser rounded out the scoring and also completed their hat tricks. Final score in the contest was 9-3.
Player of the game went to Williams Lake Teal T-wolves netmind-er Jaxon Cobb, who head coach Shane Ver-meulen said made some
big saves in the second half of the game.
“Confidence and team play were big parts of the weekend,” he said. “The defence core of Saidra Aubichon-Archie, Quentin Sil-ver, Rylee Pilkington, Andrew Haseldine and Luke Walsh all deserve credit for the win and need some recognition for their efforts.
“Defence wins cham-pionships.”
Orange Crushers coach Ben Pierce said, despite the loss, it was a great tournament for his club, as well. They went undefeated in round robin play with their only loss of the tourna-ment coming to the Teal Timberwolves.
“The kids had a blast,” Pierce said. “Winning three games and getting the trophy was nice, and getting the trophy was pretty special for the kids. That was probably the highlight.”
The Orange Crushers’ path to the final consist-ed of a 7-4 win in game one over Valemount, a 10-8 come-from-behind win over Kamloops and a 4-2 triumph over Clearwater White.
Meanwhile the Teal T-wolves downed Clearwater White 9-0,
with Keira, Hilton (2), Hufty (3) and Altwasser (3) scoring for Williams Lake.
Timberolves’ assis-tant coach Colby Silver credited the game to the defence.
“The defence kept the puck in the offensive zone for most of the game,” he said.
In game two the T-wolves powered over another Clearwater team, 10-1. Scoring for Williams Lake were Altwasser (3), Hufty (3), Aubichon-Archie, Cobb, Hilton and Keira.
Game three saw Wil-liams Lake beat Kam-loops, 10-4. Scoring for the Teal T-wolves were Hufty (2), Altwasser
(3), Charlie Beaulne, Keira (2), Hilton.
Player of the game in game three went to Beaulne, who scored her first of the season.
Assistant coach Jason Hufty said it was de-fence and goaltending
that landed his club in the final.
“For sure defence and key saves are contribut-ing to our success,” he said. “The players are having fun and are ener-gized after a hard week-end before this one.”

■ This year British Columbians will celebrate our first official holiday dedicated to families – B.C. Family Day.We all know B.C. is an incredible place to live – and setting aside a day for families to spend together is an important way we can help keep them strong. It’s also the ideal time get out and discover some of the incredible activities B.C. has to offer!
Special eventsWilliams Lake, Prince George and Kamloops will each play host to free and special events featuring activities for families and kids of all ages.

The city is offering a FREE Skate from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm, FREE Rec Swim 12 pm - 1:30 pm, FREE everyone welcome Swim 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm.Location: Cariboo Memorial Arena.Time Monday, February 11th.Come celebrate BC’s newest holiday by riding with your family at Monday Madness rates for adults and children 12 & under riding for FREE (with the accompaniment of a parent or guardian).Location: Mt. Timothy Ski Hill.Time Monday, February 11th.Caribou Ski is offering 1/2 price rentals on Sat. Feb. 9th for Down Hill Skis, Cross Country Skis and Snowboards to be return on Tuesday February 12th.

Family Day activity zones. Come out and see what’s going on.Location: Tournament Capital Centre , 910 McGill RoadTime: NOTE: this event will take place on Sunday, February 10 from 10:00 am- 4:00 pm
■ Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside.How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science ex-periments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of op-tions if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book.A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s the museum or nature centre, there is a ton of history right in your own backyard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live.Learning can be more than just
reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library!Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

Columneetza junior achievers raise funds for Hot Spot
Columneetza’s Grade 12 Mar-keting Class has just wrapped up their semester-long Junior Achievement Student Venture business.
Sol Vitra became the name of the small business operated by 12 students between September, 2012 and January, 2013.
The company’s product (co-loured sunglasses) was owned and operated by the Marketing Class.
In only a few months of selling, Sol Vitra has managed to sell 653 pairs of sunglasses to students, teachers, support staff, parents, and friends, as well as to a num-
ber of small businesses in Wil-liams Lake. To date, the amount of money that will be donated to the Hot Spot (Youth Unlimited) is approximately $3,700.
The success of Sol Vitra’s sales was made possible by the students creating their own sales tech-niques such as:
1. Several students developed a marketing strategy to pitch the sunglasses to two elementary schools near Columneetza.
2. Some students sold to friends, family and local business-es with which they had connec-tions. Several students offered a bonus “sweetener” of homemade cinnamon buns to those who pur-chased sunglasses from them.
3. Other students teamed up to
promote the product to dental of-fices, eyewear businesses, small convenience stores, the school board office and two addition-al local businesses.
Sol Vitra would like to thank the following companies for their help in reaching our fundraising goal: BMO, CIBC, TD Bank, Red Shred’s, Reforestation, Pan-ago, K&L Trucking, Lake Town Furnishings, Scotia Bank, Wil-liams Lake Credit Union, Save On Foods, West Fraser, Infinity Trucking, Elaine’s Natural Foods and RBC.
With the money raised the kids at the Hot Spot will now have the opportunity to enjoy hockey once again, with some new hockey sticks, a few new pool cues, sev-
eral new desktop computers, plus funds to use for an after school cooking program, etc.
Thank you so much, Williams Lake, for all of your community support with this school project.
The Marketing 12 Junior Achievement Program at Colum-neetza is called “A Company Pro-gram-A Student Venture” and has now raised more than $6,400. in two years.
The Paws-it project last year raised approximately $2,700. while Sol Vitra has raised ap-proximately $3,700. this year in net proceeds for two different non profit organizations in Williams Lake.
Note: Linda Black is the mar-keting teacher at Columneetza.

Students in the Wil-liams Lake area have a unique opportunity to learn about banking, business and budgets thanks to volunteers with Junior Achieve-ment who visit their classrooms.
Williams Lake Sco-tiabank branch man-ager Paul Eves spear-headed the project in Williams Lake several years ago in elementa-ry and high schools and was one of the featured speakers at the Cham-ber of Commerce last week.
At the Chamber lunch Eves talked about a Ju-nior Achievement busi-ness program he has taught in Marketing 12 class at Columneetza, which has garnered na-tional and international attention.
“The kids come up with a something they want to produce and a marketing plan. They deal with the proceeds, organize board meet-ings and elect officers. Basically, they start their own company,” he said.
“Last year we pro-duced ‘Paws It’ brace-lets with expressions and sayings on them. They sold them and raised about $2,500 for the SPCA.
“This year we did Sol Vitra sunglasses with the Grade 12 mar-keting class, raising about $3,600 for Youth for Christ. The JA pro-gram suggests that 50 per cent of earnings to go a charity, but we chose to give it all back to the community.”
He said that other
volunteers from the banking community get involved with the projects, including places like the Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal.
Thanks to the efforts of local volunteers like Eves, Williams Lake is on the map – receiving national and interna-tional JA attention for the Marketing 12 proj-ect.
They also received recognition from the Ministry of Education for innovative, hands-on learning.
“There are so many people who, as adults have no idea what fi-nance, business and budget mean,” he con-tinued. “If you can teach the basics to kids, it’s so much better.”
He said that the first
JA program in Wil-liams Lake was for the Grade 10 planning classes in both pub-lic high schools. “It’s about the economics of staying in school, it talks about what suc-cess looks like for you, about dreaming and about what’s important to you.
“You get kids to think about whether they might want to work with people or with numbers; about their strengths and in-terests,” he added. “It moves into building a resume and marketing themselves and leads into budgeting.”
In three years he has done 15 programs in local schools, and oth-er JA volunteers have done about 20 of them.
He’s also worked
with Grade 6 and 7 students at Kwaleen Elementary, teach-ing them two different programs, ‘Dollars and Sense’ and ‘Our Busi-ness World.’
“Grade 6 and 7 kids are not too young to talk about money and business. These kids have a great deal of in-terest and they ask the best questions. They come up with excel-lent ideas for what kind of business they’d like to start, what they’d like to produce, how they’d market it – they even had to act out a commercial – they
were awesome,” he ex-plained.
“They had a good understanding of mar-ket competition. We did an assembly line to discover whether that might be more ef-ficient than individual assembly. They got it. Two months later we did the ‘Dollars and Sense’ program, and the groundwork was already laid. It’s some-thing new and differ-ent: it stands out for kids and it’s important to them.
“It talks about what money is. So many kids have no idea the
value of a dollar. The session is all about the small business world: everything from own-ership to production and marketing.”
He stated that this is a great way to teach kids to be part of their community, to nurture strong values that are important to kids and to all of us, calling it “hands-on classroom learning.”
People were turned away last year because of a lack of volunteers to do the programs, ac-cording to Eves.
“We need volun-teers. All you need to
volunteer with JA is a desire to give back and to get kids involved. You don’t have to be a banker or a business owner: you just have to do it. The JA course material is very com-plete and easy to use,” he said. “It’s all done for you, and it’s only a two-hour commitment per week.”

Thursday, Jan. 24, volunteers in Williams Lake sold the Wil-liams Lake Tribune by donation for Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.
We raised more than $2,964 in a few short hours.
Volunteers said that everyone was so gener-ous!
The fundraiser is also about raising aware-ness of literacy issues in the Cariboo. Many of our community members struggle with reading and math.
Our goal is to let ev-eryone know that there is help in the commu-
nity. CCPL would like
to thank all the volun-teers who came out on a fairly cold morning to sell the papers, all the businesses in town who helped make this happen, and to the Wil-liams Lake Tribune for their continued support and giving us the news-papers to sell.
The volunteers said it was really fun sell-ing the paper and many have already volun-teered to help sell pa-pers in 2014.
Thank you to every-one who made this pos-sible by buying a paper.
If you would like help to improve your literacy skills please call Janette Moller at
250-392-8161 or send an email to partneras-sistedlearning@gmail.com.

“They call the Cariboo home”SPCA manager enjoys semi-retirement in the lakecity
Bob Simpson, MLA Cariboo North“Where’s Bob?”

Find out what your MLA is up to at
www.bobsimpsonmla.ca
The manager at the BCSPCA Williams Lake Branch, Liz Digh-ton, grew up in Victoria with dogs, cats and horses.
She moved to the Cariboo six years ago with her husband, Rich-ard, and the youngest of their three daughters.
“Victoria’s a beautiful city, but if you have arthritis and it’s rain-ing all the time, you get pretty old, pretty fast. Here we don’t have the dampness so you don’t get the pain. I love it up here. That’s what sold me immediately,” Dighton said.
The Dightons live at Borland Valley, near 150 Mile House, along with two horses, three dogs and one cat.
“For us it’s definitely home.”When they made the move,
their original intent was to semi-retire, and have a “much needed” change of pace, however, Richard was hired as a large truck driver at Mount Polley mine. And after a year with the Cariboo Advisor, Dighton became the manager of the SPCA.
Dighton loves the variety of her job and said she never has the same day twice.
“I love the variety and dealing with the animals, the good and bad of it because there are two sides to the coin. I like making a difference in animals’ lives.”
That’s the fulfilling part of the job, coupled with seeing a change in public attitude toward animals.
Obtaining the animal control contract with the city, after the city pound was closed, has al-lowed the shelter to be renovated and updated.
“Being able to upgrade the air filter system even, has been a log-ical step to ensure we can do our work properly.”
Dighton also enjoys visiting classrooms to make oral presen-tations to children and the added bonus of having those same stu-dents later recognize her at the Stampede or at Canada Day cel-
ebrations in the park.“It’s neat that you make enough
of an impact that they remember you.”
Money is always one of the biggest challenges for the branch.
The SPCA is non-profit and covers the cost of spaying and neutering animals in preparation for adoption.
“We use both local vet hospi-tals. We’ll phone to see who can get them in the quickest because getting them adopted and into a home is the perfect world.”
They also rely on an “excel-lent” network of foster families to help out when needed.
“We will put it out to the com-munity on the radio, newspapers, and we’ll get calls back in min-utes. We have awesome commu-nity support. I can’t say enough about it,” Dighton said.
A few years ago the boiler broke. They put the word out that it was freezing and the branch no longer had a heating system. Within hours people were drop-ping off as many heaters as the
branch could accommodate.“Having that kind of support
makes everything worth while.”Two full-time and three part-
time staff run the branch, with “lots of” volunteers help by walk-ing dogs and cleaning. One shift helps in the morning and another in the evening.
Big projects she would love to realize are a covered dog area in the back so staff no longer has to shovel snow or deal with pouring rain and the mud.
It would provide shade in the summer too.
Fresh gravel on all the walk-ways, and a small area for live-stock are also on her wish list.
“Two weekends ago we had a mini pony brought in by the RCMP and it would have been great to have a real facility for her. She was great, and it all worked out fine, but it would be have been nice.”
One of her favourite animal stories was when the city bylaw officer brought in two chickens.
“We have the dog contract, but
they somehow corralled two hens in the downtown. Only in Wil-liams Lake. The hens promptly gave us two fresh eggs the next morning,” Dighton recalled with a chuckle. “You never know what the day will bring.”
The hens’ origin never materi-alized, no one came forward, and the hens were adopted out.
Dighton said every animal has its own story.
“We had the two dogs that were found in the dumpster recently. We’ve had people bring in litters of puppies they found at the share shed. They will see a box that says ‘puppies,’ and then will go around and scoop up all the puppies and bring them here. It happens regu-larly and kudos to the people who take the time to help.”
Within the context of the BC-SPCA, the Williams Lake branch is governed by the provincial body and that helps the branches to survive.
“Being a non-profit, they go out for the big corporate dona-tions. As local branches we’re encouraged to do that as well. For us here, we do not make enough on our own. If we did not have
the provincial support we would close.”
Local fundraising does mean the funds stay local though.
The branch doesn’t have a board of directors. Instead, it has a community council that helps with a “bit of everything.”
“They help us with fundraising, with getting out into the commu-nity, locally supporting the SPCA and helping spread awareness.”
Presently there are six mem-bers on the council and Dighton said there’s room for more.
“We are always looking for new people and new ideas.”
Dighton has always loved ani-mals and she’s a self-described numbers geek — two characteris-tics she brings to her job.
“It really balances me and gives me a job I really enjoy. I also have the creative side and I enjoy writ-ing stories about the animals that come in.”
In 2012 they received 950 ani-mals, in 2011, just over 1,000. The beginning of 2013 has been “very quiet” for animals, how-ever, soon kitten season will hit.
“The middle of February might be crazy. It’s one of those things.”
Monica Lamb-Yorski photosLiz Dighton says every day on the job as manager at the BCSPCA Williams Lake is an enjoyable one.

Young naturalists join Cornell University back yard bird countThe Williams Lake
Field Naturalists and Young Naturalists Club is inviting fami-lies to join them this month in supporting
Cornell University’s 16th annual backyard bird count.
“This free outdoor event is open to all families and it’ll be an
exciting way to help create a real-time snap-shot of where the birds are around the world,” says nature centre co-ordinator Jenny Noble.
The event takes place Saturday, Feb. 16 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Scout Island Na-ture Centre.
Bird expert Cathy
Koot will lead a bird walk and observe birds at the feeder with par-ticipants and environ-mental educator Juli-anne Trelenberg.
Data collected will be added to Cornell University’s interna-tional checklist.
After the walk par-ticipants will partici-
pate in an origami craft to explore bird beak size and function.
All families are wel-come. Children need to bring an adult.

In 1933, son Ron was born, then came Bob and Doris. Mom and Dad pulled together and things turned out just fi ne. Mom always had a big garden for us kids to look aft er, plus chickens and rabbits to care for. Th ere was always plenty to eat and a nice home to live in. She was the “go to” mother. Dad and Mom were instrumental in developing the mill scene north of town, with the fi rst one all fi r lumber, built in 1953.Mabel is survived by sons Ron and Bob (Beryl), grandsons Morgan Taylor and family, Toby Taylor and family, Brad and Lorrie Taylor and family, Jerry and Lorna Scarff and family, Keith Scarff , Larry and Sandy Scarff and family, and Kevin and Dawn Unrah.

February 4th, 2013. A day that will forever burn in our hearts. Barrie Cline of Kamloops, BC passed away. Barrie was turning 72, as of March 19th. He was a standing member of the Real Estate Board and part of the Re/Max Team since 2003. Barrie was very well known throughout the Interior selling ranches and ranch lands, chewing the fat with all the old-timers, sharing stories, and taking in the scenery while riding the range.He just got back from a fi ve week vacation in Arizona with his wife, Linda. He hauled his horse and rode the hills with family and friends, which was a big tick off his bucket list. He passed away while taking a walk on his property. Th e sun was shining bright that day. He had a great life and a perfect ending for this old cowboy. Way to go Barrie.Barrie will be extremely missed by his loving wife Linda Cline, of 35 years as of January 15th, 2013. He is survived by his children Dana Hinsche, Williams Lake, Jesse Cline, Kamloops, Cathie Cline, Vancouver, Andrea McComb, Vancouver, Karen Larochelle, Vancouver, John Nanson, Vancouver and Daniel Nanson, England; grandchildren Brandon & Matthew Visser, Clayton & Braidey Hinsche, Bryan & Christopher Larochelle, Kimberly & Christine Rowland and sons-in-law Ben Hinsche and Mike McComb.A Funeral Service will take place on February 9th, 2:00 pm
at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Roger Way, Kamloops, BC.

Margaret Elizabeth McDonald, “Betty”, 99, of Salmon Arm and recently of Williams Lake,
died Saturday, February 2, 2013.Betty was born to the late Williams Coglan Willis
and Isabella Willis (Barber), September 30, 1913, in Vancouver. She attended Normal School and took her first teaching post at Buffalo Creek in 1936. Her next
teaching assignment was at Lac La Hache and then at Big Lake where she boarded with the MacDonalds. She married the late Harold McDonald in 1941. They lived at The Coast during the war years and returned
to The Cariboo in 1946. They raised four children Bob, Audrey, Carol and Marion and “adopted” the Shipley
family. Bob and Heather McDonald live in Halifax, Audrey and Mark Deering live in Qualicum Beach, Carol MacLean lives in Sorrento, Marion Rogers
passed away in June 2009, Harold Shipley passed away in March 2007 and Shirley Shipley lives in
Edmonton. Betty is fondly remembered by 13 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and many,
many nieces, nephews and cousins.Betty was accustomed only to the conveniences of city life until “The Cariboo” countrified her. She adapted quickly and thoroughly to the rigors of wood stoves,
naphtha-gas lighting and outdoors “plumbing”; driven by a feisty spirit and led by a buoyant sense
of humour she conquered all.A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 pm
Thursday, February 7 in the River of Life Community Church, 2405 Centennial Drive, Blind Bay, BC
(exit Fairway Hills Road between Sorrento and Salmon Arm).
