williams lake tribune, march 19, 2013

An embracing our identity fo-rum held in Williams Lake March 12 challenged participants to think about what makes a com-munity inclusive — inclusive for individuals and for the commu-nity as a whole.

PeerNetBC’s executive direc-tor Iris Yong led the forum, en-gaging participants in a series of exercises and discussions.

At one point she placed a small plastic elephant on the floor in the middle of the room.

“That represents the elephant in the room,” Yong said. “The hid-den agendas, secrets, things that inhibit us from creating shared understanding.”

Yong challenged participants to notice who has the power in the room and in the community.

“There are three types of pow-

er,” she said. “Personal, posi-tional and overarching or system-atic.”

There are layers of power, and situations people have no control over. And power is often defined by media, space, and health.

One of the exercises involved a coloured dot on the cheek of each person in the room.

Participants closed their eyes, had a dot placed on their right or left cheek, and then were asked to open their eyes and form into groups without talking.

Most people grouped them-selves by one of the four colours, although two people went further and grouped themselves accord-ing to the fact their blue dots were on the same side of their faces.

Yong said in other situations people grouped themselves as a rainbow, ensuring each group had one of each colour. Some people like the Williams Lake

participants grouped themselves according to the what side of the cheek the dots were on.

“There was a group of teenag-ers that didn’t move from their places. When I asked how they’d grouped themselves, one brave soul answered ‘by laziness’.”

From there participants broke up into small groups to discuss one word in what Yong termed the “staircase to oppression.”

Words such as experiences, stereotype, prejudice, discrimina-tion and privilege were defined by the groups.

Yong suggested there is no such thing as a “good stereotype” because while they may sound good, they are always a general-ization.

Homelessness worker Wayne Lucier recalled his childhood in a rural Metis town in Manitoba.

He attended a grades 1 - 9 school and did not realize he was

Metis until that small school shut down and he went to a larger school.

“The teacher told me I was probably going to turn out like all the rest of us. I didn’t even know what she meant,” Lucier said.

Yong is a Chinese Canadian and grew up with the stereo-type that “all Asians are good at math.”

She wasn’t good at math, she said. On top of that, people are never sure of her ethnicity to be-gin with.

“I’m asked if I’m First Nations, Filipino or Asian all the time,” she said.

The Fraser Basin Council host-ed the forum and plans to use the information generated by partici-pants for planning a diversity mu-ral project.

Around 30 people attended the forum, ranging from elementary school age to retired.

Pacific salmonnow provincial emblem in B.C.

The Pacific salmon has been des-ignated the official provincial fish emblem to recognize their high eco-logical, cultural and economic sig-nificance to British Columbians.

“With the epic migration of Pa-cific salmon from B.C.’s rivers and streams to the ocean and back, there is no symbol more iconic of British Columbia,” said Environment Min-ister Terry Lake Saturday.

“Not only are Pacific salmon in-tegral to the culture, well-being and livelihood of B.C.’s First Nations, they are often seen as indicators of overall ecosystem and wildlife health, and important to environ-mental sustainability,” Lake said.

Pacific salmon are also a signifi-cant economic driver in B.C. due to commercial and recreational fisher-ies, Lake added.

Gregg Gaylord new principal of combined secondary school

Columneetza Sec-ondary School prin-cipal Gregg Gaylord will become princi-pal of the new com-bined Williams Lake/Columneetza second-ary school on two campuses effective April 1.

“As the district con-tinues to experience substantial changes, we are confident that Mr. Gaylord will pro-vide the leadership necessary to work with a team of vice-principals, teachers, support staff, student leaders, and parents in forming the new secondary school in Williams Lake,” said Superintendent of

Schools Mark Thies-sen in announcing the appointment today, March 14.

“Congra tu la t ions are extended to Gregg on his appointment.”

Gaylord’s appoint-ment as principal of the new amalgamated Williams Lake and Columneetza second-ary school will be ef-fective April 1.

Gaylord has been employed with the school district since 1991.

Prior to this ap-pointment, Gaylord has served as principal at Columneetza and Williams Lake sec-ondary schools; vice-principal at Colum-

neetza; and has taught at Kwaleen Elemen-tary, Williams Lake

Junior Secondary, and Columneetza Second-ary.

Marie Sharpe intersection gets four-way stop

Fatal collision north of Quesnel Friday

The City of Williams Lake would like to ad-vise residents that the intersection of Cameron Street and Second Av-enue near Marie Sharpe Elementary School was changed from a two-way stop to a four-way stop, Monday morning, March 18.

Motorists are advised to note the change and take extra care when travelling through this area.

Williams Lake city council decided to make the change in February after receiving concerns over the number of ac-cidents at the intersec-tion, which is located in a school zone.

A four-way stop will also reduce the number of incidents of vehicles travelling at high speeds in the area.

A city review of mo-tor vehicle crash data between 2007 and 2011

found there have been five reported motor ve-hicle accidents at the intersection of Second Avenue and Cameron Street during that time.

As a result of the change, the pedestrian activated flashing lights at the crosswalk on Sec-ond Avenue will be re-moved and relocated to South Lakeside Drive as part of the 2013 South Lakeside Drive recon-struction project.

An individual died in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 97 just south of Ten Mile Lake on Friday, March 15, reported Cpl. M.E. (Madonna) Saun-derson Unit Commander Prince George Regional Provincial Traffic Ser-vices.

The crash happened at 9:18 a.m. Upon arriv-ing on scene, emergency service personnel found one of the passengers in the vehicle was deceased, RCMP say.

“Although it is early in the investigation, police

have determined that a tow truck working in the area on an unrelated mat-ter, resulted in the south bound traffic coming to a stop,” Saunderson said.

“One of the vehicles in this line of south bound traffic pulled out into the north bound lane in an at-tempt to continue south. This resulted in a head on collision with a north bound pickup. A passen-ger in the southbound vehicle succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash.”

At this time causal fac-

tors are not known. Cari-boo Chilcotin Traffic, North District Collision Analyst, and the B.C., Coroners Service con-tinue to investigate.

The highway was closed to all traffic in both directions while the accident scene was being investigated and cleared.

Weather and road con-ditions were less than desirable. The RCMP are asking anyone who may have witnessed the acci-dent or has information about the incident to call the RCMP .

NEW!!!

A phone survey some recipients describe as “strange” has recently surfaced in the Cariboo.

The caller begins by asking if people want to do a survey about Fish Lake, the lake at the heart of the New Prosperity Mine Project in the Chil-cotin.

Krista Liebe of Wil-liams Lake received the call and said the ques-tions were odd.

“They asked how I valued the Chamber of Commerce,” Liebe told the Tribune Fri-day. “They asked me to rate Williams Lake city council, the mayor, Taseko Mines Ltd. as an employer, the Council of Canadians, environ-

mentalists, environmen-tal groups and university professors.”

One of the most dis-turbing aspects was be-ing asked to rate a former Tsilhqot’in chief on a scale of one to 10.

“I was aghast because that’s really personal so I asked where he was calling from. He told me from Ontario and said he didn’t know the former

chief or anything, he was just doing the survey.”

Other than surveys that identify a certain politician or political candidate, Liebe has nev-er received a survey ask-ing her what she thought about a certain person.

The caller also asked what she thought of First Nations in the Chilcotin receiving money from the government to help

fight a rights and title case.

“Because it was so weird, I felt something wasn’t right and I feel other people need to know about it,” Liebe said.

Liebe’s phone rang at home a few different times before she actually answered the survey.

On the first few calls there was dead air on the

other end, but finally on the fourth call she man-aged to wait long enough to catch someone on the other end of the line.

Once she got off the phone she started think-ing about the survey and checked the number on her phone, which was 250-980-3976.

She called it and an answering machine said she’d called Campaign

Research in Ottawa.Since receiving the

call and talking about it, Liebe’s heard of half a dozen others in the com-munity receiving the same survey call.

“I do think it’s very important this gets out there,” Liebe said.

The Tribune’s call to Campaign Research was not returned by press time.

Williams Lake turned 84 as an incorporated city on March 15 with help from the Museum of the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Museum members hosted a tea assisted by Williams Lake Stampede royalty contestants.

Before helping cut the birthday cake, Acting Mayor Danica Hughes thanked the museum and its volunteers and said wishes are usually made on birthdays.

“My wish for Williams Lake is that we will al-ways be mindful of our roots and our heritage and that in Williams Lake there would be a balance between the past and the present,” Hughes said. “That Williams Lake would be a place of ref-

uge and refreshment and that we would be set apart from other communities in that we would stay together and our commu-nity spirit would remain strong.”

Hughes said council is honoured to serve the community.

Museum president Sheila Wyse encouraged people to become mem-bers of the museum.

“We welcome mem-berships because it helps out the museum and demonstrates the com-munity’s support,” she said.

Cariboo Chilcotin Lib-eral MLA Donna Barnett congratulated the city on its birthday and presented the city with a birthday certificate from the pro-vincial government.

Afterwards Barnett said she would also be

sending the museum a certificate recogniz-ing the province’s first Cowboy Heritage Week March 3 to 10, recog-nizing that the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin hosts the B.C. Cowboy Hall of Fame.

“It’s the first time in the history of B.C. there’s been a Cowboy Heritage Week proclaimed,” Bar-nett said.

Wyse also acknowl-edged longstanding vol-unteer Donna Smith with a lifetime membership to the museum.

“Donna has been volunteering for many years,” Wyse said. “She comes faithfully once, sometimes twice a week, to work at the museum,” Wyse said. “We so appre-ciate her help.”

Smith said she was honoured by the gesture.

Lakecity resident ‘aghast’ at strange phone survey questions

Council lobbies to include prolific offender status in trial process

Williams Lake city council is seeking sup-port for a resolution that would allow judges to consider prolific offender status of individuals dur-ing prosecution.

Williams Lake experi-ences a high number of prolific offenders that are responsible for the majority of crime and for the high rates of crime in our community, the city’s resolution reads.

“The criminal justice system does not allow judges to consider previ-ous convictions in mak-ing judgements for an individual charge which results in multiple inci-dents of crime perpetu-ated by the same offender being treated as separate cases,” the resolution continues.

The resolution has been forwarded for de-bate at the North Central Government Association meeting coming up in Quesnel May 1 to 3.

For years the city has broached the subject with the minister of justice and attorney general in the past, Mayor Kerry Cook said in addressing the resolution.

“This has been a num-ber one topic, reducing our crime and the chal-lenge we have with pro-lific offenders has been an ongoing discussion for years,” Cook said. “In Williams Lake we have a small number of people who commit the majority of the crime.” Cook sug-

gested change is impor-tant to consider during the prosecution stage, not just the sentencing stage.

“In the sentencing stage we recognize that it doesn’t seem to be work-ing,” Cook said.

Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond told the Tribune it’s important to note that the court can and does take a person’s record and character into account when determining an ap-propriate sentence, after an accused has been con-

victed.“Our criminal jus-

tice system is built on a basic principle that the prosecution is not al-lowed to prove an ac-cused has committed an offence by introducing evidence that they are a person of bad charac-ter and someone who is in the habit of commit-ting crimes,” Bond said. “In accordance with this principle, it is appropriate that someone’s previous record be considered at sentencing and generally

not before.”A special response to

the problem of chronic or prolific offenders has been the Province’s Pro-lific Offender Manage-ment Pilot Project that showed a 40 per cent re-duction in offender recid-ivism including reduc-tions in property crime, violent offences and drug and alcohol offences.

“In fact, inmates in-creased their use of physical health services, housing and other social services, while having

fewer negative police contacts and spent less time in custody. The co-ordination and collabora-tion amongst agencies as a result of the POM pilot, is continuing in order to manage these offenders in communities across B.C. Criminal law re-form, including chang-ing the rules of evidence, falls within the author-ity of the federal govern-ment,” Bond added.

See THREEPage A4

The resolution is one of three council endorsed for consider-ation at the 2013 NCL-GA convention.

A second resolution calls for the restric-tion of sale and access to bear spray and ma-chetes because they are being used as weapons in Williams Lake.

Speaking from his Kamloops store, Todd Flodstrom, owner and manager of Surplus Herby’s, said bear spray and machete sales are gauged in his stores, including the one in Williams Lake.

“We make sure that they are behind the counter so somebody has to come up and ac-tually talk to somebody about them. It’s not the thing to just sell it to anybody.”

With bear spray,

there’s a special form that has to be filled out by the consumer so there’s tracking.

“Like a fishing li-cense, the customer has to put out their name and identification. It’s restricted,” he said.

There’s no paper to fill out for purchasing machetes, but Flod-strom said they aren’t being sold to kids.

People have to be 19 and over and sales are kept “tight.”

Under the Pest Con-trols Products Act the sale of bear spray in Canada is only per-mitted by authorized vendors who maintain proper sales records.

These vendors must gather certain infor-mation including the purchaser’s name and address, the amount purchased and a signed Notice to Purchaser Agreement (NPA). This NPA outlines the

legal uses of bear spray and contains a liability warning.

It is also important to note that it is illegal to sell bear spray to any-one under the age of 18 or to anyone not will-ing to sign the agree-ment.

The third resolution calls for legislation re-quiring consumer la-belling of genetically modified foods.

Coun. Geoff Bour-don put the GMO reso-lution forward because mandatory food label-ling can “jump start” the public’s awareness of nutrition and health.

“From my own per-sonal studies there seems to be quite a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about food and nutri-tion labelling and this would be a very good start,” Bourdon said.

One of the concerns from people in the

food growing industry is that a lot of geneti-cally modified plants are becoming stronger than the natural plants and are starting to take over.

“There are predic-

tions at this point there are no more natu-ral flax seeds in the world,” he said, adding many natural plants are being taken over and destroyed in the face of profit and marketing.

Higher fines recommended for parking infractions

Parking spaces in Williams Lake’s down town continue to be a hot commodity, says restaurant owner George Cheung.

Cheung is con-vinced the fact bylaw officers are chalk-marking tires parked in two-hour zones is not working.

“Unless you give your bylaw officers the right tool to do their job or change the bylaw to raise the fine, people don’t care,” Cheung said.

“A $25 ticket is nothing. If you made it a $100 fine and you hurt their pock-ets maybe people will start to think.”

City bylaw officer Grant Martin said en-forcement is tough.

“We can only do what we can legally do.”

Last month Cheung wrote a letter to the editor suggesting residents are abusing two-hour parking lim-its on Second Avenue.

“The street is zoned for two-hour park-ing, however, most of the people parking on this street park there for the entire day,” he stated in the letter.

“These people are the employees and owners of various businesses along this street.”

Cheung said he wrote about Second Avenue because that’s the area of town he sees, yet it’s a concern for all of downtown.

There are presently five free parking lots within the downtown core and spots avail-able to rent for $20 a

month.“People aren’t using

them,” Cheung said. “Instead they play this game. Ever since I wrote my letter to the editor many people responded that they appreciated the letter and that it was great.”

The intent is not to pick on people, but there has to be a change of mindset, he suggested.

“If people see some-one is parking down-town all day, take down the license num-ber and call city hall. I don’t know all the solutions, but if we all do our little part it will get better.”

Cheung’s staff is

parking in one of the free parking lots and walking to work. He said he’s talked to some people and they mention being afraid to walk back to a park-ing lot when it’s dark, but wonders if some-how people can ar-range to walk in pairs

if they are afraid.“It’s about making

spaces available to customers and visi-tors. If people cannot find a parking space nearby they are going to leave to shop away from downtown,” he added.

Martin agreed, add-ing business owners and employees are de-feating themselves if they occupy available parking spaces.

“If people are com-ing downtown for an appointment, even, they need parking spaces too.”

The Williams Lake Central Business Im-provement Area As-sociation’s directors are meeting with the bylaw office Thursday about parking.

Executive Director Judy O’Neill echoed Cheung saying it’s about educating the public.

“We want to work together with busi-nesses,” she said.

“We don’t want to take a club and clob-ber anybody because sometimes there are extenuating circum-stances.”

When the BIA went

out and talked with business owners and employees it was apparent that some people move their ve-hicles around when it gets closer to night be-cause they don’t want to go into back alleys.

“Some of the busi-ness owners will give us all the reasons they don’t want to park somewhere but then expect their customers to park there,” O’Neill pointed out.

“If you think it’s unsafe to walk there, do you think your cus-tomers are going to?”

The BIA has been working with the city to improve lighting in parking lots and to have more of them paved so people are not stepping out of cars into the mud.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoWilliams Lake business owner George Cheung thinks parking fines need to be increased in the downtown core.

Fish Lake. The questions in this kind of telephone survey are often slanted but some asked in this one were tacky. Like the one asking to evaluate an individual. All in all the survey left some of us shaking our heads.

We were asked to rate Taseko Mines Ltd. as an employer. All I know is that the Gibraltar union voted 99

per cent to strike, t h e n d i d n ’ t have to.

H o w do you rate that?

Being nosey, I called the survey number back (usually surveys come from “unknown” callers.) “Cam-paign Research” answered. I Googled and found one listing for a Campaign Research — if it’s the same one — as a “Tory Pollster censured for misleading phone calls against a Liberal MP.” Another had that company defending.

Whatever, I’d like to know who dreamed up the questions. In my opinion, whoever paid for the poll should get their money back.

***The province is planning to give

$100,000 to doctors who will work in rural communities for three years. It seems to be aimed at “foreign” doctors. What about making that kind of deal with B.C. students to encourage them to go to medical school?

***The federal government approved

a recent live “reality” TV documen-tary that showed border guards re-moving illegal immigrants from a construction site. I don’t agree with illegal or temporary foreign work-ers taking jobs that can be done by Canadians, but what about the com-panies that employ these workers? Do they face any consequences from what must be an illegal act?

***Is it not ironic that the Pacific

Salmon has been chosen B.C.’s of-ficial fish just when the species is being threatened on all sides by fish farms, run of the river hydro proj-ects, loss of habitat, climate change, disease etc, etc?

Last week, our government passed Bill 18, which al-lows nurses to work to-

gether under the same bargaining structure. Licensed Practical Nurs-es had previously voted to change their union representation and join Registered Nurses in the B.C. Nurses Union, and Bill 18 is com-pletely in line with their wishes. Interestingly, the NDP, which says it supports unions and the rights of workers, voted against the bill;

A d r i a n Dix has also said in the past he w o u l d consider t a k i n g

away the unions’ secret ballot, which would remove a fundamen-tal democratic right that everyone should be entitled to.

At the moment, Licensed Prac-tical Nurses, or LPNs, are in a separate bargaining structure than Registered Nurses, or RNs. While RNs get their own nurse-specific bargaining association, LPNs are lumped together with many other healthcare professionals. This doesn’t really make sense, since at the end of the day, both RNs and LPNs are nurses. What Bill 18 does is expand the official defini-tion of nurse to include LPNs, and puts LPNs together in the same bargaining structure as RNs. LPNs had a vote on this and the major-ity voted in favour of joining RNs in the B.C. Nurses Union, and this legislation does exactly that.

Not only is this legislation in line with what nurses want, it also makes a lot of sense from a practi-cal standpoint. A single agreement that covers all nurses, regard-less of whether they are LPNs or RNs, will have a lot of potential benefits. It also means that LPNs will be able to play a bigger role in nursing. Our government real-izes that it must consult with both nurses and with other stakeholder groups before these changes are made, and it will certainly do so. However, LPNs have democrati-cally decided that they want to join the B.C. Nurses Union, and this legislation supports their de-cision. This is in contrast to the NDP, which voted against the bill even though it is what nurses want.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Another bungled Liberal planWooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the polit-

ical world – especially in the scrappy mud-wrestling that defines election campaigns and often politics in general in B.C.

Over the past few decades, ethnic communities have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of individual voting, and fielding their own representatives.

Winning favour in these communities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or bolster a party’s fortunes.

And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salva-tion from the political quagmire in which they find themselves.

Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was fumbled.

What was conceived as an ethnic outreach effort

turned into another embarrassment, with distasteful references to “quick wins” via government apolo-gies to ethnic communities for historical wrongs.

Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strate-gists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP – and thus the media, and thus the public – ever to hear about this ill-considered plan. Of course, that’s what hap-pened, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apologizing of her own.

It seems the Liberals learned little from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayer-funded com-puters and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites.

Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the mistakes of her team. It may well be that she won’t have to for much longer.

Doubts about mine’s viabilityEditor:

As a person who has previously worked in the mining industry in the NWT for 15 years, I have se-rious doubts about the economic viability of Taseko Minesʼ New Prosperity copper-gold proposal at Fish Lake.

The major investor in this proj-ect, Franco Nevada, is a royalty investment company that makes large returns on investments and options. They have a loan agree-ment with Taseko whereby Fran-co Nevada would be in return for 22 per cent of the gold the mine produces at a fixed price of U.S.

$400 per ounce. Any difference between this

price and the market price of gold would go to paying off the $350 million loan (The construction costs were projected at $1.3 bil-lion in 2010.)

It is not apparent that Tasekoʼs feasibility study reflects this re-duced income from the fixed price for 22 per cent of the gold going to Franco Nevada.

According to Taseko’s feasibil-ity study, the mine would produce just 0.41 gram-per-tonne of gold, which is considered a very low grade ore body. Franco Nevada chair Pierre Lassonde, in an inter-

view on Business News Network, stated that companies who pursue mines with an ore body of less than 0.5 gram-per-tonne of gold may find it hard to make money or generate growth.

The ore grade of the copper at the site is also very low at 0.23 per cent. This is one of the lowest grade deposits in the world. It is wholly dependent on high copper prices to survive, not the discov-ery of more ore.

When the price or grade of ore falls and the revenues cease, the operator and its investors, such as the provincial govern-ment, are the losers. However,

Mr. Lassondeʼs company — the royalty holder — would continue to make profits on royalties and options based on the minerals ex-tracted, even when the mine actu-ally loses money.

In the companyʼs eagerness to have this project approved and its recently heightened strategy of persuasion and influence at the local level, it is even more cru-cial that local residents are made aware of the substandard eco-nomic realities of a mine at this location.

Gov’t seems to not care about rural areas

Editor:

The Liberals have a new vote gathering release.

The Liberals announced a se-niors advocate office or at least want to create it.

This won’t happen before the election which should make it defunct.

While seniors do struggle often with increasing health care pre-miums, distant treatment centres, drug costs, a bird’s nest of regu-lations and procedures which are not senior friendly, perhaps we need to ask a few questions.

There is a seniors’ advocate in Williams Lake now and the op-eration struggles mightily under a volunteer/no funding weight.

The lady in charge of this noble effort has, with her other volun-teers, been hard at work in Wil-liams Lake for nine years.

The recent visit from seniors minister Ralph Sultan showed how little the government seems to care about rural areas.

Sultan admitted he had no idea on what was needed at the hospi-tal or what were the issues.

This Seniors Minister seems very ineffective and yet an elec-tion surprise is announced to sway voters.

He did say we were on a list for help but not the first list.

According to Sultan there are many communities that are not “age friendly,” meaning seniors and I wonder why, if so, the se-niors minister hasn’t done any-thing about that.

Unfortunately the Liberals are using seniors needs and concerns to try to pry a vote from you.

Proposing an “office” that can’t be initiated before the elec-tion is really a low approach.

Humanity alive and well in B.C.Editor:

On Saturday Feb. 9 I was driv-ing from Salmon Arm to Smithers to visit my daughter. Just south of 150 Mile House, on slushy roads, I lost control of my car and smashed into a huge boulder in the ditch on the other side of the highway.

Fortunately, my car went in backwards and I was able to walk away without a scratch.

While I waited for the tow truck to arrive, numerous people stopped to ask if I needed assis-tance, some even offering to wait

with me and share the warmth of their vehicles. That day and for several days to come I would feel the outpouring of kindness, con-cern and support of total strangers.

I have compiled a list of the people I would like to acknowl-edge.

All the motorists who stopped — your thoughtfulness and gener-osity was appreciated.

BCAA — I’m sorry that I did not get the name of the woman who answered my call but her first concern was for my health and safety.

Lawrence — the tow truck

driver (and his dad) from Bee Jay Towing in Williams Lake whose friendly conversation kept me calm in the aftermath of my ac-cident.

Ken and all his staff at Bee Jay Towing who gave me helpful ad-vice and transportation to the rent-al car agency.

Denise at National Car Rental who efficiently got me into a rent-al so I could continue my trip.

Keith at Chap’s Auto Body in Williams Lake for his humour, ad-vice and assistance.

Bill at ICBC in Williams Lake for his understanding, knowledge

and guidance.Kemi at ICBC in Salmon Arm

without whose first-rate customer service, professionalism, and dili-gence I would have been lost.

And finally Tim at Vernon Toy-ota whose excellent salesmanship put me into the precise vehicle for my needs.

Although my car did not fare as well as me and was written off I am thankful to all those respon-sible for allowing me to enjoy the remainder of my vacation.

Area based tenures will cause more hardship than good for outfitting industry

Editor:

I am demanding that Mr. Thom-son remove section 24 from Bill 8. Allowing the forest licensees to have area-based tenures will only cause more hardship for an already crippled Guide Outfitting Industry.

Area Based Tenures means gated roads, huge disagreements between the sawmills and other tenure holders over access to the backcountry, not to mention what it will do to all British Columbi-ans who use the backcountry for fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, camping and all the other uses we as residents have a right to use.

Selling out to the logging com-panies is just wrong.

Do you want this for your grand-children, I am sure the residents of British Columbia don’t.

Mr. Thomson, you know that other than the discussion initiated by the timber committee, that there would have been no discussion about area-based tenures at all if Mr. Rustad and a few others had not asked those individuals who were presenting in front of the committee.

If you think this is false then it is plain and simple that you did not follow the transcripts of the meet-ings the timber committee had in

the communities in the north. It will be made public that this whole thing is another Liberal scam.

I am asking that you put politics aside for once and do what is right and drop this, and I am sending the attached letter to everyone I know and every news agency in B.C. and the U.S. to ensure that the people of B.C. are aware that you are sell-ing out British Columbia.

Your recent decision to put 50 per cent of the guide outfitters out of business with your approval of the New Allocation Policy was enough, why don’t you just call it a day and allow those able to survive the quota cuts do an honest busi-

ness. Enough of the back room poli-

tics you and the rest of the Liberal Party and your photo op leader Christy Clark have been guilty of, The Liberal Party will get what is coming to them in the next elec-tion, and maybe you will under-stand what it is like to have your livelihoods taken away by those you trusted.

Stop section 24, Bill 8. And stop killing our forests, our livelihoods and our future.

For the second time in franchise history the Williams Lake Stamped-ers are Coy Cup champions.

Williams Lake, after losing in their opening game of the tournament 6-2 last Tuesday to the host Kitimat Ice Demons, exacted some revenge in the championship game Saturday, winning 5-1 over the Ice Demons to become the best senior men’s AA hockey club in the province.

Marko Zurak, president of the Williams Lake Stampeders, said it was the most dominating perfor-mance he’s seen from the team all year.

“Our guys were so pumped for that game before they were saying how there’s just no way they were going to lose it,” he said.

“Every man on our bench was a total MVP that game. It wasn’t an individual thing, it was a whole team game.”

Dylan Richardson led the way for the Stampeders with two goals, while David Gore, Francis Johnson and Nathan Zurak also found the twine for Williams Lake.

Jeff Mildenberger was the lone goal scorer for Kitimat.

Marko said Williams Lake’s game plan worked to perfection as the Ice

Demons were never able to see any open ice, or given much room to work with the puck.

“We basically tried to make them go to the outside because their game is running everything down the mid-dle,” he said.

“It was a great defensive effort. We didn’t let their forwards get an opportunity to be open, and in their zone their defence didn’t have time to turn around to make a play.”

Williams Lake netminder Justin Foote earned the win between the pipes, while Johnson was awarded

Coy Cup MVP following the con-test.

The Stampeders finished the Coy Cup with a four win, one loss record.

They advanced to Saturday’s final by edging the Terrace River Kings, 5-4, following wins over the Ques-nel Kangaroos and the River Kings earlier in the tournament.

Saturday’s final at the Tamitik Arena was estimated to have some-where near 1,000 fans in attendance.

The Stampeders’ first Coy Cup championship came during the 2009 season.

“We were thrilled to win that first one, but this one here, was nice,” Marko said. “It wouldn’t have mat-tered who we played in that last game. It was easily the best game we played all year.”

The Coy Cup was donated to BC Hockey by Colonel Coy of the 50th Gordon Highlanders (now the 16th Scottish) of Victoria. It is emblemat-ic of the Senior AA Amateur Hockey Championship of B.C.

The first Coy Cup was awarded to the Enderby Hockey Club in the 1922/23 season.

Sonia Conrod, presi-dent and head coach of the Williams Lake Wrestling Club, said competing at the re-cent 2013 BC Wres-tling Championships was a remarkable ex-perience for the club’s athletes.

Six members of the WLWC travelled to Duncan from Feb. 28 to March 1 for pro-vincials, grappling to multiple solid finishes.

“The experience was awesome for the kids, and also a big eye opener for what’s to come in their wres-tling careers,” Sonia said. “The level of skill and competition was incredible. These athletes are among the best of the best in B.C. in the sport of wres-tling.

“I’m very proud of all the kids. They represented Wil-liams Lake with great pride and are all very dedicated athletes. Watching them grow throughout the season has been amazing.”

All of the weight classes at provincials were a double knock-out, bracket format.

On the girls’ side Makaela Lemon, in the 75kg class, picked up a fourth-place podium finish, in an 11-com-petitor division. Top six at provincials made the podium, and won medals. 100 Mile House’s Tianna Dyks-tra, in the 43kg class,

fought to a silver med-al.

“It was pretty in-tense competition as it was spotlighted in the centre of the arena,” Sonia said.

Haleigh Stubitch, in the 51kg weight class, fought amongst 17 other athletes.

“She fought hard, but despite her great efforts she did not make the top six podi-um finish,” Sonia said.

Sonia said the boys side of the tournament was extremely com-petitive.

Peter Fayowski, in the 110kg weight class, battled amongst 22 other athletes in his division.

Braden Conrod, grappling against 36

other athletes in the 54kg division, also missed a top-six po-dium finish.

“It was an intense division,” Sonia said. “The skill level was amazing to watch. Al-though he did not place top six he wrestled like a champion.”

Team members Dan-ielle Schultz and Kerry Normand also attended but were sidelined with injuries.

“All the kids were incredible,” Sonia said.

“They pulled to-gether as a team and cheered everyone on. In wrestling we cheer everyone on — even our competition. It’s an incredible sport-ing community, one of

few sports where the competition can create lasting friendships.

“We’re exciting for

the upcoming season and look forward to seeing some new faces on the mat.”

Judo club medals at Prince George tourneyFive members of the

Williams Lake Judo Club marched away from a judo junior tournament in Prince George on March 9-10 with some solid results.

Anthony DiMarco went a perfect four wins and no losses to win a gold medal in just his second tournament.

Rudy Klaue picked up

one win and two losses for bronze in his divi-sion.

“That should help him [Klaue] make the B.C. team to get to the Canadian nationals in Vancouver in July in the under 18 age group and under 81-kilogram divi-sion,” said WLJC Sen-sei Jeff DiMarco.

Frankie Munroe and

Steven Dutil, both com-peting in the same divi-sion, lost two fights a piece.

“It was the first tour-nament for both of them and they were a bit ner-vous to start, but they fought well for their first time out,” he said.

Another judoka, Brenden Jacques, who DiMarco said hasn’t

competed at a tourna-ment in a couple of years, also lost both his fights.

“He hasn’t been in a tournament for a cou-ple of years and was a bit rusty,” he said. “He

looked much better in his second fight, but came up short.”

There was also a train-ing camp held on top of the tournament that was well attended by athletes from around B.C.

Thirteen members of the Williams Lake Gymnastics Club joined upwards of 800 competitors March 8-10 for the Christy Fraser Memorial Invi-tational, hosted at the Langley Events Cen-tre.

Mike Stinson, head coach of the WLGC, said it’s one of the big-ger meets his club will attend all year, and added it’s also one of the most nerve wrack-ing, especially for his younger competitors.

“It was nerve wrack-ing at first but they did really well,” he said. “They overcame their fears.”

Ashia Chutskoff and Gabrielle Gracia, both competing for the first time at the meet, said they thought they im-proved upon their last outings.

“It was OK but very big,” Chutskoff, who was competing in the Provincial 2 Tyro divi-sion, said.

“I felt I did better at this meet than the last meet.”

Gracia, in the Pro-vincial One Argo di-vision, said her floor routine was her best.

“I did better and kept my legs straighter,” she said.

Gracia placed 17th in vault, 17th in un-even bars, 20th on beam and 16th on floor for a 15th-place all around finish.

Chutskoff picked up a 26th-place all around

result.For Chloe Lutters

and Bjorn Hunt, it was their second year com-peting at the meet.

Chloe, in the P2 Tyro division, flipped to a ninth-place vault finish and a 13th-place uneven bar event, combining for an 18th-place overall result.

Bjorn, in the P1 Male category, won a bronze medal on floor, a bronze medal on pommel horse, a sil-ver medal on rings, a gold-medal on vault, a silver medal on hori-zontal bar and an all-around silver.

“Vault was my best, by a long shot,” Bjorn said.

“I was a lot tighter than I’d been in the past.”

Thea Lutters, in the P1 Argo 2004 divi-sion, finished 12th all around. Abayah Hunt, in the P1 Argo 2003 class, finished 22nd all around.

In P2 Tyro, Alyssa Suderman finished 24th overall.

Hunter Jariett, in P1 Novice, finished with a ninth-place all around result after picking up fifth in vault, ninth on uneven bars, eighth on beam and 10th on floor.

Carson Coldwell, in the same division, fin-ished 6th overall after claiming 9th on vault, sixth on bars, fifth on beam and eighth on floor.

In the P2 Novice category, Samantha McKee took 15th all around — her best a

10th-place finish on vault — while Michae-la Newberry, in the same division, finished 19th all around.

In P3 Male Under 13 Joseph Brinoni picked up 17th all around.

“They all overcame some big boundaries and performed really well.”

Three vie for Stampede Queen 2013/14

Miss Rotary Club of Williams LakeHi everyone, My name is Rachel Abrahamse, Miss Day-

break Rotary. I am really excited to be a contestant for the

2013 Williams Lake Stampede Queen. I am 17 years old and currently a Grade 12

student at Maranatha Christian School. I was born and raised in Williams Lake.I have participated in 4-H for the last 9 years

doing projects in beef, sheep, poultry and pho-tography.

4-H has taught me confidence, leadership, and how to stand up in front of a group of peo-ple and deliver a speech.

I have volunteered at a number of communi-ty events and clubs such as the Williams Lake Stampede Association and Awana Clubs Inter-national. I have also worked on a few ranches in the area including The Gang Ranch and the Princeton Stock Ranch doing tasks like yard work, haying, and riding.

Growing up on a farm with horses and cattle has made me love being outdoors and getting my hands dirty. Most of my free time has been spent with my dad on the farm.

Family has always come first and is very im-portant to me.

Even though my three older siblings have left home, we have stayed really close.

My older brother resides in Williams Lake with his wife and my older sisters live in Kelowna and Prince George.

My mom is a great cook and my entire fam-ily loves cooking.

We are constantly having people over for meals and a good visit. My family has deep roots in the Williams Lake area.

Felker Lake is named after my great, great grandparents and we’ve been residents of the area ever since.

I am a very outgoing person, I love meeting new people and I have never been described as shy. I also love to try new things.

Once I graduate from high school and take some pre-level university courses, I plan on going into a Bachelor of Science in hydrogeol-ogy.

Thank you to my family for helping and en-couraging me, my sponsors for getting me here and supporting me and my friends for your support.

I look forward to the rest of the competition and hope to represent you, the people of Wil-liams Lake, the Stampede Association, and the City of Williams Lake as the 2013 Williams Lake Stampede Queen.

Greetings Williams Lake and surrounding areas! My name is Kyra Stuart, Miss M.H. King Excavating Ltd. I am thrilled and ex-cited to be taking part in the 2013 Williams Lake Stampede Queen competition.

I am 17 years old, and born and raised in Williams Lake. My family settled in the Chil-cotin almost 100 years ago, it’s safe to say I’ll always call the Cariboo home.

I graduated from Columneetza Secondary last year and am now upgrading and looking forward to starting my nursing degree next year at Thompson Rivers University.

After spending some time volunteering in the Save-On pharmacy and at the hospital, I am I have found my niche in helping others. My family is close knit and my parents, broth-er, sister and I enjoy camping and rodeos. It’s something we all enjoy and it gives us that little bit of time together to just breathe. No phones, no computers, just us.

With so many different lakes, rivers or rodeos to take in, who knows where you’ll find us throughout the summer. We also en-joy family vacations abroad. We’ve visited Jamaica and Cuba and have plans to continue this family tradition.

As a little girl I had the opportunity to com-pete in the local gymkhanas. But as we grew and got busier with school and my parents with work, we had to make the hard decision to let go of our horse. This last few months have been very exciting for me as we are now the proud owners of Ace, a five-year-old Ap-paloosa gelding. He’s giving me quite the refresher course in horse maintenance, and riding! There’s nothing more relaxing than shovelling out a stall at -15C.

I believe that participating as a Stampede Queen contestant will be a mark in my life that I will always be able to look back on and remember fondly as a learning and growing experience. I have been to the Stampede near-ly every year of my life. In the early years, I was there with my mom and family anxiously awaiting the bull riding so we could cheer on my dad from the stands. As the years went by, I took notice of the royalty each year and told myself that one day that’s going to be me. And here we are.

A huge hug and thank you to my sponsor Mike and Myles King of M.H. King Excavat-ing Ltd. and to my family for all of their love and support. I wish my fellow contestants, Rachel and Karina the best of luck in the up-coming months.

Hey Rodeo fans! My name is Karina Sukert, Miss Rotary Club of Williams Lake. I am 17 years old and graduating this year from Wil-liams Lake Secondary School. I was born in Williams Lake and raised in the Black Creek Valley in Horsefly, moving into town in 2010.

I have been going to the Williams Lake Stam-pede since I was a little girl. I was so excited to see the Stampede Queen run into the arena. Now it’s my chance to run and maybe I will be running into the arena.

I have been a member of the Horsefly 4-H Club since I was a Cloverbud at age six. I’ve raised everything from rabbit to beef, finishing my final year with photography. 4-H has been a huge part of my life and has taught me many life skills. I have been the president of my club and achieved many awards throughout the years.

I have volunteered for the Stampede Com-mittee and Indoor Rodeo Committee. I worked as an usher at the Indoor Rodeo and wherever the committee needed me. I helped at the Coro-nation at the door, accepting tickets and sell-ing belt buckles. I helped at the Williams Lake Stampede as security at the gate and an usher. On the final day, I worked with the royalty in the grandstand selling raffle tickets for the Carey Price jersey, programs in the V.I.P section, and belt buckles.

I have been a part of many school sports teams and clubs at my school. I participated in student counsel and attended the British Columbia Stu-dent Leadership Conference in Prince George. I coached Grade 8 volleyball this season and my girls brought home a championship. I have been playing volleyball for several years and the WLSS Thunder volleyball team has gone to zones both my senior years. I am currently a member of the Stags Rugby team.

For the past two years, I have been barrel racing for fun. Thank you Charlotte Morrow for teaching me! Last year, I started attending gymkhanas with my horse Charlie. Last year I rode Charlie carrying the 4-H Canada flag while the members of my Horsefly 4-H Club danced away on the float to Elvis Presley’s “I’m All Shook Up.” We won best community float.

Thank you to my sponsor, the Rotary Club of Williams Lake for this amazing journey! I would like to thank Minton Creek Ranch for allowing me to use Charlie. A huge thank you to my mom and dad for supporting me. Thanks also to 4-H, the Stampede Queen Committee, my Baba (grandma) for outfitting me in all my western attire. I would like to wish my fellow contestants Kyra and Rachel good luck!


The Great Plains duo Darrel de la Ronde and Saskia will be in con-cert Thursday, March 21 at St. Peter’s Angli-can Church.

Darrel and Saskia always combine their concerts with an awareness and fund-raising campaign to help promote history, art and community.

For this Williams Lake concert they are shedding some light on the Station House Gallery.

The singer-song-writers are certainly no strangers to Wil-liams Lake as they have played at the Gi-braltar Room in past concerts with Juno Award winners Gary Fjellgaard and Valdy, and for Performances

in the Park held sum-mers in Boitanio Park.

They also have oth-

er notable entertainers such as Daniel Pow-ter, Darby Mills, Steve

Dawson, Bill Hicks (Powder Blues), and Nolan Murray (Til-

ler’s Folly) appearing on their 10 CDs.

They have per-formed with Good Brothers, Stampeders, Emerson Drive, and many more …

Under the shelter of their newly-formed band name The Great Plains they are cul-tivating an immense following across Can-ada and Europe. This year they are touring Canada and Europe with their newest CD Songbirds.

Darrel de la Ronde played in his first working band at the age of 14 and over the years developed a unique finger and thumb picking style that is admired by guitar players every-where, states his biog-

raphy. Although he is an

accomplished lead guitarist and sought- after studio musician, his work today is un-derstated and delib-erate, blending and weaving through the melody with careful precision.

Saskia comes from an old-world Euro-pean classical music background, and her rich velvet alto has been described as ‘ethereal.’

Her voice is a fine instrument that has been toned by only having the very best notes emanate from it, say critics. The audi-ence then, is delight-fully shocked when she segues from an op-eratic version of Ave

Maria to belting out some raunchy country blues.

Darrel and Saskia have earned numerous accolades and awards for their albums which have enjoyed airplay on CBC and many Indie Radio stations around the world.

Their CDs include Back in Time; Lady Luck; Family Tree; Saskia; Christmas Dream; Laura’s Kitch-en; Sailing Saskatch-ewan; Burlap & Bind-ertwine; The Gift; and Songbirds.

The concert March 21 at St. Peter’s Angli-can Church starts at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $15 and available at the Station House Gallery and at the door.

Saskia and Darrel will be in concert at St. Peters Anglican Church on Thursday, March 21 starting at 7 p.m. The concert is a fundraiser for the Station House Gallery.

Library screens filmStatus Quo: Wednesday

The documentary film Status Quo: The Unfinished Business of Feminism in Can-ada will be shown at the Williams Lake Li-brary program room on Wednesday, March 20 starting at 7 p.m.

This is a free event.The film is directed

by Karen Cho. In com-prehensive and clear-minded fashion the film discusses issues includ-ing reproductive rights,

violence against wom-en, child care, and more.

It includes archival and recent interviews on the subject with journal-ist Adrienne Clarkson, Dr. Henry Morgentaler and a number of promi-nent politicians and feminist thinkers.

Not surprisingly, this look at the history of the women’s move-ment in Canada con-cludes that the struggle is even greater today,

at a time when govern-ment concern over eco-nomic challenges seems to take precedence over progressive social is-sues, states the introduc-tion.

The viewpoints and opinions expressed in these presentations are strictly those of the producers and may not reflect those of the Cari-boo Regional District Board of Directors, staff or volunteers.

ENGAGEMENT

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Betts are happy to announce the engagement of their youngest daughter, Sara Betts, to Ken Grainger of Williams Lake, son of David and Julia Grainger of Vernon, B.C. The wedding will take place June 29, 2013.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

As part of its commitment to economic growth and diversifi cation, City Council resolved at its March 5 meeting to support the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium in its efforts to develop Williams Lake’s mountain bike tourism sector. Council encouraged the Consortium to bring forward proposals to Council to assist in their ongoing efforts. Working to prioritize, protect and link key mountain biking areas to the City and supporting the development of additional trailheads within City limits is part of Council’s World Class Recreation strategic priority in the Offi cial Community Plan.

With the largest bike park in the Interior, and the largest legalized network of mountain biking trails in the province, Williams Lake is competitively positioned as a destination for mountain bike enthusiasts from within B.C., Canada, and internationally. Mountain biking is now one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the Cariboo, the total value of the mountain biking sector is estimated at over $2.26 million.

The CMBC’s www.ridethecariboo.ca website has seen a 207% growth in traffi c since it was created in 2010, driven by various marketing initiatives; resulting in an increased economic impact of the sport in the Cariboo of 11.5%.

Since 2010, there has been an average 30% increase in use of the trail system, and 2012 estimates for mountain bike visitor spending is more than $294,000. Indirect spending is estimated at more than $427,000, and visitor spending impact has increased 21% since 2010. Participation in annual events such as the Peel Out and Pedal by the Puddle are also increasing. The recently completed Snakes and Ladders trail, which uses 22,000 board feet of lumber, is positioned to become a provincially renowned “signature” trail for the Cariboo.

Mary Forbes and Dave Dickson receive B.C. achievement awards

Thirty-two British Co-lumbians were honoured at the 10th annual Brit-ish Columbia Commu-nity Achievement Awards’ ceremony held at Govern-ment House in Victoria on March 14.

The Honourable Judith Guichon, B.C. Lieutenant Governor of British Co-lumbia and Honourable Ida Chong, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation presented each recipient with a BC Community Achievement Award medallion and cer-tificate.

Chair Keith Mitchell, QC represented the British Columbia Achievement Foundation, the award’s presenting organization.

“They are citizens from all over the province whose contributions, lead-ership and inspiration have helped to make their Brit-ish Columbia communi-ties more caring, dynamic, beautiful, healthy and unique,” Minister Chong, said in the announcement. Chong is also a board member of the British Columbia Achievement Foundation. “What they all have in common is a passion for the people and places where they live and a strong commitment to making a difference.”

Mitchell added: “To-day’s honourees give the most valuable of life’s commodities, time and energy. They do whatever needs to get done - from sitting on boards and committees to far exceed-ing their job descriptions to sharing their talents of organizing, fundraising, preserving a communi-ty’s heritage or teaching environmental aware-ness.”

Statements about each of the recipients were also released to the public with the awards.

Mary Forbes is very in-volved in her community. Indeed she is known as the first daughter of Williams Lake.

An active member of the Downtown Business Association, Mary is also passionate about sustain-ability.

Whether it’s her retail store, Dandelion Living, or her volunteer efforts as an environmental edu-cator at the Scout Island Nature Centre, her par-

ticipation in Water Wise or leading interpretive walks, Mary finds ways to bring her spirit and energy to ev-ery project.

Especially noteworthy is her leadership of the Po-tato House Project, where she oversaw the restora-tion of one of the oldest heritage homes in Wil-liams Lake, now a centre for sustainability educa-tion.

Commitment, dedica-tion and hard work de-scribe Dave Dickson, states the report. He is the Safer Communities Co-ordinator at the Williams Lake RCMP.

He has initiated a Busi-ness Watch program, the Mounted Citizens on Patrol, increased the volunteer component of Citizens on Patrol and spearheaded the Positive Ticketing Program that rewards young people for being good citizens.

The results of these and other of his efforts have greatly contributed to a substantial reduction in the community’s crime statistics.

Dickson is also a mem-ber of the board of bover-nors for Thompson Rivers University, a volunteer training supervisor with the Canadian Red Cross and a member of the Emergency Social Service team in Williams Lake.

Springhouse 4-H Club members Tyler and Andrew Stafford give a cooking demonstration. Participants say the cookies were delicious.

Springhouse 4-H Club members demonstrate skills

Members of the Springhouse 4-H Club competed in their an-nual Speeches and Demonstrations in the Columneetza Second-ary School cafeteria on Feb. 23.

Each club in the district must hold this function and the top two contenders from each category are eli-gible to attend the dis-trict level competition.

The categories in-

clude speak and shows, demonstrations and speeches.

The only “speak and show” at this year’s event was Wy-att Armes, showing the audience of fellow 4-H members, judges, fam-ily and friends how to make a steer halter.

The lone demonstra-tion was that of Tyler and Andrew Stafford, a quick tutorial of how to make their dad’s fa-vourite peanut-butter cookies.

Speeches, as usual,

were the most popular presentation.

There were a vari-ety of topics from the three junior and 13 se-nior speakers.

Senior members were given the im-promptu topic of how they have changed since their first year in 4-H.

It was interesting to hear their stories of metamorphosis.

Judges Mrs. Jasper, Mrs. Cameron and Ms.Watt placed Matt Armes first for the se-

nior with his speech on High School Ro-deo National Champi-onships in Wyoming (mainly the outrageous drive down there) and Heather LeBlanc sec-ond with her speech on Banner Chasing.

Nicolas Flinton ranked highest for the juniors with his speech on his first year in rodeo and James Kaufman second with his speech on Say Yes 2 It (a trades training workshop).

All in all it was a

great day filled with innovative and origi-nal presentations from young members of our community.

With great sorrow, the Hamm family announces the sudden death of Martin on March 1, 2013.He is survived by his wife: Adaline (Addie); children: Ernie, Robert, Brian (Kirsten), Cathie (Mary-Jo); grand-daughter: Alexandra; step-grandchildren: Kirstin (Dan), Alix,

Keenan; sisters: Lena, Mary, Anna, Margaret (Dave); and brothers: John (Erna), Cornel (Mary), and Walter (Tillie); sister-in-law: Betty. He was predeceased by his grandson: Nikolas; brothers: Frank and Peter; brothers-in-law: David, Nick, George; sister-in-law: Erna.Martin was born November 8, 1926 in Sunnyslope, Alberta to Martin and Anna Hamm, recent immigrants from the Soviet Union. He was the fourth of ten children, and was raised in the Mennonite community in Laglace, Alberta. He attended a rural one room school there until grades 11 and 12, when he boarded in Gretna, Manitoba, to go to high school. By this time, he had decided to become a teacher. After graduation in 1945 (when he used a telephone for the first time), he returned to the Peace River country. His family had moved to Chilliwack, but he remained in the area to attend Bible college for a year. In spring 1946 he rejoined his family on the farm in Chilliwack, but left that September to go to Normal School in Vancouver. In the spring of 1947, at the age of 20, he graduated with a teacher’s certificate, and that fall started teaching elementary school in Osoyoos, BC. He stayed there for four years, then returned to Chilliwack to teach at Vedder Crossing. While in Chilliwack he met Adaline Trotter, fell in love, and they married in 1954. Together, they raised four children.He went to UBC every summer from 1948 to 1954, when he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree. He then taught at Chilliwack Junior High School until 1962, when he had the opportunity to become the Director of Elementary Instruction for School District 27 in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, and so moved his young family to Williams Lake. He dedicated the next 25 years to building and shaping the district, as it grew from 300 to 8000 students. On his holidays, he travelled with his family, taking some memoral road trips, including driving across the country with his three sons. He again went to UBC in the summers leading up to 1972, this time to earn his Master’s Degree in Education. On his next summer off, he resumed his road trips, this time with his younger two children. He dedicated his leisure time to his family, the Williams Lake Rotary Club, and was an avid Bridge player. He retired in 1987, at the age of 60, after 40 years in education. He spent his retirement travelling, reading, and playing Bridge, among other activities. He was heavily involved in his community and lived a vibrant life up until his last hour. Over his long career and life he was known as hard working, fair, and conscientious, and earned the friendship and respect of many.A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 23, 2013 at St. Andrew’s United Church.
