DESCRIPTION
May 03, 2012 edition of the Williams Lake TribuneTRANSCRIPT
Concerns about First Nations participation in the upcoming New Prosperity Mine Project federal environmental assessment, voiced in a letter by Taseko Mines Ltd., contains descriptions that are ig-norant and disrespectful, says Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) Chief Marilyn Baptiste.
Written by president and CEO Russell Hallbauer to Environment Minister Peter Kent, the Nov. 23 letter raises complaints about the previous panel hearings for the original Prosperity Mine project proposal.
First Nations drumming and singing, school children presenting a play involving “dying fish,” or the showing of a “sensational” vid-eo about saving Fish Lake, don’t belong in an environmental review process, Hallbauer writes.
He also protests that issues of spirituality were raised in the pan-el’s final report, and suggests if the company believes the panel for the new review is biased, it may pur-sue court action.
Baptiste says if spirituality is not taken into account, then govern-ment and industry are still stuck in the 1800s.
She says that drumming and prayers are always done at meet-ings, gatherings, general assem-blies, and elders meetings, so why should the panel hearings be any different?
“Will they go back to outlawing our drumming and our ceremo-nies?” she asks.
Taseko’s letter surfaced this week, after a freedom of infor-mation request was made by the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s lawyer.
While she is disappointed with the letter, Baptiste adds it’s unfor-
tunate because the TNG has asked the government’s agencies to ad-vise them every time they hear from Taseko.
“I’m sure they are advising the company about every time we talk to them. Why aren’t they doing the same for us?” Baptiste says, alleging that some of the changes that have been made to the envi-ronmental assessment guidelines have been made in favour of the company.
Kent says he responded to Taseko’s letter, writing that he would forward the company’s let-ter to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.
He says, however, that he has not given CEAA any instructions to proceed with the changes re-quested by the proponent.
He also says he has “not in-structed CEAA to amend the crite-ria used in the first panel review.”
Responding to the negative feed-
back the letter is receiving now that it’s been made public, Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison says he wonders if people understand the intent of the letter and what the company was trying to accomplish by writing it.
“We want the environmen-tal review process to be fair and balanced, and we want it to be consistent with the law and the requirements of the law. An envi-ronmental process has a very spe-cific purpose, described in law, and an assessment of spirituality is not part of that legal requirement.”
Spirituality is a subject that should be discussed and consid-ered by government as part of the Crown’s obligation and duty to consult First Nations. That is where those discussions should take place, Battison suggests.

Taseko raises concerns on First Nations inputLetter to minister from company ‘disrespectful,’ says the TNG, but Taseko says it just wants a fair review process
Monica lamb-YorskiTribune Staff Writer
Taseko isn’t against drumming, praying or discussing spiritual-ity, he adds, but insists those activities don’t belong in the assess-ment process.
“An environmen-tal assessment doesn’t consider the socio-economic factors, but a decision made by cabinet or the minister can take into consider-ation other information, besides that gathered during the assessment.
I think people think the assessment is the deci-sion-making process, but it is not exclusively. It’s only a component of the decision making process.”
Battison says there’s a limited role for spiri-tual considerations;
however, he says those considerations are not about the spirituality of a place, but rather where a place has cultural her-itage significance for various things.
“If a place is described as having cultural heri-tage significance it may be because it may in-clude spiritual use, but the significance of it is as it relates to cultural heritage. That may be where archeology or signs of habitation have been discovered.”
By saving Fish Lake, with its new mine de-sign and mitigation measures, Taseko is considering the cultural heritage significance of the area, he says.
In the letter, Hall-bauer also makes a request that all of the panel members should be seen to be unbiased in respect to all matters before the panel.
“The act says that panel members shall have no bias so we ex-pect that to be the case. That’s a reasonable expectation under the law,” Battison says.
Leaders from the TNG, meanwhile, are hoping members of the previous panel are go-ing to participate in the New Prosperity review because it would give continuity to the pro-cess.
“We have been press-ing and advising gov-ernment that they have to have the same panel if they want to only re-view the changes to this alternative proposal. If it’s not the same panel,
it should be at least one or two members to be a sufficient review,” Bap-tiste says.
Independent MLA Bob Simpson says he’s met with Battison a number of times ask-ing if Taseko can find a different way to relate to the Tsilhqot’in, so he’s surprised that the company wrote the let-ter, knowing it would be eventually be made public.
“There’s a lack of inherent illogical integ-rity in the letter about spirituality, culture and heritage. If you look at the New Prosperity project overview un-der the Fish Lake part, where Taseko mentions that the Tsilhqot’in as-cribe a strong spiritual relationship with the is-land on Fish Lake, then why would they ask that spirituality be removed from the environmental assessment process?” Simpson asks.
The First Nations re-lationship to the land, whether non-First Na-tions understand it or buy it or not, doesn’t matter, because all of the First Nations cul-tural heritage and tra-ditional uses are all in-fused with spirituality, he says.
“That’s why that be-comes a critical compo-nent and to try and ne-gate that under threat of legal challenge is where I struggle because what they’re signalling is if they get a “no” again, they’re going to chal-lenge it in court,” Simp-son says.

district to consulton long-term plan
School District 27 trustees are planning to hold public consultation sessions this fall to assist in developing a long-term plan for the district.
The board issued the statement April 24 fol-lowing its regular meeting that was held in 100 Mile House.
The statement advises all stakeholders that the board is reviewing and consulting data and past consultation processes with regards to develop-ing the long-term plan but anticipates no major changes for the 2012/13 school year, chair William Van Osch said in the an-nouncement. The notice has also been sent to dis-trict staff and union repre-sentatives as well as pro-vincial and city officials.
A public consultation is anticipated to take place this fall with proposed changes implemented for September 2013. The dis-trict has been struggling with balancing its budget for the past few years, given falling student en-rollment and accompany-ing budget reductions im-posed by Victoria and the Ministry of Education.
Van Osch says the school district has quite a few schools with low enrollment and the new long-term plan may or may not include some recommendations for school reconfiguration.
“Everything is more or less on the table, but I think there is some con-sensus on maintaining rural schools,” Van Osch says. While falling enroll-ment and corresponding financial constraints will be a component in devel-oping the plan, Van Osch says financial difficulty is not the whole reason for developing it. He says other factors include the new B.C. Education Plan that includes strategies
for more personalized learning, new technology for distance learning, and programs that give stu-dents credit for work done outside of class time.
“The hard part about planning is that the min-istry has initiatives of its own that change the course of what we do,” Van Osch says. “The plan has to be somewhat fluid to accommodate initia-tives of the ministry.”
He says demographics and economic shifts such as new mines opening or sawmills closing also need to be considered in planning where schools should be placed.
“Long-term planning hasn’t been done in the district for a long time because of shifting demo-graphics and ministerial initiatives,” he says.
He says the former board started work on a long-term plan and the new board is continu-ing that process. Over the next few weeks Van Osch says the board will work on developing a set of guiding principals for the proposed plan and by fall have a framework in place along with some options to offer for public discussion. As part of the planning process, he says the trustees are reviewing previous board initiatives such as the Our Kids Our Future report based on public consultation that took place in the lakecity four years ago. The Our Kids Our Future public consultation followed the board commissioning of the Trillium report of 2006 called Maximizing Resources for Student Achievement: A Strate-gic Facilities Plan for the Cariboo-Chilcotin School District. This report made sweeping recommenda-tions for reconfiguring, closing and consolidating schools in the Williams Lake bowl area to address issues of falling enroll-ment.

Williams Lake high schools ranked
Williams Lake second-ary was ranked 264 out of 280 and Columneetza secondary was rated 269 out of 280, in the Fraser Institute’s latest rankings of secondary schools in B.C., released Monday.
Superintendent of schools for School Dis-trict 27 Diane Wright said the Fraser Institute’s foundation skills assess-ment results do not tell the whole story about the high schools in Wil-liams Lake.
“What I can tell you is we work with all of our schools and we re-view information about how students are doing both at the school level, and then I review that at the district level and that’s what’s referenced in the achievement con-
tract and the superinten-dent’s report,” Wright explained, adding those annual reports are ac-cepted by the board and posted on the district’s website.
“Those are the reports that really tell us how our students are doing.”
In the last five years, Wright has seen a shift in the trend, particularly with elementary stu-dents.
There have been positive increases in the FSAs for reading and writing, notably among First Nations students. At the secondary level, grade-to-grade transi-tions rates through grade 11 are also improving.
“It’s difficult because outside of Grade 12 Eng-lish, Grade 12 exams are no longer required so we’re looking at Grade 10 results,” she said,
adding work still needs to be done to improve the graduation rates, but there is work that’s hap-pening behind the scenes to address that issue.
Last week Wright and facilitator Dave Ma-cLeod spent the day in 150 Mile House with secondary students from Alexis Creek, 100 Mile House, Peter Skene Ogden, Horsefly, Wil-liams Lake and Colum-neetza schools, as well as G.R.O.W. and Skyline — two off-site alternate programs in Williams Lake.
“We asked what their best vision of the future of schools was,” she said, adding it’s student voices that are the piece of the story needed to make a shift in educa-tion.
“The students were fabulous. It was a di-
verse group, but the common voice was that there needs to be rel-evance in what they are learning and they need to be provided with real hands-on, outside-of-the-classroom experi-ences,” Wright said, add-ing the students’ abilities to articulate their needs were really impressive.
MacLeod will be pre-senting a report to the school board at the end of May about the student session.
In addition, participat-ing students have agreed to be part of an online focus group and will be further engaged by an-swering questions.
“We’re really intrigued to send out a question next year to students that have graduated, asking them what they can tell us now after being out of school for a bit. For ex-
ample, what would make a real difference?”
The Fraser Institute’s academic performance rated WLSS 3.5 out of 10 and CSS 2.8 out of 10. The information in-cluded with each rating showed in 2010-2011 there were 103 students enrolled in Grade 12 in WLSS, with 13.4 per cent speaking English as a Second Language, 8.7 per cent described as special needs, no French Immersion students, and parents’ average income of $58,3000.
At Columneetza sec-ondary there were 160 students enrolled in Grade 12, with 5.4 per cent speaking English as a Second Language, 6.1 per cent described as special needs, 3.4 French Immersion students and parents’ average income of $60,900.
Bosley’s Pet Food Stores, Warehouse One, Subway Restaurants, and a Bell Mobility dealer will be new tenants at the Prosperity Ridge Shop-ping Centre, announced Platform Properties Ltd. today. Platform says the first phase of the centre, located at 1185 Prosper-ity Way, has been turned over to tenants to com-
mence their interior fin-ishes.
About 85 per cent of the 10,400 square-foot building has been leased.
A building permit has been obtained for a sec-ond building of approxi-mately 10,000 square feet. Construction will begin shortly with turn-over to the tenants an-ticipated in the fall of this
year. Upon full build-out, the Prosperity Ridge Shopping Centre will of-fer up to 100,000 square feet of retail space, ser-vicing Williams Lake and the broader area. In conjunction with the adjacent Walmart Super-centre, this development will continue to attract new retailers to Williams Lake, allowing area resi-
dents to shop locally for more products and ser-vices, says a news release from Platform.
“This is something the community has been an-ticipating for some time,” said Mayor Kerry Cook.
“I’m pleased to see this development progress. I look forward to even more retail opportunities at the Prosperity Ridge
Shopping Centre.”Platform is a real es-
tate development com-pany based in Vancouver, B.C. and has been active in retail development for more than 15 years. Ex-perienced in commercial and residential develop-ment, Platform has de-livered retail solutions to several communities throughout B.C.

Local trustees support revision on FSA testing
School District 27 trustees have sup-ported a motion by the BC School Trustees Association to work with the B.C. Teacher’s Federation on develop-ing an alternative to the controversial Founda-tion Skills Assessment (FSA) tests.
After considerable discussion during the BCSTA’s annual meet-ing in Vancouver last weekend, Chair Wil-liam Van Osch says a resolution was drafted which supports an al-ternative form of test-ing that would stop the Fraser Institute from using the FSA informa-tion to rank schools.
“The FSA is a snap-shot in time rather than a true evaluation of stu-dent performance,” Van Osch says.
“It isn’t an accu-rate way to evaluate schools, student per-formance or staff per-formance.”
While the FSAs are not without value when it comes to Ministry of Education and district planning, Van Osch says that too often the Fraser Institute’s use of the test results to rank schools has been used as a political or public relations tool to criti-cize the public educa-tion system.
“It would be more productive to get rid of it and replace it with something else,” Van Osch says.
In their current form FSA tests in reading, writing and numeracy are required to be de-livered to students in Grades 4 and 7 each year.
The alternative to be worked out between the BCSTA and BCTF is to use a random sampling method of delivering the tests instead of the current blanket testing.
“This is a very much needed win for the BCTF and we are thrilled that the trust-ees of the province
have heard our con-cerns with the FSA,” says Joan Erb, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers As-sociation president.
“A random sampling is what we have been encouraging the gov-ernment to do so we are very pleased that the voice of teachers is being acknowledged. Thank you, trustees!”
Van Osch says an-other negative aspect of the FSAs in their present form is that teachers end up teach-ing students how to do well on the tests at the expense of the overall curriculum.
He says so much negativity has also de-veloped around the FSAs that a lot of stu-dents don’t take them seriously anymore and some parents won’t al-low their students to take the tests.
If a student doesn’t take the test the mark for that student is zero which lowers the overall mark for that school.
He adds that just be-cause some students don’t do well on ex-ams doesn’t mean they don’t know the mate-rial.
In other news out of the BSTA annual meet-ing in Vancouver over the weekend, Van Osch says the School District 27 trustees were able to meet one on one with the minister of educa-tion.
While it wasn’t this district’s turn to meet with the minister he says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett arranged for a short meeting with the min-ister which turned into an hour-long session.
He says the local board had put together a comprehensive set of questions and issues to discuss with the min-ister which are still in camera.
“But I can say it was a productive meeting,” Van Osch says. “We want the minister to know we are apprecia-tive.”
The latest round of gaming grants benefit organizations in Wil-liams Lake to the tune of $135,000.
A press release issued by the gaming branch states the main recipients in the community gam-ing grant category are adult sport and arts orga-nizations as well as hu-man and social services
organizations.“With this latest round
of grants, over 5,000 community groups across British Columbia have received a total of $135 million in funding.”
Local organizations receiving the grants in-clude the Invasive Spe-cies Council of British Columbia ($50,000), Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and Dis-trict ($35,000), Station
House Gallery ($22,700), BC Rodeo Association ($20,000), Lions Club ($14,744), and Central Interior Regional Arts Council ($2,900).
“Our funding has re-mained consistent over the last four years,” says local Boys and Girls Club executive director Mon-ica Johnson. Typically they receive $28,000 for programming and $7,000 for supplemental, which
this year will be used to replace flooring at the centre.
The $35,000- grant represents about five per cent of the club’s overall budget, and helps with recreation and nutrition for children and youth services.
“Anything helps,” Johnson says.
For Station House Gallery’s manager Diane Toop the return of the
gaming funds indicates the gallery’s commit-ment to the community is being recognized.
“We remain hopeful that some continuity in the funds will resume so organizations such as the Station House can maintain our programs and service to our com-munities without con-cerns about how we will meet next year’s budget needs,” Toop says.

Messages powerful
Bad data, bad decision
I’m off with council members and our CAO to the North Central Local Government
Association Convention this week in100 Mile House, and I’m looking forward to debating resolutions and having discussions around beetle ac-tion coalitions, Interior Health, and other issues.
W i l -l i a m s Lake has a resolu-tion to be debated at the
convention, calling on the provincial and federal governments to increase the amount of infrastructure funding available to local governments and to reduce the limitations that are placed on infrastructure funding programs. Ministry of Community, Sport, and Culture Ida Chong will be in atten-dance on Friday. Platform Properties has announced the first four tenants, representing 85 per cent of its first building at Prosperity Ridge, and it’s something the community has been anticipating for a long time. The company has a building permit for a second 10,000 square foot building, and I’m glad to see more develop-ment on the hill.
I attended the memorial service for Rayel MacDonald at WLSS, and it was the biggest service I have ever been to. It’s amazing how a young individual has impacted so many people, and that was reflected in the huge show of community support.
I also attended the Day of Mourn-ing ceremony, which was an impor-tant time of remembrance for those victims of the Burns Lake and Prince George mill fires, and a time to re-solve to do even more, as employers and employees, to ensure safety in our workplaces.
Tuesday, I was a judge of anti-racism posters drawn by students in grades 4 through 7, and I was im-pressed with the level of creativity and artistic ability. Mostly, though, I was impressed with the content of the messaging. It’s important to talk to our children early about multi-culturalism and about racism.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Wil-liams Lake.
There’s an adage in business that you can’t manage what you don’t measure. Put
another way, if you don’t have good data about something, then you won’t be able to successfully manage that particular aspect of your business.
The single largest public asset in British Columbia is our forests; the
estimated econom-ic value of those forests is approxi-m a t e l y
one quarter of a trillion dollars. De-spite the importance of our forests, it’s become increasingly clear that the provincial government’s data about our public forests is no longer accurate or trusted. For some time now, the As-sociation of BC Forest Professionals has been calling on the government to increase investment in forest inven-tory while pointing out weaknesses in the current inventory system.
A November 2011 report from the Forest Practices Board concluded that they “do not have confidence that the forest ministry can adequately describe the current condition of the managed forest or track changes in its condition into the future.” This lack of confidence was echoed in a commu-nity consultation process conducted by the BC Government Employee’s Union, which concluded that “a cen-tral issue for … participants was the lack of up-to-date forest inventory in-formation.” Those same participants believed government was “irrespon-sibly risking one of our most valu-able resources,” because good forest management decisions could not be made without accurate, up-to-date information about the state of our forests. An auditor general’s report released in February brought all of these concerns together in one scath-ing indictment of the government’s lack of knowledge about, and vision for, B.C.’s public forests.
Unfortunately, the minister respon-sible chose to dismiss the auditor general’s assessment. I brought all of these concerns to the minister respon-sible during budget estimates debates this past week. The minister said he was confident he had the information he needed to manage our public for-ests. Unfortunately, it seems few oth-ers share his confidence.

Liberals get a glimpse of futureBarring major unforeseen events, the NDP will
likely win the next election. That was made clear in last Thursday’s two byelections. The NDP won Port Moody-Coquitlam by a sizeable margin. They had a popular candidate in recently-retired Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini, and results were much as ex-pected.
The real surprise and key result was in Chilliwack-Hope, where the NDP won a seat they have never held. Gwen O’Mahony took the seat in a three-way fight, with the BC Liberal vote melting away, and the resurgent BC Conservatives coming third with 25 per cent of the vote.
Liberal candidate Laurie Throness got 4,399 votes and 31 per cent of the vote. This compares with Barry Penner in the 2009 general election, who got 8,985 votes. So the Liberals, in the course of three years, lost more than half their support, with a large proportion of that going to the BC Conservatives, whose candidate John Martin got 3,548 votes.
There is another factor — the voter turnout. In the 2009 election, 16,865 votes were cast in Chilliwack-Hope. Last Thursday, despite the scrutiny this race has been under, and numerous visits by the premier and other party leaders, 14,013 people voted.
That means more than 2,800 stayed home — likely because they wouldn’t vote for the Liberals, and did not want to vote for anyone else. If the Liberals can convince most of those people to come back to them in the next election, the Liberals will win these kinds of seats. However, the vote splits in other ridings, put-ting the NDP in position to form the next government. The Liberals won a number of seats in 2009 by narrow margins, with little or no Conservative opposition.
If the Liberals can convince enough disaffected vot-ers to come back to them, they will keep some tradi-tional strongholds. But unless their political fortunes improve drastically, in three-way election fights they will lose many of their seats.

Thank you for reaching outEditor:
Where can we begin? I have always known what an amazing place that we live at here in the Cariboo.
The people are good and big hearted, and generous souls. We have witnessed this many times over the years.
We, the family and friends of Rayel MacDonald, would dearly love to thank each and every one
of you, who put your own lives on hold, to reach out to us in our time of devastating loss.
The outpouring of love and kindness has brought a comfort to our broken hearts. We are never alone. We have you, the people from our beautiful communities of Big Lake and Williams Lake, by our sides.
Many times over the years our wonderful daughter Rayel made sure that if her friends had been
drinking that she would get them home safely. She was so respon-sible and caring.
We hope that you, whose lives have been touched by Rayel, re-member her and honour her mem-ory by not allowing your friends to drink and drive, and by not getting in a vehicle with someone who has been drinking behind the wheel.
Love, from the family.Andrea MacDonald

Economic development helps us keep valuable services here
Editor: A recent trip to Kamloops hos-
pital so that my wife could have a procedure performed reminded me of how many government services we are losing from Wil-liams Lake and the greater Cari-boo-Chilcotin community.
School closures, Forest Service closures, and who knows what other things the government has quit or will quit providing servic-es for. Requiring us to travel great distances for a procedure that at one time might have been per-formed here in Williams Lake is a definite reminder of how impor-tant it is to have a growing, rather than a declining, population in this centralized community.
The recent driver’s licence is-sue for senior drivers being re-quired to travel to Prince George, Kamloops, or even Kelowna to take a driving exam reflects upon the lack of importance the gov-
ernment is placing on this former centralized Cariboo community. As this community loses popula-tion to the changing trend in the forest industry, the population will be increasingly required to travel further and further afield to obtain services that were once available locally.
For my wife and I, as senior citizens to travel to Kamloops, the cost for this travelling comes out of limited pension funding. Is this not indirect taxation?
For somebody living in, say, the West Chilcotin, the cost to travel to distant centres including overnight stays can and could be quite overwhelming.
It is hard to believe, but my son had to take his son to Vander-hoof to have his tonsils removed. Many people have to travel great distances to have cancer treat-ment, heart surgery, and joint replacement; the procedure may be covered but transportation and
overnight or longer stays for con-cerned family members are not covered.
The question we need to ask ourselves is, are we doing all we can to help Williams Lake regain its former premium and important role as a centralized community serving the greater Cariboo and Chilcotin? If we are not doing all that we can do, are we not at the same time indirectly increasing the personal tax burden and life stress on our aging population for them and their families being required to travel further and fur-ther afield for services and treat-ment?
We may not like speaking up for some forms of economic de-velopment in this greater area; however, without population growth we will continue to lose currently available services at an increasing personal cost.

Predators likely to blame for foal lossIt’s branding time in the Cari-
boo and right now with the often, daily rain showers,
it’s been difficult to schedule a dry branding day!
However, this past Friday the weather co-operated and we were able to get our first branding ac-complished by noon.
Then, I hurried off down the road toward Dog Creek on one of my semi-annual photographic trips to record the Esk’etemc First Na-tion horse drive; this time it was
to view the trip home from winter range (Wycotte Flats).
Luckily for me, the timing was perfect, as I arrived at the spot where the horse herd comes up
from the river bench lands with about 20 minutes to spare, and very soon, the horse herd came thunder-ing up the incline. After a brief rest for the herd, the horseback riders, and their mounts, the herd was bunched and turned, for the final run up the Alkali valley to the cor-rals at the home reserve corrals.
Each year, on the run home — as the distance accumulates, a natural separation occurs within the run-ning herd and the chase-group, as the less fit horses (and perhaps,
riders) began to fall off the pace set by the leaders.
The gap widens until they lose contact with the main herd. Usu-ally, the trail-group consists of mares with young foals, thinner older horses and riders mounted on horses not used to travelling such a distance at such a quick pace. The separation is natural, and those left behind just adjust and travel at their own speed.
What was worrisome and very noticeable this year was the lack of
2012 foals (three was all I count-ed) and quite a few less yearlings (2011 foals) than is the norm.
With the past winter being one of the easiest (mildest) in recent memory, the weather is an unlikely culprit. Instead it is thought that predators may have wrought hav-oc on the young stock these past months, meting out their own ver-sion of a culling program.

Support WL 2012 Dry Grad for a chance to win a Ford RangerYou could be driv-
ing home in a free Ford Ranger this June.
Raffle tickets for a 2004, two-wheel drive, automatic Ford Ranger pick-up are up for grabs as part of a second annual
Dry Grad fundraiser con-sisting of support from a variety of local busi-nesses.
The truck, with various upgraded features, is be-ing donated for the fund-raiser by Lake City Ford,
Big O Tires, Integra Tire Auto Centre, Chap’s Auto Body, Stampede Glass, Chucks Auto Supply, Audio Video Unlimited, Tell-Tale Signs, Blocks R Us, and Gene’s Paving.
Tickets are $10 each and
are available at Lake City Ford, Big O Tires, Integra Tire Auto Centre, Chap’s Auto Body, Stampede Glass, Chucks Auto Sup-ply, Audio Video Unlim-ited, and Tell-Tale Signs. They are also available
at upcoming truck raffle fundraisers: the Rotary Exhibition at the Cariboo Memorial Complex May 4-6; Dog ‘N Suds bar-becue May 12; Mother’s Day Flea Market/Break-fast Save-On-Foods May
13; M&M Meats barbe-cue May 26; and Chaps Autobody car wash and barbecue June 2.
There are second- and third-place prizes includ-ing premium pastured pork, cut, wrapped, and
donated by Cariboo Berkshires and Rodear Meats (second); and a tent, Longhouse 6 (two-room family dome tent), also donated by Surplus Herby’s. Draw date is June 9 at the Complex.
The distance between New Delhi and Williams Lake is vast, but for the Ministry of Environ-ment’s new air qual-ity meteorologist for the Cariboo Region, the ex-tremes are probably felt a little more intensely.
Comparing his old home to his new home, Arvind Saraswat imme-diately talks about pol-lution.
“New Delhi has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the world and I think we are prob-ably one of the places in the world with the low-est here,” he says of Wil-liams Lake.
Saraswat was born in a “very small” city in India, although what qualifies as a small city in India is a population of 100,000 people, he admits.
When he graduated from high school, he moved to New Delhi to pursue an undergraduate degree in civil engineer-ing at the Indian Institute of Technology.
After graduating from IIT he worked for two and half years at a World Health Organization col-laborating centre called Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Program, where he was a project associate.
“I was doing traffic safety research there, but while doing traffic research I got interested in traffic emissions and that made me make the switch from transporta-tion to environmental sciences.”
He has been working in Williams Lake since the beginning of Janu-ary, while continuing to finish his PhD in re-source management and environmental studies at the University of British Columbia, where he was enrolled as a full-time student since 2006.
A main focus of his job in the Cariboo is the air quality of communi-ties in the region, spe-cifically that of Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.
“It involves air-shed planning and under-standing how different sources are impacting air shed quality in those communities.”
He points out that in-
terior communities are unique when it comes to air quality because air becomes trapped in the bowl-shaped valleys that dot the topography, with what’s called inversions.
“The air quality in Quesnel would be quite distinct if there’s an in-version there compared to the air quality of Wil-liams Lake if there is no inversion. These are me-teorological conditions which lead to trapping of pollutants within an air shed or a region.”
Emissions inventories, completed for Quesnel and Williams Lake about five years ago, revealed that industrial sources, wood burning sources, road dust and traffic were all major contributors to air pol-lution. Railway engines were also identified as having some impacts, he explained.
“There’s no single source that’s respon-sible for all air pollu-tion. It’s a combination of sources that leads to air pollution. And as I mentioned, we have a slightly unique situation in terms of meteorology and topography. The in-versions lead to higher levels of pollution.”
The differences be-tween the Fraser Valley and Cariboo regions are that the Fraser Valley has ozone concerns, whereas the Cariboo doesn’t. The main concerns here are dust (PM-10) and fine particulate matter(PM-2.5).
Air quality is continu-ally monitored by MOE at two different stations in Williams Lake — one is at Columneetza Sec-ondary School, the other is at the Cariboo Region-al District Library.
“The stations provide
minute by minute data 24/7. They are highly so-phisticated instruments and quite expensive as well. We have access to data all the time so it’s real time data.”
At the Columneetza station, all parameters are being measured. At the CRD only PM-10 and PM-2.5 are being monitored.
An additional non-continuous station at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club pro-vides data through a filter-based method. As a result it takes time to retrieve the data and there’s a time lag be-tween monitoring and the time when MOE gets the results.
Public access to this information can be obtained at http://en-vistaweb.env.gov.bc.ca/.
Referring to an air quality roundtable and an air shed management plan already in place in Williams Lake, Saras-wat says work started around 1999 to put plans together that would serve as models for dif-ferent communities.
“We are now at a stage for a review to take place to understand how much progress has been made since the plans were put
in place.”Saraswat notes there
are different ways to understand air quality — through annual aver-ages and 24-hour aver-ages. Generally annual averages would indicate statistics that are useful for understanding the long-term picture.
While annual averag-es are below objectives, the concern is managing time periods when inver-sions cause poor disper-sion conditions that lead to high levels of PM-2.5 and dust.
“In general I would say air quality is good. We just have to be vigi-lant that we manage our emissions well. We try to follow some simple things like not idling, trying to use clean sources of heat like elec-tricity if possible,” he says, adding if that’s not possible and wood is the only heat source, then to use well-cured wood and high efficiency cer-tified wood stoves.
He also nudges citi-zens to consider cutting down on their driving and walk more if pos-sible.
“We need to be cog-nizant of the fact that human activities lead to higher pollution. I
would encourage every-one to visit the BC Air Quality website. It has a number of ways list-ed there which people can make a difference by doing small things.” (http://www.bcairqual-ity.ca/101/individual-air-quality.html)
Pleasantly surprised with Williams Lake, Saraswat says he’s mak-ing friends, has tried ice fishing and hopes to go hunting in the future.
“I can buy Indian spices and foods in the stores,” he adds with a smile.

Consider refi nancing your mortgage to pay off debt!
With spring upon us and new projects in mind this may be the perfect time to make a fresh start by refi nancing your mortgage to pay off your high-interest debt.
You may fi nd that taking equity out of your home to pay off your high-interest debt can put more money in your bank account each month.
And since interest rates are still at near historic lows, switching to a lower interest rate may possibly save you thousands of dollars per year.
There are generally early pre-payment penalties for paying your mortgage loan out prior to renewal, but these are generally offset by the extra money you acquire through a refi nance.
Refi nancing your mortgage could also enable you to make investments, go on vacation, do some renovations or even invest in your children’s education.
Keep in mind, however, that by refi nancing you may extend the time it will take to pay off your mortgage. That said, there are many ways to pay down your mortgage sooner.
Most mortgage products include prepayment privileges that enable you to pay an extra 20% of the principal per calendar year. This will also help reduce your amortization period which in turn saves you money.
In the current credit-crunched lending environment it’s more important than ever to contact a mortgage professional to fi nd out your options!

Imagine the relief. In front of around 600 screaming
hometown fans, after two years of tireless work managing, organizing, recruiting, practicing and promoting, the Lake City Derby Girls won their first match.
“It was our first win as a team so we were all just tickled,” said Lake City Derby Girl Toni Healy, who goes by the name Tuesday.
The Lake City Derby Girls downed the Misfits of Mayhem from Sylvan Lake, Alta., 144-136 in an extremely competitive derby bout Saturday night at the Cariboo Memorial Com-plex in Williams Lake.

Healy said the atmo-sphere in the building was electric, and exhib-ited an adrenaline rush none who participated will soon forget.
“You were at the edge of your seats,” Healy said. “Every-body was just crazy. It was hard hitting. It was, wow. It was awe-some. The girls played well on both teams, very well.”
Two years ago the Lake City Derby Girls held their first home match in rink two at the Cariboo Memo-rial Complex. Healy said shifting into the bigger rink one was a welcome move for the team’s second bout.
“It was much better,” she said. “I was talking to some other people who were there and they were saying the stands were much eas-ier to sit in and move around in, too.”
The bout itself took its toll on the team, Healy said, and noted several of the players
are “still a little bit ten-der.”
The Lake City Derby Girls also borrowed a few players from Prince George, Ed-monton and Kamloops to help make up the 14-player roster.
“We have amazing camaraderie,” Healy said.
“All the derby teams do. We’re bashing each other on the track and then after the game we’re best buds. It’s awesome.
“That’s one of the reasons we like this sport is the sportsman-ship. It’s like no other sport I’ve every seen and it’s very cool.”
With the team’s first
win now in the books Healy said she hopes more girls will come out and give the sport a try. She said the Lake City Derby Girls wel-come anyone, any age over 18, to join the team — regardless of skill or experience.
“For anyone who wants a change of pace, it’s awesome,” she said. “I’m turning 47 in a few days so there’s no excuses. Don’t let age and ‘Oh, I can’t skate’ stop you.”
The team tries to hold regular practices twice a week, on top of dry land and train-ing on their own per-sonal time. Starting in September the team
rents both the Nesika elementary and Ma-rie Sharpe elementary gymnasiums to prac-tice in.
“You’ve got to be in good shape for this type of sport,” Healy said. “It’s like hockey. You’re non-stop bash-ing. Quesnel’s team is a year and a bit old, and they’ve got a full roster. Kamloops is a about a year and a half old, too, and they’ve got three teams now so we’re hoping to get some more.”
Coming up for the Lake City Derby Girls, hopefully, Healy said, is a trip to Billy Bark-er Days in Quesnel to help out the Quesnel Gold Pain City Derby Girls for their upcom-ing bout. Incidentally, Quesnel is Healy’s hometown.
“I wasn’t able to play in this match [in Wil-liams Lake] because of an injury but I’m hoping I get to play in my hometown and kick some butt.”
It’s like no other sport I’ve ever seen and it’s very cool.”

It was a great week-end for youth soccer in the Cariboo late April.
At the Quesnel In-door Soccer Tourna-ment, the Williams Lake under 12 boys team came home with silver medals around their necks.
“Our boys played so well as a unit, and it was exciting as both a coach and a parent to see the teamwork and skill that they dis-played,” said coach Katie Dyck.
The U12 portion of the tournament in-cluded two teams from each Williams Lake and Prince George, and one team from
Quesnel. The team said it en-
joyed the opportunity to play on Quesnel’s indoor fields so early in the season as a pre-cursor to the outdoor season.
“Quesnel has a beau-tiful indoor facility, and you can really see how they have devel-oped their kids since getting it,” Dyck said.
“Williams Lake would put out some truly first-class athletes with access to such an asset. But, until we get our own, I welcome the invitation to play in Quesnel’s tourna-ments. Good work boys!”

Judo club brings home medalsThe Williams Lake
Judo Club competed at the Prince George Open Judo Tournament on April 21 at the Civic Centre.
The local club sent nine competitors, its highest turnout for a tournament yet.
The team’s youngest athlete was Brody Wil-son, 6.
“As a white belt (be-ginner) he was not al-lowed to fight (Judo Canada rules), so there was a demonstration di-vision with other white belts, and no winners or losers,” said Williams Lake Judo Club Sensei Jeff DiMarco.
The other juniors who competed were:
• Jaeden Wilson —
bronze.• Georgia DiMarco
— silver.• Linden Hay —
fourth.• Drake Henderson
— bronze.• David Russell —
gold.Furthermore, older
junior men and seniors competed from the lo-cal club. The results
are:• Rudy Klaue, Dean
Demers, Jeff DiMarco — bronze.
Wilson, Hay, Hen-derson and Russell were all first-time com-petitors, DiMarco said, adding they faired very well.
“Overall it was a good day, a good experience and everyone fought
well — especially the first timers,” DiMarco said. “Some were a bit disappointed and oth-ers were happy with their performances.
“Tournaments are a great place to test your-self, and win or lose, you learn lots by com-peting and it hopefully helps you for the next tournament.”

Bicycle safety will be the theme for the Tim Hortons Bicycle Rodeo coming up Sunday, May 13.
The event is sched-uled to run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Canadian Tire parking lot. All children who can ride tricycles or bi-cycles are encouraged to attend.
Participants are asked to bring their bicycle and helmet along, and must register for this free program by calling the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-398-7665.
This year the Tim Hortons Bicycle Ro-deo is teaming up with the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society who in partnership with Red Shred’s are offer-
ing gently used bicycles for anyone who doesn’t own a bike. Anyone needing a used bicycle can call the Conserva-tion Society at 250-398-7929 and ask for Carla Glessing.
The Bike Rodeo pro-motes safe bicycle rid-ing habits, which will reduce accidents involv-ing children. The event is free and offers many interaction activities for children.
“Bicycle safety is very important,” says safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dick-son. “It is the time of the year when our children are out on the street with their bicycles and if we can teach them safety through this rodeo then everyone wins.”
A course with a se-
ries of seven safety sta-tions will give children the opportunity to learn correct riding skills. A thorough safety inspec-tion of the bicycle is the first stop on the course. Professionals will also check the child’s bike helmet to make sure it fits well and is being worm properly.
“Children suffer in-juries doing wheeled activities because of a combination of factors that most commonly include inexperience, loss of control, lack of traffic safety skills, high speed and the tendency to attempt stunts,” says the Safe Kids Canada website.
The remaining bike safety stations will fo-cus on riding techniques and skills. Children will
be asked to ride through courses of figure eights, circles and parallel lines. The emphasis for children at this event is to learn how to control
their bicycle.Sponsors of this event
are: Success by Six — United Way, Tim Hor-tons, Canadian Tire, Brian Injury Society,
Community Policing, Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, Boys and Girls Club, Youth for Christ and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation
Complex.Contact Irene Berns
or Denise Skarra at 250-398-7665 for more in-formation or visit www.activewilliamslake.com.

KCI_MAY03_1_W_10X12_S_WLT.indd 1 12-05-02 2:19 PM
Filmmaker and Crashed Ice racer Trevor Mack is seeking financial support to create his first profes-sionally made short film that will be shot in the Chilcotin late this sum-mer.
A member of the Tl’etinqox (Anaham) Band, Mack graduated from Columneetza in 2010 and at age 19 already has one award-win-ning film to his credit.
In the spring of 2011 Mack’s film Get Up, Move Up won the $5,000 first place prize in the Active Spirit,
Active History video contest spon-sored by the B.C. First Nations Health Council.
He plans on entering the contest again with another unrelated video.
Get Up, Move Up is about a young man who is glued to his couch and Xbox, but then he has a very “awak-ening” experience.
He realizes there is an actual world out there, with the potential for anything.
“So he does one thing. He simply gets up,” Mack says.
“He then experiences the world around him and realizes he can do something, and he feels a sense of
belonging.” In his new film which he is writing
and directing called The Blanketing, Mack intends to feature Tsilhqot’in people speaking in their own lan-guage and showcasing the beautiful tradition of buckskin outfits.
“I am a proud Tsilhqot’in (Chilco-tin) First Nation,” Mack says.
Mack took an interest in film at an early age and at 19 he already has nine years experience working with motion graphics, editing, vid-eography and photography.
During this school year more than 20 students from Colum-neetza Secondary School had the privilege of attending Encounters with Canada, an amazing program that brings high school students together for a week of incredible adventures in the capital city of Canada, Ottawa.
It is a life-changing experience for all the students who are for-tunate enough to take part in this program.
The objective of Encounters is to bring young Canadians from different backgrounds and regions together in order to give them an opportunity to learn about one another, to discover their country through each other, and to gain a better understanding of our incredibly diverse country. The program begins in September and runs until May and about 120 stu-dents attend each week.
Students stay at the Terry Fox Centre in dorms and visit the Par-liament Buildings. They tour the many sights in Ottawa as well as doing activities that relate to the theme of the week they attend. The students fly to Ottawa, often on their own, learning to navigate the airports and becoming more independent.
One of the most amazing as-pects of Encounters is that typi-cal cliques and groups that occur in a high school are not present and students are accepted by oth-ers unconditionally. Everyone is equal!
Brett LaBossiere went to In-ternational Affairs and one of his highlights was touring the Cana-dian War Museum. He travelled alone to Ottawa and made many friends once he arrived in Ot-tawa.
Sunney Engstrom attended the Arts and Culture week and said, “Encounters forces you to step out of your comfort zone and
meet new people.” She enjoyed visiting the museums, meeting new people and touring the beau-tiful city of Ottawa.
Makena Rankin also attended Arts and Culture and says, “En-counters is important because it teaches independence and helps you meet new friends from all across Canada.”
Alexandra Dickens went to Sport and Fitness week and got to go to an NHL hockey game. She thinks, “Encounters is important
because it makes you more proud and knowledgeable about your country!”
Cody Haley-York attended Medicine and Health week and enjoyed meeting new people.
Matt Brenner went to RCMP week and visited the National RCMP Headquarters, saw the musical ride training centre, and learned about different police tactics.
Michelle Thamerus went to Medicine and Health week and
enjoyed meeting new people from all across Canada and was able to speak French with her fel-low Canadians.
Ryan LaBossiere attended Medicine and Health week and enjoyed talking to people about his future profession. “It’s really fun because it’s a once in a life-time chance to meet with teens from all across Canada.”

Ryan Jensen went to Arts and Culture week and says, “Encounters was important because it brought together a di-verse group of students that learned to live like a family by the end of the week.”
Conlan Sprickerhoff attended the Sports and Fitness week in September. Highlights for him include late night conversations in the dorm and going
rock climbing. He feels that, “En-
counters with Canada is important to bring together the country and to show different cultures throughout.”
Ivona Ognjanova went to Sports and Fitness week and en-joyed rock climbing and swimming. “It lets you learn about all the different provinces and cultures in Cana-da. It’s truly a trip of a lifetime!”
Tracey Beauchamp attended Medicine and
Health week during spring break.
She enjoyed doing labs and rock climb-ing as well as making new friends with stu-dents from all areas of Canada.
She thought, “It helps your social skills and gives you a chance to appreciate where you’re from.”
This is an amazing program for our youth and I hope that we can send even more stu-dents in the upcoming school year.
Last fall Mack was among 120 of 500 ap-plicants selected to par-ticipate in the Motion Picture Arts Program at Capilano University where he plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
He is also part of a freelance video edit-ing and motion graph-ics group named Viral Design that produces videos for some of the world’s biggest gaming equipment companies.
While in Vancou-ver he also tried out for and made the Red Bull Crashed Ice racing team two years in a row.
Crashed Ice is an ex-treme sport in which skaters dressed in pro-tective hockey gear race each other on a down-hill ice course reaching 60 to 75 kilometres per hour.
Mack says he was overwhelmed to see 100,000 people turn out for the race. “My first thought was to not fall,” Mack says on his televi-sion interview about the sport that he did with fel-low racer Robert Vos.
Mack says the film he is working to make this summer at Anaham is very close to his heart. He will employ local people and elders as some of the actors, and have them speak in their own Chilcotin language, a language that is slowly dying.
The story is set in the 1800s and involves a
confrontation between a group of gold miners and the First Nations people, a confrontation that will change the course of their lives forever, says Mack, who doesn’t want to give away too much of the story line.
He says Anaham has experienced some diffi-cult times over the years having experienced high alcohol use, high crime rates and gang prob-lems.
“I really hope you can help me help a whole nation become proud of itself again,” Mack says. “I am asking if you could help support my short film that I am extremely passionate about, wheth-er it be financially or simply word of mouth.
“I grew up on the Anaham reserve and I really want to make the Chlicotin people have something to be proud of. Especially the youth,” he continues. “I have an entire crew already se-lected and ready to go as soon as it is summer, and by July I hope to have 100 per cent of the funds for the film ready. Also, I plan to be very transpar-ent to where your money has gone, so at any time you can e-mail me ask-ing for a document and I will show you every single purchase with the donated money.”
Mack is currently also looking for a lead actor to play the main gold miner who would be between the ages of 40 and 55.
Mack says he also has a professional music
studio from Los Ange-les willing to compose the music in collabora-tion with the Chilcotin people if enough money is made.
As for distribution, he explains that he will be entering the film in film festivals around the world, and will be de-buting the film in both Williams Lake and Van-couver either this fall or Spring 2012.
Mack also adds that any size of donation for the project is appreci-ated. Money raised will help to pay the actors, transport of the crew and equipment from Vancou-ver and cost of distribut-ing the film.
If you want to reach Mack for more informa-tion, you can e-mail him at [email protected] or visit his website at www.trevormack.ca.

Filming this summer
The Cariboo Festival 2012 Honours Concert this Saturday evening wraps up a month-long celebration of perform-ing and literary arts in the lakecity.
The Honours Concert featuring performances by outstanding musi-cians, singers, choirs, speakers, musical the-atre entertainers and more takes place at Cariboo Bethel Church starting at 7 p.m.
During the evening awards will be present-
ed to various winners and at the end of the evening organizers will announce this year’s delegates to the pro-vincial festival taking place May 27 to 31 in Nanaimo. The national festival takes place Aug. 16 to 18 in Fort McMur-ray, Alberta.
The goal of the Cari-boo Festival Society is to encourage the devel-opment of the arts with-in Williams Lake and the surrounding area, say festival organizers who are all volunteers.
The mission of the festival experience is to
travel with others along the path to artistic excel-lence. Through a month-long spring festival, the Cariboo Festival pro-motes educational and artistic growth in music — voice, piano and a variety of instruments; and in speech arts and creative writing.
The festival annu-ally serves hundreds of participants from schools and the com-munity through indi-vidual classes, champi-onship playoffs, and the Spotlight and Honours concerts. Participants receive instruction by
highly qualified adjudi-cators from around B.C. who this year includ-ed Catherine Hansen from Prince George for speech arts, Sebastian Ostertag from Prince George for Band and In-strumental, Alexandra
Babbel from Kelowna for voice, Lori Elder from Prince George for piano, and Lorne Dufour from McLeese Lake for creative writing.
Some of the work by creative writing winners is featured on this page.
I looked out my win-dow. I only saw white? I jumped out of bed and shouted, Mom, Dad, Darien, the first snow; it finally happened. Now we can build our rink?”
“Great,” my mom groaned.
Darien yelled, “Yip-pee! Laine, go get your coat on, we can start to build up edges.”
My brother and I went outside and start-ed packing up snow to be the edges.
Hatrick, our Old English Sheepdog was just as excited with the snow as we were.
We finished the edg-es, and went inside for nice, warm hot choco-late covered in whip-ping cream, marshmal-lows, chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
“Aaahhh, delicious,” I sighed with content, my mouth covered in a whipping cream mus-tache.
For the rest of our day we went cross-country skiing in our winter wonderland.
The next morning I woke up to the tempera-ture being plus-five C.
I looked outside.The edges we had
built were gone, the snow one big puddle. I slowly got out of bed, deeply depressed and disappointed. I thought bitterly, “There goes our winter wonderland.”
It snowed a little bit more today, and I de-cided to walk the dog. I grabbed Hatrick’s leash and collar. As I was do-ing so I heard a quiet melody.
It was gone almost immediately after I heard it. I thought noth-ing of it. I walked Ha-trick, but when I got back I heard the melody again. This time, how-ever, it was a different
type of melody, more rock and roll. This time I was intrigued. I looked everywhere, trying to find out where it could have come from, when it hit me.
Of course! It was coming from the gnome home, a little door on the entrance of the tree.
My parents had put it there just for decoration or a mere chuckle every now and then.
I knew there was no such thing as gnomes, but then what was in the tiny door? I had tried to turn the small knob be-fore, just in case, but it had never opened.
I tried again. This time the door
swung open. Inside was a whole new world, a people sized world, nevertheless.
There were people everywhere. A lake was covered in people having a scrimmage, a lodge full of people coming in and out with hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast by the fire, which mo-mentarily was being swarmed by even more people.
I asked the nearest person: “Where am I? What is this place?”
“We are in Winter Wonderland, open only in winter to people that love winter!” he an-swered.
I shouted: “Awe-some!”
I ran down to the rink, laced up my skates and began to play hockey.
It was wonderful! It was an open lake
with a big part of it shovelled off.
As it started to get dark, lights strung across over the lake lit up. The sight was as-tounding!
Not much later the zamboni drove out to flood the surface! The driver even let me drive
the zamboni! I finished skating, and
then went to the fire to roast marshmallows and drink hot chocolate.
I soon decided that since it was past sun-down, I had better get home.
When I got home, no time had passed.
It was crazy. Our fam-ily decided to go cross-country skiing because the snow at Bull Moun-tain was still great.
As we were skiing, I decided that hockey in the gnome home was quite exhilarating, but my real winter wonder-land was with my fam-ily.

– Stars the Terrified –
Once upon a time there lived a bunny named Stars. Stars was not an ordinary bunny! He was gray with orange polk-a-dots. His most favourite treat was honey-glazed carrots. Stars wouldn’t dare to enter the spooky forest in Happy Valley with his big family. He was very brave but he didn’t act like it.Why didn’t he want to go inside the spooky forest? Because he was scared to enter it. Even though he was brave he was terrified of the wolves.There were a lot of wolves in the forest.
The wolves loved to chase Stars around. Even the bears loved to chase him around. This kept happening for two years.Then one day the spooky forest changed to be a nice forest. It changed because it was magical. Stars was so relieved that most of the wild animals stopped chasing him forever. But there was one creature that never stopped chas-ing him even though the forest had changed. That creature was the guacamole! It was hairy and it had razor sharp teeth and gigantic feet. It was very evil and the magic didn’t work on it. As a result, Stars ran away forever.

Helen Sandy, a seasoned fisherwoman
If she’s able to spend time at a Farwell Canyon fish camp, Helen Sandy says her summer feels complete.
Since 1996, the Secwepemc woman from the Sugar Cane Re-serve has been going there pretty steadily.
“Every now and then I miss out. The year before last I did because I had no transportation out there and no fishermen so I just stayed in town,” Sandy says.
Sandy first learned how to prepare and smoke salmon from Velva Tenale, who has had a fish camp at Farwell Canyon for years, and urged Sandy to learn.
Four years ago Sandy set up her own camp, and has her own pro-cess down to a science.
Holding out her arm, she dem-onstrates how she takes the fish, cuts the head off and breaks the back bone.
She then grabs the fish by the tail, shakes it, and the weight of the head pulls the innards out.
From there she cuts up to the belly and takes the blood line out and removes all the fins.
“Normally out there we’ll have a pot of soup on and what goes into that soup are the fish heads, the salmon eggs, and the fins. People eat it. I haven’t tried it yet. They say the eyes are the best.”
Then she cuts strips off the bel-ly along the side that are about an inch and a half wide, opens them up, salts and peppers them, and places them in a roasting pan or a bowl.
Once the fins and belly have been removed, she cuts from the neck down as close to the bones as she can all the way down the tail. She then flips it over and all the way down the back.
“By the tail you cut on either side of the tail and break that bone out,” she says, adding expe-rience has taught her how to fully utilize as much of the salmon as she can.
When she arrives at Farwell Canyon, Sandy makes a tent for herself with sticks and tarps, and prepares a fire for the smoking.
“I clear off the ground on the dry grass, go down to the beach and get sand and gravel and scat-ter it on the ground. Then I dig a fire pit a couple of feet deep, then I put rocks around, about a foot
high, to make a fire pit. Over that I put a piece of metal.”
“I came home with about 150 dried fish and I sent in 40 for the freezer and another 20 fresh fish to can last time.”
One night she was in camp alone, and there were black bears and cougars coming around.
“Thank God I had a gun,” she says.
It is normally very hot when
she’s at the camp, and because she cuts her salmon strips so thin, they dry in about three days.
“I have a steel knife that’s quite wide and a stone that I use to sharpen it. When you’re cutting salmon you have to sharpen it be-tween the third and fifth salmon because it goes through scales and bones. I use a really sturdy heavy butcher knife to take off the head and fins. When I cut the belly I use a filleting knife.”
Peppering the salmon is a per-sonal choice, she explains.
“I like the taste.”When it comes to fuel, she uses
choke cherry, maple, apple and cotton wood. First thing each morning she builds the smoke fire and leaves it to smoke all day long until it naturally dies down in the evening.
Aside from preparing and smoking the fish, Sandy also picks choke cherries and dries them.
The cherries start to ripen in early August, along with crab ap-ple trees near the old log houses at the former ranch site at Farwell Canyon.
“There are choke cherries all over. There are some choke cher-ries across the creek that look like glazed cherries and the ones that are dark brown in colour,” she
says.Growing up at Sugar Cane,
Sandy recalls as a small girl she was not allowed to go to Farwell Canyon because it was too dan-gerous.
Her mother, Anastasia Sandy, didn’t teach her children how to cut salmon.
The men on the reserve would take the boys and teenagers to the river to fish at night time.
Meanwhile, her mom had four galvanized tubs sitting in the backyard, waiting for their return when they’d dump sacks of fish in the water and cover the tubs with boards. Her mom would rise at 5 a.m. the next morning to gut and clean as many fish as she could, waking Sandy and her siblings at 7 a.m. to help.
Anastasia cut the fish in an “open book” style, where she chopped the heads off, cut up the belly line, and then went in close to the spine, breaking the bones and cutting it to the skin on both sides of the backbone.
“The backbone would stay on there, the belly bones would stay on there, and she’d cut by the spine and cut across along the skin and flip it open,” she says, opening both of her hands.
Sandy says the fish they ate in those days came from the Fraser River, not the Chilcotin River.
“I think the fish from the Chilcotin River are firm and less beat up. The salmon do go through the Fraser before they get to the Chilcotin River, so it’s the same fish, but the fact of the matter is when you catch them at Sheep Creek Bridge where our fishing grounds are, those salmon taste too mushy. They are harder to cut up.”
When she’s not preparing fish, or gathering hundreds of choke-cherries from nearby bushes at the site, Sandy loves to take pho-tographs.
Hundreds of her photos docu-ment the fish camp, the fisher-men, the surroundings, and the visitors to her camp.
