RCMP investigate Clinton murder

Teachers to vote Thursday on deal

Smile Fest at the Fall FairFun and laughter and good memories at this year’s Ashcroft Fall Fair.

Police have confirmed the identity of the de-ceased as James Painter, 61, of Clinton.

An autopsy was conducted on Sept. 12 and police can confirm this was a homicide. As a re-sult of the investigation to date, we do not be-lieve this was a random incident. The cause of death is not being released at this time.

The Southeast District Major Crime Unit, along with the Clinton RCMP detachment, are leading this investigation. Anyone with infor-mation about the movements of James Painter on Sept. 10 up until ambulance and police ar-rived at his mobile home residence at approxi-mately midnight Sept. 10 can contact the Clin-ton RCMP detachment, attention Cpl Brandon Buliziuk at 250-459-2221 or Crimestoppers.

RCMP officers responded to a 911 call to a residence in the Trailer Park at the north end of Clinton at 10:51 pm on Sept. 10, where Emer-gency Health Services were attempting to assist an unresponsive male. Their attempts were un-successful.

by Tom FletcherBlack PressB.C.’s striking teachers are expected to vote

this week on a tentative settlement with the provincial government.

Mediator Vince Ready announced the agree-ment early Tuesday morning, after five days of talks at a Richmond hotel. The B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation and the province’s negotiators agreed to withhold details until they have a final document to present, he said.

With a ratification vote of 40,000 union members expected to be held Thursday, the province’s 60 school districts are attempting to return to regular classes next week after five weeks of full-scale strike action that began last June.

“This is wonderful news for the students, teachers, administrators, support staff, trustees and parents in B.C.,” said B.C. School Trustees’ Association president Teresa Rezansoff. “The immediate goal is to get students back in classes as quickly as possible.”

POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber

Ashcroft RCMP 250-453-2216Clinton RCMP 250-459-2221Lytton RCMP 250-455-2225

Car taken without consentSept. 12 at 5 am police received a

report of a car stolen from a Cache Creek residence. The Pontiac Firefly was located later in the day being driv-en by someone he knew. The 21 year old Cache Creek woman returned it af-ter being confronted. The car was not damaged and the 34 year old owner did not wish to press charges.

Parking lot fightSept. 13 at 2:44 am police were

called to the parking lot of the River Inn where two men had been fighting. A 20 year old Ashcroft man was at the scene when police arrived. He claimed that he was sucker punched by another man, but did not wish to pursue charges against the 27 year old Ashcroft man. Alcohol was involved, but there were no serious injuries.

Single vehicle rolloverSept. 13 at 3 am police received a

report of a single vehicle accident on Railway Ave. by the cemetery. The driver had fled before police arrived. The vehicle had rolled and was heavi-ly damaged, as were the no posts and nearby fence. The Registered Owner

of the vehicle was the same 27 year old involved in the fight at the River Inn a short time before. The matter is still under investigation and charges are pending.

Domestic disturbanceSept. 13 at 6:30 pm police were

called to Walhachin for a domestic dis-turbance. Police determined that the couple had been engaged in a heat-ed argument, but no assault had taken place. The 61 year old male had depart-ed the residence but was located a short time later. The 51 year old woman was intoxicated and agreed to leave the resi-dence for the evening to let things cool down.

Stolen motorcyclesSept. 14 at 6:20 pm police received

a report about a suspicious male on a motorcycle at the Sage ‘n Sands Trail-er Court in Cache Creek. The 26 year old Cache Creek man fled the scene before police arrived, but left behind a 1986 Yamaha PT380 motorcycle, that had been reported stolen in Kamloops the day before. Police are still looking

for the man, who is already on probation for the same type of offence. They are also looking for a black and gray 2002 Su-zuki DR650 motorcycle that was stolen at the same time. The Yamaha was returned to its

owner.

Poor driving skillsSept. 15 at 10:45 pm police re-

ceived a complaint of a possible im-paired driver on Hwy 97 driving south-bound into Cache Creek. The 52 year old Victoria man was located there and, based on the complaint, issued with a ticket for driving without due care and attention. The complainant said he was swerving all over the road, keeping an inconsistent speed and cutting people off after passing them. He was also told to move the shotgun from the front seat and put it safely in the trunk. The man was returning from a hunting trip in Prince George.

Preliminary HearingA preliminary hearing has been set

for Shane Gyoba, 27, for Nov. 18 and 19 in Kamloops. Gyoba has been in custody since his uncle, Ed Gyoba, was found murdered in his home in Ash-croft on June 2. The hearing will de-termine whether there is sufficient evi-dence to warrant a trial.

Family of Ashcroft’s first “mayor” return to visit their roots

Annual spaghetti supper in the works

Terry Fox Run carries onOrganizers of this year’s Terry Fox Run in Ashcroft, Deb and Cam Tedford, reported that participation and money raised was up this year from previous year, despite worries that people would forget about it in the light of excitement over the Fall Fair happening later that day. Participation has also been declining slightly over the years, but the Tedfords report that 40 participants raised nearly $3,500 for the Canadian Cancer Foundation. Participants can run or walk at different times of the morning, and some choose to go earlier than the official starting time; some went later because of the earlier start time this year.

Well, fall is upon us and once again the Ash-croft Wellness Committee is planning a spa-ghetti fundraiser and silent auction to raise money to help with the 2015 Wellness Festi-val. Just a note that the committee has decided to change the name of the festival to Ashcroft Wellness and Music Festival as we feel this bet-ter describes what the festival has to offer.

The dinner will be held on Friday, Nov. 7 in the Ashcroft Community Hall, so mark this date on your calendars as it is always a fun commun-ity event. The dinners have been sell outs for the past two years – the food is great, the atmos-phere is fun and it is an inexpensive night out.

The silent auction is a very popular event at the supper and we have received some excel-lent donations over the past two years. We are hoping that the community will be as generous this year and come forward with items for the silent auction table. If you, or anyone you know would like to donate an item for the auction please call either Andrea Walker at 250 453-9402 or Deb Tuohey at 250 453-9019. You can also drop the items in to the Community Futures Sun Country office.

Tickets will be on sale soon at a the same price as last year, including a special deal for families. Ashcroft Bakery, Community Futures Sun Country or committee members will all have tickets to sell.

The committee is still looking for some community members to help in various capaci-ties. If you are interested please let us know.

Back row, from left to right are Jamie Kincaid, Ian Kincaid, Suzanne Blyth, Simon Blyth and Megan Bowles. Middle row: Karen Kincaid, Sarah Kincaid and Cameron Bowles. Front row: Sam Kincaid, Georgia Kincaid and Lewis Kincaid. Jamie, Ian and Suzanne are the children of David Kincaid and grandchildren of Sam Kincaid, one time mayor of Ashcroft.

After a stay in the Vancouver area, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, whitewater raft-ing, biking and checking out the local scenery, the Kincaid family arrived in Ashcroft in mid-August. It was a chance for Suzanne, Ian and Jamie along with their families to explore roots and see where their father David spent his child-hood.

The Kincaid name is a familiar one to local people. Grandfather, Sam Kincaid came to Ash-croft in 1922, and after a brief stay here headed north to a job as telegraph worker in Hazleton. Samuel returned to Ashcroft in 1928 to marry local girl Elsie Sutherland.

Elsie and Sam’s early married life was spent in Hazelton where son Thomas was born. In Oc-tober of 1930 they returned to Ashcroft perma-nently and it was here that sons Lennox, David and John (Jack) were born.

The Kincaids were very active members of the community. Elsie was a gifted musician and singer. She taught the mission band, gave sing-ing lessons and was organist for the Zion church for many years. Sam was involved in several lo-cal organizations - the Legion, United Church, Ashcroft Curling Club, the badminton club, he was a school trustee; board of trade member, a member of the Masonic Lodge, and chairman of the Hospital. The boys were involved in many school activities and sports!

In 1952 when Ashcroft became incorporated Sam was elected its first Chairman.

The family spent a couple hours at the Ash-croft Museum perusing newspaper articles, photos and old Lady Byng year books. Then it was off to visit relatives in Chase and Chil-liwack before heading back to Vancouver and home to the UK!

HAPPY LOOKING GARDEN DECORATION on the wall of an old house in Ashcroft

Dear EditorOn behalf of the Merritt Chapter

Vintage Car Club of Canada, we wish to thank Ashcroft for your support to help make our car show a success, your Lions Club for having the con-cession, and our members Cam and Deb Tedford and Ron Matkea who worked hard to make it all happen - you are appreciated!

Marguerite LundMerritt Chapter VCCC

Dear EditorOn behalf of the Terry Fox Run,

we would like to thank all the won-derful and enthusiastic 40 participants who along with their generous spon-sors and supporters, helped the Ash-croft and Cache Creek Terry Fox Run raise $3487.98 in this year’s event held on Sept. 14.

It has been just over a year since I was honoured by the people of Fraser-Nicola to be their MLA in the Legis-lature, and let me first say it has been a great priv-ilege. I have met with many fantastic constitu-ents, vis-ited every community in our riding and spoke several times in the legislature on issues of import-ance to our region. Thank you for this incredible opportunity.

This summer has been very busy. There were a number of announce-ments in the constituency includ-ing new improvements to highways in our region, clean energy revenue sharing program from the Kwoiek Creek Hydroelectric Project with the Kanaka Bar Indian Band, announcing over $1.5 million in funding to our lo-cal communities from the Strategic Community Investment Fund, among many more.

In July, I was honoured to host Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Government Caucus for our summer planning session in Merritt. The Pre-mier and my fellow caucus members experienced the warm hospitality and beautiful scenery of the region we are

proud to call home.My colleagues got a first-hand

look of facilities here in the Nicola Valley in-cluding the Ashcroft In-land Termin-al, Highland Valley Cop-per Mine and the new Merritt Bio-Carbon Pro-ject. These projects are large job-

creators in our region and highlight our economic importance to the B.C. economy in natural resources and in the growing sustainable energy sec-tor.

Premier Clark also addressed the Merritt Chamber of Commerce high-lighting the importance of keeping our region’s economy growing by maintaining a positive economic en-vironment and facilitating job cre-ation in all sectors over the long-term.

I will be discussing issues of im-portance within our communities in future columns here and providing updates of my activities in the legisla-ture during session, so stay tuned for my next update as I get ready to head back to Victoria for the upcoming ses-sion next month. If I can be of assist-ance please contact my office in Ash-croft at (250) 453-9726 or [email protected] .

No Fall Fair. No Terry Fox Run. No Graffiti Days or Ashcroft Show and Shine. No Canada Day. No Easter Egg Hunt. No Wellness Festival. No Desert Daze. No Riv-er Festival. No soccer, no hockey. No pony club. No no no no no no...

No, wait. They’re all still with us, and more, thanks to all of the people in our communities who volunteer.

Normally I’d save my praise for volun-teers for Volunteer Week or Day or Month, but the past few weekends have kept me hopping to keep up with all of the volun-teer-organized activities in our towns.

I look around at these events and won-der why more people don’t take advantage of these professionally-run events that are offered for next to nothing, but I see differ-ent people at each event (and sometimes the same ones at all of them) and I realize that not everyone is interested in the same things. And too, small crowds are one of the reasons we like living in small towns.

What does it take to be a volunteer? A small bit of initiative to show up at a meet-ing or registration night and offer to help. You shouldn’t have to offer twice.

It can take as little or as much work as you want to put into it. One of the great things about volunteering is that it can teach you new skills, depending on the group. That makes it very useful for young people who are looking for their first job. The common complaint is that no one will hire you until you have job skills - which makes volunteering the perfect place to start. You can also use it for references.

More than that, it’s a great feeling to give something to your community. Listen-ing to the BC Sport Community Heroes (p. 16) last week, it was clear that the one thing they all had in common was that they loved helping others achieve their goals.

Even if you volunteer for the purely self-ish reason (NOT) of learning new skills or getting out of the house, it all gives back - and you get out of this life what you give.

Congratulations to the Fall Fair volun-teers for another well done event, and to all present, past and future volunteers for all of your hard work. We wouldn’t have a com-munity without you all.

Watch for artists painting

Ashcroft Plein Air Paint-out this week The third annual Ashcroft Plein Air Paint-

out began earlier this week and goes until Thursday. Many artists from around the region will in our community to paint in the surround-ing outdoor beauty, and once again Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society is delighted to host the event.

“En plein air,” is French for “in open air” a type of art style used to describe the act of paint-ing outdoors. The Society looks forward to wel-coming those from near and far to celebrate the beauty of what is often described as a “stunning and unique landscape” where inspiring views and vistas abound. Artists of all levels of experi-ence are welcome. Once again, the focus will be on gathering like minds to enjoy the sheer pleas-ure of painting. There will be plenty of oppor-tunities to paint as well as gatherings for meals and conversation.

In keeping with Ashcroft’s commun-ity brand “Wellness Awaits You’, the organiz-ers believe creative expression is also a part of a healthy lifestyle. They are trying something a little different this year by holding the event in the Fall, as opposed to Spring. The thought was to allow artists to view the Autumn colours and hues unique to our landscape. September weather is, we hope, a little more inviting than last year’s cold and rainy May!

After two full days of glorious painting, all Painters, Organizers and any curious Commun-ity members are most welcome to attend a Cele-bration of event for ‘Artists Choice’ at St Albans Hall on Thursday, Sept. 18 from 6:30-8:30pm. There will be a Display & Sale of the freshly painted works.

If you would like more information on this event you can email them at [email protected] call at 250-453-0073 or visit the website canadianpleinairpainting.com

Dear EditorI am sick and tired of hear-

ing our government complain about our teachers and their de-mands. The thought that other unions and their contracts need to be in line with the teachers is only fair if the people working in those unions had to pay for a university education in order to qualify for their jobs. Nurses yes, Doctors yes, social work-ers yes, etc. Why are the people teaching our children, our fu-ture, any less important than our nurses doctors etc?? Why should the premier and her cab-inet receive more than 2 time the salary the very first time they step into government, and receive full pension after two terms be able to try to make the teachers look greedy?? Why should the government deny our children being able to re-turn to school when we the tax-payers pay for them to do just that? Give the teachers a fair deal, with a salary that matches their education and lets get on with it.

Political play in the province’s early daysby Esther Darlington

MacDonaldThe Province was young

in 1871. So young, in fact, that it had just been ushered into the Canadian Confeder-ation. The first assembly of elected representatives met in Victoria - all 25 of them. Some had served on the Col-onial Legislative assembly, and among those was a man from Lillooet, Thomas Basil Humphreys.

Now Humphreys was de-scribed as a “man of parts”. That is, he was a man with oratorical skills, was literate, confident, and possessed, as it turned out, a fair amount of adroit ability to direct persons in his direction. In short, he was the perfect pol-itician.

That is not to say that Humphreys wasn’t a good man. He was. And in an era when, for example, racial prejudice against the Chi-nese was at its worst, Hum-phreys’ attention to the

needs of the formidable Chi-nese community in Clinton and Lillooet was very much appreciated by every Chi-nese miner, farmer, laundry operator and cook.

He kept their books for them, saw that their gold was duly shipped by stagecoach, wrote letters, and generally made himself useful to these hard working men who had endured from the outset, all the travail that a race con-sidered inferior, was sub-jected to - from head taxes to indentured labor.

Humphreys had become something of an advocate for the Chinese. This service would serve to become a de-cided advantage to him later on.

Now there were no ballot boxes or secret voting pro-cedures in those days. There were no nomination papers or brightly coloured ballots on which to mark your pref-erences. It was all word of mouth, one to one. The vot-

er would approach the poll-ing booth, give his name, state his candidate, and the clerk would write it down in the poll book. So the can-didates knew to a man who had voted for him or his op-ponents.

There were no under-handed “tricks” performed, like putting dead persons on the voting list, or plying them with alcohol in the sal-oons before the election, al-though such practices were quite commonplace “down south”.

No, voting was a straight-forward procedure that was both cheap to provide and safe to recognize. Actually, voting was simplicity itself.

The District of Lillooet was large under B.C.’s new regime. As it is today. Lil-looet was allowed two can-didates.

Humphreys had repre-sented Lillooet for two terms. A man named Andrew T. Jamieson was also elect-

ed to the new legislature, but he did not live to benefit from his election. He died in Novem-ber, 1872 and a by-election was held. William Saul, a Clinton rancher from the Mound, was elected to be the junior member for the district.

Talk about oil and water not mixing! This was cer-tainly the case with Hum-phreys and Saul. The two men couldn’t have been more different.

Saul was a man with lit-tle education. His views were limited: he was even described as “narrow minded”.

His new col-league became

an anathema for Humphreys. Here they were, two men who were supposed to work together for the good of the Lillooet district’s many con-cerns, and they detested each other.

Friction was inevit-able. One of them had to go. Humphreys challenged Saul to resign and ask for a new election. Saul accepted the challenge and they both re-signed, leaving their fates int he hands of the voters.

A new election was called, and the campaign-ing began, hot and heavy from he outset. Each man, with his own brand of per-suasion, catering to which-ever element, right wing, as we would see it now, or left of center.

The campaign was short, hot and laden, with all the passions that an election arouses. Divisions divided. Loyalists clamored. Each candidate was roundly con-demned for flaws seen or im-agined. Characters were as-sassinated.

It was the order of the day, and, in many respects, things haven’t changed that much, have they?

The race was neck and neck until Saul finally forged ahead, leaving Humphreys and his followers dismayed.

Humphreys deduced that they needed to come up with a new tactic. His mind turned quickly to the Chi-nese community, and he met with them. Advised them, in detail, precisely what they must do. He briefed them over and over again until he was certain they understood what to do.

When voting day came, what was described as “The Celestial procession” filed into the polling booth.

Each Chinese voter car-ried a small bowl of rice as a symbol of their oath. Each would be voter declared he was from Hong Kong (Hong Kong being part of the Brit-ish Empire).

The issue went to the courts where Judge Sand-ers declared that Hong Kong

was, indeed, a British possession and the 35

Chinese would be voters were British subjects. Each man expressed his preference for Thomas Basil “Humflees” and Bill Brown.

When all the votes were in, Humphreys and Brown were elected by the narrow margin of four. A recount was held, but the numbers didn’t change.

The matter was settled. Humphreys went on to Victoria, but he never undertook to run in the Lillooet district again.

In January, 1878 to August 1882, he held the post of Provincial Secretary and Minister of Mines. But he was defeated in the next election.

Never at a loss for words, Humphreys’ ca-reer continued, enhanced by his oratorical skills and his ability to sway a crowd. He was said to have made “full use of his gifts and opportun-ities”.

But his most notable achievement was get-ting the Chinese men with their rice bowls to the polling booth. The rice bowls thrown down, the rice scattered, signifying the oaths of those 35 men grateful for the services that Humphreys had rendered them.

The Spences Bridge Farmer’s and Flea Mar-ket isn’t just a place to pick up a few veggies and trinkets; the organizers have a grander vi-sion. The concept of the market has also been to nurture local, globally responsible choices in the community, and to bring the community together as folks buy, swap, trade and visit.

Further to that end the market is planning to take part in the International Day of Peace on Sunday, Sept. 21. All are encouraged to bring a drum to the market, aim to be there at 1pm as the group holds a Drumming for Peace session.

The market is a great place to start your Christmas shopping, get your seasonal bounty to preserve for the winter, and always interest-ing browsing and socializing.

The final market day is Oct. 5. In order to honour, thank and celebrate all the vendors and the clients the market committee has planned a special turkey on a bun and pumpkin pie lunch – by donation. Without all the vendors, the market would not have experienced the success that it has, and of course what’s a market without cus-tomers? All are invited to join the festivities and share in some fall bounty as the market cele-brates the close of their first successful season.

under new ownership.Coquitlam businessman Jun-

“The principle shareholders are retiring. They’re moving on and slowing down in life,” said Deb-bie McKinney, with corporate rela-tions, adding that succession plan-ning began earlier this year. “They thought it may take two or three years to find the right buyer be-cause it’s a very unique business. It went faster than any of us would

have expected.”The business will continue to

operate as normal with all manage-ment and staff remaining on. How-ever, McKinney is looking forward to the fresh ideas and changes that new ownership could bring.

“They really enjoy the out-doors. They’re young and they’re excited,” said McKinney. “It sounds like they’re going to be involved and they want to get to know the business. Hopeful-ly they’ll be more hands-on as we move forward here and as they learn things.”

September • Week 4ARIES - Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it’s pretty dif� cult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you’re more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet re� ection.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don’t know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Sometimes it is dif� cult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you’re only human and should let others in this week.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you’ll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You’re content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else.

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

To ski or not to skiMy muscles are sore.

Sore from water-ski-ing.Just in case you have

a vision of me being one of those athletic types who makes this sport look easy, let me assure you the oppo-site is true. I am very good at making it look quite dif� cult, actu-ally. And that includes getting dressed for it.I had no intention of

displaying this special

skill of mine this past weekend, but I was camping with one of

my best friends for the � rst time and she has some water toys she wanted me to try.I’d taken Kari’s kayak

for a jaunt, as well as her paddleboard, and I’d been a passenger on one of her jet skis. I was then encouraged by the kids to go tub-ing or water-skiing.“Mom’s too chick-

en,” my 11-year-old daughter said to my 14-year-old son at the notion of me doing either. “She thinks the water’s too cold.”“It is too cold,” I

agreed from my comfy chair in the sun. “But if there was a wetsuit I’d try skiing for sure.”And that’s when I

learned Kari owned one of those too.With no real interest

in putting down my magazine in exchange for a pair of skis, I thought about it for a few minutes and de-cided to do it anyway. I walked up to the campsite to look for the thermal garment that would keep me from freezing.Putting it on was

more challenging than I anticipated. By the time I got my legs in the skintight shorts portion of it and pulled the middle part up to my waist, I’d al-ready started heating up.Twisting my arms

into an awkward posi-tion to get them into the armholes, I then

stood stuck for awhile; my shoulders bare and my upper limbs im-prisoned behind me in the holes of the sturdy foamed neoprene.After a slight rest I

somehow managed to wriggle my left arm into the suit far enough that it even-tually inched up and covered my left shoul-der. Now with my right arm pushed even further backwards in the second opening, I kept squirming until my right shoulder was covered.When I was � nally

cloaked in the insu-lated fabric I � ailed around a bit more, pulling the suit here and there to make it � t better. Once it did I was able to tackle the zipper.I tried pulling it

all the way up, but stopped when it start-ed choking my neck. Leaving it partially zipped, I walked down to the beach to sur-prise my family with the announcement that I was ready to ski. I also made my friend’s family laugh with the sight of me wearing

her wetsuit backwards.Apparently the big

zipper with the long string attached was supposed to go in the back, not the front. No wonder it had been such a struggle.Now that I’d worked

up a sweat putting the darn thing on, I was ready to cool down in the lake. I was also ea-ger to impress my kids.I’d only water-skied

two other times in my life, and on both those occassions I did it for my children as well. It took me a couple of tries to get up, but once I did I stayed like that for quite a while.I planned on look-

ing graceful - but it just wasn’t possible. With my bottom jut-

ting out like Mrs. Wig-gins, my back arched like a scared cat, and my arms holding onto the rope for dear life, I felt lucky that I didn’t wipe out the half doz-en times I expected to in the � rst few min-utes.I crashed every time

I attempted to ski over the wake, but that was � ne. Whether I succeeded

or failed, looked cool or ridiculous, the im-portant thing to me was that my kids saw me trying. And try I did. With a too-tight wetsuit on backwards no less.Lori Welbourne is a

by Carole Rooney100 Mile House Free PressThe Tsilhqot’in National Government

(TNG), along with ?Esdilagh First Na-tion, have declined to sign an Econom-ic Community Development Agreement (EDCA) with the province of British Col-umbia for the Gibraltar Mine.

A TNG releases states the provin-cial status quo for revenue sharing agree-ments with First Nations is not accept-able in the wake of the recent federal Tsilhqot’in title decision and Mount Pol-ley Mine disaster.

Noting Gibraltar Mine is located less than one kilometre from ?Esdilagh re-serve lands, these groups say they won’t budge on an agreement until the province “fundamentally changes its approach” to engagement and benefit-sharing with First Nations on major projects.

Taseko president and CEO Russell

Hallbauer says he does not understand why they won’t approve a deal with the province that gives them a share in rev-enues from Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine.

“I have no idea why the TNG and ?Esdilagh won’t sign and agree to it; but they ‘march to their own pipers’.

“My understanding is that Soda Creek [Indian Band] just recently got a $125,000 cheque from the provincial government as part of their revenue shar-ing agreement with them on Gibraltar.”

The TNG/?- Esdilagh release cites reasons that include “extremely low amounts of revenue sharing often re-sulting from the terms of the ECDAs” such as “the unfortunate $4,500” that the Williams Lake Indian Band received in a total annual payment from their ECDA for Mount Polley Mine.

Hallbauer adds Mount Polley is owned by Imperial Metals, so is not one of Taseko’s mines. However, as Mount Polley is a much smaller mine than Gibraltar, this may explain a $4,500 pay-ment that doesn’t reflect other, larger government payouts.

“It means that Mount Polley is not making much money. For them to pay revenue shares, they have to have revenue that they can share.”

These agreements are typically based on mines paying capital back to lenders first, before the government – or anyone else – gets a portion of revenues, Hall-bauer notes.

He adds that, signed or unsigned, the revenue sharing agreement with First Na-tions doesn’t affect Taseko or Gibraltar fi-nancially.

“It’s their issue if they don’t want to accept the revenue ... why would they not want to do it? It’s basically a gift from the provincial government for helping move things forward.”

In their reasoning, TNG and ?Es-dilagh also point to “extensive” releas-es that First Nations are required to sign which diminish their right to pursue com-pensation for any damages mining does to the land, such as from the Mount Pol-ley Mine disaster.

First Nations reject Gibraltar economic development agreement

by Keith McNeillClearwater TimesAn Age Friendly program be-

ing put on this year by District of Clearwater with funding from Union of BC Municipalities has been a great success, according to coordinator Linda Selbee.

In a report to Clearwater’s town council on Sept. 2, Selbee said the program has hosted seven lunch-eons so far and plans to do an-other five this fall before the fund-ing ends.

Topics discussed at the lunch-eons so far include arthritis, home support and assessments, services for seniors at Dr. Helmcken Me-morial Hospital, seniors and taxes, mobility study, frauds and scams, rent subsidies, how to get into Evergreen Acres seniors housing, and transit.

Attendance at the luncheons has ranged from a maximum of 70 to a minimum of 30.

Massage therapist Sharon Neufeld discussed and demonstrat-ed movement exercises as well as gardening do’s and don’ts to look after your waist and knees.

Sabine Cooperman taught how to do yoga in a chair.

The volunteers helping the pro-gram have been wonderful, Selbee said. She mentioned by name John and Susan McFarlan, Shirley Grant and Cathy Dekelver.

The fall luncheon topics in-clude Gambling; End of Life issues plus Lunch with the New Doctors; Yoga in a Chair plus Recogniz-ing Depression; Elder Abuse plus Power of Attorney; and Sharing your Bank Account and Protecting Your Income.

Selbee said she thought the Age Friendly program had been worth-while and was glad to hear that a grant to hold another one was be-ing applied for.

by Monica Lamb-YorskiWilliams Lake TribuneLatest test results show the Mount

Polley tailings spill is not affecting this year’s sockeye salmon in the Fraser River, according to the Northern Shus-wap Tribal Council.

“We received our latest report yes-terday on the first group of tested fish and there doesn’t seem to be any contamination of heavy metals,” NSTC fisheries manager Ernest Kroeker told the Tribune Monday.

And with the Quesnel sockeye run being better than it’s been in a decade, Kroeker said the sad thing is many Shuswap didn’t go fishing this year because of fears regard-ing the Aug. 4 tailings breach.

“There were a fair number of our members fishing at the Gang Ranch bridge and it was very busy, but some of our other traditional spots were not.”

Those other spots include the Sheep Creek Bridge, Xat’sull Heritage Village, Rudy Johnson Bridge and Farwell Canyon.

The run has definitely peaked already but will continue on until the first week of October, as the fish move up the Fraser River to the Quesnel River and into Ques-nel Lake and its many tributaries including the Mitchell River and Horesfly River.

What isn’t known, Kroeker said, is the longterm implications as the juveniles will spend the next year growing up in Quesnel Lake.

“Those are the ones who could be most affected by environmental changes,” Kroeker said.

“They will then go out to the ocean and return four years from now.”

Meanwhile the Tsilhqot’in con-firmed the First Nation Health Author-ity has also said the fish tested are safe, but tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse said he is telling members there is no guar-antee.

“Some have been fishing, but not many,” Alphonse said.

“Some of them are freezing the

fish they’ve caught to wait for more re-sults.”

He’d like to see 200 fish tested, he added.

At a meeting of Tsilhqot’in chiefs held Monday, no firm decisions were made around the fishery.

“It’s still an issue of being able to trust the tests,” he added.

Moose hunt in the Cariboo impacted by Tsilhqot’in decision

Williams Lake Trib-une

While a total of 2,468 authorizations for the lim-ited hunt entry of moose were distributed for the Cariboo this fall, the hunt has been impacted by the recent Supreme Court of Canada William Decision.

A Ministry of Forests spokesperson confirmed hunters have received a map indicating where the Tsilhqot’in title area is and have been advised not to violate Tsilhqot’in terri-tory.

“Hunters with LEHs that are partly in the Tsilhqot’in Title Area, but partly out (moose and ant-lerless deer), or hunters with LEHs that are near, but completely outside the title area (four Mountain Goat hunts) have received their authorizations,” the

ministry noted in an e-mailed response.

Four hunters have mountain goat LEHs that are outside of the Tsilhqot’in Title Area, but have access restrictions such as having to cross Tsilhqot’in territory to reach their hunt.

These hunters have been given the option of not accepting their LEH application and receiv-ing a free application for the 2015 hunt or to utilize their LEH, with the under-standing they should find alternative access to their hunt site that would avoid the title area.

Additionally, sev-en hunters with moun-tain goat LEHs entirely in-side the Tsilhqot’in Title Area will not have access to their hunt LEH, and will instead receive a free LEH

application for the 2015 hunting season.

“Residents seeking to hunt under General Open Seasons are advised to only do so outside of the Tsilhqot’in Title Area,” the ministry said.

To date, an agreement between the province and the First Nations around hunting has not been reached.

The Province is seek-ing a long-term solution to resident hunting in the Tsilhqot’in Title Area for future hunts, but said this will not be in place to al-low for a Fall 2014 season in the affected areas.

Normally the number of authorizations exceeds hunting success rates, the ministry said, adding the average harvested moose during the last five years in this area was 961.
