Man robbed, Colourful poster promotes harmony attacked at bank On May 6 at 2:30 a.m. the Williams RCMP received a report of a robbery at a bank in downtown Williams Lake. When officers arrived on the scene they discovered that a 25-year-old male and his girlfriend had entered the bank to use the bank machine. Moments after their arrival, two unknown males entered the bank. One of the males pushed the girlfriend aside and struck the man on the back of the head with a blunt object, and robbed him of a small amount of cash. The victim sustained head injuries and was transported by ambulance to Cariboo Memorial Hospital and later released. Both suspects have been described as non-white, wearing dark grey bandanas and dark clothing. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake detachment at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www. bccrimestoppers.com.

Panel established for mine assessment Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The review panel for the federal environmental assessment of the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project has been established. On Wednesday Peter Kent, federal minister of the environment and minister responsible for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, announced the three panel members and the panel’s terms of reference for the environmental assessment. Kent has appointed Dr. Bill Ross as the panel chair, as well as Dr. George Kupfer and Dr. Ron

Smyth as panel members. According to a news release, Ross is a professor emeritus at the University of Calgary in the Faculty of Environmental Design. He has focused most of his research on the professional practice of environmental assessment and has extensive expertise on cumulative effects assessment. Ross has chaired the Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency for the Ekati Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories for five years and has worked with the four aboriginal groups involved for a decade. In 2009, Ross was the winner of the Rose-Hulman Award from the

International Association for Impact assessment. Kupfer is a consultant focusing on community consultation, conflict resolution and mediation related to social and environmental issues and industrial development. He taught at the University of Alberta for 15 years, and has facilitated many community consultation and stakeholder engagement initiatives related to industrial projects and their impacts. He facilitated a multi-stakeholder review of the Alberta environmental impact assessment process and on developing agreements between First Nations, Métis and the govern-

ment in the Wood Buffalo Region. Smyth is a professional geologist and independent consultant. He holds a Ph.D. in geology from Memorial University of Newfoundland. He spent most of his career in government geological survey organizations. He joined the British Columbia Geological Survey in 1982 as a mineral land use specialist and prepared regional assessments of mineral and coal potential for land and resource management planning processes.

Wheelchair-accessible taxis spark debate Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While the suggestion that the city encourage a local taxi company to purchase a wheelchair accessible vehicle was easy to swallow at Tuesday’s regular council meeting, the idea of adopting a bylaw that would require local taxi companies to incorporate a wheelchair accessible taxi sparked debate.

Coun. Ivan Bonnell agreed with the intent of encouraging the taxi company to purchase a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, but did not agree with government imposing its will on the company. “We’re not suggesting that we’re doing that tonight, but we are putting the wheels in motion to have that discussion,” he said, adding council has not heard back from the company yet and questioned why the city would want to

move in the direction of a bylaw to begin with. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor disagreed, saying the city should move ahead to develop a bylaw. “Why wait? If someone wants to run a taxi company they should be asked to do that because that’s what we’re going to need to address the aging population in our community,” Rathor said. Coun. Danica Hughes took exception to a report comparing Wil-

liams Lake with larger cities such as Kamloops and Prince George. “I don’t think it’s a fair comparison at all. I think we should be comparing ourselves with Quesnel or similarly populated municipalities,” Hughes said, adding she thinks the city should wait and see how the HandyDART’s extended hours play out.

Terms of reference online Continued From Page A1 Reacting to the announcement, Tsilhqot’in National Government Chair and Tl’etinqox (Anaham) Chief Joe Alphonse says the panel guidelines have scaled back the obligations around aboriginal rights. “That would initially be a point of concern for myself. I think we have

the largest right and title case ever won in B.C. and in Canada and those are issues the federal government has to take very seriously, over and above the scientific-related thing the panel has to do,” Alphonse says, adding the federal government has a duty to protect aboriginal rights. Aboriginal rights will be something his government will be demanding

and pushing for, he insists. While he’s disappointed a First Nations member with all the right qualifications was not appointed to the panel, Alphonse says he’s confident the panel is legitimate and will arrive at the right decision. Brian Battison, Taseko Mines Ltd.’s vice-president of corporate affairs, says Kent’s announcements are important steps

.F C.D

in a process that’s unfolding. “The terms of reference look to be consistent with the minister’s commitments. There’s a 12-month process, the review is focused on what has changed in the project, i.e. preserving Fish Lake, and the process is relying on the work done on the previous environmental assessment to the extent possible,” Battison

says, adding Taseko does not intend to comment on the make-up of the panel. The terms of reference, the guidelines, as well as additional biographical information on the panel members and the proposed mine project, are available in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry on the agency website at www. ceaa-acee.gc.ca, under reference # 11-05-63928.

Committee already did research: MacLise Continued From Page A1 It could be a huge financial burden for a taxi company to purchase a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, Hughes said. “I’m wondering where we expect the taxi company to get the money to purchase it and be assured that they would get their money back. We could be putting a burden on them that could put them out of business.” Agreeing with Bonnell, she said the city absolutely cannot impose its will on the taxi company.

Rathor pointed out that in Whistler there are six wheelchair-accessible taxis. Parksville has two wheelchair-accessible taxis. Both communities have similar populations to Williams Lake. “In the days to come we need to look at this bylaw. The citizens deserve better than this. We are building a dog park for $20,000. I’m pretty sure we can do something,” Rathor said. Coun. Laurie Walters echoed Rathor and said there is an established need in the community for the service. “I think the option is still there for the taxi

service. We’re not forcing him to purchase a taxi, but I think we need to take the next step forward. We’re moving toward an ICSP plan (Integrated Community Sustainability Plan) to further accessibility in our community and provide services to our seniors,” Walters said. There are other municipalities in the province that have established bylaws that require taxi fleets of a certain number to include a wheelchairaccessibility vehicle in their fleet, chief administrative officer Brian Carruthers told council. Carruthers said even if

the hours are extended to HandyDART, say until 6 p.m., it will still prevent someone in a wheelchair from going out in the evening. “A wheelchair taxi would provide accessibility 24-seven,” he said. At the end of the discussion, council passed two motions — one to enter into a discussion with the local taxi company about purchasing a wheelchair accessible vehicle, and the other to ask staff to further investigate the possibility of adopting a bylaw. Voicing disappointment that things aren’t moving quicker, Audrey

MacLise, chair of the local Senior Advisory Committee, said the city and the city’s accessibility committee have already done lots of research on getting an accessibility taxi for Williams Lake. “It’s very disappointing that we’re not reaching conclusions. It seems unfair that people with wheelchairs have limitations on them because most events in the city take place in the evening and on weekends,” MacLise said, adding that handicap taxis can be used for regular fares so they aren’t just sitting there.

Woodland Drive residents to be surveyed Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Property owners on Woodland Drive will be asked to participate in a survey about water and sewer needs. “We met with 27 residents from Woodland Drive on April 26 and it became very clear to city representatives as well as residents that it really is not a clear understanding what the scope of the problems are on Woodland Drive,” chief administrative officer Brian Carruthers told council during its regular meeting Tuesday. In order for the residents to move forward and staff to make recommendations to council, staff is suggesting a detailed survey with residents take place to determine what the problems are and what level of interest there may be among residents to establish a service area, Carruthers said, adding at the end of the survey staff and residents can sit down with the results to determine a course of action. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he’s heard residents are not in favour of huge, personal costs that would require taking out a second mortgage. “I’m supporting the survey because it will be a closer step to solving the equation,” Rathor said. Bonnell attended the April 26 meeting and while he found it interesting did not find it very helpful. “They did see the

range of options and the costs associated with them, and I believe narrowing down the scope of interest in the project from each individual property owner will be very helpful for the whole process,” Bonnell said, suggesting a call go out for volunteers from Woodland Drive to participate on the committee with the city. “Our experience with South Lakeside in the late 90s and the incorporation of those residences into the city’s water and sewer services was successful, I think primarily because we had a local community committee in consultation with the residents in the neighbourhood,” Bonnell said. Coun. Sue Zacharias said she was disappointed that only 27 out of 49 property owners attended the meeting. The survey, she added, is a step in the right direction. “I think we’re on the right track, however, and I think we need to determine once and for all what the residents think they want and what the possible next steps are.” Carruthers said there is a resident who has offered his services to be the conduit between the city and Woodland Drive. “I have no doubt that we will have participation from the residents,” he added. Rathor also urged residents to “get involved” because council cannot do it alone.

Council adopts tax-rate bylaw Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City council passed and endorsed its tax rate bylaw for 2012, which includes a one per cent shift from industrial taxes onto residential and business. Mayor Kerry Cook, councillors Sue Zacha-

rias, Laurie Walters and Danica Hughes were in favour, while councillors Ivan Bonnell and Surinderpal Rathor were opposed. “There will be incidents, in particular the slide that affected the storm line in the River Valley, that will incur significant costs,” Bon-

nell said. “I don’t believe that council’s given enough consideration of the impact of an industrial tax shift in 2012 and I’m recommending that two members of council reconsider their position on this tax rate and pull that back and have the tax rate that’s going to be imposed on the community

go across all classes.” Cook responded that she respected Bonnell’s argument; however, she said she was in favour of the one per cent shift. “It’s very small and I don’t see it as a break to industry, as much as I see it as appearing as a city to be in a stronger financial position long

term,” Cook said, adding she was in agreement with Bonnell that the tax discussion needs to be changed to involve more community input. Rathor has pushed for a zero per cent tax increase from the beginning, and said for that reason he would not support the tax rate bylaw.

City of WL puts stop to Complex shortcut Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Those who like to take the short cut around Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex are going to be out of luck. Beginning May 31, the fire lane access will be closed to vehicle traffic. It has been opened and closed over the years, but was never intended to be a road, says the city’s chief administrative officer Brian Carruthers. “It’s not a road, it’s a parking lot,” Carruthers explained at Tuesday’s council meeting, adding

The fire lane by the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex will close May 31.

the gate was installed in the past because there were issues with vehicles going back and forth. The road was never meant to accommodate two-way traffic, he said. “I’ve come through there walking and have seen two cars coming

at once, slamming their brakes, and having to back out.” Recently the city has received a number of letters complaining about the speed at which vehicles travel through the fire lane and the increased usage.

“We have children and adults using the parking lot on a regular basis. Staff looked at a number of options and at the end of the day felt that the most appropriate solution was to close the fire lane,” he said. The Cariboo Regional

District owns the building and has no problem with the city closing the lane, Carruthers said. Carruthers did say the lane will remain open during large events. Coun. Laurie Walters asked if the motion could be taken a step further, insisting when the lane is opened there should be traffic control in place. “First and foremost safety is an issue,” Walters said. Coun. Sue Zacharias added: “it is a fire lane, let’s close it. We’ll leave it closed and open it when we have to.”

Wine-tasting event supports hospital trust Monica Lamb-Yorski

April Gerwing and Leah Durand were among volunteers serving wine during the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust’s wine-tasting fundraiser at the Gibraltar Room May 5. All of the wines were from B.C.

Local RCMP officers recognized Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Police officers removed 12,923 impaired drivers from B.C’s roads in 2011. The numbers were released last week during a ceremony held in Prince George where the BCAA Road Safety Foundation honoured 45 police officers from Northern B.C. for their efforts and inducted them to Alexa’s Team. Formed in 2008, the

Alexa’s Team is made up of 355 RCMP and municipal police officers across the province. Three of the newest team members are officers based in Williams Lake with the RCMP Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services: Const. C. Meaver, who has been in Williams Lake for 14 years, and Const. D. Henderson and Const. C. Ives, who have been here for two years. To be inducted on Alexa’s Team officers must

have removed at least 12 impaired drivers in the previous calendar year through a criminal charge investigation, immediate roadside prohibition administrative process, by issuing Administrative Driving Prohibitions, IRP Fail, or an IRP Refusal. In the North District over the past several years there has been a dramatic decrease in the incidents of impaired driving involving fatal crashes, says Sgt. Bob Verbree, regional commander for

the Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services. “That decrease is a direct result of the implementation of the IRP process, which has provided our police officers with the ability to deal more effectively and immediately with those who choose to put the public at risk by driving under the influence,” Verbree says. Vebree points out the newly-inducted members were responsible for removing 562 impaired drivers during 2011, and

in Williams Lake many of the charges have resulted from RCMP road blocks “Our targeted roadblock times are the long holiday weekends and the counter attack during the Christmas season, but we are also working toward having more road blocks in the summer time too,” he says. According to Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, in 2010 there were 16,067 impaired driving charges in B.C.

A sign of confidence

So many bills, so little time

illiams Lake welcomed Premier Christy Clark last Friday, after she spoke at the North Central Local Government Association convention in 100 Mile House. We were honoured to have her in our city. I joined her at Thompson Rivers U n ive rsity as From the she anMayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nounced Chair $1.6 milKerry Cook lion in funding for skills training in the Interior, including $600,000 for an entry-level logging truck training course in Williams Lake. Classes start this month. This is yet another example not only of partnerships, but of education and training opportunities leading to a more skilled workforce and the economic benefits that come from it. I was happy to attend the ribbon cutting at the Best Western with the premier and members of council. This development has been in the works for a while, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a welcome addition to our community. The opening of the hotel, and the progress on the new Platform Properties retail building at Prosperity Ridge are signs of confidence and growth. I was at the Platform site this week, and I am excited for the store openings this summer. The NCLGA convention is a busy but productive time. We dealt with almost 40 resolutions, including Williams Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requesting the provincial and federal governments to change their infrastructure grant formulas to not require matching funds from the local governments or to consider another system that does not require cash-strapped communities to borrow funds in order to take advantage of infrastructure funding programs. Mackenzie Avenue is an example of such a situation. I also had a number of meetings with Interior Health, beetle action coalitions, and others. Lots of good discussion, and lots of work to do! Did we ever have a lot of energy and passion at council Tuesday with our three delegations: Kids Running For Kids, the Mountview Grade 7 class, and the Grade 6/7 class at Cataline with their Intergenerational Project senior buddies. These young people are our leaders of tomorrow. Our future is in great hands! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

The price we have to pay If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like many Canadians, you spent much of the last weekend of April hunched in front of your home computer, or over your kitchen table, surrounded by boxes and folders of paperwork and receipts. Monday, April 30, at midnight was the deadline to file 2011 income tax returns. Not the best way to spend the last weekend of Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even with the cool cloudy weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although there will be a payoff, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting a refund. About two-thirds of Canadians who file a return will get money back, on average about $1,500. Another 21 per cent will have already paid from deductions the exact amount of taxes they owe, and 12 per cent will have to pay more. And while it sometimes feels like the various levels of government are always dipping their fingers into our back pockets to extract ever more of our hard-earned dollars, Canadians arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as tax-burdened as we like to think. Total taxes, including income, sales,

corporate, property and other taxes, account for 31 per cent of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost three per cent less than the average for other industrialized countries that comprise the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In France, Finland, Austria, Norway, Belgium, Italy, Sweden and Denmark, taxes add up to 42 to 48 per cent of their economies. Sure, Americans pay less tax than Canadians, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pull out our credit cards every time we visit the doctor or get an x-ray at the hospital. The people of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Ireland also pay less tax, but given the financial crises crippling their economies, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely to last. So as you await your refund, or the cheque you had to write to clear, consider it the price we pay for living in a stable, reliable country. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kelowna Capital News

uch attention is being paid to the federal budget bill and the limited time MPs have to debate that massive piece of legislation with its embedded changes to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental laws, but the same issues of timelimited debate and the undermining of the legislative process are playing out in B.C. With nine days MLA left to go in this Musings spring Bob Simpson session, we have more than 20 pieces of legislation still requiring substantive debate. The flood of new bills over the past few days has been overwhelming, and it includes legislation for co-ordinating police forces, managing animal health, re-establishing provincial park boundaries, changing the school calendar, and generic drug pricing. Legislation to get rid of the HST and to restore the PST also needs to be waded through before we wind up at the end of May. Simply put, the amount of late legislation is either gross incompetence on the part of the government or a deliberate attempt to avoid scrutiny of these bills, especially the HST/PST legislation. There is no conceivable way MLAs of any stripe can give enough attention to the bills before us to vote on them in an informed way. Unfortunately, the premier says she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extend the session to fully debate these bills; however, we owe it to British Columbians to give due diligence to this legislation. I believe the NDP could help by committing to stop the over-the-top speechifying that has become the norm for them and by committing to move bills quickly to committee stage debate (clause by clause), where the real scrutinizing work is done. With this promise, the premier should then extend the session for as long as is necessary for all MLAs to do the primary job they were elected to do: to read, analyze, debate and ask questions about the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed legislation, make amendments where necessary, and vote on each bill in an informed manner with the interests of all British Columbians in mind. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints Thank you for the support Question of the week Editor: We would like to thank family and friends for their love and support after the passing of our beloved granddaughter Rayel.

Many thanks to Rayelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and the people who organized so many special tributes to her. Our hopes are with Ms. Mullett for a full recovery. If you have been drinking, stop

for a moment before you get behind the wheel, and remember our â&#x20AC;&#x153;ray of sunshine,â&#x20AC;? and please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive. Bud and Margie MacDonald McLeese Lake

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope anti-trafficking bill will be passed quickly Editor: In the House of Commons, MP Joy Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill C-310, an act to amend the Criminal Code (trafficking in persons) passed at third reading with unanimous consent. Bill C-310 will not go to the senate for consideration. Bill C-310 will have a significant impact on the anti-human trafficking efforts of Canada here at home as well as abroad. This legislation will place important legal tools into the hands of prosecutors and law enforcement. Bill C-310 will amend the Criminal Code by add-

ing the current trafficking in persons offences (s.279.01, s.279.03) to the lists of offences. If committed outside of Canada by a Canadian or permanent resident, the crime could result in prosecution upon return to Canada. Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery and is growing at an alarming rate in Canada. Canada is regarded as a source transit destination for victims of trafficking. Human trafficking involves the recruitment, transportation, and harbouring of people for the purpose of exploitation through the use of force, coercion, fraud, deception, or threats against the victim or their

loved ones. Victims of human trafficking are forced into prostitution, labour, or some other form of servitude. It is a violation of human rights and is often referred to as modern-day slavery. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pray that Bill C-310 will be passed quickly so that Canadians can get a clear message that what they do abroad is no longer acceptable and OK. Thank you to everyone who signed the petitions in town. Your signatures really do make a difference. Dina Kennedy, the Salvation Army Williams Lake

Heritage and culture go together Editor: What is heritage? According to Judith Cook and Berdine Jonker of the Heritage Branch in Victoria, heritage â&#x20AC;&#x153;honoursâ&#x20AC;? what happened in the past. Heritage and culture go together It can be community pride and identity. It can be philosophies and environmental. They go hand in hand.

Values guide where you have come from and guide you where you are going. What is a historic place? It can be a structure, buildings, a landscape, and sites recognized for heritage value. Heritage values are aesthetic, historic, scientific, cultural, social, and spiritual. Spotted Lake near Osoyoos was sacred for all of the above values,

plus for its stories. Look up Spotted Lake on your computer. It is a beautiful place. It is now on private land (a ranch), but the public is allowed to use (access) it. For more information, contact Cook at judith.cook@gov.bc.ca or 250-356-1038 or Jonker berdine. jonker@gov.bc.ca or 250-356-1044. With respect, Chris Hornby Williams Lake

Taseko Mines Ltd. letter shocking, disappointing Editor: Eskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etemc Nation is shocked and disappointed at Tasekoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to the government to ban any exercise of aboriginal cultural and spirituality during the New Prosperity federals review panel. The behaviour of Taseko Mines demonstrates a fundamental lack of willingness to understand First Nations concerns about the effects of the New Prosperity project on ab-

original rights and title. Tasekoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to the Crown to ban First Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prayers and ceremonies from the federal review panel is not just offensive to First Nations but is an attempt to belittle the sacred relationship First Nations have with our lands, which provides us with our identity as aboriginal peoples. It is also another attempt by Taseko to proceed as if we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even here. At the most basic level our ability as First Nations people to survive is

dependent on the lands and waters providing us with the necessities of life. How we govern our communities comes from a place of thanksgiving to the Creator for providing us with the lands and resources we need to exercise our rights for survival. The attempted interference by Taseko with First Nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; participation in the review, however, is nothing new to the aboriginal communities involved in the fight to protect their lands and waters from destruc-

tion. For Eskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etemc, the comments made by Taseko simply display the reason that the New Prosperity project is doomed to fail from the aboriginal perspective: Taseko has again designed the project without talking to First Nations, and is acting as if First Nations donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. The EIS is soon to be done, but Eskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etemc Nation has yet to be asked by Taseko for its views on how the project will affect its rights. Tasekoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach is based on the

false presumption that the project will not devastate our culture, and will not result in significant losses which cannot be accommodated. Instead, Taseko is content to ignore the impacts to our ability as aboriginal peoples to maintain a spiritual connection to our lands and waters, which is integral to our concepts of ownership and the exercise of our rights. There is no honour in that. Chief Fred Robbins Eskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;etemc

Reduce your footprint Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer For the third year in a row Canadian Tire in Williams Lake is teaming up with different recycling stewards to accept a plethora of goods during an all-day recycling event on May 12. Billed as Reduce Your Footprint, store manager and organizer Brian Stefan says stewards will be accepting tires, electronics, and small appliances. Canadian Tire normally accepts a long list of items for recycling — including glass, oil, batteries, and florescent bulbs — so those bins will also be waiting and ready. Glass goes across the road to United Concrete where it is recycled. “I’m anticipating the number of items we’ll receive to be off the charts,” Stefan says, adding since its inception the event has grown every year. New partners for 2012 are Speedy Glass and Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Club. Speedy Glass will fix rock-chipped windshields on-site and Rotary will accept used books. As in the past, Big Brothers and Big Sisters will accept soft goods, while Bee Line Courier will collect the electronics and small appliances. Those can be anything

from faxes, computers, scanners and cameras to personal audio equipment. “You know those old rear-projection TVs that were the size of a small vehicle. We saw some of those come back last year. They’re so heavy, people don’t know what to do with them,” Stefan explains. Bee Line will also take toasters, irons and kettles. “We know that those kinds of items are not being diverted. They are just going to the landfill,” Stefan says. Central Cariboo Disposal will collect used paint, stains and spray cans. In past years people have attended and spoken with stewards based in Williams Lake and learned recycling information they weren’t aware of. “They may have thought things were to go in the garbage, and did not realize they were recyclable,” Stefan says, adding the information learned during the day goes back to people’s families and neighbourhoods. Three years ago, Stefan won a write-in contest through Tire Stewardship BC that resulted in the society bringing a 53-foot trailer and two employees to Williams Lake. They’ve been returning ever since to haul tires to Vancouver where they are

recycled to make items such as athletic tracks, playground surfaces, commercial flooring and coloured mulch. Canadian Tire’s own community program Jumpstart — which pro-

vides local children with registration fees for recreation programs — will accept donations of beverage bottles that day too. See CANADIAN Page A8

PET Services

A new friend for all the family At one time or another most young children will ask their parents if they can have a pet. This request should be given serious consideration, as it can bring real pleasure to the entire family, as well as many other advantages. Parents will know that they have made the right decision when they see that loving and caring for this new companion will enrich their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development and build self-confidence. Even though a pet can contribute a great deal to family life, you should always ask yourself what type of relationship youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have with the animal before making a final decision. Having a pet is a long term responsibility, so the animal must be able to fit in with your lifestyle. A dog is an ideal companion for a retiree who feels lonely and wishes to remain active. The pet will be a loyal friend with unquestioning love for its master, and it will also be able to guard

the house. Solitary animals such as cats are a good choice for those who have active lives and who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend much time at home. The fact that a cat combines independence with affection is what makes this animal so appreciated. If you love the playful, teasing character of a kitten, you might give some thought to adopting a ferret, a very active animal that loves exploring. Keep in mind that a ferret requires a great deal more attention than a cat, as it has to be let out of its cage on a regular basis. Many other different types of pets are becoming more popular in homes, including rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. Even if many of these pets are relatively easy to care for, you should always consult municipal regulations before buying one.

Gleeson, a 17-yearold, 160 pounder, fought Sudbury Muay Thai’s 26-year-old Sean Cyr in a threeround kickboxing bout at the Dawson Creek Memorial Arena. “We took the fight on four days notice but I’m always in fight shape so that wasn’t really an issue,” Gleeson said. “The fight was good. It was basically

me chasing him the whole fight, so it was a good fight.” Paul Rosborough, trainer and owner of Williams Lake Muay Thai, said despite being somewhat of a frustrating fight for his student he was happy with the result. “He used his jab well and his range well and barely got hit,” Rosborough said. “The other guy was running the right way to get away from his right hand all the time and we almost had him out of there a few times but just couldn’t quite get him out. Either way, a win’s a win and it was a unanimous de-

cision.” Rosborough added he’s happy with Gleeson’s development since his last fight in November. “You want to take some time to develop guys,” he said. “He could fight once a month if we wanted but that wouldn’t help develop his skills.” The 10-fight card in Dawson Creek was sanctioned by MMA B.C. and commissioned by retired UFC veteran Bill Mahood. Close to 700 people attended. “He’s doing anoth-

er one June 23 and I bet they’ll put 1,000 people in there, easy,” Rosborough said. “It’s a fight town and it’s nice to go that way instead of the Coast all the time.” Now, Gleeson hopes to continue rolling with his 3-0 record and has been added to the June 23 card in Dawson Creek. Gleeson added thanks to Trevor Todorowich at Twisted and Tortured Inkworkz for his tattoo, and Rosborough noted a big thanks is in order to Kim Colgate at Concrete Fitness.

Rowdies lay claim to icebreaker crown Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Twenty eager teams took to the ball diamonds at the Esler Sports Complex on the weekend for the annual Williams Lake SloPitch League Icebreaker Tournament. And when the dust settled three teams — one for each A, B and C divisions — marched away with championship titles and prizes. In the ‘A’ division it

was a tightly contested final between the Rowdies and the Lakers. Rowdies pitcher and captain Linda Barbondy said the game was tied for several innings and was close throughout. The final score ended up 12-8 with the Rowdies coming out on top, following a win over the NDNZ to advance to the final Sunday morning. Meanwhile, the Lakers trip to the final consisted of wins Sunday over High Life and the

Honey Nut Ichiros. In the ‘B’ division it was Whisper ‘n’ Waters downing the Wild Chickens, 12-6, for the crown after knocking off the Bears to advance. Finally, in the ‘C’ division championship game the Beer-O-Crats let their heavy bats do the talking in a 1513 win over the Wolf Pack. “It was an excellent weekend,” Barbondy said, who is also the

president of the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League. “We had great weather. Normally it rains or

snows on that weekend so that was nice.” Third-place teams were awarded a case of softballs, second-place

teams won Slo-Pitch National hoodies and first-place teams won a new bat. Next up for the Wil-

liams Lake Slo-Pitch League is the Overlander Pub Tournament from June 15-17 at the Esler Sports Complex.

U13 reps nab wins to start season The Williams Lake Storm under-13 rep soccer team picked up a pair of wins to kick off its season last weekend in Quesnel. The team, coached by Glenn Williamson, easily defeated a U13 ‘C’ team from Prince George, 7-0, in its first action of the year. The Storm were up 5-0

at the half and cruised to an easy win with forwards and defence switching positions at the half to keep the game interesting. The second game saw the Storm face another team from Prince George. This time it was the under-13 ‘B’ team. Williams Lake started slow but scored the first

goal of the game carrying a 3-1 lead into the second half. Following some back and forth action in the second half Williams Lake eventually headed back home with a 6-4 win. This weekend’s league play sees Williams Lake head to 100 Mile House for a pair of games.

ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 426 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day (nearly double what Europeans use!)* 2. False: Never put fats, oils or grease down the drain - when these substances enter our wastewater they can clog pipes and deplete oxygen in the aquatic environment. 3.

Cataline intergenerational project celebrated Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The Cataline Elementary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intergenerational Immersion project with the Seniors Village will be celebrated at the school on May 23 with an invitational potluck dinner. The participating Grade 6/7 students and their parents will cook the pot-luck dinner and have sent out invitations to various stakeholders in the community to attend the dinner, says teacher Steve Dickens. In fairness to students and parents doing all the cooking, Dickens says the event has to be by invitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping for 20-30 prominent community/business members to attend and bid,â&#x20AC;? Dickens says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a tremendous evening.â&#x20AC;? After the dinner starting at 5 p.m. the students will show short video clips of their time with the seniors while they were taking classes at the Seniors Village this winter and spring. The students have been painting six recycled 45-gallon barrels with waste-wise themes using recycled paints that will be auctioned off at the end of the evening to raise funds for a bursary for a high school graduate who has participated in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bursary fund, I hope, will be a substantial size by the time kids who take this program are off to university,â&#x20AC;? Dickens says. While the event is not open to the general public, Dickens says donations for the bursary would be gratefully accepted. The auctioneers and masters of ceremony will be Lorne Doerkson and Terry Fowler. The keynote speaker for the evening will be Sharon MacKenzie, executive director of the i2i Intergenerational Society who pioneered the Intergenerational Learning Project Too Cool 4 School in Sidney, B.C.

Cataline Elementary School intergenerational program students and their teacher joined with representatives from the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village Tuesday evening to receive a Community Spirit Award from Mayor Kerry Cook and city council. Pictured in the back row are Jan Banyard (left), teacher Steve Dickens, Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village general manager Elaine MacDonald, Jacob Hooge, Jean Yanblonski, Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village recreation manager Janet Catalano, and Mayor Kerry Cook. In the front row are students Tyler Wiesman, Danielle Schultz, and Brett Downey. tor Janet Catalano is on the i2i Intergenerational Society board, for which the Too Cool 4 School is a flagship project nationally, MacKenzie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your city should indeed be proud of the accomplishments of all of those involved as this is only the second project of its kind in North America and has received acclaim from the governor general of Canada, the UN, the International Federation on Aging and the B.C. ministries of health and education, the National Seniors Council of Canada, numerous university and citizen groups from across Canada,â&#x20AC;? MacKenzie says. The Intergenerational Immersion program is designed to teach students the values of respect, responsibility, kindness, caring and acceptance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and help students develop a sense of independence

and generosity through a very meaningful experience. For five weeks last fall and three weeks this spring Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grade 6/7 students came to Cataline for an hour in the morning then walked to the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village where they worked on curriculum, provided community service and connected with seniors in various activities such as reading to the seniors, playing games and visiting with them. MacKenzie is also asking the city to declare June 1 as 2012 Intergenerational Day Canada. She says respectful and purposeful inter-generational connecting is the number one prevention of elder abuse and mistreatment of older and younger generations. On May 8 Dickens and Cataline elementary principal Mike Grace along with the students and Retirement Conceptsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village

were honoured with a Williams Lake Community Spirit Award. Dickens says he also received a call this week and follow-up e-mail from Carolyn Prellwitz, chair of the BC Retired Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association Committee for Excellence in Public Education, telling him that the Cataline program is one of five winners of a 2012 BCRTAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden Star Award. The award will be presented in Williams Lake by BCRTA and other education representatives later this year. The i2i Intergenerational Society is also seeking permission from parents and participants to have stories and pictures included in a write-up about the program for the BCRTA Postscript magazine and the BCTF Teacher news magazine and submit reports about the program to the Canadian Association for Retired Teachers.

Falling forest inspires rural artist Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The upstairs exhibit space at the Station House Gallery is hosting a unique and first solo art show of pieces created by Aki Yamamoto during May. A resident of the bush on the edge of Chilcotin country, the Japaneseborn artist says her show, A Forest Falls, is a reflection on the fact that the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests are in decline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees have been dying all around

us and falling over, and there has been lots of logging. When they log, they leave small stands and the trees just fall over. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been up for 15 years and this show is a slice of that experience.â&#x20AC;? Pointing to two carved pieces where fetal-positioned figures are enveloped inside, surrounded by the dark markings made by pine beetle near the bark, Yamamoto explains when her husband, Scott, was collecting firewood last fall, and cut the pine-beetle kill trees

into fire logs, they revealed interesting markings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He cut some slabs and we knew we wanted to make something. The more I looked at them I could see the figures in the pattern. I sanded them and carved them.â&#x20AC;? Yamamoto also produces woodblock oil monoprints, mostly carved out of beetle wood. The show features some of her woodblocks, and the prints she makes with them using oil paint. One woodblock depicts a figure

riding on a dragonfly. When asked what the piece represents, Yamamoto smiles, pushes her glasses up from her nose, and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;me,â&#x20AC;? with a shrug. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I feel sometimes,â&#x20AC;? she adds. A tiny collection of whimsical pieces, about six by four inches in size each, incorporate real mosquitoes. See TOOL Page A21

She also travelled through Southeast Asia, hiking in New Zealand, and woofing on sheep farms in Australia. Making good friends.

The documentary is on the issues of the “working poor,” says the introduction. “During meetings organized by filmmaker Geoff Bowie, six Ontarians talk about having to work multiple jobs to get by and courageously explain their strategies for escaping financial vulnerability. Courage is a participatory socialissues film that emphasizes the importance of mutual aid and succeeds in condemning the taboo of poverty.”

Her show runs at the gallery throughout the month of May. back to school where she attended Emily Carr and studied print making, photography and sculpture. Nagging in the back of her mind was living a simpler way, so in 1997 she sold everything she owned and together with her partner moved up to the Chilcotin, where she

learned first hand the ways of survival. These days she and her husband make tools and knives, under their business Cariboo Blades Tools and Knives, that they sell all over the world. “We make hunting knives and carving tools. It’s all custom work. We

just sent a set of carving tools to a customer in Spain. “Most of our customers are in the U.S., but we have some in Canada, Australia and Greece,” she says, adding she still finds it pretty amazing that’s how they earn a livelihood. The couple and their

nine-year-old son Kai rely totally on solar. Naturally the business slows in the winter so it’s a good time to create art. “I spent the winter thinking about this show. By last fall I knew the gallery had accepted my proposal so I had some time to prepare,” she says.

True beauty a lot more than skin deep Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer More than 120 Grade 7 girls from schools around Williams Lake participated in the Beauty from the Inside Out seminars held May 1-3 at St. John Lutheran Church. The seminars are designed to help Grade 7 girls make the transition from elementary school to high school a little easier and give them information to deal with some of the challenges ahead. “It helps prepare Grade 7s for high school,” says Courtney Burhke, a Grade 8 student at Columneetza, who helped with the seminars. “It’s a good way to prepare for the transition.” Burhke was one of 30 high school students who volunteered to help facilitate the program. Cataline Grade 7 students Sydney Baerg and Kimberly Hance agreed they learned a lot and the most fun they had was getting their temporary sparkle tattoos. Kimberly says the

She didn’t realize that before taking the seminar. Indeed the Beauty from the Inside Out workshops are designed to address some of the issues that may influence a girl’s decision to try smoking: her need to fit in with her peer group, her vulnerable self image, wavering self-es-

teem and her developing coping skills, says Denise Deschene, the schoolbased prevention worker with Interior Health. “Young women in our society are bombarded with a lot of images and messages about health and beauty,” says Deschene. “Tobacco advertising strategies suggest that happiness, pleasure,

popularity and sex appeal comes with smoking and we want to dispel these myths.” “In reality 50 per cent of teens who start smoking and continue to smoke will die from a tobacco related illness. In fact, tobacco kills more people than all other drugs combined. Girls entering high school are particularly vulnerable to starting to

Posters promote multiculturalism Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer There was a large turnout Tuesday for the annual Walk for Harmony celebrating the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. The walk started with opening remarks in Boitanio Park and ended in Spirit Square on Oliver Street where prizes were presented to students for the multiculturalism poster contest, music was

played, prayers were said and a wonderful lunch of ethnic diversity was served to students and other participants. Numerous community groups participated in putting on the event. The Grade 4-5 class at Kwaleen wore pink shirts to symbolize their commitment to ending bullying. Opening the walk in Boitanio Park the Grade 2 Chilcotin Road stu-

dents sang two songs in the Chilcotin language, Are You Sleeping, and the Lahal game song. They were taught the songs by their First Nations language teacher Annette Frank. In Spirit Square where the lunch was held prizes were also presented to winners in the local Canadian Mental Health Association’s poster contest to promote multiculturalism in the city. Alexandra Weiand, a Grade 7 student at Mountview elementary, won the grand prize of a mountain bike donated by Canadian Tire. “I was really surprised that I did win because I thought my poster was quite simple,” Alexandra says. The judges, however, were impressed with the simple impression of two hands of different colours shaking hands, against a backdrop of a globe, set between two outer bands of red resembling the Canadian flag. The poster also incorporated the words “Be the Change” and a small logo circle in red with a line through the word “Racism.” Students in Mount-

view elementary’s Grade 6 and 7 classes and Kwaleen elementary’s grades 4, 5, 6 and 7 students participated in the poster contest. Four scooters and other prizes were awarded to poster contest winners. All along the route the posters were on display in local businesses. The scooter winners include Grade 4 Kwaleen student Zeah Rusch; Grade 5 Mountview student Karena Sokolan; Grade 6 Mountview student Alisha Arnold; and Grade 7 Mountview student Kavelle Jeff. Smaller prizes donated by local businesses were presented to students who won honourable mention for their posters. Honourable mention awards went to Kwaleen Grade 5 student Tanner Dyck; Kwaleen Grade 4 student Wyatt Jacobson; and Kwaleen Grade 4 students Jerika Meldrum and Ali Waterhouse who created their poster together; Mountview Grade 6 student Miche’Lyn Whitfort; Mountview Grade 6 student Morgan Weingart; and Mountview Grade 7 student Jasmin Johnson.

smoke and our goal is to keep them tobacco free.” Through games, fun activities, and presentations the girls learned about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise, reinforced with some belly dancing exercises, and healthy snacks. Columneetza cooking students made chocolate squares to go with the pizza and fruit smoothies. Students learned about managing stress, relaxation, cellphone and Internet safety, safe dating, positive self-talk, peer helpers and more. There was a display about how too much exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and the importance of wearing sun screen. The girls painted each other’s nails, helped each other put on temporary sparkle tattoos, made worry bead bracelets, had hand massages, and

painted cloth carrying bags with their own art work to take home. They also went home with a folder of important information on how to Make Every Date a Safe Date, Internet safety guidelines for parents and caregivers, a copy of the Canada Food Guide, a beauty risk quiz, and a physical activity guide. Some of the cards in the folder provided reassurance with slogans such as: “There is not one right body size shape or weight” and “We will love our bodies, not someone else’s image” and “I am me.” One note in the portfolio notes that the Maasai people in Kenya believe that true beauty is defined by our attitude. Deschene also offers tips about how parents can talk to their kids about tobacco and other drugs. • Tell them how you

feel about smoking. Even if you’re a smoker talk honestly about your experience and what you want for them. • Don’t do all the talking; listen and read between the lines. • Don’t threaten, badger or put your kid on the spot by asking directly about their use, they may lie which undermines your purpose. The Beauty from the Inside Out program is provided with funding from the Women’s Contact Society and School District 27 Community Links Funding, and inkind assistance from the Boys and Girls Club, Caribou Brain Injury Society, Leisure Services, Interior Health, and peer helpers from WLSS, CSS and Skyline schools.

DFO funds new signs at Horsefly Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has provided funding for some signage at the boat launch area on the Horsefly River in Horsefly. The funding will also purchase directional signs for use on the highway during the Salmon Festival, and repair the sign damaged last year by vandals. The funding was discussed during the roundtable meeting held in the Horsefly Library April 19. The next roundtable meeting is coming up Thursday, May 17 at the library in Horsefly starting at 7 p.m. We have CRD funding to continue working on wheelchair accessibil-

ity to the Salmon Trails as well as the river. The idea of using a used conveyor belt from the mining industry has been put forward, and it will need DFO approval to go ahead. Doug Turvey from DFO will be contacted regarding signage to restrict motor-bike access to the Salmon Trail, and blocking access to the trail from the east side of the channel. The dirt bike activity on the trail has pretty well destroyed any improvements made last year. The recent high winds have knocked down a lot of trees, and some serious cleanup and dangertree clearing must be done prior to the tourist season. The plans for field

work prescriptions for the various projects in the watershed have been drawn up and the needed funding to complete them is in the process of being applied for. The Salmon Festival plans are almost complete. The square dance is being moved ahead to Friday night; vendors are being contacted; brochures are being designed for self guided tours; inquiries are being made already by some schools, in particular the community of Nazko. The roundtable used to find funds to pay for busing the students, but funding difficulties make this no longer possible. There is still some funding left for at least four fish-related pieces of art to be used at our

annual festival. If you are an artist with an idea, please contact Maureen LeBourdais regarding the format. The Fisheries Sensitive Designation is still not released to the general public, although the background report is in the public domain. There has been discussion on having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salmon Egg Raceâ&#x20AC;? during the Salmon Festival this fall and whether to celebrate Rivers Day on Sept. 30. The group discussed proposals to eliminate the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;habitatâ&#x20AC;? from wording in the environmental act. While members had different opinions on the proposal it was acknowledged the roundtable itself should stay out of this type of politics.

“They call the Cariboo home” Jack Simpson — a true fly fisherman Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Jack Simpson considers it his duty to pass along what he knows to those willing to take the time to learn. That’s the way he learned how to fly fish, and that’s the way he intends to perpetuate the “science,” as he calls it. “Ask and ye shall receive,” says Simpson, a 68-year-old fly fisherman sporting an unbridled confidence many anglers could only dream of having. “Lots of times people have come within 100 feet of my boat and said: ‘Mind if I come over and pick your brain?’ I say, nope. Let’s do this.” His interest in fly fishing began at a young age. He was raised in the Chilcotin near Tatla Lake, so the opportunity to fish was never in question. That changed, however, on his 17th birthday. “I left when I was 17 to go into the military in 1961,” Simpson says, noting he flew radial-engined prop planes for the Canadian and U.S. militaries. “Following that my 10-year career in the military had led me into civilian life in Vancouver and out around the Vancouver area.” In 1973 Simpson met his thento-be wife, Grace Simpson, who now works at Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake campus as the campus co-ordinator. “When we got married a year later we decided if we were going to raise kids we really didn’t want to do it in Vancouver,” he says. “When the opportunity came to move back to Williams Lake [in 1979] it was a no brainer with what we wanted to do with raising a family.” That’s when he started to get back into fly fishing. However, all the while raising two children, Simpson never really had time to be as “obsessive” as he is now about the sport. “It was probably about 25 years ago, maybe more, when I kind of reinvigorated my interest in fly fishing and I’ve been doing

Lakecity fly fisherman Jack Simpson strings a rod during a casting course last Saturday at Thompson Rivers University, Williams Lake campus. it ever since,” Simpson says. That reinvigoration now consists of tying flies, building rods, selling rods, discovering secret lakes and teaching his craft to anyone willing to put in the work to learn the sport properly. Learning to become a true fly fisherman came by chance, Simpson recalls. “I was fortunate enough to acquire probably one of the finest fly fishing teachers in the whole world purely by accident through a chance meeting at what was then a Cariboo College Christmas function in Kamloops,” he says. “I met a guy who was standing over in the corner and not part of the academic conversation. There was this tall, slim, Asian guy there whose wife worked at Cariboo College and we struck up a conversation and we’ve been good friends ever since.” That was Brian Chan — one of the most distinguished fly fisherman not only in B.C., but the world. Chan, who lives in Kam-

loops, spent many years working as a professional fisheries biologist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment and many years with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., has written several books and been featured in film, TV shows and magazines throughout the world. “He was so free to pass on information and hints and stuff,”

Simpson says. “If you could commit yourself to learn he’d help every step of the way if he could.” The knowledge passed down to Simpson has, in turn, come full circle to the point where Simpson now hosts regular casting seminars and fly-tying sessions. “I now build rods,” he says. “That’s sort of the progression if you’re truly obsessed. The epitome of it is to tie one of your own, original flies, build a rod and then catch a fish with that combination. Simpson has a basement room where he builds rods professionally, plus a room upstairs he uses for fly tying and other activities. “I built 26 rods this past winter,” he notes. Simpson insists, however, the industry and rod builders are now more concerned with instant gratification. That is, allowing a person to walk into a store, buy a rod, reel and line, walk out the door, head to a lake, and send out a 60-foot cast. “The primary thing is looking cool and that’s where the fly rod industry has directed their efforts is to the instant gratification,” he says. “Those people then develop the perception of, ‘Well, I don’t have to learn anymore.’” That’s where Simpson becomes selective about who he’s willing to share his vast amount

Williams Lake fly fisherman Jack Simpson seldom heads out to a lake without his trusty pontoon boat and, of course, multiple rods, reels and fly fishing supplies.

of knowledge with. “Real fly fishing is about entomology, about fish habitat, about species or strain, about eating habits, and it goes on and on,” he says. “It’s a lifetime pursuit of learning.” Simpson says he fishes about 80 to 120 days of the year. However, he doesn’t simply arrive at a lake, dump in his pontoon boat and head out. He starts by doing research. “It starts the day before,” he says. “It’s redoing the research on that lake — refreshing my memory of the bathometrics (depth and drop-offs), the strain of rainbows that have been stocked because each strain has a particular habitat that they prefer and a particular food supply that they prefer. Then I go out. “In the good, old Brian Chan tradition I probably stand at the shore and open my eyes, see what’s going on, see what the birds are doing — because the birds are a clue, especially swallows and those type of bird — and if they’re swooping down and going along the surface then I know there is a chironomid hatch going on.” All simple things, Simpson insists, but things that need to be done in order to fish properly. Simpson also runs his own company, Sandpiper Fly Fishing, and recently began supplying some of his own stock, and other professional manufacturers stock, at Blue Mountain Gun Smithing and Sales on Mackenzie Avenue in Williams Lake. “What’s also happened this last month is I was asked to join the professional staff for 3M, Scientific Angler and Ross fly reels and rods,” he says. “That entails being sent whole bunches of good stuff to give them objective input, to try out new products and to promote their good products to my circle of influence.” For inquiries or for more information contact Simpson at sandpiperflyfishing@gmail.com.
