Robbery in park

VOL. 82. No. 47

Cyclist and vehicle collide

Ticket to ride

Two young people were robbed in Boitanio Park Wednesday night.

At about 8 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a report of a robbery that occurred near the skateboard park .

Police say two young males were approached by four teenaged males who aggressively demanded a coat and other clothing articles from the youths. Out of fear of being assaulted, the property was handed over.

The suspects then fled.

The RCMP attended and after a search of the area located the four suspects nearby.

All four suspects are known to police. One was subsequently arrested for robbery and will appear in court at a later date.

A vehicle and a cyclist collided Saturday afternoon.

Shortly after noon, the RCMP responded to the incident and determined the driver was making a right hand turn from Second Avenue onto Cameron Street, when a cyclist who was going straight collided with the right front quarter panel of the vehicle.

RCMP say the driver was not at fault and no charges are being contemplated. The cyclist was taken to the hospital, but later released. *** Over the weekend, the RCMP also responded to multiple reports of break ins into vehicles in various areas of the city. RCMP say areas targeted were the Fraser Inn, Cariboo Memorial Hospital, and Pigeon and 11th avenues. Two suspects were arrested after a foot chase. Both are being held in custody, pending hearings before a Justice of the Peace.

Two injured in stabbing incident Two people received medical attention following an incident involving a knife and bear spray Saturday night.

At about 8 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to complaint that there was a male with a

knife and another with bear spray near the 300 block area of Proctor Street.

When police arrived, the suspects were gone, but one individual connected with the incident was located at Cariboo Memorial Hos-

pital with stab wounds to the leg and chest.

The second male also attended the hospital, with a knife wound to the hand and bear spray contamination.

Both males, however, received

non-life threatening injuries.

RCMP say one male was taken into custody but later released without charge.

Police say neither party would cooperate with the police and charges are not being contemplated.

Timber supply meeting next month Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Columbia Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald says the Legislative Special Committee on Midterm Timber Supply will hold its public meeting in Williams Lake on July 5 from 4 to 9 p.m.

“We’ve wrapped up our meetings and there will be some more work done by the ministry staff, and information added to the website,” Macdonald says, adding upcoming discussions with communities, First

Nations and local leaders that take place over the next few months will really only be the beginning of discussions.

“Many of the issues that are being raised are big issues and communities really have to authentically be empowered to address them,” he says.

Macdonald adds the process has been interesting, as committee members “get their head around the challenges communities face.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett says staff did a good

job of giving the panel technical briefings.

“If we don’t understand what’s there, then we never will because staff did a very good job. We’ve known this was coming since 2006, and people that have been involved had a very good idea about the projections out there.”

The task now will be to take the options to the community, public, and stakeholders, and listen to what they have to say, and go back and make a report.

Written submissions are also an

option and as of Friday, Barnett has already been forwarded one written submission from chair John Rustad.

“People are very interested,” she says. “This is a very complex issue and something that has to be addressed. From my perspective we’re there to listen with an open mind and take it from there. Who knows what will happen in the end?” she says.

The meeting date for 100 Mile House is July 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and for Quesnel July 6 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Three hundred pot plants seized Police seized about 300 marijuana plants from a residence near Williams Lake Tuesday.

Members from the North District Integrated Marijuana Enforcement Task Force (NDIME) and the Williams Lake detachment executed a search warrant regarding a theft of electricity occurring at a property on Mikulasik Road, off Fox Mountain Road.

“Upon attendance, police located a marijuana grow operation inside the residence,”

says Const. Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer.

“A p p r o x i m a t e l y 300 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were located and seized along with growing equipment and evidence to support the theft of electricity.”

RCMP arrested a 40-year-old female and a 41-year-old male who were living at the residence. Both adults are facing a number of charges including theft of telecommuni-

cations (electricity), production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. The couple will be making their first court appearance in Williams Lake on Sept.

19. The investigation is part of the Marijuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strategy to combat marijuana grow operations and the organized crime groups running them in our communities.

Anti-Drug Strategy, visit www.nationalantidrugstrategy.gc.ca. *** Undergarments may have been stolen Police have found several pairs of women’s undergarments they believe to be stolen.

The Williams Lake RCMP used a search warrant at a residence May 22 where they recovered various articles of stolen property. Several of those items were traced back to a break and enter of

a residence that occurred May 21.

Included in the recovered items were several pairs of women’s undergarments that may have come from another break and enter. The Williams Lake RCMP are looking for assistance in identifying the outstanding owners of these undergarments.

Anyone who is missing the items matching this description is encouraged to contact Const. Pinfold at the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Union works to restrict raw-log exports Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake City Council is interested in learning more from the United Steelworkers about its campaign to restrict the volume of raw logs leaving B.C. and to create more B.C. jobs using BC resources.

At its regular meeting Tuesday, council received a letter from the USW outlining the union’s efforts in the campaign. “We have argued that raw logs kill jobs in B.C. communities by reducing the availability of logs to BC wood manufacturers,” writes USW director Stephen Hunt in the letter.

The union’s wood council chair Robert Matters says the union has met with govern-

ment, but has not heard anything back directly.

“They indicated that they understood our concerns and that they were not happy with the current situation themselves.

“They thought they were going to be ready to have some proposed changes, but we haven’t heard anything yet,” Matters explains.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations Cariboo Region confirms there are no raw logs presently being exported from the Cariboo region.

A ministry spokesperson says there is presently an ongoing review of the log-export policy, with submissions from various stakeholders, including the USW. It has been ongoing since July 2011, but “be-

cause it’s one of those complicated issues and something that no one can come to an agreement on, it’s taking a little bit longer than anticipated. It’s ongoing and no final decisions have been made.”

In the meantime, the USW continues with its efforts to gain support from city councils around the province and to raise the issue wherever it can.

“Communities generally understand the issue is pretty simple.

It’s about saving jobs and job creation. From that perspective there’s very little dispute about whether or not to protect those,” Matters says.

The USW told the government if it has to export logs, especially from communities that no longer have sawmills, it should use that

income stream to facilitate manufacturing investment.

“We could support that kind of concept if it was going to lead to further job creation,” he adds.

At Tuesday’s city council meeting Coun.

Surinderpal Rathor, who has worked in the sawmill industry for more than 27 years and is a member of the USW, said he was concerned about the issue.

“We have to do something. I would appreciate a resolution coming forward from this council. The province is being affected by this,” Rathor said, echoing Matters’ concern that if the Asian markets can purchase raw logs why will they buy lumber?

Rathor told the other council members he wants to take action be-

Youth, businesses attend aboriginal job fair Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Former Tsi Del Del (Redstone) chief Ervin Charleyboy wants to know where young people are coming from and how they see things.

Speaking at the opening of the First Nations Youth Opportunity Fair held at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus on June 7, Charleyboy said he organized the fair for local high school students because he wants them to see what economic opportunities are out there.

“Some day you young people will be adults supporting your own families,” Charleyboy said. “I’m looking at 20 to 30 years down the road and wonder where you’re going to be. I read about protests and I think they’re not going to get you anywhere. I think with protests people are reacting to what the government is doing instead of being proactive. We have to be proactive in how we see things done in this country.”

Charleyboy, however, also encouraged the students to speak out and let their leaders know what they are thinking.

“If you hold back, it’s not going to get you anywhere. I’m not afraid to speak up and stand up for what I believe,” he said.

Around 40 students from Columneetza and

Williams Lake high schools participated in the fair.

Before interacting with the students informally at tables set around the gym, representatives from Aqua Drilling, Beamac Installations, Brandt Tractor, Cariboo GM, D&S Electric, ONetrix Solutions, Spruce Lee Construction, and Taseko Mines Ltd. addressed the students, explaining the nature of their businesses.

“Our youth is probably one of the most important assets we have in this town,” Beamac manager Mark Nairn said.

Nairn shared his own experiences, including the fact he “barely squeaked” through high school, hated the experience and hated being there.

It was his father who pushed him hard and told him he had to be there and go on to do something with his life — go to school or take up a trade.

“Out of a class of 300 people I was the only one or two that took up trades, but once I got into school and started seeing the opportunities, I did really well and was actually at the top of my class.”

Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison talked about the expansion of Gibraltar Mine and the resulting 270 construction jobs added to the existing 500

Michelle Myers, Naomi Setah, Larissa Myers and Taylor Myers go over building plans with Brad Thiessen of Spruce Lee Construction at the First Nations Youth Opportunity Fair. that are already there.

“We need young people to come and work for Taseko Mines and we particularly need people from local communities.

I’m talking generally about the western communities, out west,” Battison said, adding hopefully some of those jobs will be taken by some of the students sitting in the bleachers.

Looking around with a smile, Hank Unrau of Aqua Drilling said he was definitely the oldest worker in the room.

His company is comprised of four workers, but as the economy picks up he anticipates

the company will need more.

“I’ve been working in the Cariboo for 61 years and it’s always kept me employed. I found at a very young age, with minimal education, your number one asset is your reputation. You must earn a reputation of being a reliable and conscientious employee. Once you’ve done that, you’ll always have a job. Plan on it,” Unrau told the students.

At his table, Brad Thiessen of Spruce Lee Construction shared building plans with students.

The first group at his table were five girls and

he told them when he was in the construction program at TRU, half of the students in his class were women.

“We always need new faces on our job sites because young people always bring new enthusiasm and ideas to our work sites. We have 20 workers — 10 of those are journeymen carpenters and the rest are apprentices or labourers.”

Lorne Doerkson of Cariboo GM brought along a 2006 Denali truck for students to see first hand and many of them took turns sitting inside.

“About a week ago we

hired a young lady by the name of June Lulua to help us to communicate with a totally different buyer. Buyers used to come into our showroom and talk to us about cars.

They come in now and are extremely educated and telling us the price of a vehicle, not us telling them.”

Sometimes customers have looked at the dealership’s website at 2 a.m. and applied for a credit application, which means business is changing, Doerkson added.

John Kloosterman, parts manager of Brandt Tractor, encouraged the students to stick with a

positive attitude.

“There is opportunity out there. You need to go after it because it doesn’t come to you. If you’re hanging around people that are negative, maybe you should find some new friends.”

Apprenticeships take three to five years, Kloosterman said, suggesting that time will go by, so it’s worthwhile spending time doing something that’s rewarding.

Rick Bell of O-Netrix explained his company supports industry from the carpet up.

“We’re the people that come in behind and support the people that do everything else. There are lots of career opportunities because technology is everywhere these days,” Bell said.

Don Erikson of D&S Electric told the students the people that trained him are getting on in years and he’s determined its his turn to train young people.

“If you have any questions I’m here to try and help you figure out how to get into the trades and start your future,” he said.

As he watched the students interact with the various industry people, Charleyboy looked content.

“It’s a good start,” he said, adding he’s hoping to form an aboriginal youth council.

Repairs come to Tweedsmuir roads and bridges Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Roads and bridges washed out by flood and storm damage in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park are beginning to be repaired.

B.C. Parks is hiring project managers to re-

pair and replace all damaged and destroyed facilities in South Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.

“The first contract will go to replacing the washed-out bridge at Young Creek on the historic Tote Road,” says Wes Dearmond, area supervisor for South

Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.

The park remains open to visitors and work will begin later this month with no disruptions to day-use or camping activities.

“Project managers will also be hired to complete repairs to the hiking trail

and suspension bridge to Hunlen Falls and the Turner Lake Canoe Chain,” Dearmond adds.

Visitors to the park will not have access to Tote Road until September, and repairs to the trail and suspension bridge access to Hunlen Falls will not be com-

pleted until spring 2013.

“Other damaged facilities will be assessed and have engineering repair designs completed by this fall and works are expected to begin in the spring of 2013,” Dearmond says.

Each year the park normally received be-

tween 15,000 to 20,000 visitors, with most visitors arriving via Highway 20.

It’s the back-country areas of the park that see less use. Historically the park has received flood damage because of spring freshet and fall flooding, both com-

mon occurrences in the Bella Coola Valley, although Dearmond adds the park is also prone to coastal floods given its geographic proximity to coastal weather systems, and the recent beetle kill and fire damaged forest in the high ridges and plateaus.

WL firefighters attend more MVIs than in 2010 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city council received a service delivery review of its fire department.

The review is the first of an ongoing initiative by the city to critically examine its departments.

Broken down into sections, the report, presented to council members last week, critically looks at emergency response, operational needs, inspections, emergency planning, and administration, and makes a number of recommendations.

While the number of incidents and personnel hours has remained consistent over the past five years, due to a 2009 change in the way types of calls are dispatched, overall personnel hours were reduced in 2010 and 2011.

However, personnel hours in assisting BC Ambulance Services and motor vehicle incidents

have more than doubled in 2010 and 2011.

As a result, the review points out that the fire department should consult with the RCMP and BCAS on the requirement for the fire department to respond to motor vehicle incidents and implement a group page system for such incidents to reduce the number of members responding to MVI pages.

Under operational needs there are recommendations to provide hose testing services to the Cariboo Regional District fire departments for a fee, to compare rates of other fire departments for air bottle filling, offer training programs for a fee, and to possibly develop a position for equipment maintenance and assist with inspections.

Some councillors voiced concern that by receiving the report they would be endorsing the recommendations in the report. After the discussion, however, council

passed a motion to receive the report with a clarification by receiving the report, council was not giving its acceptance for an increase in service levels.

Annually the fire department conducts on average 250 to 300 inspections; however, that number should be closer to 800 inspections per year.

Times for inspections run between 15 and 20 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the building and the number of questions the building manager might have.

Coun. Sue Zacharias described the report as interesting and encouraged members of the public to read the report.

“There will be other departments that will undergo service delivery reviews. It’s a good thing because it’s very interesting and really gives you an idea of the scope of what a department does,” Zacharias said.

Council approves hiring group to brand the city Council approved the hiring of the Taiji Brand Group to complete a place brand project for the City of Williams Lake at a fee not in excess of $45,000.

As part of the Business Expansion and Attraction Strategy the city identified the need to complete a place brand for the community. A professional brand and associated subbrands will be used to reinforce the city’s commitment to the retention and attraction of business and skilled workers, and being a healthy, sustainable community where people want to live, work and visit.

Computer cheque listings on agendas Council approved the reinstatement of the process of placing the accounts payable listings of computer cheques on the regular council agendas for information.

Council awards engineering contract Council awarded the

contract for engineering services for the Airport Airfield Electrical Rehabilitation Project to Genivar Inc. bid amount of $89,105, excluding HST. The engineering firm will provide a design and cost estimates to upgrade the airfield electrical system and complete the Airport Capital Assistance program application.

Families a priority

Let’s hope advocate is outspoken

O

A

goodly crowd attended last week’s meeting with Ombudsman Kim Carter.

If Ms. Carter’s 176 recommendations are implemented, life will be better for many seniors and their families, but it would be overly optimistic to expect quick action. Governments tend not to react to such reports with much speed, but there is one difference with this one. Grey power. Is it a myth? Or a force to be reckoned with? I guess we’ll see.

Cariboo Regional French District Connection directors Joan Diana French Sorely a n d Bryon Kemp were among attendees.

I didn’t notice any city councillors.

The Clark government has agreed to appoint a seniors’ advocate. Let’s hope that person is as outspoken as children’s advocate Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. *** BC Hydro held an open house in Prince George last week to discuss its Integrated Resource Plan. As president of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, I was invited by phone to participate. The call came the day before the event which didn’t give me time to read the plan, never mind get myself to Prince George. I would have liked to have attended because according to a number of articles in the mainstream media recently (by Vaughn Palmer, economists Erik Andersen and Marvin Shaffer and others) what used to be B.C.’s pride and joy is not doing well. There are a number of reasons, the huge deferred debt being one, but the critics cite poor government policies. Anyone wishing to see the plan or comment can Google BC Hydro Integrated Resource Plan.

If you aren’t on the Internet you can phone. *** The consultants from Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants Ltd. (PERC) were here over the weekend getting input on what people want for a swimming pool.

The show-and-tell sessions were held in places where crowds gathered so many had a chance to participate.

The consultants will be back with a revised plan for another look.

Our Viewpoint

Way to go, grads Congratulations 2012 graduates!

You made it through a whole five years of high school and are well on your way to being successful adults. You already are role models for the next group of students who will wear the robes of honour next year.

On Thursday, students from GROW graduated, and on Saturday, Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary students took their turn bidding farewell to high school and welcoming in the new stage of adulthood — of course, students from Maranatha Christian School and the Cariboo Adventist Academy are also graduating, so congrats to them as well.

I had the opportunity to attend the Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary graduations on Saturday and, as usual, was impressed that so many of them earned bursaries, scholarships, and

awards, and many more were listed on the honour roll and work ethic lists.

The addresses from the Columneetza and WLSS valedictorians offered some words of wisdom Saturday. Columneetza valedictorian Ryan Jensen thanked his teachers for their hard work. “Everybody here, everybody, has had that teacher or staff member that has gone the extra mile for them, not because they had to, but because they wanted to,� Jensen said.

WLSS valedictorian Sam Tudor said: “The world is changing, more than ever, there’s no doubt about that in my mind. It’s a stereotype, but when you look around you realize we really do have it now, in our hands, the chance to shape a planet we want to see.�

Congratulations to all 2011 graduates. We wish you all of the best in your future endeavors.

ur government has made significant progress putting families first over the past year, and we will do more. We know every family wants to have the opportunity to grow, prosper and live in a safe community. Most recently, MLA Premier Christy Musings Clark anDonna Barnett nounced changes to our income and disability assistance programs. The changes, most of which will come into effect later this year, include increased earning exemptions for all income and disability assistance clients, asset increases across the board and better harmonization of policies with other jurisdictions across Canada. The changes also include expanding work search requirements by an extended period from three weeks to five weeks. And we are introducing mandatory tax filing for income assistance recipients to ensure families can receive every benefit available to them. A good paying, stable and secure job is one of the most important contributions to a healthy, happy and strong family.

Our government wants to ensure the most vulnerable are treated with dignity and respect. These changes will help families avoid the cycle of income assistance dependency but at the same time ensure those who need services get them. More ideas and actions will be put forward to support our commitment to supporting families in B.C. These family-first initiatives, part of the Families First agenda, will help support vulnerable families and provide them with the supports and tools they need to help participate more fully in their communities. The challenges that B.C. families face are linked to the issues we face together as a society: keeping the cost of government affordable; an aging population; affordable housing and services; protecting vulnerable families and children; and ensuring safe streets and communities. We are addressing these issues with fresh ideas and steadfast determination.

We have built this plan on our commitment to a balanced budget and prudent fiscal management. Our government is committed to making sure all British Columbians can fully benefit and participate in our growing and thriving economy.

Jobs, families and open government are our government’s three priorities.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Help TRU event a successful fundraiser preserve watershed Editor:

Editor: Help preserve the vital Taseko River watershed.  The “human� work we do to sustain and improve civilization must rest on a secure and healthy biosphere.

This “hyped� economic development is part of a global unprincipled ideology driving this aggressively massive industrial expansion in the middle of this pristine Taseko River watershed.

Expansion and development for “economic benefitsâ€? over ecological degradation must stop. Like a dangerously unrestrained aggressive fifth stage global cancer ‌ our global biosphere’s health to sustain us is fatally being compromised.

It is easy to be “blinded� to our aggressive degradation of our biosphere.

We are really a global minority working for the top one per cent to 10 per cent still striving to reap an unfair global advantage ‌ still striving to be overwhelmingly‌ stupefyingly‌ wealthier than the rest of humanity ‌ the 90 per cent to 99 per cent rest of us.

Unlimited economic expansion is the foundation of our exponential growth since the 18th century.

Unlimited exponential global growth is unsustainable on this finite planet. We are beyond its limits. It is easy to deny that we are “living� on the edge of the collapse of our “Western� civilization.  It is hard to look into the abyss of tipping and breaking points shown to us by scientists: climatologists, ecologists, ecological economists, land and marine biologists.  We are on the edge.

A difficult demise or a difficult cure lies within this truth. It is hard to reckon with the consequences of destroying our biosphere’s ability to sustain our organized “humanâ€? communities. Time has run out. In our fully dreamy distracted lives ‌ we need awareness of this truth.

Fully understand and respect a healthy “radicalâ€? global environment that all our lives depend on ‌ or not. You decide.

We compromise our own dearly loved ones ‌ the future of our own families ‌ as we compromise the integrity of this pristine Taseko River watershed.

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

Thompson Rivers University, our local university, recently held a very successful fundraising event.

It was the first of what is to become an annual event to raise funds for bursaries to help local students partially offset their cost of secondary education at our local university.

This was the main purpose of the celebrated gala and it exceed-

ed the goal of $30,000 set by the organizing group.

The final accounts are nearly completed and the actual total will be close to $37,500.

Thank you to the donors and sponsors, and thank you to the dozens of volunteers who worked tirelessly and in a short timeframe.

Their efforts successfully provided financial means, as well as a wonderful evening of entertainment and great fellowship for the

supporters who attended.

Our co-chairs David Hall and Betty Turatus put together committees that knew the importance of the cause and knew how to get it done.

What an amazing example of volunteers and community coming together.

Several local students will now have incentive to continue their education and enrollment in our local TRU. Increased enrollment will help our goals to make TRU a

bigger and better university in our own city.

Every participant should be proud of their hard work and success and the realization of what really happened for TRU and the future for students, and our local economy. The assurance that we will continue to be a university city now and in the future is our primary goal.

Focus needs to be on achieving healthy forests and healthy communities Editor: Over the last 20 years, British Columbians have witnessed two starkly different approaches to managing the province’s forest resources — a focus on forest stewardship (1990s) with a series of initiatives emphasizing land-use planning, greater public involvement in forest management decisions and increased public investments in the forests followed by 12 years of a focus on short-term economics with reduced resourcing for long-term maintenance of the forest asset.

Some complain the first approach was far too prescriptive and amounted to regulatory overkill, while critics of the latter say government is capitulating to entrenched business interests. Either way the critics have their points.

If both approaches had or have their faults, where should we go from here? We must ensure the result will be healthy forests to lay the foundation for healthy, resilient communities.

Many Interior communities are confronting a mounting “timber supply� crisis. The fact a shortage in commercially desirable trees

nears is incontestable. However, does a recently unveiled response by government make sense?

It considers easing or eliminating various non-timber resourcebased constraints on logging in an effort to soften the economic blow, but only to a relatively small extent according to a recent government staff analysis, and at what future cost? Could temporarily holding onto some jobs now by propping up unsustainable logging rates mean even greater environmental and economic pain in the years ahead?

Quite frankly the process places

the cart before the horse. We need to focus on how do we achieve healthy forests and healthy communities?

A 10-year investment strategy is required that includes initially a provincial forest vision, a mechanism for communities to be involved in forest decisions and a commitment by government to provide stable funding for inventories, research and monitoring.

No incentive to recycle cans or to make money Editor: All we hear these days is reduce, reuse, recycle, green planet, etc.

I grew up with the ethic of work hard, make money.

I spent Wednesday hiking Dog

Creek Road for four hours collecting empties.

No sense in going to Amanda Enterprises as it pays cut rate.

I brought my empties to the liquor store and was sent packing because my cans were dirty.

I am living in a rooming house. I have nowhere to clean them. I tried to clean the planet, work hard, and make some lunch money but I quit.

I hope all in Williams Lake ends up to their waists in empty beer cans, as there is just no incentive to

recycle them, work hard, or make money.

It was easier to make money at this when I was five than it is at 45.

Fifth annual Pedal by the Puddle rides on

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Tuesday, June 12 Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club meet and greet The Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club is inviting anyone interested to attend a meet and greet evening at the Ottoman Drive rugby fields tonight. High school students, as well as their families, are invited up to the fields starting at 6 p.m. to have dinner and snacks, play some touch rugby with the Rustlers men’s team and Hustlers ladies’ team and get to know the players.

This year’s Fifth Annual Pedal by the Puddle enduro ride played host to 135 riders from around the province, plus 35 more youngsters who took part in a shortened version of the race. Here, riders embark from the start loop. For full story see Thursday’s Tribune.

BC High School Rodeo Finals showcase talent Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For the second time in as many years the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals rode into Williams Lake on the weekend combining the top rodeo athletes from the north and south.

Up for grabs was an opportunity to advance to the National Finals Rodeo and the Canadian Finals Rodeo, both being held later this summer.

The top four in each event earned a berth at nationals (Rock Springs, Wy., July 15-21) while the top five landed a spot at Canadians (Virden, Man., Aug 2-4).

From the Williams Lake area Matt Armes (saddle bronc, steer wrestling, calf roping and team roping), JaimeDean Macdonald (goat tying), Kate Barnett (cutting), Chad Braaten (cutting, calf roping and team roping) and Madison Smith (barrel racing) competed.

For some the rodeo, which ran Thursday to Sunday at the Williams Lake Stampede grounds, provided an opportunity to advance their careers — the hopes of potential future scholarships and bursaries on the line — while for others, the rodeo finished with disappointment.

For Armes, the rodeo couldn’t have ended on a better note. His third go in steer wrestling brought the crowd to its feet and he stood,

Sunday, June 24 KidSport Classic

Greg Sabatino photo

Matt Armes (right) prepares to wrestle down his steer Sunday at the BC High School Rodeo Finals. Armes finished in 7.1 seconds, good enough for third place on the day and fifth overall. with a 7.1-second run, third on the day — good enough for fifth overall and a spot at Canadians.

Armes, 16 and in Grade 11 still with another year of competition to go in his high school career, also split third and fourth place in saddle bronc riding, qualifying him for both Canadians and nationals. “Today [Sunday] was my best day,� Armes said. “I’m pretty happy with it.�

However, Armes said he’s unsure whether he’ll travel to both Canadians and nationals. “It’s kind of undecided,� he said.

“If I make it in steer wrestling [for both] I’ll probably go. Right now I’m in the bronc riding so I might see if I can throw my gear bag in with someone else and go with them. It’s a big effort by everybody to go. It depends on who’s got rides where and who can take how many horses and all that.�

Armes, competing in just his second year of rodeo, added he hopes to qualify for both rodeos next year in his Grade 12 season. “Next year I’ll be a bit more honed at my skills and I’ll be able to compete a little bit better on the Cana-

dian level whereas nationals we’re competing against guys who are 21 going right into the pros.�

150 Mile House cowboy Braaten, in cutting, took second on day one, third on day two and third on day three. He also finished ninth in calf roping on his first go, followed up with a fourth-place finish in go two.

Braaten also split fourth and fifth in team roping during the second rodeo performance.

Barnett ended up ninth in cutting on both days one and two.

For more results and overall finishes see Thursday’s Tribune.

Following the review numerous awards were presented to the cadets and adult volunteers. Displays and refreshments followed. The colour party was also a combined group with Sgt.

Horsefly River Roundtable busy Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune The Horsefly River Roundtable meeting in May was a real eye-opener with many people in attendance at the Horsefly library and many issues discussed.

• Repairs to the sign damaged by the grads last June will be done.

• The Department of Fisheries and Oceans sponsored Public Involvement program for $5,000 was received, with $1,500 being ear marked for conference calls on meeting nights, some for restoration and watershed planning, and the remainder for trail repairs.

• Funding was approved for our co-ordinator.

• The salmon trail was discussed at length, with the new idea of using a used conveyer belt from the mining industry on the centre of the path (about four feet wide), as well as a strip of sevenfoot wide belt to the edge of the water up by the boat launch area to allow access for a disabled person.

It could also be used to back down with a trailer.

It only remains to be approved by DFO supervisor Don Lawrence.

• $5,000 was received to repair the Salmon Walk from the BC Rehabilitation fund.

• The field work prescription planning for the previously identified projects has been completed; it only remains to secure adequate funding.

A new problem occurred on Kroener Creek

which was determined to be from natural causes after investigation.

• The Salmon Festival discussion was deferred since Maureen LeBourdais was not present.

• The cottonwood trees were discussed, as they are a hazard once again to anyone using the campsite.

DFO is responsible. It was suggested there may be funding through sockeye enumeration funding via First Nations.

• The equipment operators workshop was a success by all accounts with about 11 people attending.

• The Goldfield Presentation was discussed.

The roundtable will be arranging for a tour in the near future.

• The Farmland Riparian Interface Stewardship Plan was discussed, and it seems there is more funding in the works.

• There are fencing materials available through DFO for set-back barriers to keep livestock out of the water.

This includes barbwire, posts, staples, etc.

Preference is given to those with an Environmental Farm Plan.

• There were two First Nations representatives present, and the net fishing last year in Quesnel Lake was discussed in some small part, but mostly deferred until Gordon Sterritt is able to be present.

Sterritt is head of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council.

The roundtable feels it should have been consulted prior to the fishery.

A suggestion was made that perhaps First Nations and DFO could work together in maintaining the spawning channel, and diverting some sockeye into the channel every year in an attempt to build up some stock to develop an “Economic In-River Fishery.”

Sterritt will be at our next meeting on June 21.

• The Horsefly Seniors Activity and Wellness Society will be having a • • • • • •

Salmon Egg Race at our Salmon Festival.

• There was no comment from DFO regarding the change to the wording in the fishery act regarding the word “habitat.”

A senior representative will attend our next meeting in June to answer questions.

The following is a link to a one-hour presentation by Alexandra Morton on how fish farms are impacting our wild salmon: http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=veP67zwBh8. The next roundtable meeting will be on June 21 at 7 p.m. at the Horsefly Library.
