Missing woman found deceased
2012 stampede queen is crowned
The Alexis Creek RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance with a missing person’s case. On May 24, 2012 Alexis Creek RCMP received a report of a missing person from the family of Verna Nicol, 81, who was last seen at the Williams Lake Bus Depot on May 18 after dropping off a family relative. Family and friends had not heard from Nicol in six days and contacted police who conducted a search to help locate her. Family advised the RCMP that Nicol suffered from dementia and would often get confused. On May 28, a forestry worker was travelling along the 5500 Road (93 kilometres down Farwell Canyon Road) and found a deceased female on the side of the roadway, later identified as Nicol. RCMP have ruled out any criminality and foul play is not suspected. RCMP are trying to identify Nicol’s movements from the time she was last seen to the time she was located. Nicol was last seen driving her grey Ford truck. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Alexis Creek RCMP at 250-394-4211.

There was a full house at the Gibraltar Room in the Cariboo Memorial Complex Saturday evening for the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede Queen Coronation. Masters of ceremonies were Lorne Doerkson and 2008 Stampede Queen Britnie McKnight, but numerous sponsors and representatives from the community stepped in to present the various awards and talk about various aspects of the competition. The contestants were judged in several categories by a wide selection of judges who are often not known to one another. The totals from each judging category are tabulated and added together to produce the winner. Awards were presented for Miss Congeniality (voted on by the contestants themselves); horsemanship overall, practical riding, horsemanship theory and most improved horsemanship; overall winner and most improved public speaking; written exam about rodeo and the Williams Lake area, personal interview, and fashion show. The evening included slide shows about the outgoing royalty and this year’s contestants, as well as personal explanations on the various judging categories by organizers. At the end of the suspense-filled evening outgoing 2011 Stampede Queen Davana Mahon turned over her crown to incoming 2012 Stampede Queen Alexis Forseille (left). Outgoing 2011 Stampede Princess Bobi Bracewell crowned her successor Terris Billyboy. For more on the story turn to Page A15.
WL Stampede starts Friday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer You definitely won’t want to miss anything at this weekend’s 86th annual Williams Lake Stampede. But in case you do, Fred Thomas, president of the Williams Lake Stampede Association, is bringing in a bigtime treat for everyone attending the rodeo. “One of the biggest things I think that will make this year special is we’re going to have a large video screen setup on the grounds which will give us the capabilities of instant replay and those types of things,” Thomas says. “We’ll have a couple of cameras situated around the arena too so we’ll be filming all the events, plus the mountain horse race and all the other good things. “Sight lines have always been an issue with the mountain race but be-
ing on the big video screen everyone should now be able to see it each day.” This year’s Stampede is also expected to have the largest participant pool. Thomas says there are currently 466 competitors registered. “That’s way above average,” he says. “Normally it’s somewhere in the neighbourhood of 375 to 400.” He adds not only will many of the top cowboys in Canada be vying for titles and prize money but, also, several of the top U.S. cowboys will be in town for the rodeo. “A lot of the American cowboys — many of them have competed every year at the national finals in Las Vegas — so some of the best in the world will be here, for sure,” he says. In addition, cowboys and cowgirls will be vying for an exceptionally large purse — this year upwards of $150,000, Thomas says.
“I just think our rodeo keeps getting a little better with the better competition we get each year,” he says. “The better competition you have the better rides and better scores, and all in all it makes it a bigger rodeo.” Quickly becoming a household name in Williams Lake, Alberta’s Tyson Pietsch will once again be back, for the fifth straight time, at this year’s rodeo announcing and calling all the action. Anyone who attended any of last year’s rodeo performances will also be familiar with this year’s rodeo clown, Bert Davis. Davis, also known as the Coppertown Clown, has been working the rodeo business since 1974 — and returns to Williams Lake this year with his pack of zany dogs, who play a large part in his act. Rodeo performances, including elaborate opening ceremonies and grand entry each day, start Friday at 6 p.m. with
“Wear Red to Support our Armed Forces,” then continue at 1 p.m. Saturday following the annual Stampede Parade (10 a.m. downtown). Sunday, the third rodeo performance goes at 1 p.m., before it all comes to a close following Monday’s “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” rodeo. Proceeds from the day go to benefit Diane Johnston (Sheer) and Kids Running for Kids. Additionally, local events such as the ranch challenge, wild horse race and mountain horse race take place each day. Live entertainment, including Appaloosa, Robert Rowan and Savage West, will also be performing throughout the weekend in the Let ‘R Buck Saloon and at the famous Williams Lake Stampede Barn Dance Saturday night.

NEWS Motel fire emphasizes need for security: fire chief Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake fire department responded to a fire at a neglected motel in the downtown early Thursday. At around 3 a.m. a citizen noticed smoke coming from one of the rooms at the end of the Slumber Lodge Motel on Seventh Avenue South and called the fire in. Damage was contained to a mattress and an arm chair, and while obvious someone had been in the room, fire chief Randy Isfeld says it’s not known whether the fire was caused intentionally or accidentally. “The Slumber Lodge has been abandoned for
many years,” Isfeld says. “It’s causing us and the RCMP a fair bit of concern. People are breaking into it in the evening, crashing, sleeping or partying in there. The police have been down there many times routing people out of there.” On the morning of the fire, there was nobody in the room when the fire department arrived, but when firefighters and the RCMP checked all of the other rooms, they discovered someone sleeping in one of the suites around the corner. Fortunately Thursday’s fire was contained to one suite and was put out quickly, but Isfeld says there was the fear that there were people

A small fire, contained to a suite where a mattress and an armchair burned, occurred at the Slumber Lodge Motel on Seventh Avenue South June 21. The motel has been closed for several years, but is presently under a remand order from the city to enhance its security. sleeping in other suites and the whole place had to be checked. He worries that some day someone might be heavily intoxicated, break into the building, pass out and not escape
from a fire. “It won’t be just about going to a fire; there’ll be a victim involved,” he warns. At its June 5 regular meeting, city council endorsed a motion to re-
quire the owners of the motel to beef up security at the building by blocking access to the suites and/or hiring security. The owners presently live in Vancouver, but were in the city in June
and did talk to the city. They have been given until June 25 to acknowledge the city’s request, and until July 12 to do the work. If not, the city will proceed with the work, and charge the owners. Isfeld says Wednesday’s fire emphasizes the need for the motel to be secured properly. “We are trying to get the owners to co-operate and board the building up so these kinds of things won’t happen. At this point nothing’s been done.” He also explains that several orders have been written for the building by the fire department since as far back as 2002, but those have been basi-
cally ignored. “The remedial action will allow us to take some action if they don’t do it themselves, but certainly we would like the owners to take some responsibility for it themselves.” Another concern is the fact there’s still hydro and gas to the building. “We were fortunate that someone, at 3 a.m. noticed the fire and called it in. We got there within six minutes and were able to contain the fire quite quickly, but it could have easily been the other way around and that fire could have really got going, much like the Williams Inn in February. That fire took off like crazy.”
$10K in cash, mushroom baskets stolen from truck More than $10,000 and 35 mushroom baskets were stolen from a truck near Riske Creek on June 13.
Police say that between 1 and 2 p.m. on that day a vehicle was broken into while parked on a gravel

Collision south of Y intersection
Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Williams Lake RCMP respond to a collision on the morning of June 22 between a GMC Sierra truck and a semi trailer truck on Highway 97, south of the Y intersection in Williams Lake.
Business doors smashed before theft A vehicle was driven through the front doors of two businesses on Mackenzie Avenue Wednesday morning, before a number of items were stolen. The Williams Lake RCMP say the first inci-
dent took place at about 3 a.m. Suspects broke into a business at 750 Mackenzie Ave. by driving a vehicle through the gate and then through the front doors. The suspects then stole a cash register.
Approximately an hour later, suspects broke into a second business further west on Mackenzie Avenue, again using a vehicle to smash through the front doors. It is unknown at this time the ex-
tent of the theft and if the two incidents are related. The possible suspect vehicle may be a mid-sized blue car that will have fresh damage to the front end, hood, and windshield. The
RCMP is still investigating and asks anyone with information on these matters to come forward. The Williams Lake RCMP can be reached at 250392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Three arrested after spray painting in city Three people went on a spray-painting spree Sunday night, vandalizing a number of vehicles and buildings. Police say that at 7 p.m. on Sunday three men from Williams Lake, for no apparent
reason, walked down Oliver Street, starting near the Sandman Hotel, and spray painted several vehicles and buildings. Thanks to some alert citizens who alerted police, the Williams Lake RCMP attended to the
area and located and arrested three suspects. The RCMP say it is not known exactly how many vehicles and buildings were damaged at this time; however, it is believed the damage would be somewhere in
City water service, valve infrastructure components to be replaced in July The City of Williams Lake will replace water service and valve infrastructure components on Pigeon Avenue between Williams Lake and 11th Avenue, beginning July 23. Construction is expected to take several weeks. As a result, there will be disruptions in water supply to properties and traffic movements along Pigeon Avenue. “The infrastructure in this area of the city is 40 years old and older,” says Coun. Sue Zacharias, chair of the planning and
operations committee. “Changing water service saddles, sanitary sewer service connections, and storm drainage is a must to ensure the longevity of these systems as well as the road systems above them. Planning to replace infrastructure before it fails is a growing trend in the province that is gaining popularity because of the need to ensure that services are always delivered to the residents of those communities.” The city says all traffic detours and road clo-
sures will be signed appropriately and will be in effect from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Extra care will be required by drivers using Pigeon Avenue and the neighbouring streets during the construction to ensure the safety of crews and the public, the city says, adding that entire blocks may need to be closed during construction. As much notice as possible will be given to each of the property owners regarding disruptions in water service.
the low thousands of dollars range. “The motivation for this criminal act is unknown and has to be undoubtedly one of the more senseless incidents this year that the Williams Lake RCMP have
responded to,” says Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP in a news release. “The RCMP will be requesting Crown Counsel to approve charges of mischief against these three.”
Local man arrested for indecent exposure Police have made an arrest following an investigation into an indecent exposure incident at the Sandman Hotel that occurred on June 20. The Williams Lake RCMP arrested a male at 7:45 a.m. on Friday, June 22. He is currently in custody with the Williams Lake RCMP pending further investigation. At approximately 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20, an employee at the Sandman Hotel in Williams Lake reported to the RCMP that an indecent sexual act had occurred. Allegedly, while a female employee was cleaning a room, a male, described as Caucasian,
tall and very heavy set with short scruffy hair, entered the same room and touched himself inappropriately. Police say it appears that the male wanted the employee to watch him as he did this. The employee ran out of the room and reported this to another employee who was near by. The suspect fled. The RCMP searched the building and surrounding area but could not locate the suspect at that time. The RCMP is asking anyone who may have information on this incident to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Highway concepts laid out at open house Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Locals had the chance to view proposed concepts of four laning the stretch of Highway 97 between Carson Drive to Fox Mountain during an open house held by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure June 21 in Williams Lake. After six months of research and mulling over 13 different scenarios, Urban Systems out of Kelowna has narrowed it down to two concepts, although staff says those two are not necessarily written in stone, hence the open house was held to gather community input. The first option would
see splitting the Toop Road intersection and reconfiguring the access points to allow right-left in/right out movements only. The second option would relocate the Toop Road access further north and restrict movements similar to the first option. Within both options, the Carson Drive intersection would be improved. The main difference between the two options is what happens at the Toop Road intersection, transportation planner Jeremy Finkleman explains. “In the first option the access to 11th Avenue is provided at its current location, while access to Toop is shifted north
No one gets an accessibility award of merit Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While there are no winners for the Accessibility Award of Merit in Williams Lake this year, all of the nominated businesses will be commended for their efforts and will receive a letter of congratulations from the city. The Best Western Hotel, Atwood Medical Clinic and Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre were nominated for the award, but when the
three-member accessibility award of merit committee visited each site, it could not reach consensus and in the end did not grant the award. “We have been doing the this for three years,” said coun. Surinderpal Rathor. “Everybody had different opinions; all three had done a very good job, but nobody was perfect.” Rather than lower the standards of the award policy, it was suggested that no one be named the winner.
about 150 metres, whereas in the second option both accesses to 11th and to Toop are shifted north.” One of the reasons why the intersection is shifted north has to do with spacing. There are guidelines that state that intersections along a major highway should be spaced at least 400 metres apart. Currently the spacing is about 250 metres so for safety reasons it’s
proposed to relocate and reconfigure the intersection at Toop Road. “One of the main disadvantages of relocating it north is the grade. It’s fairly steep on the 11th Avenue side from Highway 97 over to Smedley Street, similar to Carson Drive. While you entertain that 400-metre guideline by shifting the intersection north, the major disadvantage is the grade, so the compromise option was developed.”

The compromise option, splitting the Toop Road intersection, successfully obtains the spacing for the northbound movement, but does not obtain it for the south-bound movement. However, it does address the steep grade issue, which can be challenging for school buses. Historically both intersections have been high in the provincial context for crash severity and frequency.

B.C. Conservative leader talks taxes, environmental review Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins stopped in Williams Lake on June 19 during a “listening” tour as his party looks ahead to the 2013 provincial election. Speaking to half a dozen locals in a restaurant over the lunch hour, Cummins said while personal income taxes are low in B.C., residents pay higher taxes in the form of the carbon tax, MSP premiums and environmental taxes. “What else is alarming is that more people left the province last year to live and work in other provinces than came here,” Cummins said. The “high tax regime” is driving people away, he added. Cummins argued the carbon tax increases the cost of doing business and is more of a burden to people living outside the Lower Mainland, partly because public transportation isn’t available ev-
erywhere and partly because many need bigger vehicles. He said by spending smarter, or holding the level of spending, the government could offset not recuperating the approximate $1.4 billion it would gain from collecting the carbon tax. When it comes to the development of natural resource projects, Cummins said his party is committed to a rigorous environmental assessment process, but one that needs to be accelerated. “People in this country don’t want to ignore the environment — they’re very concerned about the environment and they want the environmental process to be thorough. They want to know what the real cost of moving the project is. But what they also want are the jobs and the benefits.” He said the environmental impact has to be balanced with the social and economic benefits that are going to flow

from the project. “You have to look down the road and say what’s the landscape going to look like when you’ve completed that project. When I look at New Prosperity, I think that the environmental impacts can be mitigated and the social and eco-
nomic benefits are large enough that the project should go ahead.” Criticizing the federal environmental assessment of the original Prosperity Mine project for only looking at the environmental impact, Cummins said there needs to be a working
relationship between the province and the federal government to look at the big picture. “When First Nations’ fishing and hunting rights are impacted, there has to be some consideration, but no one community should have the veto over that project. At the end of

the day, the decision has to be a decision from the provincial government.” When asked about the treaty process in B.C., he pointed to recently signed treaties as expensive. “Treaties have to be affordable and we have to realize that we’re all in this together, whether we’re native or non-native.” He also said small business is taking a big hit in B.C. “In the last budget, the two and half per cent small business tax was supposed to be eliminated, but on April 1 it was retained. “The minimum wage went up without any consultation with business people.” He said another big cost, to government and to small business, will be the Family Day holiday in February. He said B.C.’s unemployment rate is high — in May it was 7.4 per cent. “That’s staggering compared to the other
western provinces,” he said. “When there’s no jobs all we’re doing is driving people out of the province.” Cummins served as a federal MP for nearly 18 years representing Delta/ Richmond. He served for the Reformers, then Canadian Alliance, and finally the Conservatives. He lives in Langley, but said he hasn’t decided what riding he’ll run in yet. So far upwards of 60 people have filed to be candidates, but the nomination process won’t take place until the fall. He predicted that if his party stays at home it will result in an NDP government being voted in. “The fact that we’re in the game is the best option because it means there’s a better chance. If there is an NDP government, it will be a minority government. Or with us being in the game, my view is that we could attract enough votes that in a three-way split we could form government.”

Stampede a celebrated tradition
ne day last week, GS#1 was riding his bike in the creek valley, towing his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter (GGD#2) in what I call a bike buggy. Suddenly she called French o u t Connection “Daddy, Diana French m e a n d o g gie.� He looked back and much to his astonishment, he saw a coyote running on the side of the trail, fairly close to the buggy. It had a rabbit in its mouth, dripping blood. The coyote didn’t waver, even when GS made eye contact with it. There was a bend in the trail and it kept going along the creek while the bikers stayed on the trail. GS is used to foxes and deer in town but it was the first time he’d seen a coyote. Bands of coyotes have either injured or killed two little dog in the area that I know about. What’s going on? *** The provincial government’s Special Committee on Timber Supply is making a whirlwind tour (three months) hoping the public and stakeholders will tell them how to mitigate the reduction of timber supplies given the end of the harvestable trees attacked by the mountain pine beetle. The issue has been around for a while. What took the government so long to get antsy about it? The Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Committee was formed in 2005 to find ways to deal with the problem. The province funded CCBAC (and other BACs). Has it taken seven years to figure out what that funding was for? I have a special interest in this because five members of my family rely directly on trees for their livelihoods. My question is, if we keep cutting trees to protect today’s jobs, what happens when they are all gone? It reminds me of former U.S. president George Bush’s plan to “make the pie higher.� Is anybody looking for a way to grow instant trees? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
t’s my favourite weekend of the year again and I hope you’re all excited for the 86th Annual Williams Lake Stampede! It’s such a proud tradition that we all enjoy so much. It goes without MLA s a y ing that Musings we’re Donna Barnett all excited for the rodeo, bull-riding and chuck wagon racing, but how could we forget about the big parade on Saturday, pancake breakfasts on all four days, the Rotary Club Steakout dinners, and entertainment by the Cariboo Cowgirls? Don’t forget the Saturday night entertainment, which includes the Barn Dance at the curling rink. My favourites are always the barrel races and chuck wagon races. It really is four days of family fun with something there for everyone. We’re especially lucky this year as the rock concert-themed mobile event JobFest will also be at the grounds from June 29 to July 1. JobFest aims to educate youth aged 15-25 about labour market trends and the upcoming career opportunities in our province. Over the next decade, there will be more than one million job openings in B.C., and we want to make sure youth know about these opportunities, and have the skills to fill those positions. Along with performances by a headliner rock band and local talent, JobFest also offers an engaging exhibition that features presentations and guest speakers, inspiring youth stories, interactive career discovery tools and games, and various information displays. JobFest staff are extremely knowledgeable about the many resources and services that are available for jobseekers in B.C., and are always willing to answer any questions. This is going to be a great way to help get youth motivated and interested in their futures, and it makes perfect sense to match up the JobFest tour with our very own Stampede! I really hope to see you all out there. Cariboo residents are known for our warm hospitality and enthusiastic gatherings. Let’s all have a great time, play safe, and show everyone what the Cariboo-Chilcotin is all about! Happy Stampede! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Beautiful Liberals forgot to build a school B.C. is being mowed Independent candidate thinks ahead down Editor:  It’s so good to come back and visit Williams Lake. What a truly wonderful gem in the centre of the province. In contrast, I notice that the
Editor:
Editor: Once again the B.C. government is paying lip service to public consultation. Are they coming to Anahim Lake, Nimpo, Alexis Creek or any of the hundred other small communities in the Chilcotin that are the ones about to have their forest and livelihoods chopped down around their ears? Nope. Sorry folks, the closest consultation will be in Williams Lake, four hours away. Interesting to note that Williams Lake is also home to the same major logging companies that are busy dividing up the Chilcotin amongst themselves — and they’re not nibbling; they’ll be taking massive chunks at a time. I’ve seen some of the shape-file maps, and it’s absolutely unbelievable. This is the Highway 20 corridor to Bella Coola that could be the shining star of Tourism BC, with caribou, historic trails, breathtaking vistas and world-renowned fishing. I guess the government thinks that it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. But how much forgiveness will there be among people across the province when they realize in hindsight that their government allowed B.C.’s last green wildernesses to be mowed down like a lawn? The people of Williams Lake themselves must surely be appalled when they drive to Horsefly and other local lakes and find there are no longer any trees around them. Lakes with no trees — soon this will be the West Chilcotin, too. So much for “Beautiful B.C.� Will no one wake up and stop this from happening? Wendy Webb, Anahim Lake

porting a candidate in the CaribooChilcotin riding. Of interest is the announcement that Gary Young will be seeking the MLA position as an Independent candidate. This will provide a breath of fresh air to the riding. An MLA with Independent status will no longer be obliged to follow political party agendas or carry obligations to major financial sponsors
such as big businesses or unions. Representation as directed by the constituents and the ability to put forth issues without party hindrance is the greatest asset of being Independent. If we review the representation that the Cariboo North riding is receiving by Bob Simpson we are witnessing Independent representation at its best. Should Young match
Simpson’s representation we will all benefit greatly. Young has an extensive past history of community involvement, the majority being of a non-monetary nature. He thinks in terms of decades ahead and what will be there for our children and grandchildren, not the next election and what “sounds good� to voters. Jack Hackett Horse Lake
Pesticide committee should be commended Editor: Re: B.C. committee rejects pesticide ban, Williams Lake Tribune, May 25, 2012. The British Columbia Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticide use should be commended for examining the issue of urban pesticide use so thoroughly. The committee received 8,675 submissions and held 22 meetings where presentations were made by dozens of witnesses including experts from Health Canada, environmental groups, industry organiza-
tions, scientific organizations and academics. In the end, the committee made 17 recommendations but came to the conclusion that scientific evidence does not warrant preventing British Columbians from buying and using approved pesticides so pesticides should not be banned in B.C. The committee did its due diligence on this topic and discovered that pesticides in Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which employs more than 350 scientists who are experts in their field.
The review process involves a comprehensive set of 200 tests and a review of all scientifically credible studies that exist to ensure the product will not cause harm to people, animals or the environment. If the report from the committee had been different and they had instead recommended a ban, the groups that are unhappy with the actual outcome would be commending the government on a thorough process that looked at all available science before making the decision it did. It’s ironic that these same groups only like the “growing and
suggestive body of evidence� when it yields the answer they want. Fortunately for Canadians science doesn’t work that way. The B.C. Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticide Use did look at all available science and made the right decision to continue to ensure British Columbians have access to useful tools to protect private and public properties from pests.

A green economy is possible and sustainable Editor: Time is not on our side, warns Ban Ki-Moon. Rajenda Pachauri said maybe 2012 is too late.  Is “Canadaâ€? way off the mark? Global environmental problems increase without end. Canada (Harper/Kent) still blocks Rio+20 global action to mitigate climate change ‌ environmental degradation ‌ eradication of global poverty. C-38 moves us backward. Harper degrades Canada’s protections compromising its own biosphere. Rio+20 wants to end global oil and gas subsidies. CAPP (Canadian Association of Petroleum
Producers), CEPA (Canadian Energy Pipeline Association), CGA (Canadian Gas Association) with Canada stand opposed. “Canadiansâ€? subsidize ($3billion?) oil ‌ gas ‌ cuts medical care and social networks? Dr. Bill Rees (UBC emeritus) and Dr. Mathis Wackernagel (UBC) were honoured at Rio+20 for their work on “ecological footprint.â€? It describes our ecological “overshootâ€? surpassing the planet’s capacity (times four) to sustain our unlimited growth economy. Rees and Dr. Marc Jaccard (SFU) stood on the railroad tracks in White Rock to disrupt a coal
train destined to add more CO2 to the atmosphere (May 5, 2012). Jaccard and others were arrested and fined. The NDP wants Alberta tar-sand bitumen refined in Canada ‌ adding that CO2 to the atmosphere? Dr. Chris Keefer stood before Joe Oliver protesting Conservatives’ cuts to medical care (May 22, 2012).  Joe Oliver walked out. Like-minded health-care providers across Canada stood for sufficient medical care (May 18, 2012) We can create sustainable development goals for a green economy before 2012 ends ‌ through 2020 ‌ or perhaps join the world
in support of seeking sustainable goals of Rio+20. We can plan rapid transitioning to a green economy before 2012 ends. Carrying through to 2020 may give us a shot for future sustainability for all. We can create decent dignifying human work for all while eradicating poverty ‌ a green economy without growth ‌ environmental sustainability ‌ a democratic social equality fulfilling justice for all ‌ spiritual fulfillment ‌ without inhuman speculative/greed. For all ‌ work is a human task of life. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

Gibraltar mine construction underway
Photos submitted
Gibraltar Development Plan 3 (GDP3) construction continues at Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine, with the arrival of the shells for the new Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill (pictured) arriving at the mine site last week. Built in Porrino, Spain, each shell piece weighs roughly 50 tons. The three pieces were shipped through the port of Vigo in Spain to Houston, Texas, and then transported via trucks across the continent to Gibraltar. When assembled, the SAG mill will be 34 feet in diameter. GDP3 will double Gibraltar’s annual copper production capacity to 180 million pounds when completed in early 2013.
Directors endorse UBCM resolutions During recent Cariboo Regional District board meetings, the directors endorsed the re-submission of the Strategic Engagement Agreements resolution to the 2012 Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention, and identified additional resolution topics.

The CRD will also take several resolutions which were endorsed during the 2012 North Central Local Government Association convention in May. Resolution topics include fencing adjacent to highways; fencing and agricultural interfaces; the protection of potable water; the release of dangerous offenders, and noxious weeds on range lands. The UBCM convention will be held this fall in Victoria, Monday September 24 to 28.
Special projects funds authorized The CRD board authorized the allocation of special projects funds from electoral areas B, F and H for various projects throughout the region.

Lozier makes bank off Slash Williams Lake bull rider first in PBR and CPRA standings
June 29-30, July 1-2
Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s been called the longest and the most dangerous eight seconds in sport. Williams Lake pro bull rider Kyle Lozier multiplied that danger by eight recently in Wanham, Alta, hopping on eight bulls over two days to win $25,000 and catapult into first place in the Professional Bull Riders Association Canada series (PBR Canada) and Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) standings. “I was a pretty sore guy there on Sunday,� Lozier joked. “I was getting on four bulls a day, so it was pretty tough. “Up until that weekend there I hadn’t been doing great in them. But that cheque was big enough to move me up to the top of the standings. This is by far probably the biggest cheque you’ll make at a rodeo in Canada.� The 25-year-old lakecity resident, who spends his summer rodeo season living in Strathmore, Alta., bested 24 other men June 15-16, entering twice in the event to claim the top overall spot at the rodeo. For his effort, Lozier was awarded the one-time opportunity to ride a cash bull, Slash, directly following the event. His successful ride granted him an enormous $20,000 paycheque, in addition to claiming another $5,000 for the overall title. In addition to his PBR standing, Lozier is also atop the CPRA standings heading into the Williams Lake Stampede this weekend. This year marks Lozier’s fourth season competing in the PBR and CPRA.
SPORTS NOTEBOOK Williams Lake Stampede The 86th Annual Williams Lake Stampede promises to be one of the best yet. One of the major stops on the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association’s circuit, this year’s rodeo boasts an enormous competitor pool of upwards of 450 cowboys and cowgirls. In addition, competitors will be competing for a share of the $150,000 purse. Additionally, all of the entertainment, street party, barn dance and music will help make this year’s Stampede a memorable one. For more visit www. williamslakestampede.com.

Williams Lake bull rider Kyle Lozier, 25, is in first place in both the Canadian PBR and Canadian Professional Rodeo Association following a big weekend in Wanham, Alta. “For CPRA it’s been a really good year,� he said. “I’ve been pretty consistent all spring and have been staying on a lot of my bulls. Before I knew it I was up there at the top.� Lozier, who began his bull riding career in high school, said he hopes to continue riding well and plans to maintain focus for the rest of the year. He added he has his sights set on the U.S. Built Ford Tough series, with the Wanham win going a long
way to move him up the qualifying ladder rungs. “That’s the main goal,� he said. “Right now that moved me right up there, but I’ve still got to keep winning. That series [Built Ford Tough] takes a summer break. It more or less starts around January and goes right up until about May and to qualify it goes by money, so you work your way up the tiers.� Lozier said he and his brother,
Reid Lozier, 23, are both looking forward to competing this weekend in front of family and friends at the Williams Lake Stampede. “It’s definitely a fun one for us,� Lozier said. “We don’t get home much at all during the summer, so this is really our only chance and it works out nice. “We usually get to spend at least one night there before we have to leave so it’s good to see everyone.�

From horseback to the House of Commons Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Lorne Greenaway served as the Member of Parliament for the Cariboo Chilcotin for 10 years, from 1979 to 1988. He won three elections, in 1979, 1980 and 1984, before resigning his seat in 1988, and passing the torch to fellow Progressive Conservative Dave Worthy, who was successfully elected in his stead. Born in Bella Coola in 1933 and raised in the Okanagan, Greenaway had a varied career as a veterinarian, rancher, university professor, deputy minister, and civil servant. This spring his memoir, Lorne Greenaway: From Horseback to the House of Com-
Lorne Greenaway mons was released by Caitlin Press. In January, 2009, Greenaway was diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and that’s when he began writing down his life story with the help of his daughter, Kate Greenaway.
For 20 months Lorne dictated his story from his home in Victoria, using Dragon speech recognition computer software. With Kate’s assistance his memoir unfolded. “He wrote the pieces of his life in sequence,” Kate says, noting that her father remained active to the end. “He lost a lot of mobility to ALS,” says Kate, “but he was still able to stand and transfer himself before his death.” Greenaway died from a possible stroke on Sept. 13, 2010. After his passing, Kate worked with the editors of Caitlin Press to complete his story. Lorne’s independent character and integrity as a politician, civil servant and veterinarian come through loud and clear.
So does his sense of humour. “Dad was a pretty funny guy,” Kate says. “He was an incorrigible practical joker right to the end.” Lorne’s roots run deep in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. His mother, Olivia Nygaard, was born on a homestead in Chilanko Forks in 1911, and both his parents were raised in Bella Coola where Lorne was born in 1933. Brian Garland says he talked Lorne into seeking the nomination for the Progressive Conservative Party in 1974 when the Chilcotin-Coast electoral area included Powell River and Whistler. He lost by a few votes to Liberal candidate Jack Pearsall. Greenaway won the
1979 election handily with the creation of the new Cariboo-Chilcotin electoral area, and former prime minister Joe Clark won a minority government. “Lorne was a man of integrity and a little idealistic. All done for the right reasons,” Garland says. “He was a rancher as well as a veterinarian. He used to give rancher answers when he was in politics, which got him in trouble sometimes.” Kate will sign copies of her father’s memoir at the Save-On-Foods book department in Williams Lake during the Williams Lake Stampede street party, from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 30. All proceeds from the book will be donated to the ALS Society.
Treatment for car accident victim reveals brain tumor Malinda Gill Special to the Tribune As most of you know, our son, Caleb, was in a car accident in September 2011. As he had blown apart his knee he was taken by ambulance to Kamloops for surgery. After having a full body CT scan we were soon told that his knee, in three pieces, was the very least of our concerns. We were shocked to find out that Caleb had a very large brain tumour that needed to be removed right away. When we saw the CT scan it certainly explained all the headaches Caleb had been having. Within four days Caleb underwent two huge surgeries, one for his knee and one for his brain. It was the longest nine hours of our lives. When Caleb woke up with a pounding headache and a cheeky attitude, Chad and I were relieved. It seemed the same son who went into surgery had come out, minus the tumour and a substantial part of his brain. Caleb scored 90 per cent on his post-surgery brain tests and the tumour appeared to be benign. We had weathered the storm and we were going to be okay. Caleb had a long road to recovery with physio-
therapy but he was going to be okay. The pathology report was taking a while but we believed staying positive — “no news is good news.” Twenty five days later we received another blow. Caleb’s tumour was a very rare aggressive cancer called clear-cell ependymoma. Soon after this devastating news the treatment schedule and plan was made. At this point our families, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, associations and wonderful people of Williams Lake pitched in financially, physically and emotionally. We want to thank you all and let you know you all had a part in keeping our family unit intact. We could not have done it without you all. We watched our son go through radiation, lose his hair and struggle to regain his strength and mobility without one complaint or pity party. Caleb showed so much courage and bravery our hearts were full to the top with pride and love. The radiation technicians called him “a ray of sunshine in their day.” We were also very proud of our daughter, Kylie, who had to cope with some hard times in what should have been the time of her life,
Grade 12. She has shown us what a strong and capable young lady she is. We love her with our whole hearts. We recently finished our first follow-up MRI appointment, post radiation and things look pretty good. The cancer seems to be in remission. They will be closely monitoring Caleb by MRI every four months. There will always be uncertainty and fear but
that is all part of life. Caleb will be starting Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops in September. We want to thank each and every one of you who helped us on our journey. We really appreciate each and every one of you. We have learned that it is okay to accept help even though it is hard. Life is simple, enjoy and do the things that make you happy.

Potato Dreams community theatre project on stage June 30 Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The Potato Dreams community theatre project is in the final days of rehearsal before opening night on June 30. “It’s been interesting creating a play without a script,” says director Debra McNie. “It’s been fun.” Potato Dreams is historical fiction with the original script written by McNie with elements added by the actors and songs written by Pharis Romero and Carl Johnson. McNie says the production has morphed into its own identity with contributions from the actors and musicians who came out to participate in the play’s development. “It’s all about dreams and imaginary friends,” McNie says. “Where I started isn’t where I thought I would end up and that’s the way I like it. It is very much a collective community project. Watch for imaginary friends as they may show up where you least expect it.” One of the scenes called Depression Potato is based on a letter McNie received from Peggy McKinlay whose parents homesteaded at 70 Mile House, then relocated to Vancouver during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Peggy’s parents split up and her mother was never at home so at age four Peggy found herself caring for her older brothers ages six and eight. Potatoes played a big part in Peggy’s life in those days because

But one kind trucker couldn’t bare to see the potatoes dumped while children were starving and called all the neighborhood children over to the dump site, gave them potatoes and showed them how to roast them. Helen Sandy also provides a dream sequence called Urban Indian about a First Nations woman who has a conversation with an imaginary hip-hop dancer. Jesaja Class brings his Magical Jesaja’s Mystical Potato Dream Show! to the production. The cast, in order of appearance, includes Madison Lindsay, as Bella, the young Isabella, Chris Hutton as the father Andre, Lana Wright as the Spirit, and Sandi Alaric is the
present day Isabella. Drummers are Barbara Flach and Will Reirson. Imaginary Friends include Cody Slinn as Sparkle, Johanne Lebrune as Jane, Rachel Folland as Jewel, and Liane Skellet as Blossom. On the opening night only on June 30, McNie says Virginia Gilbert and three other women will give the play a blessing song. The crew includes Lianne Skellet, stage manager, make-up and gal of many talents; and set builders Wayne Lamothe, Vic Rafuse and Bob McNie. The whole cast contributed to costumes. Potato Dreams will be on stage June 30 and July 4 at the Potato House at 49 Borland Street in Williams Lake. Seating starts at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.
