Charges stayed against Gentles

Proudly serving Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin since 1930

VOL. 82. No. 49

First day of the rodeo tomorrow

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Charges against Martin William Gentles were stayed in Williams Lake Provincial Court on June 27, pending further investigation. Gentles was charged with one count of impaired driving causing death, and one count of causing an accident resulting in bodily harm following the death of Rayel MacDonald who, along with another woman, were struck by a truck on Carson Drive in Williams Lake in the early hours of April 22. “Williams Lake RCMP did a weekend investigation with the justice centre and the investigation is still ongoing. The Crown are requiring further information which is not unusual in a serious case such as this,” says acting spokesperson for the Crown, Samantha Hulme. “The Crown have withdrawn the charges for the moment, while the police continue the investigation and get the expert reports they need, and then they can send the whole file back for the Crown to look at again.”

Former William case decision upheld in court Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld aspects of the William Case — an aboriginal title case involving a large portion of Nemiah Valley. “While I would analyze certain aspects of this case differently than did the trial judge, I would uphold his order in its entirety, and would dismiss all three appeals,” concluded Justice Groberman in his reasons for judgement released Wednesday. In November 2007, after 15 years before the courts, Justice David Vickers found that Tsilhqot’in chief Roger William had proven aboriginal title to a vast part of the area. Vickers had dismissed William’s claim for a declaration that the Tsilhqot’in have existing aboriginal title to areas of land known as the Brittany Triangle and the Trapline Territory. He also dismissed William’s claims for damage from B.C. He declared, however, that the Tsilhqot’in people have an aboriginal right to hunt and trap birds and animals in the claim area and have an aboriginal right to trade from that area. He also declared that forestry activities, such as logging, had unjustifiably infringed on aboriginal rights in the claim area. That trial lasted for 339 days and cost nearly $30 million for all par-

ties. In December 2007, all three parties — the provincial government, federal government, and William — filed appeal notices. “The case should not be seen as authority for the proposition that any industrial activity that affects the diversity of species or abundance of wildlife will necessarily be inimical to an Aboriginal right to hunt or trap,” Groberman said in his reasons for judgement released yesterday. “Each case must be analyzed in terms of the nature and scope of the aboriginal right and of the conduct that allegedly infringes it.” The decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal included the following conclusions: • The plaintiff is correct in his assertion that the claim for aboriginal title was not an “all or nothing claim” to the claim area. • The plaintiff’s claim was a “territorial” one rather than a claim to a definite tract of land that was actually occupied by the Tsilhqot’in at the time of assertion of sovereignty. • The “territorial” basis for the claim did not form a viable foundation for a title claim. Accordingly, the claim for title was not made out. • This case was not about aboriginal title to definite tracts of land within the claim area. Given the state of the law and the nature of this test case, the plaintiff cannot be faulted

for failing to include site-specific claims in this litigation. Accordingly, the dismissal of the aboriginal title claim cannot prejudice future claims by the Tsilhqot’in to title to specific areas within the claim area on the basis that they constitute definite tracts of land which were actually occupied by the Tsilhqot’in at the time Crown sovereignty was asserted. • The judge made no error in allowing the plaintiff to claim aboriginal rights on behalf of the Tsilhqot’in rather than on behalf of the Xeni Gwet’in. • The judge made no error in finding that aboriginal rights resided with the Tsilhqot’in Nation rather than the Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Government. • The judge made no error in finding a Tsilhqot’in right to capture and use wild horses in the claim area. • The judge made no error in allowing the plaintiff to assert that Tsilhqot’in hunting and trapping rights extended to the earning of a moderate livelihood, nor did he err in finding those rights to have been proven. • The judge did not hold that the Tsilhqot’in have a right to a harvestable surplus of all wildlife species in the claim area. Rather, he found that they have hunting and trapping rights in the Claim Area, and that the Crown had, in its management of

forestry in the claim area, infringed those rights. • The judge, in considering whether there had been a prima facie infringement of the Aboriginal rights of the Tsilhqot’in, properly placed the burden of proof on the plaintiff. He did not, as alleged by British Columbia, “reverse the burden of proof.” • The judge did not hold that the Crown must accept aboriginal rights claims as valid in order to properly engage in consultation. Rather, his reasons should be interpreted as requiring such claims to be treated seriously in accordance with the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling in Haida Nation. *** The Tsilhqot’in National Government has responded to the decision, applauding the B.C. Court of Appeal for affirming aboriginal rights. “We are pleased that the Court of Appeal upheld the Lake Justice Vickers’ findings with regards to the recognition of our aboriginal rights and the unjust infringement by B.C.’s forestry regime,” said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Marilyn Baptiste. “However, the court’s regressive attitude on the meaning of aboriginal title creates uncertainty for all Canadians.” See PROVINCE Page A2

City council may ask fire dept. to reduce MVI assistance Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city council continues to debate whether the fire department should respond to motor vehicle incidents. Over the last five years the fire department has attended MVIs, along with the RCMP and BC Ambulance, costing slightly over $10,000 a year for the calls. Some council members have raised concerns over the number of personnel attending accidents, especially when a fire doesn’t result. Mayor Kerry Cook and councillors Ivan Bonnell and Surinderpal Rathor view responding to MVIs as an increased level of service that was never authorized by the council of the day. Fire chief Randy Isfeld told council during its committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, the fire department only responds to MVIs within the fire protection area; other fire departments will be called in if an accident takes place outside that area. “If it’s not a fire, why is the fire department being called in when it wasn’t being called in before?” Bonnell asked. Isfeld said the fire

department always responded to MVIs; however, normally they arrived after the fact. After several incidents — one in particular where the fire department was called in after a vehicle caught on fire and people inside were burned — the RCMP and BC Ambulance asked why the fire department had not responded earlier, Isfeld explained. “I sought advice on it at that time and was told that it was within our mandate that we should be doing this based on our bylaw. It didn’t seem necessary to go to council,” Isfeld said. Explaining the differences, Isfeld told council the fire department is not a “first responder” per se. A first responder responds to health issues, such as heart attacks. Probably 99 per cent of the fire departments in the country respond to motor vehicle incidents, emergency accidents and fires, he added. “We respond for the protection of citizens, but we also respond for the protection of the emergency responders on scene.” There isn’t the ability within 911 to make a full determination of what the scene is and Isfeld admitted sometimes

they’ll respond and turn back once they realize they aren’t required. Some of the costs incurred are due to the number of people responding to call-outs. The fire department maintains a call-out staff of 40 and may have as many as 23 people showing up. “One of the ways we can reduce that cost is by platooning where you have a select group of people — say 15 — and only those 15 are allowed to respond and from that you would get the necessary eight to 10 people that you would need to respond to an MVI,” Isfeld suggested as a way to reduce costs by at least a third. There are drawbacks for platooning because if the department is divided up that way, some members might lose interest, but Isfeld agreed that in most cases 23 people aren’t needed at an MVI. “However, it’s my personal opinion that this is a function that we should be providing,” Isfeld said. Coun. Geoff Bourdon said council has to decide if the fire department should be responding to MVIs and if so then council and the city can look at ways to cut costs. Coun. Sue Zacharias said she would like the

fire department to be called after an assessment of the scene by the RCMP and ambulance. “I would think in the day of cellphones you can get a hold of people quite quickly,” Zacharias said. “When the RCMP and ambulance go to an MVI they must, within the first five minutes, be able to assess the situation as grave or if there’s imperative danger to people at the accident scene.” She argued that the RCMP and ambulance attendants are well trained in securing the scene and determining if the fire department should attend. Isfeld disagreed. “There’s no way to determine if a vehicle is going to catch on fire, whether that hybrid vehicle has shorted out or whether a vehicle is going to move or not. The RCMP and ambulance attend for the people in the accident; we attend for the vehicle and the scene.” In a report to council, Isfeld included letters from the RCMP and BC Ambulance that supported the fire department responding to MVIs. Coun. Laurie Walters told Isfeld she is in favour of the fire department attending MVIs

because it’s about safety and saving lives. “To me it’s a no brainer that you’re working together and helping each other out. I definitely don’t want to see us go back.” Rathor, however, noted his concern about it being an increased level of service without consultation with council. “Council should have to do due diligence. It is a budgetary item and should be referred to staff and then more discussion with council. If we go ahead, I have no problem with that. You have done a good job, but I would humbly ask that you cut back the costs in the meantime,” he told Isfeld. Cook said she would only support continuing with the service if there is a better system in place that sees less fire department members attending MVIs. At the end of the meeting, council deferred making a decision until it receives further information from the fire department. Bonnell also requested further information on the frequency of inspections by the fire department and the service agreement bylaws and heard those reports will also be presented in the future.

City receives food vendor requests Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The number of people wanting to set up mobile food vending in Williams Lake is on the increase so the city is going to look at a pilot project for 2012, and will follow up by developing a long-term policy for the future. At its committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, council considered a request from Walter Brunner of the Burger Shed, located at the Canadian Tire parking lot, to set up a second mobile food vending vehicle in Spirit Square this summer. Council also heard that other vendors have also inquired about setting up mobile food vending businesses in the downtown. Presently there are two areas set aside for mobile vending. They include a corner on Oliver Street and a sidewalk on Second Avenue. “Right now if you’re not in one of those two locations, the only other places you can be located in the city is on private property,” said acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall. “The idea is to figure out a system that could maybe add additional areas, and determine how vendors would be chosen, what they’d be charged and at what locations.”

So far the city has identified three additional areas as possible locations — Kiwanis Park, the Spirit Square, and the lower end of Boitanio Park. Goodall emphasized the discussion is only in preliminary stages and so far the city has told applicants there is no policy in place. “There are many questions that have to be asked. We’ve been gathering information. I’m not sure what happened this year, but we have been inundated with requests. We’ve gone through the last 10 years with probably 20 requests for mobile vendors. This year we’ve had 20,” he said. Referring to Vancouver, he pointed out that city has had good public discussions about mobile vendors. Coun. Laurie Walters said mobile vendors would enhance the downtown. “I see it as an opportunity for creating business and believe it’s a growing trend. If there’s something we can do for the short-term to make it happen, I think we should.” Coun. Ivan Bonnell reminded council that Spirit Square has already had defining rights and policies on it that prohibits commercial activity in that location.

Owners of the Slumber Lodge Motel in downtown Williams Lake have followed through on a remedial order by the city to make the building more secure. Over the weekend they put up plywood to block access to suites.

Slumber Lodge Motel boarded up Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The day after a small fire in one of the suites at the closed Slumber Lodge Motel in downtown Williams Lake the owners began remedial action to block access to the site. Over the last few months people had been breaking into the motel to party or sleep

there and the RCMP had been called in by concerned citizens several times. As a result, the city served the owners a notice for remedial action requiring them to secure the building and/or hire security by July 12. After the fire, the city hired security to watch the site over the weekend, but those services have been discontinued

now that the remedial work has been completed. At the end of Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall and fire chief Randy Isfeld told council the owners have put up plywood throughout the motel, blocking all access points. “We met with the

owners on Friday. They wanted more time to carry out the remedial action, but we didn’t budge and tried to emphasize the seriousness of the situation and the liability,” Goodall said, adding a few hours later the owners were at the motel and spent the weekend putting up plywood. Isfeld did an inspection on Sunday, fol-

lowed up by a second inspection by city staff on Monday. “We’re going to keep an eye on it and take it day by day, but for now we’re satisfied with the work,” Goodall said, adding they feel the owners have met the remedial requirements. A final report about the remedial work will be coming to council at a future meeting.

City, WLIB work on forest licence venture Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The community forest license venture between Williams Lake Indian Band and the city of Williams Lake is going through the steps to create a legal partnership that will hold and manage the community forest. At its regular meeting Tuesday, city council authorized Mayor Kerry Cook to sign the agreement for legal

services with Pushor Mitchell on behalf of the city. The total legal budget for the limited partnership is $20,000 — with $6,000 from WLIB and the remaining $14,000 split halfway between WLIB and the city of Williams Lake. In a report to council, general manager of planning and operations Geoff Goodall noted the total budget allocation to the community forest by the

city in 2012 is $30,000 to date. Approximately $15,000 has been spent, which leaves enough funds to more than cover the city’s share of the legal partnership fees. Creating the business structure that will hold the license is a necessary part of the application process, registered professional forester and forest manager Ken Day told the Tribune. Two areas would make up the license —

totalling about 35,000 hectares. One is located on Likely Road to Horsefly Road in the Potato Mountain area; the second one is located on the west side of Williams Lake between Highway 20 and the Williams Creek Valley down to the Fraser River. “There would be forest management going on, generating timber to create some revenues that would support the

management of those forests and the community values we’ve been working toward,” Day said. Active logging has already been taking place in both areas for many years, he added. Cook told members of council they will be updated on the progress of the license in early July. “That will be the opportunity for council to hear where were at,” she said.

MORTGAGE MESSAGE New Mortgage Rules Coming July 9th! Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, announced last week that 4 changes to the rules for government-backed insured mortgages will take effect July 9th, 2012. “Our Government stands behind the efforts of hard-working Canadian families to save by investing in their homes and their future,” said Minister Flaherty. “The adjustments we are making today will help them realize their goals, build on the previous measures we have introduced to keep the housing market strong, and help to ensure households do not become overextended”.

Four local groups receive gaming grants Four Cariboo organizations have received community gaming grants from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, the government announced this morning. The groups include: • 100 Mile House & District Historical Society — $21,000 • British Columbia Special Olympics — 100 Mile House Local — $3,600 • Williams Lake Museum and Historical Society — $30,000 • Cariboo Chilcotin Gymnastics Association — $35,400 “Each of these groups WILLIAMS LAKE HTV

plays a very big role in the cultural, historical and athletic preservation of our community,” says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “I’m happy they will benefit from these funds once again.” The ministry says that across B.C. 137 recipients will share $3,775,327 in the latest round of grants from provincial gaming revenue. Community gaming grants help local groups provide important services for British Columbia families. Grant recipients in this round of funding offer programs in arts and culture, human and social services, sport. Banner Ad BWand 10.312X2.5.pdf

These four changes are: • Reducing the maximum amortization period to 25 years from 30 years. The maximum amortization period was set at 35 years in 2008 and further reduced to 30 years in 2011. • Lowering the maximum amount Canadians can borrow when refinancing to 80% of the value of their home from 85%. • Setting the maximum gross debt service ratio at 39% and the maximum total debt service ratio at 44%. • Limiting the availability of governmentbacked insured mortgages to homes with a purchase price of less than $1 million. If you are thinking of purchasing a home or refinancing your current home it would be very wise to contact your mortgage broker to discuss your options before the July 9th, 2012 deadline as it may be harder for you to qualify for a mortgage after this date.

Hospitality

Committee coming to lakecity

he Stampede season kicked off last weekend with the Coronation Ball. Congratulations to new Queen Alexis Forseille and new Princess Terris Billyboy. I know you will represent our community well. All four contestants in the Queen competition this year were amazing. We also thanked last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s royalty for their hard work. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t k n o w about From the you, but Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my reChair s p e c t Kerry Cook for cowboys has grown every year Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone to the rodeo. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we could all learn by releasing our inner cowboy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; life is about taking risks, and doing something we are passionate about. It is important to acknowledge the many people who make the Williams Lake Stampede weekend such a success â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Thomas and the Stampede Association, the Queens committee, the WLCBIA, the Rotary Clubs, the Knights of Columbus, and many others who make it all run so well and offer a world-class rodeo and entertainment. The community spirit you show each and every year is truly amazing and appreciated. There is also generous sponsorship from local businesses, and, this year, the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society has organized our Canada Day celebration in Boitanio Park. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crest has the words Courage, Hospitality, and Opportunity on it, and I would like to encourage all residents to join me in welcoming out-of-town guests this weekend. Williams Lake has become known for its hospitality, and for good reason: we are welcoming, caring people who are proud of our community, its heritage, and its future. This year we will be welcoming a special guest in Premier Christy Clark, who will be serving breakfast with the Rotary Club Saturday morning, appearing in the parade, and taking in the rodeo in the afternoon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not every day we can welcome the premier! Finally, I am presenting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement to the Legislative Special Committee on Mid-Timber Supply on July 5. We are gathering the information and constructing our statement. Forestry has been the backbone of this community, and we want to ensure future sustainability. Hope to see you all at the parade, the rodeo, and Canada Day celebrations this weekend! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Enjoy our city Locals and visitors alike should have a rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time this weekend at the many annual events taking place in our community, the main one being the World Famous Williams Lake Stampede, which kicks off tomorrow and runs through to Monday. Cariboo-Chilcotin residents are no strangers to rodeo time in Williams Lake. After all, the Stampede has been around for the last 86 years. But if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to it in recent years, be sure to check it out this time because you are in for a treat. This year, the Stampede will boast a new piece of technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a digital screen to see more of the action, especially useful for the ever popular, nailbiting event called the Mountain Race. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race presented some pretty tense moments with some scary close calls. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope

everyone makes it around and down the mountain safely this year. Visitors, we hope you enjoy your time in Williams Lake and, in addition to checking out the rodeo, have a chance to visit some of the other events taking place in the lakecity, including the Stampede Parade on Saturday morning, the street party that will follow it, the Canada Day celebrations on Sunday in Boitanio Park, and many other fun activities. Also, be sure to pop by some of our local merchants, who already have their businesses dressed up in festive, western-themed decor to celebrate our annual Stampede. We are looking forward to the rodeo and accompanying events. See you around town. Dust off your hat, put on your boots and be part of the show!

Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Committee on Timber Supply is holding public meetings in Williams Lake and Quesnel next week, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about the future of our forests and the forest industry then this is a great opportunity to have your say. T h e MLA commitMusings tee was Bob Simpson formed earlier this year in response to the mid-term timber supply shortage, and the MLAs on the committee are working on a report to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;recommendations that could increase timber supply.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been touring the province to find out what British Columbians think about the options being considered, and their report will be released on Aug.15. The committee is looking for feedback about the principles that should guide government attempts to mitigate the timber supply shortage (such as lifting harvesting constraints or harvesting marginally economic timber); how these decisions should be made, and by whom; local issues that you think should be considered; and advice about â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether and howâ&#x20AC;? to mitigate the timber supply shortage. You can find additional background information about the committee on my website at www.bobsimpsonmla. ca/timber-supply-committee. The committee will be in Williams Lake on Thursday, July 5, from 4 to 9p.m., at the Pioneer Complex, Room B #118, 351 Hodgson Rd. The committee will be in Quesnel on Friday, July 6, from 8 a.m. to 1p.m., in the Atrium at the College of New Caledonia. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make a presentation at either meeting, you can call 1-877-428-8337, or send an e-mail to timbercommittee@leg.bc.ca. You can also make a written submission before July 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; details are on my website. The committee is coming to Williams Lake and Quesnel to talk about the future of your forests and your community, and I will be attending both meetings to listen to what you have to say. Please take the time to participate in this important discussion.Â Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Our mandate is to purchase cancer detection equipment. We urge you to be an important part of early cancer detection by supporting our society. Our major fundraiser barbecue will be June 30 at 8 a.m. at M&M Meat Shopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

parking lot. Come by and buy a burger, hot dog, and baked goodies. The barbecue is sponsored by M&M Meat Shops, Taylor Made Cakes, and Ron Ridley Rentals, with music by Nostalgie Band. Hough Memorial Cancer Society is not affiliated with or part of any other cancer agency, nor do we receive funds from any cancer organization.

We have purchased close to $3 million worth of equipment, which can be used for many different procedures. If you have been in our hospital for an operation or scope, you probably had the benefit of equipment purchased by Hough Memorial. Bob McIntosh, president Hough Memorial Cancer Society

Mine would cause little damage Editor: Â Recent criticisms of Taseko Minesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to protect the Taseko River watershed questions the mining companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills and obligation to protect this watershed. One wonders why such a question would even arise. We certainly have the right to expect that the extensive mining experience of Taseko would be able to provide us with professional results, coupled with environmental regulations. Many agree with the philosophy of First Nation elder Ervin Charleyboy that young First Nations people should be proactive and take necessary training in advance of such a project. First Nations people could be taking the training right now to be the professional watch dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yes, possibly even employed by Taseko to ensure that even the minutest environmental failure of any of the proposed mine facilities be recti-

fied in the shortest possible time, not only protecting the Taseko River watershed but the general environment as well. Regarding water pollution and environmental damage to our eco system, the price of natural gas is uncharacteristically low; this is because of a process called fracking. Fracking is pumping surface water, sand, and chemicals into the ground to fracture shale rock releasing otherwise inaccessible natural gas. It takes approximately 200 tanker truck-loads of water to fracture just one well. Fracking is keeping the price of natural gas low, at the expense of the unrecoverable use of water. Additionally, this process has the potential to dewater and pollute aquifers, putting the health of the public at risk as some of this chemically laden water makes its way back to the surface endangering rivers and streams. It is estimated that the water used in approximately 35,000

U.S. fracked wells in 2010 would be enough water to supply 80 or more cities the size of Williams Lake. When fracking comes to the Cariboo-Chilcotin, water will be pumped into the ground to release the natural gas stored beneath this area, and yes eventually it could happen here. The New Prosperity mine, with its built-in safeguards coupled with the prompt action of dedicated environmental watch people, will cause very little environmental damage compared to the North American oil and gas industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing water use. Gas drilling companies are currently using fracking technology here in B.C., having used approximately 260 million gallons of surface water in 2010; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep New Prosperityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental footprint in perspective.

U.S.) who will be competing in barrel racing, steer wrestling, tie-down roping and team roping (9 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stampede arena). The Ranch Challenge event begins at 3 p.m. The rodeo, with all that it en-

tails, is now an 86-year-old Cariboo tradition that signifies (historically) a welcome break from the hard work of daily ranch life for local cattlemen/women, a few days of fun and competition. Local First Nations people love the rodeo also, both as competitors and spectators, travelling in from far-flung places. The trek used to be made via horseback or in wagons; now motor vehicles are the mode of travel. Often for all the rural visitors,

Stampede was the most anticipated event of the year, marking their only visit to town annually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was a never-to-be-missed event for many, a tradition still observed by some folks to this day. Right now, on many local ranches the upcoming Stampede is serving as a great production motivator with ranch hands working hard in what I call the hurry-up-and-letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-get-it-donebefore-Stampede mode! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making silage; the crew

is putting in voluntary hours after dinner to get it all in (the bags) before Friday. On a neighboring outfit, the crew is hustling to get the last batch of calves branded (turned back on range) so as to free themselves up to compete in the Stampede Ranch Challenge events. Yep, they really do want to get to town! Yippeee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo! Liz Twan is a local rancher and freelance columnist for the Tribune.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK June 29 to July 2 Williams Lake Stampede

Greg Sabatino photos

The Williams Lake Youth Soccer Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior players (U11 to U18) wound up their seasons this past Saturday at the Esler Sports Complex at the WLYSA Jamboree. More than 450 players participated in the event. Left: Ranchland Honda Yellow player Jerome Billyboy (right) fires a shot on net while Shoppers Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brody Fenton looks to make a slide tackle in boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; U14 action. Right: M&S Tire and Service Jaggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Melissa Styran battles with Investors Group Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dawn Henley in girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; U14 play.

Stampede Rugby starts Saturday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Twelve menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams and seven womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams will arrive in full force this weekend when the 33rd annual Stampede Rugby Tournament hits the pitch at Ottoman Drive. On the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side Abbotsford, Capilano, the Cariboo Selects, Chilliwack, Courtney, Flatliners (Richmond), Langley, Meralomas (Vancouver), Surrey, Prince George/ SFU, Williams Lake and the Young Bucks will vie for the coveted Stampede tournament title. On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side it will be the

defending champion Williams Lake Hustlers joining Abbotsford, Capilano, Douglas College, Kamloops, Prince George and SFU for the twoday event, which begins Saturday and wraps up Sunday afternoon with finals. In addition three old boys teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Abbotsford, Bayside and Williams Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be in action. Todd Pritchard, member of the Williams Lake Rustlers, said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament will feature some fantastic rugby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The favourites on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side has to be the Young Bucks and Capilano,â&#x20AC;? Pritchard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

Young Bucks have won the tournament three years running but will be pressed this year as the rugby should be very high calibre. There are no weak teams this year.â&#x20AC;? Pritchard added the Rustlers will field a formidable squad, too, featuring several players returning to the lakecity to play in the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be tough to beat this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brendon Pritchard, Nathan Stewart and Riley Ilnicki are coming back from stellar seasons on Vancouver Island.â&#x20AC;? Jake Ilnicki, who just wrapped up captaining the Canadian U20 national team in Salt Lake City, will also

join the Williams Lake squad. For the women, the Hustlers will be vying for their third straight Stampede Rugby title. Canadian National Team member Kayla Moleschi will lead this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, along with returning players Claire Lawrence and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP, Jasmyn Niquidet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old boys division looks to be very tight but Williams Lake will have the most depth and that could play an important factor,â&#x20AC;? Pritchard added. The rugby gets under way both days at 9 a.m., wrapping up by 5 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

Soap box derby a hit The first ever Soap Box Derby in Williams Lake went off without a hitch. Several kids and their cars arrived ready to roll Friday evening at Cariboo GM on Fourth Avenue. The street was closed and transformed into a race track. Adding to the festivities, guests were treated to a barbecue and some eye candy as the Lakers Car Club was on hand with several of its hot rods. Lorne Doerkson, sales manager and partner at Cariboo GM, said the event was a hit as a busy crowd lined the sidewalks to catch the racers descend down the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great time was had by all,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really was a fun evening with great attendance. Many

people suggested they would be building cars for next year!â&#x20AC;? Racers were paired off by weight and age into competitive classes. There, Nathanael Sachetti proved to be the fastest soap box of the night to win the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class Landon Brink took the top spot, while Zoe Wasstrom won the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122; class. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event winner was Colin Llewllyn, while Ty Tugnum won the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; division. Weston Becker also received a trophy for having the best looking soap box and for being the only contestant in a wheelchair. All of the proceeds from the event were donated to Kids Running for Kids.

The 86th Annual Williams Lake Stampede promises to be one of the best yet. One of the major stops on the Canadian Professional Rodeo Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circuit, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stampede a memorable one. For more visit www.williamslakestampede.com.

Locals brave wet conditions at BC Archery Championships Three Cariboo Archers braved severe thunderstorms and incessant rain showers to compete at the BC 3D Archery Championships on the weekend. Ernie Schmid, Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall, all members of the Williams Lake club, travelled to Salmon Arm for the event, June 23-24, featuring more than 150 of the best shooters from through-

out the province. In the Masters Traditional category Schmid shot his way to a silver

medal — his second medal at provincials since 2010. Meanwhile, Streleoff

went on to win his second BC Championship in the Instinctive Traditional category.

Campsall won his ninth consecutive BC Championship in the Masters Open catego-

ry. Additionally, Campsall and Streleoff were chosen for Team BC to

compete at the upcoming Canadian Championships behind held in Vernon this August.

Star blankets bring sharing and healing Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A community workshop that took place over several months culminated on Aboriginal Day, June 21 with participants presenting star blankets they had created. During a presentation held in a classroom at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus, Yunesitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in ?Esgul School principal JoAnne Moiese, also a councillor with the Williams Lake Indian Band, said star blankets are hugely significant to First Nations people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go up for the mountain fast, one of the requirements is that you need to have a star blanket.â&#x20AC;? Moiese said. Quilting teacher Louise Harry, originally from Dog Creek, taught the workshop, beginning in October. Twenty people there were at the beginning, and in the end 10 women completed quilts. The women would eat and pray as they gathered in a room at the school, Moise recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making the star blankets brought the school into the community and the community into the school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it again, it really made us closer as people.â&#x20AC;? Going around the room, each quilter shared the story of her quilt and as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition to give the first blanket away, said who their quilt was being given to. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade 2-4 teacher Patricia Pruim made two. The first one was for her daughter, the other for her son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went through the process and sometimes wondered if it was going to work. My journey in making these blankets was having the strength every day to keep at it and being patient. I think the hardest part was putting the star pieces together,â&#x20AC;? Prium said. Yunesitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in elder Sarah Myers

Translating for Myers, Tsilhqotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in language teacher Filly Brigham said Myers made the biggest blanket in the group because it is a wedding blanket for her daughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is hoping to make another one,â&#x20AC;? Brigham added, saying Myers is hopeful that Harry can lead another workshop in the community. Brigham created a quilt for her sister Sandra, using lots of blue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her favourite colour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I almost gave up and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what kept me going. I made mistakes, but Louise helped me out,â&#x20AC;? she said. Matilda Quilt created a blanket for her grandson who travels with her on the powwow trail every weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done a giveaway for him so I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make this to

give to him.â&#x20AC;? Quilt has other grandchildren and more on the way and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be busy making lots of star blankets in the future. Judy Clement had never sewn on a sewing machine in her life before embarking on the quilt project. Her blanket was for her daughter Caitlin. Caitlin was sitting beside her mom, wrapped in the blanket, jokingly reluctant to give it up for her mom to show the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I heard that you have to give your first blanket away, I knew right away that I was going to give it to Caitlin. She hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen it until now,â&#x20AC;? Judy said, adding she chose pinks and purples because those are her favourite colours and because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passionate. The latter description garnered giggles from around the room. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cook, Charlene

Brigham, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t present in the classroom due to another commitment; however, her blanket was displayed on a table, showing a spray of purples, blues and pinks. Harry is a Kindergarten/Grade 1 teacher at YunKsitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;in, and when it was her turn to talk about teaching the quilting course, she likened it to teaching school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me the biggest thing is bringing parents from the community into the school. The women all put themselves in the position of a child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sewn, some didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have machines and material. We had to gather all those things together.â&#x20AC;? It gave the community members an experience of what a child goes through when they first go to school, she added. Choosing colours, getting along, and working together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A big thing for me was seeing that like children, we adults need a lot of hands-on approach.â&#x20AC;? Indigenous teachings also emerged: sharing, helping, honour, respect and giving, Harry said. Anticipating that giving would be hard for the women because so much work goes into making a blanket, Harry reminded them they would have to part with their gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it changes things though because you have to give it away and you have to make sure that it was just right.â&#x20AC;? Harry has made about 40 blankets and given away at least 35. Holding up one of the blankets sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d almost finished, she explained itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being made for a lady with cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the purples are for; they are for intense healing.â&#x20AC;? Prayers go into the blankets as well, Harry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do a lot of talking, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of prayer. It also allows people the freedom of laughter and talking away from the classroom.â&#x20AC;?

Music, dance, magic and fun for Canada Day Canada Day celebrations in Boitanio Park this year will be filled with family fun in the afternoon and rock and roll in the evening, says event spokesperson Beth Holden. The celebrations kick off at 2 p.m. with a blessing from Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;exelc Williams Lake Indian Band and a welcome by city and CRD representatives. It will be a day of music, dance, magic and fun. Daytime musical performances include Signal Point Drummers, Quintet Plus, the Williams Lake Community Band and the Sugar

Cane Hand Drummers. While people enjoy these performances the Magical Jesaja will wander through the crowd dazzling all with his magical moves and the talented Al-Lisa will paint the faces of young and old alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also happy to welcome the Little Chiefs Elementary School, which offers information about their school, stickers and pens, and a taste of homemade bannock and jam while local nurses will be testing blood pressure and handing out water. The Grade 9-10 art students from Williams Lake Secondary School

will be helping children create a collaborative painting that celebrates Canada Day in the Cariboo and, of course, we will have the traditional giant Canada Day Cake being served by Mayor Kerry Cook, members of the CRD and board members of the CCACS and Stampede Royalty. From 5 to 6 p.m. the sweet voices of Angel Keys Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir will fill the air. Then pull out your dancing shoes and get ready to rock and roll with Williams Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Rossetta Paxton, Randy Pokeda, Pat Myre and Mark Lees in their band called Hwy

97. Their original tunes include influences from traditional bluegrass, classic country, old time fiddle and classic rock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This four-person band has talent, rhythm and energy to spare, Holden says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an evening not to be missed.â&#x20AC;? Paxton recently performed at the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village luncheon and wagon rides event. Holden says Canada Day is presented by the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District, with help from a number of community sponsors.

2011 Stampede princess says farewell Photo submitted

2011 Stampede Princess Bobi Bracewell says a fond farewell to a busy year and welcomes everyone to the 86th annual Williams Lake Stampede this weekend.

Bobi Bracewell Stampede Princess 2011 First off I would like to thank all of those who have helped with the Stampede Queen program, whether sponsoring, volunteering or just being a friend we can talk to. This program has been a really great experience that I am so grateful to

have had the chance to be involved in, and be a representative of our town. We have learned so many useful qualities that we can use toward any future plans we choose to have for ourselves, either going further with an ambassador program or simply going to school to further our education.

The program has helped me improve my public speaking skills, people skills and understanding more about the sport of rodeo. The program is very beneficial — filled with wonderful people pushing us to become the best that we can be. I wish all the future contestants the best of luck and to enjoy every

minute of it. A year goes by way too quickly. 2011 Stampede Queen Davana Mahon, and Stampede Princess Alexia Colton, and I have been introduced to lots of royalty from around the world, ambassadors of B.C. and Canada as well as movie producers for hit shows such as Heartland. The program has

opened many new doors for us to walk through and begin a new adventure. Thank you so much! I can’t say that enough. The time you have all committed towards us and the program is much appreciated. Now hold onto your hats and cheer with me! Yee haa! (for Stampede).

Street Party filled with music and fun for kids and adults People who aren’t taking in the rodeo Saturday will still have plenty to keep them entertained right downtown. After taking in one of the three outdoor community breakfasts, settle in at one of the premier spots to watch Daybreak Rotary’s Stampede Parade with all of its many equine, floats, comical and musical entries. Right after the Stampede Parade Saturday morning, from 10 a.m. to about noon, there will be all sorts of entertainment at the 16th annual Street Party on Oliver Street sponsored by the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Area Association. The street party runs from about noon (after the parade) to 4 p.m. and will have two stages featuring musical entertainment — one in Spirit Square at Oliver Street and First Avenue and the other in the WLCBIA parking lot at the corner of Third Avenue and Oliver Street. All along Oliver Street between First Avenue and Fifth Avenue there will be vendors and activities for children including three huge bouncy toys, craft and game tables, face

painting, a 4-H Club petting zoo, and even a gocart track. There will also be all kinds of vendors selling jewelry, beads, crafts, clothing, art work, and various types of food from fudge, pizza, Ukrainian food, to tube steaks

and more. The regular Saturday Farmer’s Market will be going ahead as usual in Herb Gardner Park. First Nations celebrations will take place in the Shoppers Drug parking lot. Performers in Spirit Square will include Ro-

setta Paxton, who recently performed for the horse-drawn carriage rides and luncheon held at the Seniors Village, performing with her band Hwy 97, Perfect Match, Dynamic Downfall, and a special appearance by the Williams Lake Pipe

Band. Performers at the WLCBIA stage include Cariboo Idol finalists Mark Gilman and Oren Barter, Amber Bowen and a belly dance group. Performers from the Potato House play will also be doing some trav-

elling skits to promote their play which is on stage Saturday evening at the Potato House on First Avenue starting at 7 p.m. In the afternoons Friday, Saturday and Sunday the Williams Lake Rotary Club will be putting on outdoor steak-out

Performances in the Park in Williams Lake This year’s line up for Performances in the Park summer concert series rocks, say organizers. Local and provincial performers will light up the stage in Boitanio Park each Thursday evening from July 5 to Aug.16. From 5 to 6 p.m. performers will cater to children and youth, and from 7 to 8 p.m. acts, oriented toward adults, will be family friendly. The line up includes rock and roll, jazz, bluegrass, dancers, theatre and more. Youth acts are diverse in genre and capture the attention of young and old alike. Local teenager, Robyn Ferguson, will kick off the series at 5 p.m. on July 5 with her renditions of country and soft rock. Later at 7 p.m., Doug Koyama will take the stage and captivate the audience with songs of life, love, peace and truth, yet by listening to his lyrics one would never know. He uses looping, a cappella and improv to create music to the ears. The series unfolds to reveal some of the musical talents of Williams Lake, the surrounding villages and countryside, and the province of B.C. Acts include Horsefly duo Carmen and Dena who, on July 26, will mesh their voic-

es into beautiful harmonies while singing of love loss, self discovery and friendship. On Aug. 9, the members of Big Twang Daddy will gather together from the Cariboo landscape to create folk and rock that will get your toes tapping and your body moving. On July 19, another Horsefly favourite, Pharis and Jason Romero, share their passion and adeptness for roots, folk, early country and old time music with beautiful harmonies. Local bluesy jazz sensation, My Wife’s Quartet, takes the stage July 12 following a performance by an incredible Chilcotin youth, the Magical Jesaja. He has already taken the Quesnel Farmers Market by storm and will perform at Arts Wells on the August long weekend as a part of Potato Dreams. A version of this play, Potato Dreams, will take the stage at 5 p.m. on Aug. 2, featuring Likely Gold, a dramatic group of youths directed by Venta Rutkauskas. These young actors will open for the always entertaining, dance inspiring Maria in the Shower. This Eastside Vancouver foursome shifts with ease from up-tempo swing

to sensitive folk ballad, or energetic samba to subtle waltz. Prepare to dance up a sweat while taking in their captivating performance. Mill Girl Follies, a collective of Can Can dancers from throughout the province, but mostly from Clinton, will take you back in time at 5 p.m. on July 26. Energetic and talented, they will make you want to join their troop. Other youth oriented openers include the local Uke Tuba Trio whose fun music is entertaining and reining from Hope. On Aug. 9, the Ta Daa Lady brings her mesmerizing charms. Tap dancing, puppetry and singing are just aspects of her presentation. To keep everyone on their toes, the Aug. 16 concert format, the series finale, is a little bit different. Big Lake youth Sam Tudor mingles his musical talents with the likes of Marin Patenaude and Drum & Bell Tower in two sets of great music starting at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Performances in the Park is presented by the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District.

barbecue dinners in Lake City Ford’s back parking lot from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Friday and 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Start your morning off with breakfast at one of the outdoor community breakfasts put on by the Rotary Club in the Lake City Ford back parking lot 7 to 11 a.m. Friday through Monday. Friday through Monday the Knights of Columbus pancake breakfasts run 7 to 11:30 a.m. in the Save-On-Foods parking lot. Saturday night the entertainment continues with the band Savage West in the Let R’ Buck Saloon behind the Stampede Grandstand and the band Appaloosa performs at the Barn Dance in the Curling Rink. Appaloosa and Savage West also join forces to provide the dancing entertainment in the Let R’ Buck Saloon on Friday and Sunday nights. One way to get a close up view of the animal athletes participating in the rodeo is to take in the animal athlete tours offered behind the bucking chutes on Sunday and Monday mornings starting at 9 a.m.

Horsefly Arts on the Fly festival program announced Five Alarm Funk, Fish and Bird, Linda McRae and many more artists will be performing at the Arts on the Fly music and dance festival in Horsefly July 13-14. “Horsefly, B.C.’s incredibly popular summertime festival, Arts on the Fly, is going full steam ahead with its seventh annual festival,” says musician Pharis Romero. This year she says the festival will be on Friday, July 13 and Satur-

day, July 14 with a full schedule on the Friday evening. Growing from a single day festival in 2006, she says the festival now attracts audiences from across western Canada and beyond, with acts from around the world brought to this small, beautiful town. Friday night opens at 6:30 p.m. with a special opening ceremony featuring local elders, cowboy poetry and special programming.

It continues with a full night of entertainment with local favourites Jesse LeBourdais and Drum & Bell Tower, all-girl roots-rock act Jungal, the Vancouver-based LunaSea Circus Troupe, roots/ folk award-winners Fish and Bird, and local rockers Big Twang Daddy. Saturday opens at 11 a.m. with local bluegrass-folk ensemble Jenny’s Jam, then youth band Calling April, the high school duet of Sam and Rowan, the intricate

sounds of the harp-cello duo Crossbow, local singer-songwriter Colin Easthope, and Horseflybased lady of folk and blues Marin Patenaude. The evening show continues with former Spirit of the West member and country crooner Linda McRae, the eclectic jazzroots of Danielle Savage, outlaw country singer Joey Only, and the classic western sounds of the Little Horsefly Country Band. “The last two acts of

the evening will keep the crowd up and dancing; Tim Readman and the Eire Born Irish Dancers were a huge hit at last year’s festival, and this year we are proud to present the 10-piece funk powerhouse of Vancouver’s Five Alarm Funk,” Romero says. Both days will showcase “tweener” acts primarily by local and regional youth. Saturday will also feature an all-acoustic stage with performances by Pharis

& Jason Romero, Fish and Bird, Doug Koyama, Crossbow, Christian Hoelderl, and Troy Forcier. Festival goers can take part in workshops — laughter yoga, vocal improvisation, and Irish dancing, wander through the vendors market, enjoy a delicious meal by chef Martin Comtois, or bring the young ones to Saturday’s Kids’ Zone. Our Kids’ Zone this year will run most of the day Saturday, with work-

shops where kids can make a ukulele with local expert lutheiers, or a didgeridoo to take home, among many other ongoing arts and crafts. Advance tickets are available online at www. artsonthefly.com, in Horsefly at Clarke’s General Store, or in Williams Lake at the Bean Counter and the Gecko Tree.

Legion supports community in many ways Museum raffle Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer This week is Legion Week in B.C. and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 is inviting the community to come to the legion and learn more about their programs. “The three key things we want to get out this year are join, donate and remember,” says second vice-president Bonnie O’Neill. Branch 139 currently has 350 members but more members are always welcome and needed. Taking out a $50 a year membership will help veterans and their dependents but also provide other benefits even if a member doesn’t have time for volunteering or recreation at the legion. Members are eligible for discounts or extra benefits provided by various supporting sponsors such as hotels, medical travel insurance, travel packages, retirement communities, and products such as hearing aids. People can also now donate $5 to the legion by texting the Legion to 20222, O’Neill notes. The Branch 139 executive includes president Joyce Norberg, first vice-president Jan Hermiston, second vice-president Bonnie O’Neill, treasurer Elaine Winslow, and directors Vivian MacNeil, Al Giddens, Al Tranq, Jack Stickney, and Debbie Gogolin, plus many volunteers. Except for five paid employees, O’Neill says all of the legion fundraisers, activities and kitchen are run by volunteers. “We try to do one big event a month, plus monthly steak nights, and weekly pasta nights to keep the building going and the bills paid,” O’Neill says. She says the twiceyearly ladies night dinner, fashion show and entertainment nights have proved to be quite popular. She says they have a very active group of volunteers who keep the kitchen humming with low cost lunches and dinners. “These ladies we have

Income from the downstairs hall rentals, special events, lunches, dinners, and the bar lounge pay for the upkeep on the building. The legion provides monthly luncheons for seniors upstairs and the Legion Ladies Auxiliary also puts on lunches for seniors downstairs. “These are feel good days of the month,” O’Neill says. “I love to come and visit with the seniors.” For $4 she says any senior can come and enjoy the lunch and hear the Old Time Fiddlers play. As part of their community service the downstairs hall is also home to the local Army Cadets. The community’s two pipe-bands also practice in the hall, volunteers teach various dances on Wednesday evenings, and September to May the dart and pool leagues meet at the legion. “It’s part of our community service that we make our building available to the community sometimes as in-kind donations,” O’Neill says. The legion also has a campsite on Felker Lake which is rented out for parties and weddings and is available to members and guests for camping. “Our meat draws on Friday and Saturdays are fundraisers for the community,” O’Neill says. “We have been a branch since 1934 and in that time have put well over $500,000 into the community just through the meat draws.”

Meat for the draws is purchased at Margett’s Meats. “It’s wonderful meat,” O’Neill says. “He has a very good product and is very community minded.” During the past year alone the meat draws have raised more than $10,000 which has been distributed to Little Britches Rodeo, Dry Grad, Hough Memorial Cancer Society, Canadian Cancer Society, Army and Sea Cadets, Williams Lake and New Caledonia pipe bands, Canadian Diabetes, Juvenile Diabetes Research, Parkinsons society, Maureen Saunders School of Dance, Red Cross, CHILD Foundation, Easter Seals, Salvation Army Food Kitchen, Alzheimer’s Society, two bursaries, MFRC, Denny House, Minor Hockey, and Youth Soccer. The legion members organize the annual Poppy Campaign in the fall and Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11, and wear red on Fridays to support those serving Canada. “The legion is here for all veterans, not just legion members,” O’Neill stresses. “Our service officer is here for all veterans and their dependents.” Vivian MacNeil is the service officer and can be reached at 250-3927311. The Poppy Campaign in B.C./Yukon raises approximately $3.6 million a year which supports a variety of programs and authorized expenditures for veterans and their dependents such as provision of medical equipment, funding for research and furnishing

for seniors care facilities. Poppy Funds support a veteran’s transition program at the University of British Columbia for relief and recovery for trauma-related stress; assistance for veterans to attend B.C. Institute of Technology to transition to new employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. The B.C./Yukon Command is also the largest non-profit provider of veterans’ and seniors’ housing with more than 3,000 units and developments presently underway, including housing for homeless veterans such as Cockrell House in Victoria. The BC/Yukon Command has 75,000 members serving from 156 legion branches and 100 accompanying Legion Ladies Auxiliaries, which collectively contribute in excess of $3 million in support of community health, social and educational programs for all citizens. Members contribute more than 600,000 volunteer hours each year; support more than 400 youth groups; donate $7 million a year to community, health education and sports programs; raise more than $21 million through gaming for academic and youth programs including being the largest contributor to Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and Cadets; sponsor the Spinoza Bear Program comforting sick children; provide bursaries and scholarships in excess of $250,000 a year; contribute more than $405,000 funds to medical research and for specialized medi-

cal equipment; and is a longstanding and significant contributor to the B.C. Senior’s Games. In partnership with other provincial Commands, B.C. Athletics and Athletics Canada the Legion is the sole sponsor of the National Track and Field Championships and Training Camp for 12 to 17 year olds, a grooming program for Canada’s national teams. For more than 25 years the legion has also endowed the chair of the Family Practice at the University of British Columbia, creating innovative opportunities for family practice in rural and under serviced communities. More information is available on the legion website at www.legionbcyukon.ca.

The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin is selling raffle tickets on two nights of accommodation at the Hills Guest Ranch plus a $125. dining voucher. The tickets are $5 and available at the museum. Members are also

asked to sell tickets if they can. The tickets are in books of 10. The books can be picked up at the museum office. The draw will be made on Dec. 1 in time for Christmas giving, says museum manager Pat Skoblanuik.

SENIORS SCENE American Badger spotted in Horsefly Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune On Tuesday, June 11, an American Badger showed up at Walters’ field across the road from their house in Horsefly. American badgers are a “species at risk,” as only about 200 of them are estimated to be alive in B.C. Normally they are nocturnal, but this one may have been hungry as it was out hunting gophers in the daylight and I was able to film a couple of short videos

Rare American Badger spotted. of it as well as take numerous photos. The badger stayed

in a burrow next to our house for two days and then moved across the

field to another location where it was more in the open. Their habitat is open fields, and they have suffered much predation from people over the years because of the damage they do by digging huge holes as they hunt mice and gophers, or dig up roots. This one seems to have moved on to greener pastures, or more private hunting grounds on its own, as we haven’t seen it since Thursday night when it was romping around after dusk.

Badgers are solitary animals, and because they are so elusive there is no accurate count of their numbers, nor much information regarding their breeding habits, or if there are colonies of them somewhere like groundhogs and gophers. I had never seen a badger before now, nor have many people I know, so I am sharing these pictures with you. Remember they are a species at risk, and not open to be hunted or trapped.

STAMPEDE BREAKFAST Saturday, June 30th 7 am to 12 noon

Branch 93 delegates attend 80th OAPO convention Win Gooding Special to The Tribune We are now officially into summer, although it doesn’t feel like summer with all the downpour of rain we’ve been having lately. My poor flowers are literally drowning, but looking on the bright side it’s so nice to have the countryside so green again. Last week four delegates from our Branch 93 attended the B.C. Old Age Pensioners Convention celebrating their 80th year. It was held in Agassiz with 10 board members, 39 delegates, 29, guests and two proxies in attendance. The B.C. OAPO was established in 1932 and incorporated in 1937. This was the first organized group of senior citizens in North America.

They are non-political and non-sectarian. The aims and objectives were to protest the rights and interests of old age pensioners and prospective pensioners and to endeavor to secure and maintain fair and just legislation to enable them to maintain their dignity and self-respect as pioneer citizens of Canada. We continue this practice on behalf of all senior citizens about concerns expressed by our members in the form of resolutions submitted to annual conventions. Retiring president Fred Coates gave a report on many current concerns of our members and all seniors. He mentioned some of the controversial changes to the proposed Bill C-38: increasing the qualifying age of pensioners and GIS to 67;

capping the federal contribution to universal health care service, weakening food safety inspection by the Canada Food Inspection Agency, reducing environmental assessments of major projects including the proposed pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to Kitimat, the free trade deal that the federal and B.C. governments are putting together called CETA with unbelievable issues included to reduce our Canadian rights and sovereignty, to name a few concerns. B.C. ombudsman Kim Carter, author of Best of Care: Getting it Right for Seniors in B.C., gave a detailed talk on her report which was very interesting and concerns all seniors. Two workshops were put on by the Council of Senior Citizens Organiza-

Sylvia McLeary spoke on aging and memory covering the causes and the risk factors to be aware of.

“They call the Cariboo home” From the Okanagan to the wilds of the Chilcotin Marilyn Livingston and Clay Hett Special to The Tribune It was nine years ago in April that we packed up our extremely comfortable middle-class life in one of the most sought after locations in B.C., the Okanagan. We had fallen in love with the wild, remote and beautiful Chilcotin, specifically Eagle Lake Ranch. Eagle Lake Ranch is at the very end of a long and rugged dirt trail and depending on the season, it is either seven kilometers of pot holes and dust, water and mud, or the arm-strong steering 4X4 battle of snow. There was no power or telephone and the closest neighbour was about 35 kilometers. We were not the first to be caught with the Eagle Lake Ranch dream; it was originally homesteaded in the 1960s by the original owners, Lou and Doris Haines. They lived the first four years through winters of 50 below in a 12-foot holiday trailer. Lou and Doris built the first log house; it is a work of art. Every detail in this house is done by the hands of two people, with no electricity, no power tools, only hard work. The house was designed similar to a teepee, six sides with a hand-built fireplace in the centre for central heating. This is now our beautiful guest house, an authentic Chilcotin home. When we first arrived at the ranch it had been vacant for a few months. The door was open. The water line was frozen, the basement was flooded with six inches of water and many small rodents had taken refuge in the house. In fact, we too lived in our holiday trailer for a few months before moving into the house. We had no idea of the challenges and adventures that were about to unfold. I can tell lots of stories of not enough hay, so we are selling the cows, but the stock trailer is stuck

ing, clucking, baaing and neighing under our feet. Of course the gates were all stuck, the wrong way. Funny how the horses and mules can jump out, but they have to go back in by the gates? They stood and watched as we chipped away the ice to get them open. Who’s running this show? So what was it that kept us there working longer and harder than we ever had, freezing winter after winter, struggling through the extreme elements to keep our cow herd growing? When you drive down the driveway and the trees are covered with snow, the sunshine hits each and every snowflake and it is like a crystal tunnel. You know you are not alone, as you can see the well-used trails in the snow of the moose, deer, cougar, rabbit and wolf. The moon shines so bright the trees have shadows and the sky is a mass of stars. The swans fly over in the spring and fall on their migration route. We can spend the afternoon out on the crystal clear lake and not see another person. Each and every day brings the unexpected and there is always a small element of danger, be it wild animals or weather. Nothing is comfortable or normal. It is always a test and we have been challenged in every way. Our three children have thrived, and frankly we could not have made it without their help. They were home-schooled until Grade 10, but in far more than just academics. They have learned to live without power and then build a complete alternative energy system, cook on a wood cook stove, fix and drive machinery and pull a calf when necessary. When our children leave the ranch, life will be a cakewalk. Our nine years of work and dedication have paid off and we have carved out a beautiful piece of paradise.
