Rolling van drags woman down hill

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is confident there’ll be some positive changes to the DriveABLE program by the fall. “I’ve been working very closely with the ministry as parliamentary secretary for rural communities to make the DriveABLE accessible and close to home,” Barnett says. “At this time all I can say is that everybody should pay attention. If any senior gets a letter I want them to call my office if they have to go out of town for a test.” In the fall, she hopes to see some good news happen in the region. If people fail the computer test they can take a driving test with a car provided by the province. “Many, many seniors have said they have no problem going to take a test, as we all don’t, if we’re not safe on the road. Sometimes we think we’re safe, but it’s still good to get tested.”

A woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries after becoming trapped under a runaway van. Police say the owner of a van that was parked at the top of the hill at the Signal Point Trailer Park reported that somehow it started rolling down the hill. The passenger door was open and, as it started to roll away, trapped a woman under the van. She was dragged for approximately 90 feet down the hill and sustained injuries to her face, legs, and arms. A second woman was in the rear of the van with her seat belt on. The van eventually hit a ditch and crashed into a chain link fence by Signal Point. The female passenger was uninjured. The female who was pinned under the door of the vehicle sustained minor injures. She was taken to Cariboo Memorial Hospital by Emergency Health Services for treatment.

Panel visits New Prosperity site

Weather outlook: Mainly cloudy/risk of thunderstorm today, high of 24 C. Cloudy Friday, high of 25 C.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A site visit by the review panel and its secretariat for the New Prosperity gold-copper mine project took place July 12 and 13. In advance of the visit, Stswecem’c Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek Band) asked if members could accompany the panel during the site visit, but was turned down. On June 16, Stswecem’c chief David Archie wrote a letter to panel chair Bill Ross expressing the band’s disappointment. “Your continued intention to

exclude us while visiting our territory indicates to us that you have lack of respect for our nation and for our rights and responsibilities within our own territory,” Archie wrote, adding the panel looking at the former proposed project invited all participants to ensure a fair hearing. Responding to Archie’s letter on June 20, Ross wrote explaining the intent of the visit was to gain better understanding of the geography of the proposed project area in order to thoroughly analyze the environmental impact statement. “It was the intention of the pan-

el to exclude all parties during the visit out of fairness and not as a lack of respect,” Ross said in the letter. He also said when the previous panel visited the site in June 2009, it did not take any parties along. Ross indicated the panel may make another site visit if that’s the best way to understand the environmental assessment, but wasn’t making any commitment that a second visit will occur. Archie responded that his band would want to be notified if the panel is taking a second visit. “We would consider you com-

ing into our territory unescorted if you make a definite commitment in writing to have a second visit that includes our people. Without that we cannot support your visiting the territory if we are not present,” he wrote, adding the band wants to be alerted if, when and where the panel will go if it revisits the site of the proposed mine. Ross, however, said he wanted to assure Archie that during the panel hearings there will be opportunity for the band to explain the importance of the area and the land to the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem.

Residents want forestry road graded Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer George Gilmore has lived on a forestry access road in the Cariboo since 1992. The road has not been used for forestry in five years and has not been graded since, he says. “It’s an eight-kilometre stretch with businesses on it. There are 19 people at this end of the lake that utilize it when it’s in good shape. Right now it’s a hazard.” In 2011, Gilmore gathered 150 signatures on a petition he gave to MLAs Bob Simpson and Donna Barnett, hoping to have some work done on the road. “There were people on the petition from Alberta, Chilliwack, Washington, Vancouver; they all come up here and they access all this beautiful area,” he explains. With the long week-

end coming up and people flocking to the area, Gilmore is concerned because the road is in such bad shape. Jeanette Turpin is in her fifth year of owning and operating the Crooked Lake Resort, located at the end of the same forest access road. The resort has seen its RV traffic decline by 50 per cent in recent years, Turpin says. “I have thought about how much of this impact is due to the economic times but then when I check back to our RV site rentals in 2009 — at the height of the economic turmoil — that is where it shows us being 50 per cent busier.” Last year the resort had mineral explorers staying there. Turpin had to loan them some timbers and chains so they could get past some of the washed out roads and into their work areas.

“I can bore you with several more horror stories about flat tires, a broken axle, an aluminum boat that bounced so bad on his trailer that it wore a hole on the side of his boat etc, etc. but I am sure you get the point.” Turpin pays $4,000 in property taxes, which she says she isn’t against paying. However, her property is off the grid. She pays extra for the use of water that’s coming down off the mountain and does not receive fire protection or road maintenance. She’d be willing to pool tax money with other residents to maintain the road if she could get a rebate on her taxes, but that’s not possible, she says. “I understand that we are in poor economic times, of constraint, and I have asked MLA Donna Barnett, the front line forestry staff,

and their senior management about looking at the issue to see if we can brainstorm some solutions.” Cariboo Chilcotin Forest District manager Mike Pedersen says he has empathy for their frustrations; however, he says he has a very limited budget for maintenance of forest service roads. “My main focus is on the recreational sites and that we’ve got an agreement that we provide maintenance to those roads so people can access those recreational sites,” Pedersen says. “We get a priority listing from recreation. They provide some money and then our engineering branch chips in some money. It’s a shared approach to maintaining access into prime recreation sites.” Not all the recreation sites are dealt that way, but the prime ones are,

he explains. Other resorts in the region have taken road maintenance on themselves and have a roaduse agreement with the ministry. “They hire somebody to come in that has the insurance to grade the road for them so that there’s access for their customers.” It would cost about $1,000 to pay a contractor to grade the eight-kilometre stretch; however, Gilmore and Turpin are reluctant to pay for the maintenance. “The government can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a bicycle trail on the seawall in Vancouver, they can put millions and millions to the Pemberton Highway and up to the ski hill, but they can’t spend a thousand dollars on a little chunk of road?” Gilmore asks. He and his neighbours could grade the road themselves, he

Psychic Fair

suggests. However, they would be liable and possibly ticketed if they did. “I’m 63 years old. I’m not going to move. I love this place out here. I just want a little bit of something for the money I pay in taxes and everyone else out here does too. We’re not asking them to grade the road every year; even every other year would be OK,” Gilmore says. Turpin says she wants the list of priority recreation roads reviewed. If roads are being plowed and graded because they are the ones that have always been, then that’s not good enough, she says. “As an example, the road into Hen-Ingram Lake was graded this year. There is no one living out there, nor are there any businesses. How is that a priority road? I think the limited funds they do have for maintaining the road

could be better spent if they were to review their priorities and spending.”

Economic report shows growth Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city councillor Sue Zacharias is glad to see airport passenger and new home construction are on the rise. According to the city’s latest economic indicator report, in the first half of 2012, 17,054 passengers came through the airport. “2008 was our biggest year with 17,611 passengers and we’re climbing back up there. I think travel is always an indicator, “ Zacharias said. In new home construction there were 12 homes constructed for a value of $2.6 million. “It’s exciting to see new home construction and that the value of homes is up, too.” Home construction continues to fluctuate as the report showed in 2008 there were 15 homes constructed, only six in 2009, 14 in 2010, and 10 in 2011. Voicing concerns about the vacancy rate being high at 10.7 per cent, up from 7.9 per cent in 2011, Zacharias asked staff why the rates are higher than the 3.4 per cent average in other cities of similar size. City social development co-ordinator Anne Burrill explained the high vacancy rate

reflects the number of three-plus bedroom units available in Williams Lake. “That vacancy rate is around 24 per cent so it pushes our vacancy rate higher,” Burrill said, adding there are very few one-bedroom units available. Other statistics in the report include building permits — 69 with permitted value of $3,9 million, down from 76 in 2011 at a value of $5.2 million. There is only one major building project listed for 2012 being Platform Properties second development, with a permit value of $908,654. Business licenses are at the highest level since 2007 with 76 in 2012, compared to 48 in 2011. Unemployment rates, however, remain higher than the provincial rate, with the Cariboo being at 7.8 per cent compared to 6.7 per cent. However, that is not broken down to reflect the rate in Williams Lake specifically. House sales are down from 2010 and 2011, while the average selling price is increasing. In 2012 the average selling price for a residential home is $244,903, a total of 156 property and home sales occurred for a value of $32.9 million.

Air monitoring station to be installed Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A new air quality monitoring station is being installed by the Ministry of Environment on the roof of the Williams Lake Fire Hall. Pinnacle Pellet of Williams Lake has provided the funds to cover the $12,000 cost of a total suspended particulate unit, plus filters, while the Ministry of Environment is covering the rest of the costs for the station.

The city is providing the site for installation and the power. Last week Williams Lake City Council approved the installation of the station. Prior to the construction of the new fire hall there was a monitoring station at the site. It was dismantled as a result of the fire hall construction and reconfiguration of the network in Williams Lake. In a report to council, general manager of planning and operations

Geoff Goodall said the costs to the city will not be significant and the city welcomes the addition of the station. “It is in an area of town where we do get a number of complaints about fine particulates and air quality so we thought it was important to get this station in place,” Goodall said. The site is intended to assist in managing local sources, such as the stack emissions from Pinnacle Pellet plant and Tolko sawmill’s en-

ergy system, and road dust, which are subject to complaints about air quality regarding both dust and fine particulate emissions, MOE communications manager Suntanu Dalal explains in an e-mail response. Staff from the Ministry of Environment will be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the station. Dalal explains the monitors will provide PM 2.5 and total particulate matter (TPM) data according to the Nation-

al Air Pollutant Surveillance Program schedule of one 24-hour composite sample per six days. Once the new station is installed, the information collected will add to the existing two continuous and two non-continous stations already in place in Williams Lake. Council authorized city staff to sign a fiveyear memorandum of understanding with MOE, and once the agreement is signed the station will be installed, Dalal says.

Bears released back into wild Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After spending a few days in “bear jail” a grizzly sow and two yearling cubs in Nemiah Valley have been released. The three bears had become too comfortable around residences and walking the roadways in the area, says Cariboo Chilcotin conservation officer Sgt. Len Butler. “We captured the bears and re-released

them, hoping that they are not going to cause any more problems for the public out there,” he says. In specific situations, if bears are not garbage habituated, or there is not anything locally that will attract the bears, conservation officers do a “hard release” at the site. “Of course the site is not a residential area, but more along the lines of larger acreages out

there. Right at the site we capture them. We keep them in what is almost like bear jail for a couple of days. Then we release them with aversion techniques, an example being shooting them with rubber bullets as they’re running away.” It’s a technique that’s been used in the last couple of years that works with some bears because they realize they don’t want to be in that spot, Butler explains.

“We’re not moving them 100 kilometres and two days later they’re coming back. We’re starting to find some success, but it has to be the right situation for sure. If it’s garbage habituated, it’s not going to work.” If the bears are there because the land owner has a really good spot for them, such as thick bushed areas, then it’s worth a try, he says. The recent effort in

Nemiah Valley is the fourth time Butler has tried the bear jail. “It’s been successful, especially with sows and cubs. We just finished doing that one about a week and a half ago.” Denise Koepke, summer student working at the Xeni Gwet’in First Nations Office in Nemiah Valley, says so far the bears have not returned. “There’s been no news of them coming around,” Koepke says.

Sxoxomic students receive awards Liz Twan photo

The Sxoxomic School at Alkali Lake operates on a slightly different calendar than most area schools. As many Esketemc First Nation band members are employed in the forest industry it was decided a number of years ago to adopt a schedule more friendly to family holidays and time together (time off in April for breakup). As a result, the calendar year for the children who attend the little community school at Alkali Lake doesn’t end until July 13. On the evening of July 12, the school provided the community a barbecue dinner prior to the Youth Recognition and Awards presentations later that evening. The major awards, presented by Sxoxomic School principal Peter Bowman, were presented as follows: Jarrod Johnny (co-winner/most improved), Casey Thomas (cultural), Elektra Johnson (co-winner/most improved plus sportsmanship), Waylon Harry (athletic), Kaely Johnny (attendance), Danielle Robbins (artistic) and Myla Johnson (academic). The T-shirts that all of the students are wearing in the photo are part of an annual tradition recognizing the youth recognition evening and each person in attendance on the evening receives one. This 2012 T-shirt features a white remembrance ribbon logo inscribed with the initials N.P. to honour the memory of the late Nicholas Paul, a former Sxoxomic student, fellow classmate and friend, who passed away recently after losing a valiant battle against cancer. Nicholas’ mother Zena, father James and other family members were there to hand out the T-shirts. Nic’s grandmother Barbara Chelsea was also honoured during the evening, accepting a beautiful Pendleton blanket from the school band as she has retired after 20plus years of teaching kindergarten.

CRD chair nominated for UBCM executive The Cariboo Regional District agreed to nominate CRD Chair Al Richmond for the position of third vice-president on the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 2012/2013 Executive. Elections will be held during the 2012 UBCM Convention in September. The CRD says having representation on the UBCM Executive ensures that the Cariboo Chilcotin has a

provincial voice. This organization has served and represented the interests of local governments in B.C. since 1905. CRD supports Nina Lake (Cedar Creek) dam The CRD will send a letter to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in support of the Likely Chamber of

Commerce’s opposition to the proposed decommissioning of the Nina Lake (Cedar Creek) dam if no one is willing to take liability for its maintenance. In 2011, the province classified this dam as “very high consequence,” meaning that a failure of this structure would risk damage or destruction of infrastructure and property, and could pose high risk to public safety. During the course of

this study, the ministry concluded to divest itself of the liabilities associated with the Nina Lake dam structure and indicated there was no justification to retain responsibility for it. CRD applies for funding for Central Cariboo projects The regional district’s application to the Community Tourism Opportunities (CTO) grant program in the amount of $23,000 has

been approved. On behalf of the McLeese Lake Recreation Society and the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, the CRD submitted the application to the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation for funding to install wheelchair accessible wilderness trail kiosks and a visitor information kiosk at McLeese Lake as well as an arts and culture route in the central Cariboo.

The 10 per cent solution

Summertime in Alberta

e did something odd last week, taking a mini-vacation to Alberta (a wee bit of work) and Saskatchewan for a visit with my youngest son, as my picture-framer, Bruce Charbonneau (Frame Creations by Bruce), and I had been invited to exhibit my photographs (his amazing frame-work) at the World Hereford Conference in Olds, Alta. from July 16-18. Bruce and wife S u e Cattle hauled Fodder the artLiz Twan work, my husband Bronc hauled me and â&#x20AC;&#x153;nagginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Noraâ&#x20AC;? (my GPS unit) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; aptly named because she nags and whines continuously (turn left, recalculating) each time we stray from the highlightedroute (often), keeping it up in spite of numerous requests to shut up, persisting until we pull her plug and restore good, old-fashioned, silence! She is, however, a saviour within cities. When we travel, the route chosen is that which takes us nearest to things rural, secondary roads that allow us to slow (without causing trafficmayhem) to view ranches, farms and fields. At Olds, we were stationed in the International Hospitality Room. The daily interaction with cattle breeders from Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Hungary, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Uruguay and the U.S. (and Canada) added new perspectives. The Irish men wanted to know how we kept the weeds at bay (way less here, they believed); our response â&#x20AC;&#x201D; constant vigilance, hard work (hand-pulling, spraying, etc.), sheer stubbornness! A wonderful few days, although language was a bit of a barrier at times. It seemed that the commonalities of raising cattle overcame that; the guests and visitors were from all walks of life but had many interesting tales to share if you made the effort to listen. We ended with a visit to Regina (youngest sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new home on the outskirts of the city). Back home again, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well-rested after eight sleeps in cool (air-conditioned) bedrooms; a welcome respite from the sweltering heat we departed in the Alkali valley, the week previous. They had a lightning-caused forestfire while we were away. Liz Twan is a local rancher and freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint

B.C. pops cork on wine rules We have to applaud the latest move by the B.C. provincial government to start the process of freeing up trade in wine between Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provinces. It was, perhaps, naive to have thought that once the federal government eliminated its 1928 prohibition on shipping wines between the provinces, consumers would be able to freely ship their favourite across provincial lines. Instead, jealous of their prerogatives, many provinces responded to the eagerly awaited change, either with regulations nearly as restrictive as the now defunct prohibition-era law, or by setting up committees to study what they should do. Even B.C., where both the ruling Liberal party and the opposition NDP had spoken out in favour of eliminating the federal prohibition, government responded to the news that parliament had passed Bill C-311 with regula-

tions limiting the quantity of wine a person could bring into the province, and outright forbidding Internet sales and shipping. That changed when Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor, announced that B.C. was opening its borders to tariff-free direct shipping of wines for personal consumption, as long as they were grown and produced in the shipping province. The province can only regulate incoming shipments, so B.C. wineries are still unable to ship to other provinces; while it may have take a few weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really, moving very quickly for government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; B.C. has boldly stepped away from the pack. We can only hope that B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership in this area will encourage other provinces to recognize the realities and opportunities of living in a wired world and begin to lower the barriers on their sides of the border. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penticton Western News

had the pleasure of attending a Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) sponsored event in Quesnel last week at which CUPE B.C. President Barry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill outlined the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 per cent shiftâ&#x20AC;? in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending habits in favour of local producers and businesses. This is a timely and worthwhile c a m paign MLA that merits closer Musings attention Bob Simpson from local government and business organizations in our region. The 10 per cent shift campaign is intended to show people they can actively help to create sustainable economic growth in their communities by deliberately shifting 10 per cent of their existing household spending to local goods and services and locally owned businesses. Ideas and examples of how to make this shift are provided on the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, www.tenpercentshift.ca, along with an opportunity to take the â&#x20AC;&#x153;10 per cent pledge.â&#x20AC;? During the session in Quesnel, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill gave numerous examples of communities that have actively promoted this shift in spending and the positive, and cumulative, impacts that accrued to workers and businesses alike. Given the sorry and uncertain state of the global economy, anything we can do to foster a stronger local economy will help us all in the long run. While the overall intent of CUPEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign is similar to other â&#x20AC;&#x153;shop localâ&#x20AC;? initiatives, the key difference is the specific target it establishes for spending locally and the fact that a large public sector union is actively educating its members about the community benefits of keeping their money circulating in their local economy. The shift Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill is promoting should become part of our overall strategy to mitigate the economic impacts of the mountain pine beetle epidemic, and I applaud his and CUPE BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to get us all to support our local economies. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Dust and smoke need to end Question of the week Editor:

We are appalled and disgusted that there has not been anything done about the smoke spewing over our beloved valley. The filthy dust and constant residue on the streets all around the pellet plant is very concerning, particularly on a windy day. Driving into Williams Lake from

the south, there is always a blue haze over the city and the surrounding hills. What kind of first impression does it give to our visitors? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why there has not been more protests from the citizens of Williams Lake. It is time that our city council stood up and stopped this mess. That is what they are there for, to look after our health and well be-

ing. The pellet plant is the worst offender and should be made to clean up its plant or move it further out of town or close. Nobody seems to want to take the initiative to get rid of this problem. Why? Dick and Nola Poole Williams Lake

Follow the land-use plan for future timber supply Editor: The Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan was developed as a compromise over many years of public involvement by industry, conservationists, recreationists, and others, and must continue. A large proportion ofÂ B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses are small enterprises. Therefore, it is important to keep encouraging this sector, and the many jobs found in small business. The official Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan does provide a balanced way of using forest resources, and en-

couraging a variety of small businesses, while respecting the unique wildlife found here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep these opportunities open for all. Yes, there is a place for community forests, smaller ranches and forest-related businesses in B.C. These enterprises donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come at the expense of large forest corporations, but actually develop a greater share of the forest resource. It is critically important to continue the land use planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive arrangements, which are made for a wide range of resource groups, and

have been proven to work. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continue to make it operational, and not take cheap short cuts that would undermine the CaribooChilcotin Land Use Plan. It is paramount that we have true, authentic consultations and involvement of our First Nations neighbours, to work out greater sharing of our resources. Also, area-based forest tenures, and the long-term availability of water, must be part of our future deliberations. George Atamanenko 150 Mile House

Greed puts civilization in jeopardy Editor: $11 million â&#x20AC;Ś was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;average compensationâ&#x20AC;? for an S&P CEO in 2010 â&#x20AC;Ś while the unstable world still wallows in the wreckage of an ongoing global financial crisis.Â Seven of the top 10 Global 500 are oil corporations. Shell Oil is number one.Â Wall Street greed put the world in global recession (2008). Did LIBOR banks (16) collude â&#x20AC;Ś putting many countries, states, municipalities â&#x20AC;Ś people near or in bankruptcy â&#x20AC;ŚÂ while the power/elite enlarge their unregulated personal fortunes? Are the working/unemployed people â&#x20AC;&#x153;mereâ&#x20AC;? pawns? Within the nation (U.S.), boasting it is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wealthiestâ&#x20AC;? country in the world â&#x20AC;Ś 25 per cent of working people â&#x20AC;&#x153;earnâ&#x20AC;? below the poverty line. In some countries, 25 per cent protest â&#x20AC;ŚÂ being unemployed while able and willing to work â&#x20AC;Ś

50 per cent youth unemployment exists. While nations are in crisis â&#x20AC;Ś children starve unacceptably. The elderly and youth die first.Â Pity the poor billionaires! Unhealthily stressed â&#x20AC;Ś overworked, under-paid, unorganized, under-nourished with unaffordable health and dental care, degrading public policy â&#x20AC;Ś education â&#x20AC;ŚÂ social services â&#x20AC;Ś social safety nets â&#x20AC;Ś are now a commonplace part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;privatizationâ&#x20AC;? for supporting the one per cent power/elite striving for more wealth/power. Twenty-one million Americans will still have no health insurance after Obama-care (Affordable Health Care Act?) Owners of slaves had to take care of their property.Â Wage slaves on their own create more wealth for the power/elite. Undesired â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pâ&#x20AC;? word (poverty) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? word (welfare) contrasts with â&#x20AC;&#x153;untouchableâ&#x20AC;? government corporate welfare.

A successful number one Shell Oil drilling in the high Arctic â&#x20AC;Ś will bring a rush of oil corporations to the Arctic. The final corporate assault for oil, coal, natural â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleanâ&#x20AC;? gas, minerals and remaining natural resources â&#x20AC;ŚÂ is reckless â&#x20AC;ŚÂ putting all civilization in jeopardy. If â&#x20AC;Ś as most scientists believe â&#x20AC;Ś man-made global warming is eminently threatening global civilization â&#x20AC;ŚÂ most scientists are for sustainable civilization. Assaulting a sustainable global civilization â&#x20AC;ŚÂ aristocracy, plutocracy, oligarchy assaults democracy and its foundation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;social equality.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tricklingâ&#x20AC;? down well-funded support for keeping their â&#x20AC;&#x153;servants (10 per cent)â&#x20AC;? well above the bottom 50 per cent strengthens vertical anti-democratic dominant/submissive anti-social relationships.

WolfPack howls at hoops camp Greg Sabatino photo

Thompson Rivers University WolfPack player Kevin Pribilsky gives Williams Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicholas Hill, 10, a couple of pointers during a TRU Basketball Summer Sport Camp at the Williams Lake TRU campus Tuesday afternoon. The basketball camp is running in two sessions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in the morning for players 8-12 and another in the afternoon for players 13 and up.

Duo to play at rugby nationals Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Two Williams Lake rugby players will help lead Team BC at the upcoming National Rugby Championships in Quebec. Jaime Carrier and Jasmyn Niquidet, both returning for their second years as members of Team BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U18 squad, will be looking to rewrite a loss in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold-medal match to Ontario, and will represent Williams Lake and their province at the tournament, which runs Aug. 6-12 in Sherbrooke, Que. The duo were chosen following a grueling two-day identification camp held in Vancouver last month, and will be looked to as leaders on a team filled with several newcomers. Carrier, who graduated from Columneetza Secondary School this past June, missed the camp due to grad; however, Niquidet, who is headed into her Grade 12 year at CSS, attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough,â&#x20AC;? Niquidet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first day we ran a beep test, and then we were split into forwards and backs and did a bunch of drills. The second day we split up again and did

Carrier was notified following the Provincial Regional Championships in Vancouver that she was invited back as a member of Team BC. The team, coached by Carson Graham secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rick Pimlott, will have just over a handful of returning players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of new girls,â&#x20AC;? Niquidet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be

looked to as leaders, for sure, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a lot of the girls know how stressful it is.â&#x20AC;? Carrier said their experience playing last year will undoubtedly help ease some of that stress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think, maybe, a lot of the younger ones donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about,â&#x20AC;? Carrier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, for me, it was very intense. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely an experience and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really

serious [competition].â&#x20AC;? The duo will leave July 31 from Williams Lake and head to Vancouver where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take part in their second five-day training camp prior to nationals. The first came last week in Vancouver over another five-day span. Both said Alberta and Ontario will most likely offer up their toughest challenges at nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? Niquidet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, losing that gold medal game to Ontario, they were big girls.â&#x20AC;? They added competing on the national stage is a lot of fun, and that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both looking forward to the opportunity to compete at that level again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After nationals last year I felt like I had a different kind of knowledge of rugby, and I felt like I improved so much,â&#x20AC;? Niquidet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to play really high level teams.â&#x20AC;? To help cover some of the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; travel costs the Williams Lake Rustlers donated $400 to each of the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is so nice and so generous,â&#x20AC;? Niquidet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? Carrier added.

A Williams Lake resident, 20-year-old Michael Olson, is a new world record holder. Olson recently travelled to Orlando, FL. for a worldwide martial arts tournament, the Martial Arts U.S. Open, and set the record under the U.S. Martial Arts Breaking Association (USBA) and the World Martial Arts Breaking Association (WBA). Olson set the record for the most two-inch concrete patio slabs broken with a stomp in 60 seconds by breaking 144

slabs — smashing the previous record of 79 slabs. Over the past 12 years Olson has trained in various martial arts disciplines; however, his main discipline is ITF (International Taekwon-do Federation) taekwon-do at Williams Lake’s club run by fourth-degree black belt Steve Bengyik. He has also trained kickboxing at Shogun Martial Arts Academy, akido at the Williams Lake Akido Club, as well as Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.

Pickle ball players hope to grow sport Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If you’ve never heard of pickle ball, you’re likely not alone. Neither had a group of Williams Lake residents who now play almost every day during the week at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club. Gord Mierau, Bernie Pinette and his wife Georgette Pinette discovered the unconventional racquet sport while vacationing in Phoenix during the winter. They’ve since become hooked — recruiting, training and pursuing growing the sport in Williams Lake. “We want to encourage people to come out and play and have some fun,” Mierau said. “People that thought they were done with sport can have a really good time and socialize, as well as get some great exercise.” Pickle ball, which borrows elements of tennis, ping pong, badminton,

squash and racquetball, is played on a 20-foot by 44-foot court with a paddle — mostly resembling a ping pong paddle and a plastic tennis-sized ball with holes. The sport can be played with just two players; however, it is more commonly a doubles game. Its unique name, pickle ball, stems from an unlikely source — the creators’ family dog Pickles. Pickles would chase after errant balls, then hide them in the bushes. Pickle’s ball was a phrase often spoken during backyard matches until eventually it stuck. Mierau and the Pinettes recently resurfaced one of the unused courts at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club to accommodate the growing number of players and hope to continue to expand. “We hope to gain three more courts and hope to have about 50 people coming out and then we’ll go from there,”

Bernie Pinette (right) volleys a ball back to his opponents while Gord Mierau looks on. The duo, along with others, hope to grow the sport of pickle ball in Williams Lake. Mierau said. “Right now we’ve got about a dozen people coming out to play and we have equipment on site for anyone who wants to learn.” The group meets every day during the week at 9 a.m. and invites anyone interested to come try out the sport. Mierau stressed the

fact that anyone, young and old, can play the sport. He added it’s grown immensely in popularity in the U.S. over the past few years. “Through our winter activity in the Phoenix area this was such a growing sport,” he said. “We went from 30 players to 150 play-

ers in a year and those were people that thought they were finished with some kind of physical activity or sport. The tournaments that happen down there encourage the competition, or lack of competition for social play.” Bernie said the local group currently has players almost 80 years old, all the way down to his grandchildren. He added the sport doesn’t cost much to get into, especially since the group recently purchased onsite equipment at the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club. “It’s a real cheap in and not expensive to get into at all,” Bernie said. “There’s no equipment you need other than running shoes. We have all the equipment here.” He added, eventually, the group wants to become an official club once they get enough members. “The golf course is working with us trying to

promote this and get this going,” Bernie said. “We want to thank them.” For more information, or to schedule a match

with the current pickle ball players, contact the Pinettes at 250-3923768 or e-mail them at pinettes@telus.net.

Trinity Sure builds on fitness modeling career as a contender in national contest in Calgary Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Former cowgirl, motocross racer and now fitness model Trinity Sure was among more than 30 models competing in the Tropic Beauty International contest held in conjunction with the Calgary Stampede in Calgary earlier this month. Trinity says she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t among the top nine contestants chosen to go on to compete at the world competitions in Las Vegas later this year, but attending the event was a great learning experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really huge event and we were treated like VIPs.â&#x20AC;? The two-day event took place in a large outdoor tent at the Cowboys Casino in Calgary. In addition to the 30-plus contestants selected to compete, Trinity says fitness supermodels joined in to help host the event. Trinity is the daughter of longtime rodeo competitor Norma Sure and Wallace Rich and came into fitness modeling by way of her passion for sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up on a ranch about 35 minutes out of town and have been riding since I could walk,â&#x20AC;? says Trinity. Until the age of 14 she competed in barrels and break-away roping on the BCRA and WIRA circuits with her family. Then when she was 17 she developed a passion for motocross racing. Her dad, who is a welder and mechanic, helped her to get into the sport. Mom Norma says she gave up team roping with her sister Irene to take Trinity around the motocross racing circuit. Trinity races a Yz250F Yamaha four-stroke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very scary when I started but there are more women racers now,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. She was a member of the WL Dirt Riders Association and the Canadian Motocross Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association for the first two years. At 18 she started racing professionally. Unfortunately in her first professional year Trinity bottomed out on a jump and tore all the ligaments in her right leg. After reconstruction surgery she was in a wheelchair for a week and on crutches for another five weeks before she could start training again. The whole experience was very painful and the strength in her right leg still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully returned to what it was.

This photo of Trinity Sure taken by photographer Gus McTavish at a shoot in the Bahamas this spring won Trinity a spot at the Tropic Beauty International fitness modeling contest held in Calgary during the Calgary Stampede earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very active,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. Rather than go back to motocross racing Trinity decided to concentrate on school and training to become a fitness model. She did her public schooling at Mountview Elementary and graduated from Columneetza Secondary. This year she has been training as a fitness model, holding down two jobs and taking upgrading prerequisites to start the Applied Business Technology program at TRU in the fall. She works part time at Walmart and at Fit City where she also trains. She has worked in the modeling industry off and on since she was 12. Living in the Cariboo Trinity says keeping a career going in modeling is difficult but the internet has made it easier for people anywhere to get into fitness modeling.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to be able to do it right from here,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. At 18 she had a portfolio of photographs made up by photographer Tom Hopkins in Vancouver to send around to clients. In May of this year Trinity was invited to the Bahamas along with 13 other models to a shoot for Tropic Beauty International with photographer Gus McTavish. Her photograph from that event won her a spot at the contest in Calgary with about 30 other contestants selected to compete based on their photographs. She says the wardrobe for the contest in Calgary included cowboy boots, a dark blue bikini, white shorts, jean shorts, a western shirt, and the required six-inch, clear stilettos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked my way up in heels so that I can feel comfortable in six-to-eight-inch heels,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. She says the top nine contes-

tants in Calgary were chosen to compete in the world finals in Las Vegas in January where the contest will be expanded to include dresses, speeches and interviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personality is just as important as how good you look. You have to be friendly and able to talk to people,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always just try to be myself friendly and make everyone feel comfortable in my presence.â&#x20AC;? She says the whole experience in Calgary was new to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was quite shy,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was totally different from what I am used to.â&#x20AC;? While she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place for the world competition, Trinity says she did meet a lot of people in the modelling industry and the exposure was good for furthering her fitness modeling career. At five feet, six inches tall Trinity says she is not tall enough to be a regular clothing model but the criteria is different for fitness modelling with an emphasis on a healthy, fit look. She says she tries to maintain a healthy, balanced diet rich in salads, fish and chicken but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t starve herself or deprive herself of treats and enjoys a steak once in a while. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really try to stay away from fats and sugars (and salt),â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I am definitely a cake and cookie girl off season.â&#x20AC;? She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count calories because she finds it an added stress she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. She just tries to eat well and keep a balance between food and exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never recommend people to starve to look a certain way. I like to eat and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink or do drugs. I need to be a role model as well.â&#x20AC;? Her fitness regime includes weights and running as well as cardio workouts. She works out regularly several times a week but for the four weeks before a big shoot or show she will train six days a week breaking up the training into small parcels during the day. For a change of scene she also trains at the Williams Lake Boxing Club twice a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice change from the gym and a really good workout,â&#x20AC;? Trinity says. Her fiance Stuart McLellan is a professional boxer so she also spars with him sometimes. They also enjoy taking their dog for walks and runs outdoors together.

Museum a great learning experience for summer student Krysta Thomson is joining manager Pat Skloblanuik in welcoming guests to the Museum of the Chilcotin this summer. Thomson is a Thompson Rivers University student whose hobby is history. In addition to welcoming and assisting visitors, guiding school tours and other tasks, Thomson is working on updating the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranching information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;History is my hobby, and what better place to expand my passion than as the summer student for the museum,â&#x20AC;? Thomson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout my recent travelling I have discovered some of the many histories of countries such as Scotland, Greece, and Finland but these have only brought to my attention how little I know about my own hometown, Williams Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working for the museum is giving me the opportunity to learn about where I live and where I come from so that I can share my new found knowledge with others both from the city and internationally.â&#x20AC;? Her favourite exhibit at the museum is the saddle and tack room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love the smell of it,â&#x20AC;? says Thomson who has done some English and western riding in her life. Part of her job this summer will be to clean the saddles and chaps to preserve the leather but she is also in the process of researching, reviewing, updating and redrafting the big ranch browsers at the entrance to the museum to make them easier for visitors to follow. The task seems daunting since the research involves reading files provided by families, books on ranching that are available at the museum as well as newspaper articles. Thomson was born in the Yukon and was raised in Williams Lake from the age of three and always took history courses for her electives at university but is adding even more to her education working at the museum this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a quarter of what I know now about Williams Lake

Summer student Krysta Thomsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite room in the museum is the saddle and tack room, which houses some of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and historically significant saddles from ranchers and cowboys who developed ranches around the region. Krysta is also updating the large ranch history browsers at the museum adding more facts and making them easier to read.

history,â&#x20AC;? Thomson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really fascinating.â&#x20AC;? Part of her job is also to share information about the museum and area history with visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to the

many interesting conversations I am bound to have with guests and board members who drop by the museum throughout the summer,â&#x20AC;? Thomson says. Thomson has a degree in political science

from the University of Northern British Columbia. After earning her degree she took a job with a pharmacy in Calgary which inspired her to take upgrading at TRU in Williams Lake with the goal of attend-

ing a pharmacy program in the UK in January. She lived in Scotland for two years previously

and has applied to Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, plus four others in northern England in case she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accepted by her first choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pharmacy is incredibly intriguing to me,â&#x20AC;? Thomson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You use your brain a lot which is nice. You are continually learning about new products and their effects on the body and helping people, which feels good when you get good results.â&#x20AC;? In other museum news society president Sheila Wyse reports that over the past few months the Friends of the Museum members have volunteered many hours helping to keep the displays in tiptop shape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped us with cleaning, baking, serving at teas, etc.,â&#x20AC;? Wyse says in her

museum update. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your generous donation of your time and energy is a great support to the museum. If you have a few hours a year to offer please join our Friends of the Museum group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many jobs that need to be done and most only take an hour or two during the year. Stop in to the museum and ask the staff for a form to join the Friends of the Museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153; She says people can also support the museum by buying a $5 annual membership and purchasing raffle tickets the museum is currently selling on two nights at the 108 Hills Health Ranch plus a dining voucher worth $125. The museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Singer/songwriter Debbie Altherr releases first CD, performance Saturday at Boitanio Park Farmer’s Market Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Ranchers with a passion for music Debbie Altherr and her husband Dave will be performing at the Farmer’s Market in Boitanio Park Saturday. They will give two half-hour concerts, one at 10 a.m. and the other at noon and play music from Debbie’s new CD throughout the day. Debbie has been busy over the past couple of years writing and recording songs and recently released her first CD called Allison Altherr Casitaville. She chose to use her middle name on the CD because she was meeting so many Debbies in her musical travels that it became confusing. Casita means little home or cottage in Spanish. “Casitaville is my

Central Cariboo Art Route being developed Artists in the region have a new and exciting opportunity to become part of developing a new Central Cariboo Art Route, says Leah Selk, Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society co-ordinator. The project is sponsored by the arts and culture society with the support of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association and the Cariboo Regional District, Selk says. It is supported financially by the Community Tourism Opportunities (CTO) program under the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. Participation is open to artists living in the Central Cariboo areas of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District Areas D, E, and F and who are willing to open up part of their home or a building on their property to display their art and practice. “The Central Cariboo Art Route is an opportunity to develop the arts sector and showcase the region’s

artists and artisans,” Selk says. “Through a yearround, self-guided tour, locals and visitors alike will have the chance to connect with artists at work and gain a deeper sense of their practice.” She says the program is designed to provide increased market exposure and revenue generated for local artists through direct sales and/or post-visit shipping orders, along with increased visits and sales to local galleries and cafes, has the potential to transform our resource dependent economy to a diversified economy, rich in artistic talent. Non-profit and business participation, also located within the Central Cariboo, is available to galleries, museums, artist collectives, or commercial spaces primarily focused on displaying local art for artists/artisans. Participation fees allow for the inclusion of a photo or image and a write-up in the

2013 Central Cariboo Art Route brochure, which will be available online and at participants’ studios, galleries, and cafes. She noted inclusion is limited to 25 participants for 2013. She adds the art route program strives for a balanced representation of mediums and locations through the Central Cariboo region and as such organizers can’t guarantee that all applications will be accepted. The application deadline is Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. Application forms and information on the fee structure is available at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre (90 Fourth Ave. North, Williams Lake), on the CCACS website at www.centralcaribooarts.com, or via e-mail from artroute@centralcaribooarts.com. For more information contact Maureen LeBourdais, Fraser Basin Council and Central Cariboo Art Route co-ordinator, at artroute@centralcaribooarts.com.

songwriting. “Life in Casitaville afforded me the time to reflect and weave the varied chapters of my life into the lines of songs. This album, is a collection of some of those songs along with a few old favourites.” The songs are a little bit country and a little bit blues, but all in a lovely clear vocal range. Debbie says she worked hard to make sure every sound came across in the recordings as she needed them to be. Debbie and Dave had

a ranch in the Chilcotin for many years and are now sharing their time between winters in Arizona and a smaller ranch at McLeese Lake. Debbie trains herding dogs for ranchers using her own sheep and also uses fibre from sheep, goats, dogs and even horses to incorporate into her fibre art, which includes creating unique felt hangings and felt boots. Many of her fibre art pieces portray the flora and fauna of regions where she has resided over the years from the Arctic to southern Arizona.

MORTGAGE NEWS Get Pre-Approved Before Making An Offer! A Pre-Approval helps home buyers streamline their search by providing a realistic price range to work within AND gives them a leg up on the competition as sellers are more likely to accept offers from a buyer who has already secured financing. In order to secure a Pre-Approved mortgage you’ll first need to supply your mortgage broker with a few pieces of information in order to be Pre-Qualified: • a breakdown of employment history • income information • a list of assets and liabilities • an approximate down payment amount. With this information your broker will be able to provide a rough estimate of the mortgage amount for which you qualify.

7:00 pm, August 2, 2012 at CRD Oﬃce in Williams Lake The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has received an applicaƟon to amend Williams Lake Fringe and 150 Mile House Area Zoning Bylaw No. 3502, 1999 by rezoning the property described below: Bylaw No. 4748 District Lot 5772, Cariboo District, from Rural 1 (RR 1) zone to Special ExcepƟon P 1-2 zone (minimum lot size – 0.4 ha (0.98 ac))(maximum density – 10 lots but need ALR and Crown permission to subdivide) Purpose for Rezoning: to legalize the exisƟng sport/ recreaƟonal uses including the clubhouse/accessory dwelling building. The subject property is located at 711 OƩoman Drive, as shown on the sketch plan below, and is owned by MFLNRO (Crown) – Leased by Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby FootbalL Club.

The Pre-Qualification is just the first step in your mortgage Pre-Approval. In order to become ofﬁcially Pre-Approved you’ll need to: • complete a mortgage application with your broker • supply your broker with the necessary documentation to perform a credit check At this point your broker will be able to provide you with a specific mortgage amount for which you are Pre-Approved. With a mortgage Pre-Approval you receive a conditional commitment in writing from the lender that states the exact mortgage amount, term, interest rate, and expiration date.

It’s important to note that a mortgage Pre-Qualification and an income verified mortgage Pre-Approval are not the same thing. Make sure you are Pre-approved and not just Pre-Qualified!

“They call the Cariboo home” Horsefly family shares their love for the Cariboo with visitors Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Sylvia and Fred Gasser visited Canada for three weeks in 1991 and enjoyed travelling all over B.C. They came from the beautiful medieval city of Berne, capital of Switzerland, but fell in love with the wide, open spaces and closeness to nature they found in B.C. “We could not forget this dream journey,” Sylvia says. In Berne, she and Fred, a hair stylist, operated two hairdressing salons, one in the city centre and one at the university hospital. When she was younger Sylvia worked for the Swiss government’s department of forestry and nature, preparing reports for court cases, issuing hunting licences, and doing other tasks but when she married Fred she joined him in the business. They raised their son Martin in Switzerland, but after he finished a year of college and his mandatory military service in Switzerland, Martin came to Williams Lake as an exchange student with the brick-laying trade. Martin decided to immigrate to Canada and, since Fred and Sylvia didn’t have family left in Switzerland, they decided to join him. In 1993 they made another trip all over B.C. checking out potential property to buy in the Okanagan, Kootenays, the Cariboo and other regions. “We liked the Cariboo best because it looked similar to Switzerland,” Sylvia says. With the help of Horsefly Realty, they bought

Below she sets the breakfast table with the little cottage visible in the background. acreage at Horsefly where Martin settled with his family. In 1998 Fred and Sylvia sold their home and businesses in Switzerland and became landed Canadian immigrants, settling in a small cottage on the Horsefly property near Martin and his family. They fixed up and added onto the small cottage to make it into a bed and breakfast. As might be expected it has the look and feel of a Swiss chalet with lots of wood finishing, beautifully crafted, wooden dining sets and seating benches, and artistic touches such as the collection of small dolls climbing the stairwell, and decorated sun hats on one wall. Some of the wood furniture was handmade in Switzerland, including a traditionally painted cupboard that stands in the kitchen.

“We made a bed and breakfast because we loved to share this wonderful piece of Earth with people who like nature,” Sylvia says. They added on three large guest suites. Two of them are actually a bedroom with a second sitting room/sleeping room with full baths in each. The upstairs bedroom has a half bathroom in the hall and is usually rented as an auxiliary to families renting the

downstairs rooms, Sylvia says. She says most of their customers are from the Vancouver area and Vancouver Island but they have had guests from as far away as Hong Kong and Europe. Often, she says, people bring their own horses and go riding around on the many trails around the area. She says one family from Sooke would visit

three or four times a year. “They eventually bought in Horsefly,” Sylvia says. In 2003, Sylvia says she and Fred became Canadian citizens. “We were very, very proud to become Canadian citizens,” Sylvia says. “We have such a lot of nice, nice friends here. We love Horsefly.” Unfortunately Fred died in January after a short battle with skin cancer that metastasized to his lungs. “He was never a smoker,” says Sylvia, who is still recovering from the shock of losing Fred. “The doctors did everything they could and the nurses were so nice.” She says she was able to stay with Fred to the end thanks to a hospice hotel near the hospital in Vancouver. She would visit him in hospital and sometimes he would come to the hotel, where nurses would also check on him. “The doctors and nurses did such a good job. I had such a lot of help in Vancouver.” As part of her healing Sylvia is now continuing on with the bed and breakfast she and Fred started, with a little extra help from her son Martin and his family. Having the company of her four grandchildren and many friends in Horsefly also helps in dealing with her loss. For a number of years Martin worked for road services in Horsefly but in 2003 he decided to make a bigger investment in the community, purchasing Clarke’s General Store. Gassers Bed and Breakfast is about six kilometres across the Horsefly Bridge from the store off the Black

Creek Road. The breakfast nook looks over Sucker Lake and fields where a few pet sheep roam to keep the grass mowed and a few pigs are being raised. Hanging outside the window are beautiful baskets of flowers and a humming bird feeder that is constantly abuzz with the small birds. There is an old trapper’s cottage that has been turned into a small dining and reclining room and a barbecue outside where visitors can cook their own dinners if they wish. From the other side of the house there is a pasture where a couple of dozen cows feed and lounge on range they rent out to neighbours and across the field is Martin’s house. But all around there are tall trees with miles of trails to walk or ride. Sylvia says she doesn’t have horses but she refers visitors to other people who are licenced to rent horses for trail riding adventures if they want to ride and don’t bring their own horses. The breakfast, which she considers modest, includes a buffet with homemade buns, jams, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh eggs from her son’s farm next door, hash browns, ham, cheese, juice and coffee or tea. “Sometimes people come just for breakfast. Then I make braided bread,” Sylvia says. She says most weekends in August are booked for weddings, but there are lots of mid-week dates available and she looks forward to meeting more local visitors from around the Cariboo region.
