Suspect injured during arrest Williams Lake RCMP have asked the West Vancouver Police Department to investigate the circumstances surrounding an arrest that resulted in injuries to a suspect. On July 21, a vehicle pursuit was initiated in the Quesnel RCMP detachment area which carried on into the Williams Lake area. The 35-year-old suspect was eventually located and arrested. He sustained injuries during the arrest and is currently still in hospital, according to an RCMP news release issued Friday. The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP has also been notified. The West Vancouver Police Department has agreed to conduct the investigation into this incident.
Lakecity DFO future uncertain Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer It’s not yet known what will become of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans office in Williams Lake. According to media reports, the Williams Lake office is one of several in the B.C. and the Yukon to close. Others include Mission, Nelson, Campbell River, Prince George, Smithers, and Port Hardy, leaving Whitehorse, Prince Rupert, Kamloops, Vancouver, and Nanaimo. However, Tom Robbins, senior communications advisor for Fisheries and Oceans Canada, says offices
aren’t necessarily closing. He says employees at Fisheries and Oceans Canada have been informed by managers that they may be affected by changes to the Habitat Management program in the department. “However, this does not necessarily mean that they will lose their job; they may be asked to relocate or be redeployed within the department or government,” Robbins says, adding that DFO is changing how it delivers its Habitat Management program across the country to increase efficiency and focus on priorities. He says DFO will work with
stakeholders and partners to develop regulations, policies and other tools needed to make the changes. “As departmental planning to redesign the habitat program is ongoing, no final decisions about office closures have been made at this time,” he says, adding that if any positions in the habitat program are lost at the Williams Lake office, staff will be moved to other programs or offices. Cariboo Prince George MP Dick Harris says he can’t comment on specifics, but says there are cutbacks across the country. “As we go through a rationaliza-
tion of many departments, we do have budget cutbacks, of course, so across the country there will be some office closures, and I know that these moves are taken after a lot of consideration on how the responsibilities are going to carry on,” Harris says, adding that cutbacks are being made in government departments across the country. “They are not just arbitrarily made. A lot of discussion goes in and trying to rationalize how they can do it without affecting services.” — With files from the Nelson Star.

MLAs weigh in on premier’s energy stance Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While in Halifax Friday Premier Christy Clark announced that B.C. would not sign onto the National Energy Strategy unless principles outlined by the B.C. government are met. In a statement issued by her office, the premier said: “I am committed to working co-operatively with my fellow premiers on issues of national importance, and I am hopeful that as work continues on process to support a national energy strategy, there will be consideration of British Columbia’s five principles with respect to heavy oil pipelines. British Columbia is the gateway to Asia, and we will be happy to re-join the discussions when we are satisfied our requirements will be addressed.” The five principles she’s referring to were issued by the minister of environment earlier in the week. They include: • Successful completion of the formal environmental review processes. • World-leading marine-oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems for B.C. • World-leading prac-
tices for land-spill prevention, response and recovery systems for B.C. • Legal requirements regarding aboriginal and treaty rights must be addressed and First Nations be provided with the opportunities to benefit from these projects. • B.C. receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits of proposed heavy oil projects that reflect the risk borne by the province. Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett told the Tribune Friday she applauds Clark’s latest stance on Enbridge and the National Energy Strategy. “We have to take very good care of our environment — that’s our first consideration — and a lot of questions have to be answered. I think the five points the minister of environment put on the table, along with the minister of aboriginal affairs, are very valid,” Barnett says, adding she doesn’t believe Clark’s moves are all about politics. “When I read them and the concerns there, it’s not about politics. It’s about environment, social aspects, and the economy comes last.” If a company, like Enbridge, can fulfill those environmental pieces
from then on government can start negotiating other issues, Barnett notes. “You can’t have a National Energy Strategy that leaves out sensitive parts of the country. We’ve got a coastal shoreline here that nobody I believe in Canada has and we have a province that is unique in its geographic nature and values.” Barnett hasn’t seen the proposed National Energy Strategy, but commends the premier for holding her stance until the needs and objectives of British Columbia are met. “From time to time you get surprised at things, but I’m not surprised because of the issue of Enbridge. I believe that if Enbridge wasn’t on the table, the sensitivity for many things would have not been there, but not seeing what’s in the energy strategy I can’t respond, but I commend the premier for taking a stand to ensure that all the environmental issues are taken care of,” Barnett says. Meanwhile Independent MLA Bob Simpson says Clark is focusing her attention on a “hypothetical” revenue stream and created a fight and dispute with Alberta. “The reality is the
Enbridge pipeline has no social licence in British Columbia. We’ve had numerous local governments say unanimously they don’t want the pipeline. All the First Nations along that pipeline that have made public declarations are in opposition and most of the presenters at the hearings for the national energy board have been in significant opposition.” In contrast, the premier is “creating a spat with Alberta about getting a fair share of the revenue” of a pipeline that in all likelihood should not be approved because of how B.C. has presented itself, he adds. Instead, Simpson suggests the premier should be focussing her attention on B.C.’s Peace region where the biggest beneficiary of oil and gas development is Alberta. “Alberta workers pay income tax in Alberta. The contractors buy their equipment in Alberta. Three of every four vehicles are licenced and insured in Alberta. If the premier was serious about making sure we’re getting a fair share of our natural resource revenues then she should be dealing with that issue in the Peace and instituting policy to make sure that

MLA Barnett confident about forestry’s future Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer As she looks toward the final meetings for the Special Committee on Timber Supply, Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett anticipates there will be some changes going forward from the committee’s recommendations. “In the next year I think you’ll see some changes, just from listening and talking with industry and the public,” Barnett said at the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon July 26. “I think many people are afraid of what’s going to happen in the forest industry. For many, many years we have known there is going to be, in the mid-term timber supply — when the Annual Allowable Cut comes down, this will be nothing new to any of us that have been paying attention — there will be some major changes.” Barnett said she is confident in the future of Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. “I think you’re in a better position because you have more than pine forests. You have more diversification.” One of the big questions has been about appertency — the notion that forests within an area should go to a local mill, she explained. “The Opposition still talks about appertency, but I think that anyone that understands busi-
ness and industry knows that if you have an appertency in Williams Lake and 100 Mile you wouldn’t have a mill today.” As time goes and forests get cut down and second growth is not ready to cut, industry has to go afield, she added. “You look at the mills in this town, for example West Fraser that has mills in Williams Lake, 100 Mile, Quesnel and other places. Every mill has its own threshold. If you cut trees in Lone Butte, you might have those trees to 100 Mile, a quarter to Williams Lake and the rest to Quesnel, but that’s what keeps the industry going, is the trading and movement of the species because every mill does not produce the same product at the end of the day. We have to understand that.” Barnett noted the committee also heard that many people are being told that forestry is not alive. “That frustrates many of us because we all know that the city of Williams Lake was built on forestry. We know the Cariboo Chilcotin was built on forestry. With the proper tools and support, and as long as we can keep that forest healthy and continue to support the new second growth, there’s a bright future in forestry in the Cariboo Chilcotin.”

Construction crews finish up a day’s work Friday evening on Highway 97 by Likely Road.
Highway work to finish in September Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer
Construction on Highway 97 from 148 Mile House to Likely Road should be completed by the end of September, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure project manager Sue Stankievich says. “They are still on schedule, as per their
resubmitted schedule. There haven’t been any delays,” she says. The work is still within the total project budget of $18.8 million, she adds. Speaking from Kamloops on Friday, Stankievich says crews are now working on the Valley Creek culvert, which is a fairly big excavation. “The culvert is a
multi-plate corrugated steel pipe arch 3.9 metres wide by 2.69 metres high, and 51.535 metres long.” The culvert should be completed early September. “They’ve got it wellmarked for traffic, the multi-plates going in there. The median islands are in, which really dilineates the traffic. You can really see
where the intersections are. That’s been a big help,” Stankievich says. This week paving will commence for the top lift from the south end of the project to the Borland Creek Bridge, while paving from the bridge to north of Likely Road is scheduled for September. Contractor Cougar Rock Conracting has 12 to 15 people working
on site from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m daily. There is a detour in place around the Valley Creek Culvert work. Stankievich says ministry staff appreciates the patience of the public and local business community on this project, the last of 18 projects completed under Phase 1 of the Cariboo Connector expansion.

Raw-log exports not a Cariboo problem: MLA Continued From Page A3 By the July 20 deadline, the committee received more than 700 submissions from around the province, submissions Barnett described as very passionate. “The message has come across loud and clear. Do not touch land-use plans. If you have to, because of the health of the forests, with consideration from trappers, ranchers, and tourism, people will come to the table.” One of the things she would like restored are regional and sub-regional resource boards, to put the consultation process back in place. Many people are working behind the scenes to try to come up with new ideas and new innovations within their own organizations. “As the time changes, the world changes, and our forest tenure changes. We get tired of hearing it, how we have to do more with less, but we also need to quit wasting those piles you see on the side of the road.” Tolko Industries Soda Creek Mill’s manager Ryan Oliver seized the opportunity to raise the issue of raw log exports. “There is a lot of negative publicity or media around log exports from this area and I want to clarify that there is just about none. We have a tough enough time trying
to harvest these logs in our own area here. If we were to transport these and pay the costs associated with that, there’s nothing in that,” Oliver said. Responding Barnett said most raw log exports are taking place on Vancouver Island off private land, some from Crown land, in the Kispiox area and the north coast. “That was a topic of conversation quite a bit when we were going around the province. The cost of those logs to the mills. They can’t afford to go get those logs and bring them to the existing mills because of distance. It’s a loss. None of us wants to export raw logs, but if

I’m in business, that’s my private property.

It’s nice to see that we’re not enemies, that we’re there to protect the communities and work with them to help look after the most vibrant industry that has made British Columbia what it is today.”

Public transit ridership increases Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer More people are riding the bus in Williams Lake. Compared to 2010/2011, ridership has increased by 9.6 per cent. In 2011/2012 transit in Williams Lake saw a total of 83,340 trips
compared to 75,067 in 2010/2011. “The numbers are very good,” BC Transit corporate spokesperson Meribeth Burton told the Tribune. “You are definitely one of our top 10 performers. I was speaking to the regional transit manager that represents Williams Lake and heard it’s just a system that contin-
ues to grow. We’ve had steady growth, but nothing as substantial as 9.6 per cent until this year.” BC Transit believes the “incredibly fair fare” residents are paying has a lot to do with how attractive taking the bus in Williams Lake is. “Credit goes to the local government for
making that decision to keep it so cost-effective. It’s convenient and it’s efficient,” Burton said. The Number One route — servicing Second Avenue and the hospital — is still the strongest route. Describing the increase as “a tremendous jump,” Burton says BC Transit is thrilled. “The affordability is
a huge factor and the uptake has been really strong this year.” BC Transit has been operating in Williams Lake for 30 years. According to its annual report, released on July 25, BC Transit saw an overall increase in ridership of 0.7 per cent in 2011/2012.

Superintendent replaced Mark Thiessen will replace Diane Wright as the new School District 27 Superintendent of Schools effective Sept. 1. Wright announced earlier this year that she would be retiring in August. The School District 27 board announced the appointment Tuesday. Thiessen first began working for the school district in 1985 as a summer student with the custodial crew in the district’s maintenance department. Ten years later, in 1995, Thiessen returned to the district to begin his teaching career at Horsefly Elementary Junior Secondary School. Four years later he stepped into the world of school administration at Likely Elementary School and later at 100 Mile House Junior Secondary as vice-principal, then principal at Williams Lake Secondary School. He also served as district principal from
2004-2007 where he demonstrated strong district leadership skills, the board release states. In 2009 Thiessen, along with his wife and four children, moved to Rwanda where he served as the program director for a teacher and head teacher training program for the Wellspring Foundation for Education. After taking this twoyear hiatus from the school district, Thiessen
returned to the CaribooChilcotin and is currently a teacher at Cataline Elementary School. “All these experiences, and more importantly, what I’ve learned along the journey, have prepared me well for the challenge that lies ahead,” Thiessen says in the release. “Congratulations are extended to Mark as he steps into his new position on Sept. 1, 2012,” the board states.

Politicians do it their way
I
I
n his last column before retirement, Orlando Sentinel reporter Charlie Reese makes the case that politicians are responsible for making the decisions that affect every one of us every day. If the country is in a mess, they are to blame.   I ’ d never French heard of Connection Mr. Reese but Diana French a friend forwarded the column and it’s worth sharing. Mr. Reese was talking about U.S. politicians but the shoe fits our bunch too. He says “politicians are the only people in the world who create problems, and then campaign against them.� If both Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, he asks, why do we have deficits? If politicians are against inflation and high taxes, why do we have inflation and high taxes? He says if taxes are unfair, it’s because politicians want them to be unfair. “If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. If the Army and Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... .� I don’t have space to note all his comments, but you get the idea. The small group of people we elect to govern us do it their way. *** Auditor General John Doyle has blown the whistle on the provincial government’s shortcomings when it comes to monitoring mining activities, managing our forests, and most recently on the matter of keeping the books. He disagrees with Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s deficit figures (he says it’s $520 million higher) and he lambasted the all-party legislative assembly management committee (LAM-C) for failing to keep a proper account of how millions of public dollars have been spent. The  LAM-C bookkeeping has been called a “fiscal farce.� Mr. Doyle is up for re-appointment soon. Children’s Advocate Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond was reappointed in spite of her criticisms of government practices. Taxpayers should hope Mr. Doyle will be too. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
Public forced return of PST The provincial government is bringing back the provincial sales tax. It had no choice – it was told to do so by voters in the HST referendum. The harmonized tax, and specifically the way it came about, was so reviled that a majority of voters were quite prepared to bring back the PST. This despite the fact the PST is not nearly as efficient and does not come with the tax credits the HST does. Voters weren’t even swayed by a provincial promise to reduce the HST to 10 per cent, which would be two per cent lower than the combined GST and PST. The province had no one to blame but itself, although that hasn’t stopped it from blaming leaders of the Fight HST campaign, the media, rebellious citizens and the NDP. At least the new PST looks like it will be a little simpler for businesses. While the government’s new PST bill does not specify what goods and services will be exempt from PST, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the
exemptions will be similar to those under the old PST. The list of goods and services to be exempted will be published as a regulation, making it easier for the government to adjust the list of exempt items. This naturally has raised suspicion, as the Liberals’ record on the HST has been a long series of broken promises. But the entire HST exercise was beneficial in several respects. It showed that citizens have the power to put limits on governments that exceed their mandates. There was no promise of an HST in the 2009 election. Two months later, it was government policy. B.C. referendum law enabled citizens to overthrow this reversal in policy. The HST debacle caused one premier to leave office and may yet cause the defeat of the government. Future governments should be more cautious in going against public will, and refusing to listen to reasonable concerns. — Black Press

t’s almost the first weekend of August, and that means one of the most anticipated long weekends of the year is upon us — B.C. Day! This is one of the best MLA opportuMusings nities of the year Donna Barnett to get out and enjoy some downtime in British Columbia’s beautiful outdoors. This weekend happens to be the Interlakes Rodeo in Roe Lake, as well as the Nemiah Valley Rodeo in Nemiah, each on Aug. 4 and 5. What is B.C. Day all about you ask? The British Columbia Day Act was first introduced in 1974 as Bill 61 by the Honourable Ernie Hall, the provincial secretary under former premier Dave Barrett. The notes prefacing the bill state: “The purposes of this bill is to recognize the pioneers of British Columbia by declaring the first Monday of August in each year to be a public holiday known as British Columbia Day.� During the bill debates, Hall stated: “We feel that British Columbia, like every other province, could benefit and should have a holiday around Aug. 1. We feel that the holiday should be dedicated to the pioneers who built the colony of British Columbia into the great province it is today.� So the holiday is about remembrance and celebration. It is about remembering the pioneers who built up our great province, and recognizing what an astounding one it is. Like many of you, when I look around, I’m very proud to be a British Columbian — and I’m especially proud to serve as your MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin. From our healthcare and infrastructure, to our protected lands and AAA-credit rating, it’s clear that we have something special here. I don’t know of any other place like it in the whole world. So I encourage you to get out there and relax in one of B.C.’s breath-taking parks, attend local community events or just sit back and relax. This weekend is about celebrating our great province, and celebrating you – the many exceptional people who all contribute to the most beautiful place on earth. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Foods with pesticides safe to eat
We all have a right to the land
Editor:
Editor: An open letter to MLA Kevin Falcon: I am writing this in regards to the Tl’etinqox-tin band’s intention to blockade the access roads and attempt to stop the lawful hunting of moose by non-band members not accompanied by one of their own guides on Crown land in the Chicoltin. Let me begin by saying that my family has hunted the Raven Lake area in excess of 30 years. My father, myself, my cousins and now my son and nieces utilize the incredible resource that is the Chicoltin. The area we hunt belongs to us all, Canadians. The intention of the Tsilhqot’in people to deny access to the areas is an infringement of my rights as a Canadian. The area is Crown land belonging to us all and the moose are a resource that by lawful LEH hunting practices are available to all who choose to practice and embrace the hunting tradition of this province. I was born in this country, in this province, and am proud to be a native of British Columbia. I am proud to be Canadian. The contents of the Tsilhqot’in band’s letter states that hunters will be escorted from Crown land belonging to all of us, and reported to the TGO council. I ask what authority the TGO council has to stop me and other lawful hunters from accessing Crown land, and what authority would they have to detain, stop or escort me anywhere? Would the RCMP not be there to stop them breaking the law and violating my rights as a Canadian and resident of this province? How am I to be confident in my safety or my son’s safety in this area in the fall? I believe this issue is more than just a hunting one. It seems to my interpretation that the Tl’etinqoxtin band intends to limit hunting to Tsilhqot’in-guided hunts only, thereby making a profit on what is a violation of my rights as a Canadian and a violation of the law. My taxes pay for the upkeep of the resource that is the Chilcotin. I and my family are responsible hunters. We celebrate the hunting tradition of this province every year, as a family, as Canadians and residents of this province. What the Tl’etinqox-tin Band intends is wrong. We all have a right to the land and a right to the resources it provides.
Re: The dirt on organic produce, Williams Lake Tribune, July 27, 2012. I agree with a recent column in the Williams Lake Tribune that whether the food you eat is grown conventionally or organically, the most important thing is that you get the daily intake that’s recommended by Health Canada. However, the column did contain some misinformation that I would like to correct. Canada has one of the most modern and stringent pesticide
regulatory systems in the world. This means that whether the food you eat is grown conventionally or organically, it is among the safest food available anywhere. Both organic and conventionally grown foods use an array of pesticides that have all been approved by Health Canada to control threats to their crops. No matter how your food is grown, what you should be more concerned about is how your food was handled before you bought it — bacterial contamination is an actual and significant health threat. When it comes to pesticide res-
idues on food, recent data from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency shows that about 88 per cent of all fresh food items and 90 per cent of processed food items contain no traces of pesticides at all. And in instances where trace amounts of pesticides are found on food, they are at such low levels it is impossible to imagine a way to eat enough of it for there to be any harmful impact whatsoever. Consumers can be assured that pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product in Canada.
Health Canada, which is one of the most respected regulatory agencies in the world, undertakes a thorough scientific review and risk assessment of every pesticide before registering it for use to ensure it does not pose a health risk to farmers using the products or to families at the dinner table.

Small town memories Sean Glanville Black Press My brother Ryan will be tying the knot in our hometown of Williams Lake this August. In this case he actually did marry “the girl next-door.� Living across the street for years, Ryan and his wife-to-be Chantel never said a single word to each other. It wasn’t until years later in Vancouver they met at a party through a mutual friend. The thing I look forward to most about weddings, is how they bring people together. I was fortunate to grow up in a time where cell phones were not rampant in high school, and words like facebook, YouTube, and twitter didn’t exist. My friends and I had a healthy addiction to soccer.
My dad, a PE teacher with summers off and twin boys on the team, had the means to provide us with all the practice time we could want year round. We had a group of players that stuck together from the age of 11 right through graduation. Instead of playing regional rivals like Quesnel or 100 Mile House we were a town of 10,000 that would play the likes of the Alberta and Saskatchewan provincial teams and win. We lost in overtime to the Puget Sound All Stars in the highly coveted Diadora Cup tournament in Seattle, and had an invitation to play team BC declined because imagine the humiliation if they were to lose to a little interior town. It was the commitment to training and willingness to travel and play the best that made the difference.
That said, we all became the closest of friends, and seven of us went on to play soccer at the CIS university level. In the 10 plus years since our graduation, the town hasn’t produced another. It may sound odd, but on a nice day I sometimes walk around the field at the now defunct Anne Stevenson Secondary and reminisce. This was the place where we practiced and cut our teeth as soccer players. I look at the hill where we did hill-climbs to end practice; I remember always shooting on the net with the portable behind it so the ball would rebound back to us; I remember having Canadian Soccer heroes Bruce Wilson, Ian Bridge, and Dale Mitchell run clinics in Williams Lake of all places. I remember dad tossing out
hundreds of soccer balls for Ryan and I to shoot and watching him chase them down for us and do it again. I’d say ‘throw me a right footed one-timer along the grass,’ and he’d toss me a full volley to my left foot that I’d scuff into the clouds. “Right foot� I’d yell at him, and he’d say something like “In a game do you get to ask what foot you want?� Today, only myself and one other player from that team still call Williams Lake home. As with all small towns, people leave and few return. Many of us now have wives, children, careers and are scattered throughout Canada. The times that we do come together for an event are so few and far between that we have learned to cherish them.

Locals finish solid at Games Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For multiple athletes from Williams Lake the B.C. Summer Games were an opportunity to test their skills against the top competitors from around the province. The Games, which began July 19 and wrapped up July 22 in Surrey, featured 22 athletes from the Williams Lake area competing in various events. Tr i a t h l e t e Kyleigh Williamson of Williams Lake said the Games were an amazing experience. She finished 11th overall in a time of 45 minutes and 22 seconds. “The Summer Games were an awesome experience,” she said. “On the second day we had two races — the first an aquathon and the second a duathlon. It poured rain! The third day was the big triathlon and it was sunny. “I had an amazing swim which put me in great position for my
bike and run.” Kyleigh said her next goal is the Apple Triathlon in Kelowna in August where she hopes to place in the top 10. “I’m very much looking forward to the 2014 BC Summer
Games where I definitely want to compete again,” she said. In box lacrosse Williams Lake’s Benn Taylor, Riley Lawryk, Garret Taylor and Tristan Sailor combined to make up part of the Cariboo-North East Zone (Zone 8), placing fifth overall after an 11-4 win over the Kootenay zone in the consolation final. Field lacrosse players Jesse WallaceWebb, Colton Springer, Leonard Frittenburg, Jared Yuill and Daryl
Springer finished sixth after a 16-3 loss to the Thompson-Okanagan Zone in their last game. Biathletes Tanya Vigeant and Emma Davidson placed 11th with a score of 55 points.
Meanwhile, CaribooNorth East Zone boys soccer players Ethan Alexander and Tanner Dyck joined a team full of Prince George residents to make up the Zone 8 squad, taking sixth place following a 3-0 loss to Vancouver Island-Central Coast. Ethan, 11, described the Games as “really fun and enjoyable.” “My dad told me about the BC Summer Games and got me involved,” he said, noting he thinks they could have placed higher if
they “passed the ball more and worked together even further.” Girls soccer players Bronwyn Pocock, Kassidy Herrick and Samantha Taylor took seventh after beating the North West zone 3-0 in their final game. In golf Williams Lake’s Derrick Walters, Brett LaBossiere and Ryan LaBossiere teed off placing seventh in the team competition as part of the Cariboo-North East Zone. Walters and the LaBossieres joined players from Quesnel, Fort St. John and Tumbler Ridge to form the team. In the individual portion of the golf event Derrick finished 14th overall, firing a tworound score of 156. Right behind him in 15th place was Ryan, shooting a 157. Brett placed 25th with a 168. The Cariboo-North East Zone was also well represented by local swimmers Madison Blusson, Danika Robson, Kara Zavitz and David Russell. The BC Games cauldron will be lit again in
2014 in Mission for the BC Winter Games and in Nanaimo for the BC Summer Games. For complete results and zone medal counts visit www.bcgames. org.

HMI camp goers get surprise visit Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Participants in last week’s Hockey Ministries International camp were in for a special treat as Montreal Canadiens netminder Carey Price helped instruct Thursday during the week-long camp. “We tried to keep it on the down-low so today would be just about the kids and a crazy, fun day,” said HMI B.C. representative Don Richmond. “It was pretty special.” Camp registrants arrived to the Total Ice Training Centre in Williams Lake to find Price staring at them through the glass on the ice. Williams Lake camp director Corwin Smid said it was amazing to watch as the kids realized what was going on. “It was exciting to see the kids’ faces when they showed up to the rink and suddenly they saw Carey,” Smid said. “They all came running around the rink and looking through the glass yelling ‘Carey’s here!’” Price gave one-onone instruction, held drills and had fun with the camp participants throughout the day. His dad Jerry was also on
hand throughout the week giving personal instruction to the goaltenders at the camp. “Each of the kids got to interact with them one-on-one,” Smid said. “It’s pretty special when you have a local guy here who made it big and it’s phenomenal to have both Prices here, the son and the guy who trained Carey himself.” The camp was back in Williams Lake this year for its third stint. This time, however, with the construction of Total Ice Training Centre and the ability to host dry-land drills there, they opted to hold it at the new facility. Smid said it was phenomenal, and added credit needs to be given to owner Tyrel Lucas and the staff at Total Ice. “It’s worked out really well because everyone is together here and not spread out,” Smid said. The camp combines a hockey skills component, along with a faith-based component. Camp registrants were also provided instruction from several highly-qualified coaches including former Minnesota North Stars player Alex Pirus, U.S. semi-professional player Stacey Bauman
(from Oklahoma), Merritt’s Sean O’Connor and Winfield’s Chase Anchikoski. Richmond said the camp not only helps players improve on the ice, but also off of it. “It’s a Christian camp we run here,” Richmond said. “There wasn’t one in this area so Williams Lake was perfect geographically for that and it’s worked out well. “As the HMI rep in B.C. we run 39 chapel programs from junior B, Junior A, the Abbotsford Heat, and the Vancouver Canucks. It [faith] can help players in lots of ways. “It gives them a grounding greater than the value they receive from just hockey because that can be pretty shallow sometimes, and it can also be short-lived. It can be based around fame and money, and that’s a pretty movable target. “I see kids in their third year here and they’re changing. It’s absolutely awesome.” Smid added a special thanks is in order to everyone who helped organize and run the camp including committee members from Williams Lake, Armstrong, Merritt and West Kelowna.

Peru captures the hearts of Chilcotin family Pat Teti Special to The Tribune Last fall I visited some old friends who I hadn’t seen for a while. Their permanent home is Tatla Lake but my trip was a bit longer than a drive to the west Chilcotin. As the crow flies, the Sacred Valley of Peru is 8,700 kilometres southeast of Williams Lake. Five hundred years ago it was the heart of the large and wellorganized Inca Empire. Sadly, the Inca were not prepared to defend themselves from Spanish invaders. Not only were there countless atrocities, but tons of gold that formerly gilded the most important Inca temples was melted down into bars and now sits in bank vaults around the world. Today, the Quechua people, the descendants of the Inca living in the Andes, cling to traditions rich in arts and crafts, such as their dazzling, hand-woven textiles made from alpaca wool. However, many of them live in small communities high in the mountains where there is little infrastructure or access to health care and where they subsist largely on potatoes. Malnutrition and waterborne diseases are particularly serious issues for mothers, babies, and the elderly in those communities. Sandra McGirr, Sandy Hart, and their teenagers Niall and Tarn went to Peru in 2008 to volunteer in community health and water projects. They planned to stay for a year, but seeing the great need for sustainable water and health solutions for the Quechua people, they stayed and with Peruvian friends, they formed a non-profit organization called DESEA Peru. Sandra and Sandy have a unique combination of skills and education for the work they do. Sandra is a registered nurse with a master’s degree in nursing and global health. She and a small team of Peruvian nurses and health-care work-

Sandra McGirr, Sandy Hart and their teens Niall and Tarn went to Peru in 2008 expecting to volunteer for a year and are still there working to improve living conditions for indigenous Quechua people. They will be home visiting this summer and will give a slide show about their work at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10 at the Central Interior Community Services Cooperative. ers provide health education and emergency medical aid to people in six remote villages. They have been able to stop child and maternal mortality in communities that had levels much higher than the national average. Sandy is a professional geoscientist with a master’s degree in geography and years of experience as a hydrologist. He and some Peruvian workers have built and installed 250 “biosand� water filters in homes and school kitchens, as designed by the Calgary-based Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST). These low-tech filters purify water and are the best filters available for travellers but they have much higher capacities and are easy to maintain.
Safer drinking water and hygiene education are significantly reducing diarrheal disease in the communities in which DESEA works. You might think that the Hart/ McGirr family is making a lot of sacrifices by living in a developing country and working long hours for little pay. However, after volunteering with them for a month, I can say that they don’t seem to be missing much more than proximity to their families in Canada. In fact, their work is useful and rewarding. Niall and Tarn like their school, and they live in a spectacular mountain setting with many Peruvian friends. The area abounds with fascinating archaeological sites and other destinations that attract millions
of tourists. It’s cheap, too, at about a third the cost of travelling in Western Europe. One of Sandy and Sandra’s favourite anecdotes is that they have more visits from Canadian friends now than when they lived in Tatla Lake. To find out more about their interesting work, visit www.deseaperu.org or search for DESEA-Peru on facebook. Better yet, come to their slide show while they are in the area this summer. It’s at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 10 at the Central Interior Community Services Cooperative, 51 Fourth Ave. South across from Safeway. Admission will be by donation and there will be some beautiful Peruvian weaving and prints for sale.

All Roads Lead to Wells: book launch Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Susan Safyan, associate editor of Arsenal Pulp Press, was volunteering to edit memoirs for the 25th anniversary of Vancouver Folk Festival in 2003 when she realized she could do the same thing for the community of Wells. Safyan lived in Wells for five years in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s during the hippy hay days in that isolated mining town. She knew there was a gunny sack of hilarious, outrageous, magically compelling and often irreverent
Susan Safyan stories of those times, and she started collecting them on her regular returns to the community over the next eight years. She compiled them into a book that hit the bookshelves this summer.
At the ArtsWells arts festival this weekend Safyan will launch All Roads Lead to Wells: Stories of the Hippie Days, published by Caitlin Press. The event will be at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 4 in the Sunset Theatre. The 1970s was a unique time when a whole generation of young people abandoned the dreams and bastions of their parents and western society, and headed for remote corners of the hinterland like Wells, to recreate their own culture. “I loved those amazing end-of-the-road
stories,” says Safyan, who was working for a plastic letter manufacturer in Los Angeles in 1978 when she met a handsome lumberjack from Wells. Within a year she had gone to visit him, then moved in with him in his rustic cabin. Besides telling stories of Wells, she says the book is meant to evoke the times of the hippy drop-out generation. On the broader scale she says All Roads Lead to Wells reflects what was happening in the macrocosm across North America. In her research Sa-
fyan collected stories that occurred before she arrived in Wells, when Brian Humber and Dale Ruckle established Filthy Larry’s Leather Shoppe in the late ‘60s. She describes the resistance the newcomers encountered with the old guard who considered them too weird, and how things kind of mellowed out over time as they discovered the things they had in common. Safyan will be in Williams Lake to sign copies of her book at SaveOn Book Department on Wednesday, Aug. 8 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Conspiracy Case opens at Station House During July Montreal artist Edwin Janzen has been skulking around the Station House Gallery searching for the elusive Columbian Ground Squirrel. He has put together his findings in an installation for the upper gallery called Conspiracy Case: A fantasy of total surveillance. The opening reception is from 5 to 7 p.m. this Wednesday, Aug. 1. Note the gallery opening has been moved from the normal Thursday date to Wednesday to accommodate Performances in the Park which take place on Thursday evenings through the summer. According to his art-
ist’s statement this Montreal artist believes that the Spermophilus Columbianus (the Columbian Ground Squirrel) is predisposed to conspiracy, their communal living being the source of this theory. He has spent this month researching, photographing, video taping and just generally documenting their lives to see if he can break the case and learn the details of their conspiracy. The upper gallery is the head quarters and he has built this exhibition start-
ing with furniture; old filing cabinets, wooden chairs, old TV monitors, bulletin boards, etc. and created an old school detective’s office and has collected and displayed evidence much like Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire or Hill Street Blues. The Conspiracy Case runs in the upper gallery until Sept. 1. The show Community Roots: Inspirations from the Potato House Project continues through August in the main gallery at the Station House.
No purchase necessary. Contest open to residents of Canada excluding Quebec who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. One (1) grand prize is available to be won, consisting of a seven (7) night holiday to Cancun, Mexico including airfare and accommodation for two (2) adults at the Villa Del Palmar Cancun Beach Resort & Spa (approximate retail value of $3,000.00 CDN). Selected entrant must correctly answer, unaided, a mathematical skill-testing question to be declared a winner. Contest closes [Sunday, August 19th, 2012 at 11:59 PM ET].

Local musicians perform at ArtsWells this weekend More than 100 musical performances on nine stages featuring folk, hip-hop, electronic, world, pop, roots, jazz, country, and funk will be featured at the ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art coming up in Wells on the long weekend Aug. 3 to 6. Many popular Williams Lake and area artists will be among those on stage in Wells this weekend. Big Twang Daddy features Anne Smith on keyboards and vocals, Lyle Tribe on drums, and Tom Salley on guitar and vocals. Cameron Catalano of Vancouver and formerly Williams Lake will present a rare showcase of songs he and his guitar have collected over the years. Troy Forcier of Miocene and Brent Morton of Williams Lake will be there, Morton with his Drum and Bell Tower. Collaborations abound. The Little Horsefly Country Band from Arts on the Fly festival in Horsefly earlier this month will also be in Wells. This country/honky-tonk group brings together sisters Pharis Romero and Marin Patenaude, Brent Morton, and Pharis’s husband Jason Romero. Daughters of Blood and Bone represents an-
other collaboration with Pharis and Patenaude teaming up with Melisa Devost and Linda McRae. A three-time platinum album singer/songwriter McRae will also give a concert at the Bear’s Paw Cafe in Wells this Thursday, Aug. 2 introducing her latest album Rough Edges and Ragged Hearts. Singer/songwriter Patenaude also performs solo during the festival. Some of the 100plus national and international musical entertainers include the Bidiniband from Toronto, Benny Walker from Australia, Aurora Jane from Australia, Crowd the Joanna of Kelowna, Party on High Street from Nelson, Selina Martin from Toronto, Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra from Victoria and many more. ArtsWells also features workshops in music, theatre, dance, and visual arts. There will be 20 different workshops to choose from on everything from beat-boxing to Ukrainian dance to lyric writing to laughter yoga and more. Activities for kids include a crafting station, children’s stage and workshops geared to children. The weekend in-
cludes the 12th International One Minute Play Festival, Ukulele Camp Aug. 1-2 and computer music camp Aug. 3. There will also be screenings of independent films as well as local theatre productions. Wells will have a visual ArtWalk, artisans selling their wares and discounts on attractions such as the Barkerville Historic Town. Island Mountain School of Arts runs longer arts workshops during July and August in a variety of disciplines from songwriting band camp to painting classes and more. ArtsWells is a program of Island Mountain Arts, a non-profit arts organization based in Wells with board representation from around the region. Established in 1977 with the Summer School of the Arts, the program now boasts a Public Art Gallery and Gift Shop, an International Harp School, the Toni Onley Artists’ Project and the award winning ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art. The directors include president Yael Wand, vice-president Paul Crawford, treasurer Thomas Schoen, and directors Carl Johnson and Meghan McDermott.
