Due to the July 6 adjustments to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, adjustments are being made to the review panel’s mandate for the New Prosperity mine environmental assessment. A public notice from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency says the federal minister of environment has set timelines for the environmental assessment as follows: • The timeline for the panel to submit its report is 235 days (7.5 months) from coming into force of CEAA 2012, as specified in the previous Terms of Reference. • The timeline for the decision statement will be 120 days (four months) from submission of the review panel’s report. The above timelines do not include the time the proponent, Taseko Mines Ltd., takes to gather information required for the environmental assessment. To view the amendments visit the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, registry number 63928.

Local MLAs and two MLA candidates have weighed in on the auditor general’s report on the state of the B.C. Legislature’s finances. In his review, Auditor General John Doyle said years of neglect resulted in a $1.3-billion discrepancy in the legislature. The Legislative Assembly Management Committee (LAMC) met last Tuesday to discuss the report and agreed to implement all of the recommendations contained in it. “All actions will follow the principles of openness, public accountability and transparency and the committee will implement all recommendations made by the auditor general since 2007,” the committee said in a prepared statement. “The committee has
full confidence that all MLAs have submitted receipts for their expenses as required. Annual expenses are released in the public accounts every July. However, to provide more openness to British Columbians, beginning in October, quarterly MLA expenses will be posted online starting with the expenses for the first two quarters of this current fiscal year.” An internal audit and risk management sub-committee, comprised of the Speaker and the two caucus chairs, has been created to review all audit reports and will report back to LAMC. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson says the committee should have dealt with the issue after the auditor general raised the same concerns n 2007. “They were the ones that didn’t address it over the last five years,” Simpson says. “I am struggling a little bit with the fact that LAMC
seems to be acting as if some third party dropped the ball and now they have to pick it up.” However, Simpson says it is good that the committee will start publishing MLA expense reports and then look at publishing the constituency and other reports. Simpson has already been publishing some of his expense reports, including travel expenses, online. In September, he plans to have his office also publish his constituency office and legislative office accounts. “The idea that we now have to delay in order to get the constituency office accounts all set up again is just not necessary,” he says. “There is no complication. There is no issue about software or anything. It’s a matter of lack of will on the part of the legislative management committee to do it.” He notes the auditor general
has been clear that he is not saying anybody has done anything untoward, though Doyle also noted he can’t rule out that no one is abusing the system, due to there being a lack of information. “It’s just that the bookkeeping, accounting, and reporting is not standardized and not transparent,” Simpson says. Liberal Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says she welcomes anyone to take a look at her books at any time if they have questions. “My staff looks after the constituency account and certainly obey all the rules and regulations,” Barnett says. “My books are open and anything else to be transparent is what should be done. She says 90 per cent of her expenses are related to travel. See BARNETT Page A2

Utility cabinets get wrapped with art The first of 10 vinyl wraps for city utility cabinets has been installed in Williams Lake. Schickworks Signs and Stitches installed the wrap — which features a Laureen Carruthers photo of an old Chevrolet truck — on the larger of the two cabinets at the corner of Second Avenue and Oliver Street. The city says the utility cabinet is one of the more complicated ones to wrap, due to the dimensions and tricky box layout. In the coming weeks the remaining nine wraps will be installed on cabinets around the city, weather permitting. On June 27 a selection committee, consisting of three city council members and three board members from

the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society, went though the tough process of selecting 10 photos out of 120. The photos will be printed on vinyl and wrapped around the remaining nine cityowned utility cabinets within Williams Lake
this month. “It is a priority for the City of Williams Lake to take proactive measures to manage graffiti and beautify our community,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “Programs such as the cabinet wrap initiative for the cityowned infrastructure
is a great start, but we need to work in collaboration with the private sector and other levels of government to implement further successful results in other areas of our community.” The city says it hopes to continue this project as partnerships arise.
Barnett hopes for stringent guidelines Continued From Page A1 She says she is disappointed the recommendations made in 2007 were never implemented, but notes she was not an MLA at the time. “My colleagues, Mr. Simpson and Mr. (Charlie) Wyse were there at the time and it appears now that it’s a political issue,” Barnett says. “If you were there back then things should have changed.” She says she is glad to see the committee has brought forward the report and it’s now public. She says it’s not known yet how much MLA-expense details will be required to be public, but she says in order to be open and transparent more information than what an MLA’s travel expenses are should be provided. “Why did you travel there? If you went to a meeting, what was the meeting? … I think you have to be fully transparent.” Before posting any of her expenses online,

Barnett says she wants to wait and see what the guidelines are. “It has to be uniform,” she says. “I think there will be some real stringent guidelines — I am hoping there will be. Instead of trying to get political points, I am going to wait and see what the guidelines are, and I hope they are very stringent.” Independent candidate for the Cariboo Chilcotin Gary Young has also weighed in on the report’s revelations and says all government accounting needs to be exact, justified, and visible. He says the issue involves not only the B.C. Liberal MLAs, but also the NDP and Conservatives. “It is obvious it seems that the NDP is complicit in the MLA expenditure mess. “Instead of trying to clean it up, making the NDP MLAs more openly responsible, the official Opposition does the same with our tax dollars.” Cariboo-Chilcotin NDP candidate and for-
mer MLA Charlie Wyse says the report from the auditor general is long overdue and agrees with Doyle’s recommendations. “The auditor general has been quite clear that things need to be tightened up in the legislature
as far as expenses go,” Wyse says. “I support what the auditor general is suggesting and whatever the experts say are necessary I support.” He adds the expenditure of public money should be open to public scrutiny.

B.C., Ulkatcho reach land-use agreement The Ulkatcho First Nation now is eligible to apply for funding to promote sustainable economic development after signing a Strategic Land Use Planning Agreement governing the area known as the Great Bear Rainforest. Ulkatcho is the latest of 29 First Nations on the Central and North Coast to sign such an agreement. Ecosystem Based Management (EBM), adopted in 2006, defines guiding principles for the Coastal region; a high level of human well-being and low ecological risk over time. The land use agreement with Ulkatcho First Nation supports EBM by protecting key elements of old-growth forests, such as representative ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems and critical grizzly bear habitat. The agreement also supports the recognition and management of important cultural and heritage resources of the Coastal First Nations. As part of the agreement, the Ulkatcho First Nation is now eligible to apply to the Coast Opportunity Funds for up to $577,000 to support sustainable economic development projects that are consistent with EBM land and resource management objectives. The fund was created to make the vital connection between sustainable development projects that embrace conservation and the social, cultural and economic well-being of the First Nations communities. The area covered by the North and Central Coast Land and Resource Management Plans — also known as

the Great Bear Rainforest — represents about 6.4 million hectares, more than twice the size of Vancouver Island. The total combined protected areas are approximately 2.1 million hectares, more than three times the size of Prince Edward Island. The B.C. government says vast areas of temperate coastal rainforest — home to thousands of species of plants, birds and animals — are protected from natural resource development. Ancient cedar trees and tall Sitka spruce-lined streams will be preserved for generations to come. The region is also home to the elusive Spirit Bear, the B.C.’s official mammal. “The Ulkatcho First Nation places tremendous importance on the Central and North Coast as a key area of our traditional territory, a sacred landscape and a vibrant ecosystem,” says Ulkatcho Chief Zach Parker. “We are encouraged by the province’s efforts to work with First Nations with respect to creating a healthy coastal economy.” Donna Barnett, MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin, says the agreement with the Ulkatcho First Nation is an important step in the economic development of the region in a way that ensures maximum benefit to the people. “At the same time it ensures any development is ecologically sound by protecting the delicate ecosystems and resources of the area. The agreement also provides the Ulkatcho First Nation with a role in managing this culturally significant area,” Barnett said.

Report cougar sightings ASAP: CO Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Office’s Sgt. Len Butler is reminding people if they see a cougar to call the RAPP line right away. “We’ve got a few cats running around right now in different
areas. It’s that time of year that people have to be very cautious. If they see cats they should call them in,” Butler says. Often cougars are following deer, and so far the reports have been of cougars being more curious, than anything else.
“We haven’t had a definite point of a cougar hanging around,” Butler notes, adding people need to keep an eye out and do all the right cat things. “Yell at them, make themselves big, to get them out of the way.” The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Ser-
vice received a report of a cougar sighting on Wednesday afternoon in a wooded area between Dog Creek Rd. and Gun-a-noot Trail. Another report came in on the weekend, although that person had seen the cougar and didn’t call in to report until four days later.
“People have to call right away. For us to be effective with cats if they get too close, we need the most recent information about where a cat’s been seen for us to do any mitigation work.” The RAPP line is 1-877-952-7277 toll free.
First August full moon over the chilcotin Dan Hicks photo
The mid-summer full moon, the Grain Moon, and the first full moon of August, briefly appears through the clouds as it rises over Alexis Creek on Aug. 1. August will see its second full moon on the night of the 30th. The clear, smokeless Chilcotin air and a telescopic lens reveal the moon Galileo discovered in 1609; not a divine celestial light, but a battered, chaotically patterned space rock. When the moon has waned to a laterising crescent moon on the night of Aug. 11, the annual Perseid Meteors will be flaming across our night sky as they encounter our atmosphere. Ever more Perseids will be entering our atmosphere as the dawn of the following day approaches. However, the enjoyment of this natural, night sky light show will require viewers be under dark and clear skies; both stars and shooting stars are much diminished by artificial light.

Mining task force works to fill labour shortages Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Experts are predicting a skilled labour shortage of 160,000 in Canada by 2015, according to a March 8 report by the B.C. Industry Training Authority. It may be hard to believe with Canada’s unemployment rate running around seven per cent (in May) that the country’s mining industry is already suffering a serious shortage of workers that is expected to continue for the next 20 years. Human resources su-
perintendents Paul Allan at Mount Polley and Don Martin at Gibraltar Mines say they already have difficulty finding heavy duty mechanics, electricians, millwrights and other skilled workers. Allan says the main labour shortage is for heavy duty mechanics, welders, electricians and millwrights. Recognizing that attracting skilled workers to the industry can only get more difficult in the coming years the B.C. Mineral Exploration and Mining Industry Labour
Shortage Task Force was formed in 2008 to look at ways of addressing the problem on several fronts. One of the ways the task force is working to recruit workers is through an education sub-committee which is chaired by lakecity teacher Gordon Armour,

Mines provide educational opportunities Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer
2012 ANNUAL
One of the newest education projects initiated by local mines and School District 27 is a pilot project that provides secondary students with work experience at Mount Polley Mine and Gibraltar Mine. Both mines had students job shadowing at the mines earlier this year and a new program will expand the concept to other mines and mine head offices, says Gordon Armour, who chairs the education sub-committee of the B.C. Mineral Exploration and Mining Industry Labour Shortage Task Force. Armour is also the School District 27 coordinator for transition, training and trades. Armour says School District 27 is extremely pleased with the support shown for the program by Gibraltar and Mount Polley in providing students with opportunities to explore potential careers. “As a result of the success seen in the Williams Lake area in working with the mining industry, the task force has developed a program called Career Links that provides other school districts around the province funding support to create working partnerships with mines in their area,” Armour says. As a result of another pilot project of the mining task force, Armour says that he is extremely pleased with the “agreement in principle” that has been obtained to place students completing foundation training through the district’s ACE-IT programs delivered at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake into employment at the two mines in order to accumulate 480 hours of on

He says the district is currently in the process of formalizing the hiring of the first two heavy duty mechanics students with Mount Polley mines. The mining task force is also promoting jobs in the mining industry in numerous other ways. Although provincial funding for the Yes 2 IT program that provides awareness to students in grades 6 to 9 had run out for the 2011/12 school year, Armour says Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines choose to continue to provide equipment, and staff once a year to give Grade 7 students experience in trades. The program is offered in partnership with the mines and support of community businesses that are suppliers to the local mines. Annually 80-plus Grade 7 students spend a day in the trades programs at TRU in Williams Lake, interacting with post secondary students, and trades people from the mines in five different areas making projects and learning more about these careers. “Both local mines, in partnership again with their suppliers also provide machinery and equipment, supplies and personnel to provide Grade 11 and 12 students the opportunity
to experience operating heavy equipment over a three-and-a-half day period (Heavy Metal Rocks),” Armour says. He says the education committee was also instrumental developing Mining Your Future, an informational resource on mining for Planning 10 students that contains lessons and resource material for teachers. Currently approximately 100 copies of the resource binder have been distributed to 10 school districts as part of a pilot project. Teaching materials and videos clips of people working in the mining industry are also being developed for students in grades 5 to 7. Made in BC brochures on mining industry jobs, featuring B.C. workers, training information and industry information have also been produced and circulated.
Last year, Armour says the task force ran a mining blog, inviting secondary and post secondary students to become actively involved. Those school groups participating in the blogs had the opportunity to win prizes. A new initiative is the creation of a series of eight 30-minute films about careers in mining that will run at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings on CTV this September and October, Armour says. The series (filmed between May and August) will showcase 24 jobs related to mining operations and exploration; city and remote sites; suppliers; safety and protection of the environment; jobs for men, women, ethnic and age diversity in mining. Special initiatives are being developed to encourage First Nations students and women to consider careers in mining, Armour says. In addition to the more well known trades of electrician, welder, millwright/heavy equipment mechanic, and mining engineers all sorts of other interesting job postings can be found on mine job sites such as lab technician, community affairs manager, contract miner, development
miner, diamond driller, environmental coordinator, environmental technician, geological modeler, geological technician, geologist, geomatics specialist, health and safety co-ordinator, mechanical and metallurgical engineers, minerals processing operator, prospector, sales/ management, training co-ordinator, training instructor/group leader, underground miner, virtual reality modeler. Armour says the task force is also supporting national efforts in the development of a credentialing system for occupations in the mining industry for which skills are acquired through on-the-job training in the categories of underground miner, surface miner, and mineral processing operations. The goal has been to develop a program that provides consistency of training; competency on a national and provincial level; transferrable skills; and safe operating practices. Pilot programs are happening at the Greenhills Coal Mine, Highland Valley Copper, and Kemess Mine. Results of these programs will be reviewed this year with the goal of expanding the pilot programs to other mines, Armour says.

Local Mountain Bike Events Bring Over $45,000 to the Community in 2012 The Williams Lake Cycling Club hosts two annual events in Williams Lake each summer that attract mountain bikers from across British Columbia (“Pedal By the Puddle” and “Peel Out”). This year the events attracted 347 competitors, and more than half of those were from out of the Cariboo region. Events that attract out of region tourists have a significant impact on the economy. City staff, using the Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model, has calculated that the economic impact of the 2012 events resulted in more than $45,000 of new money being spent in Williams Lake. The City of Williams Lake continues to be a supporter of Mountain Biking and has an official partnership with the Williams Lake Cycling Club. The City and Club, along with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium, Cariboo Regional District, Tourism BC, Northern Development Initiative Trust and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition has launched a comprehensive marketing campaign in an effort to attract even more mountain bike tourists to the region. Since the initiative began in 2012, there has been a substantial increase in mountain bike tourist spending.

mportant news first. Great grandchild #5, Lucas John, arrived July 26 to Tennille (GD#3) and Cody Penner of Fort St John. First g r andFrench child for Connection S#1 and his wife Diana French Heather. All are doing well. *** The wonders of the Internet. Digging through some old files recently I came across an article by Allan Fotheringham written back in the 1990s during the CORE proceedings. In it, Fotheringham reviewed a 1990 New Yorker article The Ancient Forest by Catherine Caufield, who told the story of the world’s forests and how human folly has managed to destroy most of them. Curious about the entire piece, I Googled, found the article and learned I could copy it (30 pages) from the New Yorker archives for free if I was a subscriber. I am, so I did. It isn’t a pretty story. It’s absolutely eerie reading about the waste, the lack of inventory, raw log exports, the impact of technology on jobs, and the inability to log without damaging the ecosystems. It sounded like today’s concerns. Ms. Caulfield said neither the province nor the industry claimed that the level of harvesting was sustainable, but “worries over this so-called falldown problem are being pushed into the future.� Well, the future is here. Now what? The Empire of the Beetle, written by Andrew Nikiforuk two decades later, isn’t a pretty story either. He too tells how human arrogance has damaged the forests, but now we have the added issues of foraging insects and climate change. It took the politicians on BC’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee five years and a particularly damning report from Auditor General John Doyle before they decided to clean up their act in terms of accounting for gazillions of taxpayers’ dollars. Let’s hope it doesn’t take the government five years to act on Mr. Doyle’s recommendations for forest stewardship. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
Co-ordinated plan needed for tsunami cleanup Coastal authorities in B.C. have long been putting together tsunami and earthquake preparedness plans. The need is growing greater for the three levels of government to have a definite plan in place to deal with potentially environmentally dangerous debris from last year’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan washing up on B.C. coastlines. Items ripped apart by powerful waves, much of them covered with sea life that could threaten native species, have for months been arriving on the western shorelines of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Residents and others concerned about threats to the pristine nature of coastal areas have been doing their best to remove the material. No one knows, given the unpredictable nature of ocean currents, just how much flotsam will reach B.C. shores. But enough has arrived already to inform provincial and federal authorities of the extent of the problem. The washing ashore of a 20-metre concrete and steel
dock in Oregon on June 6 was a further sign that the worst is likely yet to come. The province is in a “fact-gathering stage� on the issue, said Environment Minister Terry Lake, who recently toured Haida Gwaii. His comments that any cleanup plan must be a joint effort between local, provincial and federal governments and First Nations make sense, but indicate the province is not willing to take the lead on tackling this problem. This week’s shockingly low cleanup grant of $50,000 from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for each of the five states affected, shows how low this issue is on that government’s priority list. We hope our federal government, already showing a similar lack of respect for the environment through budget cuts, does not take a similar tack by downplaying this serious issue. — Victoria News

The month of August is especially packed with lots of fun happenings and I’d like to tell you about some of my favourite local events. O n Aug. 18 MLA and 19 is the Musings Redstone Donna Barnett Rodeo in Alexis Creek, running strong ever since 1998. You can expect all your favourite rodeo events including the Redstone Rodeo Dance on Saturday evening. Advance tickets are only $10 and are $15 at the door. Only 300 tickets will be printed so be sure to get yours fast. And don’t forget to pick up your raffle tickets too. At only $5 a pop, how could you miss out on the chance to win a Polaris Sportsman 500 Quad, an Apple iPad 2, or a Sirius Radio complete with a Boom Box? Tickets are available from Redstone Gas Bar, Spectra Power Sports, Gerald William, and various Tsi Deldel First Nation band members. Also coming up is the Lac La Hache South Cariboo Garlic Festival. In its 13th year, this festival is going to kick things up a notch with a wider variety of great foods, raffles, a dunk tank, and entertainment of all sorts. There’s so much to check out and try: tonnes of goodies and treats, crafters and merchants and, of course, the garlic cook-off with a $1,000 grand prize. It’s a really fun way to bring the whole community and your whole family together for some good, old-fashioned garlic-y fun. And don’t forget about Performances in the Park every Thursday evening, or the farmer’s market every Friday morning in Boitanio Park in Williams Lake. Can’t handle the heat? Go for a dip in the Sam Ketcham pool. There really is so much to do. Like most of you, summer is my favourite time of year. With so many opportunities to mingle with neighbours, enjoy some sun and attend wonderful community events. I hope you’ll get out to enjoy as much of summer as you can before it’s gone. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Loons get last laugh at provs Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer They went in with low expectations and marched away with a silver medal. The Williams Lake U14 Loons minor fastball team performed the unthinkable at the recent BC Provincial ‘C’ Minor Fastball Championships in Clearwater July 1215, battling close to 40-C weather through eight seven-inning games. “Most of the teams there had played 30 games during their regular season,� said coach Niki Peever. “We played three.� The team was formed late June and decided to try their hand at competitive ball. The provincial championships was the team’s first tournament. No team from Williams Lake had participated in a provincial championship since 2000 when Williams Lake hosted the tournament at the Dave Means Ballpark. At provincials Williams Lake joined eight other clubs from around the province — Clearwater, Richmond, Sooke, Merritt, North Surrey, Cloverdale, Prince George and Fleetwood. Unbeknownst to Williams Lake players initially, four of those teams were rep clubs. In its first game the Loons met Richmond, one of the tournament favourites, falling 9-3. Trevor

Lawryk named lacrosse player of the year Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s been a while since Riley Lawryk donned his first Williams Lake Bighorns lacrosse jersey. That was seven years ago — Riley was nine years old — and the Bighorns were a fledgling organization just beginning to bud in the lakecity. Lawryk was among the first to join the city’s initial roster of lacrosse players. Last month Lawryk, now 16, achieved another lacrosse first for Williams Lake. He became the first lacrosse player from the Cariboo to be recognized by the BC Lacrosse Association as
Player of the Year. Normally, the award is presented to a player from either Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland. For his efforts he was awarded a $1,000 Subway Lacrosse Player of the Year scholarship after competing at the BC Lacrosse Provincial Championships held in Port Coquitlam early July as a member of the Bighorns’ midget squad. Riley said he decided to take up the sport after watching his step brother play. “I watched a couple of his games and it looked pretty cool, so I wanted to play,” he said. “It was interesting to me because it’s played up
in the air instead of on the ground [like hockey] and the speed of the game is good.” In the winter he also plays hockey; however, as a goalie — a change of pace from playing forward during the lacrosse year. “Lacrosse goalie seemed way too hard,” he joked when asked why he switched positions for lacrosse. “And it seemed pretty scary, too.” He added it means a lot to be the first player from the zone chosen for the award. “It’s pretty good,” he said. “I was pretty excited.” The Subway lacrosse player of the year schol-
arship is initially awarded to one player from each of the eight provincial zones. Riley was the Zone 8 player of the year, prior to being presented the overall player of the year. The award is based on lacrosse achievements, giving back to the sport, coaching, refereeing, enthusiasm and academics. He also plans to continue to stay involved in lacrosse in Williams Lake and hopes to coach, along with Bighorns teammate and friend Benn Taylor, the city’s novice team next season. He said if there’s enough interest he hopes to help start a senior lacrosse team, too.

Ironman Bronc challenge a hit Linda-Lou Howarth Special to The Tribune Last year Chona Archachan and Karen Coldwell from Merritt decided to hold an Ironman Bronc Busting weekend for ranch cowboys to participate in. The perfect spot for the weekend was decided upon to be Jack Palmantier’s Rafter 3 Ranch in Riske Creek, where Jack has a rodeo arena, which was built for the Chilcotin Rodeo Association rodeos. Ironman Bronc Riding was born — an event where the cowboy who rides his first horse gets to continue on to ride a second horse, and so on. As each one bucks off, the last rider who stays on is the winner. The cowboys get so full of adrenaline running over to the chute to grab their saddle in preparation to put it on another bronc. The idea became quite a hit. July 28-29 saw more than 11 cowboys sign up for the event. More than five go for the 11 riders who narrowed the number down to the top six on Saturday. Bronc riders arrived from Saskatchewan, Ashcroft, Douglas Lake, Gang Ranch, and from Tatla

Lake in the Chilcotin. Spectacular rides had riders going sideways in the saddle, upside down, falling on their heads, grabbing the fence to get off or reaching for a pick-up man. Pick-up men, who performed their duties with perfect timing and exceptional skill, were Chona Archachan, Josh Klassen and Mark Elliott. By the end of Saturday, the cowboys who rode five broncs each were quite tired and very happy to seek shade to enjoy a cool one. All in all it was a great day on Saturday. By the end of Saturday four cowboys had ridden five horses each. On Sunday Mike Fay and Curtis Smith were
bucked off their first horse while facing elimination. Next Wacy Marr and Joe Roberson rode their first and second horse, so a decision was made to judge their third horses. In the end Wacy Marr won the Ironman Bronc Riding by one point. The overall results were as follows: The sixth place bronc rider was Ben Kessler, who won a set of rein chains, crafted by Racquel Russell of Riske Creek. Fifth place went to Riely Miller, who won a watch fobcrafted by Peter Mayer (saddle maker, silver engraver of McLeese Lake). The watch fob had a little, silver saddle engraved with Ironman
2012 Rafter 3 Brand on the back. The fourth place winner was Curtis Smith, who won $260 in cash. Third place was Mike Fay, who just began bronc riding and pocketed $480. The second place rider was Joe Roberson, who won $710 for his efforts, plus a bronc halter made by Dustin Sippola. Finally, the first place rider, Wacey Marr, won $950. He also won a big buckle with Ironman Bronc Busting champion 2012, donated by Kristal’s Kustom Sewing (Kristal McColl).

Taking a chance on music in the digital age Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer If you love music you can make and record it almost anywhere in this digital electronic era. Brandon Hoffman is doing just that in pursuing a career in music and recording music that got its start in Williams Lake and is now rocking in Vancouver. Brandon, on hand-made bass, drummer Adrian St. Louis, and lead guitarist and singer-songwriter Leathan Milne entertained the crowd with singer-songwriter Colin Easthope on guitar, vocals and harmonica in an alternate country/ blues performance during Arts on the Fly in Horsefly July 13-14. Colin, a solo artist, also tours with Leathan. Brandon, Leathan, and Adrian are also all members of the Vancouver band Miami Device, a 10to 12-member Afro-beat band with a horn section and lots of percussion, congas, and shekere (shaker gourds). “We also play with a few members of Five Alarm Funk,� Hoffman says. Five Alarm Funk is the dynamic, high powered, 10-member world beat band from Vancouver that closed out Arts on the Fly. Brandon says Miami Device plays more traditional Afro-beat music with a Nigerian influence. Miami Device has been playing for four years, the last two years with the same members. They play gigs around Vancouver and the province. This spring they performed at the Vancouver Jazz Festival and in Osoyoos for Canada Day. “We are collaborators. We all intermingle but also do our own things,� Brandon says. While home these days is Vancouver, Brandon takes every chance he gets to make music in the great outdoors and did just that with his friends at Arts on the Fly. “Given the option, I don’t know why anybody would choose to make music in some sterile newfangled downtown recording studio,� Brandon wrote recently on his website blog. “Following Colin Easthope and Leathan Milne’s west-coast tour, we hauled the mobile Gnomegrown recording rig up to a family cabin at Timothy Lake, B.C. In four days, six songs were tracked mostly live-off-the-floor with the wood stove crackling away in the corner. “Dag nammit, I already miss it. Expect a digital release of the tunes in time for festival season.� Brandon is drawn back to the Cariboo because his roots are here. He comes from a well-known teaching and musical family in

Drummer Adrian St. Louis plays drums for Colin Easthope at Arts on the Fly. Williams Lake. His mother Sharon sings with Quintet Plus and with a trio called Willow and is very involved with the Studio Theatre Society both on stage and behind the scenes. His dad Murray is a long-time member of the Cariboo Gold Dance Band playing trumpet and flugelhorn. His older sister Morgan is the scientist of the family, he says, and follows in their parents footsteps as a teacher. His grandfather Ken Hoffman in Langley recently helped Brandon to build the electric upright bass he played at Arts on the Fly. Brandon says it was supposed to be a collaborative project but he credits his grandfather for most of the work building the four-string instrument out of maple wood and mounting it on a cymbal stand. He says his grandfather built houseboats and furniture before retiring and of late has had a fascination with making musical instruments which include a harp he also made for a cousin. “He plucks the banjo a little but lately he’s had a fascination with
making musical instruments,� Brandon says. Brandon took piano lessons through school and played bass and guitar with the high-school band. After graduating from Columneetza secondary in 2003, Brandon attended the Stylus College of Music and Sound Technology, then earned a degree in communications from Simon Fraser University. He says the communications degree has actually become pretty handy in his business of recording, promoting and selling music in this digital age. Brandon has had his Gnomegrown music recording studio for about five years but didn’t start recording and playing music fulltime until three years ago. He records in his home-based studio, other studios and on location. “Most of my equipment is quite mobile so we can set up almost anywhere to record,� Brandon says. He says getting the right sound can be a challenge in cabins and other locations so they move furniture around, set up acoustic panels and lay out quilts everywhere until the sound is just right. “It can be quite a challenge,� Brandon says. Hoffman says Miami Device is in the process of releasing an album titled Monopoly in the oldfashioned vinyl record form. “There is a rising demand there for vinyl and a lot of it is the shear indulgence of being able to hear ourselves on vinyl,� Brandon says. The album is mostly instrumental with a few vocals in different tracks. His favourite track is called Indian Arm. As a solo artist Brandon is also involved in developing his own
sample-based electronic music, recording solo and in jam sessions, then chopping and rearranging the music. He publishes his own music under the name Blocktreat, a forestry silviculture reference. “I have planted many a tree in my day,� Brandon says. He says a new Blocktreat album is on the way from an experimental label in Vancouver called Jellyfish Recordings. Brandon’s communications degree has also come in handy when it comes to the job of promoting and selling music in a digital age when no one wants to pay for it. He says artists usually sell songs on the Internet for $1 a song but the fun part for him is coming up with interesting promotional ideas. In one promotion he tried a “pay-what-you-want� campaign, which ended up generating the same amount of money as paying $1 a song but the music ended up reaching a wider audience which helps to build a fan base. In another promotion he sold packets of wild-flower seeds with codes on them to download the songs. Brandon says he buys music on the Internet but also buys CDs, especially experimental music that is hard to find on line. He says it’s great to have the moral support of his family in pursuing a musical career and venues to play in such as Arts on the Fly. “The Arts on the Fly organizers are an amazing bunch of folks to work with and their support for B.C.’s musical community is fantastic,� Brandon says.

COMMUNITY House concerts becoming popular concert venues Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Debbie Allison Altherr has been performing her bluesy-style music in Williams Lake and the Cariboo Chilcotin for many years now. Over the past two decades she has taken to the stage with the likes of Peter Gooch, Michael Butterfield, Brian Sawyer and others. For the last two years she has teamed up with her husband Dave Altherr, accompanying her on stand-up bass. This summer she released her first album, Casitaville. Dave Altherr’s bass has its own interesting saga. At a recent house concert, Allison, (as Debbie likes to be known now), started introducing her fellow musicians. “Who do you think is the oldest one up here? And what year was he born?” Brian Sawyer started shuffling his feet. “I’ll give you a hint. He was born in 1935.”
Brian stopped shuffling. Then Allison introduced the stand-up bass Dave was playing as an instrument was rescued from an attic in Switzerland. It was refurbished with its broken bridge replaced, and brought to Canada where Dave learned to play it. In her 20 odd years of performing, Allison had never recorded an album. Two years ago she decided to do something about it. She went to Vancouver with a list of cover songs to record, but friend and recording engineer Jim Woodyard encouraged her to write her own material. “I bought a horse trailer in Arizona with living quarters in the front, and turned the back into a recording studio.” This allowed her to pre-record songs and create arrangements while she travelled about the country seeking out the various artists she wanted on her album. She then recorded them
Summer ambassadors for the used oil recycling program will be visiting six used oil recycling collection facilities in Williams Lake Monday, Aug. 6 and Tuesday, Aug. 7. They will be spreading the message that “one drop makes a difference.” The goal of the program by the British Columbia Used Oil Management Association is to generate public awareness to keep hazardous mate-
rials such as used oil and antifreeze out of our drinking water and landfills. BCUOMA is a notfor-profit organization responsible for the implementation of a province-wide recovery and recycling system for used oil, antifreeze, and their respective filters and containers. The organization says that more than 18 million litres of used oil is not recovered by the BC Used Oil program each year. These

recorded tracks with renowned bluegrass mandolin player Eric Uglum. Next it was over to Idaho to lay down tracks with Grammy award-winning guitarist Mike Dowling. Back in Vancouver Allison recorded guitar tracks with Jim Woodyard, along with bass and piano tracks with other musicians. Once she accumulated all the material she needed, she headed to Seattle to get David Lange to do the mixing. “David is an outstanding engineer. He understood the feel I wanted.” She says in Seattle there is a Northwest sound that isn’t heard anywhere else. Travelling around the country to record her album she feels she got the flavour of the various regions. While Allison pro-
duced the album herself, writing most of the material, arranging it, and assisting with the cover design and layout, she is quick to credit the support and advice of all the wonderful engineers and musicians who helped her. “I couldn’t have done it without their expertise.” Recently Allison and Dave gave a house concert at the home of Brian and Linda Sawyer, backed up by Brian on guitar and Mike Butterfield on flute and recorder. She hopes to do more house concerts so stay posted. It’s a great evening’s entertainment. You can follow Allison on her casitaville. com website, to sample her music or buy her album.

habitat protection everyone’s business
Give life .... register to be an organ donor today! Bruce MacLeod photo
“A person just doesn’t know how to add to what the picture says,” states Bruce MacLeod, Horsefly River Round Table member. “It clearly says Horsefly River, and Salmon Habitat Please Protect Our Heritage, yet despite those signs, and numerous other DFO signs across the river, and clearly marked boundaries of access, people still don’t get it, and persist in taking a chance on harming the riparian area along the Horsefly River.”
Horsefly River Roundtable learns more about First Nations commercial fishery Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune The Horsefly River Roundtable learned more about the First Nations commercial fishery in the Interior when Gordon Sterritt, Northern Shuswap Tribal Council Fisheries manager, gave an informal presentation at the round table’s June 21 meeting. “The Northern Shuswap Tribal Council is involved in bringing commercial fisheries to the Cariboo Interior and, in particular, within the traditional territory of the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw,” Sterritt said. “Northern Shuswap Fisheries occur on the Quesnel River and Lake, Horsefly River, as well an area of the lower Chilcotin River and Fraser River main stem. “The purpose of the fisheries is to bring economic opportunity to the Interior with regards to commercial fishing that is more conservation focused and has the ability to respond to inseason dynamics within the runs that are returning and being relied on for these fisheries. “The fisheries also have the ability to protect the weaker (populations that are declining in numbers) while targeting the stronger stocks, a feature that the traditional commercial mixed stock marine fishery does not have the ability to do,” Sterritt said. “The quality of the fish from this area is marketable and the products are sought after by top
restaurants and markets in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland. “The NSTC commercial fisheries are entirely selective, like the traditional food fishery. We utilize a variety of selective fishing methods such as dip net, fish wheel, beach seine, as well as purse seine in the lake. “By selective we mean the fisheries have the ability to return bycatch species (species that are not targeted) such as rainbow trout, lake trout, Coho and others back to their environment unharmed while retaining the target species, which is usually sockeye,” Sterritt said. “With these fisheries conservation is first and foremost in our minds when planning these fisheries and if we determine that our food, social and ceremonial (FSC) needs will not be met or that there is a conservation concern in-season we will not proceed with a commercial venture. “It also ensures that our traditional economic opportunities are again realized and it provides greater opportunities within the commercial and recreational sectors by allowing more fish in river,” Sterritt said. The idea of an Inland Commercial Fishery came about in 2005, and to that end demonstration fisheries took place on the Quesnel River. In 2010 Sterritt was appointed NSTC Fisheries manager and had to build an organiza-
tion from the ground up, starting with training people to operate small fishing boats, VHF radios, marine safety, and fishing skills. The course took place in Penticton on Skaha Lake. A pilot training program for inland commercial fishery workers was held in Osoyoos in early August 2011 where workers learned harvesting, handling, monitoring and quality control. It is important to note that this fishery is done in co-operation with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Many questions were advanced regarding fish quality, revenue, bycatch, etc., which were answered to everyone’s satisfaction. It is important to note that unless the stocks are sufficient enough to take some fish, fish will not be taken. A small seine is used, which is easy to either net the catch and release it, or simply open and release all the fish. There were rainbow trout, kokanee and very few sockeye caught last year. There were no fatalities. The NSTC committed to being a presence at our regular meetings, as well as to have an informational booth at our next Salmon festival. The roundtable would like to see the day occur when the fish would be so abundant a fishery can take place, and will continue to work toward that goal by protecting the watershed as best
we can. The Horsefly River has the capacity to handle 900,000 sockeye. As a Horsefly River
Roundtable member that is my goal, to see that day in my lifetime. Wouldn’t that be something?
