Government workers were on the picket line for a one-day strike across the province Wednesday, including workers in Williams Lake seen here near the government building on Seventh Avenue.
Gov’t workers hit the picket line Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Government workers were on the picket line Wednesday in Williams Lake. Around 118 BC Government Employee Union (BCGEU) members, not including essential services, were walking around the
government building on Borland Street and at the Government Liquor Store with placards, joined by another 40 members of the Professional Employees Association (PSA). As picketers walked the streets, many motorists honked and waved as they drove by. James Moe of the BCGEU said
the building on Borland Street was not closed to the public, and people needing services inside, such as probation, could access the building. “We are not picketing courthouses either,” Moe said Harry Jennings, a member of the PSA, said the purpose of the oneday strike was to demonstrate to
the public the union’s interest in a fair wage and professional management of B.C.’s resources. It’s the first time in more than 20 years that the government of B.C. is behind picket lines. More than 27,000 government and ICBC workers were on strike, impacting 1,785 government work sites in 153 B.C. communities.
Teenager seriously injured in ATV crash A teenager received serious head injuries after the ATV he was riding crashed into a tree Monday afternoon. At 3:20 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a report of an all terrain vehicle rollover on Frizzy PM 0040785583
Road near the River Valley Trail. Two teenage boys were in the area of the River Valley Trail riding ATVs attempting to “high mark” the side of a steep slope. An 18-year-old male lost control of the ATV on the steep slope and
crashed into a tree at the bottom of the hill. Police, fire and BC Ambulance responded to the call and the injured teen was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital with serious head injuries. He was later airlifted to Royal In-
land Hospital in Kamloops. The Williams Lake RCMP are reminding operators of these types of vehicles to use helmets at all times. Travel in pairs when possible and have a cellphone with you in case of emergencies.

Boitanio Park bear put down Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A black bear was put down Tuesday morning in Boitanio Park. At about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, the bear was spotted in and around Boitanio Park. As there were children near by, the Williams Lake RCMP responded to ensure the safety of bystanders. Police say it appears the bear had made the park his home for the past several days. “The bear began to run throughout the park, increasing the threat to pedestrians in the area,” the RCMP says in a press release. “The BC Conservation Services were called

to assist and, unfortunately, the bear had to be dispatched as it had run up a tree.” Sgt. Len Butler of the BC Conservation Officer Service says bear complaints are steadily coming in and the public is reminded to be vigilant about picking up crab apples and keeping their garbage intact. “Right from Quesnel to 100 Mile House our officers are busy with bear complaints,” Butler says. People need to call the 1-877-952-7277 Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) to make a complaint because that’s the quickest way to reach the
conservation service. “When we’re out of the office, we need people to call that number, and then we will get an update immediately on our Iphones,” Butler says. When asked about possible relocation of bears, rather than putting them down, Butler says they don’t generally relocate black bears. “We have no place to put them anymore. People could solve a lot of their problems by keeping attractants down. “We don’t like killing everything. It’s simple. If there’s no food around, the bears will go out in the bush where they should be.”

Two adult males aged 54 years and 34 years were arrested and are facing charges for production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The 34-year-old male was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant from Vancouver for the same drug charges relating to a previous investigation. He was held in custody on that matter and released the next day from court. Police believe the suspects’ only purpose for being in the Cari-
boo area was to grow marijuana. Both men will make their first court appearance on this matter on Dec. 19 in Williams Lake. This investigation is part of the Marihuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strategy to combat marijuana grow operations and the organized crime groups running them in our communities. Anyone with information in relation to a marijuana grow operation is asked to contact the RCMP or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477), online at w w w. p g c r i m e s t o p pers.bc.ca, or text a tip to CRIMES (274637) using keyword “pgtips.”

HandyDART services to expand in October Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer HandyDART services in Williams Lake will be expanded by five extra hours a week beginning Oct. 1. The city will share the cost with BC Transit. Expanding the service was an item that came up at the end of the budget process in the spring, after council heard from Seniors Advisory Council president Audrey MacLise, who advocated more services were needed in the community. Staff told council the cost for the expanded hours will be around $30,000, considerably less than the originally budgeted amount of $50,000. The cost savings is because the service starts on Oct.1, but also because BC Transit has agreed to share the total cost. For the Oct. 1 to Dec.31 segment, the city will pay $3,500 and BC Transit will pay $3,900. Chief Administrative Officer Brian Carruthers said in partnership with BC Transit and the Lakers Go Bus Society, the city plans to monitor the usage.
“A great majority of these extra hours are for Saturday service and so we intend to monitor the use and ensure that the people we pick up are aware of the hours that are being offered,” Carruthers said. Coun. Laurie Walters asked if there will be additional advertising about the extended hours, and heard that users of the service are registered and those current clients will be made aware of the increase in service. “BC Transit does all of our promotion on our behalf, but we can certainly get the word out,” Carruthers said. “The next edition of the Rider’s Guide will also include the information, but it doesn’t come out until next year. “Again, this is more on a trial basis and given the added hours we may get new subscribers to the HandyDART service.” Coun. Ivan Bonnell congratulated staff and BC Transit for responding to the April request so quickly, and was echoed by Coun. Surinderpal Rathor, who said the expanded service recognizes the needs of seniors in the community.

NEWS Courthouse bomb threat a hoax
Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Staff Sgt. Dave Olson from the BC Sheriff Service, during a lock down at the Williams Lake courthouse Tuesday morning due to a bomb threat, which later turned out to be a hoax. Police say that at around 9 a.m. Tuesday morning the RCMP responded to the threat of a possible explosive device at the courthouse, resulting in a lock down of the building that lasted until early afternoon. The RCMP and BC Sheriffs Services ensured the safety of the building’s employees and and escorted clients from within. With the assistance of Police Dog Services out of Prince George, the courthouse was cleared and the threat was determined to be a hoax. The RCMP’s investigation into the source of this threat is continuing.
Items stolen from 150 Mile home Various items were stolen from home on Mission Road last month. The Williams Lake RCMP say that be-
tween Aug. 4 and Aug. 24, the following items were stolen from a residence on Mission Road in 150 Mile House: a new 235 Husquavarna
chainsaw, a used 385 Husquavarna chainsaw, a used 38 Husquavarna weed cutter, a new 42inch LG television, and a 2008 silver 700
Arctic Cat quad. The RCMP are asking anyone with information in regards to these items to contact the Wil-
liams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Elementary school broken into Wildwood Elementary School was broken into early Monday morning. At about 5:30 a.m.,
the Williams Lake RCMP responded to an alarm at the school. Police arrived on
scene, found signs of forced entry, and checked the school and property but did not locate anyone.
Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating who is responsible for the break and enter. Po-
lice urge anyone with any information on this matter to call the Williams Lake RCMP or Crimestoppers.
Break-in at beer and wine store The Overlander Beer and Wine Store was broken into early Tuesday morning. Police say that on Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 04:32 a.m. an employee of the Overlander Hotel called the Williams Lake RCMP to report a break and enter in progress at the Overlander Beer and Wine Store. At the time of report-
ing the hotel employee was alerted to the break in as a result of hearing the alarm going off. The employee investigated further and observed two individuals attempting to forcibly enter the beer and wine store. The perpetrators gained access, making several trips back and forth from the store to a
vehicle before leaving. By the time police arrived the perpetrators had departed the area, the RCMP say, adding that the suspect vehicle was described as a darkcoloured sedan. While conducting a follow-up investigation, police located a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description travelling at a high rate
of speed on 11th Avenue and failing to stop at marked intersections, the RCMP say. Because of the area and distance, it was impractical for police to pursue and the vehicle was not located. The Williams Lake RCMP Forensic Unit attended the beer and wine store to examine the crime scene. Video
surveillance of the beer and wine store confirmed that three perpetrators all wearing hoodies were involved in the crime. The matter is still under investigation. Anyone with information that could assist police are asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Three receive diamond jubilee Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Three Williams Lake residents were honoured at city hall Tuesday when MP Dick Harris presented them with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee award. “The thing about the people that we’re going to recognize tonight and celebrate is that they didn’t do these things and become part of organizations or charities for any type of a reward. They did it because they wanted to be citizens. The people that we are honouring tonight have spent years involved in activities that helped people and helped their community,” Harris said before making the presentations to the award recipients –– Audrey MacLise, Bill Reid, and city councillor Surinderpal Rathor. Queen Elizabeth II has requested the medal, honouring 60 years of her reign, be given to people around the commonwealth who have made special contributions to their country and communities, Harris explained. “So that is what we have tonight. The presentation to three of Williams Lake’s living lights and very special people being recognized for their community service.” Harris took turns with each recipient giving them a medal, certificate and a booklet listing all of the medal recipients. He described Reid as a model citizen. His volunteer work, which began in 1992 with Neighbourhood Watch, has been called “a

It’s a demonstration of his commitment. His steadfast enthusiasm to his fellow neighbour should be, and is, an inspiration to us all.” In accepting the medal, Reid said he wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for his wife. When presenting the medal to MacLise, who has volunteered in community affairs since the 1960s, Harris said her volunteerism has impacted many people in Williams Lake and the surrounding area. “All of us have benefited from the countless hours of Audrey’s care and comfort provided to the sick and suffering. Audrey MacLise has been a source of inspiration to, I’m sure, ev-
eryone in this community and everyone who knows her.” In 2009, she was nominated and received a B.C. Community Achievement Award. Rathor’s award follows the receipt of a B.C. Community Achievement Award in 2005, the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Award in 2002, and the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal in 1992. “His outreach bridges cultures, his focus helps break through language barriers, he assists in taxes preparation, and provides ongoing support to the elderly. I know for a fact that in Surinder Rathor’s lifetime there’s been more than 30,000 hours of volunteer service and I know that number is matched by Mrs. MacLise and Mr. Reid as well, and is an indication of the commitment these folks have,” Harris said, adding he’s

happy to call Surinder a friend and was pleased to receive his name as a possible candidate for
the award. “Williams Lake has got many people like these three and it’s a real benefit to the community. I hope people take the time when they see these three people to take the time to say congratulations,” Harris said. Mayor Kerry Cook said she had pages of notes of each person’s accomplishments. “For all three of these individuals, we know Williams Lake would not be the same without them. The dedication and determination of Audrey, the example of Bill Reid and his community service speaks volumes, and the same goes for our own councillor Rathor.

WL fire protection talks continue The Cariboo Regional District and the City of Williams Lake recently started the next round of negotiations to develop a new agreement for fire protection services in the Williams Lake Rural Fringe area. A majority of the Williams Lake rural fringe property owners are covered by a provincial fire protection agreement that pre-dates the establishment of the regional district, explains a joint news release from the CRD and the city. The province has been requesting the CRD and city to negotiate a new fire protection agreement for the fringe property owners for a number of years. With the pending expiry of the two adjacent CRD fire protection agreements, in 2011 the CRD and city established a sub-committee to negotiate a new consolidated fire protection agreement for all three fringe areas. The results of those negotiations were presented to council earlier this year at which time council rejected the proposal for a new agreement. The provincial government subsequently issued a letter advising that the provincial fire protection agreement would be terminated on Dec. 31, 2012. Based on
that letter the CRD and the city have agreed to resume negotiations to try to negotiate a new agreement. The new agreement would see the Williams Lake Fire Department continue to provide fire protection to Williams Lake rural fringe property owners under one amalgamated agreement with a fair and equitable cost-sharing arrangement for all property owners, the release says. In order to provide affected Williams Lake rural fringe residents with a November 2012 referendum, a new agreement
needs to be presented to the CRD board of directors in October, giving the committee three to four weeks to reach an agreement. The CRD will host public meetings this month to provide affected CRD residents with updates about the negotiations. Meeting dates and locations are expected to be announced soon.

e welcomed a special guest at Tuesday’s council meeting. MP Dick Harris presented Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medals to three incredible residents: Audrey MacLise, Bill Reid, and Councillor Surinderpal Rathor. Their dedication and commitment to helping From the others is Mayor’s an inspiChair ration. Whether Kerry Cook it is delivering meals, advocating for seniors, or helping with tax returns (and these three do this and much more), as I said Tuesday night, these individuals and those like them are what makes Williams Lake such a great place to live. Also on Tuesday night, council approved an expansion of handyDART hours, including new Saturday coverage, which will begin Oct. 1. Because BC Transit was able to cost-share, this will cost the city only $3,500 in 2012. Next week, I will have the honour of attending Stone reserve as Lieutenant Governor Steven Point opens the new library there. Through the work of the Rotary Club of Williams Lake, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Stone band, the community will have the benefit of its own library. Last year, a library opened in Toosey as a result of leadership from the Daybreak Rotary Club, so it is good to see that success breeds more success! Our local Rotarians have set a high standard for other clubs in this unique joint partnership. I will be meeting with Brian Battison of Taseko Mines today, and I’m looking forward to an update on the New Prosperity proposal. I will let you know next week what I learned! Another great Cariboo weekend coming up, with the Williams Lake Harvest Fair both days and the Tour de Cariboo Saturday. My thanks to all the volunteers who make these events possible, and to the Tour de Cariboo participants, who are helping raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Williams Lake. I encourage everyone to support both events this weekend! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
Our Viewpoint
A harvest holiday I took a week off last week, spending most of my holiday time tending to my 33-by-30-foot garden — harvesting zucchini (lots of it), peas, beans, green onions, herbs, broccoli, cauliflower, and squash, and freezing much of my pickings so they will last the winter. I also harvested buckets of weeds that I had been neglecting over the summer — most of those went to my mother’s chickens. My spouse and I started our garden from scratch in the spring, pulling root wads, sticks, logs, rocks, and boulders out of a large mound of dirt, placing logs around the perimeter so we could have a raised garden, then putting up six-foot fencing to keep the deer out and adding extra soil and fertilizer (from the chickens) before finally planting all of our seeds. It also took a fair bit of time planning it all out, making sure that the onions wouldn’t be next to the peas and beans since certain plants make nasty neighbours for others. Keeping a garden is a lot of work, but it is so worth it. Our stocked freezer proves it and there is still more to pick, pack, and freeze. If I want a salad, all I have to do is head outside to the garden and pick romaine and leaf lettuce, Swiss chard, and kale, wash off the dirt, and
voila! I have a salad, as fresh as it can be, and it tastes delicious. There is something strangely satisfying about having control over what I eat, knowing exactly where it comes from, that it is fresh and safe, and that I had a hand in creating it. I also get to be outside in the pure summer air, hanging out with my cat, who shares my garden joys by napping between the tomato plants. Nothing can beat that feeling. Those entering their garden produce at the Harvest Fair this weekend know what I am talking about and the pride that comes from picking the absolute perfect spud or beet — one of my acorn squashes seems pretty amazing to me! Though I don’t have any entries in the fair that takes place this weekend at Stampede Park, the event is definitely something to check out. If, for some strange reason, vegetables just aren’t your thing, there are also flowers, blankets, artwork, clothing, and pie, to name a few (and who doesn’t love pie?) You all should take it in — a lot of hard work, and love, has gone into the event and the entries that deserve much appreciation and admiration. — Erin Hitchcock

he resignation of high profile cabinet ministers from Premier Christy Clark’s government can be read many ways. Is it an indication of a lack of support for the premier within her caucus and cabinet? Are these individuals making their decisions based on multiple polls indicating the BC Liberal brand is broken and likely facing obliteration in next May’s election? Or do we take the reMLA signing Musings cabinet minisBob Simpson ters and MLAs at their word? That they have other plans, want to spend more time with their families, or are simply done with politics?  Having so many Liberal MLAs and cabinet ministers resign increases the likelihood that we won’t have a fall session of the legislature. It would be foolhardy for the premier to subject herself to Opposition claims that these resignations signal “rats abandoning a sinking ship� while subjecting her newly appointed Cabinet to the daily scrutiny of question period. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s resignation signals trouble for the premier in the business community and undermines her ability to table a balanced budget in advance of the May 2013 election. Not tabling a balanced budget will be viewed as yet another “broken promise,� and maybe that’s what Mr. Falcon was avoiding with his resignation. During his resignation announcement, Education Minister George Abbott gave an interesting insight into the state of politics in B.C. Mr. Abbott claimed he wanted to switch his focus away from politics to concentrate on “public policy,� particularly education policy. This is a telling statement. As the minister of education, Mr. Abbott was supposed to be fully in charge of all public policy related to the K-12 system in this province, but the pre-eminence of the premier’s office undermines the ability of ministers to truly affect public policy in their area of responsibility. Mr. Abbott’s statement should trouble us all. We need to get back to having cabinet govern the province; better yet, we need reforms that will enable all MLAs to be involved in governing between elections. Maybe that would help us attract and retain more capable people in B.C. politics. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More mine answers needed Editor: I would like to ask Brian Battison more questions about his response to Pat Teti’s letters in the Tribune Aug. 21 and Aug. 30. Has the Canadian Department of Finance and the Centre for Spatial Economics (C4SE) firm, in their forecasts, ever made a mistake on the number of jobs in their employment potential reports? It is just a forecast and forecasts can be incorrect! What is a macroeconomic approach? What really are the cumulative impacts? We must study the cumulative
impacts from both sides to arrive at our conclusions. In your letter, you said it is a comprehensive estimate. So at this stage, it is just an estimate of the economics and fiscal impact. How do we know that the contribution will be $11 billion? Is the $11 billion the fiscal forecast? Is the report just an analysis of the increase in employment? What is a person year? Seventy-one thousand workers equals 57,000 person years. The additional amount suggests one person year of employment equals plus-five person years. Positive impacts are greater than the number of employees. The an-
nual difference in employment equals 3,000. Three thousand times 20 years equals 60,000. You estimated 57,000. Seventy-one thousand workers equals 57,000 person years. Is there a mistake in the math? Seventy-one thousands jobs, 60,000 employment difference, and 57,000 person years. With the world economy the way it is today, plus a possible change politically, does the mine have a 20-year life expectancy? The public has so many unanswerable questions at this time. Chris Hornby Williams Lake
Liberal, NDP parties losing votes Editor:  The provincial NDP party has, over the years, branded itself as both the people’s party and the workingman’s party. Currently it seems the party is now playing cosy to another select group of people that is anti everything. Even prior to an election the NDP has decided to cast aside the actual financial needs of the province in favour of a percentage of the populace that see the world through rose-coloured glasses. If I were a member of the NDP I would want the party to explain, being against industrial and economic development such as pipelines and mining, how it proposes to provide jobs and also pay for a growing provincial budget without increasing taxes? Many have lived through a couple of periods when the NDP were in power, government grew,
development stalled and left the province, industry floundered, and taxes exploded, not unlike a socialist state. One of the greatest problems that I have with Canada’s political system is when a party eventually obtains power, licence is taken, making the people who voted for it look like uninformed, silly, little children. Our provincial Liberal party has done this with the selling of BC Rail and the introduction of the HST. Federally I recall one Conservative politician declaring, following Brian Mulroney’s win, it is our turn, like as if it was the Conservatives’ turn to horde the candy in the candy jar.  Certainly the NDP could win the next provincial election, declaring in advance that it is against industrial and economic development prior to that election; this, in my opinion is absolute nonsense, like
informing your future employer that, yes, you want the job, but you, the employee, will be setting the rules of your employment. Â However, declaring these things in advance of an election is better than the Liberals sneaking the sale of BC Rail and the HST, but where in the world do the NDP think the money comes from to operate and manage the provincial economy? Appeasing a segment of the population just to win an election is ridiculous, and in my opinion reflects a total lack of understanding of actual provincial government management. I can see a majority of provincial voters becoming so frustrated with both the Liberals and the NDP that their vote, if they vote, becomes any party but one of these two. Â Doug Wilson Williams Lake
Prosperity would impact the environment Editor: The recent letter by Brian Battison reiterates the main bargaining point for supporters of the New Prosperity mine: employment and a boost for the economy of Williams Lake. This lure of economic benefits is enough to bring the business association and local council on side. Battison refers to the “economic impact� of this project. An interesting choice of words. The impact this mine could have upon the land, lakes, watersheds, fish, wildlife and the Taseko River would be unbelievable. This beautiful area would never be the same. A project of this magnitude would have a cumulative effect far too

great to allow this project to proceed. This would be the second largest open pit mine in Canada. The gold is a very low concentration. A huge volume of earth would be excavated, moved, processed, then transported as concentrate to the Gibraltar loading facility at McAllister. The greenhouse gas emissions would be extreme. Taseko Mines has never put forward a truly alternative proposal. It was not “economically feasible� for it to do so. It could have proposed angled drilling, leaving the waterways intact, and taken its ore south. Opponents of the mine believe the lakes and waterways will be severely affected, possibly destroyed.
A 400-foot “containment damâ€? may not hold up. The Shuswap bands are unanimously opposed to the transmission line that would go through their lands. The Tsilhqot’in people of Nemiah Valley spent 17 years in provincial court to establish their aboriginal rights to the land and resources in the area that includes Fish Lake. They won their case. Taseko Mines does not have a good working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in people. It would exploit their lands to extract the precious metals, imposing its will upon the First Nations people. This has not worked well in the past.  Â

Van rolls down hill Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
The Williams Lake RCMP, BC Ambulance and Williams Lake Fire Department responded to a call Wednesday when an unoccupied, parked van rolled down the hill on Seventh Avenue North, striking the Alex Fraser Research Forest building. Police say the person responsible for the vehicle tried to stop it but was unsuccessful. The person was uninjured but distraught and, as a result, was taken to hospital for observation. The van was later towed. There was no cost estimate or description of damage to the vehicle or building at press time.

Tour de Cariboo celebrates 20 years Saturday
Saturday, Sept. 8 Dirty Knobby
Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer With 20 years under its belt, this Saturday’s Tour de Cariboo bike ride from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake is going to be a celebration. That’s the message from Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director Lorraine Levitt, who helps organize the fundraising event annually. “This is our 20th anniversary, so it’s very cool,� Levitt said. “We’re as organized as we can be and everything is running smoothly on this end.� The ride, a 75-kilometre excursion from Williams Lake’s Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to Gavin Lake, features spectacular scenery, varied terrain accommodating to all levels of riders and fun. Pledges, donations and contributions from riders are crucial, Levitt said, to help fund local BBBS programs. “I think it’s important to get out that 100 per cent of the proceeds raised here through the tour do stay in Williams Lake to support our local children’s programs,� she said, noting both BBBS’s in-school mentoring program and traditional BBBS programs are benefitted. Levitt said registration for this year’s event, so far, is slightly down, but is encouraging more people to sign up. “Registration is not great,� she said. “We’ve had anywhere between 60 to 110 riders and the average is probably about 80, and we’re sitting at 60 right now, so it’s a little lower than we’d hoped for. What happens, though, is sometimes if the weather is nice the trained riders, who don’t need to train too much, look at the weather when they wake up in the morning and say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to ride.’�
The Williams Lake Stampeders will host open tryouts every Tuesday and Thursday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex beginning at 9 p.m. There is a $50 tryout fee for all eight monthly sessions to be paid before going on the ice.
The Dirty Knobby 2012 will be on Sept. 8 in the Mountain House Road area. The annual event will be hosted by the Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association (WLORMA). It will (as always) be open to all ages and skill levels, with more fun and activities planned than ever before. For more information check out www.wlorma.ca for updates on events and locations. A new course location will provide additional parking for participants.

Top: Tour de Cariboo riders pose for the annual group shot, prior to embarking for Gavin Lake. Above: Riders leave from the Cariboo Memorial Complex during last year’s 19th Tour de Cariboo. Registration gets underway Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, with the race scheduled to kick off at 9 a.m. City councillor Geoff Bourdon will be on hand for the opening address, while physiotherapist Betty Donahue will lead the warmup. Along the way to Gavin Lake riders are accompanied by several volunteers in support vehicles who will make sure everyone is safe. “We have first aid, we have rest stops and we have lunch set up at Big Lake, so there’s always someone with the riders to make sure they’re OK,� she said. Once at Gavin Lake there will be entertainment, including Jay and Chelsea Goddard, Oren Barter, DJ RecordChode and Steve Hunter, along with a dinner catered by volunteer Adele Mclearn. New School District 27 Superintendent
Mark Thiessen will be the MC. Inner Balance Wellness Studio and Spa’s massage therapist Jennifer Kopp will also be on hand to relieve aches and pains for those who need it. This year’s event will also feature a 20th anniversary slide show, showcasing all 20 years of the Tour de Cariboo. Also riding once again at this year’s event is longtime Tour de Cariboo supporter 78-year-old Torry Kier. This will be his 18th Tour de Cariboo. Kier, however, doesn’t just ride to Gavin Lake — he rides back home once he’s finished. “He’s phenomenal,� Levitt said. “He rides there and back, and if he wins a prize he donates it back. Generally, he gets a bike that he’ll give back to one of our kids.� To date, Kier has raised more than $100,000 for Williams Lake’s BBBS chapter.
Prizes will be presented in the afternoon for the fastest racers and the top fundraisers and include: medallions for fastest racers; a round trip for two to Vancouver from Pacific Coastal; tea for two at Butchart Gardens with an overnight stay at the Accent Inn; bike park passes for Sun Peaks Resort with overnight accommodation at the Heffley Boutique Inn; a Fraser River rafting trip for two and overnight stay at the Colonial 900 in Hope; luncheon harbour cruises in Vancouver; Cariboo-Chilcotin jet boat adventures and overnight stays at the Chilcotin Lodge Bed and Breakfast; and a weekend at the Woodland Cariboo Resort at Puntzi Lake. For more information or to register visit www.bbswlake.com, call BBBS at 250-398-8391 or drop by its downtown office located at 200369 Oliver St.
BC Hockey Female High Performance Program Registration is underway for a BC Hockey U14 female identification camp in Williams Lake coming up this Sept. 8-9 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. For more contact BC Hockey at info@bchockey.net or call 250-652-2978.
Saturday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 9 Tomahawks tryouts The Lac La Hache Tomahawks will host open tryouts starting Saturday, Sept. 8 at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Sept. 8 the tryout time is from 8:30 to 10 p.m. Sunday, tryouts go from 2:15 to 3:45 p.m. The team is also hosting tryouts in 100 Mile House and requires a $50 fee to step on the ice for all of the sessions.

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Strength, speed and, most importantly, technique, are three qualities any strongman must possess. Two Williams Lake athletes, John Roberts, 23, and Blair Fisher, 52, will put all of those qualities and their bodies to the test through a day of rigourous competition this Saturday, Sept. 8 in Kamloops vying for the title of Kamloops’ Strongest Man. Fisher, a Canadian powerlifting record holder, and Roberts just began training in the sport two months ago and will be up against 20 to 30 strongmen from around the province — some who’ve been training and competing for years. “We’ve been training specifically for strongman for about two months,” Roberts said.
“My trainer [Fisher] has done lots of powerlifting so I’ve teamed up with him to do this. I really wanted to do strongman and he’s kind of taken that route with me.” Events the duo will compete at include atlas stone lift, car deadlift, truck pull, tire flipping, static holds, yolk walk, overhead press and toting heavy objects. Both Roberts and Fisher will be competing in the super heavyweight division, facing off against some individuals who will be upwards of 300 pounds. “We’re expecting a lot of usuals,” Roberts said. “A lot of guys have been training for years so we’re expecting it to be pretty tough but we’re hoping for it to be a good learning process. This is our first one. It’s nerve racking but it’s going to be good.” Should this Saturday
be fun and enjoyable for the duo they plan to continue competing in strongman competitions around the province and, hopefully, grow interest locally in the sport. “We want to get the word out that here in Williams Lake we want people to know about strongman,” he said. “Who knows? It could possibly interest some people to try it out.” The sport, which has increased in popular-
ity drastically over the past decade, now has a world-renowned club within the province, the B.C. Strongman Federation, Roberts said. “They keep getting more and more people each year and more and more sponsors,” he said. “They’re based out of Kamloops and host a lot of competitions around the province.” The event runs at McDonald Park from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dirty Knobby goes Saturday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer With a new date, new location and a revised format, Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association vice-president Sasha Kokesch hopes this year’s Dirty Knobby family fun race and Overlander Cross Country Race are bigger than ever. “It [the Dirty Knobby] will be open to all ages and skill levels, with more fun and activities planned than ever before,” Kokesch said, noting there are trails tailored to all skill levels of riders. The Dirty Knobby, normally held in May, was moved this year to September to coincide with the Overlander Cross Country Race to help streamline the work that goes into hosting both events. Kokesch said the Dirty Knobby caters to all age groups and includes a motorcycle riding and maintenance clinic for kids, a poker ride for riders of all ages and experience, lunch and a prize giveaway. The Overlander Cross
Country race is part of the Pacific North West Motocross Association’s (PNWMA) Off Road Racing Series. It will feature riders from around the province, and is a sanctioned event. “We welcome all local riders to come on out,” Kokesch said. “There will be a separate course for sportsman, and the peewees get their own course, too. The sanctioned race has classes for everyone as follows: women, sportsman, peewee, masters, expert, veteran expert 30-39, intermediate, senior expert 40-49, super senior 50-plus, veteran amateur 30-39, senior amateur 40-49, junior over 16-plus and junior under 15. Saturday’s Dirty Knobby kicks off with signup from 9 to 10 a.m., followed by a riders meeting at 10:30 a.m. At 11 a.m. the poker run is scheduled to get underway. Trophy presentations go at 2:30 p.m. Sunday’s Overlander Cross Country Race starts at 8:30 a.m. with registration followed by a 10 a.m. riders meeting.

Horsefly River Salmon Festival well attended Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune The Horsefly River Salmon Festival was another resounding success last weekend in Horsefly. This turned out to be a multifaceted affair, with three things going on at the same time, and people scattered from one end of the salmon trail to the other and points in between. All day Friday starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. Steve Hocquard and Ernie Gruhs were laying down and power washing clean a seven-foot wide by 120-foot long conveyor belt donated by Gibraltar Mines at McLeese Lake and transported to the Horsefly River by Geoff Patenaude. This is just up from the Horsefly Bridge and makes it possible for a person in a wheelchair to actually fly fish at a very good fishing spot on the river. I know because I caught trout there 60 years ago, and it is still a good spot. Just keep in mind that you need to purchase a classified waters licence in addition to your regular fishing license. The belting is kind of rough because it is laid down on undisturbed gravel, so it would be advisable to have a companion with you if you are disabled. I thank everyone concerned on behalf of disabled fishers. This would include the Cariboo Regional District, Steve Hocquard, Ernie Gruhs, Geoff Patenaude, Gary Clarke, and the Horsefly River Roundtable. I fully intend to check it out on my first opportunity. Friday night’s square dance was a sparsely attended affair, probably due to the inclement weather and the fact it usually took place on Saturday night. However, the music was excellent and made up for the lack of people. Despite nine to 10 C weather and rain, Saturday was a very well attended festival with more than 300 people estimated to have attended. The Northern Shuswap Tribal Council Fisheries had a booth managed by Andrew Meshue, Sarah Hood, and Kevin Tenale, and free packages of dried fish were handed out for the uninitiated like me to try. I found that between chewing and letting it soak in my mouth, eventually I could break it down and eat it. Although I was not overwhelmed, I could see how back in the day this would be an invaluable way to preserve excellent protein for both man and beast. When I arrived home, both dogs and our cat were all over me looking for that wonderful scent they smelled. This would probably not

be the best thing to take along on a grizzly hunt. Cody Williams had a booth where he was kept busy serving bannock from the time he opened until he closed both Saturday and Sunday. There was always a line up. Brandi Ranger had a coffee wagon, which was another invaluable service in the cold weather. Judy Hillaby and Roy Argue from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans did dissections and explanations for the public on Saturday. Argue also helped with the Gyotaku preparation. Ranger and Maureen LeBourdais were the Gyotaku teachers, and some absolutely fantastic paintings were produced over the two days. Maureen Chappell had some unique kids’ art she was teaching and again some remarkable art was produced. Lorne Sherlock was there from the Fish Lake Alliance passing out information for those who were interested. Lisa Bland had a booth for the Haida Gwaii and was passing out herring roe on kelp, which I found to be excellent (a little like oyster flavour).
I used to fry it in a little soya sauce when I fished herring, and it is another excellent food source. Last but certainly not least, Sue Hemphill was there for both days with some fantastic invertebrates from the rivers and creeks in the area. Cad flies, stone flies, Mayflies, river worms, all in different stages of development were in her small tank. Sue is a knowledgeable teacher, and her area was another kid’s favourite, and if you are a fly tier this was the place to learn what you want to duplicate. Sunday dawned and it was at least five degrees warmer than Saturday, with some sunny periods. It was a much nicer day than the previous one. With only the absence of Roy Argue, the same volunteers who participated on Saturday were all there for another day of volunteerism and education. The crowds seemed somewhat more sparse than the previous day, but when I went along the salmon trail looking for the Horsefly Seniors and Wellness Society’s’ Salm-
on Egg Race, I ran into many folk simply exploring the different mini paradises along the trail, so the trail is serving its purpose in providing education opportunities for young and old alike. A crowd of at least 50 souls indicated I had found the salmon egg race location, and not a moment too soon. Clarence Hooker and his sisterin-law Darlene Hooker were about to dump the Styrofoam eggs into the channel; 700 eggs went in the water and people immediately began to search out their numbers, which were difficult to distinguish at best. The static from being stored together held them together in clumps despite the corn starch which was liberally sprinkled into the garbage bags where they had been kept. Immediately the chase along the channel began until finally we came to the barrier and the egg catchers situated downstream. Young volunteers Tyler Phillip, Debra Beckstead, and Billy Alcock under the tutelage of SAWS member Bob Johnson were in the water with nets to gather up the eggs as they came all too quickly downstream. Once the first three eggs to arrive were ascertained, organized mayhem ensued as most of the eggs arrived within the first two minutes or so. No eggs escaped to freedom and Quesnel Lake was spared from the danger of Styrofoam salmon hatching in the near future. The main organizers of the egg race, Clarence Hooker, Jim Johnston and Bob Johnson, are to be congratulated for a job well done. Meanwhile, back along the salmon walk, Lou and Jack Biggs were busy cooking hamburgers and hot dogs for the hungry egg racers. The SAWS organization is to be congratulated on an excellent community event, and hopefully this will become an annual event for the salmon festival. Back at the festival site by the bridge, things were going on much the same as on Saturday, with new faces learning exciting new bits of knowledge to be stored away for the future decisions that will come up in their lives. Despite the lack of salmon, the festival serves a very real purpose in the telling of the sockeye salmon history and bringing awareness to young and old alike of our fragile ecosystem and the impact we as humans have on it. All in all the festival was a resounding success. Next year we have hopes for a pow wow, and it will be the dominant year, so we may even have some sockeye present. There is some talk of cutting back to only one day, and having the festival a week or so later when the fish start moving in. Stay tuned for next Labour Day.

The Lady, first film club offering Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune Yes, it is time for the Williams Lake Film Club to start its next season. We will present our first film next Tuesday, Sept. 11, at the Gibraltar Room at 7 p.m. Back doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Admission will be $9 regular, $8 for members, and $6 for seniors, elders, and students. No changes there. And all proceeds will once again go to support the LDA to help students with learning disabilities right here in our community. Last season we were able to raise $4,000 for this purpose. Thank you all! We start our season with a great film, The Lady. This is the extraordinary story of Aung San Suu Kyi from Burma, who stood up to the military, to the government, to fight for democracy for her country. She was condemned to 15 years of house arrest for her conviction, not able to see her husband, not able to see her two growing sons who were all living in Eng-
The Lady tells the story of Aung San Suu Kyi. land. It is a story of distance, long separations, a dangerously hostile regime, of devotion and human understanding set against a backdrop of political turmoil that continues today. It is a story that will touch your heart, that will make you ask yourself — how far would you go for your true convictions? And most of all, it is a true story, unfolding right before our eyes still today. The film begins with a
flashback to 1947 when her father Aung San, a revolutionary general regarded as the father of modern Burma, says a tender goodbye to the two-year-old Suu in the garden of the grand family water-side mansion before he is driven off to work — where he is shot dead. So begins a film that’s part history lesson, part admiring profile. Then, jumping forward to 1988 and 1989, it quickly establishes the brutal nature of the military dictatorship crushing human rights in Burma. Anyone who keeps up with world affairs would be aware of the big picture, but director Luc Besson shows us some of the detail — where the devil definitely lives. But what the film does best is what writer Rebecca Frayn and director Luc Besson seem to have set out to do, namely to explore the
extraordinary bonds of the family relationships that endure through extended separation and intense pressure. David Thewlis gives husband Michael Aris a palpable sense of resilience as he provides full moral support to his wife, and sharing her dream of a democratic Burma. When he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, his burdens magnify. The repeated crackdowns by the generals and their determination to crush the movement Suu inspires is effectively shown. When Michael triggers a move to recognize his Suu with a Nobel Peace Prize, it is as much a political maneuver as an act of loving support. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. Her husband and her two sons went to Sweden to receive the prize. Aung Sn Suu Kyi was finally released from
house arrest on the evening of Nov. 13, 2010 and on June 16, 2012. Aung San Suu Kyi was finally able to deliver her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in person at Oslo’s City Hall, two decades after being awarded this honour. This is a film for thinking people, not for action fans. The Lady is recommended for anyone interested in how a lone woman can alter history with a strict code of antiviolence — as did moral giants such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela among others. It’s inspirational and reassuring: humans can redeem themselves and dictators shall perish. It is a film that will stay with you for a long time …. See you next Tuesday — and remember, memberships will be available at the door, $10 per person.

MORTGAGE MESSAGE Maximum Mortgage Amount Q: What’s the maximum mortgage amount for which I can qualify? To determine the amount for which you will qualify, there are two calculations you’ll need to complete. The first is your Gross Debt Service (GDS) ratio. GDS looks at your proposed new housing costs (mortgage payments, taxes, heating costs and 50% of strata/condo fees, if applicable). Generally speaking, this amount should be no more than 32% of your gross monthly income. For example, if your gross monthly income is $4,000, you should not be spending more than $1,280 in monthly housing expenses.
d ente pres by

PRESENTS
Second, you will need to calculate your Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio. The TDS ratio measures your total debt obligations (including housing costs, loans, car payments and credit card bills). Generally speaking, your TDS ratio should be no more than 40% of your gross monthly income.

Keep in mind that these numbers are prescribed maximums and that you should strive for lower ratios for a more affordable lifestyle. Before falling in love with a potential new home, you may want to obtain a pre-approved mortgage. This will help you stay within your price range and spend your time looking at homes you can reasonably afford. Talk to your mortgage broker for more information on these ratios and on what you can qualify for.

Big bird action at Scout Island Jenny Noble Special to The Tribune Our resident birds have provided a lot of excitement over the summer. Observers have watched both LongEared Owls (seven babies) and Ospreys raise chicks from fuzzy little wads to novice flyers. Our nestcam recorded tree swallows building their nest, laying and hatching eggs, feeding babies (a lot!) until they grew so big that the nest box seemed ready to burst. Once they found their wings, they never came back and that was the end of our spying. We’re really grateful to BC Hydro for the Osprey platform they provided last year. They noticed some adult Ospreys checking out power poles across the channel, and that can be

fatal if the birds fly into power lines. Hydro workers installed orange fibreglass triangles atop poles on the RC Cotton site to deter the Ospreys from unsafe perches. On the Scout Island side (beside the wheelchair-accessible But-
terfly Trail) they then erected a very tall pole (typically six metres higher than any energized lines), topped by a four-feet-by-six-feetby-1.5-inch yellow cedar platform sitting on seven-foot crossarms held up with compression braces. They even placed sticks on the platform to attract the birds’ attention. It was too late for breeding last year, but some adult birds did investigate — a worthwhile investment by our public utility. We were thrilled this spring to see three adults adding sticks to the nest and appearing to “flirt.” By mid-May they had built a recognizable nest and housekeeping seemed to be underway. Summer staffer Kiera Dolighan committed to recording daily observations of their activity
as her research project, and her data show that the nest and platform were successful. On June 4 she noted: “Female continues moving and resettling into nest while looking down. Possible incubation?” She first saw the chicks on July 5, a very hot day. The female seemed to be shading them from the sun. She saw two well-feathered chicks perched on the edge of the nest in mid-July. By mid-August they were stretching out their wings and seeming to levitate on gusts of wind. The parents would feed them a few bites of fish then take the rest to a nearby perch, perhaps trying to lure them into attempting flight. What a moment that would be in the life of a fledgling! What a leap
of faith to lift off from the nest for the first time, so high above the ground. On Kiera’s last day of work, Aug 23, one chick was seen perched on a telephone pole. We’re glad she got to witness that before she had to leave for school. We were sorry to say goodbye to Kiera and her fellow summer staffers, Laura Ulrich, Caitlyn Langford and Kacie Young. They have returned to their universities now, and we wish them all the best as they pursue their science studies. Most of Kiera’s observations were made through the viewing scope, set up on the roof of the Nature House. You are welcome to go up there during open hours (typically 1-4 p.m. on weekends) and have a look for yourself.

Workshop addresses compassion fatigue Central Cariboo Hospice Society is presenting a workshop on Sept. 18 with Jan Spilman, MEd, a B.C. registered clinical counsellor and specialist on compassion fatigue and chronic sorrow. With a 10-year background in critical care nursing and 20 years as a trauma and loss therapist and workshop facilitator in private practice, Spilman now focuses exclusively on teaching workshops that support, renew and inspire wellness in helping professionals, volunteers and family caregivers. Her goal is to support the simple but profound life changes that build resilience to compassion fatigue (the natural exhaustion, traumatic stress and diminished capacity for empathy that can accompany working with the suffering or traumatized) and chronic sorrow (the very normal and continuing grief response to living with a loved one’s permanent illness or impairment). As a helping professional who has experienced compassion fatigue and as a family caregiver who has lived through chronic sorrow, Spilman speaks with authenticity and a depth of understanding. In 1997, her husband was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy and she was his primary caregiver until his death from heart failure in 2004. Spilman earned a nursing diploma from St. Paul’s Hospital School of Nursing, Vancouver, in 1972 and she received an individual Masters degree in Mental Health Education, with a Certificate in Addiction Studies from Simon Fraser University and Seattle University in 1989. She later received a certifi-

cate in Psychoanalytic Scholarship from the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study in Seattle, WA. Her graduate work focused on the role of education in trauma resolution. Some warning signs of compassion fatigue and chronic sorrow include feeling helpless and hopeless, the sense that one can never do enough, the inability to listen to others’ pain, dissociative moments,
survivor guilt, fear, anger and cynicism, profound sadness, emotional numbing and self-medicating behaviours. This workshop will use mini-addresses, film, individual exercises and group discussion to help participants recognize their current level of compassion fatigue/chronic sorrow and to begin a personalized resiliency plan to guide their process

“They call the Cariboo home” Williams Lake just the right size for Goward family Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer For Ivan and Monique Goward Williams Lake is just the right size for themselves and their family. “We just love the place,” says Monique. “It is a great place to raise kids. You can have the country and still go to a Studio Theatre play or the Gibraltar Room to watch a musical performance.” She says they also like the fact that the Williams Lake economy always seems to remain steady with economic ebbs and flows rather than booms and busts, primarily because the community has a diverse economy supported by ranching, forestry, mining, tourism, support services, etc. It’s also just big enough to maintain some privacy and small enough so that you often meet someone you know on the street. Monique (nee LeBlanc) was born in 100 Mile House and came to Williams Lake with her family in 1977 as a young girl. Her parents Jeannine and Phil LeBlanc met in Maillardville in the Lower Mainland. The LeBlancs married in 1953 and moved to Lone Butte where Phil was working in a sawmill owned by his brother-in-law. During the mid-1950s they moved the mill to Knife Creek. They stayed at Knife Creek for a year then moved a little cabin from Knife Creek to Lac La Hache on a flatbed truck. In Lac La Hache they added on to the cabin as their family grew. Phil started Little Frog Logging in Lac La Hache and as the company grew the family moved to Williams Lake where he sold timber to Weldwood.
Monique is the youngest of five children who all continue to make their homes in the Williams Lake area. Elder brother Donald bought out Little Frog Logging Company when their father retired. By then they were the number one seniority logging contractor at Weldwood. Brother Lawrence bought the contract from Donald, naming his company Lamar Logging. About a year ago brother Donald bought the contract back and changed the name back to the original Little Frog Logging. Brother Leonard went into ranching, served with the RCMP, and is now a top international team-roper who spends winters in Arizona and summers in the Cariboo. One of the saddles he won is now at the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin. Sister Julie Pinette lives with her family in Williams Lake and works as a portfolio administrator with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources. Monique graduated from Columneetza Secondary School in 1985 and went to live in her grandfather’s house in Maillardville to take the two-year Community Social Service Worker program at Douglas College in New Westminster. She then returned to Williams Lake in 1987 and became a youth outreach worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association. In 1988 she met her soonto-be-husband Ivan Goward, who came to Williams Lake from the Okanagan to complete his apprenticeship as a heavy duty mechanic with the Ministry of Highways. Ivan earned his journeymen papers just as highway maintenance was turned over to private company Cariboo Road Services.
Gaeil Farrar photo
Pictured enjoying an outing at Scout Island are four generations of the Goward family during a spring visit: Danielle (left), Brian and Jill Goward of Sorrento, Ivan, Peggy Ashton of Sorrento, Monique and Sydney. Ivan was offered a job in Bella Coola so the young couple headed west where Ivan worked as supervisor of Tweedsmuir Services providing maintenance and repair for automobiles and heavy equipment and Monique became a child care worker at the school in Hagensborg. The couple lived in Bella Coola for three-and-a-half years then returned to Williams Lake on Halloween 1993 where Ivan went back to school to earn his welder/ pipe-fitter ticket. Monique was pregnant with their first child and they bought the house on Hodgson Road from her parents where she was raised. “I raised my kids in the house where I spent my memorable youth,” Monique says. Growing up she says Williams Lake wasn’t as developed as it is today. Their playground was all the way from the west side of the city to the Fraser River. As kids she says they would spend
whole days exploring trails on horseback, or by snowmobile, motorcycle, quad or four-by-four trucks. Ivan has the skills which are highly prized in a resource community such as Williams Lake and has supported the family, as many locals do, through a combination of self-employment and working for others. After earning his welder/ pipe-fitter ticket he worked as a welder and heavy-duty mechanic for a private logging company for a few years. Then he bought his own logging truck and hired a driver. Soon after he established his own mobile service company. After that he was offered and accepted the job of service manager for Inland Kenworth. After six years with Inland Kenworth he returned to school in 2008 to become a welding/heavy duty mechanic instructor with Thompson Rivers University’s continuing studies program. The job didn’t provide

enough full-time hours so Ivan filled out his work week doing home renovations. This past January Ivan returned to work as a heavy duty mechanic with Hytest Timber. While their daughters, Danielle, 18, and Sydney, 16, were young, Monique kept the books for their companies and did other odd jobs. In 2007, with their daughters in high school, Monique returned to work full time, first to help out friends at Grosso Pre-Cast for a year, then as an assistant social worker with the Ministry of Children and Families. For the past four years she has worked as an addictions/ mental health worker with the Cariboo Friendship Society. Daughter Danielle graduated from Columneetza in June and is just starting her first year at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake with the goal of becoming a registered nurse. During high school she volunteered as a peer tutor, mentor for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program, helped out with the Catholic Women’s League catering service and cooking at the Stampede concession. She also played high school soccer and community rep soccer. Daughter Sydney is starting Grade 11 at Columneetza and for the last few years has competed with the high school rodeo club. Monique says her brother Leonard bought her her first horse when she was age four and she sold her last horse when she was eight months pregnant with Sydney. Despite not having a horse of her own, Sydney developed a love for riding and rodeo on outings with her friend Chantelle Rolph,
grand-daughter of ranchers Bruce and Lonnie Rolph. When Monique’s brother Leonard learned of Sydney’s interest in riding he arranged for her to practice team roping with him at Doug White’s riding arena. In 2011 Leonard took ninth place in his division at the world series team roping championships in Las Vegas with Chance Whitworth. For the past two years, Sydney has raised her own money, doing chores, baby sitting, pet sitting, and chain filing for Little Frog Logging to raise the money for the plane fare to Arizona during spring breaks to compete in team roping events with her uncle Leonard. This last spring they won team buckles for placing 13th in their division. More than 398 teams compete in the Arizona team roping events. Together the whole family enjoys the outdoor sports living the Cariboo has to offer including skating, downhill skiing, boating and water sports, snowmobiling and quading. Monique and Sydney also hunt deer together for the freezer on occasion. Volunteering for Stampede evolved naturally with the family’s involvement in the sport of rodeo. For the last four years all four family members have been avid volunteers at the Williams Lake Stampede. Ivan and Danielle cook at the concession. Monique started out in the grandstands and now works in the beer gardens. Sydney helps out behind the chutes warming up horses and moving stock. “We like to support the community and the Stampede, which brings so much awareness and revenue to our community,” Monique says.
