RCMP seek help identifying robbers
One Highway of Tears murder solved
The Williams Lake and District Crime stoppers are still requesting the public’s assistance identifying the subjects involved in an armed robbery at the Williams Lake Bank of Commerce which occurred at about 2:30 a.m. on May 6, 2012. The victims were at the cash machine in the bank lobby when two subjects came up behind them, physically assaulted one of the subjects and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from them. Robbers were described as non-white and wearing dark grey bandanas and dark clothing. One subject was approximately 5’7”, and the other considerably taller. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Williams Lake RCMP at 250392-6211. Crime Stoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestoppers.com.
Deceased U.S. prison inmate Bobby Jack Fowler has been named the murderer of 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen — one of the 18 women in the Highway of Tears cases. Colleen, who lived with her family near Lac La Hache, disappeared in 1974 while hitchhiking on Highway 97 near Lac La Hache on her way to a friend’s house on Timothy Lake Road. “She was last seen about 8 p.m. on Aug. 9 and reported missing on Aug. 11 when it was realized she had not reached her destination,” the Tribune reported on Sept. 5, 1974. An American tourist, upon finding her clothing intact at 102 Mile House, reported the findings to the 100 Mile House RCMP. Her body was later found beside a logging road off Davis Lake Road, 46 kilometres south of where she was last seen. Investigators from the RCMP’s Project E-PANA, which is investigating the Highway of Tears murders, held a press conference Tuesday to announce their findings that Fowler, who died in an Oregon prison in 2006 of natural causes, was Colleen’s murderer. Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP Major Crime, Special Projects Unit, said: “In June of 2007, E-PANA investigators re-submitted exhibits from Colleen’s case to the RCMP Vancouver Forensic Lab for DNA analysis. A DNA profile of an unknown male was identified from Colleen’s case. It was submitted to the National Crime Scene Databank. There was no match. “In 2012 with the advances in DNA technology, E-PANA investigators requested a re-examination of the profile. That resulted in a higher quality sample being developed which allowed it to be submitted to INTERPOL that includes access to foreign DNA databases.” On May 3, 2012, the Oregon Department of State - Police Forensic Laboratory obtained a CODIS DNA match. The match was to Fowler. “Based on what E-PANA investigators know today, Fowler is responsible for the murder of 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen,” Shinkaruk said. Colleen was the daughter of Shir-

In 1974, 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen (left) from Lac La Hache went missing while hitchhiking to a friend’s house. Her body was later discovered beside a logging road. On Tuesday, police identified her killer as deceased U.S. prison inmate Bobby Jack Fowler (right). ley and A.V. MacMillen. Colleen’s father used to be the principal at Columneetza high school between
1966 and 1972. At the press conference Colleen’s brother Shawn MacMillen described Colleen as

an innocent and sweet kid, and said the family was stunned and grateful for the news. “It’s been a long wait for answers,” he said, adding it’s an unsatisfactory result because the individual won’t stand trial, but the family is comforted by the fact Fowler died in jail and could not hurt anyone else. He said the MacMillens’ thoughts go out to the remaining families whose daughters were victims. Project E-PANA is comprised of 18 cases involving 13 homicides and five missing women investigations ranging from 1969 to 2006 and involve women and girls who were involved in activity like hitchhiking and were last seen or found within a mile of Highway 16, Highway 97, or Highway 5. Fowler has been eliminated as a suspect in eight of the E-PANA files. However, he remains a person of interest in the remaining cases, including 19-year-old Gale Weys, who was last seen hitchhiking from Clearwater, B.C. on Oct. 16, 1973 and was found murdered six months later; and 19-year-old Kamloops resident Pamela Darlington, who was murdered and found in Pioneer Park on Nov. 7, 1973.

Fowler suspected in other murders Continued From Page A1 “These are just two of the cases we are looking for connections to but we are fully open to the possibility that Fowler committed other violent offences against women that may or may not have been reported to police,” Shinkaruk said. The RCMP didn’t say whether there may be link between Fowler and the murder of Bella Coola resident Gloria Levina Moody, 27 — whose body was found on Oct. 19, 1969 by some hunters on a road about two kilometres off the highway west of Williams Lake. At the time, Sgt. William Pooler, in charge of the Williams Lake detachment, described her murder as brutal and vicious. Moody is, however, among the cases being investigated by E-PANA. Shinkaruk said Fowler has an extensive violent and criminal history with convictions in several U.S. states for crimes including attempted murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, sexual assault, arson, kidnapping, attempting sexual assault and firearm offences. Investigators have spoken to several of his living victims who through “extremely disturbing testimony” have said

Five SD 27 schools proposed for closure Two-campus, grades 7 to 12 secondary school suggested for Williams Lake Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Glendale, Kwaleen, and Wildwood elementary schools would be closed and Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools would become one grades 7 to 12 secondary school on two campuses if the new Initial Options Report proposed by the School District 27 board is implemented. Other schools in the district that could close include 100 Mile secondary and Buffalo Creek elementary. The restructuring plan was delivered in a PowerPoint presentation by Superintendent Mark Thiessen at a special open board meeting held at the board office in Williams Lake Tuesday evening. Close to 70 people crammed into the meeting hall, some taking seats on the stairs, to hear the board’s proposal for dealing with financial difficulties facing the district. Chair Will Van Osch made it clear that no decisions on the proposals will be made until after
the 90-day consultation period, which will include public meetings and direct consultation with impacted stakeholders. If approved, the plan or board-approved parts of the plan would be implemented in September 2013. Secretary-Treasurer Bonnie Roller explained that the district incurred a $900,000 structural deficit for the 2010-2011 school year, which translates into a $1.8 million deficit for the 2012-2013 school year and will amount to a $2.7 million structural deficit for the 2013-2014 school year if not dealt with. The structural deficit will continue to grow as the Ministry of Education begins to follow through on its plan to remove funding protection for the district at a rate of 1.5 per cent of the district’s total budget per year. The funding protection has helped the district deal with steadily falling enrollment since 1996 which has left many schools in the district underutilized. The proposal sees

Close to 70 people crammed into the School District 27 board office in Williams Lake Tuesday evening to hear the board’s plans for creating more efficiencies in district operations while preserving educational opportunities for students. Glendale’s English track students moving to Cataline elementary and Glendale’s French Immersion students moving to Nesika elementary. Wildwood’s kindergarten to Grade 3 students would move to Cataline elementary. Students in the Kwaleen catchment area would move to Chilcotin Road elementary, with out-of-catchment students returning to their home school or other schools of choice. The traditional school
model now at Kwaleen elementary and the yearround school model now at Glendale elementary would both be discontinued under the plan. After the meeting district Parent Advisory Council president Rhonda McCreight expressed concern about losing the traditional school and year-round school options for students and parents. The report says the district intends to engage an external facilitator to co-ordinate restructuring
of Williams Lake and Columneetza secondary schools into a new grades 7 to 12 school with two campuses. The Grade 7s could also be located in one of the schools as a “pod” and could be afforded explorations opportunities in specialty spaces, the report states. There are no immediate plans for changes at Likely, Big Lake and Horsefly schools east of Williams Lake. The board continues to support the provi-
sion of kindergarten to Grade 10 schooling in communities west of the Fraser River, but Chilcotin (Zone 7) area trustee Joyce Cooper pointed out that doesn’t mean people in these communities won’t be affected by the proposed changes. She encouraged people to participate in the public consultation process. In the south end of the district the proposal is to reconfigure all elementary schools in the area into kindergarten to Grade 8 elementary schools and make Peter Skene Ogden Senior Secondary into a grades 9 to 12 secondary school. 100 Mile House Junior Secondary would be closed and the land and buildings sold. Buffalo Creek Elementary School would also be closed and students there moved to Forest Grove elementary. The standard school of choice application process continues to apply in the district. Copies of the report were handed out after the initial presentation
Tuesday and the public was invited to ask questions of clarification only. Public input will be received at upcoming public meetings and online through the district’s website. The first public meeting will be at Williams Lake Secondary School in Williams Lake on Tuesday, Oct. 2 starting at 6:30 p.m. Meetings with teaching and support staff are scheduled for earlier in the day. In one part of the report the board states: “This report is intended to inform and to elicit response and discussion regarding the value of these proposed changes. The options herein are well researched and supported by sound fiscal management principles, but are not yet cast in stone.” The report is posted on the School District 27 website for the public to view. The board is expected to wrap up the public and stakeholder consultation process and prepare a report by midDecember and make decisions on the plan by the end of January.
CRD fringe fire referendum slated for Nov. 24 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Regional District residents in the fringe areas of Williams Lake will head to the polls on Saturday, Nov. 24 to decide their future fire protection services. Residents within electoral areas D, E and F will participate in two separate referendums. A CRD press release says that based on the results of the survey that was distributed at
the CRD Fire Protection meeting on Sept. 12, residents of areas D and E and a portion of the fringe area of Electoral Area F will decide if they wish to continue having their service provided by the City of Williams Lake Volunteer Fire Department. If this referendum is successful, affected residents would pay up to $140 per $100,000 of residential assessment. If the vote is defeated, residents will
no longer have fire protection effective Jan. 1, 2013. For residents in portions of Area F, who lived within the 13-kilometre service area of the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department, the referendum question will ask if residents wish to have their service provided by the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department. If this referendum is successful, affected residents would pay
approximately $68 per $100,000 of residential assessment. Again, if this vote is defeated, residents within this fire protection boundary will no longer have fire protection effective Jan. 1, 2013. Area F Director Joan Sorley says while lots of people filled out the surveys for Area E and Area D, not too many from Area F did. “We only got 15 responses from Area F on the surveys so that’s not
conclusive, and it was pretty much half and half,” Sorley said. “I don’t know why. I did get quite a few phone calls and e-mails and have enough information about the fire department at 150 Mile.” Both 150 Mile House and Wildwood fire departments are certified and train to the same standards as the Williams Lake Fire Department, she added. “We really have to get the word out about
the referendum. People think they have a choice of what service to go to, but that’s not the question. We’re asking them yes or no if they want fire protection. The directors have made the decision as to what their choice is. There are people in Area F that are further than 13 km from 150 Mile hall so their question will be to do with Williams Lake. They still have the opportunity to have fire pro-
tection from Williams Lake.” Anyone with questions about the referendum can contact the following: Area D – Alternate Director G. W. (Bill) Carruthers at 250-392-6763 or bcarruthers@caribouroads. com; Area E – Director Byron Kemp at 250392-5037 or bkemp@ cariboord.bc.ca; or Area F – Director Joan Sorley at 250- 2432261 or jsorley@cariboord.bc.ca.

Taseko wins mine reclamation award Taseko Mines’ Gibraltar Mine has received a Metal Mine Reclamation award from the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation. A press release says that at TRCR’s 36th annual B.C. Mine Reclamation Awards in Kamloops, Gibraltar was recognized for its largescale reclamation projects and progressive reclamation research trials. Projects included a joint a initiative with the Ministry of Forests
for a pine tree establishment research program, research using biosolids from Metro Vancouver, and wood chips to reclaim the tailings areas, and the establishment of pilot wetland to monitor the capabilities in treating tailings. “Gibraltar Mine was recognized for demonstrating a forwardlooking approach to reclamation that will set the stage for future reclamation successes,” says Kim Bellafontaine of the Ministry of Energy and
Mines, in the release. “They were commended for the work being done to review previous reclamation efforts, as well as for initiating large-scale trials to assess innovation methods for reclaiming large areas of the sand dam and waste rock dumps.” Russell Hallbaur, president and CEO of Taseko, says a proactive approach to reclamation is a focus at Gibraltar. “This award demonstrates the ongoing efforts of our environmen-
tal team and illustrates our company’s dedication to responsible mining,” Hallbaur says. “We would like to also recognize the local Xat’sull First Nations reclamation crew for their work on many of these projects. Their participation helped contribute to the success of Gibraltar’s reclamation program.” The British Columbia TRCR is a committee of individuals from mining corporations, associations, and government,

ictoria has been a great city to host the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. On Monday, I attended a B.C. Mayors’ Caucus meeting, where 140 mayors discussed challenges and opportunities in B.C. municipalities. W e From the agreed Mayor’s t h a t Chair longterm, staKerry Cook ble, and predictable funding from senior governments is necessary going forward, so cities and towns can maintain infrastructure and accommodate growth. The mayors shared ideas on how to provide stable service levels to residents, and we heard encouraging words from Minister of Community, Sport, and Community Development Bill Bennett. He said he would like to see a closer relationship between the federal and provincial governments and municipalities. On Tuesday, council had a very productive meeting with Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond. She recognized the past work the RCMP and the city have done to reduce crime and took our requests seriously. We also met with the Interior Health Authority and Ministry of Health. I encourage everyone to make sure they have their say on the feasibility study being presented for possible renovations to the Sam Ketcham Pool, which are coming up next month. Whether you use the pool regularly or not, any possible renovations will have a significant impact on taxpayers. Please come to the open houses on Oct 11 at the Gibraltar Room or the public information sessions, learn about the options, and give your feedback. That is what will help guide decisions by the city and Cariboo Regional District’s concerning the pool and the complex. I’m looking forward to the rest of the week in the capital city. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.
Our Viewpoint
Help solve the unsolved Tuesday’s announcement from the RCMP that the murderer of 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen from Lac La Hache has been identified was a breakthrough in the Highway of Tears cases. The findings go to show that even though a case seems unsolvable — this one took 38 years as Colleen was killed in 1974 — there is always hope that answers will be found and that a case is never closed. The news that U.S. prisoner Bobby Jack Fowler’s DNA was found on Colleen’s body, linking him to her murder, is bittersweet, as Fowler died in prison in 2006 and can’t be made to face his crime. However, as Colleen’s brother Shawn MacMillen noted, at least Fowler was in prison after being convicted in 1996 of other violent crimes before his death in 2006 and couldn’t and can’t hurt anyone else again. We hope that the RCMP’s Project E-PANA — which is investigating the remaining Highway of Tears cases —
will continue to find more leads and solve more crimes, as there are still another 17 women and girls listed as either murdered or missing on the list. Their families and the rest of the public need to know what happened to them. There are several victims Fowler cannot be linked to, which means there is more than one person responsible for some of these losses, but Fowler could be linked to two others on the list, possibly more. We echo the RCMP’s plea to the public to look at the photos of Bobby Jack Fowler and think back. Did you see him somewhere? At a gas station? A bar? Did you socialize with him? Do you have any memories at all of him? Even the tiniest detail could help investigators piece together a time line of his whereabouts and find answers. Kudos to the investigators involved in determining Colleen’s killer. We offer them our support in solving the rest of the Highway of Tears’ tragic mysteries.

fter a few busy weeks in the constituency (during which I was able to address some pressing constituent concerns, tour the Likely and 150 Mile House areas, have meetings in Williams Lake, and attend a variety of functions and events), I hit the road last Thursday for Prince George, Vancouver, and Victoria. Last Thursday I attended MLA the CounMusings cil of Bob Simpson Forest Industries (COFI) dinner in Prince George, during which I was able to seek input and advice from a variety of people about how best to respond to the government’s handling of the Burns Lake timber supply issue. I continued that conversation with the Central Interior Logging Association the next morning before flying to Vancouver to attend a Green Jobs conference that was co-hosted by B.C.’s labour unions and environmental groups. At the COFI dinner a representative of the Business Council of B.C. gave a presentation on the joint initiative that they’re undertaking with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, dubbed the “B.C. Agenda for Shared Prosperity.� The union and environmental groups’ green jobs initiative is called “Good Jobs for a Green Future� and, like the business groups’ initiative, it’s an attempt to define what prosperity looks like through the lens of sustainability. It would be great if these two initiatives came together and business, labour, and the environmental and social advocacy groups could arrive at a consensus on what a true “shared prosperity� agenda looks like for B.C. That would go a long way to putting an end to the acrimony and divisiveness that has come to characterize BC’s political culture over the last few decades. This week I’m attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ annual general meeting in Victoria. I’ve had lots of good meetings with local government representatives, especially those concerned about the sorry state of our public forests and the failure of both the Liberals and the NDP to present a coherent agenda for revitalizing the forest sector and assisting forest-dependent communities through a difficult transition period.  Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

More Viewpoints Killing bears unacceptable Question of the week Editor: Re: Recent bear killings in Wildwood. The recent killing of a mother bear and her cubs in Wildwood has sickened me, moved others to tears, and outraged many. The stress, terror and suffering of these sentient creatures is inexcusable in 2012 and reflects primitive attitudes that have no place in a civilized society. This abuse of animals is a breach of public trust and the antithesis of conservation. It makes it very difficult for anyone who cares about wildlife to ever involve the local Conservation Office in any future wildlife/human interactions, knowing that doing so is likely to result in death for the animals. People should not be placed under such anguish and turmoil as exists
today because of the profoundly simplistic, unsophisticated approach to bear/human conflict. The needless destruction of life and biodiversity is out of step with “Beautiful, Natural British Columbia� and the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan, the product of years of work involving hundreds of people. That plan strives to respect all values, including wildlife. Killing animals on first encounters deprives those animals and their populations of the opportunity to learn the humanimposed rules. Hazed bears are people-smart bears that pass their knowledge to their offspring. The current “shoot-don’t-haze� policy perpetuates the very problem conservation staff should be solving. There is a better way. The “Get Bear Smart Society� website
holds information on non-lethal bear management techniques, including a decision matrix that allows for escalating response. The Whistler Bear Smart program has reduced bear killings by over 50 per cent despite a fourfold increase in bear/human interactions, averaging 6.5 for the last four years, including two in 2012. Nine years living in 150 Mile House tells me that the people of Williams Lake will find the current bear “management� approach wholly unacceptable. The Get Bear Smart Society has resources to help local people implement humane wildlife conflict resolution. I urge everyone who cares about wildlife to get involved and stop the unnecessary wildlife killings. Ray Zimmerman Kamloops

What do you think of one high school with two campuses for grades 7 to 12?

Grade 8s are teenagers, grade 7s are too young for high school.
Grade 7 is too young for high school.
Nyree Alexander Not happy about the option.
Education, not bullets, the solution Patrick Kniec Editor:  I love how conservation officers and their supervisors use the word “habituated� as an excuse to endlessly slaughter our urban wildlife. Conservation Officers are also very “habituated.� They are very habituated to taking the easy way out and killing the problem.  A dead problem is no problem. You realize, of course, that Len Butler and the Conservation Officer Service killed an innocent mother and her three babies. I am so tired of their disgusting
attitude and shooter mentality. When I see a bear or coyote on my property, my heart drops into the pit of my stomach as I realize, barring a miracle, that animal is dead. In many communities municipalities, along with their conservation officers, have adopted a “no-kill� policy and people have learned to take responsibility for the well-being of themselves, their children and pets. We can and do in many communities co-habit with urban wildlife. Conservation officers should not be hired killers but advocates
for both human and wildlife safety. This means continually educating the public. They should be putting posters up informing what wildlife has been spotted in the area, reminding people not to feed animals and to closely supervise children and pets and so on. This is a much more humane and compassionate exchange. Education not bullets. We have our lives to enjoy. We live here with other species. They also have a right to live.  Claudette Laffey Kamloops
Grade 7s will be OK because they will have friends in high school.
Ester Hill My son had to go to high school in grade 7 and he was OK.

Locals medal on world stage Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The father, son duo of Parnell Pinette and Conley Pinette may want to stock up on duct tape for next year’s water skiing season. After all, it helped Parnell win an overall bronze medal and Conley, 12, win an overall gold medal at the 2012 Pan Am Water Ski Championships. The Pinettes just wrapped up competition at the event in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. from Sept. 10-16, representing Team Canada against nine countries from North, Central and South America, along with some of the best 150 water skiers in the world. “I ended up tearing my binding as I was getting ready to go in the water [for the jump event] and panic mode set in,� Parnell said. “You only get three minutes and then you’re disqualified. The [Canadian] coach came over and we duct taped the boot on and I went out there and ended up setting a B.C. record. The coach offered to fix the binding because that jump qualified me for the final and I told him no way. “I said let’s duct tape it again. I went out there and broke the B.C. record again in the final and that ended up winning me the bronze medal. It
was the best I’ve ever jumped.� Conley, too, needed a hastily-performed duct tape job during one of his qualifying trick runs. “In his preliminary round to qualify for trick his buckle on his trick binding loosened on his first trick and he ended up being the lowest qualifier getting into the finals,� Parnell said. “We ended up doing a little bit of the duct tape on his binding and he set a huge personal best and that ended up helping him win the overall. “I think I’m going to have to be buying a lot of duct tape.� Conley, competing in the U13 division, achieved his personal best score in slalom, tied his personal best jump and his Canadian record at 117 feet for a silver medal and set a new personal best in trick with 4,760 points en route to the overall gold medal. Conley’s U13 team of four skiers also won a team silver in the overall team competition. “I was really happy,� Conley said. “I personal bested in almost everything and, for sure, this is one of my best events ever, definitely.� He said the highlight was competing and meeting people from around the world. “It was really cool,� he said. “I met some people from Mexico and met a

Cops for Cancer surpasses fundraising goals Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer After travelling through nine cities and cycling 850 kilometres, all safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson and Williams Lake RCMP Const. Chris Ives hope is they’ve helped make a difference. The two Williams Lake residents rode as part of a group of 18 riders in the Cops for Cancer Tour de North, which began Sept. 14 in Prince George and wrapped up seven days later in Prince Rupert. “We had a good ride,� said Ives, who completed his first Tour de North. “It was a little smaller group than is probably the norm, but we had a great time. The first two days I think were a little slow but, as a group, the last five days we gelled and supposedly were one of the faster groups in the last five years. It probably had something to do with the phenomenal weather we had.� Dickson, riding in his second year, and Ives said they estimate together

Riders on this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de North, including safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson and Williams Lake RCMP Const. Chris Ives, rode 850 kilometres from Prince George to Prince Rupert fundraising for cancer research. they raised close to $30,000 locally. They also figure, despite final totals not yet being tallied, this year’s Tour de North exceeded its goal of raising $260,000. “A huge, huge thanks from both Chris and I to the very kind donations that the many businesses and people made to the bike ride,� Dickson said. “We strongly believe we’ll exceed our goal of $260,000, which is delightful.�
SPORTS NOTEBOOK
Dickson said he dedicated his ride to 16-year-old Nick Paul, who was going to be the honourary rider, but passed away earlier this year after a long battle with leukemia. “It was with an extremely heavy heart that I rode,� Dickson said. “Nick and I had talked about it, and Jimmy [Paul] and Zena [Chelsea], Nick’s parent’s, and I had talked about it before he passed so it was planned, and I did it. I’ll do another
ride, too.� Ives said he and Dickson both trained extensively, riding a combined 4,723 kilometres before riding the Tour de North. Ives added it was completely worth it. “Having kids myself, it’s something I wouldn’t want to see happen to them and it’s just something where if I can help another family by putting myself through a few hours of exercise a day then so be it,� Ives said. “If we can raise some money to end cancer and this dreaded disease then why not?� Dickson added he plans to participate in the ride again next year. “It’s a wonderful cause,� Dickson said. “Next year the ride is the north, south route and the ride finishes and ends up in Williams Lake.� Donations to Cops for Cancer can still be made online at www.copsforcancer.ca/tourdenorth, at the local RCMP detachment, or at the Canadian Cancer Society office in Williams Lake at 176 Fourth Ave. North.

Tribune staff don jerseys for Sports Day It’s a fairly normal occurrence for offices to have a casual day on Friday where employees can come to work wearing some pretty comfortable attire. We here at the Tribune are taking it one step further this Friday when staff will be donning their favourite sports jersey or uniform as a way to celebrate the third annual Sports Day in Canada, which takes place Saturday, Sept. 29. The Tribune, along with many other Black Press newspaper offices, will collect $2 donations from employees wearing jerseys and will donate the funds to KidSport, which helps kids from low-income families participate in organized sports.

I thought that would be a good opportunity and they invited me back,� he said. McMath did admit that not only had he never been to Golden before, but he had never heard of Golden before

he said. “All of the team is close and people are nice. It is not busy. It is a calm place to be.� McMath has also had an easier time adjusting thanks to his billets. “My billets, Gino and Colleen Palumbo, are awesome,� he said. As the season moves forward, the 18-yearold player said, “I am super excited. The other blueliners have been saying it is quite a jump in speed and physicality between minor hockey and Junior B. I am expecting that, though.� The Rockets next home game will be Sept. 28 against the Kimberley Dynamiters.

Splash your partner and swing Mary Anne Turner Special to The Tribune In celebration of the wonderful summer weather that the Cariboo experienced this year, the William Lake Square Dancers did what they do best. They had fun dancing. It wasn’t your usual dancing, however. In August, they took to the waters of Felker Lake while attending a barbecue hosted by long-time square dancers Jo Anne and Bert Bibby. Local square dance caller Nick Turner put the dancers through their paces with some unusual calls such as Dive Through and Splash Your Partner. Much laughter ensued and Turner informed the dancers that they had fulfilled the qualifications for earning an AquaDuck Badge. Now that summer is over, the dancers are looking forward to the start of the new square dance season. The Williams Lake Square Dance Club has been offering fun and laughter to the community for 54 years and this year will be no exception. “New dancers are welcome; the more the merrier,� says club president Marie Gibbons. “No experience is needed and no special clothing. Just come out and meet new friends. Dance for fun and exercise.� The Williams Lake Square Dance Club will be offering nine sessions for new dancers, starting on Friday, Oct. 19, at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Fourth Avenue in Wil-

meeting Sept. 23 at 4 p.m. at the Cariboo Central Arts Centre. Anyone interested in promoting the arts in this community is encouraged to come out to a meeting. Jane Perry, at 250-392-3475, would be happy to give further information about this group. Lastly, the community would like to congratulate many musicians on completing written and practical music exams in the last year. Conservatory Canada Theory 6 was completed by Stephanie Carter.

Seniors’ Activity Centre back in full swing Win Gooding Special to The Tribune It is wonderful to have the beautiful warm sunny days in September. I hope everyone is enjoying them as much as I am. If October turns out to be the same, winter won’t seem so long. The Seniors’ Activity Centre is back in full swing again with all of the usual activities starting up with lunch during the week and bingo on Saturdays. The new windows
have been installed and look really good. The building will be a lot warmer in the winter and the heat bill will be considerably lower as well. Congratulations to the Senior Stitchers who won first prize for their beautiful quilt and to all the seniors who took first for their Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch 93 group entry. A very talented display of work to say the least. There seemed to be a lot more entries in the Harvest Fair in all cat-
egories this year, and it was really very enjoyable to view them all. The fall used winter clothing sale will be held at the Seniors’ Centre on Saturday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14. If you have any good used clothing to donate you can drop it off at the centre before that date. The potluck suppers will resume again on Sept. 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the centre.

Aviators and lofty views featured in new book After more than two years flying over the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast to capture breathtaking images, and months of interviewing, writing and editing, photographer Chris Harris and writer Sage Birchwater are set to launch their new book Flyover British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: An Aviation Legacy. As early as 2008, while touring for his books Spirit in the Grass and already shooting for Motherstone, Harris was approached by several pilots who offered to fly him if he ever wanted an opportunity to shoot from the air. Never having photographed extensively from the air, and never willing to miss an opportunity, he started to seriously entertain the possibility. Then Harris and his wife Rita Giesbrecht approached local author, journalist, historian and raconteur Sage Birchwater to collaborate on the project. For Harris, his beloved and familiar Cariboo Chilcotin Central Coast came to life to reveal forms of beauty that he had never imagined possible. As with astronauts seeing the planet from space, perspective wrought its magic, and a new visual world captured his artistic passion. “These are the images I am most excited to bring to an audience; a beauty undiscovered

To tell the pilots’ stories, Birchwater flew with Harris half a dozen times and interviewed dozens of people associated with the story of flight. Gradually the history of aviation started to emerge. He says the collection of stories and spectacular images are still only a snapshot of a much bigger story. “With this book we have opened the door a crack,” Birchwater says. “Through these pages you can gain a sense of the region’s wonder.” Flyover is the fourth in the Chris Harris and Country Light Publishing Legacy series, and 12th book overall.

over takes its place beside his other books: The Bowron Lakes; Spirit in the Grass; and Motherstone in being visually stunning and an object of beauty in its own right. Harris’s publications have at their core his concern to ignite a consciousness of stewardship, respect, and thanksgiving for our generous and sacred planet. In 2008 David Suzuki said of Spirit in
the Grass: “The stunning images in this book evoke wonder and awe, which are essential if we are to love and fight to protect such sacred places.” The official take-off will be this Saturday, Sept. 29 at 108 Mile Airport’s Airport Appreciation Day. It will be a day-long event, with Harris and Birchwater available to sign books. Then in the evening they will show the images
of Flyover through a multi-media slideshow, and share stories of their adventures. The presentation will take place in Nick Christianson’s hangar, starting at 7:30 p.m. The launch and slideshow will take place at three other communities in the region. On Wednesday, Oct 3 Harris and Birchwater will be at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre in Williams Lake, starting at 7 p.m. On Wednesday, Oct 10, they will be at Anahim Lake School, starting at 7 p.m., then the next day, Thursday, Oct. 11 they will be at the Moose Hall in Bella Coola, starting at 7:30 p.m. The hour-long presentation promises to leave the audience feeling they have been on a journey of adventure and discovery. The inspiration to create an aerial book of the region came from the aviators themselves. The Chris Harris Gallery is located on Back Valley Road in 105 Mile Ranch.

Anna Roberts hosts open studio show and sale this weekend
Stephen Walker photo
Anna Roberts with one of her pots.
After arriving in the Cariboo 54 years ago, Anna Roberts discovered that this area has many naturally occurring materials useful in pottery making. Over the years, as a recreation, Roberts has used local clays for making earthenware, as well as burnished ware. Her instruction has come from the numer-
ous workshops that have been brought here by the Cariboo Potters Guild. Roberts says that her work as a naturalist has influenced her use of natural forms, textures and colours in her pottery-making. Over the years her unique one-of -a-kind pieces have been inspired by small, beautiful forms such as dried seed pods.
These days she is inspired by wood. “Finding a piece of wood that has a pattern on it. That is my inspiration,” Roberts says. “Usually it’s rotting wood.” Once she has her inspirational piece she will try out a few shapes to see what suits the pattern best. “Most people make a
pot then put a design on it,” Roberts says. “I do it the other way around.” She says she tries to reflect the power and grace of form and design found in the natural world. She likes to leave the outside of her pots unglazed to show the interesting colour of local clays. To make burnished
Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast hosts house concert Folk-music aficionados in Williams Lake will soon be able to enjoy a series of six live house concerts with high-calibre Canadian and international performers. In conjunction with Home Routes, Steve Harkies and Emily Sonntag of Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast are turning their parlour into an intimate mini concert hall. They have committed to hosting six concerts a year, with three in the fall and three in the spring. “I first heard of them last winter,” Harkies says. “I thought not only was it a great way to help support professional musicians, but from a marketing perspective it was a fantastic opportunity to expand our local marketing initiatives, community involvement, supporting the arts, great social awareness ... “We’re very excited about it. We’re hoping they will turn into a series of fun and entertaining evenings with fantastic music, food and friends.” They will be playing host to inspiring and interesting professional travelling musicians, feeding them, and putting them up for the

Performers Deborah Robbins and Larry Hanks will perform at Juniper Trails Bed and Breakfast this fall and next spring. night. Juniper Trails is part of the “Blue Moon” circuit. Starting in Vancouver and ending in Prince George, musicians play a total of 12 house concerts in 14 days. The first concert takes place Wednesday, Oct. 3. Performers Larry Hanks and Deborah Robbins (www.larryhanks.com) are set to entertain an intimate group of 20 to 30 guests, with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets for the performances are $20 with the entire proceeds going to the musicians. A great selection of homemade desserts and
refreshments will also be offered. For more information and to reserve your seats, contact Harkies
and Sonntag at 250-3988296 or e-mail them at info@junipertrails.ca The series continues Thursday, Nov. 1 with My Sweet Patootie (www.mysweetpatootie.com); Friday, Nov. 30 with Carrie Elkin, (www.carrieelkin.com); Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013 with Kim Dunn (www. kimdunn.ca); Sunday, March 17, 2013, with Jess Reimer (www.jessreimer.com); and Tuesday, April 16, 2013 with Silk Road (www.silkroadmusic.ca). Home Routes is the brainchild of Mitch Podolak, one of Canada’s biggest promoters of folk music. He was a founder of the Winnipeg
and Vancouver folk music festivals. When Podolak’s son and his former band Scruj MacDukh came back exhausted and penniless from a grueling North American tour in 2003, Podolak wondered if there was a better way for folk artists to earn a living. Podolak had first heard about a house-concert circuit in California 30 years ago. Audiences get an evening of highcalibre music, and artists are spared the major expenses of touring.

It can take many hours to polish one piece. During the second firing flames are allowed to flow around the pots, enhancing the effect of
burnishing and giving colour variations to the pieces, Roberts says. Sometimes she mixes light and darker coloured clays to give greater texture to the piece. Roberts will have an outdoor show and sale of her work in the yard of her studio at 2202 Grebe Dr. on Sept. 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.

“They call the Cariboo home” Fred Van Kuipers has special heart for Cadets Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Fred Van Kuipers is one of several inspiring volunteers in Williams Lake to be presented with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary year on the British throne. Fred was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in a surprise presentation by Navy League President of B.C. David Houde during the first ever joint review of the 202 Chilcotin Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps and 3064 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps held at the Elks Hall in Williams Lake, June 6. He is pleased but not surprised by the relatively large number of people in Williams Lake, who also received such medals. “This community is volunteer oriented,” Fred says. “If we didn’t have volunteers a lot of things wouldn’t get done.” Fred grew up in Amsterdam until the age of 15 when he emigrated to Canada with his family. When they left Holland it was 10F, but –40 during their stop over in Winnipeg on the way to Calgary. “This in itself was a cultural shock,” Fred says. In Calgary Fred attended James Fowler High School and joined the Air Cadets 604 squadron. In the summer of 1972 he moved to Hope as a sales representative for Franklin Laboratories — a job that took him throughout B.C. “My first visit in Williams Lake was at National Grain where I first met Willie Crosina, John Margetts, Eleanor Cox and the late Tom Denny,” Fred says. But it was a visit to Spencer Dickie Drugs (now Shoppers Drug Mart) in 1975 that would result in him settling down here. He credits pharmacist Addie Hamm for introducing him

Fred and Debbie Van Kuipers enjoy a coffee outing with Debbie’s mom Charlotte, who just turned 97 and lives in Williams Lake. to his future wife Debbie (nee Elsenheimer) who was working in the pet department. Debbie was born in Edmonton and moved to Salmon Arm with her family in 1969 at the age of 13. She finished high school in Salmon Arm then moved to Williams Lake to take the job with Spencer Dickie Drugs. Debbie and Fred were married in September 1976. After they married he took a job as sales representative with Littler Floors, which soon became Baron Floors, and is now End of the Roll. While their three children were growing up the family lived across the street from Marie Sharpe Elementary School. A stay-at-home mom, Debbie ran an after-school day-care program for French Immersion students for many years. Fred started his own painting business in 1998. “In 1998 I decided to venture out on my own and take up painting with Ming’s Palace being my first job,” Fred says. “There was no looking back until I retired in February 2012, but that
doesn’t mean you are out of the woods. I do lots of volunteering and painting for the Stampede Association, Elks, and Legion.” I love to paint, especially if there are no deadlines,” Fred says. “Painting is very relaxing.” Over the years Fred has volunteered with the Downtown Business Association, following Tony Borkowski as president in the early 1980s; co-facilitating the Parents Together support group for parents with difficult teens, serving as a director and then vice-president of the Williams Lake Bingo Association, and a director with the Esler Community Association for a time. Then he says there is his pet project which is the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. In addition to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, Fred received his 10-year service medal with the Navy League of Canada this year. He is currently president of the Chilcotin Branch of the Navy League of Canada. “We look after the financial
well being of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets,” Fred says. “The Cadet program in Canada is probably one of the best programs for our young people and it is absolutely free.” The Cadet program is open to youth ages 12 to 19 and started for the new season on Sept. 13 at the Elks Hall where the group meets every Thursday evening from 6:15 to 9:15 p.m. Fred encourages potential new Cadets to register by the end of October so they can qualify for camp next summer. Participants in Sea Cadets learn how to sail small boats and big ships. They learn biathlon, rifle marksmanship, marching drills, and have the opportunity to travel and participate in training camps aboard the HMCS Quadra off Comox for two to six weeks a year depending on the cadet’s rank. “The ceremony of the flags is huge,” Fred says. This year he says their granddaughter Shelby participated with local Sea Cadets in Victoria’s May Day Parade. By chance he says they had the TV on and when Shelby passed by the camera she turned her head and “real quick, smiled and looked.” He says the Navy is always the first out in any parade because it is the oldest branch in the Canadian service. “It is so satisfying to see these kids grow up and make their way in the world,” Fred says. “Cadets are often hired immediately because employers know they have learned structure, how to work with other people, how to work as a team and how to be respectful and disciplined in their work ... teamwork is most important.” “The kids have lots of fun,” agrees Debbie, who often attends events with Fred. Before they were married Debbie and Fred made a trip to
Holland together and have also been able to make trips around the U.S. and Canada with their children as they were growing up. He says they were also thrilled when Baron Floors gave the couple a trip to Hawaii for their 15th anniversary. As a couple, Debbie and Fred enjoy being out in the community having coffee, participating in community activities and spending time with family. Daughter Terri is a “DeliLama” at Walmart in Williams Lake and has two children Shelby, 12, who is in Sea Cadets, and Dale, 11. Their daughter Jenn is a registered nurse working at the Abbotsford Hospital. Their son Mike is a junior soft-wear developer at North 49 Business Solutions in Burnaby. Debbie’s dad Pat, who passed away in 1998, was also a painter. Her mom Charlotte just turned 97 and lives in Williams Lake. Later in life Fred’s late mother Henny Jordaan moved from Calgary to Williams Lake to be near the family and worked at Gourmet Delight Deli for quite a few years. In her spare time Debbie enjoys crocheting, knitting, and conversing with friends and family and surfing the Internet on their computer. She says the Internet makes it so convenient to converse with friends and family around the world but there is no place they would rather live than in Williams Lake. She says they have had a few shocks losing close friends and family over the years so “you have to make every day special.” “We are lucky to live in Williams Lake,” Fred says. “There are no floods, no famine, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, and four beautiful seasons ... . It doesn’t matter where you go, life is what you make of it,” Fred says.
