STUDENTS SAIL INTO GRADUATION Tara Sprickerhoff photo
Columneetza graduates Shelby Barr and Johnny Van-Capelle sit in a gondola in the Venice portion of this year’s City Nights Bright Lights inspired dry grad prom held in the Gibraltar Room. This year marked the 25th official Dry Grad celebrations in Williams Lake. Grads celebrated their milestones through ceremonies, the dry grad parade and the dry grad festivities all night Saturday and into early Sunday morning at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.
No one was hurt Monday afternoon when a school bus in Williams Lake ended up part way in the ditch alongside Highway 20, east of Westridge Drive. School District 27 transportation manager Tony Poole said the bus was three quarters full with students from Chilcotin Road elementary being transported home. “Apparently he went past his stop and decided to turn around and go back, which he should never have done,” Poole said. “The shoulder is very soft.” All of the students were immediately transferred to another school bus, Poole said.

Tourism association discusses branding Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In light of the place branding project presently being undertaken by the city of Williams Lake, the Tribune interviewed Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association CEO Amy Thacker about the concept of branding and marketing. Without hesitating Thacker said there is value to marketing and place branding. “A tourism brand represents the essence and characteristic of a place. It’s all about authenticity, stories, people and perception, so it’s a sense of the place, culture and history that is our destination’s story.” Her organization has used the tag “Land Without Limits” since it was adopted in 1999 by what was then the Cariboo Tourism Association. Geoff Moore, Travel Media Relations with CCCTA, said the tag emerged two years after the new Crown corporation Tourism BC was created in 1997. “By the spring of 1998 TBC began funding and facilitating a branding process with four of
the six tourism regions in the Province,” Moore said. “The Cariboo Tourism Association (CTA) worked in conjunction with TBC and the stakeholders of the region gathering research data and hosting meetings with the goal to help create an accurate authentic brand tag line.” At the 1999 CTA annual general meeting held in Quesnel the “Land Without Limits” tag was adopted, along with the new name Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association. By February of 2000 CCCTA marketing collateral included a new logo and the tag “Land Without Limits.” Often a brand and marketing are two different tools, Thacker said. “What we see in branding is often a tagline and graphics and imagery which are the marketing tactics and campaign pieces, but the brand is really that authentic perception that the public has, whether it’s an object, a vehicle and a place.” A brand becomes the way in which a place or an asset is perceived by potential visitors,
whether they are coming for leisure or looking to set up a business, she explained. “It’s about perception so a brand is about that sense of place and what people think of us. Very often communities have a brand whether they are conscious of it or not. It’s not always tied to marketing.” In a very successful situation, those things are all aligned, she suggested, using “Super Natural British Columbia” as an example. “Super Natural British Columbia is the trademark and tagline, but the branding perceptions of people coming to B.C. is nature, value, amazing experiences, unique stories and First Nations cultures. It’s all of that essence woven together that makes the brand.” A brand works in relationship to the things around it, she added. The Canadian Tourism Commission brands our country with the tagline of ‘Keep Exploring’ and that Canada is about people and experiences and wide open spaces. “Then the province puts their
piece on that and then ourselves as a region uses ‘Land Without Limits’ and our brand is about incredible people and experiences and good value for money, the great outdoors, untouched wilderness, and our ecosystems.” The social fabric is all woven together and that’s why brands are powerfully tied to perception. “Our place brand is how we’re perceived by visitors or people we want to attract but how we locally perceive something is very different than how a visitor perceives something.” Marketers use research to drive decisions and try to take personal biases out of the picture in order to be aware that people come with different perceptions of the places they live. “We have to make sure that the brand we’re portraying is authentic to the experience that visitors are having,” Thacker said. Marketing increases awareness and shapes perception and creates actions which develop a visitor economy, which ultimately contributes to the brand, she added.

Vehicle B&Es keep police busy Over the weekend Williams Lake RCMP responded to 81 calls for service, including damage to vehicles parked at the hospital and several impaired driving incidents. June 15 A PD security guard reported at 3:04 a.m. that a blue Kia Soul vehicle had its passenger side window smashed and broken while parked in the parking lot of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital.
Police attended and located the owner of the vehicle, although there was no evidence of anything taken. At approximately 3:22 a.m. the owner of a vehicle called the RCMP to advise that the front passenger window of her red Volkswagen Golf had been smashed and broken while also parked in the parking lot of the hospital. Police attended and spoke with the own-
er who said she was staying at the nurses quarters on the hospital grounds when she heard a window being smashed and went to the window of the nurses residence where she saw three First Nation males looking at the smashed passenger side window of her vehicle. One of the males was described as approximately five-feet -11-inches in height, slim and wearing a
red baseball cap and a black top. The males ran north bound toward Fourth Avenue. At 4 a.m. police responded to a driving complaint at Mammel Place in Miocene. Upon attendance police located the driver of an uninsured vehicle, and confirmed he had consumed alcohol. The vehicle was impounded and the driver issued a roadside suspension as well as a violation ticket for

Bee and chicken bylaws continue to incubate Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City planning technician Chris Hutton is hoping more people will respond to the city’s request for public input on whether people should be able to keep bees and chickens within the City of Williams Lake. He’s been hosting public meetings, has developed a survey on the city’s website, and will host the final meeting on hens on June 19 at city hall. So far about a dozen people have come to each meeting, Hutton
said Thursday. “There’s lots of support for hens and some concerns with the impacts,” he said. “We received suggestions on licensing, training and food safety, that would help with ongoing enforcement issues.” Several people addressed the challenge of animal welfare and insisted that they would want anyone who keeps hens to ensure the hens are clean and healthy. “The literature indicates it’s harder to keep backyard hens than it is to keep a dog,” Hutton said. “There is some

Public consultation continues on whether bees and hens should be kept in lakecity. care that’s required there and they require daily attention and if that isn’t happening with people it’s impor-
tant to have regulations in place to address those issues. For the health of the hens themselves, and the people who live
around them. The proposed bylaw covered most of the areas already, but input from the public has helped to make the proposed bylaw more specific on licensing and training. People were equally interested in bees, although Hutton did hear more concerns from people who have had neighbours keeping bees. “We talked a little about those issues and found for the most part those were in areas where the city had addressed it through bylaw enforcement mat-
ters.” A lot of the regulations being proposed in the draft bylaw would have alleviated those concerns, Hutton said. One of the biggest things for neighbours is having a proper bee flight path in place. “You need to obstruct the bee path. It’s sort of like an airport, if you’ve got your flight plan open to a neighbouring property they’re going to come across there.” Beekeepers can obstruct the path so the bees go up and out so they aren’t hanging around on a neighbouring property.
Hutton plans to prepare reports on both the bee and hen bylaws to bring to mayor and council on July 2 for second reading. “They will basically be a summary of the public meetings, correspondence we’ve received and the online survey results,” Hutton said. The survey is designed to glean ideas and opinions and there are lots of opportunities within the survey for comment. “It’s a really good way to get involved if you can’t get out to the meetings,” he added.
Complex will be open on statutory holidays Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City council gave its green light to the recreation complex’s pool and fitness centre to continue being open on statutory holidays, after receiving a recommendation from the Central Cariboo/ City of Williams Lake Joint Committee. The pool and fitness centre will be open for three and a half hours on Wrestling Day, Victoria Day, B.C. Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Remembrance Day. In a report to the committee, manager of active living Deb Radolla noted the cost of opening the facility on statutory holidays costs the centre about $2,600 in 2012. “Four staff are scheduled on statuary holidays and Sundays: two lifeguards, one cashier and one facility maintenance. The expenses are solely staff wages and do not include electricity, chemicals, cleaning supplies or facility
maintenance costs to clean the facility following the stat.” Radolla also said on average stat holiday openings cost approximately 60 to 70 per cent more to operate than on comparable “average day” swims because of the need to pay union staff overtime for those shifts and less use on those days. At the regular city council meeting June 4, Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he was happy about the deci-
sion to keep the complex open on those days. Three years ago the community requested that the complex be
open on statutory holidays, he explained. “The success of the pool being open, as far as money goes, has had its ups and downs,
but we’re not here to make money,” Rathor said, adding the cost of keeping the facility open on holidays is worth it.
All council members voted in favour of the recommendation, with the exception of Coun. Danica Hughes, who was opposed.

Crawling woman arrested for impaired driving Continued From Page A1 Police located the vehicle on Mackenzie Avenue North near Third Avenue and spoke with the driver and observed an open can of beer behind the driver’s seat. The investigating officer observed evidence of impairment by the driver, issued a roadside suspension and impounded the vehicle.
The driver was also charged with open liquor in a vehicle. At approximately 8:01 p.m. police received a complaint of an impaired motor vehicle incident on Mackenzie Avenue in front of the power plant and that the driver was running away down the road. Police attended and located a grey Dodge Jeep. Evidence suggested
the driver was driving southbound, lost control, hit the southbound ditch then crossed over and ended up in the northbound ditch. There was no damage to the vehicle. Police located the suspected female driver crawling in the ditch about 200-300 metres south on Mackenzie Avenue. She showed signs of impairment and was unable to stand on her
own. Police arrested her for impaired driving and issued a violation ticket for failure to remain at the scene of an accident. June 16 While on patrol, police were flagged down by a vehicle on Carson Dr. at 4:01 a.m. The driver told the officers there was a male being beaten up at the Cariboo Memorial complex on the Proctor Street
side. Police attended and spoke to a witness who stated he saw a male with no shirt on beating up the male that was on the ground. The witness also stated there were some females there and other males. The perpetrators of the assault ran down to alley toward Carson Drive. Police spoke with the victim who was bleed-
ing from his mouth. He also had a cut above his left eye. The matter is still under investigation. At 11:16 a.m. police received a report there was a white Dodge pickup located near a shop on Hodgson Road behind the Chevron that appeared to have been abandoned and possibly stolen. The truck had a broken window, damaged ignition and no plates.
Police attended and observed the rear right window was broken, the bottom of the steering column was broken to expose wires and the interior light pulled out. Police confirmed it was stolen and said they continue to investigate the incident. A Gibbon Street resident reported at 5:09 a.m. that the downstairs window of her residence had been smashed.

Boaters asked to be mindful of Scout Island restrictions Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Kris Andrews is hoping boaters will be more mindful after she heard constant alarmed loon calls in the waters between Scout Island and North Lakeside last Sunday. At around 11:30 a.m. she rushed to see what was causing the alarm calls and observed a motor boat with people cruising inside the bay between Scout Island and North Lake side pump house. “I saw a loon frantically half running half flying all around the area of the boat making frantic calls and coming up vertical out of the water and paddling furiously with its feet in a distress alarm display when protecting young,” she said. This went on for more than five minutes when the boat finally moved out past the island and sped off, Andrews said. “I was relieved to later see two adult loons with two chicks in the bay safe and sound. But as I left Scout Island about one hour later, walking down the causeway I heard loon calls again and saw the same boat cruising toward the loon family.” Andrews said harassing loon parents can expose chicks to predation and unnecessary stress. “It would be like putting your baby in a pram on your lawn only to look out the

That wouldn’t be very nice for you. It isn’t nice for loon families either.” Fred McMechan with the Williams Lake Field Naturalists is a full-time volunteer at Scout Island. He explained that there is a Loon Alert sign posted at the dock for the very concerns Andrews raised. “It’s put out by Bird Studies Canada and outlines concerns about proper behaviour when being around loons,” McMechan said. “People probably don’t read it, but it’s there.” Loons are an endangered species and boaters can cause difficulties for loons when they are raising their young, he added. Sgt. Len Butler with the Conservation Officer Services said under the Wildlife Act and Migratory Bird
act, any harassment of wildlife is a concern. “Sometimes birds and their young are hard to pick up when you’re travelling across the lake, but if people are actively pursuing them with a boat and seen chasing them down, then definitely people should call the Report All Poachers and Pollutants (RAPP) line,” Butler said. Andrews said what she witnessed Sunday was probably not done intentionally or maliciously, but more out of ignorance than anything. “The loons nest in this bay every summer and rear the young on the outer edge of the bay between Scout Island and North Lakeside until the young are old enough to feed themselves then they go out further into the lake,” Andrews said. Another pair usually nests in the marsh area west of the cause-

way as well. They rear their young in the bay between Scout Island and South Lakeside, she added. “I’m not sure if both pairs have been successful this year,” Andrews said. “Often
they are not successful. Something happens to the eggs. Crows or eagles get the chicks or some other predator, or the water levels or wind wreck their flimsy nests and the eggs get washed out of the nest.”

Hadfield an inspiration
T
he world seems to be short of heroes these days, (sung ones, anyway) so we were ready to ooh and aah when Chris Hadfield burst into our lives from outer space. Hadfield, a veteran pilot of 35 years, is not only the first Canadian to hold the post of Commander of an international space station, he is the first to use social media to record his experiences. He caught the attention of fellow earthlings by sharing his six-month space odyssey in an French Connection enterDiana French taining way that fascinated the world, not just proud Canadians. The thing is, he was fun, and goodness knows we are as short of fun as we are of heroes. When so many elite Canadians (e.g. some senators) are letting us down Hadfield has been an inspiration to young and old. He announced his retirement from the space program last week, apparently he had his shot at space travel, and he is returning to Canada. At age 53 he`s too young to retire but after his six-month star performance, you do wonder what he will do for an encore. I Googled but couldn’t find out what kind of salaries and pensions astronauts get. I hope they are on par with what some greedy politicians pocket. *** Once upon a time, mothers writing letters expressing their opinions on one thing or another would begin “As a mother of five, (or whatever) I think yatayata.” I used to wonder how the size of one’s family gave authority to anything but looking back I realize there was a point to it. Mothers of big families were, and no doubt still are, masters of multi-tasking. That is an awesome and transferable skill. *** Interesting that city is looking for pizzaz (something unique) when it comes to place branding while the school board settled for total blah in renaming the schools.

Abuse of system sickening The federal government announced this week that it will overhaul the way public servants can take paid sick leave on the taxpayer’s dime, which Treasury Board President Tony Clement called “unsustainable.” Indeed. Although public servants are already free to call in sick to work just over once a month (or 15 days), with the ability to carry over unused sick days to the next year, Clement said the average worker uses 18.2 days of paid and unpaid leave per year. Note the word “average” in that sentence. Your everyday common federal public employee isn’t at his or her desk for almost three weeks a year, on top of whatever regular vacation and statutory holidays they already get. I don’t know if it’s because I come from a working class, blue collar background, but calling in sick to work more than 18 days a year boggles the mind. Before I got into journalism I used to work construction, both in the unionized and non-union sector. You work, you get paid. You don’t work, you don’t get paid. Needless to say, everybody worked. It’s not a great system to force people who are sick

to work, but the flip side of the coin is the disgusting abuse heaped upon taxpayers by these public servants. I’m not saying there aren’t any scenarios in which a worker could miss 18 days over a calendar year. But the fact that the average worker is missing that many days screams abuse of the system. Of the total 285,000 workers on the public pay cheque, at any given time there are more than 19,000 not working, according to Clement. A further 13,149 are on long-term disability with an average disability claim lasting 7.7 years. Uh, give me a break. Clearly there is a lack of oversight, aided and abetted by the powerful public sector unions, for those who are abusing the generosity of the system. The reason we offer public workers generous sick leave is for the very reason I didn’t get paid when I got sick: it isn’t fair to ask a worker to choose between paying the rent and resting in bed. But it’s not an excuse to “bank” sick days like it’s cash, so you can take the kids to Disneyland on your second vacation. - Adrian MacNair/South Delta Leader

Community involvement is something very close to my heart, which is why this role is a perfect fit for me. With a focus on helping communities grow and attract investment, this is a very exciting ministry to work in. We have an incredible LNG opportunity here in B.C., and the ministry is key to ensuring that communities benefit from it; we will ensure that they share in the prosperity that LNG will bring to our province. We will also continue to build partnerships with communities and non-profit organizations here in the Cariboo and throughout the province, providing them with financial support and technical advice. The community gaming grants program, for example, funds many worthy recipients in areas such as public safety and environmental protection. Culture and sport are also vitally important to creating healthy, vibrant communities. The ministry will continue to provide support to the BC Arts Council and to cultural organizations throughout the province, help communities host major sporting events, and support training for athletes and their coaches. My work as the MLA for Cariboo North and the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development has just begun, but I feel great about the direction we are heading.

snow has been gone for a while but I see that the lines on the roads downtown still have not been repainted. As a driver who is learning how to drive, I find this very frustrating. I find myself panicking as I drive through downtown Williams Lake because I cannot figure out where to stop since the stop lines are worn
down and I often find myself driving down the middle of a two-lane side of road because I didn’t realize that I wasn’t quite in one lane or the other. I have gotten to the point that I don’t even like driving downtown because I can’t see the lines on the road, if I practice my driving at all, I drive on the highways where you can actu-
ally see the lines. We, as drivers, run the risk of all kinds of accidents and losing my licence because I could not see the lines on the road. Please paint the lines back onto the roads, they aren’t just there to make the roads prettier. Samantha Heibein Williams Lake
Short term very long to adapt to warming Editor: Enbridge (Texas based) pipeline “leaks” 9.5 million litres. The massive spill of “waste” water from oil and natural gas extractions containing toxic oil, salts, minerals, a toxic chemical brew that includes poisons to kill bacteria. The toxic spill was in wetland animal and bird habitat in Northern Alberta. What are the volumes of “industrial” waste water being piped and their toxic “waste” water storage destination? Alberta wants to double their tar-sand production and shipping
by 2020. Crucially, Alberta needs an enlarged pipeline capacity. Global News’ Leslie Young reported on 37 years of oil spills in Alberta between 1975-2012. Over the 37 years, Alberta had 28,666 bitumen/synthetic crude oil spills plus 31,453 spills from pipelines. Spills under 12.5 barrels are discounted. Federal Resources Minister Joe Oliver says, “We are focusing on making sure pipeline safety is world class, maritime safety is world class, and that we have robust consultation process with Aboriginals to maximize their benefits from resource develop-
ment.” Oliver says Clark’s five conditions must be met. Oliver says anything that moves Alberta’s bitumen forward is very positive. Is that true? Oliver says Ottawa will focus on Clark’s five criteria for B.C.’s approval on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project. The Northern Gateway pipeline is crucial for Ottawa, Alberta and the fossilfuel industry. Ottawa aims to help B.C. “change its mind.” Of the top 11 richest corporations of the world, eight are fossilfuel corporations. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers speak for fossil-fuels.
The fossil-fuel industry aims on producing and burning 2,795 gigaton of fossil-fuel carbon. 565 gigaton of fossil-fuel carbon is the amount which can still be burned and stay below 2C globally? The aimed carbon burn is “five” times 565 gigaton!!! Ship Alberta’s “dirty” bitumen to Asia? Consider wildlife, fish, human habitat in B.C. and the world. That short term is very long for humanity “adapting” to irreversible runaway global warming. Herb Nakada Williams Lake

questions to ponder Editor:
Citizens of Williams Lake, Cariboo, Chilcotin and Coast area, here are some disturbing questions for you to ponder. Are you aware it appears Williams Lake City Hall finally got its “Republic Of” thing going and it looks very much like a “Republic of Dictatorship”? Are you aware this type of name branding thing can run up to $250,000 or more before it is finished? Does it seem to you we are being smoke screened with “meetings” as a stall tactic? Do these questions stick in your craw some? Do you know B.C. has a Freedom of Information Act, giving the public a right of access to records and this Act applies to all records in the custody or under the control of a public body? Do you think it would be a good idea to have City Hall ordered to produce pertinent records to this fiasco or any other and published in this newspaper so our citizens may know exactly what is going on? Clarence Moore Williams Lake Editors note: City Council is in the process of gathering information from the public on the issue. A survey wrapped up on Friday. One public meeting has been held to date. A nine person committee was originally established to work on the branding project.

Celebrate Aboriginal Heritage
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer National Aboriginal Day plans for Williams Lake are busy. Friday, June 21 will kick off with a parade and end with a dance at Sugar Cane. “National Aboriginal Day is a day to share with everyone and welcome them into the First Nations cultures in our area,” said Marg Casey, community services co-ordinator at Northern Shuswap Tribal Council. She is organizing the parade and said there are many entries. The parade starts at 10 a.m. in the parking lot at the Elks Hall on First Avenue South and ends in Boitanio Park. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m there will be entertainment on the outdoor stage, a bouncy castle, information booths and bannock. Xatsull Chief Bev Sellars will be selling and signing copies of her new book, They Call Me Number One, about experiences in residential schools. Casey said she hopes the day is sunny. It was last year and that meant a good number of people participated. For those wanting to participate in a sporty way, the Carrier Chilcotin Tribal Council is hosting a nine-hole golf tournament at Coyote Rock Golf Course from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Receptionist Beverly Evans said people wanting to play need to arrive 15 minutes ahead of their tee time.

ABORIGINAL DAY CELEBRATIONS! Friday, June 21st LeRae Haynes photo
The Williams Lake Indian Band hosted its annual Father’s Day powwow last weekend in the powwow arbor. The picture above is of the grand entry at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The event ran Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. cart they should call ahead to book one. “There will be prizes at every hole including longest drive, K-P hole, closest 50 marker, longest putt, K-P second shot and closest to the green.” The golf day will culminate with a barbecue at 5:30 p.m. for participants who are welcome to bring a guest, Evans said. People can contact Ed at 250-392-7033 or Roxanne at 250-3034653 for more information. Recently elders at Sugar Cane were talking about the fact that normally National Aboriginal Day activities are done during the day and people who work cannot participate so they decided to host a barbecue and dance in the evening at the Elizabeth Grouse Gym at Sugar Cane.
“With the theme of cowboy up, they are asking people to dress up in their best cowboy style and have fun,” said Williams Lake Indian Band social development worker Carol Archie. It will be a fundraiser for the elders as well, because many of them are planning to attend the 37th annual Elders Gathering being held in Prince George July 9-11. Aside from the need to fundraise, the elders all love dancing and thought they’d share that joy. Eagle Spirit Band from Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) is going to play for the dance, Archie confirmed. A barbecue of hamburgers, a vegetable platter, fruit salad and a drink, runs from 6 to 8 p.m. The dance, which is billed
as a family event, will start at 8 p.m. and go until midnight. The Williams Lake Library will also be screening We Were Children and videos
filmed during the recent St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemoration Project in the Gibraltar Room at 6:30 p.m. Free admission.

The Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association hosted its mini Jamboree wrap-up for boys and girls ages 6 to 10 last week with games beginning Thursday and finishing up Saturday at the Esler Sports Complex. Here, Tim Hortons Green Goblins player (right) Grady Gustafson battles with Tim Hortons Navy’s Matteo Callabrese in boys under-six action Saturday.
Rustlers brush aside Gnats in strong match Williams Lake Rustlers captain Nathan Stewart said Saturday’s 7014 home field win over the Prince George Gnats was one of the most complete efforts by the local men’s rugby club in several years. “The boys all played as a team, meshing exactly to their specific roles as a whole unit,” Nathan said. “We were able to play at a high level of game strategy on both offence and defence which kept Prince George on their heels the whole game. The score was a very satisfying outcome to a wellplayed game.” One standout for the Rustlers was Sidney Paul — previously an unsung hero from Williams Lake Secondary School — who plays wing for the Rustlers. “Sid was all heart and haywire with his fearless efforts which included a massive tackle and strong rucking leading to three Williams Lake scores,” said Rodger Stewart, president of the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club. Anthony Faggiani was also a
pillar in the forward pack making a number of stunning impact runs right into the heart of the Prince George defence. Jordan Pritchard and Doug Fraser helped lead a dynamic backline through a continuous series of skillful plays. Beau Parker, with inside centre Doug Fraser, also helped set up a number of Williams Lake tries. The win follows on a 52-12 victory for the Rustlers two weeks ago in Prince George. Last weekend the Rustlers were on the road to Prince Rupert. After hours on the bus the squad immediately played Terrace to a 5-5 draw early last Saturday morning. A loss that same afternoon to Smithers reflected the fatigue of a long road trip, but the Rustlers came back on Sunday to handily defeat the host Prince Rupert before making the trek home. While the men were in Prince Rupert the Williams Lake Hustlers ladies team travelled to a tournament in Penticton where they completely dominated the weekend

Interagency Fun Shoot hits the mark Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Second Annual Interagency Fun Shoot between the Williams Lake RCMP, the conservation officers, the B.C. Sheriffs and the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) took place at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association shooting ranges June 9. Participants took turns shooting in a variety of different positions and stances, shooting various targets at multiple distances. Terry Chupa, president of the WLSA, said the event was a huge success. He said it was unique in the sense that multiple agencies and civilians competed. “No other place in Canada had agencies and civilians competing as we did, so I hope this is the first of many,” Chupa said. “I would like to thank everyone
for their professionalism and safety during this fun shoot, which really makes this shoot awesome.” He added he’d like to thank Kane Fraser for helping to sponsor the shoot and Tracy and Heino Seibert for the use of the ATVs to help the competitors travel between the different shooting ranges. In the tactical shoot it was the RCMP Team One, Colin Atkinson and Guy Simmons, taking first place. For the main shoot, scores were broken down into a hit factor percentage. All shooters results are based on a per cent of the scores from the whole match. Shooters were also scored per squad and per team on the two different courses of fire. The combined score winners of the RCMP, sheriffs and conservation officers course of fire were Simmons (first, RCMP), Atkin-
son (second, RCMP) and Ken Fisher (third, sheriff’s agency). Overall results are as follows: First — IPSC 3.5 Men; Second — RCMP Two; Third — IPSC The Best; Fourth — Sheriffs; Fifth — The Outcasts; Sixth — Conservation Officers; Seventh — RCMP One; Eighth — Rocky Mountain Rangers; Ninth — Girls with Guns. Overall team scores saw the IPSC shooters finish first overall, while the sheriffs came in second. Shortly behind in third place were the RCMP, followed by the conservation officers and the Rocky Mountain Rangers. “The turnout was great this year for competitors and we welcomed the Rocky Mountain Rangers from Kamloops this year for the first time,” Chupa said.

Hlokoff returns from Silver State Classic Ted Hlokoff Special to The Tribune I filled up with gas at my store, Anahim Lake Trading, then headed south of the border in May for the Silver State Classic Challenge. I drove to Seattle, picked up my navigator, John Vittone, then we drove about 1,400 miles farther to Las Vegas and Ely, Nevada. And it was another couple wins for the home team. I won fastest in the Halfmile Shootout (103 cars). My navigator, John Vittone from Seattle, and I won first in the 115-mph class with a time variance of .3 seconds slow over the distance of 90 miles. We were competing in my supercharged 2001 Dodge Viper GTS. Being new my navigator had to learn the job while we were flying down the Silver State Highway at speeds of up to 139 mph — 140 mph would have resulted in an automatic disqualification. With the Open Road Rally only the last (finish) milepost counts. This race there were a few problems along the route and the race was red flagged, meaning that a restart was required after the race was stopped. With speeds of 250 mph for some cars accidents are serious. During the race one car did blow a tire and left the highway at nearly 200 mph.

Anahim Lake’s Ted Hlokoff (right) was in Las Vegas and Ely, Nevada, racing his 2001 Dodge Viper GTS in the Silver State Classic Challenge. Because of the extreme safety requirements the driver and navigator were fine and uninjured, although the highly modified Hybrid Corvair/Corvette was completely destroyed. Temperatures were at 39 C in Las Vegas for the media event and start of the Caravan to Ely, NV. However, the rain forced the postponement of the Halfmile Shootout until the Saturday, just after the Mile Shootout. Mile Shootout was won at 230 mph by a 1,500-wheel-horsepower race gas Lamborghini worth well over a million dollars. There was rain again and even a few snowflakes that night al-
though the rain had stopped by 6 a.m. and the race start at 10 a.m. had dry highways. Unfortunately we got the word that there was a blizzard in Ely just as we started running the 103 competition vehicles from the start at one-minute intervals. The start got pushed and we left at 30 second intervals which allowed all cars in the competition to head south, away from the snow.

Lorne Dufour – Cariboo poet releases fourth book Sage Birchwater
Special to The Tribune McLeese Lake horselogger and poet, Lorne Dufour, has produced a new book of verse called The Silence of Horses, released this month by Caitlin Press. This is Lorne’s fourth book, and he is planning a poetry reading and book launch on Friday, June 21 at the Gecko Tree Restaurant starting at 7 p.m. A few other musicians will take to the stage as well to help him celebrate. Hearing a poet read his or her work is the best way to get into the magic of their words. Lornie, as his friends call him, has developed his craft for more than 50 years, and he’s getting better at it. As some people know, Dufour suffered a brain aneurism a dozen years ago and he had to learn vocabulary and to speak all over again. Most of the poems in The Silence of Horses were written after his aneurism. “All my memory was gone after my brain surgery,” he says. “All I could remember were some verses of John Donne. I

Dufour will hold a reading from his new book at the Gecko Tree this Friday, June 21 starting at 7 p.m. was told I might not be able to write again.” Gradually Dufour’s faculties returned. Now he writes prolifically from a brand new perspective. Asked what inspires him to write poetry, Dufour’s reply is simple. “To remind people how great it is to be alive.” So how do you nail down the strands of living, breathing human existence? How do you
express the essence of what really matters? With his poetry, Dufour reveals the soft underbelly of everyday circumstance. He paints the Cariboo from a mystic’s perspective, but he does it in such a down-toearth way you can smell the horse sweat running down the sides of his beloved behemoth giants dragging logs from the bush.
No stone is left unturned, no subject matter is taboo as Dufour contemplates his own aging. “My body has become a personal type of disgust,” he writes. “Now after seven decades of delight, I now find it repulsive.” He writes about favourite cats or dogs, wildlife, bird migrations, and a fox and her mate visiting the log-
gers at lunch. See POETRY Page A14

ENGAGEMENT
The Fletcher family and the Winkelman family are pleased to announce the engagement of Sarah Fletcher and Max Winkelman. The wedding will take place this summer on the Fletcher Ranch amidst family, friends, and flowers.
Steve Hunter launches first novel Thursday Steven Hunter will introduce his first novel The Cameron Ridge Conspiracy with a book launch this Thursday, June 20 starting at 5 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre. The centre is located next to city hall. The book is a work of fiction set in the very real history of the Cariboo on the gold rush trail in 1859. A young Secwepemc girl witnesses the tragic deaths of her brother and sister at the hands of three miners. The story follows the girl, her family and her village as they seek healing and justice in the midst of the chaos of the goldrush and the British
Poetry in motion Continued From Page AX Of course he writes plenty about horses. “Horse logging. Don’t forget to mention I was a horse logger for 35 years.” Dufour’s whole life is a love affair with his big horses – his beloved wife, Diana, and their three kids Creole, Tereina and Easton notwithstanding. It is through his big Clydesdales that Dufour touches the brass ring of life’s deeper meaning. His horses are his metaphor for what really matters. Dufour captures everyday moments in life like popcorn strung up for decorations, and holds them up for us to admire. He wings you into the cadence of a great flock of Canada geese passing overhead. You can hear their cries, he says, but they are so high they are hidden from view. Then he ponders whether they can see him and want him to hear their songs? Ah, the mind of a poet. Dufour writes poetry for all occasions, births, deaths, weddings, graduations. Where some might buy an expensive gift or gadget, Dufour will compose and dedicate a special verse. These are items

of thought and feeling, truly an honour to receive. The Wedding for Troy and Ingrid on page 50 of The Silence of Horses, is an example. “Wedlock is a wondrous ceremony of clouds that we the children of clouds celebrate in the skies of our hearts,” he writes. In December 2004, Lorne and I became good friends. We knew of each other before that, but hadn’t really connected. We ran into each other at a memorial service for Jerry LeBourdais in Lone Butte, and we both concocted some writing to commemorate our old revolutionary comrade. Dufour did his in verse of course, and I produced a soliloquy. Both pieces were published in Van Andruss’s Lived Experience Number Five the following year, and subsequently both Dufour and I have contributed to this annual Literary Journal from the Mountains of British Columbia. What I like best about Dufour’s poetry is how his words swirl around everyday experiences like the steam rising off a hot cup of coffee on a cold day. Inspired by Irish poet W.B. Yeats, he portrays his mean-
ing in uncomplicated language. He once explained that poetry is “prose without clothes” and we are fortunate to have a poet of Dufour’s calibre in our midst. Everyone should own at least one copy of his books, if not all four. He published Spit on Wishes (1983), Starting from Promise (2001), and Jacob’s Prayer (Caitlin Press 2009). Mollie Krimmer took the photo of Dufour’s beautiful Clydesdale, Montgomery, used on the cover of The Silence of Horses. Dufour says Montgomery is the last surviving member of the herd of horses he bred and raised at McLeese Lake with his original stallion and mare. “Horses don’t know boundaries. That’s why we love them,” Dufour says. The Silence of Horses was edited by Peter Quartermain for Caitlin Press. “I sent him 400 poems and he whittled it down to 140,” Dufour says. “My poems kind of sneak up on you.” If you miss Dufour’s reading at the Gecko Tree Restaurant Friday, you can catch him at the Hootstock Music Festival July 27 in Forest Grove.
crowns early measures to colonize their territory. Steve and his wife Basha Rahn have lived at Big Lake Ranch since 1991. For 30 years Hunter worked for the Ministry of Children and Family Development as a social worker, social work supervisor and regional manager. “My work took me to most corners of the province over those years,” Steve says.
The provision of services to Aboriginal people and their communities was an important part of his job in all the various positions and locations he worked. In his last position he was the Regional Aboriginal Services manager for the Thompson Cariboo Canyon and Chilcotin area. “All that is in the past having left that career behind five
years ago,” Steve says. “I began writing fiction, about this time of year in 2010, something I had never dreamed I would do. “Now, three years later here we are on the eve of the launch of my first novel. “I also write humorous short fiction for BC Outdoors magazine.” Steve says he also recently completed a draft of a second novel called Strings.
