THERE THEY GO

One male person from Toosey, is deceased and another male was sent to hospital with nonlife threatening injuries following a single motor vehicle incident that occurred on Canada Day on Stack Valley Road west of Williams Lake. At approximately 11:21 a.m. Monday the RCMP received a dispatch of a MVI. Soon afterwards police located an overturned vehicle approximately four kilometres down the Stack Valley Road. Police determined the vehicle had rolled over several times. The driver was found deceased at the scene. The RCMP did not rule out alcohol and excessive speed as factors in the incident.

Williams Lake Stampede weekend relatively quiet: RCMP There was a high police presence in town to ensure the safety of everyone and to deter unruly behaviour. There were approximately 250 calls for service and just over 100 prisoners placed in custody. The majority of prisoners were arrested for being drunk in a public place and unable to care for themselves and for causing a disturbance. “This number is down significantly from past years when 300-plus prisoners would be in cells at the Williams Lake detachment,” the RCMP noted in a press release. June 28

The RCMP attended a crack shack on Second Avenue North for the second night in a row with a search warrant. The same suspect who had been arrested the evening before, along with a family member of hers, were again arrested for possessing a quantity of cocaine. The suspect appeared in Provincial Court Tuesday. *** At 7:30 p.m. staff at the Williams Lake Fraser Inn Beer and Wine Store reported that a male, wearing a bandanna on his face, attempted to steal two 15-packs of beer. Staff had locked the door, but

the male attempted to kick his way out and smashed the glass in the door. Police arrived and arrested a 15-year-old male who attempted to run away. This same male had been released from custody only hours before after committing theft at the same beer and wine store. Five charges are being forwarded to Crown. The 15-year-old male appeared Provincial Court Tuesday. June 29 The police were called to 605 Carson Drive where two vehicles had been broken into sometime overnight.

It appears that the suspect(s) may have tried to steal them as the steering columns had been broken. *** In the early morning hours an alert homeowner called police to report there had been some vehicles broken into on Second Avenue North. Upon police arrival, they observed a suspect attempting to steal a vehicle. When they arrested the suspect he punched the police officer. The male was taken into custody without further incident. This male is known to the police for related criminal activities.

Fire season heating up in Cariboo Chilcotin Wildfire Management Branch aircraft based at the Cariboo Fire Centre in Williams Lake were doing patrols in the region on the Canada Day weekend, looking for possible lightning-strike holdovers and other smoke. Two wildfires were spotted on Monday, July 1 by these patrols, both in the Chilcotin. The first wildfire, reported at about 3:30 p.m., was approximately 10 kilometres south of Nazko Lake. An Initial Attack (IA) crew from the CFC’s Puntzi base attended via helicopter, and found the wildfire to be on private land and involving a structure, some sort of trailer. The fire did not spread because the area was surrounded by roads. Local RCMP also attended. As of Tuesday, July 2, the fire was turned over to the landowner. The second wildfire, reported at

about 4 p.m., was approximately eight kilometres south of Scum Lake, burning in slash adjacent to an active logging site/plantation. Two IA crews, one from Puntzi and one from Williams Lake, attended and an airtanker auctioned the fire with retardant. It was estimated in size at about two hectares. The IA crew from Williams Lake and the Ravens Unit crew from Alexis Creek returned to the site Tuesday, July 2 to perform mop-up duties. Both of these wildfires were personcaused and are currently under investigation. So far this season, the Chilcotin has seen 26 person-caused fires and one lightningcaused fire. There were also two lightning-caused wildfires on Monday, July 1, both reported by the public. The first fire, re-

ported at about 7:30 p.m., was on the shore of Bootjack Lake near Mount Polley. It was a single tree and was not spreading or threatening any values. An IA crew returned Tuesday via helicopter and IA truck for mop-up. This wildfire was the first of any type this season in the CFC’s Horsefly/Likely region. The second fire, reported at about 8:30 p.m., was on the west side of Dragon Mountain near Quesnel. The caller reported white smoke, but no flames. The CFC’s Quesnelbased response officer attended July 2, but could not find anything. WMB aircraft from the CFC will be patrolling for holdovers, concentrating on the CFC’s northeast region (Horsefly/Likely/ Quesnel Lake/Cariboo Lake/Bowron Lake areas), where there were hundreds, if not

Electronics store application heads to public hearing Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer An application to develop a large electronics store and accessory residential use in the 1100 block of Broadway Avenue South and Lakeview Crescent was approved by council Tuesday, after no one came forward from the public opposing the application. Now the application will go to a public hearing scheduled for July 16 at 7 p.m. The application is from Blanleil Cranbrook Holdings Ltd. and Victor and Lyda Sharman, who have applied for a devel-

opment permit and a zoning amendment. All of council voted in favour of the applications, except for Coun. Danica Hughes who said she would be sad to see the present business location at Oliver Street and Third Avenue relocated from the downtown core to Broadway Avenue. “One of our principles and goals is to support a vibrant downtown, and I’m not in support of moving a business from the downtown core,” Hughes said. Mayor Cook who voted in support of the development permit, said she doesn’t want

thousands, of lightning strikes throughout the long weekend. Throughout B.C. on Monday, July 1, there were approximately 20,000 lightning strikes. There have been a total of five new lightning-caused wildfires

since Tuesday, four in the Quesnel/Barkerville/Cariboo Mountains area and one near Likely. There have been a total of 52 wildfires in the CFC so far this season, 43 person-caused and nine lightning-caused, burning 1,063 hectares.

The CFC would like to remind the public that there has been an open burning prohibition in place since April 15 banning any waste, slash or grass fires. The CFC would also like to remind the public to be vigilant with any type of fire use, in-

cluding campfires. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on your cellphone. For more information on open fire restrictions or for updates on current wildfire activity, visit bcwildfire.ca.

to see businesses relocate, but no one can be forced to stay where they don’t want to be. Coun. Laurie Walters said the proponents explained they need room for big trucks to bring appliances in. “Besides, in our official community plan we want to develop a lively downtown but we also have to take into consideration developing the area around Broadway Avenue,” she said. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor agreed saying: “I’m glad somebody is developing the Broadway and Lakeview site. It’s an eyesore.”

NEWS Reduced setback for development problematic Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A proposed development of 34 homes near Eagle Crescent in Williams Lake did not receive a variance to permit buildings being erected to within two metres from the property line. Westridge Ventures Ltd. had asked the city to vary its zoning to allow for setback reductions from 5.5 metres to 2 metres and 6.1 metres to 2 metres for principal buildings. In a four-to-three vote against, council turned down the development variance permit application at its regular meeting Tuesday. At the meeting, council heard from two residents and the developer about the application. Elke Reiner lives nearby on Mandarino Place and said she was not against development, but would prefer to see the development on a through road, not a crescent. “Council must consider a second exit, creating a proper traffic pattern, not a culde-sac pattern,” Reiner said.

“At the same time it would revitalize the downtown core.” She explained how she exits Westridge Drive, heads down Highway 20 into the city core. “If we would have a bridge coming across to Oliver Street, I could go both ways,” she said. Retired city building inspector and architect Terry Gosling spoke against the proposed layout of the development and suggested a reconfiguration that would not require a setback adjustment. “This is not a level piece of land and that’s why the variance application is being made,” Gosling said, adding he’s not comfortable with the application in its present form. He said the adjusted setback could create a “tudor-like” town where people shake hands from the upper floor windows. Existing variations of the land for the proposed development are also a problem, Gosling added. “It drops off steeply to the back of the properties that are currently on Westridge

Drive. I can understand the people who live in those houses who have always been apprehensive about this piece of property.” Gosling reminded council the setback is not for a few lots, but for the whole development. “I think it’s going to look terrible. Regardless of what the city is going to do about branding, to have something like that as a potential residential development is totally wrong,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to see us being branded as the city that produces instant slums.” Gosling said Foster Way was the first recipient of city council’s permission of reduced setbacks in 2003 from 25 feet down to 18 feet. “Although that is the minimum and there is flexibility to increase the setback, it’s interesting to note that the two lots that were recently developed, one on Westridge and the other on Ridgeview Place, each went for the minimum lot line setback. Gosling handed out an overlay showing how the developer could maintain the 6.1 metre

setback on either side of the street without affecting any properties on Westridge Drive. “I’m suggesting the road be moved on the left 4.1 metres, leaving the houses on the right as they are. They wouldn’t change their location. The lots on the left would be slightly narrower, but the houses could be pushed back to 6.1 metres.” It could work, Gos-

ling said, adding there could be other solutions. “I don’t like being negative, but would rather come up with something that would answer the issues for us. There are some very sound reasons why adequate setbacks have been established and should be enforced,” he added. Developer Luigi Mandarino said the

design was created by a professional engineer. “This is the best possible choice for developing the property. We’ve been working on this for about three or four years and with the new geotechnical report conducted for the city it’s becoming more difficult to construct in Williams Lake,” Mandarino said. “We are on a slope in a valley, not on the flat

land where we can move wherever we want.” People he’d connected with on Westridge Drive and Eagle Crescent are 100 per cent in favour of supporting the variance permit, Mandarino added. “We didn’t request the variance just for the fun of it, but spent lots of hours trying to figure out how it could work. I don’t see any other way of doing it.”

Suggested new Fourth Avenue parking a no go Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Some local business owners hoping the city would purchase an empty lot near Fourth Avenue North and Cameron Street and make it into a parking lot learned that won’t be happening. At the June 18 regular meeting, council voted not to proceed with the request. Last fall Chiropractor Dr. Mike Bos and real estate agent Courtney Smith made the request

to council, bringing along a petition signed by several businesses in the vicinity of the lot. “We were very much under the impression at the time that our request was well received, but at this point it doesn’t seem to be going in that direction,” Bos said. In addition to the need for additional parking, Bos said the empty lot is a “hot bed” of illicit activity, crime and loitering that ranges from serious to minor. “The city has an opportunity here to make

some changes, to develop it into something that looks more respectable,” Bos said. Smith said the parking lot would encourage more public use and fits in with the development that’s happening in that part of town. “It’s growing at this end of town more than any part of town in the last two or three years. There’s more traffic and more people and many of our customers are parking on the street,” Smith said. Some of their cus-

tomers will park on the street but then along comes a semi-truck driver who is trying to pull into Rona and people are having to go out and move their cars. “On a municipal and family level, Kiwanis Park has no designated parking, only on street parking. If you have a family with more than one child, you’re unloading your child into traffic on the opposite side of your vehicle,” Bos said. Parking spaces are also prime when events

are taking place at the Cariboo Memorial Complex as well, he added. In his report to council, planning technician Chris Hutton said the block would be required to be included in the local service area which would require that all commercial property owners to pay the fees outlined in Bylaw No. 1643. The parking lot can only serve the block of businesses in question, and, not very effectively, Hutton’s report noted.

He noted staff concurred that some issues may exist with regards to parking availability in the area, but argued 225 Fourth Avenue North is not a suitable option for parking in the area. “A city parking lot is located at Third Avenue North and Cameron Street is located approximately 115 metres from the same location,” Hutton added. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor voted against the motion to reject the request. “I do understand that the lot is out-

side of the downtown parking commission area, but every area has to be served equally,” Rathor said. Council should reconsider the decision, buy the lot and turn it into a parking lot, Rathor suggested. If it was cleaned out and had decent parking spaces, it would improve the area too, he said, adding the purchase of the lot would be covered by the funds held collected by the downtown parking commission, not taxation.

First re-charge visitors fuel up at TRU station Jacquie Johnston

Special to The Tribune It’s easy being TRU-ly green. The Electric Vehicle charging stations at TRU in Williams Lake welcomed their first customers. Vincent and Maggie Argiro stopped in at TRU for a charge while exploring the Cariboo Chilcotin. Driving a Tesla Model S, the car is first of its kind in Western Canada and

averages 400km/ charge. The couple from Salt Spring Island is on a road trip that has taken them through Port Hardy to Bella Coola and up to Williams Lake. They have plans to head South through the Thompson Okanagan and into the United States before heading home. Their trip total is around 3000 kilometre and the couple plans to spend $0 on fuel.

The Argiro’s pride themselves on being environmentally friendly. “We care about our environment. We appreciate that the Telsa is a high performance vehicle and we didn’t have to compromise when we chose to go electric,” says Vincent Argiro. The two charging stations are currently running free of charge and are located at Thompson Rivers University – 1250 Western Avenue.

Debt clock makes stop in lakecity The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) will make a stop in Williams Lake during a 30-community, twoweek tour of its B.C. Debt Clock. Wanting to draw public attention to the province’s growing debt load, the CTF will share statistics and show off its Debt Clock at Tim Hortons on July 9 at from 11:30 to “B.C.’s provincial debt will grow by a billion dollars every single quarter over the next three years – even with so-called balanced budgets,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s British Columbia Director. “By 2016, today’s $57 billion debt will top $69.4 billion. We need to stop this clock.” B.C.’s debt grows by $209 per second,

$12,515 per minute, $750,913 per hour, $18 million per day and about a million dollars every 80 minutes. “Debt is a killer for future generations,” said Bateman. “It’s like putting our children and grandchildren a mile behind a marathon’s starting line.” Bateman noted that Premier Christy Clark has long supported balanced budgets and even ran on a “debt-free B.C.” platform in the May provincial election. “The Premier has talked the talk on debt reduction, but now it’s time to walk the walk,” said Bateman. “She needs to stand up against special interest groups looking for more tax money. Based on the election results, there’s clearly an appetite in

B.C. for the Premier to make good on her campaign promise of a debtfree B.C.” The iconic Debt Clock, adapted for B.C.’s provincial debt numbers, is 12 feet long and 5’6 feet high. It is housed in a customdesigned trailer that has crisscrossed the country over the past two years. Bateman said he’ll stop for a photo-op at Lac La Hache, probably just before 10 a.m. July 9.

For many motorists, the sight of a possible impaired driver swerving around the roads can leave a helpless feeling. And the sight of a possible impaired boater driving recklessly in the waters can leave you feeling defenseless. You may want to try and stop them, but you’re not sure if it’s an emergency worthy of a 911 call. A new campaign launched in Williams Lake is hoping to change that mindset in motorists and boaters Report Impaired Drivers, or RID, is a program to remind the public it’s OK to report an impaired driver or boater to 911. Programs encouraging the public to call 911 to report suspected impaired drivers and boaters have been successful in communities across British Columbia. Comprehensive RID 911 programs with appropriate signage in good locations, along with education and awareness about the programs, increase calls to report impaired driving and increased charges resulting from 911 calls.

Have fun camping and stay safe

nother successful Stampede weekend in Williams Lake, with nearly 16,000 people attending the rodeo alone over the four days! It was a lot of fun. On Friday, I met the Nemiah riders on Highway 20, and got to ride in a wagon for the last hour of the journey into the Stampede. It was great to see so many young people involved. It was great From the to host Mayor’s M L A Chair Donna Barnett Kerry Cook and Coralee Oakes, not only a neighbour (in Quesnel), but the cabinet minister responsible for local government at the Stampede. A big thank you to all those who made this a successful Stampede: the Stampede Association, the BIA, the Rotary clubs, Knights of Columbus, the Arts Society, and all those sponsors and volunteers who help make Williams Lake shine, not just at Stampede time, but all year long. Council has met with the Ministry of Forests, and will meet next week with forest licensees, as we formulate our position on a science-based review of the timber supply. Forestry has been a mainstay here for a long time, and we want to keep it a healthy, vibrant industry. Good news on that front, as West Fraser has recently taken out its building permit for the new planer mill, with a project value of $5.45 million. It’s fantastic to see West Fraser reinvesting in our city, and another sign of faith in the industry. We lost an amazing lady last week. I knew Audrey MacLise as a realtor (she sold us our first house), as a mentor, and as a strong seniors and community advocate. She walked the walk and lived out what she believed. Audrey was very well respected, and truly made a difference in our community. She will be very dearly missed. Performances in the Park kick off tonight and there will be great entertainers in Boitanio Park every Thursday night from now until Aug. 22. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Boost in security is coming News of a terrorism plot involving the B.C. legislature and pressure cookers filled with nails has sent shock waves through the province, and nowhere is the news hitting with more impact than in Victoria, where the iconic Parliament Buildings draw tourists year round. A Canada Day event there on Monday (the event the terrorists were targeting) attracted about 40,000 people to the legislative lawns. B.C. residents may say “it can’t happen here,” but it can and it does. People in Boston likely felt much the same about the Boston Marathon, before the bombing incident this year, which apparently inspired the B.C. couple alleged to be at the centre of this plot. Whether inspired by religion, politics or just mischief, acts of terror are on the rise in North America. Since the infamous acts of Sept. 11, 2001, a host of plots have been uncovered and several attacks, such as the Boston one, have actually been carried

out. Three people were killed and 170 injured in Boston. This has led to a dramatic increase in security at the borders and airports, in particular, but also at large public events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. The original budget for security at the Olympics was projected at $175 million. The actual cost was $900 million. Events such as Canada Day celebrations have not been seen as likely targets for acts of terror, but they do attract large crowds. Security has usually been pretty straightforward at such events. But it seems likely it will have to be boosted in the future, whether to ensure that wannabe terrorists have no chance to get near an event, or drunken partiers are barred from the grounds. We may not want more security, but as citizens we appreciate extra efforts to make us safe. - Black Press

ere in the Cariboo, we are lucky to have so many wonderful places to camp. Whether it’s scenic Lac La Hache Provincial Park, wild Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, or one of our local resorts, the Cariboo really is one of the most beautiful places in the world to spend a night under the stars. Campfires are a natural part of camping, but w h e n MLA we build Musings them, Donna Barnett we need to remember that safety is important. Unfortunately summer is not just camping season, it is also wildfire season. There have been several fires in the northwest region of our province, and B.C. Wildfire Management personnel have recently been deployed further north to help with forest fires in Alaska, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have campfires, but we do need to remember that wildfires can be dangerous. People are responsible for about half of the wildfires in B.C., so when we have campfires there are certain precautions we need to take to stay safe. When you build a campfire, make sure you choose your campsite carefully. Get rid of all the flammable material nearby — leaves, twigs, or anything else that may burn. Use the fire pit provided on your campsite or make a ring of rocks around the place you’re building your fire, and choose a spot at least 3 meters from trees, vegetation, or structures. Don’t leave your fire unattended at any point, and make sure it is completely extinguished before you leave or go to sleep; to put it out, douse the fire in water and make sure there are no embers left. If you’re out camping and you see a wildfire call 1-800-663-5555, or *5555 on your cellular phone to report it. Take the time to learn more about fire safety at bcwildfire.ca/prevention, and have a safe, fun, camping trip this summer. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Old school names still meet naming criteria Editor: I am glad to see that the controversy over the renaming of the schools has not died. I cannot understand why they required renaming. I have included an attachment, which is a page from my 1972 year book, and I think you’ll see the name Columneetza meets all the criteria set out by the body wanting a new name. The yearbook reads the following: “The word ‘Columneetza’ stems from the original inhabitants of this area: The Athapaskans. “They were a race of tall, fair people who migrated through Lytton, as far south as the Southern United States, to become the forefathers of the Navahoes and Apaches. “Columneetza, the name for our school, was submitted by Gib Scott and chosen as the best of all others entered by the school student body at the request of the current school

In Athapaskan, ‘Neetza’ means ‘princely people’ or ‘ruling house.’”

I think Lake City Secondary School is a “blah” name for our schools.

Question of the week How do you feel about Canadian security following the alleged terrorist plot in Victoria?

board. “Actually, the old name for Williams lake was ‘Columneetza,’ believe to be a garbled form of ‘Columneetza.’ “In Athapaskan, ‘Neetza’ means ‘princely people’ or ‘ruling house.’ “Since even then Williams Lake was the centre of the Cariboo district, it was the meeting place of the chiefs of all bands of the nation in this area. “’Columneetza’ was close to ‘cum to neetza,’ or, ‘meeting of the princely people.’ Suitable for Williams Lake, this name is also fitting for our school. “Built with concerted effort, Columneetza was the result of meticulous planning. “In 1964, an education workshop was held under the chairmanship of the local school su-

perintendent. “Since the team teaching concept was coming to the fore in educational circles, a study was made of this new approach in education. “A thesis was presented to school trustees and several committees were formed to visit new schools in the Pacific Northwest using the team teaching technique. “Architects Carlberg, Jackson, Partners, of New Westminster, were charged with drawing up plans for Williams Lake’s new senior secondary school. Construction of Columneetza was started in the fall of 1966 and the school was officially opened in May of 1967.” Alverna Morben Williams Lake

Different Cariboo weather could be here to stay I’m writing this on Sunday. If the weather forecasters were correct, the last few days should have been scorchers. Hot July days are nothing new, but weather patterns for the last few years, even in the Cariboo, have been a tad unusual. Certainly world wide, even Canada wide, the weather has been changing. According to reports the warming in the north is alarming, and more and more scientists are joining the climate

change clubs, warning that “different” weather is here to stay. I wonder when the politicians will catch on? *** Another Stampede come and gone.

Watching the parade on Saturday, I couldn’t help thinking of by-gone days. How many remember the city floats? I think it was Jim Fraser’s council that rode saddle horses in the parade. There was the float with the inflatable bull, nobody wanted to be seen with it, and then we had the blue cowboy hat. This time Mayor Cook was the lone council member in the city vehicle while city council-

lors Ivan Bonnell and Geoff Bourdon were parading on foot when I saw them. I couldn’t help noticing fewer people dress western anymore. Is that a sign we need rebranding? *** Some members of our family travelled to Fort St. John a week ago to attend the wedding of GS#2. It was a lovely wedding, and the sun shone at appropriate times. It may have established an

odd tradition, though. The groom was late for the ceremony because his vehicle had a flat tire. When this news reached the waiting guests, his maternal grandmother and I burst out laughing. His father (S#1) was late for his wedding because of a flat tire. The guests were not kept waiting as long this time because GD#2 had cell phone (non-existent in his dad’s day) but what a weird coincidence.

Lakecity teams sweep Stampede rugby Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer History was made Sunday at the Williams Lake Stampede Rugby Tournament when Williams Lake teams, for the first time in the event’s 33-year existence, swept all of the tournament’s divisions. For the Williams Lake Rustlers men’s side the tournament win signalled the end of a 30year drought — they first won it in 1983 — and also the club’s second championship buckle in its storied history. The Williams Lake Hustlers ladies’ squad also etched its name on the division’s championship trophy for the fourth consecutive time — a feat never before accomplished at the tournament. And, in the 40-plus Old Boys Division, Williams Lake survived a brutally physical matchup against Abbotsford to win 10-5 and take the championship. The Williams Lake Rustlers men’s team battled through two days of gruelling play to remain undefeated heading into Sunday’s playoff matches, setting up a meeting with Vancouver’s Meralomas Rugby Club in the final. After Williams Lake went up 14-0 in the first half, the Meralomas gave the Rustlers just about everything they could handle in the second frame, scoring three consecutive times to go up 1914 with time winding down. The two clubs then traded tries — Williams Lake scored its final two tries off of kick returns — to tie it 24-24 in the dying seconds of regulation. In overtime, a better ending couldn’t have been written when the Rustlers’ Anthony Faggiani pounded the ball to the Meralomas’ line and through a sea of bodies on the final play of the game to score and give the Rustlers a 29-24 win. Rustlers player Riley Ilnicki said it was one of the toughest and most special games he’s been a part of. “We started really well then full credit to the Meralomas,” Ilnicki said. “They had a really good side and they came back well and pushed us to the limits.” Rustlers captain Nathan Stewart said the Meralomas got back in the game by switching

Hustlers four-peat as champs Continued From Page A14 “We asked the guys to be able to focus on the discipline and structure, to be able to keep their minds going on defense and use all the strategies on offense and it worked to a tee,” he said. “We drove it up to the line through a series of phases, got it setup and then Anthony manages to make the roll around the end to put it on the ground. Phenomenal.” Men’s most valuable player went to the Rustlers’ Kane Wyatt — a University of Victoria Vikings rugby player here working for the summer. Wyatt scored once in the final for the Rustlers. “Kane Wyatt — I

don’t know what that guy is built out of,” Rodger said following the final. Ilnicki added the Rustlers wouldn’t have been successful if it weren’t for everyone who came out to play for the team on the weekend. “We wouldn’t have got here without our full squad,” he said. “We had lots of subs and lots of local guys come out.” “It was a full team effort,” added longtime Rustlers player and coach, Todd Pritchard. “Everybody had to be at their best for us to succeed and they were.” The Rustlers beat Capilano (26-10), Grand Prairie (35-12), Burnaby (20-5) and Abbotsford (57-0) en route to the final.

In the ladies’ final the Hustlers used speed to overcome a strong Capilano side, 10-5, to win the buckle. The Hustlers said this year’s final was one of the most competitive in recent history. Capilano cut a 10-0 Hustlers lead in half and continued to pressure in Williams Lake’s end when the final whistle sounded to end the game. Sheridan Davis scored the winning try for Williams Lake. Paul Carnes, head coach of the Hustlers, said the key to the win was getting on the scoreboard early. “They out muscled us and everything but the girls had grit and I think by scoring a couple of tries early they were able to ce-

ment the victory,” Carnes said. “The game started to slow down there toward the end with the scrums and it was favouring them so we had to try to keep the ball moving. It was close.” He said winning the championships four years in a row is no small feat and one the team is proud of. “It’s well deserved,” he said. “We had some smaller numbers this year but four in a row is quite an accomplishment. They’re a special group of girls.” Women’s most valuable player went to the Rustlers’ Kelsey Bisaro. The Hustlers path to the final consisted of wins over the Vixens (46-0), the Scrumbags (19-0) and United (46-0).

SPORTS Crash to Pass and All Class Invitational crowd pleasers Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Hundreds of fans flocked to Thunder Mountain Speedway on the weekend for its biggest weekend of racing of the year. And, this year’s events didn’t disappoint. Friday night fans were treated to a freefor-all of carnage, mayhem and wreckage as around 12 drivers, mostly local, pushed their cars to the brink of a trip to the scrap yard in the Crash to Pass extravaganza, Smoke Show and King of the Hill event. “We had a great weekend of racing,” said Annaka Richter, pit boss and secretary treasurer with Thunder Mountain Speedway. Williams Lake’s Brian Bettles, and what was left of his car, limped across the finish line to hang on to become this year’s Crash to Pass champion. Shortly behind was Quesnel’s Jason Howlett. Kelly McDonald, the only female in the race, placed third.

In the smoke show competition — where fans got to pick the winner by giving them their loudest ovation — it was Mike Wilson melting a set of tires off his pickup truck to earn the title. Then on Saturday, 32 racers from around the province arrived in Williams Lake to compete at the All Class Invitational, also the first race in the TriCities Series — a series of three races between Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George. And lakecity drivers, competing in each of Thunder Mountain Speedway’s racing classes including bone stock, pro-mini and street stock, held their own in a deep field of drivers. Fast times of the day went to Williams Lake’s George Giesbrecht (bone stock), Tim Westwick (street stock) and Agassiz’s Bill Beasley (pro-mini). Additionally, Giesbrecht broke his previous track record, posting a 19.216 second time. In the five-lap tro-

phy dash it was Williams Lake’s Sean Kelly picked up the checkered flag in the bone stock event, while local Steve Jefferson won the street stock race. In the promini class Williams Lake’s Allen Roberts picked up the dash win. In the heat event, only the bone stock race was held due to rain where Terry Braman of Quesnel took the victory. Another driver was injured Saturday and was taken to hospital, but Richter said he is being treated and is getting better. Once the rain stopped TMS hosted its main events of the evening in each of its three classes. There, in the bone stock main event, Chris Closson of Quesnel came out of nowhere to take the checkered flag. Bill Beasley followed up on his fast qualifying time from earlier in the night by doubling up to take the main event win in the pro-mini division, while Fort St. John’s Jarret Bond won the street stock event. “We had some down-

main event because it takes some dedicated fans to sit out one of those,” Richter said. “That main event

was kind of like a race within a race because it was our street stock main event and the TriCities Series opener.”

Coming up at Thunder Mountain Speedway is its Christmas in July event, scheduled for July 27 at 5 p.m.

Williams Lake’s Mitch Cheek, who owns and operates SoloS Productions, will be holding a workshop focused on the basics of film making and editing. The workshop begins at 10 a.m. at the Community Arts Centre in Williams Lake. It will begin with a general discussion on mountain

bike film making then participants will head out to Fox Mountain to learn how to position shots and to get the best use from different types of cameras, including GoPros. The workshop will return indoors in the afternoon to review the basics of film editing on Final Cut Pro and IMovie. Film festival participants will be charged $5 for participating, and the registration deadline in July 7. E-mail info@ridethecariboo.ca to sign up or visit www.ridethecariboo.ca for more details.

Drug Mart — for making the first Ride Don’t Hide event such a tremendous success,” said CMHA Cariboo Chilcotin branch executive director Trevor Barnes. “It was truly inspiring to see so many people come out to support their family members, friends, coworkers, neighbours – anyone living with mental illness.” For CMHA BC CEO Bev Gutray, the event demonstrates the positive shift in how Canadians view mental illness and those living with mental health issues. “I’m proud to see that the Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide has been so well received and is helping people become even more comfortable openly discussing mental illness,” Gutray said. “Next year we hope to substantially increase the number of participating communities as we look to eventually make this a national event.” Shoppers Drug

The Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and SoloS Productions’ Mitch Cheek are teaming up to host a mountain biking film workshop in Williams Lake July 7.

Ride Don’t Hide raises $400,000 provincially Nearly 2,200 cyclists in 13 communities across B.C. came together to help the Canadian Mental Health Association surpass its $400,000 fundraising goal in its first ever province-wide Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide event. In Williams Lake organizers said by all accounts the first ever Ride Don’t Hide was a success. The money raised from this year’s ride will go toward programs to support mental health for women and families, including the creation of a new “Enjoy Your Baby” program; a course that helps new mothers cope with the stress and anxiety that can follow childbirth. The event was held on Sunday, June 23 across B.C., as well as in York Region — an area north of Toronto, Ont. In Williams Lake, 34 cyclists participated in the community ride, raising nearly $3,000. “I would like to thank everyone — especially our event sponsor Shoppers

Andrea Cass, AMP Mortgage Broker

Mart Ride Don’t Hide was inspired by Vancouver school teacher Michael Schratter, who cycled 40,000 kilometres around the world through 33 countries to battle mental illness stigma. Shoppers Drug Mart heard about Schrat-

ter’s journey and committed to becoming a sponsor in B.C. CMHA is still accepting donations online at www.ridedonthide.com or through the CMHACC branch. Call 1-800555-8222 for more information.

These young bikers from the Tl’etinqox-t’in (Anaham) Indian Band travelled for ﬁve days down Highway 20 from Alexis Creek to arrive in Williams Lake for Stampede. Here they are seen riding in the Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade on Saturday morning.

Youth ride from Alexis Creek to Stampede Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer About 50 young bicyclists and horse riders made their way down Highway 20 to Williams Lake from Alexis Creek last week. The group started Sunday, June 23 and arrived in town the Thursday before Stampede.

“It’s about youth. Our youth are important,” said Cecil Grinder, a councillor with the Tl`etinqox-t`in, or Anaham, Indian Band. “This is tradition, following our traditions,” Grinder said. For many, this was once the only way to travel to town for Stampede, or for any other reason.

The riders from many different bands, Anaham, Stone, Alexandria, Toosie, Alkali, and even a youth from Fort St. James, camped each night along the road. Cooks travelled ahead and some form of nightly entertainment was provided for the riders. Some nights fiddlers

played, other nights featured games of Lahal, a traditional guessing game, and other nights those travelling made their own entertainment with hand drums and instruments on hand. Bike experts from Red Shreds inspected the bicycles and gave the youth a safety

course before they left from Anaham, Grinder said. Also with them were bike experts and even a “horse whisperer.” Another group of youth, this time from Nemiah Valley, also ventured into town for stampede. The Xeni Gwet’in wagon and horse riders, however, travelled back roads for much of their journey and arrived in town on Friday.
