The Bella Bella RCMP confirm that the July 12 structure fire at the local Band Store business building occurred as a result of a fire being human set. Three young girls ages 13, 15 and 16, all from the community were arrested within hours of the initial fire and police response, shortly after the incident. RCMP and fire investigators will forward a report of their findings to the Crown for their review, in order to determine whether charges against the girls are appropriate.

CRD will present at panel hearings Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond said when he makes a presentation on behalf of the board for the New Prosperity environmental review hearings he’ll talk about the economic value the project would bring the Cariboo Chilcotin, but he will also be very firm that environmental standards cannot be compromised. “We’re not going to say that it should be approved at all costs, I don’t think anyone would,” Richmond said. “We also want to find some solutions to work with the communities that are directly impacted and find solutions for the concerns they’ve expressed.” At its regular board meeting Friday, July 12, the CRD board passed a motion to make a presentation to the environmental review panel. Various directors spoke for or against the board making a pre-

sentation. Area E director Byron Kemp argued in favour, saying it’s an important project for the region. “The way things are deteriorating right now within our areas as far as economics go, and I know having lived out in that area, and listening to presentations we have had on the project, that it would be very much in order for us to bring a presentation forward,” he said. Area J Director Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William said he would prefer that the CRD board remain neutral. “I don’t think anyone here has a feel for what their constituents think about this,” William said. “I’ve been involved with this mine since the 1990s. When we went to the panel hearings in 2010 we heard there were a lot of people against the project and since then there have been a lot of concerns.” Area F director Joan Sorley said she hoped the board would

remain neutral. “If we are not going to support our First Nations constituents who are opposed to this project, I think at least we should remain neutral,” Sorley said. “In the communities that I represent we know first hand what happens when other interests try to come in and impose their objectives on the community.” Director Bischoff agreed the board should remain neutral and said the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency should be left to do its job. Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook said in some of her conversations, chiefs and community members have told her they understand the city’s position in supporting the project as long as it meets the environmental approval. “New Prosperity could have a huge economic impact for the city and the region. I think we would be remiss not to provide some type of submission, but the

challenge is in the wording of the submission,” Cook said. “What I don’t want to see happen is to take away from any of the good work that has happened to move forward with relationships with First Nations.” Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom said making a presentation is not taking a stand. “I think we’re showing leadership by saying we know we have economic difficulties,” Sjostrom said. “We’re doing a presentation on behalf of the City of Quesnel and we’re not going in there to say we are adamantly supporting this. We will be saying we support the process and I don’t think by staying silent we would be sending the right message.” Area L director John Rattray said the board needs to be “very” careful not to send the wrong message.

NEWS Independent police investigation unit chief visits Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer So far 32 cases have fallen within the B.C.’s Independent Investigative Office’s mandate, said chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal while on tour in Williams Lake last week. “I remember on Sept. 9, 2012, I asked one of my team directors, can we do this because we could have a fatal officer involved shooting in Prince George tomorrow,” Rosenthal recalled. On Sept. 10, the IIO was called to a fatal officer-involved shooting in Prince George. Twelve people went up to investigate that night. The IIO has a specific mandate to investigate officer-involved incidents that result in serious harm or death. Officers are defined as police officers, special constables, conservation officers, and sheriffs who are operating as special provincial constables going code three and transporting prisoners. “Anyone who uses force during the course of their employment we investigate,” Rosenthal said. From the beginning three goals were determined by the IIO. First off, the office promised thorough, complete and fair inves-

Rosenthal said when he arrived in Canada, the media advertised him as a “hard-nosed” American prosecutor who had arrived to “police the police.” “The problem was,

that the first time that I exonerated officers in a controversial incident that would all go away and suddenly it would be, ‘oh he got in bed with the police’ or the government ‘ushered him into getting along.’” Through public reporting, Rosenthal said he can explain his decisions thoroughly. So far the IIO has closed 11 cases. Eight were done by public report, while some have been closed without public report because if the case goes to Crown and Crown doesn’t lay charges, then it is up to Crown to issue

a report. “The idea behind that is once I review an investigation I have to review it to determine whether or not an officer has committed a criminal offence,” Rosenthal explained. “If I believe that he or she may have, then I must refer it to Crown and Crown maintains its independence to determine its conclusion.”

If Rosenthal determines an officer has not committed a criminal offence, then he can close the report. Initially the IIO struggled with this and Rosenthal asked what would happen if he determined that an officer did commit a criminal offence but Crown determined it was not enough to lay charges. “We decided that’s Crown’s decision, not mine, and Crown will need to explain themselves,” he said. To date Rosenthal has referred five cases to Crown. Two have been closed by Crown with no charges laid. One was a bar fight out of Creston and another was a motor vehicle incident out of Campbell River. The other three are pending and include an officer involved shooting from Cranbrook that was referred two months ago, an officer involved shooting from New Westminster, and a use of force case out of Port Alberni.

Mayor and staff tour Pinnacle Pellet Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Clad in safety vests and hard hats, the mayor, a councillor and senior staff recently toured Pinnacle Pellet in Williams Lake. One of the first questions asked was where does the smoke come from? “That’s the question that everyone asks,” said plant manager Ron Myhre during the tour. “It’s basically steam and small fine particulates from the drying process.” About 90 per cent of the steam is water vapour drying out of the fibre used to make the pellets. Depending on how hot the drier is, if there are particulates in there that are small and too dry, they will actually burn and you’ll see a small flash, said Lorne Davies, director of safety environment. “Because the particulates are so small, when they show up in the sunlight sometimes they will be blue. That gives you what we call smoke. It’s actually like the drier exhaust you see coming out of your house,” Davies said.

When the fibre is pushed through the die to make the pellets it is compressed about nine times, he explained. “As a result of that pressure we actually crush the wood cells, but there is nothing added to the fibre, no glue, no chemicals, nothing.” The company measures its emissions through stack tests conducted every quarter. “The first half of the test is everything that gets caught in the filter and the second half is the very small stuff, like the particulates,” Myhre said. Emissions also pass through a large bag house, similar to a vacuum cleaner, before they go out into the air, he added. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said the city receives more smoke complaints about Pinnacle Pellet than any other industry in Williams Lake, but said those complaints have lessened in the last couple of years. Myrhe responded that a number of changes have been made to clean up the plant, including installing a large fence to keep

fugitive dust contained. “We’re also working on getting a hood to attach to the end of our tipper this year and we’re also looking at another compound to store fibre,” he said. Pinnacle has planted some trees on site to act as a filter, and is hoping to install more sprinkling systems and pave more areas. “Depending on the day and the weather, we sometimes see the valley filled with smoke,” Rathor said. “What precautions can you take to eliminate more smoke?” he asked. Myrhe said presently engineering is underway to build a stack that is 40 metres taller or twice the height of the existing one. He did not want to give a hard date for the new stack, but said Pinnacle has been working on the plans since last fall. “The stack has been made, we’re just waiting for the foundation plans to be completed, and then we will come to the city with a full plan that you guys can see,” Myrhe said. The plant runs between five to six loaded rail cars a day, three

City staff, mayor and council hear first hand about Pinnacle Pellet’s operations in Williams Lake during a tour of the facility on July 9. per shift, or 600 metric tons. It takes 30 B-train loads a day to maintain production, seven days a week, with fibre coming from 11 mills throughout the region, six in the Williams Lake area. The plant in Williams Lake produces 200,000 metric tons of pellets a year which represents a sixth of the company’s entire output from all of its plants.

In 2004, the plant was developed in Williams Lake predominantly to serve the overseas market in Western Europe’s big utility companies. “At the time it was considered a pioneering effort,” said Pinnacle’s vice president of business development Craig Lodge. “Unlike Canada, Europe doesn’t have an abundance of fossil fuels so a lot of European

companies who were using coal but wanting to gain some environmental improvements started experimenting with firing wood pellets.” Less than five per cent of Pinnacle’s overall market goes to homes through what’s called the “bag market.” Representatives from those markets also come and inspect the site in Williams Lake

regularly to make sure the company is meeting corporate goals. Mayor Kerry Cook said the tour was initiated by Myrhe. “I had met with him a month or so ago,” Cook recalled. “I thought the tour was very informative. It was good to see new capital improvements in place.” Cook also said Pinnacle Pellet will appear as a delegation to city council in the fall.

Special investigator an asset: Rosenthal Continued From Page A2 “Unlike the normal police referral standard where police refer a case if they believe the charges should be laid,” Rosenthal said. “Mine’s a lower standard than that — mine is only if I consider an officer may have committed an offence.” Often the IIO only performs the first step. Even if an officer did

not commit a criminal offence, he or she may not have followed policy and procedure which means the agency may have to examine conduct, training and tactical issues. “So the investigation may not be over, that’s what happened in Prince George,” Rosenthal said. “I determined the officers involved did not commit a criminal offence but there

were questions about decision making so the RCMP opened up an investigation as well.” Presently the office, located in Surrey, has four teams of seven investigators and 22 support staff. Teams are on call 24 hours a day. Each team is on primary call one week a month and secondary call another week a month. “We had a day where

we had two calls in one day so both teams were out and we had to set up a third team on call,” Rosenthal recalled. The office also has an affected persons investigator who ensures affected family is treated appropriately and given the right resources and information. She’s assigned to all the teams, and two more investigators have been trained as back up. In every case where

there’s a need, the affected persons investigator will help families walk through the process. “It’s been very effective because in the past there has been lots of criticism from families who felt as though they are being treated like criminals too,” Rosenthal said. He’s also had an officer on the integrated homicide team tell him before the IIO was es-

tablished, he was spending 75 per cent of his work centred on critical incident investigations. “He told me he goes back to this group today and they are doing cold homicide investigations that he never had a chance to look at because they now have the resources to put into those cases.” Originally Rosenthal was drawn to the job because he saw there was a political will to

make the IIO a success. The police in B.C. were involved, civil rights groups showed support and the government was willing to put resources into the office, he said. He had fought entrenched police bureaucracies in the U.S., found it took a decade to get anywhere. “I looked and saw that everyone was supportive and thought, oh wow.”

Region divided: Richmond Continued From Page A1 “Mayor Cook is correct that it’s tough to get that message right,” Rattray said. “I’m concerned and believe the safest way to go is to not participate in the hearings because that’s one way of ensuring not to get the message wrong.” Rattray also said he cannot speak on behalf of his constituents because they are split. Area I director Jim Glassford said because the board represents everyone in the region, it has to go through the process. “If it’s not environmentally sound they will either change it or it won’t go,” he said. “If the project is environmentally friendly and does move ahead it will be an economic driver

for the region.” Richmond said the Cariboo Chilcotin is divided on the project, both within First Nations and non-First Nations, and he does not think the CRD can

clearly articulate what the community wants. “I think we will have to rely on the hearings to take it into context and rationalize what the reality is,” Richmond said.

The General Public Hearing sessions are scheduled to take place in Williams Lake July 22-25 in the Gibraltar Room of the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The deadline to reg-

public hearing

ister as a participant for the General Hearing sessions was July 15. Further information about the Federal environmental assessment process is available online at ceaa-acee.gc.ca.

7:00 pm, July 24, 2013, at the 150 Mile house Fire hall at 3038 pigeon road The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has received an application to amend Williams Lake Fringe and 150 Mile House Area Zoning Bylaw No. 3502, 1999 by rezoning the property described below: Bylaw No. 4819 Lots 1 and 2, District Lot 12, Cariboo District, Plan BCP49130, from General Industrial (M 2) zone to Special Exception M 2-2 zone (minimum lot size – 4,000 sq. m) (maximum density - 4 lots possible for Lot 1, five lots possible for Lot 2 – not proposed for subdivision). Purpose for Rezoning: to rezone in order to allow the storage and processing of logs into timber value-added structures. The subject property is located at 3035 Cariboo Highway 97, as shown on the sketch plan below, and is owned by Zirnhelt Timber Frames Ltd.

Public hearings are for all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaws. The public hearings are to be held by a delegate of the Cariboo Regional District Board. A copy of the CRD resolution is available for public inspection. Written submissions regarding the proposed bylaw will also be received. These submissions may be submitted at the public hearing or should be received in the Cariboo Regional District office at 180 D North 3rd Avenue, Williams Lake, BC, V2G 2A4, (fax number 392-2812) fortyeight hours prior to the hearing. No further information or representations can be considered by the CRD Board after the public hearing. The bylaw and an information package may be inspected at the Cariboo Regional District office at 180 D North 3rd Avenue, Williams Lake, BC, between 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, from July 12, 2013 to July 24, 2013 inclusive (excepting public holidays).

DID YOU

85TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION MEETING March 15, 2014 will be the City of Williams Lake’s 85th birthday. Monday night in Council Chambers members of local service clubs gathered together to discuss how to celebrate the upcoming event. A consensus was drawn by the group and a second meeting is set for Monday July 29, 2013 at 6 p.m. in the downstairs Rick Hansen boardroom at City Hall to determine a theme and establish a calendar of events. Representation from local service clubs and organizations are welcome to attend the second planning meeting to contribute feedback and ideas. Rather than asking local service clubs and organizations to commit to another event on top of what they already annually host for the community it is hoped that all the groups can work together under the same theme next year to celebrate the City’s birthday. Currently the proposed idea is a theme of peace and harmony in our community. Potentially March 15, 2014 will be the kick off date followed by monthly events hosted by different groups working together under one theme. Ideas for events are: a birthday tea, carnival, family barn dance, wagon rides, fireworks, Snowbirds, casino/dance, reunion of pioneers, and First Nations games tournament.

The cat days of summer If cats have nine lives then I wager our cat Java has about three left. Six times he’s been rescued from riding on the roof of our truck. As we’ve exited Broadway Avenue South on to Highway 97, motorists have hailed us down, honked horns and waved frantically to let us know, “there’s a little black cat on the roof of your truck.” His most recent escapade was this morning. Seconds afCat ter I endays of tered the highway summer I heard Monica Lamb-Yorski a horn honking. After checking the rearview mirror and noticing there were no vehicles on the highway near me, I wondered if Java was on the roof, and pulled over. My husband jumped out and returned instantly with a very scared and loudly meowing black manx in his arms. Java’s ears were straight back and looking sheepish, if a cat can. We waved too late to thank the guys in the truck. Normally we check to make sure Java isn’t on the roof, and my husband said he had, but we have a car port and are convinced sometimes he leaps on from the roof to the top of the truck when we are leaving. We adopted Java a few months after we moved to Williams Lake. Our landlord asked if we knew anyone who wanted a kitty and we said if our other cat Mooch would accept him we would take him in. Mooch is grey, large and mellow for the most part. He loves to sit on the truck, but unlike Java, Mooch will jump off the moment someone starts the engine. But then Java is more adventurous. We’ve seen him two or three blocks away from home, hunting in the ditches or walking along the side of the road. Recently we heard he’s invited himself in to eat at a house in the neighbourhood where another cat lives. Guess I best tell them to check their car roof too.

Our Viewpoint

Take extra care for a safe summer Summer seems to be the season of senseless – and sometimes tragic – accidents. A jogger is hit by a train at a busy and well-marked crossing along White Rock’s waterfront. A child falls from a window left open to capture a cooling breeze. A swimmer dives into a shallow pool of water and never resurfaces. These kinds of tragic fatalities seem to happen year after year, in communities across the province. And they especially resonate because they often involve people doing activities we’re all pursuing in the halcyon days of summer. Enjoying the outdoors. Being active. Getting away. Staying cool. But just because we’re slowing down to enjoy the season doesn’t mean we can let down our guard

when it comes to staying safe. Traffic may be diminished, but it’s still dangerous. The water at the swimming hole may be inviting and refreshing, but dangers lurk beneath the surface. Beers on the back deck or at the campsite are just as intoxicating as those consumed in the pub on a Friday night. Of course, more people are out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures, so the odds are higher that accidents are likely to occur. But the zeal to get out, to maximize our enjoyment of these rare sunny months before the winter rains and chill settle in again sometimes lead to lapses in judgment. Seemingly inconsequential acts

like leaving a window open, rolling through a stop sign, not looking both ways before crossing a street, or ignoring a prominentlyplaced warning notice can come with huge consequences. Sometimes even fatal ones. British Columbians love the outdoors. Partly because there’s so much of it at our doorstep and it’s so beautiful. Partly because we spend so much of the year seeking shelter from it when rain and snow fall from the sky. But no matter where your summer takes you and your family – whether it’s to the beach or the cabin, to any number of vacation destinations, or even if you’re just relaxing at home, just remember to be careful out there.

It’s the season for farmers’ markets, and I can’t think of a better way of spending a lovely summer morning or afternoon here in the Cariboo than visiting a local market and picking up some fresh produce for the week. Farme r s ’ MLA markets Musings are a great Donna Barnett place to meet people, get to know your community, and maybe find some food you didn’t know was grown locally, or some crafts you didn’t know were made right here. With live music and a great atmosphere, visiting a local market is always fun. We have some excellent markets here in Williams Lake, like the Williams Lake Farmers Market in Boitanio Park every Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., or the Oliver Street Market at the Old Courthouse Square on Fridays from 4 to 9 p.m. If you’ve never been to these markets, or haven’t been in a while, head down this Friday – you’re in for a treat! Farmers’ markets also encourage people to buy local, which is great for the local economy, great for the community, and great for the environment. More and more people in B.C. are shopping at farmers’ markets, and the number of markets has more than doubled over the past ten years. According to the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, farmers markets across the province contributed $170 million in economic benefits last year – that’s a lot of money, and represents a 146 per cent increase since 2006. This is all great news, for our farmers and for consumers too. So this week, instead of getting all your groceries at the supermarket, why not stop by the farmers’ market and buy something grown by our local farmers – and don’t forget about BC Farmers Appreciation Week in the second week of September! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

More Viewpoints Retired teacher chides Question of the week new secondary school name What do you think Editor:

I was in Columneetza Secondary School at the end of the school year and saw teachers packing up their teaching materials and moving them to the other high school, whatever its name is now. I guess that is the last time I will be in Columneetza as it is being “reconfigured” and hav-

ing its name changed. Maybe changing names is a good idea! I could think of a few to change. How about Williams Lake? That name has been around too long and has two words in it. Who wants a town name with two words in it! Let’s change it to something new.

Lake City has two words in it too so we don’t want that either. Lakeville might be a good name! Or maybe we could have a contest! — then change it to Lakeville anyway. Don’t you think The Lakeville Tribune has a nice ring to it? Reg Beck Williams Lake

The Junior Council of Williams Lake is a group of high school students from Grades 1012 that suggest ideas that could enhance life for youth in the city. Junior Council members are appointed by city council and provide a youth voice to decisions made by the city. It is an opportunity to learn about and participate in the process of local government. Each year Junior Council sets learning goals and then chooses a project to work on. In 2011/12

Junior Council received group facilitator and leadership training and then led a workshop for adults on youth engagement and hosted a full day youth forum. In 2012/13 Junior Council has been working on planning to develop a public outdoor ice rink for the community to use. They hope the next Junior Council will continue to work on this project. “City council has been impressed by the enthusiasm and ideas of our Junior Councils,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “I encourage anyone with an interest in local government with ideas to share to apply. We’re looking forward to the next Junior Council term!” Those interested are asked to

submit an application explaining why you are interested and why you think you would be a good choice for Junior Council. Include your name, address, phone number, school, and grade (Sept. 2013).

focus on geology, hydro geology, aquatic, terrestrial and human environments. Taseko Mines Ltd. will make its presentation on geology and hydro geology on Thursday, July 25 at 7 p.m. The panel said it will try to accommodate all participants wishing to make an oral presentation but priority will be given to people who have registered in advance, with the greatest priority given to Interested Parties. A daily agenda outlining the

schedule of presentations will be provided at the end of this week. The Tribune encourages everyone to take in the hearings and or make a submission if they feel inspired. The panel has also said people can submit thoughts in writing up until Aug. 23 as well. For the next few weeks residents of the Cariboo-Chilcotin can have their say.

Electronics store one step closer Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A new electronics store is one step closer to going ahead in Williams Lake. On Tuesday evening city council gave third readings to two bylaws that will help plans for an Andre’s Electronics in Williams Lake move forward. They include an amendment to the official community plan and rezoning that will affect the lots at 1148 Broadway Ave. South and 1137 Lakeview Crescent. During a public hearing on the bylaws, applicant Andre Blanleil of Blanleil Cranbrook Holdings Ltd. was the only person who addressed council. Blanleil said he purchased Sight and Sound in Williams Lake with plans to relocate it from the corner of Oliver Street and Third Avenue and build a larger store at

Andre Blanleil plans to open an Andre’s Electronics in Williams Lake on Broadway Avenue South. 1148 Broadway Avenue South. “We see huge opportunity for rural markets in the north. We purchased 100 Mile last year, we’re opening a store in Quesnel in the future and Terrace in the near future.”

His company has been around for 38 years with 18 stores. Blanleil plans to invest approximately $1 million in the new building. “As well we’ll be investing $750,000 to $1 million a year in wages, marketing` and all

the things that will make us part of the community,” he said. “I think we will help make this a regional market.” Addressing concerns raised throughout the application process by Coun. Danica Hughes about the store moving out of the downtown core, Blanleil said he looked at trying to keep the store in its present location, but explained he needs 6,000 square feet, high ceilings and big doors to accommodate moving appliances in and out. “We happen to see this as a bonus for downtown. To have more people shopping in your community stops them from going to Prince George or Kamloops or anywhere they want to go to shop,” Blanleil said. In comparison to the stores in Quesnel and 100 Mile House, the store in Williams Lake will be twice the

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Thursday, July 18 Local riders open for musical ride

Tara Sprickerhoff photo

The Cariboo Cowgirls thunder past each other during this year’s first Stampede performance. The ladies will also be performing tonight at the Stampede Grounds to open for the RCMP Musical Ride.

Cariboo Cowgirls ride tonight Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Those who attend the Williams Lake Stampede on a yearly basis are familiar with the Cariboo Cowgirls, a local horse drill team that powers through the arena often at full speed, carrying flapping flags and performing difficult manoeuvres to music on their welltrained horses. The women who ride for the Cariboo Cowgirls come from all walks of life. Nurses, accountants, teachers, students and foster parents make up the ranks of the drill team, but they all have one thing in common: a passion for horses and the ability to ride them. Vice-president of the team, Jen Wintjes, had always loved horses while growing up in North Vancouver. In fact, her dream was always to “get a pick-up truck and a horse.” When she moved to the Cariboo four years ago and saw the Cowgirls’ glow in the dark show at the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo, she immediately knew she wanted to join. “I showed up with my English saddle and everything. I didn’t even have a Western saddle at the time,” she says. As the team is always looking for good riders and good horses,

Greg Sabatino photo

The Cowgirls perform a variety of manoeuvres on their horses, during which timing and spacing is always key. Wintjes got involved right away, and eventually bought tack to fit what she wanted to do. “Our coach, John Young, has a standard for us which is a high bar,” she says, adding that when she first joined she didn’t ride the performance drill for an entire year because she was working on bringing her skills up to par. “I was willing to persevere through it and now I’m leading a

side,” she says. The team has about 14 active riders who range in ages from 12 to their late 50s, including Wintjes and her daughter, Melanie, 15. It takes a lot of commitment to ride for the team, said Wintjes. The riders practice twice a week, on Thursday and Sunday evenings, but the Cowgirls must also put in a lot of extra effort training their horses to bond with their riders

and getting used to the various props and manoeuvres the team uses. Melanie spent two years training her horse Breeze to work at a speed she could control. During that time she would repeat different exercises, correcting when her horse would make a mistake as well as running the horse in circles and waiting until she would follow her around loose. “It’s called join up,” Wintjes says. Melanie adds: “You then have a connection with your horse and they’ll actually trust you and follow you around.” Not only do riders need connections with their horses, they must also work on teamwork at the practises. “When you ride with a certain partner for some moves then you know how they’re gonna respond, how close you can get to them, how far away they like to be,” Wintjes says. At practise coach John Young runs a warm up, and practises the ladies’ grand entry as well as their main drill, concentrating on making sure the horses are moving properly, as well as getting them used to other horses and the drill. See COWGIRLS Page A10

The Cariboo Cowgirls, Wild West Riders and Little Britches will open the show for the RCMP Musical Ride performance in the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds Thursday evening. During the day, until performance time at 6:30 p.m., the horse stalls will also be open for public viewing. Thirty-six riders, 36 horses, a farrier, a technical production manager and three noncommissioned officers travel with the Musical Ride on tour. The highlight of the Musical Ride is, without a doubt, the CHARGE when lances, with their red and white pennons, are lowered and the riders and their mounts launch into the gallop. Advance tickets for the Musical Ride are available at Cariboo GM, Margetts Meats, J & E Gifts, Taylor Made Cakes and Sweets and the Williams Lake RCMP Detachment office. The tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Tickets will also be available at the gate.

A total of 176 vintage and unique cars and motorcycles were polished up for the car and bike show held in 100 Mile House.

Hot July Nights a sizzling success Arlene Jongbloets Black Press The annual 100 Mile House Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show was an impressive gathering of power and polish as 176 vehicles lined up for the public to admire in Centennial Park on July 14. It was around a 13 per cent increase over 2012 registrations and it has co-ordinators revving their engines on the show’s success. “It was an absolute success, with more cars and spectators than we’ve every had,” says Jim Williscroft, event spokesperson and president of the 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club. “I’m extremely happy with comments from people from out of town who said they’d never seen a nicer place for a car show.” Even the weather held out until the end of the show when skies eventually opened up

with rain. A total of $712.50 in cash donations was collected at the registration table, and given to the 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre Society. Spectators had the opportunity to vote for their favourites in a number of categories, and the winners were: Cars Muscle Car: Dave Evans, 100 Mile House (100), 1967 Camaro RS.

“He runs the practise and he might have us practise squiggles, which are like pole bending to get our horse to practise changing leads properly. When we are practising our drill, when we go to park or to a move that we stop at he will correct us and say, ‘Okay, Jen I want you to work on this,’ or ‘Melanie try this.’ When we are in park, which is our halfway spot, some horses will stand there and prance. So we’ll practise just calmly sitting there for a second to help your horse relax,” Wintjes says. The drill is the most memorable part of the Cowgirls’ performance. The team performs complicated manoeuvres including turns and moves where riders cross each others’ paths, or spin around as wheels. Drills are developed from books, watching other drill teams, YouTube videos, and even watching motorcycle drill teams. One move called the ‘arrow through the apple’ involves half of the women forming a moving circle on their horses. The other half of the team shoots through

The Cariboo Cowgirls are multitalented, taking part in parades, Grand Entry at the stampedes and performing their drill set to the circle into the middle and out the other side in a straight line, missing the horses that form the circle. “Timing and spacing are key,” says Wintjes. Without that, and without the constant practicing the team does some of these manoeuvres could result in anything from banged knees to collisions. There’s an “element of unknowing” in working with horses, says Wintjes. “How is my horse going to respond in this situation?” Fortunately all the ladies are experienced horsewomen and accidents are rare among

the Cowgirls. “I really believe if you practise properly, you’ll perform properly,” Wintjes says. And performances are always spectacular. With an amazing array of outfits to choose from and their own Cariboo Cowgirl chaps and flags, performances are breathtaking, watching riders careen towards and away from each other at high speeds. The team travels to different rodeos and equine events around the province where they are usually paid to perform. Last weekend the team travelled to Pritchard for their

SUMMER CLEARANCE EVENT

Soccer players in Williams Lake will get more time on the field with a pilot co-ed summer fall league starting in August.

Co-ed soccer camp offered Kids wanting more soccer this summer will have that chance because the Williams Lake Youth Soccer is introducing a co-ed six versus six league for players born in 1995 through to 2002 that will run from August through to Thanksgiving. “We have had co-ed in the past when we had lower numbers in our older age groups, but the six versus six format is new and we’ve never really run a summer fall league,” said WLYSA administrator Rob Tazelaar, adding it’s all about having fun. “It will be recreational, not super competitive, but a chance to kick the ball around.” A demand for more soccer from players ages 11 and up is driving the decision to give it a try. “The demand is there so it’s basically a pilot project and we’ll see how it goes,” Tazelaar said. “If it works, great. If it doesn’t, we’ll try something else. If we had tried to run another league we might have been OK with it, but I don’t know about numbers because so many people are away on vacation and on the tail end of it, we’re running into hockey.”

It’s about trying to find a balance, he added. There will be no practices and all games will take place up at Esler on weekday evenings Monday through Thursday, leaving weekends free for players and families. Age divisions will be formed based on the number of registrants and players are guaranteed 10 games, playing on a U12 sized playing field using U12 sized goals and U12 rules. Halves will be 30 minutes in duration. Tazelaar has been involved with youth soccer in Williams Lake for more than a decade and said it’s on the rise. “Our numbers were up by 50 players overall so we’re back up over 1,000 players again,” he said. “The final count was 1,024.” Praising the WLYSA executive, Tazelaar said the members show leadership and direction. “They require a lot but they get things done and I think soccer’s moving forward for the kids in this town,” he said. “We had a big bump in the U9 females and our U5 numbers were huge and held from last year when they were U4s.” Commenting on the colourful t-shirts selected for the younger soccer players this last season,

Tazelaar said it was lots of fun. “We tried grey camouflage for one of the U10 boys teams and they loved it so we might extend it into all the mini boys divisions,” he chuckled. “I tried one team to see how it would go and it seemed pretty good.” The Future Stars program for players aged nine and ten is still running through the summer, and depending on how the new summer fall co-ed program does, WLYSA will decide which programs will continue. “We’re giving everything a whirl and we’ll see what sticks,” Tazelaar said. If people register for the summer fall league by July 31 2013 they will receive an early registration fee of $50.00 ($85.00 if player was not registered in the spring season). The regular registration rate of $75.00 per player is in effect after July 31, ($110.00 if player was not registered in the 2013 spring season). If you would like to help coach/supervise with this new program, please contact Rob at the WLYSA office by emailing admin@wlysa. com or by phone at 250392-1103.

THAT’S IT. THAT’S ALL. THAT’S RIGHT.

Don’t feed bears securing the food in a vehicle away from the tent is another option. As the Ministry of Environment website states “a fed bear is a dead bear.” Most people are not aware of their role in the destruction of bears. If humans allow bears to access non-natural food sources such as garbage, they help to create “problem” bears. In most cases, “problem” bears must be destroyed because they damage property and are a potential threat to

human safety. From 2004 – 2009 Conservation Officers in British Columbia had to kill, on average, 538 black bears and 37 grizzlies each year because of real or perceived threats to human safety. Most of these bears come into conflict with people because they are allowed to access nonnatural food sources. Bears are not to be fed. It is an offence under the Wildlife Act to feed dangerous wildlife.

Workshop sets scene for film submissions A few folks looking to improve their filming skills met with Solos Productions for the Cariboo Mountain Bike Film Festival Workshop in Williams Lake, July 7. Dominik Scofield and Dalton Anderson from 100 Mile House were among participants who got some quality one-on-one time with acclaimed mountain bike action film maker Mitch Cheek. Armed with steady cams, and high end Canon cameras, the participants came to maximize their experience and milk Cheek for all his knowledge. The workshop was focused on camera angles, sequencing and other film making tactics for mountain bike action.

“Editing the clips once you have them is easy,” explained Scofield. “It’s getting the right angles and shots that’s the hard part. That’s what we’re learning from Mitch today and its awesome.” Most of the day was spent on lower Fox Mountain, where Cheek worked with the participants on a section of trail and walked them through every step of the process in putting a film together. “Filming is a form of story telling, and each clip is like the chapter of a book,” explained Cheek. “I have found the most difficult part of being a professional film maker is piecing together a story for a trail and rider. There

are so many variables that eventually need to be reflected in the final product. “It’s challenging and rewarding at the same time.” Ride the Cariboo Consortium director Justin Calof was the rider for the day. “It was cool to see the participants work with Mitch throughout the day. Mitch was a great teacher, and I think the participants came away with some solid knowledge,” said Calof. “Plus it was fun to try to look as good as James Doerfling or Cory Brunelle for the camera, but I have a long way to go.” The consortium will screen winning entries on Sept. 15, chosen from submissions due by Sept. 5.

The picture above submitted by a Chilcotin resident is a good example of how not to picnic or camp. People living and visiting in this region need to know that bears are their neighbours and opportunistic when it comes to finding food, be that berries on a bush, fish in a stream, an easily caught calf or a convenient picnic lunch. Rigging is available to help campers secure food out of reach of bears between trees, or

Chocolate and the Cow Dog as seen at the Calgary Western Art Auction.

Local artist Randi Evans won Best New Artist for her painting Chocolate and the Cow Dog at this year’s Calgary Stampede Western Art Auction. Evans was invited to enter the competition several years ago, but as she was working full time and raising her children she never followed through on the invitation.

In 2010 Evans and her husband, Sam retired back to the Cariboo from Alberta and Evans finally decided to submit her work to the auction. Her paintings mainly focus on ranching and country themes. “My passion has always been my horses and country life,” said Evans. “I live it, so I love it and I know it,” she continued, mentioning that she rides almost everyday on

her acreage in Springhouse. Evan’s winning painting features a cow dog trying to turn a “troublesome” chocolate brown cow during a round up at Meldrum Creek. The auction features 90 different pieces of art chosen from 400 submissions by 250 invited artists. “To just get accepted I was ecstatic, to get an award you

could have knocked me over with a feather,” said Evans. Evans is already prepared to submit art to Calgary for further years, including one painting that she would love to see as a Williams Lake Stampede poster. However, as in recent years the Stampede poster has mainly featured photographs, Evans has looked elsewhere to

show her western art. She has also been invited to display her work at the Kamloops Cowboy Festival. Those looking to see Evans’ paintings can find them at Bloom N’ Gifts in Williams Lake or admire them during the WLCBIA Art Walk where they will be displayed at the new Johnston Meier Insurance building in August.

Alan Jay Durr

Alan was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan to parents Wilbur George and Dorothy Stewart Durr. He was raised on a farm just a few miles south of the small town of Bromhead and like most prairie kids he played hockey and baseball, rode his horses and loved being around machinery. Alan also loved music and played with a few bands including The Gold Teens and Canadian Crescendos and later with The Chaparrals in Williams Lake, B.C. In 1968 he married Jennifer (Janie) Helgerson. The couple lived in Williams Lake until 1973 and then returned to the farm. Alan also owned a cattle liner which kept him busy and helped subsidize the farm during the dry years. Always wanting to see new places and try other occupations Alan, Janie and their three children moved to Kamloops in 1990. He had an excavating business, purchased All Points Bus Charters and worked at a variety of jobs that included driving trucks, dispatching, equipment operator on a variety of projects including ‘The Sea To Sky Highway.’ In 2008 he and Janie moved to Blind Bay to semi retire but Alan continued to work. He was always ready to try something new as long as it included machinery and one of his last jobs was gold mining in the Yukon. Family and friends were the most important to Alan. He passed his life long love of music to his children. He was happiest out on his boat, in his shop or just sitting around a campfire passing the time of day with new friends or old. Alan is survived by his wife Janie. Three children: son Jay Durr (Deb Porter), daughter Alison Durr (Allen Radford) and son John Durr. Two grandchildren Thomas Alan Durr and Hannah Jean Durr, a sister Dolly (Cordell) Sandquist from Cobble Hill B.C. as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents and one brother Merton. Special thanks to the Salmon Arm Community Nursing, Canadian Cancer Society, Dr. Francois Malan and the wonderful people at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, The Marjorie W. Snowden Hospice or the charity of your choice would be appreciated. A celebration of Alan’s life will be held on July 27, 2013 at the Parkside Lounge located inside the Interior Savings Centre at 2:00 PM. All are welcome to join us and share your fond memories of “Big Al”.
