Wildfire danger extreme

VOL. 83. No. 60

movie night in the park a big hit

Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) and Wildfire Management Branch (WMB) weather stations reported Wednesday that the fire danger rating is extreme for the following areas: Middle Lake, Riske Creek and Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin, as well as the Likely region. The fire danger rating is forecast to continue to rise this week throughout the entire CaribooChilcotin region due to warm, dry weather and low relative humidity. There is also a good possibility of lightning storms on the weekend. There is an open burning prohibition in place for the entire Cariboo-Chilcotin region, banning any backyard and industrial waste, slash or grass fires.

Panel hears diverse, passionate opinions Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer By the end of Wednesday more than 30 presenters, some of them very passionate, appeared before the New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project federal review panel in Williams Lake. On Tuesday the panel heard from Amnesty International campaigner Craig Benjamin. “I urge the panel to look at International Human Rights law as a crucial source of document to the task you have before you of assessing the significance of the proposed project’s impacts and determining whether such impact is justified,” Benjamin said. Amnesty International is not against mining, but has seen some of the most tragic human rights violations associated with resources development around the world take place when projects are imposed against the wishes of the affected indigenous nations and communities, he said.

and admitting it was emotional for him to make a presentation, Len Doucette of 100 Mile House described a town suffering from the economic downturn of the Cariboo region. “We’re starving in 100 Mile House,” Doucette said, adding the mine will help sustain the economy. Presenting on behalf of the Tailhqot’in National Government, Joan Kuyek said the New Prosperity Mine will not save the region “I lived in a mining community,

Sudbury, for 30 years and my kids left home to find work elsewhere too,” she told Doucette. “I would remind you there are already two mines in this area that don’t seem to have stopped the young people from leaving the communities.” Part of Kuyek’s presentation covered taxation considerations and public costs associated with the mine project. “Taxes from metal mines are less than one percent of all revenues in the province of B.C.,” she said, adding tax subsidies often exceed taxes paid. During a presentation on behalf of the city, Mayor Kerry Cook said the project has garnered more attention than any other project in the region. “From the city’s perspective the project presents an opportunity to develop the region’s economy.” There are currently two mines operating near Williams Lake and a third mine could enhance the city’s ability to be a mine training and servicing centre, Cook said.

Local author Sage Birchwater challenged Cook to address the “cultural genocide” that would occur if the mine landed in the middle of the Xeni Gwet’in people’s community. “I think that as a city and mayor I’ve demonstrated the importance of working in relationship with First Nations and will continue to do that going forward,” Cook said. “I respect their position and I just hope they respect the city’s position as well.” Speaking in her traditional language, Tsilhqot’in elder Fanny Stump said the First Nations do not need Williams Lake. Cook responded it was an unfortunate statement. “As neighbours, the city has appreciated the economic benefits of all First Nations communities,” Cook said. General hearing sessions wrap up Thursday, July 25, and topspecific hearings begin Thursday evening and run through to Thursday, Aug. 1.

Cariboo firefighters deployed to Quebec Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Being deployed to Quebec was definitely one of this summer’s highlights for three firefighters from the Cariboo Fire Centre. Dylan Begin, Robert Lomavatu, and Jordan Magnuson of Williams Lake were among the 20-member CFC Vesta crew and a supervisor that travelled to Quebec from July 7 to 17. They stayed in a logging camp 150 kilometres north of Chibougamau to help with basic fire suppression in the region. Begin, 24, said firefighting in Quebec was similar to what they do in B.C. They worked to establish control lines and putting water on the fire. While it was 21-yearold Lomavatu’s first time in Quebec, he noticed the fuel type was similar to what he has seen fighting fires in the northern parts of B.C., Alberta and Ontario. “It’s more muskeg with smaller black spruce,” Lomavatu explained. Magnuson, 21, said it was the 2013 Vesta Crew’s first big deployment and it was good to see the “chemistry flowing.” “We’ve got a few new people this year and it was good getting a chance to work with everyone on a fire,” he explained. “We’ve had a few fires this year but have been split off as squads so having the whole 20 pack working together was good.” Crew members have different jobs, Lomavatu said. If someone has been on the crew longer they might be on the chainsaw working as a faller, whereas newer members will do more hosing for example.

Vesta Unit crew members (from left to right) Dylan Begin, Robert Lomavatu and Jordan Magnuson show off the tools of their trade (chainsaws and Pulaski) at their Cariboo Fire Centre base in Williams Lake on Thursday, July 18. Ellis Smith - Cariboo Fire Centre/Wildfire Management Branch “But day to day our job on the fire really depends on fire activity or the objectives that an overhead team gives us,” Lomavatu said. “It’s pretty variable for what we’re doing as a crew.” The longest day was 17 hours with an average of 12 hour days. One thing that caught them off guard was the three-hour time difference, Magnuson said. “We were waking up between 4 a.m. and 4:30 for breakfast, that’s 1:30 our time, so it took a little bit of time to adjust to that.” At the end of the day, they’d run to the cook for food, shower and basically fall into bed, he added. “The day we arrived at the fire it was going on some pretty big runs,” Magnuson said. “The next few days rain clouds came in and knocked it down pretty good so by the end we were just hitting smokes here and there and not much was left by the time we returned home.” Compared to anything the crew has tackled in the Cariboo this season, where in total just over 1,000 hectares have burned

in total of 62 fires, the Quebec fire was fairly large, covering more than 1,700 hectares. “I have been at larger fires in Fort McMurray in 2011,” Begin said. “That one was over a million hectares.” One of the main challenges was the language barrier in Northern Quebec, but the crew members did “pretty well.” “We had a couple of people who were fluent so it was kind of fun that way,” Lomavatu said. It was Magnuson’s first time in Quebec and he found the French aspect was “cool.” “I took French through high school but never got to the point where I was fluent so it was fun picking up from what I’d learned in high school.” The person in charge of the fire was “fairly” bilingual, but ordering food and grocery shopping required Magnuson’s French skills. “That’s really where we picked it up most,” he admitted. For Begin the cultural differences made it seem as if he was in a different country because everywhere in Northern Quebec

everyone is constantly speaking French. “You take it for granted that everyone in B.C. speaks English,” Begin said. Echoing Begin, Lomavatu said the cultural diversity gave him a broader picture of Canada and overall it was a good deployment. “I think our crew learned a lot.” Magnuson said the team aspect of firefighting is a big draw. “I played hockey all my life and it’s a lot like a hockey team working with a bunch of guys and girls. You build some good friendships and it’s a fun job, you get to do a lot of things.” Average people don’t necessarily get to fly in helicopters, he added. Back at the base in Williams Lake the crew prepares the gear for the next fire, works on fuel management projects on Fox Mountain, and engages in public awareness. “That’s continual and will go over a few years,” fire information officer Greig Bethel said of the fuel management project. “Crews will do that when they aren’t fighting fires here or

deployed somewhere else.” Begin is a fourth year student at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Sciences and said he’ll return to firefighting next summer. Lomavatu is a Biology student going into his fourth year of the Bachelor of Science at Trinity Western University, while Magnuson is transferring to the University of Victoria for mechanical engineering. “A lot of our firefighters are university and college students during the winter and fight fires in the summer,” Bethel said.

NEWS Tolko announces capital investments in city Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tolko announced Wednesday it will make capital investments at its two operations in Williams Lake. “Between Lakeview and Soda Creek it’s going to be around a $20 million investment this year,” Soda Creek plant manager Ryan Oliver told the Tribune. Work is already underway at the Soda Creek mill, with ground preparation and paving, he added. “We will be working on the foundation for the new building in September and all the equipment is ordered and being built right now.” The majority of the equipment is coming out of Quebec. Oliver participated in a tour of Sweden earlier in the year to see the equipment operate and said presently that’s the

only place currently running it in the world right now. Everything behind the planer and the infeed is being replaced. The slow-down system into a full optimized grader and then into a brand new sorting line. “Currently we have a state-of-the-art sawmill that is very efficient at running small beetle kill logs, our planer on the other hand is very archaic and really belongs in a museum,” Oliver said. “We’ve still got a dry chain on there so we are taking all that out and putting in an automated sorting line.” The biggest reasons for the capital upgrades are cost reduction and the ability to sort more grades for other markets. Right now Soda Creek sells wood to China because it doesn’t have the capability of sorting it, Oli-

The project at Soda Creek is the biggest capital project within Tolko this year, he added. Lakeview manager Mark Everard said Lakeview Lumber is embarking on a major refit of the sawmill’s backend. “This refit will in-

clude more sorting capacity, new controls, new scanning, a new trimmer, and a new stacker. “We will begin construction on civil, structural, and electrical this fall with completion of this project slated for March 2014,” Everard said. “Where appropriate we are using local vendors and contractors to help us with this project. This project will significantly enhance Lakeview’s safety, efficiency, productivity, and cost structure.” The investments will allow the mills to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible and position them for long term success in a competitive market, Mark Stevens, General Manager, Cariboo Lumber stated in a press release. “This is a very exciting time for both Soda Creek and Lakeview and we are looking for-

ward to the future at these divisions.” Upgrades at Soda Creek are expected to be completed by December 2013 while Lakeview is scheduled for completion in April 2014. “We are excited about the future at Williams Lake. These projects are not only positive news for our operations and employees, but also for the community. Creating competitive, successful operations at Lakeview and Soda Creek certainly bodes well for the economy of the area,” Stevens said. “Improvement is key to our business strategy,” said CEO, Brad Thorlakson. “These operational upgrades don’t just affect Tolko, as a company; they also facilitate our sawmill employees and divisional managers in their day-to-day jobs. I couldn’t be more

proud of the work our employees are already doing, and I’m excited to see where these advancements will lead us in the future.” Stevens added that a number of smaller capital improvement projects will also be undertaken in both mills during this same time period. Oliver said there’s no question there will be positions lost as a result of the capital project, however, with present demographics Soda Creek is constantly hiring people due to retirement. “We’re also expanding our apprenticeship program for the trades. We have a lot of people who are going to be retiring in the next two to three years throughout our trades so we’ve stepped up how many apprentices we have.” Presently there are 160 employees at Soda Creek.

Wildfires total 65 so far this season The Cariboo Fire Centre/ Wildfire Management Branch reported one wildfire from the weekend, a small vehicle fire that got into a tree canopy near Bridge Lake on Saturday night. This fire was first actioned by the Interlakes volunteer fire department and then a CFC Initial Attack

crew on Sunday morning, and as of Monday was in patrol status. So far in July, there have been 15 wildfires with eight person-caused and 15 lightning-caused. The fires have mostly been small, the biggest at four hectares from lightning in the Cariboo Mountains. There have been a

total of 65 wildfires (50 person-caused, 145 lightning-caused) in the CFC this season, burning 1,071 hectares. The current fire danger rating is split between moderate and high throughout the CFC, with areas of high in the Chilcotin, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Likely regions, and extreme

near Middle Lake in the west Chilcotin. The fire danger rating is forecast to rise this week throughout the Cariboo-Chilcotin due to continued warm, dry weather. The CFC would like to again remind the public there is an open burning prohibition in place for the entire Cariboo-Chilcotin

region, banning any backyard and industrial waste, slash or grass fires. The CFC also urges the public to be vigilant with any type of fire use, including campfires and fireworks, and to properly and safely extinguish cigarettes. Wildfires can also be sparked by industrial and recreational ma-

chinery in these types of warm, dry conditions with low relative humidity. Ongoing CFC/ WMB air patrols are on the lookout for fires in the more remote areas of the region. The CFC covers an area of about 10.3-million hectares, stretching from Clinton north to the Cottonwood River,

east to Wells Gray Provincial Park, and west to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. 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

Backyard chickens and bees hearing set for Sept. 24 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Backyard chickens and bees are still a possibility for residents in Williams Lake. After public meetings and consultation

in June, including feedback surveys, city staff is creating animal control amendment bylaws for the public’s consideration. Public hearings for the bylaws will take place Sept. 24 at city hall.

“I want the public to know the public hearings are set for September, not at our next meeting in August, for more time as well of capturing the people who return from vacation in the fall,” Mayor Kerry

Cook said. “It will be a better timeline.” Coun. Laurie Walters encouraged people to let the city know what they think about the bylaws. “It’s really important that if people want more informa-

tion or have an opinion to step up to the plate,” Walters said. “The purpose of doing this and doing it right is so that we can gather the important public feedback and input from the community.”

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor attended the public sessions and said there were good questions asked. “There is some opposition, and some people have contacted me to speak against it, but I am not speaking

against it at the time, and definitely look forward to the public hearings to see what the public wants.” Once the public has its say, then the council can make a decision one way or the other, Rathor added.

Group works to keep Boitanio Park safe Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer There are no shortterm solutions to solving the issues in Boitanio Park in Williams Lake. A Boitanio Park safety group was created in late 2012 that has had a series of meetings with stakeholders to address safety issues in the park, manager of social development Anne Burrill said during a report to council. “Some really good work has happened over the period of time that we’ve been meeting,” she said. Three different working groups have tackled three priority areas. One is to do increased outreach into the park to vulnerable people spending time in the park who are struggling with addictions and health issues. A second group is working through the existing homelessness and housing committee that is chaired by the Canadian Mental Health Association that is doing integrated case planning to link people with community services and help provide supports. The third group looked at providing a drop-in centre for people who spend time in the park, but that idea has not gone any further. “It’s a fairly challenging undertaking to develop a new service in the community,” Burrill. During the next few months, the group will look at various housing models because the cost of providing housing to vulnerable people is considerably less than the cost of providing health care and policing services to homeless people. “We will also look at a model around intensive wrap around health services. Clients would have access to wrap around services that would address mental health and addiction issues,” Burrill said. A community survey conducted two years ago identified safety as the number one issue of concern by residents and Boitanio Park was identified as the number

Kids run freely in Boitanio Park during the Cariboo Memorial Complex summer day camp, however, many people in Williams Lake have identified the park as a place where they do not feel safe. one spot where people did not feel safe, Mayor Kerry Cook said. “All of this work has been done as a result of that and initiation by Insp. Warren Brown last fall.” Insp. Brown said the park continues to be as busy as it has been in past years. Between January and the end of June, the RCMP had exactly the same number of prisoners as during the same period in 2012. “Although not broken down into locations for arrest, I would suggest that the numbers arrested for alcohol related matters at or near the park are similar to previous years,” Brown explained. During the summer, RCMP increase park patrols because there are youth programs in the park. “I believe the park is a safe place during the day, however I would still encourage people to respect one another and refrain from illegal activity including drinking alcohol in the park,” Brown said. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor focused on a recommendation in Burrill’s report for increased lighting in the park and asked if the city is following the recommendation and can install lights sooner rather than waiting until the fall. Community policing co-ordinator Dave Dixon is looking at crime prevention initiatives

through environmental design principles, Burrill responded. “We’ll be looking at the park for potential location of lights and location for potential emergency call buttons. You’re absolutely right that we need to move forward on them, but we need to do it in a strategic way.” Aside from safety concerns, the park is a gathering place when

it’s not used for abuse, and a number of people from outlying communities to meet, Coun. Laurie Walters said. “There are some positive gatherings happening there,” she added. Coun. Danica Hughes thanked Burrill for the report. “Something that struck me with it was that people in the park are actually welcoming the walk throughs and

are not opposed to it, which kind of surprised me. That surprised me because I thought they would want as little attention as possible.” It made her realize they need protection too, Hughes said. “I am so relieved our community is caring about these people,” she added. She recalled a story Last year in the summer when she was talking with someone who was frequently in the park. Hughes noticed something had happened to the person’s face. “This person was sleeping in the park and someone came up to this person and kicked them in the face and broke their jaw,” Hughes recalled. “It’s important we protect these people too, it’s not just about tax paying residents.” Cook also praised CMHA homelessness worker Wayne Lucier for his dedication to the community. “He does extraordinary work and makes inroads,” Cook said. “What became apparent is it’s not an easy fix and we have systemic issues in the park.”

Tune writing success for local pipe band member LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Williams Lake Pipe Band member Aubrey Jackson placed third in the tune-writing competition at Simon Fraser University Pipe Band’s Piping Hot Summer Drummer workshop at Silver Star Resort in July. Jackson, along with his three sons, Denzel, 13, Lucus, 10 and Jude 6 are all members of the local pipe band. Aubrey plays bass drum and is learning the bagpipes; Denzel plays snare drum; and Lucus and Jude are both learning the pipes. Jackson read his first note of music in November 2012, when he joined the Williams Lake Pipe Band. This was Jackson’s first time at Piping Hot and his first attempt at tune-writing for the pipes. He said that growing up in the Damlax Hamidt nation, songs were a huge part of his identity. “We have songs that we sing when we arrive at someone’s place or property. We stand and sing a peace song that identifies who we are as a family, and signifies that we have something important to say, and they can let us in or not,” Jackson explained. He said that music was also part of their healing, adding that the pipe tune he wrote was called Laying Rodney to Rest, for his nephew who passed away in 2009. When the tunewriting competition was announced at the workshop, he said that the prizes were great – one of them was a Blackwood chanter worth about $500. “The prizes were something I could never afford on my own, so I thought I’d take a stab at it,” Jackson said. He said that he “had a little tune” in his head, and said that

he lay in his bunk with his chanter and started playing the notes until he found what fit and started putting it to paper. He explained there was no time signature to it, and that Vernon Pipe Major Kevin Underwood, who attended the workshop with the Williams Lake band, offered to have a look. “He heard me play it about 200 times, trying to figure out how the notes went. When I finished it I handed it to him and he adjusted it to 6/8 time, shuffled a few notes around and played it for me. ‘Is this your tune?’ he asked, and it was. Wow.” When the winners of the tune writing competition were announced during the student concert on the last night of the workshop, Jackson said he was “absolutely stunned.” “I was totally shocked. I thought, ‘Who am I to win this?’” he said. The winning three tunes were played for the audience by SFU pipe band members who were instructors at the workshop. Jackson said that the whole workshop was an incredible experience for him. “I am amazed at how much I came away with from this. I was impressed from the very start – registration, audition and placement,” Jackson noted. “The instructors, including six-time world champion piper Jack Lee, rotated from class to class.” Placed in the beginning class, he said that he played ‘Scotland the Brave’ for Stuart Liddell, considered one of the world’s top pipers. “He said, ‘I can see you may have cut a lot of corners to get where you are’ and suggested that I get back to basics. “What a gracious guy,” Jackson said.

Williams Lake residents Denzel Jackson and his dad Aubrey Jackson thoroughly enjoyed their time at the Piping Hot Summer Drummer workshop held at Silver Star Resort in Vernon where Aubrey placed in the top three in the tune writing competition. “They moved me up to the next class of pipers for the rest of the workshop – I learned so much.” He said that joining the Williams Lake Pipe Band with his three sons started when Lucus wanted a kilt for Christmas. “I have had a simple black kilt for several years – wore it to MC a couple of events and Lucus always liked it,” Jackson explained. “My wife, Shannon found one for him at Value Village; her mom, Eleanor altered it, and he wore it well.” Jackson also said that his grandmother was half Scottish. “I learned Highland dancing as a kid,” he noted. “It really resonated with me and stuck with me over the years; there are a lot of parallels with my culture.” He said that he took his sons to the Legion to listen to the Williams Lake Pipe Band,

and they all joined up and started receiving instruction. “The band is so generous with their time and knowledge,” Jackson added. “It’s a real gift for us.” An incredibly positive benefit of belonging to the pipe band with his sons is the connection, he said. “It means everything to do this with my kids,” Jackson said. “This builds good, strong character and confidence; there is nothing in the world better than time with your children.”

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Monday, July 29 Alexis Creek Daze horse riders line up at the Alexis Creek Community Corral before heading to McAuley Meadow.

Alexis Creek Daze draws an international crowd The third annual Alexis Creek Daze was held at the Alexis Creek Community Hall grounds on Saturday, July 20 and featured a group horse ride, horse reining demonstration, horseshoes, volleyball, tug-of-war, a mountain bike cross-country race, RCMP running obstacle course, children’s races, arm wrestling, talent show, beer garden, chili competition, dinner, and slide show by wilderness adventurer Chris Cza-

jkowski. Alexis Creek Daze was organized once again by local rancher Bev Madley and many volunteers. In her column Thursday, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says it was an honour for her to be asked to attend and participate in the event. Barnett reports the morning started with the mountain bike poker ride, won by Cole Feldinger, and the horse-

back poker ride, won by Claudia, who is from Switzerland. There was a great demonstration of reining put on by Sharon Gates and Wildwood Reining, and Crystal Grier from the Miller Ranch on horses in training. “For me, the highlight of the event is always the horseshoe tournament,” Barnett says. “The first year of this community event, there were only about six teams. Last year, approximately

12 teams played. Al Madley and I have been partners since the start of Alexis Creek Daze, and were undefeated up until this past weekend.” This year she says competition was very tough, with 20 teams registering. Local players were joined by participants from as far away as Australia, Switzerland and Luxembourg. But Barnett says she will be back to try and reclaim the championship.

The Kidney Foundation will host its annual Kidney Walk in Williams Lake Sunday, Aug. 25. The walk will start in Boitanio Park at 9 a.m. The Kidney Walk raises funds for critical programs and services for British Columbians affected by kidney disease. The Kidney Walk also helps raise awareness about the seriousness of this disease and highlights the importance of organ donation. Thousands of volunteers and participants in 20 B.C. communities participate in Kidney Walks each year. The events feature live entertainment, prizes, fundraising barbecues, silent auctions and more. Kidney disease is a serious disease that has no cure. It is a disease that is both underrecognized and undetectable in its early stages.

Rowdies clean up Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer

The Rowdies emerged the winners after two Williams Lake teams battled in the final game at the Canim Lake SloPitch tournament last weekend. “We were tied 1515 in the bottom of the seventh against the Rookies when our team’s Charlie Gainer hit a walk-off home run,” team player and manager Linda Barbondy said Tuesday. “All we had to do was get one run and he hit it over the fence and that was it. It was pretty cool.” The Rowdies were one of five teams

from Williams Lake who attended the tournament. Other teams from Williams Lake were the Fireballs, Sticks and Stones and the Bears. There were three teams from 100 Mile House and one from Canim Lake. “We played five games and won them all,” Barbondy said. “We also played the Rookies in the quarter final game and it was 12 to 11. “And then we played them in the final game.” Hot weather predominated the tournament, so only having to play five games came as a bit of a reprieve, she added.

The Rowdies have been together for 19 years and attend the Canim Lake tournament every year. “It’s well organized. It’s a really good tournament,” Barbondy said, adding her team has played all over, including at tournaments in Cuba and Mexico. Barbony said the next event for local teams will be the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch Year End Tournament coming up on the Aug. 24-25 weekend. Laughing Barondy said she runs the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League, manages the Rowdies, and can play on whatever position she might be needed.

A very good year for berry picking Liz Twan Special to The Tribune It’s a berry-good year in the Cariboo! With a plentiful supply of water, courtesy of multitudes of June rainstorms, the summer of 2013 is yielding a bumper crop of many kinds/varieties of wild berries. Many Cariboo-ites armed with sun hats, sunscreen, mosquito dope, bear bells, perhaps a dog or two and plastic buckets of all sizes are adventuring out along country roadsides to pick berries. One recent afternoon on Dog Creek Road a group of Esketemc First Nation seniors were scattered out along the road (lakeside - Alkali Lake) industriously picking Saskatoon berries. A discussion with community van driver Thomas Sampson yielded the information that this group had been picking berries all day long. It was a perfect day for berrypicking: a little cool and overcast with a nice breeze to blow the mosquitos away and he transported the group to the best berry patches in the area. The berry-pickers had begun the day in a different area, harvesting soapolallie berries that are used to make hooshum, commonly called Indian Ice Cream. The juice extracted from these berries, with a little water added is whipped to make a frothy salmon-coloured dessert resembling ice (whipped) cream to which sugar is sometimes added to taste. By the time the group arrived at Alkali Lake where the Saskatoon berries were in plentiful sup-

Not one to stay idle long, she cheerfully helped others pick, or simply picked and snacked on the juicy fruit herself, just enjoying the wonderful summer day out and about in the Cariboo coun-

tall as she is (about five feet), on her way to access a Saskatoon berry-patch alongside Alkali Lake. They were a tired but happy group, all sporting big smiles along with sticky, purple stained hands and full berry-buckets – enjoying a day outdoors in the Cariboo.

COMMUNITY The Cameron Ridge Conspiracy an intriguing read Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Steve Hunter gets it. Despite a few cultural and historic inconsistencies, Hunter offers a delightful account of the Cariboo Gold Rush told from a First Nations’ perspective in his first historic fiction novel, The Cameron Ridge Conspiracy. This is no small undertaking considering that the author is nonaboriginal. Hunter uses his imagination and knowledge of place and time to lay out a plot in the Cariboo that is quite believable and consistent with the landscape and time period of the Gold Rush. He writes sensitively with understanding of this tumultuous time. He describes the clash of cultures that transformed the country and particularly the lifestyle of the Aboriginal people and threatened to break their connection to the land. Hunter obviously draws on his 30-year career as a social worker, much of it in the Cariboo Chilcotin, and his empathy with the Secwepemc (Shuswap), Dakelh (Southern Carrier) and Tsilhqot’in people. He acknowledges the

The theme of the novel centres around one of the most challenging moments of upheaval in the history of the Secwepemc. In 1859 their culture and way of life was turned up-side-down in the face of the Gold Rush bringing a new breed of people into their territory – people who didn’t respect

them or their relationship to the land. The author doesn’t delve deeply into the hurt, heartbreak and bloody gore associated with this invasion by outside forces, but he lays the groundwork for the shift, showing the treachery, greed, racism and murder. He also counters it with values of honour, wisdom, valour and principle shared by both the native and white cultures. He shows how these values are intrinsic to

survival. Hunter points out positive relationships that did occur between the First Nations people and white settlers and the values they shared to build the community we call the Cariboo. He shows the roots of these values centred around family, children and true caring for each other. There are thrilling moments in the novel as the reader is swept up by the drama of events and literally taken to the edge – especially in the last pages – to find out how justice is meted out. It is a story about transformative change, confronting the inevitable, acting appropriately, and making the best of very difficult circumstances. It is about drawing on the loftier principles, albeit aided by cunning, to allow fair retribution to run its course. A First Nations reader might take exception with some of the author’s liberties and artistic license he employs to tell the tale. After all Steve Hunter is white and there is an undeniable cultural gap that is unavoidable as a result. Nevertheless, as a non-First Nations person myself who has worked with and writ-

Steve Hunter reads from his first novel The Cameron Ridge Conspiracy. ten extensively about aboriginal culture in this region, I have to take my hat off to

Steve. He is extremely brave walking into this abyss. God forbid, I’m not sure my feet would fit in his moccasins. The book leaves me feeling uplifted. Not only is there a sense of redemption for wrongs committed, there is a noble sense of hope that altruism in any culture will take you beyond the chaos and destruction. Hunter says the book is a tribute to honour the First Nations people he spent a whole career working with. “I wrote the book to craft my own version of the world and to set things in perspective,” he stated at his June 20 book launch at the Cariboo Arts Centre. He started writing the book in January

2011 and when he was finished he spent six months shopping it around to trade publishers before deciding to publish it himself. “It’s historical fiction told through the voice of a young Secwepemc woman who witnessed a tragic event,” he explains. Rosanna McGregor who mentored Hunter on some aspects of Secwepemc culture, says she grew up in Beaver Valley near Horsefly. “So I could relate to the area he’s describing in the novel.” The Cameron Ridge Conspiracy is available locally at various outlets, The Open Book, the Station House Gallery and Save-On Foods book department.

SENIORS SCENE Seniors’ Activity Centre kitchen upgrade in the works Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Stirring the pot is getting more difficult at the Senior Citizens Activity Centre kitchen because it’s been 40 years since the kitchen had an upgrade. Last January the centre received a $20,000 grant from the B.C. government,

of which $8,000 can be used for kitchen upgrades. The rest will go to offer food safe courses. When the funding was presented to the centre Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett and then Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan, several se-

niors present said it would cost $30,000 to $40,000 to overhaul the kitchen properly. It needs new flooring, a dishwasher, stove, counter tops, cupboards, fridges, freezers and more. Appliances should be industrial type. Right now they are household models.

The Cariboo Park Home Society is one step closer to building a long-awaited addition to Glen Arbor apartments for seniors. The society recently received a grant of $10,000 from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation: Affordable Housing Centre. “This will enable us to do a business plan and preliminary drawings to build more seniors’ affordable accessible housing on the Glen Arbor site,” says society promoter Maureen Tickner. “The goal of the Cariboo Park Home Society has always been to complete Phase II development of our housing site.” Pictured are Glen Arbor resident Joyce McCann (left), Cariboo Park Home Society president Maureen Tickner, Rob Jaswal of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Affordable Housing Centre, Tracy Rouse Glen Arbor manager, society vice-president Walt Cobb, and society secretary-treasurer Leckie Reynolds.

There have been several “generous” donations from the community, and the society has been busy doing its own fundraising, but more funds are needed to complete all of the upgrade to bring the kitchen up to standard. “I think there are people out there who would like to make donations in the memory of their parents who were previous members of the society,” said board member Ruby Williams who volunteers in the kitchen regularly. “We would like to invite people to get involved in the ongoing renovations,” Williams said. “They can make monetary donations or time.” And the society can issue tax receipts because it’s a non-profit, added board member Ed Novakowski. Despite the kitchen’s drawbacks, volunteers are cooking and serving lunches daily

Seniors Activity Centre society members Cory Paterson, Ruby Williams, manager Glenda Winger, Dick Pool and Ed Novakowski are hoping the community will help with the centre’s kitchen renovation project. to anywhere between 30 and 50 people, depending on the day of the week. “We’re hoping to get started renovating in the middle of August when the

kitchen will be closed for two weeks,” said centre manager Glenda Winger. “We close down so we can give our volunteers two weeks off.” The first priority is

to replace the flooring and cupboards. “We have grown so much,” said board chair Sondra Giske. “We’re close to 500 members.”
