Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The family of Corey Huu Le, killed in Williams Lake on May 18, is appealing for an end to violence. “Corey was working hard to build a good life for himself and his family, and we ask that his life, and his death, be a lesson for us all to remember how precious life is, and to end the violence in our communities,” the family said in a press release issued Monday, adding “Enough is enough.” According to the family, Le was a family man survived by his wife, Corissa Billyboy, and a two-yearold daughter. He was a member

of the Soda Creek Indian Band. He is also the only brother to his sisters Shawna, Tia, Anita, Virginia, Angel and Bryce. The family said despite the violent circumstances of his death, those who were involved and directly affected by this tragedy are encouraged not to take matters into their own hands. “The family acknowledges that there is a lot of pain, anger and fear in the surrounding communities because of his death, and wish for no more conflict,” they said in the release. Family members also urged people to leave the investigation of Le’s death to the RCMP and said they want to be left to grieve in

peace and do not support violence in any way. On Friday evening family, friends and supporters participated in a candlelight walk in his memory. They walked from the corner of Midnight Drive and Western Avenue to the house where Le and his family lived on Eleventh Avenue. At the walk, Le’s aunt Ellie Sellars said the family wanted the public to know Le was not part of any gang and had been using his energies to turn his life around for the sake of his family. A memorial of flowers, candles, a photograph of Le and his daughter, are still placed near the home. Even on Monday evening a

single candle was burning. Initially the RCMP reported that around 3:45 a.m. Le’s body was located at the residence in the 1000 block of Eleventh Avenue North. Police said they were treating the death as a homicide and encouraged the public to come forth with any information about the incident. The family thanked RCMP Victim Services for assisting with their sharing circles and making themselves available. They also, however, said they took offense to how the victim may have been portrayed in the Williams Lake Tribune’s May 21 edition.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week Q: Should the referendum be successful would the proposed/ renovation expansion of the pool lead to more programs and services being available to the community? A: Yes, most definitely. The preferred concept dramatically increases the available water space that can be programmed. The proposed configuration also allows for multiple events to occur at the same time. It is anticipated that there would be a significant increase in the amount of time available for public and leisure swims, lap swimming, special events, etc. The current pool does not allow for multiple activities happening at the same time whereas the concept plan is configured to maximize use at all time. A few examples: • Currently during swim meets the pool is completely closed to the public for the entire weekend. In the new design the leisure pool could be open to the public while the swim meet takes place in the main pool tank. • Currently when lanes are in for lane swimming the diving board and rope swing must be closed. The new configuration would allow for lane swimming to take place in the leisure pool while the main tank was being used for a public swim which included the diving board, rope swing and slide. • Currently when the main tank is being used for water fitness classes it is unavailable for any other use. In the new configuration there would multiple options for location of a fitness class which would leave may areas open to the general public and lane swimmers.

The City of Williams Lake is pleased to announce that it has launched its re-vamped website williamslake.ca.

But the most exciting thing about the new website is the ability for users to engage with the City. You can choose how and what information you receive, and you can add your ideas for the City in a community conversation.” To celebrate the new website, the City will enter all users who register for the site between May 9th and June 9th into a draw to win one of 12 free swim passes, one of three commemorative 85th birthday blankets, or one six-month facility pass to the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

NEWS Band seeks mine agreement

On strike

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Mark Witjes, a teacher at Skyline, and Dave Julius, secondary transition teacher, take a turn on the picket line in Williams Lake during the one-day rotating strike action Tuesday.

?Esdilagh (Alexandria) Indian Band needs an economic benefit agreement with Taseko Mines Ltd.’s Gibraltar Mine, Tsilhqot’in National Government tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse said. “We are trying to put pressure on and would strongly recommend that the province of B.C. intervene and get this company to sign an agreement,” Alphonse told the Tribune. First Nations communities are experiencing government cutbacks and have to tap into the resources on their traditional territories to ensure adequate funding for their government structures, Alphonse said. “If we have to we are going to push to get Taseko out and another company in that will work with First Nations people,” Alphonse warned. Taseko Mines, how-

ever, said it has agreements with the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and in 2011, the ?Esdilagh band drafted a memorandum of understanding for the company’s consideration. “They brought it to us for our consideration and our CEO signed it,” Taseko’s vice-president of corporate affairs Brian Battison told the Tribune. “Then Esdilagh subsequently did not sign it.” During the last five years, Gibraltar has hired ?Esdilagh members, contracted services with the band, provided education and training opportu-

nities, Battison said. The agreement wasn’t anywhere near industry standards, which is why ?Esdilagh didn’t sign it, Alphonse said. Battison argued it is jobs and business development that will make a difference for individual First Nations people, not necessarily an agreement. “From a job comes a sense of purpose, self confidence and a sense of making your own way,” Battison said. It’s not about jobs, it’s about meeting a standard that has been set across Canada, Alphonse responded. Since becoming ?Esdilagh’s chief in

2008, Bernie Mack has been meeting regularly with Gibraltar and said Friday some progress had been made in developing a relationship between his band and the mine, although he described the relationship as “lukewarm.” He said an Esdilagh Gibraltar Working Group, established for environmental and business development, meets regularly, even if both sides don’t agree. During the mine’s recent expansion, the band received a truck load of trees for firewood and building camps for some housing structures, and last Friday the band began a tree planting contract with the Gibraltar. “I acknowledge that we’ve made some progress, but it’s far from an impact benefit agreement which is both revenue sharing and contracts,” Mack said, adding Esdilagh is fairly remote, with limited capacity and limited dollars.

Thefts and break-ins keep police busy during weekend Williams Lake RCMP Detachment responded to 70 calls for service during the May 24 and 25 weekend, including several vehicle thefts and break-ins. Saturday, May 24 At approximately 4:18 a.m. the RCMP received a complaint of a theft from a vehicle that had just occurred in the parking lot of the plywood plant at Mackenzie Avenue North and Soda Creek Road. Two males broke the driver’s window of a 1999 Honda CRV and

left in a burgundy/silver Oldsmobile four-door car. Stolen from the vehicle was a small amount of change. The RCMP responded to a report at 7:45 a.m. that a grey 2011 Chevrolet Silverado truck had been broken into. The break-in occurred between 4 p.m. the day prior and 7 a.m. while it was parked on Cattle Drive. Nothing was stolen from the pickup. At 8:36 a.m., the RCMP responded to a complaint of

theft. Some time between 6 p.m. on May 23 and 6 a.m. on May 24, suspect(s) stole a green and red Honda quad and 10 to 12 foot quad trailer with a pull down load ramp from a location about 12 kilometres down Parma Lake Road, near Riske Creek. The RCMP received a complaint at 1:49 p.m. of a vehicle break-in on Tower Crescent. The suspect(s) entered the vehicle by breaking a window on the 1995 Red, GMC Jimmy. Nothing was taken from the ve-

hicle. At 2:45 a.m. RCMP responded to a report that a black 2000 Ford Explorer was broken into while it was parked on Sutton Road, between 1:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Stolen from the vehicle was a bag of prescription medication. The RCMP received a report at 5:20 p.m. that a red 1992 Buick Regal was stolen from Cattle Drive sometime during the past week while the owner was out of town. While police were attempting to locate this

vehicle, the RCMP received a call from a witness who had been following behind the stolen vehicle. Police responded and the vehicle was located abandoned on Third Avenue North, parked beside a garbage dumpster. The witness described the driver as being a female Caucasian, with dark red hair in her late 20s and a Caucasian male passenger, newly bald in his late 20s to early 30s, wearing a white baseball cap.

At 11 p.m. Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services conducted a traffic stop on Broadway Avenue North at Proctor Street. It resulted in one 90Day Roadside Suspension, one 30-day vehicle impound, one roadside alcohol screening device request, which the driver passed, one liquor seizure, one open liquor charge, three traffic violations and two notice and orders to repair faulty vehicle equipment. Sunday, May 25

At 8:58 am, the RCMP responded to the report of a theft of a red and grey 2008 Yamaha Raptor quad stolen from the back of a pickup truck on Second Avenue the night before. When the owner woke up in the morning the quad was missing from the back of the pickup. The tailgate was down and the straps securing the quad had been released. Anyone with information about these matters is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or call Crimestoppers.

Williams Lake wins Chamber of the Year Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Winning BC Chamber of the Year for 2014 is a credit to the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce and its volunteers, president Jason Ryll said. “It’s always through the work of volunteers that work at the chamber gets done,” Ryll said. “Whether it’s the board or other people involved on committees along with the guidance of Claudia

Blair our executive director and her staff.” During the BC Chamber AGM held in Richmond last week, Ryll along with other WLDCC directors learned they had won. Presenters talked about Williams Lake starting in the Gold Rush and being a resource-based community that has faced challenges in forestry and mining over the years. Chambers apply to be in the running, then the BC Chamber board

of governors will evaluate all applications using a point system. “Whoever has the most point wins,” Ryll said. “We don’t know how many other chambers applied. It’s very secretive.” At the BC Chamber level, the WLDCC has worked hard on a policy to fight the BC Ferries decision to cancel the Discovery Coast Ferry. Ryll said the policy was passed and is now part of the BC Cham-

ber’s position that BC Ferries must undergo a thorough economic impact study on any route reductions around the province before making any closures. The WLDCC wants the decision to cancel the Discovery Coast Ferry reversed, Ryll added. He also said the chamber is committed to seeing the New Prosperity Mine approved and is supporting Taseko Mines Ltd.’s requests for judicial reviews.

Chilco super fish make run to the ocean Angie Mindus Staff Writer Counting fish can be a tricky business, however more than 17 million salmon smolts have been tabulated so far in the Chilco Lake system and many million more are expected. According to Tsilhqot’in National Government (TNG) Fisheries Manager Paul Grinder, every year Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and TNG take on the Chilco project as part of their regular work jointly managing the salmon fisheries. With an ever tightening budget, and the increasing demands on the salmon industry, he said the job of managing the fishery is a challenge to say the least. “There are so many factors that come into play, it’s a real challenge,” Grinder said of environmental, economic and social pressures associated with the declining runs of sockeye, chinook and coho salmon as well as steelhead. “It’s all become very political.”

Paul Grinder Politics aside, Grinder said he is happy with the research being conducted on the Chilco sockeye, referred to by scientists as a “super fish” due to its genetic uniqueness, such as spawning at a high elevation. “This particular stock is an indicator species.” Currently Grinder said most salmon stocks in the province are in trouble, and even the most hardy Chilco run is in decline, according to the studies. Of particular concern, he said, is the smaller Taseko salmon run, which is a tributary of the Chilco. He is hoping they can undertake studies of that troubled run in the future.

In the meantime, the yearly study of the Chilco downstream smolt count will continue, using a fish fence to corral yearling smolts through gates as they make their way out of Chilco Lake and toward the ocean. Grinder said two sheds are set up at the gates with staff who physically count the smolts and also take their picture from above to count a second time later before releasing them through the gates for another set to go through. He is also pleased about a new fish tagging program being conducted by UBC researchers which may help determine how quick the fish travel, where they travel and when they travel using information gathered by inserting very small chips into smolts. “There’s really not a whole lot of knowledge around salmon,” he said, noting the Chilco run is one of the few stocks left that can afford the mortality risk that comes with such a study. “It’s a good study, I think ... when it comes

to fisheries, I hate to say it, but it’s a bit of a guessing game. So the more that can be known the better.” This year is expected to be the largest run in the salmon’s four-year cycle. Typically the Chilco run averages about 600,000 fish, however four years ago the run ballooned to an estimated seven million returning salmon. In other years however, such as 2009, government predictions have fallen very short, prompting the Cohen Commission of Inquiry Into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River. The Cohen Commission took three years, 2,145 exhibits, 892 public submissions and 138 days of hearings with 180 witnesses to create its report and came up with 75 recommendations to rebuild the Pacific salmon stocks. Grinder said few recommendations from the Cohen inquiry have been followed to date and he predicts a collapse of the fishery before leaders will take meaningful steps to rebuild the stocks.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Make education Ready, aim, fire a priority

Supporting Special Olympics

n open letter to Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education: As a relatively new Minister of Education, it would be helpful if you would take a fresh look at the relationship between your government and our teachers. Your predecessors’ tactics have not improved our education system. Isn’t it time to put children first? The issue is class size and composition. They must be manageable. The math is simple, more students per teacher means less teacher time French per student. Some Connection children need exDiana French tra help, others need extra challenge. Add the issues of behaviour and motivation and the math becomes simple. Because some students need more attention, others don’t get their fair share. Is this what you want? Quite simply Mr. Minister, meeting these complex needs requires hiring enough teachers and teacher assistants to do the job. To say the province can’t afford adequate education services is horsefeathers. It’s a matter of priorities. Your government has money for lawyers to appeal B.C. Supreme Court rulings. It has mega bucks for advertising its agenda and for the Speaker of the House to diddle away. And how much did the roof on BC Place Stadium cost? This list is a long one if you need more examples. Mr. Minister, did you really say class size and composition doesn’t matter in the education system? Do you see any private schools basing their advertising and promotions on that sad philosophy? As for teachers’ salaries, what about the salaries (and golden handshakes) paid to Crown corporation employees (eg. BC Hydro, BC Ferries). The rationale there is that you have to pay high salaries to attract good people. Wouldn’t that also apply to teachers? If teacher quality is the issue, won’t you get what you pay for? B.C. needs a vibrant, energized public education system. Spend the money in the classrooms where it will benefit the students. Please! Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

t always warms my heart to hear about our community rallying together to support a good cause. The Special Olympics is one of those great causes. The Special Olympics has been a part of B.C. sport for decades, all thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, supporters and very talented athletes who inspire us all. On the steps of the Legislature yesterday, it was a pleasure to meet athletes from across MLA the province who Musings were recognized for their incredDonna Barnett ible dedication and talents. They are athletes that are from every corner of our province who have passion for sport and fitness. In events big and small, athletes compete in a wide variety of sports including athletics, basketball, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics and swimming. The 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games are coming up in Vancouver July 8 to 12, 2014. Our government through Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and neighbouring Cariboo North MLA, Coralee Oakes announced $300,000 in funding in support to this great event. However, local fundraising and support is just as important to ensure that the Special Olympics continue to grow and be successful in our province and across Canada. When I was reading the Tribune last week, I saw that Staples and more than 30 local businesses came together to donate prizes and make gift baskets to raffle off. The money raised was an incredible gesture on behalf of the people of Williams Lake and the Cariboo-Chilcotin supporting our local Special Olympics chapter. That is why I will personally donate $100 to this cause and encourage everyone else to donate what you can to the Special Olympics. Please be sure to visit specialolympics. bc.ca to donate online or ways you can volunteer. You can also visit vancouver2014. com for more information on the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint

Students the losers Williams Lake students had the day off school on Tuesday, thanks to a rotating strike by teachers, as the contract dispute with the provincial government continues. This is unacceptable for everyone involved — students, teachers, parents, school districts and the provincial government. The two sides need to compromise far more than they have thus far. Teachers have some very legitimate concerns about the makeup of their classes and the extra demands being placed on them by continuing shifts in education policy. The government does have significant budgeting challenges, and teachers need to modify their wage demands significantly. Most importantly, both sides need to really focus on students, and not just pay lip service to the concept. Strikes, even of one day’s duration, impact education. The B.C. Teachers Federation has said there will be other rotating strikes, and this is simply

unacceptable. Yet the province claims that depriving students of an education is not acceptable, but is prepared, through the employers’ association, to lock out teachers at the end of the school year. The association has issued a directive that limits student-teacher contact. This is no better. Education is more essential than it has ever been. The global nature of the economy means that B.C. students will be competing with students from all parts of the world as they leave the school system. They will be competing for spaces in postsecondary institutions, and for jobs. Holding up their progress, for months or even years, due to a labour dispute will do immeasurable damage to their future prospects.

More Viewpoints

What are teachers supposed to do? Editor: It’s a minor miracle, if you believe in miracles, that anyone wishes to enter public service. When nursing and teaching professionals come to the end of their contracts with the province, there is inevitable confrontation. These two most dedicated professional organizations are perennially in a race to the bottom for fair contracts. This time it’s teachers. The government, in its usual passive-aggressive posture, is trying to engineer confrontation with teachers to gauge the degree of public support. Historically, government makes an inadequate, insincere offer. Teachers respond with inschool minor measures that, typically, do not get negotiations moving. An escalation of action to draw attention to government’s refusal to negotiate is withdrawal of extra-curricular activities and rotating strikes.

This is where the confrontation is now. Old stuff! Nothing new! The public weighs in on the debate on radio talk shows with the usual moral outrage that teachers are about money and are using the children as pawns to that end. People who make that observation have not been in the classroom, and/or do not have children, and/or certainly do not understand teachers. No teacher wants to be out of her classroom. No teacher wants to alienate the parents she serves. No teacher wants to destroy the hard-won trust of students. What counter measures do teachers have to engage an employer who doesn’t want to negotiate? The autoworker or steelworker can shut down an assembly line and the employer loses production. Striking mill workers have a similar weapon. Those strikes usually get negotiations underway because of financial losses to the employer.

Certainly, workers lose also. Teachers have no such tangible apparatus to bring pressure to negotiate. When teachers take job action, they lose more than money; they lose instructional time; the continuity of learning is disrupted; the working relationship with parents and students is soured. Teachers’ self-respect is predicated on successful learning created by unique interactions with their students; when teachers are not with their students, their reason for being diminished. Teachers don’t take job action lightly. It’s unusual that an employee would want to work for an employer who doesn’t want to pay him. But that is the climate in which professional teachers in B.C. must operate. If the government would negotiate in good faith, teachers would be in the classroom where they want to be.

Global climate clock swiftly ticking down Editor: Unstoppable. Western Antarctic ice-sheet’s climate tipping point has been passed (NASA 5/12/14), adding to the irreversible melting Arctic. Critical questions: 1.) Why did this happen? 2.) Can others be prevented? Hampered scientific efforts to monitor/prevent the climate tipping-point of Northern permafrost meltdown geometrically compounds mankind’s catastrophic failures. Megalomania is Canadian world “super-power” status based on expanded global consumption of Canadian fossilfuels. Climate injustices are intergenerational crimes against future generations afflicted/perished willfully. Compromised global climate/social justice cascades climate-tipping points. Harmful social/environmental consequences are historical facts. Canadian/global democracies are deliberately besieged/ undermined.

Letters aLways weLcome

Turning back the clock, the legacy of Imperialism/Colonialism to plunder the planet’s wealth is alive and well. The world’s richest 300 now own more globally extracted wealth than the poorest three billion. The richest one per cent now owns 40 per cent of global wealth. The top 10 per cent now owns 85 per cent of global wealth. The bottom 90 per cent owns 15 per cent of global wealth. The poorest 50 per cent owns one percent of global wealth. Most in India “live” on $2 a day. Most in Indonesia “live” on $1 a day. Unequal antidemocratic gaps widens. In the next coming decade, the numbers of predatory billionaires are expected to double. Total autocracy doesn’t exist. Plutocrats/fossil-fuel corporations must buy “democratic” representatives/retainers. Bought retainers/legislators rule to secure the globally privileged elite. Billions are spent to consoli-

date top-class status. Locally/globally, democratic justice for all and human rights are trampled. What choices have we in a real democracy? Democratically, stop 13 climate tipping-points. Change local/global marketplaces to promote/work for local/ global equality, justice and peace. Plutocratic wealth finances massive Canadian/global fossilfuel consumption. Millions are spent for future pipelines and shipping allowing a tripled Canadian tar-sand industry ... millions for LNG ambitions/schemes, blocking 2C maximum globalclimate agreements. The climate clock is swiftly ticking down. Stop cascading climate tipping-points. Test the value and usefulness of democracy...for all the people globally. In 2014, decide to make a democratic difference. Fulfill Canada’s democratic destiny ... capably ... unstoppably.

Founder of Great Room to speak at Chamber luncheon We extend a warm welcome to our summer staff Amy Stafford and Alex Page. We have started our busy season and they would love to hear from you. If your business has something exciting going on that we could share with the public, let us know. We can help you plan your Cariboo holiday whether it is hiking, biking, bird watching, accommodations, fishing, geocaching, or anything else you might need to have a great holiday in our region. Call us toll free 1-877-967-5253 or visit our website. We invite everyone to attend our General Meeting luncheon on May 29, from 11:45 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Signal Point Restaurant. Chamber meetings offer businesses the opportunity to meet other businesses. The cost for lunch is $16 for members and $25 for others. Members are encouraged to enter one of our draws and your business could be profiled compliments of the Tribune and the GOAT radio station. Guest speakers will

CHAMBER CHATTER be Bill Van Es and Petrus Rykes who will speak on the campaign “Save the Discovery Coast Ferry.” We are pleased to also have Gwen McVicker — Founder of Linwood House Ministries who will talk about the Great Room. Why join the Chamber? This is probably the question that is asked the most and the answer is the same, contacts, contacts, contacts and networking, networking, and networking!! It is the single most important opportunity for your business. So you say I’ve heard that before but what does it mean. The short answer is use the opportunity as an excuse to interact with your peers, no matter if they work within your particular type of business or not. Networking is guaranteed to increase exposure to what you do

and creates a visual in a potential customer’s mind of each individual company. Now that you have started some networking, learn from each other. If you are a new business or have been around a long time (and some of you have) you can pick up new ideas or a different way to do something or find a common goal to perhaps work together. At least once a month at the Chamber of Commerce, the room is buzzing with all kinds of things. Sometimes when a member hasn’t attended for a few months they say there are new faces here. Of course, because things are always changing and you need to keep up with it. When you network you come out of the isolation that occurs to you sometimes in business. By being a member of an organization and staying involved, you become visible to your fellow members and who knows, you may be asked to become involved in the newest business venture.

$40,000 for B.C.,” he said. “This is a fantastic opportunity to drive donations for our food bank.” Randall said there will be a display set up at the front of the store, as well as special food bank paper bags customers can use to bring the items to the check out. According to Sabrina Silvey at the Williams Lake Salvation Army, the campaign couldn’t come at a better time.

Lake of the Trees Bible Camp registration underway Carole Rooney 100 Mile House Free Press Nestled in the woods just a 35-minute drive northeast of 100 Mile House is Lake Of The Trees Bible Camp (LOTT). Located on the sparkling shores of Lake Of The Trees, the Bible camp offers various three- to 10-day excursions between June 30 and Aug. 23 for children and youth in assorted age groups. There is always plenty of outdoor fun and activities, with canoeing, kayaking, swimming, tubing, blobbing and archery for junior campers (aged seven-10) right up to teens (13-16). Campers aged pre-teen (1013) and up can also enjoy the mini-golf course and fishing, while a climbing wall, water slide and paintball course at LOTT is open to the teens. Optional skills training is available for model rocketry (junior/pre-teen), water sports (teen) and horsemanship (preteen/teen). There’s even a two-night camp for “squirts” aged 6-9,

and a three-night family camp for the whole gang, mom and dad included. The Christian-centred Bible camp also provides an opportunity for campers to explore the scriptures and ask questions. Everyone gathers daily at the chapel and nightly at the campfire to sing songs and learn more about the Bible. Children and youth who are not religious or don’t go to church are welcomed at LOTT, and each year many do sign up for a chance to explore something new to them. While the majority are from the South Cariboo, campers come to LOTT from all over British Columbia and Alberta. Early bird savings are available for those who register before May 31. More information about the camp, the various sessions offered, work crew volunteering (ages 14 to 17) and registration forms is online at www.lakeofthetrees. com, or call 250-7915502.

Zone drama festival coming to Williams Lake Wednesday The Central Interior Drama Festival takes place at the Studio Theatre in Williams Lake this Wednesday to Saturday. Hot Theatre — four plays in four days — is being hosted by the Williams Lake Studio Theatre and promises to deliver top performances from three theatre groups. Kicking off the festival Wednesday, May 28, will be Williams Lake Studio Theatre’s presentation of Sense and Sensibility by Jon Jory. The play retells the classic tale of the Dashwood sisters and their struggles to find love. On Thursday, May

29, the Studio Theatre presents Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet. This play comes with a warning regarding extreme adult language, as it brings to life a story line revolving around four desperate real estate salesmen in 1980s era Chicago as they drag each other through deception, betrayal, catastrophe and a burglary. Friday, May 30, the Kersley Players of Kersley present Tales From Me and Irmie by Roy Teed. The production is an original play by Teed, a local playwright, and is considered adult comedy. The Pocket Theatre Company from Prince

Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.

How to get noticed in Monte Carlo

Alexandra Straub explores how to get noticed in Monte Carlo. By Alexandra Straub

Monte Carlo, Monaco: Everywhere you look, wealth abounds. The parking spaces in front of the Hotel de Paris and Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco, are filled with vehicles no less than $200K. Or should I say 200,000 Euros? I’m feeling a lot out of place. Ferraris, Maseratis, Bentleys, Porsches, Bugattis (yes plural) and other exotic vehicles seem to be a dime a dozen, as it were! Even the taxis are premium makes and models. The occasional “affordable” vehicle (like a 3 Series BMW or an Audi A5) manifests itself, but they already know they won’t be getting the premiere parking spots in town. So how do you get noticed in an area where such opulent sheet metal resides? A place where spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a vehicle is the unwritten rule, and even that might not be enough for a second glance. The answer is simple: the 2015 Ducati Diavel.

‘‘

Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away.

Alexandra Straub

’’

You can hear them coming from a mile away (sorry, 1.60934 kilometres if we are to be Continentally Correct). The devilish Ducati, even with the stock exhaust — which is new for the 2015 model year - could easily conjure sinister thoughts. You’ll look around and try and figure out where the sound is coming from and why that it isn’t familiar. The low-note grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are both aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. Now imagine amplifying that sound by more than 30. A flock of Carbon Whitetrimmed Diavels set out

to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo. That’s where our press briefing would take place. On the way to the gathering point, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track. Hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way for us. A reflective feeling overrides my senses while manipulating the same roads as some of motorsports’ greatest driver. It’s surreal. For a moment, I feel like a champion. Though, that moment lasted longer than I anticipated. The Bologna-based brand’s revised sport cruiser is one that commands attention. Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away. Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few

metres away. Never mind the Ferrari California with pristine paint and glimmering rims. The Ducatis are stealing all the attention and for good reason. Styling-wise, they have matured since its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more, Giving the strong road presence that it has is its commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire; a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel. Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was measured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg (452 lbs.) Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. And with 3 modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 horsepower (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent. With crowds taking photos of this beautiful beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It generates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm. And knowing that an item that costs at least ten times less than the vehicular ornamentation

King of the open road and a giant among minivans By Bob McHugh

When Honda launched its fourth generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as ‘the ultimate in family transportation’. Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics. While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still a sizeable in Canada. A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more, but historically it also retains its value exceptionally well. Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline. Offering seating for up to seven (or eight) occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rd-row seat. Even its third row seat provides ample head and legroom for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort. Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a larger window. A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story

to operate on just three or four of its six cylinders when power requirements are low, such as highway cruising. When linked with a sixspeed automatic transmission in the Touring edition of Odyssey it can achieve bestin-class city/highway fuel economy, rated at 10.9/7.1 L/100km (city/highway). The same engine comes standard with a five-speed automatic transmission in all other trim levels of Odyssey, which are LX, EX, EX-RES and EX-L.

Performance oriented Volvo Sportswagon is no oxymoron By Keith Morgan

The words performance and Volvo rarely appear in the same sentence but the new 2015 V60 Sportswagon R-Design should change the perception that the Swedish manufacturer is only capable of producing reliable and safety conscious products to the exclusion of excitement. This performance oriented T6 AWD version pumps out 325 horsepower, topping the base T6 by 25 horses and a massive 75 more than the four-cylinder and fuel efficient base T5. A week aboard this wagon showed it to be a very sporty machine on the highway and at its utilitarian best in the city. Combine some paddle shift action with the auto transmission in Sport mode and you can push the car from zero to 100 klicks in about six seconds. Taking the V60 at speed around the twisties along the Sea to Sky Highway demonstrated its excellent road holding and handling capabilities, courte-

sy of corner traction control. Ergonomic seats ensure the driver is also firmly gripped in those corners. Gee, I forgot I was in a Volvo. But before we run away with the idea that Volvo has abandoned what it is best known for; it should be mentioned that there is an option to add the world’s first Cyclist Detection and auto brake technology to the line! — That most certainly makes it a Vancouver car, given that city’s love for all-thingcycling. This coupe-like wagon looks good too. A wide grille greets you and the classic Volvo-V shaped sculpted hood is still there but cleaner contemporary styled lines that flow back towards the traditional taillights support it. Inside the designers drew cues from contemporary Scandinavian furniture, featuring wood and leather. The rear seats fold down in three 40/20/40 segments so adding still more space to the already generous 430 litres to the rear of the seats. Parents of young children will

in the R-Design version is a smart move for a company trying to win new friends among affluent car buyers. Make no mistake these are prestige vehicles with a

fitting price tag. The base four-cylinder models start at around $42,000 and the R-Design driven by your truly topped $51,000. I’ve also driven – if briefly –

other Volvos equipped with the new Drive-E four-cylinder engines, mated to 8-speed auto transmissions, and they are remarkable. They offer a performance more akin to a

Many people line the streets downtown in Williams Lake Sunday for the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Monday, May 26 to Sunday, June 1 Bike to Work and School Week

Lakers Show and Shine for 17th time Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The 17th annual Lakers Car Club Show and Shine and Spring Roundup lit up the city’s downtown core Sunday as 214 entrants lined the streets with their vehicles. LCC secretary Paul Christianson said people came from far and wide to attend the car show — a twoday event which began Saturday with a poker run, dinner and trip to the race track, before the festivities wrapped up Sunday with the main event downtown. “There was a very good turn out of local cars but, also, it was rewarding to see so many out-oftown people,” Christianson said. “There were a dozen cars from Washington, as well as from all across B.C.” He added the long distance award went to Mark Lipton from Calgary, Alta. During the weekend, 66 trophies were handed out, along with hundreds of door prizes, he said. “Of special interest was the people’s choice award picked up by Jos Geenson from Williams Lake, with his newly-finished 1967 Acadian,” he said. “People’s choice bike went to Tom Hodgson from Big Creek.” A drizzle of rain Sunday morn-

ing didn’t allow for the event to slow down as the show proceeded as planned. “Out came the sun and the show was back on with door prizes, games, music and vendors,” he said. “A huge credit must be given to the Williams Lake business community which supported us in record fashion.” Awards were presented based on votes from the public and, in the trophy class, from capable judges.

Blue Fins host Swim-A-Thon fundraiser The Williams Lake Blue Fins annual Swim-A-Thon fundraiser was another big splash. WLBF head coach Chad Webb said it was attended by almost 50 swimmers. “Before most of the town had got out of bed on Sunday morning, most of the younger swimmers

had completed more than a kilometre, while the older swimmers rattled off a brisk fivekilometre swim in a little over an hour,” he said. Swimmers had up to 120 minutes to complete as many laps of the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool as they could, up to a maximum of five kilome-

tres. “We had some firstyear swimmers doing more than two kilometres and some six year olds swimming up to and past one kilometre,” Webb said. The event was followed by a breakfast and a showing of a movie at Paradise Cinemas, which also joined in the event in

RACING: CANCELLED

Rain puts damper on season opener Angie Mindus Staff Writer A record amount of race car drivers arrived, excited fans lined the banks, but in the end the weather had the final say at Thunder Mountain Speedway’s season opener last weekend. With only a few races and a half hour into the event, the skies opened up and the rain came down putting a stop to the event due to safety concerns on the wet track. Dedicated fans and organizers remained hopeful throughout the evening that the show might go on, but even the best efforts of volunteers driving the track to help keep it dry was no match for the ongoing rain showers Saturday evening and into Sunday morning. The premier race event –– the highly anticipated ASA Advanced Testing Sportsman Series –– was cancelled because of inclement weather. “If we can possibly come back, we will,” Brigitte Clay-

ton, time keeper and score person for the ASA Series said Sunday morning as more than half of the drivers remained on site, still hopeful to race. Another rain storm after noon Sunday dashed all hopes and the race was called. “This is a great facility to come back to — the people are great and we really like the things your president Tim Westwick is doing.” ASA Series Race Director Kendall Thomas said the season opener attracted a record number of racers –– 24 from all corners of the province –– and organizers are hoping to reschedule the race for some time in August. “It’s the fastest 3/8th mile in the province ... it’s unique in the way it’s designed,” Thomas said. Thomas said the ASA Series cars reach speeds of up to 80-miles-per-hour on the Williams Lake track. Despite the rain, participants from the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine and Spring Roundup still arrived in style at the

track with their vintage vehicles to drive a few laps for the ap-

preciative crowd. Next up for Thunder Mountain Speed-

way is Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday, June 14.

As I am sure any girl might say, becoming a “Queen” would be a dream come true. For me, becoming the 2014 Williams Lake Stampede Queen would not only be a dream come true, it would also be an honour. Representing the sport of rodeo and our city of Williams Lake is something I feel I already do, and something I strive to do more of with my family history, my own passions, and my goals for the future. My grandparents came to Canada from Austria in 1949. Upon arrival, they moved to Alkali Lake Ranch where they lived with and worked for the von Riedemann family for two years. While they were living at the Alkali Lake Ranch, my grandparents met and worked with members of the Twan family, the Maurice family, and the Isnardy family. Although not in my life, I am aware that my father’s side of the family has a strong rodeo background. I have always loved animals, and for as long as I can remember, horses have been my favourite. It took me 12 long years to finally convince my mom that no, I would not get “bored” of having a horse after a week or two. Come my 12th birthday, I got my first horse, “Dandy.” After that day there was no turning back, and as the saying goes: “Horses are like potato chips, you can’t have just one.” I am currently attending school in Vernon (part time) at the B.C. College of Equine Therapy. Upon graduating from this school, I will become a certified Equine Sport Therapist. After graduating I hope to possibly run for Miss Rodeo Canada. My other plans include traveling to Africa to work with children and elephants, and possibly attending “The Assisi International Animal Institute.” As an individual from the youth population in Williams Lake, a statement I hear a lot is: “I can’t wait to leave this place.” This statement makes me sad, because I often find myself saying “I can’t wait to come home.” That is what Williams Lake is to me, home. I believe Williams Lake is a place to come home to. With my family history and personal history, my passion of rodeo and horses, and my knowledge base and future goals, I would be honoured to represent my home, Williams Lake, as the 2014 Williams Lake Stampede Queen.

Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen should be an inspiring woman who strives to promote our city and the beloved sport of rodeo. As a young woman who upholds her morals and values, embodies a western lifestyle, loves people and serving others, obtaining the title of Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen would allow me to fulfill many ambitions in my life. I have great respect for the industry, contestants, and women before me who have held this title. Being Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen would allow me to inspire our youth to continue their love for rodeo. I believe that becoming a contestant will help me build my confidence and teach me to feel free and comfortable with speaking in front of crowds. All of the skills I will obtain from the competition will benefit me in all my future endeavours, as I plan on attending TRU Kamloops Campus in the fall to obtain my Bachelor of Science. Becoming Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen would give me the chance to represent and serve our magnificent city as an ambassador for the professional sport of rodeo, the western lifestyle and the strong family values it represents. Growing up around rodeo has taught me so much. I watched my parents and a friend compete in this great sport. I can think of no greater job than representing the sport and the city that I love. Rodeo and the western way of life continue to shape the person I am today. When you live a western lifestyle you do it with faith, integrity, determination, kindness, honesty, and a life that centers on family. Many people are trying to get rid of the western way of life and traditions that we have held on to for generations and being able to stand as an ambassador of the sport would be such a wonderful opportunity. I have grown up admiring the women who have worn the Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen crown. For me, Miss Williams Lake Stampede Queen is a woman who embraces the western lifestyle, holds strong to her values, is a role model for younger generations, and knows the importance of family and faith. These are qualities I have always strived to uphold both inside and outside the arena.  Go for your goals and go for your dreams.

My name is Michelle Ball. I am 19 years old and I was born and raised in Williams Lake. My family held and still holds several box seats at the World Famous Williams Lake Stampede. Every year I have sat in excited anticipation of the Grand Entry and the exchanging of crowns to the new Royalty. The girls were always so beautiful and proficient in horsemanship and I often dreamed that I could enter the competition and inspire young girls to compete and represent our city and our Stampede. I have always loved horses, but was never fortunate enough to have one of my own. I learned to ride when I was six, but that was just riding for pleasure. In 2012, Ashley Fadenrecht taught me about reining and becoming a better rider. I appreciated her instruction and patience and I loved working with her and her beautiful bay, Shiloh. The three of us developed a strong bond and Ashley’s encouragement strengthened my resolve to run and help other girls to ride and compete. I feel that it would be an honour to be the Ambassador of the Williams Lake Stampede. I would love to travel to other rodeos in B.C., Alberta, the rest of Canada and the U.S. I enjoy promoting our city and the Stampede and have done so on numerous trips around B.C. and beyond. I played rep soccer for six years and attended many provincial championships. I also played in the Hawaiian Invitational. I curled at the Northern Winter Games in Prince Rupert and the Junior Provincials in Victoria. These occasions gave me the opportunity to tell others about our beautiful city and our world famous Stampede. Although I was unavailable in 2013, I volunteered with the Stampede Association the previous four years. I enjoyed working with the directors and the Stampede committee and it was always fun interacting with our rodeo competitors. I look forward to the 2014 royalty competition, the new acquaintances I will meet and the opportunity to represent the Williams Lake Stampede and hopefully inspire more young people to become involved in rodeos and our community.

Annual salmon festival coming up Sept. 27 on BC Rivers Day Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor An even dozen people participated at the regular meeting of the Horsefly River Roundtable May 15 at the Horsefly Library. There was a full agenda, and it was a two-hour meeting. We have funding for a new outhouse at the campground across the bridge, so as soon as the river level has dropped we will be proceeding with this project. The annual salmon festival will take place on the BC Rivers Day weekend, September 27 and 28 this year with the Arts on the Fly providing entertainment on Saturday night at the Community Hall. There will be a photo contest, criteria not decided as yet, so camera buffs be prepared. The agreement for the Roundtable to manage the Department of Fisheries and Oceans land where the salmon spawning channel is located, the campground area and now the Riparian Park area is almost complete for another five year term. The Arts on the Fly committee were also present at the meeting, and assured us there will be tight security at their next festival to prevent out-of-town teens from taking advantage of the time to party in the campground. That will not happen this year.

There have been some misconceptions regarding the Roundtable involvement with the Environmental Farm Group Plan. The following is the clear concept as explained by Steve Hocquard: “ARDCorp (BC Agricultural Research & Development Corporation) has accepted a Letter of Intent from the HRR regarding an Environmental Farm Plan Group Plan for Horsefly and Beaver Valley. The next step in the process will be working with Farm Plan Advisor Cathy Mumford to complete a Planning Proposal, which will focus on agricultural — environmental risk assessments for our local watersheds. Beginning in June, local agricultural producers will be contacted and invited to participate in the process of identifying and prioritizing local environmental issues. If successful, the Group Farm Plan may provide increased funding incentives to eligible producers.” The HRR will be working with Mount Polley Mining Corporation to restore fish habitat as part of a Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Offset Plan. Offset Plans were introduced with the recently revised fisheries legislation which requires restoration efforts as compensation for unavoidable damage to fish habitat. The legislation requires

the

weekend

these restoration efforts to focus on DFO fisheries management objectives and priorities. The HRR maintains close communication with DFO habitat biologists on these management issues and is pleased to have an opportunity to collaborate with Mount Polley in addressing one of the priorities. The Smallmouth Bass plan of action is still being put together, and will be discussed at the next meeting in June. This is the first meeting I have attended in person for some time, and I was struck by the 100 per cent opposition to even proceeding with stage one of the three proposed independent pump and power projects. One former DFO biologist who was working in 2010 when the five other IPPs were turned down described the impact of these IPPs on the environment, wildlife, fish and people as “catastrophic.” A local rancher/trapper whose trapline is in the Hen Ingram Lake area also wrote a letter to the roundtable, expressing his concerns over the proposed power project. The Horsefly Community Club is forwarding a letter to the proponent asking for a town hall meeting as the proponent has indicated this is a part of the process. The roundtable concurs. Stage one of the Wood-

jam Creek Restoration Project will be completed by the end of May or early June; stage two will start in late August, as well as stage three possible reparations to Kroener Creek. These reparations are something the Roundtable is extremely proud of doing in tandem with DFO and the land owner, and have a positive impact on the fish habitat. It was noted that despite signage all over the place warning motor bikers that our salmon trail is for pedestrian and disabled traffic only, people still don’t give a darn about the thousands of dollars the Roundtable spends on an annual basis to maintain the damage done by thoughtless children on their toys. I was asked to put a gentle reminder to these individuals to please

Annual Nimpo Lake Canoe Race fun for all Ted Hlokoff Special to Tribune/Advisor The annual Nimpo Lake Canoe Race paddled its way from Nimpo Lake to Anahim Lake during the weekend. The festivities began with a pancake breakfast served at the Nimpo Lake public boat launch prepared by Nimpo/Anahim Lake community volunteers. Five canoes paddled the Dean River this year for big bucks. One canoe was piloted by a pair of young women, one canoe was paddled by Richard and Leah Simon. Three teams of men pushed off from shore in the other three canoes. Starting at around 11 a.m. all five canoes left the Nimpo public boat launch and turned their bows west towards Anahim Lake. Conditions were excellent as the Dean River was experiencing high water at this time of year.

ADULT $25 CHILD $10

An authentic live tribute to Don Messer’s Jubilee hosted by Canadian Fiddle Champion Scott Woods & Band and featuring Cape Breton Tenor Tommy Leadbeater (as Charlie Chamberlain). Old Time Fiddle Music, Step Dancing,Trick Fiddling, Family Humour and More!
