All smiles, Jim Beaucage enjoys a bit of sunshine in Herb Gardner Park while he makes a traditional African style drum called an Ashiko, against a backdrop of colourfully decorated “yarn bombed” trees featuring creative yarn decorations by Williams Lake Community Arts Council member groups and affiliates. He says he makes the wooden shell of the drum from recycled oak, and the top drum membrane out of goat skin, which he says produces the best sound. Three decorated steel hoops lashed together with rope hold the drum together.

Vol. 84 No. 29
The RCMP Arson team and North District Regional General Investigation Section are investigating a suspicious fire that destroyed the Esdilagh (Alexandria) First Nation Band Office. “Shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a commercial alarm at the Esdilagh First Nation Band Office,” the RCMP said in a press release. “While en route to the alarm, RCMP were advised that the band office was actually on fire.” When police arrived at the West Fraser Road site they discovered community members attempting to fight the fire which had almost completely engulfed the building. Despite these efforts, the building was completely destroyed, police said. Anyone with any information regarding the fire is asked to call the Quesnel RCMP at 250992-9211. Or, if they wish to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Crimestoppers pays up to $2,000 in cash rewards for information which leads to an arrest and charge.

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week WILLIAMS LAKE
Q: What will be the question central Cariboo Recreation boundary voters will be asked to make a decision on during the 2014 Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum on November 15? A: The question will read as follows: “Are you in favour of the Cariboo Regional District adopting Bylaws 4906 and 4907, which will authorize the borrowing of up to $10 million over 20 years and increase the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services annual taxation limit to a maximum of the greater of $3,500,000 or $1.98/$1,000 of assessed value of land and improvements, to provide for the upgrade and renovation of the pool and amenities at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex? (Based on 2014 assessed values, the estimated annual cost to undertake this borrowing and operate the upgraded pool translates to a residential tax rate increase of approximately $40/$100,000. The new taxation limit for recreation services of $3,500,000 translates to a residential tax rate of $148/$100,000 of the net taxable assessed value of land and improvements.)”

HELP THE CITY SAVE WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT WITH THE LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM Many homes in Williams Lake are equipped with older toilets, dishwashers or clothes washers that require more water to operate. New low flow toilets and appliances require much less water while doing the same function. By replacing your old toilet and appliances, you could use up to one-third less water! That could save the average household more than 300 liters per day, or 100,000 liters per year. The City is offering a MAXIMUM of two rebates per residential unit per year. 1. Toilets using 4.8 liters or less, with a Maximum Performance (MaP) Tested approved new low flow fixture. Visit website www.cwwa.ca/freepub_e.asp to view. 2. Dishwashers that are on the approved list on the City’s website. 3. Clothes washers that are on the approved list on the City’s website.
WHY HAS THE CITY INITIATED THIS LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM? The City of Williams Lake wants to reduce the amount of water consumed as well as the amount of water flowing into the sanitary sewer system. It costs money to treat the water coming in and going out of your house. Using less water saves both money and the environment for everyone who lives in and around the Cariboo.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE REBATE?
This offer is only for owners of residential units that are connected to the City of Williams Lake’s Water and Sewer system. There is a YEARLY limit of two toilets/appliance rebates per residential unit. Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
For new construction in the City of Williams Lake, all plumbing must adhere to the BC Plumbing codes. However, the City is providing rebates for those
JOIN US ONLINE!
property owners or contractors who choose to install MaP approved Dual Flush toilets (3/4.8L) and 3 liter fixtures instead of the minimum code requirement for toilet installation. There is no maximum for this incentive.
WHAT ABOUT MY OLD TOILET OR APPLIANCE?
Your old toilet or appliance must be disposed of at the City of Williams Lake’s Municipal Worksyard at 555 N Second Avenue. You must have a copy of the approved Rebate Form with you when the fixture is dropped off. The form must be signed by a City representative.
WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR THE REBATE PROGRAM?
1. Pick up an application form at City Hall, Development Services, 450 Mart Street. Fill it in and return to City Hall. 2. Provide a receipt for the purchase of an approved low flow fixture. 3. Provide proof of installation of a low flow toilet or appliance and proof that the old toilet or appliance has been brought to the Municipal Worksyard. This is achieved by: • An inspection of the newly installed toilet in place by a City Representative. • A signed copy of the application form proving the old unit was dropped off at the Municipal Worksyard located at 555 North Second Avenue. 4. You must agree to permit the representative of the City of Williams Lake access to inspect the installation. Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit. City staff will review your application and, if you qualify, the City of Williams Lake will mail you a cheque for each eligible low flow toilet or appliance (up to two rebates per residential dwelling per year). This program is on a first come first serve basis. Your application must be approved by the Development Services Coordinator prior to purchasing a low flow toilet to guarantee a rebate.

Honda Civic stolen and set on fire The RCMP and Williams Lake fire department responded to a vehicle fire on Bond Lake Road Friday, July 18. At 7:12 a.m. the RCMP received a report of a stolen 1991 green Honda Civic, taken sometime overnight from a residence in the 700 block of Eleventh Avenue North. Two and half hours later at 9:49 a.m. it was located on the Bond Lake road. It had been set on fire and was completely destroyed. The RCMP highlighted two files from the weekend — an attempted assault with bear spray and damage to a government vehicle. A 21-year-old male was assaulted in Williams Lake Sunday, July 20. At 10:50 p.m.,
RCMP responded to a report of that a male was walking near the 200 block of Donald Road when he was confronted by three individuals. One male, wearing a bandana over his face, attempted to bear spray him, but the wind carried the spray away allowing the victim to run into a nearby store and call the police. The suspects were described as a female wearing all black clothing, a male wearing a large white T-shirt and a male wearing a red hoodie and red bandana. The suspects fled into Boitanio park upon hearing the police sirens, however were located and arrested for assault by officers. The investigation revealed all subjects involved in the inci-
dent were known to each other. The matter is still under investigation. On Monday July 21, at 6:11 a.m. the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a report that a vehicle had been damaged in a parking lot in the 500 block of Borland Street. Officers attended and noted two large shoe prints on the passenger side doors of a white 2014 Chevy Equinox registered to the ministry of agriculture. The vehicle was last seen undamaged on July 18. No other vehicles in the lot were damaged. Police are asking anyone with information pertaining to this matter to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Two band councillors have been voted in at Yunesit’in (Stone Indian Band) after a band election Monday. Newcomer Jessica Setah-Alphonse received 70 votes and Gabe Pukacz returned with 58 votes. “I am happy with the results,” said Chief Russ Myers Ross who is half-way through a four-year term as chief. “We keep Gabe who has a lot of experience
on a variety of issues and we added Jessica Setah-Alphonse who has experience as a teacher at Yunesit’in, and a good foundation of education and experience on the land.” In the election, Ellery Brigham received 57 votes, Darnell Myers received 41 and Lennon Solomon garnered 29. It’s hard to see Darnell leaving council, the Chief said. “He was very honest, but he will continue his work with the youth.”

Students excel in heavy duty mechanics Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Students enrolled in a heavy duty mechanic apprenticeship program in Williams Lake are excelling, instructor Tom Logan said Tuesday during a meet and greet with industry. Eleven First Nations students are enrolled in the six-month program, which is being offered through the Aboriginal Mentoring and Training Association (AMTA) at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) Williams Lake Campus. “These students have worked extremely hard,” Logan said as he introduced the students. “Their marks are as high as any class I’ve ever taught and I’ve been teaching in Terrace for over 25 years.” The students were picked by AMTA to pursue the program and come from various communities. “Being a mechanic pretty well runs in our family,” Racine Dimitrov from Anaham said. Keith Thomas, from Fort St. James, has always had an interest in mechanics, while Kory
Thompson Rivers University Gathering Place co-ordinator Rhonda Johnson says she’s enjoyed getting to know the students presently enrolled in the Heavy Duty Mechanic Apprenticeship Program during a meet and greet with industry and the students. Billy from Canoe Creek said he has been looking for a career opportunity. “I believe this is the path for me and I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out,” Billy said. Shawn Cloutier, originally from the Mount Currie Band, has lived
in Williams Lake for 25 years and said he first heard about the program from Rhonda Johnson
who runs the Gathering Place at TRU. “She directed me to the AMTA office. It was
a quick and painless process and here I am,” Cloutier smiled. Justin Meldrum grew
up on a ranch and has been around heavy equipment all his life, so it made sense to take the training. “I love the course,” he said. The students had the opportunity to meet representatives from Gibraltar Mine, Taseko Mines Ltd., Ledcor, the Mining Association of B.C., Industry Training Authority, TRU, Xats’ull Band, School District 27 and former chief Ervin Charleboy who said he hopes to see more programs for young people. The program grew out of a conversation with Gibraltar Mine’s vice president of operations Dave Rouleau, Taseko’s community and aboriginal affairs manager Christy Smith, and AMTA, said northeastern B.C. regional manager Sharon McLeod. “Leonard Jackson, our director of operations asked Dave, ‘what
do you need?, what do you want? what can we do?’ and Dave immediately responded with heavy duty mechanics, that go the ball rolling and here we are,” McLeod said. Originally 28 candidates were interested in the program, 13 enrolled, and 11 have remained. Logan phoned McLeod last week and told her the lowest mark on the midterm exam was 87 per cent. “They just go up from there,” McLeod said, adding AMTA is very proud of the students. Taseko’s Manager of Community and Aboriginal Affairs Christy Smith said the company is very proud of the students and plans to employ four of the apprentices at Gibraltar when they complete the program in August. Mount Polley has committed to hire two of the graduates, McLeod said.

Tech minister promises more broadband Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer When it comes to gaps in broadband or cellular services in the Cariboo, B.C.’s minister of technology, innovation and citizens services wants to hear about it. Last week Andrew Wilkinson visited Williams Lake and attended meetings arranged by CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. He heard concerns about cell coverage at Chimney and Felker Lakes more than once, he said. “The issue there is that the winter resident population is much smaller than the summer resident population so the demand is very seasonal,” Wilkinson said. “We’ve now got to go back and push on Telus to convince them that the seasonal demands of retirement warrants putting up a tower to service the area.” Te l e c o m m u n i c a tion companies work in consortiums and
will sometimes club together to put up a tower, with one of the companies agreeing to be the lead proponent, Wilkinson explained. Once the tower’s erected and functional, each company pays for the proportion of traffic that belongs to them. Access to landline internet in the province is presently at 93 per cent, and will never get to 100 per cent, so the province is pushing to work from the far end backwards to the most remote locations with live broadband. In April the provincial government announced it had partnered with Xplornet Communications Inc. and local installers to provide subsidy to people who live where satellite technology is the only option to access the internet. Customers could receive assistance for installation costs to the tune of 50 per cent or up to $250. Wilkinson said
take up has been “pretty brisk,” especially in places like fishing lodges.
His ministry is also trying to “grow the role” of the province’s 61 BC Service
Centres. “We have capable and motivated staff so we’re trying to get
more and services into their hands because they deliver them very quickly,” Wilkinson said. “And we’re wanting them to take on a bigger role in organ donation.” About 1.4 million people have the new services cards in a population of 4.6 million so as people renew driver’s licenses there will be an opportunity to talk to customers about organ donation. While 50 per cent
of the population believe they are registered as organ donors, only 19 per cent are registered. There has also been a pilot project in Cranbrook where the social services ministry and BC Service Centre are in the same building. “People have been very happy with that arrangement,” Wilkinson said. “We are trying to make the retail front of government readily accessible.”

Be prepared
Too much smoke Where there is smoke there is fire, and vice versa. Much too much smoke last week. Other parts of our country have floods and windstorms, B.C. has fires. It’s only mid-July and the province has already blown its firefighting budget. Speaking from her constituency in West Kelowna last week, Premier Christy Clark French said it Connection could get Diana French worse. A c c o rd ing to the Penticton Herald, Ms. Clark said she said given the realities of climate change and the drying climate, the province has to be more prepared for a drier future. She is also reported as saying the province is not going to stop spending money on firefighting just because it is expensive. That’s good to hear. If money isn’t a problem, how about bringing back the Martin Mars waterbomber. In a move that in hindsight seems pennywise and pound foolish, the government cancelled its contract for the huge flying firefighter last year. A petition is being circulated asking the government to re-instate it. Speaking of climate change, four B.C. professional associations, representing more than 9,000 biologists, technologists, and professional planners, recently released a joint statement recognizing that “climate change is occurring and it has fundamental impacts on British Columbia’s communities and ecosystems.” This joint statement from professional associations is said to be a first. Along with committing the associations to take steps to enable and encourage their members to incorporate the best available climate science into their professional decisions, the statement asks all levels of government to support the role of professionals through strong action and leadership on climate change. Let’s hope Ms. Clark is listening. Historian, author and retired Tribune editor and teacher, Diana French is a Tribune columnist.

Booze and boats don’t mix on the water With the current temperatures heating up again, staying cool is important. However, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is reminding all boat owners that drinking and boating is illegal and unwise. According to CSBC, about 40 per cent of all boating-related fatalities are alcohol-related. The CSBC, along with law enforcement agencies across the country, are using the August long weekend to remind all boaters, including sailboats, canoes and kayaks to raise awareness about boating and drinking with Operation Dry Water. In the second year of the campaign, Operation Dry Water aims to reduce the number of alcoholrelated fatalities on Canadian waterways as well as provide a visible deterrent to drinking and boating.
With several gorgeous lakes to choose from, local boaters and visitors have plenty of opportunities to cool off without having to resort to alcohol. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a boater can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel if their blood alcohol concentration exceeds the 0.08 threshold while operating a vessel. A first offence can see the boater liable for a fine of $600. A second offence carries a 14-day prison sentence, and a third offence extends that to 90 days. With the number of vessels plying the waters of area lakes, especially during the tourist season, it is imperative that all vessel operators be alert to their surroundings. Be dry, be safe.

Authorities issue evacuation alerts and orders to protect you and your family. They should be followed so firefighting and emergency crews can concentrate suppressing wildfires, and protecting the entire community in danger of a potential spreading wildfire. Here are some tips found directly at emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca on how to prepare a n d MLA what to Musings do if an evacuaDonna Barnett tion alert or order has been issued. Stay calm. Listen to the alert broadcast or instructions given to you by authorities and write down the exact evacuation route to the emergency centre. A short cut could leade to danger. Grab your emergency kit which should have at least 72 hours of water, food and utensils, matches, first aid kit, batteries and flashlight. Bring several days of clothing, medicine or prescriptions, cell phone, purse, wallet, keys, pets in their kennel or on a leash with enough food for several days. Bring a comfort item for your children and if there is time consider gathering mementos and precious photos. Before you leave, close your windows, doors and gates but keep them unlocked in case emergency crews need to enter. Shut off water at the main line, switch off electricity and leave your natural gas service on. Check on family or neighbours especially if they have mobility issues in case they need assistance. Be aware of the dangers of wildfire and get prepared as soon as possible as wildfire conditions can change within a matter of days. Finally, I would like to thank our hard working firefighting and emergency crews protecting our community and forests. They are doing a great job and we should all be proud of their service to British Columbia. Donna Barnett is the MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

At the same time, B.C. could reduce the access deficiencies with Enbridge and possibly Kinder Morgan, extend a utility corridor form Vanderhoof across the central plateau to Anahim Lake, then follow the old railway survey down to the Bella Coola Valley, then on to Bella Coola. The sea port at Bella Coola has two major routes to the open Pacific Ocean, one on each side of King Island. Both channels could be used by tankers, with three side inlets for parking ships, all protected from the open sea. The highway from Vanderhoof already extends to the Kenney Dam, and there are numerous logging roads that could be unitized.
This highway was proposed about 40 years ago, before mining, logging and gas exploration. The pine beetle infestation resulted in major expansion of the logging, and the search and probable discovery of natural gas also could benefit from this development. A proper highway extension from Anahim Lake down to the Bella Coola Valley could follow the pipeline route, providing a modest road grade, thus improving a safe route for the people residing there, and tourism and ferry service could benefit the region. Kinder Morgan should not be allowed to twin its pipelines into the Burrard Inlet-BurnabyPort Moody-Vancover area. As their existing pipeline from Alberta turns South at Tete Jaune Cache on Highway 16, and follows Highway 5 to Kamloops, the new line could continue west along Highway 16 to Vanderhoof. The line could then follow along with the en-
bridge line in a ‘utility corridor’ to Bella Coola. David Black’s proposal to build a refinery to eliminate moving bitumen (dolbit) into tankers, and adding value to the product is a good business plan. However, if the refinery was established at the B.C./Alberta border, near Tumbler Ridge, a refined product could be moved by pipelines across B.C. and onto tankers. This would reduce any damage to the environment both on land and in the sea, at the same time providing a better dollar return to those involved. There would be fewer First Nations bands involved on this route, and an initial and fully involved dialogue and participation should be a priority for both the pipeline companies, our B.C. government and the federal government. Something to think about. Reg Norberg Williams Lake
Aboriginal title doesn’t “lock in” communal ownership Editor: Just some clarifications regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, “Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision” (B.C. Views, July 2). 1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult and accommodate is proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done). Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development proposal respecting their land – unless the government
Letters aLways weLcome

supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent. 2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily “lock in” communal ownership. Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be re-conveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee simple. I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no easier in the former scenario that the latter, but it may be. 3. The Tsilhqot’in had a long history of keeping others out,
and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade. But they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.” They expelled everyone. In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a wagon road through their territory – he had warned darkly of bringing back the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier – they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory.

Care cart donated to Seniors Village Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of businesses in the community, Seniors Village now has a palliative care cart for use by families and friends of endof-life residents. The idea for the cart got its initial push after maintenance manager Todd Gueho donated a cart that could be rolled around to different rooms. It’s not too big and bulky but the cart has room for a variety of things that can be used by people of all ages. Within a short period of time, staff had filled the cart with books, games, toys, lotions, note cards, towels, snacks and flameless LED candles.
“Donations from the community were unbelievable,” social worker Elizabeth Canjura Jelks said. “Many businesses we approached gave us donations then and there. First Editions donated 50 religious books.” One staff member was cleaning out her son’s toys and brought in some small cars to go in the cart as well. It is hoped the cart will help provide comfort to families and friends who are spending time with a loved one at the village. Anyone who would like to donate items for the cart is encouraged to contact marketing manager Laurette Vike. “The need for keeping the cart stocked will be ongoing,” Vike said.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.
“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Demand for meals on wheels rises on the rise in lakecity The demand for Meals on Wheels in Williams Lake has increased. In June volunteers served 250 more trays than they did during the same time period in 2013, said Sharon Taphorn, who became the program’s co-ordinator on June 20, replacing Alice Groenenberg. The program offers affordable meals three days a week to seniors, disabled persons who live independently or who people newly out of the hospital who may need assistance for a temporary period.

We promote the well being of business in Williams Lake and District and foster a work, stay and play at home atmosphere to all residents. Welcome to our newest members: A &W Restaurant, Homathko River Inn, Kayanara Guest Ranch and Resort, and Ponderosa Resort. We look forward to meeting you all at the general meeting. On June 26, the Supreme Court of Canada granted a declaration of aboriginal title to more than 1,700 square kilometres of land in B.C.’s central interior to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation. While many of us including the BC Chamber of Commerce are still in the process of reviewing the full implications of the decision, our initial assessment is that this decision, while important, will not result in significant change to the way in which decisions around resource projects are made. The two aspects of this decision that are of particular relevance and importance are aboriginal title and the implications this will have on how decisions are made regarding the use of the land base. Join us for a special customer service workshop on Thursday, Aug. 7 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We are offering an affordable price of $80 p.p. or two from the same company for $150.

the Williams Lake Tribune and Cariboo Country and the Goat. Our guest speakers this month are Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett and James Douglas, Manager of the Visitor Experience at Barkerville. We had a number of visitors disappointed recently over not being able to reserve on the Bella Coola ferry. Due to the size of the replacement ship, most sailings for the short summer season are not available. As of mid-July we are asking visitors if they will provide us with their contact information or at the very least track the numbers. The ferry trip is spectacular and it is a shame it is still one of the best kept secrets in this region. The decision to dra-

Horsefly centre’s new ramp officially opened Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor The Horsefly Seniors Activity and Wellness Society has finally achieved total accessibility with the completion of a major ramp into their activity centre next to the new fire hall. Funded by the BC Rehabilitation Foundation and the Truck Loggers Association, the ramp and roof were constructed un-
der the supervision of Hugh Barrett who was ably assisted by Jim Farquharson and Jack Biggs; all volunteer labour as well as all seniors themselves. Those of us who have mobility issues are truly grateful. Another job well done, and once again Horsefly is probably the only completely accessible community in B.C., thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers.

Perfect Match with Cindy Lightfoot and LeRae Haynes are on stage at 6 p.m. play-

tunes.” Nice Verdes from Pemberton take the stage at 7 p.m. Nice Verdes play original and Indie World music, Cuban Son, Vallenatos, Cumbias, Chachacha and more.

Stampede royals enjoy Calgary visit Stampede Queen Michelle Ball Special to Tribune/Advisor Stampede Princess Matina Durfeld and I just returned from an invitation to the Calgary Stampede. More than 18 royalty were guests for a full week at Calgary’s “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.” It was an exciting and action packed week. Matina and I were thrilled to be invited to tour the set of Heartland and meet with the owner John Scott on our very first day in Calgary. Later that day, we visited the Roper, Stetson, and Tin Haul warehouse where we met Jim Nevada. He briefly gave us a history in his family’s involvement in the business and sponsored us with three shirts, a pair of jeans and boots and a Stetson travel bag! Thank you Jim, we enjoyed our afternoon and your support and well wishes for our reign. It is greatly appreciated. That evening we attended a meet and greet with all the visiting royalty where we met the 2014
Stampede Princess Matina Durfeld (left) and Stampede Queen Michelle Ball on the set of Heartland with producer John Scott. Calgary Stampede Queen and Princesses. Many of the ladies were from all across Alberta; others were from Spokane, Wa., Illinois, Iowa and Miss Rodeo Queen of Australia.
We were the only royalty from B.C. I have to say we felt a little bit special! On Friday morning, Matina and I had the privilege of riding horses from Heartland in the
Calgary parade. We attended the Stampede performances, the chuck wagon races and spent one morning enjoying the Gitty up Grits pancake breakfast and fair with some very special disabled children and their families. We smiled and laughed so much my cheeks hurt! We were able to take in most of the events and exhibits held at Stampede Park. We would like to thank the Calgary Stampede Queens Alumni for extending this invitation to us and the Country Inn and Suites for being the host hotel to all the visiting royalty and their guests. The volunteers and co-ordinators work extremely hard to make this event a memorable experience for all who attend. Thanks to Penny Stavast and Alexis Forseille for being our chaperones, the Williams Lake Stampede and the City of Williams Lake for their support and sponsorship, and Jamie Tanis for organizing our week of expeditions. It has been an exciting start to our reign and we are looking forward to our rodeo travel schedule.

I hope you enjoyed the Stampede parade that took place June 28 here in Williams Lake.

Trevor Mack begins new film in August Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Cariboo filmmaker Trevor Mack will be shooting a new film in the Chilcotin this summer. Mack recently raised $1,335 through crowd funding to shoot his new short film called Clouds of Autumn. Mack says his original goal was to raise $5,000 through crowd funding for the film but he is happy to report that he has received a grant of $16,200 which he applied for in April and as a result will be cancelling the crowd funding campaign. “We will be ending the Indiegogo campaign with a videoupdate on either Monday or Tuesday,” Mack said Friday. “I’d like to thank everybody who has donated not only to my new film but to everybody who helped out on my past film The Blanketing as well.” He is planning two shooting dates for Clouds of Autumn in August and in September. He says he is still looking for local help to find suitable props, locations and actors. “Our locations are the Anaham (Tl’etinqox) reserve
56
as well as Stone (Yunesit’in) reserve,” Mack says. “Right now we’re currently looking for a working truck that was made between 1960 and 1975 for us to use for a couple of scenes.” Mack outlines the story line for Clouds of Autumn on his official facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CloudsofAutumn It is 1966; the last day of summer. William and his older sister Shayl have spent their idyllic, carefree childhood on a reserve in Northern British Columbia. Playing, fishing and exploring were their lives until Shayl is taken away to a residential school. Each summer afterwards she returns home more jaded and distant, affecting William first-hand and their relationship with each other. Through three summers William watches Shayl and their perfect summers decay, until his world is altered forever; she doesn’t return home. William, confused and angry, spends the summer disassociated with the joys of his past. Inevitably, as autumn begins he must step onto a bus that

will take him to the same residential school his sister experienced. Focusing on a young brother and sister through vignettes, the film will explore the impact of residential schools on the relationships young First Nations children have with themselves and one another, their heritage and nature itself. As the story deepens, we recede from the lush green forests and open fields to the stagnant shacks and empty gravel roads of the reserve, writes Mack in the outline. The tone of the film will shift with William’s perspective, and the camera itself will also experience a loss of innocence. “I’m predicting that this film will be far bigger than my last film The Blanketing as well,” Mack says. Meanwhile The Blanketing has been invited to be part of the Canadian Indigenous Shorts program with Spafax Canada. Mack says this program will make The Blanketing, along with several other Indigenous shorts available for viewing on Air Canada flights during September and October. Mack says the program reaches a po-
tential audience of 5.4 million viewers. In 2009, at only 17 years old, Mack started his own freelance video editing, motion graphics and videography group which was sponsored by the company ‘Steelseries’ and was sent to Dallas, Texas to shoot promotional videos for their products. After completing one year in the Capilano University’s Motion Picture Arts Program in 2012 he decided to produce, write, and direct The Blanketing that was accepted at the 2013 i m ag i n e N AT I V E Film + Media Arts Festival, the 2013 Toronto Independent Film Festival, the 2013 Red Nation Film Festival, the 2013 Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival and many others.

A Step Ahead
Please obey sprinkling regulations to help water conservation During these hot days of summer, the City of Williams Lake is reminding residents to obey lawn sprinkling regulations in order to preserve water, a precious resource for everyone. Watering of lawns within the City of Williams Lake is not permitted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Residents are reminded that watering days are in accordance with residential addresses (odd-numbered addresses waters on odd days, evennumbered addresses water on even days). In the case of mobile homes in mobile home parks and strata developments, watering days are determined by bay numbers or unit numbers. Properties that have automatic sprinkler systems can water grass between 12 and 4 a.m. The sprinkling regulations are in effect until September 30. The regulations are to ensure there is enough water supply during peak daytime hours, and non-compliance can carry a $100 fine. The community’s cooperation is appreciated.

women entrepreneurs in Northern British Columbia, says FWE general manager Lisa Niemetscheck. E-Series North will be held in Prince George, Wednesday, Oct. 15. This is an intense, condensed version of FWE’s signature ESeries program, often referred to as a “mini MBA,” Niemetscheck says. She says E-Series North comes from an overwhelming demand from women entrepreneurs in northern British Columbia and will
be split into two levels; Starter for budding female entrepreneurs and Pro for already established businesswomen. Speakers will include experienced business founders and past executives: Lisa Von Sturmer from Growing City; Judy Brooks, co-founder of Blo Blow Dry Bar; Jay Carvalho of Indochino Apparel Inc., and Bev Brisco past-president Hiway Refrigeration, along with representatives of Small Business BC. “FWE is excited
Tom Fletcher Black Press Sawmills have improved their control of combustible dust, but non-compliant wood product manufacturers are still being bound by stepped-up inspections since two fatal explosions in northern B.C. in 2012. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond promised to implement all recommendations of a new report recommending continued inspec-
tions and penalties for mills, and a separate investigative unit for WorkSafeBC that will seek prosecutions for unsafe conditions. Bond released the report Tuesday, showing sawmill compliance with dust control standards has gone from 58 per cent to 84 per cent in the latest round of inspections. Inspections of 15 pellet mills, pressboard and oriented strand board manufacturers showed they are still

The B.C. industry has hired five independent advisors to help mills comply with WorkSafeBC health and safety rules, and the Council of Forest Industries has agreed to make membership in the outside audit program a condition of membership in the industry group. Two workers died and 20 others were injured when an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill in Burns Lake on Jan. 20, 2012.

investigation may not be admissible in court. Prosecutors also concluded that mill operators would likely be acquitted using a “due diligence” defence. Bond said WorkSafeBC investigators will be reorganized into two teams as a result of the sawmill findings. “It means the moment they sense that an investigation may move from looking for the cause of an incident to the potential for prosecution, that the initial team would stop their work,” Bond said. “A completely separate unit would begin the work again with an eye to a successful prosecution.”

Military ambulance has link to owner’s past Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two years ago Paul Loerke purchased a Canadian built 1952 Dodge M43 Ambulance and discovered it was once stationed at the Puntzi Mountain Radar Station west of Williams Lake. “The neat thing about that is my dad was stationed at Puntzi in 1963-64,” the 49-year-old Prince George resident said. “He was a radar technician for the Royal Canadian Air Force.” Loerke first learned about the M43 in 1985 after he met a couple from Penny, B.C. who owned it. One of the things that fascinated him was the fact it was marked US AIR FORCE, but also had Canadian markings. He had never seen both types of markings on one vehicle. It left him perplexed for many years. Almost three decades later he located the Penny couple, now living in Vancouver, and bought it. One day after the purchase, he was scraping away some paint on the dash heater duct work when he found the “Holy Grail” of markings. “With civilian vehicles you can do wonders with the vehicle identification number to determine the history of a vehicle, who owned it and whether it has been in a collision,” he said. “The military, however, has its own licence plates and Canadian Forces registration numbers for the older 50, 60, 70s vehicles.” Markings he found indicated the ambulance was winterized in September 1961 to a 36 1-7 Type A for the 917th Air Command Warning Squadron, the U.S. Air Force squadron first posted at Puntzi from 1952 to l962. After that the station was occupied by the RCAF’s 55 Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron from 1962
to 1966 until it closed down, he explained. “Dad said on some occasions they used the ambulance to travel from the base to town and back if the weather was bad and the RCAF aircraft (otter) couldn’t fly,” Loerke is keen to trace the history of the ambulance and recently contacted Stanley W. Little who wrote a letter to the editor to the Williams Lake Tribune in 2011, recalling his memories of being stationed at Puntzi Mountain Radar Station with the U.S. Air Force in 1952. In June, Loerke called Little on the phone and the two men have since exchanged photos and information. Little has posted some of his memories on the Internet. One of the stories he recalled was when they used the ambulance to travel to Williams Lake with $10,000 cash to change into Canadian currency. They stopped and asked the RCMP if they could store the cash overnight in the detachment safe but were told the Famous Cafe had a better safe. “It worked out just fine and when the bank opened in the morning we were handed our briefcase after enjoying a great breakfast,” Little wrote. Loerke visited the old site at Puntzi Mountain last summer to match old photos to new photos in an effort to keep some of the history alive, he said. “I have visited some of the old radar stations where we lived and some are all but gone.” Through his research, he has learned a total of 409 M43s were built between 1952 and 1955, but cannot find anything about his ambulance’s history between the time the radar station closed in 1966 and 1977 when the Penny owners purchased it. The Penny couple told him they bought it from someone who

The Puntzi Mountain Radar Station towers in 1963/64 taken by Al Loerke when he was stationed there as a radar technician for the RCAF (top right). had purchased it from surplus Crown assets. Growing up in isolated radar stations across Canada meant Loerke didn’t see that many military vehicles. Then when he turned 35 he developed a passion for them and decided he wanted to own an Air Force vehicle. As he rebuilds the ambulance, hoping to restore it to its “former glory,” he looks forward to the day he can display and drive it. “Owning something dad rode in while he was in the RCAF is remarkable,” he said.

Comeback kids rally to win title Sean Glanville Staff Writer The U-14 Pee Wee Rep Fastball team went from zeroes to heroes at the Provincial A Fastball Championships at Royal Kwantlen Park in Surrey earlier this July. After dropping their first four round-robin games, Williams Lake got hot when it mattered and won their final two playoff games to win the championship. It was an incredible turn around for Williams Lake as the same 100 Mile House team that humiliated them 19-4 in the round-robin they would end up defeating 15-14 in the gold medal game. “We were not even supposed to win a game and everyone was calling us The Bad News Bears,” laughed coach Brad Alexander. “To end up winning was incredible.” What made the result even more impressive was that the team was only formed a couple weeks prior to the competition. “We didn’t form a team until the second weekend of June and we didn’t have a chucker at the time so we picked up Mason Richey from Terrace,” said Alexander. By picking up an out-oftown player it forced the team to have to move up a division. “Our pitching was solid with Mason (Richey) and we were able to get Matt Samson from town and he pitched strikes all weekend and did great.” Both Richey and Samson split pitching duties during the round-robin portion which included losses to Fleetwood, North Surrey, Richmond and 100 Mile House. Samson would take the pitching reigns for the playoff portion of the tourney beginning with their semi-final game against Sooke. Williams Lake finally got things going with the bat and were beating them 15-5 after five innings so the mercy rule came into effect.

final game included Jarryd Brucks, Dylan McNeil, Mason Richie, Jayden Morey and Alexander. Richey had a big game at the plate with two homers a triple and a single and seven runs batted in. 100 Mile House eventually would come back to close the
gap but Williams Lake hung on for a 15-14 win. Alexander noted how the boys overcame a lot of injuries and adversity. “Our kids were beat up, our pitcher Matt (Samson) hurt his shoulder in the third inning of the final so Mason (Alexander) went in for two innings then Matt came back in and toughed it out until the end of the game and we got the win,” said Alexander. “They were all like warriors on the field.” The team’s most valuable players on the weekend included Alexander, McNeil, Mason and Samson. Williams Lake plans to return to defend their championship next year and they hope to pick up two players from Prince George. In the skills competition Brucks won the longest throw with a 156-foot toss and Mason won the longest hit at 225 feet and Noel was second in the fastest running.

Pinette makes splash at B.C. Games Sean Glanville Tribune Staff Writer
Three Williams Lake athletes competed in the B.C. Summer Games last week in Nanaimo. Local waterskier Conley Pinette added to his impressive hardware haul this year bringing home three medals. Pinette won gold in Boys 14-17 years Trick and Jump categories and took silver in the Slalom event. “I was happy with the way I skied and the entire event was a great experience,” said Pinette. His three medals on the water accounted for one-sixth of Zone 8 Cariboo
North East’s entire medal haul of 18. The Games are held every second year and Pinette competed back in 2010 and took the 2012 event off. The 14-year-old has a busy summer ahead of him with three more competitions after already competing at events in Colombia and Blaine, Washington earlier this season. “I’ve got provincials next weekend in Abbotsford followed by the Western Canadians in Edmonton and then Nationals in Ontario,” said Pinette. Pinette, who will enter Grade 10 next year at Williams Lake Secondary is focussed on con-
tinually improving his skills and hopes to one day waterski professionally. Jared Yuill was the lone Williams Lake player on the Zone 8 Box Lacrosse team which dropped all three of their games. Unfortunately, they were placed in a pool with two extremely tough teams. They were pummelled 14-2 in their opening game Friday by eventual gold medallists Zone 4 Fraser River - Delta. In game two Saturday Zone 8 was blitzed 15-3 by would be bronze medallists Zone 6 Vancouver Island. They finished the tournament strong with a close 6-5 loss to Zone 5 Vancouver
- Squamish in their final game Saturday afternoon. Williams Lake’s Dana Rook and partner Lyndsey Bodgener of Prince George just missed a spot on the podium placing fourth in the girls 420 sailing event. Paige Outhouse was scheduled to play soccer but Zone 8 were forced to withdraw from the games. Zone 8 placed seven out of eight zones in the overall standings with 18 medals total. Zone 3 Fraser Valley were tops in the standings winning 207 medals, followed by Zone 6 Vancouver Island with 183 and Zone 5 Vancouver Squamish with 125.

Horsefly hosts ATV Poker Run Sunday The Horsefly Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual ATV run on July 27 starting at 10 a.m. This event is the fire department’s major fundraiser of the year. The ATV run passes through some of the most scenic areas in the country. The starting point is at the 145 board on the 100 Road (Black Creek road). The trail runs 80 kilometres along Walker Mountain and Big Slide Mountain. There will be signs
posted starting at the Horsefly Bridge past Clarke’s Store. This is a poker format, not a race, so come out and enjoy the mountain scenery, tour the Upper Horsefly Falls, and meet some new friends. The Horsefly volunteer Fire Department extends an invitation to all ATVers in the Cariboo to join them in a fantastic afternoon of enjoying nature at its finest. After the run there will be a barbecue at the end of the trail.
All of the funds raised will go toward the annual operating expenses of the fire department. Registration forms may be picked up at Clarke’s General Store or Horsefly Realty Ltd. in Horsefly. This event is made possible with sponsorship from various local businesses including Spectra Power Sports, Williams Lake Honda, Gordo’s, Rosk Power Equipment, C & Ski Small Engine repairs, Don Morris Hand Tied Flies, and the Harry family.

The much-maligned fleet car Chevrolet Impala is the “I don’t get no respect!” sedan of the auto world, if I may quote the late Rodney Dangerfield.
The Impala I rented in Hawaii early this year was confirmation of the beating, while on the job, that a car like this has to endure. Yet, you have to respect the sturdiness and competence that a car like this must possess.
Body scars left by a multitude of indifferent drivers were visible evidence of the abuse. Although basic on the inside, the Impala turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and the biggest surprise of all was its performance. Impala offers good power, a quiet passenger cabin and a comfortable ride, which helped make the overall driving experience a pleasant one.
Chevrolet first introduced an Impala way back in 1958 and at one time, it was the best-selling car in America. The last time I had driven an Impala was in 2009. Chevrolet had given it a new flex-fuel E85 engine upgrade, so that it can accept up to 85 per cent ethanol content in its fuel.
While an Impala is unlikely to be on your “dream drive” list, if you’re simply looking for an inexpensive, reliable and roomy, near-new sedan, then add it to your used car drive list. In 2010, even the base LS trim came with air conditioning, power mirrors, walnut burl (imita-

tion) interior accent trim, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, power windows and power locks with keyless entry and automatic headlamps.
Our Hawaii rental was an LT trim which added 16-inch alloy wheels, a leatherwrapped wheel with audio controls, CD/ MP3 stereo and a remote starter. The top-line LTZ adds 18inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, heated mirrors, deck lid spoiler, auto-dimming rearview mirror, eightway power driver’s seat, 60/40 splitfolding rear seat, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, sport suspension, electronic stability control, and a theft deterrent system.
The 3.5-litre V6 (standard on LS and LT) engine can generate 214 horsepower. Its companion fourspeed automatic is smooth, competent and reliable, yet it lags behind five and six-speed units offered by competitors. Fuel consumption is still decent at 11.3/7.0 L/100 km (city/highway). The 3.9-litre (LTZ) engine can generate 240 horsepower.
This generation Impala may be the last sedan to offer sixpassenger seating. A drawback to having a bench style front seat is that it only
