Angie Mindus Staff Writer Local residents, politicians and throngs of media were in Likely Thursday to hear first-hand the preliminary results of water testing after the Mount Polley tailings pond dam breach Monday. According to Interior Health, initial water samples taken on Aug. 4, meet both provincial and Canadian drinking water guidelines. “Everything we see is very reassuring,” said the medical health officer for Interior Health.
The water samples were described as being taken from the north shore east of Cedar Creek, north shore west of four cabins and at the Likely townsite on Monday, the day more than 10 million cubic metres of tailings pond water entered Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake following a dam breach. Interior Health said additional sampling is required before a final determination can be made on the current water use restrictions. As a result the Do Not Consume water restrictions related to the tailings pond breach remain in place.
This affects water drawn from Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek, Quesnel Lake, and the Quesnel River system to the Fraser River. The public should also continue to refrain from using the waterways for recreational purposes. This includes swimming and fishing. In addition, given the presence of debris on these waters, seen Thursday floating as far away as the Junction area of Quesnel Lake, recreational users are advised to avoid these areas until all clean-up activities are complete. Sample collection is ongoing

and Interior Health is monitoring regularly to ensure the health safety of residents in the affected areas, and determine when restrictions can be lifted. “There is a really good chance we’re going to get lucky here,” Mines Minister Bill Bennett said following the announcement of the initial test results, noting the Mount Polley Mine is not acid generating. Premier Christy Clark promised to work with mine workers, unions and tourism operators to mitigate the economic impact caused by the disaster.

Mine president and mining minister field questions Sean Glanville Staff Writer Hundreds of devastated Likely residents crammed into the community hall Tuesday afternoon looking for answers into Monday’s devastating tailings pond breach at the Mount Polley mine. The breach of the four-kilometre long pond caused an outflow of 10 million cubic metres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of suspended solids into Polley Lake which then outflowed into Hazeltine Creek. Hazeltine Creek, which residents say you could jump over, is now a 50-metre wide pool of slurry and muck that has cut its own canyon winding its way to Quesnel Lake. Water warnings are currently in effect for Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek, Cariboo Creek and the Quesnel River up to its intersection with the Fraser River. The outflow also re-

Since then local tugboat operator Gerry Mitzel and Wally Veitch secured 80 per cent of the debris with a log boom, much to the relief of Likely residents who were concerned the logs could wipe out the Likely bridge. Officials including Mines Minister Bill Bennett and Imperial Metals President Brian Kynoch spent more
than two hours fielding questions from concerned citizens at the meeting. Bennett gave his deepest condolences and pledges that the province will do all in its power to help. “I wish I didn’t have to be here, I’m personally really sorry about what’s happened here.

During allergy season, it’s good to remember that pollen is very sticky. It adheres to eyelashes and hair on our bodies. Taking a shower at night is a good way to wash away the pollen. The hairs in our noses also have pollen stuck to them so rinsing your nasal passages is also a good idea. Keeping a close watch on your sodium intake? Anything that fizzes can have high sodium levels. If you want to be sure, read the nutritional labels. The pure liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes is a hazard to children. Since e-cigarettes began being marketed in the U.S. a couple of years ago, poison control centres have seen more poisonings of young children who have ingested the contents of e-cigarettes. Health Canada hasn’t legalized this product in Canada and its slowness to make a decision is well-founded and needs more assurance of safety. Pharmacists and doctors are aware that many people don’t take their prescribed medication as ordered. This can be detrimental to people’s health. A study done in England recently looked at people taking blood pressure (BP) medication found that 25% were not taking their blood pressure meds as prescribed. Since we usually can’t “feel” high blood pressure, damage is being done when meds are missed. Take your medications as your doctor orders ... especially BP medications.

it. We have to continue to test water regularly before we know,” Bennett said. “I’m hoping that because this mine is not an acid generating mine that maybe we won’t see toxic contamination. Nobody knows what the impact is of this. We will know fairly soon and the people of Likely will be the first to know.” Effective Thursday the Ministry of Environment said salmon fishing is banned from the Cariboo River from the confluence of the Quesnel River to the
confluence of Seller Creek; and the Quesnel River downstream of Poquette Creek. With the peak migration of sockeye salmon in the Quesnel waterways system (Quesnel, Horsefly and Mitchell Rivers) expected in about two weeks the timing of the spill couldn’t have been worse. In what was supposed to be a rebound year for B.C. sockeye salmon with forecasts predicting up to three million in the Quesnel waterways, is now in doubt.

The highly anticipated results were expected to start coming in yesterday.

ing asked was, why after so many warnings about excess tailings, was this problem not fixed? USW Local 1-425 president Bob McNair, who represents the mine employees, said the ministry has known about the tailings pond risks for years and now it’s too late. “I tried for two and
a half months to get a hold of someone from ministry of mines; when I finally did get a response the individual told me the government of the day has cut our department so bad that we’re hardly getting in to do any inspections,” McNair said. See QUESTIONS Page A4

Sean Glanville Staff Writer Local First Nations bands are in an uproar over the recent tailings pond breach at Mount Polley and its ensuing environmental devastation. The mine which sits on shared traditional Shuswap territory prompted a contingent from local Shuswap bands to attend the emergency meeting held at Likely’s community hall Tuesday afternoon. “I was very shocked when I saw what happened and I can’t even imagine what the people
of this community must be feeling. The impacts of this mine breach is astronomical,” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said. Louie was very disappointed that nobody from Imperial Metals contacted the band after the disaster. This coming on the heels of WLIB getting its first revenue sharing cheque from Mount Polley for a mere $4,500. “I was extremely frustrated yesterday, both Soda Creek and Williams Lake Indian Bands have impact benefit agreements with Impe-
rial Metals and not one individual from the mine contacted either one of us,” Louie said. “That says a lot about the value of our agreement — we got totally left out.” Xat’sull First Nation (Soda Creek) Chief Bev Sellars said no amount of revenue the mine generates can ever repair the damage that’s been done. “The BC government are blinded by the dollars the mining companies claim they will make, and ignore terrible risks they are taking with our lives, livelihoods, and environments,” said Sellars.
First Nations across the province have been lobbying for decades to enforce stronger restrictions on mining. Xat’sull councillor Tony Mack requested to Mining Minister Bill Bennett and Imperial Metals President Brian Kynoch at Tuesday’s information meeting in Likely that First Nations people need to have their own technical people on the ground so that when they get reports they know they’re accurate. The request drew a round of applause from many in attendance including most non-First
Nations. “We as First Nations want to put our own technical people on the ground with your technical people, we want our own environmental monitors on the ground with your environmental monitors,” Mack said. “We want to be doing the same tests that you’re doing and get the same results that your getting so that when we get a report we know the report is going to be accurate and we’re not going to be getting falsified reports.” See FEARS Page A5
Questions raised about mine safety Continued From Page A3 Former mine foreman Gerald MacBurney, also reported on mine infractions he had witnessed. “The last inspection was in May when the water was too high and they should’ve stopped it then,” MacBurney said. Along with the excess tailings, MacBurney said the ministry also ignored a previous recommendation that an inspection on the structural integrity of the tailings pond be conducted back in 2011. Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said the Soda Creek and Williams Lake Indian Bands commissioned environmental consultants in 2011 to report on the tailings pond and

up the mining laws so that maybe these companies only make a few million instead of a billion,” Xatsull First Nations Chief Bev Sellars said. “They’ll still supply jobs but they will be safe.” Local residents at the meeting also criticized the mine for not having any contingency plan in
case of a tailings pond failure. “Basically you guys were taking a gamble and we were the poker chips,” said an angry Likely resident. “I don’t wanna live here anymore,” said another visibly distraught man. A complete fog of uncertainty currently

surrounds Mt. Polley employees at the moment regarding their job status. “I’ve been inundated with employees coming into the union office asking questions like ‘I never got a lay off notice, do we look for another job? What do we do?,” McNair said. Kynoch said that within a few days the company will come up with a plan of action for the cleanup. He said the job will be enormous and require a huge number of workers including current mine employees. “All I’m asking for is a bit of time to know where we’re going. I promise to do my damnedest to get back operating and get them back to work,” Kynoch said.

Fears mine spill will impact Fraser fishery

Continued From Page A4 TNG tribal chair Chief Joe Alphonse has no doubt the contamination of the Quesnel waterways will be felt all the way down to the mouth of the Fraser when it comes to the wild salmon runs which First Nations throughout the Interior and coastal B.C. rely on for food and commercial fishing as well cultural and ceremonial purposes. “Many of our people will not be salmon fishing and how can you put a price on that?” said Alphonse. “The mine failed and they should be found guilty - the impacts are far greater than one little area and it will have an impact all the way down to the Fraser.” Effective Thursday the Ministry of Environment said salmon fishing is banned from the Cariboo River from the confluence of the Quesnel River to the confluence of Seller Creek; and the Quesnel River downstream of Poquette Creek.

In what was supposed to be a rebound year for B.C. sockeye salmon with forecasts predicting up to three million in the Quesnel waterways, is now in doubt. Alphonse and his people have been embroiled in a bitter dispute with Taseko Mines over the past several years over Prosperity Mine and he wonders if maybe a disaster like this will be enough to validate why the First Nations have been fighting so vehemently against the mine. “I’ve always been fearing a catastrophe like this would happen. This is devastating for the residents of Likely who depend on tourism and those workers at the mine whose careers and lives are now put on hold —

The impacts of the spill have been felt across the province as Sto:lo First Nation Grand Chief Doug Kelly shares Alphonse’s concern that the Mount Polley wastewater released into the Fraser river system will impact the salmon run down into their territory (Chilliwack area).

Regulations need to be tighter For those of you who don’t know Quesnel Lake, let me acquaint you. Prior to Monday, before the Mount Polley tailings pond breach, Quesnel Lake and its many rivers and tributaries was an oasis for those looking to get away into a pristine wilderness setting –– myself included. I personally have been escaping to the area for years and have always been taken by its beauty and abundance. Whether camping at Quesnel Forks, Cedar Point Park near Likely, any of the many BC Forest Service Sites on the lake, or simply a remote stretch of beach up the North Arm, Quesnel Lake has had much to offer. Residents and even those just out for a weekend could and would simply carry a cup and drink fresh, clean water right out of the lake as they try to catch a prized, genetically-unique strain of rainbow trout. But since Monday, in what many are calling the worst mining disaster in B.C. history, it’s been impossible to lose that sick, sinking feeling in my stomach. At the forefront of concern of course are the residents of Likely and Quesnel Lake and beyond
who will be directly unknown impacted by the spill, and the longterm impacts on water quality and the Quesnel Lake fishery including that of the sockeye salmon entering the system. After days of waiting with little information Likely residents were given some hopeful news from Interior Health yesterday. Darshan Lindsay, Interior Health communications officer, issued a release yesterday stating preliminary tests by the Ministry of Environment meet drinking water standards, however, more testing needs to be done before the blanket water ban will be removed. We can all agree, however, that the true impacts of the tailings pond breach won’t be known for months, years and decades. One can only hope that our government will learn from this disaster and step up its regulation and monitoring of the mining industry. There is no excuse to explain how things like this could happen in this day and age. The government needs to get its head out of the sand when it comes to properly regulating industry for the good of everyone involved, including industry itself. - Angie Mindus

Mount Polley Mine disaster hurts everyone involved The Mount Polley Mine disaster will have an effect on the company, Imperial Metals, for some time. The tailings pond debacle is already having its effect on some businesses in the Likely/ Quesnel Lake area and it won’t be long before that fiscal downfall will reach Williams Lake and the rest of the Cariboo. The men and women who work at Mount Polley spend their paychecks in this town and for those who become unemployed until the mine can once again begin operation, they won’t be spending as much money, because employment

insurance isn’t that lucrative. The environmental side of this whole equation will also be very costly and I know the government has given the mine a
time line to come up with some answers regarding the failed tailings pond and what they will be doing for the cleanup. I know Mount Polley is a medium-sized mining company and is a good corporation. They are now looking at opening another mine, Red Chris in B.C.’s north, however, you can bet now there will be a closer look at the tailings pond for that mine, and I suspect all tailings ponds in B.C. will come under closer scrutiny in the future. Congratulations to Save-OnFoods in Williams Lake and the Canadian Red Cross for their
contribution of 18,000 500 milliliter bottles of water along with 1,440 bottles of four-litre size to the good folks in Likely and area who did not have drinking water. It was interesting reading the comments online in various media regarding the Mount Polley meltdown. Somebody wrote that mines are ticking time bombs, and whole generations of salmon would be lost. There were other comments about those corporate cheer leaders in Prime Minister Stephen Harper and B.C. Premier Christy Clark.
“Those two, who are wrecking the environment and whatever you do, don’t vote for them or their party in the next election.” Hmmm, I wonder which party those dudes are supporting? Maybe it was the same party that didn’t want Prosperity Mine. I’m not sure how this will play out in the end, however, I do hope for the best for the mine, for the environment, for the employees, and for our economy.

Info needed for informed decision on AAC options The public has been given the opportunity to comment on the future direction of harvesting levels “annual allowable cut” (AAC)” within the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area (TSA) resulting from the impact of the mountain pine beetle (MPB). The information has been provided in two documents: “Williams Lake TSA data package” released in April 2013 and a more recent document “Williams Lake TSA Public Discussion Paper of January 2014.” Both documents are available on the governments website with the highlights covered in this article as follows. “On April 18, 2007, following an urgent timber supply review due to the MPB infestation, the chief forester set the AAC for the Williams Lake TSA at 5,799,000 cubic metres. In his rationale, the chief forester stated that his determination was predicated on the entire AAC being harvested from stands with at least 70 per cent pine located west of the Fraser River.” Table 2 provides the AAC history leading up to this decision. Prior to 1985 the AAC for the main TSA was 2.5 million cubic metres. The beetle problem resulted in the AAC increasing to approximately four million from 1985 to 2003. No data was provided for the years 2004 to 2007. Data from the harvest billing system for the years 2003 to 2012 indicat-
Forest Ink Jim Hilton
ed that milling and market limitations held the actual harvested AAC to 3.31 million cubic metres per year. The base case suggests that a harvest of 3.4 million per year can be maintained for 10 years if licensees focus on lodge pole pine stands on the west side of the TSA. The base case also indicates that of the pine volume harvested for the next 10 years, approximately 62 per cent is live pine. When all mountain pine beetle stands have either been salvaged or are beyond the 10 year shelf life, the mid term level is sustainable at 1,420,500 cubic metres per year. Future articles will deal with the scenarios of ways to increase the existing harvest level with shelf life options and alternate inventory sources and mill changes, etc. In the meantime I think it would be easier for the public to make more informed comments if we had data on what per cent of the wood harvested was from dead pine west of the Fraser. The figures on Appendix B show what is proposed for the next 10 years but not what has taken place. There is mention of bioener-
gy being of possible use in the future but there doesn’t appear to be any discussion of what harvesting options are being considered which will encourage the use of alternate saw logs. I.e. how to set aside the residual saw log component to increase the shelf life of this component and what impact it could have on the retention of an increased AAC for other than saw logs. The most difficult decision for the chief forester is when and by how much the AAC should be reduced. I am proposing the following for consideration. The 5.77 million accelerated AAC should be reduced immediately. It was obviously over estimated since the actual harvest has only averaged 3.1 million since the increase was announced. This inflated number only confuses the issue since it appears that the milling capacity was nowhere near this anticipated target. Consider a stepping down of the AAC over a five to 10 year period rather than the dramatic reduction from 3.4 to 1.42 million cubic metres. The amount of the decrease would be based on the ratio of green to dead wood harvested and taken to the mill. Once the level of green wood harvested approaches the long-term harvest of 2.5 million, the greater will be the impact on the amount of
wood needed for the mid term period. I.e. one of the main reasons for the shifting of the harvest to the MPB in the west was to reserve the green wood for the anticipated mid term shortfall. Another factor that should be considered is the area that has been and will be harvested. I presume the relative area harvested due to the accelerated cut is significantly higher than the original AAC as the pine shelf life decreases and lower productivity stands are targeted. The increased area is from roads and harvested areas needed to maintain the increased AAC. We need to have a discussion on the tipping point where the
recovery of mpb sawlogs is not worth the environmental impact of the harvest activities. Some people I have talked to feel we have already passed that point. The papers also discuss issues that can impact the timing and amount of decreased AAC which is inevitable because of the huge loss of pine volume. In future articles I will look at some of the pros and cons of the timing and amount of AAC adjustments.

A real wet summer on the ranch in Horsefly Bruce MacLeod
Special to The Tribune/Advisor In 1956 we had a real wet summer at the Calloway Ranch (Walters Ranch today) in Horsefly where I was working as a youth. Manager Gordon Thomson decided to make silage so as to salvage at least some hay. He purchased more hay from Mr. Bourelle who lived a few miles away. I was commissioned to go and get a wagonload of hay on a Saturday during the school year. I used a Fordson Major tractor to pull the wagon. I had never been to Bourelle’s by road. I had walked to their place using the trail along the river, and over the hill, but going by the road was a new experience. I drove from the ranch, down the road, across the bridge, right at Black Creek, and first turn on the right, past Gruhs Road or just before, I can’t recall. I was probably about fourteen years of age. The Fordson Major as do all
tractors has a “low” and a “high” range dual transmission. I had her in high range for the highway. I found my way without any mishap and when I came within sight of Bourelle’s home, it was from a vantage height of about two hundred feet or so. The narrow road curled to the left, and along a steep hillside, and ended after about a quarter mile on level ground, with a straight shot to the river. Mr. Bourelle’s house is directly in line with the road when it reaches the bottom of the hill, and built fairly close to the Horsefly River. Their well was directly below the kitchen, with the pump right on the kitchen sink. There was a gate and a fenced pasture to the right where I had to turn into, and I could see the haystack I was going to. I could see a dead black bear about a hundred-yards into the field along the riverbank. There was another gate into Mr. Bourelle’s yard about a hundred feet from the bottom of the hill.
Mr. Bourelle happened to be casually leaning against the gatepost. I was barely around the first corner on the way down the hill, when I realized I was traveling way too fast. I attempted to slow down, but standing on the brake had absolutely no effect because I was simply not heavy enough. I didn’t know how to shift gears while in motion. Previously I had always shifted gears while stopped, or almost stopped. I stepped on the clutch and tried to shift down to second gear. Once I had the tractor in neutral, I couldn’t get the darn thing in any gear, much less second. The tractor picked up speed at an alarming rate! I stood with my right foot on the brake, while bracing myself with my left leg. I clung to the steering wheel to stay upright as we bounced faster and faster, careening downhill. I noticed old Phil slip unobtrusively inside his yard, and lock his gate, as I careened madly in his di-
rection. I had visions of driving straight through the gate and then their house into the Horsefly River. I approached the turn to the hay field on as wide an arc as I possibly could. It took all my strength to turn the steering wheel. Then I was through the gate into the field! The right rear wheel left the ground as the wagon became airborne. I watched, as seemingly in slow motion, the side of the wagon crashed into the gatepost, and bounced back, whipping the tractor into a straight line. The right rear wheel slammed back down and the tractor rocked back and forth a couple of times, and then I was coasting to a stop half way to the dead bear in the field. Other than a small indentation on the wagon, and a slight cant to the left of Mr. Bourelle’s gate post, there was no damage, so I loaded the hay and delivered it to Mr. Thomson with no other misadventures.
As far as I know, the gatepost is still leaning off kilter, and I don’t recall paying any penalty for my indiscretion. There were many more adventures in my five years working on and around ranches. Looking back, I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience ranch life when I was so young. This kind of opportunity is gone forever to today’s youth, and probably for good reason I suppose, but I feel it gave me a perspective regarding work ethics and an ability to experience the satisfaction of accomplishment a good days work brings. On many occasions I rode my horse to the hill overlooking the hayfield and gazed with pride at a job well done, with not a blade of hay missed, all the windrows lined up perfectly. I left Horsefly in 1958, and since that time never drove a team or rode a horse. I have always been a cowboy at heart.

Now What? I write this on day two of the disaster resulting from the collapse of the tailing pond dam at Mt. Polley. Work is underway to deal with some of the immediate effects of this breach, with people putting in long hours in response efforts. And we laud these dedicated people and pray for their safety. Pictures of the event can be seen on newscasts, on the internet, and in the papers. Facebook pages are also dedicated to the discussion of the event, and as I read some of these it is clear that relationships and community unity are being torn apart by some of these discussions. It is quite understandable. People have strong opinions on what should have been done to prevent this, on what should be done to mitigate the damage, on compensation for those directly impacted, on who to blame and on what may happen in the future. Fear is one of the main reasons for some of the anger, distrust, finger-pointing, and strong language seen in the exchanges as people discuss this event. Fear of the future – what about the long term environmental impact, what about the jobs and the loss of business if the mine closes for
a period of time? There are those
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO directly employed who will be without income but there are also many whose income is dependent on supplying the mine or services to those employed by the mine. For the community of Likely, what does the future hold? It would be great to be able to say with certainty that “this is what will happen”. Whether good news or bad, people would at least be able to confront the issues headon rather than be left to guess or operate in fear and uncertainty. Knowing is better than guessing. But I don’t know the future. I
do know, however, that many are working to deal with the situation and to do what they can to reduce the damage and deal with the impacts. Organizations are also gearing up to be supportive to people and to help them in any way possible and necessary. I also know that it is a time for each of us to make special efforts to work together and to be supportive of each other. Respect the opinions of others but support them anyway. We need to be alert to the needs and struggles our friends and neighbours are dealing with. We need to be ready to step up to the plate and do what we can to help them work through this situation, for however long it takes. For me, the only real way to begin dealing with fear is to give it over to my Lord Jesus Christ. I do this by expressing my fears and concerns to him in prayer and asking him to deal with my circumstances and to provide for me what is needed. And then trusting him to do what he said he would do – to take my burden and carry it with me. If you need help and encouragement, I urge you to approach the churches in the area. Burdens shared are easier to carry.

Fire destroys heritage building at Anaham Sean Glanville Staff Writer A 26-year-old Anaham man has been arrested after a piece of history went up in flames shortly after midnight Sunday. The convent building which housed the Catholic Missionary Sisters of Christ the King from the Chilcotin First Nations community of Anaham is now ashes. Two Alexis Creek RCMP officers responded to the report of a break and enter in progress which eventually led to an arrest. “The suspect was caught red-handed. We were fortunate that the RCMP were on the reserve at the time and able to respond immediately,” said Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse. “As they (RCMP) ap-

He then attempted to assault one of the officers.” The officers were able to subdue the suspect without injuries to any of the parties involved. The accused is well known to police and was released on special conditions and scheduled to appear in court in Williams Lake Wednesday.
During the arrest, it was learned the residence was on fire. Several residents were alerted as well as the fire department who attended the blaze but were unable to suppress the fire. Volunteers were successful in containing the fire from spreading to nearby residences. The structure dates back to 1944 when Alphonse’s grandfather, the late Chief Casimir Bob, offered the nuns

structure into a safe house for youth. “Our long-term plan for the building was to turn it into a safe house to protect our young people. It’s unfortunate that these plans are now ruined. We are disappointed in the young fellow who did this and it was very irresponsible,” said Alphonse. Alphonse and many others were sad to see a building of such historic value destroyed. It was the last remaining relics of the sisters who spent seven decades on the reserve working as teachers, nurses and in pastoral care. “I think everyone in the community, all of the clans, all of the family groups, have countless stories that they could share. There’d be endless stories about all the good work and all the good-hearted work the nuns have done over the years.”

Last fall a community luncheon was held on Oct. 27 to say goodbye to the last remaining nuns living in the convent on the reserve. An aging order caused the nuns to move to the mother house for retired missionaries in Laval, Que. The building was currently being used to store supplies from the Anaham school as a new school is under construction. “We had moved all the desks and other items into the convent and were using it for temporary storage,” said Alphonse.

Mine sought second water release increase Tom Fletcher Black Press Mount Polley Mine management was awaiting a second permit amendment from the B.C. government to increase water released from its tailings facilities when the tailings pond dam breached in the early hours of Aug. 4. Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an effluent permit since 1997, and has operated since startup with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow discharge of up to 1.4 million cubic metres of water a year to discharge dam seepage effluent into Hazeltine Creek. That permit was approved in 2012 after an independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to control them.

Quesnel Lake is part of a sockeye spawning system that connects with the Fraser River. With the mine and its tailings facilities expanding and an exhausted pit being converted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to discharge up to three million cubic metres of treated water to Polley Lake. “That application was received by the ministry this summer and is being considered,” the Ministry of Environment said in a statement Wednesday.
Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said Mount Polley mine does not have acidproducing rock, which reacts with contaminants such as arsenic and mercury and allows them to mix with water. Bennett was on site this week with mine inspectors and environment ministry staff. “We will find out if the company was not in compliance,” Bennett said Wednesday. “If they were hiding anything, if they made
mistakes in building the dam higher, we will find out and hold them to account.” Brian Kynoch, president of parent company Imperial Metals, was asked about the latest permit amendment at a public meeting in Likely Tuesday, where residents were shocked at the devastation and worried about the water quality in their lakes and rivers. “I think we’re about to get the increase,” Kynoch said.
Kynoch said the breach did not occur at the highest point of the tailings dam, where water pressure was greatest, and the pond level was 2.5 metres below the top of the dam at the time. Ministry records show Mount Polley was warned about high pond levels May 24, with the level returning to authorized levels by June 30. In April the company was issued an advisory about bypass of authorized treatment works due to high water flows in the spring runoff period. Samples of tailings pond water taken Aug. 4 showed selenium concentration 2.8 times the drinking water guideline. Concentration of nitrates, cadmium, copper, iron and selenium have occasionally exceeded aquatic life guidelines in recent years. The permit required water volume not to exceed 35 per cent of the creek flow to dilute it.

Mine spill raises fears for Fraser salmon Jeff Nagel Black Press An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.”

An estimated 1.5 million sockeye bound for fouled Quesnel Lake. While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We
don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow
trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed to spawn in a few weeks.

Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St. James. Sterritt said he’s fielding calls from First Nations as far downstream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food fisheries. Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water standards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains widespread concern in aboriginal communities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said. Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial government approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.

Five Cariboo Archers — Fred Streleoff (left), Al Campsall, Ernie Schmid, Dan Mobbs and Jessica Mobbs — all reached the podium last weekend at the Canadian 3D Archery Championships, held in Lac La Biche, Alta.
Five archers reach podium at nationals Fourteen hours of driving was all worth it for a group of five Cariboo Archers last weekend, who competed at the Canadian 3D Archery Championships in Lac La Biche, Alta. Ernie Schmid, Jessica Mobbs, Dan Mobbs, Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall all stood proudly on the podium following the competition after three gruelling and scorching hot days of shooting. In the masters traditional class Schmid barely
missed gold to win the silver medal. Jessica shared Ernie’s fate in the women’s longbow division, donning a silver medal following the competition. Dan and Streleoff battled all weekend with Fred emerging with the gold medal — his fourth Canadian archery title — while Dan joined his daughter, Jessica, with the silver. Campsall, meanwhile, won his 12th Canadian championship in the mas-
ter’s open category. “Yearly a Grand Prix is held at the end featuring the top eight archers from each shooting peg/ distance,” Campsall said. “Different categories of archers shoot from different maximum distances. For instance, recurve and longbow archers shoot a max of 30 yards while compound men shoot from up to 50 yards.” The top eight 30-yard max shooters, with men and women shooting sepa-
rately, shoot in a sudden death shoot-off and the top eight 50-yard maximum shooters also shoot-off until there is only one winner left for each distance. Dan, Jessica, Streleoff and Campsall were all chosen to shoot off for their respective classes. All of them fared well, but Campsall defeated all of the compound men to win the Grand Prix. He said he was elated to beat all of the younger competitors, many of whom are his
fellow Team Canada teammates. “Members were cheering me on to victory with the somewhat dubious honour of calling me Grandpa,” Campsall joked. “Grandpa reference was as much to razz all the young men in the contest for being beaten by a 61 year old.” By Aug. 15 Dan, Jessica, Streleoff and Campsall will be informed as to whether they will be selected to Team Canada for the 2015 World Championships.
Former Bighorns take talents to lacrosse provincials Four lakecity lacrosse players and former Williams Lake Bighorns gave a good showing in Richmond last weekend at the BC Intermediate Lacross Provincial Championships. Benn Taylor, Riley Lawryk, Brandon Bunce and Jesse Wallace-Webb, who all
play for the Quesnel Wildfire in the Cariboo Central Intermediate League, finished first in their threeteam league after posting 15 wins and one loss, to earn the berth at the championships, held from Aug. 1-4 at the Minoru Arena. At provincials the Wild-
fire — in a pool with Coquitlam, Cowichan and New Westminster — finished fourth, falling 12-7 to New Westminster in the bronze-medal game. Prior to that the Wildfire lost its opener to Cowichan, 14-6, its second game to Coquitlam, 12-7, and its
third to New Westminster, 11-5. Bunce, who is the starting goaltender for the Wildfire, was spectacular throughout the tournament, especially against Coquitlam where he faced a 70-shot barrage to be named the team’s most valuable player. Un-
fortunately, an injury in the bronze-medal game hindered his ability to play. Taylor, meanwhile, was the game start versus Cowichan Valley. Additionally, both Bunce and Lawryk were named to the tournament all-star team.
The BC Barrel Racers Provincial Finals will be held Aug. 29-31 in WIlliams Lake at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds. In 2013 the event awarded approximately $101,000 in prize money. The youngest competitor was four, the oldest was 70 last year, making it an all-age affair. There are more than 300 competitors expected to take part this year.

Blue Fins host Smoke on the Water The Williams Lake Blue Fins’ annual Smoke on the Water open swim event featured 17 local swimmers. Hosted at Chimney Lake in July, swimmers swam either 750 metres, 1,500 metres or three kilometres. “The open water event was a great way for some triathletes to have a chance to race some swimmers and ex-swimmers and adults who were just interested in a challenge,” Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said. “The event was open to everyone. Not just Blue Fins swimmers.” In the 750-metre event the swimmers and results were: 12 and under girls: Kasha Vitoratos — first — 17:54 12 and under boys: Luca Calabrese — first — 26:58 Adult Categories Marilyn Haines —

“The event usually averages about 250 riders and their families and will be a major economic boost and bring a lot of money into the community,” said sponsorship director Karen Yarowski. “We hosted the event back in 2010 and the grounds were completely packed so we’re hoping for the same.” Last year’s finals in Kamloops featured over 300 entries with the youngest competitor at age four and the oldest at 75. Over $100,000 was handed out in prize money and awards. Williams Lake and area will be well represented at the event with dozens of local barrel racers participating. “We have about 60 competitors from the Williams Lake area and a few that are very successful on the BCRA

tremely popular in the lakecity as the Eagleview Equestrian Center hosts a barrel racing event every second weekend from February through November, only taking December and January off. The deadline for registration is Aug. 22 and until then organizers can only estimate what the final number of participants will be. The event will be a 4D Format which means the top 10 finishers at every half second or full second interval are awarded prizes. This format encourages both skill as well as plenty of luck as to who wins the prize money. An example of this format would be having four divisions with 1D at 16.00 seconds, 2D at 16.50, 3D at 17.00, and 4D 18.00 seconds. The top ten times closest to each of these intervals would win money. This gives some of the more casual recreational riders as much a chance to win money as the more seasoned riders. “A rider could place 11th in the 1D category and be sitting in the crying hole (no money) but a much slower rider could place 10th in the 4D category and be in the money,” explained Yarowski. Admission is free and the grand stand will be open to spectators with a variety of vendors on site. On Friday and Saturday, the racing starts at 9 a.m. with Open, Pee Wee, Junior and Senior
races. The Pee Wees will run twice on Saturday going a second time at the end of the day and not ride on Sunday. Organizers also encourage everyone to wear red on Saturday to help show support for a donkey refuge in B.C. On Sunday the racing kicks off at 7:30 a.m. featuring Open, Junior and Senior races as well as a second chance showdown for the top 20 riders that didn’t qualify for prize money. The event is still looking for sponsorship and there are various levels available. They include $150 horse blanket sponsor, $300 trophy buckle sponsor, $750 half barrel racing saddle, and $1500 full saddle sponsorship. As the sponsorship level increases so to do the incentives. “We’ve had plenty of support from the community so far but there’s still a long way to go,” said Yarowski. Major donations have come from the WL Log Haulers Assoc. who sponsored a full saddle and Wal-mart with a half saddle. SMS Equipment, Applied Industrial, T.J. Kier Ltd., RL7 Mechanical and Atlantic Power Corporation have all generously sponsored the event as buckle sponsors with eight additional businesses at the horse blanket level. Those interested in sponsoring the event or for information can contact Karen at 250-2960085 or e-mail raski@ telus.net.

WELCOMING BUNGALOW This welcoming bungalow would be ideal for empty nesters or for a young couple moving from an apartment to their first house. The well-designed open-plan interior offers an informal living arrangement that would suit either age group. A half-wall at the entrance to the great room opens up the view from the foyer through to the back of the house. The kitchen is a good size for easy meal preparation and offers plenty of countertop and cabinet space. The dining area has a door to a large sun deck, partly covered to extend its use when the weather is warm and make outdoor grilling a year-round possibility. The optional buffet space will expand the dining room, make serving easier and provide additional storage. The bathrooms are well designed and suitable for a house of this size. The master bedroom’s en-suite includes a soaker tub set into a bay, as well as a corner shower. The main bathroom, opposite, contains a bath/ shower combination. A linen cupboard fits neatly into the hallway between the two bathrooms. The room off the foyer is shown on the plan as a den, but this bonus room could serve as a home office or a hobby or sewing room.

Last day to nominate Community Sport Hero Monday Monday, Aug. 11 is the last day to nominate someone you know from Williams Lake as a Community Sport Hero. Sport BC is bringing the Community Sports Hero Awards back to Williams Lake on Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Ramada Inn. Guests are invited to attend.
The awards will honour long-standing community volunteers who have made significant contributions to sport. Nominations will be accepted at sportbc.com/ programs-and-events/ community-sport-heroawards/ until the end of the day on Aug. 11. “Community sport
within B.C. would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers,” said Sport BC’s president and CEO, Rob Newman. “These awards are a unique and meaningful opportunity to acknowledge individuals who continue to dedicate their time and efforts to sport in our communities.”
To be eligible nominees for the Community Sport Hero Awards must meet the following criteria: • Be an individual from the local community who makes a voluntary contribution to sport through coaching, officiating, boards, administration, special events,
SALVATION ARMY
needs reliable volunteers for the Drop-In Centre to serve coffee and run counter, engage in conversation, clean up, etc. The Drop-In Centre is open Mon.-Fri. 9am-4pm. Ask Melissa for an application.
etc. • Be an individual (not an organization or foundation); and • Has been, or continues to be, a dedicated sport volunteer for a minimum of eight years. The Williams Lake ceremony will be the first stop of 2014 for the travelling awards show.

Website provides concussion info for youth Parents and coaches can now access the latest evidence-based information on concussion diagnosis and care thanks to a new, free online resource called the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) for Parents, Players and Coaches. Based on the latest research and best-practice recommendations, the toolkit located at Cattonline.com was devel-
oped by researchers with the BC Injury Research Prevention Unit and the Child and Family Research Institute (CFRI) at BC Children’s Hospital and the University of British Columbia. Website resources include: • A brief training course on how to identify and respond effectively to concussions, manage the long-term impacts, and take steps
to make sports safer for young athletes. • Smartphone-accessible forms and tools to help parents and coaches track symptoms, decide how to respond to an injury and record information for medical professionals. • Short, five-minute videos for children and teens with stories of young athletes who have had concussions and advice about safe play in
contact sports like hockey, football and rugby. A concussion is a brain injury that can be caused by a direct blow to the head or indirect hit to another part of the body. The impact of these hits causes the brain to suddenly shift or shake inside the skull, damaging nerve fibres and leaving brain cells vulnerable to further injury. Concussions can be painful and debilitating
and can include symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and confusion. Symptoms may appear immediately or may not appear for hours or days. Parents and coaches who are educated about how to recognize and treat concussions are better equipped to seek medical attention for children when necessary and to participate actively in their care.
