The issue of youth gangs and violence will be discussed at an open meeting Thursday, June 18 in Williams Lake. Pat and Erin Graham, who run Guardian Youth at Risk and Family Services in the lakecity, have organized the meeting. “We called a meeting last month with Shannon StumpWilliam who runs Changing Directions in Support of Aboriginal Youth and we invited city council, the RCMP, the mayor, the legal system, social workers and the general public,” Pat said. “We hope this second meeting will produce more answers on how to deal with gang problems in Williams Lake.” Through their business, the Grahams work on the rehabilitation of gang members, street kids or foster kids, any children in need of having a life change, Pat said, noting he was drawn to work with youth because of his own background. “I’m an ex gang banger myself,” he said.
Outgoing Stampede Queen Michelle Ball crowned her successor, Cheyleigh Sand, at the coronation held Saturday at the Lake City Secondary School Williams Lake Campus.

Ditch Road re-opens after mine breach Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Horsefly-Likely Forest Service Road (Ditch Road) has been re-opened after being closed following the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach last August. “The presence of heavy industrial equipment working in the area to reclaim the breach and Hazeltine Creek made it necessary to close the road,” the Ministry of Forests said in a press release. However, a future closure is tentatively set from August to September 2015 to accommodate road re-construction and bridge installation at Hazeltine Creek. The ministry said it is working with the mine to determine the final location of any bridges crossing Hazeltine Creek. After hearing the
www.wltribune.com A3
road had re-opened, Claudine Kadonaga and her husband, Randy, decided to see the road for themselves Monday so they could answer any questions. They own the Likely Lodge and having the road reopen is huge for tourism, Kadonaga said Tuesday. Describing the Ditch Road as dusty, she said Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel River are running clear. They met three other vehicles on the road, which Kadonaga suspected were people wanting to go and see Hazeltine Creek for themselves as well. “It does give you a really good view up the canyon and down toward Hazeltine from the Ditch Road,” she said. Recreations sites at Polley Lake and Raft Creek recreation sites have also re-opened
HOUSE CALL
for public use, the ministry said, noting Recreation Sites and Trails BC staff expect to be able to have the sites inspected and maintained the week of June 22. Kadonaga said they visited both sites on Monday and thought they looked good. “The sites weren’t damaged from the breach, just the roads were closed to them,” she said. Likely community co-ordinator Lisa Kraus said the opening of the road will complete a circle route between Likely and Horsefly and encourage tourists to visit both communities. “The residents of Mitchell Bay also have easier access to visit Likely,” Kraus said. The Horsefly-Gavin Forest Service Road (Gavin Lake Road) remains closed to the public from kilometre 12 to kilometre 22.

Woman survives grizzly encounter Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A young woman from Williams Lake is recovering in hospital after being bitten on the arm by a grizzly bear Friday. The victim and a friend were in a remote alpine in the Big Slide Mountain area southeast of Horsefly when the surprise encounter with the bear occurred in a thickly treed area during strong winds, said Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Service (COS).
“The bear bluff charged and stopped in front of the two,” Butler said. “As the female went to get her bear spray the bear bit her arm, somewhat tossed her to the side, and ran off.” The woman underwent surgery for a broken arm, but otherwise is in good spirits recovering, Butler said. The COS office never received a call on the RAPP line about the incident, but learned about it through Facebook. Once the COS preda-
tor team verified the attack and location, an officer contacted the woman and man at the hospital in person to get further details. “Both of them were very concerned and hoped we wouldn’t have to destroy the bear, which we didn’t,” Butler said, noting when three conservation officers hiked about two hours to the site Saturday to investigate, they found no sign of the bear. “When we identified the site of the attack we considered it more
of a surprise encounter between the bear and the two people,” Butler said. “They reacted, the bear reacted, and the bear got out of there.” Butler said when there is a bear attack officers must investigate to make sure there aren’t any safety issues to the public. He also stressed the importance of reporting human/wildlife encounters. From the man’s description, the grizzly was estimated to be about three years old.
said he and some members of council attended the first meeting and will be at the meeting Thursday. “It is an ad-hoc committee at the beginning stages of trying to figure out a different way to deal with gangs and youth and hopefully more youth
won’t get involved with gangs,” said Cobb. “What we’re doing now doesn’t seem to be working so we are brainstorming for alternatives.” The meeting will take place in the Rick Hansen boardroom at city hall from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Couple leads charge in addressing gang violence Continued From Page A1 “I changed my life quite a few years ago and started working and helping with youth around me to make changes in their lives.” His training is the fact he’s “been there
done that,” he said. “In so many ways, even though I am rehabilitated, I’m one of these youths. We also take in youth atrisk in our home if they are contracted to us and that’s 24-hour care. We have youth in our care right now.” Working with her
husband has been quite a unique experience, Erin said. “It has been interesting finding out what’s really bothering the young people who are getting into so much trouble.” Gang violence touches everyone, she added.
“It has to be brought under a certain amount of control so the community isn’t at risk all the time,” she said. The Grahams moved to Williams Lake from Prince George last October to be closer to family and make some life
changes, Erin added. “We also saw there was a need here for a youth centre for certain youth. I think that’s a big thing in each community. You really have to start with the kids and ask them what they need,” Erin said. Mayor Walt Cobb

Two arrested near Likely for stolen property Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two people are in custody for possession of stolen property after the Williams Lake RCMP investigated a single vehicle rollover near Likely Monday. “As a result of an investigation into the crash, it was determined that there was a cargo trailer, four (snowmobiles), and an RV at a campsite in the Likely area, mostly stolen out of Hinton, Alberta,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said Tuesday. “A male and female were arrested in a stolen
Williams Lake RCMP responded to calls for service on the weekend that turned out to be much less serious than first reported to police. On Saturday evening at approximately 7 p.m., police received a report of a stabbing
in the 1200 block of Twelfth Avenue North. Upon further investigation police learned the matter was merely a verbal altercation, however, one male was arrested at the scene on an outstanding warrant. Later Saturday eve-
ning, at approximately 10:36 p.m., a caller reported seeing a 15-or16-year-old male in the parking lot of the 7/11 Convenience Store with a knife taped to the end of a long stick. Staff. Sgt. Del Byron said the person in ques-
tion never went into the store, did not threaten anyone and was not located by police. On Sunday at 11:36 p.m. police received a report of a drive-by shooting in the 300 block of Third Avenue North.
Byron said several officers were deployed to the residence to find that a young woman was assaulted, however, called it in as a shooting. Police are continuing to investigate the incident.

The pickup was found upside down with major damage and there was a dead dog beside the vehicle, Byron added. Further investigation by the RCMP determined there was a male involved in the crash, which led to the police discovering and seizing the stolen items at the campsite. The case is still under investigation, Byron said.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
Ed Deak will be missed
Eighty-nine years of Stampede
d Deak left us last week. He will be missed by the local art community. Known internationally, his work included paintings and woodwork. He was a strong supporter of both the Station House Gallery and the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin. He will be remembered in the Big Lake area as a neighbour and supporter of community events. A huge number of people will miss his pithy comments on a number of internet venues. He had strong ideas about the economy, government, agriculture — you name it. I don’t remember how I met Ed and Marta Deak, but Ed wrote a column for the Tribune while I was editor. For those who want to know the Deaks’ story, French Marta is featured Connection in the book WomDiana French en of Brave Mettle. My memorial to Ed is to tell you his economic ideas. They weren’t what everyone wants to hear. No doubt his ideas were shaped by his early days in Europe in the Second World War. Ed believed wealth is the temporary control of energy. He said wealth cannot be created, it can only be taken from others, from the environment, or from future generations. He said no one had ever proved his theory wrong. He felt the only solution to modern woes was the rebuilding of self sufficiency at all levels, and helping other areas of the world with appropriate technologies to permit them to survive with the least ecological damage to local and global systems. He saw globalization as a fraud by a conspiracy of multinationals to take over and control the world’s resources. He said the B.C. economy isn’t leaking jobs, just exporting them under “free trade rackets to our wealth creating foreign investors’ slave labour factories, so they can make more profits to buy B.C. up from under our feet.” There was more, but whether you agreed with Ed or not, he made you think. That isn’t a bad thing to do. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
an you feel the excitement in the air? The time is coming to bring out the welcome mat for the four-day, action-packed 89th annual Williams Lake Stampede that begins June 26. The Stampede is just around the corner and has been an important tradition for Williams Lake since 1919 and has continually supported the preservation of our western heritage and culture. Drawing thousands of tourists, families and visitors of all ages every year to our beautiful region, the Stampede is by far the most popular event in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The stampede is always great entertainment, from bull riding to the ever popular and exciting mountain race and of course one of my favourites is the ranch challenge, where local ranches take part in various events. This year’s MLA Stampede PaMusings rade is built on the foundation of Donna Barnett the Rotary 2015 theme, “Be a Gift to the World; A Tribute to Volunteers.” I would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors, businesses, Stampede President Fred Thomas, the organizing committee and a special thank you to Nancy Gale and parade chair and Daybreak Rotarian Ron Malmas for their great organizational skills, time and dedication. It is because of your service to the community that the Stampede has become one of the most popular and successful events in North America and remains a source of great pride for the Cariboo Chilcotin. I am looking forward to giving an extra hand at the Rotary Club of Williams Lake Pancake Breakfast and know that the Knights of Columbus pancake breakfast as well as the Rotary Club and the Legion’s steak dinners will be a great success. I will also be participating in the great parade that starts at 10 a.m at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Proctor Street, accompanied by others including this year’s two honourary parade marshals, Jim Byer and Dr. Peter James. Tickets to the rodeo and other Stampede events are available in the Stampede office behind the grandstand or call 250392-6585. I am looking forward to seeing old and new friends at the Stampede and hope all have a fun, safe and enjoyable time! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint
Senate shenanigans The auditor-general’s report into spending in Canada’s Senate is very disturbing reading — not because of horrible things done over time to a group of people, as was the case with generations of First Nations children — but because of the ongoing air of indifference to taxpayers and accountable spending. No less than 30 senators were cited for improper expenditures. While some are taking issue with the A-G’s findings, the standards he believes should govern spending are pretty basic. A-G Michael Ferguson stated that senators should not be billing for personal trips. They should not be charging for taxis, meals and gifts which have nothing to do with official business, or billing taxpayers for nonSenate business. They should be keeping detailed and accurate records of all their spending, personal and Senate-related. Any claims for reimbursement should be submitted promptly, and posted online so that the taxpayers who ultimately pay the bills can see how their dollars are used. Senators should not have the last word on what is considered acceptable spending, or action following investigation of their spending. They are paid by taxpayers, and taxpayers expect that those doing public business, whether in Ottawa, Victoria or Langley, are

as careful with their money as individuals are in day-to-day activities. The reckless approach to using taxpayers’ dollars by a significant number of senators, and the possibility that criminal charges may be laid against some of those who have been audited, has caused a shift in public opinion. Many people are now backing the NDP pledge to eliminate the Senate. There is certainly a better case for doing so than ever before. The Supreme Court has basically shut the door on Senate reform, given that it requires unanimity from all provinces. Abolition also requires unanimity. However, provincial governments could be pressured if there was a national plebiscite question on whether to abolish the Senate, as part of October’s federal election. Many voices have called for such a vote, and it seems an appropriate way to move forward on this issue. Such a vote would not be binding in any way. However, if significant majorities in each province backed abolition, there would be significant pressure on both the incoming federal government and provincial governments to agree to abolition by amending the constitution. That may be the only answer to dealing with this mess. - Black Press

MORE VIEWPOINTS Carbon tax a brutal hoax Question of the week Editor: Recently, you have printed letters encouraging us to ask for more carbon taxes. One letter was from the Citizen’s Climate Lobby, headquarters in Colorado. They congratulated B.C. for our four per cent carbon tax, stating it had caused a dramatic 17 per cent drop in gasoline consumption. This is misleading. Gasoline purchased in B.C. dropped but cross border shopping doubled, a 100 per cent increase. Coastal and border residents just bought cheaper American gas. Also, from 2013 on, B.C. gasoline consumption again rose so that per capita we consume the most gas in Canada, even with the four per cent tax. Gasoline and natural gas are necessities. Honest environmentalists like University of Colorado economist Keith Markus has stated the obvious, the only way a carbon tax will curtail consumption is if it is “damaging.” Germany has imposed massive environ-
mental taxes. According to the German Association of Energy Consumers, 800,000 German citizens have had their power cut off because of a doubling of electricity bills. Most of us average folk are one missed payment from bankruptcy, yet enviro alarmists are seeking punishing carbon taxes which won’t help the environment one iota but will cause misery for everyday workers, students and seniors. The Citizens Climate Lobby proudly proclaim they are climate evangelists. This echoes the words of U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Chairman, Rachendia Pachauri who stated that saving the earth is his religion. We have a confused vocal minority of gullible people with religious fervor encouraging us to ask for brutal taxes to combat the hoax of hypothetical man made climate change. Man-caused global warming is based on blind faith sustained by the deceit of eco manipulators like Green Peace, the Suzuki
(send us your cash) Foundation and devious politicians. Is this the legacy we want to pass on to our grandchildren—– devastating, incredibly high taxes? I can image them complaining, “I can’t believe our parents willingly saddled us with massive punishing taxes for gasoline and natural gas, essentials for us to live. They were misled by a bunch of environmental scaremongers with religious zealousness. This is the real LNG nightmare, we can’t afford to heat our homes in winter and the earth has been cooling for the last 20 years!” In the novel, 1984, George Orwell observed, “They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality. By lack of understanding, they simply swallowed everything.” I would hope that our society would be more discerning. We rallied to get rid of the HST. Carbon taxes are even more ludicrous.

How to converse with a liberal Editor: In regard to last month’s ‘BC Views with Tom Fletcher’ piece, I have to say I sure needed and appreciated the great laugh I had reading it after breakfast. The comic timing and informed
points outlining the madness and danger of whom he speaks, had my imagination filling in the drum’s ta-dump at each jab of the wit. Mr. Fletcher must be a fan of Anne Coulter, How To Talk To A Liberal - If You Must and Lyle

Recently there was a bad accident near Pemberton where it is alleged a drunk driver killed three people. B.C. has a three strike policy for drunk driving.

life. Why is life so cheap here? Why are so many people dying and why can’t we do something that makes a difference? I’m sick of all the death from drunk drivers. Here’s an idea — first conviction one year in jail, a fine of $5,000 and a lifetime ban on driving. Second conviction you double jail time and fines, and a third conviction you triple the punishment. If you get caught driving while prohibited, mandatory year in
jail for first offence; second is two years in jail and the third is three years in jail. Now everyone in Canada and the world knows that driving drunk is illegal and what the results end up being so the question of culpability is moot. The charge must be for manslaughter. When you kill someone the sentence should and must be a real deterrent. Right now it’s a sad joke and shows that life is cheap. When is life going to have a value greater

CENTRAL CARIBOO LANDFILL TRANSFER STATION BYLAW NO. 4950 The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) is advising residents that starting on July 4, 2015 a landfill ban on recyclables will come into effect. Any load of waste (garbage, wood, or demolition and construction) containing more than 10 per cent by volume of recyclables will be charged the greater of a $25 fine, or $200 per tonne as per the new bylaw. “Recyclables” include, but are not limited to, deposit beverage containers, pharmaceuticals, empty oil containers, oil filters, paints, lead-acid batteries, antifreeze, antifreeze containers, electronics and electrical products including
batteries and accessories, passenger and light truck tires, large and small appliances, scrap metal, corrugated cardboard, packaging and printed paper (household recyclables). If you g e n e ra t e a ny o f t h e s e recyclables you will need to develop alternate disposal methods to ensure they are being recycled. All listed materials can be recycled at various locations in Williams Lake. Household recyclables are accepted at various CRD Transfer Station recycling depots, visit rcbc.bc.ca or call 1-800-667-4321 to find dropoff locations for all other materials.
250-392-3351 or 1-800-665-1636 Suite D, 180 North Third Ave, Williams Lake
cariboord.ca
Bylaw 4950 has been established, and will be enforced, to protect our environment and manage tax dollars responsibly. Diverting recyclables from the landfill conserves our landfill space; keeps harmful substances out of our environment; reduces methane gas p ro d u c t i o n ; a n d c o n s e r ve s resources. Did you know that when you purchase recyclables you also pay for the cost of recycling them? If the recyclables end up in the garbage, you as taxpayers pay again to landfill them. Put your money to good use and recycle! twitter @CaribooRD facebook.com/caribooregion
It was the first time the school’s held a food drive, she added. Principal Mike Franklin said it was nice to see the students involved with a community cause. Food bank manager Sabrina Silvey said her shelves are in need of more protein, such as cans of tuna, beans, chicken, ham, even dried beans. “This year our Christmas donations didn’t quite take us a far as other years, so we just had to purchase a bunch of things we normally wouldn’t have to purchase yet.” Use of the food bank is in a transition phase because the way food is distributed has changed. Hampers are bigger but are handed out less often. By July 1 any clients wanting to access the food bank will have to have appointments so that Silvey and her staff can sit down with them to help determine their needs and better provide services. “We want to go beyond helping with food to see what else we can do,” she said.

Goodbye Winter... Hello Summer!

Biff’s ponds open for Father’s Day fishing Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer For the third year in a row Biff’s Pond is hosting a free Father’s Day fishing event. “People can catch and keep, or catch and release, whatever turns their crank, as long as they aren’t hooked or barbed,” Wayne Biffert said of the event, which goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, June 21.
Every May the Freshwater Fish Society of B.C. donates 300 catchable fish to stock three ponds on Biffert’s property at 2710 Dog Creek Road. “Worms are what we basically use now for bait,” Biffert said, noting he will have some fishing equipment for loan on Sunday, but encouraged people to bring their own gear and bait.
“We had 50 people here last year and I would not have had enough equipment for all of them at once.” Biffert will also serve free hamburgers, smokies, chips and pop. More than 50 events are planned throughout B.C. for the 16th Annual Family Fishing Weekend, June 19 - 21. There is also an event taking place Saturday,
June 20 at Ten Mile Lake near Quesnel. “Whether you are learning together, or spending a day enjoying a sport that you have enjoyed together for a long time, Family Fishing Weekend is a great way for the whole family to spend time together with Dad,” said Michele Dusterhoft, president, Family Fishing Society of BC. “It brings novices and
Williams Lake Renewal Project
experts together to enjoy what the sport has to offer in a fun environment.” For the duration of the weekend families may fish without needing to purchase a licence.
We can help you get a home energy rebate of up to $600 toward your attic top-up through BC Hydro/Fortis. By adding more insulation you can save as much as 50% on your heating & cooling bills.

Atlantic Power Williams Lake’s (APWL) current Electricity Purchase Agreement (EPA) with BC Hydro expires in 2018 with an option for renewal. Both parties are in discussions to extend the EPA for an additional ten years. APWL is considering the possibility of including shredded rail ties in the fibre it consumes at the Williams Lake Power Plant in order to supplement the diminishing local fibre supply as a result of further mill closures caused by a reduction in the allowable annual cut following the mountain pine beetle epidemic. APWL’s principle source of fibre will continue to be the residual fibre from existing wood processing mills in Williams Lake. However, the company will need to supplement its traditional fibre supply with alternative fuels such as rail ties and other untreated waste wood. Representatives of Atlantic Power’s Williams Lake Renewal Project will be on hand to answer questions and receive suggestions.

SOAP BOX DERBY Disabilities come in many forms Community Living representative Brenda Gordon, Spark B.C. board member Irene Willsie, who are both members of the city’s access awareness committee were there to present the awards. Willsie says Spark B.C. was founded 18 years ago to raise awareness about the need for public access in both public and private areas of communities. She says the Cariboo Memorial Complex is a good example of where steps have been taken to improve access for people with disabilities the with the inclusion of push button doors, wide doors, an elevator, a
lift at the pool, wide showers and accessible washrooms. She says the city has also done a good job of making bus stops accessible; providing wheelchair accessible buses and installing voice activated signals at crosswalks downtown, and providing accessible bus stops and buses with wheelchair lifts. “People also need to take care that wheelchair accessible spaces are not blocked,” Willsie says. She says things like putting a large garbage can near a wheelchair accessible door can make that door inaccessible for someone with a disability. People should also respect designated disabled parking spac-
es and not use them if they don’t have the proper authorization card in their vehicle. She notes society needs to consider all of the disabilities that limit access for people, vision, hearing, and a wide variety of physical disabilities. Some of the disabilities are obvious if people are in wheelchairs but others may not be so obvious. She says there are more and more people today using assistive devices because the population is aging and because people with disabilities are no longer hidden away at home as they have been in the past. “All people regardless of disability have the right to fully participate in the entire
community,” Willsie says. Gordon says the access awareness committee has been working with private contractors to encourage them to build more homes that are wheelchair accessible with easy access, wide doors and hallways and accessible bathrooms. Spark B.C. promotes people planning positive change. Access Awareness Day is ultimately about more than just one day a year. It is a call to respond creatively and purposefully to build a society where barriers to inclusion are removed, and to ensure the independence, selfesteem, dignity and security of all citizens.

Help needed to paint a mandala in Boitanio Park The Cariboo Art Society and the Williams Lake Community Arts Council are collaborating with various community groups this week to paint another mandala for Boitanio Park on the floor of the Gwen Pharis Ringwood stage. Artist Cat Prevette says the mandala will be a multicultural tribute with four hands at its centre, one black, one white, one red, and one yellow to represent the four world races. Around the outside there will be 16 segments which will be painted by representatives from as many of the community’s multicultural sectors as possible. The group will start painting at 1 p.m. on
Friday afternoon, and continue painting between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday so that the floor mural on the stage is completed and dry in time for the Aboriginal Day celebrations in Boitanio Park on Sunday, June 21. Last year a mandala was painted on the walkway to the washrooms. Last year Prevette says the group painted the mural on Aboriginal Day but it was too busy in the park with all the activities going on to keep the site clean for the painting process, so this year they are starting a day or two early. People who would like to participate in painting the mandala can call Prevette at 250-296-3670.

New rules for Stampede Queen contest Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer In an emotion filled ceremony Saturday outgoing 2014/15 Stampede Queen Michelle Ball crowned her successor Miss Daybreak Rotary Cheyleigh Sand as the 2015/16 Stampede Queen. Outgoing 2014/15 Princess Matina Durfeld presented Cheyleigh with her banner. Under new rules established by the incoming Stampede Queen Committee only a queen will be crowned if there are three or fewer contestants running, as there were this year, says new committee chair Alexis Forseille. “I feel amazing,” Cheyleigh said after all the flowers were presented, accolades and speeches, presents and awards presented, and pictures were taken. “It hasn’t totally sunk in yet but it feels good. This is one thing I’ve wanted to do for the past four years … I am very excited.” Cheyleigh says she started volunteering at the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo a few years ago and shadowing the Stampede royalty and contestants. “I was really impressed with the program and knew that when I was old enough I wanted to run for Stampede Queen.” She says she is looking forward to being with her two fellow contestants at the grand entries at Stampede June 26 to 29 and excited about going to the CFR Rodeo.

She says it was an awesome experience to run for Stampede Queen with her fellow contestants Miss Minton Creek Ranch Stephanie Warnock and Miss Titchener Contracting Paige Brinoni and she is looking forward to Stampede with them. Forseille, who formed the new
Stampede Queen committee in February says the decision not to crown a princess when there are three or fewer contestants is in keeping with what is now being done in the Alberta. She says the contestants always have a chaperone with them and she will be personally escorting Cheyleigh to the major events this year, taking time out when she returns to school for her third year as an animal biology major at TRU in Kamloops to make the trips to events such
as the Canadian Rodeo Finals in Edmonton in the fall. “It’s been really easy,” Forseille says “The girls have been absolutely phenomenal. I am having fun.” The new Stampede Queen Committee also includes Alexis’s mom Silvia Dubray, Kathee Sukert, and her daughter 2013 Princess Karina Sukert, who co-hosted the evening with Forseille. Sherry Bullock is the Stampede Queen’s Committee director.
The annual Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide event is coming up on Father’s Day, June 21 and will be celebrated with a ride down the Williams Lake River Valley Trail between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. “The ride in Williams Lake ranges from a five kilometre family/beginner ride, a 10 kilometre intermediate ride, and a 20 kilometre ride route,” says event organizer Ashlee Hyde. ‘The ride is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels.” She says registration and donations can be made online at www.ridedonthide. com. Ride Don’t Hide is an annual event sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association and Shoppers Drug Mart to raise awareness, reduce stigma and show support and ultimately take action for mental health.

Jayme Carrier and her partner Matthew McDonald were thrilled to get the news that they were the first place winners in the Dry Grad 2015 annual truck raffle. Last week they picked up their refurbished 1994 Chevy extended cab with the striking decorative wrap at Cariboo Chevrolet Buick GMC which co-ordinated refurbishing of the vehicle. “We are excited,” Jayme said. With only one small car and two young children, they said they couldn’t be happier to have this second vehicle. Jayme works as a cashier at Save-OnFoods and is currently on maternity leave with their sevenweek-old daughter, Izzabelle. They also

Williams Lake PERSONAL EXERCISE GOALS Finding motivation to train or stick with exercise on a regular basis isn’t always easy. Demanding schedules, burn-out, and illness are just a few of the things that may interrupt your fitness routine. 1. Set Specific Goals. Research shows that specific goals are the most motivating. A specific goal is to complete a five kilometre walk or attend three exercise classes in a week. 2. Set Measurable Goals. Simply saying that you want to get fitter is not enough detail. You need to be able to chart and document progress toward your goals. 3. Set Adjustable Goals. This means your goals are flexible enough to accommodate unexpected challenges without becoming obsolete. An injury may force you to modify your goal.
Jayme said her dad, Norman Carrier, actually bought two tickets for her while the family was attending the Lions/Lioness Mother’s Day Breakfast at the SaveOn parking lot this spring. Matthew works with his brother Mike McDonald and his wife Kristen who own Maxjet Dry Ice Blast-
ing. Matthew says dry ice blasting is an eco-friendly cleaning method that is used to clean industrial equipment in sawmills and other industries and is also used to clean transformers while the electricity is still live. “What we do in two days would take two weeks using air chiseling,” said Matthew,
who used the truck that morning to go to a job in Quesnel. He said the company also does asbestos and vermiculite removal and works all over the province from their base in Williams Lake. “There is only one other company in B.C. that does dry ice blasting,” Matthew said.

10th Arts on the Fly stays in Horsefly townsite Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor
Donna Knous of Williams Lake and Mark Williams of Victoria are thrilled to announce the engagement of their daughter, Sierra Williams, to Jeremy Schmid, son of Ernie and Jan Schmid of 150 Mile House. The wedding will take place in the summer of 2016.
COME EARLY
Although Arts on the Fly was extremely excited to usher in our second decade at a beautiful new private location, unforeseen complications have brought us back to our roots. Arts on the Fly’s Super Special 10th Anniversary Edition will be going down in our original location in the heart of downtown Horsefly on July 10 and 11. While this location has its quirks, it has treated us well for the last nine years, and we look forward to rocking it downtown yet again. All the work that has gone into gussying up the Little Horsefly Western Town for the festival will not be squandered; with a bit more work we shall enjoy the beautiful infrastructure that Darcy Jackson and Christina Mary have established for the festival in future seasons. We’re working extra hard to ensure that festival goers get the most of their Arts on the Fly experience. The decision to move to a private location came
naturally as the best way to keep the focus on the art and music, and keep the partying tag-alongs at bay. Because this option is off the table for this year, we’re taking extra precautions to ensure that our wildly attractive and intelligent clientele don’t have to tolerate any obnoxious party-crashers. For the first time, the entire camping area on the beautiful Horsefly River will be reserved for festival pass holders only. Parking on festival grounds and in all camping areas will be reserved for ticket holders and festival staff. As this is a family festival, campers under 18 will require a guardian. An increased volunteer presence will help keep the roads and bridge clear of pedestrian traffic. Camping will have two separate areas: one that accommodates the sleepers
and one that welcomes late night jam sessions. We welcome artslovers of all ages to cut loose and shake their thang in a co-operative and respectful manner. Every day, we’re adding information to our website about artists, workshops and vendors. Stay up to date by following us on Facebook. Tickets are available now at the Bean Counter in Williams Lake and Clarke’s General Store in Horsefly. See you at the Fly!

Shirley Weetman lovingly remembered Shirley Leona Weetman was born Feb. 21, 1935 in Meadow Lake, Sask. the youngest of nine children born to Russell and Freda Craig. Shirley’s father was a grain farmer. In 1945 he sold the homestead and moved the family to Enderby in the Okanagan. Shirley was 10 when she started school in Enderby where she graduated, married Morley Garratt in June of 1954 and started her WHEN YOU CAN

family. Their first child Linda Gay was born Nov. 2, 1954. Shirley lived in Enderby and raised Linda while Morley attended University in Victoria to pursue his teaching career. Their second child William Russell was born in Enderby in Nov. 21, 1956. In 1958 the family moved to Surrey where Morley started his teaching career. Living in a big city was a huge change for Shirley. Nov. 29, 1960 Shirley gave birth to twins Tammy Jean and Terry Craig. She had no idea she was carrying twins until the nurse placed baby number two in her arms. Raising four chil-

With a few keystrokes you can sample thousands of opinions, aoat in a sea of information. But as the volume increases, the accuracy and reliability of professional journalism is essential. Gathering and sorting the facts, weighing and interpreting events, and following the story from beginning to end is more important than ever.
Shirley Weetman dren ages six and under, Shirley was busy. In 1965 times were getting financially tough for the family living on one income so Shirley took a full time job at the Dare Cookie Factory in Surrey and started a fulfilling 10-year career. She became the voice of the people and was the union representative and negotiator for her co-workers at Dare Foods. It wasn’t easy for her to juggle full time work, raise a family and commit to the demands of a union representative but Shirley could always accept responsibility, stand up and do what needed to be done. Shirley fought for fairness and better working conditions for her fellow co-workers and earned the respect of Dare Food representatives and their employees when she negotiated a fair contract for both sides. In 1965 Morley and Shirley joined the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 175 in Newton. Shirley would have celebrated 50 years with the Legion Ladies Auxiliary this year. The legion was a source of pride for Shirley as she always had a deep respect for the military, the wars and the veterans who served in them. Shirley also acquired a passion for baseball, keeping score at games when sons, Bill and Terry played Little League. She became chief scorekeeper and stats keeper for the Kennedy Surrey Little League and could tell
you the batting averages for each and every child playing baseball in that league. She used to say that if the scorekeeper recorded the game properly any coach could look at it after the game and it would tell him exactly how the game was played. In 1972 daughter, Linda, married and moved to to the Doyle Ranch on the Chimney Lake Road near Williams Lake. Shirley and Morley had been having marital problems and divorced in 1972, leaving Shirley single with three children at home. She continued to work at Dare Foods, volunteered at the Legion and stayed active in Little League. While visiting Linda one Stampede weekend she met rancher Wilfred Weetman, a handsome widower who lived down the road from Linda and her family. Smitten almost at first sight, Shirley and Wilfred travelled back and forth to see one another and on Oct. 10, 1975 they were married and started their ranching life together at Brunson Lake with their blended family of four children. Shirley became a happy rancher’s wife. Her family was complete, or so she thought. She started to feel poorly so off to the doctor she went. A barrage of tests were completed and every one came back negative except one. Shirley was pregnant. On Sept. 27, 1976, Robert Wilfred Weet-
man was born. People who visited the ranch were welcomed by Shirley with open arms, a huge smile, a drink and usually a meal. Shirley enjoyed gardening and loved animals. One of her cherished outdoor friends was a big black crow named Doc. It also wasn’t unusual to find an orphaned calf she was nursing back to health in the basement. Branding the first weekend in May with all the family, friends and children was Shirley’s favourite time of year. She would cook for a week prior to the event and always made sure the children had everything they needed to enjoy the event, food, juice, treats and toys. When their children were grown with children of their own, she rejoined the legion ladies auxiliary. After Wilfred passed away it was Shirley’s legion friends who gave her the strength to carry on. Shirley passed away Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at the Williams Lake Seniors’ Village. She leaves to mourn her daughter Linda and husband Vaughn, son Bill and his wife Lori, daughter Tammy and son Terry, son Wade and his wife Kathy, son Robert and fiancé Amy, and Ashley, mother to Willoughby. Shirley was also blessed with nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren who were the apple of her eye: grandchildren and their spouses, Bob and Rochelle, Mandi and Shane, Nick and Sara, Kirsten, Justine, Emily, Ethan, Kiera and Willoughby, and great-grandchildren Harley and Dallas. Shirley’s siblings Fritz, Melvin, Clara, Druella, Bertha, Delta, Robert and Lenore all were raised and grew up on the family farm with her. Fritz and Lenore predeceased Shirley while she was just a child. Shirley also leaves so very many cherished nieces, nephews, family members and friends.

Mini Jamboree ends season on high note
Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21
Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Roughly 500 soccer players laced up their cleats last week at the U6 to U10 Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association Mini Wind Up Jamboree. Games began Thursday evening on downtown fields and stretched throughout the weekend, finishing Saturday at the Esler Sports Complex. A testament to how many families are involved in Williams Lake youth soccer was a 30 minute traffic jam that backed vehicles up a kilometre in each direction, leaving soccer players to leave their parents behind to park vehicles while they ran off to their respective games. “It shows you how many kids play soccer in Williams Lake,” said WLYSA mini director Christina Lambe. “It was a good turnout, and the weather was great.” Lambe thanked all of the volunteers who helped make the season successful. “Williams Lake youth soccer wouldn’t run without all the great volunteers to coach and to phone parents, and to the parents who bring their kids out every single Saturday and during the week for practices,” she said. The senior (U11 to U18) windup starts today, June 17, with games wrapping up Saturday, June 20, at the Esler Sports Complex soccer fields.
The third annual Cariboo GM Soap Box Derby takes place at the local dealership on Mackenzie Avenue. Kids of all ages have been tasked with building the fastest soap box they can come up with and will be pitted against one another for an evening filled with racing and family fun. The Cariboo GM Grillverado will be on site for a barbecue by donation, with all of the proceeds going to the Williams Lake Child Development Centre. Also up for grabs will be the prestigious Piston Cups awarded to the fastest racers of the evening. Participants must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have their CareCard number. Registration gets underway at 6 p.m., with racing to start at 7 p.m.
Two Ladies Classic

Entry fee is $110 per person and includes a Friday night mixer, 36 holes of golf, a Saturday night dinner, sponsored hole prizes both days, sponsored hole-in-one prizes, a continental breakfast both days and a deuce pot both days.

To register call the pro shop at 250-392-6026 or e-mail Lisa Kerley at lckerley@hotmail.com. All participants must have a registered RCGA handicap.

Cash, prizes awarded at 32nd annual Big Lake Fishing Derby The 32nd annual Big Lake Fishing Derby June 5-7 was a whopping success, organizers said. After registrations took place Friday evening contestants baited their lines to hook the biggest catch competing in both youth and adult classes. Multiple door prizes and raffle draw giveaways were also up for grabs throughout the weekend. In the adult division, anglers looked to reel
in the largest rainbow trout. Don Parsons achieved the feat, netting a one-and-a-halfpound rainbow to claim the event’s top prize of $1,000 cash. Second place in the adult division and $300 went to Paul Hicks with a 1.38-pound rainbow, while Paul Araki brought home a new fishing rod for his 1.37-pound fish. In the youth division it was Ethan Lau-
rie earning himself $200 for his 1.4-pound trout. Second place was Jada Schuetze with a 1.1-pound fish for $50, while Jordon Beaman won a new fishing rod in third place with his 1-pound catch. A dance June 6 capped off the festivities with music by Third Degree, where Peggy Gleason won the fishing derby dance door prize for a weekend getaway to Elysia Resort. The fishing derby
progressive three-day 50/50 raffle of $300 was won by Eric BrownJohn. Lastly, an ATV raffle for a 2015 Polaris Sportsman ETX, valued at $8,292, was won by John Banyard of Williams Lake. Organizers said huge thanks are in order to all of the derby sponsors who helped offer all of the cash prizes and merchandise doled out throughout the weekend.

Gymnastics team returns from Ogopogo Invitational Team brings home medals galore from tough competition Eleven gymnasts from the Cariboo Chilcotin Gymnastics Association travelled to the Ogopogo Invitational in Kelowna June 5-7. A total of 750 gymnasts competed in the competition from B.C, Alberta and the Yukon. It was the last meet of the year competing with the new Junior Olympic Program that Gymnastics B.C adopted this season. CCGA coach Annie Glanville said the Ogopogo Invitational is always a challenging meet due to the sheer number of competitors. “The Ogopogo meet is by far the toughest competition for our club,” Glanville said. “These gymnasts have worked so hard and I am really proud of them.” Here are the results:
Competing in the Junior Olympic level 2 category Kylie Syme took silver overall, Brooke Syme won silver overall, Nya Chutskoff claimed silver overall, Zaidee Campbell won silver overall and Kalli Campbell earned silver overall, while Elise Carson finished with a bronze overall. Competing in the Junior Olympic level 3 category were Hunter Jariett, who took fourth on vault and bars, and Abayah Hunt, who worked to a gold on vault. In the Junior Olympic level 6 category Thea Lutters leapt to sixth on vault, while Gabrielle Gracia claimed 11th on floor. CCGA’s highest competing gymnast was Michaela Newberry in the Junior Olympic level 7 category where she bal-

anced her way to fourth place on beam. The Ogopogo Invitational now caps off the competitive season for the CCGA, who attended multiple competitive meets throughout the season. “It was a great end to their season and I look forward to seeing what they can accomplish next,” Glanville said.

Soccer players get international experience Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Nine lakecity soccer players were afforded the chance to play soccer abroad recently through the Vancouverbased European Football School. Two soccer tours — the first to Laguna Beach, CA., and the second to Europe — were made up of players from Vancouver, Squamish, Pemberton, Salmon Arm and Williams Lake. On the EFS under-13, under-14 team which travelled to California late April, Amanda Lane, Taylor Wessels, Paige Call and Jessica Rowley were handpicked by EFS head coach Saibo Talic to represent Williams Lake and make the trip. Morgan Schofield, Isabelle Call, Melissa Rispin, Natasha Lewis and Kara Zurak were selected to a under-17 team for the European

chelle Ring-Passant, a former player on the Canadian women’s national soccer team and Steve MacDonald were pleased with the result. “They all played very good,” Talic said. “Paige was among the best of the players but all four girls were great. I saw
good improvement from Jessica, our goaltender.” Talic said considering this was the first time that team had played together, he was happy with how the team gelled. “I’m pleased with the performance,” he said. “We played some very
strong under-14 teams.” For the two-week European tour, Talic said the team won two games and lost four against some tough competition. “It was a good trip, but really tough for us,” Talic said. “We played six games and considering we lost a 2-0 game to a team with two national German players, I was happy.” He said Rispin played well in goal, while Lewis impressed him on many levels on the pitch. “She [Lewis] was playing really well,” Talic said. “Isabelle, Morgan and Kara, too. Overall they did OK.” Talic is now preparing to bring his annual European Football School soccer camp to Williams Lake July 13-17 at the Esler Sports Complex soccer fields.

WEETMAN On June the 7th, 2015, long term residents John and Betty Weetman were involved in a motor vehicle accident. Cause of the crash is yet to be determined. John unfortunately succumbed to his injuries immediately after the accident. He leaves behind Betty, his wife of 48 years, their 4 children, the spouses of their children and a total of 12 grandchildren. A funeral for John will be held at a later date as the family is currently with Betty who was admitted to University Hospital in Edmonton and is in critical care with her injuries. The family would like to extend their heart felt thanks for the love and support we have received from our loved ones and the community. Our words cannot express our gratitude!! The family requests no flowers at this time as they are not allowed in the area that Betty is located. We appreciate your understanding during this sad time, we will keep everyone posted as to future plans for John and Betty. Again the Weetman family would like to send you our Thanks.
It is with heartfelt sadness that the family announces the passing of Therese Flora Wideen of Williams Lake on June 10, 2015 at the age of 89.

Glagowski,
Klaus-Dieter
May 15th, 1938 - June 11th, 2015 With heavy hearts we had to say goodbye to Klaus, who passed away at home in the loving care of his family. He leaves behind Siegrid, his wife of 51 years, his daughter Ariane, son-in-law David, granddaughter Charlotte, and his sister Anneliese who lives in Germany. We lost a true gentleman and loving father. Klaus was born in Germany where he left the former East Germany by passing Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. To avoid conscription into the West German army, he decided to do volunteer work in a Catholic Mission in the Belgian Congo (now Zaire) where he worked for two years. There he learned many languages including Dutch, English, French, and Lingala (Congo dialect). Africa became his second home. He returned briefly to Germany but went back to Africa (Burundi) where he worked for the White Fathers Catholic Mission. After two and a half years he decided to settle down and married Siegrid.

However, after spending so much time in the wilderness of Africa, Germany was not for him anymore. In 1969, a few years after the birth of his daughter, the family left Germany and settled in Kelowna. In 1972, the family moved for the last time, finding their home in Williams Lake. Klaus worked as a Volkswagen mechanic at Kenworth Motors and in 1979 he and his partner Erwin Richter founded Williams Lake Autohaus. He decided to retire in the early nineties. Klaus loved hunting, camping, fishing and was most happy somewhere in the mountains up north. His best hunting partner was always his wife, who never shot anything. What a wonderful life we had together. His memorial ceremony will be held on Saturday July 11, 2015 at 11:00 am at the Sacred Heart Church. Father Derrick Cameron officiating. The family would like to give special thanks for the support of our wonderful neighbours, friends, and the Home Care nurses.

BUSINESS Williams Lake Small Town Love attracts crowd Hundreds turned out to celebrate Williams Lake’s unique and independent small businesses Sunday when Small Town Love invaded Boitanio Park. Williams Lake recently partnered with Northern Development Initiative Trust (Northern Development) to deliver a unique online marketing program (www.lovewilliamslake.com). The program highlights locally-owned independent businesses with an aim to strengthen their competitiveness and keep more dollars in the local economy. The website features a search and directory function to quickly find businesses or specific products online, plus a map that helps residents and tourists to the community
locate and visit each business with ease. The launch party was free to attend, featured food, on-stage and children’s entertainment, free grab bags, and prize draws. Residents and community visitors joined in the celebration. Small Town Love is a partnership between Northern Development and entrepreneur Amy Quarry, who created and launched the original Small Town Love initiative in Quesnel. Since 2011, independent Quesnel-based businesses have been working collaboratively under the Small Town Love marketing brand and new businesses are added to the program each year, confirming that Quarry’s original concept has been well received and highly successful.
