By all accounts the 89th annual Williams Lake Stampede went off without a hitch. More than 14,500 rodeo fans took in the four-day event, which saw some of the best cowboys and cowgirls competing from across North America. “The rodeo itself was better than it has been in years,” said Williams Lake Stampede Association president Fred Thomas of the top level of competitors. “The animals were probably a little better than the competitors even though the competitors were world class.” Extremely hot weather and the fact that Canada Day fell midweek may be to blame for not breaking any attendance records this year, however, the turn out was still great, Thomas said. “14,000 is still a fantastic number.” On the policing side of things Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron also reported no major incidents over the weekend, attributing the good behaviour to good organizing and good planning on behalf of the Williams Lake Stampede Association as well as the extra policing on the streets. “That all helps. It was a smooth, well-run event.”

City toughens prolific offender approach Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake city council wants legislation changed so that local governments can set fines targeting prolific offenders. “We want to specifically go after prolific offenders and make sure we have fees that will frustrate them and let them know how serious we are,” Coun. Scott Nelson said during Tuesday’s regular council meeting, noting a low end fine would be $1,000 and the high end $10,000. Council agreed unanimously to submit a resolution asking the
www.wltribune.com A3
Union of B.C. Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to amend the charter. “We would be asking that all municipalities that have prolific offenders who continually harass their citizens would be given the right to allow bylaw enforcement officers to charge and penalize those individuals,” Nelson said. “If you are out there constantly harassing granny or grandpa and you won’t move out of their place and constantly giving them a hard time, our bylaw officers and the RCMP are limited with the power of what they can do.”
Council will ask the North Central Local Government Association for support and will request a face-toface meeting with the Attorney General. “This is a serious issue,” Nelson said. “We had a public meeting the other day about it, and quite frankly we’re tired of the prolific offenders in our community wreaking havoc.” Acting Mayor Sue Zacharias agreed it would be good for Williams Lake to have the right to set the fees. “If we can get other communities on board to lobby with us it will be good for the whole province,” she said.

Nimpkish to be replaced by 2018: Minister of Transportation Todd Stone Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The provincial government is close to signing an agreement with BC Ferries for a new vessel to replace the Nimpkish, said Todd Stone, Minister of Transporation and Infrastructure. “The Nimpkish will have to be replaced no later than 2018, possibly earlier,” Stone said while in Williams Lake Thursday. “Very soon B.C. Ferries will begin the process of procuring a new vessel.” While he was not sure how big the new ferry will be, Stone said it is apparent the capacity of the Nimpkish with its capacity to hold 16 vehicles and 133 passengers is not large enough. “Again the season is booked solid, as it was last season and the

a modern ship with all the modern amenities and fully accessible, he
added. Stone stressed, however, there will be no
reinstatement of Route 40 with the direct link between Port Hardy
and Bella Coola. “I completely understand there is a level of frustration and disappointment with that and know there have been impacts to the tourism industry, with the hardest hit being Bella Coola, then the Chilcotin part of the province and some businesses here in Williams Lake,” he said, adding he hoped the new ferry announcement brings certainty to the region’s tourism industry. The announcement of a new ferry is good news said Petrus Rykes, chair of Save the Discovery Coast Ferry and president of the West Chilcotin Tourism Association. “Right now if they get a bigger ferry and they have some amenities, that would bring back some of the players internationally,”
Rykes said. “It’s a doable proposition. It can make money if it’s run properly, otherwise we wouldn’t be bothered fighting for it.” Stone promised to make sure there is a good amount of community engagement with people throughout the Bella Coola Valley and CaribooChilcotin around the new ferry’s scheduling. “All of that process will be led by B.C. Ferries,” Stone said. “It’s only our job to tell BC Ferries which routes we are prepared to fund and at what level of service.” The province continues to receive $30 million annually from the federal government to provide the continuation of service between the mainland and Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, Stone confirmed.

LANDFILL BAN ON RECYCLABLES
EFFECTIVE JULY 4TH
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

appy Canada Day. Today we celebrate our 148th birthday as a nation, marking the day in 1867 when the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario united to become the Dominion of Canada. ( B.C. joined in 1871). The Dominion was somewhat under the political thumb of Great Britain until 1982, when the Canadian Constitution was patriated. As flags wave at community events across the country, how many of us give much thought to what being a Canadian means? Many see Canada Day as just an other stat holiday. French Most of us take Connection our citizenship Diana French and all that goes with it (rights and freedoms) pretty much for granted. Maybe this is the year we should start paying attention. Some weird things have happened. The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) is the guardian of our constitution. Justices are appointed by whatever government is in power. Their job is to ensure those governments don’t get too cocky. Our current federal government has had some problems with this. A number of their proposed laws have been rejected by the high court. At one point the Prime Minster took personal shots at Chief Justice Beverly McLaughlin over a ruling he didn’t like. Just recently the Health Minister was angry over a SCC ruling on medical marijuana. Then there is the senate. Senators are also appointed by the government of the day. Under the Constitution, they are supposed to give “sober second thought” to proposed federal legislation. An investigation triggered by Senator Mike Duffy, who got too greedy, found other Senators weren’t playing by the rules either. This has both politicians and taxpayers wondering how to keep that august body on track. Rules and regulations, including the Constitution, are there to protect citizens. When governments and individuals chose not to follow the rules, it can be a costly process to set things right. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Celebrating what makes us Canadian It’s time to celebrate our great country today on Canada Day. There are so many things that make our country great — from the political freedoms we enjoy to the breathtaking natural landscapes all around us, we all know how lucky we all are to be born Canadian. And as diverse as we all are as Canadians, so too are the ways we choose to celebrate. For some a day of fishing or camping with friends and family is likely in store, while for others, marking the occasion with the community at Boitanio Park may be in order.

here are many, undiscovered, vacation opportunities waiting to be discovered throughout B.C. With wide open spaces, crystal clear rivers, hiking and outdoor vehicle trails abound – the CaribooChilcotin offers an amazing space to explore and connect with nature. Whether you’re looking for somewhere new or getting reacquainted with an old favourite — the Cariboo is full of many vibrant communities and landscapes to explore. It is a place with a soul-nurturing and hospitable environment that connects those from near or far to its natural beauty. Why pack your bags to go overseas when we have so much to discover right here at home? MLA On July 4 and 5, Musings the Anahim Lake Community AsDonna Barnett sociation is hosting their annual Anahim Lake Stampede where cowboys and riders will participate from all over B.C. and Alberta. The Stampede will have activities such as the rodeo, a parade, beer gardens, dancing and a barbecue. If you are unable to make that one, there is also the Redstone Rodeo held in mid-August that you can’t miss! Surrounded by the Coastal Mountains and rolling grasslands, Nimpo Lake is a beautiful place to go hiking, bird watching, fishing, canoeing and flightseeing. Tweedsmuir Provincial Park to the west, Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park to the north, and Tsyl’os Provincial Park to the southeast are also breathtaking areas that offer unique treasures and views found nowhere else. With remote lakes and green backcountry forests, the community of Alexis Creek is also a spectacular place to go camping, backpacking, horseback riding or relax in one of the remote lodges or guest ranches. The gateway to three major mountain valleys: West branch, Chilko and Tatlayoko — is the gorgeous Tatla Lake, with majestic mountain views and fixed-wing and helicopter flightseeing tours that overlook the joined forces of the rivers and lakes that canoers and kayakers can explore. I encourage everyone this summer to challenge themselves to try something new and local to enjoy with friends or family that will bring out that pioneer spirit our beautiful region was built on. To check out more staycation ideas, feel free to visit www.hellobc.com. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Thanks for the help Editor: We would like to thank McDonald’s Restaurant, and all those citizens who helped us out after the accident in the McDonald’s drive-thru on Wednesday, June 24. We were in the red car and were not injured in the accident but
were shown much care and concern by everyone. Many thanks to James Beere, to the owners of McDonald’s and all their staff, the police, the firemen, Jonathon of Bee Jay’s towing, and all those who assisted us. You were so very kind and caring. We really appreciate that there are so many wonderful people in

You can’t deny the science on climate change Editor: An appeal to climate change deniers; first, an explanation of peer-reviewed science. Peer-reviewed science, from my non-science background, means science that has been published and evaluated by other scientists to ensure that proper scientific methods are used, to ensure the best probability/accuracy of the research outcomes. Here are some results of a geochemist, James Powell, who did a count of the published/ peer-reviewed research on climate change in the year 2013. In that year alone, there were 10,885 peer-reviewed, published research studies confirming anthropogenic (man-made) global warming — climate change. There were a mere two peerreviewed studies that rejected climate change.
www.wltribune.com A7
That would translate into a rough probability that there is a 99.99 per cent chance climate change is true compared to a less than one in 1,000 chance it is not true. If your doctor said: “The best science indicates there is a 99.99 per cent chance that if you take this pill for 10 days you will heal and live;” if you don’t take the pill, you have a .01 per cent chance or 1 in 1,000 chance of living. Your choice? Antibiotics are not even 99.99 per cent effective. Unfortunately, if you ignore climate change your children and grandchildren and everybody’s children will pay the price for ignorance and lack of action and selfishness. There is other research out there but it is paid for by oil companies and pipeline companies, huge investment firms and
not published for peer review. The objective of that so-called science is to mislead you. Think about it. Why wouldn’t they publish it if it were good science? I was talking to a teacher friend the other day and he told me there is much more research evidence confirming climate change than there is showing smoking causes cancer. Do you think we should encourage kids to smoke because science lies? Pope Francis gets peer-reviewed science. He was a chemist in his younger life. When change is needed in one’s life, intentional ignorance provides the best alibi for doing nothing but the shame is, everybody knows. Tom Salley Williams Lake

tries throughout B.C.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said the fencing program is valuable to ranchers and farmers, by keeping their livestock safe and contained, and it also helps prevent crashes, boosting safety for motorists travelling through the countryside. The BC Cattlemen’s Association will continue to administer the program, by taking applications from livestock owners who are seeking assistance to build fences adjacent to the highway. Projects are selected based on
several factors including current fence condition, livestock headcount and the highway designation. “BC Cattlemen’s Association commends the B.C. government in their continued commitment to protect motorists from livestock that inadvertently make their way onto the highway due to deteriorating fences,” said BC Cattlemen’s Association general manager Kevin Boon. “This investment is a benefit to ranchers and livestock producers and will help to keep the public safe
as they travel our highways.” B.C. on the Move is government’s 10-year plan for the improvement of the province’s transportation network. Actions prioritized in B.C. on the Move will enhance safety, grow the economy, maintain and replace aging infrastructure and support trade for B.C.’s expanding resource sectors through Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway. Over the next three years, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will invest up to $2.5 billion to improve B.C.’s transportation network.

Human footprints found on Hakai could be oldest in North America Caitlin Thompson Special to Tribune/Advisor Over 13,000 years ago two adults and a child walked around a fire pit on Calvert Island. The footprints they left were embedded in soft clay near the shoreline, which was then covered with black sand. They remained hidden there until a team of archeologists led by Dr. Daryl Fedje and Dr. Duncan McLaren excavated an area just below the high tideline, unearthing a dozen human footprints impressed in clay. They are now believed to be the oldest footprints ever found in North America. Charcoal found with the prints has been radiocarbon dated to 13,200 years ago. Adjacent samples were dated to 2,000 years ago, and additional samples are currently being processed to hone the chronology. If the footprints can be conclusively dated to 13,200 years ago, they will be the oldest known footprints in North America, and the sec-

What makes Hakai different from so many other coastal shorelines is that sea level changes have been minimal, unlike most historical coastal settlements which were drowned by the end of the last ice age. “Calvert Island has relatively stable shoreline history, which is very unusual,” explained Fedje. B.C.’s Lower Mainland and Haida Gwaii have risen and dropped by more than 150 metres, washing out many potential archeological sites, but Calvert Island is the same place it was
thousands of years ago, he said. The oldest human archeological remains ever found in B.C. are from a cave in Haida Gwaii, dating to about 12,500 years ago. McLaren said he did not expect the age of the footprints to be so ancient. “This is pushing it back 700 years,” he said. “It’s quite a long period of time.” “We were very excited,” McLaren recalled. “To tell you the truth, we were a little bit surprised that we got such early dates.” Because the dig took place less than two months ago, the team hasn’t yet had the chance to get radiocar-

But McLaren said the team decided to go public with the results because it’s an exciting find and journalists had been asking about it. He cautioned that more work is needed to confirm the results, as material found a few metres away was just 2,000 years old. But he says he’s fairly confident the footprints are closer to 13,200 years old because those dates
came from the footprint material itself. The first footprint, pressed in grey clay that was covered with other sediments, was found late last year just as work was wrapping up for the autumn season. The results prompted the team to return to Calvert Island to do a larger dig this past May. This time, they found 12 distinct footprints belonging to a larger adult, a smaller adult and a child, and the remains of a hearth fire that the group
— probably a family — had been gathered around. The hearth itself was full of charcoal and ash and ringed by rocks, including a stone tool that would have been used for chopping or cutting, McLaren said. McLaren also said the findings have broader implications on the theories of how the first peoples arrived in North America. McLaren says the find could provide key evidence about how the continent’s first inhab-
itants migrated south. Older archeological remains have been found in both north of B.C., in Alaska, and south of B.C. in Oregon. It wasn’t clear whether people moved from Alaska to Oregon by travelling inland on foot near the Rockies or along the coast by boat. But the new discovery favours the water route. “There’s no way to get to Calvert Island other than watercraft, and that applies to 13,000 years ago as it does today,” McLaren said. The team plans to do carbon dating on the new footprints to ensure they can duplicate their results. They are also dating the ash from the hearth and examining it under the microscope. The research was supported by the Hakai Institute, a research organization funded by the private, non-profit Tula Foundation. Members of the local Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv First Nations also participated. - With files from CBC News and the Hakai Institute

Canada Day celebrations Canada Day celebrations will take place in Boitanio Park July 1 with all sorts of games, crafts, quizzes, face painting, RO cars and more for the kids, and various craft and food vendors, entertainment, and free cake to celebrate. The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with entertainment starting at 11:30 p.m. Gaeil Farrar photos
The Springhouse 4-H Club float took the top prize of $500 with their float which the six judges felt best met the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade theme Be a Gift to the World: A Tribute to Volunteers.
Parade winners While there were a lot of beautiful horses and wagons in the 2015 Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade it went off without a proverbial hitch, says parade marshal Ron Malmas. He says there were 92 enties and there was a wonderful turnout of spectators. “It was an excellent, excellent time for all of us, no hickups anywhere,” Malmas says.
Script reading
The Studio Theatre is holding a script reading at the theatre on July 19 starting at 5 p.m. People who have a script or scripts they would like to read that are not part of the 2015/16 season are invited to bring them along. Each script piece should be no longer than 10 minutes. Readers without scripts are also invited to join the fun. Advance registration is required as the club is providing a potluck hamburger barbecue at wlstheatre@gmail.com. There will also be a Studio Theatre board meeting at 3:30 p.m. which people are invited to attend to see just how much fun it is to be on the board.
“And we love the fact that the Springhouse Crowbirds flew over to start the parade.” In one of its efforts to streamline the parade organization this year, Malmas says the six judges only chose three top winners whose entries best illustrated the theme Be a Gift to the World: A Tribute to Volunteers. “We thank everyone for participating.”
The Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H Club won the second place theme prize of $250 in the parade Saturday. Rules were changed this year and the six judges chose only three top theme winners and two close thirds for honourable mention.
The Thompson Rivers University float, pictured here with volunteers Ella, 9, and Lane, 7, Carson won the third place $100 prize in the parade. Volunteers made presents and cards thanking individuals and group volunteers for their help.

gram says, “We know that parents are baby’s first teachers and instilling the love of reading in our children can only benefit all of us. In today’s world, being able to read well is essential….starting early is critical.” Here’s a selection of comments the CCPL has received about the program. “We love all the books we’ve received—our older son is especially excited to help read to his baby brother from the baby’s own special new books.” “Not every family can afford to purchase books for themselves.” “This is our second child who has received your products. Thanks again for an enjoyable service.” “Baby really does settle down well when she is read to. The illustrations in the row-
ing book especially captivate her.” More than 500 bags are now being distributed every year by the maternity nurses at Interior Health both in Williams Lake and 100 Mile. “The former involvement of the Welcome Wagon in the distribution of the bags both in the community and in the hospital must also be acknowledged and we thank them,” says Mack.

This year marks the 89th presentation of the Williams Lake Stampede. Some of you will no doubt be familiar with its history, but I thought it might be interesting to have a look at its very early days. As far as I cantell, the very first Stampede was staged in July of 1919, not as a rodeo, but as a wild west-type show — part of a big get together for the locals, the ranching community and the railway construction crews. As an aside, if the first Stampede was held in 1919, and this year is 2015, then why aren’t we celebrating the 96th annual show? The answer to that question is that during the Second World War, for seven years from 1940 through 1946, the Stampede was suspended. Many of the cowboys who would have been contestants were serving in the armed forces and the economy of the local

area was focused on the war effort. It was felt that to continue to have the Stampede during the war years would be unpatriotic. But back to the beginning. That first wild west show in 1919 was put together by a local cowboy by the name of Jo Fleiger. It consisted mostly of saddle bronc, bareback and steer riding, along with a wild horse race. The whole show took about two-and-a-half hours, and it was held in the natural bowl on Borland’s ranch, right where it is still held today. The cowboys were local amateurs, and were paid a few dollars for their participation, money that was soon spent in the local saloon. By all accounts, everyone had a great day, and the event was so much fun that a committee was formed to plan for a bigger and better one the following year. Fleiger was an interesting character. He was born in 1901 in Chatham, N.B., and throughout his youth he dreamed of being a cowboy in the “wild west.” He left home when he was 16, working his way out to B.C. He got a job as a construction worker on the PGE railway, and 1918 found him working in the Lone Butte area. An opportunity came along for him to hire on as a cowboy at a nearby ranch and Fleiger jumped at the chance, even

though he had no ranch hand skills or experience. Later, he was quoted as saying: “Becoming a cowboy was like trying to join a society of magicians where everybody jealously guards their own secrets. I had to steal the trade — sneak a peek at the other guys and figure out how it was done.” He must have succeeded, because he became quite well known locally, especially for his riding skills. By 1920, Williams Lake had started to become a boom town — the gateway to the second Cariboo Gold Rush. A number of merchants, along with some

ranchers in the area, decided to celebrate the formation of the new town and its potential as the hub of the Cariboo by building on the previous year’s show. The committee included Herb Spencer, Antoine Boitano, Fleiger, Jimmy Smith (brand inspector) Leonard Palmantier and Harry Wright (127 Mile Ranch), among others. A day-long “Cariboo Stampede” was planned. There was no fenced arena area, just a couple of makeshift corrals to hold the stock. The contestants were area cowboys who were eager to show off their skills, mainly for bragging rights, since the prize money was quite paltry. The rodeo events consisted of the “three ‘Rs’ of the Cariboo:” riding, roping and racing, and the whole day was topped off by a night of dancing in the nearby Borland House. It was another smashing success. In fact, it was such a success that in 1921 the committee decided to do it again, only this time it was a three-day event. Ranchers, cowboys, First Nations people, townsfolk and an assortment of rather shady characters came from far and wide. The town had no liquor store at the time
and the saloons could barely keep up with the demand, making the celebration a great opportunity for bootleggers. The number of prostitutes in the village was said to have tripled, as well. The early Stampedes involved not only the cowboys — events were held for the whole community. There were pony races, ladies’ races, boys’ calf roping and bulldogging, a three-horse relay race, a pack horse race, heavy draft team horse competitions, a chariot race featuring homemade chariots, races where a person was pulled on a cowhide behind a horse, trick riding, mock stagecoach hold ups, reenactments of attacks on a HBC fort, a Roman race, wild horse races, exhibitions of roping, fancy riding, sharpshooting and more.

Fleiger biggest promoter of Stampede Continued From Page A17
The First Nations people were heavily represented, as well, both as contestants and spectators. They travelled for weeks from as far away as Nemiah Valley, the Chilcotin, Canim Lake, Cache Creek and Dog Creek, often on horseback or by horse-drawn wagon. They camped out on the side hills overlooking the Stampede Grounds. It was a colourful sight, especially in the evenings with all the tents set up, the campfires burning, the horses hobbled and grazing, kids and dogs running around and games of chance in progress. By 1923, Fleiger was one of the biggest promoters of the Stampede.
That year he was the arena director (a job he held for the next four years), the announcer and, as well, he won the first mountain race. This was probably not too surprising, since he had also laid out the course. In ensuing years this event would prove to be one of the biggest attractions of the Stampede, and thousands of dollars were bet on the outcome. Fleiger won it in 1923, 1924 and 1926. He also developed a trick riding act featuring him standing up in the saddle while holding a bottle of beer. He’d start his horse, Grey Eagle, down the track, whoop and holler, chug down the beer and lurch this way and that, seemingly out of control. Then he would
“accidentally” rip off the horse’s bridle, all at a full gallop past the crowd of spectators. He called it “the Drunken Ride,” and the crowd loved it. In the winter of 1927, Grey Eagle died, and Fleiger went into a real depression. He eventually decided to leave the Cariboo. He stayed on long enough to honour his commitments, then early in 1928 he left for New York City of all places. It seems, however, that the west was in his blood, and in April of that year, he hired on as a bronc rider with California Frank’s Wild West Show, based in Paterson, New Jersey. Fleiger remained in the U.S. for the rest of
his day,s chalking up a full lifetime of real adventures. He was 97 years old when he died in 1998, and like the Stampede that he helped begin, he had a colourful and eventful history. My thanks to Irene Stangoe, Liz Twan and G.H. Huckle for much of the information in this article.

Love of horses a lifelong passion for Wilfred Anderson Monica Lamb-Yorski Smart 55
Wilfred Anderson, 75, loves horses and
always has. He grew up on a cattle ranch near Rose Lake, or Oak Tree, as it was known in those days.
“I remember going to school in a log school,” he recalled. “It’s still there I think.” One of five children,

Anderson is also the oldest grandson of Chief William. By the age of 12 he was jockeying at the Williams Lake race track, and at the age of 16 left high school in Williams Lake to work as a cowboy at the Douglas Lake Ranch.
“I rode a lot of horses at Douglas Lake Ranch,” he said. “One particular horse was called Cow Country and I used to tell Mike Ferguson he should sell it for a bucking horse.” Ferguson said it couldn’t buck, but when Anderson left they sold

Cow Country for bucking stock and he went on to go to 11 trips to the national finals and became famous, Anderson said. Eventually Anderson left the ranch and went with a friend to work in Alberta. “In Alberta I rodeoed a little bit and logged a little bit.” During the 1960s he purchased a team of horses and skidded for his neighbour. One year he competed at the Williams Lake Stampede as a bull rider. Then he and his friend Gordon McKenzie, a vet, started going to the Anahim Lake Rodeo together. “That’s where I first started saddle bronc riding,” Anderson recalled. “I won the first time I was ever out on a saddle bronc.” He and Ernie Mulvahill "rode off" for a big trophy and drew straws for the top bucking horses. “I’d seen a big horse and saw him pull people over their heads and buck them off,” Anderson said. “I thought he wouldn’t do it to me, I’d just take a long rein on him and ride him.” He was bucked off, but that was OK, he chuckled. “I loved riding bucking horses and bulls and bareback horses, just anything and everything.” He also chased wild horses with Roy
Mulvahill, caught wild horses, was a pick up man and did some calfroping. Anderson always dreamed of owning his own ranch and eventually he purchased Three Bars Cattle Company at Red Stone. “It was 1420 acres. I ran it for about 15 years.” These days he and his wife Betty Anderson, an area director for the Cariboo Regional District, live on the Chilcotin side of the Fraser River. They have a dozen horses with a few newborns on the way. Last week the Andersons participated in the Xeni Gwet’in Wagon trip for the third time, bringing their own team of Black Percherons and wagon. Anderson said he loves the ride. He never had any children of his own but raised foster boys. However, after he married Betty 13 years ago, he became a step dad and grandpa to her two children and four grandchildren. He probably met Betty through church, he mused. “I’m not what you would call a religious guy, but I have a relationship which is like me knowing you,” he explained. As for his health, it’s super he added without hesitation. “It’s like brand new I always say.”

Stampede Racing melts pavement Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The only thing hotter than the weather during the weekend was the action spread over three days at Thunder Mountain Speedway. Friday evening’s hit to pass, king of the hill and smoke show competition, Saturday’s Tri-City Racing Series event and the All Class Invitational Saturday and Sunday had more than 2,000 fans all slammed back in their seats. “It was the first time we’ve ran three days in a row for Stampede in probably 10 years,” said Thunder Mountain Speedway past president and current TriCity Racing Series president Tim Westwick. “It was an amazing weekend. I’ve heard nothing but positive comments.” Friday’s wild hit to pass saw Williams Lake’s Gordon Bettles as the last man, and car, standing. Gordon edged Quesnel’s Terry Braman in second and his father, Brian Bettles, in third to claim the hit to pass title. The Tri-City Racing Series between Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George highlighted Saturday’s racing and didn’t dis-

That’s our biggest race probably in the last 10 years. Last year we had 21 cars so we’re up. “Drivers came from all over B.C. I actually think every track in B.C. had someone. I can’t think of one that wasn’t here.” Following a rocky start with multiple caution flags drivers settled down to put on a phenomenal race. First place and the checkered
flag in the 75-lap main event went to Agassiz’ Bob Kuhn. Second place was Penticton’s Brent Rohner, while third went to Rob Zimmer of Kamloops. “It was super clean, really good racing,” Westwick said. “Very competitive. Some of the most competitive I’ve personally witness in years.” From Williams Lake, the top finisher was Cole Byrd in sixth, while Arnie Kunka and his son, Donny, who both had fast cars and were expected to fair well, were struck with a stroke of bad
luck. “Cole ran a great race. He stayed out of trouble and brought his car home in good shape,” Westwick said. “Both Arnie and Donny had super fast cars, but Arnie ran into some heating issues in the heat race and wasn’t able to run the main. Donny had one of the fastest cars in the main event and was just coming through the pack, but under caution his car overheated and he ended up not finishing. “Thirty-plus degree temperatures take a toll on the things.” In the pro-mini class Allen Roberts took the title, while Brian Bettles claimed the bone stock title. Sunday’s All Class Invitational saw Ryan Wade race to the championship in the street stock division, Sean Constantine take the win in the pro-mini class and Shawn Knott secure the victory in the bone stock division. Westwick thanked the volunteers and sponsors for helping make the three-day extravaganza a success. “Volunteers, TMS president Bob Lowen, the fans, the drivers — thanks to you it was an amazing weekend,” he said.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer You won’t find many credentials not on Allan Matthews’ hockey resume. The former lakecity resident of 31 years, past chair of Hockey Canada, past Hockey Canada representative on the Canadian Olympic Committee and current treasurer of Hockey Canada, received the Diamond Stick Award June 13 at the BC Hockey AGM and Awards night at Sun Peaks Resort. The Diamond Stick Award honours an individual who has provided outstanding service to the game of hockey for 10 or more years. “It was a complete surprise,” Matthews told the Tribune. “I was there at the AGM, they’d rolled out a new governance structure and nobody said a thing. Then, all of a sudden a video came up. It was very humbling to be with some of the other people who’ve got that.” Matthews’ career in
Allan Matthews the hockey executive world began in 1976 when he was elected as a Junior B director with the BC Hockey Executive Committee. Over the next 40 years, things snowballed from there, eventually serving as the chairman of the board for Hockey Canada from 2003 to 2005. In 2008 he was inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame. The irony, he said, is he never played the game growing up, however, that hasn’t stopped his passion for growing the sport pro-
vincially and nationally. “Growing up the arena in Kimberly where I was from had burned down,” he said. “I couldn’t skate, let’s put it that way. I got involved primarily when I went back to Kimberly for four years.” In Williams Lake, Matthews worked as a school teacher at what was then Columneetza Secondary School. He also worked with the Williams Lake Recreation Commission and at the Cariboo-Chilcotin Teacher-Librarians’ Association. Matthews, currently

a resident of Victoria, said he thinks fondly of his days living in Williams Lake and working with the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association executive. “From a hockey perspective I’m proud of the work we went through to try to get the arena built that’s there now,” he said. “And, to get a concrete surface in the second rink. “I worked with a lot of good people there, and I also enjoyed my time working the scorekeepers box.” He noted the news of a possible Junior B hockey club coming to Williams Lake floating around the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League is encouraging news for the lakecity. “I wish them luck,” he said of the committee behind the Williams Lake junior B movement. “It’s always nice when you can keep your players at home instead of sending them away. People have been supportive of junior hockey in the past, and I think people would be supportive now.”

Blue Fins dole out awards, dominate at ‘AA’ provincials Following an awards ceremony last week recognizing the outstanding achievements of Williams Lake Blue Fins swimmers, athletes were back in the water during the weekend at the B.C. Long Course ‘AA’ Championships. Cole Turner, Landon Christensen and Gracie Frost divvied up nine medals at the meet, held over three days at Kamloops’ Tournament Capital Centre. “Cole and Landon dominated the 12- to 13-year-old events winning two events each,” said Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb. “The boys won every 13- and 14-year-old individual event for the evening and even took gold and silver in the 100-metre back together.” Webb said Turner and Christensen are continuing on with their hunt for the ‘AAA’ championships as they posted qualifying times in most of their swims. Frost, 12, also had a good showing battling to sixth in the 100-me-

Day two didn’t see the Blue Fins slowing down as Christensen took more than four seconds off his 100-metre butterfly and beat the competition by more than seven metres to clinch his third gold medal of the weekend. Turner also continued to haul in the medals taking more than six seconds off his 100-metre freestyle and narrowly missed another gold medal by six 100ths of a second. Day three of the event saw the Blue Fins swimming one event each.
“They all made the finals once again,” Webb said. “Landon cruised to a gold medal in the 200 back, with Cole on his heels with another silver. Grace finished her 200 back in another impressive sixth place as she raced girls that were a year older.” The Blue Fins will now travel to the ‘AAA’ provincials this coming weekend in Victoria with Kara Zavitz, Ashley Beauchamp, Taylor Fitzgerald and Cole

SWIMMING VS. RUNNING Are you a fan of swimming? If so, you’re about to become an even bigger one. Studies have shown that Swimming is 4x more effective than running in regards to burning calories (based upon individuals who had just begun doing exercise, as well as individuals who were accustomed to different types of exercise).
Tell us what specific options/extras you may have added to make your truck or car a personal ride.
The water acts as a resistance, so your whole body has to push and pull to get you through the water. If your goal is to burn lots of calories during a workout, swimming for a half-hour is a great way to do it, and will exercise the entirety of your body.

Williams Lake has not one, but two queens of rodeo. While Cheyleigh Sand was accepting her crown as the Williams Lake Stampede Queen June 13, Melanie Wintjes was busy at the Kamloops Exhibition Association grounds June 12-14 at the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals (BCHSRF) becoming the B.C. High School Rodeo Queen. “I’m so excited,” Wintjes said. “I really want to do the best I can. I’m so dedicated to this and focused on everything I have coming up.” Wintjes will be com-
peting for the title of the National High School Finals Rodeo Queen July 10-18 in Rock Springs, Wyoming, then travelling to Nanton, Alta., to represent the sport of rodeo July 23-25 at the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals. At the BCHSRF queen contestants were judged based on a two minute speech, modelling, personality and appearance, and an impromptu question and answer, followed by a written exam and personal interviews. During the NHSFR Wintjes will compete against six other contestants consisting of winners from across the U.S., five Canadian
provinces and Australia. The NHSFR will feature more than 1,500 contestants. “I’m there to help and promote B.C.,” Wintjes said. Throughout the year Wintjes, who will enter her Grade 12 year this September at Lake City Secondary School, will represent the sport alongside the BCHSR Princess, Courtney May of Abbotsford. The Saturday championship performance at the NHSFR will be televised nationally as part of the Cinch High School Rodeo Tour telecast series on the U.S. channel, RFD-TV. Live broadcasts will also air online at NHSRATV. com.

Flaherty, Mann, win Two Ladies Classic
WHEN IT COMES TO REPLACEMENTS, SPEEDYGLASS IS IRREPLACEABLE.
Kelly Flaherty and Harj Mann combined to fire a combined 171 over two days June 20-21 to win the Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club’s Two Ladies Classic. Seventy-four golfers took to the links, including players from Prince George, Quesnel, 108 Mile, Kamloops, Chase
and Kelowna, to play in the four-format tournament. On day one the front nine consisted of a team best net, while the back nine saw golfers play Chapman rules (both players tee off, then hit the other player’s ball, followed by shooting the best shot after that, alternately,
until the ball is holed). Day two saw players play a front-nine scramble format, while the back nine was a combined net score. Second place in the tournament went to Karen Hill and Shelley Breckenridge — closely behind Flaherty and Mann — shooting a combined
171.5. “Our club captain Lisa Kerley and the other 11 members of our ladies executive worked hard to put on the best possible tournament we could,” said one of the organizers, Hazel Anderson. “With the help of a lot of volunteers we had a great weekend.”
