An air tanker with the Wildfire Management Branch comes in for another load of fire-suppressing retardant at the Cariboo Fire Centre’s base at Puntzi Lake Wednesday evening. To date, 50 homes have been evacuated and many more are on standby as the aggressive fire grew to more than 1,000 hectares in just 12 hours. See more on Pages A2 and A3.

We were hoping for sooner.” Since the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach, approximately 75 union workers have remained employed at the site, French added, noting more workers will be called back once various permits are approved. “We are hopeful everything will proceed on track,” he said. Imperial Metals called the restart an important milestone and the first step toward normalcy. “It’s important for Mount Polley

Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett said the permit is a conditional restrictive restart of operations and the first of three conditional steps the company will go through.

With the restart, the mine cannot use the tailings storage facility that breached, but will use the Springer Pit, which the permit stipulates must remain 20 metres below the top of the lowest pit edge. “We are estimating the Springer Pit will be full sometime this fall,” Bennett said. Government has also ordered the company pay an additional $6.1 million reclamation security.

Monica Lamb-Yorski and Angie Mindus Staff Writers Everyone’s worst fears were realized Wednesday afternoon when an aggressive wildfire erupted near the community of Puntzi Lake, downing power lines and threatening many homes in the area. Approximately 50 properties have been affected by an evacuation order so far, issued by the Cariboo Regional District Wednesday afternoon. Many more properties are on evacuation
alert as the fire exhibited aggressive behaviour, growing in size to an estimated 1,000 hectares in less than 24 hours. Four air tankers, two bird dogs and two helicopters were immediately dispatched to the scene to try and knock down the blaze in the early stages, however, heavy smoke overnight made work difficult, and a forecast for wind more worrisome, said Emily Epp, Cariboo Fire Centre information officer. By 9:30 a.m. Thursday, the smoke cleared enough for two am-

CRD Emergency Operations Centre activated Elderly man brutally attacked Continued From Page A2
Angie Mindus Staff Writer A 70-year-old Williams Lake man is recovering in hospital from what appears to be a violent, unprovoked attack in the city last night, say police. Staff Sgt. Del Byron is calling the incident “brutal” and “alarming.” Early reports from a witness indicated the victim was at the three-way intersection of Broadway Avenue and Highway 97 near the Husky Gas Station at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night when the attack occurred. The witness told police they heard a passing motorist stop, yell at the elderly man, then violently beat him about the head and face. The man was left on the side of the road bleeding profusely as the suspect sped off northbound on Highway 97, said Byron. A passing motorist stopped to render assistance and call police. The suspect is described as a Caucasian
man who “looked like a skateboarder type,” driving a small hatchback car. The only information the victim was able to tell police at the time was that he remembers being yelled at then he was knocked down and kicked in the face. “This report is extremely alarming to us, and we are committed to putting all necessary resources into finding the person or persons responsible,” said Byron. “Although this attack appears to be random in nature, I can also confirm at this time that it appears to be an isolated occurrence and the public is not at risk.” The Williams Lake RCMP are reaching out to the public in order to obtain more evidence regarding this brutal assault. If anyone was near this intersection prior to the time of the report, or may have seen the suspect vehicle fleeing the scene, please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211 or call Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477 (tips).
Meanwhile, crews, along with one helicopter and four pieces of equipment, have expanded the attack on the Bald Mountain fire in Farwell Canyon, also discovered Wednesday. “No structures are threatened and we are working to bring in extra resources,” Epp said. As a result of the Puntzi Lake fire the CRD activated its Emergency Operations Centre Wednesday at the board office in Williams Lake. At the centre Wednesday evening, EOC director Rowena Bastien reminded residents of the Cariboo Regional District, including residents of 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Wells, to sign up for the CaribooChilcotin Emergency Notification System to receive alerts about

Now, doses of 2000 IU to 4000 IU are being recommended and some sources say as much as 8000 IU is the answer. The right answer is probably in the 2000 IU range.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Martin Gentles will not serve jail time. That was the decision given by Justice John D. Truscott in Williams Lake Supreme Court Wednesday. Instead Gentles, 30, received an eight-month conditional sentence, one year probation, a oneyear driving suspension and a $1,500 fine. The sentence was given to Gentles for having care and control of a vehicle with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit and for failing to stop and render assistance after his vehicle struck and killed Rayel MacDonald and seriously injured Alysha Mullet while the two friends were crossing
Those who were victimized like Ms. MacDonald and Ms. Mullett and their families may cry out for a lengthy sentence while Mr. Gentles calls for mercy.” - Justice John D. Truscott Carson Drive on April 22, 2012 after attending the Rodeo Dance. While Truscott told Gentles he considered the hit and run a “serious offence” he also said the decision whether or not to give Gentles jail time
was “a close call.” “Those who were victimized like Ms. MacDonald and Ms. Mullett and their families may cry out for a lengthy sentence while Mr. Gentles calls for mercy,” Truscott said.

Truscott reiterated before his decision that he found Gentles not guilty of dangerous driving causing death and that the purposes of sentencing is deterance and rehabiliation, and cannot be one of vengence. “(The sentence) can be one of retribution emphasizing his moral culpability, tempered by the fact he is still a young man with a family to support and his rehabilitation should be assisted,” Truscott said. “If I were to sentence him to a period of incarceration, it would only be for a range of four to six months and during this period he would probably lose his job again. What would be accomplished by exposing him to the wonderful world of prison and the bad examples that reside there?” In giving Gentles the
conditional sentence, which is to be served like a house arrest with courtordered conditions that would allow Gentles to only leave his home in Lac La Hache for work and medical appointments, Truscott urged Gentles to adhere to the sentence or he could find himself in prison and told him he had better stay on the straight and narrow. “It’s time for you to take on the responsibilities of being a father to a son and raising him properly.” Truscott also accepted Gentles’ remorse, he said. Aggrevating factors for sentencing included Gentle’s previous driving record of speeding and 24-hour suspensions. Since MacDonald’s death Gentles was also convicted on restricted firearms charges and drug trafficking.

Williams Lake
Family baffled by judge’s sentence in Gentles case Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Shock and disbelief. Those are words Andrea MacDonald used to describe her family’s reaction to the sentence Martin Gentles received in the case involving the death of her 20-year-old daughter Rayel three years ago. “What this judge has done is basically to say while you are impaired you really can’t be held responsible for anything you do,” she said minutes after Gentles was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court in Williams Lake Wednesday. “I think it has put drinking driving laws back 50 years.” Gentles, 30, was found guilty of driving while over the legal blood alcohol limit and fleeing the scene of an accident and not rendering assistance after the vehicle he was driving struck and killed Rayel and seriously injured Alysha Mullett as the two friends walked across Carson Drive on April 22, 2012 after attending the Rodeo Dance. Crown counsellor Julie Dufour asked for a three- to three-anda-half-year sentence, a one-year prohibition from driving and a secondary DNA test
Rayel MacDonald order. Defence lawyer Ken Walker asked for a conditional sentence to be served in the community, and higher than normal fines, noting Gentles is the sole supporter of his family. Gentles received an eight-month conditional sentence, one-year probation, a one-year driving prohibition and a $1,500 fine. “Our beautiful daughter’s life has not been valued by this judge,” she said. “We feel re-victimized ... I don’t feel very proud to be Canadian right now.” Before the sentencing MacDonald and her daughter, Rilla-Lee, gave emotional victim impact statements describing the pain of their loss. “My husband Dave and I are living a nightmare,” MacDonald told the court. “Our family died along with Rayel. Our hearts are

“Above all else I know what I did was wrong. It is not the person I want to become, nor is it the kind of example I want to set for my son.” Gentles recounted a troubled upbringing, coming from a bad childhood environment. “It has been a constant struggle,” he said. “My mother passed away when I was almost 20 years old, leaving me essentially homeless,
Gentles’ statement was read, Andrea said her struggle every day has been made worse by the realization there has been no apology and no sadness expressed by Gentles. “I’ve been saddened by the lack of character the accused has shown toward us and toward Rayel. Someone who is of honour would have never put our family through this,” she said. Rayel’s death was completely senseless, she added. “Why didn’t anyone stop them from driving that night? Their friends, anyone at the bar that night, had the power to change the outcome. If they had stopped the accused and his passenger, our beautiful daughter Rayel would still be here on this earth doing what she did the best, loving and giving to others.”

Real journalism matters The best kind of newspaper, we think, is the one that’s sitting on your table. The one that’s been thumbed through, with a classified ad circled, a coupon clipped out, and a ring of dried coffee where you laid down your mug. It’s self-serving to ask you to read the newspaper, but we hope that you do, and we hope that you value professional journalism, whether in your community newspaper or across the media spectrum. The Tribune/Weekend Advisor and Black Press are participating in the Journalism Is campaign, launched nationwide last month. Newspapers, media companies, unions and journalism schools are among the partners in the project. The intent is to try to mobilize media consumers around the importance of professional journalism. Media is changing, rapidly and inexorably. Social media presents us with news and views, in 140 characters or fewer, all day, every day. There are infinite scraps of information and misinformation at our fingertips.
And that’s why we think professional journalism is more important than ever. Reporters seek the facts and the truth and when we tell stories, we try to tell the whole story. We try to tell it fairly and accurately. We wish to protect the public interest and demand accountability – comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, as the saying goes. The Tribune/Weekend Advisor, Black Press, and media across the country employ journalists who are committed to all these ideals. We have drive and desire and we will take the initiative and the responsibility to tell the stories that matter to communities – your stories, our stories. To us, that’s what journalism is. To media consumers, all we would ask is that you continue to read with a critical and discerning eye, write letters to the editor, engage, think. Thumb through the paper. Circle classified ads, clip coupons, spill a little coffee, but most of all, read.

Outlook cloudy for federal climate policies Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits. Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding. The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business. The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where
effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to im-
pose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.
Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its neardeath experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbonsaving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Is using forest land for primary bioenergy production a wise choice? Most people would agree that using residual wood for bioenergy is a good choice but what if green fibre is grown on forest land with the primary purpose of converting it to some form of energy (pellets, syngas or electricity)? In Ben Parfitt’s 2010 paper on bioenergy he has a section on “Wood as energy: Promises and Pitfalls,” which reviews the various options. With the pine beetle epidemic in B.C., it was perhaps inevitable that the province would seize upon bioenergy as key to revitalizing its forest industry. The mountain pine beetle epidemic was one of the main reasons for the government to initiate the “Call for Power” by BC Hydro in which the Crown Corporation sought expressions
Forest Ink Jim Hilton of interest from private power producers interested in utilizing wood or biomass as a new energy source. The first four projects approved did not require companies to log more trees, but rather to use wood waste that already existed at sawmill and pulp and paper facilities or that could be retrieved from wood left behind at logging sites. Three of the four projects involved existing pulp and paper facilities, participants in an in-
dustry that is both a major power user and power generator. In total, BC Hydro said, the four projects combined would generate 579 gigawatt hours of new electricity annually, enough to power more than 52,000 homes. In March 2009, BC Hydro announced its second Call for Power. The call again focused on wood as an energy source. Only this time, the wood could come from new forest tenures the province made available for the express purpose of converting “wood waste” to power. This made the second call significantly more controversial. It implied that logging might occur directly in support of energy production. This marked a radical departure from the norm, wherein the
“fallout” or by-product from sawmills — wood chips and sawdust — became the feedstock for the pulp and paper industry, wood pellet producers, wood boilers, and the occasional wood-fired electrical generating facility. It raised the alarm of the province’s pulp and paper industry, which worried about increased competition for finite wood supplies. Environmental groups also expressed concern. Would bioenergy producers start logging healthy, green forests to meet their needs? Finally, First Nations expressed strong reservations about the call and its potential to further alienate lands and resources to which they laid claim. For the time being, the Ministry of Forests seems to be heeding those concerns.
Aware that the beetle-killed trees it promotes as a raw material source for the bioenergy industry are finite, the ministry is only offering time-limited rights of access to the dead trees? There are many who question the practicality and expense of burning wood to make electricity especially in large expensive facilities that require fibre guarantees. At far less cost, more flexible clean burning technologies are available to burn wood for home and business heating purposes and are increasingly common in local retail stores. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Keisha Cooper, 10, tries on her new lifejacket with Sam Ketcham Pool aquatic staff member Taylor Roorda. Keisha Cooper, 10, participated in National Lifejacket Day activities at the pool in May and won the draw for a new lifejacket. This past May 14, the Canadian Red Cross marked National Lifejacket Day, an annual campaign to encourage and promote the use of lifejackets and personal floatation devices (PFDs) among boaters. This year the Sam Ketcham Pool offered several activities at the pool, including “wear your life jacket events.” This year those in attendance had the opportunity to participate in quizzes, water safe activities with their lifejackets and enter a draw for a free lifejacket. The winner of the lifejacket this year was Keisha.
Red Cross urges lifejacket use For many Canadians, the summer season means enjoying outdoor activities such as fishing, powerboating or canoeing. But each year, tragic and avoidable boating-related fatalities occur across Canada. A study of the long-term trends indicates that the use of proper safety equipment such as a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD) would greatly reduce this number. Every year, 161 Canadians drown while boating. Of these, 88 per cent are not wearing a lifejacket or do not have it properly secured. Before heading out on a boat this summer, ensure
that all persons on board even strong swimmers - are outfitted with a correctly sized lifejacket appropriate to the activity. Be aware of and monitor the weather and water conditions, be prepared to head to the nearest point of safety if the conditions change, never consume alcohol before or during a boating outing, and ensure boaters know how to safely operate and load the vessel. A Canadian Red Cross report examining these fatalities over 16 years revealed many common factors: • Only 12 per cent of im-
mersion fatalities were reported to be correctly wearing a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD). • Of all recreational boating immersion deaths during this period, 93 per cent were male. • Men between 15 and 54 years old accounted for the majority of fatalities. • Alcohol was a factor for nearly half of these. • 64 per cent of the immersion deaths resulted from a capsized vessel or a fall overboard with environmental conditions such as the weather, wind and waves as significant contributing factors.
Cariboo Kennel Club is hosting a Sanction Match (fun dog show) Sunday July 12, from 9am-2pm at the Stampeded baseball diamond. Obedience begins at 9:00. Conformation begins at noon.

Arts on the Fly goes this weekend in Horsefly The community of Horsefly will come alive this weekend with the sound of music for the 10th annual Arts on the Fly Music Festival. By all accounts, this year’s event promises to be a great show with the talents of local entertainers and out-of-town poised to take the stage July 10 and 11. The opening ceremonies will kick off the festival Friday evening on the Main Stage at 6:30 p.m. Then, local singer Bernadette Ducharme will perform first at 6:45 p.m., followed by Sam Tudor at 7:45 p.m. At 8:45 p.m. Friday night Red Haven will take the stage, followed by Little Horsefly Country Band at 9:45 p.m. Miss Quincy and the Showdown are scheduled to perform
Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Jason and Pharis Romero will perform as part of the Arts on the Fly Music Festival in Horsefly this Friday and Saturday. at 10:45 p.m. and wrapping up the evening will be a midnight performance by Entengados. On Saturday the entertainment will get underway at noon and run non-stop until after midnight on the Main Stage. Saturday evening performances will include the likes of Drum and Bell Tow-
er, Pharis and Jason Romero, Bottoms up Baring Burlesque, Fans and Motor Supply Co., Dawn Pemberton, and Wooden Horsemen. There are also many other entertainers throughout the day on all three stages. For the first time in festival history, the entire camping area on the 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. As well as entertainment, there will also be workshops held throughout the event and many vendors on-site. Tickets for the event are available at the Bean Counter in Williams Lake and at Clark’s General Store in Horsefly.

Windsor Plywood agreed to collect funds on behalf of the campaign. While a five-gallon pail of the paint is $150, any amount will help, Fadenrecht added. The red paint being used is a self-priming
urethane that can be repainted if necessary. In the past, WLTRA paid to have graffiti chemically removed from the galvanized steel roof, but it was very expensive. One side of the roof has been completed,
while the painters wait for cooler temperatures to do the other side. WLTRA also wants to see the lower sheds painted. “Several businesses have donated, It’s been a huge community effort,” Fadenrecht added.

Proper Alignment “Bubba, does prayer really work?” Well the answer to that question really depends on what you intend to see accomplished when you pray. If we come to God believing that he is a benevolent cosmic slot machine and that prayer is the lever that gets the wheels spinning to hopefully land on the answer to our desires, then NO, prayer does not work. The purpose of prayer is not to try and convince God to align with our view of the world; it is to allow us to align with God’s intent in the world. Alvin VanderGrien says it this way, “Praying in faith is not an inner conviction that God will act according to our desires if only we believe hard enough. It involves believing that God will always respond to our prayers in accord with his nature, his purposes, and his promises.” Prayer is not an exercise to change God; prayer is more to change us. Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where our pride is abandoned, our hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting
else has failed...pray.” At this point is it really meaningful prayer, or a magic incantation that we hope changes the world to become formed to our will? Make no mistake; this is witchcraft, not prayer. For those of us who are too often guilty of this, we need to bow our knees, confess our sin, receive God’s forgiveness, and beg that the will of the Lord be done above our own. God is sovereign and loving and He knows what is best for us and PARSONS PEN others, even if it doesn’t always BY REVEREND BUBBA seem to make the most sense.

Salute to PARAMEDICS
A14 www.wltribune.com
Friday, July 10, 2015 Tribune Weekend Advisor
THANK YOU TO OUR FIRST RESPONDERS
Angie Mindus/Tribune file photo
No matter what the conditions, our paramedics can always be counted on to respond to calls for assistance. Here, local paramedics respond to an accident on Highway 97 during one of the first snowfalls of last winter in the lakecity.
Saluting our everyday heroes: paramedics Editor: Paramedics are first responders in a crisis, the first line of defence in emergencies and on the front-line of community care. In emergency situations, every second counts. They are highly trained and skilled at providing emergency care, and play important roles in the com-
munity, particularly in rural or remote areas. This year’s theme during paramedic’s week was expanding care, and B.C. is invested in ensuring that paramedics have the ability to fully engage with the community and use all of their skills. That’s why we have begun Phase One of the Community Paramedi-
cine program, being rolled out in three rural communities in Northern Health — Chetwynd, Fort St. James and Hazelton. “Finding comprehensive ways to use their skills will allow for better health-care options - and better career opportunities for paramedics themselves. In an expanded role, paramedics could even-
tually help with tasks at primary- and community-health centres. For example, Nova Scotia now uses paramedics in some of its small emergency departments, leading to fewer overnight closures and allowing emergency departments to remain in smaller communities. “Innovative use of paramedics could allow us to use our health-

care funding dollars in more efficient ways, doing more with the dollars we have. Government, B.C. Emergency Health Services and the paramedic union have committed to working together on the next steps to introducing community paramedicine throughout B.C. This includes the creation of at least 80 new full-time equivalent
positions to support the implementation of community paramedicine programs over the next four years. “During this week, we thank and appreciate the hard work of paramedics, and we are proud to move toward the realization of community paramedicine.” Terry Lake Minister of Health

Barnett grateful for paramedics’ service In smaller centres such as Williams Lake, our first responders are the heart of our community and nobody knows that more than Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “Paramedics respond to the call for help as quick as possible and are especially vital in small and rural communities,” said Barnett. “They are the lifeline for many people who don’t live in close proximity to medical care and every day paramedics get in their ambulance whether it’s a heart attack or a car accident and they help save lives.”
There are nearly 4,000 part-time and full-time paramedics working for BC Ambulance, the largest Emergency Medial Services provider in Canada with a fleet of more than 480 ground ambulances and operating 187 stations across the province. In areas like the Cariboo-Chilcotin, EMS are especially vital as much of the population live in rural outlying areas requiring inter-facility patient transfer services in circumstances where a patient needs to be moved between health care facilities for treatment. “For many of our
paramedics that live in small communities they often know the people they are trying to save which can be both very rewarding but also extremely devastating,” said Barnett. “These people are professional and compassionate and they all deserve to know how grateful and appreciative we are of their efforts.” In recent years those stresses have been brought to the surface with many reports of our paramedics suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Studies have shown first responders includ-
ing police, firefighters and paramedics face high PTSD risks and an estimated 10 per cent of emergency responders suffer from it. It can lead to depression, substance abuse, divorce, inability to work and suicide in the most extreme outcomes. In Canada, there is a growing movement to treat PTSD in emergency responders. In B.C. and Alberta worker compensation laws have been amended to make PTSD a presumptive condition, meaning it is directly linked to their job making it easier to qualify for compensation and treatment.

Fraser sockeye salmon in hot water Fraser River fishing may be severely curtailed
Colleen Flanagan/Black Press photo
Gillnetters on the Fraser River haul in sockeye salmon last summer. Fewer sockeye are projected to return this year and there are growing fears that poor river conditions will hamper the survival rate of the ones that do.
Jeff Nagel Black Press Dangerously hot water temperatures in the Fraser River, combined with low river flows and unusually warm ocean conditions are conspiring to create a dire outlook for returning sockeye salmon. And that could mean no fishing at all for the roughly 6.8 million sockeye projected to be on their way back to the Fraser to spawn — easily enough for what should have been a decent season. “What’s going on now is not good and I
don’t anticipate it being good in August,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission. “But it’s just a matter of waiting to see where the indicators are at that time and making the decisions based on the evidence we have. I think the observed data is going to be pretty extreme.” He said it’s “certainly possible” that sockeye fisheries will be severely curtailed or even cancelled altogether because a large proportion of the run may not survive to reach the spawning grounds.
A record low snowpack in the mountains this year has meant what little snow was in the alpine has melted off sooner than usual, leaving less to keep stream and river levels up and their temperatures down later in the summer. Fraser River temperatures at Hope have already gone over 19 degrees in recent days, Lapointe said, when the norm at this time of year is less than 15 degrees. “It’s extremely warm,” he said, adding the lower water flows compound the problem.
“It’s like a bathtub. If you don’t have a lot of water in it, it’s really sensitive to the temperatures around.” High temperatures of 19 or 20 and higher can be deadly for salmon, which face more stress in their migration upriver to spawn, and they may also be more susceptible to disease. “As soon as they start to reach these temperatures they’re just not as efficient at migrating,” Lapointe said. “It becomes harder for the fish to do the work they need to do.” The Pacific Ocean hasn’t been kind to these returning sockeye either. Northeast ocean waters up to the Gulf of Alaska have been unusually warm from late 2013 through 2014 — the entire time the now-returning sockeye have been at sea. Warm ocean water can deplete plankton food supplies and sometimes results in many juvenile salmon being devoured by predator fish like mackerel coming up from much farther south. Lapointe said he’s heard reports of smaller salmon body sizes in Alaska, but there’s no

confirmation yet it will be the same story for Fraser sockeye. The warm ocean temperatures could impact not just this year’s runs, but the next couple of years as well, he said. Lapointe is also concerned the warm river temperatures are becoming a trend. “Fraser summer temperatures have been getting warmer over time, not inconsistent with the sort of predictions you
would get from climate change models.” He said different individual sockeye stocks may perform better than others in warmer conditions, depending on their past exposure. More fishing may be possible for less desirable pink salmon, which return later in the summer. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Aaron Hill fears the river conditions will only dete-

riorate. “The low water and high temperatures are combining to create lethal water conditions for salmon,” Hill said. “Unless we get some rain it’s just going to get worse and worse through the summer.” He’s urging fishery managers not to authorize aggressive fisheries this year in order to put as many sockeye on the spawning grounds as possibler to ensure conservation of weak stocks.

Williams Lake rugby player Emma Feldinger carries the ball while her Lake City secondary teammates and Thompson Okanagan teammates Carrie Lange and Ayme Desmond look on during the Provincial Regional Championships (PRCs) at Burnaby Lake June 27-28.
Rugby players return from regional championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Joining the best high school rugby players in the province, 17 Lake City secondary rugby players suited up recently at the Provincial Regional Championships held in the Lower Mainland. Tasha Johnson, Emma Pfleiderer, Laura Pfleiderer, Skye Forcier, Carleigh Walters, Emma Feldinger and Ayme Desmond joined the Thompson Okanagan under-18 girls team, while Grade 11s Noah Ryll, Jordan Murphy, Vince Austin, Parker Kennedy and Orrin Watkinson played on the U18 Thompson Okanagan boys side. Nick Warnock and Jesse Wallace-Webb, both Grade 12s, played for the Vancouver Island Crimson Tide at the tournament. On the U16 girls squad Carrie Lange, Kaitlyn Berkelaar, Madison Blusson, Desmond and Feldinger all represented the Thompson Okanagan. For the U18 girls the tournament — held at the University of British Columbia July 4-5 — saw them defeat Vancouver North, West and East, 24-0 to win the bronze medal. Coach Morley Wilson of Williams Lake, who sat at the helm alongside Kamloops’ Andy Vankuyk, said the team — made up of

Lake City secondary rugby players Parker Kennedy (back, third from left), Noah Ryll (back, fourth from left), Jordan Murphy (back, fourth from right), Vince Austin (sixth from right) and Orrin Watkinson (front, third from left) suited up for the Thompson Okanagan side, while Nick Warnock (missing) and Jesse Wallace-Webb (missing) played for Vancouver Island’s Crimson Tide during the Provincial Regional Championships July 4-5 at the University of British Columbia. players from Alexis Creek to Penticton — gelled quickly and played a great tournament. “Our girls (from Williams Lake) were top notch — leaders on that team,” Wilson said. The U18 girls opened the tournament with a 21-3 loss to the Tsunami (North Island), then edged Vancouver South 14-10, before falling to the eventual gold medalists, Fraser Valley, 24-5 to reach the bronzemedal match. Wilson pointed to Laura (team captain), Emma, Johnson, Walters and Feldinger as all having exceptional tournaments. “These girls are highly respected in the rugby com-
munity,” Wilson said. “They’re on scouts’ radars and there’s a future for them there if they want to put in the work.” The U16 girls, meanwhile, finished the tournament — held at Burnaby Lake June 27-28 — in sixth place after losing to Vancouver North, West and East, 20-15 in a competitive tilt in their final game. Williams Lake’s Jason Ryll, who helped coach the U18 Thompson Okanagan boys team, said the team faced some stiff competition but took away loads of experience. The U18 boys fell to the Tsunami, Vancouver South, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island Rugby Union to
place eighth. “Our best game was against Fraser Valley,” Ryll said. “They should’ve beat us and they did but we really pulled together … our defence was exceptional. That was the game we really gelled.” At the tournament both Murphy and Austin were identified as players to watch by the Vancouver Rowers premier division club, Ryll said. “It was a good experience for all our boys,” Ryll said. “It was good to get the boys back playing and we’re looking ahead to next year.” On the national level, to date, Johnson and Anna Bracewell have been an-
nounced as selections for Team BC to play at this summers under-20 national championships. Selections for the under-16 and under-18 provincial teams will be announced in the coming weeks. Next May is also a big year for high school rugby in Williams Lake as Lake City Secondary School will host the 2016 Provincial Rugby Championships in May. “We’re looking for a big season coming up,” Wilson said. In 2015, LCSS finished with bronze medals at both the 15-a-side and seven-aside provincials. “We’re hoping the community will come out and support us.”
The Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association is hosting the Mid Summer Challenge Soccer Tournament geared for teams at the development, silver and gold level of play.

Boxer has sights set on amateur title shot Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Dan Mott is scaling the rankings of the B.C. Combative Sports Association (Combsport). The Quesnel boxer, who fights out of the Williams Lake Boxing Club, is coming off a victory over Vancouver Island’s Mitch DeMone July 4 at Combsport’s Clash at the Cascades, held at the Cascades Casino in Langley. Mott has been travelling to Williams Lake once or twice a week to train in preparation for the 175-pound bout. “I normally fight at 168 (pounds) but didn’t for this one,” the 24-year-old said. “I was kind of shocked at how big he was.” Mott, however, battled to a three-round unanimous decision using speed, some power punching and pressure to his advantage. “I thought I started a bit slow and was trying to feel him out,” he said. “Each round I thought I sped up the pace. (In the third) as soon as it started I went at him.” Big right hands and a solid left hook to the body proved to be too much for DeMone, he said. It was Mott’s first amateur fight since the WLBC switched associations from the B.C. Boxing Association to Combsport — a fledgling organization affiliated with the Canadian Fight Sports Association and the WBC World Amateur Association. “That was my first Combsport win but I’ve had 12 fights overall,” he said. “It felt good. The event was well put together, there was a big crowd. I’m from nowhere near there and the crowd still cheered me so that was awesome.” Mott now has his
sights set on a Combsport title. He’s currently ranked third in
the 175-pound light heavyweight division and fourth in the
168-pound super middleweight division. “Now I really want
one (a title),” he said. “So I’m going to work my ass off trying to get one.” He credited the members of the WLBC and coach Gary McLellan for getting him in fight shape.
“They’ve got an awesome club,” he said. “Gary and his sons — they’ve welcomed me in and I contribute a lot of that to this fight.” The WLBC is running all summer long on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings starting at 6 p.m. and are welcoming new or interested members to drop on by. The WLBC is located in the basement of the Western Wood Heat building at 1515 on Highway 97.

The pieces are moving into position for chess star Kai Richardson, 12, as he prepares to travel to the Championships of French Speaking Countries in Montreal. The internationally rated tournament, being held July 1725, will feature chess players representing 25 countries totalling 170-plus players. Richardson is currently the ninthranked player in Canada and the 451st ranked player in the world for his age group.
Making those stats all the more impressive is the fact that Kai lives off the grid in the Chilcotin with his parents, Scott Richardson and Aki Yamamoto, and doesn’t often get the chance to travel to internationally-rated tournaments. “It is a challenge living in the Interior of B.C.,” said his dad, Scott. “Aki and I support him throughout the year but he is an exceptional players and needs additional support.

To the right are two display cases, ideal for collectibles. Directly ahead, through a squared archway, the great room features a fireplace and sliding doors to the partly-covered sundeck. The dining area is tucked into a niche with large windows that also look out to the sundeck. The kitchen is separated from the dining area and great room by a work island. Natural light will come in through the window above the double sink, and the L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. A

Obituaries
Palmantier,George The family of George Palmantier regret to announce that he passed away on July 5, 2015. George leaves behind his wife and best friend Brenda Mears; his children: Clay (Kami), Cindi (Christoph), Kim (Bernie), Jody (Natasha) and Joel (Sarah); and his grandsons Robert, Mike and Seth. George also leaves behind numerous friends and relatives. As per George’s wishes, no formal service will be held. We would like to thank the staff at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, Lifeflight and Vancouver General Hospital for their valiant efforts to help save George. In particular, we send a special thank you to Dr. Wood, Dr. Gin and the Cardiology team at VGH. Although George was a man of few words, he would tell it like it is and wouldn’t take any s**t. He was a very kind, patient and loving man who always got a chuckle out of life. George lived a full and exciting life, and was a cowboy through and through.
George will be greatly loved and missed. It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Shane Samuel Johnson on June 11, 2015. Shane was born to Kirk and Marilyn Johnson in Williams Lake on November 4, 1973. He attended Glendale Elementary School where his sweet, caring personality and intelligence won over teachers and made him many friends. Shane spent the later part of his childhood with his father and Kluane First Nations family in the Yukon, where he enjoyed learning about the 10,000 year history of his ancestors in Canada. In 2005 he married Rebecca Pfiffner of Switzerland and they had three children, who Shane adored: Jimmy, Kirk and Shelly. Shane loved nature and spent his adulthood surrounded by beautiful mountains, pristine lakes and rivers, and abundant wildlife in the Yukon. He was known as a hard worker who never complained, and he chose jobs in the outdoors, surveying for Underhill Geomatics in Alaska, on a heritage site five hours by skidoo in the bush, on helipads on Vancouver Island, and for the Public Works Department of Kluane First Nations. In his spare time, Shane cut firewood to keep his elders warm and helped teach the children at Kluane Lake School. Shane liked playing poker, Yahtzee and chess and watching documentaries. Recently, Shane obtained a trapper’s licence, and he was planning to attend Vancouver Community College in the fall. Shane is survived by his loving wife and children, mother and father, sister Natalie Halff, brother Jamie Halff, niece Chantal Montgomery, and many relatives and friends in BC, Ontario, the Yukon and Switzerland. His memory will live in our hearts forever.
Marvin Jorund Hansen
July 22, 1934 ~ June 27, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Marvin Jorund Hansen, of Williams Lake B.C., on June 27th, 2015, at the great age of “80” years old; just 3 weeks shy of his 81st birthday! Dad was born to the late Magnus and Hildebjorg Hansen on July 22nd, 1934 in Port Alberni, B.C. He was a proud “Norwegian Canadian” and member of the Sons of Norway. Dad grew up with his parents and 3 siblings in Port Alberni where he met and married his first wife, Joan Gibson, in 1955. They had 4 wonderful children together, who were lovingly raised in several communities in British Columbia. Dad was a dedicated Telecommunications Union Worker (TWU) and started his long career with B.C. Tel, at age 16, in Port Alberni. He was transferred to Fort St. John in 1963, to Abbotsford in 1965 and then settled in Williams Lake in 1971, where he lived the remainder of his life. He enjoyed his service as Shop Steward of the local TWU for many years and also volunteered with the Telephone Pioneers of America. He retired from BC Tel, after 44 years of service at age 60 in 1994. After his marriage to Joan ended, Dad met and married Margaret Zowty, in 1979. Throughout his life, Dad pursued his passions of family, gardening, fishing and hunting, playing sports and coaching. He was an avid outdoorsman and took every opportunity to go fishing and hunting with his friends and family! Dad proudly supported his son, Rick, as he journeyed on the Man in Motion World Tour from 1985 – 1987 and continued to help keep the dream alive by volunteering on the Williams Lake Wheels in Motion committee for years afterwards. Dad is survived by his wife: Margaret Hansen of Williams Lake, B.C.; his sister: Gunhild McKay (Roger) of Oliver, B.C.; his 4 children: Rick Hansen (Amanda) of Richmond, B.C., Brad Hansen (Jeannie) of Williams Lake, B.C., Cindy Moore (Geordie) of Williams Lake, B.C., and Christine Clayton (Ray) of Sechelt, B.C.; his step-daughter: Dawn Aronitz of Surrey, B.C.; his 9 grandchildren: Emma (Aaron) Vandenbrink, Alana Hansen, Rebecca Hansen, Jena (Jeff ) Fraser, Grant Hansen, Alexis Moore, Lauren Moore, Sharli Clayton and Cassidy Clayton; his great grand-daughter: Isabelle Fraser; and all of his nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents: Magnus and Hildebjorg Hansen from Port Alberni, B.C. - originally from Norway. Also, predeceased by his brother: Herman Hansen; his sister: Eileen Hansen; his step-son: Jim Aronitz; and his precious, 1st great grandson: Reid Richard Vandenbrink. Our family would like to extend a very special thank you to Dr. Scrooby and all the compassionate and devoted nurses, care aids and staff at the Williams Lake Seniors Village, who took such good care of our father for almost 6 years! A special acknowledgement goes to our dad’s dear friend, Jack Burgar, who shared many great adventures with him and who was always his loyal friend. Although Dad has left his loving family and friends, he will be forever in our hearts. We will always cherish all the wonderful memories we have of him! A celebration of our father’s life will be announced in the near future and will be a special opportunity for all of us to gather, share our great stories and memories, as we honour him! In lieu of flowers and to honour our father’s legacy, we request that donations be made to the Rick Hansen Foundation. “May you rest in peace, Dad ~ we will love you forever!”
