Alexis Creek RCMP investigate shots fired Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Police are investigating after shots were fired Saturday on the Anaham Reserve. While officers were at Anaham Saturday evening recovering a Polaris ATV stolen from Barney’s Resort at Puntzi Lake, shots were fired in the vicinity, said Cpl. Murray McNeil, acting sergeant at the Alexis Creek RCMP detachment. “There’s nothing to indicate shots were fired at the officer, but he definitely heard the shots,” Mc-
Neil told the Tribune Tuesday. Police returned Sunday to Anaham to further investigate and arrested a person with three outstanding warrants in Williams Lake and transported him to Williams Lake. Police also pursued two persons of interest on an ATV who wouldn’t stop when officers attempted to stop them. “They continued to race around the reserve on the ATV quite dangerously,” McNeil said. An RCMP helicopter from Kamloops, brought in to help search
for two trucks that were stolen last week, was used to assist tracking the two suspects on the ATV. After an hour of pursuit, the suspects stopped the ATV because of what is believed to be mechanical difficulties. They fled on foot, were tracked with the use of a police dog from Williams Lake and arrested without incident. Both suspects were known to police. The driver of the quad was charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from
police. When the dog handler was pursuing the suspects, he found a loaded rifle with ammunition near the abandoned ATV. Police seized the rifle and are investigating, McNeil said. “While we were following the ATV we did not see a rifle so we are just investigating what connection the rifle has with the two individuals on the ATV and also looking at the rifle as a potential lead on the shots fired the previous evening.”

NEWS Owner of Slumber Lodge wants to renovate Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Slumber Lodge’s owner said he plans to appeal a demolition order issued by the city. “I have someone who is willing to move in and try to make a business of it for me,” said the 86-year-old owner, John Carhoun, from his home in Vancouver, noting the motel is well-built and worth fixing up. “We are ready to spend money on it,” he said. “We have a building permit application in to get it back to operation as
soon as possible.” Carhoun said it is better to fix it up than tear it down and have an empty lot. “It’s never going to be a top of the class motel, but it’s a good sound building and wasn’t cheaply built.” Carhoun spent 20 years in Prince George and built motels there and has experience in the business. He purchased the Slumber Lodge in 1996 for his daughters. At the regular council meeting July 21, council voted in favour of the demoli-

Since June 2012 the Slumber Lodge has been boarded up after the city made the request.
Energy plant shares experience with burning rail ties Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As Atlantic Power seeks permission to burn a higher percentage of rail ties in its Williams Lake Power Plant, Tribune reporter Monica Lamb-Yorski (MLY) contacted a power plant in the U.S. During a phone interview plant manager Mark Paitl and air control quality environmental analyst Tina Ball at Excel Energy’s French Island Generating Plant (FIGP) in La Crosse, Wisconsin, a waste fired electrical power station that has been using rail ties as fuel for 20 years, answered her questions. MLY: How long have you been using rail ties for fuel in your plant and to what per cent? FIGP: At least 20 years. We started out with a small per cent
our air permit didn’t specify what percentage we could burn, we just had to record what percentage it was. As our sawmills closed or took their bark to other sources, such as landscape material, I needed another source to replace that such as wood waste or rail ties. We slowly increased our percentage of rail ties to where 50 to 60 per cent of our wood waste total is shredded rail ties. MLY: Are you shredding the rail ties on site? FIGP: No. There is a facility about a half mile away from our plant that the ties come in by truck or rail and are off-loaded. They have a grinder there where they grind them, remove all the metal and then put them in a shed that has a black top base and a cover
[We’ve been using rail ties] at least 20 years. We started out with a small per cent our air permit didn’t specify what percentage we could burn ... We slowly increased our percentage of rail ties to where 50 to 60 per cent of our wood waste total is shredded rail ties” - Mark Paitl, Excel Energy French Island Generating Plant plant manager over it. One of their stipulations is they can store the whole ties on the ground but once they grind them they
have to be stored underneath the storage building. MLY: How close is your plant to residen-
tial areas? FIGP: We are actually right on the Black River in the back waters of the Mississippi
River on the point of French Island. We have residences across the river about a block and a half away and then the residential area starts a block from where the grinder/shredder is located. There’s nothing between that facility and ours. MLY: When you went to burning more rail ties is that something you had to get approval for from the regulators? FIGP: We had to get approval to burn the rail ties and within that approval there was no limit because we’d proven by stack testing that there was no percentage if we wanted to go more or less on that. MLY: What is the standard for emissions? FIGP: The State of Wisconsin standard for burning wood waste only. But we also burn refuse derived fuel. We
take our cross county garbage and turn it into waste and into a fuel. When we burn that fuel we have to follow federal standards. MLY: Are you selfregulating the emissions? FIGP: No we have an outside stack test firm come in and they do annual stack tests on our emissions and then the other pollutants we have are monitored through continuous emissions monitoring, where we have instruments that we have to have an outside firm come in every year to check that they are working. We submit to the agencies a quarterly, semi-annual and annual report of our emissions along with the annual stack test. See PLANT Page A4

Plant uses bag house to contain particulates Continued From Page A3 MLY: What is the volume of rail ties you are burning in a year? FIGP: In the last couple of years we’ve been between 30,000 and 37,000 tons a year. MLY: Do you have any pollution control equipment that is part of the operation? FIGP: We have a bag house we installed in 2000 to catch particulate. MLY: Have you ever had concerns from residents? FIGP: We at the plant have not had concerns but I know they’ve had some over at the grinding facility about dust and odour. They are also regulated with their storm water, plants and also the State of Wisconsin visits them to make sure they are meeting their permits. MLY: Did the increase of rail ties as fuel change the nature of the ash in anyway? FIGP: We sample our ash quarterly and annually and with the increase in railway tie burn we did not see a change at all. MLY: What are the measurements you use

The Excel Energy French Island plant (pictured) has been burning rail ties for 20 years. A similar proposal has been put forward by Atlantic Power in Williams Lake. to test for emissions and the levels they have to be below. FIGP: The main driver is the dioxins and furans so we need to be below 30 mg by standard per cubic metre of air. MLY: Have you seen any change in emissions from burning rail ties to meet that standard? FIGP: No and those limits are waste combustion limits not for burning rail ties but because we burn garbage at the plant as well. MLY: How is garbage used as fuel? FIGP: It’s processed into refuse-derived fuel
(RDF) — a fluffy light burnable fuel. It’s comprised mostly of paper, cardboard, those kinds of things. MLY: Where does the waste come from? FIGP: Right from the curb side pickup to the plant where we process it and burn it. The county also has curb side recycling so they do recycle ahead of the material being brought to the plant. So what we do is remove the non burnables, we remove any metals, and aluminum still with the products. Then we make the RDF and blow that into our boilers with our wood waste. MLY: How much

of the volume does the RDF comprise? FIGP: Typically 50 per cent of our fuel mix, is RDF and the remainder is wood waste and half of that is rail ties. MLY: Is the ash from the plant used for anything and is it covered? FIGP: We have a cell that our ash goes into and it is covered daily. Our other plant that burns wood waste with rail ties they have been reutilizing their ash for six or seven years. Because of the garbage component, the ash at this plant isn’t as homogeneous as the state would like for reuse so we don’t. MLY: Is the creosote from the rail ties still in the shavings when they arrive at the plant? FIGP: There is no way to take it off so it definitely comes in with

the ties, but it’s so volatile that it burns up and is destroyed in the combustion process. MLY: Have you had concerns about creosote from the public. FIGP: Several years ago at our other plant when we first started burning rail ties, we had the same concerns about how different is it than wood waste. We did some stack testing back then comparing a wood tie mixture to a wood only mixture and there was no difference in emissions. In fact in the wood tie mixture we had saw better emissions in some things we were looking for just because they burn hotter. The ties are drier and with the creosote being so volatile, actually make a nicer fuel than straight wood waste.

MEALS ON WHEELS NEEDS DRIVERS
Struggling economy hot election topic Tom Fletcher Black Press Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign. Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasiz-

Prime Minister Stephen Harper announces dissolution of Parliament at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, for a federal election Oct. 19. ing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year. “Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his cam-
paign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and
increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners. Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels. The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates. Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first na-
tional debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine. Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada’s commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election. Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bombing of Islamic State positions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.
Algae bloom at Horse Lake doesn’t pose risk to humans Interior Health wishes to advise users of Horse Lake, located southeast of 100 Mile House, that the current algae bloom does not pose risk to human health at this time. This determination has been made following testing of the water which revealed the algae bloom is not producing chemicals that would impact human health at this time. Interior Health will continue to monitor as the bloom is still developing and provide updates
if there are any changes. As the algal bloom grows and changes, it may start producing toxin. For this reason we encourage people to use the precautionary principle and avoid surface water ingestion. Residents using surface water are advised to follow safe drinking water guidelines which include disinfection and filtration before use. This removes naturally occurring germs such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. Residents un-
able to treat their water should boil all water used for drinking, washing of fresh fruits and vegetables and making ice for one minute or use water from an alternate potable (drinkable) water source. Although currently no toxin has been detected, if the situation changes and water becomes contaminated with algal toxin, boiling the water will not remove the toxin and an alternate source (bottled water) must be used.

Long election season ahead
Mount Polley, one year later
s expected, Prime Minister Stephen Harper put Canada officially into the election mode on Sunday. It’s going to be a long 11 weeks until election day and I’m not looking forward to the barrage of attack ads we’ll be subjected to. They get tiresome. Why can’t each party just tell us how they could run the country so we could make an intelligent choice rather than being besieged with propaganda? This business of trying to discredit others because you disagree is childish. If you can’t make a good case for your side of an argument without calling down the other guys, maybe it’s because you have nothing good to say about yourself or your side. French Politicians may Connection believe the only Diana French way to get up the ladder is to push everyone else off, but it’s a poor way to run a democracy. What does the ad being shown on TV ad nauseam noting that Justin Trudeau has nice hair, but he “Just isn’t ready” to be our leader prove? Mr. Harper’s hair isn’t so bad either but there are people who think he’s passed his best before date. According to the Globe and Mail, calling the election early will cost an extra $125 million, a goodly sum of that from taxpayers’ pockets. *** Three people who will benefit from the early dissolution of Parliament are suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau. The rules say they were only suspended while the House was sitting so they will be back on salary now. Both Duffy and Brazeau face charges in court. *** It was comforting to see the Martin Mars water bomber finally in action but aircraft fighting wild fires in the Kelowna area were grounded because someone was flying drones in their fire fighting space. Would that someone be ignorant or stupid? *** Haven’t heard any city person expressing delight over the new community mailboxes. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

t’s been a year since our community learned about a large and unprecedented breach at the Mount Polley Mine tailings storage facility. The news shook everyone — residents, First Nations, labour, industry and government alike. While the complete restoration of the area will take years to complete, significant progress has been made on environmental mitigation and remediation over the past year. This is all outlined in the One-Year Remediation Report released this week by our government. To date, we consider these Phase 1 activities complete or suitably initiated: safety (e.g., woody debris removed from Quesnel Lake); containment of tailings; monitorMLA ing; protection Musings of archaeological Coralee Oakes resources; protection of fish; erosion mitigation; water treatment; and reporting. One of these actions was to ensure the water quality in Quesnel Lake met provincial water quality guidelines, which has occurred. Phase 2 will focus on remediation through summer 2016 and beyond, and will include an ecological and human health risk assessment. We will continue to work closely with First Nations, the local communities and the company to ensure a comprehensive long-term plan for monitoring, remediation and restoration is implemented. Throughout this careful process of cleanup, investigation and remediation, local families have had to cope with the shutdown of the mill and the impact on their jobs and livelihoods. I know that the recent announcement of the mine’s re-start — with conditions — has been welcome news for our communities of Likely, Williams Lake, and 100 Mile House. We all look forward to seeing the mine up and running sometime within the next month. In the meantime, we want to hear from you. The Post Event Environmental Impact Assessment Report is now posted online at http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/eemp/ incidents/2014/mount-polley/. I encourage you to have a look and give your feedback.

Our Viewpoint
B.C. is worth a closer look It’s another beautiful day today in beautiful B.C., appropriate, we think, following B.C. Day. We hope you had a pleasant long weekend, and enjoyed B.C. in your own unique way. From what we’re told, more people are getting out and about in B.C. this summer than in recent years. Sunny skies, festival season, high gas prices and a weak loonie are some of the reasons why so many people might be choosing to stay-cation this summer. Or it could just be that our province is a pretty special place to be. We hope many of you found time during the long weekend to stroll, sight-see and explore. Because there’s so much B.C. that awaits just outside our doors, beckoning us to come out and play. Consider that the most worldly traveller will never come close to seeing all that the Earth has to offer — a lifetime isn’t nearly enough time to visit every nook and cranny

in Canada, B.C., or even the Cariboo Chilcotin. But it’s enough time to start looking. British Columbia means a lot of things. It’s a place. It’s 4.6 million people. It’s what the provincial government is or isn’t doing, and the state of the economy, and the news of the day, and a 144-year history and an untold future. It’s all of those things and it can be more, still, and we can make our province a better place with our votes, our work, our words and our actions. A lot of B.C., though, is perfect just the way it is. We have a responsibility of stewardship, but with that comes the freedom to experience this vast and variegated land that belongs to all of us and none of us. On B.C. Day or on any day, we should be proud of our province. And whenever we feel lucky to live here in beautiful B.C., it’s worth taking a look around, reminding ourselves why. - Black Press

MORE VIEWPOINTS Precious wildlife deserves Question of the week more protection What do you like best Editor:
It is with terrible sadness that I have been told that one of our rarest species in Canada, the badger, has been thoughtlessly killed by a bow-hunter. This precious species which is
critically endangered with less than 300 individuals in the province is on the brink of extinction here and thanks to this heinous act will no longer be able to feed her babies or reproduce ever again. I have reported this to our
local conservation officer and hope the appropriate consequences will be forth-coming. Please give our precious wildlife the protection it needs. Connie Jones 150 Mile House
Election crucial for civilization Editor: Were slaves ever good for their masters; master’s good for their slaves? One didn’t own oneself; one was a masters man or woman. Evolving democratic concepts and attitudes challenge lingering traditional autocratic presuppositions. Equality democratically frees master/slave dominant/submissive relationships. Freedom belongs to every person by virtue of their common humanity in a democratic society. Democracy affirms our fundamental human equality in our common humanity. In a democratic era, we can function only as equals among equals. Extremely unequal is one per cent owning more global wealth than 99 per cent by 2016 (the U.S. nears 1/10 of one per cent). We all suffer from inequality. Beyond incomplete abolition of slavery, women/children’s inequal-
ity, social injustice, unnecessary global wars ... imposed poverty ... master oligarchs undermine democracy by growing global inequality. Eight of 11 richest most powerful global corporations are titanic fossil-fuel extractors producing submissive extinction. Without interest in mitigating fossil-fuel extraction for the common good, Canadian and American Petroleum Producers (oil and gas) deceptively promise “prosperity.” We are fast tracked into irreversible catastrophic climate change. Discounted valid climate science is largely ignored against common sense for uncommon profit. Fatih Birol (Chief Economist, International Energy Agency) says, in 2017, the door closes for staying below 2C. Beginning now (2015-2030), divesting from fossil-fuel energy and investing in non-polluting renewable energy is critical. Oligarchs deny environmen-
tal limits of greenhouse gases produced from burning fossilfuels(coal, gas and oil). Our government promotes their oligarchy over democracy. Canadian 2015 election is crucial for democratic human civilization. Our greatest human crisis facing the modern world looms. Democratic ideals producing common public good for all are vilified — garbaged. Master’ of deception promote extreme oligarchic private wealth degrading common humanity. Securing our environmental sustainability, social justice, social equality and global peace for all, requires our democratic participation and contribution. The remedy for our inequity threatening 50,000 years of human history, is our direct democratic participation to regulate tragic vile unbridled avarice endangering all — anarchic oligarchic capitalism.

Argument against water petition fails to land any punches Editor: Re Tom Fletcher’s latest: Nestle protest doesn’t hold water (Williams Lake Tribune, 21 July 2015). Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately, none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood. As a representative of Water-
Letters aLways weLcome
Wealth I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about — primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded
to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the on-going work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of B.C. water law in over a century. Perhaps Mr. Fletcher over-

looked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from two cents to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use. None of those 80 categories of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge. Ian Stephen, campaign director WaterWealth Project

Willem and Henry Allan and Ethan James try out one of the paper kazoos they were making at the Performances in the Park on July 23. The Community Arts Council of Williams Lake has a regular kids craft corner beside the stage at each of the park concerts happening in Boitanio Park through the summer on Thursday evenings.
What’s Up Yer Kilt? author here Friday What’s Up yer Kilt? author KC Dyer will hold a book signing at the Open Book, Friday, Aug. 7 from 11 to 3 p.m. Readers who are looking for a hilarious and inspiring story that has historical elements, travel and technology fun, sisterly competition and a pop culture connection for the summer
will welcome this author. Those travelling to Scotland without planning will want to read this to be aware of what not to do! KC Dyer resides in the wilds of British Columbia in the company of an assortment of mammals, some of them human. She likes to walk in the woods and write books. Dyer has spoken
with thousands of kids in schools across Canada from British Columbia to PEI; across the US and in Europe and Asia. She is a director and long-time participant at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. Her most recent novel, romantic comedy for grown-ups, is called Finding Fraser, published in 2015.
Two local bands, Flannel Roots at 6 p.m. and Blue Note at 7 p.m. are on deck for the Performances in the Park Thursday evening. Flannel Roots is a three piece folk rock band with Rowan Dolighan, Dylan Pritchard and Leyland Bernier. The band was created in the spring of 2014 and has recorded an album. Enjoy our local hip hop crew entertaining you during the intermission, lead by Julie Turgeon, says event organizer, Angela Sommer. A love for old standards brought the Blue Note band together almost two years ago. When Mack the Knife goes on a Sentimental Journey on Route 66, then BlueNote is in the house, Sommer says. Their genre ranges from swing and jazz to the occasional Dixie or Blues tune. The pianist and the “horn section” make sure that the set list is also infused with some Latin beats, while the

Teen trains for Tour de Cariboo LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Danika Robson is training for her third Big Brothers Big Sisters Tour de Cariboo. The 17-year-old high school student said the tour is a good way to stay in shape over the summer and a great way to prepare for her dream of riding in a big international race. She didn’t grow up riding bikes — she learned to ride in Grade 8, only two years before taking on the challenge of her first Tour de Cariboo. “I had heard about the tour and really wanted to try it,” Danika said. “It looked like a fun challenge and a good workout.” On her first tour Danika made the minimum age requirement by two days. Accompanied by her uncle, Dean McDonald, that first ride took her just over five hours. “Last year I did it in threeand-a-half hours. Mind you, the first year I had a mountain bike with a squeaky front brake,” she added. “I went to a road bike, which was a lot better.” She said the tour is very wellorganized, and the whole structure of the ride is helpful. “It motivates you to keep going. The group part is fun; you see different people and chat along the ride. You see familiar faces and meet new people every year. “After doing the ride two years, I’ll tell you that Wine Jug Hill is still awful, but it’s easier if you do some hill training. “And it feels so good when you get to the finish line — there’s such a great feeling of

accomplishment. The hard thing about it is that when you get to it you’ve already ridden more than 60 km and it’s long and steep.” She said that her first year she walked most of the final hill, but her second year she rode all the way. “One thing that really makes it fun is the encouragement you get from the other riders. It gives you more energy to finish the race,” Danika explained. “You can talk for a bit and people pace you for a while.” She said that recently she did 88 km in the Valley Grandfondo bike race in Langley with her dad, Glenn Robson, her uncle Dean McDonald and several others. “I’m pretty competitive with other people and with myself. When I’m riding uphill and see someone ahead of me, I have to try to pass them,” she noted. “I loved the chance to see what I could do in the tour; it’s a great experience and a fundraiser for a great cause,” Danika says. “At the end of the ride, you think, ‘OK, that hurts,’ but you still feel great. You go for a swim in the lake, go in the sauna. “The food is always good, there’s a massage therapist on site and you always look forward to the live music and the awards. It feels like a celebration.” For more information about the Tour de Cariboo, including how to register as a relay team for the ride, phone 250398-8391, visit www.bbswlake. com or see them on Facebook at Big Brothers and Sisters of Williams Lake.
Seniors advised on how to recognize scams Pat Cassidy Special to Tribune/Advisor The other day I received a phone call that went “Thank you for flying with Westjet, as a result we would like to reward you with a free trip;” at this point I hung up. Why? I have not flown with Westjet and the call was obviously a scam. If the conversation had continued, they would have asked for my credit card, etc. It seem that scammers are getting more inventive these days. Every other day I get calls
such as: grandma I need money, your computer is corrupt and needs fixing, we can get you a better rate with your Visa, etc. and seniors are so vulnerable to these scams. So at last Old Age Pensioners Organization meeting we had a guest speaker to make us aware of the scams and frauds and what to do to protect ourselves. Mr. Dave Dickson, from community safety, Williams Lake RCMP detachment gave a very interesting presentation. Firstly, whether it be a bank, credit card company or Revenue Canada asking for information or money over the phone. You couldn’t win a lottery or
a trip if you didn’t buy a ticket. Never give money to receive a cheque from the purchaser way above the asking price and the sender stating that he made the cheque in error and could you please return the difference. You would go to the bank and the cheque will be accepted and so you can send the difference away. But then a few days later the bank will tell you that the cheque did not clear and you will be responsible to make good on the original amount. In these days when most everyone owns a cell phone, here is something to be aware of. If a number appears on your
phone and you do not recognize it, do not phone that number because if you do phone you will be charged by the minute for the call anywhere from $4 and up per minute for the call. If it is a legitimate call let the caller call you back. New scams are always popping up, so I will advise you not to readily part with your money or information. Take the time to check with relatives or scam division or the RCMP before you take action. The Seniors Activity Centre will be closed from Aug. 17 to 29 for the summer break and will open again for activities on Monday, Aug. 31.

Sights, sounds and flavours of summer Cindy Bossio Special to Tribune/Advisor Are you heading to the beach for the day, camping for the weekend or having the neighbours over for a barbecue? Grab some local seasonal produce to enjoy along with your summertime fun! There are so many great reasons to eat locally grown foods, but my favourite, by far, is the flavour. Produce fresh from your garden, a farm stand, or a farmer’s market is picked at the peak of
ripeness and is brimming with flavours that make summertime so special. It’s a bonus that local foods are better for the environment, keep our hard earned money in the community, and are more nutritious than foods that come from afar. For me, summer is a time for: • Fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and a mint leaf bobbing in a tall glass of sparkling water, sipped by the lake. • A colorful parfait
layered with yogurt, whole grain cereal, and freshly picked huckleberries enjoyed while sitting on the patio. • A big leafy green salad loaded with spinach, kale, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumbers, and shredded beets carried next door and paired with the entrée on your neighbour’s grill. • Crunchy ears of corn with fresh dill from a food truck, bright red juicy cherries from the Farmers’ Market. • Tomatoes and
herbs from a Community Garden tossed on a whole-wheat pizza and cooked in an outdoor oven. • A homemade fresh fruit Popsicle enjoyed by a child after an afternoon of running through the sprinkler. • Watermelon sliced and slurped while sitting at a picnic table surrounded by trees. • Celery stalks dipped into fresh salsa made with tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, chili peppers, onions, and passed around the campfire.
• Colourful sweet peppers, zucchini, cauliflower, and eggplant, slowly roasted on the barbeque. • The smell of muffins baked in the oven on a cool late summer evening, made from zucchini picked from the garden. Check out what’s in season now at bcfarmersmarket.org Let the sights, sounds, smells, and flavors of summer tempt your senses! Cindy Bossio is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

leader Linda Bingham said the club’s drop-in youth centre offers a monthly calendar that changes depending on the interests of the youth. “We offer cooking, movie nights and career prep programs,” Bingham said. There’s also a flex your head program, that’s run through the national office. “It’s a mental health promotion program about normalizing mental health, teaching youth what’s healthy and what’s not, that we all experience mental health issues.” There are modules with a number of different activities staff can use to cater with youth. A bit of stigma is attached to the Boys and Girls Club because it is open to everyone. “We are accepting of any youth who come through our doors as long as they are respecting our rules,” Bingham said. “We don’t allow any stigma the youth are experiencing from the outside of the centre affect how we treat them on the inside of the centre.” Every youth that walks through the doors is treated the same, no matter what is going on with them outside in the community. “They come in with no judgement,” she added. “That way every youth has equal opportunity to participate and learn.” The club will hold its annual Street Party, on August 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. This is a free event for all ages! For the little ones: bouncy castle, art, water fight (at about 7 p.m.), hockey shoot, jumbo games (jumbo kerplunk, snakes and ladders, pick-up sticks, etc...), remote control race cars and more. For the bigger ones: graffiti art, remote control race cars, hockey shoot, paintball target shoot, water fight (at about 7:30pm), and more! The club will be serving a hotdog barbecue with the first hotdog for free.

Another remarkable character who appeared in the Williams Lake area during the gold rush years was Benjamin Franklin "Doc" English. He was born in Missouri in 1841 and, at the age of seven, he came west with his parents along the Oregon Trail, riding virtually all the way on various horses. At one point during this journey the boy and his father separated from the main group to do some berryp i c k ing. They were accosted by an Indian war party and one of the horses they were riding was struck in the rump by a poisoned arrow. It dropped dead just as they caught up to the wagon train. When he was 15, Doc returned to Missouri and successfully guided more friends and relatives across the country to Oregon. Three years later, in 1859, Doc and several members of his family, after hearing tales about the abundance of gold, came north to the Cariboo via the Okanagan Valley.

Along the route they were ambushed by hostile natives and had to fight their way through the unfamiliar territory. The 1860s saw Doc running a pack train from Yale to Barkerville. Eventually, he branched out and went into partnership with Thomas Hance (for whom Hanceville in the Chilcotin is named) and they opened a trading post/store in the Clinton area. It is said that he ordered $10,000 worth of goods and supplies from the Hudson's Bay Company, and when asked how he would pay for them, he replied that he was always ready to pay, but not right then. Eighteen months later, he returned to the HBC with $40,000 in furs and gave them first option to purchase the lot. The HBC made an offer but a rival company outbid them by $6,000. Doc was able to repay his outstanding debt with ease. It should be noted here that Doc was
neither a doctor, nor was he even educated beyond a rudimentary level. His nickname came about because of his passion for horses and his innate ability to diagnose and nurse their ailments. Doc lived by his wits and his cunning, and some of his schemes were legendary. By the late 1860s Doc was working part time as a horse trainer for William Pinchbeck on the huge Williams Lake ranch. At that time, horse racing was the major sport in the Cariboo region. A regular racing circuit had been established with tracks at Barkerville, Quesnel, Becher's Prairie, Williams Lake, Lac La Hache, 100 Mile House, Cache Creek and Ashcroft. Race meets would last for up to a week, and they were real social affairs. People would camp out, betting on their favourite mounts during the day, and socializing (partying) well into the night. The liquor flowed freely, and huge amounts of money were bet. One could find oneself a rich man or a pauper after any one of these events. In 1873, Doc took up 360 acres of bench land on the west side of the Fraser River.

Since the gold rush days, the area had been known as Deer Park after its abundance of deer, and that was what Doc named his ranch. He worked the land and used it to pursue his love of horses and horse racing. Often he would import outstanding or promising race animals into the country. Doc thought so highly of one such horse, named Chinaman, that he had gold-plated horse shoes made for it. One year Doc brought in two horses from San Francisco. They were fast and expensive, and Doc was certain they were winners. He convinced his old partner, Thomas Hance, to bet on this "sure thing." Unfortunately, the local horses proved to be faster and both Doc and Hance lost their shirts. Not discouraged at all, the next year Doc returned with a new horse, determined to make up for the previous season's losses. He had a hunch that his jockey was being approached by his opponents and being paid to throw the race. The rider in question was young Archie McLean, who later with his two brothers became part of the notorious McLean gang in the Kamloops/ Douglas Lake area, and was hanged for murder. One morning a couple of days prior to the race, Doc had breakfast with Archie and his younger brother, Alex. The boys were visibly nervous and wouldn't maintain eye contact. Archie left to see the horse and Doc asked Alex straight up what

the problem was. The boy broke down and confessed that the fix was in. Doc swore him to silence and paid him a bit to ensure that he kept quiet. On the day of the race, as the riders weighed in at the starting post, Doc told Archie that he would not be riding for him in this race, nor in any future races. Archie, who had a quick temper, pulled a derringer and was about to fire on Doc, but a man standing nearby grabbed and disarmed him. He was turned over to the local constable. Doc then substituted 12-year-old Jimmy Isnardy as the jockey. Jimmy was so light that the other horse owners insisted that weights be fastened to the saddle to make it a fair race. However, while the horses were lining up at the starting line, Doc went out to keep his horse calm and focused. After the race began he returned — with the saddle weights. Doc's horse won easily, and Doc made thousands of dollars from the wagering. In another famous contest, a match race, Doc had a jet black stallion which was to race a fast sorrel owned by Doc's friend, Phil Grinder from Cache Creek. The race was to be over a 600-yard straight course from a standing start. It was agreed to hold the race on the flats at the west end of Williams Lake, and the race was heavily advertised.

On race day, at least $75,000 had been wagered (about $2 million in today's dollar) and the excitement ran high. It was reported that all mining on the gold field creeks had stopped for two weeks prior to the event to allow the miners to attend. The race must have been a big disappointment for many, since it wasn't even close. The black stallion won by several lengths, and Doc had another big pay day. Nevertheless, Doc and Phil knew a good thing when they saw it. They decided upon a second challenge race, and this time, the sorrel would win.
That would lead to a third tiebreaker race, and the money would roll in. The only problem would be how to slow down Doc's horse enough so he would lose the second race without being obvious. Together, they came up with a scheme to give the big black horse an arsenic pill — just enough to put him out of sorts. Phil, who had bet everything he had on his sorrel, agreed to administer the pill while Doc watched. Just before the race, Phil came to the stable with the pill rolled up in a lump of bread. The horse didn't want to co-operate and Phil had trouble getting its mouth open, so Doc volunteered to hold the bread lump.
Phil got the jaws open but, by then, Doc had switched the bread for a lump with no pill. Again in this race, Doc's horse won handily. Doc English made another fortune. Phil Grinder lost everything, but what could he do? He couldn't complain that Doc had cheated him from fixing the match. Phil and Doc never spoke to each other again and there was no third race. Just across the Fraser River bridge on Highway 20 is a large promontory which is known as Doc English Bluff. It is now an ecological reserve protecting unique flora as well as
some rare bird species. From the top there is a spectacular view of the Fraser River and some of its bench lands. It is an enduring reminder of one of the area's most colourful pioneers. Note: I leaned heavily on Buckaroos and Mud Pups by Ken Mather for this one.

“Floor curling is fun because it takes strategy and co-ordination, and you don’t have a sweep — it’s all up to you,” she explained. “I enjoy playing at the Games: I love the competition and the excitement knowing it can go either way.” She said it’s great for seniors to stay active. “In this town there’s no excuse for seniors
to say there’s nothing to do,” she added. “All they have to do is check out the Seniors Activity Centre. I don’t want to sit around looking at the four walls: that doesn’t make sense to me. I’d rather stay active.” Over the years the Williams Lake curling team has brought home bronze, gold and

curling, carpet bowling and power walking over the years,” she said. “It’s been a lot of fun.” Madge Struthers agrees. “Ellen talked me into this, and it’s a blast,” she stated. “We have a great time and that’s why we do it.” Wiege also reminds local area seniors to consider competing or volunteering for the B.C. Seniors Games. Volunteers are needed to help with local fundraising efforts and organizing local events.

ATV poker run draws 121 riders Linda Bartsch Special to Tribune/Advisor In what was described as the “best quad ride ever” by trail boss Wayne Johnson, the third annual Horsefly Volunteer Fire Department ATV Poker Run was a resounding success. In all, 121 riders and 14 ghost riders participated in the poker run, held at Eureka Peak near Horsefly on July 25. The winning hand was held by Johnson, while Teresa Mack finished in second and Linda Schmid placed third. The hardy Cariboo people were rewarded by blue skies and sunshine at the top of the mountain after a wet and strenuous ride. The route covered 80 kilometres of mountain scenery in the Black Creek country at the headwaters of the Horsefly River. The event wouldn’t have been possible without the help of local volunteers and businesses, organizers said. “I’d like to thank Ross Williams, Brad Tippe and Ron Benisch for helping with the trail work,” Johnson said. “And Heino Seibert of Spectra Power Sports for the ‘ace’ quad to use on the ride.”
