Property owners discuss impacts of land slippage Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Some owners of properties located above Highway 20 and below Dog Creek Road are seeing cracks in the floors, walls and ceilings of buildings due to a combination of land slippage and groundwater in an area that was first identified as an ancient landslide in 1997. During a meeting held Friday at Pioneer Complex, Terra Ridge Strata president Ed Mead said there have been water problems ever since Terra Ridge was built and most of it is under control and has been for years. “There’s been action taken to alleviate it, but suddenly we’re getting a shift of the land, and or more water, or something that is causing us damage,” Mead said, noting of the 40 duplexes at Terra Ridge, two units in one duplex have experienced problems. “There was some indication last year, but it was in March of this year we saw some damage. It’s estimated

to be costing us anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 and that’s uninsurable and not claimable,” Mead said. Re p r e s e n t a t i v e s from the Cariboo Regional District, the city, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Fortis and MLA Donna Barnett attended the meeting and were urged to take action. On behalf of the Pioneer Family Land Partnership, André Chevigny said when they purchased Pioneer Complex and the surrounding land in 2004 there were already big problems in the area. “The old Cariboo College building sat vacant for approximately eight years,” Chevigny said, noting ever since they moved in they’ve worked with structural engineers and consultants to try and stabilize the building. “I believe it’s a regional problem and it is completely out of our control as individuals,” Chevigny said. The ancient landslide was first recog-

nized as a problem when the college was having difficulties. “I know that the ministry has a problem with Highway 20 right below us and Dog Creek Road this spring had problems and Fortis did as well,” Chevigny explained, noting the problem has been talked about quietly and anonymously because people fear their property values will be impacted. Kamloops experienced similar water problems in its Aberdeen area in1996 when a number of units were damaged because of groundwater issues, said the city’s engineering manager Deven Matkowski. To effectively stop the ground movement, the city of Kamloops installed 30 wells to pump the water out of the ground to lower the groundwater table. “Water’s the only thing you can manage, you can’t change the ground, it is what it is,” Matkowski said. A third of the wells were installed specifically in the area that moved in the mid-90s

The Terra Ridge and Pioneer Complex area have been impacted by groundwater this year. Matkowski said. During Friday’s meeting Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb said the city checked its reservoir and water mains this spring to make sure they weren’t leaking. “We spent $10,000 so far determining that at least it’s none of our water system that’s creating the problem,” Cobb said. “It’s been an ongoing problem. Way back there were

three homes on South Lakeside we had to remove because of the slide.” Cobb agreed to call a meeting with officials and encouraged

New firefighting facility announced for airport

With weather conditions expected to remain warm and dry, water users in the Middle Fraser region which includes the Cariboo and Chilcotin are being urged to reduce water consumption, and the Government of B.C. has announced a Level 3 drought rating for the area. Level 3 drought conditions call for voluntary water use reductions of an additional 20 per cent beyond Level 2 conservation levels 30 per cent overall

The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) will be getting a new $5.88 million firefighting facility at the Williams Lake Airport, the provincial government announced Friday. The new one-storey, 2,045-square-metre (22,000-square-foot) main building and three upgraded outbuildings will be home to the CFC’s main office, associ-

ated support services, and ground crew and air crew facilities. Planned amenities include the regional wildfire co-ordination centre, air tanker and pilot facilities, meeting and training rooms staff offices, workshops, firefighter changing rooms, laundry and shower areas, and storage areas. The four buildings will replace 11

separate structures and trailers, some of which are about 40 years old. Lauren Brothers Construction has been selected to build the state-of-the-art firefighting complex through a competitive process. Construction is starting this month and should be completed by fall 2016. About two-thirds of the project’s trade

and the other two thirds were put in slopes that were analyzed in the late 90s. Matkoswki said the cost of a well can vary from $50,000 to $200,000. Kamloops also installed 130 metres to monitor groundwater pressure and they are checked on a weekly basis. “They are a good indicator if the wells are working properly,”

contractors are companies in the Williams Lake area. The new structure will be built on longterm leased land at the north end of the Williams Lake Airport, in the same spot where the previous office and auxiliary buildings were located. Until the new building is completed, BC Wildfire Service staff

will work in temporary trailers that have been set up near the construction site. The new CFC facility will improve wildfire response and suppression capabilities in one of the most active wildfire regions in the province. One of the goals of this project is to centralize staff resources and promote increased efficiency.

any residents who are experiencing problems with groundwater, wells or sinking property to please let government officials know.

Level three drought rating for Cariboo Chilcotin in place from all municipal, agricultural and industrial users. Staff with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations anticipate that this region could experience significant water supply shortages in 2015. Ministry staff are closely monitoring river levels and ecosystems and may upgrade the drought level if the weather continues to have a negative effect on stream flows and water supply.

B.C’s Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick said the province is developing regional adaptation plans in response to climate change. “What happens in the Peace is different than what happens in the South Okanagan,” Letnick said during a tour of the Cariboo last week. The regional plans will look at the risks of longer hotter and drier summers, as well as opportunities, such as longer growing seasons, those changes might offer different parts of province. “We’re doing that analysis right now to see how different parts of the province adapt best to climate change over the next 30 years or so,” Letnick said. Letnick said people are happy with the province’s “buy local program” and want to see the $6 million the government invested in the program continued. Markets are being expanded locally in

A big part of his ministry’s mandate for the year is to look at a plan

for B.C.’s food security and a part of that will involve encouraging people to buy local products. Letnick said the province recently launched a new website — AgriService BC — a one-stop shop for farmers and ranchers to ask questions.

Last year the issue of selling farm land to a foreign company for planting trees was brought to Letnick’s attention. “The company has told us they won’t be doing that anymore,” Letnick said. “Maybe they will lease out the land they have bought to young farmers, they don’t know what they will do yet.” However, the issue has forced government to look at the policy to see if anything needs to change. “Before and if we make any changes in policy we will consult through our local MLAs with ranchers and farmers,” Letnick said, noting he disagrees that the amount of land owned by foreigners should be limited. “We are a trading province and we encourage British Columbians to go out and trade and vice versa.”

NEWS Nurses offer home support services Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two nurses in the Cariboo are pairing up to offer home support services for people who want to stay at home. Marnie Brenner and Wanda Charleyboy say home and community care is not often available on evenings and weekends and they want to close the gap. “We want to provide options because people don’t have a lot of choices,” Charleyboy said. The emphasis will also be to provide client-centred care to help reduce stress for people. “We can accompany people to doctor appointments and shopping even,” Brenner said, noting they are keen on building relationships with clients. Charleyboy grew up in the Chilcotin and became a nurse in 2004. She has worked at Alkali Lake since August 2005, worked in Nunavut and at

She will continue working at Alkali Lake, along with the new venture, but sees their business plan as an opportunity to do things differently. “We can tailor care for the clients to suit their needs and desires,” Charleyboy said, adding it’s a timely venture. “People are aging and the

system is pressured. Out in the communities people want to be at home to pass.” In her experience as a nurse Charleyboy has seen that often residential school experiences surface. “Elders are often reluctant to go into any type of care because of that,” she said. Brenner has been a nurse for 23 years and

moved to Williams Lake from Saskatchewan with her family. Last fall she resigned from a position with Interior Health (IH) to run for city council. Now Brenner is the diabetes nurse educator for IH in 100 Mile House where she works two days a week. Brenner also owns

foot care business for seniors. The two nurses said their Home to Stay services will also be offered in 100 Mile House and in the future they hope to contract care aids and homemakers as the business grows. “We are local and we can build on that to provide opportunities for care, be advocates and liaisons for people and the medical system,” Brenner said. People want choices and control, Charleyboy added. “We hope to help people manage their lives with supports.” Brenner agreed. “Our vision is to make a difference in a positive way and allow people to live on their own terms,” she said. Charleyboy can be reached at 250-3030607 and Brenner at 250-267-2371. Both can be reached by e-mail at home2staynursing@gmail. com.

Diana French He joins the six other Harper appointees on the nine-member court. Chief Justice Beverly McLaughlin is a Mulroney appointee, and one Justice is a Liberal appointee. It is heartening to those Canadians who fear our rights and freedoms are being eroded to know that the Justices have shown no inclination to make political decisions and, in fact, have shot down seven of nine issues close to Mr. Harper’s heart, much to his displeasure. The Senate is a different matter. Mr. Harper has appointed 59 senators, and the Conservatives have a comfortable majority of votes. They seem to rubber stamp whatever comes along with little time spent on that “sober second thought” thing the Senate is supposed to provide. The Senate, which has been around since Confederation, and the SCC (1875) are supposed to ensure that elected governments behave themselves and put the interests of Canadians and Canada ahead of politics. The Senate is in such shambles that both Mr. Harper and NDP leader Tom Mulcair want to dump it. I don’t agree. It’s some Senators causing the problems. If, instead of the governing party filling senate vacancies with their buddies, the opposition parties got to choose the new Senators, the Upper House might function the way it was intended to.

Our Viewpoint

Sorting news and views So, this is what we’re doing for the next 10 weeks, eh? The 42nd general election got underway last week, in case you missed the writ drop — which is entirely likely, considering in the summer most of the country heads for the nearest body of water and away from the furthest smart device with Internet capability. It’s an election that’s been simmering for more than a year, with new leadership under Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau for the NDP and Liberals, respectively, taking on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. Throw in the Green Party’s Elizabeth May, and voters are not lacking for choice. It’s relatively hard to gauge on social media just how the country’s politics are leaning. We tend to attract friends who share our beliefs and values, clogging our newsfeeds with commentary which reinforces our preconceived ideals. And we’ve all come to realize how accurate polling can be. The cheap and easy platforms for websites also makes this election a little unique. Trawling the ’net found me at a site dedicated to quotes from NDP candidates selected to raise concern among pro-oil sands voters. Another site played on Trudeau’s name, suggesting he’s ‘just in over his head.’ There’s also

Some of these sites might look hackneyed and amateur, but many of them are partysponsored and an integral part of the negative campaigning we’ve come to recognize in attack ads. In this information age it’s more important than ever to be media literate, to question the source and motivation of the media you’re looking at, and to gather a variety of viewpoints, even if you’d rather gouge your eyes out than listen to Ezra Levant or David Suzuki.

or more than 100 years, 4-H has become one of the foremost leadership programs for youth and has truly inspired the Heads, Hearts, Health and Hands of many world-wide. One of the ways BC’s 4-H was recognized this past year is through their agriculture achievements, receiving the prestigious Century Farm Award, for example. Ranching and livestock is a big part of the economy of the Cariboo-Chilcotin and I couldn’t be more proud of all those involved with the Williams Lake and District 4-H and all they do every day to make our communities a better place. Whether the opportunities and projects they have include fixing a small engine, knitting a sweater or training an animal — the friends MLA made, team buildMusings ing, education, self-confidence deDonna Barnett velopment, goalsetting and lifetime skills learned are part of the reason why 4-H has truly become a worldwide movement where 4-H staff, volunteers and supporters are also passionate about addressing the need to build on this brand. And what better way to show off the skills learned than at a show and sale? The 57th annual 4-H Show and Sale is coming up in Williams Lake, where different 4-H clubs will be participating and competing against other clubs in the district. During this time, you can see the hard work, patience and dedication that our youth put into raising their animals, discover many of their gifts and talents and see their projects that you and your family and friends could enjoy. After all the competitions are over, the last night of the show and sale weekend comes to an end during sale night, where all market projects are auctioned off by 4-H members and sold to local business and individual supporters of 4-H. I encourage everyone to come and see what 4-H is all about. You can do so by showing your support by attending Aug. 15-19 where the sale will take place on the evening of Aug. 19 held at the Williams Lake Stockyard located at 4665 Cattle Drive. Other ways you can get involved are by joining or visiting them online at bc4h.bc.ca where you can stay up-to-date on any other upcoming events or fundraising initiatives.

Hazeltine Creek below Ditch Road one year after the Mount Polley Mine tailings pond breach.

Beautiful land beyond monetary value Editor: The decision to allow a restart of operations at Mount Polley Mine sends a clear message: the mining industry can be irresponsible about its tailings and poisonous by-products, and get away with it. That there can be negligence and errors of omission by mining companies and no consequences, no penalties or fines and no consequences for their crime against the environment. There is no doubt the company, engineers and workers were aware the tailings facility was insufficient, and that there was a definite possibility that it would breach. Because nothing was done to remedy the situation, the worst disaster in the history of mining in North America happened. That’s how things work in capiTo all the friendly and helpful staff at Spectra Power Sports, thank you so much.

talist dictatorship where tax revenue from the highly-paid workers is a huge priority and the environment and watersheds matter not at all. The campers at Raft Creek Campsite were evacuated at 5 a.m. on Aug. 4 and told to keep their animals away from the toxic sludge because of the arsenic and mercury in it. The disaster area was sealed off to the public and Imperial Metals announced that 14.5 million cubic metres of effluent was released by the breach. Actually, it was 26.5 million cubic metres. Did they not know how much effluent was in their badly overloaded and inadequate facility? Why didn’t the company spend the money to reinforce the walls of their tailings facility when it became obvious there were problems

with it? Why was the tailings facility built where it was in the first place and not as far as possible from Quesnel Lake in the safest location they could find? One other question: when will local politicians and businessmen and women realize there is more to life than their businesses and making money? This beautiful land we are fortunate to live in is beyond monetary value. I look forward to a full judicial inquiry into this disaster and appropriate fines and penalties assessed against Imperial Metals, and culpability (blame) for the disaster to be determined by the courts.

Williams Lake WHY WALK?

Walking gives you an opportunity to carve some time out of a hectic day for yourself. You can achieve fitness through walking while listening to your favorite tunes or taking time to reflect on your surroundings. If it’s difficult for you to maintain your motivation by yourself, joining a walking group may be the answer. Walking with a group gives you an opportunity to socialize. Having people around you who enjoy walking can also inspire you and hold you accountable to your own walking goals. The Public Health Agency of Canada’s Physical Activity Guide supports walking as both an endurance and strength activity. People walk for many reasons – for exercise, for pleasure, to experience the outdoors, to lessen the effects of chronic health conditions, for environmental concerns. Walking strengthens bones and muscles and is virtually injury-free. Walking can be done almost anytime, anywhere, and it’s free!

Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged. Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged

more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 in early August. But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refin-

ing charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.” Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence. Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay. Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-centa-litre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as well as B.C.’s carbon tax. Motorists are paying just over $1 in Al-

berta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada. But even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada. The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up. “Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said. Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries. If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be

shipped north in the first place. Another “huge” factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year. Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago. So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices? “Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said. They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual. If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.

Nepal gets helping hand from the Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer While working with the Canadian Red Cross in an area devastated by April’s 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal, Chilcotin nurse practitioner Patrice Gordon was struck by the genuine compassion of people living in the region. “In spite of the hardships they are still so happy, warm, welcoming and interested in other people,” Gordon told the Tribune. “They are not absorbed with what’s befallen them.” When she compared the lives of people in Nepal to those of people living in North America it was humbling, she added. “We complain because our price of gas goes up or whatever, or worry over things that are really trivial in the big picture. There’s a lesson for all of us in this for sure.” Gordon was the leader of a 21-person team stationed at a field hospital in Dhunché from July 3 to 29. Made up of four doctors, five nurses, two paramedics and technicians, team members came from Colombia, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Canada. Patient care kept them busy, but primarily the CRC was there to offer support to local doctors and nurses so the field hospital could continue to function after CRC left. As monsoon season was in full swing, patients were arriving with venomous snake bites so the team formulated a snake bite protocol and kit. Team members also did assessments of the nine separate tent cities located on the tiered mountainside where residents from surrounding displaced communities had come to live temporarily after the quake. “They set up tarps or whatever they could find to put up over their heads,” Gordon said of the tent city. Part of the assessment was to determine how much help people had received, where they were getting water from, what their latrine situations were, and finding out how many children and pregnant women there were. Around 2,300 people normally live in Dhunché and another 700 were living in the camps. “We found problems with water sources and problems with inaccessibility to latrines,” Gordon said, noting they ended up liaising with other organizations that were in the area doing water sanitization and hygiene work to help them find the people who were in need.

Nurse practitioner Patrice Gordon helping a mother board a medevac helicopter to accompany her critically ill daughter to Kathmandu. Their hospital was erected inside the one building that remained standing after the earthquake and the rest of the emergency response unit was in tents. One of the greatest challenges was transporting patients six

hours along the road to Kathmandu. The road is carved on the side hills of mountains and because of the earthquake, followed by monsoon season, continuous

landslides were hampering road stability. Every day Gordon would hear the sound of landslides, she said. “We would take photographs and compare the next day to see where the new scars were.” The rain made the road muddy and slippery and there was no room to slide off, she said, adding for the first time in her life she was afraid of road conditions. “You were squeezed against the rock face and at one point we said if it was raining on our way back we’d get out and walk.” Eventually the hospital was only allowed to use the road for essential medical travel. When a young pregnant mother arrived who was having seizures, a helicopter was called in to transport her to a larger centre. See TRAGEDY Page A12

Public invited to enjoy Art Walk Continued From Page A14 Twenty businesses was a lot to cover in one day but most of the small group was able to complete the tour, have their passports stamped and listen to Forbes read out the small biographies which appear in the passport book. The group visited Papyrus Printing to see the meticulous wildlife and wilderness paintings of Lucille Thompson Trudeau; The Missing Link to see the wildlife photographs which Rider Cheyne had taken in Africa; the whimsical hand-built teapots, cups and saucers and other pottery made by Jude Prevost on display at Lo’s Florist, the avant-garde quilt designs hanging at the Taseko/Gibraltar office created by Shirley Pascas. At the Tribune/ Weekend Advisor viewers saw the new white stoneware works by local potter Lesley Lloyd. Walkers moved on to see the lively new collection of abstract paintings by Gladys Wheatley hanging at Cariboo Dental Clinic; the collection of nature scenes by Joan Bingham at FBB Fraser Bevz Broughton Chartered Accountants LLP; and the sculpture of Bruce Charbonneau at The Realm of Toys. They also had an opportunity to meet Charbonneau in his Frame Creations by Bruce studio where the paintings of Kathleen Booth are displayed. The group visited the Hobbit House to see the paintings of Sirkka McKerral; Lake City Glass to see the mandalas created by Cariboo Art Society members. Visits were made to Kit and Kaboodle to

see the paintings of Eleanor Friesen; to Adventure Games to see the art of tattoo artist Brian Garten; to Bloom ‘n’ Gifts to see the hand-crafted baskets by Debbie Lloyd. They viewed photography at South 2nd Deli by Neil Gerrior and Janel Fraser; the mountain inspired oil paintings by Heidi Redl at the BMO Bank of Montreal; the multi-media paintings of Maeghan Watkinson at Sandtronic and the pottery of Colleen Kielman at Hub International Barton Insurance. As an added bonus the group also viewed paintings by James Savage at BFF Fashions; jewellery by Geoff Bourdon at Woodland Jewellers; and paintings by Wendy Stewart at WalkRite Shoes. There are far too many artists and businesses to mention here but the walk is all laid out in the art walk booklet provided by the BIA in which walkers can collect stamps for chances to win the grand prize necklace designed and created by Geoff Bourdon and valued at $550. There are also draw boxes for prizes at every one of the 54 business hosts on the walk who are collectively featuring the work of more than 70 local and visiting artists. Dye invites the public to get out and enjoy the creative talents of local artists as well as artists visiting from Bella Coola, Logan Lake, Quesnel, Pritchard and Merritt. He also says walkers should be on the lookout for local merchants offering Art Walk special deals on selected products throughout the walk that wraps up Sept. 12 with the grand prize draw and people’s choice awards.

Release your inner artist with Blooming on Canvas LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Whether you’ve never picked up a paintbrush in your life but always wanted to try it, or painted years ago and want to try it again, Blooming on Canvas has something for everyone. It’s a way to promote art in our lives and our communities, showcase local artists and support local businesses, but mainly it’s a fresh, fun idea for a party, say art enthusiasts Michelle Doherty and Adele Hamilton. Blooming on Canvas, a template of social painting parties, is now thriving in Williams Lake, as Doherty and Hamilton book up to 20 guests per party at a local bar or restaurant. “Participants can purchase a meal, appetizers and beverages and then try their hand at painting with the guidance of an art

facilitator,” Doherty says. “It’s a fun, unique get-together for friends and family for any occasion — to let your inner child come out and paint.” Doherty says she met Adele in February 2015 and in April they started looking for a business idea to do together. “We wanted something fresh, new, fun and interactive with the public. Adele had a friend who went to one of these parties in Calgary and loved it. We looked into it and by July it was up and running in Williams Lake,” she explains. Feedback from Blooming on Canvas guests, as well as the local bars and restaurants where they meet, has been enthusiastic, and that they have many repeat customers. To date they book painting parties at Signal Point, the Loon, Boston Pizza and Oliver’s, and have

Blooming on Canvas promoters Adele Hamilton and Michelle Doherty and art facilitator Avikali Lomavatu (centre) recently welcomed guests to one of their painting sessions. held a house party at Chimney Lake. They have also held a party for teens. “The appeal is that anyone can do this: parents, kids, coworkers, families,” Doherty says. It’s intergenerational fun. It makes a great birthday party, retirement party, Christmas party and a date night. Bot-

tom line — anyone can come, you don’t have to bring anything, and at the end everyone goes home with a fully completed piece of art. “One lady brought her retired dad and one young lady came with her grandmother — it was so sweet for them to do this together.” Blooming on Canvas is flexible and

adaptable. You can choose a session by the artist, the painting or the restaurant, and you can come solo or in a group. They are looking for more artists, but Doherty notes they are not there to teach a class, they’re there to facilitate a fun, twohour paint experience. The Blooming on

Canvas experience is a big benefit to artists, she notes. “It’s a huge satisfaction seeing people love the experience, and getting to share your own passion and inspiration. You get to see people giving themselves permission not to be intimidated by art: it’s very powerful.” Hamilton adds the experience is akin to getting back to being a child delighted by painting a picture. “People don’t feel intimidated by this because it’s so easy and so fun,”Hamilton says. “You see smiles all around the room. Our facilitators are artists themselves and they walk you through it. “There is no competition; each piece is unique. I believe that creative thing is in all of us. I like the breaks when people get up and walk around and see what the others are painting: it’s very inspiring and affirming.”

Participants don’t have to be artists to enjoy Blooming on Canvas. “We’re looking for people who say they ‘can’t paint,’” Doherty says. “If you think of yourself as an artist, that’s great, and if you think you’re not, that’s even better.” For more information about Blooming on Canvas, visit www. bloomingoncanvas. com, email blooming o n c a nva s @ g m a i l . com, phone 250-3980300 or follow them on Facebook ‘Blooming on Canvas — Painting Parties.’

Rodeo judge officiates Calgary Stampede Greg Sabatino Staff Writer A life competing in rodeo has led to a judging career that took Williams Lake’s Bernie Rivet to this year’s Calgary Stampede. A bull rider by trade, injuries over the years formed a natural progression into rodeo judging for Rivet. “My first year judging was 1988,” Rivet said. “I was out with a broken wrist and took a judging clinic in town hosted by Bruce and Tim Rolph and Joan Gentles. “Then I rode again, then got hurt, then judged again, and it went on like that until I retired from bull riding in 2004.” Rivet started steer riding when he was nine, then graduated to the B.C. High School Rodeo Association, the B.C. Rodeo Association and, eventually, the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association for a bull riding career that spanned roughly 25 years. After judging in the BCRA for several years Roy Call from C+ Rodeos helped Rivet get his start with the CPRA in 2005. He judged during last year’s Calgary Stampede and again this

Williams Lake’s Bernie Rivet has been a judge with the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association since 2005 — an occupation that’s taken him to the past two Calgary Stampedes to officiate. past July for the annual rodeo, which saw more than a million people pass through the gates at the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.”

He’s also been a rodeo judge at the Williams Lake Stampede since 2006. “Calgary’s like the NHL all-star game,” he said. “It’s pretty electric

there and a pretty cool setting. You’re pretty dry mouthed when you first walk out in the arena — definitely a bucket list rodeo you set your goals on when you start and try to reach, and I guess I have.” To become a rodeo judge interested individuals must take a judging clinic through the CPRA and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in Las Vegas. A refresher course is offered every three years for judges. A rodeo judge, who often isn’t noticed, must fully understand each and every event and be knowledgable about all bucking stock and be able to judge each and every ride separately. Rivet also isn’t afraid to pass along his knowledge of judging as he’s hosted several refresher courses for the BCRA over the years. Asked what he likes most about judging, Rivet said it keeps him involved in the sport he has a passion for. “I’ve rodeoed since I was nine and when I first started I felt there was a need for judging and I just kept going,” he said. “It definitely keeps you busy, that’s for sure.”

The Williams Lake team participating in the Cops for Cancer Tour de North bike ride from Dawson Creek (Sept. 15) to Williams Lake (Sept. 21) is hosting a fundraising barbecue on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Golfers tee up wins at Simon Fraser Golf Tournament Williams Lake was well represented during the weekend in Prince George at the Ladies Simon Fraser Golf Tournament. Seven golfers — Barb Vincent, Kelly Flaherty, Peggi Pukacz, Peggy Menning, Stephanie Ferguson, Mabel Cornwall and Lisa Kerley — competed in the 76-player event, a two-day indi-

vidual stroke play tournament held annually at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club. Three of the players finished in the top five overall, while five landed in the top five in their respective fields. Flaherty fell just shy of the overall low gross winner, finishing two strokes back of the leader to finish in second place.

Vincent, playing in flight one, fired her way to first place as the low gross winner (third low gross overall). Kerley, meanwhile, was first-place low net winner in flight one (tied for fifth overall low gross). Menning shot to a fourth-place low net result in flight two, while Ferguson was third-place low gross

for flight five. Based on their results, Flaherty qualified from the north central zone for the 2016 BC Women’s Senior Championship to be held at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, while Kerley qualified for the 2016 BC Mid Amateur Championship to be held at a to-be-announced location.

Trio helps win Western Championship The Prairie Wolfpack gave Team BC’s under-18 women’s rugby club all they could handle, but B.C. — armed with Williams Lake’s Carleigh Walters, Emma Pfleiderer and Laura Pfleiderer — persevered to capture the Western Championship. The tournament, held July 31 and Aug. 2 in Kelowna, featured a two-game series between the two sides with the overall points winner being awarded the championship. All-star representatives were selected from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to form the Prairie Wolfpack, while Walters, Emma and Laura were selected based off their performances at BC Rugby selection camps earlier this summer. The Wolfpack struck

first during day one of the competition, winning 27-20. B.C. answered back the following day, however, taking a 25-17 victory to win the overall points race by a razorthin margin, 45-44. “[The] games were good battles,” Walters said. “Great end to end action, contribution from all team members, several excellent steals, solid tackles and a few nail-biting try line stands.” The Western Championship also featured senior women, under-18 men and under-16 men’s divisions where each of the B.C. squads emerged triumphant. The lakecity trio will now have their sights set on an upcoming challenge match against an under-19 team from the U.S. on Aug. 20.

Playoff format to change in 2015/16 CIHL season A format change to the 2016 Central Interior Hockey League playoffs will see all seven teams compete in the postseason. The change was decided upon during the CIHL annual general meeting in May. Last season, the bottom two West Division teams and the bottom East Division teams were eliminated from playoff contention following the regular season. This year, the top team in the East Division between the Williams Lake Stampeders, the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks will receive a first-round bye and will then face the win-

ner of the second and third seeds in the second round. In the West Division between the Prince Rupert Rampage, the Terrace River Kings, the Kitimat Ice Demons and the Smithers Steeleheads, the first seed will play the fourth and the second seed will meet the third in the first round. The winning teams will then square off with the emerging two teams from the second round division finals meeting in the CIHL playoff final. No new teams are entering the league this year, and no teams are withdrawing.

Terrace River Kings’ manager Ray Hallock was elected the new CIHL president and will take over presidential duties from past president J.C. Brown of Smithers. Kitimat’s Cliff Madsen will be the league vice president. The CIHL, however, is still looking for a treasurer and a league sponsor. Additionally, the Williams Lake Stampeders will be recognized for its 80th season of existence. The number of regular season games will remain at 16. All teams also now have the option of icing two referees and two linesmen.

INDEX IN BRIEF

Alice Rose Westover passed away peacefully at Joseph Creek Care Village on Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 89 years of age. Alice was born to the late Peter and Christina Jorgenson on December 15, 1925 in Cudwor th, Saskatchewan and was pre-deceased by her husband Bill Westover (1988), her daughter Donna-Lee (1959) and her granddaughter, AnnMarie Westover (1974). Alice is survived by 5 children: Bill (Vickie) Westover, Dave (Marce) Westover, Bob (Lois) Westover, Dale (Sandy) Westover and Pat (Daryl) Klitzke; 13 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Her husband Bill was a saw filer and she followed him as they moved through-out the province from Creston to Cranbrook, Tahsis, Nanaimo, Radium, Williams Lake and back to Cranbrook. Each time they moved, she joked they were taking their furniture on another holiday. She was a loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. Mom had a great sense of humor and loved a good joke. She also enjoyed music and loved to sing. She would light up a room with her smile and fully enjoyed life. She had a gift for writing poetry about meaningful things in her life and could recite them word for word decades later. Mom worked as a chamber maid for many years and received the “Employee of the Year Awardâ€? on more than one occasion. In her spare time she enjoyed fishing small lakes with her husband Bill. The family would like to thank the staff at Joseph Creek for their caring and support. She was loved and will be missed by all who knew her. In accordance with her wishes there will be no service. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
