The Timber Kings show on the Home and Garden Network continues to thrill audiences and build fans worldwide. Many of those fans made a special trip to the sports shop at Canadian Tire Sunday where Pioneer Log Homes of BC owner André Chevigny and builder Joel Roorda autographed pictures and talked with fans.
Canadian Tire owner Jim Anderson said the special event was held to promote the Timber Kings show Sunday night that was all about Pioneer Log Homes building the impressive log structure for the Williams Lake store. Anderson said there was a steady stream of visitors during the three-and-a-half hour event. Visitors were treated to free hot dogs and drinks as well as free fishing lures and Canadian Tire hunting hats.
Among the fans chatting with the stars were Rob Sandrock and Lindsey Newell. Lindsey is originally from Ireland and was getting pictures of the stars signed to send to her father in Ireland who is also a carpenter and is interested in the work of the company. She is also having Pioneer make a custom picture frame for her best friend’s wedding which she will attend in Ireland this spring. The custom frame will have the
names of her friends carved on it along with the date they are getting married. Joel said he has worked on projects in Scotland several times and will work on his first project in Ireland this year. Several other local venues and people have been featured in the hit show including the Cariboo Memorial Hospital, the Cariboo Bethel Church and Brock Hoyer and the Williams Lake Dirt Rider’s Association’s motocross track.

Concerns aired over bid to burn ties Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer About 175 people crammed into the cafeteria at Thompson Rivers University Thursday evening to learn more about Atlantic Power’s proposal to upgrade its biomass-fueled electricity plant in Williams Lake to burn used railway ties. The proposal is to add up to a 50 per cent mix of railway ties to the wood waste from the forest industry that currently fuels the plant. But it seemed that most people left the meeting with more questions than answers. The ad hoc group of concerned citizens organizing the meeting planned a short information session from 6 to 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 25 but many people ended up staying on and talking about the issue in small groups for another hour and a half after that. “I’m happy about two things,” said Bette McLennan, one of the organizing committee members. “A lot of people came out and a lot of people went home stirred up about the issue.” Bruce Mack moderated the meeting.
Jim Hilton talked about research he has done on Atlantic Power’s studies related to potential air quality problems associated with burning railway ties that have been treated with creosote, a known carcinogen. Bert Groenenberg talked about the air quality monitoring systems in the city. In their own research, Mack said the committee couldn’t find any clear answers about how the project would impact the city’s air quality. The speakers encouraged people to use the avenues available to them to voice their concerns. Information papers provided advised people to send letters of concern to authorizations.north@gov.bc.ca. They also referred people to a question and answer forum at the Atlantic Power website at www.atlanticpower. com/williams-lake. People were also advised that they could see letters that local people had written about the proposed project by going to the website breatheasywilliamslake. org/railway-ties/. People expressed concern about how the Ministry of Environ-
Gaeil Farrar photo
The TRU cafeteria was filled to capacity last Thursday evening with people wanting to learn more about Atlantic Power’s proposal to burn railway ties at its Williams Lake facility. ment could make a decision on the project without more research. Some people called for a health risk assessment study to be done. Information sheets also provided some technical information about air pollutants such as dioxin, furan, chlorophenols and various sizes of airborne particulates. There was lots of back and forth debate over whether Atlantic Power’s proposed upgrades to burn the rail ties would actually work to prevent a deterioration in the city’s air quality. Officially, Atlantic Power was not repre-
sented at the meeting, however, one employee, who said he was there for his own information and didn’t wish to be identified by name, tried to answer some of the many questions people had about how the system would work. He said he trusted that Atlantic Power would meet environmental regulations. Others said the current regulations are old and don’t meet today’s expectations for clean air and a healthy environment. There were also concerns that leaching from the ash piles left by the burning of rail ties would have a detri-
mental impact on Williams Lake’s already fragile aquifer. There was also debate back and forth on whether the operational system proposed by Atlantic Power was the same type of system that was rejected by the communities of Kamloops and Salmon Arm. At least three people who live near the Atlantic Power plant said they had noticed a reduction in air quality around their homes since the plant went into operation in 1993. There were complaints about an oily residue on their vehicles periodically; waking up
with sore throats; and having an oily, chemical taste in their mouths. There were also complaints at the meeting about a noxious odour coming from the Williams Lake Atlantic Power’s current woodchip pile that they said caused sore throats. Peter Epp, who was not one of the formal presenters, made a passionate presentation about how the plant was originally supposed to be located up on a mountain away from the core community where any residue from burning would blow away from the city. He said the plant should never have been
located in the Williams Lake valley which is subject to thermal inversions. Others provided supporting comments that plants burning railway ties should only be located in rural areas well away from community settlements. There was also debate over the economics of the proposal in relation to bringing in waste wood to burn in the plant that is now left in the bush by logging operations. One person suggested the city should just let people have a vote on the issue. People also wanted to know why Atlantic Power and the city didn’t have representatives at the meeting and what local doctors thought about the proposal. Mack said invitations were sent to these groups. He said Atlantic Power had agreed to make a presentation but later rescinded the offer. Sign-up sheets were also sent around the room for people who wanted to be kept informed about future community meetings on the issue and receive information the committee may discover in its research.
Inquest called into the death of Yunesit’in youth Angie Mindus Staff Writer The life and tragic death of an 18-year-old boy from the Yunesit’in First Nation will be the subject of a coroner’s inquest next month in Kamloops. Jacob George Se-
tah had been held in a secure ward at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for six days in June 2014 when he was able to flee from the ward and make his way to the top of a nearby parking structure. Kamloops RCMP members were on scene
when the teen sustained fatal injuries June 15, said Barb McLintock of the BC Coroners Service. The fact that Setah was being held against his will under the Mental Health Act at the time of his death and that he was only 18 fac-
tored into the need for an inquest, McLintock said. She added the inquest will be looking into the role of the hospital, examine information from the police on scene and also look into Setah’s history and possibly make recommenda-
tions aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future. She said an investigation by the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. was conducted prior to the inquest because the death occurred in the presence of police.
Tsilhqot’in National Chief Joe Alphonse said it is critical that mental health issues be taken seriously and he hopes findings from the inquiry will serve to help others. “It’s very unfortunate a life was lost,” Alphonse said Tuesday.
“But (conducting the inquest) is a way to honour him and ensure anyone else living with these challenges will get the help they need.” McLintock said the inquest will begin April 11 at the Kamloops Courthouse and is expected to last five days.

Pub fight sends two to hospital Angie Mindus Staff Writer Two men were sent to hospital with serious injuries following an altercation in Williams Lake early Sunday morning. According to Staff Sgt. Del Byron of the Williams Lake RCMP,
police were called to the parking lot of the Overlander Pub at 1:12 a.m. after receiving a 9-1-1 call of a fight. Police arrived to find the victims, ages 20 and 21, injured and in need of medical assistance. Byron said both victims were taken to hos-
pital. Witnesses reported that the victims were assaulted by three to four suspects who fled to a nearby taxi and left the scene. The matter is still under investigation, however, Byron said police suspect the incident was drug-related.

RCMP scanners in Williams Lake went quiet last month. Staff Sgt. Del Byron confirmed the local detachment made the switch from the regular channels to a digital system in February. The change means the
general public will no longer be able to listen in on conversations between dispatch and officers. Byron said he welcomes the technology upgrades, as it will protect the integrity of police investigations and help stop “the bad guys” from knowing what the police are up to.

NEWS Councillor welcomes attention on crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake city council’s support for GPS tracking of prolific offenders has garnered the attention he hoped it would, said Coun. Scott Nelson Tuesday. Last week at their regular council meting, Nelson, along with Mayor Walt Cobb, Councillors Craig Smith and Laurie Walters endorsed a resolution supporting GPS tracking on prolific and repeat offenders who are considered risks to their communities. Councillors Ivan Bonnell, Jason Ryll and Sue Zacharias were absent. “It certainly picked up the attention we wanted,” Nelson said. “It reached all the way from communities like Williams Lake to Prince George, to Vancouver and all the way over to Ottawa.” When asked if the idea to implant GPS tracking chips into prolific offenders was embarrassing, Nelson responded with a firm no.
Mayor Walt Cobb “No. What I’m embarrassed of and frustrated about is we can’t seem to get rid of this top crime ranking,” he said. “Ultimately, the goal is to push our name off the top of that list. If someone else has a better idea then bring it forward.” In passing the resolution last week, council said they wanted to raise awareness that a small group of people are causing 80 per cent of the chaos in communities. Nelson said he stands by his suggestion that injecting GPS tracking chips could be an option. “If you can put a
real time GPS on a telephone, into a vehicle, into animals there is no reason in the world why we can’t put a better system in place, such as real time GPS tracking on prolific offenders,” Nelson said, adding he didn’t care if it’s injected in the arm, the leg or the behind. “I want to make sure we know where these people are 24/7, 365 days of the year.” Scott said last Monday afternoon’s robbery of a 14-yearold’s BMX at gunpoint has shone a spotlight on the serious crime problem facing Williams Lake. “We cannot have the RCMP everywhere 24/7. There are prolific offenders out there that don’t care about Williams Lake, communities or individuals so we have to take the next step to provide protection for our community.” Cobb said although the media’s frenzy on Nelson’s suggestion of inserting chips “got everything out of whack,” for the most part the response to council’s
Councillor Scott Nelson resolution has been good. “We’ve had calls from our MP Todd Doherty who attended some of our crime
task force meetings we had in the community before he was elected,” Cobb said. “I’m meeting with him on Saturday and we will set up a game plan before he meets with the federal Minister of Justice next week.” Cobb said the Boys and Girls Club in Williams Lake is looking at the possibility of co-ordinating adult chaperones for the skate park in the summer months. “I don’t know if it will work but if people are willing to try something like that, why not?”

As it happened, her mother (one of the potential wheelbarrowers) overheard the conversation. She pointed out I had threatened to visit said grandchildren when they had homes of their own and jump on their beds and eat all the good stuff in their fridges (payback time) and I haven’t done it. Yet. Jumping on beds might be a challenge but I certainly could raid their fridges. *** Quesnel council French is seeking a brandConnection ing consultant to Diana French help the city find a new identity and shed its reputation as a “rough-and-tumble logging town.” I hope they have better luck than we did a few years ago when we nearly became the Republic of Life. Question: What’s wrong with the logging or cowboy image? *** Haven’t heard any yowling yet about B.C. car insurance rates increasing yet but plenty of people are peeved about increased hydro and health insurance rates. Critics say B.C. Medical Services Plan premiums are a regressive form of taxation that puts some $2.5 billion in the government’s coffers. It certainly helps balance the budget but it puts another dent in people’s pocket books. According to B.C. Finance Minister Michael de Jong, low-income families in B.C. might pay more than double the total tax they would in Alberta or Quebec, but less than they would in other provinces. Mr. de Jong says B.C. had the lowest provincial personal income taxes for individuals earning up to $122,000 in 2016, and that in most wage brackets, we are second or third lowest in the country. However, according to The Tyee, a table at the back of the Budget and Fiscal Plan — 2016/17 to 2018/19 shows poorer families actually do worse in B.C. when the overall tax picture is considered. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
o you have young children or grandchildren? You can help create successful futures for them by accessing the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant to kick-start their post-secondary education savings. To be eligible for the $1,200, children must have been born in 2007 or later, and they must be resident in B.C., along with a parent or guardian. Families have three years, or until the day before their child’s ninth birthday, to submit an application for the grant when their child becomes eligible. One investment we will make as part of Budget 2016, within our three-year fiscal plan, is $39 million to extend the BC Training and Education Savings Grant to include children MLA born in 2006. ExMusings panding this grant to include children Coralee Oakes born in 2006 will help make postsecondary education and training more affordable and accessible for up to 40,000 eligible kids. With the $1,200 grant and an investment of $50 a month, savings could grow to $12,000 in 13 years (based on a 3.5 per cent annual growth rate). Growth of funds will depend on the amount invested and actual returns. It is anticipated that in the next decade, about 80 per cent of the job openings in B.C. will require some form of post-secondary education and training. Our government wants to help British Columbians access skills training opportunities so they can get good-paying, family-supporting jobs and participate in B.C.’s strong, growing and diverse economy. Whether your child dreams of becoming a nurse, a welder, or an engineer, they can achieve their goals through post-secondary education. The B.C. training and Education Savings Grant is a great way to help our students start saving for post-secondary education. To access the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, visit The Williams Lake and District Credit Union or the Bank of Montreal. For more information about the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, call 1-888-276-3624 or visit www.gov.bc.ca/ BCTESG. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and the Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction.

Our Viewpoint
Pets deserve kindness The pets owned by British Columbians are usually well cared for. Whether they have pampered indoor animals or muddypawed working dogs and barn cats, people generally take their health and well being seriously. When there are incidents of animal abuse and neglect, the general population is shocked. The death of six dogs in a dog walker’s truck caused an uproar. More recently, an alleged puppy mill was busted in Langley’s Glen Valley, and a large number of cats and more than a dozen dogs seized from a breeder and kennel operator on Colebrook Road just across the municipal boundary in Surrey. This week, the B.C. government announced changes to the code of practices for kennel operators and cat and dog breeders. The new rules will provide for minimum space for animals, a duty to provide immediate veterinary care, and may include proactive monitoring and enforcement for breeders. That last part sounds like a good idea — a few random inspections could go

a long way to clean out the dark corners of the industry. More than a third of Canadians own a cat or a dog, according to a survey last year by the Canadian Animal Health Institute. We owe it to our pets to take good care of them, and to ensure that care is being taken of the industries that supply us with pets. Animals come into our lives from reputable breeders, from friends with litters, and from animal shelters. They become part of our families, providing companionship. All they ask is food and shelter and care, and sometimes a tossed ball or a warm lap on which to sleep. People sometimes question why the public seems to get angrier about crimes against animals than about violent crimes involving adult humans. The simple reason is that, like children, animals didn’t make any choices to be where they are. They are entirely at the mercy of their owners. We owe it to them to ensure that their owners do not fail them. - Black Press

MORE VIEWPOINTS Atlantic Power extends Question of the week What do you think of tour invitations to public Editor:
We understand the public has concerns about emissions from the plant and their impacts on human health and the airshed. Air Modeling Study was completed by RWDI, an independent engineering firm. It was designed in accordance with the technical requirements specified by the Ministry of Environment (MoE), and in direct consultation with the MoE’s air quality meteorologist. The model used by RWDI is widely accepted throughout North America. While not required to do so, Atlantic Power (APWL) took the additional step of commissioning a Human Health Impact Study. Both studies concluded that emissions from burning rail-ties at a 50 per cent mixture are within the applicable B.C. standards or, if no B.C. standards exist, Ontario standards, and do not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment. The current B.C. limit for dioxins and furans is 100 parts per billion (ppb). A stack test of plant emissions from a 100 per cent mix-
ture of rail-ties confirm that dioxin and furan emissions would be less than 3.4 ppb — or 3.4 per cent of the limit established to protect human health and the environment. Some commentators have suggested the level of dioxins and furans in the ash created from burning rail ties would increase 1,500 per cent. What those commentators are not telling you is that the total level of these constituents would still be just 0.394 parts per billion — or less than 0.5 per cent of the 100 ppb limit established to protect the public. The provincially permitted limit for measured particulate emissions (which include both PM10 and PM2.5) is 50 milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3). The emissions from the plant over the course of the last 13 years have average 6.3 mg/m3, or 12.5 per cent of that limit. The stack test using 100 per cent rail ties showed no increase in PM compared to our current biomass fuel supply. We hope that the above information provides some context within which to view our ongoing commitment to transparency in this process, and our commitment
to the human, environmental, social and economic health of this community. As part of our ongoing engagement, APWL will be hosting a series of public tour opportunities in the month of March. Tours take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. between March 15 and March 30. All are welcome. Book a tour by emailing wlppinfo@atlanticpower. com. The Air Modelling Study and Health Impacts studies that were done to assess our project are both available at the public library. A full Q&A document from the permitting process can be found at www.atlanticpower.com/williamslake. Atlantic Power signed a formal community benefits agreement with the Williams Lake Indian Band in January. We have also received letters of support for our application from City Council, the Cariboo Regional District, the Williams Lake Indian Band and the Chamber of Commerce. Mark Blezard Plant Manager
Political correctness needs to stop Editor: I read a newspaper article last week about Williams Lake. It concerns the implant of GPS trackers into prolific offenders. The Horsefly Women’s Institute thanks everyone who participated in our annual fundraiser, “The Sharon Thomas Annual Lunch and Silent Auction,” held on Dec. 5, 2015. The event was a huge success and would not be possible without the generous support from the numerous Williams Lake and Horsefly businesses, as well as individual donors. The funds raised through this event help support the Horsefly community and its organizations.

Steven Palmer in concert Friday at St. Andrew’s

Steven Palmer
Gospel-folk singer Steven Palmer will be performing in concert at St. Andrew’s United Church in Williams Lake on Friday, March 4 starting at 7 p.m. Born in Edmonton, Palmer began jamming with friends in high school and formed his first band, The Time Machine, in 1966. The band tried to play a lot of Wilson Picket and Otis Redding soul music to some very puzzled small town
dance crowds, Palmer says in his biography. “My next groups were more successful, playing our original psychedelic-folk rock at light shows and be-ins,” Palmer says. One of these groups, The Warp Factor, got to open locally and regionally for several ‘name’ acts of that time. He says Led Zeppelin was probably the biggest ‘name’ they opened for, but they enjoyed meeting and hanging
out with The Who, Spencer Davis Group, Eric Clapton (Cream), Jesse Colin Young and The Guess Who. Through the 1970s Palmer became a touring guitarist with lounge and night club acts. In the 1980s he attended Capilano College to study voice and arranging. “After that I started a career as a guitarist/ vocalist at first leading my own wedding bands then progressing to solo

Over the past few years it has grown into a high energy genre-smashing party experience. Folks from the Cariboo might remember them lighting the place up when they headlined Saturday night at Arts on the Fly 2016. They’ve busted their backs playing festivals all over B.C., including a
coveted spot at Tall Tree Music Festival. Since rocking the AOF stage last summer they’ve finished a brand new record, Sentient. They’ll be bringing their set to the Arts Centre this Friday March 4. Opening the night is the premier gig for local soon-to-be-favourites Bush Party. I must admit I was
worried when they told me the name they had settled on, but was pleasantly surprised to see their bizarre and self-reflexive youtube video, Flock O’ Sausage Links. I can’t wait to see these cats in their glory. There is a video of the band on faceb o o k . c o m / g ro u p s / safetymeetingwil-

Parade of Choirs an enchanting afternoon of music Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The annual Parade of Choirs is not only a great way to lift your spirits in the doldrums of winter, but a wonderful fundraiser for Cariboo Memorial Hospital. The Parade of Choirs helps to raise funds for the Hough Memorial Cancer Society which purchases equipment for the hospital used in the early detection of cancer. At the end of the concert held Sunday afternoon at Cariboo Bethel Church, Hough Memorial president Bob McIntosh announced that the event had raised $3,069.75. He thanked the community and the “choir of angels” performing for supporting the event. “As it takes a community to raise a child, it takes a community to defeat cancer and together we can do that,” McIntosh said. Since 1972 Hough Memorial has raised close to $3 million to purchase cancer detection equipment for the hospital. Over the past seven years the an-

Rape topic of poem by local politician Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Cariboo Regional District Area F representative Joan Sorley was raped as a young teen and is so passionate about raising awareness about this problem in our society that she is not afraid to speak out about her experience and write a poem to raise awareness.
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Joan Sorley is hoping a poem she wrote and recorded about her experience of being raped as a teenager will help raise awareness. “I’ve sent copies of my poem, The Rape Joke, and letters about what happened to me when I was raped 50 years ago to Prime Minister Trudeau and
Premier Clark,” Sorley said during an interview in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Regional District where she is a director. “The reason I recorded my poem is because I am really angry. People listening to the recording will hear the anger in my voice and that’s really important.” When she wrote her poem, it emerged in an hour, she said.
CONGRATULATIONS!
154 athletes from Cariboo - North East competed at the 2016 BC Winter Games bringing home 49 medals. Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions. See photos, videos, and results at BCGAMES.ORG
In the poem she repeatedly uses the line “the joke is,” as she tells the story of how she was raped by a man she babysat for. He came home early and alone one afternoon when she was babysitting at his house. When he tried to make her drink a beer, she resisted and said she was taking medication, a comment that would be used against her later. “The joke is he got four years, I got life,” she states in the poem. As for the title, she chose it because she’d read other poems by rape victims who have different stories to tell, but all use The Rape Joke as their title. Sorley first spoke publicly about rape during the Union of BC Municipalities Conference held in Vancouver last September. Delegates at the conference were speaking to a motion Sorley helped pen calling for a task force to determine how to end the rape culture that is “pervasive in schools, universities, workplaces and elsewhere across Canada.” The union voted overwhelmingly in favour of the motion and delegates also voted to ask the task force to look at ways to improve reporting, arrest and conviction rates across the country. In her letters to Trudeau and Clark she asks them both to support the resolution. She also states the courts re-traumautize survivors by “in effect putting them on trial despite laws which pro-
hibit such tactics.” “Jurisdictions such as Ontario and Great Britain have established separate courts for sexual assault cases,” she also noted in the letters. Shortly before Sorley came forward at UBCM she said someone posted a joke on Facebook about rape. “This guy posts jokes all the time, but this time it was a rape joke,” Sorley said. “I struggled with it and then posted back ‘there’s nothing funny about rape.’ He came on and said ‘oh don’t be so sensitive, nobody really got hurt, and if you can’t take a joke,’ I forget the exact words.” After she unfriended him on Facebook, Sorley became very angry. As she listened to the coverage of the Jian Gomeshi case her desire to speak out further was fuelled. One day she sat down and began to write a letter to her 14-year-old self, which she eventually read out at a Changemakers breakfast in Williams Lake. “Then I was kind of processing after that because you never get over these things. You never know when things come out. You are processing and reprocessing.” It was the poem that unfolded next. “The joke is bad guys are still raping although we call it alleged sexual assault,” Sorley writes in the poem. “The joke is 50 years later a reporter asked me if I felt like I got justice. The joke is I was 14.”

Part one: Paddle-wheelers on the Fraser Barry Sale Smart 55
On Highway 97, just south of Macalister, there is a pullout overlooking the Fraser River. There you can find one of those large green and gold tourist plaques, placed at that spot many years ago by the Province of B.C. The words on it read as follows: Paddle-wheels North "Down river lay the perilous and unnavigable canyon. Up river the Fraser was swift and strong, but sternwheelers could travelfor 400 miles from Soda Creek. Men and supplies embarked here in the 1860s for the fabulous Cariboo goldfields. Later, as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was forged across the province, nine paddle-wheelers formed a lifeline to the north.” Actually, between 1863 and 1921, there were 12 paddle-wheel steamers which operated on the upper Fraser River. They provided a lifeline to the communities along their routes by delivering mail, hauling freight, bringing in new settlers, and supporting the development of roads and railway lines.
They also provided access to the gold-rich areas in the Cariboo, Stikene, and Omineca regions of B.C.’s Interior. Although the towns of Soda Creek, Quesnel, and Fort George were the main ports of call, some routes went all the way up the Fraser to Tete Jaune Cache, up the Nechako to Vanderhoof and Fort Fraser, and up the Stuart to Fort St. James and Takla Landing. By 1862, Gustavus Wright, the contractor responsible for the construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road, had realized that there was considerable potential for a water route north to Quesnel. Thus, he planned to make Soda Creek a freight terminus, and he put up the funds to build a small sternwheeler, the Enterprise. She was constructed between Soda Creek and Alexanadria and launched in the spring of 1863. She plied the

The voyage north proved to be so rough on the little vessel that she was abandoned after reaching her destination, since it would have been far too expensive to repair her well enough to be put into reliable service in the new area. In 1868 a new steam-powered sternwheeler, the Victoria, was built in Quesnel, and the following year, she began service on the Soda Creek to Quesnel route. She served on this route for 17 years, until 1886 when she was retired and berthed at

Steamboat Landing near Alexandria. There, she was allowed to decay and within a few years, nothing remained. For about 10 years, there was no riverboat service from Soda Creek North. The Cariboo gold rush was over, and the economy was poor. There was little demand for boat service. Then, in the mid1890s, a number of prominent businessmen formed a consortium which they named the North B.C. Navigation Company. In 1896, they constructed the Charlotte which was launched in Quesnel in August of that year. Her captain was Frank Odin, a wellknown and well-respected river man. He piloted her for three years until he died of a heart attack while at the helm. He was only 35 years old. His grave can still be seen at the Soda Creek Cemetery. The Charlotte was the only steamer on the North Fraser River for
some 13 years. In July of 1910, she struck an underwater reef in Fort George Canyon and began to sink. The captain managed to beach her and there was no loss of life. Later, the vessel was salvaged, but the hull was badly waterlogged, and she was towed to Quesnel, where she was abandoned. In 1909, when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railways announced that their trans Canada rail line would be crossing the Fraser River at Fort George, the building boom began once again. A pioneer merchant in Quesnel, Telesphore Marion, commissioned another sternwheeler to be built there. She was named the City of Quesnel, and it was launched in the spring of that year. She proved to be very heavy and sat too low in the water, so it was brought out, lengthened, and re-launched in September under the new name of the Quesnel. See FRASER Page A18

She was probably the only paddle-wheeler that was launched twice in one year! Another company, the Fort George Lumber and Navigation Company, saw an opportunity to service the Fraser River north and east of Fort George. In 1909 a smaller riverboat, the Nechacco, was built. She was later renamed the Chilco, and she had the distinction of being the first sternwheeler to navigate the treacherous Grand Canyon of the Fraser. Sadly, in April of 1911, she blew a steam pipe, lost power and drifted into an ice jam in the Cottonwood Canyon. She capsized and disappeared with no trace. The same company built another small vessel, the Fort Fraser, which pioneered the route up the Fraser to Tete Juane Cache in 1910, and which also made several trips up the Nechako River. After four years of off and on service, she was pulled out of the river and her hull replaced. She was renamed the Doctor, and she served for another year before fading into obscurity

A little larger than the Fort Fraser, she had 22 staterooms, each containing two berths, as well as two family staterooms. With her 13-inch draft, it could travel on very shallow waterways. Unfortunately she didn’t handle canyons and rapids very well and often had to be winched through. On her maiden voyage, she was badly damaged by rocks in the Fort George Canyon.

The crib games run every Monday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. and Friday evenings beginning at 7 p.m. Allan likened participating in the games to being a social butterfly. “The butterflies move and the moths stay put,” he chuckled. Last Monday afternoon there were 18 people participating in the card games and everyone seemed to be having some serious fun. For people wanting to take it to the next level, a crib tournament is planned for Sunday, March 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. There will be cash prizes for the first, second and third place winners who will play in a round robin format. And for a cost of $15 a person a meal is included and will be served at 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tickets for the tournament are available at the Seniors' Activity Centre, 176 North Fourth Avenue, 250392-7946.

Stuart McLellan celebrates after winning the Canadian Professional Boxing Council 154-pound title last Friday night in Calgary after a 10-round split decision over Calgary’s Janks Trotter.
McLellan captures Canadian title Defeats Janks Trotter to win CPBC 154-pound belt Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Stuart McLellan can now add the title of Canadian champion to his boxing resumé. The Williams Lake pugilist captured the Canadian Professional Boxing Council 154-pound title in a split decision Friday following a 10-round war with Janks Trotter in his home town at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary. Judges scored the bout 99-91 Trotter, 99-91 McLellan and a more reasonable 96-94 McLellan during the event, Teofista Boxing Series 18. “It wasn’t easy,” McLellan told the Tribune Tuesday. “I stuck to exactly what my game plan was — to move for four or five rounds until he started slowing down a bit then start picking up the pace.” McLellan avoided Trotter’s power early in the fight, before settling in with a quick and pre-
When you’re young you’re always thinking about world titles, but after it evaded me all this time it means a lot to get it. ” - Stuart McLellan cise counterpunching strategy in the later rounds to tilt the bout in his favour. “He was very predictable,” McLellan said, noting he was able to take advantage of his opponent charging forward the entire fight. “I think the difference was he’s never been 10 rounds and assumes he’s going to knock everyone out and usually does.” With the win McLellan improves to a professional record of 13 wins, two losses and three
draws. Trotter, meanwhile, slips to nine wins, three losses and one draw. McLellan also ascends to a top-20 world ranking in the 154-pound division, a weight class he moved up to for the fight. “This is a really good weight for me,” he said. “One-hundred-fiftyfour is where I feel comfortable.” Considered a large underdog by many heading into the fight, McLellan said he was confident. He attributed some of his success
to former Commonwealth Games boxing champion, Edmonton’s Tony Badea, who McLellan worked with two weeks prior to the fight. “That really paid off,” he said. “I had faith and knew I was going to win the whole time. I think the biggest upset was it went the distance.” He also thanked his corner for their work during the fight: Eric De Guzman, Williams Lake Boxing Club coach and dad Gary McLellan and Chris Cousineau. “They laid it down perfectly,” he said. Asked what it means to him to become a Canadian champion, McLellan said it’s a good feeling. “When you’re young you’re always thinking about world titles,” he said. “But after it [a Canadian championships] evaded me all this time it means a lot to get it on the third try. It means a lot because I didn’t fight a nobody for it.”
Registration is underway for the second Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District’s Capital One Race for Kids, scheduled for June 4. The event, which drew rave reviews from participants last year, will see teams of four (18 and older) travel to registered checkpoints spread around the city where teams will have to solve clues and complete checkpoint challenges.

Williams Lake Blue Fin Isabelle Groundwater swims a leg of butterfly during the mixed 10 and under 100-metre individual medley.
Blue Fins host successful meet The Williams Lake Blue Fins Swim Club made big splashes during the weekend at its annual home Cariboo Dental Swim Meet. The Blue Fins hosted about 70 out-of-town athletes and 50 of its own members in what Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said was a very successful meet. “Most of the swimmers achieved personal bests in every swim they did while 20 Blue Fins swimmers tried their skills in their very first swim meet ever,” Webb said. Swimmers with 100 per cent best times from other competitions were: Peyton Bailey, Steven Campbell, Brooklyn Carrier, Rebecca Elefson, Andrew Haseldine, Gabrielle Knox, Isabelle
Knox, Maya Nowotny, Ashton Petruk, Mikah Stewart and Shaylee Stewart. Swimmers winning events during the weekend are as follows: Kelsey Blokland: 50-metre backstroke and 50-metre fly Coral Choi: 100-metre individual medley, 200-metre backstroke, 200-metre breaststroke, 50-metre breaststroke and 50-metre freestyle Taylor Fitzgerald: 400-metre freestyle, 50-metre backstroke, 50-metre breaststroke, 50-metre fly Cameryn Fowler: 50-metre kick Jorga Gilpin: 50-metre kick Andrew Haseldine: 200-metre butterfly Eric Haseldine: 100-metre IM, 50-metre breaststroke,

Additionally, Abby Webb qualified in the 200-metre butterfly for her first ‘AA’ provincial time and will need one more to attend the meet in June. “Also notable swimmers who had a breakthrough meet were Ashton Petruk and Rebecca Elefson,” he said. Webb said he was happy with the meet and the community support. “We had people come down from Quesnel to help our club officiate and, of course, our major meet sponsor Cariboo Dental Clinic helped support us immensely,” he said. “Many thanks to so many people who made our meet a huge success for every swimmer from every town.”

Steelheads take 1-0 lead in CIHL final The Williams Lake Stampeders fell behind 1-0 in the Central Interior Hockey League best-of-three playoff final Saturday on home ice, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Smithers Steelheads. Despite outshooting the Steelheads 29-18, Williams Lake wasn’t able to solve Steelheads’ netminder David Little, who made 28 saves in the win. Mark Arnold opened the scoring for Smithers just after the one minute mark of the first period, before Williams Lake’s Matt Lees tied up the contest at 1-1 early in the second. From there, Smithers tallied twice more
with goals from Adam DeVries and Skylar Hasell, before Randall Groot closed out the scoring for the Steelheads midway through the third. Both teams struggled on the power play with Smithers going 0-6 and Williams Lake going 0-8. It was Williams Lake’s last home game of the season, which saw the Stamps bid farewell to their fans in front of a packed house at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Game two and, if necessary, game three of the series go next Saturday and Sunday, respectively, in Smithers. The winner of the
