Young teen assaulted A 13-year-old boy was assaulted Wednesday afternoon while riding his bike. The Williams Lake RCMP say that at about 3 p.m. they received a complaint that the teen was riding his 2010 Kona Shred mountain bike on trails behind Cataline Elementary School, between Blair Street and Midnight Drive. Two males between the ages of 15 and 20, wearing black clothing, thin black winter gloves, sunglasses, toques and red bandanas around their faces stopped the boy and produced a knife, telling him to get off the bike. Police say the males then demanded the 13-year old to take off his shoes and, while doing so, he was struck in the back of the head. Anyone who may have witnessed the event or has information pertaining to this file is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP detachment at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In a standing-room only forum held at the Pioneer Complex in Williams Lake Thursday, presenters to the legislative assembly’s timber supply committee said the forests are crucial for the future. Several speakers referenced the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Management Plan, suggesting it be upheld. Cariboo Conservation Society’s Martin Kruus said old-growth management areas were allocated for a reason and shouldn’t be logged. “Unique compromises that were made between environmental groups and industry need to stay in place,” Kruus said. Rancher Randy Saugstad agreed, saying the decisions on how much should be logged and when were all arrived at through extensive consultation and landuse planning processes. “All that should not be wiped out for a short-term political decision for the benefit of a few at a
very great cost to the rest of us,” Saugstad said. “I’m not against logging if it’s done in a professional and sustainable manner, but I’m absolutely against what’s already happening out there and how much worse it might get if this committee comes to the wrong decision.” On behalf of the city, Mayor Kerry Cook suggested an annual allowable cut of between 2.8 million and 3.1 million cubic metres as a base line target for the Williams Lake timber supply area. “I understand that there are additional opportunities involving forest inventories and incremental silviculture that could help to further increase the timber supply,” Cook said, adding the city recognizes the need to protect the mid term timber supply but that the volume of timber attributable to steep slopes and low volume stands must be harvested. “If there are issues around the economics of logging steep slopes and low-volume stands, then we need to do whatever is necessary to make these areas accessible and
economical to log, such as looking at different trucking options, eliminating the carbon tax, and reducing administration and obligations on timber harvesters.” Gary Arnold, interim general manager of Ulkatcho’s West Chilcotin Forest Products, the entity trying to restart the mill in Anahim Lake, said one million cubic metres of trees have been shape filed in the Anahim Lake area. “There is no possible way the West Chilcotin and Anahim timber supply can support all the allowed impact that currently is there,” Arnold said. “By removing the partition, we’ve opened up the western supply block to be impacted by Williams Lake licences,” Arnold said, adding outdated timber inventories don’t allow Ulkatcho to have meaningful and deep consultation. Esket’emc chief Fred Robbins described elders sitting on their porches watching truck loads upon truck loads of timber leaving their territory while they are living in poverty.
Tax dollars aren’t enough — First Nations need revenue from resources, Robbins said. If companies are going to clear cut an area, they should have to replant within two years, he added. Esket’emc band member Irvine Johnson also condemned forestry practices. “I don’t think we should be waiting to see what’s going to happen with regeneration on a mountainside,” Johnson said. “The prescription treatment for the mountainside should be different to prevent slides and other siltation.” Advocating that it’s important to genuinely include First Nations in the annual allowable cut, Johnson suggested First Nations are more than just a referral process and have a stake. Tl’esqox (Toosey) Chief Francis Laceese likened the spread of pine beetle to the small pox epidemic and blamed the government and industry for spreading the beetle. See FORESTER Page A2

Deer injures dog in city Over the weekend the Williams Lake RCMP responded to around 50 calls. Of special note were an animal fight, a single vehicle MVI and a break and enter at Toosey near Riske Creek. On July 7 around noon police were contacted in regards to an animal fight involving a dog and a deer at a residence on Hodgson Road. The owner of the dog advised police that the altercation between the
dog and the deer happened at 7:30 a.m. and the dog received many injuries. One of the dog owners who witnessed the altercation was concerned that the deer would attack again and that maybe next time it might be children or others involved. The deer was no longer in the area; consequently no action could be taken. On July 8 at 4:30 p.m. police were called to a single vehicle motor vehicle incident on
Highway 97 in the vicinity of Signal Point Road. An 86-year-old male had been swerving on the road and crashed into the ditch off road. The driver was uninjured, but admitted that he had fallen asleep as he was very tired. The vehicle was removed from the scene and the male was provided a ride home. No charges are being contemplated. Also on July 8 at approximately 5:07 p.m. Williams Lake
RCMP responded to a complaint at Toosey near Riske Creek A home owner stated that her residence was broken into sometime during the night. She returned home to find a television was stolen, along with some of her undergarments. No suspects have been identified at this time. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or Crimestoppers.
Forester suggests area-based tenures Continued From Page A1 “They spread the bug kill around so they can get access to green wood,” Laceese said. “Now they’re telling the natives: ‘You go ahead. “You take the dead wood. We’re going to keep taking the green wood. You know, they’ve been playing that game for a long time. You spread your bug kill around just like you spread smallpox around back in the 1800s. That’s what’s going on. You tried to annihilate us. That’s your same government that did that intentionally. I’m not scared to say that.” He recommended a moratorium on logging in the Big Creek, Hungry Valley and Churn Creek areas until further studies are done. “If you don’t do that, we’ll put a moratorium on it ourselves. It’s that serious of an issue.” Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah Valley) Chief Marilyn Baptiste outlined measures her community has taken historically to protect

their land and ecology. “We demand to be a part of these processes if you want to continue to work in our territory. If we are not properly and adequately consulted we will be kicking people out of our territory,” she warned. Sam Zirnhelt, stewardship department manager for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, said a lot of good work has been done. “You can’t convey in this forum what First Nations communities have been working on to engage in the forest economy in the last five to 10 years that I’ve been involved, nor the work that’s been done with various sectors in the region, like the beetle action coalition, and the massive amounts of energy and thought that are still sitting on paper.” Simply relaxing harvesting constraints won’t do much for the value of the tenures that First Nations hold, because they are not able to sell or process the volumes they have, he said.
Registered professional forester Jane Perry said forests have been taken far too much for granted, and this is the time to take advantage and demonstrate respect for them. Bob Macnair, financial secretary of the United Steelworkers Union, said the union does not want to see a short-term gain for Tolko and West Fraser at the cost of the future of jobs in this community. He asked how the government can make decisions about the land base when it’s not actually known what there is as far as inventory. Panel chair MLA John Rustad responded that the ministry believes pine beetle wood will continue being cut for the next 10 to 20 years in the area before there’s going to be a drop in the AAC. Macnair answered that he didn’t buy it. “Nobody’s been able to get out there and do the inventories,” he said. Mauro Calabrese, planning forester and biologist for West Fraser in Williams
Lake, advocated that area-based tenures are the way to go. Moving to area based tenures can reduce the fall down in the allowable cut, he explained, adding he’d rather see that done to mitigate the timber supply than harvesting old growth management areas and landscapes that have already been heavily salvaged. “It’s my opinion that volume-based licensing does not promote good forest stewardship and hinders my ability as a forest professional to achieve the balancing of forest resources and the demands of forest users,” Calabrese said, adding that “there will be more accountability within an areabased system, as there will be no question as to who is actually managing the area and responsible for what is happening there.” The Special Committee on Timber Supply held a forum the following day in Quesnel.

Smoke moves into WL from other areas Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Smoke in the skies over Williams Lake is coming from fires in Colorado, Alberta and northern B.C., says Kelowna-based Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist. “We have the smoke in Kelowna too,” he says. “It’s probably coming from two places. The first bout came up through Alberta from Colorado and back down originally, and there are also some fires in northern Alberta and northern B.C. so the smoke’s coming from a long way away.” The haze began showing up in Williams Lake area on the weekend in conjunction with the arrival of hot summer weather. Lundquist explains that satellite photos reveal the smoke travelled all over the B.C. interior
and beyond. “When I look at the map, it looks like most of B.C. was affected,” he says, adding he received inquiries from Vancouver asking where the smoke was coming from. The smoke should clear off in the next couple of days because the flow will be switching into the southwest and will bring cleaner air from the Pacific, he says. Recalling the fires in 2010 in the Cariboo and Chilcotin region, Lundquist points out that smoke from those fires travelled all the way to Quebec. “We sent smoke across the country then.” On Monday morning Cariboo Fire information officer Jenny Fremlin confirmed there are no new active fires in the region. So far the wetter than average spring is keeping the fire season at bay.
150 Mile school vandalized 150 Mile Elementary School was vandalized early Monday morning. The Williams Lake RCMP says at 1:23 a.m. police received an alarm from the school. Upon arrival, RCMP members saw garbage strewn about, two broken windows, and another window that was open that had a chair placed underneath that the perpetrator(s) used to stand on and climb through the windows

into a classroom. Once inside the school a second class room was entered, where the suspect(s) committed acts of vandalism as well as break and enter. Anyone who may have knowledge of this offence, or knows who committed this offence, is asked to call the Williams Lake RCMP at 250 392 6211, or Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Moose hunting banned: Tl’etinqox-tin Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While it’s not hunting season yet, a nonTsilhqot’in moose hunting ban for the Anaham range has been issued by the Tl’etinqox-tin (Anaham) government. The main reason for the ban is that moose in the region are at an alltime low, the Tl’etinqox say, adding they are not being treated fairly in having their areas protected from overharvesting of timber. “We don’t want to inconvenience anyone so we’re trying to get the word out as early as we can so that people can make hunting plans to go elsewhere,” Tl’etinqox-t’in chief Joe Alphonse says. “A lot of people put their resources into going out to enjoy the outdoors, but in this specif-
ic situation, the moose can’t sustain that level of hunting pressures. That’s the circumstance we’re in.” In a press release issued by the Tl’etinqoxt’in band on June 6, the community asserts Tsilhqot’in aboriginal rights to hunt moose within the Anaham Range, as well as aboriginal title over lands, which include the exclusive rights to use the lands and the right to decide how the lands and resources will be used. In 2009, the province and the Tsilhqot’in Nation signed the Tsilhqot’in Framework Agreement to manage all matters relating to natural resources. The Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations says both parties are currently examining other areas within the
Tsilhqot’in traditional territory where moose populations have declined. Signage alerting the public of the ban and subsequent road closures will go up in the next couple of weeks, Alphonse says. Roads north of Tl’etinqox-t’in will be deactivated coming from Quesnel, the band says, as well as road closures during hunting season on the Raven Lake Road, known as 1300 Road, on the 46-kilometre board and closure from the 67 km on the Mackin Creek Road. As well, the band says harvesting of timber is prohibited until further notice in the areas of the Tl’etinqox guide outfitters, particularly in Lawrence Elkins guiding territory, due to the loss of habitat for moose
and other game. Responding by email the ministry says the province takes the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s concern with moose populations very seriously and is in active discussion with it to find a solution before moose hunting begins. “Recent survey data shows that moose populations have declined in the Cariboo Chilcotin area,” the ministry confirms. “Limited entry hunting remains the mechanism for determining resident hunter moose harvest in the area, and the province has already reduced resident hunter opportunity in the area by 10 per cent for 2012. This number will be further refined in advance of the 2013 hunting season.” The ministry wouldn’t say whether the ban imposed by Tl’etinqox
would be recognized by the province, as moose hunting season doesn’t take place until fall. The only exception to the moose hunting ban for non-Tsilhqot’in hunters within the Anaham range will be for hunters to go with Tl’etinqox-t’in members who have guide hunting operations, the band says. “We have two big game outfitters in our community within our traditional territory that are community members and we feel their guiding areas have more logging roads than any of the other guide fitters out there,” Alphonse says. “As leadership in the community, we are stepping in to ensure they have the ability to make a living and that we as a people continue to have moose resources to rely on.”

Fire centre anticipates quiet season Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Compared to 2010, this year should be a quieter fire season because of the cooler and wetter spring. Making a presentation to city council Tuesday, Cariboo Fire Centre manager Darrell Orosz said to date there have been 48 fires burning 239 hectares. About 100 of those hectares burned during one fire. The 2012 statistics are low compared to the 10-year average, which would see around 94 fires burning 1,144 hectares by this time of the year. Numbers in themselves don’t tell you a lot, Orosz said. It’s the damage caused by fires that’s the main concern. “Truthfully we have not damaged anything so far this year. It’s all been grassland and a little bit of dead pine, but generally it’s been an enhancement.”
Looking toward the rest of the season, the forecast is for an average summer, nothing like 2010. “We will get lightning storms, but they will be wet. In 2010 we had dry lightening.” As a result, fire crews from the Cariboo will travel to assist with fires in other provinces, and will work on fuel management at home, sometimes in collaboration with the Cariboo Regional District. In recent years sites on Fox Mountain, above White Road, in Boitanio Park, at the Dairy Fields and Crown land within the city have been targeted for fuel mitigation. However, Orosz said the work doesn’t escape controversy. “For every person who thinks we should be cutting down trees, there’s someone who says we shouldn’t.” One of the most successful results of recent
years is Alexis Creek. “We had proof that in 2010, the fuel management work actually stopped the fire. As the fire came across, we were on site. We had real time photos as well as information. We documented two fires in B.C. — the one at Alexis Creek, the other was in Kelowna. Alexis Creek did not lose any structures because of that previous treatment.” Currently crews are doing mitigation at Chilcotin Estates Mobile Home Park, at the mini golf area, and at Westridge, and carrying out archaelogical research in anticipation of doing work at the airport. “We’re always looking for areas that we can clear out in advance,” Orosz said. “Arsonists and opportunists like to be within about 20 feet of a road, throw a cigarette lighter or match and run.”
City cracks down on booze at complex Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The alcohol consumption policy for the Cariboo Memorial Complex will be strictly enforced from now on in. Last week council received a report from director of community services Geoff Paynton alerting that despite continued efforts to work with user groups, alcohol is being illegally consumed at the complex. “In order to ensure user groups take this issue seriously, the existing policy, with clear sanctions, will be strictly en-
forced in the 2012-2013 season,” Paynton stated. Coun. Laurie Walters discussed the four steps in the penalty process. The first offence will result in a written warning outlining the infraction and clarifying penalty steps. A second offence would lead to a oneweek cancellation of all bookings for the entire league or group without a refund, while the third offence would see a twoweek cancellation of all bookings for the entire league or group with no refund. Finally, a fourth of-
fence would see suspension of the entire league or group pending a review by Central Cariboo/ City of Williams Lake Joint Committee. “This is something we are taking very seriously. It is going to be a trick to enforce; we know it’s a harsh method. However, it just can’t continue with the use of alcohol when it’s not permitted,” Walters said. Staff will review the policy with all user groups so it’s clear, she added. Council endorsed the recommendation unanimously.

Air quality advisory issued The Ministry of Environment and Interior Health has issued an air quality advisory for Williams Lake because of high concentrations of fine particulates and ozone that are expected to persist until Tuesday. Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate and ozone exposure. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease. Fine particulate (PM2.5) concentrations are currently 33 micrograms per cubic metre and exceed the provincial air quality objective of 25 micrograms per cubic metre, averaged over 24 hours, a joint news release from the ministry and Interior
Health says. The hourly ozone concentration was 32 ppb yesterday morning and was expected to exceed the air quality objective of 82 ppb in the afternoon. Ozone is a highly reactive pollutant that is formed in the atmosphere from reactions involving other pollutant gases in the presence of sunlight. Current meteorological conditions, emissions from various sources including, industry and transportation sources, and long-range pollutant transport are likely contributing to this air quality episode. This episode is expected to continue until there is a change in the current weather system.

terior Health say tips to reduce your personal health risk include: • Avoiding roads with heavy vehicle traffic and areas with wood smoke. • Staying cool and drink plenty of water. • Continuing to control medical conditions such as asthma, chronic respiratory disease and heart failure. If symptoms continue to be bothersome, seek medical attention. • Maintaining good overall health is a good way to reduce health risks resulting from short-term exposure to air pollution. Additional tips for those with chronic underlying medical conditions: • Stay indoors, espe-
cially during midday when levels of ozone are at their highest, and reduce indoor pollution sources such as smoking and vacuuming. • Run an air cleaner. Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels provided they are the right size for your home and filters are changed regularly. • Take shelter in airconditioned buildings which have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air. The ministry adds that people can do their part to improve air quality by voluntarily reducing emissions, such as reducing the use and idling of vehicles.

Gov’t must listen to the public
Way to go, kids
I
M
embers of the Special Committee on Timber Supply have my sympathy and respect. They have a brutal schedule and a daunting task. The problems in our forests have been decades in the making, and there is a lot more at stake than the health of the timber supply for the lumber industry. Listening to preFrench senters Connection here on ThursDiana French day and l a t e r reading the minutes from other areas (www.leg.bc.ca/cmt) it struck me the public wants trees left for future generations; more local involvement in planning; and ensuring there is room in the forests for other users, not only other industries (agriculture, tourism guiding, trapping etc.) but also for small forest-related endeavors. I have a personal interest in the welfare of our forests. Four members of my family depend on local mills for their livelihoods, and for a few years I have chaired the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society (CCCS) which is concerned with land-use issues. CCCS was born in the 1990s during the days of the B.C. Commission on Resources and Environment (CORE) and the development of the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Plan (CCLUP). Many presenters want to keep the plan (no logging steep slopes, low-value stands, protected areas or old growth forests). Concern about timber supplies is nothing new. Back in the 1970s some local mill owners worried about it (pine had little value then). In the 1980s, at least one senior forestry official believed more forest revenue should go to sustaining the forests. Now we’re playing catch up. It’s all very well to pay lip service to balancing the economy, the environment and social needs. The challenge is how to do it over the long term. Committees and commissions seeking public input have been around for years. I’m all for them, but too often governments put shortterm political considerations ahead of the public’s recommendations. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen this time. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
Keep forestry a vibrate industry Last Thursday, the Special Committee on Timber Supply held a meeting in Williams Lake where concerns, ideas, and experiences were relayed from elected officials, forestry workers, and other members of the public. It was an important meeting to have, and it’s clear that the committee and the government have a gruelling task ahead of them. Unfortunately, there were some comments made that were, to put it mildly, not very constructive, such as a comment that industry and the government intentionally spread the mountain pine beetle around — just like smallpox — so they can get access to green wood and leave First Nations with the dead wood (see story page A1). We strongly disagree with such statements. Other suggestions, though not as inflammatory, also raise concern such as the idea to reduce administration and obligations on timber harvesters in order to make it economically feasible for licensees to log steep slopes and low-volume stands. While more information on such an idea could be investigated further, such a move leads one to wonder if that could create loopholes that could undermine the forests’ future further.
Some presenters had some very good points, including using wood for value-added purposes and switching to an area-based tenure system, as opposed to the current volume-based tenure system. Switching to an area-based model would not only allow a more level playing field for licensees, small and large, but would — most importantly — provide strong incentives to licensees to manage the forests sustainably, much like woodlot owners, for the long haul — a far better alternative to harvesting old-growth management areas. And there would also be more accountability. However, how area-based tenures could be implemented at this stage in the game, when ribbons already decorate the trees in areas soon to be logged, remains to be seen. Time is running out. Whatever happens, we hope the powers that be look ahead to the future — our community’s future and the forests’ future — to not simply buy us some time but to create a plan that keeps our forests and the industry and communities that depend on them vibrant long into the future. — Erin Hitchcock

’d like to congratulate Williams Lake’s Kids Running for Kids, all of their parents and supporters who helped them on their amazing journey. They ran from Williams Lake to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital in an incredibly impressive fundraising effort and arrived at their destination on Saturday. Their energetic and caring nature can be matched by very few and it was a terrific undertaking. T h e temperaMLA tures are creeping Musings up here in Donna Barnett the Cariboo and there will be a continued drying trend, but so far we’ve not yet experienced any major forest fires. You may have noticed, however, there is a discernible haze in the air. What might surprise you though is where this haze is coming from — Environment Canada meteorologist David Wray says the smoke originally thought to be coming from the U.S. is actually making its way here from Siberia, suggesting major forest fire activity over there. While there are currently no campfire bans in the Cariboo Fire Centre, there are still some restrictions. According to bcwildfire.ca, effective April 2, the size of fires within the region has been restricted, which prohibits the burning of any waste, slash or other materials (piled or unpiled) at a size larger than one metre by one metre; the burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time; and stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. Campfires should be no larger than half a metre in width and height. The fire danger rating throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre is moderate in the northwest, low in the east but high throughout the southwestern areas. Check with authorities to find out if there are restrictions in your area and consider wind conditions. If the wind is strong enough to carry sparks to combustible material, do not burn. Keep fires at a reasonable distance away from any flammable materials or structures; keep camping fires small — the best cooking fire is small and hot; keep a shovel and at least eight litres of water nearby in case the fire escapes; never leave a camp fire unattended; and extinguish fires by stirring water into the ashes until it is cold to the touch — hot coals can reignite fires. If you need help planning your burning activities, contact the Cariboo Wildfire Management Branch Fire Centre at 250-989-2600. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Plant life does better with elevated CO2 Editor: To inject a little reality into Herb Nakada’s ramblings: If there is an oil spill we rightly expect it to be cleaned up. The bitumen sands is an oil spill that has been polluting the Athabasca watershed and the arctic ocean for millenia. Somehow, because this oil spill is being cleaned up at no cost to the taxpayer and I suppose because someone is actually making a profit doing the bitumen cleanup, it’s all wrong. We are still living in the iron age;
On behalf of the tenants and residents of the Williams Lake Seniors Village I would like to send many very deserving bouquets of roses to those who made the annual Draft Horse Day another great success. Bouquets go out to the Williams Lake Draft Horse Association, Beamac (which supplied hot dogs, hamburgers, and drinks for 150 seniors and helpers on this day) Tolko’s 10-year Club, which did all the cooking, the Williams Lake Lions Club (which supplied tables and chairs), Rosetta Paxton and Gwen Cyr who brought it all together with their music, Community Police for making sure the roads were safe, all of the fantastic volunteers who make a huge difference in how smoothly an event of this scale runs, the staff of the Williams Lake Seniors Village who also gave of their time on their day off and last but not least the recreation staff who put in extra efforts to make this event come together.
that means we are dependent on iron and steel. Plastic is replacing iron and steel in many applications but that is largely made from (dirty) oil. Pure iron is a soft metal, too soft to be useful. However, when alloyed with carbon we have cast iron that can be converted into steel. The carbon source is metallurgical coal (anthracite). Only coal and charcoal burn hot enough to smelt iron and are rich enough in carbon to make cast iron. Steel is the most recycled material at 60 per cent recycling. When the green economy can
provide energy on demand that has a high energy density, is relatively light weight and easily transportable, when the green economy provides basic materials like iron and plastic, then we can all be green. It is well known that plant life does much better with elevated CO2 and temperature, so much so that commercial green houses elevate the CO2 to around 1,000 parts per million. That is a whopping one per cent. With the increasing world population to feed elevated CO2 and temperatures have to be a good thing. Just look at the vast areas of
Canada and Russia that are basically a frozen wasteland. If these areas become habitable and arable many problems would be solved. Unfortunately there has been now warming and perhaps a slight cooling over the last 15 years. The real scary reality is that in the cycles of ice ages that started when the North and South American continents collided are (over) due to repeat. The last time I looked the Americas were still joined. Richard Sanders Williams Lake
The efforts of all of the above are so worth it when you see the enjoyment the seniors get out of an event such as this!
(as always). Also we would particularly like to acknowledge the young lady who was our runner, doing all kinds of jobs for us! As well, an acknowledgement of excellence should be passed along to the concession. We have
never eaten a better burger at any function. We would also like to thank the announcer at the races for his assistance. To all of the other people working behind the scenes, you all rock. Job well done!

NDP MLA meets with Ulkatcho on forestry Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Aboriginal affairs critic NDP MLA Scott Fraser was in Williams Lake Thursday meeting with First Nations groups. “I’m here because the timber supply committee is in town today. I was invited by the Ulkatcho First Nation who are making a presentation,” Fraser told the Tribune Thursday. “The Ulkatcho have agreements with the government and have concerns they aren’t getting meaningful gov-
ernment to government consultation. I want to bare witness to their presentation. They have forestry plans and they have signed agreements and they have a mill, and their plans are fairly long-term sustainable plans that involve not just the timber resource, but recognizing other values within the territory,” he said. Fraser said if Ulkatcho’s submission was completely ignored, then he could raise their concerns in the legislature. In an e-mail response by the Ministry of For-
MLA Scott Fraser ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to the Tribune, Minister Steve Thomson was at-
tributed saying the government is committed to providing community stability and working with communities on further economic development. “This is demonstrated, in part, by the recent forest revenue sharing agreement and tenure opportunity agreement that we have signed with the Ulkatcho First Nation,” the ministry said. “We encourage the major forest companies to continue working with the band on a positive business to business relationship.” A revenue sharing

agreement and forest tenure opportunity agreement have been signed, confirmed the province. The forest tenure opportunity agreement includes an offer of a non-replaceable licence for 62,500 cubic metres a year for 20 years and a replaceable licence to cut 26,000 cubic metres a year. The agreement is in addition to a 20-year licence to cut 140,000 cubic metres a year that expires in 2019. Last week Gary Arnold, interim general manager of West Chilcotin Forest Products, raised concerns that forestry companies have shape filed the trees in the region, before the Ulkatcho have had a chance to get out there. “It’s huge. We are talking a million cubic metres of wood the companies have shape-file ribboned already and I am now in possession of information that those
informal shape file ribbons are now formal,” Arnold told the Tribune. Tolko’s operations are moving more westward, Woodlands manager Tom Hoffman confirmed. He also said the last time the company actively harvested in the area was around 2006. “We believe there is ample volume in the Anahim area that can be shared with all interests. We are not trying to minimize or exclude West Chilcotin Forest Products from gaining access to fibre, but we do have, according to our timber licenses, the right to go and harvest out there,” Hoffman said. Fully appreciative of Ulkatcho wanting the best opportunity to negotiate with government, Hoffman said Tolko does not want to usurp that relationship. “They’ve even offered to sell us 200,000 cubic metres of volume as late as October, November
of last year. We want to work with them. We sincerely do not want to be a threat,” Hoffman said. Fraser also discussed the treaty process, describing it as “glacial” in speed. “It was never designed to be static, but needs to evolve,” he said. “There’s no way a First Nation should have to go into debt to negotiate on a level playing field. The federal government should release First Nations from having to pay that back, in my opinion.” Referencing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, Fraser noted he carries copies to hand out wherever he goes. “It’s not a law, but it’s a lens to look through that the world expects indigenous people to be treated in a certain way. Any government needs to be mindful of what’s in there,” he said of the declaration.

Williams Lake’s Kids Running For Kids brought along a special guest to this year’s Stampede Parade — Carey Price (right). Price rode alongside the group just prior to them leaving on their journey to Vancouver’s BC Children’s Hospital.
Kids Running For Kids complete journey Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Nine months, 4,000 kilometres and 12 communities later, Williams Lake’s Kids Running for Kids inspirational journey came to an end Saturday at Vancouver’s BC Children’s Hospital. The group of 65 runners aged five to 18 personally delivered a cheque for more than $77,000 to the hospital after running and fundraising in communities along the way throughout the week. Rya Enns, who formed KRFK last October after hearing about a Vernon family running from Vernon to Vancouver for Terry Fox, said the events experienced along the way were simply amazing. KRFK embarked on their trek following the Stampede Parade and ran in communities including the 108 Heritage Site, Clinton, Cache Creek, Kumsheen, Boston Bar, Harrison Hot Springs, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Mission. “They [the kids] were called heroes, ambassadors and role models [by speakers in various communities],� Enns said. However, the description of the group that stood out most, Enns said, was coined by a speaker in Harrison Hot Springs. “One of the people said what you guys are doing is magnanimous,�
she said. “They said to the kids that means giving without expecting anything in return, so that was kind of the word we used for the week.� Enns said there were many highlights along the way; however, the excitement began in Williams Lake after being introduced on the big screen during Friday’s Williams Lake Stampede performance. Saturday that excitement continued when KRFK runners met and rode with a special guest, Montreal Canadiens netminder Carey Price, on their Stampede Parade float. “Carey was awesome,� she said. “He got to every single one of the kids and signed their shirts, their hats, their coats and it was so amazing for them.� Following the parade KRFK were sent off from the Williams Lake secondary track by local bagpipers, city council, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, parents, peers and spectators. They continued running in communities along their route, battling injuries, and even running alongside other kids who had used BC Children’s Hospital in the past, in those communities. “Lots of communities were really supportive in making sure they had people there to cheer us along,� Enns said. “And having those kids run with them from other communities was a highlight for the kids because
they were able to sort of put a face to why they were doing this.� Leo Facio, the mayor of Harrison Hot Springs, hosted a special celebration for the group upon their arrival. “It was incredible,� she said. “They had pipers that piped us down the street, there were some kid dancers from the First Nations community there, and then they had a concert and it was all kid performers, so that was really neat.� On their final day, 400 metres before reaching BC Children’s Hospital, KRFK regrouped one last time. They decided to run together for the last leg of the journey. KRFK raised an additional $15,000 by fundraising throughout the week on their run — an amount that will be matched by CN Rail. “They were so excited and proud,� Enns said. “There were people gathered there cheering when we arrived. Everyone was tired, but we all did it together. Some of the big kids were piggy backing the little kids and it just showed how cohesive we’d become as a group.� At BC Children’s Hospital all KRFK runners were given superhero capes to wear during their stay. Langara-Vancouver MLA Moira Stilwell said a few words, along with two representatives from the hospital, before the cheque presentation. “We were there for about three
hours and they gave us a tour, we walked through the hospital, we heard some amazing stories and talked to some of the kids,� she said. “To have all these little faces looking at us, it was pretty special for the kids.� Along the way tallies were kept of how far each KRFK member ran. At the end of the journey they were each presented with their sheets. Enns said most of the kids ran at least a marathon with some of the older runners reaching the equivalent of two marathons over the week-long excursion. “Even some of the five-year-olds had ran more than 10 kilometres,� she said. Enns suspects by the time all fundraising totals are tallied the group will have raised more than $100,000. Additionally, she said Caribou Ski Source for Sports and Adidas contributed significant sponsorship donations including KRFK track suits, hats and shirts. Looking back on the trip, she hopes others were inspired by what KRFK achieved. “We were inspired by one family [in Vernon],� she said. “Someone said to us imagine all the families you guys have inspired. “Everyone was asking us if we were going to do something like this again. The friendship and the camaraderie we experienced along the way was amazing.�
The City of Williams Lake’s Recreation Services department have teamed up to offer a new one-day flag football camp and a flag football league to young members of the community.

Rugby school from England to visit lakecity Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer In a unique display of international camaraderie the Williams Lake rugby community will welcome students and rugby players from Shropshire, England
this July. The guests, 44 students from the Adams’ Grammar School (AGS) in Newport, Shropshire, will arrive the evening of July 25 and leave July 28. Rodger Stewart, a Williams Lake Rustlers
member helping organize the tour, said it’s a testament to the fact that Williams Lake is becoming more widely known as a hotbed for the sport. “Rugby in Williams Lake is experiencing some exciting times in
Ranch Challenge growing
Liz Twan photo
The Ranch Challenge section of the Williams Lake Stampede is growing in popularity and a large portion of the Sunday rodeo crowd remained in their seats at rodeo’s-end to watch the ranch challenge bronc riding. In this event, local working cowboys must try to stay on a bronc for eight-seconds, riding with their everyday working/ranch saddles; points are given for the quality of ride and the flashiest, showiest ride. When both sets of marks were totalled, the Alkali Lake Ranch came out on top. Greg Vanwinkle (the bronc rider for the Alkali Lake Ranch team) and his partner, Judy — riding double, behind him drew huge laughs as they bucked and bounced around the arena. The pickup man’s horse wanted nothing to do with the dummy and it was a challenge getting close enough to the rider to help him down after the eight-second whistle blew.
both the high school programs and with the Williams Lake Rustlers,” Stewart said, noting the Williams Lake secondary girls finished fifth in the province this year, and the Rustlers won bronze at a 24-team tournament in May in Edmonton. “While rugby is progressing at all levels in our community we continue to celebrate the successes of Kayla Moleschi as she plays around the world for Canada’s women’s sevens team and Jake Ilnicki, who leads the scrum for Canada’s U20 men’s team.” The community’s youth rugby program has combined with the
Rustlers to form two 15a-side teams — a junior Williams Lake Rustlers and a group of younger high school students — who will host, billet and play against two squads of 17- and 18-year-olds from Adams’ Grammar School. Games will be played the evening of July 26 at the Ottoman Drive Rugby Fields beginning at 5:30 p.m. with AGS’s second 15s taking on Williams Lake’s high school students, followed by the second game starting at 7 p.m. between AGS’s first 15s and the Williams Lake Junior Rustlers. Stewart is inviting everyone in the community to attend the
matches. Additionally, the Rustlers are searching for billet families to host the athletes while they visit the community. Stewart said they still have about 14 players who will require billets upon the group’s arrival. Following the games July 26, Stewart said AGS players will be toured around the city, showcasing our resource-based community the following day. “We’re hoping to go into one of the sawmills and have an overview of forestry in a community such as this,” he said. “For a group like AGS to become more
familiar with a resource community in B.C. it should be great. “This is going to be the smallest community they visit in Canada [on their tour]. They’re staying in major centres with the exception of Williams Lake. “We hope when they come here, we’d like to be able to get them to develop at least a passing awareness and appreciation of what a resource-based community is like in B.C. “And, we want to show that here, too, rugby is one of our passions.” Anyone interested in billeting is asked to contact Stewart at 250296-4295.

Minor fastball team headed to provs Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer For the first time in recent history, Williams Lake will have a minor fastball team competing at a provincial championship. This week, from July 12-15, a group of U14 boys will travel to Clearwater to compete at the BC Minor Fastball Championships. The players — Cole Broen, Chris Fontaine, David Matheson, Tyler Tenning, Brandon Moore, Ben Stafford, Devon Hill, Wyatt Buller, Hayden Lyons, Keegan Morey and Trevor Moore — were selected from a group of Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association players to attend the tournament. Michelle Tenning, president of the league, said she can’t remember the last time Williams Lake had enough players, and enough interest in the sport, to send a team to the tournament.
“We haven’t sent a team to provincials in a really long time,� Michelle said, and noted the tournament will be a good test for the players, who are used to playing on mixed boys and girls teams. “We have a few new players, but most of these kids have been playing for quite a while. “We probably have about four newcomers on the team, but the biggest thing is these kids have never played ball competitively, so this will be their first competitive tournament.� Michelle hopes the players and the league will continue to develop and produce more competitive teams and players. “We’d like to build on this and build it up more next year,� she said. “We had so many new players this year, so we hope to keep growing it. “Hopefully this will

The tournament also features both an opening and closing ceremony, MVP awards, and a skills competition. The WLMFA houses teams from T-ball all the way to peewee (U14) currently, and plays weekly at the Esler Sports Complex’s Dave Means Ball Park.
Clark Classic goes this Saturday The Third Annual Clark Classic soccer tournament goes this Saturday, July 14 at the Esler Sports Complex. The tournament, named after longtime community soccer coach, co-ordinator, referee, enthusiast and mentor, Clark Glanville, will see teams of at least 10 players go at it in seven-a-side action. “Clark is very honoured to have this tournament in his name,� said tournament organizer Andrea Gustafson. “Clark’s long-term dedication to soccer in Williams Lake has influenced and shaped many soccer players.� This year’s theme is Battle of the Bands, and players are asked to come prepared. All proceeds from
this year’s tournament are being donated to the families of Rayel MacDonald and Alysha Mullett. Games start at 8:30 a.m. and continue throughout the day, wrapping up in the evening with dinner and prize draws at the Overlander Pub. Registration cost is $200 per team, which must be completed by Thursday, July 12. Entry forms are available at Caribou Ski Source for Sports or by e-mailing Gustafson at andreagustafson@hotmail.com.

B.C. Magazine features aerial view of Cariboo Chilcotin Coast and taste of book to come Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer There is an amazing article in British Columbia Magazine’s spring edition by lakecity writer Sage Birchwater and 105 Mile Ranch photographer Chris Harris. The article is all about their adventures flying over the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast to produce a new book together about the aviation legacy of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast called Fly Over British Columbia Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. The article is called Flight Plan and documents some of the trips they made together to create the book that will be coming out in October. Between June and October of last year Birchwater says he and Harris flew with six different pilots documenting what they saw by air in Harris’ photographs and Birchwater’s writings. “We put a proposal in to B.C. Magazine back in August and we worked with the editor to put it together. It was really fun to work in the style that puts you in the pilot seat with the air blowing across your face.� Shooting through the open door of a Cessna 172 aircraft or a float plane, several Beavers, and a helicopter the photographs in the article deliver a taste of what is to come in their book.
There are spectacular photographs of Ape Lake near the Monarch Icefields, whiterimmed islands in alkali lakes in the south Cariboo, the winding Dean River with the volcanic Anahim Peak in the distance, a panoramic view of the Cariboo Mountains above Isaac Lake, the muddy Fraser River running between range lands. “As I fly with Chris I’m learning to see the landscape through the eyes of an artist,� Birchwa-
ter says in the article. “ Whether landing on an iceberg-strewn lake in the headwaters of the Talchako River or bird-dogging the flight of an Air Tractor 802 crop-duster plane at first light near Williams Lake, Chris is euphoric.� By photographing the region from the air, he’s doing more than just documenting landscapes. “From a plane there are unfamiliar perspectives and exciting discoveries,’� he says. “The possibilities are endless.�
Tuesday, July 10 Mainstage review The Studio Theatre’s production of Crimes of the Heart didn’t take any awards at the Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage provincial festival in Kamloops over the weekend but at least one of the actors is satisfied with their performance. “We did well but we had some wicked competition. I don’t feel bad losing to them,� says Juli Harland who played Lenny in Crimes of the Heart. “We had a great time. It was a wonderful learning experience.� The Okanagan Zone Sagebrush Theatre production of The Woman in Black won best play and other awards.

Lioness Club rounds up a new board Joanne Laird Special to The Tribune The Williams Lake Lioness Club held their installation of officers on Sunday, June 3 at the home of Lioness Sharon and Lion Lionel Burnier. Using a western theme, the event was entitled “Roundup at the Lioness Corral.” Following a lunch, consisting of a barbecue, salads and desserts provided by Lioness members and guests, outgoing president Debbie Westwick gave a brief summary of the club’s accomplishments during the past year. Westwick then presented each member with a flower in recognition of her contributions to the club and the community during her term of office. Lioness secretary Judy Garlinge, on behalf of
the members, presented Westwick with a carnation in appreciation of her dedication and continued support for the club. Past zone chair Lion Lionel Burnier and Lions Club past president Al Garlinge conducted the installation ceremony. Comparing the various positions on the executive to similar occupations on a ranch, Burnier and Garlinge used humour to lighten the seriousness of the occasion. The new executive for the 2012-2013 fiscal year are president Eleanore Nagy, vicepresident Midori Kozuki, secretary Judy Garlinge, treasurer Joanne Laird, tail twister Sylvia Prevost, Lioness tamer Marlene Davis, directors Sharon Burnier, Marlene Davis, Bonnie
Johannesen and Mary Lewis. President-elect Eleanore Nagy, in her acceptance speech, said she was looking forward to the coming year as well as the continuation of established projects and perhaps taking on some new ones. She also mentioned how much she appreciates the fun and fellowship that exists in the club. The afternoon concluded with the singing of a slightly altered rendition of Back in the Saddle Again, referring to Nagy’s third term as president, as she is a seasoned member of the Lioness Club. The Williams Lake Lioness Club began in 1967 when wives of the newly-formed Lions Club felt they should meet once a month to get

They decided to call themselves Lionettes, and remained so until 1979 when they became part of the larger international Lioness organi-
zation. The club joined thousands of Lioness clubs around the world dedicated to improving their communities. The local Lioness
Club does fundraising throughout the community and also receives gaming funds from the provincial government. These proceeds are then donated to a wide variety
of local organizations as well as recognized charities. From 1967 to the present time, the Williams Lake Lioness Club has donated more than $200,000.

Don Piper Silently, as the stars wheeled in the heavens and a new day began, Thursday, July 5, Don Piper began his passage into the world to come. In hospital in Kamloops for the past two weeks, Don was finally pain-free and at peace, in the company of family. A resident of the North Thompson for the past 22 years, Don was born in Peers, Alberta, Feb. 26, 1933, was raised on the Lower Mainland, and found his true home in the Chilcotin in 1964. He found his life partner, Ann, during a sojourn at Williams Lake, where youngest son Don Junior was born. The Pipers were a blended, extended and occasionally rowdily happy family. Don was predeceased by his five siblings, Walter, Hortense, Adelaide, Frank and Mary. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ann, at Barriere, “the Big Kids,” David (Lydia) at Terrace and in the Yukon, Patsy (Charles) Grimshire in Northern Alberta, Buddy (Carol) in Prince George, Shelly (Vince) Ubell at Quesnel and Wes (Kelly) at Kitimat, and Don Junior, at Little Fort. Also surviving are 11 grandchildren, Sherry, Cody, Julian, Charlie Anne, Joseph, Brandi-Marie, Sean, Sheldon, Maria Dulce, Marion Rose and Mary May, and four great-grandchildren, Avalon Rose, Kaden, Damien and Madison. As well, Don leaves a long list of nieces and nephews and their growing families. Cremation; a quiet gathering of family and friends will be planned for later in the summer.
