FIGHTING BACK

Despite heavy rains in May, fire conditions are heating up in the Cariboo fire region. The region had its first lightning wildfire of the season June 5. “A strike was called in by the public near 141 Mile House and Enterprise Road on the east side of Highway 97,” said fire information officer Greig Bethel. “One Initial Attack crew from Williams Lake auctioned the wildfire — it turned out to be a single Douglas fir tree was smoking and shattered from the lightning strike.” An IA crew returned Thursday to mop up. “In wildfire speak, this was a ‘kick and spit,’” Bethel said. Weather forecasts for this week indicate conditions in west Chilcotin will return to low. There is a chance of lightning across the CFC region, but storms will likely be accompanied with rain.

City branding controversy continues Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Most of the people who shared their ideas at the place branding meeting hosted by the city last Wednesday said they have not been satisfied with the process. Last month the city developed a survey after there was strong opposition to the proposed tagline “Welcome to the Republic of Life,” and promised it would hold public meetings. To date 180 people have completed the survey, said city manager of economic development Alan Madrigga. “The input on the surveys we have received so far definitely show that there are some folks that have very different ideas of one community,” Madrigga said. He also confirmed the city will continue to pursue a place brand, suggesting generic advertising

that is the same as what everyone else has, is not going to get the city noticed. Fifty people attended the meeting and after Madrigga’s presentation, approximately 12 requested to speak. Resident Marg Bublitz said 180 completed surveys indicated the process is not working. “I spent 20 years in advertising in this city and I have to tell you, we’re here because we care,” she said of the people at the meeting. “If 180 people did the survey, but what about the rest? They are not here.” Bublitz told Madrigga he needs to get out and talk to people rather than host a meeting because 180 people isn’t “cutting it.” Former mayor Jim Fraser said he supported going back to a western theme and asked if council would consider going to a referendum on branding.

“I’ve asked a number of professionals if they thought branding would attract people and never got a yes,” Fraser added. Donna Ford said she and her husband do not support any money being spent on branding. “Why did we have to hire someone from Vancouver Island to come and brand our city? Why isn’t that being done in-house?” Ford asked. “We’ve got our brand and can do the marketing with the brand we’ve got.” Peter Epp said if the gist of place branding is to attract and keep people in Williams Lake then the city needs to “stop wasting taxpayers’ money” and keep the taxes down so people can afford to live in Williams Lake. Resident Doug Wilson suggested if the plan is to woo 30-something year-old people to Williams Lake, then there need to be em-

ployment opportunities available for them. Cariboo GM owner Brian Garland suggested nobody can brand Williams Lake better than the people who live here. “We’ve got it,” he said. “Nobody could write the script better than we can. All we have to do is keep doing it right and not mess it up.” Geoff Moore asked if the city’s decision to pursue a place brand was proactive or reactive due to a pitch it received from a company and Madrigga answered it was the city’s idea to pursue branding. Moore said his own children are in the 30-something demographic and they did not like the “Republic of Life” tagline. Reaching consensus on a brand is a challenge, Moore said. See PUBLIC Page A3

City CAO welcomes new challenges Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer He was drawn to the position in Williams Lake because the city is at a crossroads, said the city’s new chief administrative officer Darrell Garceau. “When I researched the community, looked at its history, I noticed it was at a point in time where it’s going through a branding exercise and looking at attracting and sustaining industry,” Garceau told the Tribune. Last Tuesday, Mayor Kerry Cook announced that Garceau had been hired for the position. He starts work on July 2. Garceau said he was also attracted to the amenities of the area, with respect to education, recreation and the natural capital. “The community in itself was very much

The city’s new CAO, Darrell Garceau, begins work July 2. an attraction, but as I furthered my research of the community it seemed very progressive.” Impressed with the official community plan for Williams Lake, he suggested it defines the future of the community and re-

ally prompted him to apply for the position. Challenges of the CAO’s job were also a draw, he said, adding he’s looking forward to working with council, staff and the community. “I’m very excited about furthering part-

nerships with the business community, with other stakeholders within the region, with First Nations, and getting involved for the betterment of the community.” Garceau has worked as a CAO in Westlock, Alta. for the last 10 years. “Similar to Williams Lake, Westlock has retail and industrial,” he explained. “We have our partnerships and relationships with our regional partners.” When asked if he forsees any similarities, he said local government is local government. “Not to make light of it, but local government is there to provide services to the public. I’m very aware of strategic planning, and financially forecasting to make sure we are financially stable.”

Williams Lake is a resource industry and a lot of people are employed by forestry and mining, he said. “That dynamic has its own challenges because while there’s growth potential, communities are at the whim of how the provincial government wants to steward that process.” Prior to his position in Westlock, he worked for the town of Calmar, Alta. and Chase, B.C. Garceau grew up in North Vancouver, spending his first 27 years there. He and his wife visited Williams Lake the weekend he was interviewed in May, and plan to return in June to find a place to live for themselves and their cat. They have a daughter in Calgary and a son in Barriere.

Thieves target a dozen vehicles early Sunday Vehicles continue to be targeted for theft in Williams Lake, the RCMP said Monday morning. During the early hours of June 9, 12

vehicles were broken into. Most of them had their windows smashed. The culprits rummaged through the vehicles, stealing various

items including two bicycles, a GPS and a back pack. Locations of the thefts occurred throughout town including at the hospi-

tal, Coast Fraser Inn and on Third Avenue South. Additionally, sometime overnight on June 8, a Polaris ATV was stolen from a residence

on Fox Mountain. The ATV was recovered a short distance away as it appears the thieves could not get it started, the RCMP said.

Strike averted at Mount Polley Mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A strike was averted at Mount Polley Mine after an agreement was reached between the employer Imperial Metals and the United Steel Workers Local 1-425 last week. The union represents approximately 280 employees at the mine. On May 31, the union issued strike notice for 8 a.m. Thursday, June 6. “We negotiated a new memorandum, which was presented to the membership,” said union staff representative and chief negotiator Randy Gatzka from Vancouver Friday. “They voted at Mount Polley, accepting the proposed memorandum by 60 per cent so there was no need to go

on strike.” The new agreement is for five years. Gatzka confirmed there are improvements to the wages, registered retirements savings plans and education. “There’s also a copper bonus and many language changes,” he said. While an agreement was put in place when Mount Polley reopened in 2004, it needed a number of revisions because of the expansions at the mine site. It needed updating in the language around apprenticeships, lines of progressions in the mill and in the pit, Gatzka explained. Relieved there’s an agreement in place, Gatzka said negotiating had been a “long” process.

“We started over a year ago. The talks were pretty hot and heavy, but it’s all done.” Negotiating is a pro-

cess, he suggested. “The membership rejected the first agreement so we went back and got more, and the

membership decided to accept it, rather than exercise their right to have a dispute,” Gatzka said.

RCMP round up homeless puppies in the Chilcotin Six of seven puppies in need of a new abode are now homeward bound thanks to an RCMP officer. When Const. Krista Mangan of the Alexis Creek RCMP Detachment learned the “furry seven” were in need of a safe home, she used social networking and determination to find homes for six of them within a matter of days, Const. Lesley Smith District Advisory NCO North District Media Relations noted in a press release Thursday. Alexis Creek has a population of approximately 130 residents and four First Nations reserves nearby which include, Alexis Creek First Nations (Redstone), Yunesit’in

First Nations (Stone), Xeni Gwet’in First Nations (Nemiah) and Tl’etinqox-t’in First Nations (Anaham) Reserves consisting of approximately 1,500 residents. For a small, remote town, police officers at the detachment encounter some unique challenges, including an overpopulation of dogs. Though many dogs have good homes there is still a large population of strays that run freely about the area and can pose as a nuisance, Smith said.
Mangan has been a member of the RCMP for 11 years and was recently posted to the Alexis Creek Detachment in August 2012. She recently became

aware of a litter of puppies in the community who were in need of a good home. While one pup has yet to be claimed, Const. Mangan is positive that it too will find a good home soon.
 “As part of working with Alexis Creek First Nations as their RCMP liaison, I sit on the safety committee board. That committee is an integral part of identifying and solving many safety issues that arise,” Mangan said. “Stray dogs are one of the hot topics, and several solutions are being proposed at this time. I have a soft spot for animals, and knew that I would be able to find homes for them easily,” Mangan said.

Spruce budworm spraying planned for Cariboo region The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat approximately 28,100 hectares of forest in the Cariboo region to reduce populations of western spruce budworm.

personal relationships it takes to develop, which is some travel and some marketing.” The “Republic of Life” tagline did receive mileage, despite the overwhelmingly negative reaction, he added.

be the “the Republic of Life” wasn’t the right umbrella, the city needs an umbrella that encompasses what Williams Lake is, Dye suggested. “I think we’ve had a lot of great brands in the past, but I don’t think we ever had a consistent approach. I think it’s been hit and miss over the years.” The city’s place brand survey is available on the city’s website and in paper form from city hall. The deadline is June 14.

New faces in larger B.C. cabinet Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet at an outdoor ceremony in downtown Vancouver Friday, keeping veterans in some key roles and bringing in newcomers elected in the B.C. Liberals’ upset election win. Clark appointed 19 ministers, adding two new ministries. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman takes over the new ministry of natural gas development, retaining responsibilities as deputy premier and minister responsible for housing. Newly elected Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat takes on a new ministry of international trade, including B.C.’s Asia-Pacific strategy and multiculturalism. Ka m l o o p s - S o u t h Thompson MLA Todd Stone, another newcomer, moves into the transportation ministry. Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Suzanne Anton, a former Crown prosecutor and Vancouver city councillor, will be justice minister and attorney-general. Langley City mayor and rookie SurreyFleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender moves into the hot seat as education minister. His first task is to work on Clark’s goal of reaching a long-term contract settlement with B.C. teachers.

Another newcomer is Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, taking over as advanced education minister. Third-term Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad makes cabinet as aboriginal relations minister, where he is assigned to continue developing resource and treaty agreements around the province. Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson, a former deputy minister and B.C. Liberal Party president, takes over a renamed technology, innovation and citizen services ministry. Comox Valley MLA Don McRae moves from education to another renamed role, social development and social innovation. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake moves from environment to health, the largest ministry in the B.C. government. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett takes over from Coleman in the energy and mines ministry. Bennett was also placed in charge of the government’s “core review,” a cross-government efficiency exercise. Rookie Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes takes over Bennett’s former role as community, sport and cultural development minister. Veteran ministers from the Gordon Campbell era remain

in key roles. Prince George-Valemount MLA and cabinet veteran Shirley Bond goes from justice to jobs, tourism and skills training, also responsible for labour. Langley MLA Mary Polak goes from transportation to environment. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong remains finance minister and B.C.

ALS awareness team plans walk for June 22 walk there, really became important for me.” If someone was diagnosed with ALS in Williams Lake, Campbell could share her journey with them, and possibly connect them with supports, something she said she and her family didn’t have. For more information contact: Eileen Campbell and Heather Robertson, 250-989-0092 or 250267-7611, williamslakewalk@alsbc.ca.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Organizers of the ALS walk on June 22 have got their wish. On May 21 they asked the city of Williams Lake to declare ALS awareness week June 17 to June 23. At its meeting June 4, council approved the request. On May 21 Candace Morrison asked the city to consider making the entire week a focus on the disease. “The walk is a gift of hope because 40 per cent of the funds raised are invested in vital research,” Morrison told council. “They are close to finding a cure and probable treatment of ALS, but we need money to fund that research.” She also encouraged council members to be part of raising awareness about the disease. Eileen Campbell also spoke to council. Her husband Hugh passed away in September 2010 at the age of 53 after being diagnosed with ALS in June 2008. “We had no idea what those three little letters meant when we were told at the doctor’s office his bloodline carried the disease,” Campbell said. From that moment the family became very aware of the disease and realized there was little awareness of the disease amongst the general population. “I think that’s because there is no money spent on administration,” she said. Eighty-five per cent of the money raised goes directly to patient care, research and not to sending out mail outs, which Campbell said she has mixed feelings about. “I’ve only ever seen one commercial and I know my husband felt excited when he saw it because we didn’t know what it was. Here in Williams Lake when he was

We never had that here. His progression was so quick and Hughie was the first ALS patient his doctor here had ever had, and that doctor has since retired.” Since her husband died, Campbell has been motivated to bring ALS awareness to Williams Lake and through the walk in 2012, that brought 100 people out and raised $12,000, she met people in the community personally affected by the disease. “With the support of the city we can make it bigger,” Campbell added. Campbell said currently there is no known cause, cure or treatment for ALS. “I’ve been to a couple of ALS functions where scientists have spoken and I’ve read more research on it. They are looking at genetics and chromosomes, and they feel that they are within

10 years of a cure.” Some of the funds raised at walks also goes to equipment. Hugh’s wheelchair was worth $25,000, she said. “It’s an extremely expensive disease.” When Hugh was diagnosed the Campbell’s three children were 18, 16 and 13 years old. “It was pretty big news for them. He almost immediately lost his mobility to walk. So there were lots of changes at home. He wasn’t able to work and it was six months before they made a diagnosis,” Campbell recalled. Hugh chose to take no life-saving measures such as feeding tubes, because it delayed the disease, she added. “Nothing changes in your mind or your organs, it’s everything else that wastes away.” In May, Campbell took a leave of absence from work to care for Hugh full-time because he couldn’t be left alone. “It never affected his speech very much. Sometimes he sounded like he’d been drinking because his speech was slurred a bit.” Campbell said her husband would have liked to meet someone with ALS.

“That didn’t happen, but for some reason when I went to Prince George and the connection I felt with everyone at the

Branding the latest ‘in thing’

Debate, don’t fight: Green MLA

’ve had my nose in Williams Lake affairs one way or another since moving here in 1970. Over the years city councils have had the occasional disconnect with the community at large. This latest one on the branding project is a doozy. As an armchair observer it looks to me like some folks at city hall sincerely believe the only reason citizens are upset about the affair is because they don’t understand. I hear the protesters saying they understand just fine French but they Connection Diana French don’t like the process or the product. Council is blaming poor communications but that’s only part of it. Hiring outside consultants always gets up entrepreneurial Cariboo noses, especially when local people could do the job. It didn’t help that the consultants listed millworkers and cowboys as weaknesses, nor when council indicated local citizens, particularly oldies, weren’t important to the process. That was a slap in many faces. The protestors aren’t CAVE (Citizens Against Virtually Everything). The people speaking out at Wednesday’s meeting are among the many who have made huge contributions to this community as business people, volunteers, politicians, some all three. The clamour on Facebook came from all directions, young and old. Surely it isn’t unreasonable for people who have spent years establishing an image for the city to react when they see their efforts dismissed. In 2009 council went to the public to get input into Imagine the Future of Williams Lake. The final document was strong on encouraging community and stakeholder collaboration, and getting the “wisdom and expertise of community members.” One speaker suggested a good way for council to communicate with people is to have conversations with them. Place branding apparently is the latest “in thing” for smaller cities. So, is there hard evidence that a change in our image is needed, or is it change because everyone else is doing it?

anada’s first provincial Green Party politician is also the first MLA to take the oath of office as the B.C. legislature gets set to resume sitting. Climate scientist Andrew Weaver was sworn in Thursday as MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, the first of 85 MLAs elected to the 40th Parliament of B.C. Weaver said he plans to bring a different style to the legislature, emphasizing policy rather than the loud political theatre that some of the news media prefer. “We should be here to do policy, not to fight,” he said. “Criticism is easy. Constructive criticism is more difficult.” One issue Weaver plans to press the government on is its ambitious agenda to develop liquefied natural gas exports. He said the current high price in the Asian market is unsustainable in the longer term, because of competition from Russia, the U.S. and Australia, and China’s development of horizontal fracturing technology to exploit its own shale gas reserves. He warned that “massive taxpayer subsidy” may be used to get into a market where prices can only decline. Weaver also repeated the Green Party’s call for a provincial budget officer, similar to the federal office that reviews government plans before they are implemented. “We have accountability at the tail end of policy,” he said. B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk said she expects Weaver to have more influence than other independent MLAs, because of his Green affiliation, his relationships with B.C. Liberal MLAs and his scientific credentials. Weaver has taken leave from his faculty position at the University of Victoria, but he said he will remain active in his scientific role. B.C. Liberal MLAs are to be sworn in at the legislative chamber next Tuesday, along with Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington. NDP MLAs take the oath on Wednesday. Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart announced Wednesday he will resign his seat as soon as he is sworn in, making way for Clark to run in a by-election in mid-July.

Our Viewpoint

Cities require more support Municipal politicians from across the country flooded into Vancouver for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ convention. And while their backgrounds were diverse, their message was strikingly similar: fix the funding. It’s not a new complaint. For decades Canada’s cities have been telling Ottawa they need more money if they are to do the things they are increasingly expected to do. The complaints began in the 1990s when the federal government cut funding as it dealt with a ballooning deficit and public debt. As transfer payments to provincial governments shrank, so too did many of the services the federal government traditionally provided (like low cost housing). Today, cities are faced with providing services they never did in the past, particularly in the realm of social services, transportation, and policing.

They’ve done this because they’ve had little choice. There is no one left to download the cuts to. Instead, they must find new revenue from a taxpayer pool that is shallow and offers little flexibility. Deferring expenses is an option, but as roads and bridges deteriorate, it leads to an infrastructure deficit. That’s left municipalities calling for a change in the way cities are funded. According to a report released at the convention, municipalities only receive eight cents of every tax dollar raised despite their expanding responsibilities. There were promises of new money at the convention, but that’s not enough. What is needed is a change in the way the funding flows. Canada’s cities have grown up. It is time federal and provincial governments stop treating them like children who are incapable of spending their allowance responsibly. - Black Press

Sugar Cane residents (from left) Rainbow Cady, 13, Paris Cady, 9, and Colby Cady, 14, get ready for a plane ride with Williams Lake Flying Club pilot Larry Chambers Saturday at the Springhouse Airpark. The WLFC hosted COPA Flight 21, volunteering their time to offer free plane rides to kids.

Editor: On June 8 I went on my first plane ride. We arrived at the Springhouse Airpark for the Williams Lake Flying Club’s annual Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Flight 21 airplane rides and checked in. I got my name tag and met my pilot. On my first flight I was scared to go on the plane because I was afraid to go up high. My pilot’s name was Marty. He was very kind to me and made me feel safe in the plane. Marty had to make the plane go really fast so that it could take off and I was a bit afraid of that but after I got in the sky I conquered my fear. It looked very cool up high! The plane is a red and white 1947 piper and very old (older than my grandma). Only two people can fit in this plane, the pilot and one passenger. I think that Marty was talking to other planes on his headphones and I got to talk to him on my headphones. The inside of the plane is very small but it had windows big enough for me to see out. There were dials in the plane that told the pilot where we were in the sky but there was no steering wheel! It was OK, though, because there was a stick thing in front of Marty that he used to steer us around with. Up in the sky I saw trees and a big river. It was fun going on the plane. I even got a certificate that says I did it! I flew in a plane for the first time and then Marty gave me my new nickname — Smiley! On the way back in the car, my grandma and I saw two deer cross the road and jump a fence right in front of us. That was cool, too. I want to go on a plane again next year! A very big thank you to Marty and all the volunteers from the Williams Lake Flying Club that made my very special day possible. Kendra O’Neill Williams Lake

Campus names impact history of community Editor: Last Tuesday the School District 27 board announced the new name for the one school, two campus model. There’s nothing wrong with Lake City Secondary. But instead of using the streets to name the different campuses why not keep the four-plus decades of history of Williams Lake and Columneetza and simply call the campuses Lake City SecondaryColumneetza Campus and Lake City Secondary-WL campus.

I am 99.9 per cent sure that Mr. Thiessen and many of the other board members all graduated from Columneetza. Columneetza opened in 1967. If you take a rough average of 200 graduates per year times 46 years that’s 9,200 graduates. Now the board wants to erase the history of all those graduates. Perhaps in a small way I am overreacting, but every graduate of every school should carry a sense of pride in their school of graduation along with the

memories of their friends and education. What do each of us do now? Say I graduated from a school that no longer exists? Why reinvent the wheel and call it the black rubber donut? I understand the philosophy of change but their choice shows me an incredible short sightedness of the impact this decision has on the history of education in our community and, therefore, the history of the community. Is it truly progress or just an-

other example of a body taking a community through a process of regress. I proudly walked the halls of the school with my son on Tuesday telling him stories of my time there, showing him my grad 1984 class photo. I am insulted and dismayed at the board’s decision. In my opinion it’s not the best way to honour the students, past or present, or the community at large. Trent Martens, class of 1984 Williams Lake

Should be: Canada’s Capital of Western Heritage Editor: Attending the City of Williams Lake rebranding meeting, I was reminded of the words as quoted in an e-mail to me from the city’s Alan Madrigga. “We aren’t accepting presentations at the meeting. It will be an information presentation primarily, with a chance for questions about the presentation at the end.” Those in attendance would only be allowed to listen to what was already fairly well known, like a mother giving a child bad tasting medicine, more blarney about why the city needs to rebrand itself. Following an uproar from

those in attendance, Mayor Kerry Cook relented and many were able to express their opinion. In listening and watching Madrigga’s Power Point presentation it seems the whole affair is, as I am reminded, similar to the Campbell government’s decision to sell BC Rail and the invoking of the hated HST tax. The city, mayor and council appears to view itself as having a mandate to do whatever it likes, damn the torpedos it’s full speed ahead. By the time the next election rolls around everybody will have forgotten the whole issue and Williams Lake may have long since taken on a handle somewhat like the “Republic of Life.” I reminded councillor Ivan

Bonnell that when I ran for mayor in 2002 I argued at that time with fellow candidates Ivan Bonnell, Rick Gibson and Kerry Cook that Williams Lake should take on the handle “Canada’s Capital of Western Heritage.” Ivan replied, “old news.” I believed at that time that it would be an important and possibly prosperous way for Williams Lake to gain unique world recognition, a name that would be subject to curiosity, and I continue to think, having such a handle would be, even today very relevant, and would have cost absolutely nothing. I here quote a recent CBC broadcasting comment about the Calgary Stampede.

“Calgary Stampede: Celebrating Canada’s Western Heritage. For 10 days in July, mild-mannered Calgarians don skin-tight wranglers, big shiny belts and even bigger Stetsons and go into “Stampede mode.” Not much work gets done as cowboys, Indian princesses, ferris wheels and pancake breakfasts take hold of the city. From its humble beginnings in 1912 to the ongoing controversy over chuckwagon races, the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede continues to be Canada’s annual salute to the good old days of the Wild West.” Doug Wilson Williams Lake

Pedal by the Puddle says farewell Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Tuesday, June 11

After six years of pedalling it was a bittersweet end for riders, volunteers and organizers Sunday as the lakecity’s Pedal by the Puddle enduro mountain bike event was held for the last time. Ivor McMahen, one of the event’s organizers and a member of the Williams Lake Cycling Club, said despite the event’s wild popularity the WLCC and the organizing committee felt it was time for a change. “After six years of doing the same style of event some of the excitement and freshness has worn off,” McMahen said. “Every year it’s a huge amount of work for myself and for all the volunteers so we’re looking hard at things … It was time to take a break and look at possibly mounting a different style event in the next year or so.” Some ideas have been floated around, he said. Particularly, the WLCC is looking at incorporating a two- or three-stage race into the future event. “It would showcase a lot more of our trails than this format does,” he said. “It would also bring people to town for overnight stays and from a tourism perspective it would bring a lot more people into the city, which is part of what we’re trying to achieve here. “We’re hoping [this isn’t the end],” McMahen said. “We’ll let the volunteers have a bit of a rest and recharge and we’ll look at what we can do to put on something new and fresh. Change is always good.” This year’s Pedal by the Puddle, held on some of Williams Lake’s finest singletrack in the South Lakeside area, required riders of all skill levels to ride around a 10-kilometre loop, some as part of a relay team, for six hours. The object of the race was to complete as many laps as possible in six hours. This year’s race featured 138 registered adults plus another 40 to 50 participants in the Micro and Mini Pedal by the Puddle races for kids. “About eight years ago Scott Gordon, Scott McCreight and I were daydreaming about hosting a mountain biking event here to get some interest in riding, show off the trails and just encourage

The race is over and everybody stops at the same time whether it’s your first race and you’re a beginner rider or whether you’re an elite and you’ve done many, many laps so it’s a very supportive format for anybody that hasn’t done an event before.” The top three results from each race class (where applicable) are as follows.

Blue Fins ‘classic’ in Kamloops Twenty Williams Lake Blue Fins swimmers made some big splashes down in Kamloops last weekend in the last meet of the year for most of the club. In one of the largest B.C. meets of the year, the Kamloops Classic June Classic, the Williams Lake group swam their way to 20 top-10 finals and five top-eight finals. Coral Choi managed the

only individual medal of the group with a third-place finish in the 100-metre breaststroke. Top eight finishers were: Coral, Kara Zavitz, Tracey Beauchamp, Leif Brandson, Gracie Frost and Keanna Saunders. Top 16 finishes went to: Landon Christensen, Madison Blusson, Ashley Beauchamp, Danika Robson, Chloe Syl-

vain, David Russell, Geneva Gordon, Hunter Casselton and Daniel Rich. The 10-and-under girls relay consisting of Kasha Vitoratos, Keanna, Hunter and Gracie made their way to a top-three finish in their 200-metre medley relay. Another notable swim was rookie Landon Christensen’s 100-metre butterfly where he swam his way

to a ninth-place finish overall. The meet marks the last meet of the year, except for provincialqualifying swimmers. David Russell, Ashley, Tracey and Geneva are each preparing for the AA Provincial Trials in two weeks in Victoria while Kara, Madison and Coral have their sights set for UBC in July at the AAA Provincial Championships.

Mountview students make musical fun The gymnasium, halls and classrooms at Mountview Elementary School were alive with the sound of music last week, when the school recorder groups, band students and Mountview Borderband took the stage for a Musical Extravaganza. Principal Rick Miller directed two recorder groups from the school and provided a great demonstration on the differences between the sopranino, alto, tenor and bass recorders. School District 27 band instructor Dena Baumann introduced the school band students and directed them in group, solo and duet pieces – fun, lively, entertaining tunes that showcased the students’ skill and engaged the audience. Also on stage was the Mountview Borderband, made up of 35 Mountview students in grades 4 to 7 and a group of community musicians - Rick Kokesch on acoustic guitar, Mark Law on drums, Dan St. Amand on lead guitar, Ken Yarema on bass, Mackenzie Magnowski on fiddle and LeRae Haynes and Maddison Magnowski on piano. Principal Rick Miller calls the Musical Extravaganza “incredible.” “The crowd of over 150 parents, relatives and friends were treated to an excellent evening of very powerful music. Every staff member who saw it, parents, grandparents, and others in attendance loved it, as did all of the students! “I continue to get very positive accolades from staff, parents and students,” Miller said. “When I went to each of the classes the next day and asked about the concert, the kids loved it.” For Mountview Borderband these concerts were the culmination of two months of fast-paced fine-tuning and high energy vocal practices for the kids. Haynes went into the school for one hour a week, and in eight hours the kids learned eight songs. Their song list included tunes by Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Hillary Duff, Mat Kearney and the Dixie Chicks, as well as three original tunes written by Haynes: The Frog, Hey Galahad and I’m Your Pet and You’re My Person. “I thought the inclusion of Borderband to play with the kids was awesome. It so added to the quality and energy of the performance and the students learned how to work with others while making music,” Miller continued. “LeRae’s energy, enthusiasm and methods of engaging the students

Youth ride begins

The Mountview Borderband was full of enthusiasm as they sang various songs and sometimes accompanied the songs with various insturments. is very powerful and contagious. “The only surprise to me was how well everyone performed and how well it all came together, especially as we never had a chance to practise together. “This was truly a collaborative effort with a group of very willing and talented people.” During the daytime concert in the gym, the group was three lines into Mat Kearney’s song Sooner or Later when the power went out. The gym was instantly dark and all the electric instrument were silenced. The kids didn’t miss a note, performing the whole song accompanied by drums and acoustic guitar, as well as enthusiastic

clapping by the audience. The evening concert ended with a special musical number directed by Baumann, featuring band students, recorder players and singers from the school, and several Borderband members. The song was Is Somebody Singing written by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and Ed Robertson from the Barenaked Ladies and played by Hadfield from the International Space Station. Miller said that the finale, including all Grade 4-7 students and Mountview Borderband singing and playing instruments, was very powerful. “There were many tears from parents in the crowd and the stu-

dents all really enjoyed the opportunity to perform together,” he stated. “I believe they really learned how powerful music is and exactly how much can be accomplished in a short period of time if you put the effort into it. “I think that this concert will have a lasting effect on many students and it will spur them on to continue to enjoy and make music, both by using their voices and/or playing an instrument,” Miller said. “What it means to the school is that we need to continue to support music in our school and look to build on our already active program to include even more students in future years.”

The fifth annual Xeni Gwet’in Youth Wagon Trip runs June 21 to 28. The group extends their gratitude each year for the logging trucks and other motorists who take time to slow down while passing the group safely as they travel the back roads from Big Creek logging roads up past Farwell Canyon and onto Highway 20 at the Toosey Road/Highway 20 junction and into the city for Stampede.

Special to The Tribune

Jenny Palmgren is the new summer reading club co-ordinator at the Williams Lake Library.

Jenny Palmgren is the new summer reading club co-ordinator for the Cariboo Regional District library in Williams Lake. She said that she will organize fun summer activities for kids in the library including games, crafts, reading books and meeting friends their own age. Palmgren said that she was delighted to get the job. “My friend Melissa had this job before me and she absolutely loved it and thought I would, too, so I applied,” she explained. “I was an avid reader from the time I was very

young — I lived in the library when I was a kid. I also really like being with kids — I babysat since I was 11 years old, was a camp counsellor and sometimes looked after my friends’ kids.” The combination of kids and the library is very appealing to Palmgren, who said that she is looking forward to giving kids opportunities to have fun with reading during the summer. The free summer reading club theme this summer is Up, Up and Away, with themes that include birds, bats and flying insects, super heroes and super powers, aircraft and flights, journeys and expeditions, stargazing and weather and space ex-

ploration. Registration dates for the program, which starts on July 2, are Sat-

urday June 22, Tuesday June 25, Wednesday June 26, Thursday June 27 and Friday June 28.
