It’s been history in the making this week as three separate Tsilhqot’in First Nations groups took to horseback, bicycle and horse and wagon to come to the 93rd Annual Williams Lake Stampede. Recreating the early history of the Williams Lake Stampede, the Xeni Gwet’in Youth Wagon Trip started its

11th annual eight-day, 187-kilometre journey June 20 from Konni Lake and arrived in Williams Lake just in time for the start of the first rodeo performance Thursday evening. Another group, the Tl’etinqox Horse and Bike Riders, left the community of Tl’etinqox (Anaham) Saturday, June 22 and arrived in Williams Lake Wednesday afternoon via Highway 20. They consisted of a mix of riders from Yunesit’in
(Stone), Tl’esqox (Toosey), Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) and Tl’etinqox (Anaham) and set up camp at the RC Cotton Site once in town. For the first time ever, members of the ?Esdilagh First Nation and Alexandria community members are also reviving the tradition by making the journey to the Stampede via horse and wagon. This group travelled the West Fraser Road, crossing the Fraser River at the
historic Rudy Johnson Bridge and came into town on the Old Soda Creek Road, and Mackenzie Avenue. All three groups camped each night, often connecting with local ranchers along the way, and all are expected to be a part of the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade Saturday. Congratulations to all for making the journey safely and welcome to the 93rd Annual Williams Lake Stampede.

AN APPLE A DAY... A bit of pharmacy history….In the early 1930s, there was a product available as a nasal decongestant. Called benzedrine, it actually contained metamphetamine, an addictive stimulant and was much used during WWII to combat fatigue and keep soldiers awake and as a weight-loss method. But was taken off the market in 1960 because it cause serious addiction in users. There are fewer breast cancers found among women in Asia than inNorth American women. Reasons for this could be due to a high consumption of green tea and soy products like tofu. Asian women also eat more mushrooms. There may be other variables at play here but these three seem to set Asian women apart from those in western countries and may be responsible for lower breast cancer rates. History moment: Joseph Priestley in 1775, was first to synthesize nitrous oxide but it was made popular by Humphry Davy who called in laughing gas and found it helped relieve pain. But it wasn’t until 1844 that the gas was used as a dental anaesthetic but it is used by very few dentists today. Each year, over 78,000 Canadians are diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancers while about 7000 develop melanoma. People can die from skin cancers. Just think of one of Canada’s most beloved broadcasters, Stuart McLean, who died of melanoma in February of 2017. The use of sunscreens has been proven to protect the skin and reduce the risk of melanoma. Again, use it regularly and enough of it for each application.

Pride parade receives green light Monica LAMB-YORSKI Staff Writer
Organizers of a 2019 Pride! in the Puddle Festival in Williams Lake scheduled for July 27 and 28 received unanimous approval from city council at its regular meeting Tuesday. It will be the first Williams Lake Pride Festival, said festival chair Charlotte Mortimer during a presentation to city council. Things will kick off with a parade on Saturday, July 27 at 11 a.m. departing from the Central Cariboo Arts Centre, ending in Boitanio Park where there will be a celebration. “We do have police escort at the front of the parade and we will have two quads with search and rescue at the back,” Mortimer said, adding they have contacted many other organizations in the

community that will be walking in the parade or hosting tables at the community event taking place in the park after the parade until 4 p.m. The event in the park will be family-oriented with different information booths, games, bouncy castles, musicians, and anyone that can entertain, she said. Coun. Jason Ryll thanked Mortimer for the presentation, said he looked forward to it, and asked what the event will mean for the Williams Lake Pride Society. “This actually shows our members that Williams Lake is a safe and inclusive community for members of our society that are interested in bringing in tourists to other areas and see what our beautiful community has to offer,” Mortimer responded. “Personally, I think it’s long overdue.

Tender awarded for airport electrical rehabilitation Monica LAMB-YORSKI Staff Writer
The Williams Lake airport will receive a major airfield lighting upgrade with work slated to begin mid-July. City council unanimously awarded the tender for the project to Houle Electric Ltd. of Burnaby in the amount of $1,112.783.33, excluding GST. The only other
bid was from Quality Excavating and Construction of Williams Lake for $1,377,360. Mayor Walt Cobb said it is good news for the City as the entire cost is being covered by a $1.5 million Airports Capital Assistance Program (ACAP) grant. “The lighting was getting questionable up there,” Cobb said. “I want
to thank our MP Todd Doherty for helping us get the grant approved.” Coun. Scott Nelson said the City began applying for an ACAP grant back in 2013 for the project and resubmitted the application repeatedly. “It’s an example of our staff never giving up on grant o p p o r t u n i t i e s,” Nelson said. “We are getting a signif-
icant upgrade that is being funded 100 percent.” Airport manager Tim Lussier said the work should take approximately three months to complete. In a previous interview, he told the Tribune the project will see all the airfield lighting replaced on the runway, taxiway and apron, including all underground conduits and conductors, as well as

a new aerodrome LED beacon and new approved upto-date wind socks. During the meeting, council also approved the purchase of two new pickup trucks — a half-ton 2019 Ford F150 extended cab and a three quarter ton 2019 Ford F250 regular 4X4 cab, both from Lake City Ford in Williams Lake at the price of around $53,000 each.

The stage is set for the 2019 Williams Lake Stampede Mountain Race and it promises to be an exciting lineup. In all, 10 racers are signed up for each rodeo performance starting Thursday night, then Friday night, Saturday and the final on Sunday. Except for two Merritt racers, Tyson Coutlee and Quinton McRae, the race belongs largely to the Xeni Gwet’in riders. Racers include Howard Lulua, Darren Sulin, Leo Quilt, Steve Quilt, D a r re n Setah, Dax Setah, Dylan Lulua and Conway Lulua. Conway was the overall winner last year. This year it’s anybody’s game, with Howard Lulua back in the race following a crash in 2017 that saw Lulua break both ankles and a shin and kept him from competing in 2018. At 49, Sulin is also a longtime racer who breeds his own horses for the event. Sulin lives at Nimpo Lake and is sponsored by Tl’etinqox (Anaham). In an interview

Canada has a lot to celebrate Across Canada, this coming weekend will spawn a host of celebrations as Canadians don their red and white clothing, grab their lawn chairs and coolers, and make their way to any one of thousands of community celebrations. And we’ve got a lot to celebrate. Our politics–as much as they are sometimes raucous and even rocked by scandal– are positively sedate when compared to the rest of the world, notably our neighbours to the south. Our leaders can and often do read. And we welcome the world when they arrive on our doorstep. That last characteristic gives us a pretty amazing range of customs, food and fun. We have universal health care, lead the world in legalizing cannabis, and eat Smarties and drink bloody Ceasars. We produce talented actors, comedians and hockey players, and consume about 25 percent of the world’s Kraft dinner. And don’t be fooled by our toothsome national symbol. Beavers are tough. They’ve even taken down large birds of prey who foolishly attack take them or their young for

a tasty snack. (Hmmm…there’s a cautionary metaphor there somewhere.) But all kidding aside, Canada is a pretty great place to live. One need only take a look around to confirm that we live in the heart of a beautiful country. But arguably it’s the people that make Canada great and, again, that’s on full display in the Cariboo. Our community has artists and authors, athletes and performers, and stewards of nature who reflect the heartbeat of the community. And when someone is in need or when tragedy strikes the community we come together to help those who are most in need. We offer support, encouragement and love. So, when Canada Day rolls around, we encourage everyone to join with their neighbours at Williams Lake’s Canada Day celebrations in Boitanio Park. We have a lot to celebrate and, even if some of the world sees us as those funny people who apologize for everything and say ‘eh’ a lot, we know better. - Black Press

Hay prices skyrocket; good for sellers, bad for buyers What do you do when hay prices are soaring above already extremely high rates? Why does this matter? What does it mean to the rural economy? A search of the available hay for sale tells me prices are in the range of $300. Per ton for round bales and small squares are $10 each which means about $385 per ton. Last year prices settled out at about $175. For average hay in round bales and $7 per small square making them about $245/ton. Now the cost of horse

hay has just doubled or tripled over the last two years. But it is early in the season and we don’t know what alternatives will cost or supplements which will extend or supplement your hay to get the nutrition your animals need.
weekend
If we had a supply of straw as they do on the prairies, we might manage better, but transportation is expensive too. If you are lucky and you have a long-term relationship with a hay farmer who wants to keep you as a customer when and if prices go down or they are just fair minded, you might just find a better deal. I know a small hay producer who has sold his small square bales for $7 this summer. He just doesn’t like the idea of charging 50 per cent more, which might be the market now. It is early in the sea-
son and the weather might allow for good harvests and there just might be better deals in the offing. However, as near as I can tell, the forecasts for the prairies and the Peace River are not all that promising. Too much moisture in some parts and drought in other parts is what the agriculture press is saying. Hay farmers may make good profits this year as last, but some cattle producers will bite the bullet and reduce their herd. Right now, prairie livestock owners are
selling off basic herds or parts of them. If too many sell off their animals then price will go down and other producers with abundant or adequate feed will be able to buy lower and grow their herd. We are part of a North American cattle market and demand from the U.S. side can keep our prices higher than if Canada was the only market. There are troubling signs at the moment with China stopping new shipments of meat from Canada because some pork exporter falsified documents
which didn’t disclose a forbidden feed substance which was found in some pork. Of course, relations with China are so bad these days, that it takes very little if anything to create a trade barrier. Luckily, China is only something like 2 per cent of our meat exports. Now back to the price of hay: good for the hay sellers, bad for the hay buyers. If you have great hay you might sell it and buy back a lesser quality and, if necessary, supplement with other protein and fodder sources.
In order not to short your cattle on what they need for growth and reproduction, one will have to sharpen the proverbial pencil to help make the right decision. There is a decision aid available, software called COWBYTES, from Alberta. Have fun calculating your needs! David Zirnhelt is a rancher and member of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association.

Canopy Meg, Dr. Margaret Lowman; a living legend Doctor Margaret Lowman has a number of titles, including Canopy Meg and Einstein of the tree canopy. She is well known for her original work on forests throughout the world mostly in the tropics. I first heard about her work when Paul Kennedy interviewed her on the CBC Ideas program last week. She has written over a hundred scientific papers as well as three books on her work done over the last three decades. She has also participated in many speaking engagements including a Ted Talk and her own YouTube video. Her interests in forests started early when she was growing up in a small town in the eastern U.S. when she spent many hours in a tree house with her best friend next door. She married a farmer in Australia and was raising her two boys as well as working on forest research projects dealing with measuring tree leaf mortality in the mid canopy using climb-

ing ropes. She was instrumental in determining the cause of the wide spread mortality of the eucalyptus trees in Australia. Because she was being bypassed by people with much less experience she moved back to the U.S. with her two boys. One of her major accomplishments was to document that almost 50 per cent of life on Earth that is estimated to live in tree canopies (mostly in the mid layers), yet this was an unexplored region until about 25 years ago. Much of her work has involved solving the challenge of just getting into the treetops. Over the years she has used hot air balloons with suspended platforms, canopy walkways, cherry pickers and construc-

Once up there, she discovered that insects eat four times more leaf material than anticipated. She has been instrumental in designing and establishing many forest canopy walkways throughout the world. Some of her recent
work involves the study of forest biodiversity including the amazing rainforest extremophiles, tardigrades (aka waterbears). She is also working on the Ethiopian Church Forests project. “If you see a forest in Ethiopia, you know there is very
likely to be a church in the middle,” writes Alison Abbott in Nature. “... These small but fertile oases — which number around 35,000 and are dotted across the country — are some of the last remaining scraps of the tall, lush natural forests that once covered
Ethiopia, and which, along with their biodiversity, have all but disappeared.” She has been raising funds to educate the locals and support community initiatives of building stone walls from local materials to protect the remaining native forest fragments.
Because of her experience trying to raise her two sons, along with a full time job working on research projects throughout her professional career, she spends considerable time mentoring younger women so they hopefully will be encouraged and able to compete in an area mostly dominated by men. She describes how she has experienced chapters in her life when juggling parenting and career put her at a disadvantage. Science needs the brains of women and since women are the only half of society that can bear children, our system needs to accommodate that. For example, listing child care in a grant budget would be a way to give women more opportunity. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years.

Canada Day, the effective date of the Constitution Act of 1867 and the Stampede — well, it’s not quite as old as our country, but it’s getting up there at 93 years. President of the Stampede Association, Tim Rolph, was the guest speaker of the month at the Williams Lake and
Ken’s Country Kitchen District Chamber of Commerce and his enthusiasm for this year’s event was neat to see. Voted as one of the top 10 Stampedes in North America, this helps make the event
a huge tourism draw for Williams Lake. Some of my Stampede favourites that I enjoy are the bull riding, steer wrestling, the mountain race and the wild cowgirls race. The Let ‘R’ Buck Saloon will be charged up during the Stampede and Aaron Pritchett, a top Canadian country singer, along with Karen Lee Batten — recipient of seven B.C. Country Music Awards, and others
— will be entertaining on the concert stage in the evening. C o n g rat u l at i o n s to Lorne Doerkson, the Williams Lake Stampede volunteer of the year. I have been associated with Lorne in the community since he came to town, and I think that was a good decision by those responsible for making the choice. Don’t forget, folks, there’s a number of activities throughout the long, Stampede
July 1 weekend. That, of course, includes the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade, along with the Rotary Barbecue. There’s also more things going on around Williams Lake this July 1 weekend. The weather is supposed to be what it normally is for this long weekend: overcast, and some showers. If, though, you are like me this weekend — busy — I thought
a quick, but tasty sandwich would do the trick. Beef Sandwich • 3 ounces thinly-sliced beef • 2 tsp prepared horseradish • tsp chili sauce • 1 tbsp light mayo • 2 slices of rye bread • 1 romaine lettuce leaf • 2 slices of tomato • 1 slice of thinly-cut red onion Mix together the horseradish, chili sauce and light mayo.
Spread mixture on one bread slice. Top with lettuce, beef, tomato, onion and remaining bread slice. Take care if you are driving this weekend. There will be lots of people in town so please use a little Stampede sense. I hope you can take in the many family events this weekend. Bye for now and Gooooood Coooooking!

Hope for the Future The greatest enemy we all have is death. Death causes misery and separates us from the ones we love. When viewed from a pessimistic viewpoint, life itself can seem depressing. It is depressing for a person to be born only to suffer hardship, injustice, pain, sickness and eventually cease to exist. From this point of view, life seems futile. It is futile if death has the final answer and there is no life beyond the grave. According to the Apostle Paul, “If our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world” (1 Cor. 15:19). But the good news is that God promises life after death for those who believe and trust in Him; there will be a resurrection. Concerning the resurrection, the Bible affirms that we should not be ignorant and hopeless for “Since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died” (1 Thess. 4:14). That is correct, God will raise His children to life when Jesus returns. There is hope beyond the grave. It is encouraging to look forward to the future life with
promise. But wait a minute, there are more promises. The Bible mentions that in the city of God, the streets are made of gold. Furthermore, there will be “a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal” and there will be a tree of life whose leaves are “for the healing of the nations” (Rev 22:1-2).
PARSONS PEN
BY ALRICK WATSON God. In a vision, the Apostle John said he “saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.” And God Himself said, “Behold, I am making all things new” (Rev. 21:1,5). It can be hard for humans who are accustomed to a world filled with pain, sickness and death to imagine a new world where these things are absent, but we are assured that will be the new reality. The time will come when “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” for God will be with His people and He “shall wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Rev. 21:3-4). It is hopeful to look forward to this meaningful
The new world will be so glorious that “the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind” (Isaiah 65:17). God “will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” (Isa. 43:19). The animals will also be at peace: “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together, and a little child shall lead them” (Isa 11:16). With all things considered, it is still difficult to imagine what the future with God really holds. We are told that “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Cor. 2:9). Death does not have the final answer, God does. Let us anchor our hope in God and take hope in the life to come. Let us live for God now so that we can live with Him forever. It will be worth it.

Culture Entertainment Cherry Docs does encore performances prior to Mainstage Patrick DAVIES Staff Writer
The Williams Lake Studio Theatre’s 2019 festival play Cherry Docs returns to the stage for two encore performances July 2-3. This production has received widespread praise and acclaim from audiences in both Williams Lake and at the regional zone festival, where it was chosen to go on to the Mainstage provincial competition in Port Alberni in July. To get back into the swing of the play and give lakecity audiences one last chance to see the production, the cast and crew are putting on two last encore performances next week. The doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. shows, with entry both nights by donation at the Williams Lake Studio Theatre. Cherry Docs is an intense adult political courtroom drama written by David Gow that focuses on the interactions between defendant Mike Downey, a neo-nazi skinhead on trial for the drunken slaying of a South Asian man, and his Jewish lawyer Danny Dunkleman, a man coming to terms with his own darkness. Themes of racism, bigotry and the paths that lead people to these places are explored, alongside
themes of forgiveness and redemption. It’s a meaty production, which Shane Tollefson as Danny and Gabriel Zamorano as Mike have been more than keen to tackle. Both men have been working on the production since the beginning of the year and have built intense onstage chemistry that does the source material justice. In Zamorano’s case, he’s been involved in Studio Theatre productions for over 10 months come July, having made his lakecity debut in Table Manners earlier this year. It’s been an intense ride and not exactly what he planned for, but an awesome journey he’s greatly enjoyed embarking on. “The script is amazing, I think we’ve all found that it’s really gripping, meaningful and powerful,” Zamorano said. At Festival this year, Zamorano won an award for best actor which he said was a great part of the experience. Overall, he felt the show has garnered a ton of positive response and feedback, including from the adjudicator at the event. Zamorano said the show has helped promote conversation about issues that have been around for thousands of years and still persist to this day. Zamorano is looking forward to Mainstage

this year and said their performance in Port Alberni will be the “pinnacle” of the show, as he feels all of their previous performances have been building towards this moment. “We’re going to go out with a bang, I think, so it’s going to be pretty fun to do that as well,” Zamorano said. “It’s just a thrilling experience.” Tollefson, meanwhile, has enjoyed working with Zamorano the most on this production and especially likes how they continue to find new things to tweak and add to each night’s production in prepara-

Downtown embraces Stampede Street Party Everyone invited to celebrate in Williams Lake Saturday
Patrick DAVIES Staff Writer
While Downtown Williams Lake may no longer be involved, a half dozen downtown businesses have rallied together to bring this year’s Stampede Street Party to Williams Lake. Originally cancelled due to a lack of volunteers, the popular and long-running Stampede Street Party seemed to be coming to an end earlier this year. However, several members of
the community stepped forward to organize the event and petitioned the City of Williams Lake to allow it. It returns Saturday, June 29 just before noon until 3 p.m., right after the annual Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade. Chrissie Gertzen, owner of Poppy Home and Adventure Charters, is just one of several members of the business community who decided they wanted the street party to happen this year. She said
they include Bob Sunner from Lake Town Furnishings, Carl Johnson from Kit and Kaboodle, Heidi Strong from the Williams Lake Indian Band and Willie Dye, now under the moniker of Ultimate Arty. “We’re kind of the core group that said, OK, the street party needs to stay. We think it’s great for the downtown, we think it’s great for the city, let’s see if we can pull it together,” Gertzen explained. The key reason for this
is, while the volunteers may have been short, the Stampede Street Party has always been successful for local businesses, Gertzen said. Oftentimes, it’s their second or third busiest day of the year. Gertzen observed that in recent years the activities surrounding the Williams Lake Stampede have been shrinking and she and the others wanted to preserve the street party which has been running since 1993. She feels that it gives families
alternative activities to do in between rodeo performances while showcasing the best the downtown has to offer, hopefully promoting future tourism. By virtue of being a community-run affair, Gertzen said they were able to open up the event to businesses and organizations outside of the downtown who wanted to be involved in the party. Farmers market vendors will be making an appearance at the event, as will the Lakers Car Club, indicative of “renewed enthusiasm,” Gertzen said with roughly 70 vendors from outdoors businesses scheduled. As in previous years, the party will extend from Third Avenue down to Mackenzie Avenue, Second Avenue to Borland Street and from the corner of Third and First all the way to Yor-

ston Street. Gertzen said that most of the vendors and businesses are the same as in previous years. Unlike previous years, they’ve tried to spread the vendors and entertainment out into the wings to encourage people to check out more than just Oliver
Street. Events including three hours of music will be organized for the event on the ‘rock the block’ stage by Arts on the Fly from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., the Williams Lake Stampeders will be signing autographs and playing ball hockey with children, the old tradition of the ‘Bull Throwing Contest’ will kick off at noon, and there will be a fun, Microfest Auto RC Race starting at 12:45 p.m. between Thunder Mountain Speedway drivers and the RCMP. The Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre will be doing RC car demos following the race. Certain participating businesses not in the downtown will be offering discounts that day if you have photographic evidence of yourself attending the Stampede Street Party.
“My greatest hope for this event is that it is equal to the great job the BIA has done in the past and I’m excited to see how the expanded model of businesses from outside the downtown core works,” Gertzen said. “I’m also very excited to see families and tourists downtown supporting our local businesses and vendors.” For detailed information on the location of vendors and events, Gertzen encourages people to check out the event’s Facebook page the Williams Lake Stampede Party. She’d like to thank Williams Lake City Councillors Craig Smith and Scott Nelson for their roles in securing funding for this event. The opening ceremony will kick off the Street Part at 11:45 a.m. at Oliver Street and Second Avenue.

Wild Cowgirl Racer Angie MINDUS Staff Writer
For Rock Creek cowgirl Michelle Van Baalen, the Williams Lake Stampede is a great place to meet old friends, make new ones and take part in the Wild Cowgirls Race. Van Baalen and her boyfriend, Benjamin Booth, were down at the Stampede Grounds Wednesday evening settling in for a weekend of fun in Williams Lake
by taking Booth’s horse and Van Baalen’s mule named Margaret out for an evening ride around the track. Van Baalen is signed up to compete for her third year in the Stampede’s Wild Cowgirls Race Saturday afternoon. She said she made so many good, lifelong friends from the Wild Cowgirls Race, that she wouldn’t miss it. “I met some really cool people here,” said

Van Baalen. “That’s why it’s worth the drive.” Van Baalen will be racing Booth’s horse as a last minute replacement for her horse that was injured. She also brought along her Fjord mule Margaret who she purchased from a man at Lone Butte with some of her winnings last year. Van Baalen will be stopping by with Margaret in Lone Butte on her way home to visit the previous owner.

First Annual ?Esdilagh ride to WL Stampede Monica LAMB-YORSKI Staff Writer
?Esdilagh (Alexandria) First Nation’s inaugural ride to the Williams Lake Stampede may have been smaller in numbers than other rides but enthusiasm was not lacking. As they prepared to make the final leg into Williams Lake Thursday morning, Chief Roy Stump said leadership decided they wanted to do something for the community’s youth and elders. “They see the other nations doing that with their kids, riding bikes and horses to town, so we wanted to do something too,” he told the Tribune. “It’s only a three-day journey for us.” Riders and support vehicles departed from the health centre at ?Esdilagh and travelled
to the old Soda Creek Ferry area for the first night. “Last night we camped at the Fraser River Ranch and this morning we crossed the Rudy Johnson Bridge,” Stump said. Community member Shawn Billyboy described participating in the ride as a “blast from the past.” “I’ve been on the ride from out west before, but this is the first ride for ?Esdilagh and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it,” Billyboy said.

Tl’etinqox continues Stampede tradition Angie MINDUS Staff Writer
The 18th annual Tl’etinqox Horse and Bike Ride arrived in Williams Lake Wednesday afternoon for the Williams Lake Stampede. The group, made up of riders from four communities of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, travelled from Tl’etinqox (Anaham) since Saturday, June 22 and are made up of a mix of about 26 horseback riders and as many as 40 bike riders, from young children to adults. The riders camped at the River Ranch Saturday night, followed by Jack Palmanteir’s place Sunday and Monday night, where they enjoyed a rest day and a gymkhana for the children. “He is always waiting for us,” said Ted Sam, who has been leading the horse ride since it began, of Palmanteir. “He loves what we do and he sure gets lonely when we leave.” Tuesday night the group camped at Meldrum Creek and Wednesday they made their way down and up the Sheep Creek hill and bridge, over the Fraser River, towards town.

Sam said the ride has got stronger and bigger every year since. “I always bring Roland’s horse along so that he is with us,” Sam said of Alphonse. A horse trainer and range rider who also works with youth, Sam said the ride is all for the youth and keeping them connected with horses, the land and their communities out west. “It’s so important

Forest to Fork provides Deni House traditional food Patrick DAVIES Staff Writer
Food might seem a simple thing to your average citizen, but for elders and seniors, the right traditional food can make all the difference. It’s why Interior Health has launched a new weekly program at Deni House called Forest to Fork, which aims to provide traditional dishes for residents once a week. This initiative has come out of a partnership with the Tsilhqot’in National Government, who provided information on local traditional dishes. Megan Dark, the population health dietitian for the Cariboo-Chilcotin, previously worked for the TNG as an Indigenous Health Dietitian, whom she partnered with on this program. Work on this initiative first
began in 2017 at the request of the TNG following community input, Dark said. Originally, she said the “lofty goal” was to provide a true Indigenous foods program for the entirety of Williams Lake, with a pilot program begun at Deni House. This would consist only of local traditional dishes made from locally sourced food including berries, deer and salmon. However, they quickly realized that there are currently legislative barriers that would prevent a citywide initiative of this sort to be implemented, making them redirect their efforts. Instead, they have since designed a traditional foods-inspired menu based off of the experience of local elders and knowledge keepers. Dark said they were

Now with a full four-week alternating menu, Dark said they’ve begun to serve it at Deni House every Thursday for lunch, now
known as the Forest to Fork project. This includes blueberry soup, elk stew, salmon, deer meat and Saskatoon berries to name but a

their culture, Dark said, while being able to eat the food they grew up on provides a lot of comfort and connection to themselves. In addition, the Truth and Reconciliation report found that denying people their traditional food is like denying them their culture and its always good to reduce these barriers when they can for cultural reconciliation. In the future Dark hopes to expand the project and menu to include more local foods, including those of other nations and bands within the Cariboo. She also encourages people with relatives in Deni House to attend the lunchtime on Thursdays to make the lunch more of a social event for the seniors. Non-residents will have to pay a $6 fee to eat.

Providing residents with quality traditional foods is important for their long-term care, Dark said, as it reminds them of home and increases their quality of life by connecting them to culture and themselves. Programs like this already have been employed in other provinces and Dark hopes initiatives like this help encourage their adoption throughout B.C. “As a dietitian, I know that the nutrient density of traditional foods is much higher than market foods or commercial foods. We know that people who eat more traditional food are healthier and suffer from less chronic diseases,” Dark said. Elders who enter residential care and are unable to access their traditional foods often suffer a disconnection from

Paynton departing for new job in Abbotsford Monica LAMB-YORSKI Staff Writer
After working a decade for the City of Williams Lake, the director of community services is moving on for a new job in Abbotsford. Geoff Paynton said looking back over his career in the lakecity, the biggest highlight was the new pool and expansion project which took almost eight years from start to finish. “From when we first decided that’s where we were going to go until what we have now, it was a long process. There was the pre-planning, the consultation with the public, getting the funding and then going back out to the public, finalizing the detailed design and then building it,” Paynton said. There have been several other changes to the Cariboo Memorial
Angie Mindus photo
Williams Lake’s director of community services, Geoff Paynton
Complex, he added. “Not only the pool, we have great parking now, the new entrance to the arena side and a lot of things the public doesn’t see in the background like the mechanical systems in behind closed doors that are in great shape. The building, especially on the mechanical side is very sound.” All the roofing is new too.
“This building is in good shape and a real gem for a community this size,” he added. One of the biggest challenges through his time at the complex was the 2012 chlorine leak in the old pool. “It was certainly unexpected and dealing with things like that are never fun. You do your best, nobody got hurt seriously, and we got through it. It was the big impetus for getting the new pool.” Three times during his tenure, the City activated its Emergency Operations Centre due to wildfires and Paynton was part of planning, and mainly as the information officer. “The emergency evacuation plan we used in 2017 was actually developed on the back of a napkin in 2010 when Geoff Goodall and myself came up with a plan. Most people probably
don’t know how close we were to evacuating in 2010.” Between 2010 and 2017, the plan was developed more formally, and when the City had to use it, it was ready to go. “I was actually in the newspaper business a long time ago as an editor and a reporter in Port Hardy,” he said. “I have always had an interest in communications and a big part of my job here has been writing reports and communicating.” Paynton remembers standing with former Chief Des Webster in front of the fire hall after the city had evacuated on July 15 and there was an orange glow coming from three sides of the city. “I had the realization there were fires all around us and asked Des what we would do if the fire came into town. He looked at me
and said, ‘there’s a pile of old blankets in the fire hall so we will run down to the lake, get them wet, and go in as deep as you can to keep the blanket over your head.’” At that moment he asked himself what he had done, he said. During the evacuation in 2017, between 300 and 500 Canadian Armed Forces personnel were housed at the complex along with big tanks, trucks and ATVs parked outside. “They occupied both rinks, they used the showers. It was a perfect set up because our ice was out, but the crappy part was we were in the middle of renovations and construction on the pool side and redoing our water tanks so when they first came in we did not have any hot water back there.” While the soldiers only had cold water, they told Paynton it
was better than when they are out in the middle of the bush. “They had a big satellite out in Boitanio Park and their own mess tent where they served all the meals. They came fully self-sufficient.” Prior to moving to Williams Lake, Paynton worked in Prince George and was involved with the Canada Games bid there. “Eight months after I left, Prince George got the bid so they asked me to come back and volunteer on the board of directors, which I did. I went back and forth for board meetings every two weeks for seven years.” He was involved with the Canada Games before that and has been since then, on mission staff in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and various other places. “That’s my volunteer
life. I also work with Pan Am Games and Pacific Sport — it’s my hobby.” In Abbotsford he will be the director of parks and recreation and said he and his wife, Ellen, will miss
Williams Lake. “It’s been good to our family,” he said of the time they spent in the lakecity. “But we will be closer to our boys who are both going to university in Victoria.”

BC 3D Archery Championships hit bull’s-eye for host Cariboo Archers Greg SABATINO Staff Writer
Roughly 135 competitors from throughout the province descended on the lakecity during the weekend where the Cariboo Archers hosted the BC 3D Archery Championships for the second straight year. Prior to the event, volunteers from the Cariboo Archers put in countless hours of work preparing and setting up two courses — an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ course — in the bush near the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Clubhouse off Bond Lake Road for competitors, who shot both each day in multiple divisions and classes, Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23. Shots were creatively designed, incorporating humour and ingenuity, but also balancing difficulty and technique to challenge archers. Lee Jackman, president of the Cariboo Archers, said the feedback he received from competitors was great. “People have been amazed by the courses,” Jackman said, pointing out a shot featuring Smoky the Bear peeing on an unattended campfire, alongside a tent. “I think they are the best two courses we’ve ever put on, and a lot of work went into it. I spent about two weeks up here on them.” Adult and youth archers travelled from as far north as Prince Rupert, with many more travelling from the Lower Mainland, Prince George, Quesnel, Kamloops and the Okanagan, for the event. Jackman noted the weather was great for a two-day shoot — not too hot and just one spat of rain — however, archers needed to rely on their conditioning as they walked both courses, each roughly one kilometre traversing

up and down hilly terrain in the forest. “Conditioning really comes into play,” he said. “By the end of it if you’re not in shape you can really see your shot start to go.” Jackman didn’t participate in this year’s event in order to help make sure everything ran smoothly for competitors, however, said the response from shooters was the reward. “I enjoy it a lot,” he said. “I don’t get to shoot but I like to make sure we’re putting on a good event and hearing the feedback it makes it worth it.” Serious competitors in both youth and adult division, meanwhile, were vying for a spot to represent Team BC in Prince Albert, Sask. for the Canadian Championships during the first weekend in August. And when the dust settled, many Cariboo Archers represented the lakecity well, with some earning a spot on the BC Team for nationals. Local results from the

It’s been a great start to the season for Little Britches Rodeo competitors from the Cariboo. At the Langley Little Britches Rodeo during the weekend Kagen Russell, Denten Russell, Tanner Loring and Brandon Loring each roped and rode to some impressive results. Tanner was sixth in the stake race and second in goat tail tying. Brandon picked up fourth in chute dogging and sixth in goat tying. On Sunday Tanner was second in the stake race, third in barrel racing and fourth in calf undecorating. He also won the steer riding event, winning him the junior reserve all around title. Also on Sunday, Brandon was fourth in chute dogging. Kagen, meanwhile, picked up his third overall all around title of the season in just his first season of competitive rodeo. The 14-year-old, Grade 8 student competed in steer riding, chute dogging, stakes, goat tying and breakaway roping. “First day in Langley I was runner up, then tied for second in steer riding, won steer undecorating, was first in stakes and tied for first in steer riding to win the jackpot overall,” Kagen said, noting he enjoys steer riding the most. “It’s a little more exciting and a little harder.” He said in preparation for this year’s Little Britches Rodeos he’s been practicing lots, and credited his horse, a gelding named Slicker, for helping him be successful. Brandon, Tanner, Kagen and Denten Russell also each competed in several events at the Merritt Little Britches Rodeo earlier this month, bringing home some winning results, and some shiny, new buckles for their efforts. Brandon was fourth June 14 with a 13-second time in chute dogging and followed that up with another fourthplace result June 15 in a fast 6.1-second time.

Kagen Russell competes in the senior co-ed steer riding June 15 at the Little Britches Rodeo in Merritt. Tanner was fifth in stakes, fifth in goat tail tying, third in dummy roping and tied for first in steer riding Saturday to win the junior all around category on the day. Sunday, Tanner was fourth in goat tail tying, seventh in stakes, first in dummy roping and first in steer riding, rocketing him to the junior reserve all around champion for the weekend. He also won the average buckle in the dummy roping and steer riding — where he scored a 75 — for the event. Saturday Kagen was first in chute dogging, fourth in steer riding, sixth in stakes, fifth in goat tail tying and won the all around senior boys title. Sunday Kagen nabbed first in breakaway roping, third in steer riding, fifth in stakes and fifth in goat tail tying for the back-to-back all around senior boys’ title, and was the all around combined champion for both days. Denton placed sixth in goat tail tying June 15. Brady Wood, meanwhile, was third in chute dogging June 14 and eighth in goat tying June 15. Blaine Huffman was sixth in dummy roping June 15 and his brother, Kacey Huffman, was sixth in chute dogging and third in breakaway roping, both on Sunday. Will Roberts took second in breakaway roping June 14 and third in goat tying June 15. As for Stampede this weekend, Kagen said
