Mount Polley Mine ready for restart

As the one-year anniversary of the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach approach-es, the mine is poised to restart on a restricted permit.

“It is anticipated the mine will restart the first week of August,”

said Steve Robertson, vice-presi-dent of corporate affairs for Im-perial Metals Monday.

For the restricted restart, the mine has permission to mill four million tons of ore, which is about half a normal year’s worth of material.

During restricted operations, the mine is only permitted to

store tailings in the Springer Pit. To feed the mill, 1,000 tons a

day will come from the under-ground mine, which has higher grade ore, and the rest will come from the Cariboo Pit.

Once the government issued the restricted restart permit on July 9, 2015, unionized millwrights and electricians were called back

to work to prepare the mill for production.

“During the period of sus-pended operations we took care of some short and long-term maintenance activities inside the mill,” Robertson said.

United Steelwork-ers Union president Paul French said 40 union workers have been recalled so far.

“I don’t have a fi-nal number of how many will be recalled once they get going, and I’m a little ner-vous as to when the actual start date will be because the moon and the stars have to line up first,” French said, noting there are about 120 unionized employees there right now and he’s hope-ful that number will reach 200.

Some of the union’s members have gone to work at Imperial Metals’ Red Chris Mine in northern B.C. and others have gone elsewhere.

“People can only hang around for so long,” French said.

Whether or not the mine is approved for long-term operations, the company is hop-ing to discharge wa-ter in the short term from the Springer Pit and will need to have a plan for long-term water management by 2016.

Minister of Energy

and Mines Bill Ben-net said the mine will not get a long-term permit or a short term permit to dis-charge water into the environment unless it can prove that water will be drinking qual-ity guideline standard and meet the stan-dards for aquatic or-

ganisms. “So it has to be

pretty clean water,” Bennett said.

Presently the eleva-tion of water in the Springer Pit is 1,016 metres above sea level. The permitted level is 1,030 metres because above that it is possible the water

could seep into the groundwater.

Robertson said a water treatment plant has been or-dered from Veolia Water Technologies in Quebec that will be installed below the original tailings im-poundment.

If the company’s

temporary water dis-charge plan is ap-proved by the govern-ment, the company hopes to discharge water from the Springer Pit through two diffuser pipes di-rectly into Quesnel Lake after treatment, Robertson said.

The water would

enter the lake at a lev-el of 40 metres below the surface and below the thermocline.

“The lake will be carefully monitored to ensure we continue to meet all the pre-scribed guidelines,” Robertson said.

People wanting to respond to the water discharge plan can send written respons-es to Mount Polley Mine, Box 12 Likely, B.C. V0L 1N0 or e-mail [email protected].

Bennett agreed the government has been criticized for grant-ing the restricted re-start, but said there are families in the re-gion who are worried about losing their homes.

“It was important to get the mine open, even though the com-pany still has some hurdles to get over,” Bennett said.

Major remediation ongoing at Mount PolleyMount Polley Mine

Corporation continues to work on remediating the site impacted by the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach, including reinforcing the original impound-ment with concrete ag-gregate.

When the tailings im-poundment gave way, an estimated seventeen million cubic metres of water and eight million cubic metres of tailings emptied into nearby Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake.

Once the tailings and water reached Polley Lake and Hazeltine Creek, about five mil-lion cubic metres of water went up into the lake, followed by tail-

ings that blocked off the end of the lake.

The soupy tailings created a plug and caused the lake’s level to increase by 1.7 me-tres.

Pumps were installed in the lake to reduce the water level down to July 2014 levels, which took about three months to achieve.

In its wake, the breach significantly widened the eight ki-lometre long Hazeltine Creek channel, creating a new landscape where formerly a little creek meandered through the woods.

In order to work in Hazeltine Creek, a wa-ter outlet structure was installed to control Pol-ley Lake’s level.

The company has created a new Hazel-tine Creek channel and

is now at the point of armouring it.

Until the work is completed, fish fences have been installed so the fish cannot enter Hazeltine Creek.

The next step is to install spawning gravel.

The new Hazeltine Creek channel has been designed to handle 1.7 cubic metres of water a second, said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs.

The water treatment plant will discharge at a rate of .3 cubic me-tres per second, leaving room for some water from Polley Lake.”

Likely resident Lisa Kraus and her husband Ken Smith were at home sleeping on Aug. 4, 2014 when a neighbour tele-phoned alerting them the Mount Polley Mine had breached.

“We were told to check the lake level in front of our property,” said Kraus, who is also the Likely community co-ordinator.

By 6 a.m., Smith had their boat in the water and went out to see the breach site about eight kilometres away.

“When he got back he said ‘you can’t believe it, there are trees every-where’,” Kraus said.

Once they’d had breakfast they headed back in the boat with a load of people to see what Kraus described as an “unbelievable pile of debris.”

“We could still hear the water running at 10 a.m. The breach hap-pened at about 1:30,”

she recalled. With the one-year an-

niversary of the breach

just around the corner, Kraus said the water in the lake is clear, but

there is still silt in the water, she notices it on her dog who swims in

the lake all the time.“We’ve lived here

since 1986 and have al-ways got our water from a spring, never out of the lake,” she added.

Looking back Kraus said it’s been an interest-ing year and people still have mixed feelings.

“What happened was bad, but we are trying to move forward,” she noted.

“There are still trees and debris coming up from the lake bottom and there will be more because the lake turns twice a year.”

Chuckling she said during a recent day trip to Beehive Island on Quesnel Lake they real-ized they could tell if de-bris is pre-breach or not.

“The new trees are white and stripped of their bark,” she said.

Since January, Kraus has been collecting wa-ter samples every other week in the same spot from the Likely Bridge for the Ministry of En-vironment, and using monitoring equipment checks the levels of turbidity and dissolved oxygen.

When she takes the samples she has to re-port the weather con-ditions and record if a vehicle, person or a bird goes by.

Mount Polley takes the water samples on the alternate week, she added.

Quesnel Lake water sampling continues

Mine spill sediment researched

Soon after the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach, staff from the Quesnel River Research Centre were on the water tak-ing samples and have continued to through-out the year.

“The breach defi-nitely shifted our think-ing,” said Sam Albers, manager of the QRRC Tuesday. “A year out I want to pick up the stuff we collected a year ago and compare it to what we collect this year. And going forward get that year to year comparison.”

On Aug. 6, 2014, staff obtained the first samples from the sedi-ment plume, to mea-

sure for turbidity and temperature.

Over the next few months, the centre will delve into the data that’s been collected but

at this point there aren’t any conclusions.

Staff and research assistants have been taking samples for sedi-ment and plankton in

various locations from Quesnel to the junction at Quesnel Lake.

The lake’s tempera-ture normally increases and decreases, and last year the ejection of cold water would be filled with tailings so there would be a change in colour, Albers said.

“But there’s not the same concentration of tailings now so we’re not getting that visual indication so that’s a positive,” he said. “The turbidity plume has cleared up.”

According to the Mount Polley Mine

Corporation’s Post-Event Environmental Impact Assessment Report, published in June, the sediment from the breach is 10 metres deep in some cases and expands well beyond the opening of Hazel-tine Creek into Quesnel Lake, Albers pointed out.

“That’s a lot of ma-terial that’s in the lake now that wasn’t in it before. We will be won-dering what’s going to happen with that and what sort of conditions will that create,” he said.

It will be interest-ing to see what kinds of bottom sediment ingesting invertebrate recolonize the area and what sort of impact it will have for the bio-availability of all the minerals, he added.

Some time in the fall the centre will holds its annual open house, al-though the date has yet to be confirmed.

At the open house the centre will summa-rize its research to date to share with the public.

“We are also hoping to release papers regu-larly on our findings, but that will take some time,” Albers said.

Latest water test resultsThe Ministry of En-

vironment’s review of water samples taken July 2 to July 9, 2015 at the Likely Bridge and Cariboo River loca-tions showed levels fell within allowable drink-ing water standards.

At the Gravelle Ferry Bridge site there were the following exceed-ances of the BC MOE Drinking Water Guide-lines. Turbidity (for raw untreated water) all dates, and total alumi-

num and total iron on June 9, 2015.

“Prior to the breach, water samples collected from the Quesnel River at the Gravelle Ferry Bridge had elevated turbidity, total alumi-num and iron results,” noted the MOE report. “It was thought that the Cariboo River may be a source of turbidity to the Quesnel River as noted downstream at the Gravelle Ferry site, but the samples taken

during this past month indicate that both Quesnel Lake (as rep-resented by the Quesnel River at Likely Bridge site) and the Cariboo River have very low tur-bidity.”

Health Canada indi-cates there is no weight of evidence for adverse health effects of alu-minum at levels above the guideline, adding the iron drinking water guideline is based on staining and taste.

Our Viewpoint

The right way? Fire safety urgedRetired Canadian astronaut Chris Had-

field and his brother Dave, a pilot, sailor and singer, teamed up to make a music video for Canada Day. Google “Hadfield In Canada” and enjoy.

*** The oil spill in Alberta last week was

nasty, 31,000 barrels of goop dumped in muskeg the size of two CFL football fields. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The pipeline is new, double-walled, state of the art. The state of the art detection technology didn’t work either and the leak was discovered by chance in the old fashioned way. Someone

walking by saw it. Pipeline owners Nexen (a Chinese government cor-poration) leaped into cleanup ac-tion immediately but, as with all

environmental disasters, no one knows what can actually be cleaned up or what will stay put forever. The Mount Polley Mine tailings pond wasn’t supposed to breach either. En-vironmentalists aren’t against industry, they just want things to be done the right way. Question is, what on earth is the right way?

***History was made in Kelowna last week.

Visiting the area to inspect the latest wild-fire scene, both Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Stephen Harper actually acknowledged climate change is real. Ms. Clark said it has made us “much more vul-nerable to fire.” Asked if he thought global warming was contributing to forest fire in-tensity, Mr. Harper reportedly said that is possible. Ms. Clark was visiting her home riding, not sure what the PM was doing there. Hopefully something good will come from their appearance.

***Flora MacDonald died last week. Now

there was a remarkable person. Without any fanfare she went where few women had been before. A “Red Tory” she spent 16 years in parliament (a number as a cabinet minister) championing women’s rights, immigration, bilingualism and other issues  not popular with her Conservative colleagues. After los-ing her seat in 1988 she spent years travelling the developing world empowering women as she worked with groups fighting poverty and injustice.

As you know, fire season is upon us with many wildfires burning throughout the province including Puntzi Lake, which the BC Wildfire Service reports grew to about 8,000 hectares with Rank 4 or 5 fire behav-iour at its peak – meaning it caused trees to candle and spread, crowning or jumping through tree tops.  

Living in a resource-dependent province, with wild space and forested area covering the majority of it, forest fires are to be ex-pected. Over the last couple of years, espe-

cially this year, we have also experi-enced drier-than-normal condi-tions and elevated fire danger ratings in the Cariboo.

A total of 399 human-caused fires have occurred so far this year. This is unacceptable. Natural wildfires are difficult enough to deal with, and we must be very clear that human-caused wild-fires will not be tolerated. It not only costs taxpayers in a huge way as far as resources are concerned, but it also puts people’s lives in danger. This is why our government is tak-ing this issue very seriously, and why we’ve decided to take a look at the current fine and penalty structures related to human-caused forest fires and consider recommendations for a number of penalties. Currently, anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or one year in jail.

Under the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource operations, the Cariboo Fire Centre operations are one of the best in the Province. They use everything from air tankers or water bombers, helicopters, air patrols and fire crews to locate and fight fires. I’d like to thank our emergency and fire crews who work hard in our community and across the province to help ensure we are safe. I can’t emphasize enough that they can’t do it alone and our government can’t do it alone– the responsibility is up to all of us to help prevent fires.

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or an open burning violation, call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone.

Mining controls need adjustmentWork continues to clean up the Mount Polley mine spill that dumped tons

of mine tailings and water into Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake on Aug. 4, 2014.

As we approach the one year anniversary of the spill, it is good to see Impe-rial Metals is taking proactive responsibility for remediation and is working hard to put people in the region back to work as the company expects to restart the mine the first week of August. We also applaud the work being done to monitor the long-term impact of the spill on fish habitat. Quesnel Lake is the fourth largest lake in B.C. and with depths reaching more than 1,500 feet, is the fifth deepest in the world. Its 500 miles of coastline and access to pris-tine wilderness make it a lake worth protecting.

People living in the Likely and Quesnel Lake regions have been hit hard financially and emotionally by the disaster and would like nothing better than to see the site restored to its former natural beauty and we agree.

To that end, provincial and federal governments need to put more effort into creating checks and balances that would prevent disasters such as the Mount Polley spill and the more recent spills such as the spill in the Alberta oil fields last week that dumped 31,000 barrels of crude.

No system is going to be perfect, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to create the best environmentally sound mining practices in the world.

Question of the week

Raspberries to the very incon-siderate person who hit into our van in the Walmart parking lot on May 29.

How thoughtless to bash into someone’s car and drive off. You had to be aware of how hard you hit as we couldn’t open the door and needed a new fender. Thank you to the lady who waited till my son came out of the store with your licence number.

Marg Rowat

Trudy Berkelaar and her fam-ily want to thank and give roses to the Williams Lake emergency room doctors and nurses whose quick thinking and actions saved her life after her heart stopped during a recent emergency room visit.

A huge thank you as well to the medevac team for their com-petent care during the flight to Kamloops.

As always the compassion and professional care she was given at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Royal Inland Hospital was exceptional and we are grateful to each and every person involved in her treatment and recovery.

Ernst Berkelaar

A ton of raspberries to the ̀ tree planter’ who instead of doing their job, put all effort into trying to hide all those young trees in the bushes down at the creek. All that effort you put into trying to hide them should have been used in planting them...Shame on you.

Sara Hazledine

I would like to give roses to all the people connected with the Stampede Ranch Challenge, for a job well done, great participation and organization, thank you.

Jo Hinsche

A basket full of roses to my wonderful neighbours, Lynn and Don Hansen, for helping me with my yard work, and household chores.  Your help is greatly ap-preciated and lifted my spirits.

Thank you,Dorothy Doucette

Roses to Della at True Foods Services for the awesome job ca-tering the volunteer dinner for the Stampede volunteers.  It was a real treat to have so much glu-ten free food and it was all deli-cious!

Kit Nieuwenhuizen

I would like to thank Bryce Combs of Bruce Combs Logging and Bruce Combs and Darren Getz representing the Williams Lake Log Haulers Association for their very generous financial help when Matthew and Crystal Campings’ newborn daughter had to be sent to the hospital in Kamloops.

Your kindness and consider-ation brought relief and comfort to the entire family during this stressful and worrisome time. We’d like you to know it was greatly appreciated.

Marty Camping

A wagon load of sour raspber-ries to the low-life person who stole my two flower hanging bas-kets and a very heavy iron wagon wheel painted white from my yard on Herbert Road.

Keep the baskets but please return the wagon wheel and let me restore my faith in humanity. Just put it back where you took it from.

Stealing from seniors is as low as you can go.

Shame on you. Now do the right thing.

Helen Lockhart

Raspberries to the person who stole my two wrought iron hang-ing baskets with salmon and pur-ple petunias in them two weeks ago.

I hope every time you look at them you feel guilty because you stole them.

Vacant Williams Inn raises concernEditor:

Through the years I and my neighbours have had a negative re-lationship with Williams Inn and city bylaw officers.

Unresolved concerns include theft, drug dealing, trespass, squat-ters, verbal abuse, feral cats and safety issues.

Firefighters have awakened me twice to be on alert. On a third oc-casion I was questioned as a wit-ness in an arson attempt.

When wet the stench from the debris invades my home. The num-ber of squatters and foot traffic past my home to the fire remains has not abated.

Bylaw officers excuse everything by telling me that the owners have “insurance problems” and cannot afford to clear the site. It appears that Williams Inn is exempt from nuisance bylaws and health and safety regulations.

The last fire at Williams Inn, July 5, causes me to demand ac-tion.

I was not at home when the RCMP effected an evacuation.

With no response to door knock-ing, officers kicked in my door and searched my house. The two other vacant units weren’t touched. In questioning witnesses, I learned that the officers did not take one second to shout to my neighbours to ascertain I was away.

My unit is the furthest away from the fire, the fire was con-trolled and the feeling is the offi-cers acted prematurely.

I appreciate concern for my life so this becomes a non-issue, but other questions arise.

I was not notified by the RCMP until, 10 p.m., July 8 when I re-ceived a long distance call notify-ing me that my house in Williams Lake had been “broken into.”

After some misinformation the officer was updated by his part-ner as to the circumstances of the “break in.”

He refused to secure my house Wednesday night. Apparently, it is not in the RCMP job description to secure a building that was forc-ibly entered.

My point is that my door was visibly wide open from Sunday

until Thursday morning. It is for-tunate that no theft or vandalism occurred, as all concerned would have had “insurance problems.”

As approximately 40 per cent of my tax dollar goes to policing I am most upset that the RCMP “pro-tect” code doesn’t extend to secur-ing a home they made vulnerable.

I relate this to give you an idea of the anxiety, fear, anger, and finan-cial damage that non-enforcement of bylaws regarding Williams Inn has caused the residents of Yor-ston Gables.

As a taxpayer, never in arrears, unlike Williams Inn, I am entitled to protection by the city, its laws and personnel in order to live in a safe and peaceful environment.

This will not happen until Wil-liams Inn condemned structures and debris are removed. Point proven by the latest fire.

It is past time for council to take action.

Editor’s Note: Mayor Walt Cobb says cleanup of the site will begin next week. See story Friday.

Seniors’ Village residentseeks volunteers

Editor:

I am a resident at the Seniors’ Village along with other residents all in wheelchairs. When we must go to town for any number of reasons we must have someone to accompany us for safety reasons.

That’s when we need people to volunteer to come with us on the Go-Bus at no cost to them.

There is only one volunteer at present and when that volunteer is not available one must either remand that date or hire an am-

bulance at great cost.That is why more volunteers

are needed urgently.I took the ambulance recently

for that reason.If you can volunteer to help us

out it would be appreciated very much.

If you want to volunteer to help out please phone 250-305-1131.

Thank you very much,

Planning also has to take into account oth-er creeks flowing into Hazeltine Creek and rain and snow fall.

The new channel is also being built to han-dle spring freshet, and with the water control structure, water from Polley Lake can be held back, until all the remediation work is

completed. Part of the resto-

ration has seen the company retrieve trees from the lake, chip them, and bring the chips back to help re-habilitate the banks

along Hazeltine Creek. In other areas, up-

rooted trees have been placed along the banks as well to help restore vegetation.

Work is also being done at the bottom of Edney Creek before the salmon return in late August.

Minister Bill Ben-nett said the govern-ment has yet to hear from two investiga-tions into the breach being conducted by the Conservation Officer Service and the Chief Inspector of Mines, but noted he antici-pates they will impact any future permits for Mount Polley Mine.

International volunteering a joyAt only 31, Melanie Berger has

visited six continents and nearly 50 countries and has seen and done things the average person could only dream of.

One could say that the travel bug and wanderlust was in Mela-nie’s DNA from the time she was born. After all, she is the daugh-ter of parent’s who thought it would be fun to wed at the so-called ‘top of the world’ in Point Barrow, Alaska.

“I was born with the travel bug. It runs in my blood and keeps me moving from place to place,” Berger says.

Berger currently lives in Chile with her husband, Pablo, whom she met at the Trece Lunas Hos-tel in Ancud, Chile in May, 2013.

“Pablo’s best friend is the owner of this hostel I was stay-ing at and he came to visit his friend, and that’s when our paths crossed,” said Berger. “I couldn’t ever imagine this is where I’d be two years ago but that’s what I love about life as it always sur-prises me with wonderful adven-tures and challenges.”

Pablo and Melanie call Ancud home and the town is located on an island in southern Chile.

“I love Ancud because it has that small town feel, like Williams Lake. The people are friendly and have a big sense of humour – they love laughing,” said Berger. “The lifestyle is very easy going, some-thing that one tends to find on small islands.”

Her parents, Willy and Verena, immigrated to the Cariboo from Switzerland in the late 1970s and bought a hobby farm in Spokin Lake where they raised Melanie and her brother Oliver.

By the time she graduated, Melanie had already racked up the airmiles which included a few overseas trips to see family in Switzerland, a high school sci-ence trip to Florida and volley-ball trip to Hawaii.

She also took a six-week French language trip to Quebec City.

Initially headed to Quebec with a friend, she ended up go-ing alone after the friend backed out, something she credits as a stepping-stone to her world travel ambitions.

“The trip to Quebec may have been where I gained confidence and learned a lot about myself as it was very challenging,” said Melanie.

While many of her friends set down roots long ago having chil-dren and working the same job in the same town for years, Mela-nie’s longing for adventure and

life experience has kept her globe-trotting.

“I was considering the idea of settling down especially once I got to South America in 2013.

“I’d wanted to travel here for about 10 years and when I finally arrived I met Pablo and things just clicked,” said Berger.

“I love the Spanish language and Latin culture and feel very comfortable here.”

Melanie and Pablo were mar-ried this past March at a small intimate ceremony in Ancud.

They spent last summer in Wil-liams Lake where Pablo was in-troduced to her parents who still reside in the lakecity,

Willy is a recently retired real-tor and Verena is a writer.

“We loved coming back home — it was a fantastic experience for us both. For Pablo it was great to have the opportunity to travel and live in Canada as he had never travelled outside of South America,” said Berger.

Pablo’s family has a restaurant and Penguin Travel tour com-pany which they both work for on occasion. Melanie also works as an English teacher and often translates on the tours for Eng-lish and German visitors.

Berger graduated from Colum-neetza in 2000 and spent her childhood ski racing, playing vol-

leyball and acrosport. Her current fitness regime in-

cludes long distance running and yoga.

She graduated from the Uni-versity of Victoria in 2006 where she double-majored in Hispanic and Germanic Studies.

While pursuing her degree, Melanie studied abroad in Ali-cante, Spain and Kassel, Ger-many and worked two years at a restaurant in Grünwald, Switzer-land.

After graduation Melanie spent the next few years living in Vancouver working as an admin-istrative assistant for a mining company and a legal assistant for A&W Food Services.

Growing up in a small town left an imprint on Berger as she never saw herself living in a big city.

“Vancouver is a beautiful city but I knew I wouldn’t stay there long term because I prefer small towns,” said Berger.

Her love of travel does not of-ten go hand in hand with her pro-fessional life as twice she’s quit her job and sold most of her be-longings to pursue her next great adventure.

“When I travel I enjoy taking my time so have found it difficult to continue working for a com-pany that only provides me with a few weeks holidays per year,” said Berger.

“I enjoy having flexibility and value my time greatly — my life-style here in Chile provides me with exactly that.”

There are a few causes near and dear to Melanie’s heart which she familiarized herself with along her sojourns.

“I’ve loved elephants since I was born and have a natural con-nection and passion for them,” said Berger.

She dreamt of seeing elephants in their natural habitat and in the Fall of 2008 her dad took her to Tanzania on what she describes as the trip of a lifetime.

Five years later while travelling Bolivia, Melanie got a tattoo on her foot of the first elephant she saw in the wild during this trip.

In March, 2014 Melanie also volunteered at WFFT (Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand) where she worked up close with elephants in Thailand.

“It was extremely hard work — very physical — from 6 a.m. to dusk we cleaned out the en-closures, fed and washed the el-ephants and much more.”

Some of Berger’s other travel highlights include climbing to the peak of Huayna Potos (6,088m) travelling alone in Bolivia which she describes as a ‘great physical and mental challenge’.

She also recalls when she and two friends refurbished an old van to live and travel in around Europe.

“We visited many ski resorts and called ourselves the Powder Hounders, and the van Powder Hound,” said Berger.

On that trip they drove 22,400 kilometres and visited 22 coun-tries in just four months.

Melanie always has pending travel plans and lists New Zea-land, Nepal, Iceland, Norway, Kenya and more of South Amer-ica as future destinations.

She also hopes to return to Canada next year, but plans to stay living in Chile for the long-term.

Williams Lake’s Melanie Berger with one of the elephants she helped care for while volunteering in March, 2014 at the Wildlife Friends Foundation of Thailand. Elephants have always been very near and dear to Melanie’s heart from a young age.

Melanie Berger and her husband Pablo are enjoying life in his hometown of Ancud, on the island of Chiloe in southern Chile.

Thank You For Making

Rare Buddhist artifacts to visitWilliams Lake is one

of only two cities in B.C. hosting a world tour of ancient and sacred Bud-dhist relics from around the world this summer.

The exhibition which, originates in London, England and is stop-ping in Vancouver and Williams Lake Aug. 14-16 before heading to Regina, Saskatchewan, says Colleen O’Neill, Gendun Drubpa Bud-dhist Centre director.

“We are very excited and honoured to be hosting this relic tour in Williams Lake,” O’Neill says.

The exhibition will be housed in the cafeteria at Thompson Rivers University with open-ing ceremonies on the Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and viewing again Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

O’Neill says Mayor Walt Cobb and Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Cen-tre’s Ven. Tenzin Chogky will provide opening re-marks Friday evening.

The Maitreya Loving Kindness Tour is an ex-

hibition of ancient and sacred relics from the his-torical Buddha Shakya-muni and 44 other Bud-dhist masters from Tibet, India and China.

The purpose of the tour is to share the sa-cred relics to create community gatherings focused on loving kind-ness and openness with the goal of fostering lo-cal and global harmony.

“Nearly everyone reports some kind of change or shift, whether it is releasing physical or emotional pain or ex-periencing a profound sense of peace,” said tour manager Amanda Russell, in the release an-nouncing the visit.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche founded the tour in 2001 when he put his own col-lection of relics on tour

with contributions from others. Since then the exhibition has visited 68 countries and been viewed by 2.5 million people.

In all there are 3,000 relics in the collection including those offered to the tour by His Ho-liness the Dalai Lama which are more than 2,600 years old, a collec-tion from the Sakya Reli-

quary in Tibet, and also from Meiktila Museum in Burma.

Most of the relics in this collection resemble multi-coloured pearl-like crystals that in Tibetan are called ‘ringsel’ and in Sanskrit they are known as ‘Sarira.’

It is believed that rel-ics embody the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom and are deliberately pro-duced by the master at his death.

The crystal relics were found among the crema-tion ashes of these mas-ters.

“When these indi-viduals were alive, they were practicing universal values, like for example, unconditional love, com-passion, patience. Those qualities don’t belong to any one kind of religion. It is universal,” said Ven. Thubten Norbu, a Bud-dhist nun and one of the tour managers.

“So, the relics are re-ally the manifestation of love and kindness and compassion. That is the real meaning.”

A previous tour host Kevin Thoren agrees: “It’s important for peo-ple to realize that loving kindness is the founda-tion of most all religions.

So even though it’s a Buddhist exhibit, it goes beyond any specific re-ligious philosophy and gets at what’s impor-tant.”

For more information on the tour go to www.MaitreyaLovingKind-nessTour.com.

For information on the Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre in Wil-liams Lake contact Col-leen O’Neill at [email protected] or by telephone at (778) 412 7780.

Photo submittedVisitors gather around one of the displays of the Maitreya Loving Kindness exhibition of ancient and sacred Buddhist artifacts when the tour visited Basel, Switzerland in 2011. There are more than 3,000 relic in the exhibit which has visited 68 countries on its world tour and will be in Williams Lake Aug. 14-16 at the TRU campus.

In each of our last two seasons the Studio Theatre has conducted a patron survey and discovered that the most requested im-provement to our the-atre was new seating.

This has been a needed upgrade for some time and, there-fore, last season we set the wheels in motion to start a seating replace-ment and theatre refur-bishment project.

The purchase of new seating is a significant investment for our

small and enduring community theatre, and we are now asking our patrons and sup-porters to help us raise the funding we need.

Seat sponsorship is available for a $300 tax deductible donation per seat. Your dona-tion will contribute directly to our refur-bishment project and greatly support the Williams Lake Studio Theatre, now in its 61st season. To rec-ognize your generous contribution, a custom plaque will be affixed to the front of one of our 98 new seats. You

may have your own name, family name(s), memorial, or business name displayed for years to come.How to Sponsor

a SeatSeat Sponsorships

are accepted on a first-come, first-served ba-sis. To sponsor a seat visit ‘The Open Book’ at 247 Oliver Street in Williams Lake, or, for more information, contact Brad Lawryk at: (250) 855-8835 by email [email protected].

Patrons may also download the sponsor-

ship form and submit the completed form, along with the do-nation at The Open Book.

Donations can be ac-cepted by cash, cheque or debit.

Studio Theatre starts seat campaign

Gaeil Farrar photoActors Sophia (Ringwood) Schneider and Michael Rawluk sit in the Studio Theatre seats to work out a scene with director Sylvia Swift for the Gwen Pharis Ringwood play Garage Sale staged by the club this winter. The Studio Theatre is looking for help from the public to purchase new seats for the theatre.

SATURN ALIEN NO ALIEN TO CITY FANS

Gaeil Farrar photo Adults were content to sit but kids couldn’t contain their enthusiasm for dancing and playing when Saturn Alien took to the Gwen Pharis Ringwood stage in Boitanio Park last Thursday evening blasting out some of the best jazz, punk, rock and soul music to hit that stage. And it was even more thrilling to see it coming from former lakecity residents lead singer Louis Butterfield (centre), and his dad Michael (right) who joined the group on sax for some of the songs. Filling out this eclectic Montreal-based band are Mike Baelde on guitar, Kieran Jarvis on drums, Kevin Geloso on bass, and Andy Burns on keys. It was hard not to jump along with Louis as he sang, leaped and spun.

Triple the music  The Sarah Burton

Band and Carnival Band are on the playbill this Thursday evening for Performances in the Park in Boitanio Park.

Sarah Burton’s play-ful soul has found its home in music through three diverse albums, and countless ups and downs while traversing the globe. On her new album Make Your Own Bed, Sarah doesn’t just embrace indie-pop into her musical inventory, but returns to her first inspiration; the pia-no. The Carnival Band is an activist commu-nity band based in Van-couver’s Commercial Drive neighbourhood.

Last year they re-leased a digital EP, travelled to Boston

and Austin, U.S. and performed at TEDx Vancouver. In 2015 the band is stoked on trav-els though B.C., more recording, and filling the streets with music!

Concerts run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. but visi-tors can set up early to visit exhibits by the Farmers’ and Vendors’ Mini-Markets that open starting at 5 p.m.

Products will be avail-able from Road’s End Vegetable Company, Puddle Produce, Windy Creek Farm, Walk-Rite Shoes, BFF Fashions, Paper Airplane, Piece of Home, Barefoot Books, Cariboo Fruit Stand, Soul Food, Earth Dance, Cody’s Bannock Smashin’ Smoothies and Taylor

Right after Perfor-mances in the Park there will be a special Safety Meeting summer concert with the Mad-eline Tasquin Band at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. Tickets are $15 at Red Shreds in advance. Check out the Tribune/Weekend e-edi-tions on line for a full write up on the Mad-eline Tasquin Band that ran in the Weekend Ad-visor Friday, July 24.

Linda McRae concert kicks off ArtsWellsSinger / songwri t -

er/musician Linda McRae is one of two artists kicking off the ArtsWells festival in Wells this week with a concert at the Bear’s Paw Cafe.

The concert Thurs-day, July 30 will be McRae’s 10th Arts-Wells opener at the Bear’s Paw and will also feature some spe-cial guest artists.

McRae, who is teaching songwriting at Island Mountain Arts’ Summer School, holds three platinum albums, and endless awards and chart-top-

pers in the roots and folk categories.

Widely acclaimed in the U.S. and Canada she plays claw-ham-mer banjo, acoustic and electric guitar, accordion and porch-board, combining old-time sounds with universal themes of heartbreak and re-demption offering an intriguing sepia post-card from the past that is vibrant and alive in the present.

McRae’s perfor-mances include venues as diverse as The Or-pheum Theatre with the Vancouver Sym-

phony and New Fol-som Prison with their inmate blues band!

Her performances at the Bear’s Paw have become legendary in their own right, as warm social gather-ings in the calm before the ArtsWells week-end musically takes over in Wells.

Locals win some/lose some at Eskèt Rodeo

The Eskèt Rodeo held this past weekend at Alkali Lake was the latest stop on the BCRA circuit and several local competitors made the best runs of the week-end to win their event in front of friends and family members watching from the grandstand.

Willee Twan of Alkali Lake, was one of them.

Twan was the last tie-down roper of the day on Saturday, roping in the rain he threw out a solid loop, then pulled his slack and waited for the rope to settle for a secure catch before dis-mounting to wrestle and tie the calf.

The calf he encountered once he reached the end of the rope was a feisty, kicking critter that challenged the capable cowboy, who stopped the clock at 12.7 seconds to take the lead.

During the Sunday rodeo performance, eight more ropers tried to best that clocking (six of them presently in the top-ten of the 2015 BCRA standings) but it was not to be as the wily calves either eluded capture or once caught, were a challenge to conquer.

Twan won the rodeo, Steve Lloyd of Quesnel finished sec-ond with a 15.2 second-time.

Norma MacDonald of Wil-liams Lake made a good solid run in the Open Breakaway Roping event on Sunday af-ternoon stopping the clock at the 5.7 second mark to win the event.

At many stops on the rodeo circuit the winning breakaway time is more often in the 2-3 sec-ond range, which MacDonald is more than capable of posting, but getting out from behind the barrier (which gives the cattle a head-start) without incurring a 10-second penalty proved a little tricky for many of the competi-tors at Eskèt. MacDonald, the last roper of the day had the luxury of knowing just what she had to do to take the win and she executed perfectly.

Four-year old Paisley Mc-Nolty of 150 Mile House clocked a time of 36.53 in the Peewee Barrel Racing event Saturday which wasn’t going to win her any money, but money doesn’t mean anything at this stage of her rodeo career. The big smile on her face, however, was worth millions and said it all. She was just thrilled to be in the saddle and happy to participate in the race — priceless. The follow-ing are B.C.

Lakecity player helps to wingold at lacrosse nationals

Eli Davies, 16, from Williams Lake helped Team BC bring home the gold at the Fe-male Junior Women Lacrosse Nationals in Calgary this week.

In the final game Sat-urday, the team beat Ontario five to three.

“The final game was really back and forth,” Eli said Mon-day. “No one had a full lead. Then our captain scored on an empty net in the last 10 or 20 sec-onds of the game.”

Team BC won their first game on Tuesday morning against last year’s gold medalists, team Ontario.

With a slow start and a three to one deficit at the end of the first, Team BC came back with a 10 to five final score.

They played game two and three Wednes-day against Alberta and Nova Scotia, beat-ing Alberta eight to five, and Nova Scotia nine to four.

The round robin continued Thursday against Ontario, where Team BC won, beating Ontario nine to three.

On Friday they

played two games, beating Alberta 11 to five, and Nova Scotia, six to two.

The team consists of girls from 16-21 years of age. Eli is one of the five players under 18 years of age.

“It has been an un-believable experience playing with the old-er girls,” Eli said. “I learned a lot for sure.”

Eli played with the local Bighorns associa-tion for five years be-

fore aging out last year.“With only midget

available to players in Williams Lake, she has travelled to the lower mainland to play with female teams to contin-ue her love for the game of lacrosse,” her mom Joanne Davies said.

Eli loves everything about the sport and said it is so much fun to play because it’s any-body’s game.

Last year she played with Team BC, where

at the nationals they garnered the bronze.

This year’s win she credited to the team’s good and unreal coach-es. After being selected at tryouts in the spring, Eli travelled to prac-tice for six weeks in the Lower Mainland.

She is going into Grade 12 at Lake City Secondary School and also plays on the Williams Lake Mi-nor Hockey Girls Rep team.

As you get older, just maintaining exercise is not enough to stop the weight gain as you age, but increasing exercise may do it. You don’t have to make huge increases in the time you exercise, sometimes just doing a few extra minutes of your � tness regime will be enough to decrease the mid-life weight gain.

Early arrival advised for SkyFestWith SkyFest 2015

just days away, the Ob-server caught up with Barb van Halderen and chatted about some of the key elements of Quesnel’s International Airshow coming up this weekend.

As was evident at the 2013 SkyFest, arriving early was the key to avoiding the long high-way lineups and the subsequent slow prog-ress into the airport. Also with your tickets already purchased, you will move quicker through the lineup.

With crowds ex-pected to be bigger this year, ensuring everyone has the quality experi-ence is paramount with all the organizers and volunteers.

The Friday night, July 31 Twilight Show, new this year, will al-low patrons to enter the grounds at 7 p.m. with the show start at ap-proximately 8 p.m. and ending about 9:45 p.m.

On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 8 a.m. and the pre-show aerobatics begin at 10 a.m. Opening ceremo-

nies start at 11:35 a.m. and the show wraps up about 4:15 p.m.

For the kids in the crowd, the Kidz Zone is expanded to include wet inflatables so par-ents, your children could get wet (lets say they will get wet.)

Another addition, and SkyFest 2015 is the only airshow to offer this exclusive oppor-tunity, is the Orange Zone.

In a fenced off area civilian performance aircraft will be moved

in, accompanied by their pilots. Spectators can get up close and personal for pictures and conversation with the pilots and their planes.

Expect this to be-come a new feature at other airshows as the word gets around.

A word on safety.“Public safety is

paramount from the performance point of view,” Barb said.

“The performers are kept strictly within the aerobatic box (called

the hot box) which is marked so pilots can see it which keeps them specific distances from spectators. That in-cludes any public roads which fall within the box. That’s why there will be a road closure on the Quesnel Hixon Road while the military jets are flying.”

As for spectator safety and wellness on the ground, orga-nizers have tried their best to account for any issues people may have. Throughout the

grounds, volunteers in light blue T-shirts are knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions or direct peo-ple as required.

“There are misting stations for heat relief and first responders are on site with radio con-tact,” Barb said.

On the grounds, sev-eral food vendors will offer a wide variety of food and drink. There is also an ATM on site. Both bathrooms and recycle and garbage bins will be plentiful. Everyone appreciates crowds that use the re-cycle and garbage bins.

“Remember any ref-uge is a potential air-craft hazard, dispose of your waste respect-fully,” Barb added.

Although it’s been said many times, bring-ing pets to an airshow is a very bad idea. The shows are loud and can be frightening to pets. Leave them comfort-ably at home.

Smoking is strongly discouraged due to the extreme dry conditions but having said that there will be a desig-nated smoking areas, well-removed from the spectator area.

Photo submittedKent Pietsch, in his 800-pound Interstate Cadet with a 37-foot wingspan, stumbles a descent then scrapes his wingtip down the runway, the crowd gasps, not certain if this is part of the act or truly a tragedy unfolding before them.
