Robbery in park

Two young people were robbed in Boitanio Park Wednesday night.

At about 8 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a report of a robbery that occurred near the skateboard park .

Police say two young males were approached by four teenaged males who aggressively demanded a coat and other clothing articles from the youths. Out of fear of being assault-ed, the property was handed over. The suspects then fled.

The RCMP attended and after a search of the area located the four suspects nearby.

All four suspects are known to po-lice. One was subsequently arrested for robbery and will appear in court at a later date.

Timber supply meeting next month

Columbia Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald says the Legis-lative Special Committee on Mid-term Timber Supply will hold its public meeting in Williams Lake on July 5 from 4 to 9 p.m.

“We’ve wrapped up our meetings and there will be some more work done by the ministry staff, and in-formation added to the website,” Macdonald says, adding upcoming discussions with communities, First

Nations and local leaders that take place over the next few months will really only be the beginning of dis-cussions.

“Many of the issues that are be-ing raised are big issues and com-munities really have to authentically be empowered to address them,” he says.

Macdonald adds the process has been interesting, as committee members “get their head around the challenges communities face.”

Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett says staff did a good

job of giving the panel technical briefings.

“If we don’t understand what’s there, then we never will because staff did a very good job. We’ve known this was coming since 2006, and people that have been involved had a very good idea about the pro-jections out there.”

The task now will be to take the options to the community, public, and stakeholders, and listen to what they have to say, and go back and make a report.

Written submissions are also an

option and as of Friday, Barnett has already been forwarded one written submission from chair John Rustad.

“People are very interested,” she says. “This is a very complex issue and something that has to be ad-dressed. From my perspective we’re there to listen with an open mind and take it from there. Who knows what will happen in the end?” she says.

The meeting date for 100 Mile House is July 5 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and for Quesnel July 6 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Inside theTribune

Two injured in stabbing incidentTwo people received medical

attention following an incident in-volving a knife and bear spray Sat-urday night.

At about 8 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to com-plaint that there was a male with a

knife and another with bear spray near the 300 block area of Proctor Street.

When police arrived, the sus-pects were gone, but one individual connected with the incident was located at Cariboo Memorial Hos-

pital with stab wounds to the leg and chest.

The second male also attended the hospital, with a knife wound to the hand and bear spray contamina-tion.

Both males, however, received

non-life threatening injuries.RCMP say one male was taken

into custody but later released with-out charge.

Police say neither party would co-operate with the police and charges are not being contemplated.

A vehicle and a cyclist collided Saturday afternoon.

Shortly after noon, the RCMP responded to the incident and deter-mined the driver was making a right hand turn from Second Avenue onto Cameron Street, when a cyclist who was going straight collided with the right front quarter panel of the ve-hicle.

RCMP say the driver was not at fault and no charges are being con-templated. The cyclist was taken to the hospital, but later released.

***Over the weekend, the RCMP

also responded to multiple reports of break ins into vehicles in various ar-eas of the city. RCMP say areas tar-geted were the Fraser Inn, Cariboo Memorial Hospital, and Pigeon and 11th avenues. Two suspects were arrested after a foot chase. Both are being held in custody, pending hear-ings before a Justice of the Peace.

Williams Lake City Council is interested in learning more from the United Steelworkers about its campaign to restrict the volume of raw logs leaving B.C. and to create more B.C. jobs using BC resourc-es.

At its regular meet-ing Tuesday, council received a letter from the USW outlining the union’s efforts in the campaign. “We have argued that raw logs kill jobs in B.C. commu-nities by reducing the availability of logs to BC wood manufactur-ers,” writes USW direc-tor Stephen Hunt in the letter.

The union’s wood council chair Robert Matters says the union has met with govern-

ment, but has not heard anything back directly.

“They indicated that they understood our concerns and that they were not happy with the current situation them-selves.

“They thought they were going to be ready to have some proposed changes, but we haven’t heard anything yet,” Matters explains.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations Cariboo Region con-firms there are no raw logs presently being ex-ported from the Cariboo region.

A ministry spokesper-son says there is pres-ently an ongoing review of the log-export policy, with submissions from various stakeholders, including the USW.

It has been ongoing since July 2011, but “be-

cause it’s one of those complicated issues and something that no one can come to an agree-ment on, it’s taking a little bit longer than an-ticipated. It’s ongoing and no final decisions have been made.”

In the meantime, the USW continues with its efforts to gain sup-port from city councils around the province and to raise the issue wher-ever it can.

“Communities gen-erally understand the issue is pretty simple. It’s about saving jobs and job creation. From that perspective there’s very little dispute about whether or not to protect those,” Matters says.

The USW told the government if it has to export logs, especially from communities that no longer have saw-mills, it should use that

income stream to facili-tate manufacturing in-vestment.

“We could support that kind of concept if it was going to lead to further job creation,” he adds.

At Tuesday’s city council meeting Coun. Surinderpal Rathor, who has worked in the saw-mill industry for more than 27 years and is a member of the USW, said he was concerned about the issue.

“We have to do some-thing. I would appreci-ate a resolution com-ing forward from this council. The province is being affected by this,” Rathor said, echoing Matters’ concern that if the Asian markets can purchase raw logs why will they buy lumber?

Rathor told the other council members he wants to take action be-

fore Williams Lake is affected.

Coun. Ivan Bonnell suggested giving the USW an opportunity to speak to city council at a future committee of the whole meeting, a suggestion that received endorsement from all members of council.

Union works to restrict raw-log exports

Three hundred pot plants seizedPolice seized about

300 marijuana plants from a residence near Williams Lake Tues-day.

Members from the North District Inte-grated Marijuana En-forcement Task Force (NDIME) and the Wil-liams Lake detachment executed a search war-rant regarding a theft of electricity occurring at a property on Mi-kulasik Road, off Fox Mountain Road.

“Upon attendance, police located a mari-juana grow operation inside the residence,”

says Const. Lesley Smith, North District media relations offi-cer.

“A p p r o x i m a t e l y 300 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were located and seized along with growing equipment and evidence to sup-port the theft of elec-tricity.”

RCMP arrested a 40-year-old female and a 41-year-old male who were living at the residence. Both adults are facing a number of charges including theft of telecommuni-

cations (electricity), production of a con-trolled substance and possession of a con-trolled substance for the purpose of traffick-ing. The couple will be making their first court appearance in Wil-liams Lake on Sept. 19. The investigation is part of the Marijua-na Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strat-egy to combat marijua-na grow operations and the organized crime groups running them in our communities.

***Undergarments

may have been stolen

Police have found several pairs of wom-en’s undergarments they believe to be sto-len.

The Williams Lake RCMP used a search warrant at a residence May 22 where they recovered various ar-ticles of stolen prop-erty. Several of those items were traced back to a break and enter of

a residence that oc-curred May 21.

Included in the re-covered items were several pairs of wom-en’s undergarments that may have come from another break and enter. The Wil-liams Lake RCMP are looking for assistance in identifying the out-standing owners of these undergarments. Anyone who is miss-ing the items match-ing this description is encouraged to contact Const. Pinfold at the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Former Tsi Del Del (Redstone) chief Ervin Charleyboy wants to know where young peo-ple are coming from and how they see things.

Speaking at the open-ing of the First Nations Youth Opportunity Fair held at Thompson Riv-ers University Williams Lake campus on June 7, Charleyboy said he or-ganized the fair for local high school students be-cause he wants them to see what economic op-portunities are out there.

“Some day you young people will be adults supporting your own families,” Charleyboy said. “I’m looking at 20 to 30 years down the road and wonder where you’re going to be. I read about protests and I think they’re not going to get you anywhere. I think with protests people are reacting to what the gov-ernment is doing instead of being proactive. We have to be proactive in how we see things done in this country.”

Charleyboy, however, also encouraged the stu-dents to speak out and let their leaders know what they are thinking.

“If you hold back, it’s not going to get you any-where. I’m not afraid to speak up and stand up for what I believe,” he said.

Around 40 students from Columneetza and

Williams Lake high schools participated in the fair.

Before interacting with the students infor-mally at tables set around the gym, representatives from Aqua Drilling, Beamac Installations, Brandt Tractor, Cariboo GM, D&S Electric, O-Netrix Solutions, Spruce Lee Construction, and Taseko Mines Ltd. ad-dressed the students, explaining the nature of their businesses.

“Our youth is probably one of the most impor-tant assets we have in this town,” Beamac manager Mark Nairn said.

Nairn shared his own experiences, includ-ing the fact he “barely squeaked” through high school, hated the expe-rience and hated being there.

It was his father who pushed him hard and told him he had to be there and go on to do some-thing with his life — go to school or take up a trade.

“Out of a class of 300 people I was the only one or two that took up trades, but once I got into school and started seeing the op-portunities, I did really well and was actually at the top of my class.”

Taseko’s vice president of corporate affairs Brian Battison talked about the expansion of Gibraltar Mine and the resulting 270 construction jobs added to the existing 500

that are already there.“We need young peo-

ple to come and work for Taseko Mines and we particularly need people from local communities. I’m talking generally about the western com-munities, out west,” Bat-tison said, adding hope-fully some of those jobs will be taken by some of the students sitting in the bleachers.

Looking around with a smile, Hank Unrau of Aqua Drilling said he was definitely the oldest worker in the room.

His company is com-prised of four work-ers, but as the economy picks up he anticipates

the company will need more.

“I’ve been working in the Cariboo for 61 years and it’s always kept me employed. I found at a very young age, with minimal education, your number one asset is your reputation. You must earn a reputation of being a re-liable and conscientious employee. Once you’ve done that, you’ll always have a job. Plan on it,” Unrau told the students.

At his table, Brad Thiessen of Spruce Lee Construction shared building plans with stu-dents.

The first group at his table were five girls and

he told them when he was in the construction program at TRU, half of the students in his class were women.

“We always need new faces on our job sites because young people always bring new enthu-siasm and ideas to our work sites. We have 20 workers — 10 of those are journeymen carpen-ters and the rest are ap-prentices or labourers.”

Lorne Doerkson of Cariboo GM brought along a 2006 Denali truck for students to see first hand and many of them took turns sitting inside.

“About a week ago we

hired a young lady by the name of June Lulua to help us to communicate with a totally different buyer. Buyers used to come into our showroom and talk to us about cars. They come in now and are extremely educated and telling us the price of a vehicle, not us telling them.”

Sometimes custom-ers have looked at the dealership’s website at 2 a.m. and applied for a credit application, which means business is chang-ing, Doerkson added.

John Kloosterman, parts manager of Brandt Tractor, encouraged the students to stick with a

positive attitude.“There is opportunity

out there. You need to go after it because it doesn’t come to you. If you’re hanging around people that are negative, maybe you should find some new friends.”

A p p r e n t i c e s h i p s take three to five years, Kloosterman said, sug-gesting that time will go by, so it’s worthwhile spending time doing something that’s reward-ing.

Rick Bell of O-Netrix explained his company supports industry from the carpet up.

“We’re the people that come in behind and sup-port the people that do everything else. There are lots of career oppor-tunities because technol-ogy is everywhere these days,” Bell said.

Don Erikson of D&S Electric told the students the people that trained him are getting on in years and he’s deter-mined its his turn to train young people.

“If you have any ques-tions I’m here to try and help you figure out how to get into the trades and start your future,” he said.

As he watched the stu-dents interact with the various industry people, Charleyboy looked con-tent.

“It’s a good start,” he said, adding he’s hop-ing to form an aboriginal youth council.

Repairs come to Tweedsmuir roads and bridges

Roads and bridges washed out by flood and storm damage in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park are beginning to be repaired.

B.C. Parks is hiring project managers to re-

pair and replace all dam-aged and destroyed facili-ties in South Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.

“The first contract will go to replacing the washed-out bridge at Young Creek on the his-toric Tote Road,” says Wes Dearmond, area supervisor for South

Tweedsmuir Provincial Park.

The park remains open to visitors and work will begin later this month with no disruptions to day-use or camping ac-tivities.

“Project managers will also be hired to complete repairs to the hiking trail

and suspension bridge to Hunlen Falls and the Turner Lake Canoe Chain,” Dearmond adds.

Visitors to the park will not have access to Tote Road until Sep-tember, and repairs to the trail and suspension bridge access to Hunlen Falls will not be com-

pleted until spring 2013.“Other damaged fa-

cilities will be assessed and have engineering repair designs completed by this fall and works are expected to begin in the spring of 2013,” Dear-mond says.

Each year the park normally received be-

tween 15,000 to 20,000 visitors, with most visi-tors arriving via High-way 20.

It’s the back-country areas of the park that see less use. Historically the park has received flood damage because of spring freshet and fall flooding, both com-

mon occurrences in the Bella Coola Valley, al-though Dearmond adds the park is also prone to coastal floods given its geographic proximity to coastal weather systems, and the recent beetle kill and fire damaged forest in the high ridges and plateaus.

Williams Lake city council received a ser-vice delivery review of its fire department.

The review is the first of an ongoing initiative by the city to critically examine its depart-ments.

Broken down into sections, the report, pre-sented to council mem-bers last week, critically looks at emergency response, operational needs, inspections, emergency planning, and administration, and makes a number of rec-ommendations.

While the number of incidents and person-nel hours has remained consistent over the past five years, due to a 2009 change in the way types of calls are dispatched, overall personnel hours were reduced in 2010 and 2011.

However, personnel hours in assisting BC Ambulance Services and motor vehicle incidents

have more than doubled in 2010 and 2011.

As a result, the review points out that the fire department should con-sult with the RCMP and BCAS on the require-ment for the fire de-partment to respond to motor vehicle incidents and implement a group page system for such incidents to reduce the number of members re-sponding to MVI pages.

Under operational needs there are recom-mendations to provide hose testing services to the Cariboo Regional District fire departments for a fee, to compare rates of other fire de-partments for air bottle filling, offer training programs for a fee, and to possibly develop a position for equipment maintenance and assist with inspections.

Some councillors voiced concern that by receiving the report they would be endorsing the recommendations in the report. After the discus-sion, however, council

passed a motion to re-ceive the report with a clarification by receiv-ing the report, council was not giving its ac-ceptance for an increase in service levels.

Annually the fire de-partment conducts on average 250 to 300 in-spections; however, that number should be closer to 800 inspections per year.

Times for inspections run between 15 and 20 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the building and the number of questions the building manager might have.

Coun. Sue Zacharias described the report as interesting and encour-aged members of the public to read the re-port.

“There will be other departments that will undergo service deliv-ery reviews. It’s a good thing because it’s very interesting and really gives you an idea of the scope of what a depart-ment does,” Zacharias said.

Our Viewpoint

Let’s hope advocate is outspoken

Families a priority

A goodly crowd attended last week’s meeting with Om-budsman Kim Carter.

If Ms. Carter’s 176 recommenda-tions are implemented, life will be better for many seniors and their fam-ilies, but it would be overly optimistic to expect quick action. Governments tend not to react to such reports with much speed, but there is one differ-ence with this one. Grey power. Is it a myth? Or a force to be reckoned with? I guess we’ll see.

C a r i -boo Re-g i o n a l District d i r e c -tors Joan S o r e l y a n d

Bryon Kemp were among attendees. I didn’t notice any city councillors. The Clark government has agreed to appoint a seniors’ advocate. Let’s hope that person is as outspoken as children’s advocate Mary Ellen Tur-pel-Lafond.

*** BC Hydro held an open house in

Prince George last week to discuss its Integrated Resource Plan. As presi-dent of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conser-vation Society, I was invited by phone to participate. The call came the day before the event which didn’t give me time to read the plan, never mind get myself to Prince George. I would have liked to have attended because according to a number of articles in the mainstream media recently (by Vaughn Palmer, economists Erik An-dersen and Marvin Shaffer and others) what used to be B.C.’s pride and joy is not doing well. There are a number of reasons, the huge deferred debt being one, but the critics cite poor govern-ment policies. Anyone wishing to see the plan or comment can Google BC Hydro Integrated Resource Plan. If you aren’t on the Internet you can phone.

***The consultants from Professional

Environmental Recreation Consul-tants Ltd. (PERC) were here over the weekend getting input on what people want for a swimming pool. The show-and-tell sessions were held in places where crowds gathered so many had a chance to participate. The consultants will be back with a revised plan for another look.

Diana French is a freelance colum-nist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, histo-rian, and book author.

Our government has made significant progress put-ting families first over the

past year, and we will do more. We know every family wants to have the opportunity to grow, prosper and live in a safe community.

M o s t recently, Premier Chr i s ty Clark an-nounced changes

to our income and disability assis-tance programs. The changes, most of which will come into effect later this year, include increased earning ex-emptions for all income and disabil-ity assistance clients, asset increases across the board and better harmo-nization of policies with other juris-dictions across Canada. The changes also include expanding work search requirements by an extended period from three weeks to five weeks. And we are introducing mandatory tax fil-ing for income assistance recipients to ensure families can receive every benefit available to them. A good paying, stable and secure job is one of the most important contributions to a healthy, happy and strong family.

Our government wants to ensure the most vulnerable are treated with dignity and respect. These changes will help families avoid the cycle of income assistance dependency but at the same time ensure those who need services get them. More ideas and actions will be put forward to sup-port our commitment to supporting families in B.C. These family-first initiatives, part of the Families First agenda, will help support vulnerable families and provide them with the supports and tools they need to help participate more fully in their com-munities. The challenges that B.C. families face are linked to the issues we face together as a society: keeping the cost of government affordable; an aging population; affordable housing and services; protecting vulnerable families and children; and ensuring safe streets and communities. We are addressing these issues with fresh ideas and steadfast determination. We have built this plan on our com-mitment to a balanced budget and prudent fiscal management.

Our government is committed to making sure all British Columbians can fully benefit and participate in our growing and thriving economy. Jobs, families and open government are our government’s three priorities.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Way to go, gradsCongratulations 2012 graduates!You made it through a whole five years of high

school and are well on your way to being success-ful adults. You already are role models for the next group of students who will wear the robes of hon-our next year.

On Thursday, students from GROW graduated, and on Saturday, Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary students took their turn bidding farewell to high school and welcoming in the new stage of adulthood — of course, students from Maranatha Christian School and the Cariboo Adventist Academy are also graduating, so congrats to them as well.

I had the opportunity to attend the Williams Lake secondary and Columneetza secondary graduations on Saturday and, as usual, was impressed that so many of them earned bursaries, scholarships, and

awards, and many more were listed on the honour roll and work ethic lists.

The addresses from the Columneetza and WLSS valedictorians offered some words of wisdom Sat-urday. Columneetza valedictorian Ryan Jensen thanked his teachers for their hard work.

“Everybody here, everybody, has had that teacher or staff member that has gone the extra mile for them, not because they had to, but because they wanted to,” Jensen said.

WLSS valedictorian Sam Tudor said: “The world is changing, more than ever, there’s no doubt about that in my mind. It’s a stereotype, but when you look around you realize we really do have it now, in our hands, the chance to shape a planet we want to see.”

Congratulations to all 2011 graduates. We wish you all of the best in your future endeavors.

TRU event a successful fundraiserEditor:

Thompson Rivers University, our local university, recently held a very successful fundraising event.

It was the first of what is to become an annual event to raise funds for bursaries to help local students partially offset their cost of secondary education at our lo-cal university.

This was the main purpose of the celebrated gala and it exceed-

ed the goal of $30,000 set by the organizing group.

The final accounts are nearly completed and the actual total will be close to $37,500.

Thank you to the donors and sponsors, and thank you to the dozens of volunteers who worked tirelessly and in a short time-frame.

Their efforts successfully pro-vided financial means, as well as a wonderful evening of entertain-ment and great fellowship for the

supporters who attended.Our co-chairs David Hall and

Betty Turatus put together com-mittees that knew the importance of the cause and knew how to get it done.

What an amazing example of volunteers and community com-ing together.

Several local students will now have incentive to continue their education and enrollment in our local TRU. Increased enrollment will help our goals to make TRU a

bigger and better university in our own city.

Every participant should be proud of their hard work and suc-cess and the realization of what really happened for TRU and the future for students, and our local economy. The assurance that we will continue to be a university city now and in the future is our primary goal.

Help preserve watershed

Editor:

Help preserve the vital Taseko River watershed. The “human” work we do to sustain and improve civilization must rest on a secure and healthy biosphere.

This “hyped” economic de-velopment is part of a global un-principled ideology driving this aggressively massive industrial ex-pansion in the middle of this pris-tine Taseko River watershed.

Expansion and development for “economic benefits” over ecologi-cal degradation must stop. Like a dangerously unrestrained aggres-sive fifth stage global cancer … our global biosphere’s health to sustain us is fatally being compromised.

It is easy to be “blinded” to our aggressive degradation of our bio-sphere.

We are really a global minor-ity working for the top one per cent to 10 per cent still striving to reap an unfair global advantage … still striving to be overwhelming-ly… stupefyingly… wealthier than the rest of humanity … the 90 per cent to 99 per cent rest of us.

Unlimited economic expansion is the foundation of our exponen-tial growth since the 18th century.

Unlimited exponential global growth is unsustainable on this fi-nite planet. We are beyond its lim-its.

It is easy to deny that we are “living” on the edge of the collapse of our “Western” civilization.

It is hard to look into the abyss of tipping and breaking points shown to us by scientists: climatologists, ecologists, ecological economists, land and marine biologists. We are on the edge.

A difficult demise or a difficult cure lies within this truth. It is hard to reckon with the consequences of destroying our biosphere’s abil-ity to sustain our organized “hu-man” communities. Time has run out. In our fully dreamy distracted lives … we need awareness of this truth.

Fully understand and respect a healthy “radical” global environ-ment that all our lives depend on … or not. You decide.

We compromise our own dearly loved ones … the future of our own families … as we compromise the integrity of this pristine Taseko River watershed.

Focus needs to be on achieving healthy forests and healthy communities

Editor:

Over the last 20 years, Brit-ish Columbians have witnessed two starkly different approaches to managing the province’s for-est resources — a focus on forest stewardship (1990s) with a series of initiatives emphasizing land-use planning, greater public involve-ment in forest management deci-sions and increased public invest-ments in the forests followed by 12 years of a focus on short-term economics with reduced resourc-ing for long-term maintenance of the forest asset.

Some complain the first ap-proach was far too prescriptive and amounted to regulatory over-kill, while critics of the latter say government is capitulating to en-trenched business interests. Either way the critics have their points.

If both approaches had or have their faults, where should we go from here? We must ensure the re-sult will be healthy forests to lay the foundation for healthy, resilient communities.

Many Interior communities are confronting a mounting “timber supply” crisis. The fact a shortage in commercially desirable trees

nears is incontestable. However, does a recently unveiled response by government make sense?

It considers easing or eliminat-ing various non-timber resource-based constraints on logging in an effort to soften the economic blow, but only to a relatively small extent according to a recent government staff analysis, and at what future cost? Could temporarily holding onto some jobs now by propping up unsustainable logging rates mean even greater environmental and economic pain in the years ahead?

Quite frankly the process places

the cart before the horse. We need to focus on how do we achieve healthy forests and healthy com-munities?

A 10-year investment strategy is required that includes initially a provincial forest vision, a mecha-nism for communities to be in-volved in forest decisions and a commitment by government to provide stable funding for invento-ries, research and monitoring.

No incentive to recycle cans or to make moneyEditor:

All we hear these days is reduce, reuse, recycle, green planet, etc.

I grew up with the ethic of work hard, make money.

I spent Wednesday hiking Dog

Creek Road for four hours collect-ing empties.

No sense in going to Amanda Enterprises as it pays cut rate.

I brought my empties to the li-quor store and was sent packing because my cans were dirty.

I am living in a rooming house. I have nowhere to clean them. I tried to clean the planet, work hard, and make some lunch money but I quit.

I hope all in Williams Lake ends up to their waists in empty beer cans, as there is just no incentive to

recycle them, work hard, or make money.

It was easier to make money at this when I was five than it is at 45.

For the second time in as many years the B.C. High School Rodeo Finals rode into Williams Lake on the weekend combining the top rodeo athletes from the north and south.

Up for grabs was an opportunity to advance to the National Finals Ro-deo and the Canadian Finals Rodeo, both being held later this summer. The top four in each event earned a berth at nationals (Rock Springs, Wy., July 15-21) while the top five landed a spot at Canadians (Virden, Man., Aug 2-4).

From the Williams Lake area Matt Armes (saddle bronc, steer wrestling, calf roping and team roping), Jaime-Dean Macdonald (goat tying), Kate Barnett (cutting), Chad Braaten (cut-ting, calf roping and team roping) and Madison Smith (barrel racing) competed.

For some the rodeo, which ran Thursday to Sunday at the Williams Lake Stampede grounds, provided an opportunity to advance their ca-reers — the hopes of potential future scholarships and bursaries on the line — while for others, the rodeo finished with disappointment.

For Armes, the rodeo couldn’t have ended on a better note. His third go in steer wrestling brought the crowd to its feet and he stood,

with a 7.1-second run, third on the day — good enough for fifth overall and a spot at Canadians.

Armes, 16 and in Grade 11 still with another year of competition to go in his high school career, also split third and fourth place in saddle bronc riding, qualifying him for both Canadians and nationals.

“Today [Sunday] was my best day,” Armes said. “I’m pretty happy with it.”

However, Armes said he’s unsure whether he’ll travel to both Canadi-ans and nationals.

“It’s kind of undecided,” he said.

“If I make it in steer wrestling [for both] I’ll probably go. Right now I’m in the bronc riding so I might see if I can throw my gear bag in with someone else and go with them. It’s a big effort by everybody to go. It de-pends on who’s got rides where and who can take how many horses and all that.”

Armes, competing in just his sec-ond year of rodeo, added he hopes to qualify for both rodeos next year in his Grade 12 season.

“Next year I’ll be a bit more honed at my skills and I’ll be able to com-pete a little bit better on the Cana-

dian level whereas nationals we’re competing against guys who are 21 going right into the pros.”

150 Mile House cowboy Braaten, in cutting, took second on day one, third on day two and third on day three. He also finished ninth in calf roping on his first go, followed up with a fourth-place finish in go two. Braaten also split fourth and fifth in team roping during the second rodeo performance.

Barnett ended up ninth in cutting on both days one and two.

For more results and overall fin-ishes see Thursday’s Tribune.

KidSport Classic not just for kidsThis year’s KidSport

Classic half marathon, relay and 10-kilometre walk and run is sched-uled for Sunday, June 24.

But don’t let the name fool you — the event is not just for kids. Ev-eryone is invited to take part and raise money for the Williams Lake and Area KidSport chapter.

KidSport provides funds to cover the costs of sport registration for kids who might not oth-erwise get the chance to play sports.

The benefits to the

child are immeasurable.The route this year is

the same as last year — it starts and finishes in Boitanio Park. CN Rail has graciously allowed the City of Williams Lake a permit to use the service road along the lane between the RC Cotton Lands and Dutch Point Road for the event. No training along the tracks before the race will be permitted.

The beautiful lake-hugging route will be similar to the original Dave Jacobs Classic route. Participants will

turn off Highway 20 onto Bagshaw Road and follow the tracks to Dutch Point Road. They will turn onto South Lakeside Drive and then head onto the trails for a couple of kilometres. Distances for the race will be a half marathon, 10 kilometre walk or run and a 21-kilometre, two- to four-person re-lay. Refreshments, en-tertainment, awards and draw prizes will be part of this family-centred event.

“Don’t be fooled by the name — the Kid-

Sport Classic benefits a fantastic non-profit for kids, but this fun, healthy event is for ev-eryone,” says councillor Laurie Walters, chair of the community services committee. “I hope to see everyone, from kids to their grandparents, take in the beautiful scenery as they run or walk.”

Designer medals will be awarded to the top three competitors in the half marathon and 10-ki-lometre event. There are race categories for mul-tiple ages.

Draw prizes and grand draw prizes will be drawn at the event for anyone who enters. They include airfare for two to Vancouver from Pacific Coastal Airlines, a flight around Williams Lake with Rodger Pat-enaude, and other great prizes.

For more information or to register or volun-teer contact the Cariboo Memorial Complex at 250-398-7665. Maps, race information and en-try forms are available at the complex or at www.activewilliamslake.com.

Lakecity SPCA B.C. branch of the yearThe Williams Lake

B.C. SPCA received a 2012 Branch of the Year award at the SPCA’s AGM in Vancouver June 2.

Each year, the award is presented to one of the society’s 36 branches that has excelled in its opera-tions, fundraising efforts, volunteer support, and community outreach.

BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell says that despite the economic uncertainty that faced communities across B.C. last year, the local branch man-aged to not only meet its budget but surpass it by $27,000.

“Under the expert leadership of manager Liz Dighton, the Wil-liams Lake Branch main-

tained a strong 10-mem-ber volunteer community council, increased their adoption rate by 11 per cent, and increased branch fundraising by an impressive 51 per cent,”

said Daniell, who also praises the local shelter for its ongoing collabo-ration with local govern-ment to find solutions to animal welfare issues in the community and its ef-forts to reduce pet over-population through cost spay/neuter programs.

“The efforts made by our Williams Lake

branch staff and volun-teers have resulted in a significant increase in awareness and support for animals in need in this important region. We are very proud of all that they have accomplished.”

The BC SPCA Awards program honours both people and animals who have made outstanding

contributions to animal welfare during the past year. Recipients include veterinarians, staff, vol-unteers, and animal he-roes.

The non-profit BC SPCA cares for nearly 32,000 abused, aban-doned, injured and ne-glected animals each year in B.C.

Horsefly River Roundtable busy

The Horsefly River Roundtable meeting in May was a real eye-open-er with many people in attendance at the Horse-fly library and many is-sues discussed.

• Repairs to the sign damaged by the grads last June will be done.

• The Department of Fisheries and Oceans sponsored Public In-volvement program for $5,000 was received, with $1,500 being ear marked for conference calls on meeting nights, some for restoration and watershed planning, and the remainder for trail repairs.

• Funding was ap-proved for our co-ordi-nator.

• The salmon trail was discussed at length, with the new idea of using a used conveyer belt from the mining industry on the centre of the path (about four feet wide), as well as a strip of seven-foot wide belt to the edge of the water up by the boat launch area to al-low access for a disabled person.

It could also be used to back down with a trailer. It only remains to be ap-proved by DFO supervi-sor Don Lawrence.

• $5,000 was received to repair the Salmon Walk from the BC Reha-bilitation fund.

• The field work pre-scription planning for the previously identified projects has been com-pleted; it only remains to secure adequate funding.

A new problem oc-curred on Kroener Creek

which was determined to be from natural causes after investigation.

• The Salmon Festival discussion was deferred since Maureen LeBour-dais was not present.

• The cottonwood trees were discussed, as they are a hazard once again to anyone using the campsite.

DFO is responsible. It was suggested there may be funding through sock-eye enumeration funding via First Nations.

• The equipment op-erators workshop was a success by all accounts with about 11 people at-tending.

• The Goldfield Pre-sentation was discussed. The roundtable will be arranging for a tour in the near future.

• The Farmland Ripar-ian Interface Stewardship Plan was discussed, and it seems there is more funding in the works.

• There are fencing ma-terials available through DFO for set-back barri-ers to keep livestock out of the water.

This includes barb-wire, posts, staples, etc. Preference is given to those with an Environ-mental Farm Plan.

This plan is not too difficult, and if it is clear you have been working on it, you will be OK. It is first come, first serve. Call DFO directly at 305-3015 to access.

• There were two First Nations representatives present, and the net fish-ing last year in Quesnel Lake was discussed in some small part, but mostly deferred until Gordon Sterritt is able to be present.

Sterritt is head of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council.

The roundtable feels it should have been con-sulted prior to the fish-ery.

A suggestion was made that perhaps First Nations and DFO could work together in main-taining the spawning channel, and diverting some sockeye into the channel every year in an attempt to build up some stock to develop an “Eco-nomic In-River Fishery.” Sterritt will be at our next meeting on June 21.

• The Horsefly Seniors Activity and Wellness Society will be having a

Salmon Egg Race at our Salmon Festival.

• There was no com-ment from DFO regard-ing the change to the wording in the fishery act regarding the word “habitat.”

A senior representa-tive will attend our next meeting in June to an-swer questions.

The following is a link to a one-hour presenta-tion by Alexandra Mor-ton on how fish farms are impacting our wild salm-on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veP67z-wBh8. The next round-table meeting will be on June 21 at 7 p.m. at the Horsefly Library.
