Loran C broken into

Crime Stoppers and the Williams Lake RCMP are asking for the pub-lic’s assistance in the investigation of a break, enter and theft at the Lo-ran C site located on Highway 20 west of Williams Lake.

Some time during the last week, someone broke the gate at the site and entered the property. Two of the outbuildings were broken into and a spill kit was stolen as well as aluminum grating.

The grating is described as 10 inches by four feet in size.

Anyone with information regard-ing wanted subjects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or the Williams Lake RCMP at 250 392-6211.

Monica Lamb-YorskiTribune Staff Writer

Weather wreaks havoc Environment Canada says it was

most likely a very strong dust devil that caused thousands of dollars of damage to a property in Chimney Valley Saturday evening.

“There can be what are called dust devils that are almost as strong as a weak tornado. They can create damage and Saturday would have been the day for a very unstable air mass between the first set of storms and the next ones in the region,” Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist explains.

At around 6:10 p.m., Karina Howell was sitting at her comput-er in the basement of her home in

Chimney Valley, located near High-way 20, when she heard the sound of the wind picking up.

“I looked outside and saw trees lying over sideways. I stood up and heard a big sound, like thunder and whistling. I opened up the door and a piece of plywood came flying at me,” Howell says.

Something was swirling by and things were flying all over the place.

“Part of the garage roof landed on our walkway. Things were fall-ing everywhere and then the thing headed up toward the mountain with a whole bunch of our stuff. I’m actually missing a couple of ken-nels.”

The wind sucked the tail lights

out of her truck and ripped the can-opy off.

“It lifted a one-tonne support beam and threw it. That’s how strong it was. At first I thought light-ning had hit something in our yard … but the noise didn’t stop. Then when I went out there and things were flying around I realized what was going on.”

Gerald Ryan lives across the road from the Howells and was outside painting his woodshed.

“I could feel the wind blowing and I looked over and could see a mini dust storm and started to no-tice objects flying around. Then I realized they were small, plastic kennels,” Ryan says.

The wind then went behind the

garage and lifted its back roof and brought it forward.

“It was like something you see in the movies. You don’t normally see something like that around here. It lifted the roof and dropped it down and debris kept flying around,” he recalls.

“The dirt and debris had to be 20 feet in diameter. When I could see objects flying at the back before it lifted the roof off I could see the ob-jects making 10, 15 feet circles.”

Ryan and other neighbours did not experience any damage to their properties.

“It was gone as quick as it came. When the wind finally stopped it headed northwest into the fields and then there was silence,” Ryan says.

Inside theTribune

A few dozen people gathered at Herb Gardner Park Thursday for the Kootenay to Kitimat Caravan’s rally to gather support protesting the pro-posed Northern Gateway Pipeline project.

The Caravan’s four members, dubbed the “geezer gang,”all hail from in and around Nelson. They left Nelson last Monday and are on a 10-day venture, stopping to connect with communities along the way.

At the helm is Keith Wiley who, back in February, began hosting a number of informational events in Nelson to raise awareness about the tar sands and pipeline project.

“People there said we should do something more and send a delega-tion along the pipeline route,” Wiley said. “We’re having a great time and

meeting a lot of supportive people.”On Wednesday the group marched

up and down the market in Kam-loops chanting, “No pipeline, no

tankers, no problem,” the slogan used by groups opposing the pipe-line project.

In Williams Lake people also re-peated the slogan, as Wiley called it out. Describing Wiley as the lead singer, and the other three as the chorus, Tom Nixon credits Wiley for leading the caravan.

“It was all his idea to go to the people that live along Highway 16 all the way to Kitimat to find out what they want us to do. What can the south end of the province do to help? We’re collecting contacts and names of people. It’s been great,” Nixon said.

Grow op dismantled in Williams Lake

More than 1,000 marijuana plants were found at a grow op in Williams Lake Tues-day.

Members from the North District Integrat-ed Marihuana Enforce-ment Task Force, with the assistance of the North District Regional General Investigation Section and the Wil-liams Lake RCMP, ex-ecuted a search warrant in relation to theft of electricity which was occurring at a property on Campbell Road.

Upon attendance, police located a mari-juana grow operation in two outbuildings on the property that in-cluded 1,345 marijuana plants in various stages of growth.

They were seized along with growing equipment.

“Police also located a hydro bypass on the property,” says Const. Lesley Smith, North District media rela-tions officer. “The use

of enormous amounts of electricity combined with illegal tampering of an electrical system can lead to fires.” One 40-year-old male was arrested and is facing charges of theft of tele-communications (elec-tricity), production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traf-ficking. The male, who is from Vancouver Is-land, was released from custody and will be making his first court appearance in Williams Lake in October of this year.

This investigation is part of the marijuana grow initiative, the RC-MP’s national strategy to combat marijuana grow operations and the organized crime groups running them in our communities.

Anyone with infor-mation in relation to a marijuana grow opera-tion is asked to contact their local RCMP de-tachment or anony-mously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca, or text a tip to CRIMES (274637) us-ing keyword “pgtips.”

Addressing the crowd in Williams Lake, Wiley read out a proclamation supporting people living along the pipeline route,

“We support you and your right to refuse the pipeline’s access to your

lands, communities and waters,” Wiley said, ex-plaining the group will deliver the proclamation to the people in Kitimat.

Whistler resident Kim Slater, who is run-ning the equivalent of the pipeline’s length — 1,170 kilometres — to raise awareness about

clean energy, was in Wil-liams Lake and joined in the rally.

She began the run on July 8.

“My focus is on what the alternatives are to the pipeline and growing the tar sands in general. I’m looking to communities for ideas around clean

energy, how we can re-design our communi-ties to make them more efficient and to explore what prosperity looks like in different terms than how the oil compa-nies and our leaders are defining it,” Slater said.

BC NDP leader Adri-an Dix was also in Wil-

liams Lake and attended the presentation.

“British Columbia takes all the risks with this pipeline, which are considerable, which everyone agrees with, including the premier, and we get none of the benefits. I think this is a fundamental question

for our democracy and in the case of British Columbia, the reason you have to be heard and we have to be heard is that everyone that has participated in this pro-cess has put an opinion forward except our gov-ernment.”

Instead of being dis-

couraged by that, Dix said the government should be encouraged to get involved.

“We have to work to-gether to make sure that it’s a no to the Enbridge Gateway Pipeline and that it’s a yes to commu-nities being sustained in a better way,” Dix said.

Whistler runner joins rally

Utility cabinets to receive artistic wraps

Following the lead of other cities in the prov-ince, Williams Lake is sprucing up the utility cabinets in its down-town.

Ten cabinets, owned

by the city, have been selected to feature art-work created by local photographers.

“We had submis-sions from 12 different photographers, rang-ing from professional to amateur, and some businesses entered pho-

tographs as well,” city planner Liliana Drag-owska told council at its regular meeting July 17. “There were nu-merous entries in cat-egories that reflect the city’s official commu-nity plan.”

A selection commit-

tee, made up of three city councillors and three Central Cariboo Arts Society members, looked through images during an anonymous process and picked the finalists.

Subjects include Stampede moun-

tain racers emerging through the dust, taken by Laureen Carruthers, to a macro shot of local berries by Ryan Veitch. Other scenes include a mountain biker, salmon spawning, an aging truck, and horses.

At the council meet-

ing, Dragowska shared the selected photo-graphs and some ex-tras.

Schickworks Signs and Stitches of Wil-liams Lake was award-ed the contract to make the cabinet wraps.

“No business in Wil-

liams Lake has done this before. It’s a pilot project,” Dragowska explained.

While the city owns 13 cabinets, the $6,000 budget for the project didn’t cover the cost of doing all 13. Ten will cost $5,800.

Looking toward the next provincial election BC NDP leader Adrian Dix doesn’t want to make politics about personal issues.

“It’s about being re-spectful and that’s the approach we’re going to take. I think Charlie Wyse is an ideal candi-date because that’s his approach and my ap-proach as leader,” Dix said during a two-day tour in Williams Lake last week.

“Although I hold the premier accountable and may disagree with her on many things, a list as long as my arm and your arm, I respect her engagement in poli-tics and am not going to make it personal.”

While in the lakecity, Dix met with First Na-tions, seniors, the Coun-cil of Canadians, man-agement from Tolko Industries, people from the tourism sector, and

local NDP groups.He also attended a

rally protesting the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

The NDP, Dix said, are focused on forest health.

“Any forest minister up until 2001 would have had an under-standing of the inven-tory of forest resources in the province, how many restocked forests there were for example. This government dra-matically cut that, such that we’re making very important decisions now without informa-tion,” Dix said, adding the inventory needs to be rebuilt and reinvest-ment of forest health is crucial, as a principle of government.

Thirty-five thousand jobs have been lost in the forestry industry, resulting in a period of intense change in the industry, he noted.

“We have to work with industry, we have to have high standards,

we have to invest in for-est health, and we have to know what we’re talking about.”

Jobs in communities also need protecting, and Dix suggested the Jobs Protection Com-missioner needs to be reinstated so when mills are in trouble there’s an independent person who can come in and assist unions and, in some cases, communi-ties, to get through dif-ficult times.

“We had that in the past and had great suc-cess with it. I think we need to do that in a sys-tematic way.”

The forestry issue should not be viewed as an election issue, Dix warned.

“We’re going to be in trouble if it is. We need to be sure that our policy is guided by principles that will sus-tain our industry in the future.”

Dix reiterated his opposition to the New Prosperity Mine proj-

ect, saying he agreed with the decision and the recommendation of the environmental review panel set up by the federal Conserva-tive government that

said no to the mine in November 2010.

“I’ve been out to Fish Lake and don’t think the new proposal is any different than the old one,” he said.

Seniors advisory council member Au-drey MacLise said she welcomed the oppor-tunity to talk with Dix one-on-one.

“We have a lot of people that have to travel to Kelowna to the cancer clinic and for cardiac care. We don’t have any trans-portation to Kelowna. Our Interior Health bus goes to Kamloops and that’s very helpful and Northern Health allows us to use their medical bus that goes to Van-couver and that too is very helpful because many of the specialists are there. They often have to pay a driver to take them down to Kel-owna,” MacLise told the Tribune.

She also broached the “province-wide prob-lem” of home support.

“We need to bump up the service in our area and let people stay in their homes. We don’t have to keep building new buildings. What

we need to do is fix our home support service. It’s badly broken. They withdrew many of the services that are nec-essary such as grocery shopping, basic clean-ing, and snow shov-elling in the winter. It’s nothing to do with the people that work there; it’s that it’s very restricted in what ser-vices they can offer,” MacLise noted.

B.C. is living in a time when there are real constraints on what a government can do, Dix said.

“There are trade agreements that limit direction. We have to say to people what we’re going to do in the four-year term, what we can’t afford to do, but would like to so people know beforehand. What I think we need to do is have a discussion about what we’d like to do.”

MacLise told Dix it’s time the government did something to ad-dress both issues.

chimney Lake fire containedA 271-hectare wildfire

southeast of Chimney Lake caused by light-ning and discovered on July 18 is now 100 per

cent contained.“A fuel-free area has

been created and tied into some natural barri-ers,” Cariboo Fire Cen-tre information officer Jenny Fremlin says. “There’s been very little

fire activity in the last few days. They received about 11 millimetres of rain yesterday.”

Eighty-three firefight-ers remain at the fire, along with five pieces of heavy equipment, one

helicopter and a type two management team, supporting the crew on logistics, plans and op-erations.

Fifteen new fires erupted over the week-end in the region, mostly

in remote areas, but they remain small and many are already fully distin-guished, Fremlin adds.

Ten fires continue to burn within the region — the majority in mop-up or patrol stages.

CRD thankful for search efforts

The Cariboo Re-gional District’s Cen-tral Cariboo Search and Rescue Unit is thankful for Wayne Peterson’s donation and assistance that re-sulted in a successful search near Chimney Lake.

The CRD says Pe-terson donated the use of his helicopter, fuel and local knowledge on Thursday, July 12.

When the call was received more than 30 volunteer ground searchers were called to duty.

A volunteer Emer-gency Management B.C. aircraft and an RCMP float plane were also utilized; however, it was the lo-cal knowledge of Pe-terson that eventually located the missing person’s ATV from his helicopter.

This provided the general vicinity as to the location of the missing gentleman and a practical point to conduct the inten-sive ground search.

“On behalf of the Cariboo Regional Dis-

trict and Central Cari-boo Search and Res-cue, I wish to thank Mr. Peterson for the donation of his he-licopter along with the fuel used in this search,” says Central Cariboo Rural Cau-cus Chair Joan Sorley. “I would also like to commend the volun-teers of the Central Cariboo Search and Rescue for their tire-less efforts and dedi-cation to the Unit, and all other volunteers and residents who aid-ed in this search.”

Don’t change boundaries: CRD

Cariboo Regional District chair Al Rich-mond says proposed changes to the electoral boundary that would see portions of the South Cariboo and 138 Mile House become part of the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Riding do not make sense.

“They are looking at representation by popu-lation to try and redraw lines to justify to seats. I think that representation by population is part of democracy in Canada, not the sole purpose. It makes no sense for these folks that are op-erating from a vacuum

of unreality in Ottawa to draw a line with no appreciation that Chilli-wack to 100 Mile House is a large area,” he notes, adding the drive from Chilliwack to 100 Mile House is at least 3.5 hours.

The CRD plans to write a letter to the Fed-eral Electoral Boundary Commission to voice its opposition to the pro-posed realignment of the electoral boundar-ies, which would affect communities in the re-gion and is encouraging residents to voice their opinions on the pro-posed changes during one of the public hear-ings being held in the fall.

“Last time there were changes made to the electoral boundaries, despite our objection and our concerns, they just went ahead,” Rich-mond says.

Richmond has re-ceived e-mails from people in the region en-dorsing the stance the CRD is taking.

“They’re saying enough is enough and cut it out. You can’t just keep dividing and con-quering us. It’s no good. Along with us oppos-ing it and continuing to oppose it, we need the

people of the Cariboo to voice their opinions and tell them to leave the boundary alone. There’s got to be a better way of resolving this than sim-ply carving things up on a map. If I want to see my MP, am I going to drive to Chilliwack? I don’t think so.”

The realignment is not in the best interest of the Cariboo Chilcotin, he says. The Electoral Boundary Commission will be holding hear-ings in Prince George on Monday, Sept. 17 at 2 p.m. at the Coast Inn

of the North, 770 Bruns-wick St. and in Kam-loops, Thursday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Kam-loops Convention Cen-tre, 1250 Rogers Way.

Residents who wish to speak at a hearing are requested to notify the Electoral Boundary Commission, in writing, before Aug. 30. Appli-cations can be e-mailed to [email protected], faxed to 1-855-747-7237, or completed on-line at federal-redistri-bution.ca under British Columbia, Public Hear-ings.

City awardsHVAC contract

City council was happy to learn the cost of installing a complete mechanical heating ven-tilation air condition-ing system at city hall is coming in $170,000 less than originally bud-geted.

When requests for pro-posals were submitted to the city they varied in price, three falling below the anticipated $400,000 cost of the project.

At its regular meet-ing on July 17, council approved awarding the contract locally to Ho-rizon Climate Control for its bid of $227,520.

Other local bidders were Burgess Plumbing and Heating at $241,602 and RL7 Mechanical Ltd. at $270,000. Nelson-based Trainor Mechanical Contractors Ltd. came in at $500,000.

“I’m glad to see it come under budget and that it’s gone to a local business,” Coun. Danica Hughes said.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor asked if there was any reason for the difference between the cost and the estimated cost.

Operations manager Geoff Goodall said the original cost was esti-mated through the city’s engineering department.

Paquette a community foot soldier

Enjoying the summer daze

Andy Paquette died earlier this month.

He came to Williams Lake in 1989 to start a new life. He didn’t speak much about his past, just that he was a recovered alcoholic and received a disability pension.

He did his best to be u s e f u l . He loved h o c k ey and spent hours at

the arena volunteering for the Mus-tangs and the TimberWolves. He worked with young people, warn-ing them of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, and he volunteered to help whoever needed him, what-ever the cause.

He’d been in poor health the last while. He didn’t want any fuss when he died, so he’d be mad at me for writing this, but sometimes we are so busy praising the generals we for-get about the foot soldiers. I believe it’s foot soldiers like Andy who help keep a community going.

*** Two resource companies were

in doo doo last week. After being slammed for screwing up royally on a pipeline leak in Michigan, En-bridge is now promising to do better if it’s allowed to build its controver-sial pipeline across the interior of B.C.

Closer to home, Taseko Mines’ Environmental Impact Statement for the planned New Prosperity mine failed to pass muster with the feder-al environment assessment people. Taseko spokesmen say not to worry; this was just a draft, the next one will be OK.

On both counts, one wonders why they didn’t do it right the first time.

*** Like our former prime minis-

ter Kim Campbell, and former B.C. premier Rita Johnston, Christy Clark followed a discredited male leader, and for sure it’s hard to clean up a mess. However, one woman leader who is punching above her weight is Elizabeth May, the lone Green Party MP. True, she has the field to herself, but whether you agree with her politics or not, it’s hard to find fault with her perfor-mance.

At this time of year in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, there’s always something fun and

exciting going on. And that’s part of one of the most rewarding aspects of being an MLA — to be able to con-nect with constituents and take part in their festivities. Communities get to show off their talents, their passions, and of course, their amazing spirits.

This past weekend I had the plea-sure of attending the second annual

A l e x i s C r e e k Daze. A fun, fam-ily event w h i c h b r i n g s

together the community of Alexis Creek and beyond, this year’s Daze was a smash hit, just like last year. The community put on amazing events such as a poker run, a good-spirited arm wrestling competition, mountain bike racing, a remarkable talent show, and, of course, show-cased many different craft and ven-dor’s displays (I even got in a bit of early Christmas shopping). It was a real treat to take part in the horseshoe competition again this year.

I was lucky to be partnered up with Al Madley once again and we took on some pretty incredible teams. Nearing the end of the tournament there were only three groups left: Al and myself, Bryce Bayliff and Jaquie Catalano, and Renato and Franzi from Switzerland.

With 13 teams it was a super close match, especially between Renato, Franzi, Al and myself at the very end. But for the second year in a row, we were lucky to take home top prize. Everyone was such a good sport and we had an great time. It was wonder-ful to see some old friends like Slim and Darlene Brecknock, Hugh and Helen Bayliff, Al and Bev Madley, Sharon Henry, Val Telford, Kevin Newberry who came from Chezacut, and the Schellenbergs who came in from Redstone.

As we drove past Alexis Creek we saw the paving job being done by Pe-ters Brothers and it looks like they’re almost finished; it’s always nice to see new blacktop. Just like last year, it was a really fun and relaxing day. As important as it is to take our regional issues to Victoria and work hard at the legislature, having down time in the Cariboo-Chilcotin, especially in the summer, is one of my favourite parts of the job.

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

A temporary court fixRecently, a 20-year-old man from Surrey received a

month in jail for his part in the Stanley Cup riots, which took place just over a year ago.

Many people are hoping this sets a precedent for future sentencing, and it should.

A one-month term for taking part in a riot, in which millions of dollars in property damage was done, police were assaulted, 150 were injured and the global repu-tation of the Vancouver area was severely damaged, is light punishment. However, it is likely that many of those charged will not receive any punishment. Their cases may well be thrown out of court because of excessive delay, due to the severely plugged nature of the court sys-tem. If a case is delayed for 18 months or longer, through no fault of the defence, it is quite likely it will not come to trial. This is unacceptable. While it says volumes about the state of the court system, something that few people

pay attention to unless they are directly involved, it sends a bad message to the rioters.

It tells them that they should do all they can to delay the process until they are charged. And, they should not plead guilty. As a result, they may see their case dropped.

The provincial government should set up a temporary court which can solely deal with riot cases. Everyone who is charged in connection with the riot should face trial, and do time if found guilty.

If such a temporary court proves to work well, it could be used in other situations – such as to relieve system congestion in specific areas. If rioters are able to get off without any consequences because of a backlog of cases, the criminal justice system needs some creative fixing.

The province can do something about this — now. Au-thority must trump lawlessness.

Movement of oil based on economicsEditor: I read with interest all the ar-

guments against the proposed Enbridge pipeline project. Are these people serious? I think far too many of us are too quick to be against things, whether it is being against a new shopping facility, a new industry, a mining devel-opment, or even a pipeline. It is so easy to be against things espe-cially when we get caught up in all the hoopla.

So we are against the pipeline

project; does that mean we are for shipping the oil or gas by rail, by truck, or even giant dirigibles, massive flying tankers filling up with oil in Alberta and then trans-porting the oil though our beauti-ful scenic British Columbia skies to land offshore to transfer the oil to ships?

Let’s face facts. Somehow the oil will be moved from one part of the country to another. The reason why this oil will be moved is pure and simple economics.

Look to the European finan-

cial crises where socialist-based governments have attempted to appease their populations for generations by giving into the demands of their populations for everything from retirement with full pensions at an early age, to government welfare system and wages far beyond being reason-able. The price that is being ex-tracted because many of these countries — like Greece, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Spain — now no longer can afford their wonderful social system that their

populations have come to expect means massive changes in these countries’ lifestyles.

What one person receives — in our wonderful welfare state of Canada — doesn’t actually have to be worked for. Unlike Europe-an countries, Canada is able to af-ford, and provide for, at this time, by the sale of our resources such as oil, gas and minerals.

So I ask, if the sale of our re-sources is so critical for Canada to continue to provide for our so-cial safety net, why are we against

a pipeline, a mine, or even a new industry?

In my opinion the bottom line is we should be the ones telling the proponents of such projects, if you are going to build this or that project, our, the people’s, more ridged, well-researched standards of construction must be met. Too easily we get carried away with “what ifs,” rather than researching and finding solutions to the “what ifs.”

Little ice age preceded pre-industrial worldEditor:

I see that Herb Nakada is trying to scare us again, so let’s look at 0.08C temperature rise above pre-industrial periods. I hate to tell you, Herb, you got it wrong; it’s much worse than you thought by a factor of 10. It is 0.8C.

So what was the climate like

back when we were pre-industri-al? Well, Herb, it does not look good. That was the time of the little ice age. There were cold-induced crop failures and the as-sociated famines, bread riots in France largely due to wheat crops failing. Let’s not forget that the French-bread riots were the pre-lude to the French Revolution that

culminated with Napoleon ram-paging through Europe. So, Herb, I take it your desire for mankind is to be in the poverty of cold and hunger during violent times.

Some joined up thinking would probably prevent you from being considered as the object of Prov-erbs 17:28, which says, “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is

counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of un-derstanding.” The modern trans-lation would be “it’s better to be quiet and be thought of a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Herb, with your acumen as an activist, perhaps you would like to take up the cause in banning the

industrial chemical cleaner, dihy-drogen monoxide (hydric acid), a very invasive chemical compound that has found its way into all the food we eat. Google and YouTube “dihydrogen monoxide.” It can be nasty stuff that causes death.

The 2012 Surrey BC Summer Games came to a close Sunday af-ter the final medals were awarded and the athletes were sent home having had an experience many of them will remember as one of the most important in their lives.

Chanell Botsis, 14, of Coquitlam took home more than three gold medals she won in Athletics. She was presented with the W.R. Ben-nett Award for athletic excellence at Sunday’s closing ceremony. Bot-sis set a new BC Games record in Javelin with her throw of 43.06 m, shattering the old record of 41.23m. She also won gold in discus and javelin. The straight “A” student is a member of Richmond’s Kajaks Track and Field Club, and came to her first Games looking for a po-dium finish, she said, but also look-ing to perform her personal best. She credited her mom and coaches as the biggest influences on her life and her athletic success.

“These Games saw a number of records fall as BC’s best came to-gether,” said BC Games President and CEO Kelly Mann. “That shows that B.C.’s investment in sport is paying off. We are seeing an es-calation in skills in several sports, and many of the young people who competed here are well on their way to becoming provincial level athletes.”

“I firmly believe that many of the

stars produced by these Summer Games in Surrey will one day com-pete for our country.”

Canadian rowers have a history of being at the top of the podium on the world stage, and if results from the past three days at the Del-ta-Deas Rowing Club are any indi-cation the future is bright for BC rowers to follow in their footsteps. Zone 6 Vancouver Island-Central Coast dominated on the water, with every one of the 11 athletes on the team earning a medal.

Teams from the host Zone 3 Fraser Valley won several of their final match-ups Sunday. The boys rugby, beach volleyball, box lacrosse and field lacrosse teams all won Gold as did the girls rugby, basketball, soc-cer and softball teams. The girls of Zone 5 Vancouver-Squamish pre-vailed over Fraser Valley in two of the most exciting match-ups of the Games. They took the Gold in vol-leyball and in line hockey.

Individually, there were a number

of standouts over the three days of the Games. Swimmer Justin Howe, 14, of Victoria had the largest haul of medals for the boys on his Zone 6 Vancouver Island-Central Coast team, going home with three golds, three silvers and one bronze. His performance bodes well for the upcoming Age Group Nationals he will be attending. Burnaby’s Jemal Reta of Zone 4 Fraser River-Delta set a new BC Games record for the men’s 2000m steeplechase. He also holds the 1500m steeplechase

Games record. Parents came from around the

province to support, congratulate and console their children. They stood out in the crowds of spectators as they waved their team’s colours and cheered on the youngsters from the sidelines. Parents’ contributions to an athlete’s success often go un-noticed, but all would agree that having the opportunity to watch their child compete at a BC Games is a reward like no other. Many also expressed their appreciation for the long hours put in by the 3,000 vol-unteers who helped make the Sur-rey Games a success.

The BC Games cauldron will be lit again in 2014 in Mission for the BC Winter Games and in Nanaimo for the BC Summer Games.

Chupa snipes best shot awardCadet Cassidy Chupa

of Williams Lake was the best shot recently in the first intake of General Military Training at Ver-non Army Cadet Sum-mer Training Centre.

Cassidy is a member of 3064 Royal Cana-dian Army Cadet Corps, based out of Williams Lake.

Cassidy and 175 other army cadets attended the Army Cadet General Military Training Course which sees the cadets introduced to communal living, participate in an overnight Basic Trades Field Exercise, challenge the mini confidence course, improve their ac-curacy with the air rifle, take part in a summer bi-athlon, learn orienteering and receive information

on more senior courses that will be available to them in the coming years.

During the summer

more than 1,100 Army Cadets from western Canada will spend up to six weeks in the Okana-gan Valley training cen-

tre, expanding the train-ing they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

Hlokoff sets sights on road rally goldNimpo Lake resident

Ted Hlokoff is hoping to race to the gold and is looking for a little sup-port.

Last September, Hlokoff received the title of having the third fastest car in the Halfmile shoo-tout and third in class in the World’s Fastest Open Road Rally (SSCC) with his supercharged 2001 Viper GTS.

“I didn’t like losing to a 1,000 hp Twin Turbo Viper SRT so I flew to Texas and bought my own Twin Turbo Viper

GTS,” Hlokoff says. Finally finished by

May, he and his wife, Deana, loaded the “Beast” into his trailer and headed off to Cali-fornia.

At the Mojave Mile he ran his low boost setting (950 whp) and with his short-geared transmis-sion raced against the world’s fastest produc-tion car, a Bugatti Veyron SS.

Costing more than $2.6 million and rated at 1,100 bhp, the Veyron barely broke 201 mph

in the standing mile, Hlokoff says.

“The famous race car, big red Camaro, ran 218 mph and Sunday a full race, tube chassis, twin turbo Viper race car showed up and tied the Camaro’s speed with a 218 mph run. My twin turbo Viper street car, on the lowest power setting and with the aircondi-tioning on, ran 215 mph — third fastest car at the event.”

Two weeks later, he met his navigator in Las Vegas and entered

the spring SSCC again. Called the Nevada Open Road Challenge, Hlokoff and Trevor Cameron from Leduc, Alta. ran the Halfmile shootout in Ely at an altitude of 6,500 feet and placed second fastest car at 175.5 mph in the standing Halfmile.

“Unfortunately, my transmission broke the second run,” Hlokoff says.

Now, Hlokoff is look-ing for sponsors for mile, 1.5 mile, Rally and other high-speed events. There’s a World

Class event next month with about 70 exotic su-percars where Hlokoff says he’d like to show off his North American Muscle.

“Although there are a few cars as fast as mine, it seems that they are all C14-race, gas-competi-tion-only cars. With 91 octane gas in my Viper I have no traction with street tires until 140 mph. I drove this car 4,700 km from Houston, TX. to Canada when I bought it and got 21 mpg.”

Those wanting to help Hlokoff achieve his sponsorship goals can

e-mail him at [email protected].

Photo submittedTerri and Trevor Cameron, Joe Christopherson, Deana Wood and Ted Hlokoff prepare for the Silver State Classic Challenge in Nevada.

Lauren Pilszek raps for Kevin Costner

Lauren Pilszek lucked out twice this month after winning an in-troduction to film star and up and coming country singer/songwriter Kevin Costner.

The former lakecity resident, who now makes her home in Kam-loops, wrote a rap song in honour of meeting Costner.

“I just thought I had to do some-thing quirky at the meet and greet so I wrote a rap song for him,” Pilszek says.

She sang her song for Costner during the meet and greet, and he asked her if she thought she could sing it during the concert.

Pilszek says she didn’t have time to get nervous singing before an au-dience of some 6,000 people.

“It was pretty crazy, but a lot of fun,” Pilszek says. “Everything was kind of just a blur.”

To win the introduction to Cost-ner, Pilszek entered a contest spon-sored by Country 103 Radio.

After answering a skill testing question correctly her name was put into a draw. The win included a night’s accommodation for two at Delta Sun Peaks, plus attending the meet and greet with Costner and his band Modern West, before their free outdoor show at Sun Peaks on July 7.

She shared the adventure with her co-worker Amy Sutton.

By chance Pilszek says that be-fore the meet and greet they hap-pened to have dinner in the same restaurant where Costner’s band was eating and were seated next to Costner’s manager who introduced them to Costner and the band.

“We met the whole band; they were all very welcoming and friendly folk,” Pilszek says.

After singing her song on stage for Costner, he gave her a kiss on the forehead which was captured by the media and can be seen on YouTube.

“It was a great concert,” Pilszek says. “It was very exciting.”

Pilszek grew up in Williams Lake and studied kinesiology at univer-sity. She now works as a rehabilita-tion therapist at the Drake Medox Clinic in Kamloops.

The following is Lauren Pilszek’s song for Kevin Costner:

From the KEV, to the IN, to the COST, to the NER,

I’m here to tell you about a win that occurred,

Country 103 gave a great gift to me,

A free night in Delta with my friend Amy,

They also said “Hey we know a

pretty cool guy”He sings country music and can

act on the fly, “If you build it he will come” is

a well known quote, And message in a bottle with a

big ole sailboat,Now how about Tin Cup where a

round of golf is played, Or Play it to the Bone was the

answer of the decade,Let’s not forget The Guardian,

it’s my favorite dang movie, Or the western waddle swag in

Silverado’s pretty groovy,Kev, I know we seem quirky and

you haven’t met us yet,However, once you’ve heard this

rap hopefully you won’t forget,That in order for us to win we

had to be on call waiting, Time went by so slow it felt like

we were carbon dating,And now we’d like to say thanks

so much to 103,We’ll have a great time Kev, that

we guarantee!By Lauren Pilszek

And here’s the link: h t t p : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m /watch?v=heQaYxtXqww.

Ground breaking for community garden Saturday

Join the Williams Lake Food Policy Council, in partnership with the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Devel-opment Centre, on Saturday, July 28 in breaking ground on the new Memory Garden Community Gar-den site. It has been years in the making, but we are now ready to start building the garden.

The Williams Lake Food Policy Council partnered with the Leader-ship Class at Williams Lake Senior Secondary School, and came up with the plan to create a large Com-munity Garden near the school.

The WLSS students have named

the community garden space The Memory Garden.

“The WL leadership students wanted to make a difference in the community,” states teacher Dena Baumann, “In memory of people they had lost that had inspired and made a difference in their lives.”

The Memory Garden Community Garden space is 25,000 square feet and therefore will be large enough to incorporate a variety of features to demonstrate methods of growing food in our region.

“At present, the plans for the space include over 50 individual raised-bed garden plots, two green-houses, a community compost cen-ter, community root cellar, public access fruit trees and berry bushes

and xeriscape garden,” says Cody Slinn, food action co-ordinator.

Over the years, the Food Policy Council has created an extensive network of volunteers, local busi-nesses, schools, and non-profits, and has built strong partnerships with the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre, the City of Williams Lake, the Cariboo Re-gional District, Interior Health, Thompson-Nicola United Way, the Williams Lake and District Credit Union and our local media.

It is thanks to all these individu-als, organizations and businesses that the Memory Garden Commu-nity Garden is breaking ground this month.

We would like to invite every-

one to attend our Ground Breaking Work Party on Saturday, July 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Come ready to dig in, lend a hand, or meet other people inter-ested in local food. There will be jobs for all ages and skill levels, so bring your family and start planting the seeds for local food production in our city.

The official ground breaking cer-emony will be at 12 noon and the Food Policy Council is sponsoring a free local food lunch for all vol-unteers.

If you would like more informa-tion or to RSVP for the upcoming work party, please contact Food Action Co-ordinator Cody Slinn at 250-392-0294.

Photo submittedLauren Pilszek (left) and her friend Amy Sutton took this picture of themselves just before meeting Kevin Costner.

The first item on the agenda for the last Horsefly River Round-

table meeting was a discussion on fisheries with Gordon Sterritt, head of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Coun-cil (NSTC).

Sterritt outlined the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council’s ef-forts to bring com-mercial fisheries to the Cariboo Interior and, in particular, within the traditional territory of the North-ern Secwepemc te Qelmucw.

In other business June 21, the round table asked Area F di-rector Joan Sorely to take a message to the Cariboo Regional Dis-trict’s timber supply meeting.

The roundtable is extremely concerned with the high flow of runoff due to the clear cuts because of the pine beetle.

There is a $70,000 repair job being done to the Woodjam Creek which has been seri-ously compromised due to the high water flow in heavy rains and spring floods, and with more logging planned in the water-shed, it will only get worse before it gets any better. In other roundtable business

June 21 our co-ordina-tor for the salmon fes-tival will once again be Brandi Ranger.

There will also be Gyotaku demonstra-tions once again, if we have any fish to use.

Judy Hillaby will once again be demon-strating the biology of fish through dissecting fish for the public.

We need five more vendors, so if you want to join us on La-bor Day weekend for our festival as a vendor please contact Ranger at [email protected].

Tables cost a nomi-nal fee of $10.

The idea of using old conveyor belts from the mining in-dustry for upgrading our Salmon Walk has been well received, so we will be proceed-ing with this method of long-term mainte-nance.

There is no fund-ing for the cotton-wood tree pruning, so the round table will be writing a letter to Department of Fisher-

ies and Oceans, so we have it on record.

After using every ar-gument I could intro-duce, I finally had to concede there will not be any fish allowed in the channel this year, and this subject brought up the Salmon Egg Race scheduled for the festival day.

If the water is opened up, salmon may enter the spawning channel and be trapped when the water is shut off.

Judy Hillaby will be working with this unforeseen issue, and will report next meet-ing.

The round table re-ceived $1,000 from BC Hydro and $500 from Tracy Bond as donations toward our festival costs.

There are free fenc-ing materials available through DFO for peo-ple who need to fence off cattle from rivers and streams on their property.

Phone Roy Argue at 250-305-3015 for in-formation.

At our next meeting

we hope to have Rick Brundridge give a re-port on the ongoing bass problem in the Beaver lakes, as well

as go over the pre-scription proposals for the Woodjam Creek from Richard Case and Steve Hocquard.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

Water infrastructure replacementon Pigeon Avenue

The City of Williams Lake will be replacing several water fittings on the water main under Pigeon Avenue starting on July 23. The work is expected to take several weeks, and there will be disruptions in water supply to the properties between Western Avenue and 11th Avenue (the 800 to 1100 blocks, as well as Ogden Street) while the water fittings are being replaced. Replacement of these water fittings is due to age of the infrastructure in the area.

Traffic patterns and driveway entrances will also be affected during the water fittings replacement program. The City will be closing off entire blocks during the construction activities for safety reasons of its contractors and the motoring public. All traffic detours and road closures will be signed appropriately. Extra care will be needed by all vehicles using Pigeon Avenue and the neighboring streets while work is being done. These traffic pattern changes will be in effect during the daytime hours from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

As much notice as possible will be given to each of the property owners as disruptions in water or traffic patterns might affect them. The City of Williams Lake apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this project may cause to the motoring public and property owners.

For more information, please contact the City of Williams Lake’s Water and Waste Department at 250 392-1785.

Lions team up with fire departments on reflective address signage project

The Williams Lake Li-ons Club is teaming up with local area fire depart-ments to promote and sell reflective address signs that will make it easier for emergency personnel to find homes in emergen-cies.

In an emergency when every second counts, fire-fighters, police or medical emergency services may lose critical time if they cannot locate your home, explains the Lions Club application form.

Despite recent advanc-es in technology and im-provements in 911 emer-gency dispatch systems, there is a marked differ-ence for emergency per-sonnel in being directed to an address and actually locating the residence.

In an emergency, time lost trying to locate the correct driveway can have a tragic result. You can help assure that you receive emergency as-sistance in the shortest possible time by properly displaying large highly reflective house numbers.

Signs that are not re-flective or right beside the

road may not be seen, es-pecially at night or in bad weather conditions.

The Lions Club has arranged to supply the reflective signs at a cost of $15 for a single-sided sign and $25 for double-sided sign. The signs are eight inches high by 16 inches wide and made of engineer-grade aluminum with five-inch, high black numbers on a white, high-ly reflective background.

These signs are quite easily seen in the daytime and at night, as well as during adverse weather conditions.

Purchase applications for the signs are available at Clarke’s General Store in Horsefly, 150 Mile House Husky Lotto Cen-tre, and Valley General Store in Likely.

In Williams Lake the signs can be purchased at Burgess Plumbing, Cool Clear Water, Schickworks and SpeedPro Signs. Ap-plications must be made by Sept. 15 with cheques made payable to the Wil-liams Lake Lions Club. Signs should be ready for distribution by the end of

September and the Lions Club will contact purchas-ers to arrange for pick-up and arrange to help with installing the signs if as-sistance is needed.

Proceeds from the sign venture will be shared equally between the Wil-liams Lake Lions Club and local volunteer fire departments.

The reflective signs should be placed in the yard at the end of the driveway, high enough to be above snow in winter and weeds in summer, and far enough back from the main road not to be hit by a snowplow or ob-scured by thrown snow or mud. The signs should be placed in locations clearly visible from a distance of 50 meters.

More information is available on the sign ap-plication forms.

People who have ques-tions about the program or need assistance installing the signs can call Lions Bob or Eleanor Donker 250-620-0503, Lion Li-onal Burnier 250-398-5297 or your local volun-teer fire department.

focused on business and accounting compe-tencies,” said Richard Rees, FCA, CEO of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia. “We are very

proud of him, and he should take great pride in having earned his CA designation.” To qualify as a CA, students must have a university de-gree or equivalent, 30 months of practical work experience in an approved CA training office, and complete courses through the CA Qualification Program. CAs must also pass a comprehensive rigor-ous national final exam to earn their designa-tion.
