Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Charges against a McLeese Lake rancher have been dropped.

On June 6, in Williams Lake Provincial Court, a stay of proceedings was entered on animal cruelty charges against Rob Weetman, filed by the B.C. SPCA in August 2011, including one count of causing or permitting to cause unnecessary suffering, pain or injury to an animal, willful neglect and causing or permitting animal distress.

The charges were in reference to Weetman’s herd of cattle.

Vehicle nearly strikes officer after break in RCMP member fires shot at vehicle that was later stopped with a spike belt; one suspect arrested, another still loose At about 3 a.m. Saturday morning suspects drove through the front glass doors of the Overlander Pub Cold Beer and Wine store as well as a second business where they stole a quantity of liquor, the Williams Lake RCMP report.

Police say witnesses provided a description of a vehicle that was possibly used during the commission of this offence.

The RCMP immediately located the possible suspect vehicle and upon making efforts to stop the vehicle, it fled.

A pursuit was not initiated due to the dangerous speeds and manner

in which the suspect vehicle was being driven.

Moments later, the suspect vehicle was located near the Dairy Fields off of Midnight Drive. In efforts to evade police, the suspect vehicle rammed one of the police cars and then attempted to hit a police officer who was out on foot. The suspect vehicle narrowly missed the officer who fired one shot at the vehicle.

The vehicle then fled again.

Police say that at approximately 4 a.m., the Alexis Creek RCMP located the suspect vehicle at a road check on Highway 20 west of Williams Lake. After a lengthy pursuit

north of Highway 20 on several forestry service roads, a spike belt was deployed successfully, disabling the vehicle.

One occupant was immediately apprehended while the other remains at large. There was no evidence to suggest either male had been injured.

A search is presently underway to locate the second suspect, described as a First Nations male, 16 to 25 years of age, thin build, approximately six feet tall with facial hair.

He was last seen wearing a grey hoody.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be stolen from Williams Lake.

The 20-year-old male suspect in custody is known to police and it is anticipated that he will be held for a court appearance for related criminal charges in relation to this incident.

Williams Lake RCMP are asking anyone with information in regards to this incident or can provide the identity of a possible suspect to contact them at 250-392-6211. Anyone with information and would like to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

MP Harris defends Bill C-38 Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Conservative MP Dick Harris says Bill C-38 is a continuation of Canada’s economic plan, introduced by the Conservatives in 2009, and it’s a plan that has worked.

“We’ve created over 750,000 new jobs since the beginning of the plan and we’ve gone into phase two which contributed about $53 billion in infrastructure work across the country, including Williams Lake which did really well by that.”

Harris cites two large local projects as examples — the Mackenzie Avenue rehabilitation project and the $3.4 million improvement to the Stampede grounds.

Responding to criticisms of the bill, particularly the discontinuation of government funding for Katimavik, reduction in funding for Student Works Program, changes to Employment Insurance, and shortening the environmental assessment process, Harris defends the bill.

He describes Katimavik as one of the most expensive individually government funded programs.

“We have become disappointed, since we’ve been in government, that the corporations in Canada did not deem Katimavik to be a worthy recipient of the many charities that they give too.”

Since 2006, every government funded organization has been asked to look for

funding from other sources, Harris says, adding if Katimavik had found partnership funding the outcome might have been different.

Independent MLA Cariboo North Bob Simpson attended a Katimavik windup in Quesnel last week and says for want of a few dollars, the government is cutting what has been a longstanding national unity program as well as something that’s had a major impact on our communities in terms of volunteer and community projects.

He also points out that throughout the Cariboo region little funding for the Summer Works Program has been granted.

He says people have gone through the ap-

plication process, including organizations that have long had summer students, and been denied.

“The program is underfunded,” Simpson says.

He recently met with the Quesnel Chamber of Commerce and most of the businesses represented told him their applications for Summer Works had been turned own.

Harris, however, says the amount of dollars being spent on the program has not been dramatically reduced; instead, people have to look harder at the criteria when they are making their application so they can achieve a higher score.

Vacancy rate drops Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer According to the latest Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Rental Market Report the overall apartment vacancy rate has dropped slightly in Williams Lake.

In April 2012 it was 10.7 per cent, down from 11.8 per cent in 2011.

When it comes to vacancy rates for private apartments, Williams Lake sits at zero per cent for bachelor apartments, 6.5 per cent for onebedrooms, 11.6 per cent for two-bedrooms, and 24 per cent for threebedrooms.

The average private apartment rents have dropped slightly from

$641 in April 2011 to $635 in April 2012.

The only exception is with one-bedrooms, where the average rent was $553 in April 2011, increasing to $568 in April 2012.

Rents have also dropped for private row and apartment rents going from $470 for a bachelor suite in April 2011 to $436 in April 2012, from $672 for a two-bedroom in April 2011, down to $659 in April 2012, and $812 for a three-bedroom in April 2011, to $783 in 2012.

The only increase was for one-bedrooms, which averaged $552 in April 2011 and increased to $566 in April 2012.

CRD provides grant funds for Barkerville The Cariboo Regional District and Regional District of Fraser-Fort George are providing a total of $10,000 in grants to Barkerville Heritage Trust to support the construction of a replicate Williams Creek Schoolhouse.

Each regional district is contributing $5,000 to Barkerville’s efforts to rebuild the Williams Creek Schoolhouse. The 12 electoral areas of the CRD along with municipalities of 100 Mile House, Quesnel, Wells and Williams Lake contributed equally to raise its $5,000 grant.

The original schoolhouse was destroyed by

fire decades ago. School children and their teachers on fieldtrips have their 1860 “Schoolhouse Experience” in a cramped space less than half the size of the original school. The funding announcement was made during a joint meeting between the two Regional Districts held in Barkerville on Friday. As part of the festivities, both regional districts signed the “Barkerville Accord,” where they both agree to work collaboratively on issues of mutual interest in advancing the economic well-being and prosperity of the North and Central regions of B.C.

Bill speeds up environmental review process Continued From Page A2 “I want to stress to all the businesses and organizations in my riding, especially the Cariboo Chilcotin, to take the time and do it right the first time and you won’t have the disappointment.”

Simpson continues to raise concerns that Bill C-38 will expedite development of significant amounts of natural resource extraction.

“It erodes environmental protections and erodes the fisheries act,” he says. “If we are going to fast track the environmental assessment process it needs to be done against the backdrop of the highest standards of environmental protection, fisheries protection and best practices.

What they’re doing is eroding those.”

Over the long haul

there will be more direct protest and more court challenges, Simpson warns.

“They’re not going to get what they want as a result of doing this; they’re going to create more uncertainty and more instability.”

Disagreeing, Harris argues that harmonizing the environmental review process is not a bad thing.

“People on both sides will see the value of streamlining the process. The important thing is just because it will turn into a one-window program handled by the provinces, all the criteria is based on pre-agreements that led up to that one-window program. There isn’t a hoop in there that they wouldn’t have had to jump through had there been two.”

Harris says the government’s intent is to

make the uncertainty not as large as it has been.

“Nothing sacrificed, it will just be far more efficient and transparent.”

Allegations the streamlining is an attempt by the federal government to push projects like Taseko Mines Ltd’s New Prosperity mine through are absolute nonsense, Harris says.

The New Prosperity mine is being assessed under the old system, not a streamlined environmental review process.

“So many times when people don’t understand or take the time to understand how things work, they will rely on the rhetoric that comes from the activists to whom scientific fact, logic and substantiated evidence, and proven criteria really doesn’t

matter. It’s the fact that any project has to be stopped no matter what.”

Since the forest industry has gone through such hard times, it’s natural that mining, oil and gas will be the next drivers of the economy in the Cariboo Chilcotin and central interior regions, he says.

He also advocates the changes to EI are to discourage use of EI in lieu of finding a job and working.

“We tend to believe that Canadians that are on EI, for the very most majority, would rather be working than collecting EI. We’re going to ensure that where there are suitable jobs, and I stress the word suitable, in their locale and within a reasonable travelling time, that they’re going to be encouraged to go out and get those jobs.”

Government, he says, will support people in their attempts to find employment.

“I find it amazing that there have been complaints from the NDP and Liberals in the house that we’re saying people may have to travel an hour or an hour and half or two hours to go to work each day.

Hello, in the urban centres people do that on a daily basis. They do that because they want to work.”

Simpson says the changes to EI will negatively impact B.C.’s seasonal workers.

“The bill is full of all of these cuts to different kinds of programs and is an erosion of services to the general population, particularly to our youth.”

Harris will be in Williams Lake on June 30 for the opening of the stampede.

Burnt out areas reforested Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Some of the areas burnt out in the Cariboo Chilcotin in 2009 and 2010 are being reforested.

“We are going back to some of the plantations and reforesting the ones that were burnt.

Not only were the mature trees killed in the fires, but a lot of the plantations were burnt,” Tolko’s regional silviculture forester Grant Glessing says.

In the Cariboo region alone, Tolko lost 10,000 hectares of plantations to fire in 2009 and 2010, an area representing 6.5 per cent of the total 155,000 hectares of cut blocks it manages.

“It was a pretty big impact,” Glessing says.

Lava Canyon’s Siwash area, located 150 kilometres by road from Williams Lake, represents the company’s biggest damaged area.

“In that fire area alone we’ve put 4.3 million seedlings in this year.

Those went in about a month ago into 2,800 hectares.”

Another 200,000 seedlings were planted in the Mackin Creek area and the plan is to plant a total of nine million in 2012.

For 2013, the company has ordered six million seedlings, half of those for fire affected areas.

Two years ago West Fraser and Tolko began working with the Ministry of Forests Lands and Resource Operations

and BC Timber Sales to form a fire committee to look at ways to work out the problems that existed.

“It’s been a very good working committee,” Glessing says.

Malcolm Sutton, silviculture forester with West Fraser agrees and says the committee has helped identify issues up front to deal with them and come up with solutions as a group.

He confirms West Fraser has also replanted burnt areas in the Siwash and Mackin Creek areas, and plans to put in another two million seedlings into the Mackin Creek area in 2012.

Over the years there have been isolated pockets of burnt out areas for West Fraser to reforest, but nothing to the same scale that resulted from the 2009 and 2010 fires.

“We participated with the forest service last year in what was called the modified seeding trial. The government did a trial on direct seeding to see if that would be more effective. They’ve only got early results so far so they can’t really comment,” Sutton explains.

Glessing says in many areas, trees come back naturally, and reforestation isn’t needed. However, companies fill in the voids, and with fire damage, some cases are warranting 100 per cent planting.

To help Tolko tackle the problem of planting in areas where it hasn’t

planted traditionally, it hired researcher Clare Koiistra, who has been doing trials around difficult reforestation, using different hydration and fertilization packs.

“We looked at how we could possibly reforest these areas,” Koiistra says.

“In the past, the companies and forest service relied on natural regeneration; however, the fires took all the new seedlings and cones and burnt them up. Suddenly we had these gigantic openings that had no feed source and the only option left was to replant.”

One of the trials has been to create disc trenches on site with a skidder and plant seedlings on the leeward side of the resulting mounds. Another trial is around tree species.

While the main ones are Douglas fir and lodgepole pine, Tolko has introduced western larch and ponderosa pine.

Both species exist nearby geographically and have potential, as the climate changes due to global warming, to grow in these areas, Koiistra says.

West Fraser, however, is planting predominantly lodgepole pine, Douglas fir and spruce.

“The other thing we looked at was fertilization, in combination with hydration. We’re using material that will collect water unto itself and hold it and make itself available to trees in longer periods of the

dry season,” Koiistra says.

In very early stages of the trial, both the trenching and fertiliza-

tion seem to be effective, although Koiistra emphasizes it is the early stages and all the data has yet to be analyzed.

Cariboo firefighters share experiences Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Last month Bryan Barron and Todd Routtu were among 24 Cariboo Fire Centre firefighters deployed to Ontario to help fight a fire south of Timmins.

It was the second time Barron had gone to Ontario, the third time for Routtu.

Compared to fighting fires in the Cariboo region the two say there are some differences. “The two main ones I can think of are the deep dust layer or muskeg that burns deep and the flat terrain there makes the fires more wind driven, rather than here with all the mountains, where fires usually travel uphill,� Barron explains.

It can be more unpredictable in Ontario because the wind can shift the fire direction at any time, he adds.

When the Cariboo firefighters arrived in Thunder Bay in May they were briefed by Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources personnel on where the fires were located and their status.

Their second day was spent at Lakehead University doing a day-long training session.

In contrast to the Cariboo, there is more water to access when fighting fires in Ontario. “We have a lot of water here, but they have swamps, lakes, and riv-

ers everywhere and because it’s so flat there it’s spread out. They use a lot more pressure and a lot more water. Here we have to conserve water quite a bit.�

Additionally, the deep dust layer requires more water pressure, or hydraulicing.

Routtu points out in the Cariboo it’s the norm to use an inch and a half hose to get to the fire and then go to a smaller hose because it conserves water and saves on pressure for pumping water, say up a mountain side.

Pressure is lost for every foot they go up, he adds. “Over there, they have just one person on the end of the hose and it’s the same size hose all the way around.

Four people are stretching out and dragging the hose and attacking the fire right around the edge. Then once you’ve reached the extent of the hose’s 100 feet, you start stretching it out again,� Routtu says.

Hose work in the Cariboo, however, will usually involve some people going ahead, separating the fire from the trees, stretching the hose, and hosing the edge of the fire right there.

They also noticed the tactic in Ontario was to go directly to the head of the fire and attack it by hosing along the edge.

Often that’s not possible in the Cariboo.

Bryan Barron and Todd Routtu are members of the Vista Unit Crew at the Cariboo Fire Centre. Last the month the two were among 24 Cariboo Fire Centre fire fighters who travelled to assist with firefighting efforts in Ontario. Recently the two talked with the Tribune about the experience. “We’ll draw a line in the sand, sort of, to say we don’t want the fire to cross here,� Routtu explains.

When they were in Ontario, they were in the same 20-man crew, but worked on different four- or five-man squads, attacking different sections of the fire, Barron recalls.

Everyone they worked with alongside the fire in May was from B.C.; however, the division supervisor

and most of the incident commanders, who were from Ontario, helped accommodate the Cariboo guys and made it as easy as possible for them to work in a new environment.

Aside from techniques another difference is accommodations.

In B.C., the firefighters sleep at a central camp where everyone has showers and eats, whereas in Ontario it was more of a camping style where each fire-

fighter set up a cooking station and a tent. “More or less we’re on our own there. They drop off food for us, and we are responsible for cooking and cleaning and everything,� Barron says, adding their crew lucked out and had a former chef on their crew who was keen to order food and cook for all of them. “It was a neat experience, sitting around the camp fire. There were just 20 of us, rather than 200,� Barron says. “We’d talk about the challenges and new things we’d seen,�

Routtu adds, saying he enjoys trying different strategies and techniques.

Barron and Routtu are drawn to firefighting because of the good physical workout it offers. When they’re not fighting fires crews work in burnt out areas trying to help put the forest back in order. “We’ll reseed cat guards and try to reduce our disturbance of the forests,� Routtu explains.

They also do school presentations about fire prevention and, depending on the age of students, getting Smokey the Bear’s message out. Students are also instructed on how to contact the fire centre if they see a fire. “The public is our best way of finding out about fires out there,�

Routtu adds.

Salmon a vital link

Lots to do locally

H

P

acific salmon stocks are declining.

Maybe that isn’t an issue for many in the Cariboo, but it is for me. I grew up with salmon.

Quathiaski Cove, the small village where I was raised, is just across from Campbell River, the renowned fishing “capital� for the Tyee (a Chinook salmon more than 30 pounds).

A B.C. Packers salmon cannery was located at Quathiaski.

M y dad was French the postConnection m a s t e r, but most Diana French of the d a d s were company employees. We lived in a company-owned apartment spitting distance from the cannery.

We ate lots of salmon because they were easy to get. Dad would head out in his putter boat (a rowboat with an inboard motor) and if he didn’t catch one in an hour or so he was peeved. If he caught one under 10 pounds he was peeved. My brother and I thought you only ate salmon when you couldn’t afford anything else and we didn’t care for it. Then I grew up and came to the Cariboo, where salmon were known as Chilcotin Turkeys.

They weren’t easy to come by so of course I changed my attitude about eating them.

The last time I went salmon fishing at Campbell River was more than 20 years ago. We stayed at a resort for three days and not one fisherman caught a salmon. I couldn’t believe it.

Does it matter? Well, even if we don’t care that salmon play an important role in B.C. for both commercial and recreational fishermen, or that they provide sustenance to many, they are a vital link in the circle of our lives.

We mess with nature at our peril.

An expert on the salmon situation, Dr. Craig Orr, will be here tomorrow evening, at the arts centre, at 7:30 p.m. to tell us about it. I hope you will turn out to hear what he has to say.

Trust me. It really does matter.

Our Viewpoint

Scary stuff The province’s highest voice on all things medical, Dr. Perry Kendall, made a pretty bold statement last week when he claimed that MDMA should be legalized in order to be regulated.

MDMA, as in ecstasy. MDMA as in the drug that claimed the lives of numerous young people over the last year. But we have to wonder what the point would be in regulating MDMA at all. This isn’t a pain killer.

It doesn’t have positive qualities that make it useful in pharmacology, health care or even psychiatry. Does it?

The obvious problem is that street level ecstasy can’t be trusted. When it’s cooked up in a clandestine, unregulated lab, the chemicals can vary from tab to tab, batch to batch. We’ve seen, and reported on, the dangers of the drug in the past. It’s no secret that it is the gangs who thrive on the sale of illegal drugs. But don’t forget that regulated, legal drugs created with a therapeutic intent are stolen and re-sold every single day.

Drugs like Ritalin, Xanax, and of course, oxycodone

are consistently sold on the black market, the latter commanding up to $35 a pill.

Ecstasy is a popular rave drug, making it a “hit� with party-going teens. So what would regulating the drug do? Could a teen walk into a drugstore and buy ecstasy before heading out to party, in Kendall’s theory of regulation? Probably not. But adults would, one would assume.

And kids would still get their hands on it, somehow. One could argue that the same has been true for alcohol for decades. But hey, nothing bad ever came from a teenaged drinking binge, right?

Wrong. Vital Stats reports that total deaths directly related to alcohol in Canada in 2000 was well over 300.

We’re not pushing a return to prohibition — that certainly didn’t work. But it’s laughable to suggest that regulating a drug will make the world a safer place for our children.

After all, look in the right places and you can still find moonshine. –Autumn MacDonald

More Viewpoints Harris doesn’t care about fisheries

Local and global sustainability at risk Editor: Common challenges are formidable ‌ and we are running out of time.

Fatih Birol, chief economist for the International Energy Agency, says we may have only until 2015 for effective common action.

The “debateâ€? is on the future of the planet and its resources. The “debateâ€? goes on ‌ with you or without you.  You may choose to see it ‌ or not. You may choose to be engaged or not. The consequences affect you regardless. The “end gameâ€? is in sight.

The vast majority strives to keep their children and grandchildren safe. They want the security of every advantage provided for them ‌ to have a decent future ‌ to live decent lives.

Our future human sustainability could be assured ‌ with just part of our world’s military budgets. The U.S. alone spends more on their military forces than the next 17 nations combined. The wealthiest nation in the world protects the wealth of the one per cent and the “servantsâ€? they need to support them ‌ backed with military force to “sustainâ€? them.  Insecurity of the rich blocks the eradication of poverty in America ‌ and globally.  The U.S. ranked first among the 17 leading industrial nations with the largest percentage of their populations in poverty.  Their “middle classâ€? lost 40 per cent of their average net worth between 2007-2010. Half the population of Americans (150 million) live near poverty, in poverty, or in extreme poverty ‌ while the “richâ€? gains stupendously in wealth.  Conservatives cheered as they passed C-38 on to the Senate.

Harper-led forces have chosen a “Canadian (?)â€? mega-fossil fuel industry to be the “envyâ€? of the world ‌ while common global and local sustainability are at issue. Where money is considered “freeâ€? speech ‌ there are the rich and the rest of us in winner takes all political economics. Powerful forces want no limitations on their “freedomâ€? to access this planet’s resources ‌ even here in the pristine Taseko River watershed.

Editor:  What will be left of Canada’s fisheries after Cariboo-Prince George MP Richard Harris is through?  He voted to pass the Conservative government’s reckless changes to the Fisheries Act, which remove provisions that protect fish habitat from destruction. Habitat destruction is the most common reason for decline of a species. Without habitat, we can’t have healthy fish stocks.

These changes undo the cornerstone of environmental law in Can-

ada and have attracted widespread opposition—even from Conservatives. Former conservative fisheries ministers Tom Siddon and John Fraser have publicly opposed the changes. So have more than 625 scientists and former Liberal fisheries ministers Herb Dhaliwal and David Anderson.

Existing laws can be improved, but these changes are being passed without the proper scrutiny they need to get the balance right. The Conservatives are ramming them through in their 400-page omnibus budget bill, leaving no time

for proper study. They claim these changes are so essential that they have to be passed right away, yet they didn’t even merit a single mention in the Conservatives’ recent election platform.

The changes are part of a widespread, willing neglect for our fish by the Conservatives. While they have grown public spending by leaps and bounds over their six years in power, they have cut the Department of Fisheries and Oceans by over 25 per cent. Poor enforcement has greatly reduced the number of pollution and habitat

violations that are pursued by DFO; indeed, convictions for violations are now almost non-existent.

More than 75,000 Canadians are directly or indirectly employed through our fisheries and many more fish for fun, with one in every seven adult Canadians applying for licences every year. Mr. Harris needs to shake off the iron-grip of the Prime Minister’s office, start thinking for himself and protect our fish.  Yours sincerely,  Lawrence MacAulay, MP
Liberal Critic for Fisheries and Oceans

Hagay Bar from Tel Aviv, Israel and Eric Brigden of Williams Lake. can see animals that we only see there in zoos,” Bar says.

He’s still waiting for the bears to show up, Brigden chimes in, noting he’s given him a can of bear spray and a bear banger in case they do.

“I’m not really waiting to meet a bear, but eventually it will happen,” Bar says.

Brigden’s arranged to bring a camper in for Bar and has already set him up with some of his gold panning equipment, including one of the highbankers he built.

“I’m building highbankers for them too,” Brigden says.

“I’ve been building them for three or four years and have actually sold some to customers in Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec and have an order in for one in Nome, Alaska.”

Pausing to give a rudimentary explanation of how the highbanker works, he points to where the gravel is placed at the front.

“You shovel material in here and you have the pump hooked up and it’s washing as the gravel goes across the grizzly down through the ripples. Generally I like to shovel a yard of material though, not a third of a yard,” he comments as he looks down at the pile Bar has shovelled.

To which Bar sighs and suggests even a third of a yard is a lot of hard work.

The material moves along Hungarian ripples and some expanded metal.

“Some people want expanded metal, I pre-

fer Hungarian ripples because they actually capture fine gold better. The carpet provides a seal between the bottom of the sluice box and the ripples.”

As Brigden and Bar walk through the woods toward an area where Bar has spent several hours digging a hole about five feet deep, he tells Brigden it was a lot of work.

“I need some help with the highbanker too. It takes an hour just to adjust everything,” Bar says.

Brigden shakes his head and tells him it should only take a moment.

They chuckle.

As he looks at the hole Bar’s dug, Brigden tells him he needs to be digging across, not down.

“Move that topsoil off and go straight into the bank. You’ll hit the same level of gravel.

That will work better for you.”

Pointing to the highbanker, Brigden notices it’s set too steep.

Readjusting it to be more level, he instructs Bar that it will give him more recovery that way.

A few more metres into the bush, Brigden has built a shaft. It’s six by six feet across and about 10 feet deep.

He’s done it all by hand, digging out big rocks with a windless.

Timbered all the way down for safety because it’s gravel and could collapse easily, he notes he would not dig any deeper than four feet without timbering.

“If it sloughs in and

you’re by yourself, you’re trapped and you’re dead,” he sighs.

He is contemplating taking it down to 20 feet to see what’s down there.

When asked why he doesn’t drill instead, he explains it’s hard to see what’s there.

“All you get is a slurry, but it doesn’t tell you what the layers are.

You want to see where the layers are so you know where the best ground is.”

It’s no surprise that gold prospecting can be a draw. What is intriguing is how far some people will travel to give it a try.

Right now, three guys from different parts of the world are searching for gold in the Cariboo.

Hagay Bar is from Tel Aviv, Israel. Steve Eggimann and Fuehrer Renato are from Bienne, Switzerland, the home of Rolex watches.

For just over a week, the three have been camping on a mining claim, north of Williams Lake, near Blue Lake.

They got in touch with the claim’s owner Eric Brigden, aka Grey Wolf, because of his website, Gold Prospectors Forum.

The Swiss men contacted him by e-mail because they were already travelling in Canada.

Mid morning one Saturday, the sun is shining through the woods, and Brigden’s arrived to see how the prospectors are doing.

“We were doing some fishing. Now we want to try this,” Eggimann says.

Both he and Renato were in the hotel and restaurant business back home and have never tried prospecting.

“I have read lots about this, and I was in Africa for diamonds.

They also dig gold and I’d seen many things about gold panning there,” Renato says.

Bar, however, showed up in Williams Lake a week before and called Brigden on the phone out of the blue.

“He called me up, said he was a tourist, that he wanted to go gold mining and he wanted me to help him,” Brigden says of Bar. It’s Bar’s first time in Canada and so far he’s impressed.

“This is great. We don’t do such things in Israel. Usually you just have an ordinary job in the city, sit and talk and have coffee, maybe you don’t work so hard.

Here it’s hard work, but it’s the nature that we don’t have. We don’t have so much green and it’s peaceful. And we

Brigden’s had this particular claim for more than a year.

He started prospecting for gold when he was 18 years old.

“We were a logging family,” Brigden recalls.

One time he was working near a creek and felt inspired to start panning for gold.

He went after this particular claim, after he and a friend found a creek, did a pan, and found 20 colours, small pieces of gold.

It was bizarre, he says, explaining you can’t get 20 colours panning on the Fraser River.

“This has colours,” he says.

He has other claims, out of Cariboo River and Cariboo Lake, and is looking into going out into the Chilcotin later this year.

When asked if he’s having fun, he says he keeps himself pleasantly entertained.

“I still haven’t found the mother lode,” he says. Pausing, he adds, “Maybe some day.”

Celebrating our heritage

Parade kicks off Aboriginal Day celebrations

Krista Liebe photo

A petroglyph rock of historical importance to First Nations people in this region was returned to the Churn Creek Protected area of the Cariboo on Wednesday, June 13 from Vancouver where it has been since 1926, first in Stanley Park then the Museum of Vancouver.

Aboriginal Day is coming up Thursday, June 21 and the whole community is invited to participate in events taking place downtown and at Thompson River’s University.

The traditional Aboriginal Day Parade will kick off the events at 10 a.m. beginning at the corner of First Avenue and Oliver Street and proceeding along Oliver Street, then turning left on Eighth Street, on into Boitanio Park for more festivities.

Northern Shuswap Tribal Council co-organizer David Feil says the parade has developed into quite a large event over the past few years.

There will also be lots for families to see and do in Boitanio Park between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

There will be face painting, crafts, games and big bouncy toys for the kids, plus dancing, drumming and more.

“There will also be a big talent show on stage with dancing, singing, poetry — quite a bit of variety,” Feil says.

Vendors will also be in the park selling traditional foods such as bannock and bannock tacos filled with chili and other good things, Feil says.

“If you’ve never had one you should come just for these,” Feil says.

Events will take place in Boitanio Park from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Up at Thompson Rivers University opening ceremonies start at 11:30 a.m. followed by a Tiny Tots fashion show and traditional Lehal tournament.

An elders luncheon will follow the children’s fashion show in the cafeteria.

A fashion show featuring aboriginal inspired fashions for adults starts at 3 p.m.

Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society will also have games for children starting at 1 p.m. on the university field.

Festivities will also include a star blanket presentation at 1 p.m. in room 1190.

This is the first year for a Williams Lake walk and it is being organized by Heather Robertson and Eileen Campbell About five per cent of families afflicted by ALS have a direct genetic link. In these cases there is a high chance that other members of the family will come down with ALS. Unfortunately, another member of my immediate family has been exhibiting ALStype symptoms. The final diagnosis will not be complete until later this summer.

However, having another family member potentially stricken by this disease has brought it home to me how urgent it is to find a cure for this disease.

I dislike fundraising, as I believe many people do, since it is difficult and somewhat embarrassing to ask people for help. However, it is a necessary evil in our effort to deal with the many problems of life which need to be addressed. I have run quite a few marathons, but I have never used this recreational (some people would not call it recreational) pursuit as a means to fundraise for a cause. However, in this case, I think I need to put it out there.

I am going to run a marathon on the Williams Lake Secondary School track on June 23, the morning of the ALS

Walk.

It should take me approximately five to six hours. I am hoping that my investment in time and effort will inspire people to contribute to the Walk for ALS in Williams Lake and to the Team Rankin site.

People can come out and cheer me on at the track or run with me or make pledges during my run.

I want to raise as much money as possible in order to find a cure for this devastating disease. Some of the money raised will also go to support those living with ALS in our community.

You can donate by hitting the “Sponsor Me” button for Team Rankin after accessing the Williams Lake “Walk for Life” site.

The link to the site can be reached through www.walkforals.ca.

From there select B.C. for province and Williams Lake for ALS Walk — then search for Team Rankin.

Some information on ALS: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous American baseball player who died of ALS in 1941. ALS is a progressive and ultimately fatal neuromuscular disease, which has no known cause, cure or drug therapy of consequence. Individuals who are diagnosed with ALS do not typically survive beyond three to five years. This devastating disease slowly robs the individual of the ability to walk, talk, and ultimately, to breathe.

ALS facts: • Two to three Canadians a day die of ALS. • Approximately 3,000 Canadians currently live with ALS. • In at least 90 per cent of cases, ALS strikes individuals with no family history of the disease.

• Between five to 10 per cent have a familial form of ALS, so two or more of their family members have it.

• ALS can strike any-

Bighorns BC Games bound Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Seven members of the Williams Lake Bighorns midget lacrosse team are headed to the BC Summer Games in Surrey July 19-22.

Four players — Riley Lawryk, 16, Tristan Sailor, 16, Garret Taylor, 15, and Benn Taylor, 15 — will represent the North Central Zone in box lacrosse, while Brandon Bunce, 14, Jesse Wallace-Webb, 15 and Colton Springer, 15 will suit up for the zone’s field lacrosse team.

The Bighorns play box lacrosse indoors, so the competition format will be familiar at the Games.

The field lacrosse players, however, will need to adapt in a hurry to the outdoor sport consisting of different rules than they’re used to.

Springer said he’s familiar with field lacrosse having played it in the Lower Mainland before moving to Williams Lake. For Bunce and Wallace-Webb, however, this will be their first foray into the game.

“It’s way more open,” Springer said. “The nets are bigger, and the defencemen are allowed bigger sticks. There’s also nine players (plus a goalie) on the field (as opposed to six in box).”

The four playing box lacrosse, who will join players from Prince George, Quesnel and Mackenzie to form the team, said they’re looking forward to the opportunity to play against players from outside the zone — primarily players from the Lower

Mainland.

Benn said he thinks the North Central Zone team, being coached

by Mackenzie’s Travis Stewart, should be competitive at the Games and have a shot at a medal.

The Bighorns midget squad, coached by Ken Grieve, currently wrapped up a stellar Great White North Lacrosse League season finishing with seven wins and one loss head-

ing into playoffs this weekend.

Grieve added competing at the Games will be a phenomenal opportunity for his players.

“You don’t get many opportunities like this,” Grieve said. “The best part is they get to see the kids from the other zones.”

He added the competition will be tough considering the lacrosse season is longer in the

Lower Mainland.

“Down there some of those kids play 25 to 30 games. We play a dozen if we’re lucky,” he said.

“But I think they’ll do well. They’re going to have a team of real good runners, and real good athletes.

“They’ve really improved and they’re really skillful guys.”

Stampede Queen Davana Mahon reflects on her reign Craig Smith photo

Davana Mahon Stampede Queen 2011/12 Special to The Tribune We all hear the saying “time flies,� and that is exactly what I would use to express my emotions in reflection upon my year as the 2011 Williams Lake Stampede Queen.

For those who I haven’t yet got the chance to meet, my name is Davana Mahon, although before receiving my title, my journey started as Miss Macon Construction.

It is here in a young girl’s life I believe you find yourself growing into another person, maturing and gaining confidence.

Possibly the best word to use is “blossoming� into a young woman.

We can’t forget the incredible group of women surrounding us, encouraging us and pushing us to excel in all aspects along the way.

These women are our committee coordinator, and my hat goes off to them.

Without them I believe my fellow princesses and myself would be lost. After the contestant portion, when you receive your new title, it is truly a dream come true.

At the time you are unaware of all the things ahead of you.

If I was to discuss and share my experience from each trip, you would be reading a book, not a letter, as there is really no simple way to share each one of those life-

The 2011/12 Stampede Princesses Alexia Colton (left) and Bobi Bracewell along with Stampede Queen Davana Mahon will pass their crowns to their successors at the coronation this Saturday evening at the Gibraltar room. learning, absolutely incredible experiences.

I will mention a few places we have been fortunate to attend such as Calgary, Edmonton, Quesnel, Smithers, and many, many more.

Through my travels, I have met a large variety of people, as well as many of the ambassadors from surrounding communities, neighbouring provinces, and even a few different countries.

It is amazing to me all of the opportunities in meeting new friends, as they share some of their lives with you.

Possibly that is the best way for me to describe some of my travels.

Yet never forgetting the words incredible, life changing or most definitely fun!

Keeping in mind my experiences, none of this would have been even remotely possible, without

our generous sponsors from loving and helping Williams Lake in the pursuit to help three young women excel along their journey.

We can’t thank them enough.

As for the many people I have met along the way, thank you for letting me into your life, and sharing your time with me.

As many of you are aware for 2011 there was not only a team, but a trio: “The Three Musketeers.�

I was lucky enough to be crowned along side Alexia Colton, and Bobi Bracewell, who have now become better known as my sisters.

Travelling alongside them created memories I will never forget, many stomach pains from simply laughing to hard, and life-long friendships.

In the future I am sure you will see them doing something incredible with their lives, maybe even

the next man on the moon, as we should never underestimate two powerful and talented women such as them.

I also wish them the best of luck in their future that lies ahead of them.

With my reign as the 2011 Williams Lake Stampede Queen, coming to a close, I would like to address a group of four young women.

They are the contestants for 2012 Stampede Queen.

They have a lot of work and learning ahead of them, but I know when it’s all completed, they will be happy to have had that experience, and when the new royalty comes into reign, they will do a great job representing our home town.

They are all talented and smart, and I wish them the best in the competition.

Drawing to a close, I would again like to thank everyone, Bobi Bracewell and Alexia Colton, the many sponsors, including the Stampede Association and the City of Williams Lake, our co-ordinators including Jamie Tanis, and the many, many people who have helped to create an absolutely amazing year.

If I could do it all over again I would without even the blink of an eye.

Thank you for taking the time allowing me to share some of my feelings and thoughts as well as experiences as the Williams Lake Stampede Queen for 2011.

They also learn about aquatic ecosystems in the marsh, and the important role that marshes play both to maintain and improve water quality as well as nourishing a rich diversity of life, providing habitat for the bottom end of many food chains.

The last Water Wise field trip offered is to paint yellow fish beside storm drains as a reminder to residents that these drains connect to creeks and to be aware that whatever goes down the drain will shortly become part of a local waterway. Residences in the vicinity of the painted storm drains receive information to remind them that only clean water should go down the drain.

The value of these field trips becomes evident when reading letters from students about what they have learned on these trips and they are now an integral part of the Water Wise program.

For more information on Waste Wise or Water Wise and any of its school and community programs, contact the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society at sustain@ccconserv.org or visit the website at www.cconserv.org.

Jenny Howell Special to The Tribune Every year the Water Wise program in Williams Lake and the surrounding area offers field trips to schools so that students can see in practice what they have been learning about in classroom sessions throughout the school year.

Water Wise has been running since 2006, a partnership between the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society and the City of Williams Lake.

During that time thousands of students have learned about the city’s aquifer and how to protect it into the future.

Classes have the option of three field trips: city water and sewage tours; river valley water quality and ecosystem work; or storm drain painting.

The first trip is in partnership with the city water staff.

Students and teachers have a tour of the pump stations at Scout Island to see how water is pumped out of the aquifer and distributed to households and businesses. They see how chlorine is made safely from salt and a small quantity is added to the water to protect it as it

Tatlayoko pavilion rebuilt for May ball tournament Gerry Bracewell Special to The Tribune Our Tatlayoko Valley’s annual softball tournament was held, as always, on the May long weekend May 19-20.

As we drove down to our recreation site at the old Lignum’s mill site on Tatlayoko Lakeshore, just before 9 a.m., the lake was glassy calm, so calm that the NUIT Mountain Range of 9,000 feet altitude bordering the west shore was a mirror-image of itself, the shards of winter snow still decorating its lofty peaks.

Seldom is the lake so calm.

Our little community had worked many weekends to tidy up our recreation site, including the re-building of our first pavilion.

The original pavilion at 12 years of service had been flattened by a heavy snowfall.

But through the determined efforts of a few dedicated people it has been replaced, stronger than before; providing shaded seating at picnic tables on hot days, or

The several trails of mine-belting provided with thanks by Gibraltar Mine, are very popular with everyone. The children love biking them; trikes, scooters; baby buggies; and strolling are all possible and enjoyable now.

The original intent of having the belting trails was for visitors in wheelchairs to be able to enjoy our lake shore and wilderness setting and they do, too.

We have seven out

houses, two of which are also wheelchair accessible.

Our softball roundrobin tournament is usually comprised of four or five teams, but this year we hosted seven teams.

Teams were from Bella Coola, Williams Lake, Alexis Creek, Redstone, Nemiah, Tatla Lake, and Tatlayoko.

The teams came prepared with motor homes, camper tucks, trailers and tents. Our large, partly treed acreage took on the form of an instant

well as view the many quilts on display made by local quilters.

The tour is one day only — Saturday, July 7 — and runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 per person and children under six are free. All money raised is donated to two local organizations. This year’s recipients are the Women’s Contact Society and the

Hough Memorial Cancer Society.

Tickets are now on sale at The Open Book and Ibea’s Quilt Shop on Oliver Street and at Just Because Ladies’ Wear beside the post office.

Instructions for finding each garden are included on the ticket.

Summer Reading Club returns The Summer Reading Club is getting underway at the Cariboo Regional District’s 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Williams Lake Area libraries.

The program coordinators are planning seven-week programs based on this year’s theme “Strange … but true.”

Topics range from unique animals, to things from outer space; from weird science, to incredible true stories

— something for children of all ages.

The Summer Reading Club is a free program sponsored by the British Columbia Library Association and is designed for children ages three to 12, to encourage excitement about reading.

Regular reading during the summer helps children to maintain or improve reading and literacy skills.

Registration started June 12 in 100 Mile House and will start in

Williams Lake June 23 and 100 Mile House June 27 and continue through the summer.

Those who are unable to make all the sessions, or are away on vacation for part of the summer, don’t need to worry, as attendance isn’t mandatory for all sessions. The club runs July 3 to Aug. 25. Space is limited so register early.

For information email srcoordinator@ cariboord.bc.ca or phone 250-392-3630.

Our facilities include a capable concession booth open from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days and serving a hot breakfast on the second morning.

The menu included hamburgers, hot dogs, tacos, taco salads, a variety of hot or cold drinks, chocolate bars, and candy.

Our community association members took turns at serving the crowd. There was plenty of food.

The first day was lovely, a clear blue sky, light breeze, startling scenery.

The second day gradually became overcast with a cooling wind, probably welcomed by the busy ball players giving their all.

The cheering section was in full voice throughout, made up of distant friends and locals enjoying a great visiting opportunity.

Nemiah Valley residents held a silent auction, the proceeds of

which will send the Lulua family to this year’s Calgary Stampede.

After everyone had finished their play-offs the winners of the ball tournament were Bella Coola in first place, Alexis Creek in second

place, and Redstone in third place.

Cash prizes were awarded for each category.

COMMUNITY George Suttis enjoyed a good story and a laugh George Stewart Suttis, born in Middle Stewiacke, Nova Scotia on Nov. 23, 1933, passed away on May 11, 2012 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops at the age of 78 from complications of surgery and pneumonia.

George was raised in Nova Scotia and graduated from the Academy in Truro at the age of 16.

He always wanted to be in the RCMP but had to wait until he was 18 to apply and also had to meet the height requirements at the time of five feet, eight inches.

While waiting, he worked at various logging camp jobs and diligently did every stretch exercise imaginable to successfully attain the required height.

At the age of 18 he achieved his goal.

He took his training in Regina, Sask. and served in Manitoba, Ottawa, Newfoundland and Labrador. He was shot and after an extended hospital stay, left the RCMP and relocated to B.C. where he worked as a scaler in logging camps near Vanderhoof, Lillooet, Williams Lake and Horsefly.

It was in Horsefly

George Suttis that he met and married his wife Jeanne Duarte, who was a school teacher there.

Jeanne had emigrated from California a few years previously and George had arrived from Nova Scotia and they met in Horsefly.

Jeanne is of Canadian ancestry and when they visited Nova Scotia shortly after their marriage, they were able to locate the grave of her great-grandfather in a pioneer cemetery just a few miles from his home. He loved to tell about how they were fated to meet.

For 12 years George was employed as scaler at the weigh scales at Lignum’s in Williams Lake and had many friendships with the truckers. He would say hello to a trucker when meeting him/

her downtown and then quote their truck number to his wife. He loved the daily goodnatured banter with his numerous truck driver friends.

George was known for his great sense of humour. He had many quirky stories to tell as life to him, was always one, often hilarious, predicament after another. He wore T-shirts and caps with witty, funny sayings printed on them. Friends always wanted to see what he was wearing and he enjoyed giving them a good laugh.

Following his retirement, George served as a volunteer with different organizations in Williams Lake. He worked as a tutor for adults in Project Literacy and with Court Watch, Community Policing, and Restorative Justice.

For 11 years, he also acted as Santa during the Christmas season for the Child Development Centre and the annual Yuletide dinner. He loved children and being a kid at heart himself was always ready and willing to play.

He was also coach for minor hockey teams

in Newfoundland.

His many interests included square dancing, hockey (Canucks fan), hunting, fishing, camping, solving xword puzzles, playing cards and cribbage at which he excelled and spoiling his adored youngest granddaughters, Ashley and Hayley Godin.

Over the years he had many cat and dog companions that he loved and grieved over.

His little dog Pixie is left to mourn the loss of his constant company.

George was predeceased by his parents, Dorcas and Walter Suttis and sisters, Helen Carter and Phyllis Lewis. He is survived

by Jeanne, his loving wife of 33 happy years. His children are son Anthony Suttis of Alberta, daughters Heather Styles, Margot Suttis, Annette Baker and eight grandchildren of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews.

He will be lovingly remembered by his step-children: Elaine (Roger) Torres, Ray (Charlene) Duarte of California,
