Men with knife break into home Two masked men tried to rob a resident on Broadway Avenue Wednesday night. Police say that on Aug. 7 at 11:47 p.m., police responded to a report that two masked men dressed in black had forced open a door and tried to rob a resident on Broadway Avenue South. One of the males was brandishing a large butcher knife. Both males were described as being about six feet tall. One of them was described as being husky. The victim believed that both males were of aboriginal descent. The males fled the scene without stealing anything. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-3926211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Storm causes outages Boitanio Mall had hydro restored after the transformer blew cutting off power to the mall just before 8 a.m. Wednesday afternoon. At noon, mall security personnel Arielle Seebach said BC Hydro was on site and repaired the damage to the transformer on the pole. “We’re just waiting for an electrician to come down to deal with our vault room,” she said. “We have partial power and some of our stores have been able to open, but not all of them.” The rest of the power was restored by around 1:30 p.m. Due to a wind storm Wednesday morning, more than 1,000 customers in Williams Lake were also without hydro between 1:17 a.m. and 3:06 a.m. That power outage affected homes and businesses west of Highway 97 Central, east of Mackenzie Avenue South, and south of Ross Road. Longer outages were experienced by five customers in the 3200 Block of Highway 97 whose power went out at 5:50 a.m., and five in the 1800 block of Mission Rd, who lost power at 9:55 a.m.
Dog park result irks rec committee member Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer
COMMUNITY Mill worker turns model.
A member of the Central Cariboo Recreation Advisory Committee is unimpressed with the dog park in Williams Lake. It’s not because he doesn’t like dog parks — David Reedman stresses he’s not opposed to there being one — but he is disappointed by how much money was spent on it and how the decision was made. He says the off-leash dog park, located behind the skate park in Boitanio Park, cost taxpayers $15,000, and based on a Jan. 17, 2012 city staff report provided by Reedman, the dog park is estimated to cost $5,000 a year for maintenance. But city councillor Laurie Walters, a member of the dog park committee who campaigned for a dog park prior to last year’s election, says the dog park won’t cost the city $5,000 a year to maintain;

mowing the grass, for example, would need to be done anyway. She says the $15,000 spent was for fencing, and the dog park committee is actively fundraising to purchase items such as signage, benches, and irrigation. Reedman stresses the $5,000 annual maintenance estimate is included in a city report. “I wasn’t pulling that out of thin air,” he says, adding that while the dog park committee has committed to do some fundraising, the city still spent money before receiving any money from the committee. And with lots of other projects listed as a priority, and the dog park not being one of them, he says he struggles to understand how a dog park got the green light. According to an Oct. 11, 2011 city staff report, staff recommended city council approve the formation of a dog park stakeholder group to advise the city on possible locations and a design.
The report also noted there was no money allocated for creating the dog park and it’s not listed as a priority in the Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan or the Community Recreation Survey. “Not necessarily things deemed a priority take the priority,” Walters says. “Smaller projects like these are going to move a community forward and have been identified as being a good thing for a community.” Reedman says the project should have been referred to the CCRAC for input. Instead, a dog park committee was formed. Walters says part of the reason the issue wasn’t referred to the CCRAC was due to it often not having a quorum. “That advisory committee has been a really difficult committee, similar to some of the other committees we have at the city,” she says, adding a group of people (the dog park committee) was en-
thusiastic to take it on. Reedman says the CCRAC still should have had input. He says while there isn’t always a quorum, there had been a change in the terms of reference so a quorum isn’t required, and since the committee doesn’t have any decision-making power it shouldn’t matter. He says using a lack of quorum as a reason not to have the CCRAC involved is a “cop out.” Reedman alleges staff advised against the dog park for reasons including there not being widespread support for a project; a dog park was not identified as a priority in the Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan; a dog park is not part of the Boitanio Park Master Plan; and the community recreation survey in early 2011 didn’t identify it as a priority.

Trial dog park was to be at Comer Park Continued From Page A1 Walters says city staff pointed out that projects like these are normally driven by the community, and the dog park was driven by a community committee. “I certainly didn’t deal with staff that were against it or didn’t think it should happen,” she says. Reedman says city staff had suggested using Comer Park as a trial dog park to determine how much use a dog park would receive and to help make future spending decisions on a permanent location. However, city council rejected the trial dog park and instead chose to place it in Boitanio Park. He says there would have been benefits to using Comer Park as a test park because no money would have had to have been spent, since it is
already fenced and electricity for lighting could be connected to existing power poles. The October report says city staff considered there was no budget for a dog park and that there didn’t seem to be “widespread community desire” for one. “The recent Central Cariboo Recreation Survey results and the ‘draft’ Parks, Trails and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan priorities were also considered,” the report says. “Based on these findings staff has proposed that to gauge community interest before any significant resources were spent that a dog park could be designated on a ‘trial’ basis at the Comer Park Ball Diamond.” Walters says Comer Park wasn’t a prime location. At the time it wasn’t being used, but then a user group contacted the city wanting to book it, which would
create an extra flow in revenue for the city. Other options included different areas of Boitanio Park, Reedman notes, but not the location where it is now. “As for the end result, I am not sure it’s a very good dog park either,” he says, adding the fence divides the park, the walkway that was there can no longer be used, and he is concerned how snow will be plowed. Walters says there were issues with the other proposed locations in Boitanio Park — they would have created more irrigation work and weren’t close enough to the public washrooms, parking, lighting, and activities that take place in the park. “If that location is not a good location or doesn’t work out, it’s not that difficult to move to a different location,” Walters says. “We are already thinking about
where the next dog park is going to be.” Walters adds research was done on other dog parks in other communities, including Kamloops, Prince George and Vernon, which all provided information on policy, procedure, and location. Reedman says it appears the dog park is not being used very much. “I saw one dog in there on Stampede weekend,” he says. “I am not against a dog park, but I don’t understand what the urgency was to do this, especially looking at the other factors with the cost overruns with the pool being shut down.” Walters says council didn’t expect lots of people to start using the dog park right away but she thinks once more marketing is done and signs and other infrastructure are in place more people will take their dogs to the off-leash park.

Staff sergeant responds to crime stats Erin Hitchcock Tribune Staff Writer Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard of the Williams Lake RCMP has weighed in on the latest crime severity index statistics released from Statistics Canada last week. Williams Lake was given sixth place out of 239 Canadian police service communities with a population of more than 10,000 when it comes to overall crime in 2011, with the number one rank going to the community of North Battleford, Sask. for having the highest crime rate. While Brissard says he wishes Williams Lake has the least amount of crime in Canada and placed 239th on the list, he says the stats show there has been some improvement — in 2008 and 2009, Williams Lake was ranked at number 1 in Canada for having the highest crime rate. “It is getting better,” he says. “Now we get excited if we have a stolen vehicle because it’s a rarity. There’s no question it’s getting better.” He says there are numerous reasons why Williams Lake has seen a decrease in crime, such as the prolific offenders program, engagement with community partners, and dedicated volunteers. About a dozen people are on the prolific offenders program list in Williams Lake. “It’s not like we’ve changed somebody and brought them from one side of the fence to the other,” he notes. “A big

component of that is if you don’t get it, you go to jail.” He says there seems to be a rise in domestic violence, though it’s not known if the situation has worsened or if more victims are reporting abuse. “I think what you are seeing is victims saying that’s enough,” Brissard says. “I think it’s that educational component where, listen, I don’t have to be victimized and I am going to stand my ground.” He adds there are numerous resources for victims to access, including Victim Services and the Women’s Contact Society, which make a positive difference. He says one of the barriers the Williams Lake RCMP face in reducing crime is a lack of resources, not just in the form of police officers, but also when it comes to support staff. “The city has been very good to us in recent years and we have seen an increase in our municipal support staff,” he notes, adding that an extra support staff person helps take some of the administrative duties off an officer’s plate so he or she can be out working in the community. While the city received a ranking of six for overall crime, it received a five for violent crime and a seven for non-violent crime. Mayor Kerry Cook has previously noted that the city’s overall crime severity value for 2011 is 198.2, whereas it used to be 348.1, showing a 43 per cent reduction in crime.

RCMP called to reports of assault, theft The Williams Lake RCMP responded to 95 calls for service and/or investigations over the B.C. Day long weekend, including a report of sexual assault against a child. Most involved cases of disturbances of the peace and approximately six reports of assault and property related offences, police say. On Saturday, Aug. 4 at about 10:30 a.m., RCMP received a report of theft from vehicles. Two vehicles parked in the Oliver Street Bar
and Grill parking lot overnight were broken into. A small rock was used to smash out two windows. A Makita rechargeable drill, brown leather jacket, and about $10 in change was taken from one pickup truck registered out of Ontario. The other pickup truck had nothing taken, but its driver’s window was smashed. Police have no suspects or witnesses. Shortly after 1 p.m. on Saturday, members of the Williams Lake RCMP responded to a
residence in Likely, in relation to a report of a sexual assault on an 11-year-old child. An adult male was taken into custody and later released on conditions. The matter continues to be investigated by police. Police note that due to the age of the victim and the ongoing investigation, no further information will be released by police at this time. On Sunday, Aug. 5 at about 3 p.m. police responded to a report of mischief to a vehicle in
the back parking lot of Lo’s Florist at 124 Second Ave North. The vehicle was a grey 2010 Dodge Caravan. The rear window of the vehicle had been smashed by a piece of cement, and there was glass all over the road. The doors were locked and entry was not gained to the vehicle. Nothing was stolen. The incident occurred sometime between 4 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Police have no suspects or witnesses. On Monday, Aug.
6 at about 12:15 p.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a complaint of a break and enter from a residence on Dodwell Street. Sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning suspect(s) accessed the residence through and unlocked door and stole a laptop, Xbox, ipod and some shirts. The matter is still under investigation. Anyone with information on any of these incidents is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP.
Overheated battery forces plane to land Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While it was a fairly quiet August long weekend for the Williams Lake Fire Department, fire chief Randy Isfeld says the department attended four incidents. “On Aug. 4 we had a call for an aircraft standby at the airport. A Jazz Light heading to Prince
George ran into some problems with a battery overheating so there was a forced landing here in Williams Lake and we were called on standby,” Isfeld says, adding it was basically a nonincident. When the fire department arrived, all of the passengers were being disembarked while the battery was being re-
paired. The evening of Aug. 6, the department responded to a fire near White Road at 9:30 p.m. “There’s a power line that crosses the road and back a few hundred yards is a spot that’s been, over the years, a popular spot for teens to hang out. They had a large bonfire going there. The fire got out
of hand and had some huge potential for a forest fire,” Isfeld explains. Responding to the location wasn’t too difficult, as the fire department was able to bring its smaller bush truck in to put the fire out. The pumper showed up later with a crew and shovels to help extinguish the fire. Later that evening a
carbon monoxide alarm went off at a building, but proved to be a false alarm, while early Aug. 7 at 4:30 a.m., the department responded to a vehicle fire on Mackenzie Avenue. “The vehicle had been sitting in a parking lot for a number of years. The RCMP are investigating that one,” Isfeld says.

Recommendations follow city audit Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City council and staff continue to tackle ways to implement recommendations that came out of the city’s 2011 audit. During a special committee of the whole meeting Aug. 7, council discussed a letter from auditor PMT Chartered Accountants. In the letter Kane Fraser outlined seven different areas of concern and recommendations that have been generated after meetings held with the company, staff and council. When it comes to approving the chief administrator’s expenses, it was determined that the mayor or alternate
mayor should be the ones to approve them, after they’ve been reviewed by the director of finance. It was suggested that the city as an entity should discontinue soliciting gifts or donations for its Christmas party, and that the city’s current policy on receiving gifts be reviewed. In response to the auditor’s recommendation that the city develop a whistle-blower policy to handle staff complaints, management noted the community charter provides procedures for handling complaints regarding financial affairs. “A whistle-blower policy would provide further means to report
other serious misconduct,” Fraser noted in the letter. The fourth recommendation covered documenting expressions of interest for the city’s approved contractor list. Individual councillors and staff have voiced concern that a contractor has to have an inside contact to be awarded the opportunity to work as an approved contractor. At the meeting council didn’t discuss the point further but agreed that staff should review the policy and make recommendations to update the policy. Another recommendation centred on the ongoing orientation and training of the mayor
Council prioritizes meetings with ministers for September’s UBCM Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer During the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities conference at the end of September, Williams Lake city council hopes it can meet with provincial ministers and ministry staff. At its committee of the whole meeting Aug. 7, council began to prioritize a list of meetings. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said his main priority is water and sewer for Woodland Drive. “We have to persist,” he said. For Coun. Laurie Walters, infrastructure funding for aging recreational facilities is a concern. Coun. Sue Zacharias said New Prosperity mine is a priority that council members should be bringing to the attention of all ministers. “We need jobs, we need a bigger economy, we need work and need something to be happening,” she said. She also pointed out
the city’s latest standings with crime and violence. “Again we’ve hit the radar, even though we’re down. We shouldn’t give up talking about that. Do we need a crime analysis person?” Mayor Kerry Cook advocated discussions about the community forest, the Cariboo Memorial Hospital master plan, First Nations relationships and reconciliation, advanced education and international students. “It’s also important to have a meeting outside of the ministers with the premier, to give an overview of our major projects. I think a meeting with CN Rail is also important,” Cook said. Coun. Danica Hughes voiced concerns about intoxicated persons in public spaces. “There are no laws that the police can enforce other than a $100 fine for public intoxication and I think that our domestic violence numbers and intoxication go hand and hand. I
would like us to have a discussion about public intoxication because it’s a huge drain on hospitals and the RCMP.” Cook suggested it might be a good resolution to put forward at the next North Central Local Government Association annual meeting. Coun. Geoff Bourdon advocated the city inquire about being the venue for pilot projects. “There are a lot of projects that have come through that have been hugely beneficial for us because we were the right place for the pilot,” he said. Cook also requested a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to ensure the Toop Road intersection remains on the table, as well as discussion on BC Rail properties. Acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall told council staff will take the suggestions and prepare a report for council’s approval before submitting meeting requests by the Aug. 17 deadline.
and council to become familiar with existing city policy and bylaws. Coun. Danica Hughes suggested training should take place within three months of the election date, while Coun. Geoff Bourdon added he would like to see the training used as a tool to teach the public as well.
Another issue was mail routing for council, which Mayor Kerry Cook said arose after she received complaints from the public about some mail not being answered in a timely manner or received by mayor and council. Council agreed to bring any mail-handling concerns to the
Aug. 28 committee of the whole meeting. During the follow up to the audit, PMT noted the current mayor and council would like to be more involved or at least understand the audit process and their role in it. “We recommend that PMT Chartered Accountants holds an in-
formation session for elected officials and staff involved in the audit process to review the role of the auditor, the elected officials, and the senior management,” Fraser noted. Further approval of the recommendations will have to take place at a regular meeting of council.

Where did the time go? Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
The city is requesting remedial action from the owners of a large abandoned residential building in the 3000 block of Mackenzie Avenue North. The city wants the building to be properly secured to prevent people from dwelling inside.
City of WL orders house to be boarded up Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A large abandoned house in the 3,000 block of Mackenzie Avenue is on the city’s list for remedial action. During a special council meeting held Aug. 7, council approved a remedial action order, giving the owners 14 days from proven official notification to secure the house. Acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall said the owner does not live in the community. “In the beginning of May it was an abandoned house with a large abandoned building in the rear yard. We had been dealing with issues of people gaining access to the buildings. There was a suspicious fire that destroyed the building in the back. People had been living in there and the fire destroyed it,” he said.

After the fire people began occupying the house. The city has been attempting to secure the house by boarding it up, and in the meantime someone tried to light it on fire. “Our concern is that people may not always be in the greatest condition when they’re in that building. If a fire were to start in that building, and the fire department gets there, it may be dangerous for the fire department to get into that house and make sure there isn’t anyone sleeping in there,” Goodall said. The condition of the house would result in it going up in flames very quickly, he pointed out. Two weeks ago the city went in and cleaned up the burnt building, removed remnants of it, and mowed the grass. “This remedial action is only to secure

I
want to personally invite everyone to come to the final Performances in the Park event next Thursday, not only to enjoy the last of the concert series, but to come meet some amazing young people and contribute to their cause. W e h a v e From the s o m e Mayor’s amazing Chair young i n d i Kerry Cook viduals who were determined to make a difference. They set a goal and worked hard. They have a cause they believe in. Kids Running For Kids left Williams Lake July 1 and ran in a relay all the way to Vancouver to raise money for the B.C Children’s Hospital. They raised nearly $78,000 but they are not done yet. Next Thursday, we as a city have an opportunity to recognize them for the achievement and to help them raise even more. This is a great opportunity to take in a performance in the park, the last one of the season. Have a hot dog cooked by members of council and meet these amazing kids. The performances are at 5 and 7 p.m.; Kids Running For Kids will be on stage at 6 p.m. Firefighters don’t just fight fires; they are our neighbours and they are strong community supporters. As just one example, the Williams Lake Fire Department, for the past three years, has done a Christmas in July food bank drive. This year, they collected more than 100 boxes and bags of nonperishable items and some cash donations. Art Walk is underway, and I look forward to participating today. I encourage everyone to do the Art Walk, visit our local businesses, and take in the amazing work of our talented local artists. Art Walk is not only a good way to visit a variety of our local businesses, but to also see the amazing range of incredible art produced in our community. Hope to see you on the walk! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Soccer team deserves medal Unless you’ve been totally ignoring the Olympics, you know Canada’s women’s soccer team lost 4-3 in extra time — mere minutes away from going to penalty kicks — to its closest, fiercest rival, the United States. You know Canada was going up against the team ranked No. 1 in the world, a country that has won the last two Olympic women’s soccer gold medals, and hasn’t lost to Canada since 2001, a span of 43 games. It was a game Canada wasn’t supposed to keep close, let alone lead three times. Christine Sinclair — who is always compared as the Wayne Gretzky of Canadian women’s soccer — scored three times and Canada was 10 minutes away from surely its biggest win in national team history, and a spot in the gold medal match against the reigning World Cup holders, Japan.
But a suspicious delay of game penalty called by the Norwegian referee against Canadian keeper Erin McLeod, followed by an even more suspicious hand ball call against defender Marie Eve Nault in the box on the ensuring free kick, led to the U.S. scoring the tying goal on a penalty kick. Canadians from Vernon to St. John’s, N,L., were livid over the calls. The players were stunned. The coaches were shocked. The ref’s calls and the final result aside, Monday’s match will likely set off a boom for women’s soccer in this country. It was a classic game, one of the most entertaining matches of all time. And that boom could grow bigger if Canada wins the bronze medal Thursday. A result this inspiring, hard-working group of athletes so richly deserves. – Vernon Morning Star

ll eyes in the Cariboo have been focused skyward the last few evenings as we nervously viewed the great jagged bolts of lightning streaking the night sky. Somewhat sadly, many border collies have suffered hellishly as electrical storms turn into nightmarish experiences for aging collies. I don’t know what it is about the breed (maybe other breeds are similar; I’ve only had collies) but the terror is abject. Even the hint of a storm (sensed hours ahead of us) adCattle dles their Fodder brains so thorLiz Twan oughly that all sense of reason deserts even the most intelligent dog. At the first crack of thunder, some will run blindly (in whatever direction they are pointed at the time), not stopping unless they are physically restrained while others cower (become immovable objects) and many exhibit other inexplicable out-of-character behaviours. Our dog is of the age; he appears wild eyed and panting at the sliding patio door, begging to be let in ages before I sense a change. Once in (still not feeling safe) his behaviour is totally off-the-wall as he tries to squeeze behind the couch (not even a Chihuahua would fit) or he scoots under my computer station, cowering at my feet. It’s hard to observe his palpable, mindless terror. Canadian cattle industry eyes continue to look southward; as the U.S. drought continues unabated, it will be a huge factor, affecting fall cattle marketing strategies for most Canadian agricultural operations as so much of what we decide (how, what and when we sell) is often based on a bet-guess-strategy, albeit a well-researched guess (based on reading, studying/industry news/tracking sales/trends). The Pharo Cattle Company’s newsletter, Cowboy Logic, quote of the day for Aug. 8, sums up one outcome quite nicely — “Bad decisions make good stories.� But, I would add, “good stories are told time and again,� so no matter what you decide (the outcome) we have it covered!

We must speak out against human trafficking Editor: Re: “Strip clubs to recruit at job fairs,� The Province, July 25. Tim Lambrinos, the executive director for Canada’s adult entertainment association, has now gone public in order to target greater numbers of our youth at high schools and job fairs. The adult entertainment association of Canada is upset with the recent initiatives to close our borders to human trafficking. Lambrinos says they are losing money. The industry is worried about a labour shortage as the federal government (which, by the way, has responded to concerned citizens) has shut off foreign sex workers into Canada thanks to MP Joy Raspberries to Mr. and Mrs. K. It was July 15, the weekend all of Horsefly Village put on garage sales, that Mr. K and his wife came to my home in search of treasures and bargains. My sons and I were selling many of my husband’s belongings after losing him recently due to a sudden stroke. Soon after arriving at my home, Mr. and Mrs. K spotted an anvil (a miner’s tool). Mrs. K asked me if they could buy it. I explained that my youngest teenage boy had sentimental attachment to it and wanted to keep it for himself as a reminder of the father he so recently lost. Mrs. K accepted my explanation and continued to look at other items that were for sale. Later that date I found out Mr.
Smith’s Bill C-310 and the offences (s.279.01 to s.279.03), which, committed outside of Canada by a Canadian or permanent resident, could be prosecuted in Canada. The AEAC would like us to believe it’s a good way for university students to pay for their tuition. I have talked to countless victims here in Canada and abroad and heard their heart-wrenching stories of manipulation, deception, abuse, and threats. How many have felt that their only way of escaping this horrible lifestyle is through drugs or suicide? According to the Criminal Intelligence Service of Canada police in Vancouver regularly find underage girls working in Canadian strip clubs as young as 14 years old and selling their bodies to 20 to 40 men a night
earning approximately $280,800 annually for the owner. Prostitution, strip clubs and massage parlors all share a common thread — the owners are making big bucks through the sexual “services� of young victims. We cannot be silent and we must make our voices heard. We cannot let Canadian predators exploit our youth. Write to your MP, local newspapers, media, etc. and let them know that our children, no matter what age, are not to be bought and sold. Albert Einstein once said: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.� Dina Kennedy Williams Lake Salvation Army
and Mrs. K made a deal with my eldest son, who was not aware of his
brother’s wish to keep the anvil. Mr. K convinced my eldest to throw in the anvil for free with his purchase of my husband’s planer and some other smaller items. I contacted Mr. K in the days that followed, expressing my distaste for the underhanded deal he struck up with my unknowing eldest son. I requested that the anvil be returned to my youngest boy. Mr. K refused, stating a deal is a deal. I am left bewildered by his lack of compassion. Mr. K, you sir, are an opportunist. Your focus on obtaining the object you so desired has left a child, who was already depressed and fragile, in an even more damaged state. Shame on you, sir. Mila Schobert Horsefly

Rugby team had ‘superb time’ Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer A group of English rugby players said Williams Lake’s hospitality was unmatched after spending a few days in the lakecity late last month. Students, coaches and representatives from Adams’ Grammar School in Newport, Shropshire, England arrived July 25 for a series of matches against Williams Lake rugby clubs and received a first-hand taste of small-town living in the Cariboo. The school was in the midst of a cross-province tour playing against rugby clubs in B.C., Alberta, and the U.S. Williams Lake is the smallest community the group visited in its trip. Chris Taylor, who coaches the Adams’ Grammar School rugby squad, said everyone had a phenomenal time in Williams Lake. “It’s been an excellent experience,� he said. “The boys were hosted well and all had a superb time and loved all the hosts and effort they put into everything they gave the boys. It’s greatly appreciated by us. “It’s a beautiful area and we’re very fortunate. It’s been brilliant.� The athletes arrived in Calgary, played two games there, then travelled to Banff, Kamloops, Williams Lake, Vancouver and Seattle on their trip. Rodger Stewart, a member of the Williams Lake Rustlers, organized the Williams Lake portion of the group’s tour through his contacts at Rugby BC. He said everything went very smoothly, including two games against local rugby clubs. “They really enjoyed their time here,� Stewart said. “These tours aren’t all about sports — they’re about understanding the community and the economy and the background of the people you’re going to visit and this was a real advantage for us here to have them exposed and engaged within a resourcebased economy in a community like ours.� Adams’ Grammar School fielded two teams for the friendly matches with Williams Lake.

Williams Lake Junior Rustlers player Nathan Stewart (left) breaks away from the ruck during a game against Adams’ Grammar School from Newport, Shropshire, England late July at the Ottoman Drive Rugby Fields. In between games the two local high school girls’ teams played an exhibition. All games were played at the Ottoman Drive Rugby Fields. “They enjoyed the games,� Stewart said. “They were probably some of the most physical games they would be involved in anywhere on their tour. We should have been able to score on them but they had probably one of the most disciplined and organized defensive alignments I’ve seen from any team at any level. It didn’t allow us to be able to take much advantage of any ball we were able to take from them.� Stewart said the opportunity for local players to compete against that calibre of team is second to none. “This is critical in the development of any rugby athletes in our community to be able to both witness and play in games of this nature,� he said. “When you play against quality teams like this ... it starts our youth and our rugby athletes thinking about what it is they might be able to do and broadens their perspective of what rugby is. It really helps to cement rugby in our community when we can bring in teams like this.� Earlier in the day the group visited the Xat’sull Heritage site to learn some of the area’s historical significance. Friday, the group had more opportunity to learn about the area when they visited Tolko Industries and the Lakeview mill. The players, coaches and reps were given further

Adams’ Grammar School coaches Chris Taylor (right) and Sam Egerton said they thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality they received in Williams Lake. insight into how a resource-based community in B.C.’s interior operates. “That was a considerable eyeopener for the lads,� Stewart said. “Their perspective on forestry is very, very much different than what it means to us and our economy.� Tolko representatives Kevin Sytsma and Tom Hoffman led the presentation, along with Stewart, putting the local forestry industry into an economic perspective. “Then we went down to the sawmill and that really blew them
away,� he said. “They started to develop an appreciation of what these things meant.� On Friday, July 26 the group also visited the Cariboo Fire Centre for a presentation. “We’ve got a real debt of gratitude going out to Tolko, the Cariboo Fire Centre and to the Xat’sull Heritage Village, and to two ladies — Karen Brown and Jackie Shaw — who helped lead the meal preparation at the pitch for the games. “Everyone had a great time. They enjoyed the games.�

Lulua recovering after mountain horse wreck Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Local mountain horse racer Jimmy Lulua is recovering in a Kamloops hospital after a horrific accident at the Nemiah Valley Rodeo Sunday. Lulua’s sister Gailene William said Tuesday her brother’s sense of humour was still intact following surgery at Kamloops’ Royal Inland Hospital Monday evening, to repair his skull, which was partially crushed during the accident. “Today [Tuesday] when I went to see him he was still going in and out of sleep but he was talking to me,” William said. “He’s still making jokes and joking about the nurses and he’s still thinking positively. He was flexing his muscles, showing he’s still a strong person and laugh-
ing a bit.” Lulua was competing in Sunday’s mountain horse race at the rodeo when his horse flipped down the embankment near the start of the race. Lulua broke one of his legs above his ankle, along with breaking some bones on his face and skull. Lulua’s horse broke its leg and had to be put down. William said she was video taping on the hill when the accident happened and immediately rushed toward him, along with two other ladies who were close by. “It’s pretty steep near the first part of the trail, and pretty rocky,” she said. “We’re not sure if the horse lost its footing or what but the horse went, from the footage in the video, head over heels and tumbled down the hill. “We’re not sure if the
horse rolled over him, or he was stepped on or if it was the impact of being thrown on the ground that caused his injuries.” Luckily, William said one of the women near her had her level three first aid. Once more people arrived to help they made sure Lulua was kept cool, got him on a spine board and kept him conscious. “When we got there he had a pretty big goose egg on his forehead, which is why he ended up having surgery on his head.” After a near two-hour delay in the rodeo Lulua was medevaced to Williams Lake. “They did some X-rays and put a cast on his leg and then Monday they sent him to Kamloops by ground ambulance,” she said. “He had surgery [Monday] around 6 p.m. and he was in there until
about 9:30 p.m. Where he had the big goose egg it had basically concaved inwards, so they were reconstructing part of his skull and his cheek bones.” William said the staff at Royal Inland Hospital told her they expect him to remain in the Intensive Care Unit until Wednesday; however, it was possible he’d be moved Tuesday. She also said Lulua didn’t suffer any brain injuries in the accident. “He said he had a bit of a headache today but otherwise he was able to stand up,” she said. “His physiotherapist came to see him and they had him sit up in bed and gave him a walker to have him stand up and he did that OK. “They [the nurses] said Lulua’s probably the strongest person there in the ICU.”

Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall made the trek to represent Williams Lake and their province at the event. Campsall said conditions were challenging, requiring extra strategy
and concentration. “Conditions were oppressively hot, the terrain was mountainous and the shots were challenging on all three days of competition,” Campsall said. Close to 300 of the best archers in Canada attended and battled for podium spots, but both Cariboo archers dominated their respective categories. Streleoff, entering his
first Canadian championships, annihilated his competitors and won by more than 100 points. Campsall won by 28 points to claim his eighth Canadian championship. Both men are under consideration to make Team Canada, which will head to Italy for the World Championships in October 2013. The Canadian team will be named this coming Thursday.

Show and Shine goes Sunday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Canadian Tire and the Lakers Car Club are turning up the heat this Sunday when they host their ninth annual show and shine. Brian Stefan, owner of Canadian Tire, said the Ninth Annual Lakers Car Club and Canadian
Tire Show and Shine will take place in the Canadian Tire parking lot from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and invites everyone in the community to attend. He said the idea for another car show in Williams Lake came about after noticing the success of the annual Lakers Car Club Show and Shine in May.
“There’s just that one big car show in town on the May long weekend and we thought there was a good opportunity for another one, but on a smaller scale, which would give more of the local cars a chance to enter and for people to come out and see them,” Stefan said. “We usually get about
40 cars registered.” Stefan invites anyone interested to register their car in the show. Registration to the Lakers Car Club and Canadian Tire Show and Shine is free. “Motorcycles, cars, restoration projects — they’re all welcome to enter,” Stefan said. In addition to the show and shine the Lakers Car
Club will be putting on a barbecue. Stefan said it’s been extremely enjoyable working with the Lakers Car Club to host the show and shine each year. “We couldn’t do it without the great help of the Lakers,” he said. “They’re great community-focused guys.”
Still time to register for sailing camp There’s still time to register for a sailing camp running next week in the lakecity. Children between the ages of six and 15 can register for the camp, being put on by the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex and the BC Sailing Association. The camp goes at Scout Island from Aug. 13-17.
Participants will learn sailing terminology, knots and how to sail by means of games and activities both on and off the water. Seven-foot Optimist sailboats, as well as two-person kayaks, will be used in the program. By the end of the course students will be able to safely sail and
kayak on their own, as well as earn a Can Sail certificate. Professionally trained and Canadian Yachting Association certified coaches will help make sure every experience is a positive and safe one. Additionally, the CMRC and the BC Sailing Association are looking for a volunteer who
is interested in helping with the program. No qualification is necessary, but the volunteer must be at least 16 years of age. You must be great with young kids, patient, be able to function in a high-energy environment and be willing to get wet and have lots of fun. Ideally, this person

Adventure in Australia turns into new career Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK Friday, Aug. 10
Modelling isn’t something everyone can do, even if you are gorgeous. In addition to a pleasing face and body one needs to have the personality able to deliver an image in front of a camera or on a runway — a certain “joie de vivre� as the French say. Jeremy Brink, 23, grew up in Williams Lake and after a short career as a mill worker is now enjoying a modelling career and becoming a partner in a fitness business in Australia. After graduating from Columneetza, Brink worked for a couple of years at West Fraser Sawmill as a millwright apprentice. In November 2010 he quit his job and six days later flew to Australia to do some travelling. “On a whim pretty much,� Brink says. He landed in Sidney where he was meeting five friends. They took off travelling around the country but Brink decided to stay in Sydney. He had a year-long holiday work visa and did a few odd jobs in retail, eventually finding a permanent home with GNC (General Nutrition Centre) which has three stores in Sydney and was looking to open a fourth store. He became a partner with one of the owners in the fourth store and to make some extra money for his investment he started modeling. “A guy came into the store where I was working and offered me a job with Aussiebum,� Brink says. Four days later he was modelling swim wear on live television and then did various photo shoots with the company. With that encouragement he signed on with the Chadwick Agency which found him work in advertisements for Toyota, Mercedes Benz, Asics shoes, and some live runway work. His agency also sends him on location shoots to international destinations such as Jakarta and the U.S. “You just learn as you go,� Brink says. This past November Brink got a four-year visa and business licence to stay in Australia where he lives on Bondi Beach, a 10-minute commute to the new store. He’s living the Australian dream usually fitting in surfing three or four mornings a week before heading off to work. Modelling also requires that he keep fit which he does by working out in the gym five days a week, surfing three or four mornings a week and soft-sand running in his bare feet on the beach.
Street Party The Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake hosts its annual Street Party at the centre on Fourth Ave. across from Safeway this Friday, Aug. 10 from 6 to 10 p.m. Enjoy a free hotdog barbecue, prizes and  entertainment.

Jeremy Brink with one of his promotional photos for his modelling career in Australia. “They clean the beach every night because people are running there every day,� Brink says. “I absolutely love it.� He is also no stranger to fitness, having played rep hockey through high school in Williams Lake. Brink was home this spring to visit his extended family but feels quite comfortable making his home in Australia. “It’s fun and I’m meeting a lot of cool people,� Brink says. “There is always something going on, events and concerts, etc.� He says he had a lawyer draw up the papers to get a business visa and in another year and a half he will be eligible to apply for permanent residency status in Australia. But he will always be drawn home to the Cariboo for family and is planning his next trip home for Stampede 2013. “It’s nice being a business owner and modeling definitely helps,� Brink says.
The Big Lake Country Fair takes place in Big Lake this Saturday, Aug. 11 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Big Lake Community Hall with lots of shaded rest areas in the lakeshore setting.

James and Vera Craigen remembered The recent passing of both James (Jim) Craigen and Vera Craigen (nee Auger) will no doubt give us pause to consider how they left their mark on Williams Lake. Jim. For any of you who attended grade school during the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, or even the early 2000s may have fond memories of attempting to best Jim during one of his lunchtime chess tournaments. Here he would encourage elementary students by playing multiple games simultaneously, often armed merely with a king and his pawns. Faithful readers of the Tribune will remember Jim’s regular columns Just thinking, and later Chess Thinking, wherein he would take on various issues of the day, often combining his particular brand of moral insight and good-natured humour. Much of Jim’s life revolved around the newspaper business. From his early beginnings as a young journalist in Powell River to his later columns in the Tribune and even delivery routes for the Tribune, Sun and Province, he was never far from the printed page. Jim was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada during the 1960s and 70s, a time when the party experienced many upheavals. Jim has told us of his hopes to reform the system of representation in favour of improving the Cariboo region. As for Jim’s personal political views, these were harder to pin down.
Vera and James Craigen Often times he could be found in many of the local restaurants engaged in lively debates where he would take the opposing side merely to advance the discussion. He lived up to his own often repeated view that one should “not merely look for evidence that supports one’s views, but look for that which challenges them too.” So although his personal political views may have been hard to tease out of him, what was clear was how much he valued open and thoughtful debate. Vera. If you were married or attended a wedding any time in the last 40 years, most likely your church organist was Vera Craigen. As much as newspapers were a part of Jim’s life, music was as deep a part of Vera’s. From her early years on her parents’ farm in Guelph, Ontario, to the private lessons she gave in her own home, she was never far from a piano or organ keyboard. While Jim was a re-
porter in Powell River, Vera was the lead accompanist for the travelling Elgar Choir. And when Jim got the chance to interview Vera for the paper it was the beginning of a love story that spanned over six decades. And even a busy life as a mother of five boys and a girl, with a husband then travelling the province, Vera still managed to give piano lessons, prepare students for the local music festivals, and accompany as organist for regular church services at St. Andrews United Church, where they were members since shortly after arriving in Williams Lake in 1966. As her children grew and moved on, Vera remained active in her service to the community. She regularly volunteered at Deni House to play popular music for the patients and staff there. Her deep love of classical music was augmented by the deep affection she received for performing more light hearted tunes such as
Roll Out the Barrel. Vera Passed away this May 25, 2012, preceded by Jim in 2008. Their memory lives on in those who came to
know and love them. On Monday Aug. 13, at 3 p.m. a committal service for Jim and Vera will be held at 623 Dog Creek Rd, where there will be an opportunity to share memories of Jim and Vera with surviving family members, including many family members travelling from across Canada. The family invites others who wish to mark Jim and Vera’s passing to join them on that day. A small informal reception will follow that evening in the basement of the St. Andrew’s United Church at 1000 Huckvale Place. Community members are welcome to attend.

MORTGAGE MESSAGE Maximize your mortgage payments; own your home sooner! Pay down your mortgage sooner and save yourself thousands of dollars in interest payments throughout the term of your mortgage. Most mortgage products include prepayment privileges that enable you to pay up to an extra 20% of the principal per calendar year. This knocks down the balance owing and reduces your amortization period (the length of your mortgage).
Some lenders will only let you make these lumpsum payments on the anniversary date of your mortgage while others will allow you to spread out the lump-sum payments over the year. Since each lender and product is different it’s important to check the stipulations on your prepayment privileges prior to signing your mortgage documents. It could mean saving you several thousand in interest and several years shaved off your mortgage. Own your home sooner! Talk to your mortgage broker for more information.

Conspiracy Case a puzzling scenario Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer If you enjoy puzzles and are looking for an interesting way to while away an hour or two drop by the upper Station House Gallery. You will walk into an old-time detective agency with a few modernday conveniences such as surveillance videos. The setting is as authentic as Montreal artist Edwin Janzen could make it, right down to the agency certificate hanging on the wall, detective’s desk, chairs, old filing cabinets, old TV monitors with surveillance videos running, and bulletin boards. There is also an in-out box and typewriter in the corner where visitors can sit down and file their own situational reports. But first, carefully analyze the information post on the crime wall. Janzen titles his installation Conspiracy Case: A fantasy of total surveillance — and it certainly is. The subjects of Janzen’s investigation are Columbian Ground Squirrels. Janzen explained at his opening last week that he became interested in ground squirrels while helping to set up

enforcement in a post 911 environment. According to his artist’s statement the Spermophilus Columbianus (the Columbian Ground Squirrel) is predisposed
to conspiracy, their communal living being the source of this theory. He spent most of July researching and setting up his show. Janzen says he couldn’t find any Columbian Ground Squirrels near the Station House Gallery and had to look further afield, finally finding a colony to study behind the Overlander/Ramada Inn. After recording the squirrels’ activities and creating his detective’s office at the gallery, Janzen used his obviously ample imagination to create a scenario in which the squirrels are part of a nefarious underworld crime ring or terrorist organization, complete with suspicious characters, bunkers, and weapons cache. He patterned the exhibit after television shows such as Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire or Hill Street Blues that were just coming into the digital age when created. Janzen came to do a show in Williams Lake because of his real life connections in the art world. He studied art at Concordia University where he became friends with fellow students Leah Selk, co-ordinator of the Central Cariboo
Arts and Culture Society, and Beth Holden, exhibition co-ordinator for the Station House Gallery. Janzen holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University and a Master of Fine Arts from Ottawa University. He is an interdisciplinary artist who works in screen printing, video arts, photography and also does some free-

lance commercial writing to help pay the bills. Janzen is looking forward to expanding his squirrely concept in new shows in other communities across Canada where the Columbian Ground Squirrels roam. He says there is always the potential to map out connections between groups of squirrels in other communities, expand squir-
rel surveillance underground with the help of conservation officers and possibly introduce an interactive on-line component, all of which would link back to the start of his research in Williams Lake. The show runs in the upper gallery until Sept. 1. Janzen notes that no squirrels were harmed in the making of this show.

COMMUNITY Darlene Wheeldon loved community and family Darlene Wheeldon was born May 18, 1950 in Williams Lake to Ray and Dora Curtis. She was the youngest of 12 children and the caretaker of all. Darlene spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her mom and inherited the fabulous gift of baking and cooking. The Curtis clan grew up on the corner of Third Avenue and Barnard Street. But as the song goes: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot!” In 1971 Darlene married Gordie Wheeldon. They met while Darlene cooked in the camp that Gordie worked at. Darlene was in her element being at home while they started their family. Their first daughter, Patty, was born in 1971, followed by Dora-Lee in 1973. Darlene loved her daughters and she was very active in school events, sports and driving them to wherever they needed to go. Both Darlene and Gordie wanted their kids to be involved in the community and encouraged them to join activities.
Darlene Wheeldon Gordie coached the girls’ baseball while Darlene was their biggest fan! Darlene loved all kids ... all people. When it came to family, she never missed a birthday or a special occasion. She always had time for a conversation, an encouraging word or a ready ear. Family was a big part of who Darlene was. She was all about family and her family extended well beyond Gordie and her girls.
She was a caretaker to her brothers, sisters and mom and dad. She took care of people, and did so without hesitation. She was everyone’s rock and the “go to” person who could be counted on at anytime for anything. Together Darlene and Gordie created a home that always had an open door for anyone. They welcomed everybody and enjoyed having people stay and were proud of their community and the
history of the Cariboo. They were great tour guides and would take you for a drive around the countryside pointing out different sites and telling some very interesting stories. In 2006 Darlene welcomed her first granddaughter, Makena, followed by another granddaughter, Ashton, in 2008. These girls were Darlene’s world and she was so very proud of them. She taught them how to swim, and the trio was very well loved at the local swimming pool. She never went longer than two days without seeing them. Makena and Ashton loved their “Wawa” so, so much and the feeling was mutual. A relationship this strong between a grandma and granddaughters is extra special, and they are missing her very much. Darlene had a morning routine… . She would get up at about 5 a.m. and would normally bake something and get dinner prepared for later on in the day. She would call Patty at about 5:45 a.m. and they would have their morning chat.
She would get her breakfast ready and then the phone would ring about 7:15 a.m. and it would be DoraLee calling for their morning chat. She would continue with her morning calls to Bev and Elsie. Then she would get ready to go to town with her baking or buns as she was always dropping in to visit someone and making sure everyone was all right. Darlene was very active in the community. She was a lifetime member with the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, a regular at the swimming pool and an active participant for
bake sales, fundraisers etc. with her amazing baking. She will be missed by her large circle of friends and per passing is a loss to both the town and the community at large. She would pick Makena up from school and take the girls to the park and for ice cream. Every year Darlene, Patty, Dora-Lee, Makena and Ashton would meet for a girls’ weekend. These times will be missed immensely. Only three weeks before her passing, the family spent an incredible week in Disneyland. Darlene loved seeing the magic in Makena’s and Ashton’s eyes.
She went on all the rides and soaked up all the amazement and wonder through her granddaughters’ experience. Darlene passed away suddenly on May 23, 2012. Darlene is survived by her husband Gordie, daughters Patty, Dora-Lee (Randy) and granddaughters Makena and Ashton. The family would like to thank the ambulance staff and the staff at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Special thanks to Dan Smith for officiating the beautiful service and a huge thank you to all of the family and friends who helped with flowers and food and support.

“They call the Cariboo home” Angus Morrison takes on solo piping challenge Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Angus Morrison has been part of the lakecity’s construction industry since arriving in the community from his hometown of Richmond back in 1972. He worked on many large construction projects in the region and after retiring in 2004 took on a new challenge — learning to play a set of Great Highland Bagpipes he purchased as a young man but never had the time to play. He enjoys the freedom of being a solo player. “About 10 per cent of pipers are solo players,” Angus says. “I was a contractor for 32 years and marched to someone else’s timetable all those years so I didn’t want to be marching to anyone else’s timetable again.” His father Donald Morrison was from Uist, South Hebrides and his mother Elizabeth (nee McDonald) was from Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. His father was a piper in the Cameron Highlanders Military Band in the mid-1940s and a solo piper until the mid-1950s. “I was hearing good pipe music before I could talk,” Angus says. “There were about 10 other pipers in our family, mostly uncles. Often there was piping at family gatherings and functions.” In his first five years of learning to pipe, Angus attended the piping summer school at Silver Star in Vernon for a week each July where some of the best pipers in the world come to teach and people from all over the world come to learn. Angus took three levels of certification at this school, the last of which is the level three Piping Drumming Qualification Board Exam from which he achieved his level five piping certificate. He also met Andrew Bonar

at the summer school who has played with the Simon Fraser University pipe band for about 30 years and agreed to give him private lessons. After pulling wrenches for more than 40 years, Angus says his fingers are slower some days than others depending on the weather, but he loves piping and competing as a solo piper in events around the Pacific Northwest and Alberta. Angus and his “Honey Bunny,” Lorraine Baker, who plays guitar, clarinet and also plays piano for the Old Time Fiddlers, have a lot of fun travelling to competitions. On these trips they join up with friends and also enjoy fishing and dancing together on the trips. A big thrill for Angus this spring was competing at the Bellingham Highland Games in Washington near where his father played back in 1943. This year he also attended Highland Games competitions in Comox,
Victoria, the B.C. Games at Coquitlam, the Annual Gathering in New Westminster, and the Kamloops Games. Still to come this year are the Calgary Games and Canmore Games in September. Angus has also made two trips to Glasgow, Scotland to attend the World Pipe Band Championships, held in August each year. He says about 225 pipe bands from all over the world compete in one of six different grades, and there can be 6,000 pipers and drummers on the field at one time. Here at home he says there can be as many as 25 solo players in a single event who perform a song before an adjudicator. The adjudicator assesses how well a tune is played compared to the original music as well as the player’s timing and how well their instrument is tuned. Angus says he bought his pipes back in 1969 not realizing they were antiques favoured by top players. The pipes are made of ivory and African black-wood. While pipes themselves can last a long time he says the bags need to be replaced every three or four years. “I’ve been complimented on the tone of my pipes. They just have a very rich sound,” Angus says. These days Angus competes in six different idioms including marches, reels, airs, and classical pipe music. “Practice time now involves about an hour most days,” Angus says. “It is a lifetime challenge to improve.” He says piping is good for the whole respiratory system and the best place to practice is outside because that is where the competitions are held. Before calling Williams Lake home 40 years ago, Angus worked as an instrument fitter for Honeywell Controls on inter-

esting construction projects such as the SFU and BCIT buildings, two jails, hospitals and on large industrial sites. But after enduring four labour disputes in as many years he struck out for Williams Lake to become an independent contractor. He arrived with a journeyman plumber trade qualification with an inter-provincial qualification, also a journeyman steamfitter, pipe-fitter trade qualification and a Class B gas-fitters license. He says the move turned out to be the right one career wise. In the Interior he worked on some of the bigger process furnaces and equipment now in use at area sawmills, plywood plants and mines. He has installed equipment at Boss Mountain, Black Dome, and Gibraltar mines. He installed and serviced equipment in most mills in this area. As well there were many trips to Vanderhoof, Bear Lake, 100 Mile House and Savona. Angus also taught Level B gas-fitting courses for about five years at Cariboo College (now Thompson Rivers University) in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Then in 1979 he upgraded to a class “A” gas-fitters license at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George and also sat and passed the Fourth Class Steam

Engineers exam. From 1994 to 1998 Angus travelled to Prince George and taught Levels B and A gasfitting courses at a private facility. Angus and his former wife have a daughter, Rhonda, who is the materials manager for an industrial equipment manufacturer in Sidney, and a son, Michael, who is chief of staff at the Navy base in Esquimalt. Angus was also a Rotarian for 13 years serving a term as president, and was also a director with the Stampede Association in the 1980s. Last November Angus received a call from the B.C. Pipers Association president Rob MacNeil asking if he would stand as a director with the organization that is the umbrella for all the sanctioned highland games in the Pacific Northwest (bcpipers. org) responsible for policy, rules, and directional change. He feels quite “stoked” to be asked to serve as a director. “It was kind of like the pope calling and asking a priest if he would like to be a cardinal,” says Angus, who happily accepted. Next year, Angus says his personal piping challenge is to test for the level six piping certificate which involves playing 13 tunes in seven idioms and a written exam on music construction. He also plans to play at 10 highland games competitions and spend a week at piping school. Angus knows pipers who are still playing at 85 and he hopes to be playing well into his own 80s. “You meet a lot of good people in the piping community from all over the world and walks of life and of all ages,” Angus says. “Most are helpful and polite and the competitions soon become a test for your own ability. The players you compete with, many soon become your friends.”
