Fagg back in 4-h sale goes Wednesday court Sept. 4 Crown Council said today that Williams Lake area resident Robert Fagg is scheduled for an arraignment hearing in Williams Lake Supreme Court on Sept. 4.

Charges the 24-year-old faces include one count of beak-and-enter, one count of forcible confinement, two counts of sexual assault and three counts of assault.

The offences took place over a five-year period from 2007 to 2012 and involved three different females who had been in relationships with Fagg.

On July 22, members of the North District Regional General Investigation Section travelled to Quesnel to arrest Fagg. As a result of the RCMP investigation, a report was forwarded to Provincial Crown Counsel who approved seven new charges against Fagg.

Learning from Gibraltar can help move relationships forward: Mack Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Speaking from the experience of being the First Nation community located closest to Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine ?Esdilagh Chief Bernie Mack told the New Prosperity Mine federal review panel Wednesday he believed it is important for people to understand the true historical context of mining in the area.

“We remain marginalized from any benefits of this mine and suffer all consequences of its development,” he said. “After 40 years of existence this mine has provided our people with about three jobs and severely impacted our Aboriginal rights and displaced us from our lands.”

Proposed projects must respect

the original owners of the land and companies must develop a good working relationship early, he added.

Everyone can learn from working at improving relationships that are of a mutual beneficial nature to all people. The most important consideration is conservation and protection of the land and waters, Mack said.

“As everyone knows, we can’t have a good economy without a healthy environment.”

Historically, First Nations travelled long distances and set up villages and camps in areas where there was good fishing, hunting and harvesting of berries, roots, medicines and other life nourishing foods, Mack explained.

RCMP moving to digital encryption for communication Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP will be joining other detachments across Canada and switching from un-encrypted analog communications to digital with encryption.

It’s a change that means the public will no longer be able to

listen in on police activity by a scanner.

“I cannot wait for this new system,” said RCMP Insp. Warren Brown Thursday. “It will allow the police to talk and share information that cannot be intercepted.”

“We find that at most drug houses and active criminal safe houses they utilize scanners for their own

benefit. They want to know where police are, staging fake calls at fake locations, etc.

They utilize the interception of our communications for their benefit.”

The modernization has already take place in the Lower Mainland, the Capital Regional District (Victoria area) and about 20 per cent of the rest

of the province.

Brown said he hopes the move will not compromise media coverage of police news in the city.

“While there are no plans to provide the operational encrypted tactical police radios to media, we — like the other police departments that have adopted this technology —remain

committed to providing the media with as much information as possible on those matters that involve public safety and security and emergencies.”

There is a very significant cost to the new system, so depending on budgets, it will be phased in most likely not until 2014, Brown added.

Taskeo working on three co-operation agreements Continued From Page A1 “Our society and governance evolved like others through co-existence of interdependency on the abundance provided by our natural resources.”

He suggested if government and industry are willing to take proactive and brave steps forward and truly develop meaningful and productive relationship with First Nations, commerce and economy will bloom across Canada.

Re s p o n d i n g Taseko’s senior vice president of operations John McManus said Taseko is presently working with three communities on participation and cooperation agreements at Gibraltar.

“But one of the things that Chief Bernie brought up this morning was the abil-

ity to learn from experience and we’ve really tried,” McManus said.

He admitted Taseko hasn’t reached the point where the company wanted to with those agreements.

“We came very close several times with both Xatsull and ?Esdilagh, and would like to complete those but this Panel process and the environmental assessment around New Prosperity is one of the large problems that we have in closing those agreements.”

Within the participation and cooperation agreements, there is funding for capacity within those agreements but there’s also an emphasis on how Taseko communicates with First Nations groups that the company is working with on what the situation is at Gibraltar, McManus said.

“We get input into the things that we do

physically to repair the damages, if we look at impacts of the mine.”

Gibraltar was built in 1971 and a lot of things that are known now about impacts weren’t known then, he added.

When Taseko bought Gibraltar it accepted the liability of those things and has worked towards putting in programs which will resolve

them.

Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) chief Roger William asked McManus if Taseko has a good framework or template to develop Impact and Benefit agreements with First Nations.

“I can tell you a lot of those IBAs which have been signed are not something that we would document,” McManus responded.

“There are some re-

ally bad ones out there and there have been some real examples of what looks like a good agreement, which turns out to have bad consequences.”

Taseko’s not only studying the law and what happens with the court of appeals, but is watching what happens with other mining companies and other situations in this country and abroad, he added.

Cariboo Cattlemen meet with Minister of Agriculture Pat Pimm in Williams Lake Liz Twan Special to The Tribune A notice went out to most of the membership of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association, however it was a relatively small group of producers who ventured into town on Tuesday, Aug. 13 to attend an informal get-together with the most recent appointee to the office of the Minister of Agriculture.

The Honourable Pat Pimm, a lifelong resident of the Peace River area (Fort St. John) was re-elected as the MLA-Peace River North then appointed as Minister of Agriculture on June 13, 2013.

He comes to the position as a ’newbie,’ a first-time minister who will be learning the inner workings of a ministerial position along with the issues and concerns confronting those involved in the agricultural sector of his portfolio.

The event in Williams Lake was a whistle stop on a summer tour arranged by Pimm as informal way to meet with people, listen to their concerns and familiarize himself with the various sectors of agriculture in B.C. There is a lot to absorb. Pimm notes there are in excess of 250 agricultural commodities produced in BC. Both Caribooarea MLA’s were

The B.C. Minister of Agriculture, Pat Pimm, was in Williams Lake last week meeting with members of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association Aug. 13. Pimm is in the midst of a province-wide tour arranged by himself to help him meet people in the various sectors of agriculture in B.C. attendance at the Cattleman’s Association Meeting as well (Donna Barnett and Coralee Oakes).

With the knowledge that Pimm’s time was limited, the executive of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association set an agenda, with a different cattleman selected to introduce and speak to each area of concern.

CCA President Cuyler Huffman gave a brief welcome, then it was on to the business of the day as the concerns and issues itemized on the agenda were voiced by an individual on behalf of the whole group with a short question and answer follow-up.

First up was Roger

Patenaude of 150 Mile House, who asked Pimm what his government planned to do about the carbon tax which incurs onerous costs to most agricultural operations as the majority of them consume relatively high amounts of fuel (diesel and gas, particularly) to facilitate production.

His response turned out to be the highlight of the evening, as Pimm stated that effective January 1, 2014, a carbon tax exemption will be provided to farmers for the same coloured motor fuels (gasoline and diesel) and uses that they are currently able to purchase exempt from motor fuel

tax.

The surprise and relief was palpable in the room as cattle producers have been lobbying (unsuccessfully) for some time to gain that exemptstatus.

Other items or issues of concern were put forward by the following speakers: David Zirnhelt (Beaver Valley) spoke about the transplantation of ‘problem Elk’ from elsewhere in B.C. to the Cariboo region and reiterated that ranchers need to be consulted in such matters, as they will likely be the frontline group to be impacted by such moves (on rangelands/standing and stored feed

crops). The cattlemen are concerned that they appear to have no seat in the discussion/planning and process.

Cuyler Huffman spoke about the predator control issue, always the hot-button topic at any such gathering. Predation of cattle is still a major-loss cost-factor and the problem is not lessening or going away.

The producers are not advocating the wholesale removal of wolves in the area, but pleading for some help with those predating specifically on cattle as their losses in herd numbers and dollars are quite astronomical in some

cases.

Other topics raised included Work Safe BC recent reviews/ changes (many mandatory) for ranch-operations. Some of the required changes are very costly to implement, particularly in remote areas; for instance, communication and requiring the installation of expensive radio systems when cell-service is not an alternative.

There was some discussion of local abattoirs, relating to lack of places to get animals booked into kill-spaces.

For the first time in recent memory there appears to be a problem with booking all of the 4-H

animals into a facility to be killed, cut and wrapped.

The Highway Fencing Program was highlighted as it is about to end due to the end of funding, although the applications are still rolling in as much of the highway-fence is twenty years old or better and in severe need of major repair or replacement.

A Highway 20 rancher noted that he, his family and crew must move cattle across the busy roadway often and what was once a pokey little thoroughfare is now a major highway with motorists (and logging trucks) travelling at high speeds.

His requests for underpasses have met with no positive response thus far, he said.

Dirt-plugged cattle guards received mention as well.

The two hours passed by far too quickly, the topicsdiscussed-list goes on: the cost of dam inspection on private lands, the length of grazing tenures, a cattle insurance program, the Ranching Task Force and much more.

Pimm came across as personable and approachable, advising that he is not about to make any promises to cut through or eliminate red tape, but instead is willing to assist with a specific problem or issue once it is brought to his attention.

NEWS City’s new CAO Garceau to submit monthly reports to council Monica Lamb-Yorski Special to The Tribune With just over six weeks under his belt, the city’s new chief administrative officer Darrell Garceau is making some changes.

At Tuesday’s council meeting he gave a report to council and told members he plans to submit reports on a monthly basis.

There are a number of ongoing capital projects, the most visible being South Lakeside, he said.

“Work is ongoing and effective this week a lot of the subexcavation work will take place and that’s when it will get nasty because that’s when we obliterate the road.”

That part of the project will take about four weeks, and the project will be ongoing, beginning at the west end and moving east.

“Unfortunately the people of Williams Lake will have to endure this for a couple more months.”

Last week the city introduced its new budget process, which will include a roundtable discussion hosted by the city at the Gibraltar Room on Sept. 12.

Pamphlets have been made and distributed regarding the meeting and Garceau explained the intent of the meeting is to launch and embark on a “very public process” relative to budgets.

Cruisin’ for a Cause Thurs. Aug. 22 Hwy 97 South 250-392-2880

“We want members of the public to attend and give feedback to city council on its directives for the 2014 budget and ultimately as we go forward.”

The intent of the meeting is not to provide council with a lot of information about the budget, but that does not mean the city has done all the work on behalf of the community, he added.

If there’s enough interest there could be subsequent meetings, although the hope is that by the Oct. 16 staff can present the budget in full detail to council.

“We will go to extraordinary lengths to advertise the process so that we can fill council chambers with the public so we

cause the city is one of four municipalities that does not own the policing building.

“We have to be in

a position to make a decision by January 2014.”

In 2014, due to Bill C-42, the city will also need to consider the option that guard and matron position at the RCMP detachment may have to be within the city employee group.

“That is something that will be coming to the attention of city council,” he said.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he appreciated the report.

“The community will be more than happy to see a report like this because it’s an excellent way of letting the community know what staff is doing,” he said.

NEWS Diabetes survey to help local pharmacists make improvements

At your house?

Tara Sprickerhoff photo

Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer People in Williams Lake with adult type 2 diabetes, and their health care providers, are once again being asked to help make services better by participating in a survey.

Jennifer Mitchell, a recently trained Certified Diabetes Educator and a member of the Interior Health Diabetes Collaborative, says the surveys will allow the collaborative to “find out where we need to focus our efforts to improve diabetes resources.”

“We take those comments and use them to try and improve,” she said.

Results from a previous survey have already helped the collaborative.

“We’ve worked on making sure doctors are aware of where they should refer diabetes patients to here in town, and we’re trying to improve who has got diabetes knowledge in town,” Mitchell said.

macist at Shoppers Drug Mart in Williams Lake, completed her Certified Diabetes Educator training in July and has since been working to help diabetes patients with her improved skills.

“It’s a higher level of education focussing on diabetes,” she said, adding that it has also allowed her to specialize on Canadian recommendations for diabetes in particular.

“The kind of stuff we find ourselves answering is about how to adjust insulin doses if blood sugars are high or low or fluctuating.

“We’ve taken special training to focus in and look at the picture and say we need to do this

to get this under control and then we can do this. So that seems to be the main thing that we focus on: looking at those blood sugars and finding a way to basically manage them and stabilize them.”

As a type 1 diabetic herself, Mitchell has seen an increase in referrals from doctors to help people with diabetes since becoming a Certified Diabetes Educator.

However, despite her new training and new initiatives that the Diabetes Collaborative has worked on, Mitchell hopes more people will fill out the survey.

We need to know “whether things are improving with our committee or whether

they are worse and areas where we can focus on,” she said.

Surveys take five minutes to fill out and are available in Williams Lake at the Atwood Clinic, Yorston Clinic, Shoppers Drug Mart, and the Diabetes Clinic in Dene House.

The surveys for diabetes health care providers can be food at http://fluidsurveys. com/s/ProviderQuarterly/.

While the surveys are anonymous those who fill them out can leave their name and contact information.

They will be entered into a draw to win a $25 gift certificate to Save-On-Foods or Safeway in Williams Lake.

cout Island beach. Here we go again.

One day recently one of my grandfamilies came to visit and the parents were miffed because they’d taken their little ones to Scout Island but left because they hadn’t taken a rake to clear themselves a spot free of goose poop.

This was a problem last year, too, but now with the big trees gone there are no shady spots and what u s e d to be a great French Connection place Diana French to be, isn’t any more.

If the trees were a danger, OK, cut them, but are there plans to replace them? Can’t council scare up some dollars to plant a few medium-sized shade trees? What about lilac? After all that’s our civic flower.

We pontificate about having a vibrant community and how we need a brand and mines and who knows what else to attract people to live here, but we can’t even maintain what should be one of the city’s main attractions.

We claim to be concerned about our young people but we can’t be bothered to provide a free place for them to enjoy themselves.

My family, including the older grandchildren, were among the crowds who used to enjoy the beach in the summer. It was easy to go for a swim during the day or have a picnic supper and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. Now caca has taken over and the beach crowd is sparse even on the hottest days of summer.

I am a big supporter of the Scout Island Nature Centre. It is one of our major assets, but surely a clean, healthy beach is important, too. Unfortunately having a usable beach right in the city is not high on council’s agenda.

Is there still a recreation commission? If not, maybe the city could appoint a task force to find some longterm solution for what is, I believe, a designated park.

Our Viewpoint

Phones not too smart They’re called smartphones but the way some people use them is anything but smart, giving us all legitimate cause for concern about public safety.

A new poll that shows that 64 per cent of adults in B.C. own a smartphone also reveals, more disturbingly, that about 18 per cent of those who do consider themselves “strongly addicted to the device.”

Predictably, the majority who placed themselves in that particular category describe their addiction as “manageable.” It’s a rare addict, after all, who acknowledges his or her addiction — whatever it is — is galloping out of control. That all changes, of course, when the addict is faced with incontrovertible evidence — usually some severe crisis or tragedy — that calls for an immediate change in behaviour.

The question is, should we, as a society, be expected to pay the price of such a crisis or tragedy? Particularly when it’s something like an accident caused by driving without due care and attention?

Smartphones offer entertainment and information through a multitude of apps, and they have very practical uses in terms of communication,

particularly in emergencies, that have, so far, merely scratched the surface of their potential.

But it’s no news they also function as a distraction. According to the recent poll, those who describe themselves as addicted estimate they spend an average of 2.5 of their waking hours staring at their diminutive keypads and screens. If that 2.5 hours were spent in one block of time, it might be a different matter but it’s spread throughout the day, usually while the users are multi-tasking in some way.

We should all be more aware of the imminent dangers such devices present and to make sure that we are actually controlling them — not the other way around.

The human animal is flawed and there is always the temptation to make just one short call, or glance at that incoming message. A quick look, a few more words, just this once — who could it hurt?

his past weekend I was in Sherbrooke, Que., for the final day of the 2013 Canada Summer Games. I had the chance to see Team BC in competition, and they did a fantastic job or representing our province both on and off the field.

It was just a few short weeks ago that I had the pleasure of announcing our MLA f l a g Musings bearer for our Coralee Oakes team, wrestler Ashley Osachuk from Campbell River, who won a silver medal in her event. Team B.C. was full of upstanding young athletes like Ashley, and I was very glad to have the chance to see them compete.

I’m proud to say that our athletes performed very well in the games, with Team BC placing third behind Ontario and Quebec. Team BC won 47 gold, 36 silver, and 39 bronze, for a total of 122 medals in just over two weeks of competition. Our gold medals came in a wide variety of sports, including athletics, fencing, rowing, tennis, wrestling, swimming, and more. Our men’s baseball and beach volleyball teams and women’s soccer and softball teams also won gold in their competitions.

Sports teach us about teamwork and bring us together as a country, as a province, and as a community. Our athletes really exemplified that at the Canada Games, truly living up to the Games’ motto of “unity through sport.”

With all the exciting finals taking place on Saturday, I can’t wait to see the next edition of the Canada Games in 2015 – right here in British Columbia! Prince George will be hosting the winter games in February 2015, so you can catch Team BC competing with home field advantage then!

Mine an issue of national significance Editor: As we near the end of the hearings into New Prosperity, local politicians need to be reminded that the Tsilhqot’in people have stated time and again, with great eloquence and depth of feeling, that the mine will destroy their cherished way of life.

Though Taseko Mines spokesperson John McManus says that is not true, testimony by independent experts corroborate what the Tsihqot’in people are saying.

TML is unable to counter their arguments as it seeks to destroy a place that is sacred to Tsilhqot’in people.

This is a national issue for

First Nations. Grand Chief Stewart Philip has said: “If there is federal government approval of Taseko’s New Prosperity Mine it will signal to Indigenous Peoples across Canada that their values, beliefs, and ways of living will be trampled upon whenever the federal government deems a potential resource development project economically significant.”

This statement is echoed by the Assembly of First Nations resolution of June 29, 2012, which states: “The AFN fully supports the Tsilhqot’in Nation in asserting their inherent Indigenous rights to have a say over any activities that could impact their tra-

ditional territories. The Crown must act honourably in a manner consistent with the principles of free, prior, and informed consent as articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Ultimately, it is the Tsilhqot’in Nation — the people and the territory — that would be affected by any development and they must have the final say on any proposals …”

Despite all this Mr. Gustafson, legal counsel for TML, has stated that he believes Taseko has a legal right to build and operate the mine under the law as presently constituted.

This would appear to contradict a ruling, since upheld

in the Appeal Court of B.C. TNG counsel Jay Nelson has explained “that provincial forestry planning and authorizations unjustifiably infringed Tsilhqot’in Aboriginal ... rights. Although Tsilhqot’in do not have a ‘veto’ over forestry, the proposed forestry amounted to a substantial infringement of Aboriginal rights that was not justified in the circumstances and thus could not lawfully proceed.”

It is a mistake for TML representatives to try to spin the truth about what is actually unfolding at the hearings into New Prosperity Mine.

This is a local issue of national and global significance for Aboriginal Rights and for the min-

ing industry itself. It is even one that goes to the heart of the nature of Canada.

Are we to become an adult nation, respectful of all citizens, with the ability to demonstrate to the rest of the world that we are a worthwhile guide as to how to ‘get it right’ in a post colonial world, or are we to continue down a path where bad projects that harm the environment get approved over the clear and loud objections of the local communities that live near them?

I for one do not want to live in that world.

David Williams Executive Director Friends of the Nemaiah Valley

Canadian sacrifices made should be deeply treasured Editor:

Regarding my right to express my opinion — I, as a Canadian, have earned the right to express my opinion — 115,000 Canadian Soldiers died in two World Wars.

They died to help make this country a free country, a democratic county.

Had these people not sacrificed their lives, there is a great possibility we today might not have choices, choices to speak up against, or for things, including pipelines and mines.

The right to speak, is a right that none of us should take lightly.

As we consider the millions of lives lost under both Stalin’s and Hitler’s dictatorships, things could have ended far different for each of us in this country, had our fellow countrymen not given their lives for the freedom and rights we today enjoy.

Regarding drumming and bagpipes, in both of these world conflicts, where those human lives were freely given, all marched off to the sound of bagpipes ringing in their ears,

with their lives they bought and paid for this country.

I am not a veteran of these wars, but as a former member of Canada’s Armed Forces, the sacrifices made for Canada’s democratic rights for all Canadians should be, a deeply treasured part of our countries heritage as free Canadians.

Many of the sacrifices made, included bodies never recovered, some of these families do not have anything more than old faded photos, and bits and pieces of memorabilia.

Aside from any other heritage,

today’s freedom to be Canadian is the heritage we all should remember, and not forget how we come to have it.

As a receiver of a monthly Social Security check, I know exactly where that money comes from; it comes from the pockets of millions of Canadians that do work for a living, including those that work at mines.

Each year the government reaches deeper into these pockets by the process of taxation, the government does this, so that the growing number of the nonworking segment of society, can

also provide for their families.

Many countries of the world are financially collapsing and failing, attempting to appease and satisfy the ever growing demands of a populace.

Bluntly, Canada needs workers, and workers need jobs so that Canada can continue to provide for those that don’t work, that’s Canada’s democracy.

A growing number of Canadians seem to have forgotten this.

NEWS Healthy snacks not a money maker, says report Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Providing healthier snacks in the vending machines doesn’t make any money, says a new report from the Williams Lake Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex Joint Committee.

Since it switched to vendors that provide healthier snacks and beverages in 2011, the complex has seen a loss of revenue of approximately $7,000 per year.

“We knew going into this that obviously revenue was going to go down,” director of recreation services Geoff Paynton said Friday.

“Junk food sells and it sells a lot.”

A year after the city implemented its Healthy Food and Beverage policy, it entered into five-year contracts with vendors, and by the bids that trickled in beforehand it was apparent the city would not make as much money taking the healthy route.

“The vendors knew there’s not the revenue there for them in the healthy food industry,” Paynton said. “ But the reality is it’s better at the end of the day for people and kids.

It’s one of those trade offs.”

From all beverages sold from the vending machines through a contract with PepsiCo the complex receives a five per cent commission.

Its other contract, with Blackstock Ventures, sees the complex receive zero per cent commission for healthy

snacks and 10 per cent commission on hot beverages.

There was a big move from the provincial government a few years ago to get schools and recreation facilities and public buildings to move in that direction, Paynton recalled.

The CMRC received a Healthy Food and Beverage Grant from the provincial government which provided resources to hire a contractor to audit the snack and beverage machines at the facility, organize user group meetings, communicate with vendors and assist with writing a policy.

“They had discussions with user groups and did some surveys to see what people wanted. It was quite the process at the time,” Paynton said.

City council discussed the report during its regular meeting Tuesday and Coun.

Laurie Walters said they knew it would mean losing revenue.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said the complex is not there to make money and he would like to see no junk food sold from machines in Williams Lake.

“The complex is

there to encourage good health,” Rathor said. “I have talked to numerous parents who are very delighted with what we’re providing to the children. All of us should try and consume healthy food wherever we go.”

The loss in revenue, however, is a cost to taxpayers because the loss has to be covered, Paynton said, whether that’s through tax revenue, cuts or savings somewhere else.

The complex does receive monthly rent from the canteen and is presently in the middle of a five-year contract with Karen’s Place to run the canteen.

“They do a really good job,” Paynton said of Karen’s Place.

“They do have the junk food but they do provide salads and healthy alternatives. That was in their agreement with us to provide those as well.”

Ever hopeful the pendulum will swing and one day healthy food will be the number one choice for everyone, Paynton suggested the complex is in the business of promoting a healthy lifestyle.

“Junk food isn’t part of promoting that,” he said.

Pinettes ski to Canadian gold Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake was well represented last week at the Canadian National Waterskiing Championships in Calgary.

The father, son duo of Williams Lake’s Parnell and Conley Pinette both skied away from the event as national champions.

Just one week prior, Aug. 3-4, Conley, 13, won all three of his events — slalom, trick and jump — at the Western Canadian Waterskiing Championships in Abbotsford.

At nationals Conley skied in both the Men’s Open division in tricks and in the Boys 3 division in slalom, trick and jump.

Conley qualified to ski in the men’s open trick division, open to all ages of competitors, based on his scores from throughout the season.

There, in trick and as the youngest competitor by far,

Parnell Pinette (middle) stands with his gold medal after winning the overall gold medal in the men’s 3 division.

Conley achieved a bronze medal.

In his regular Boys 3 division Conley skied to a personal best

of five buoys at 32 feet off in slalom to win a gold medal, beating 10 other skiers from across Canada who qualified. In trick

Conley amassed 5,800 points to win the gold medal, and in jump Conley flew 119 feet to also win gold. For his efforts Conley was also named the overall gold medalist in Boys 3.

Parnell, meanwhile, kept the family’s winning ways intact.

Parnell won a gold medal in jump after sailing 137 feet and won a gold medal in trick with 1,950 points.

In slalom Parnell achieved a three buoys at 32 feet off, coming in fifth out of 14 skiers in the men’s 3 slalom division.

As a result Parnell, too, was awarded the overall gold medal in the men’s 3 division.

Additionally, Conley was named to the Canadian under-17 team for the Can Am Challenge in St. Louis over the September long weekend.

Conley has attended the competition as a junior the last three years, but said he is extremely happy to be chosen for the under-17 team.

The Kidney Foundation will host its annual Kidney Walk in Williams Lake Sunday, Aug. 25.

The walk will start in Boitanio Park at 9 a.m. The Kidney Walk raises funds for critical programs and services for British Columbians affected by kidney disease.

Hoyer races to eighth overall at motocross nationals Williams Lake pro motocross rider Brock Hoyer will be slapping a No. 8 on the front of his Yamaha to kick off next year’s race season.

That’s because the 26-year-old Williams Lake native finished eighth overall at the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals, which wrapped up Sunday at the Walton Raceway in Walton, Ont. “That was my goal going out when I started the series, to finish top 10 and come home with a single-digit number,” Hoyer said.

“It’s pretty sweet to be ranked in the top 10 ­best in Canada. There are even four or five Americans in our top 10.”

The Monster Energy Motocross Nationals consisted of a series of nine races beginning in June spanning from Western to Eastern Canada.

The series started in the west with races in Nanaimo and Kamloops, followed by

events shifting east to Calgary, Edmonton, Courtland, Ont., Richmond, Ont., Deschambault, Que. and Moncton, N.B. This year’s Monster Energy Motocross Nationals marked the sixth kick at the can for Hoyer who, in past years, had decided to not continue on with the eastern races of the series.

It was his best overall result since turning pro.

Hoyer chalked up his result to experience.

“People always think as you get older you start weaning away from the sport,” he said.

“When you get older I think the smarter you ride, and have fun.

“This year it’s been just to have fun — the grassroots stuff. I still put pressure on myself and still get nervous but it’s to go have fun and not beat yourself up and make every race count.”

Hoyer said he’s had a phenomenal support system in place this year which helped him afford the cost of travelling east for the series.

“I always believe in surrounding yourself with good people and good things happen,”

he said. “I’ve got a lot of these people around me and the positive feedback they give makes it fun and enjoyable to keep going and have the energy to do it.

“Financially I can’t thank Spectra Power Sports and Yamaha Motors Canada enough — those guys have been dream makers for me. But it’s not just one company — they’ve all done a really good job and that’s why I was able to do the eastern series.”

Canucks prospects set for Young Stars Classic Sept. 5-9 Emanuel Sequeira Special to The Tribune Hunter Shinkaruk will have a different view of the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Classic held Sept. 5-9 at Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre.

During its first two years, the Calgary resident watched what was initially called the Canucks Young Stars Tournament on TV. This year, he will be on the ice as a prospect of the Vancouver Canucks. The Medicine Hat Tigers forward was the Canucks second pick, 24th overall in the first round of the 2013 NHL Draft. He would love nothing more than to join the likes of Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Cam Fowler, Mikael Backlund and the Canucks’ Chris Tanev, who starred in the tournament and moved on to the NHL. Since the tournament’s inception in 2010, 30 players have advanced to the NHL. “I want to show the Canucks organization that I can be a really high-level player at that tournament heading into camp,” Shinkaruk said. “It’s an opportunity to show them that they drafted the right kid.”

Shinkaruk, who scored 100 goals and added 119 assists in 193 Western Hockey League games, is taking an approach of showing the Canucks he can earn a roster spot. He wants to be the best player on the ice every shift. The Tigers captain said he’s looking forward to putting on the Canucks jersey for the first time.

Shinkaruk will be joined by fellow Canucks 2013 draft picks Bo Horvat, who was chosen ninth overall in the first round, Cole Cassels, 85th overall, Jordan Subban, 115th overall and Miles Liberati, chosen 205th overall.

Dave Gagner, director of player development for the Canucks, said what scouts like about the event is that it gives them a chance to see the players in a competitive nature.

“It’s easier to see their skillset when they

are in that type of an environment,” Gagner said. “You get to see the hockey sense and the compete level. It’s a good first opportunity for a lot of these guys to make an impression.”

Gagner added the Canucks Young Stars Classic provides exposure for the players, especially if some teams don’t have spots for them there might be another that does.

“Matt Fraser comes to mind,” Gagner said.

“We weren’t able to sign him a couple years ago and Dallas went ahead and signed him because of what he showed at that tournament.”

Gagner said the competition is intense and teams see the character the players have.

“I think in a competitive nature some guys that maybe don’t excel in skill drills or whatever in practice can really show what they are made of in games,” he said.

Gagner said the Canucks Young Stars Classic will be entertaining because fans will get exposure to high draft picks. The players, after all, are competing for jobs, Gagner said, adding he always finds it interesting to see if players can find another level when they are challenged.

“I can remember (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins going two years ago,” Gagner said. “You could see right away the special skill that he had.

He was drafted first overall, but when they get in that first pro environment it’s really neat to see those kids adjust so quickly. I think for people in attendance there is going to be a lot of interesting players to see. It’s very much worth coming to see.”

Gagner is excited to see Horvat and Shinkaruk and said he is curious to see how close they are to playing for the Canucks. He said some players can come out and make that adjustment right away.

“Bo Horvat has a really mature game already for an 18-yearold,” said Gagner, who played 33 games for the Canucks in 1999, and 946 total during a 15-year career. “He un-

Bighorn sheep featured in documentary Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Many who make the trek to Farwell Canyon keep an eye out for the California big horned sheep that live in the area.

Robert Moberg, a filmmaker, said he saw those sheep and got to thinking.

“I would go out to Farwell Canyon for a little hike, and after being in Alberta especially, it was like, ‘Wow. This is really nice.’ I kept thinking there must be something here for me. There must be some kind of story,” he said.

What he discovered surprised him. The population of sheep in the area was once used as a source herd to reintroduce wild sheep into different spots in the U.S. where the sheep had been extirpated.

Now, however, the sheep herd appears to be declining.

“There was the crux of the story,” he said. “Why the sheep are declining, their habitat and if there is anything that can be done about it.”

What followed was the beginnings of an idea for a documentary film.

Moberg has made films before.

His feature film, The Plateau, which he showed in Williams Lake in 2010, followed the story of a young man who is stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash, and how he deals with the isolation and later intrigue that follows. He also has a business making corporate and aviation safety films.

Today he is about half way through making his documentary, Bighorns at the Junction, about the California big horned sheep at Junction Sheep Range Provincial Park.

The park is located at the junction of the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers and was originally a wildlife reserve established to protect the bighorn sheep and the grasslands.

Grasslands such as these cover only 1 per cent of the land in the province, but are home to 33 per cent of B.C.’s endangered species according to the Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia. That is one of the reasons Moberg found the area so captivating. Aside from the sheep, he has become interested in the amount of species that live there, including everything from black widows, to rubber boas, to American badgers to long billed curlews.

Robert Moberg has special permission from BC Parks to camp at Sheep Junction park in his quest to film and document declining sheep populations.

Performances in the Park continues this week on Thursday, Aug. 22, with the final performance in the park lineup of the summer.

Featured this week will be Rowan, Kylie and Sam — a trio originally from Williams Lake singing covers and original tunes — and My Wife’s Quartet — an experienced and talented group of musicians.

Performances in the park gets underway at 6 p.m. with Rowan, Kylie and Sam. My Wife’s Quartet hits the stage at 7 p.m. in Boitanio Park.

he is still looking for.

“I find it a fascinating area.

It’s almost under-utilized really.

There’s nobody ever out there,” he said.

As part of the filming process, Moberg spends some of his time hiking in and camping around the junction, something he has received special permission for from B.C. Parks. Normally, camping is restricted in the park.

During that time he’s learned

some lessons about trying to film in the desert-like conditions.

“It’s hard work carrying a camera, a backpack and 10 water bottles. It’s crazy. I learned the hard way,” he said. “In May we had that heat wave and I had a very difficult trek. I had to stop and recoup for about an hour before I could make it back to my vehicle. It was really bad, it was really hot, so just be aware when its hot out there you have to carry lots of water.”

While he is out exploring he keeps his eye on a herd of ewes in an “undisclosed location” near Farwell Canyon.

“I am trying to watch a little herd of ewes, about 17 of them.

I’m keeping track of them and early in the season they had 13 lambs, which is a really high recruitment level,” he said.

See SHEEP Page A15

The Kidney Foundation will host its annual Kidney Walk in Williams Lake Sunday, Aug. 25.

The walk will start in Boitanio Park at 9 a.m. The Kidney Walk raises funds for critical programs and services for British Columbians affected by kidney disease. Thousands of volunteers and participants in 20 B.C. communities participate in Kidney Walks each year. The events feature live entertainment, prizes, fundraising barbecues, silent auctions and more.

Kidney disease is a serious disease that has no cure. It is a disease that is both underrecognized and undetectable in its early stages.

Cariboo Senior Carollers looking for pianist Win Gooding Special to The Tribune Are you enjoying the long awaited summer we’re now experiencing?

I find that doing our necessary chores and shopping in the morning makes life more bearable.

The Seniors’ Centre is not as busy these days so do drop in for lunch if you’re out in the morning and enjoy their tasty lunch in an air-conditioned environment.

It has been brought to my attention that the Cariboo Senior Carollers are still in need of an accompanist for their choir to continue at the centre.

They meet once a week on Fridays from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

The Senior Carollers have a long history in Williams Lake.

They first started up in 1985 under the direction of Marty Simon.

In April 1987 they held their first fundraising event to build our much-needed Seniors’ Activity Centre.

In 1989 they took part in the homecoming event to celebrate the city’s 60th birthday.

It turned out to be a huge success with dozens of seniors returning home to join in the celebrations taking place.

The chair also took part in the original Variety Club Telethon held at the Legion in 1990.

They continued to support the telethons for many years.

That same year they entered a float in the Stampede Parade for the Seniors’ Centre. In 1991 they participated in a concert at city hall and also sang at a Christmas party held at the Overlander (Ramada) Hotel.

For many years they entertained for seniors

at the Cariboo Lodge, Sunset Manor and Deni House. They still continue to sing at Deni House since they reopened. They have also faithfully entertained at the OAPO Christmas parties since 1997.

That same year they performed at the Rotary Christmas concert and have participated in the Hospice Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony every year since 1997.

For the city’s 75th anniversary they held a celebration of 100 years of music covering in 1900s Jean Giesbrecht was their accompanist at that time.

The choir won a first at the Cariboo Music Festival in April 2007 for choirs.

They’ve taken part in the Parade of Choirs sponsored by the Hough Memorial Cancer Society each year along with Cari-

Tribune file photo

The Cariboo Senior Carollers perform during a past Memory Tree Celebration at City Hall. boo Men’s Choir and 100 Mile House Choir.

With their long history of supporting so many worthy causes over the past 30 years for the community it

would be a tremendous loss for them not to be able to carry on.

Marty Simon retired as director two years ago and her replacement Georgina

Lazzarotto has moved away this summer.

In the meantime Sherry Taylor has volunteered to become the director of the choir.

However, they are

still in need of a pianist to carry on in the fall.

If there is anyone interested in that position please phone Pat Cassidy at 250-3924236.

Williams Lake resident celebrates 99th birthday Tara Sprickerhoff Special to The Tribune Jean Montgomery (sitting) turned 99 this past Wednesday, Aug. 14.

Friends at the Seniors Centre where she volunteered for many years, celebrated her birthday —one of many celebrations during the week for Montgomery.

Her friends say “she loves to party.”

Montgomery moved to the area from Manitoba in 1946, to Hydraulic, near Likely, where she met and soon married her late husband Joe Prior.

Of turning 99, Montgomery says merely, “It feels okay.

I’ve slowed down quite a bit.”

Her friends scoff at this.

“She’s in better health than some of the rest of us,” says her friend Kay Mellish.

Montgomery still lives independently, in an apartment where the bathroom is up a flight of stairs and the laundry is down a flight of stairs.

“She’s been an inspiration to the rest of us to not complain about going up some stairs,” says Mellish.

Jean Montgomery (seated) celebrated her 99th birthday last week with friends at the Williams Lake Seniors Centre.

Sheep documentary coming to WL Continued From Page A13 “If the majority of those lambs survive in that group we’re doing pretty good.”

Unfortunately, he said, a number of them are likely to die off for a majority of reasons.

Some of those reasons are what he is researching — finding out more about sheep decline in the area.

“There are factors like loss of habitat, wild sheep and domestic sheep disease transmission, wolves; predation from cougars is a big problem in a lot of areas, and possibly even poaching could be playing into it,” he said.

For the film, Moberg has been completing interviews with a number of individuals, both local and international.

He attended a wild sheep conference in Kelowna, and has interviewed experts in wildlife disease research.

In the future he has plans to talk to Chris Harris, as well as participate in a dip netting demonstration with local First Nations in the area. Moberg estimates he is about half way through the process of making his film. He started last December, and is hoping to catch all four seasons in the area.

Although he received a Canada Council

grant for his last film, this documentary will be privately funded.

There are five local funding partners for the film, and he has also been funded by the WIld Sheep Foundation in the United States.

Originally from Williams Lake, Moberg recently relocated back to the city from Edmonton, where he had been based.

His interest in filming came from when he worked as an extra in Macgyver and Wise Guy. Later he took acting classes and workshops, and his passion built from there.

When his documentary is finished he plans on screening it here in Williams Lake, as well as send copies to the different Sheep Foundation chapters.

Furthermore, he hopes to show the film at different environmental and conservation-oriented film festivals and have the documentary broadcast, but said plans for that are currently in the works.

In the meantime Moberg continues to keep an eye on the sheep, and all the while they keep an eye on him.

“Sheep are different from other herbivores,” he said, “They watch you. They can see you even from 100 miles away.”

Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Williams Lake Tribune

Jam makers unite at Community Kitchen Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer The Salvation Amy really put the “community” into their Community Kitchen program in July.

Jam making was the topic of the week, and 10 women from around the community came together to share and to learn how to make jam. Of these women only two had ever made jam before.

“The idea is to teach people how easy it is to make,” said Salvation Army Captain Claudine Kadonaga.

In some sections of the kitchen women of all ages patiently waited for their fruit mixture to boil, in other sections people chopped fruit, elsewhere it was time to add sugar.

Overtop the normal

noises that come from making jam could be heard conversation and laughter.

“Community Kitchen is people coming together and teaching each other,” said Kadonaga, who for future preserving sessions hopes to bring in seniors to teach younger generations.

Participants were asked to bring their own sugar and jars to the jam making session, but all of the fruit (in this case, strawberry, rhubarb and blueberry) was provided by the Salvation Army.

Jam making was the first of many sessions in preserving that the Salvation Army hopes to provide as part of the Community Kitchen program, which also includes lessons in Cooking Out of the Box and special inter-

est classes.

Those who want to participate are en-

couraged to stop by the Salvation Army to register and find out

what is being made this week and what they need to bring.

Other preserving classes will teach participants to make

pickles, fruit leather, and beef jerky among other foods.
