HELP THE CITY SAVE WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT WITH THE LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM Many homes in Williams Lake are equipped with older toilets, dishwashers or clothes washers that require more water to operate. New low flow toilets and appliances require much less water while doing the same function.

By replacing your old toilet and appliances, you could use up to one-third less water! That could save the average household more than 300 liters per day, or 100,000 liters per year.

The City is offering a MAXIMUM of two rebates per residential unit per year.

1. Toilets using 4.8 liters or less, with a Maximum Performance (MaP) Tested approved new low flow fixture. Visit website www.cwwa.ca/freepub_e.asp to view.

2. Dishwashers that are on the approved list on the City’s website.

3. Clothes washers that are on the approved list on the City’s website.

WHY HAS THE CITY INITIATED THIS LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE PROGRAM? The City of Williams Lake wants to reduce the amount of water consumed as well as the amount of water flowing into the sanitary sewer system. It costs money to treat the water coming in and going out of your house. Using less water saves both money and the environment for everyone who lives in and around the Cariboo.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE REBATE?

This offer is only for owners of residential units that are connected to the City of Williams Lake’s Water and Sewer system. There is a YEARLY limit of two toilets/appliance rebates per residential unit.

Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit.

NEW CONSTRUCTION

For new construction in the City of Williams Lake, all plumbing must adhere to the BC Plumbing codes. However, the City is providing rebates for those

JOIN US ONLINE!

property owners or contractors who choose to install MaP approved Dual Flush toilets (3/4.8L) and 3 liter fixtures instead of the minimum code requirement for toilet installation. There is no maximum for this incentive.

WHAT ABOUT MY OLD TOILET OR APPLIANCE?

Your old toilet or appliance must be disposed of at the City of Williams Lake’s Municipal Worksyard at 555 N Second Avenue. You must have a copy of the approved Rebate Form with you when the fixture is dropped off. The form must be signed by a City representative.

WHAT DO I NEED TO APPLY FOR THE REBATE PROGRAM?

1. Pick up an application form at City Hall, Development Services, 450 Mart Street. Fill it in and return to City Hall.

2. Provide a receipt for the purchase of an approved low flow fixture.

3. Provide proof of installation of a low flow toilet or appliance and proof that the old toilet or appliance has been brought to the Municipal Worksyard. This is achieved by: • An inspection of the newly installed toilet in place by a City Representative.

• A signed copy of the application form proving the old unit was dropped off at the Municipal Worksyard located at 555 North Second Avenue.

4. You must agree to permit the representative of the City of Williams Lake access to inspect the installation.

Simple toilet replacements do not require a plumbing permit. However, if you are also renovating, you must apply for a building permit.

City staff will review your application and, if you qualify, the City of Williams Lake will mail you a cheque for each eligible low flow toilet or appliance (up to two rebates per residential dwelling per year).

This program is on a first come first serve basis. Your application must be approved by the Development Services Coordinator prior to purchasing a low flow toilet to guarantee a rebate.

Quesnel Lake impacts unknown following tailings breach Continued From Page A1 In the short term, the breach has forced an immediate and entire water ban for residents and livestock in the affected area which earlier included Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Cariboo Creek, and now also includes the entire Quesnel and Cariboo river systems right up to the Fraser River.

In the long-term, however, many are worried the spill could have lasting impacts on fish and water quality in the pristine wilderness area.

Imperial Metals Corporations issued a statement about the disaster Tuesday, stating the tailings dam breach had stabilized and that they are working closely with provincial ministries, local agencies and emergency response officials.

“Our first priority is the health and safety of our employees and neighbours, and we are relieved no loss of life or injury have been reported. We are deeply concerned and are working to mitigate immediate effects and understand the cause,” stated the company, noting exact quantities of water and tailings discharged have yet to be determined.

The company further stated the cause of the breach is unknown and that the mine has been placed on care and maintenance, with no estimate of how long it will take to restore

Creek on Aug. 4 indicated solids were settling rapidly,” Kynoch stated.

Kynoch said the breach released approximately 10 million cubic metres of water into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake, adding the company is now working with the Ministries of Forests and Environment to mobilize crews and equipment to collect and remove floating debris from Quesnel Lake.

“Polley Lake rose approximately 1.5 metres above normal height and steps are being taken to pump excess water into the Springer Pit to start dropping the water level back to normal.

Likely residents fear worst after mine disaster Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor A pall of uncertainty hangs over Likely as a total breach in the Mount Polley tailings pond continued (Monday) to pour a slurry of toxic water and mud into Quesnel Lake, once renowned for being the cleanest deep water lake in the world.

In the early hours of August 4, the four-kilometre-long dam containing the tailings pond of the copper and gold mine burst, sending millions of tons of contaminated water, mud and mining slurry into the salmonbearing water system.

Surpentine Creek, previously a stream two metres wide, is now a wasteland 50 metres across, after five million cubic metres of effluent flooded into nearby Polley Lake and carved its own canyon several kilometres in length to Quesnel Lake.

Eye-witnesses to the devastation, Stan and Rosanne Siemens of Quesnel, were boating on the East Arm of Quesnel Lake. When they turned the corner on their way back to Likely they could

hardly believe their eyes.

A mile down the lake a floating mass of twisted trees stretched half way across the lake.

“It’s rude up there,” Stan Siemens says. “Half way across the lake trees were sticking straight up.

I’m a logger and it would take us a year to take that many trees down, and this happened in 20 minutes.”

The land is destroyed, Rosanne Siemens adds.

“Raft Creek is a river now. It’s all mud.”

A toxic plume continues to build in the lake and move down the outflow into the Quesnel River at Likely. Before

nightfall the water advi-

sory for Likely had been expanded for the whole Quesnel River system to the City of Quesnel on the Fraser River.

Robin Hood, president of the Likely Chamber of Commerce, is grim as his wife, Darlene, hands out water advisory notices to people recreating on the shore of the river.

“The whole economy of this town (Likely) is dependent on the mine and tourism,” Hood says.

“Now we might have lost both overnight.”

Sitting in the shade on the porch of Likely’s general store, 28-yearold Kalvin King is checking the Internet on his smartphone.

He’s from Horsefly but has a placer claim above Quesnel Forks. He’s been working four days and was going to jump in the lake and go for a swim before he got the water advisory.

“I haven’t had a shower for four days so I’m pretty hot,” says Kalvin, who describes himself as a guy who’s not very concerned about anything.

“I’ve worked at both Mount Polley and Gibraltar so I know what stuff is in the tailings ponds. It’s there for a good reason and it’s supposed to stay there and not leave. It’s an environmental disaster.”

He says he’ll probably

his shower.

Placer miner, Chris Fournier, 45, pulls up to the gas pumps of the store in his quad ATV. He lives down river from the townsite and washed his face in the river and had a drink before he heard of the breach and the water advisory.

“It tasted like sucking pennies,” he said.

He was fishing for Chinook salmon the day before in the Cariboo River and is worried about the effect on the various salmon runs making their way up the Fraser River.

He said workers at Mount Polley Mine warned him that the tailings pond was going to breach. “And it did.”

Aileen Peterson, owner of Valley General Store in Likely for eight years, said the water level on Quesnel Lake behaved strangely.

“It went up and then down and few feet. We got a call at 6 a.m. that everybody had to take their boats out of the water.”

Robin Hood applauds the actions of Likely First Responders who woke him up at 5 a.m. and evacuated the Cedar Point Provincial Campsite over fears that the breach would cause a Tsunami.

“It’s better to err on the side of precaution,” he says.

For Likely pub owners Randy and Claudine Kadonaga, there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

“So far there are a lot of rumours,” says Randy.

“We’re waiting to see what happens.”

“We don’t have anything to say until we know more,” adds Claudine. “We opened early on Monday and served a lot of breakfasts when they evacuated Cedar Point Park.”

Waiting in the balance is the plight of 500 employees of Mount Polley Mine.

Jamie Regier, who works for Ducks Unlimited, took one last dip in Quesnel River with his three-year-old daughter, Lauren, before the toxic debris reached Likely.

“I’m pretty shocked,” he said. “The entire impact is going to ruin this town. I have a lot of friends at Mount Polley, and it’s going to be shut down.”

An employee of Mount Polly Mine who was on shift the night of the breach and asked to remain anonymous, confirmed you can’t operate a mine without a tailings pond facility.

“Thank God nobody was killed or injured. If that breach would have occurred during the day with all the contract workers in the area, it wouldn’t have been so good.”

Rick Matthews, a former Moorhouse Lake resident, boated down Quesnel Lake to view the debris pile on Monday.

He is worried that unless something is done, the mass of logs will get swept down the Quesnel River with devastating results.

“The floating island of logs is creeping towards Likely,” he says.

“There needs to be damage control or it will pile up against the bridge and could take it out.”

New proposals coming in teacher talks Tom Fletcher Black Press Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides.

Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion.

“We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.”

He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements.

If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate

parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout.

“My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said.

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from

the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support.

Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary

school teachers.

BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes.

opportunity for exercise, say organizers.

As in past years there will be a silent auction of art happening during the walk.

Numerous special arts and culture events are planned during Art Walk including a student walk, a bicycle tour of the walk, people’s choice award, busking.

Every year Art Walk attempts to find an extra special reason for people to do the walk other than to view the great art. This year the reason is another impressive grand prize, a necklace, handcrafted

Merry Minuet

Tour of breach site difficult to see first hand

M

onday was BC Day and most British Columbians probably took advantage of the good weather and enjoyed the holiday.

Monday was also the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War, the Great War that was to end all wars and make the world free for everyone forever.

No comment.

I liked it when Canada was respected as a peacekeeping nation. Now we are a buttinski nation that can’t keep its nose out of anyFrench thing the USA Connection is involved in.

Diana French What are we accomplishing with our war measures? Who is benefitting?

Certainly not the people who are on the front lines, nor the children on the Gaza strip. Certainly not our recent war veterans. Choosing sides in disputes can get in the way of truces, never mind peace (Israel/Palestine).

Besides, it’s hard to know which side to choose — who can we believe?

The Wonderful West isn’t always right, eg. the U.S. certainly mislead the world on Iraq.

The world situation reminds me of the Kingston Trio’s Merry Minuet. It was written half a century ago but the lyrics are eerily apt today.

Don’t have room for them all, but the song is a tongue-in-cheek poke at natural disasters plus the strife and unrest in a world that is “festering with unhappy souls.”

It ends with “But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud, for man’s been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud ... and we know for certain that some lovely day, someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.”

The last line is my favourite. “What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.” That’s possible given the state of world affairs. *** Wildfires in the Cariboo have been on my worry list this summer.

The Mount Polley tailings pond breach was totally unexpected. Let’s hope for the best in both regards.

Our Viewpoint

Respect, on two wheels or four A fear of death shouldn’t be what keeps people from choosing to ride a bicycle. But it might.

A cyclist was killed last week in Richmond. Last Thursday, another was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver on the Mary Hill Bypass in Port Coquitlam. In each case, it’s unclear what caused the collisions.

What is clear is the devastating results of a crash between a bicycle and a vehicle.

The roads are packed with vehicles, driven by motorists weighed down by a multitude of potential distractions. The Lower Mainland has been expanding its cycling infrastructure but it needs more work — lots more work.

But giving cyclists plenty of room on the road doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be safe from inattentive drivers.

An average of 150 cyclists are injured in B.C. every month during peak riding season of May to October, according to ICBC. We should all be encouraging more people to strap on helmets and take to the streets

on two wheels — it’s healthy for commuters and recreational riders, the environment and a congested region. But those statistics don’t do much for a would-be cyclist’s confidence.

Yes, cyclists must do their part. The insurance corporation advises them to never assume drivers can see them and to wear bright, reflective clothing, and use lights at night.

But how many times have you seen a motorist park in a bike lane? Fail to yield to a cyclist?

Nearly knock a rider over while passing?

It happens too often, and last week one rider lost their life and another was seriously hurt.

Drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times, use eye contact and hand signals. Moreover, we all need to make efforts to build greater respect between drivers and cyclists.

Whether on two wheels or four, that starts with every one of us.

arly in the morning on Monday August 4, a terrible and tragic incident occurred at the Mt. Polley Mine site. An estimated 10 million cubic metres of water and another 4.5 million cubic metres of fine sand were released into Polley Lake.

This incident is unquestionably MLA serious and that Musings is why we will be devoting all of the Donna Barnett necessary resources to assist local officials in their efforts to mitigate the impact of this tailings breach to impacted communities and the surrounding environment.

The Government of B.C. through the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Emergency Management BC are working around the clock with local authorities and Mt. Polley Mine executives to ensure a quick and effective response to the event.

We are still in the early stages, but until all environmental impact assessments have been conducted, please adhere to the water ban as issued by the Cariboo Regional District in Quesnel Lake, Cariboo Creek, Hazeltine Creek and Polley Lake area including the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers’ right into the Fraser.

On Tuesday, I conducted a tour of the breach site along with fellow Cariboo MLA Coralee Oakes. There is no doubt that it was incredibly difficult to see first hand what has occurred at the site. This event should have never of happened and we will determine the cause of the breach and prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

As the situation is changing rapidly, please contact the Cariboo Regional District public information line at 250-398-5581 or visit their website at cariboord.bc.ca.

As Ministry of Energy and Mines inspectors are at the mine site conducting investigations, and Ministry of Environment staff will continue to conduct water tests in our region the Government of B.C. will be providing updates and more information to the public as it becomes available.

Message to government rather than pay parents; improve classroom conditions Editor: The average North American family has two children.

How many British Columbian families fit this profile, with children under the age of 13, is anyone’s guess.

Forty dollars per diem, 20 school days per month, times two children, times however many students under the age of

13 equals big bucks.

The suggestion of Finance Minister Mike de Jong, to use teachers’ September payroll to compensate parents for possible missed school days, has a twofold purpose: to win over parents to the government side, especially in view of an upcoming election, and to demolish teachers’ attempts to improve learning conditions in the classroom, with

perhaps the added result of eliminating the BCTF. Has it not occurred to anyone in our illustrious government that a simpler solution would be to invest any surplus in improving classroom conditions, particularly class size and class composition?

TNG releases draft mining policy Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Tsilhqot’in National Government has asked for government, industry and public feedback on a draft mining policy it hopes will lead to more positive relationships with companies.

“Even though we will continue discussing this into September, from our perspective any companies that want to move forward with projects in our territory should be adhering to the policy already,” said Chief Joe Alphonse, TNG tribal chair, adding most companies are.

hope to minimize negative impacts, maximize benefits to Tsilhqot’in communities, build relationships with mining and exploration companies and clarify decision making responsibilities and priorities.

Impetus for the policy began back in 2010 when the TNG were going through environmental process for the proposed New Pros-

perity Mine, Alphonse recalled.

“We’d get to it and had limited resources and were finally able to get it to this stage,” he explained “We are not against mining if companies build a respectful relationship right from the start, and demonstrate that they can satisfy our cultural and environmental concerns.”

The Tsilhqot’in Nation recognizes the need to clarify how industry should be engaging with them as another level of government.

“While this policy opens our doors to more respectful relationships with industry, we also expect respect from industry for our sacred places like Teztan Biny.

The mining industry and the provincial government should have recognized long ago that the proposed Prosperity mine was a highly sensitive cultural and environmental area.

This recognition would have saved everyone decades of grief and wasted investments in money and time from shareholders and community stakeholders.”

Alphonse said there are dozens of mineral exploration projects in our territory and this policy will clarify for those proponents, government officials, and anyone else thinking of staking claims, that Tsilhqot’in laws remain in force in their territory, as they have since time immemorial.

Six communities make up the TNG and include ?Esdilagh, Yunesit’in, Tl’esqox, Tl’etinqox-t’in, Tsi Del Del and Xeni Gwet’in.

Each community will draw up its own agreements with companies and the community closest to any development would benefit the most, while the entire nation has input in the process, Alphonse explained.

Nature Conservancy acquires Poet Place Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer While Poet Place sounds like a romantic name for the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s latest purchase the 470-acre parcel land in B.C.’s West Chilcotin is actually named after Dick Poet who originally homesteaded there.

“Poet was a crop duster from the U.S.” said local author Sage Birchwater. “He came up from the U.S. in the 50s with his wife Helen to fly for Helen’s cousin Bob Stewart who had a lodge at Nimpo Lake.”

It’s the second stretch of two private parcels of land in the Klinaklini Valley the conservancy has purchased, said Peter Shaughnessy NCC project manager in the Chilcotin region.

There are three private parcels of land there and conservancy groups has always thought if all three could be protected it would leverage conservation on a much larger area, he explained.

In 2012, NCC bought its first of the three.

“We’ve been in operation in B.C. since 1988 and the first purchase in Tatlayoko was in 1999,” Shaughnessy said. “Each property gets a name. It’s the Tatlayoko Lake Ranch” Since then a total of 10 properties have been purchased in the Chilcotin by the NCC. Poet Place is amazing, Shaughnessy insisted.

“The thing about the Klinaklini Valley is spectacular, not only from a scenic point but from a natural values point of view, there’s lots of wildlife and fish.

The key point is it’s very much as it always has been.”

There’ve been minor amounts of activity there and the properties are there because people thought they could live there and make a living, but none of those attempts have worked for any amount of time, he explained.

“It’s a very roughedged place, hard to get in there, the weather and bugs are extreme.

When you see it you

can understand why people might try, but if you’ve been down there enough you realize why they eventually left,” he chuckled.

The property straddles the Klinaklini River and is jam-packed with wildlife.

There are grizzly bear, wolf, mule deer and bull trout, as well as giant old-growth aspen and cottonwood trees and the valley is also home to cougars, trumpeter swans, wolverines, otters and many other fur-bearing animals.

Shaughnessy has stood along the sandbar below the old homestead on a little patch of sand and seen grizzly bear, wolf, moose, deer, coyote and otter tracks.

“The sand is plastered with all these different animal tracks,” he said.

Two waterfalls bookend Poet Place and remnants of homesteading still stand, including a couple of cabins built over the years.

There’s accumulated “detritus” of people taking stuff in such as bed frames, old tractors, even shoes.

As a Canada-wide organization, NCC has worked for more than 50 years, primarily on private land, with the main method of conservation being to purchase significant private lands with high conservation values.

More than one million hectares have been protected in total across Canada to date.

All of the money NCC uses to purchase and take care of the properties forever is all through donations.

Primary sources of funds come from private foundations.

“Poet Place was purchased by the estate of Donald McGeachy,” Shaughnessy said.

“Donald briefly passed through the Klinaklini many years ago with his family and they were awestruck by this place and he so he created a foundation.”

The family McGeachy family approached NCC, asked if some conservation work could be done there, and purchased

both of the properties that have been purchased there so far.

“Donald was ahead of his time in recognizing that we Canadians need to be conservationists,” the McGeachy Family said. “During his life and upon his death, he gave generously to protect and preserve special properties in Canada.”

Poet’s Place will have unrestricted access, Shaughnessy said.

“We might put up a sign asking people to respect it, otherwise it will be unchanged.”

The property is located left off Highway 20 at Kleena Kleene but isn’t accessible by a vehicle.

People would have to have mountain bikes, quads or go in on foot.

“It’s a rough road that blows in frequently,” he said.

Agriculture minister updates chamber of commerce Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer B.C.’s agriculture minister Norm Letnick kicked off a three and a half-week consultation tour of the province in Williams Lake Thursday.

Letnick is hoping to gain feedback on Bill 24 regulations and how to improve the future of agriculture in the province, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said as she introduced him at the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce monthly lunch meeting at Sig-

nal Point.

“I’m getting out to talk to farmers and ranchers in the Cariboo for two days,” Letnick said.

“Next week I’ll be in the Kootenays.”

Three weeks ago Letnick was in China singing a deal for free access for B.C. cherries, which Letnick said will be a major contribution to the economy.

His ministry is also pursuing free access agreements for blueberries and blueberries will be inspected this year.

“All those blueberry crops that people have been planting, especially down in the Lower Mainland, will hopefully have free access too.”

Foreign markets only happen in the Far East because of relationships because there is so much competition, Letnick said.

The Australians, Americans and people from Europe are all pursuing those markets as well.

During the next

three years the goal for agriculture in the province is to reach $14 billion in sales, up from the present which is just over $12 billion, the minister explained.

“It’s important to expand the opportunities for British Columbians and we’re doing that in agriculture by expanding our markets,” Letnick suggested.

Bill 24 is amending the agriculture land commission and as part of the process of consultation on the regulations, the ministry has put a survey (http://fluidsurveys. com/s/BCGOV-ALCA/) on its website on July 22 containing 12 questions that invite public feedback until Aug. 22.

People who don’t have access to a computer can get a paper copy of the survey from their local MLA’s office.

Highlands Irrigation’s Dick Ford told Letnick he’d like to see the province develop agriculture land leases.

“Much of the growth of family development in agriculture comes from tenure on land,” Ford said.

“The most recent example I can think of here were the agricultural land leases that people took up years ago and had the opportunity to buy.”

As the forest industry declines, some Crown land could be made available to qualified young agricultural people to get tenure at a reasonable rate to develop, have a home and family life, and perhaps even adding something like a woodlot license to it, he suggested.

“It seems to me a lot of the development of the Interior economy in the last 30 and 40 years came out of those agricultural leases.”

It would be a great way to move the economy out of the cities, Ford added.

Letnick responded that the ALC is going through region by region in the province and identifying lands that should come out of the Agricultural Land Reserve and lands that should go in.

“I wasn’t here in 1972 when the ALR was created,” he said.

“It was a kind of big broad brush and over the years as people have applied to change the boundaries or remove parcels of land, not too many people put parcels of land in, that big brush is becoming a little more specific.”

Junior council members Monica Rawlek (left), Gagan Vaid and Hanna Hett encourage youth in the city to consider signing up for the council.

City’s junior council empowers youth Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Leadership skills, confidence and making a difference. These are some of the things youth who participated in Williams Lake’s junior council this last year said they experienced.

In fact, Grade 11 student Monica Rawlek intends to continue on the council.

“People our age might think it’s going to be scary or superficial, but we were always learning new things,” she said.

The council meets every second week after school with the city’s manager of social development Anne Burrill and city councillor Geoff Bourdon.

They also take turns attending committee of the whole (COW) meetings, where there’s a seat at the table for the youth to join in discussions, even though they cannot vote.

Monica said it was interesting to learn how council works.

Watching something go to the COW meeting table and then to regular council meetings.

Hanna Hett graduated this year so she won’t be returning to the council, however, she enjoyed serving a one-year term and felt she had a chance to make a difference.

“It also gives youth knowledge about current events in the city — things I would have never known about before,” Hanna said. “We also watched how council solves problems.”

Along with council member Gagan Vaid, who also graduated this year, Hanna co-ordinated Pay It Forward Day in Williams Lake this year.

They were responsible for planning and felt it made a difference.

“Outside of Safeway a man said, ‘there are actually nice people here,’” Hanna recalled.

Each year the new council participates in a leadership workshop with a fun trainer,

followed by a tour of all the city’s facilities.

For newcomers who don’t know each other, the workshop is always a great way to get to know everyone, the youth said.

After the training the group decides projects for the upcoming year and this year was a busy one.

Aside from Pay it Forward Day, Monica attended a City’s Fit For Children conference in Surrey, council members participated in the city’s 85th birthday celebration and two members co-ordinated a volunteer fair for students at Lake City Secondary’s Williams Lake campus.

“They learn how to plan a project, bring it to city council for approval, and then implement it, Burrill said.

It was also a big year for junior council politically because a resolution the group put forward at the North Central Local Government Association

urging the creation of a youth caucus was adopted and will go the Union of B.C. Municipalities in the fall.

“Junior council has actively effected change at a provincial level,” Burrill suggested.

City council has put out a call for interested youth to apply

by Aug. 13, and Hanna hopes youth will step forward.

They might think it’s boring, but it’s not, she said.

“I was really surprised at how much we got to decide. I want to thank Anne for backing us up, working for us and helping us out,” she smiled.

Membership on the council is open to students Grades 10 through 12. Terms are one year with a maximum of two terms and meetings are scheduled according to what works best for the group.

Other members of the council this year were Tanner Nickel, Rebekah Corbett and Brooklyn Thiessen.

Sean Glanville Staff Writer The Williams Lake Fire Department and Salvation Army held their fifth annual Christmas in July Food Drive last week.

“Last Tuesday we had three crews in pick-up trucks heading door to door all over town collecting food for the Salvation Army,” said Rob Warnock, WLFD Deputy Chief.

The community once again came through with flying colours as dozens of boxes of food were collected which will

go towards filling the shelves at the Salvation Army.

“Our shelves were at an all time low so it was the perfect time for the event. We are very pleased with the amount of food collected and will use this to restock our shelves,” said Sabrina Silvey, Salvation Army family servicers coordinator.

A number of businesses chipped in as well as Barton Insurance hosted their own food drive and filled up half a truck load and Save On Foods donated 12 boxes of tomato soup.

Of the five food drives held so far, Warnock claims this was likely the biggest or one of the biggest.

Many people in the community who the Fire Department were not able to reach their residences on Tuesday night also took it upon themselves to drop off boxes of food at the Salvation Army.

“The houses that we missed we asked if they would please drop off their items at the Salvation Army and we ended up filling more than 20 additional boxes,” added Silvey.

Phyllis Webstad with her family at the first-ever Orange Shirt Day held in Williams Lake in September 2013.

Orange Shirt Day goes national Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Orange Shirt Day is going national.

Last year the firstever Orange Shirt Day, Every Child Matters events took place in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House, inspired by a memory shared by Phyllis Webstad.

Webstad, originally from Canoe Creek, attended St. Joseph Mission residential school for a year when she was six.

When she arrived for her first day of school, the brand new orange shirt her grandmother

had bought her to wear to school, was taken away.

Even though she only stayed at the school one year, the colour orange always brought back memories.

During the Truth and Reconcilation Hearings and the St. Joseph Residential School Commemorative Project which took place in May of 2013, Webstad’s story took on a life of its own and with help of local government a communitywide celebration was held.

At the Assembly of First Nations (AFN)

Chiefs Assembly in Halifax, N.S. last week, delegates passed a resolution supporting Sept.

30 as Orange Shirt Day across Canada.

It was resolved that Chiefs-in-Assembly declare the day annually, commit to brining the message home and doing their part to raise awareness behind the essence and meaning of Orange Shirt Day. The resolution also directed the AFN executive to promote and uphold the meaning of Orange Shirt Day, Every Child Matters and pass along the message to the Canadian gov-

ernment and churches responsible.

Canadians will be asked to listen with open hearts to the stories of survivors and those affected by residential school to fully comprehend each other.

This is a first step in reconciliation.

Tk’emllups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson moved the resolution seconded by Chief Maureen Chapman from Skawahlook Band Sto:lo, Agassiz.

Point Blank kicks off Thursday concert Point Blank, a new exciting duo that plays the best of blues and rock covers on acoustic versions, will kick off Performances in the Park Thursday evening.

Peter Thorne has more than 35 years in the music industry, from recording and producing music in many, many bands from blues, to rock and roll and country, says event organizer Angela Sommer.

He also makes custom box guitars. Shayne Cowic has been a lead singer and guitar player in local bands for more than years. Influences from ZZ Top to the Beatles have shaped his styles. Point Blank is on stage in Boitanio Park, Thursday, Aug. 7 starting at 6 p.m.

Sommer says the second act starting at 7 p.m. is Genevieve

Chatwick of Australia who sings blues, roots, folk, and world beat music.

She is joined by Canadian Faye Blais. Imagine if Janis Joplin and John Lee Hooker had a baby together; musically, this girl would be the offspring of that union.

She looks like an angel, roars like a lion and plays guitar like a demon!

Without doubt, Genevieve Chatwick is an extraordinary performer who exudes raw energy by the bucket load.

The Waterwise Brigade and Laura Patterson are providing children’s activities and Arty the Art Walker is putting up a display about the 2014 Art Walk and Sale.

Cody’s Bannock, Smashin’ Smoothies, M&M Meats and Taylor Made Cakes will

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key?

The black key limits horsepower to 500.

Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…

This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.

But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic.

Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode.

Electronic intervention is minimal. I

have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Raceway. I’d say this will be a heavenly day.

With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on.

According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more.

Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard

on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving.

Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause.

A lot.

But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger.

When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits It’s the most were posted at 35 mph, powerful production I was impressed with Chrysler V8, as well its road manners. And considering I had almost as most powerful 485 horsepower (with production muscle the 6.4L engine), it was car to date, so it as docile as a lethargic needs to be treated lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity with respect. presented itself.

Stagecoach robberies on wagon road Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor

For more than 50 years, from 1863 until 1917, the red and yellow B.C. Express Company’s stagecoaches transported mail, express, and passengers from Yale to Barkerville, an 800 mile return trip.

The company was founded by Francis Jones Barnard, and at first was called the Barnard Express, or BX as it was known to three generations of Cariboo residents. In the early 1860s Barnard began carrying letters on foot from New Westminster to the Cariboo goldfields.

Gradually, he earned enough money to purchase some horses and start a pony express.

By late 1863, he had established a regular stagecoach service, from Yale up to Soda Creek.

With the completion of the CPR Railway in 1886, however, the new community of Ashcroft became the major southern terminus of the stagecoach route. To those of us who grew up on a diet of western movies, the term “stagecoach” brings to mind images of masked men on horses waiting in Ambush, holding up terrified passengers and galloping off with sacks of gold.

However, during its decades of service, the BX, which was considered one of the most prominent stagecoach lines in North America, built up an outstanding reputation for reliability and service.

It saw remarkably few holdups, even though it carried literally tons of gold. in 1866 for example, the New Westminster newspaper reported that the BX made 80 return trips to Barkerville from Yale and carried a total of $4,619,000. worth of treasure and valuables.

At first, a mounted provincial policeman rode with each stage as an escort during the months when the heaviest gold shipments were made.

This did not prove to be an effective use of the police officer’s time, so the company took on the responsibility and hired armed men to “ride shotgun and guard the valuables. However, after a few years, even this practice was discontinued because it was consid-

ered to be an unnecessary expense. After that, the drivers were on their own, although most of them were always heavily armed.

In researching this article, I could find information on only five robberies over the life of the B.C. EXpress Co’s stagecoach era.

The first holdup occurred in 1885 near 85 Mile, where two highway men made off with $4,000 in gold.

A few years later, another robbery took place between Soda Creek and Quesnel.

Those thieves got away with approximately $2,000. In both of these instances the criminals were never apprehended, and the gold was never found. These were the only two successful holdups in the company’s history. A much larger robbery occurred in July of 1890 at the bottom of the Bridge Creek Hill near 100 Mile House.

The robber got away with more than $15,000 in gold. A few weeks later a man named Martin van Buren Rowlands arrived in Ashcroft, saying that he had struck it rich at Scotty’s Creek, some 19 miles to the north.

This news started a mini gold stampede to the area, but strangely, nobody else found any

gold there.

Lowlands continued to bring gold from his find into Ashcroft, spending it very freely, mainly in saloons and on gambling. The authorities became suspicious.

They obtained some of the gold and had it examined. It was found to be an exact match to the type of gold stolen from the stage Bridge Creek. What Rowlands did not realize was that gold from each individual creek is different, with its own unique properties, and that people with experience could identify the creek and the area it came from just by examining the gold.

Rowlands was arrested. He confessed to the robbery and was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary at New Westminster.

Somehow, he managed to escape after being there for two years, and he was never seen again.

In June of 1894, a rough character named Red Bluff Charlie held up the stagecoach at 150 Mile House and escaped with the meagre total of $45 in gold dust. He was captured the next day on the road to Dog Creek. Two weeks later he appeared before Judge Clement Cornwall and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He did not escape.

Don’t you wish that our present day justice system worked as well ad as quickly as this?

The last holdup, which happened in November, 1909, is also reputed to be the last holdup of an overland stagecoach on the North American continent.

This one took place between 141 Mile and 144 Mile on the Cariboo Road. A man and woman stopped the stage at rifle

point and demanded all the registered mail sacks from 150 Mile and points north. The driver, Charles Westoby, who was quite deaf, pretended that he couldn’t understand their instructions. In the confusion, he managed to keep bak some of the full sacks and substitute them for empty ones, so that the thieves got away with only about $2,000.

(One of the sacks that Westoby hid contained more than $5,000 in currency from the bank in Quesnel).

The stage was then ordered to drive on, and it made good time to 134 Mile House, where word was telegraphed up and down the line and the police were notified.

A posse of BX employees, ranchers and police proceeded to the scene of the crime.

There they found the mail sacks in the bush, all cut open and all currency removed.

The couple’s horses were tracked for several miles, until they mingled with the tracks of some wild horses and the trail was lost.

However, the “moccasin telegraph” was very active, and after a process of careful elimination and checking, the authorities finally decided that the culprits were a woman and a man whom she claimed was her brother-in-law.

They had been living in the 150 Mile area for only a few weeks. The pair were quickly arrested, but no money was found.

However, the prisoners were taken to Ashcroft., put on a train, and told to get out and stay out of Canada.

Arnie Zimmerman Special to Tribune/Advisor For over 85 years the hall has served as the largest, most-used, most-loved gathering place in the history of the City of Williams Lake and district.

A lot of people have many warm memories of special times at the hall.

The Elks Hall is used for many functions.

The Sea Cadets use it for their training programs.

The Good Food Box uses the hall to sell their food. No charge to them.

The Elks will be celebrating their 85th anniversary in October of this year.

Many other community events are held in the hall each year such as craft fairs and Stampede fundraisers and special events, dances and activities for youth such as cadets. during that time the Elks and Royal Purple have donated thousands of dollars to people in need in our community.

The Elks and Royal Purple have given thousands of dollars in bursaries to students wanting to further their education and pursue their dreams.

The Williams Elks Lodge was founded in Williams Lake in 1930.

The impact these dedicated men and women have had on

virtually everyone in Williams Lake is a matter of record.

Through the volunteer efforts over the decades, they have raised more than $1 million dollars

through bingos, bake sales, catering, and hall rentals for charities.

The roof repairs done in 2008, set us back financially, leaving us with a debt of

$110,000.

It is very difficult for us to pay off this debt.

Stagecoaches on display Continued From Page A18

The Ashcroft newspaper noted that “They were undoubtedly guilty and were obviously relieved to get off so lightly.”

In all, the B.C.

Express stagecoaches carried tens of millions of dollars in gold from the creeks of the Cariboo to Yale and Ashcroft.

They were a familiar sight on the Wagon Road, but by the end of the First World War

they had been relegated to history, replaced by big Winton touring cars. Only two original BX stagecoaches remain, one at the Hat Creek Ranch and the other on display at the Red Coach Inn at 100 Mile House.

We need to get rid of this debt in order for us to survive.

We, the Williams Lake Elks and Royal Purple are hoping the community of Williams Lake will help us save our Elks hall.

For the past four years the Elks and Royal Purple have only been able to pay down the interest on our loan which puts us in danger of losing the hall and our current call for help from the public.

The only source of revenue we have is the rental of the Elks Hall and donations from the community. We are struggling to pay our bills with the rev-

Contingent to take national rugby stage Sean Glanville Staff Writer An unprecedented six Williams Lake rugby players have cracked roster spots on the BC Rugby provincial teams.

Carleigh Walters and twins Laura and Emma Pfliederer were all selected to the U-16 girls team, Sheridan Davis and Tasha Johnson to the U-18 girls team and Jaye Richards to the U-16 boys side.

All six will represent B.C. at the Rugby Canada National Championship Festival Aug. 4-10 at Calgary Rugby Park.

The U-16 and U-18 men’s and women’s nationals will be jointly held featuring teams from seven provinces including B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

The players had to attend provincial selection camps in the Lower Mainland. For the U-16 girls, it was their first time attending a provincial camp and they were a little nervous.

“Pretty much all the players are from Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland and we kept having to explain to our coach where Williams Lake was,” laughed Laura.

For Walters and the Pfliederer sisters, they had to make two trips south as the initial selection camp July 18-19 ran the same weekend as the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo so many players could not attend the initial tryouts.

“We had to drive down to a camp in Abbotsford and then a second tryout a week later in Delta which was a lot of driving,” said Emma.

“Having my sister and Carleigh there at the tryouts really helped and took away some of the nerves.”

Richards, 16, played for Team BC last year when B.C. hosted nationals at UBC and knows what to expect this time around.

He played with Team BC ‘B’ last year which finished third at nationals with Team BC ‘A’ winning gold. Richards who plays flank and 8-man, cracked the ‘A’ roster this year and expects a gold medal to be hanging around his neck this August.

“I try to bring leadership and physical strength to the team and I hope to continue improving my game and one day play for the

Williams Lake rugby players Jaye Richards (left to right), Tasha Johnson, Emma Pfleiderer and Laura Pfleiderer are four of the six lakecity athletes that have been selected to the BC Rugby provincial teams that will represent the province at the nationals in Calgary, Alta. Aug. 4-10.

Missing are Sheridan Davis and Carleigh Walters. national team,” said Richards.

Johnson also represented Team BC last year and the 17-year-old scrum-half, like Richards, made the jump from Team BC’s ‘B’ team to the top tier squad this time. Unfortunately, due to a stress fracture, Johnson is unable to take part in the nationals.

“Last year I played on the ‘B’ team and we finished fourth so it’s disappointing this time around I have to take time off due to injury,” said Johnson.

“When I play I try to really encourage togetherness and make sure the team feels like a family.”

Johnson hopes to be fully recovered for sevens rugby this fall as she enters her Grade 12 year at Williams Lake Secondary.

The players from the lakecity will not be carpooling to Cal-

gary next week as BC Rugby makes it a point to have all the teams do everything together.

The players all pay a $1,650 fee upfront to BC Rugby which covers their flights, kit, meals and accommodation.

“It’s nice because we travel as a team and don’t all drive on our own. We pay the fee and everything is taken care of,” said Richards.

Coincidentally, the Pfliederer sisters, Walters and Johnson all live in the 150 Mile House area.

There might be something in the water there that produces top level rugby players.

“It’s funny because when the bus stops at 150 Mile on the way back from a rugby trip almost everybody gets off,” said Laura.

All the rugby girls are multisport athletes who not only excel

at rugby. Johnson plays rep soccer and is also a roper and barrel racer which she took up growing up on her parents property, Stump Lake Ranch, at 153 Mile House.

The Pfliederer sisters both excel at basketball, soccer and volleyball and Davis and Walters are also avid soccer players.

All six players got their rugby careers started in Grade 8 at Williams Lake secondary.

They credit their coaches including Todd Pritchard, Tara Sherlock, Oren Caddy and Morley Wilson, as well as the Williams Lake Rustlers, Hytest Timber and many others for helping them achieve their success.

They all hope to take the sport as far as they can go and eventually go on to play national team or university rugby.

The BC Barrel Racers Provincial Finals will be held Aug. 29-31 in WIlliams Lake at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds. In 2013 the event awarded approximately $101,000 in prize money.

The youngest competitor was four, the oldest was 70 last year, making it an all-age affair. There are more than 300 competitors expected to take part this year. For more information visit the BC Barrel Racers Association website at www.bcbra.com.

Three lakecity players in Kamloops’ soccer finals Monday’s men’s soccer final in the competitive division of the Kamloops Invitational Tournament between Norvan (North Vancouver) and TRU Alumni (Kamloops) featured plenty of Williams Lake content.

Three lakecity players took part as both Sean and Ryan Glanville donned a TRU jersey and Brent Dodge laced up the boots for Norvan.

What most were expecting to be a close final Monday afternoon at Macarthur Island Park turned into a blowout as TRU went on to a convincing 5-0 win.

For the Glanville brothers, it put an end to losing in heartbreaking fashion at the tournament for the past nine years.

Training tips for Tour de Cariboo Brittany Klingmann Special to Tribune/Advisor The details of a training program can be multi-faceted and complicated. While it’s critical a training program is appropriately planned for a competitive cyclist, this can be overwhelming and intimidating for beginners when it doesn’t have to be.

For those who are relatively new to cycling or just starting out, the important thing is that you are out there on a regular basis getting physical activity.

Many health benefits can be achieved through regular moderate intensity physical activity including: decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes, improved mental health, improved sleep and energy and it’s a great way to achieve your weight loss goals.

Keeping this in mind, today’s article is

Start slow and gradually build up to longer rides as your fitness allows. Shorter rides are usually easier to fit in during the week, while you can plan longer rides on the weekends.

As a general rule — if you increase your weekly mileage or time spent on the bike by 10 percent per week you are progressing at a good rate.

Also, schedule in 1 “recovery week” every month where you cut back on the longer rides to allow your body to adapt to the new stresses placed on it and prevent injury.

For comfort while riding, try and change positions frequently and occasionally stand out of your saddle.

You may even want to stretch your neck and roll your shoulders if they get stiff. To be most efficient and to assist with developing a good pedaling style, aim for a cadence (revolutions per minute RPM) of between 80100 RPM. If you have a heart rate monitor you will want to keep your heart rate between 6580% of your maximum heart rate during the first several weeks of your training.

An easy way to calculate your estimated

maximum heart rate is by using the following equation: 220-age = maximum heart rate in beats per minute. Then multiply by .65 to get the lower range and by .80 to get the upper range.

For example, I am 30 years of age. So to calculate my estimated maximum heart rate is as follows: 220-30 = 190 / 190 x .65 = 123.5 (round up to 124) and 190 x .80 = 152.

Therefore, my target heart rate range would be between 124-152 beats per minute.

If you don’t have a heart rate monitor, or you are not all that keen about math — don’t worry, you can also use the talk test — which is an easy and convenient way to ensure you are working at the right intensity.

If you are riding with a partner just make sure you are able to maintain a conversation (one to two sentences at a time) without needing to pause or gasp for air.

Once you have established a reasonable base — approximately four weeks of consistent riding, it will be a good idea to include some higher intensity work by doing some hill training as there are a few challenging

hills to conquer during the ride. Sitting is the most effective and efficient way to climb a hill.

It’s important to change gears as needed at the bottom of the hill, transfer your weight forward on the saddle and lower your trunk over the handlebars.

Attempt to keep your revolutions between 60-80 RPM up the hill.

If the hill is too steep or you need to change up the muscles you are working, change to one gear harder and stand out of the saddle and your cadence may drop slightly which is okay.

Remember — the most important thing is that you have chosen to participate in the 22nd Annual Tour de Cariboo — whether it is for fun, health, fitness or all of the above, so congratulations.

If you still have not registered, don’t wait any longer, contact Williams Lake Big Brothers and Big Sisters by phone at 250398-8391 or on-line at www.bbswlake.com to register today.

Stay tuned for the next article on nutrition and hydration.
