Most water restrictions rescinded Sean Glanville Staff Writer Residents of the area impacted by the Mount Polley Mine tailings pond breach received good news from Interior Health yesterday.

Dr. Trevor Corneil, IH medical officer, announced during a Ministry of the Environment conference call yesterday afternoon that the water advisory has now been rescinded for Likely and area and may be consumed for normal use.

The do not use order for drinking water, personal and recreational use was lifted for all waterways south of 6236 Cedar Creek Road on the Quesnel River and the majority of Quesnel Lake.

The ban only remains in effect

for the area that MOE is calling the impact zone, which includes Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek, the tailings pond, and a 100-metre buffer zone where the debris plume entered Quesnel Lake.

“The do not use order has been rescinded and the water advisory is only for what we are calling the impact zone,” said Corneil.

“There is no reason to think Quesnel Lake was ever exposed to unsafe contaminants.”

It is now safe from a human health perspective for drinking water, personal use, fishing, swimming, and recreational purposes.

MOE has also assured First Nations that the water is safe for salmon fishing as millions of sockeye are expected to arrive in

New

the Quesnel river systems in the coming weeks.

Corneil has deemed all fish outside the remaining impact zone as safe for human consumption.

“I recognize the important role fishing plays to local residents and First Nations,” said Corneil.

“I have consulted with numerous experts in this field, and I am reassured that the current fish living in these waterways are safe to consume.”

Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, expects to announce this week how the province will handle the inquiry into the Mount Polley tailings spill, and how the government will deal with tailings ponds throughout the province.

Bennett said he agrees with calls

for an independent investigation into the tailings pond dam failure.

“There has to be some independent oversight and insight into that process,” Bennett told CKNW radio.

NDP Energy and Mines Critic Norm Macdonald said an inquiry is definitely in order, but it should be independent of the government.

Macdonald said the B.C. Liberal government bears responsibility for the spill because they have cut the number of people who do inspections significantly.

“Inspections at mines have fallen by 50 per cent since 2001,” Macdonald said.

Salmon issues discussed during Xat’sull cultural event Sean Glanville Staff Writer

Sean Glanville photo

Fin Donnelly, NDP MP for New WestminsterCoquitlam and environmental critic discusses the Mount Polley tailings breach at the Xat’sull cultural event. Donnelly was part of the Watershed team that is currently travelling the Fraser River by canoe, shuttle van and raft to raise awareness. Donnelly swam the 1,400 kilometre Fraser River back in 1995.

Local and provincial First Nations dignitaries spoke to a crowd of about 80 people on Sunday at the Xat’sull (Soda Creek) cultural event to discuss issues surrounding the Mount Polley tailings pond breach — an event which has led to the Secwepemc’s (Shuswap) refusal to catch any salmon out of fear of contamination.

Grand Chief Ed John and his wife Wendy Grant-John, former Musqueam First Nation Chief, made the trip to Xat’sull to speak at the gathering.

Wendy was instrumental in arranging for her band to provide the Secwepemc (Shuswap) people with salmon caught 500-kilometres downstream near the Fraser delta. Wendy was contacted by Esk’etemc

Chief Charlene Belleau asking if there was any way she could help.

“After I spoke to Charlene I called my brother Wayne (Musqueam Chief Wayne Sparrow) and he said ‘looks like we’re going fishing,’” said Wendy.

Sparrow rounded up his top fisherman and every one of them agreed to help.

The first salmon were expected to arrive in Williams Lake early this week.

“When people are in need the First Nations response is: how can we help? We simply respond to the needs of the Elders and Secwepemc Chiefs rather than apologize for the irresponsible actions of industry,” said Sparrow.

In what First Nations are calling heartless and illogical — the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is refusing to

allow the Secwepemc (Shuswap) First Nations to apply some of their Section 35 (annual quota) salmon to be caught in the Musqueam First Nation’s downstream waters.

“I think that for the DFO to take the fish the Musqueam people catch for us and add that to their quota and not give them a special permit is absolutely wrong,” said Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie.

DFO is insisting any salmon caught in Musqueam waters before they head further up the water system must be counted against Musqueam’s quota.

Despite the government’s position, the Musqueam people are committed to supplying these communities with healthy fish.

Xat’sull Chief Bev Sellars distrusts govern-

ment’s claims that the water, which has had 15 million litres of mine slurry flooding into it, is fine for salmon fishing.

“We don’t believe the B.C. government’s water tests and have reviewed the list of toxic heavy metals that were released from the tailings dam earlier this week,” said Sellars. “They are doing their best to stand up for the mining industry and leave us in the background to suffer the consequences.”

John, who grew up in the Carrier village of Tache, 60 kilometres from Fort St. James, discussed how his Carrier people know the devastating effects of mining from their own painful experience. In 2004, a tailings dam failed and spilled into Pinchi Lake.

“For over 20 years Teck Cominco mine dumped mercury into Pinchi Lake, contami-

nating the fish — our traditional food source — from the lake,” said John.

He added that local Carrier bands were left in the dark as neither the government or company gave them any warnings of the danger.

John went from attending Lejac Residential School to becoming the North American Representative to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

He worries the current situation at Mount Polley will suffer the same fate as Pinchi Lake.

“People have a right to be skeptical of industry and government – watch them try and whitewash this disaster,” said John.

John had hopes to visit the Likely area and see the damage for himself.

Williams Lake RCMP respond to pair of pickups stolen On Saturday, Aug. 9 shortly after 9 p.m., a male reported to the Williams Lake RCMP that a young male attempted to spray him with bear spray.

The victim stated there were three males sitting by the Greyhound Bus Depot, all between 18-19 years old, wearing all black clothes. The victim told police that one male threatened him with bear spray. Officers attended but were unable to locate the suspects.

On Sunday, Aug. 10 shortly before 6 a.m. the Williams Lake RCMP received a complainant that a red 2014 Dodge Ram pickup had been damaged while parked at the owner’s residence on the 200 block of Litzenburg

Crescent.

Suspect(s) smashed the passenger side window of the truck, nothing was taken from the vehicle.

Later on that Sunday morning around 8:19 a.m. the Williams Lake RCMP received a report that a red and grey 1996 Dodge Ram pickup had been stolen from a residence on the 1400 block of 12th Ave. North in Williams Lake. The vehicle was taken over night between the hours of 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.

At 8:42 a.m. the RCMP dispatch received a call from another individual who advised that he witnessed suspicious activity across the street from him at 6:30 a.m. The caller advised dispatch that a male parked a Dodge pickup in an empty car port on Ninth

Ave. North, got out of the vehicle, walked across the front yard and then hopped a couple of fences through the backyard until he got onto 11th Ave. The male was described as First Nations, 18 or 19 years of age, 5’7 in height, slim build, short black hair, wearing tanned pants, a black jacket and a red shirt. Officers attended and confirmed this was in fact the truck that was stolen earlier.

On Monday, Aug. 11 at 3:31 a.m., The Williams Lake RCMP received a call from a neighbour that a Green 1996 Dodge pickup was stolen from a residence on the 900 block of Ninth Ave. North.

Officers located the owner and confirmed the truck was stolen.

PD Security advised the RCMP that they saw the stolen vehicle on Mackenzie Ave heading west-

bound on Hwy 20. The vehicle was later seen on Hodgson Rd heading toward South Lakeside

Drive. This matter is still under investigation.

The RCMP is asking anyone with informa-

tion pertaining to this matter to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Alexis Creek fire continues to expand Sean Glanville Staff Writer The wildfire west of Alexis Creek continues to grow as what was initially reported as a small five hectare blaze on Monday had expanded to 600 hectares on Tuesday, according to B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch.

Effective Tuesday afternoon, the Cariboo Regional District issued an evacuation alert for the Bayliff Road area near Alexis Creek as a result of

the wildfire. A total of nine mapped residences are under this alert.

A public information line has been established at 250-3985581.

The location of the fire is approximately 24-kilometres west of Alexis Creek and caused Highway 20 to close Monday but has since re-opened.

“Highway 20 is open but traffic has been impacted and there is limited access. There are flaggers directing traffic

at the moment,” said Fire Information Officer Sandra Wagner.

“This is subject to change depending on the behaviour of the fire and the alternate route (Chilko Lake and Bayliff Route) may be needed again to re-route traffic.”

Luckily no structures or communities have been threatened by the fire and fire crews are working hard to extinguish the blaze.

“Air Tankers, helicopters, ground personnel and heavy

equipment are all being applied to the fire.

Crews worked well into the evening on Monday and are back working onsite today,” said Wagner. “The fire is displaying aggressive behaviour and has challenged the fire retardant lines.”

The Wildfire Management Branch is currently assessing property values as residents are under potential evacuation alert.

Mountain, Commodore Heights, Mountview, Chimney Valley, Flett, South Lakeside, North Lakeside.

Based on input received at community meetings held in May and June, Day says the directors have revised the draft terms of reference for the standing committee.

The purpose of the standing committe will be to identify resource values and interests for consideration in management of the Williams Lake Community Forest and to convey these recommendations to the board of directors.

The standing committee will also encourage and support meaningful consultation with residents, communities and resource users.

The directors are seeking individuals who have a specific interest in the land area of the Williams Lake Community Forest and who can bring knowledge from one or more key interests important

to the management of the community forest.

The goal is to have a committee of individuals with a broad representation of community interests who can work collaboratively to provide recommendations to assist in planning and managing the W.L. Community Forest.

It is proposed that the standing committee meet two to four times a year, with more meetings at the initiation of the process.

The standing committee would also hold at least one annual meeting with residents, community leaders and resources users who may include ranchers, miners, salvage loggers, guide/outfitters, water users, recreationists, residents, general public, etc.

The community forest manager, or staff designate will attend the standing committee meetings and community engagement sessions.

Meetings will be scheduled to best accommodate committee members and would most likely be in the evenings.

“Please feel free to volunteer yourself or to nominate another individual to participate in this important work,” Day says.

Information packages on how to volunteer or nominate someone for the standing committee are available at wlcommunityforest@shaw.ca Nominations should be returned to wlcommunityforest@shaw.ca or by fax to 250-3985708 by Sept. 8.

Quesnel Lake area tourism operators open for business Despite the tragic breach of the Mount Polley mine tailings pond on Aug. 4, the Central Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association reports that tourism operators in that area are forging ahead with plans for their summer guests.

The tailings pond dam breach resulted a precautionary water use ban while officials determine the extent and reach of the environmental impacts.

“The Mount Polley event is devastating and has impacted our stakeholders in the Likely area of North Cariboo,” says the CCCTA CEO Amy Thacker.

“I would like to clarify that all of the tourism businesses on Quesnel Lake and certainly throughout the entire Cariboo remain open and fully operational.

“Helping visitors be matched with outdoor adventure and recreation opportunities to ensure exceptional experiences in this land without limits continues.

“Today, more than ever these small busi-

More than 100 guests enjoyed pulled chicken and beef, fresh salad delicacies and more, with a view of the lake as a backdrop to the stage and a bonfire under the stars.

Resort owners Marita and Kyle Boxrud welcomed guests and event organizers Louise and Brad Comeau worked behind the scenes to make the lively event a huge success. Pauline Williams, Samantha Comeau, Amber Comeau and Angela Hehr were featured on the festival stage, entertaining the audience with a wide range of great music. Festival guests included the community of seasonal resort residents, visitors and neighbours who traveled by boat to enjoy the event. Two music festivals on the lake went ahead over the weekend as planned. The Plato Island Resort receives water from a spring.

“Our operators in the affected area are family run. They don’t just work here, these people are part of the

community, they are first responders, cleanup crews, support volunteers and business owners. Come visit this beautiful part of our region and support the

great work that our tourism operators do in our rural communities.”

Tourism operators also responded.

“We are open and

delivering all our products and services to our guests,” added Peggy Zorn, owner of Likelybased Ecotours-BC. “All our backcountry adventures, including alpine hiking, remain unaffected by this tragic event.”

Pat Corbett, CCCTA board chair adds: “I would like to remind everyone that as serious as this incident is — it impacts a relatively small area of the Cariboo region and there is no reason to disrupt any travel plans to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast.

Public safety is the number one priority at this time and we must ensure that accurate and responsible information is effectively distributed to all our residents and visitors alike.”

Independent inquiry needed

Rebuilding together

Ready to Kick it at camp Likely

f the stuff in a mine’s tailing pond is benign, why does it have to be contained in secure facilities?

For whatever reason, Mount Polley Mine’s waste containing facility wasn’t secure enough, and now people’s faith in mine safety has been broken along with the breach in the dam.

It’s impossible to predict the environmental consequences of this event. The economic repercussions are being felt already. In the worst case scenario, the mine won’t re-open and the gunk will do grievous damage to the environment.

The best scenario would see the mess cleared French up in jig time with Connection little harm done Diana French to anything or anyone. (Dream on). Meantime the blame game is going full blast with fingers pointing in all directions. What went wrong?

Was government oversight lacking? Was the mine careless? Did the devil do it?

We are bombarded with conflicting information and expert opinions. Most of us believe whoever is saying what we want to hear, but the expert I know personally and trust is Jack Leggett.

He was the provincial fisheries biologist here for some 30 years. His knowledge of local waterways and the fish in them is first class. I don’t have space to report all his thoughts, but he believes an independent public inquiry would “be in order” to establish what went wrong, and prevent anything like it happening again.

He is right. With love and kisses to government and mine investigators, this is no time for an in-house inquiry. We need an independent body with no vested interests to look into the debacle. That’s the only way to regain the public trust. *** As a Williams Lake taxpayer, I wouldn’t have minded if city council had given Likely area residents free use of the recreation complex showers. And what about help with laundromats?

I realize this isn’t a city responsibility, but whatever happened to the Cariboo’s reputation for neighbours helping neighbours?

Despite the tailings spill at the Mount Polley Mine site, Camp Likely is going ahead as scheduled. Here, Alex Cameron (from left), Jazmyn Crombie-Smith, Harmony Lycett and Ava Cameron arrive Sunday to register for camp, which runs from Aug. 10-15. As of Tuesday afternoon Interior Health advised its water restrictions had been rescinded to areas outside of 100 metres of the visible sediment plume.

Our Viewpoint

Let us be warned The recent Mount Polley Mining tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us, none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences.

While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is; who will pay for the cleanup?

Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers.

Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns Mount Polley Mining Corp., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine — some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 million — but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated.

There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant). More than six years later, restoration efforts continue.

Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S. So what does all this mean for the rest

of the province? Could it happen again?

The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds.

The requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies is an ongoing issue with the various governances, such as the Comox Valley Regional District.

In fact, in June, the CVRD submitted a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, expressing concern over a proposed site testing by a mining company in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area and requested that “no coal licence be issued” to the company in question.

Consider it a proactive approach.

Some economists were undoubtedly crying foul over the decision, upset at the number of potential jobs being lost by such a request.

But it’s a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely.

Sometimes foresight is 20:20.

t has been just over a week since the incident at the Mount Polley Mine site. Having visited the site and the town of Likely over the past week, all I can say is the strength and the bond of the people in Likely is incredible.

Last Thursday, Premier Christy Clark, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, Environment Minister Mary Polak, myself and fellow Cariboo MLA Donna Barnett had the honour of attending a healing ceremony with the Esk’etemc First Nation. This was a very important first step of a long process of healing and rebuilding as a community.

MLA While in the face of challenges Musings and setbacks, our Coralee Oakes d e t e r m i n at i o n will help us overcome this obstacle. There are so many people at the site and in the town of Likely who are working hard and so far have been making significant progress.

Tug boats have been cleaning up any remaining debris on Quesnel Lake to ensure homes, docks and the beautiful wooden bridge to Likely remain safe and intact.

Water samples are being taken regularly from various locations to ensure that water quality is at acceptable levels for humans and aquatic life. The good news is that samples taken so far have come back to be very close to historical levels prior to the tailings breach and meet both provincial and federal guidelines.

All tourism operations on Quesnel Lake and throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast are open and operational ready to welcome guests. In addition, the Cariboo will also be highlighted at the GoMedia Marketplace, one of the largest travel media conferences in Canada taking place next week in Winnipeg.

Our office is providing updates to the public as we receive them and posting information on our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/cariboonorth.

We also have e-mail updates available and if you would like to receive those please e-mail Coralee.Oakes.MLA@leg. bc.ca.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

What will change?

Editor: The Mount Polley mine tailings pond collapse was an environmental catastrophe like no other in British Columbia.

Despite reassuring water quality testing results only days after the breach, I don’t think anyone is sitting back feeling that everything will be fine.

When your region in British Columbia begins the national news for a few nights in a row, you know it’s a leading story

nationally, and possibly globally.

I am only one local citizen who is asking, what now?

What will we as British Columbians do to ensure that a preventable disaster like this never happens again?

Will our elected leaders now uphold the necessary legislation, policy and practices?

Who wants low taxes when a gem like Quesnel Lake and all natural resources downstream are vulnerable for decades?

Are low taxes worth it?

Possibly higher taxes may save us money, and a lot of grief, in the long run.

I sincerely hope that August 4 is a turning point in British Columbia.

We can look back and say that on Aug. 4, 2014, British Columbia became truly serious about environmental protection.

Question of the week

?

Jane Perry Williams Lake

Bennett needs to resign now Editor: The Mt. Polley mine disaster has shocked us all.

It is a tragedy for many, not least of which are the returning salmon.

Though many of us have had our suspicions about the nature of the mining industry in B.C. for years, to see the blatant inadequacies of our regulatory regime laid bare in this fashion is truly horrifying.

Now the story is emerging about repeated warnings, inadequate penalties for infractions, and the deliberately created lack of capac-

ity of government to do the job to which we entrust it.

There appears to be an unhealthy crony relationship between or government and the mining industry in this province.

Some say that apportioning blame is a waste of time, that we should get on with the clean up and with helping those affected.

And so we should.

But we must also find and eliminate the root causes of this tragedy.

In a healthy democracy this is how we go about making things better and find healing. This means that those responsible must

step up and take their medicine.

Always, always, this goes to the people at the top.

Mines Minister Bill Bennett has let us down. He has let us down very badly. He is not only demonstrably incompetent, he seeks to avoid responsibility for a ministry that has become ineffective in its regulatory role on his watch. He has only one honourable path before him. He must resign.

I am calling upon him do so immediately.

David Williams Friends of the Nemiah Valley

Standards should be increased Editor: The recent letters by both John Morton of Bella Coola and Reg Norberg of Williams Lake caused me to reflect on the same subject, that is a pipe line through the Bella Coola Valley.

Some 35 or more years ago I wrote a letter to the Tribune regarding this very subject.

Someone at that time, government or otherwise, had proposed a pipeline through the Bella Coola valley.

My position in my letter to the Tribune was based on the fact that, when it comes to things like, pipe lines, railroads, power lines, even highways, if we the people want to stop such development we have few tools at our disposal.

If the government wants something to be done, it will be done. In my letter of that past date, I took the position, why not be proactive,

Letters aLways weLcome

www.wltribune.com A7

why not establish local standards, why not have local written laws to say if a government approved project is to be constructed, the construction must follow our own local, written into provincial law, standards of construction.

These standards of construction would ensure that all the concerns of the locals in any given area would be the final arbiters in how construction and protection of the local environment would take place.

One can only wonder how a country can meet its obligations, or even have been originally developed in the first place, if we the people refuse to allow every necessary economic development because we don’t want it in our personal back yards.

I fault environmentalists and I include First Nations, with an evergrowing negative attitude toward all economic development. In my opinion environmentalists should

spend more time and money developing intelligent rules and engineering standards of how things can be done, instead of objecting to almost every development.

While we can blame the mining company and the government for the Mount Polly tailings pond failure, I argue the tailings pond failure would not have happened had past environmentalists insisted, based on good sound engineering and world history, on how such structures are to be constructed.

It is time for all involved, whether it be a pipe line, a power line, a railroad, a highway development, or even a tailings pond, to quit arguing about why something should not be done, and spend more time in intelligently instructing developers in how we the people want such projects done.

The fish in the Gibraltar Mine tailings pond are obviously doing well so let’s let the real test results be known before any more inflammatory comments are thrown around.

Tourism operators suffering Earnest Hall Black Press Midway through the 2014 tourist season, tourism businesses along Highway 20 from end to end are hurting, according to a recent survey conducted by Bella Coola Valley Tourism. And the future for the industry may be even bleaker.

In a telephone survey of businesses stretching from the Bella Coola townsite to Riske Creek, nearly all reported business is down this summer — with estimates ranging from 10 to more than 90 per cent. Those suffering most are businesses offering tours in addition to accommodations.

Especially suffering are those most dependent on advance bookings by international agencies wishing to book travellers on the Discovery Coast Circle Tour — a world-class adventure scuttled this season in cost-cutting measures recommended

by BC Ferries and adopted by the BC government.

This move involved

The NV Nimpkish carries up to 16 vehicles, sailing from Bella Bella to Bella Coola in about nine hours, four times a week in the summer. replacing the MV Queen of Chilliwack with the much smaller MV Nimpkish that connects with the Port HardyPrince Rupert ferry at Bella Bella.

When asked if business was better or worse compared to business in 2013, only three reported business to be about the same, noting that their businesses were not highly dependent on the ferry service.

One accommodator/ tour operator reported an increase of 10 per cent in business which was attributed to an advertising campaign and special offers for fly-in guests. Businesses hardest hit are those who have promoted largely through European agen-

cies who used to schedule the Circle Tour as part of a three-week $15,000 “trip of a lifetime” to British Columbia — the type of booking that is done many months in advance.

This season, tourists and agents were unable to book on the Circle Tour until late April, which was too late for most international travellers. Consequently, European agents scratched the Circle Tour from their packages, and those travellers found elsewhere to go. Respondents to the BCVT survey indicated that much of the 2014 tourist traffic involves Canadian travellers.

Most of the businesses surveyed indicated

that much of their operation — in some cases, 90 per cent — has depended on the summer ferry service. Three of these, seasonal operators in the Chilcotin, said 65 to 98 per cent of their business depended on ferry travellers, and the cancellation of Route No. 40 accounted for business losses of 40 to 90 per cent.

One Chilcotin business has nights booked for 13 couples between now and mid-September. In 2013, this number was 130. After 21 years in business, this operator says the upside is that his wife can swim in the lake every day and they are planning an August vacation. They are considering closing down the operation entirely.

One Bella Coola tour operator whose business is 75 per cent dependent on ferry traffic said business is down 75 per cent at this point while another reported losses of 60 to 80 per cent. A third, who offers both accommodation and tours, said his business, which is 70 per cent ferry-dependent, is down a whopping 90 per cent

over last year.

The 2014 version of the Circle Tour is losing not only its international travellers. For instance, one seasonal operator who has catered to three tour buses each bringing 30 to 40 Canadian seniors on the Circle Tour for 14 summers has just done so for the last time.

These tours, west from Williams Lake, involved stopping for lunch in the Chilcotin, overnighting at Nimpo Lake, going for a flight-seeing tour of the glaciers to the south, overnighting in Bella Coola, and heading out the channel and across Queen Charlotte Sound to Vancouver Island.

Although sailings on the Nimpkish are often full (at times to the point of overcrowding — raising concerns about safety), there are still plenty of rooms in the Valley and across the Chilcotin for additional ferry travellers. In fact, a recent BCVT inventory of Valley accommodations indicates ample space for the numbers travelling on the much larger Queen of Chilliwack in years gone by.

Earnest Hall Black Press Travellers trying to book a circle tour involving Bella Coola are discovering that ferry space is often not available.

And those who do make the voyage are complaining about the inconvenience of the 16.5-hour trip between Port Hardy on Van-

couver Island and Bella Coola — nine hours of it on an inappropriate vessel arriving in Bella Coola at midnight.

While travellers arriving in Bella Coola on the Nimpkish are lavishing great praise on the crew for their efforts to make the experience enjoyable, many say they would not recommend the Nimpkish experience to others.

The business loss this

season is only part of the gloom that has descended on the tourism industry in the wake of cuts to Bella Coola ferry service.

With no indication from BC Ferries or the government that plans are under way to address the financial concerns of area businesses, some fear that the damage is much more far-reaching.

Because international

travel agencies require months and years to arrange tour packages that depend on reliable bookings, many won’t consider recommending travel involving BC Ferries. Such agencies need guarantees of schedules and fares for as long as five years, and as one operator put it, BC Ferries and the BC government have created such a climate of uncertainty

that “European tour operators won’t touch B.C. as a destination.”

Tourism businesses also fear the damage to the region’s reputation caused by the Route 40 cancellation and the Nimpkish replacement.

The Coast Mountain News plans to publish a comprehensive report on passenger reactions to the Nimpkish experience in the Aug. 14 issue.

Horse hair decoration a unique style Potter Lesley Lloyd is among some 50 artists whose work is now on display at local businesses participating in the lakecity’s 2014 Art Walk Show and Sale.

Born in the Okanagan, Lloyd attended school in Williams Lake and then studied for two years at UBC. In 1973 she returned to the Cariboo after living in Australia with her husband. It was there that she first got the “clay-bug.”

She has been a member of the Cariboo Potters Guild since that time, taking whatever courses were offered here, but also travelling far afield to gain more knowledge.

Over the years she has dabbled in many areas of pottery, but tries now to concentrate on stoneware and raku, with elegant and decorative horsehair pottery being her specialty.

Don Alder’s journey comes full circle Kristin Froneman Black Press Don Alder’s life has taken many twists and turns down life’s highway.

He’s gone from tuning strings to greasing wheels and back again, and is now making his name as one of the world’s most celebrated fingerstyle guitarists.

The man who has been described as the Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar, Alder is probably best known as being the righthand man to his childhood friend and fellow Williams Lake native, wheelchair and spinal chord research champion Rick Hansen.

These days, Alder describes himself simply as a guitarist, composer and musician.

However, his story is as fascinating as the arsenal of acoustic guitars he plays, some of which he’ll demonstrate when he gives his Performances in the Park concert Thursday evening in Boitanio Park.

Alder was the guy who literally greased Hansen’s wheelchair wheels on the 40,000-kilometre Man in Motion World Tour from 1985 to 1987, and has since worked with the Rick Hansen Foundation.

“I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid but I didn’t get really serious about it until after the Rick Hansen tour ended in ‘87,” said Alder, who first picked up the instrument after he contracted yellow jaundice when he fell off a hand-built raft into a creek, and swallowed water.

“My mom got me a guitar while I was recovering. I really wanted a drum kit, but she won that war,” he laughed.

As a teen, Alder started playing in rock bands, and remembers the one time he and his Black Sabbath loving bandmates got the brilliant idea to load 12 gauge shotguns with graffiti as part of their act.

“I had flames coming out of mine. The gunpowder had ignited and a wad of flames flew out.

It lifted a guitar and flew off into the drum stool,” he said. “That’s how we were as kids. It was ‘you can beat me up, but don’t beat up my bicycle,’ so to speak.”

That band ended up breaking up, and it was around then Alder decided to pursue a solo acoustic career in the same vein as Bruce Cockburn, moving to Kaleden in the Okanagan, where he built a recording studio.

Alder was focusing on his music when his best friend Hansen called him up. The two had already been through so much together. In 1973, Alder was with Hansen when a pickup truck the

2014 Art Walk and Sale

The annual Art Walk and Sale featured 52 artists paired with local businesses and a grand prize of a necklace hand crafted by artist Counc. Geofd Bourdon.

Monday, Aug. 11 to Friday, Aug. 15 Scout Island fun for kids continues Sage Birchwater photo

Raised in Williams Lake Don Alder (left) performing here in July at the Bella Coola Music Festival returns home this week to celebrate his grandmother’s 100th birthday and give a concert at Performances in the Park in Boitanio Park Thursday evening starting at 7 p.m. two were hitching a ride home in lost control, rolled over and threw both men from the vehicle. While Alder walked away, Hansen ended up with a severed spine.

Years later, while training as a wheelchair athlete for the Boston Marathon, Hansen ended up back in hospital, this time with a dislocated shoulder.

“He called me up and said he wanted to tell me something,” remembered Alder, who went to Hansen’s bedside. “He said he wanted to go around the world in a wheelchair. I told the nurse, ‘can you get me a straitjacket?’”

After a while, Alder changed his mind about that request.

“As a kid he was always supportive of me, so I decided to support him.”

The men set off on their epic journey in March, 1985, with Alder often biking or running along for six-to-eight miles to catch up with Hansen. He also left his guitar behind as his hands were literally up to his elbows in grease, as he was in charge of Hansen’s wheelchair maintenance. That was until the Man in Motion tour stopped at a McDonald’s restaurant in Nova Scotia.

“We had met George Cohon (the founder and senior chairman of McDonald’s of Canada) and he asked me what I did. It turned out his son played the sax,” recalled Alder. “In Nova Scotia, we stopped at the franchise and the manager there said he had something for me... He gave me a Hondo guitar, saying ‘George said he wanted you to have this.’”

Alder admits he experienced a bit of an anti-climactic low when the Man in Motion tour ended in

May of 1987.

“I had no contacts and went back to Vancouver to live in a small apartment. I ended up getting myself a cheap guitar and the music came out. I was writing bits and pieces, or noodling as they say, when all of a sudden it came together.”

Alder started writing and did the music for a series of documentaries on the Man in Motion tour for Shaw Cable.

He also became one of the country’s most respected wheelchair sport experts using the skills he learned on the tour to help others, as well as serving as equipment manager for 16 years with the Rick Hansen Foundation and as a consultant with the Canadian National Paralympic team at both the Atlanta and Sydney Paralympic Games.

“It did get me out of music for a while... I was with Rick at a presentation when he said, ‘a lot of us do not pursue our dreams because we are afraid of failure and failure is just not having the courage to try.’ It was a Pollyanna (principle) moment for me,” said Alder, who with those words decided to enter his first guitar competition, the International Fingerstyle Championships in Winfield, Kansas.

“I got my butt kicked twice, and the third time I had a problem with my nails; the glue I used on them had lifted them off the nail bed. I cut them down and played cautiously and ended up coming in second.”

Alder used that experience as a learning tool: to slow down and work on training his ear and touch to bring out the tonal colours of the instrument. It worked, and he ended up win-

ning the competition the following year.

Upon opening this new chapter in his life, Alder would go on to be named Guitar Player Magazine’s 2010 Guitar Superstar Champion and the 2011 Worldwide Guitar Idol winner, and has since taken his music, and guitars, around the world.

“When I won these things, I did not get much mainstream media attention, but it did get me into a few industry magazines,” said the Yamaha endorsed artist who has not only been featured in Guitar Player Magazine, but just about every other known guitar publication.

“The profile I’ve had has been amazing. You can build a ground base of fans with niche music, but it is difficult.

“When you say you play fingerstyle guitar, people think it’s guitar-only music and they associate it with classical, which has had an elite audience.

“The music I play is for all of us, though. It’s not a circus act.

I’m not jumping up and spinning in the air while playing, but I believe there are a lot of new guys packing houses with this kind of acoustic music. They are getting the genre out there in people’s faces.”

Recently hand-picked to play Space Oddity with acclaimed Canadian astronaut/musician Chris Hadfield in Hawaii, Williams Lake area audiences will see and hear Alder apply his fast moving fingers (said to be like four bands in one hand) to his harp guitar, which includes a sub-head with six bass strings, a banjitar (halfguitar, half-banjo), as well as a fan fret, baritone and standard guitar.

Dorothy Bittner lovingly remembered With great sadness the family announces the passing of Dorothy Bittner, known fondly as Bubby, on Aug. 1, 2014.

She was a pioneer ranching woman of the Chilcotin, loved by many.

She was warm, generous, strong, hardworking and caring, and above all was her unconditional love for her family.

Born in the Kamloops area in 1928, she moved to Kleena Kleene to work at the

Dorothy “Bubby” Bittner is missed by her loving family.

One Eye Lake Lodge where she met and married her husband and partner, Allan Bittner, in 1950.

Together they raised their five children on their beloved ranch in Kleena Kleene.

She leaves to mourn, her husband and partner Allan, married for 64 years; her loving children Grant Bittner (Dee), Barb Lambe (Mike), Rex Bittner (Gail), Sandy Willson (Ed) and Duncan Bittner (Meghan), and many

grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

After many successful years ranching they sold their beloved ranch in Kleena Kleene and retired to Barriere where they spent 10 great years before moving to the Bella Coola Valley to their daughter Sandy’s for nine years.

She was a wonderful partner and mother with many hobbies including cooking, gardening, spinning, bird watching, arrowhead hunting and

picking mushrooms, but her passion was her family.

There was nothing she liked better than family gatherings.

One of her favourite sayings when an eagle flew over was “the spirit has seen us and approved of what we are doing.”

She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. There will be no service at the family’s request.

To the world you were one - to us you were the world.

Barkerville celebrates full moon festival According to ancient Chinese astrology, the moon is at its roundest in the middle of the autumn season.

Since the round shape of full moon symbolizes family reunion and togetherness in Chinese culture, one of the pre-eminent festivals in the Chinese calendar is the MidAutumn Moon Festival.

During the festival, family members gather to eat moon cakes and appreciate the bright full moon — an auspicious token of abundance, harmony and luck.

On Aug. 16, Barkerville is host to the annual Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. Barkerville celebrates the festival a little earlier than most in order to share this special day with the

historic town’s summertime guests.

“Many people associate the arrival of the Chinese in Canada with the building of the railway,” said Dr. Ying Ying Chen, the archaeologist who runs Barkerville’s Historic Chinatown interpretation program.

“The Mid-Autumn Moon Festival in Barkerville celebrates how these immigrants came to our country much earlier than that, and how they made significant contributions to the economy of British Columbia before it was a part of Canada.”

In addition to a presentation of the Legend of Chang O, the tragic story of a Chinese goddess said to live on the moon, the day features lion danc-

es, Chinese martial arts demonstrations, lantern-making workshops, a tea ceremony, games for all ages, moon cake tasting, two special celebration banquets, late-night fireworks, and a spectacular parade of illuminated paper lanterns that will fill the event with equal parts revelry and reverence for one of British Columbia’s oldest and largest ethnic communities.

“The struggle and sacrifice of Barkerville’s Chinese community has been recognized as an extraordinary contribution to the forming of B.C. as we know it today,” said Ed Coleman, Barkerville’s chief executive officer.

“We are happy to help honour those Chinese miners who

The Chee Kung Tong, the oldest ethnic Chinese structure in Canada, was erected by the Chinese Free-

masons in Barkerville to help Chinese miners adjust to the realities of living so far from home, and to act as a hospice of sorts for those community members in need.

The Chee Kung Tong was itself declared a National Historic Site in 2009.

Williams Lake is lucky to have the Scout Island aquifer, from which we source all of our water.

As the Safe Drinking Water Foundation (Saskatoon, SK) states: “The water [in aquifers] is usually much cleaner than the water of reservoirs at the earth’s surface: Almost no bacteria live in aquifers, [and] many pollutants are filtered out as water passes through the soil on its way to the aquifer.

They also point out, however, that aquifers can and do become polluted due to human actions, and when an aquifer becomes polluted, like all water resources, it is very difficult to remedy, if not impossible.

But before anyone tells you how you should use our water resource, we should also point out that Williams Lake is not doing a half-bad job when it comes to water conservation.

We have finally stabilized the aquifer level to an almost-balanced d i s c h a rg e / re c h a rg e rate, and according to city water consumption data collected from 2007-2013. We can see a downward trend in water usage both overall, as well as during peak summer months.

Consumption is down 20 per cent in the last seven years, compared to preceding years, and summer flow (usage) accounts for only 37 per cent of total annual flow, compared to 45 per cent in preceding years.

We, as a municipality, have not had to invest in any major expansion projects to accommodate increased usage, and can preserve current infrastructure for as long as possible, if we maintain conservation efforts and keep our usage as low as possible. This means cost savings for everyone.

This is one of the main goals for the CCCS Water Wise program.

Since 2006, Water Wise has developed and facilitated classroom education modules and field trips around water systems and wise water use in Williams Lake and the surrounding area, for grades kindergarten to Grade 8.

The CCCS Water Wise program focuses on water conservation not just of natural ecosystems, but throughout our municipal water delivery system.

Both resources need to be conserved equally, as they are interdependent.

All of our municipal outflow ends up in the Fraser River, after travelling through the wastewater treatment plant.

We are proud of Williams Lakers, and the improvements we’ve made in water consumption habits in the last few years, and we want to keep that ball rolling.

This is where the CCCS Water Wise Bike Brigade project comes in!

During the months of July and August, the Bike Brigade team comprised of three local university students, are setting up information tables and biking through all of Williams Lake’s neighbourhoods to provide information to residents on how to

improve their outdoor water usage when it is at its peak: during the summer.

Armed with bikes, Water Wise brochures, and a wealth of wise outdoor watering tools and techniques, the Bike Brigade team will visit every house within city limits to observe outdoor watering, and help residents maintain our success.

They can tell you, for example, how and when to water your lawn based on your address, local restrictions, and various watering techniques. If residents have any questions around wise outdoor water use, they are there to help find the answer! The Bike Brigade project’s main goal is to continue our positive trend towards becoming water wise super heroes! Saving our aquifer, and a little money along the way.

So if you see the Bike Brigade team out and about during the month of August, feel free to give a little wave!

And please watch out for them on the road.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please contact the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society at 250-398-7929 or waterwise@ccconserv.org.

COMMUNITY Xat’sull Heritage Village celebrates

Sean Glanville Staff Writer Xat’sull Heritage Village hosted a cultural event Sunday which included greeting the Rivershed Society team travelling the length of the Fraser River to raise awareness on environmental protection.

About 80 participants took part in traditional cultural activities such as story telling, guided tours of the village, workshops and traditional local food.

Before events got underway guests were treated to lunch featuring Musqueam salmon.

“We had some great activities throughout the afternoon,” said Miriam Schilling Xat’sull Community Economic Development Coordinator.

“Richard Duncan did some drumming, singing and story telling in our traditional pit house.

“We did a pit cooking demonstration shortly after the lunch and then had Crystal Williams teach a dreamcatcher workshop.”

Schilling said Duncan and Canim Band Chief Mike Archie taught guests how to play lehal and it was a great afternoon enjoyed by a group of people from Soda Creek, Williams Lake and region as well as international visitors from France, Germany and Korea.

Before the event started the gorgeous setting featuring traditional pit-houses and teepees along the banks of the Fraser River played host to a meeting with local and provincial First Nations dignitaries regarding the Mount Polley tailings spill.

Among the Rivershed team is NDP New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly. A major environmental critic, Donnelly has been raising public awareness of rivers in B.C. for years and in 1995 he swam the length of the Fraser River.

Charles Sellars, (front to back), Lori Sellars, Eva Sellars and Lyle Harry enjoy their lunch at the Xat’sull cultural celebration Sunday in Soda Creek.

Fin Donnelly and the Rivershed Society attend the event and also be able to speak with the media who attended our event,” Schilling said. “Protecting the watersheds seems more important than ever.”

The not-for-profit Rivershed team — consisting of members from across B.C. — were on day 12 of a 25 day Sustainable Living Leadership Program expedition when they reached Xat’sull Sunday.

The journey will see them travelling by canoe, raft, shuttle van and foot to cover the 1,400 km trip down the river to Vancouver.

Orden Mack of Williams Lake is one of five young sustainability leaders from around B.C. participating in this summer’s raft adventure down the Fraser River. Along the way participants learn about sustainable living and responsible community and resource development, while immersed in the ever-changing scenery of the Fraser River.

During their journey, the participants will also design a sustainability project to implement in their home communities upon their return.

Mack will document

the trip and work with the Moccasin Footprint Society to educate people about the positive contributions of Aboriginal people.

The crew started the journey from the Fraser River basin at

Mount Robson and canoed three days to McBride prior to driving their shuttle van to Soda Creek to participate in the Xat’sull cultural event Sunday.

After their Xat’sulll visit the team was

scheduled to visit Potato House in Williams Lake and participated in a DFO juvenile fish net demonstration at Sheep Creek Bridge before continuing their journey down the Fraser River.

Williams Lake mixed martial artist Gary Mangat (right) poses for a photo with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White during a June UFC event in Vancouver.

Mangat is scheduled to return to the cage on Saturday, Aug. 23, to fight Blair Oster in a 135-pound bantamweight clash in the co-main event of Battlefield Fight League 32 at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Richmond.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, Aug. 23

ASA Sportsman Series and All Class Racing Thunder Mountain Speedway hosts the fastest cars in the province as the ASA Sportsman Series cars return to Williams Lake after the originally scheduled event was cancelled due to rain.

Additionally, all of the local classes — bone stock, pro mini and street stock — will be in action.

Time trials start at 5 p.m. with racining to begin at 6 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 29 to Sunday, Aug. 31 BC Barrel Racers Provincial Finals

Mangat to return to cage in co-main event Sean Glanville Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Gary ‘Saint Lion’ Mangat will look to right the ship in 10 days time and get back to his winning ways inside the octagon. Mangat — who suffered the first loss of his Mixed Martial Arts career last September — makes his return on Saturday, Aug. 23 to fight Blair Oster in a bantamweight (135 pounds) bout in the co-main event of Battlefield Fight League 32 at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Richmond, B.C. Mangat (4-1) was scheduled to fight Oster (2-2) in May before Oster pulled out with an injury. Mangat knows little of his North Battleford, Sask. opponent but hopes the two Canadians can put on a show in front of Saint Lion’s home town fans.

“I know very little about Oster, just what I’ve seen on the internet. I’m not worried about him — I’ve been training for all possible outcomes,” said Mangat.

Mangat’s loss on Sept. 7 at Battlefield 25 — also at the River Rock Casino and Resort — to Spokane, WA.’s Josh Gow via TKO with just 30 seconds left in the third and final round

— forced him to go back to the drawing board for answers.

“The loss was much more a mental struggle than a physical one for me. I knew I wasn’t going to change how I train because I train as hard as anyone,” said Mangat. “I realized I needed to be more mentally balanced and be excited about the possibility of fighting and not burnt out like I was.”

The fight was billed as fight of the night saving a rather lacklustre card and many — including Mangat — felt the stoppage to the fight was premature.

The B.C. Athletic Commissioner Dave Maedel was watching the event cage-side which may have caused the referee to err on the side of caution.

“My overall mindset has me happier, excited, I’m trying to embrace the pressure instead of letting it consume me like it was,” said Mangat.

Mangat, a Columneetza Secondary school graduate, has trained the past couple years at the world famous Tri-Star MMA in Montreal with UFC stars including Georges St. Pierre and Rory MacDonald.

He returned home to Surrey this May and has been training for his most recent bout at Revolu-

tion MMA in Langley with the likes of ONE-FC World Champion Bibiano Fernandes.

“Fernandes is probably the best bantamweight outside of the UFC and he regularly travels to Washington to train with UFC Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson,” said Mangat.

“He’s really helped me put my game together for this fight.”

A change of scenery and some home cooking may be just what Mangat needs to bring out the best in him.

“I think the difference for me isn’t whether I’m training at TriStar or Revolution but being in Vancouver instead of Montreal,” said Mangat.

“In Montreal I was a small fish but when I’m back in Surrey I’m constantly reminded of all the sacrifices I’ve made to get here — people see me around town and always offer me their support.”

Part of the reason Mangat left for Montreal was to get away from all the hometown distraction. Now he is hoping to use his familiar settings to his benefit.

“Being here walking the same streets I did before I got into MMA — I went to White Rock the other day to walk along the

ocean and clear my mind — all these tiny things I’ve come to appreciate and it makes me want to work harder,” said Mangat.

After the fight, Mangat will decide whether he plans to remain in Surrey or head back to Montreal.

Back in Surrey — with a massive indo-Canadian population — Mangat has a huge following of supporters, many of whom will make the short drive to Richmond to cheer him on.

Mangat’s parents still reside in the lakecity and Gary says they will be in attendance but have no plans of heading south when they retire.

“My parents will be supporting me at the fight but I doubt my folks will ever move down here. They’re simple people and are happy in Williams Lake — they don’t like the traffic and all the big city stuff,” added Mangat.

Tickets to Battlefield 32 are available at www.ticketmaster. ca and prices range from $43$108. The main-event features pro featherweights (145 pounds) — both former champions — Jeremy Kennedy and Andre Da Silva.

The card features five pro and seven amateur bouts.

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.

Williams Lake youth chess player Kai Richardson, 11, recently played in the Canadian Youth Chess Championships and the Canadian Open.

Chess player takes game to Canadian championships Lakecity chess prodigy Kai Richardson recently took his game to the Canadian Youth Chess Championships and the Canadian Open in Montreal.

The CYCC featured seven rounds while the CO took place over nine rounds, both in the ballroom at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.

Kai, 11, competed in the under-12 section of the CYCC and faced off against 63 competitors. The tournament featured more than 300

players.

There, Kai won five of seven rounds, placing fifth overall.

“His crucial game, round six, if he had won it would have put him in a tie for first,” said Kai’s dad, Scott Richardson. “He lost placing him in fifth going into the last round.”

At the Canadian Open — which took part over five sections — there were 384 players from around the world. Kai competed in the under 2,000 section

winning five of nine matches.

“All his opponents except one were higher rated than he is,” Scott said. “Tough games.

Kai picked up some rating points putting him at 1,845. More than 1,900 will put him in the expert category.”

Overall, Kai won 10 out of 16 games with no draws through the course of the two tournaments.

“He’s doing amazingly well playing with the elite chess players, holding his own and winning.”

City installs energy-efficient ice at complex Sean Glanville Staff Writer The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex recently installed REALice Technology for both of their ice surfaces.

Created in Malmo, Sweden — REALice is cutting edge technology which sustains high quality of ice at a fraction of the energy costs.

Director of Community Services Geoff Paynton said around $30,000 in capital funds to purchase REALice were granted by the Cariboo Regional District’s community works fund devoted to green projects.

The cost of the REALice is anticipated to pay for itself between two to three years.

“If the product does everything it says which we are confident it will, this will be one of the better green projects we’ve done,” said Paynton.

“There’s not many investments that can pay for themselves in less than three years,” facility maintenance coordinator Garry Breck added.

REALice works by removing micro-bubbles through degassing of air bubbles resulting water to flow more easily over the ice with better heat transfer.

“With REALice the technology gets rid of the oxygen through a vortex chamber and pulverizes all the elements in the water beforehand so only regular tap water at about

Sean Glanville photo

Facility Maintenance Director, Garry Breck, (left) and Director of Community Services, Geoff Paynton, display their recently installed REALice technology. The Swedish-made invention eliminates oxygen and other elements in water that cause air-bubbles without heating the water. Allowing the Zamboni to use water at tap temperature instead of 140 degrees Fahrenheit will save thousands of dollars on heating costs. REALice also creates clearer and thicker ice.

60 degrees Fahrenheit is needed to flood the ice,” said Breck.

A major cost in building ice goes into annually heating hundreds of thousands of gallons of water up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit when the Zamboni goes over the ice. Hot water is typically the way air bubbles are removed.

“By no longer having to heat the water and just use water right out of the tap will save a ton of money,” Paynton said.

Other advantages are REALice creates harder, clearer ice and softer water.

Breck says they can keep their slabs of ice thinner moving from a thickness of about 1-1.25 inches thick as opposed to around 1.5 inches. This will save money on the cost of

cooling the ice.

The softening of the water will also make a huge impact by cutting down on the fog on the ice service and hardly having to run the dehumidifiers.

“Here in Williams Lake we have very hard water which can create the ice to fog up and we use dehumidifiers at each ends of the two rinks to deal with this.

We think now we will only need to run the dehumidifiers maybe 10 or 15 per cent of what we previously needed to,” said Breck.

The ice clarity has been an issue as well as the lines on the ice becoming very blurry.

“When the Stampeders or midgets pound the ice really hard during practice or games you can barely see the lines and the logos –

with the new, denser ice it should stay much clearer,” said Paynton.

REALice is currently used in more than 300 rinks in Europe and Williams Lake will be the 14th rink in B.C. to use the technology which has received rave reviews.

“Everybody loves the technology and no rinks have taken it out.

It was used at the IIHF World Hockey Championships in Sweden last year and we think it will soon become the norm for every rink to have REALice,” said Breck.

Castlegar, B.C. Installed REALice last season and they are about the same size arena with a similar season length to Williams Lake of 250 days. Castlegar saw noticeable cost effectiveness in their first

season which the lakecity hopes to emulate.

Their ice flooding temperature saw a decrease from 140 degrees to 48 degrees Fahrenheit and their slab temperature set point increased to 24.5 degrees up from 21 degrees Fahrenheit.

This resulted in saving 520 GJ of natural gas and 85,000 kWh in electricity.

Breck installed the technology at the complex himself and workers are currently in the process of adding the first layers to the ice.

The rinks open Monday, Aug. 18 with hockey camps going on so they will be the first skaters to try the new ice.

“We’re hoping for some great reviews — this is a great thing — not only will it save us a few bucks but it will improve the ice and help the environment as well,” said Paynton.

Archers await Team Canada selections Cariboo Archers continued to aim for a berth on Team Canada last week at the 2014 Canadian National Archery Championships in Lac La Biche, Alta.

“Many people were talking about the probability of four archers from one club being selected to Team Canada for the 3D Archery World Championships for 2014,” said Cariboo Archer Al Campsall, who is vying for a spot on the team alongside Jessica Mobbs, Dan Mobbs and Fred Streleoff.

The team selection, however, is currently delayed because Quebec has not yet hosted its provincial championships this year and is not slated until the Aug. 2324 weekend.

That said, based on their performances at provincials and nationals, all four are favourites

to be chosen to Team Canada.

At the 3D Archery Championships last week Jessica sniped a silver medal in the women’s longbow division, Streleoff and Dan picked up gold and silver medals, respectively, in the men’s instinctive recurve division and Campsall won his 12th Canadian championship in the master’s open category.

Later in the week during the field archery and target archery components of the Canadian National Archery Championships Campsall continued his dominance.

On Wednesday, Aug. 6, Campsall also won the field archery event, shattering the Canadian record by 17 points.

“Field archery is shot in the woods including up and down hills,” Campsall said.

“Unlike 3D the true

distances are marked in five-metre increments from 10 to 60 metres.

The hill shooting requires extrapolation of horizontal distances since gravity acts on the arrows in the vertical plane only. The steeper the incline, the closer you must set your sight pin.”

Following that Campsall completed the clean sweep of the national championships, winning the target championships on Aug. 8-9 shooting a personal best score in the 1440 (36 arrows shot at each of 70, 60, 50 and 30 metres for a total off 144 arrows).

“However, I found myself behind the perennial Canadian champion by seven points,” he said.

On Saturday morning the duo shot a 720 (72 arrows shot at 50 metres).

“I shot very well coming from behind to win by a good margin,” he said.

Later that night Campsall was told by one of the Archery Canada officials

that no archer in the history of Archery Canada had ever completed the feat

of winning the Canadian 3D, grand prix, field and target archery champion-

ships in the same year.

“I was pretty excited about this,” he said.

A forest firefighters’ truck of choice

By Ian Harwood

Forest fire conditions in this province are at an all-time high and the wood is very dry.

The men and women that fight these fires every year rely on their vehicles to take them to the battlefield.

Remote back roads and sometimes the forest floor are the roads on which they must travel.

There is a variety of vehicles in the firefighter fleet but lately they have been using the Ford Super-Duty as the prime support vehicle. The new 2015 version is powerful enough to haul heavy trailers and large enough to double as a mobile office.

I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side.
