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.

Lightning-caused fires keep crews busy Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) responded to another six new lightning-caused wildfires during the weekend of May 29 to May 31, said Emily Epp, communication specialist with the Wildfire Management Branch Monday. “We had a couple in each of our planning zones. We discovered

two Friday, two Saturday and two Sunday, but they were all small fires.” Four of the wildfires have been put out and crews are responding to the fifth one located at the north side of Young Lake east of 70 Mile House and the sixth one at Bowling Point on the North Arm of Quesnel Lake. During the weekend of May 22-24, there were 10 lightning-
caused fires, with the majority of them sparked in the 100 Mile House area. “We are seeing a surprising amount of lightning-caused wildfires for this time of year,” Epp said. “On average we see about seven, and some years it is much less. Last year we had one lightning-caused fire.” The CFC expects during the next few days that it will be

responding to small lightning-caused fires, Epp said, adding the centre is very appreciative of the public’s quick reporting so the fires can be kept small. Air patrols are also done periodically over areas that have been hit with the most lightning to keep an eye out for any smoke. The Cariboo Fire Centre has responded to 69 fires since April 1, 2015.
Vacant hotel vandalized Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The vacant Slumber Lodge has taken another beating after vandals broke in and did extensive damage. For almost three years the building’s windows and doors have been boarded up after the city ordered the owners to block access to the site. There was also a small fire at one end
of the building in June 2012. “It’s been a problem with ongoing incidents,” Mayor Walt Cobb said Tuesday. “People have been getting in there and ripping off the plywood.” City workers went in Monday to do some more boarding up and the bill will be sent to the owners, Cobb said. “I had been been trying to work with the owners because I
thought I had potential purchaser. But now I think the building is almost past the stage of being salvaged.” The owner lives in the Lower Mainland, is in his 80s, and is turning the motel over to his children. “Obviously they are a fairly wealthy family because the kids are not interested,” Cobb said. “The last time I talked with him he said they were off in
Hawaii and didn’t really care and I’m in my 80s and not interested in starting to rebuild.” The city will have to work with its bylaw enforcement office to see if the building can be condemned and maybe force the owner to rip it down, he added. “It’s dangerous and someone’s going to get in there, start another fire and there’s going to be a real problem.”

Suspect arrested after pretending to be US Marshal A driver is facing a charge of undue care and attention after he fell asleep while driving a tractor trailer along Highway 97 in Williams Lake on Thursday. “At 3:34 in the morning, May 28, we got a call the truck was lying on its side on Signal Point Road,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said. “The driver was trapped in the cab with minor injuries but RCMP members were able to get him out.” The driver, who was able to walk, went to Cariboo Memorial Hospital for minor injuries.
RCMP have charged the driver of a tractor trailer unit with driving without due care and attention after he crashed onto Signal Point Road May 28.
*** A local man was arrested Friday in Williams Lake after threatening a business owner while pretending to be a U.S. Marshal, RCMP said. The Williams Lake RCMP attended a weapons complaint on Marwick Drive at 6:42 a.m. Friday morning. “The caller advised that an unknown man entered his business
and identified himself as a United States federal officer,” the RCMP said. “The suspect stated he was looking for two specific men whom he claimed were wanted for extortion and murder.” When the business owner did not take the man seriously, the suspect pulled out what appeared to be a handgun from a holster and pointed it at the busi-

ness owner, the RCMP said, adding the suspect eventually left the business, leaving the owner physically unharmed. Investigators were able to identify and arrest the suspect without incident at around 10:30 a.m. Friday morning. While several firearm and threat-related charges will be recommended, the police said they believe this is an
isolated incident and the public is not currently at risk. *** Police seized a weapon after an investigation led them to the building next to the Station House Gallery. Early Friday police received a call, found a vehicle parked outside with its trunk open, and later arrested a suspect. “We went back on
a search warrant and found the weapon inside the building,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said. *** On Sunday morning at 9:10 a.m. a driver heading north on Highway 97 turned left onto Carson Drive and crashed into a parked Toyoto RAV4. “He was charged with impaired driving,” said Byron.

Privatizing laundry doesn’t wash with council
Needs volunteers for judging, 1st Aid, cleanup and general duties. We also need a group or groups for security and bands.
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council has joined other communities across the region by opposing the proposed privatization of laundry services by Interior Health. “We are talking about 175 jobs being lost in our region,” Coun. Scott Nelson said before council voted unanimously to support keeping laundry services local at its regular meeting May 26. “It is important those jobs stay here in rural B.C,” Nelson said, noting Cariboo Memorial Hospital is a major employer and economic generator with more than 350 employees. “We’re looking at an upgrade for our hospital right now and it’s important we make sure those jobs stay here.” Cautioning council about “going down a slippery slope,” by trying to dictate how IH should run its business, Mayor Walt Cobb said he wouldn’t want IH to tell the city how to run its business. “I don’t want to see the jobs lost for sure,” Cobb said. “I await to hear the information on how they think they are going to save money.” During the month of June, IH will review the bids for laundry services that have come in from companies in the Lower Mainland and one from Alberta,

City council has come out opposed to the proposed privatization of laundry services by Interior Health for its facilities, including Cariboo Memorial Hospital. said Alan Davies, regional director of support services for IH. “We are expecting by the end of July and early August to know if IH wants to move forward on it,” he said of the proposed privatization. IH’s request for laundry proposals is being done in partnership with Vancouver, Coast and Fraser Health Authority, Davies said. “Their contract for laundry services is up in November and they basically have to make a decision with which vendor they would like to choose.” With laundry equipment aging, the challenge for IH is looking for money to replace it in the future, and matching those requests against those
for medical equipment, Davies said. In hospitals the size of those in Williams Lake or 100 Mile House, the cost of a small commercial washing machine is about $25,000 and half of that for a drier, much less than the $1.5 million to replace the tunnel machines used in larger hospitals. If the laundry services are centralized, Davies confirmed it will impact jobs related to washing hospital linens, however, the hospital would still need someone to ensure the residents’ personal laundry is all taken care of. So far city council has not been provided a business plan by IH to make a case for centralizing laundry ser-
vices, said Coun. Ivan Bonnell. “It’s a public service, and there should not

or unemployed workers, the longterm impacts of any job are not high on their worry list. If the kids need shoes, and the mortgage payment is due, that comes first. Besides, all those government bureaucracies will make sure everything is Done Right. Right? Well probably not. In her recent report, “Managing the Cumulative Effects of Natural Resource Development in BC,” Auditor General Carol Bellringer says our provincial government has not “adequately addressed” the long-term environmental impact of its resource-development decisions. Those decisions are being made without understanding all the environmental, social and cultural consequences. The Ministry of EvFrench erything ( Forests, Connection Lands and Natural Resources) is Diana French working on a “cumulative affects management” plan but it won’t be fully implemented until 2021. In the meantime we’re fracking and flooding, digging things up and cutting them down at a great rate. The proposed Site C Dam on the Peace River is one example of barging ahead regardless of the consequences. In spite of facing seven court challenges and cries of outrage from all directions, the government expects $8.8 billion construction of the dam to begin this the summer. This column isn’t long enough to list all the problems associated with the dam, but having no independent examination of the cost or even the need for the project was not a good start. Exempting it from BC Utilities Commission review was bad enough but then the province pulled 5,5000 hectares of prime farmland out of the ALR with no input or discussion from anyone. The dam’s 125 square km reservoir will have “adverse impacts” (to put it mildly) on the land, people, and wildlife and ecosystems. Heritage Canada has classified the Peace River as one of the most endangered places in the country. So why is the government so hell bent on building the dam without even looking at alternatives? I guess because it can. PS Bellringer seems an appropriate name for an auditor general. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint
Election act changes coming The BC Liberal government is in the process of adopting the Election Amendment Act, which will give candidates and political parties the ability to access private data about voters from past provincial elections. The NDP, unfortunately, has gone along with the basic thrust of this law. The most principled opposition has come from Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, and independent Vicki Huntington has also been challenging the law. The main purpose behind the law is to allow well-funded political parties, notably the BC Liberals and NDP, to “mine” voter data and craft campaigns to encourage their own supporters to come to the polls, while at the same time (and likely quite secretly) coming up with ways of targeting specific supporters of the other parties from casting votes. Along the way, they will be digging into voters’ privacy in a way that has caused the Information and Privacy Commissioner great concerns. It is unfortunate that there has been so little attention paid to this. The amend-

ment, introduced by Weaver, called for a delay in implementing the law until there was more public consultation. While the NDP supported the amendment, the BC Liberal majority voted against it. B.C. is, in some ways, the wild west of politics. There are no restrictions on donations from businesses, associations, wealthy individuals or unions to political campaigns. While there are limits on spending during campaigns, the most crucial and strategic spending is often done before the campaign is underway. Now the political parties are being handed another tool that, in a day and age when it is easier than ever to collect a raft of data about individuals, will allow them to hone their message and specifically target individuals. Citizens should always be suspicious when governments bring in new laws that are not even on the radar screen for ordinary people. This law is an invasion of privacy and will only lead to political manipulation, all in the name of winning an election. -Black Press

his time of year, we come together to celebrate the many young men and women who have achieved so much academically, artistically, through athletics and the many other accomplishments we recognize. Whether it’s school administrators and teachers or family and friends — the support that we have in our community of Williams Lake is so special. That is one of the great things about living here, is the feeling of community: the parents and community members that have been able to watch the many graduates grow up and have supported these young individuals get to the next chapter in their life. Many around graduation are especially asked, MLA “What are you Musings going to do when you are finished Donna Barnett school?” For some, this can be a frustrating question, but that is the beauty of living in a province that is full of so many opportunities and resources to make that choice easier. Some of our young people will go on to university, and most will raise their own families. Some will take up a trade and some have that entrepreneurial spirit that the pioneers of our land was founded on and may even start their own business. The possibilities really are endless for what lays in the future ahead, however, all British Columbians deserve the opportunity to access education and skills training. To meet our province’s future demand for skilled workers, we need to maximize the potential of the young people about to enter the workforce and ensure we have sufficient skilled trades people to meet B.C.’s labour market demands is critical to keeping our economy diverse, strong and growing. May each of those taking this next chapter in life look at graduating as a building block — a stepping stone — toward a long, happy and prosperous life. I have no doubt that each and every one of the graduates in Cariboo Chilcotin will seize the many resources and opportunities of what our province has to offer. I’d like to wish all those in SD 27 the best of luck in their future endeavors and extend a warm congratulations to class of 2015! You did it! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

providing them an extra set of eyes and ears for our community. This program has enhanced our senses because we are always looking for the small details wherever we go that might lead us to events where the RCMP are called to for assistance. As of right now, Chris and I are training two youths who have a lot of potential with the program and wherever life takes them. Simran has been a part of the program for three months and Raj is just reaching his first month. Bob has also informed me that three more youths have been recruited — two females and one male who have completed the RCMP Youth Academy. We definitely have our hands full now, which is a very good thing since most of our members are older and retired and there are not a lot of members as it is.
I have been a member of Citizens on Patrol since November 2012. When I was in my senior year in high school, Bob McIntosh had already recruited Chris Dowe. When Bob explained the program to me, it interested me so I joined and was inspired to join the RCMP Youth Academy in spring 2013. That also helped me make my career choice. I am one of four original members at the youth program that started with this program and continued with it. My partner Chris and I have had lots of experiences and opportunities being a part of the program. It has opened our eyes and we have seen both sides of life from the upper class to our regular street people that we interact with. We have had lots of interactions with RCMP and helping them by
It has come time to invest in the future of the program and start training youth and pass along the outstanding knowledge that the older members have, and hopefully prepare the youth for similar situations that they might encounter. This program is not only a bonus to Williams Lake and the RCMP, it is a bonus to the youth to give them a sense of purpose by letting them see that life can be difficult, but there is always someone there to assist them whenever and wherever. I have experienced this for myself and it is my turn for me to pass my knowledge forward as this has defined my purpose in life. I give Bob my thanks for being my extraordinary mentor and the best of friends. Dyllan Wall Williams Lake
Postal cutbacks hurt Chilcotin Editor:
ban centres is forcing people out of cities into rural communities across B.C. Slashing postal hours and moving delivery depots in rural communities before the upcoming election make this a cheap political football. Rural communities depend on tourism operations, ranches, post offices, sawmills, medical staff, small businesses and schools to become economically competitive and viable. Cutting our postal services is short sighted and stupid! The TTT objects to this government’s attempts to monetize postal services by saying Canada Post has a “responsibility to be self-suffi-
Re: Cut-back in postal services in Rural BC The Communities of the West Chilcotin in B.C. have been told there will be a reduction of postal service. This is not acceptable; we are being penalized for living in rural communities. The Canada Post Corporation Five-point Action Plan has led to the privatization of our rural post offices here in the West Chilcotin. Result: erosion of postal services to Tatlayoko Lake and Tatla Lake. We object. The rising cost of housing in ur-
cient” … in order to “protect taxpayers.” Health care, education and postal services, among others, are taxpayer funded on purpose. They are vital services that help connect the country. We believe that all rural Canadians, no matter where we live, are entitled to a full service, federallyoperated post office in our communities.

Barnett proclaims June Invasive Species Action Month Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In her capacity as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett was in Williams Lake Friday to proclaim Invasive Species Action Month in the province of B.C. “Several ministries are working on this together with different events to raise awareness,” Barnett said. “There is environmental and economic damage

that invasive plants and animals can cause if they become established in British Columbia.” Barnett met with Gail Wallin, the executive director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C., at the Scout Island boat launch to make the proclamation. After the proclamation, Wallin presented Barnett with a hotoff-the press poster that encourages people not to let aquatic pets loose in waterways. “We will have fridge magnets coming next week,” Wallin said. People can learn more about non-native plants and animals
that can damage the province’s ecosystems by downloading the free “Report-a-Weed” app for iPhones or Android smartphones. Its easy-to-use interface allows users to submit reports on invasive plant sightings anywhere in B.C., upload photos of suspicious plants they find and also view previously recorded sightings: http://www.reportaweedbc.ca/ At the end of March the government expanded its response to the potential introduction of invasive zebra and quagga mus-
sels with a $1.3-million program focused on early detection and rapid response. Although live specimens of these mussels have never been detected in B.C., this program will boost protection for B.C.’s waterways with: three mobile boat decontamination units, six specially trained auxiliary conservation officers, 24 new highway signs to be prominently displayed at key entry points to B.C., and increased monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels. The ability to report suspected invasive mussels to the Re-
port All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline. There will also be enhanced public education and outreach activities for the “Clean Drain Dry” boat-cleaning protocol. “The proclamation of Invasive Species Action Month is a great opportunity for all of us to learn more about invasive species and the damage they can do,” Barnett said. “I encourage British Columbians to get involved by reviewing the Clean, Drain, Dry procedures and by trying the Report-A-Weed app.”

New daycare for Women’s Contact Society The Women’s Contact Society will receive a $500,000 grant from the provincial government to build a new daycare. Its Kidcare Daycare will move from the present location behind Lake City Secondary’s Columneetza campus to a space between the school bus loop and Nesika Elementary School on the north side of Columneetza. Under sunny skies Friday afternoon, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett made the official funding announcement on behalf of the Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development. “This new facility will provide 55 new child care spaces,” Barnett said. “It’s an exciting day for Williams Lake.” Specifically there will be 16 spaces for children aged 3-5, 15 for beforeand after-school care, and 24 multi-age spaces, Barnett added. Women’s Contact Society executive director Irene Willsie described the new facility as a good partnership between the society and School District 27. “Nesika has a fabulous playground area that we’ll be able to utilize so that’s a cost saving,” she said. The entire cost of the project is $787,000, however, Spruce Lee Construction Ltd., the successful bidder, has stepped up as a financial partner and the Women’s Contact Society will be contributing its own funds as well, Willsie said. With the new daycare, there will be more options available to working parents because the hours of operation will be from 5 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. In putting together a business plan to apply for the funding, the WCS looked at information from Stats Canada that determined more than 42 per cent of the workforce in Williams Lake works atypical hours. Further observation of job postings in De-
cember 2014 and January 2015, showed 78 per cent of the jobs advertised were for atypical hours. Additionally there will be a garden at the new facility and a gardening program for children and parents. “All produce will be used in the daycare and given to parents to take home,” Willsie said. Staff also took into consideration investment statistics from the TD Bank where a top economist reported every dollar invested in childcare translates into a $1.49 to $2.78 return. When Kidcare Daycare first opened it was because the WCS had a dream to provide daycare for young parents to be able to continue with school. It has been successful, Willsie said, noting there are staff members at the daycare today who used the program as young parents, finished high school, went on to study early childhood educa-

A ministry spokesperson said $500,000 is the maximum a non-profit child care program can receive under the Child Care Major Capital Funding program.

childcare spaces by 2016 and under its BC Early Years Strategy, the Province is committed to supporting the creation of 13,000 new spaces throughout the province by 2020. The ministry received a total of 188 complete applications by the application deadline. It is anticipated the

Proof wins zone drama festival The Studio Theatre’s production of Proof was selected by adjudicator Amy Baskin to compete at the Mainstage provincial festival in Kamloops in July. Proof was one of three plays staged as part of the 2015 Central Interior Zone Drama Festival held at the Studio Theatre over the weekend. In one of her adjudications Amy Baskin noted that she wasn’t judging the plays against each other but watching to see how well each production met the intention of the writer. While the Studio Theatre’s two entries Still Stands the House and Proof were in competition with each other for the coveted spot at Mainstage, some people worked behind the scenes on both plays. Given all of this collaboration Baskin awarded the Studio Theatre the Incomparable Mr. Wilson Zone Award and Curt Sprickerhoff an award for services that go above and beyond the call of duty for the act of theatre.

The song is a lively little fun tune with actions for kids to sing along with and starts

Their musical style is a mix of pop rock, folk-acoustic with splashes of other musical influence in between. Over the years, the
group has maintained its core values as a Christian band and has played sporadically at fundraisers and events throughout the Cariboo region. Since its inception, three of the members have been married and had children, which has greatly reduced the focus of their musical involve-
ment and switched to family centred lives. Enjoyable listening for most anybody, the Wittenberg concert takes place at Cariboo Bethel Church on Tuesday, June 23, starting at 7 p.m. In Williams Lake tickets are available at Hopkins Design Studio across from Cool

STAYING WITH AN EXERCISE PROGRAM Statistics show that many people start an exercise program but don’t stay with it. This is because most set unrealistic goals and cannot stay with them. Planning a program beyond your abilities is a sure way to fail. If your goals consist of weight loss, 2-5 pounds a month is a safe amount of weight to loss. Set specific activity goals and stick with them. Each month you should review your goals and change accordingly. A good starting point is ten minutes of aerobic activity three times a week and then increase as you become stronger.

When the new town of Williams Lake was laid out in 1919, apparently nobody planned for there to be any deaths in the village, since no land for a cemetery was pre-empted or even c o n s i d e r e d .T h e P.G.E. Railway, which owned all the land around Williams Lake had given up the land for the town, and were very reluctant to part with any more unless they were paid well for it. So for a few years, burials were quite difficult to arrange. If you were Catholic, you could be buried at St. Joseph’s Mission Cemetery, south of the Sugar Cane Reserve. That cemetery was consecrated in 1866, and is the oldest one in the Williams Lake area. Many of our early pioneers and their families are buried there — Peter Dunlevy, who

was one of the first to find gold in the area, Charles Eagle, the founder of the Onward Ranch, many from the Pinchbeck and Felker families, several Oblate priests and brothers to mention a few. When the 1921 fire destroyed most of the main part of the early town of Williams Lake, two cowboys, Johnny Salmon and Benard Weetman were killed while fighting the blaze. Their graves too can be found at the Mission Cemetery. If you were Protestant, you could be buried either at the Soda Creek Cemetery or at the 150 Mile Cemetery. The Soda Creek site was a small graveyard which is now quite overgrown with headboards that are difficult or impossible to read. When this smaller cemetery became full, a much larger site was designated on the side hill across the road. The one pioneer grave in the original cemetery which has survived well for the past 140 years is that of Thomas Menefee, who was another of the successful early gold seekers, and who compounded his fortune running roadhouses and ranching. He was the man said to be responsible for the rerouting of the Cariboo Wagon Road around the first
Williams Lake settlement when he refused to pay a fee to the road contractor. His granite headstone reads, “Sacred to the memory of T.J. Menefee, Native of Kentucky, U.S. Born Nov. 1829 Died July 1873.” Another grave, up in the newer part of the cemetery, is a small monument which stands over the resting place of Captain Frank Odin, the skipper of the river steamship Charlotte, who died of a heart attack at the helm of his vessel on June 7, 1899. He was only 35 years old. This cemetery is still in use today. If you take the time to walk through it, you will recognize many names from the Williams Lake area, and you will notice a mix of old and new burial plots. The 150 Mile Cemetery was located on a hill behind the 150 Mile House and Store. You can still see some old graves on the hillside across Highway 97 from Marshall’s General Store. This was the graveyard for the 150 Mile area from the early 1880s until the mid 1920s. It was never designated by the provincial government as a cemetery, rather it was land that was donated by a local rancher. Consequently the site was then and

still is on private land. Many of the grave sites have been destroyed, and there is no public access. The grave with the white picket fence that you can see from the road was fixed up in 2012 as part of the 150 Mile’s 150 Year celebrations. It belongs to George Johnston, who was the village blacksmith for several years. He was also on the local school board and a member of the town council. Near his grave is a small halfsized burial plot. This one likely belongs to Marion Hamilton, the youngest daughter of roadhouse owner Gavin Hamilton. She disappeared one day in 1881 presumably kidnapped, and her body was found a few days later. No one was ever caught or charged with the murder. The 150 Mile Cemetery also had a Chinese section. One of those graves contained the remains of a man who was a passenger when one of the large Winton touring cars operated by the B.C. Express Company went off the Cariboo Road near 150 Mile in 1911. He was killed in the accident, the first fatal car accident in the Cariboo, and was buried in the local graveyard. It should also be noted that many people were not buried in cemeteries at all. Travellers who died on route to and from the goldfields were usually buried alongside the road or trail. Ranchers often had a spot designated on their land where family members or loved ones were laid to rest. A good example of that is the grave of William Pinchbeck on the Stampede Grounds overlooking the west end of Williams Lake. Most people are aware that Pinchbeck is buried there, but not too many know that a second person is also interred at the site. In September 1921, a rather unsavoury
character named Jack Aitchison was killed in a shooting incident in a cabin on First Avenue. Although he was a Catholic, the circumstances of his death (and his wanton lifestyle prior to his death) meant that he could not be buried at the Mission. There was no other place nearby, so he was buried alongside William Pinchbeck. There was no one to care for his gravesite, and the headboard gradually deteriorated and now there is no trace of his grave at the site. Which brings us back to the problem that the young town had — the need for a cemetery, but no land upon which to locate it. Thus it was in 1923, the village sent a telegram to Premier John Oliver stating “We are expecting a man to die in a few days and we wonder what we should do with the corpse.” This telegram made the rounds of the legislature in Victoria, but probably would not have resulted in any action except that the Vancouver press picked up the story. It proved to be so embarrassing for the Premier and his party (remember that the Premier was heavily involved in planning the town of Williams Lake) that pressure was put on the PGE to release some land on the outskirts of town for the much needed cemetery. The Williams Lake Times (the precursor to the Tribune) ended its story on the topic with the words “Williams Lake got its cemetery.” And that’s how I’ll end mine.

Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report. The report found a 10-per-cent vacancy rate for assisted living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends. “A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which
is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.” Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes. Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said. Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a minimum of $325 left to the resident. Mackenzie recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more low-income seniors to use assisted living rather than going directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province. A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for remote and rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing.

The Wescar Late Model Touring Series flag man directs traffic during a tour stop at Thunder Mountain Speedway Saturday. It was the Williams Lake track’s season opener and also featured bone stocks, pro minis and street stocks in local classes.
Wescar racing hits pavement for opener Angie Mindus Staff Writer Dry weather and fast cars greeted race fans at Thunder Mountain Speedway’s season opener Saturday night. Featuring the popular Wescar Late Model Series 100-lap main event, Thunder Mountain president Bob Lowen said the evening didn’t disappoint. “I never had one complaint. It was awesome,” Lowen said, adding he was thankful rain didn’t make an appearance at this year’s event. “It’s a gamble every year. This year we got lucky.” Lowen said Wescar drivers put on a great show. After roaring around the track for 100 laps, and with only three restarts throughout, Harrison Hot Springs’ No. 18 Ian Graham nabbed his fourth consecutive Wescar Late Model Touring Series win dating back to last season. Not to be outdone, former Williams Lake resident, No. 19 Korbin Thomas, was hot on his heels in second place while third place went to No. 27 Quesnel’s Mark Berriau. Williams Lake’s Ryley Seibert, No. 9, picked up fifth after a solid fourth-place outing during race one of the series earlier in Vernon. Next up for the speedway is Fan Appreciation Night June 13, followed by the popular Stampede weekend racing June 26-28.
The third annual Caribou Brain Injury Society fundraising golf tournament goes from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at BellE-Acres on June 13. The fun event will have prizes for first, second and third, plus prizes for first-place couple, first-place mini golfer, longest putt and closest to the pin. The tournament will feature teams of two and is $15 per person or $25 a couple.
Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21 Two Ladies Classic
Top: No. 19, former Williams Lake resident Korbin Thomas and Quesnel’s Mark Berriau overtake Williams Lake’s Ryley Seibert (No. 9). Bottom: Thunder Mountain fans enjoy perfect weather conditions for the races Saturday night, unlike previous years when the May event has had to be either postponed or cancelled due to rain.
The Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club’s Two Ladies Classic is coming up June 20-21 at the local links. Entry fee is $110 per person and includes a Friday night mixer, 36 holes of golf, a Saturday night dinner, sponsored hole prizes both days, sponsored hole-in-one prizes, a continental breakfast both days and a deuce pot both days. Saturday night’s theme is Dynamic Duos, so come dressed as your favourite duo. There is a $25 practice round on Friday for nonmembers.

Williams Lake’s Paul Rohner, 16, following the Harper Mountain Children of the Unicorn downhill race May 24 where Rohner captured a first-place finish.
Rohner wins back-to-back races Williams Lake’s Paul Rohner continues to blaze a trail in the mountain biking world. On May 24 Paul, 16, joined 100 racers from around B.C. and Alberta for the Children of the Unicorn downhill race at Harper Mountain near Kamloops. “He showed a prime example of his true speed and skills beating everybody by posting the fastest time the event has sever seen,” said Paul’s dad, Erwin. “Paul did not only
win his junior men’s category by 30 seconds, but also managed to be ahead by more than six seconds to the next best time overall.” Paul’s winning time was four minutes and 36 seconds for the three-kilometre descent. Next, on May 30, Paul took to a crosscountry marathon race — the 37-kilometre Nimby 50 in Pemberton. The race, however, almost ended in disaster for Paul after he suffered severe de-
hydration on the first major climb. “He got caught up racing with others and missed to exchange drinking bottles,” Erwin said. “With more than 19 kilometres to go he started to feel very ill and it prompted him to empty his stomach, his mind telling him to quit, but he somehow kept going.” Warm temperatures also began to take their toll on other competitors, Erwin said, as several racers crashed on the course.
“After two hours and 48 minutes he crossed the finish line,” Erwin said. Close to 400 racers from around the country took part in the event — the fastest time in the pro elite men’s category being two hours and 15 minutes. Paul, meanwhile, won his 14- to 19-year-old division and was four minutes ahead of second place. Next up for Paul is the B.C. Cup Downhill at Silver Star near Vernon.

Three lakecity cowboys and cowgirls rode their way to Valemount last weekend for the last high school rodeo before finals. Kaylee Billyboy, Melanie Wintjes and Wyatt Armes all competed. In breakaway roping Billyboy secured
a fast 3.7-second time for first place Sunday, after placing third on Saturday with a 5.1-second rope, qualifying her for finals in breakaway roping to go along with a pole bending final qualification. “I moved from 15th to eighth in the standings in the south,” Bil-
lyboy said. Armes showed grit in his tie-down roping and has also qualified for boys cutting. Wintjes, meanwhile, won the Queen event and will also be competing at the BC High School Rodeo Finals, along with her teammates, June 11-14 in Kamloops.

eighth fastest qualifying time in the morning. “I felt good out of 47 riders.” In the first moto of the day Hoyer worked his way up to the eighth spot, staying there for the remainder of the race. “Going into moto two I felt good, as well,” he said. “The game plan for the weekend was to have fun. That’s why I do this sport.” Starting in ninth, Hoyer managed to improve on his first race, taking a sixth-place finish. “Even though it wasn’t a podium, I’m very happy with that six,” he said. “I worked hard and left nothing on the table. I can’t lie — I was feeling a little sore for Monday morning work.” Next up for Hoyer, who said he plans to race just two national series events this year, is race three of the series in Calgary at the Wild Rose MX Park on June 15.

Obituaries A Celebration of Life for the late Herb Mussell, from 150 Mile House, will be held on Saturday, June 6th at 1:00 pm at the 150 Mile House fire hall. Refreshments to follow.
Mel Beckman Melvin (Mel) Douglas Beckman passed away April 11, 2015 surrounded by family. He will be greatly missed by his loving wife, Joan, his two sons; Doug (Stacey) and David (Lisa). Mel was blessed with 8 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren who will all deeply miss him. Mel was born on August 7, 1939 in Princeton, BC. He moved to Williams Lake in 1950 where he finished his schooling. He married Joan (Hamel) in 1959 and together raised their two sons. After purchasing a trailer transporting company he eventually saw opportunity for mobile home sales to be established in the Cariboo. In 1964, Mel opened Hamel Mobile Homes with his father-in-law, Fred Hamel. After Fred’s retirement, Mel and Joan continued in business for nearly 40 years expanding into several other locations throughout BC. They were passionate about their growing business and their time spent in the mobile home industry brought many life adventures and traveling. For 15 years, they enjoyed life to its fullness as “snowbirds” in Arizona always returning to their home in Williams Lake. The family wishes to extend special thanks to the wonderful staff at the Deni House where Mel spend his last few years. He received such amazing, loving care and we will be forever grateful. A celebration of life will be held on June 5, 2015 at 11:00 am at the Pioneer Complex.. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
