Gunsmith receives conditional sentence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Tatla Lake gunsmith was given a sixmonth conditional sentence and a 10year prohibition for possessing firearms in Williams Lake provincial court Thursday after being charged for gun trafficking almost two years ago.

Gerald Kirby, 65, was arrested on Aug. 23, 2013 following an investigation by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. into the alleged selling of firearms to people without licenses and firearms with overcapacity magazines.

As part of the investigation, two undercover operators registered at Kirby’s Tatla Lake Manor two days before his arrest.

Each operator purchased a firearm without a license and an overcapacity magazine.

After Kirby’s arrest police executed a search warrant, seizing 186 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Before Kirby was sentenced Thursday,

www.wltribune.com A3

Crown Counsel Paolo Konge requested a nine to 12-month custodial sentence, 24 months probation and a 10-year firearm prohibition.

Defence lawyer David Jenkins sought either a conditional discharge or a conditional sentence.

Crown argued as a well-known gunsmith involved with bringing possession and acquisition licensing of firearms programs to his community, Kirby should be held to a high degree of moral culpability.

“It is not a case of an individual who is ignorant of the law,” Konge said. “It is a case of an individual who knows better but chooses not to do better.”

Jenkins, however, told the Tribune Friday that living in Tatla Lake Kirby didn’t have access to resources he would have had elsewhere, but also said he wasn’t making excuses for him.

“It was just a very poor decision by Gerald in circumstances where he was trying to make ends meet,” Jen-

kins said. “Tatla Lake Manor isn’t the fanciest establishment, but to his credit everyone from 100 miles around went to bat for him because he was so community minded.”

In his 46 years of being a lawyer, Jenkins said the 53 character references Kirby received were as decent, as fine and as good as any he has have ever seen.

“There wasn’t one person who had a bad thing to say to him and every person commented on what a loss it would be to the community if they incarcerated Gerald.”

While the letters spoke highly of Kirby, they also spoke to the clear need of deterrence and denunciation, Konge said during her submission.

“Many of those letters insinuate that what he did not be considered criminal,” Konge said. “But we need to understand that no matter where you live in Canada, including the Chilcotin, the laws with firearms apply and that not following those laws is both criminal and serious.”

RCMP investigate weekend stabbing Williams Lake RCMP are continuing to investigate a stabbing that sent one man to hospital last weekend.

Police responded to a report of a fight involving a weapon on Lakeview Avenue at about 8:13 p.m. Saturday evening.

“Upon arrival of police and ambulance personnel an adult male was located with stab wounds and immediately transported to hospital where he remains in stable condition,” RCMP said Sunday.

Williams Lake Gen-

eral Duty and General Investigative Services have spoken with several potential witnesses and the investigation remains ongoing.

This incident is not believed to be a random act and it is believed the victim knew the attacker(s), police

said.

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to call the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-3926211, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at www.crimestoppers. net.

Residents encouraged to sign up for emergency notification system Continued From Page A1 The ground is so dry that any rain that falls runs off, he said, noting an overnight downpour for three or four hours will be gone in four hours the next day if the sun’s out.

“We are in a high to extreme area for a potential interface fire,” Webster said.

The new fire hall was

designed with an area for an EOC that can stand alone and work without power for up to 72 hours.

“We encourage our residents to prepare themselves for any time of the year, by that I mean everyone should be ready to self-sustain for 72 hours,” Webster said, noting people can find that information on the Emergency Management B.C. web-

site.

“In some point in time, the government kicks in but there is a span when it won’t be quick enough, depending on the size of the event.”

Webster reminded the public to sign on to the Everbridge emergency notification system by going to everbridge. com or your local government’s website.

Early this spring

the city signed on to the mass notification system with the Cariboo Regional District, Quesnel, 100 Mile House and Wells.

It’s a mass, free notification system that will alert people to any emergencies through a phone message, text message or e-mail.

“Within five seconds we can send out a message to thousands of people, but you have to

register,” he said. “You can put as many numbers as you want.”

After the fires in 2010, the city developed an evacuation plan and divided the city into 12 zones that allows for evacuation of the city as a whole or portioning it off.

“We can move people from zone to zone if that’s what’s required and within each zone there’s a mustering

point where people can go who don’t have transportation and transportation will be provided,” Webster said. “We have an agreement in place with the bus company that does the mine bus.”

Each business will be required to look after their own individuals and then where possible the city kicks in to help, Webster added.

Social planning council member Bruce

Mack suggested more preparation needs to be done ahead of time to identify areas where some residents may need more help evacuating.

“Earlier discussions with businesses and apartment owners would be better so the city has a sense of where there are places that will need extra help to help get vulnerable people out,” said Mack.

Community meeting sparks interest in tackling youth violence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Around 75 people attended a community meeting at city hall Thursday to discuss violent crime.

A self-described reformed gang member, Pat said he has been trying to connect with young offenders in the community since he and his family moved to Williams Lake.

“Williams Lake has somehow lost the power of the people,” Pat said, noting he has had many people tell him who the person was who was shooting from the car on Western Avenue two weekends ago.

“Why don’t you drive down to police station and tell them, and get him off the street, because that’s attempted murder,” Pat said, adding it is sad how many people are scared to talk to the police.

Erin suggested there needs to be a large group of people willing to volunteer to counsel youth in the community.

The community needs to work together to tackle violent crime in Williams Lake, said Mayor Walt Cobb Thursday during a community meeting at city hall.

“Silos don’t work, we know that,” Cobb said. “We need to know who we are dealing with, pool our resources and get one group together.”

Organized by Erin and Pat Graham who moved to Williams Lake last October and run Guardian Youth At Risk and Family Services, the meeting attracted about 75 people.

Several high profile crimes in recent years, including two murders and this month’s car chase and shooting on Western Avenue, have many in the community fearing for their safety.

“We thought it was important to make this a community event,” Erin said of the meeting.

happening are going to be able to give the RCMP the information they need.”

Conservative MP candidate Todd Doherty who travelled from Prince George to attend the meeting encouraged everyone to trust and work with the police.

“They are doing the best they can with the resources they have,” Doherty said. “If we had all the eyes that are in this room on the street helping them, letting them know what’s happening, you can take back your community.”

Stampede still a thrill

Celebrate Cowboy Heritage Week

T

his week we celebrate the 89th Williams Lake Stampede.

It may not be the oldest in B.C. (Falkland) nor the biggest (Cloverdale?) but we’re one of the oldest and biggest and what about best? We must be the somethingest.

As the city has grown, many feel the cowtown image is embarrassing, but we have improved from the 1950s when the Stampede was advertised as a “wild west wing ding.” Visitors were invited to “three wild days and nights in the Cariboo.” It certainly wasn’t false billing but the police said the celebrations were already as wild as they cared to French handle and they Connection persuaded the Diana French Stampede committee to delete the “wild.” Stampedes were rowdy in the early 1970s too, and one wag suggested inviting visitors to come to the Stampede for a weekend they’d never remember.

That didn’t fly either.

In the early days there were some foolhardy events. The Roman Race saw a cowboy riding two horses at the same time, standing, one foot on each horse’s back.

The Drunken Ride saw the rider ending up under the horse’s belly, his head and shoulders inches from the ground but one foot still in a stirrup.

The original Mountain Race saw riders coming hell bent down the side of Fox Mountain and crossing what is now Highway 97 to the Stampede Grounds. Oldtimers claimed they tossed their reins and rode the last stretch at breakneck speed with their hands up over their heads. The modern version is tamer but still has its moments. Stampede events are based on ranch activities but I have never understood what ranch activity involved riding a bull.

Today’s Stampedes with their professional contestants are different from the old days, but the thrills remain. Our Stampede has one event, the Ranch Challenge, that sees local working cowboys competing in four events that show their skills and knowledge of the activities required on a modern ranch.

Weekend lineup exciting Hold on to your hat, the 89th annual Williams Lake Stampede is upon us once again and promises to be a great show.

Stampede volunteers have been out in full force for some time now making sure the Stampede Grounds are in tip top shape for this year’s event.

The action kicks off Friday with the first rodeo performance getting underway at 12:45 p.m. and the second starting at 6:45 p.m.

Friday is family day with children 12 and under getting in to the rodeos for free. Those attending Friday evening’s performance are encouraged to wear red to support our Armed Forces.

As well as several pancake breakfasts and steak-outs being offered around town throughout the weekend, the Stampede wouldn’t be the same without the always popular Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade. This year’s theme for the parade is Be a Gift to the World : A Tribute to Volunteers.

The parade gets underway Saturday at 10 a.m., followed by the Stampede Street Party immediately following, showcasing all that our fine downtown businesses have to offer.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday the rodeos will start at 1:45 p.m.

Rodeo goers can expect many thrills and spills at this year’s event, with top cowboys coming from across Canada and the U.S. to compete for cash prizes.

Back by popular demand will be the Global FMX Professional Freestyle Motocross, Wild Cowgirls Race, the Ranch Challenge and, of course, the thrilling Mountain Race.

With four days of action-packed rodeo excitement that kicks off on June 26, followed by a weekend filled with adrenalin — the Williams Lake Stampede is a great family fun-filled rodeo and communitywide event that has been world famous for 89 consecutive years.

Cowboys have MLA had an imporMusings tant role in B.C. for more than Coralee Oakes two centuries.

Raising and herding cattle, providing a secure food source, and preserving the natural environment were some of the jobs that cowboys have historically carried out.

The Williams Lake Stampede additionally boosts our local economy in so many ways.

Last year, the record was broken with approximately 16,451 rodeo fans attending the performance — which was not only entertaining but supports our local tourism industry and essentially our province as a whole.

It is not only the many top cowboys and international rodeo competitors from Canada and the United States that make this annual event so significant, but it is the team of the hundreds of dedicated volunteers, the board of directors and sponsors that put on the Stampede every year who really make it so special.

It would not exist without the tireless efforts, expertise, time and support from each of them and I thank them for that.

If you would like to have some fun and celebrate the hard work of the cowboys, cowgirls, ranchers and individuals who have put so much time into supporting and preserving our Cowboy culture, heritage and history.

Happy Stampede Weekend!

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

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Accolades for Imperial Metals Editor: If we did have this distinction, our nomination and vote would go to Imperial Metals and Mount Polley.

In spite of the devastating dam breach, with its many associated problems and continuous “bad mouthing” by the ignorant and ill informed, the company has plugged away at recovery operations and learning ways to prevent a recurrence — all the while keeping the populace completely up-to-date, better than we have

seen anywhere else in this country.

While the company has been hard at work on recovery, they have kept themselves aware of the problems facing Likely and district citizens.

As a result of this interest and awareness, the Likely and District Voluntary Fire and Rescue Society has received invaluable assistance from Mount Polley and their employees.

The building to house our first responder vehicles is erected to the state that we had our first meeting in this building at 7 p.m.

on Thursday, June 18, so that our members could see what progress has been made, but, only because of the support of Mount Polley and staff and the community volunteers who will be recognized at a later time.

So, yes, we would nominate and vote for Imperial Metals and Mount Polley as citizens of the year. I wish a long life and prosperity to them.

Embrace changes for problems Editor: Every great idea begins with an understanding of basic math.

To create something that never was before, to deconstruct, replace and rebuild.

To stand in the way of that and to not choose something that is better, not only stands in the way of progress but leaves a person standing in the way of others.

To hold onto the old and not embrace the new, one is left holding something old, that will soon be gone.

To find something new and make it your own, to not stand in the way of progress and others that do so, and to help rebuild,

www.wltribune.com A7

restore and reconstruct the environment with better jobs to make an economy that is strong, can save the world.

Any decision people make to restore balance to nature and work on the solution for environmental problems is always able to be supported by basic math.

A car company that produces electric vehicles, companies that do recycling and ones that do the work to bring back health to an area of land and water, all have a positive effect on the economy and in no way are a burden to anyone, or anything.

People and companies that work against that very basic understanding of basic math are a

burden to the economy and our environment of anyone and anything.

They remain in place and deconstruct what is trying to be built. They stand in the way of progress and others that are trying to make something better.

They don’t allow anything to go anywhere and everything is at a standstill because what is replaced with the new has no benefit, since the old still remains.

To save the environment with basic math involves using it to save everyone else, too. To do, or not to do, without the new?

Mount Polley plan sought by government Public input is needed to help ensure Mount Polley Mine Corporation has the foremost remediation and restoration plan in place by early next year for the longer term, the government said in a press release Monday.

The temporary re-start evaluation process is separate and distinct from the longer term environmental remediation and restoration process.

The Post Event Environmental Impact Assessment Report is now posted for public comment.

Under the May 27, 2015 amend-

ment of the Aug. 5, 2014 Pollution Abatement Order, Mount Polley Mining Corporation was required to complete the report.

The report outlines the environmental impact as a result of the Aug. 4,2014 tailings pond breach.

It includes physical, chemical and biological impact information collected from the spill, allowing better understanding and planning for long-term mitigation and restoration.

The report is being presented to First Nations, local community members, regional district

representatives and the Environmental Working Group.

Information in this report will help shape Phase 2 — The Remediation and Restoration Phase — as the Province oversees the planning and implementation of mitigation and offset measures. The Remediation and Restoration Plan is expected to be developed in early 2016.

Remediation efforts and ongoing restoration work in this phase will run through summer 2016 and beyond.

Notable findings in Mount Polley Mining Corporation’s report include: • Approximately 132 hectares (236

acres) of land were impacted by the spill.

• Approximately 181 hectares (447 acres) of Quesnel Lake bottom are covered by sediment with a depth of up to 10 metres.

• Turbidity levels in Quesnel Lake are near or at normal levels and water quality has improved over time.

Final comments to the ministry on this report are due on Sept. 12, 2015.

The report, along with all information on the Mount Polley incident, can be found at the ministry’s dedicated webpage: http://www.env. gov.bc.ca/eemp/incidents/2014/mountpolley/.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Four RCMP officers in Williams Lake who helped remove impaired drivers from the road in 2014 have been recognized for their efforts.

Williams Lake Constables Derek Henderson, Christopher Ives, Colin Champagne and Daniel Cohen jointly removed 85 impaired drivers last year from the area and have been named to Alexa’s Team for their efforts.

Alexa’s Team was created after fouryear-old Alexa Middelaer was killed by an alcohol-impaired driver seven years ago.

Each year officers who process a minimum of 12 impaired drivers can qualify to be named to the team.

Since Alexa’s death, the police, her family and supporters have worked tirelessly to make B.C.’s roads safer for everyone, the RCMP said.

As part of that effort, last October the province rolled out Alexa’s Bus, a mobile road safety unit, which can be used to teach the public about impairment,

“Instead of having to leave the road and take the impaired person back to the detachment office, which usually removes one police officer from the community who could be called to general crime issues, all of the work can be done within an hour on site,” Durant said.

During Stampede weekend, the bus will be in Williams Lake, Durant said.

“Impairment is not just alcohol, but can include drugs, elicit and prescription drugs. Fatigue is an impairment, so there is information about that as well,” Durant said.

Royalty thankful for experience Angie Mindus Staff Writer After a year of representing the Williams Lake Stampede both at home and afar, the outgoing 2014/15 Stampede royalty say giving up their titles at Friday night’s Stampede will be bitter sweet.

“I’ll be sad to move on, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the next queen has in store,” said Stampede Queen Michelle Ball.

“It seems so long ago,” added Stampede Princess Matina Durfeld of being crowned 2014/15 Stampede Princess last year. “We were just saying so much is different since we started.”

Michelle and Matina said the two grew close during their year together and shared the many highs and some lows that come with being Stampede royalty.

“We have a famous rodeo, but we are not a famous city. Being the Stampede Queen and Princess is all about representing Williams Lake and getting the community’s name out there and we did that,” Michelle said.

During their reign the girls travelled extensively to rodeos throughout Alberta and Washington, keeping up with a hectic schedule and learning lots along the way.

“Horsemanship is definitely a necessity,” Matina said of expectations that come with the title, explaining they had to ride a different horse for grand entries at every different rodeo.

Matina said being trusted with someone’s prized horse was one of the highlights of the year for her, but it could also lead to stressful rides in front of crowds, added Michelle.

“That was probably our biggest challenge — or should I say adventure — for the year,” Michelle said, laughing with Matina at the memories.

Highlights for Michelle included attending the Calgary Stampede, visiting a children’s hospital in Spokane and travelling to and being a part of the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton in November.

“The highs are going to rodeos and seeing something new every time. You never get bored of that,” said Michelle.

For Matina, touring the Stetson warehouse, being in the Calgary Stampede Parade and visiting the set of her favourite TV show, Heartland, as well as meeting the actors and getting to go for a ride on the Heartland horses is some-

“We met some pretty amazing people. People in the rodeo community are so friendly, caring and kind. No matter where we went, people treated us like family,” said Matina.

Some things they may sooner forget include 14-hour road trips and having to change and do their hair and makeup in gas station bathrooms or bobby-pinning their hats to their heads until they had headaches to ensure their hats didn’t fly off during rodeo performances.

“We were told if your hat hits the ground, your head better be in it,” they said.

Michelle and Matina will take part in the Crowning in the Dirt ceremony at Friday evening’s rodeo performance and will also be in the Stampede Parade Saturday morning, rounding out their duties.

The two are close friends thanks to their reign and both have plans for the future; Michelle is continuing her schooling to become a primary care paramedic while Matina just graduated from college and is

now an equine sports therapist.

“After a year of service I feel I’ve done my duty and it’s time to move on to another chapter in life, but we are both very thankful for our time (as Stampede Royalty),” Matina said.

Michelle said being Stampede Queen taught her to “never give up on your dreams” and that she is grateful for the experience.

Both women would like to thank their sponsors and their families for supporting them during their year as Stampede Queen and Princess.

Parade entry deadline flexible Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Whatever you do, don’t let a small thing like an entry deadline prevent you from participating in the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade this Saturday.

The entry deadline passed on Monday with 51 entries signed up but entry deadlines don’t seem to mean much when it comes to a parade.

Parade committee member Lori Macala says they usually get another 40 or 50 entries in the week leading up to the parade.

Parade marshal Ron Malmas agrees the deadline doesn’t seem to mean much when it comes to a parade.

“Parade entries are always welcome,” Malmas says.

“We even take them Saturday morning,” Malmas says with a chuckle. “Every year we get about 10 late entries on Saturday morning.”

The parade theme this year is Be a Gift to the World: A Tribute to Volunteers.

In keeping with that theme the parade has not one but two honorary parade marshals, Jim Byer and Peter James who will ride in vehicles provided by the Lakers Car Club with

done a little differently this year, Malmas says.

There will be preliminary judging while entrants are lining up to start the parade but the final judging will be done during the parade.

The judges will be set up near the beginning of the parade route at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Borland Street.

That way entrants will still be fresh and can give it their best shot whether dancing, playing music or performing in other ways.

Malmas says the new plan also saves about an hour of time for volunteers and entrants in the morning before the parade starts.

A reminder that entrants register at the corner of Comer Street and Second Avenue between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. for pre-judging which starts at 9 a.m.

The Williams Lake Community Band will give a concert in Boitanio Park Thursday evening, be in the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade Saturday (above) and also be performing at Canada Day celebrations in Boitanio Park, July 1. ingen, which the group played for the Cariboo Music Festival.

They will also be playing a Blues Brother’s arrangement that they enjoy playing, Waring says. They will also play the first movement March and the fourth movement Fantasia on the Dargason.

“We might try a piece from the musical Phantom of the Opera and do a few Canadian themed numbers such as Farewell to Nova Scotia which we will also play on July 1 for Canada Day (in Boitanio Park),” Waring says.

The Williams Lake Community Band is pleased to present a Summer Concert this Thursday, June 25 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the the Gwen Pharis Ringwood Stage in Boitanio Park.

The community band members are proud winners of a gold medal at the 2015 Cariboo Festival earlier this spring.

The band hopes to have 20 members on stage for Thursday’s

concert.

“We like playing outdoors and have been practising outdoors during the month of June,” says Margaret Waring, who plays flute with the band.

Thursday evening she says the band will play a variety of pieces including two marches that they will be playing for the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade on Saturday and two gold winning pieces, Second Suite (in four parts) by Gustav Holst, and Denbridge Way by James Swear-

formed in 1980 by a group of local musicians and meets Thursdays from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus band room.

The band invites anyone interested in playing, such as those who have previously played instruments in high school bands, to join them, says band member Barb Doedel.

“We currently have about 25 members, some of whom are original founding members,” Doedel says. “We welcome the younger generation as well. For the past two years three students, all sisters have joined us. Their participation in the band counts as credit towards their distance education programs.”

The band plays at many activities throughout the community including the Daybeak Rotary Stampede Parade this weekend, Canada Day next week, Remembrance Day Ceremonies, Festival of Lights/Santa Claus Parade and Christmas concerts, which are sometimes paired with LCSS bands.

“This weekend will be our 28th year playing in the Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade,” Doedel says.

Celebrating Legion Week In honour of our Veterans

ROYAL CANADIAN BRANCH 139 KEN WILSON The official Proclamation of Legion Week by the Government of British Columbia and the Yukon government are testaments to the dedicated community service of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Legion Week is a time for celebration leading up to Canada Day and of course it ties in this year with the Williams Lake Stampede. The Williams Lake Legion is once again adding to the fun of our famous event with special displays in the Branch, then also on Friday and Saturday is the very popular steak night for only $15 along with Perfect Match supplying the music both nights. Saturday evening they will be joined by Randy Pokeda.

Sunday has beef dip and fries on the menu with the Old Time Fiddlers supplying the music from 4 to 7 p.m.

On Canada Day the Legion Pipe Band will help open celebrations at Boitanio Park and the Legion will be open for business.

The Royal Canadian Legion in Williams Lake has contributed thousands of dollars to our community and groups like the Williams Lake Pipe Band, Old Time Fiddlers, the Station House Gallery, Williams Lake Meals on Wheels, Williams Lake Stampeders Coy Cup, the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo, Stampede Queen, Child Development Centre, Williams Lake RCMP Youth Academy, Williams Lake Salvation Army, Emergency Dental Outreach Clinic, Parkinsons BC, Child Find BC, ALS, Council of the Blind, and Operation Smile just to name some of the contributions.

All of the Veterans of the First World War have now passed on as have most of those who served in the Second World War conflict. Only the millions of dead, marked by monuments of remembrance remain as silent witness to the suffering of the many brave men and women. We counted on them, now they can count on us to remember and show that we care.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 Williams Lake supports all veterans in our community. Membership is not a requirement.

Thank You Veterans

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28 Stampede Racing

Carlie Leeder photo

C+ Rodeos’ Dusty (above) will be one of the featured animal athletes in the bronc riding event during this year’s Williams Lake Stampede.

Cream of the crop paired for Stampede Top cowboys and champion stock set to square off Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Rodeo fans can expect a stacked lineup spread over five performances this weekend when the Williams Lake Stampede rides into town.

And Roy Call, manager of C+ Rodeos — the longtime bucking stock provider for Stampede — is busy making all the final preparations to ensure spectators won’t go home without witnessing heroics — both on the part of cowboys and their animal counterparts.

“We’ll be bringing six liner loads to get all the stock in there,” Call said. “That’s about 100 horses, probably the better part of 40 bulls, then another 100 head of cattle for the timed events. It’s a full week project for us.”

For this year’s Stampede, entries have been limited to the top 60 cowboys in North America, leaving 12 contestants per event to provide the best competitors to match up with C+ Rodeos’ stock.

“Bareback riding is ridiculous all the way through,” Call said.

“We’ve been involved for 30 years and this is by far the most talented group we’ve seen. You’re going to need to [score] 82 or better to even have a chance at winning.”

Horses to lookout for, Call said, are Ginger, Billy and Smokin’ Gun. “All those horses have been Canadian Finals horses in the past and they’ve all had great seasons — [people have scored] 85 or better. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be the best event at the rodeo.”

In bronc riding, Call pointed to several pairings to watch, including a world champion, Cody Demoss of Heflin, Louisiana, who will be on one of C+ Rodeos’ premiere bucking horses, Dusty, during the Saturday afternoon rodeo performance.

“That’d be worth the price of admission that day,” Call said.

“That’s the event to watch.”

Clay Elliott, originally of Vernon and now living in Nanton, Alta., drew Kiss ‘n Kate, another ride that will take place during Saturday’s rodeo.

“He could do really well,” Call said. “That young man is in the top 20 in the world right now.”

On Sunday, another former world champion, Wade Sundell of Coleman, Oklahoma, will be on Con Man — another ride call said should be phenomenal — while Kamloops’ Cole Scott will be on Pay Day, a Canadian Finals horse, Friday evening.

In bull riding, a strong group of contestants, including a few former world champions, will round out the field.

Call said this year will feature the debut of several young bulls they’ve been raising over the past few years.

“We’ve raised them right here in Williams Lake,” Call said.

“We’re proud of them — a lot of our young bulls are just getting famous, and we’ve got a couple black bulls that are spectacular.”

Canadian Finals Rodeo contestant Jesse Torkelson of Warburg, Alta., will highlight Saturday’s bull riding event, drawing Blacklist.

“He’s [Blacklist] a bull we’ve raised for four years, and he’s had two years [in rodeo,]” Call said.

“He hasn’t been ridden to the whistle yet.”

Wesley Silcox from Santaquin, Utah, also a former world champion, will be paired with FBB — a six-year-old brindle bull Call said should put on a good show.

“Wesley had an 85 on him [at the Grand Prairie Stompede May 27-31],” he said. “He’s pretty bucky, but Wesley can ride anything with hair. He’s a guy you don’t get a chance to see very often but when you do, something good happens.”

On Monday, 150 Mile House brothers Reid and Kyle Lozier are slated to bull ride.

“Reid will be on Ill Will — a young brindle and a really good spinner — and he could get a pretty good cheque,” Call said.

“Kyle has Crowbar, and he’s a damn good bull, too — just really gassy and a good spinner.”

Kyle has been on a hot streak as of late and is coming off a win at the Grand Prairie Stompede last month.

“He’s just outside the top 10 in Canada right now,” Call said. “Both Lozier brothers are healthy right now and riding good again.”

Monday will also feature Tyler Tomson of Black Diamond, Alta., who will be on another one of C+ Rodeos’ premiere bulls, High Roller.

“He’s a bull we’ve used as a breeding bull. There’s a bunch of calves of him in the draw, too, and they’re all spectacular. Tyler’s had the bull before and won some big cheques with 85 or more. He’s a cool bull and Tyler likes him and gets along with him well.”

Williams Lake Stampede performances go Friday at 12:45 p.m. and at 6:45 p.m., Saturday at 1:45 p.m., Sunday at 1:45 p.m. and Monday at 12:45 p.m.

It’s going to be an actionpacked weekend Friday to Sunday when Thunder Mountain Speedway hosts Stampede Racing.

Friday, the fan-favourite Hit to Pass, King of the Hill and Smoke Show takes centre stage, including a $5,000 payout and trophies to the hit to pass winner.

On Saturday and Sunday, local race classes get underway for the All Class Invitational, including street stocks, pro minis and bone stocks, and will also feature the first Tri-City Series Race.

Friday and Saturday, qualifying begins at 5 p.m. with racing getting underway at 6 p.m.

Sunday, racing begins at 1 p.m.

Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28 Stampede Rugby

Rugby teams from around the province will be in Williams Lake this weekend for the annual Stampede Rugby Tournament, hosted by the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club.

The tournament takes place at the Ottoman Drive rugby fields at 711 Ottoman Dr., located off of Dog Creek Road.

Williams Lake’s Shaylene Tucker rounds her first barrel during a 16.644-second ride Sunday during the Stampede Warmup Barrel Racing at the Williams Lake Stampede Grounds.

More than 250 compete at Stampede Warmup barrel racing Following two days of racing last weekend, organizers said the B.C. Barrel Racing Association Stampede Warmup was the most successful event hosted yet.

“We had more than 250 competitors each day, which was our biggest turnout in the three years hosting this race,” said organizer Lori Rankin. “[We] paid out over $22,000 in cash and prizes.”

The open winner for both Saturday and Sunday was Sara

Christmas of Gibsons, B.C., winning more than $1,400 and running the fastest time of the weekend in 16.140 seconds.

The junior champion was Perri-Lynn Leneve of Quesnel, while the senior event winner was Marisa Peter of Cache Creek.

In the peewee division Riley Beir of Vanderhoof raced to the top spot.

Coming up next is the B.C. Barrel Racing Finals scheduled for Sept. 4-6.

Mr. Todd Sharun died peacefully on June 6, 2015 in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 59.

Todd is survived by his parents, Orist and Elsie Sharun of Williams Lake, BC; children, Jayda, Malonie, Dallas, Janelle, Otss and Kelli-Ann; grandchildren, Brady, Vianne, Taelyn, Jack, Riley, Lukas, Nathan, Aubrey, Austin, Dallas, London; siblings, Brad and Kent Sharun. He is preceded in death by brothers Dean and Richard Sharun.

Todd was born on May 24, 1956 in Prince George, BC to Orist and Elsie Sharun. Todd had very fond memories of growing up in Williams Lake, BC and the time spent with his parents and brothers at Big Lake. His sense of humor and easy going nature made him many friends and easily propelled his career into sales. Todd and his family traveled throughout Canada and Australia while Todd worked as the Canadian Regional Manager and later the Asia Pacific Regional Manager at Half-A-Car. Todd retired early and moved to Arizona to enjoy the warm weather but always took time to come back to Canada to visit his children and grandchildren.

Todd’s children remember him as a driven father who encouraged them to pursue their goals and succeed.

Todd touched many lives as he traveled around the world, and will always be remembered as a maverick in sales, but more often as a trusted and loyal friend. He was a charismatic individual who loved making people laugh and who was passionate about cars, boats and anything that could go fast. Todd was a son, a father, a grandfather (papa) and a friend to everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

A memorial is scheduled for July in Calgary, AB, details will be posted on his memorial page at www.toddsharun.wix.com/ memorial. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Todd’s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Habitats for Humanity.

Condolences can be sent to www.toddsharun.wix.com/memorial.

The family would like to thank Southwood Hospice for their care.
