Mount Polley Mine ready for restart Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As the one-year anniversary of the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach approaches, the mine is poised to restart on a restricted permit.

“It is anticipated the mine will restart the first week of August,”

NOW THIS IS COOL!

Starters Automatic Carr w inter! are not just fo

said Steve Robertson, vice-president of corporate affairs for Imperial Metals Monday.

For the restricted restart, the mine has permission to mill four million tons of ore, which is about half a normal year’s worth of material.

During restricted operations, the mine is only permitted to

store tailings in the Springer Pit. To feed the mill, 1,000 tons a day will come from the underground mine, which has higher grade ore, and the rest will come from the Cariboo Pit. Once the government issued the restricted restart permit on July 9, 2015, unionized millwrights and electricians were called back

to work to prepare the mill for production.

“During the period of suspended operations we took care of some short and long-term maintenance activities inside the mill,” Robertson said.

Major remediation ongoing at Mount Polley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mount Polley Mine Corporation continues to work on remediating the site impacted by the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach, including reinforcing the original impoundment with concrete aggregate.

When the tailings impoundment gave way, an estimated seventeen million cubic metres of water and eight million cubic metres of tailings emptied into nearby Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake.

Once the tailings and water reached Polley Lake and Hazeltine Creek, about five million cubic metres of water went up into the lake, followed by tail-

ings that blocked off the end of the lake.

The soupy tailings created a plug and caused the lake’s level to increase by 1.7 metres.

Pumps were installed in the lake to reduce the water level down to July 2014 levels, which took about three months to achieve.

In its wake, the breach significantly widened the eight kilometre long Hazeltine Creek channel, creating a new landscape where formerly a little creek meandered through the woods.

In order to work in Hazeltine Creek, a water outlet structure was installed to control Polley Lake’s level.

The company has created a new Hazeltine Creek channel and

is now at the point of armouring it.

Until the work is completed, fish fences have been installed so the fish cannot enter Hazeltine Creek.

The next step is to install spawning gravel.

The new Hazeltine Creek channel has been designed to handle 1.7 cubic metres of water a second, said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs.

The water treatment plant will discharge at a rate of .3 cubic metres per second, leaving room for some water from Polley Lake.”

Last Friday crews resumed work on nearby Edney Creek in advance of the salmon See SEVERAL Page A8

Treated water discharge plan proposed Continued From Page A1 United Steelworkers Union president Paul French said 40 union workers have been recalled so far.

“I don’t have a final number of how many will be recalled once they get going, and I’m a little nervous as to when the actual start date will be because the moon and the stars have to line up first,” French said, noting there are about 120 unionized employees there right now and he’s hopeful that number will reach 200.

Some of the union’s members have gone to work at Imperial Metals’ Red Chris Mine in northern B.C. and others have gone elsewhere.

“People can only hang around for so long,” French said.

Boaters cruise in for a closer look at the debris gathering at Hazeltine Creek after the Mount Polley Mine spill last Aug. 4, 2014.

Whether or not the mine is approved for long-term operations, the company is hoping to discharge water in the short term from the Springer Pit and will need to have a plan for long-term water management by 2016.

Minister of Energy

and Mines Bill Bennet said the mine will not get a long-term permit or a short term permit to discharge water into the environment unless it can prove that water will be drinking quality guideline standard and meet the standards for aquatic or-

ganisms.

“So it has to be pretty clean water,” Bennett said.

Presently the elevation of water in the Springer Pit is 1,016 metres above sea level. The permitted level is 1,030 metres because above that it is possible the water

could seep into the groundwater.

Robertson said a water treatment plant has been ordered from Veolia Water Technologies in Quebec that will be installed below the original tailings impoundment.

If the company’s

temporary water discharge plan is approved by the government, the company hopes to discharge water from the Springer Pit through two diffuser pipes directly into Quesnel Lake after treatment, Robertson said.

The water would

enter the lake at a level of 40 metres below the surface and below the thermocline.

“The lake will be carefully monitored to ensure we continue to meet all the prescribed guidelines,” Robertson said.

People wanting to respond to the water discharge plan can send written responses to Mount Polley Mine, Box 12 Likely, B.C. V0L 1N0 or email inquiries@imperialmetals.com.

Bennett agreed the government has been criticized for granting the restricted restart, but said there are families in the region who are worried about losing their homes.

“It was important to get the mine open, even though the company still has some hurdles to get over,” Bennett said.

Quesnel Lake water sampling continues Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Likely resident Lisa Kraus and her husband Ken Smith were at home sleeping on Aug. 4, 2014 when a neighbour telephoned alerting them the Mount Polley Mine had breached.

“We were told to check the lake level in front of our property,” said Kraus, who is also the Likely community co-ordinator.

By 6 a.m., Smith had their boat in the water and went out to see the breach site about eight kilometres away.

“When he got back he said ‘you can’t believe it, there are trees everywhere’,” Kraus said.

Once they’d had breakfast they headed back in the boat with a load of people to see what Kraus described as an “unbelievable pile of debris.”

“We could still hear the water running at 10 a.m. The breach happened at about 1:30,”

the lake all the time.

“We’ve lived here since 1986 and have always got our water from a spring, never out of the lake,” she added.

Looking back Kraus said it’s been an interesting year and people still have mixed feelings.

“What happened was bad, but we are trying to move forward,” she noted.

“There are still trees and debris coming up from the lake bottom and there will be more because the lake turns twice a year.”

Chuckling she said during a recent day trip to Beehive Island on Quesnel Lake they realized they could tell if debris is pre-breach or not.

“The new trees are white and stripped of their bark,” she said.

Since January, Kraus has been collecting water samples every other week in the same spot from the Likely Bridge for the Ministry of Environment, and using monitoring equipment checks the levels of turbidity and dissolved oxygen.

When she takes the samples she has to report the weather conditions and record if a vehicle, person or a bird goes by.

Mount Polley takes the water samples on the alternate week, she added.

Mine spill sediment researched Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Soon after the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach, staff from the Quesnel River Research Centre were on the water taking samples and have continued to throughout the year.

“The breach definitely shifted our thinking,” said Sam Albers, manager of the QRRC Tuesday. “A year out I want to pick up the stuff we collected a year ago and compare it to what we collect this year. And going forward get that year to year comparison.”

On Aug. 6, 2014, staff obtained the first samples from the sediment plume, to mea-

Over the next few months, the centre will delve into the data that’s been collected but

at this point there aren’t any conclusions.

Staff and research assistants have been taking samples for sediment and plankton in

Latest water test results The Ministry of Environment’s review of water samples taken July 2 to July 9, 2015 at the Likely Bridge and Cariboo River locations showed levels fell within allowable drinking water standards.

At the Gravelle Ferry Bridge site there were the following exceedances of the BC MOE Drinking Water Guidelines. Turbidity (for raw untreated water) all dates, and total alumi-

num and total iron on June 9, 2015.

“Prior to the breach, water samples collected from the Quesnel River at the Gravelle Ferry Bridge had elevated turbidity, total aluminum and iron results,” noted the MOE report.

“It was thought that the Cariboo River may be a source of turbidity to the Quesnel River as noted downstream at the Gravelle Ferry site, but the samples taken

during this past month indicate that both Quesnel Lake (as represented by the Quesnel River at Likely Bridge site) and the Cariboo River have very low turbidity.”

Health Canada indicates there is no weight of evidence for adverse health effects of aluminum at levels above the guideline, adding the iron drinking water guideline is based on staining and taste.

various locations from Quesnel to the junction at Quesnel Lake.

The lake’s temperature normally increases and decreases, and last year the ejection of cold water would be filled with tailings so there would be a change in colour, Albers said.

“But there’s not the same concentration of tailings now so we’re not getting that visual indication so that’s a positive,” he said. “The turbidity plume has cleared up.”

According to the Mount Polley Mine

Corporation’s PostEvent Environmental Impact Assessment Report, published in June, the sediment from the breach is 10 metres deep in some cases and expands well beyond the opening of Hazeltine Creek into Quesnel Lake, Albers pointed out.

“That’s a lot of material that’s in the lake now that wasn’t in it before. We will be wondering what’s going to happen with that and what sort of conditions will that create,” he said.

It will be interesting to see what kinds of bottom sediment ingesting invertebrate recolonize the area and what sort of impact it will have for the bioavailability of all the minerals, he added.

Some time in the fall the centre will holds its annual open house, although the date has yet to be confirmed.

At the open house the centre will summarize its research to date to share with the public.

“We are also hoping to release papers regularly on our findings, but that will take some time,” Albers said.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

The right way?

Fire safety urged

Retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield and his brother Dave, a pilot, sailor and singer, teamed up to make a music video for Canada Day. Google “Hadfield In Canada” and enjoy. *** The oil spill in Alberta last week was nasty, 31,000 barrels of goop dumped in muskeg the size of two CFL football fields.

It wasn’t supposed to happen. The pipeline is new, double-walled, state of the art. The state of the art detection technology didn’t work either and the leak was discovered by chance in the old fashioned way. Someone walking by saw it.

Pipeline owners Nexen (a Chinese French government corConnection poration) leaped Diana French into cleanup action immediately but, as with all environmental disasters, no one knows what can actually be cleaned up or what will stay put forever. The Mount Polley Mine tailings pond wasn’t supposed to breach either. Environmentalists aren’t against industry, they just want things to be done the right way.

Question is, what on earth is the right way? *** History was made in Kelowna last week.

Visiting the area to inspect the latest wildfire scene, both Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Stephen Harper actually acknowledged climate change is real. Ms. Clark said it has made us “much more vulnerable to fire.” Asked if he thought global warming was contributing to forest fire intensity, Mr. Harper reportedly said that is possible. Ms. Clark was visiting her home riding, not sure what the PM was doing there. Hopefully something good will come from their appearance. *** Flora MacDonald died last week. Now there was a remarkable person. Without any fanfare she went where few women had been before. A “Red Tory” she spent 16 years in parliament (a number as a cabinet minister) championing women’s rights, immigration, bilingualism and other issues not popular with her Conservative colleagues. After losing her seat in 1988 she spent years travelling the developing world empowering women as she worked with groups fighting poverty and injustice.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

As you know, fire season is upon us with many wildfires burning throughout the province including Puntzi Lake, which the BC Wildfire Service reports grew to about 8,000 hectares with Rank 4 or 5 fire behaviour at its peak – meaning it caused trees to candle and spread, crowning or jumping through tree tops.

Living in a resource-dependent province, with wild space and forested area covering the majority of it, forest fires are to be expected. Over the last couple of years, especially this year, we have also experienced drier-thanMLA normal condiMusings tions and elevated fire danger ratings Donna Barnett in the Cariboo.

A total of 399 human-caused fires have occurred so far this year. This is unacceptable. Natural wildfires are difficult enough to deal with, and we must be very clear that human-caused wildfires will not be tolerated. It not only costs taxpayers in a huge way as far as resources are concerned, but it also puts people’s lives in danger. This is why our government is taking this issue very seriously, and why we’ve decided to take a look at the current fine and penalty structures related to human-caused forest fires and consider recommendations for a number of penalties. Currently, anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or one year in jail.

Under the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource operations, the Cariboo Fire Centre operations are one of the best in the Province. They use everything from air tankers or water bombers, helicopters, air patrols and fire crews to locate and fight fires. I’d like to thank our emergency and fire crews who work hard in our community and across the province to help ensure we are safe. I can’t emphasize enough that they can’t do it alone and our government can’t do it alone– the responsibility is up to all of us to help prevent fires.

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or an open burning violation, call 1-800-6635555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone.

In its wake the Mount Polley Mine tailings impoundment breach carved a new and large channel for Hazeltine Creek. In some instances the debris flow squeezed through narrower areas as seen here above the Ditch Road.

Our Viewpoint

Mining controls need adjustment Work continues to clean up the Mount Polley mine spill that dumped tons of mine tailings and water into Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake on Aug. 4, 2014.

As we approach the one year anniversary of the spill, it is good to see Imperial Metals is taking proactive responsibility for remediation and is working hard to put people in the region back to work as the company expects to restart the mine the first week of August. We also applaud the work being done to monitor the long-term impact of the spill on fish habitat. Quesnel Lake is the fourth largest lake in B.C. and with depths reaching more than 1,500 feet, is the fifth deepest in the world. Its 500 miles of coastline and access to pristine wilderness make it a lake worth protecting.

People living in the Likely and Quesnel Lake regions have been hit hard financially and emotionally by the disaster and would like nothing better than to see the site restored to its former natural beauty and we agree.

To that end, provincial and federal governments need to put more effort into creating checks and balances that would prevent disasters such as the Mount Polley spill and the more recent spills such as the spill in the Alberta oil fields last week that dumped 31,000 barrels of crude.

No system is going to be perfect, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to create the best environmentally sound mining practices in the world.

When wet the stench from the debris invades my home. The number of squatters and foot traffic past my home to the fire remains has not abated.

Bylaw officers excuse everything by telling me that the owners have “insurance problems” and cannot afford to clear the site. It appears that Williams Inn is exempt from nuisance bylaws and health and safety regulations.

The last fire at Williams Inn, July 5, causes me to demand action.

I was not at home when the RCMP effected an evacuation.

Raspberries to the very inconsiderate person who hit into our van in the Walmart parking lot on May 29.

How thoughtless to bash into someone’s car and drive off. You had to be aware of how hard you hit as we couldn’t open the door and needed a new fender. Thank you to the lady who waited till my son came out of the store with your licence number.

Marg Rowat Trudy Berkelaar and her family want to thank and give roses to the Williams Lake emergency room doctors and nurses whose quick thinking and actions saved her life after her heart stopped during a recent emergency room visit.

A huge thank you as well to the medevac team for their competent care during the flight to Kamloops.

As always the compassion and professional care she was given at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Royal Inland Hospital was exceptional and we are grateful to each and every person involved in her treatment and recovery.

Ernst Berkelaar A ton of raspberries to the `tree planter’ who instead of doing their job, put all effort into trying to hide all those young trees in the bushes down at the creek. All that effort you put into trying to hide them should have been used in planting them...Shame on you.

Letters aLways weLcome

With no response to door knocking, officers kicked in my door and searched my house. The two other vacant units weren’t touched. In questioning witnesses, I learned that the officers did not take one second to shout to my neighbours to ascertain I was away.

My unit is the furthest away from the fire, the fire was controlled and the feeling is the officers acted prematurely.

I appreciate concern for my life so this becomes a non-issue, but other questions arise.

I was not notified by the RCMP until, 10 p.m., July 8 when I received a long distance call notifying me that my house in Williams Lake had been “broken into.”

After some misinformation the officer was updated by his partner as to the circumstances of the “break in.”

He refused to secure my house Wednesday night. Apparently, it is not in the RCMP job description to secure a building that was forcibly entered.

My point is that my door was visibly wide open from Sunday

until Thursday morning. It is fortunate that no theft or vandalism occurred, as all concerned would have had “insurance problems.”

As approximately 40 per cent of my tax dollar goes to policing I am most upset that the RCMP “protect” code doesn’t extend to securing a home they made vulnerable.

I relate this to give you an idea of the anxiety, fear, anger, and financial damage that non-enforcement of bylaws regarding Williams Inn has caused the residents of Yorston Gables.

As a taxpayer, never in arrears, unlike Williams Inn, I am entitled to protection by the city, its laws and personnel in order to live in a safe and peaceful environment.

This will not happen until Williams Inn condemned structures and debris are removed. Point proven by the latest fire.

It is past time for council to take action.

Shame on you. Now do the right thing.

Seniors’ Village resident seeks volunteers Editor: I am a resident at the Seniors’ Village along with other residents all in wheelchairs. When we must go to town for any number of reasons we must have someone to accompany us for safety reasons.

That’s when we need people to volunteer to come with us on the Go-Bus at no cost to them.

There is only one volunteer at present and when that volunteer is not available one must either remand that date or hire an am-

bulance at great cost.

That is why more volunteers are needed urgently.

I took the ambulance recently for that reason.

If you can volunteer to help us out it would be appreciated very much.

If you want to volunteer to help out please phone 250-305-1131.

Thank you very much, Peter Teichroew Williams Lake

International volunteering a joy Sean Glanville Special to Tribune/Advisor At only 31, Melanie Berger has visited six continents and nearly 50 countries and has seen and done things the average person could only dream of.

One could say that the travel bug and wanderlust was in Melanie’s DNA from the time she was born. After all, she is the daughter of parent’s who thought it would be fun to wed at the socalled ‘top of the world’ in Point Barrow, Alaska.

“I was born with the travel bug.

It runs in my blood and keeps me moving from place to place,” Berger says.

Berger currently lives in Chile with her husband, Pablo, whom she met at the Trece Lunas Hostel in Ancud, Chile in May, 2013.

“Pablo’s best friend is the owner of this hostel I was staying at and he came to visit his friend, and that’s when our paths crossed,” said Berger. “I couldn’t ever imagine this is where I’d be two years ago but that’s what I love about life as it always surprises me with wonderful adventures and challenges.”

Pablo and Melanie call Ancud home and the town is located on an island in southern Chile.

“I love Ancud because it has that small town feel, like Williams Lake. The people are friendly and have a big sense of humour – they love laughing,” said Berger. “The lifestyle is very easy going, something that one tends to find on small islands.”

Her parents, Willy and Verena, immigrated to the Cariboo from Switzerland in the late 1970s and bought a hobby farm in Spokin Lake where they raised Melanie and her brother Oliver.

By the time she graduated, Melanie had already racked up the airmiles which included a few overseas trips to see family in Switzerland, a high school science trip to Florida and volleyball trip to Hawaii.

She also took a six-week French language trip to Quebec City.

Initially headed to Quebec with a friend, she ended up going alone after the friend backed out, something she credits as a stepping-stone to her world travel ambitions.

“The trip to Quebec may have been where I gained confidence and learned a lot about myself as it was very challenging,” said Melanie.

While many of her friends set down roots long ago having children and working the same job in the same town for years, Melanie’s longing for adventure and

“I was considering the idea of settling down especially once I got to South America in 2013.

“I’d wanted to travel here for about 10 years and when I finally arrived I met Pablo and things just clicked,” said Berger.

“I love the Spanish language and Latin culture and feel very comfortable here.”

Melanie and Pablo were married this past March at a small intimate ceremony in Ancud.

They spent last summer in Williams Lake where Pablo was introduced to her parents who still reside in the lakecity, Willy is a recently retired realtor and Verena is a writer.

“We loved coming back home — it was a fantastic experience for us both. For Pablo it was great to have the opportunity to travel and live in Canada as he had never travelled outside of South America,” said Berger.

Pablo’s family has a restaurant and Penguin Travel tour company which they both work for on occasion. Melanie also works as an English teacher and often translates on the tours for English and German visitors.

Berger graduated from Columneetza in 2000 and spent her childhood ski racing, playing vol-

Her current fitness regime includes long distance running and yoga.

She graduated from the University of Victoria in 2006 where she double-majored in Hispanic and Germanic Studies.

While pursuing her degree, Melanie studied abroad in Alicante, Spain and Kassel, Germany and worked two years at a restaurant in Grünwald, Switzerland.

After graduation Melanie spent the next few years living in Vancouver working as an administrative assistant for a mining company and a legal assistant for A&W Food Services.

Growing up in a small town left an imprint on Berger as she never saw herself living in a big city.

“Vancouver is a beautiful city but I knew I wouldn’t stay there long term because I prefer small towns,” said Berger.

Her love of travel does not often go hand in hand with her professional life as twice she’s quit her job and sold most of her belongings to pursue her next great adventure.

“When I travel I enjoy taking my time so have found it difficult to continue working for a company that only provides me with a few weeks holidays per year,” said Berger.

“I enjoy having flexibility and value my time greatly — my lifestyle here in Chile provides me with exactly that.”

There are a few causes near and dear to Melanie’s heart which she familiarized herself with along her sojourns.

“I’ve loved elephants since I was born and have a natural connection and passion for them,” said Berger.

She dreamt of seeing elephants in their natural habitat and in the Fall of 2008 her dad took her to Tanzania on what she describes as the trip of a lifetime.

Five years later while travelling Bolivia, Melanie got a tattoo on her foot of the first elephant she saw in the wild during this trip.

In March, 2014 Melanie also volunteered at WFFT (Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand) where she worked up close with elephants in Thailand.

“It was extremely hard work — very physical — from 6 a.m. to dusk we cleaned out the enclosures, fed and washed the elephants and much more.”

Some of Berger’s other travel highlights include climbing to the peak of Huayna Potos (6,088m) travelling alone in Bolivia which she describes as a ‘great physical and mental challenge’.

She also recalls when she and two friends refurbished an old van to live and travel in around Europe.

“We visited many ski resorts and called ourselves the Powder Hounders, and the van Powder Hound,” said Berger.

On that trip they drove 22,400 kilometres and visited 22 countries in just four months.

Melanie always has pending travel plans and lists New Zealand, Nepal, Iceland, Norway, Kenya and more of South America as future destinations.

She also hopes to return to Canada next year, but plans to stay living in Chile for the longterm.

Rare Buddhist artifacts to visit Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Williams Lake is one of only two cities in B.C. hosting a world tour of ancient and sacred Buddhist relics from around the world this summer.

The exhibition which, originates in London, England and is stopping in Vancouver and Williams Lake Aug. 14-16 before heading to Regina, Saskatchewan, says Colleen O’Neill, Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre director.

“We are very excited and honoured to be hosting this relic tour in Williams Lake,” O’Neill says.

The exhibition will be housed in the cafeteria at Thompson Rivers University with opening ceremonies on the Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and viewing again Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Visitors gather around one of the displays of the Maitreya Loving Kindness exhibition of ancient and sacred Buddhist artifacts when the tour visited Basel, Switzerland in 2011. There are more than 3,000 relic in the exhibit which has visited 68 countries on its world tour and will be in Williams Lake Aug. 14-16 at the TRU campus. hibition of ancient and sacred relics from the historical Buddha Shakyamuni and 44 other Buddhist masters from Tibet, India and China.

The purpose of the tour is to share the sacred relics to create community gatherings focused on loving kindness and openness with the goal of fostering local and global harmony.

“Nearly everyone reports some kind of change or shift, whether it is releasing physical or emotional pain or experiencing a profound sense of peace,” said tour manager Amanda Russell, in the release announcing the visit.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche founded the tour in 2001 when he put his own collection of relics on tour

with contributions from others. Since then the exhibition has visited 68 countries and been viewed by 2.5 million people.

In all there are 3,000 relics in the collection including those offered to the tour by His Holiness the Dalai Lama which are more than 2,600 years old, a collection from the Sakya Reli-

quary in Tibet, and also from Meiktila Museum in Burma.

Most of the relics in this collection resemble multi-coloured pearl-like crystals that in Tibetan are called ‘ringsel’ and in Sanskrit they are known as ‘Sarira.’

It is believed that relics embody the master’s spiritual qualities of compassion and wisdom and are deliberately produced by the master at his death.

The crystal relics were found among the cremation ashes of these masters.

“When these individuals were alive, they were practicing universal values, like for example, unconditional love, compassion, patience. Those qualities don’t belong to any one kind of religion.

It is universal,” said Ven. Thubten Norbu, a Buddhist nun and one of the tour managers.

“So, the relics are really the manifestation of love and kindness and compassion. That is the real meaning.”

A previous tour host Kevin Thoren agrees: “It’s important for people to realize that loving kindness is the foundation of most all religions.

So even though it’s a Buddhist exhibit, it goes beyond any specific religious philosophy and gets at what’s important.”

Actors Sophia (Ringwood) Schneider and Michael Rawluk sit in the Studio Theatre seats to work out a scene with director Sylvia Swift for the Gwen Pharis Ringwood play Garage Sale staged by the club this winter. The Studio Theatre is looking for help from the public to purchase new seats for the theatre.

In each of our last two seasons the Studio Theatre has conducted a patron survey and discovered that the most requested improvement to our theatre was new seating.

This has been a needed upgrade for some time and, therefore, last season we set the wheels in motion to start a seating replacement and theatre refurbishment project.

The purchase of new seating is a significant investment for our

small and enduring community theatre, and we are now asking our patrons and supporters to help us raise the funding we need.

Seat sponsorship is available for a $300 tax deductible donation per seat. Your donation will contribute directly to our refurbishment project and greatly support the Williams Lake Studio Theatre, now in its 61st season. To recognize your generous contribution, a custom plaque will be affixed to the front of one of our 98 new seats. You

SATURN ALIEN NO ALIEN TO CITY FANS

Adults were content to sit but kids couldn’t contain their enthusiasm for dancing and playing when Saturn Alien took to the Gwen Pharis Ringwood stage in Boitanio Park last Thursday evening blasting out some of the best jazz, punk, rock and soul music to hit that stage. And it was even more thrilling to see it coming from former lakecity residents lead singer Louis Butterfield (centre), and his dad Michael (right) who joined the group on sax for some of the songs. Filling out this eclectic Montreal-based band are Mike Baelde on guitar, Kieran Jarvis on drums, Kevin Geloso on bass, and Andy Burns on keys. It was hard not to jump along with Louis as he sang, leaped and spun.

Triple the music The Sarah Burton Band and Carnival Band are on the playbill this Thursday evening for Performances in the Park in Boitanio Park.

Sarah Burton’s playful soul has found its home in music through three diverse albums, and countless ups and downs while traversing the globe. On her new album Make Your Own Bed, Sarah doesn’t just embrace indie-pop into her musical inventory, but returns to her first inspiration; the piano. The Carnival Band is an activist community band based in Vancouver’s Commercial Drive neighbourhood.

Last year they released a digital EP, travelled to Boston

and Austin, U.S. and performed at TEDx Vancouver. In 2015 the band is stoked on travels though B.C., more recording, and filling the streets with music!

Concerts run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. but visitors can set up early to visit exhibits by the Farmers’ and Vendors’ Mini-Markets that open starting at 5 p.m.

Products will be available from Road’s End Vegetable Company, Puddle Produce, Windy Creek Farm, Walk-Rite Shoes, BFF Fashions, Paper Airplane, Piece of Home, Barefoot Books, Cariboo Fruit Stand, Soul Food, Earth Dance, Cody’s Bannock Smashin’ Smoothies and Taylor

Locals win some/lose some at Eskèt Rodeo Liz Twan Special to Tribune/Advisor The Eskèt Rodeo held this past weekend at Alkali Lake was the latest stop on the BCRA circuit and several local competitors made the best runs of the weekend to win their event in front of friends and family members watching from the grandstand.

Willee Twan of Alkali Lake, was one of them.

Twan was the last tie-down roper of the day on Saturday, roping in the rain he threw out a solid loop, then pulled his slack and waited for the rope to settle for a secure catch before dismounting to wrestle and tie the calf.

The calf he encountered once he reached the end of the rope was a feisty, kicking critter that challenged the capable cowboy, who stopped the clock at 12.7 seconds to take the lead.

During the Sunday rodeo performance, eight more ropers tried to best that clocking (six of them presently in the top-ten of the 2015 BCRA standings) but it was not to be as the wily calves either eluded capture or once caught, were a challenge to conquer.

Twan won the rodeo, Steve Lloyd of Quesnel finished second with a 15.2 second-time.

Norma MacDonald of Williams Lake made a good solid run in the Open Breakaway Roping event on Sunday afternoon stopping the clock at the 5.7 second mark to win the event.

At many stops on the rodeo circuit the winning breakaway time is more often in the 2-3 second range, which MacDonald is more than capable of posting, but getting out from behind the barrier (which gives the cattle a head-start) without incurring a 10-second penalty proved a little tricky for many of the competitors at Eskèt. MacDonald, the last roper of the day had the luxury of knowing just what she had to do to take the win and she executed perfectly.

Four-year old Paisley McNolty of 150 Mile House clocked a time of 36.53 in the Peewee Barrel Racing event Saturday which wasn’t going to win her any money, but money doesn’t mean anything at this stage of her rodeo career. The big smile on her face, however, was worth millions and said it all. She was just thrilled to be in the saddle and happy to participate in the race — priceless. The following are B.C.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Eli Davies, 16, from Williams Lake helped Team BC bring home the gold at the Female Junior Women Lacrosse Nationals in Calgary this week.

In the final game Saturday, the team beat Ontario five to three.

“The final game was really back and forth,” Eli said Monday. “No one had a full lead. Then our captain scored on an empty net in the last 10 or 20 seconds of the game.”

Team BC won their first game on Tuesday morning against last year’s gold medalists, team Ontario.

With a slow start and a three to one deficit at the end of the first, Team BC came back with a 10 to five final score.

They played game two and three Wednesday against Alberta and Nova Scotia, beating Alberta eight to five, and Nova Scotia nine to four.

The round robin continued Thursday against Ontario, where Team BC won, beating Ontario nine to three.

On Friday they

The team consists of girls from 16-21 years of age. Eli is one of the five players under 18 years of age.

“It has been an unbelievable experience playing with the older girls,” Eli said. “I learned a lot for sure.”

Eli played with the local Bighorns association for five years be-

at the nationals they garnered the bronze.

This year’s win she credited to the team’s good and unreal coaches. After being selected at tryouts in the spring, Eli travelled to practice for six weeks in the Lower Mainland.

She is going into Grade 12 at Lake City Secondary School and also plays on the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Girls Rep team.

Early arrival advised for SkyFest Annie Gallant Special to Tribune/Advisor With SkyFest 2015 just days away, the Observer caught up with Barb van Halderen and chatted about some of the key elements of Quesnel’s International Airshow coming up this weekend.

As was evident at the 2013 SkyFest, arriving early was the key to avoiding the long highway lineups and the subsequent slow progress into the airport.

Also with your tickets already purchased, you will move quicker through the lineup.

With crowds expected to be bigger this year, ensuring everyone has the quality experience is paramount with all the organizers and volunteers.

The Friday night, July 31 Twilight Show, new this year, will allow patrons to enter the grounds at 7 p.m. with the show start at approximately 8 p.m. and ending about 9:45 p.m.

On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 8 a.m. and the pre-show aerobatics begin at 10 a.m. Opening ceremo-

For the kids in the crowd, the Kidz Zone is expanded to include wet inflatables so parents, your children could get wet (lets say they will get wet.)

Another addition, and SkyFest 2015 is the only airshow to offer this exclusive opportunity, is the Orange Zone.

In a fenced off area civilian performance aircraft will be moved

in, accompanied by their pilots. Spectators can get up close and personal for pictures and conversation with the pilots and their planes.

Expect this to become a new feature at other airshows as the word gets around.

A word on safety.

“Public safety is paramount from the performance point of view,” Barb said.

“The performers are kept strictly within the aerobatic box (called

the hot box) which is marked so pilots can see it which keeps them specific distances from spectators. That includes any public roads which fall within the box. That’s why there will be a road closure on the Quesnel Hixon Road while the military jets are flying.”

As for spectator safety and wellness on the ground, organizers have tried their best to account for any issues people may have. Throughout the

grounds, volunteers in light blue T-shirts are knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions or direct people as required.

“There are misting stations for heat relief and first responders are on site with radio contact,” Barb said.

On the grounds, several food vendors will offer a wide variety of food and drink. There is also an ATM on site.

Both bathrooms and recycle and garbage bins will be plentiful.

Everyone appreciates crowds that use the recycle and garbage bins.

“Remember any refuge is a potential aircraft hazard, dispose of your waste respectfully,” Barb added.

Although it’s been said many times, bringing pets to an airshow is a very bad idea. The shows are loud and can be frightening to pets.

Leave them comfortably at home.

Smoking is strongly discouraged due to the extreme dry conditions but having said that there will be a designated smoking areas, well-removed from the spectator area.
