Canada Revenue scam targeting locals Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Williams Lake RCMP have received several reports of the Canada Revenue scam, warned Staff Sgt. Del Byron Thursday.

“Our staff are telling us the scammers will call elderly people and tell them they owe Revenue Canada ‘X’ amount of dollars,”

%

Byron said. “They will say you have to pay the money and if you wire it in by a certain deadline you won’t have a problem, but if you don’t then they will call the RCMP.” On its website, Canada Revenue Agency explained the scam can begin with a phone call, email or letter fraudulently claiming to be from the CRA. People will be asked to verify

personal information, such as a social insurance, credit card, bank account, and passport numbers, in order to receive a refund or benefit payment.

Providing personal information will not get you a refund or payment, but will only serve to compromise a person’s credit, CRA warned.

For further information on the ‘Canada Revenue Scam,’ go the

CRA website at http://www.craarc.gc.ca/ntcs/bwr-eng.html.

For more information on phishing (online theft) and other frauds and scams, go to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

Byron encouraged anyone who receives a call or mail about the scam to contact the local detachment at 250-392-6211.

Political representatives tour Mount Polley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After touring the Mount Polley Mine breach site Wednesday with other politicians and officials, Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond said he was relieved to see the restoration work being done in the Hazeltine Creek area.

“I am pleased to stand on the ground today and see the clear water running in the creek, the vegetation growing and the area partially repaired,” Richmond said, adding to see it in person also gave him a better understanding of the magnitude of the breach.

Mayor Walt Cobb was also impressed.

“When you compare it to a year ago it’s amazing to see what we’re back at now,” Cobb said.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett was on site the day of the breach on Aug. 4, 2014 and said a year later it looked like a different place.

Cariboo North MLA

Coralee Oakes thanked the company for communicating with communities throughout the year.

“All along you communicated what was happening,” Oakes told Imperial Metals staff.

“You recognized that there were fears and concerns and were able to respond.”

It was the first time Mining Association of Canada president and CEO Pierre Gratton had visited the breach site.

Specifically, he was impressed with the spreading of woody debris along the Hazeltine Creek restoration area.

“You are going the extra mile to really restore this place,” Gratton said.

Likely community co-ordinator Lisa Kraus reminded the group that many of the people working on the restoration work live in the area and want it to look nice.

“They are giving it their heart and soul,” Kraus said. “One of the fellows on the excavator is from Mitchell

LOOKING FOR A TEAM OF Bay and he’s going to do his best to make it look good for us who live here. I know they are working for you and you guys designed it, but we want it to look the best it can.”

To date the company has spent $67 million on remediation and while he couldn’t pinpoint when the work will be completed or how much more it will cost the company, Imperial Metals vicepresident of corporate

affairs Steve Robertson anticipated it will still take a “long time” to get to the end.

“It is a major milestone that we got the mill up and running Tuesday,” Robertson said, noting there are 186 people working and he’s hopeful that number will reach 220.

To return to the 370 employee mark the mine had prior to the breach would require the company acquiring a water discharge

permit and a long-term plan for a tailings storage facility, said Mount Polley Mine general manager Dale Reimer.

“We still have a number of hurdles to overcome,” he said.

The sooner the company can stop using the Springer Pit to store tailings the better, said Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch.

“One day we will have to dig all the tailings out of Springer Pit because the biggest

2014 that spilled millions of cubic metres of tailings and water into Hazeltine Creek, Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake instantly closing the mine.

“When we found out there was absolute shock,” said United Steeworkers Local 1-425 president Paul French.

“No one could believe it had happened and the devastation it actually did. When I first went out there I thought ‘holy moly this can never get cleaned up’ but it did.”

French credited Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s efforts, insisting a lot of the remediation work would have never happened without her.

“When the breach happened there was a USW convention in Las Vegas and there was no expertise around to help me out so I called Donna,” French said.

The two met with Premier Christy Clark and secured a commitment from Imperial Metals, Mount Polley Mine and the government to have the employees of the mine do the remediation work.

“With that the cleanup started, all the fears of the contamination got cured, and while we’re not going to know what all the doomsday fears will be for another four years, we believe right now everything is going as planned.”

The amount of work done by the employees to restore Hazeltine Creek is overwhelming, French added.

“They went from mining to almost being landscapers.”

It is still difficult for the workers who have kept their jobs because so many have been laid off, he added.

Dairy Queen provided all the food for a rally held Tuesday at Boitanio Park in support of Mount Polley Mine and its laid off workers.

“This rally today is to let people in our area know that people are still not employed and the mine itself has an impact on all the communities around us.”

French also emphasized the role of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands in the aftermath of the spill.

“They are the group sitting out there being the watch dogs to make sure government is doing what it’s supposed to be doing and that Mount Polley Mine does what it says it’s going to do,” French said.

With the First Nations, who have no bias except to protect the land, watching what’s being done, the mine can restart, he

added.

The idea for the rally was proposed by Adrian Monks, a laid off equipment operator from the mine.

“I came up with the idea but I didn’t do all the work,” Monks said.

“I would like to thank everyone for coming out, this beats my expectations by a long shot.”

Monks thanked Dairy Queen for the food, Cariboo GM for the barbecues, and union workers for helping serve up free hamburgers, hotdogs and dessert to everyone in attendance.

The band Busted Remedy also played.

want everybody to go back to work as quickly and safely as possible,” Monks said.

Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said it has been a privilege to work hand in hand with the mine, the ministries and the union.

“The Ministry of Mines and Environment staff have been on top of this mine because they realize how important it is to the environment, the economy and the families,” Barnett said.

Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes commended Mayor Walt Cobb for his “spectacular” job sending the message that the Cariboo region needs the jobs at the mine.

“We need the rest of the folks working,” Oakes said. “We are prepared to make sure we are committed to working alongside with you, making sure we are protecting the environment, but making sure the rest of B.C. knows in the Cariboo we need these jobs.”

Organizers said they served about 320 hamburgers and dozens of hotdogs, and estimated between 300 to 400 people came and went through the two hours.

Likely Music Festival: helping a community heal LeRae Haynes

Special to Tribune/Advisor Bands from across B.C., local vendors and festival guests enjoyed the first annual Likely Music Festival at Cedar Point Campground over the B.C. Day long weekend.

Set up on the ball

field at the park, the festival featured lively tunes in a wide genre of music including global indie dance, gospel, country/rock classics and original songs and more.

The bands included Barefoot Caravan, Perfect Match, Country Calibre, Folky Strum

Strum, Richie and the Poor Boys, Chicken Like Bird, Flannel Roots, Sara Towle, Jeff Windborne and MystryCwby.

There was a children’s music workshop, fresh local food and camping — great summer fun with a heart-felt underlying meaning, festival

co-ordinator Lawna Bourassa said.

She explained that the festival’s theme, ‘Pull up your dam breaches’ was chosen to help heal the community after the Mt. Polley Mine breach last summer.

Likely is a perfect place for a festival because it’s unique – not

only its beauty but because of its people, she said.

“It’s peaceful and gorgeous; its own little world. ‘Only in Likely,’ we say, and we all work together,” Bourassa added.

“We don’t know the future, but we will keep this festival going. Ev-

ery year we continue to heal.

“For me, this has been great — just what we needed, and next year will be bigger and better,” she said.

“The feedback has been positive: everyone loved all the bands and we want every single one back next year.”

Foolish waste of federal funds Last week’s news that the federal government is throwing another $12 million into the Canadian Safety and Security Program smacks of more preelection engineering designed to reinforce the fear of terrorism.

On the surface, the funding looks like another boost to law enforcement agencies to fight terrorism, something most people support.

What grinds on our sensibility, however, is the large portion “aimed at countering radicalization among young Canadians.”

That just doesn’t pass the sniff tests.

It’s been proven ad nauseam that the more you try to reach young people already staggering down that path, the more

it alienates them. The funding news might have gained credence if there was a suggestion of how the de-radicalizing would occur, but the information is so vague it could range from group hugs to frontal lobotomies.

The vast majority of Canadians would prefer to see that kind of cash poured into programs that make a difference for the growing ranks of our disillusioned youth.

Counselling for mental health issues and victims of sexual abuse; education, shelter, health care and food for homeless youth would be more welcome.

The question is, where is all that money going? And, does anyone feel any safer?

Sexy health includes knowing your HIV status Knowing your HIV status is an important part of a healthy sex life and a good relationship.

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is partnering with Interior Health on a campaign that aims to destigmatize HIV and AIDS and encourage all First Nations and Aboriginal peoples, along with all sexually active adults in the region, to get an HIV test.

The partnership between the two health authorities is part of the “My Health Is Sexy” campaign, a public awareness campaign launched by Interior Health on World AIDS Day last year to promote HIV testing.

It is estimated that approximately 3,500 people in B.C. are living with HIV but are unaware of their status. The FNHA supports frequent HIV testing for all First Nations and Aboriginal people in B.C. to determine their status, and to ensure those living with HIV are engaged with care providers who will help them ac-

cess and benefit from treatment.

“We are very pleased to partner with FNHA on this phase of the My Health is Sexy campaign. Aboriginal people are disproportionally affected by HIV in many of our communities,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, Chief Medical Health Officer for Interior Health and Physician Lead for the My Health is Sexy campaign.

“By working together with FNHA and our Aboriginal partners we hope to inspire Aboriginal people to be proactive by requesting an HIV test and for those who are living with HIV to achieve wellness through treatment.”

A positive HIV result is not what it used to be. Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV can improve overall health, prevent the transmission of HIV to another person, and is available for all at no cost. Although there is no cure for HIV, there are medications that when taken as prescribed will help people live longer, healthier lives.

“Even if you’re in an established relationship, an HIV test is a good chance to check in with your mate, your doctor and yourself. It should be a routine part of your health care,” said Dr. Evan Adams, Chief Medical Officer with the First Nations Health Authority.

“It is important that we start the conversation about HIV. First Nations peoples need to know it is preventable and treatable — it starts with talking about it, getting a test and if necessary accessing treatment.”

The FNHA urges health-care providers to take Indigenous Cultural Competency training as an initial step in beginning to deliver culturally safe health services, and to ensure testing, follow up, and treatment is carried out in an effective way.

Efforts by health-care practitioners will help to achieve culturally safe and appropriate routine HIV testing, connection to treatment, and retention in care to offer a

higher quality of care for First Nations in BC. It is equally important that once engaged in care, First Nations and Aboriginal peoples are assisted in addressing the barriers that may prevent them from continuing to remain in care.

Referrals and access to support services can be a key factor as to whether the person continues on treatment and achieves optimal viral load suppression. Research has shown that an early diagnosis in combination with sustained antiretroviral therapy means HIV-positive people can expect to live up to an additional fiveand-a-half decades. In addition, sustained treatment can greatly reduce the likelihood of HIV transmission.

The “My Health is Sexy” campaign is a part of the Province’s Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/AIDS (STOP HIV/AIDS) program. Since Interior Health launched the STOP HIV/AIDS program, testing in

the region has increased by 32 per cent. Health outreach nurses are available across the Interior Health region to provide discreet and confidential HIV testing by calling 1-866-778-7736.

Information about HIV, testing, and the My Health Is Sexy campaign is available at www.myhealthissexy.com.

HIV and AIDS — Did You Know?

HIV is preventable: know your HIV status; use condoms; talk to new partners about HIV prevention; get tested during pregnancy; if you are using injection drugs, use new equipment every time (new needles and syringes).

About treatment: early treatment improves health; with treatment, women living with HIV can have healthy babies; beginning treatment is a decision an individual makes with their doctor; good nutrition, rest, exercise and other stress relievers help build a healthy immune system.

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment Now that the political backand-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronasled proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead.

The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact.

Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear — they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Ko-

rea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent.

Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of

the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry.

Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Many questions on proposed park Open to feedback on Dasiqox Tribal Park Will the new proposed Chilcotin Tribal park create employment?

Chief Roger William has claimed the Dasiqox proposed tribal park will have sustainable economic development that is sensitive to our area.

I suspect mining is not sensitive to the park area that has Fish Lake in its boundaries.

It seems to me that this is the reason for the park — no mining, no New Prosperity that would provide many jobs. In my opinion tribal parks often arise as a result of industrial economic activities that are incompatible with First Nations’ values.

Some of the reasons for the Dasiqox park that contains 300,000 hectares of land is that it embraces Tsilhqot’in traditional practices of sustenance, supports development that is consistent with Tsilhqot’in values and that it will support sustainable livelihoods through community-driven processes and economic governance.

I have not seen any development

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

in that area that would sustain First Nations people on a longterm basis.

I’m not sure that establishing cultural education camps will provide many dollars, however, if they truly do have an economic plan and put it into practice rather than just talk, it would benefit the area and First Nations.

Mayor Walt Cobb and Cariboo Regional District director Betty Anderson have some concerns with the tribal park and have sent

letters to several ministers in both the federal and provincial governments opposing the park. The letter suggests that if the park proceeds it will further alienate any productive resource land.

To my knowledge the Chilcotin chiefs have said they are prepared to meet with anyone who has concerns over the Dasiqox park.

That’s good news, and perhaps the ranchers and others who live in the area may get some answers.

The Tsilhqot’in will control much of the Chilcotin land base if the park goes ahead, in addition to the big land base they were given as a result of a long legal dispute by the First Nations group. In my experience working with First Nations in business and economics I have not found many successes.

It is good they are willing to talk to those concerned about the proposed park they announced last fall.

Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Since the announcement of the Dasiqox Tribal Park (Nexwagwez?an) on Oct. 4, 2014, two communities, Xeni Gwet’in and Yunesit’in Government, have initiated steps to chart an alternative vision for the Dasiqox corridor.

Celebrating the connection to the land, the Dasiqox Tribal Park hosted a gathering at Teztan Biny (Fish Lake). Cultural activities were demonstrated, including the building of a cabin, transmitting knowledge from elders to the youth.

Travelling by horseback through the southern Chilcotin, a group of riders also shared stories of their journey to Teztan Biny.

Throughout the gathering, discussion occurred around the vision people had for the future of this area — their homeland.

This process is one of many ways the Dasiqox Tribal Park team plans on consulting with the devel-

opment of a management plan for the Dasiqox (Taseko) area.

The gathering was important to bring elders and youth together.

It was a chance to share, spend time with friends or relations and listen to each other’s vision of what they want to see in the Dasiqox Tribal Park and how we expect it to be governed.

When we announced Nexwagwez?an we were adamant we needed to take an active lead in how this place is shaped.

We wanted to move from a place of conflict and begin a process of articulating and designing a longterm plan that takes into account economic sustainability for future generations. A timeline for consultation with the broader public will be unveiled shortly and we are open to feedback.

Vancouver’s 17-piece Carnival Band added colourful and musical entertainment during Performances in the Park, Thursday July 30, often wandering into the crowd. The band members hail from the Commercial Drive area.

Oregon woman thankful for Safeway employee’s actions Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer An Oregon woman is singing the praises of Dee Dee Sigsworth from Williams Lake.

“I left my purse in the Safeway Starbucks area on July 20,” Holly Drake told the Tribune by phone from her Ashland home Wednesday. “We were two hours out of town when we got a phone call from Dee Dee who works at Safeway.”

Sigsworth had tracked them down by going through Holly’s purse and finding her passport with her husband’s phone number in it.

The purse also contained credit cards, a cell phone, cash and ID. Drake said she would have been totally lost if Sigsworth hadn’t located her.

Drake and her husband were heading north to Babine Lake to visit friends so when Sigsworth called them they turned around and drove back to Williams Lake to pick up the purse.

When Drake spoke with the Safeway manager and he retrieved her purse, she insisted on meeting Sigsworth.

“He took me upstairs into the office where she was sitting at a desk and I got to hug her,” Drake said.

Turning around did add four hours to their trip so by the time they got to Smithers they were pretty exhausted.

“It was very quiet in the car after we headed out for the second time from Williams Lake,” chuckled Drake.

While in Williams Lake, the couple stayed

at the Lakeside Motel, which Drake described as “adorable.”

“We’ve gone up to Babine Lake three times now, but it was the first time we stopped and stayed in Williams Lake.

We had a cute little room that we could see the lake from.”

Drake is a retired ICU nurse and her husband is retired airline pilot.

Ashland is 10 miles north of the California border in the middle of Oregon and is a little mountain town and tourist attraction, she said.

“We have the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and are at the height of tourist season now.”

The Drakes have lived in Oregon for 13 years.

Before that they lived in Alaska for 11 years, but both grew up in Southern California.

Soda Creek Sweet Corn ready Corn lovers rejoice — Soda Creek Sweet Corn is open.

According to the farm’s Facebook page on Wednesday: “The top

section has ripened and we’ve put up our highway signs.

“Deliveries to the local stores won’t begin for at least another week, so

come and get it.”

Soda Creek Sweet Corn is located off Highway 97 at 5824 Soda Creek-Macalister Rd.

“This year’s art walk will be very ex-

The 2015 Art Walk and Sale was formally introduced to the public during the Per-

formances in the Park Thursday evening and will run right through until September 12.

Many of the artists featured are familiar figures at the art walk but there are a few new ones this year along with a few new businesses, Arty says.

Some special events for the Art Walk are also planned including music.

On Aug. 13 busking will be featured on the walk along with Arty and John Dell working to make the fourth annual Art Walk video.

Sept. 8 is back to school day where students are invited to take the walk.

Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. voting for the people’s choice award ends and the same evening the grand prize draw will be made at 8 p.m. along with the announcement of

who wins the people’s choice award.

Everyone of the participating businesses has a prize draw box and then there is the grand prize draw providing extra incentive for people to participate in the walk.

For the grand prize draw this year jeweller Geoff Bourdon has designed and hand-crafted a beautiful necklace featuring a 15.55 ct marquis smoky quartz stone, with black diamonds in a stirling silver setting, valued at $550.

Once again there will be more chances to win the grand prize, based on the number of passport stamps walkers collect at the businesses they visit.

This year 11 stamps will provide one entry; 12 to 24 stamps, two entries; 25-37

McLeese Lake hosts jamboree jamboree, put on by the Cariboo Chilcotin Metis Association in cooperation with the BC Metis Federation, includes local sponsors and great community support.

“This is just how we grew up — with cousins, uncles and aunties

sitting around playing music, and it just stuck,” Lucier said.

“Thank God for our volunteers. We even have people coming

from Bear Lake to cook for us — they love it here.

This is good music, good food and good fellowship.”

The Birth Pangs of Death As a priest, I have had the privilege of journeying with families as they go through the natural process of a loved one dying. The journey is not easy.

The following analogy may help families during this difficult time. The dying process can be compared to giving birth.

Death is not an end itself, but a transition. Let us compare life on earth with life in the womb.

Life on earth is meant to be beautiful, but we are not meant to be on earth forever. Likewise, the life of a child in the womb is meant to be beautiful, but the child is not meant to stay in the womb forever. In the womb, the child is all snuggled-up, warm, and cozy in his or her mother’s womb. Mom feeds the child directly. Perhaps it is a scary thought to leave the womb, not knowing what is on the outside of the womb. Maybe the baby is comfortable staying in the womb forever.

As the child is to be delivered, it is a painful process for the mom and scary for the child. But once the child passes from the womb to the world, it now can be held, cuddled, and hugged by loved ones in a way that could not be done in the womb. The child

leave it because we are familiar with the known. Life in heaven, we will be able to see “what no eye has seen, what no ear had heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Death is our exit from this world of sin (on God’s time, not our choosing), and the entrance to a new life with Jesus, where sin and death have no more power.

We are to desire heaven while appreciating life on earth.

Heaven is not necessarily a PARSONS PEN place, but more

It is a relationship with God, which will be eventually able to see can already start now on earth. the blue sky, green trees, and the God came to join us on earth in brilliant sun. Life in the womb person, in a tangible way through was beautiful, but life outside Jesus Christ. God left Himself the womb is beautiful on a whole with us through the written new dimension.

As this tangible union with Jesus a priest acting like a midwife, on earth, and to continue this it is a process of making a safe tangible union in heaven for transition for the dying person ever. Sin and selfishness greatly from one life to the next, and hinders our relationship with helping the family make its God and the more we come out transition in its own way. Life is of our selfishness, the more we are beautiful on earth, but tainted able to enter into a relationship with sin, suffering, and death. of self-giving sacrificial love for We, perhaps, we don’t want to God and others.

Participants in this year’s Rivershed Society of B.C.’s annual Sustainable Living Leadership Program journey down the Fraser River stopped in Williams Lake for an evening and were greeted by locals at the Potato House on Borland Street.

Five years later there’s a community garden and compost, established by Marin Patenaude who was on the river journey in 2013. Next year the society will start renovations on the house, Forbes said.

“And we plan to cooperate with the Shuswap to grow traditional plants here as well,” she added.

Donnelly said the Fraser River is low, very warm and not in good condition for salmon.

“At some points the temperature is 21C,” he added.

Participants on the Rivershed Society of B.C.’s (RSBC) annual Sustainable Living Leadership Program journey down the Fraser River stopped in Williams Lake en route, camping where the Williams Lake River empties into the Fraser.

The group departed July 19 from Tete Jaune by voyageur canoe after spending three days preparing at Mt. Robson Shadows Campground.

“This year we have seven participants with local people hopping on and off as we go along,” said Finn Donnelly, NDP MP Port M o o dy - C o q u i t l a m who along with Doug Radies and Jackie Lanthier are co-ordinating the trip and providing program expertise.

Gordon Mack of Xat’sull who participated last year is a facilitator-in-training this year, Donnelly said.

After canoeing for three days, they shuttled to Quesnel and then travelled by raft to Xat’sull.

Rafting will be their mode of transportation until Hope where they will re-enter the canoe until they reach the ocean on Aug. 9.

Participant Christine Mettler of Kelowna is an independent social environmental researcher who moved from Ontario to B.C. in September 2014.

“It’s been pretty incredible,” Mettler said of the trip so far.

“The Fraser’s headwaters are amazing, so jade green. We’ve seen many landscapes and ecosystems.”

Other participants come from Kelowna, Lillooet, Vancouver, Surrey, West Vancouver, Gibsons and Maple Ridge. Each participant pitches a sustainability project to be eligible for the trip.

Donnelly, who first swam the Fraser River in 1995 and started RSBC the following year, said each year the trip focuses on engaging with locals.

Getting out there with Chemo RV LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Chemo RV has been helping people get their families into the great outdoors for nearly 40 years.

The business is growing, with new store construction planned for Quesnel and an RV storage expansion in 150 Mile House.

Owner Jason Bell said that the larger fa-

cility will make them a true one-stop shop.

“Parts, sales, rentals, service, storage, tune ups, winterizing, upgrades — it’s all here, and there’s nothing we can’t do within reason,” he said.

Also new at Chemo RV are units with a toy hauler box for people to bring things like quads and dirt bikes when they go camping.

“We also have the

Avenger, a new line of travel trailers this year with all new layouts and floor plans,” Jason explained.

The RV lifestyle has become quite prevalent in the past 1015 years, according to Bell, who said it’s a fairly inexpensive choice.

“You can buy a travel trailer and finance it here with low payments for a long period of time. And

it’s an easy get-away in this part of the world: you can hitch up Friday after work and disappear until Sunday afternoon with not a lot of added expense. There are so many options here; you can drive a half hour or an hour and be at a hundred different lakes.”

He noted that one dramatic change he has seen is accessibility when it comes to

purchasing a used or new RV. “It’s much easier: you have a lot of financial avenues now.

It’s like buying a car; you can do it all here,” he said. “We find the best rates for you — something that fits into your budget and your lifestyle.”

He said that technology has also definitely changed RVing.

“People want Bluetooth, USB, fire-

When it comes to finding the right RV for you it’s a matter of deciding what you’re going to do with it.”

- Jason Bell, owner of Chemo RV places, LED lights, MP3 — everything powered. It’s a very techie industry that fits with our newer customers. The average 30-something now compared to the average 30-something 10 years ago has changed dramatically,” he said.

“People want internet and satellite TV when they go camping.”

The upcoming generation is changing, however, Bell says.

He read recently that people want both plugged and unplugged when it comes to technology.

“When they go camping they want to be unplugged: we have a lot of people who want to go offgrid, so we sell a lot of solar inverters and big battery systems so they can go to places where they don’t need

power and can be selfsufficient for days or weeks at a time,” he said. “We get both kinds.”

Chemo RV does new and used sales, rentals, repairs, parts and storage. There are three journeyman techs in the 150 Mile House location and one journeyman and two apprentices in Quesnel.

“When it comes to finding the right RV for you it’s a matter of deciding what you’re going to do with it,” Jason explained.

“The weekend warriors want smaller: they want to be outside, and the ones taking a motorhome to live in for work or heading south for months at a time want something bigger.

“Getting a chance to go on this exchange is such an amazing experience, how many people can say that they’ve travelled close to 19 hours to train with cadets from a different country?” Samra says.

“I’m most excited to experience the cultural difference, their sayings and customs, the food and all sorts of training opportunities

I’ll get to take part in.”

The Army Cadet Exchange program has long been an aspect of summer training that most developing senior cadets have strived for.

Cadets such as Samra will have the opportunity to train with cadets from Australia and learn about their culture along the way.

Viktor Stamenov (left) of Williams lake poses with legendary FIFA official Howard Webb (middle) and three other Canadian soccer officials at the 2015 Dallas Cup this past April. Webb is an English official who refereed the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa between Spain and the Netherlands.

Lakecity official gets FIFA experience Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Williams Lake soccer official Viktor Stamenov recently had an opportunity of a lifetime when he was asked to be an assistant referee for a pre-tournament Women’s World Cup friendly match.

BC Soccer flew Stamenov to Vancouver to work the June 3 contest between Australia and Switzerland.

“Both national teams were part of the World Cup and even though it was a friendly game both sides desperately wanted to win,” said Stamenov. “This was something special and totally new for me. I am very grateful to BC Soccer for making this happen.”

Stamenov, 24, has lived in the lakecity since 2012 when his family immigrated to Canada from Macedonia, a breakaway nation from the former Yugoslavia granted independence in 1991, located in southeast Europe. Like most European households, he was introduced to soccer (football) at a very young age.

“I spent my first 20 years in Macedonia and soccer is the number one sport that I was introduced to and familiar with from a young age,” said Stamenov.

Despite not officiating his first game until 16, Viktor was always a proponent of fair play and the concept of being a referee actually began growing inside him

Viktor Stamenov during his childhood.

“I remember even as a young boy about 10 years old playing street soccer with my friends I was always the one encouraging fair play and rules,” recalls Stamenov. “I’d also watch soccer on TV with my dad and we really enjoyed talking about the game and comment on the ref’s decisions and our point of view.”

Stamenov is very proud to be a part of his adopted country and hopes to one day represent Canada as a FIFA official.

“I still have the same dream when I was a kid. I want to be one of the best. I set my goal pretty high and I am absolutely aware that

it’s not easy, but with hard work, lots of practice and a little luck I know that’s possible,” said Stamenov.

“I hope that one day I will be honoured and represent Canada to my best abilities in the FIFA world.”

Viktor’s family chose Canada because of the major opportunities and he feels they made a great decision.

“I thought it would be nice to try and experience something new, and after three years I still think I made the right choice — it’s been great so far,” said Stamenov. “My first time stepping on Canadian soil was at the Calgary airport and then we flew right away to Vancouver then Prince George and then drove to Williams Lake.”

The lakecity is the only place in the country Viktor has called home and his first job was at the local McDonalds and then West Fraser Sawmills where he recently completed his final day this June after nearly two years of employment.

During his tenure at West Fraser, Viktor was extremely dedicated and travelled most weekends to Prince George, Kamloops or the Lower Mainland to officiate collegiate level games.

“It was totally worth it and I really enjoyed it and tried to get as many games as I could because when you are on the field you always see, experience or

learn something new,” said Stamenov.

Stamenov is currently on holidays in his native Macedonia until the end of August visiting family and friends. When he returns to Canada he will be moving from Williams Lake to Burnaby where he will start his studies in a Geomatics Engineering Technology Program at BCIT. Viktor has been a steady fixture as an official in the local men’s, ladies’ and youth soccer leagues, as well as playing in both the men’s outdoor and futsal leagues. His brother David and cousin Darko, whose family originally immigrated to the lakecity ahead of his, also play in the local leagues.

“Having David here to support me made coming to Canada so much easier and I couldn’t ask for a better brother,” adds Stamenov.

Viktor is very grateful for all the support he has received since arriving in Canada and after a tough initial few months he has adjusted very well.

“I am a lucky man, pretty much everyone that I met in Canada helped me and are still helping me somehow. I was lost my first few months here but from the first day people around me tried to make me feel at home,” said Stamenov.

“My English was not very good — they showed patience with me and

showed me a totally different culture and society.”

Viktor also gives a special thanks to Canadian national referee Rubinco Smilev, who is also originally from Macedonia and Jose Branco, the Referee Development Coordinator at BC Soccer. He is also grateful to all the referees and assessors back in Macedonia and Canada that have helped him on his journey.

“None of this would’ve happened if Jose was not around — he has helped many young referees with his endless time and energy,” said Stamenov.

Viktor also had the honour of officiating in the Dallas Cup in April, one of the biggest youth soccer tournaments in North America with a 36 years history featuring clubs and officials from all over the world. Here Viktor met legendary FIFA official Howard Webb from England who refereed the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa between Spain and the Netherlands.

“I learned from the best referees in the world including Mauricio Navarro — considered by many the best Canadian soccer referee ever,” said Stamenov.

“He worked closely with us Canadians and having a great man like him on our side was something special.

I remember he said to me ‘the little things make a big difference.’”

TOUR DE CARIBOO - SEPTEMBER 12TH Set your next fitness challenge on the Tour de Cariboo, a 76km bike ride from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake.

76km a bit much for you?

Richardson climbs chess ranks after international tournaments Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Following two whirlwind weeks of competing at international chess tournaments, Kai Richardson said it’s good to be home.

The 12-year-old chess phenomenon played 18 games — many lasting upwards of four to five hours — in 16 days spread across two tournaments in Quebec and Alberta. For all but one of his matches, Kai competed against adults.

He first travelled to Montreal for the Quebec Open — the Championship for

French-speaking Countries — an international tournament featuring more than 170 players from roughly 25 countries from July 17-25.

He then flew to Calgary for the Calgary International Chess Classic from July 29 to Aug. 3.

“The Quebec Open was a large, international tournament and it was really good training for Calgary,” Kai said. “In the Quebec Open there was all kinds of psychological warfare going on … people cracking knuckles, people crowding around the boards.

“I played good

chess and long games but I just did not get the results.”

He also finished 23rd out of 73 entrants in what’s called a ‘rapid’ tournament where each player is given less time to make their moves than under normal rules.

Once settled in Calgary, Kai said he was much more happy with his play.

There, he finished in 12th place out of 21 entrants, many of whom were FIDE (internationally) rated or grandmasters (the highest title awarded to chess players by the world chess organization, FIDE.)

“The Calgary International was different [than in Quebec],” he said. “I played long games and strong chess but this time I got the results. It was a very friendly tournament and it was also small so I even got some private lessons and analysis from a grandmaster.”

Based on his results at the Quebec Open and the Calgary International, Kai’s FIDE rating should now rise to above 2,000 from 1,775. He will also be the toprated 12-year-old in B.C. and the fifthranked player in the country for his age group.

Ketcham Pool upgrade project.

John Bowser, director for Tango Management, explained he expects the project to take roughly 18 months to complete, beginning in April of 2016.

Both the current lane lap pool, the leisure pool and the swirl pool at the SKP will be torn down and three completely new pools — with new pool tanks — will be installed.

The existing lane lap pool will be converted into a leisure pool featuring multiple bells and whistles, while the new lane lap pool will sit in place of the current leisure pool. The new swirl pool will be upgraded from an eight-person capacity to a 20-person capacity.

Bowser said during construction there will be no pool shutdown as change room and fitness room upgrades will begin first, followed by the new lane lap pool, then the leisure pool.

“When you come in there you’re going to feel like you’re walking into a brand new complex,” Bowser said.

During the open house, questions were asked about accessibility options for the pool.

going with hydraulic lifts, but it’s still under discussion,” Bowser said.

“You could have a ramp, soft stairs which would be extended and have less depth, plus you have the chair assist if you want it.”

Another question

was asked about the use of local businesses and contractors during the construction phase.

“We try to rightsize the contract so we can maximize the inclusivity of the community,” Bowser said. “Seventy per cent goes through local contractors and

suppliers.

Obviously there will be jobs where that can’t happen … but we’re constantly working in smaller communities [on projects].

“This is a passion for us. We love doing them because recreation facilities, everyone uses them.”
