One man stabbed in altercationA man is in stable con-
dition after being stabbed in Williams Lake Sunday.
Police responded to a complaint of a distur-bance in the 900 block of Western Avenue at 6:34 p.m. on May 31, North
District RCMP noted in a press release Monday.
“Initially, it is believed that two women were fighting out front of a residence,” the RCMP said. “During the fight, a group of people came out
of a nearby residence and attacked one of the men who was with one of the women involved in the fight.”
It is believed that one of the attackers punched the victim in the face, stabbed
him twice, and then fled the scene.
The victim was taken to hospital.
“This is believed to be an isolated incident as the parties involved are well known to police,” the
RCMP said. “Police are attempting to identify the person responsible.”
Anyone with knowl-edge of the incident, is asked to contact the Wil-liams Lake RCMP at 250-392-8707.

HELP THE CITY SAVE WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT
WITH THE LOW FLOW TOILET/APPLIANCE REBATE
PROGRAM
Many homes in Williams Lake are equipped with older toilets, dishwashers or clothes washers that require more water to operate. New low � ow toilets and appliances require much less water while doing the same function.
By replacing your old toilet and appliances, you could use up to one-third less water! That could save the average household more than 300 liters per day, or 100,000 liters per year.
The City is offering a MAXIMUM of two rebates per residential unit per year.

Lightning-caused fires keep crews busy
The Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) re-sponded to another six new lightning-caused wildfires during the weekend of May 29 to May 31, said Em-ily Epp, communica-tion specialist with the Wildfire Management Branch Monday.
“We had a couple in each of our planning zones. We discovered
two Friday, two Satur-day and two Sunday, but they were all small fires.”
Four of the wildfires have been put out and crews are responding to the fifth one located at the north side of Young Lake east of 70 Mile House and the sixth one at Bowl-ing Point on the North Arm of Quesnel Lake.
During the weekend of May 22-24, there were 10 lightning-
caused fires, with the majority of them sparked in the 100 Mile House area.
“We are seeing a surprising amount of lightning-caused wild-fires for this time of year,” Epp said.
“On average we see about seven, and some years it is much less. Last year we had one lightning-caused fire.”
The CFC expects during the next few days that it will be
responding to small lightning-caused fires, Epp said, adding the centre is very appre-ciative of the public’s quick reporting so the fires can be kept small.
Air patrols are also done periodically over areas that have been hit with the most light-ning to keep an eye out for any smoke.
The Cariboo Fire Centre has responded to 69 fires since April 1, 2015.
A total of 297 sec-ondary school gradu-ates are ready to mark a milestone this week-end in Williams Lake.
While each school has or will hold its graduation ceremonies separately, all gradu-ating students from the Cariboo Adven-tist Academy, GROW Centre and Skyline School, Maranatha Christian School, and Lake City Secondary will join together for the parade and dry
grad celebration being held Saturday, June 7.
Everyone is invited to view the grad parade which begins at 6 p.m.
You can expect the unexpected as the grads display their “mode of transporta-tion.” From fancy cars, tractors, even muddy ATVs, the fun-filled cavalcade begins at the corner of Comer Street and Second Av-enue, continuing down Second Avenue, left on Borland Street,
then left on Third Av-enue, along to Proctor Street where they make a right which will take them to their destina-tion at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, where they will “arrive in style” for their Dry Grad celebration.
All participants mus-ter by entering Second Avenue via Rose Street off of Mackenzie Av-enue North at 5 p.m.
Water and snacks will be provided at the start of the parade.
Grads ready to go
Vacant hotel vandalizedThe vacant Slum-
ber Lodge has taken another beating after vandals broke in and did extensive damage.
For almost three years the building’s windows and doors have been boarded up after the city ordered the owners to block access to the site.
There was also a small fire at one end
of the building in June 2012.
“It’s been a prob-lem with ongoing in-cidents,” Mayor Walt Cobb said Tuesday. “People have been get-ting in there and rip-ping off the plywood.”
City workers went in Monday to do some more boarding up and the bill will be sent to the owners, Cobb said.
“I had been been trying to work with the owners because I
thought I had potential purchaser. But now I think the building is al-most past the stage of being salvaged.”
The owner lives in the Lower Mainland, is in his 80s, and is turn-ing the motel over to his children.
“Obviously they are a fairly wealthy family because the kids are not interested,” Cobb said. “The last time I talked with him he said they were off in
Hawaii and didn’t re-ally care and I’m in my 80s and not interested in starting to rebuild.”
The city will have to work with its by-law enforcement office to see if the building can be condemned and maybe force the owner to rip it down, he added.
“It’s dangerous and someone’s going to get in there, start another fire and there’s going to be a real problem.”

Suspect arrested after pretending to be US Marshal
A driver is facing a charge of undue care and attention after he fell asleep while driv-ing a tractor trailer along Highway 97 in Williams Lake on Thursday.
“At 3:34 in the morn-ing, May 28, we got a call the truck was lying on its side on Signal Point Road,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said.
“The driver was trapped in the cab with minor injuries but RCMP members were able to get him out.”
The driver, who was able to walk, went to Cariboo Memorial Hos-pital for minor injuries.
***A local man was ar-
rested Friday in Wil-liams Lake after threat-ening a business owner while pretending to be a U.S. Marshal, RCMP said.
The Williams Lake RCMP attended a weapons complaint on Marwick Drive at 6:42 a.m. Friday morning.
“The caller advised that an unknown man entered his business
and identified himself as a United States fed-eral officer,” the RCMP said. “The suspect stat-ed he was looking for two specific men whom he claimed were want-ed for extortion and murder.”
When the business owner did not take the man seriously, the sus-pect pulled out what appeared to be a hand-gun from a holster and pointed it at the busi-
ness owner, the RCMP said, adding the suspect eventually left the busi-ness, leaving the owner physically unharmed.
Investigators were able to identify and ar-rest the suspect with-out incident at around 10:30 a.m. Friday morning.
While several fire-arm and threat-related charges will be recom-mended, the police said they believe this is an
isolated incident and the public is not cur-rently at risk.
***Police seized a
weapon after an inves-tigation led them to the building next to the Sta-tion House Gallery.
Early Friday police received a call, found a vehicle parked outside with its trunk open, and later arrested a suspect.
“We went back on
a search warrant and found the weapon in-side the building,” Staff Sgt. Del Byron said.
***On Sunday morning
at 9:10 a.m. a driver heading north on High-way 97 turned left onto Carson Drive and crashed into a parked Toyoto RAV4.
“He was charged with impaired driving,” said Byron.
Photo SubmittedRCMP have charged the driver of a tractor trailer unit with driving without due care and attention after he crashed onto Signal Point Road May 28.

City council has joined other communi-ties across the region by opposing the pro-posed privatization of laundry services by In-terior Health.
“We are talking about 175 jobs being lost in our region,” Coun. Scott Nelson said before council voted unanimously to support keeping laun-dry services local at its regular meeting May 26.
“It is important those jobs stay here in rural B.C,” Nelson said, noting Cariboo Memorial Hospital is a major employer and economic gen-erator with more than 350 employees. “We’re looking at an upgrade for our hospital right now and it’s important we make sure those jobs stay here.”
Cautioning council about “going down a slippery slope,” by try-ing to dictate how IH should run its business, Mayor Walt Cobb said he wouldn’t want IH to tell the city how to run its business.
“I don’t want to see the jobs lost for sure,” Cobb said. “I await to hear the information on how they think they are going to save mon-ey.”
During the month of June, IH will review the bids for laundry services that have come in from companies in the Lower Mainland and one from Alberta,
said Alan Davies, re-gional director of sup-port services for IH.
“We are expecting by the end of July and early August to know if IH wants to move forward on it,” he said of the proposed priva-tization.
IH’s request for laun-dry proposals is being done in partnership with Vancouver, Coast and Fraser Health Au-thority, Davies said.
“Their contract for laundry services is up in November and they basically have to make a decision with which vendor they would like to choose.”
With laundry equip-ment aging, the chal-lenge for IH is looking for money to replace it in the future, and matching those re-quests against those
for medical equipment, Davies said.
In hospitals the size of those in Wil-liams Lake or 100 Mile House, the cost of a small commer-cial washing machine is about $25,000 and half of that for a drier, much less than the $1.5 million to replace the tunnel machines used in larger hospitals.
If the laundry ser-vices are centralized, Davies confirmed it will impact jobs related to washing hospital lin-ens, however, the hos-pital would still need someone to ensure the residents’ personal laundry is all taken care of.
So far city council has not been provided a business plan by IH to make a case for cen-tralizing laundry ser-
vices, said Coun. Ivan Bonnell.
“It’s a public service, and there should not
be any changes without public consultation,” he suggested.

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

Don’t barge ahead on dam
Congrats to class of 2015
For unemployed workers, the long-term impacts of any job are not high on their worry list. If the kids need
shoes, and the mortgage payment is due, that comes first. Besides, all those government bu-reaucracies will make sure everything is Done Right. Right?
Well probably not. In her recent report, “Managing the Cumulative Effects of Natu-ral Resource Development in BC,” Auditor General Carol Bellringer says our provincial government has not “adequately addressed” the long-term environmental impact of its resource-development decisions. Those deci-sions are being made without understand-ing all the environmental, social and cultural
consequences. The Ministry of Ev-erything ( Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resources) is working on a “cu-mulative affects
management” plan but it won’t be fully im-plemented until 2021. In the meantime we’re fracking and flooding, digging things up and cutting them down at a great rate.
The proposed Site C Dam on the Peace Riv-er is one example of barging ahead regardless of the consequences. In spite of facing seven court challenges and cries of outrage from all directions, the government expects $8.8 billion construction of the dam to begin this the sum-mer.
This column isn’t long enough to list all the problems associated with the dam, but having no independent examination of the cost or even the need for the project was not a good start. Exempting it from BC Utilities Commis-sion review was bad enough but then the prov-ince pulled 5,5000 hectares of prime farmland out of the ALR with no input or discussion from anyone.
The dam’s 125 square km reservoir will have “adverse impacts” (to put it mildly) on the land, people, and wildlife and ecosystems. Heritage Canada has classified the Peace Riv-er as one of the most endangered places in the country.
So why is the government so hell bent on building the dam without even looking at al-ternatives? I guess because it can.
PS Bellringer seems an appropriate name for an auditor general.

FIREHALL FUN
Greg Sabatino photoKait-Lynn Duffy, 4, learns how to hold a fire hose from a Dawson Lutz of the Williams Lake Fire Department during an open house at the hall on Sunday.
Election act changes comingThe BC Liberal government is in the
process of adopting the Election Amend-ment Act, which will give candidates and political parties the ability to access pri-vate data about voters from past provincial elections.
The NDP, unfortunately, has gone along with the basic thrust of this law. The most principled opposition has come from Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, and independent Vicki Huntington has also been challenging the law.
The main purpose behind the law is to allow well-funded political parties, nota-bly the BC Liberals and NDP, to “mine” voter data and craft campaigns to encour-age their own supporters to come to the polls, while at the same time (and likely quite secretly) coming up with ways of targeting specific supporters of the other parties from casting votes. Along the way, they will be digging into voters’ privacy in a way that has caused the Information and Privacy Commissioner great concerns.
It is unfortunate that there has been so little attention paid to this. The amend-
ment, introduced by Weaver, called for a delay in implementing the law until there was more public consultation. While the NDP supported the amendment, the BC Liberal majority voted against it.
B.C. is, in some ways, the wild west of politics. There are no restrictions on do-nations from businesses, associations, wealthy individuals or unions to politi-cal campaigns. While there are limits on spending during campaigns, the most cru-cial and strategic spending is often done before the campaign is underway. Now the political parties are being handed another tool that, in a day and age when it is easier than ever to collect a raft of data about individuals, will allow them to hone their message and specifically target individuals. Citizens should always be suspicious when governments bring in new laws that are not even on the radar screen for ordinary people.
This law is an invasion of privacy and will only lead to political manipulation, all in the name of winning an election.

Postal cutbacks hurt Chilcotin
Barnett proclaims June Invasive Species Action Month
Editor:
I have been a member of Citi-zens on Patrol since November 2012. When I was in my senior year in high school, Bob McIntosh had already recruited Chris Dowe. When Bob explained the pro-gram to me, it interested me so I joined and was inspired to join the RCMP Youth Academy in spring 2013. That also helped me make my career choice. I am one of four original members at the youth program that started with this pro-gram and continued with it.
My partner Chris and I have had lots of experiences and opportuni-ties being a part of the program.
It has opened our eyes and we have seen both sides of life from the upper class to our regular street people that we interact with. We have had lots of interactions with RCMP and helping them by
providing them an extra set of eyes and ears for our community.
This program has enhanced our senses because we are always look-ing for the small details wherever we go that might lead us to events where the RCMP are called to for assistance.
As of right now, Chris and I are training two youths who have a lot of potential with the program and wherever life takes them. Simran has been a part of the program for three months and Raj is just reach-ing his first month.
Bob has also informed me that three more youths have been re-cruited — two females and one male who have completed the RCMP Youth Academy.
We definitely have our hands full now, which is a very good thing since most of our members are older and retired and there are not a lot of members as it is.
It has come time to invest in the future of the program and start training youth and pass along the outstanding knowledge that the older members have, and hopeful-ly prepare the youth for similar sit-uations that they might encounter.
This program is not only a bo-nus to Williams Lake and the RCMP, it is a bonus to the youth to give them a sense of purpose by letting them see that life can be dif-ficult, but there is always someone there to assist them whenever and wherever.
I have experienced this for my-self and it is my turn for me to pass my knowledge forward as this has defined my purpose in life.
I give Bob my thanks for being my extraordinary mentor and the best of friends.

Re: Cut-back in postal services in Rural BC
The Communities of the West Chilcotin in B.C. have been told there will be a reduction of postal service. This is not acceptable; we are being penalized for living in ru-ral communities.
The Canada Post Corporation Five-point Action Plan has led to the privatization of our rural post offices here in the West Chilcotin. Result: erosion of postal services to Tatlayoko Lake and Tatla Lake. We object.
The rising cost of housing in ur-
ban centres is forcing people out of cities into rural communities across B.C.
Slashing postal hours and mov-ing delivery depots in rural commu-nities before the upcoming election make this a cheap political football.
Rural communities depend on tourism operations, ranches, post offices, sawmills, medical staff, small businesses and schools to be-come economically competitive and viable. Cutting our postal services is short sighted and stupid!
The TTT objects to this govern-ment’s attempts to monetize postal services by saying Canada Post has a “responsibility to be self-suffi-
cient” … in order to “protect tax-payers.”
Health care, education and postal services, among others, are taxpayer funded on purpose. They are vital services that help connect the coun-try.
We believe that all rural Cana-dians, no matter where we live, are entitled to a full service, federally-operated post office in our commu-nities.

West Chilcotin
In her capacity as Parliamen-tary Secretary to the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett was in Williams Lake Friday to proclaim Invasive Species Ac-tion Month in the province of B.C.
“Several ministries are work-ing on this together with differ-ent events to raise awareness,” Barnett said. “There is environ-mental and economic damage
that invasive plants and animals can cause if they become estab-lished in British Columbia.”
Barnett met with Gail Wallin, the executive director of the In-vasive Species Council of B.C., at the Scout Island boat launch to make the proclamation.
After the proclamation, Wall-in presented Barnett with a hot-off-the press poster that encour-ages people not to let aquatic pets loose in waterways.
“We will have fridge magnets coming next week,” Wallin said.
People can learn more about non-native plants and animals
that can damage the province’s ecosystems by downloading the free “Report-a-Weed” app for iPhones or Android smart-phones.
Its easy-to-use interface al-lows users to submit reports on invasive plant sightings any-where in B.C., upload photos of suspicious plants they find and also view previously recorded sightings: http://www.reporta-weedbc.ca/
At the end of March the gov-ernment expanded its response to the potential introduction of invasive zebra and quagga mus-
sels with a $1.3-million program focused on early detection and rapid response.
Although live specimens of these mussels have never been detected in B.C., this program will boost protection for B.C.’s waterways with: three mobile boat decontamination units, six specially trained auxiliary con-servation officers, 24 new high-way signs to be prominently displayed at key entry points to B.C., and increased monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels.
The ability to report suspect-ed invasive mussels to the Re-
port All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline.
There will also be enhanced public education and outreach activities for the “Clean Drain Dry” boat-cleaning protocol.
“The proclamation of Inva-sive Species Action Month is a great opportunity for all of us to learn more about invasive species and the damage they can do,” Barnett said.
“I encourage British Colum-bians to get involved by re-viewing the Clean, Drain, Dry procedures and by trying the Report-A-Weed app.”

New daycare for Women’s Contact SocietyThe Women’s Con-
tact Society will receive a $500,000 grant from the provincial govern-ment to build a new daycare.
Its Kidcare Daycare will move from the present location behind Lake City Secondary’s Columneetza campus to a space between the school bus loop and Ne-sika Elementary School on the north side of Columneetza.
Under sunny skies Friday afternoon, Cari-boo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett made the official funding announcement on be-half of the Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development.
“This new facility will provide 55 new child care spaces,” Barnett said. “It’s an exciting day for Williams Lake.”
Specifically there will be 16 spaces for children aged 3-5, 15 for before- and after-school care, and 24 multi-age spaces, Barnett added.
Women’s Contact So-ciety executive director Irene Willsie described the new facility as a good partnership be-tween the society and School District 27.
“Nesika has a fabu-lous playground area that we’ll be able to uti-lize so that’s a cost sav-ing,” she said.
The entire cost of the project is $787,000, however, Spruce Lee Construction Ltd., the successful bidder, has stepped up as a financial partner and the Wom-en’s Contact Society will be contributing its own funds as well, Willsie said.
With the new daycare, there will be more op-tions available to work-ing parents because the hours of operation will be from 5 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.
In putting together a business plan to ap-ply for the funding, the WCS looked at informa-tion from Stats Canada that determined more than 42 per cent of the workforce in Williams Lake works atypical hours.
Further observation of job postings in De-
cember 2014 and Janu-ary 2015, showed 78 per cent of the jobs adver-tised were for atypical hours.
Additionally there will be a garden at the new facility and a gar-dening program for chil-dren and parents.
“All produce will be used in the daycare and given to parents to take home,” Willsie said.
Staff also took into consideration invest-ment statistics from the TD Bank where a top economist reported ev-ery dollar invested in childcare translates into a $1.49 to $2.78 return.
When Kidcare Day-care first opened it was because the WCS had a dream to provide day-care for young parents to be able to continue with school.
It has been successful, Willsie said, noting there are staff members at the daycare today who used the program as young parents, finished high school, went on to study early childhood educa-
tion and returned to work at the centre.
A ministry spokesper-son said $500,000 is the maximum a non-profit child care program can receive under the Child Care Major Capital Funding program.
Through the program the government is fund-ing the creation of more than 2,000 licensed
childcare spaces by 2016 and under its BC Early Years Strategy, the Prov-ince is committed to supporting the creation of 13,000 new spaces throughout the province by 2020.

Proof wins zone drama festivalThe Studio Theatre’s
production of Proof was selected by adju-dicator Amy Baskin to compete at the Main-stage provincial fes-tival in Kamloops in July.
Proof was one of three plays staged as part of the 2015 Cen-tral Interior Zone Dra-ma Festival held at the Studio Theatre over the weekend.
In one of her adju-dications Amy Baskin noted that she wasn’t judging the plays against each other but watching to see how well each production met the intention of the writer.
While the Studio Theatre’s two entries Still Stands the House and Proof were in competition with each other for the coveted spot at Mainstage, some people worked behind the scenes on both plays.
Given all of this collaboration Baskin awarded the Studio Theatre the Incom-parable Mr. Wilson Zone Award and Curt Sprickerhoff an award for services that go above and beyond the call of duty for the act of theatre.
Proof by David Auburn won for out-standing production and Sheryl-Lynn Lew-is won for outstanding director.
Jay Goddard as Robert won outstand-ing actor; Dan Patter-son as Hal won out-standing novice actor; Becky Strickland as
Claire won outstand-ing supporting actress; Bobbie-Jo Macnair as Catherine won for excellence in precision and timing.
Outstanding work awards for Proof were presented to Sharon Hoffman for costume design; Shane Tollef-son for lighting design; Jenny McPhee and Kirsten Sandberg for props; Sheryl-Lynn Lewis for set design; and Curt Sprickerhoff for sound design.
For the play Still Stands the House Sha-ron Hoffman won the outstanding actress award for her role as Hester and Curt Sprickerhoff won the outstanding support-ing actor award for his role as Bruce.
Behind the scenes in Still Stands the House Cathie Hamm won for novice director; Beck Strickland won for hair and make-up design and Alix Learn won honourable men-tion for sound design.
The 100 Mile Per-forming Arts Society entry Love Letters by A.R. Gurney, directed by Marie Hooper won for outstanding ensem-ble; Renee LaRochelle as Melissa Gardner won for novice actress; and co-star, Chris Ad-ams as Andrew Make-peace Ladd III won the award for bringing text to life.

Still Stands the House cast and crew won several zone festival awards. Cast members Curt Sprickerhoff (left), Stacey Poirier, Michael Rawluk and Sharon Hoffman were busy on and off stage.

Spirit Square comes alive with musical entertainment FridayThe Angelkeys Chil-
dren’s Choir and Gad-zukes ukulele group will be singing and play a couple of fun tunes in Spirit Square this Friday evening to help Alternative Kids
Clothing Store cel-ebrate its grand open-ing.
The opening runs from 5 to 7 p.m. and the groups will be on the Spirit Square stage starting at 6:30 p.m.,
says LeRae Haynes.She says Alternative
Kids Clothing Store owners are animal lovers and SPCA sup-porters and have also asked her to bring in some friends to sing
her song I’m Your Pet and You’re My Person.
“That’s the song I wrote in my role as SPCA community council volunteer in charge of humane education,” Haynes says. “I took the top 10 things vets and vet techs and SPCA shel-ter managers said kids need to know about pet care and turned them into a song for kids.”
She says the song, which she and Cindy Nadeau of Perfect Match recorded is taught to about 600 kids in the area.
“Cindy and I record-ed it on our second CD, and made a single out of it and donated it to the shelter to use for a little fundraiser,” Haynes says.
The song is a lively little fun tune with ac-tions for kids to sing along with and starts
right out at the top of every humane educa-tion list, spay and neu-ter.
Haynes does presen-tations with the song at day cares, preschools, kindergartens, summer
camps, Girl Guides, Harvest Fair and more.
“Kids are awesome,” Haynes says.

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

Wittenberg concert supports African water projects The Cariboo’s Wit-
tenberg band presents Concert with a Cause this month to raise funds for clean water projects in Kenya and Malawi.
Formed in 2008 Wittenberg originally included four broth-ers, Isaac, Jesse, Jacob and Seth Steward. In December of 2009, the four brothers re-leased an album titled To Whom It May Con-cern.
Recently, the group
has brought on a fifth member, Lyndon Froese, who brings a unique and valuable enhancement to the group’s overall sound.
Their musical style is a mix of pop rock, folk-acoustic with splashes of other mu-sical influence in be-tween.
Over the years, the
group has maintained its core values as a Christian band and has played sporadical-ly at fundraisers and events throughout the Cariboo region. Since its inception, three of the members have been married and had chil-dren, which has greatly reduced the focus of their musical involve-
ment and switched to family centred lives.
Enjoyable listening for most anybody, the Wittenberg concert takes place at Cari-boo Bethel Church on Tuesday, June 23, starting at 7 p.m.
In Williams Lake tickets are available at Hopkins Design Stu-dio across from Cool
Clear Water, and at Johnston Meier Insur-ance,
Tickets are also available at One An-other Coffee in 100 Mile House and at Joyful Expressions in Quesnel. The concert is sponsored by the Cariboo Presbyterian House Church Minis-try.

When the new town of Williams Lake was laid out in 1919, apparently nobody planned for there to be any deaths in the village, since no land for a cemetery was pre-empted or even c o n s i d e r e d . T h e P.G.E. Railway, which owned all the land around Williams Lake had given up the land for the town, and were very reluctant to part with any more unless they were paid well for it. So for a few years, burials were quite dif-ficult to arrange.
If you were Catholic, you could be buried at St. Joseph’s Mission Cemetery, south of the Sugar Cane Reserve. That cemetery was conse-crated in 1866, and is the oldest one in the Williams Lake area. Many of our early pio-neers and their fami-lies are buried there — Peter Dunlevy, who
was one of the first to find gold in the area, Charles Eagle, the founder of the Onward Ranch, many from the Pinchbeck and Felker families, several Oblate priests and brothers to men-tion a few. When the 1921 fire destroyed most of the main part of the early town of Williams Lake, two cowboys, Johnny Salmon and Benard Weetman were killed while fighting the blaze. Their graves too can be found at the Mission Cemetery.
If you were Protestant, you could be buried either at the Soda Creek Cemetery or at the 150 Mile Cemetery. The Soda Creek site was a small graveyard which is now quite overgrown with headboards that are difficult or impos-sible to read. When this smaller cemetery became full, a much larger site was desig-nated on the side hill across the road. The one pioneer grave in the original cemetery which has survived well for the past 140 years is that of Thomas Menefee, who was another of the success-ful early gold seekers, and who compounded his fortune running roadhouses and ranch-ing. He was the man said to be responsible for the rerouting of the Cariboo Wagon Road around the first
Williams Lake settle-ment when he refused to pay a fee to the road contractor. His gran-ite headstone reads, “Sacred to the mem-ory of T.J. Menefee, Native of Kentucky, U.S. Born Nov. 1829 Died July 1873.”
Another grave, up in the newer part of the cemetery, is a small monument which stands over the resting place of Captain Frank Odin, the skipper of the river steamship Charlotte, who died of a heart attack at the helm of his vessel on June 7, 1899. He was only 35 years old. This cem-etery is still in use today. If you take the time to walk through it, you will recognize many names from the Williams Lake area, and you will notice a mix of old and new burial plots.
The 150 Mile Cemetery was located on a hill behind the 150 Mile House and Store. You can still see some old graves on the hillside across Highway 97 from Marshall’s General Store. This was the graveyard for the 150 Mile area from the early 1880s until the mid 1920s. It was never designated by the provincial govern-ment as a cemetery, rather it was land that was donated by a local rancher. Consequently the site was then and
still is on private land. Many of the grave sites have been destroyed, and there is no public access.
The grave with the white picket fence that you can see from the road was fixed up in 2012 as part of the 150 Mile’s 150 Year celebrations. It belongs to George Johnston, who was the village blacksmith for several years. He was also on the local school board and a member of the town council. Near his grave is a small half-sized burial plot. This one likely belongs to Marion Hamilton, the youngest daughter of roadhouse owner Gavin Hamilton. She disappeared one day in 1881 presumably kidnapped, and her body was found a few days later. No one was ever caught or charged with the murder.
The 150 Mile Cemetery also had a Chinese section. One of those graves con-tained the remains of a man who was a passenger when one of the large Winton touring cars operated by the B.C. Express Company went off the Cariboo Road near 150 Mile in 1911. He was killed in the accident, the first fatal car accident in the Cariboo, and was buried in the local graveyard.
It should also be noted that many peo-ple were not buried in cemeteries at all. Travellers who died on route to and from the goldfields were usually buried alongside the road or trail. Ranchers often had a spot des-ignated on their land where family mem-bers or loved ones were laid to rest. A good example of that is the grave of William Pinchbeck on the Stampede Grounds overlooking the west end of Williams Lake. Most people are aware that Pinchbeck is bur-ied there, but not too many know that a second person is also interred at the site.
In September 1921, a rather unsavoury
character named Jack Aitchison was killed in a shooting incident in a cabin on First Avenue. Although he was a Catholic, the circumstances of his death (and his wanton lifestyle prior to his death) meant that he could not be buried at the Mission. There was no other place nearby, so he was bur-ied alongside William Pinchbeck. There was no one to care for his gravesite, and the headboard gradually deteriorated and now there is no trace of his grave at the site.
Which brings us back to the problem that the young town had — the need for a cemetery, but no land upon which to locate it.
Thus it was in 1923, the village sent a telegram to Premier John Oliver stating “We are expecting a man to die in a few days and we won-der what we should do with the corpse.” This telegram made the rounds of the leg-islature in Victoria, but probably would not have resulted in any action except that the Vancouver press picked up the story. It proved to be so embar-rassing for the Premier and his party (remem-ber that the Premier was heavily involved in planning the town of Williams Lake) that pressure was put on the PGE to release some land on the out-skirts of town for the much needed cem-etery. The Williams Lake Times (the pre-cursor to the Tribune) ended its story on the topic with the words “Williams Lake got its cemetery.” And that’s how I’ll end mine.

It’s a Tuesday at the Seniors Activity Centre and Marguerite Erlandson’s in charge of the lunch menu.
She volunteers there the first and third Tuesday of the month.
Lifting the lid she stirs a huge pot of simmering hamburg-er soup.
When asked what else is being served for lunch that day, she lists grilled ham and cheese, egg, tuna and salmon sandwiches.
Across the kitchen, half a dozen lemon meringue pies sit per-fectly on the counter, waiting to be served as well.
“I made the pies, but at home and
brought them in,” Erlandson says.
“We have other goodies that Joanne Wright makes for us. There is carrot cake, chocolate cake, mat-rimonial squares and butter tarts. Joanne is just great.”
While Erlandson is in charge of the soup and pies today, Elsie Sharun has made the sandwiches.
“I volunteer here once a week,” Sharun says.
Volunteer Edna Hilts serves food at the Seniors lunch every second Tuesday.
She used to live in Williams Lake and ran Central Beauty on First Avenue for years.
“I left 24 years ago and moved to Victoria, but when my husband died I decided to move
back,” Hilts says. “I just moved back because my kids are here and I know everyone.”
Lunch is served at the centre from Monday to Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and is open to mem-bers of the Seniors Activity Centre and their guests.
The first customer in line to order lunch is Larry Toews.
“We come here every Tuesday for lunch, myself and other fellows from Weldwood who worked together,” he says as he pays for two lunches. Once his order is in, he takes two cups of cof-fee from the counter — one of them is for
his wife Issie who has joined him for lunch.
Near their table, a former coworker Joe Leconte and his wife Yolande are fixing the vertical blinds. Once they remedy the blinds, they join the Toews at the table.
“I don’t think some of our buddies can make it today,” Larry says.

Three weeks ago I was surprised to receive an e-mail from my son,
Tim, stating that while he was at a conference in Manila, he was held up at gunpoint.
He lost his wallet, identification etc. and
could I please help him out by sending money through Western Union.
This of course was a scam because we knew
he was visiting with his family in Ontario.
The scammers had gotten into one of his old e-mail addresses and had sent this mes-sage to all his e-mail contacts. I have had the grandma send me money scam, your visa needed to be protected, you have won a trip by flying West Jet etc.
It seems that the scammers have not
given up and are get-ting more inventive. The most vulnerable victims are the seniors.
Based on the above, the local OAPO Branch 93 has invited Dave Dickson from the RCMP to come and speak on scams and fraud at their next meeting on June 18 at the Seniors Activity Centre at 1 p.m.
Anyone who is
interested is invited to attend.
This year the BC Old Age Pensioners’ Organization will be holding their conven-tion in Merritt June 9 to 11.
The local branch will be sending five delegates. They will be voting on resolutions brought up through-out all of the branches, mostly dealing with issues that will affect seniors.
On May 8 the Monday afternoon and Friday evening crib players enjoyed a deli-cious supper cooked by Joanne Wright at the
Seniors’ Centre.Whenever a crib
player got skunked or turn up a 19-hand, he/she had to put 25 cents into a jar.
The money collect-ed financed the supper.
If you like to play cards, there is bridge on Tuesday for begin-ners and Thursday afternoon for advanced players.
Duplicate bridge is played on Tuesday eve-ning.
On Wednesday afternoons there is poker.
All these activities are available for just a drop in fee of 50 cents.

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

Dry weather and fast cars greet-ed race fans at Thunder Mountain Speedway’s season opener Satur-day night.
Featuring the popular Wescar Late Model Series 100-lap main event, Thunder Mountain presi-dent Bob Lowen said the evening didn’t disappoint.
“I never had one complaint. It was awesome,” Lowen said, adding he was thankful rain didn’t make an appearance at this year’s event. “It’s a gamble every year. This year we got lucky.”
Lowen said Wescar drivers put on a great show.
After roaring around the track for 100 laps, and with only three restarts throughout, Harrison Hot Springs’ No. 18 Ian Graham nabbed his fourth consecutive Wes-car Late Model Touring Series win dating back to last season.
Not to be outdone, former Wil-liams Lake resident, No. 19 Korbin Thomas, was hot on his heels in second place while third place went to No. 27 Quesnel’s Mark Berriau. Williams Lake’s Ryley Seibert, No. 9, picked up fifth after a solid fourth-place outing during race one of the series earlier in Vernon.
Next up for the speedway is Fan Appreciation Night June 13, fol-lowed by the popular Stampede weekend racing June 26-28.

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

Hoyer takes sixth at round one of nationals
Now in his ninth sea-son racing the Rock-star Energy Drink Motocross Nationals, Williams Lake’s Brock Hoyer is no stranger to the challenge at hand.
Heading into round one of the series last
weekend at Kamloops’ Whispering Pines Raceway, Hoyer said he had his sights set on a top 15 finish.
“[There were] lots of fast guys from the States,” Hoyer said, noting he had the
eighth fastest qualify-ing time in the morn-ing. “I felt good out of 47 riders.”
In the first moto of the day Hoyer worked his way up to the eighth spot, staying there for the remainder of the race.
“Going into moto two I felt good, as well,” he said. “The game plan for the weekend was to have fun. That’s why I do this sport.”
Starting in ninth, Hoyer managed to im-prove on his first race, taking a sixth-place finish.
“Even though it wasn’t a podium, I’m very happy with that six,” he said. “I worked hard and left nothing on the table. I can’t lie — I was feeling a little sore for Monday morning work.”
Next up for Hoyer, who said he plans to race just two national series events this year, is race three of the se-ries in Calgary at the Wild Rose MX Park on June 15.
Locals qualify for rodeo finals
Three lakecity cow-boys and cowgirls rode their way to Valemount last week-end for the last high school rodeo before finals.
Kaylee Billyboy, Melanie Wintjes and Wyatt Armes all com-peted.
In breakaway rop-ing Billyboy secured
a fast 3.7-second time for first place Sunday, after placing third on Saturday with a 5.1-second rope, qual-ifying her for finals in breakaway roping to go along with a pole bending final qualifi-cation.
“I moved from 15th to eighth in the stand-ings in the south,” Bil-
lyboy said. Armes showed grit
in his tie-down roping and has also qualified for boys cutting.
Wintjes, meanwhile, won the Queen event and will also be com-peting at the BC High School Rodeo Finals, along with her team-mates, June 11-14 in Kamloops.
Photo submittedKaylee Billyboy competes in breakaway roping during last September’s Peachland High School Rodeo.

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