Tolko to close Creekside mill Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Tolko Industries Ltd. announced Nov. 16 it will permanently close its Creekside mill in Williams Lake. The closure will not affect its Lakeview and Soda Creek mills the company said, adding it will now turn its focus to making the Lakeview and Soda Creek mills in the city commercially competitive over the long run. The company purchased the Creekside dimension lumber mill in October 2004, along with the Lakeview and Soda Creek mills. The two facilities at the Creekside site were previously owned by Riverside Forest Products. At this point Tolko does not know what will happen with the Creekside mill assets. Site manager Mike Everard said Tolko’s immediate focus is to meet its obligations to the people that were employed at the Creekside, adding 46 per cent of the employees went to other Tolko operations.
“We are largely focused on looking after our obligations in a timely and accurate fashion,” Everard explained, adding there are 167 affected employees. “There are collective bargaining agreement requirements to be met and there is also the employment standard’s act requirements to be met. Tolko is fulfilling those obligations to the letter.” United Steelworkers Local 1-425 president Paul French said the union is making the best of a bad situation. “We have been watching this for some time with the sawmill not running and the planer running periodically. It’s been quite a hardship on our members, quite a few of them have found jobs elsewhere, but we’ve had quite a few people that were forced into retirement.” The union is “quite relieved” that Tolko has come forward and said the best decision is for Tolko to announce closure and hopefully make Lakeview a better sight, French said, adding the union applauds the company for “doing the right thing.”
“They followed the collective agreement and so we’re appreciative they’ve done this. People will get severance. There are people that have already got employment within Tolko’s other two divisions. The big thing is it gives people certainty. They know where they are.” Since the temporary closure in 2009, it has been difficult because employees didn’t know if it was going to reopen or not. “It’s always been the story that it was going to reopen so there was always the hope that something was going to happen. At least now they know that today has come and we have to move forward and get on with our lives,” French said. When an indefinite curtailment of the mill’s operations was first announced on Feb. 4 in 2009, the market had shrunk to one quarter of its former size, Everard said. “That was crushing. It was very very hard. The forest industry went through its worse economic period in recorded history, worse than the 1940s. It’s been brutal. I think all
the forest companies did what they had to do to survive. At this point the current industry demand is still half of what it was.” French agreed the decline in the market for dimension lumber was a main factor in the closure of Creekside, as well as the uncertainty of the timber supply. “Without anyone really knowing the true inventory that’s out there, the real picture for Tolko, I’m hoping, is that they are going to have what they have and survive. That they’ll be looking out for the best interest of Tolko within the community of Williams Lake. I’m applauding that goal.” People have forgotten that the mill has been closed as long as it was, French added. “It doesn’t affect you when your neighbour’s laid off or the guy down the road, but when it happens to you, that’s when reality hits. I guess the thing here is that it lightens the burden on an awful lot of people and hopefully this is the last closure we see in Williams Lake.”

Not when but how to legalize Marijuana: activist Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It is not about “if” but “how” the law should be changed said wellknown marijuana activist Dana Larsen while speaking at the Williams Lake Library Nov. 15. In Washington and Colorado, where votes were recently passed to legalize cannabis at the state level, the governors were against the laws and both said it shouldn’t be done, he explained. “Now they are in the position of having to force and create a system that they actually campaigned against having in there in the first place.” Larsen said B.C. is the only province with the ballot-initiative system, the only province where people can do the same thing as they do in many American states. People can sign up, get popular support, and impose a law upon the government, which it really has to pass. “It is still a difficult hill to climb because you have to get 10 per cent of the registered voters in every one of

of how eight provinces said they were not going to enforce the long gun registry, adding: “provinces have a lot of power to make these changes.” The second part of the act prohibits possession by minors in the same way as alcohol, while the third part calls on the federal government to let B.C. tax and regulate cannabis. “We have to bring this industry into the sunlight and regulate it so it’s safe for everyone involved. We would mandate the attorney general of B.C. to write the federal government to change the laws. Either remove cannabis from the Controlled Drug and Substances Act or just give B.C. an exemption.” In addition, a provincial commission would determine the laws and rules around legal cannabis — selling, growing, age limits, exporting, and tax rates, the same things that occur around alcohol. “We want the province to figure out all of this so that when the federal law changes we’re ready to imple-
ment something immediately.” Larsen is gathering signatures in anticipation of a referendum in September 2014 and over the next 10 months will continue to tour the province, returning to Williams Lake in the spring with a panel. In September 2013, SensibleBC will start the clock with Elections BC and refile a legislation. “By then I hope to have 4,000 people registered all around the province, well over 10 per cent, with thousands of volunteers in place so that when we say “go” they will already know who the people are that said they will sign and they will go out and get those signatures.” When the ballot is cast it will be the “happiest” ballot he’s ever cast in his life, Larsen said. In the future he hopes children studying history will see how the law was changed in his lifetime.

$233,000 gaming grants for WL charities Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Four community organizations received a total of $253,000 in community gaming grants last week. Bill Bennett, minister of community sports and cultural development met with the recipients at the Child Development Centre on Second Avenue for a round table discussion to make the announcement and hear what the recipients have to offer the community. “Part of my ministry includes giving away money, which in today’s fiscal climate is kind of rare. I think I’m one of the ministers that has a ministry that still has money in it. As long as people gamble and buy lottery tickets we’ll be OK,” Bennett said. The community gaming program was reduced for about almost two years, however, when Christy Clark won the leadership and became premier, one of the very first things she did was re-established the community gaming fund to its original level, something that Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett fully supported, Bennett said. He’d been in the Cariboo a few days on tour with Barnett to help cel-
ebrate community gaming grants in Quesnel and 100 Mile House as well as Williams Lake. “When you see the things that the money buys, it really is a tremendous program. If I had my druthers, I’d enhance it and try to add more to it if it was possible. I know that the money each of your organizations receive will do lots of good things,” Bennett told the recipients. The grants included $25,000 to the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, $75,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Williams Lake, $60,000 to the Central Cariboo Hospice Palliative Care Society and $93,500 to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association. Lorraine Levitt executive director for Big Brothers Big Sisters told Bennett she was extremely relieved to receive the grant. “After the last year or two of uncertainty, this has been an exciting and surprising announcement,” Levitt said, adding she was relieved to see the short form of the application for gaming has been released. Hospice society executive director Kate McDonough described her organization as “really small” and very appre-

Pictured left to right are Ralph Fowler Lorraine Levitt, Nancy Gale, MLA Bill Bennett, MLA Donna Barnett, Kate McDonough, Mabel Cornwall, Diana French, and Mayor Kerry Cook. ciative of gaming funds that helped fund two palliative rooms and a family room at Deni House. Diana French, chair of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society said her organization has been active since the 1990s when regions were developing land use management plans. “We have a wide variety of interests— water specifically, and encouraging people to be water and waste wise. School programs are one of the main things we do and gaming funds help us
continue to be active.” CCCDCA executive director Nancy Gale said gaming grants have helped fund her organization’s activities for a long time. “We’ve been around for 35 years and just did some renovations to the front of our building. One of the young tradesmen that came in here put his hands on his hip, looked up, and said, ‘it’s just smaller than I remember.’ We not only have kids, but we have grandkids that are coming to the CDC now,”
Gale said. The money will also help with the CDC’s outreach. “This time in the gaming application we noted that crime prevention is a component so we’re trying to do some work in that area. If we know that we’ve got a youth that’s criminally involved and there are young kids in the family that are exposed then we’re hoping with this new infusion of gaming dollars we’ll be able to work more closely with the RCMP and make that connection
between services that we provide and the community to find some ways to address those issues,” Gale said. Mayor Kerry Cook said all of the recipients provide leadership in the community year after year and truly make a difference. Levitt asked Bennett whether there will be a return to three-year funding terms for organizations, and heard he prefers the idea of the longer term. “It would be a government policy change and I
cannot make that on my own or make any promises, but I understand that it’s difficult to plan and it’s also an issue of being stressed not knowing if you’re going to have money from year to year,” Bennett said, adding the gaming program is “grossly oversubscribed,” receiving more applications for funds than there is money. “It doesn’t hurt to have an MLA that’s bird-dogging the applications and finding out what their constituents have applied for,” Bennett added.
New Anahim airport building costs outlined for CRD Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District board has approved an additional $146,000 in 2013 Community Works Funding be allocated towards energy efficient upgrades and building materials for the new Anahim Lake airport terminal building, slated for con-
struction in the spring 2013. That will bring the total cost of the project to around $400,000. Improved insulation and envelope, heating and lighting systems, and follow-up energy modelling will make up the bulk of the energy efficient upgrades. It will add additional costs to what Area L Director Bruce Rattray
said is an “expensive” project. “We need some level of assurance that this is a reasonable price we’re paying,” Rattray said. Darron Campbell, manager of community services, told the CRD board at its Nov. 15 regular meeting, there was a request for proposals, that’s where the price tag for the project
came from. “I do truly wish the cost was lower, but when you go out to the market to build a building in a place like Anahim Lake, that’s the kind of responses we got,” Campbell said. In the design build process the CRD received three responses. One company didn’t submit an initial base budget for $295,000,
and told the CRD it was a $500,000-building based on the scope of the request. “The other two submitted a basic model that did not include much of the functionality that we were after,” Campbell said. Rattray asked if three RFPs was what the CRD expected in terms of the number and quality.
“I would have been satisfied with going with any of the builders that responded,” Campbell said. “One was from Kamloops, two were from Williams Lake. I think we were lucky to receive three. The off-sight costs to mobilize from there are going to be high. To haul the concrete out there alone will be expensive.”
Zirnhelt Timber Frames Ltd. was awarded the contract. The design features structural wood walls made from cross laminated timbers, a covered storage pad for the new runway sweeper, and a second floor to accommodate an airport caretaker as required, Campbell noted in a report to the CRD board.

Green jelly to free trade
Celebrating adoption
hat do the community forest proposal by the city/Williams Lake Band, and Initial Options proposed by SD#27’s have in common? In each instance the proponents failed to consult beforehand with the people who will be most affected. A lot of angst would be avoided if politicians (and corporations) talked to the victims of French a project Connection before Diana French barging ahead w i t h it. I believe every political group should seek and heed advice from stakeholders groups, be they ad hoc task forces (e.g. swimming pool) or standing committees (Parent Advisory Councils) *** Remembrance Day has come and gone. I had a hard time listening to Prime Minister Harper’s speech on the occasion. If he really cares about war veterans he’d be treating the living vets with respect and honour and not forcing them to go to court to get their entitlements from his government. *** GD#5 and I took GD’s #6 (8 years old) and #7(five years old) to see Hotel Transylvania at the Sunday Matinee. The movie is about Count Dracula inviting a bunch of monsters to a birthday bash for his 118-year-old daughter. The monsters are deliciously gross, ranging from a big blob of green jelly to a family of werewolves. The little girls loved it but nothing on screen seems to scare them, they know it’s all make believe. *** Let’s hear it for free trade agreements. Claiming the Quebec government’s moratorium on fracking (hydraulic fracturing) for natural gas violates their rights under the North American Free-Trade agreement (NAFTA), the US energy firm Lone Pine Resources Inc. is demanding some 250 million in compensation. Under NAFTA’s controversial Chapter 11, U.S. and Mexican companies can sue Ottawa if they feel they have been wronged by a government policy or action. So we either let them mess up our country, or pay them not to. What a great deal for us. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

s some of you may know, November is Adoption Awareness Month here in British Columbia. This is a celebration of adoption, the families created when people welcome a vulnerable child or youth into their home and embrace t h e m as one of their MLA own. Musings Adopt i o n Donna Barnett makes a big difference in the life and development of a child. Children who are adopted, and benefit from the stability and support given by their new family, have much better outcomes than those who don’t have the solid foundation that a family provides. Having a family makes a difference at any age, which makes teenage adoption all the more important; unfortunately, while youth over 12 years of age make up almost a third of those waiting for adoption, they only make up about one-tenth of the annual adoptions in the province. Our government, through the Ministry of Children and Family Development, works with organizations like the Adoptive Families Association of BC to support adoption. Working in partnership, they give families who are considering adopting the support and preparation they need, so they are aware what they can expect during the process of adoption. This ensures that families are prepared not only for the joys, but also for the challenges, that welcoming a new family member entails. Adoption workers also make certain to match each child with the family that is the best fit for them in terms of personality and specific needs, and prepare each child for adoption as well. Over the past five years, more than 1,400 children and youth in B.C. have been adopted, but there are over 1,000 more that are waiting for a loving family to take them in. There are few choices that a person can make that will impact the life of another human being as much as adoption. This month we celebrate those who have made that choice, and the loving families that their choice has created. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Recognizing restorative justice Government has proclaimed Nov. 18-25 as “Restorative Justice Week” to highlight the important work of restorative justice groups and recognize their value in building safer communities. This year’s national theme, Diverse Needs; Unique Responses, highlights the adaptability of the restorative justice process. Groups of dedicated community volunteers throughout the province draw on various restorative justice approaches to address the specific circumstances and impacts related to a particular crime or conflict. In Williams Lake, a group of volunteers offer restorative justice for people in the region. “We have a very active group of very committed volunteers in Williams Lake,” says community safety co-ordinator Dave Dickson. “We have a total of 30 qualified facilitators as well a number have taken the extra steps to become trainers.” The volunteers handle a variety of cases referred to them by the RCMP, Crown Counsel and in some cases School District 27. Restorative justice seeks to create fair outcomes by repairing the harm caused to victims of crime and violence, typically achieved through a process that addresses victims’ individual needs and

holds offenders accountable for their actions. Dickson says as a rule the outcomes are very positive in the region. The sole goal is to do it in a timely prompt fashion to repair the harm that has been done and through this process they’ve “been very successful.” They average 50 cases a year and volunteers put in excess of 1,000 hours. So far in 2012, they’ve clocked 860 hours, and November’s hours have yet to be tallied. Community support comes from the Ramada Inn and Thomson Rivers University who supply meeting rooms for circles and meetings. Both partners are truly appreciated Dickson says, adding the Restorative Justice Program operates on a shoe string budget, with insurance likely being the highest cost. When businesses and agencies come forward with that support it really shows their commitment to making Williams Lake a better place, he adds. Approximately 50 community-based programs throughout B.C. accept some 1,400 referrals annually. Staff and volunteers devote more than 90,000 hours to restorative justice each year in B.C.

More Viewpoints Grateful Americans are not a bear society Editor, I broke down yesterday and read Doug Wilson’s letter to the editor supporting the Republicans in America. As a rule, Doug and I do not see eye to eye, but he got me ruminating on his analogy of the dependence of bears on human food
to the dependence of humans on food banks. I thought about those bears. Most of the year they forage in the forest and create no problems until the fall, when the economy of the forest that year starts to have its effects. Was it a good year for berries? Were they lucky enough to
find a carcass? Did the salmon come back? Did they have to raise one or three cubs? If one or all of these factors do not come into play in their favour they may fail to secure enough calories to make it through the winter. Is this their fault? Should we call them lazy? Or maybe
they just had an unrealistic sense of entitlement to the resources of the forest. If Doug were a bear he would probably be a big assertive male willing to fight for his resources. These successful bears are not known to share with other rival males or even single females
NEWS
with cubs. They are okay to go to bed well fed and healthy and do not concern themselves with the other bears having problems making a living. I am glad the people of America do not want to create a bear society. I am also glad Doug is not a bear, because as any old bear
will eventually realize, at some point he may not be able to compete with the others as strongly and it might be nice at this point to have the comfort of some compassion and assistance. Sincerely, Patricia Joyce 150 Mile House, B.C.

Louis Riel Day marked by Metis in WL Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer To commemorate “Louis Riel Day,” the metis flag went up outside of Williams Lake city hall Nov. 15 and on Nov. 16 local metis gathered outside of city hall at noon to mark the day. Cariboo Chilcotin Metis Association president Laura Lee Marshall said it’s the first time the Metis flag has been erected outside of city hall and that the group was very grateful the city gave the goahead. Metis elder Arnold Lucier said it’s a really big day in Manitoba that’s starting to be recognized more and more across the country. “We have a pretty big base here. Our picnic at Felker Lake the second weekend in August is getting bigger each
year. Last year we had people coming from Valemount, Terrace, and other areas.” It is always a full day picnic with horseshoes, bocci ball, and there’s crib tournament going on for a full day. And of course Bingo,” he added. The association’s chief executive officer Marlene Swears said there are 737 registered members in the region. “We cover from 100 Mile House to Alexandria and Bella Coola,” she said. Also on Nov. 16 the association held a big potluck and celebration at the Wildwood School gym, with a turkey dinner, Santa and live music. National Chief Betty Ann Lavallée issued a statement to commemorate the anniversary of Louis Riel execution on Nov. 16, 1885:
“Each year, on Louis Riel Day we pay tribute to a man who fought to preserve Métis rights and culture, and paid the ultimate price. As an aboriginal person, I believe that history has shown that Louis Riel was in fact a hero, and was unjustly tried and convicted of a crime he did not commit.” “I believe that Louis Riel was a freedom fighter who stood up for his people in the face of bigotry and racism. I also want to note that not only is Riel an important figure to métis and aboriginal people, he is becoming increasingly more important to non-aboriginal people as well. This, I believe is because as historians look back, a different story of Riel emerge; as a man of courage, of conviction and a man seeking justice for his people.”

Life & Legacy Pre-Planning a Funeral Death is not a topic many people prefer to discuss. However, discussing funeral planning and making arrangements can be a smart financial move and one that limits large decisions at a time of heightened emotions. Every year millions of people make the decision to pre-plan a funeral. The process is also known as pre-need planning. Individuals can even take out insurance policies that direct benefits to funeral expenses. The main purpose of pre-need planning is to alleviate the financial burden and decision making during times of grief and stress. Well executed plans can make the funeral process run like a well-oiled machine. It’s never too early to begin preplanning a funeral. Making a list of information that will go to a trusted family member, executor of one’s estate or a funeral director is one way to start. Here are some items to include: * Name * Date of birth * Place of birth * Social security member * Location of will * Military service * Cemetery or crematorium * Organ donation preferences * Funeral and/or wake preferences * Name of funeral home and director * Copies of receipts and contracts for any services purchased * Any other important information, such as location of safety deposit box information, attorney names, etc. There are very good reasons for preneed planning. All arrangements can be thoroughly considered and spelled out so they meet a person’s desires. If he or she has a preference in cemetery or prefers to be interred at a mausoleum, these requests can be expressed and not assumed by family members. Pre-planning also enables a person to
shop around for the most affordable services, caskets and funeral homes. Because the average cost of a funeral is between $10,000 to $15,000, it is important to spend money wisely. Preplanning also helps avoid inflation of costs later on, enabling a person to lock in the cost of services now. Stress and grief can make family members unable to cope with decisions during the time of death. As a result, one of the most important reasons for pre-need planning is to make the process one in which close friends and family members can come to grips with the death, rather than having to run around for a few days and make arrangements in haste. This way loved ones can simply remember a person how he or she was instead of choosing clothing, disposition places, service wording, and the like.

A funeral director can walk a person through the process of pre-planning a funeral. He or she is often licensed to sell cemetery plots and can take much of the work out of the process. A community or family-owned business may have a rapport in the area and offer the best deals or the desired level of personalized service.

Timberwolves midget rep update
LeRae Haynes photos
Nearly 800 fans filled the large arena at the Cariboo Memorial Complex Friday night to see the Williams Lake Stampeders face off against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. They didn’t disappoint pulling the game into six shoot-outs to declare the winners, three for each side before the Tomahawks took the win. This game put the Tomahawks in first place in the division.
Stampeders/Tomahawks game goes to six shoot-outs LeRae Haynes photo Special to The Tribune Nearly 800 fans in the stands made for a hot hockey game on Friday between the Williams Lake Stampeders and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks, with a final tie-breaking shoot-out score of 4-3 for the Tomahawks. Wilf Robbins scored the first goal for the Tomahawks in the first 23 seconds of the game. “He has the hands of a surgeon and is a very good hockey player,” said Tomahawks coach Al Navrot. The Stampeders tied it up at the end of the first period, but
A tight game between the Stampeders and Tomahawks
the Hawks carried a 3-1 lead in the third period. The Stampeders scored two fast goals in the final minutes of play, resulting in a tie game and six shoot-outs, with Robin Gilbert scoring the goal that won the game for the Tomahawks. “There’s a lot of passion in these players—a big number of First Nations athletes and this game really showed how much community support they have,” Navrot stated. “I’ve been a coach for more than 20 years, including with the Stamps and have been the Tomahawks coach since the beginning and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
He said that a number of the Tomahawks used to play with the Stampeders, and went with that team when they won the Coy Cup. “The Stampeders are a good team with good coaches and both these teams are great competitors,” he continued. “These are working class teams and this comes from the heart.” After Friday’s game, the Hawks are at 6-1-1, holding first place in the division, and the Stamps improved to 5-2-1. The next home game for the Stampeders is Friday, Nov. 30 when they face off against the Quesnel Kangaroos.
Blue Fins compete in Prince George Last weekend the Blue Fins Swim Club travelled to Prince George for their first big meet of the season. The club had a strong showing with 19 swimmers attending the meet and was third overall. Head coach Chad Webb was happy with the results of the group and said he knows that there is a lot a work ahead to get the swimmers to where he thinks they can be in February and March when the Provincial meets happen. Nadia Klaue was named by
the coach as Blue Fins Swimmer of the meet, as she took off an amazing amount of time in most of her events. Nadia posted two “A” times which is a step towards provincial trials. David Russell and Madison Blusson made there way to”AA” times which qualified them for the AA meet in Surrey in February. Madison narrowly missed a Provincial AAA time by less than a half a second in the 200 breast
stroke. Coral Choi picked up her AAA Provincial time in the 100 breast stroke and placed third overall in the 13-14 girls age group. Notable performances came from Mitchell Ryan and Jonathan Russell who bettered their times significantly in most events. The meet was a tough one for many of the swimmers who had back to back races in matter of minutes. The times were not a fast as Webb was expecting but the
swimmers handled the three-four races in a few hour session very well and showed a lot of heart. “Our relays were exciting to watch as every team swam solid swims at the end of hard days and the swimmers were exciting to watch. It was a good start to the season with some great swims and fun by all,” said Webb. The team will now get back to work to focus on a Kamloops swim meet Dec 14-16. which will be the main focus of the first part if the season.
The Williams Lake Timberwolves midget rep hockey team had a tough go in Prince George this past weekend. The team lost to Quesnel 4-1 in the opener Friday and later in the day lost 6-1 to Terrace. Saturday the team lost to Prince George 9-0 and rebounded later in the day to beat Kitimat 5-2. The one game the team had Sunday was again against Kitimat, for 5th & 6th place, and the Lakecity squad won again, this time 6-0. Exhibition games at home for the team, take place this coming weekend, Saturday at 6:45 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m., and will host their tournament Nov. 30 to Dec. 2.

THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT!
Harlem Crowns engage audience Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After a four-year hiatus, the Harlem Crowns were back in Williams Lake for a fun-filled game against members of the Williams Lake Men’s Basketball league. A solid sized crowd of all ages settled into the bleachers at Columneetza Secondary School to watch the Crowns carry the ball and some players, cajole the referees, repeatedly slam-dunk the ball, and instigate fun with their antics, which even included stealing a reporter’s camera to take some photographs for themselves. Williams Lake player Cody Wakefield, being the shortest on his bench, was probably picked on the most, but he held his own, even thinking quick when one of the Crowns passed him the ball in his court, hoping he’d score on his own basket. At the end of the first quarter the Crowns were leading 22 to 8, at the half 32 to 21, at the third quarter 49 to 33, with a final score of 68 to 47. The games always come with a positive message and at half time each Crown took a turn at the microphone talking about his experiences. Manager Herb Scaife, number 3, told the crowd four of the team

members grew up in Oakland, CA. “I grew up in a very violent area. There weren’t a lot of gangs but there were turfs and hoods. It was easy to get into trouble,” he said. “You can give into peer pressure or you can choose your path to obtain the things you want. Sometimes we stumble, sometimes we make mistakes, to say that we haven’t would be hypocritical.” Basketball, he told the kids in the crowd, has allowed him to travel, feed his family and have fun. A friend stole an iPod once and to this day he cannot even cross the border into Canada,
Scaife said, adding his father always said every decision has a consequence. Mario Malave, number 23, said when he was nine years old, teachers and adults told him he wouldn’t live to be 18 years old, the way he was heading. That comment motivated him to make some changes, even at nine. One of the main things that helped was the decision to play basketball. “In high school I played and colleges were coming and asking me if I would come and play for them. I attended Bakersfield for two years, but after my first year, the coach told

Ask us today!
me I wasn’t living up to his expectations.” Malave decided to enroll in summer courses and work on his basketball every single day and by the end of the summer the coach agreed he had definitely improved. He went on to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation Studies.” Paul Nash, number 21, is the only member of the team not from Oakland. He grew up in Navada, a few hours from Las Vegas. Sports was seldom the forefront, his town was mostly about slot machines, Nash said. He started off playing football, but the rule
in his home was unless you maintained a 3.0 grade point average, you couldn’t play sports. Nash played for the U.S. Air Force and eventually joined the Crowns. “With athletics you can always clear your mind,” he said. “And to play basketball you can always make the best of it and have fun.” The shortest Crown, Tion Lofton, described his neighbourhood in Oakland as a place where “people were killing each other,” but he survived by listening to what his parents and teachers had to say. “They can really guide you,” Lofton said. Number 33, Damon Powell, sporting dreadlocks, also grew up in inner city Oakland. “Everyone around me played basketball so I did too. In high school I changed my ways for the better and totally focused on the game,” Powell said, adding it helps to hang around with the right crowd. The Harlem Crowns were founded in the 1950s by Chico Burrell, who was born in Harlem, NY, after he spent 12 years playing for the Harlem Globetrotters. When Burrell retired, Scaife took over the team as manager. Proceeds from the game will go to the Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society.

WINTER WONDERLAND Sleigh-bells ring, are you list’nin, In the lane, snow is glist’nin. A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown, He’ll say, “Are you married?”, We’ll say, “No man!” “But you can do the job when you’re in town!”
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay, is the new bird, He sings a love song, as we go along, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
Later on, we’ll conspire, As we dream. by the fire, To face unafraid, the plans that we made, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!
LET IT SNOW! Oh the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we’ve no place to go Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! It doesn’t show signs of stopping And I brought some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! When we finally kiss goodnight How I’ll hate going out in the storm But if you’ll really hold me tight All the way home I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying And my dear we’re still good byeing But as long as you love me so Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
JOY TO THE WORLD Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King, Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing. Joy to the earth, The Savior reigns; Let men, their songs employ, While fields and floods, Rocks hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love.

Good KiNG WeNCeslAs Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gath’ring winter fuel
Right against the forest fence By Saint Agnes’ fountain.” “Bring me flesh and bring me wine Bring me pine logs hither Thou and I will see him dine When we bear him thither.” Page and monarch forth they went Forth they went together Through the rude wind’s wild lament And the bitter weather
“Hither, page, and stand by me If thou know’st it, telling Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the mountain
“Sire, the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, my good page Tread thou in them boldly Thou shalt find the winter’s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly.” In his master’s steps he trod Where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed Therefore, Christian men, be sure Wealth or rank possessing Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing
The FirsT Noel The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. CHORUS: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.
CHORUS: This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. CHORUS: Then entered in those wisemen three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense. CHORUS:
A Merry liTTle ChrisTMAs Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us, Gather near to us once more.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Through the years we all will be together, If the fates allow, Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite, With a tail as big as a kite. Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the tree With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea. Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere Listen to what I say! The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.

SILVER BELLS City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you hear;
City street lights, even stop lights, Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you hear;
Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day.
Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day.
WHITE CHRISTMAS I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know, When the tree tops glistened, And children listen, To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

O LittLe tOwn Of BethLehem O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark street shineth, The ever lasting light, The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.
Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together Proclaim the Holy Birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv’n, So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav’n. No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin,
For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us we pray, Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell Oh, come to us, abide with us Our Lord Immanuel!
O Christmas tree
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, You give us so much pleasure!
They’re green when summer days are bright; They’re green when winter snow is white.
How oft at Christmas tide the sight, Oh green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, You give us so much pleasure!
O hOLy night O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, ‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn,
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night Divine, O night, Oh night Divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand, O’er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wise men from out the orient land. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory ever more proclaim!
away in a manger Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh.
Christmas is COming Christmas is coming, The goose is getting fat;
Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, and love me I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.

Brought tidings of the same, How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name. Chorus: The shepherds at these tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a feeding In tempest, storm and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightaway, The Blessed Babe to find: Chorus:
SILENT NIGHT Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright, ‘Round yon virgin, Mother and Child, Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight! Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing ‘Alleluia’ Christ the Saviour, is born! Christ, the Saviour, is born! Silent night! Holy night! Darkness flies, all is right! Shepherds hear the angels sing: “Hallelujah! Hail the King!” Christ the Saviour is born! Christ the Saviour is born! Silent night! Holy night! Child of heaven! O how bright Thou didn’t smile when Thou was born! Blessed be that happy morn. Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy.

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King.” Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinner reconciled. Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem, Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new- born King.”
Veiled in flesh the God-head see, Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as Man with man to dwell Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.” Hail the heavenly Prince of Peace! Hail the sun of Righteousness, Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings. Mild He leaves His throne on high, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.
Christ by highest heav’n adored, Christ, the ever lasting Lord, Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me.
Come, Desire of nations come Fix in us Thy humble home, Oh, to all Thy-self impart, Formed in each believing heart! Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.” Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinner reconciled! Hark! The herald angles sing, “Glory to the new-born King.”
WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.”
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. Fear not, said he for mighty dread, Had seized their troubled minds Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind. To you in David’s town this day, Is born of David’s line. The Savior, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign. The heavenly Babe you there shall find, To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid. Thus spake the seraph and forthwith, Appeared a shinning throng, Of angels, praising God, Who thus addressed their joyful song.

Romeros named New/Emerging Artists of the Year at Canadian Folk Music Awards Sage Birchwater Tribune Staff Writer Just before they took to the stage last Saturday at the Cowboy Christmas Concert in the Gibraltar Room, Jason and Pharis Romero learned they had been named the New/Emerging Artists of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards ceremony in Saint John, N.B. Pharis told the audience in Williams Lake they would have liked to have been at the awards gala in St. John to accept the prize for their album A Passing Glimpse, but they weren’t able to be there. She also added that nothing beats playing to a hometown audience. The Romeros had just arrived home that day from Portland, Ore. where they had been recording their next album. Pharis admitted they were road-weary after a tortuous

drive, but were definitely buoyed up by the news. “You never expect to win these awards,” she said after the concert. “You can’t pin your hopes on winning. It’s no big deal if you don’t win, but when you do it’s really nice.” The Romeros were one of 17 groups or individuals to receive awards for their work. They were among 85 nominees in 17 categories chosen from more than 450 submissions. Jason and Pharis are both well-known in North American old-time and roots music circles. Their album A Passing Glimpse, a collection of handwritten and hand-picked songs, has already turned heads, winning the Americana Album of the Year at the Independent Music Awards, and hit number one on the North American Folk DJ playlists.
Diamonds tailor-made for a community LeRae Haynes Special To The Tribune Woodland Jewellers, in Williams Lake since 1933, has once again stepped forward with an innovative fundraising project for the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust. For the fourth year in a row, the long-time local jewelry store has designed an elegant diamond ring to be raffled off for a great cause. This is the fourth ring that Geoff Bourdon has designed at Woodland Jewellers to raise funds for the Cariboo Hospital Foundation Trust to purchase cancer detection equipment. Each ring has been unique and memorable, and this year’s ring is no exception. The first ring was hearts and diamonds, the second was yellow and white diamonds, the third featured yellow diamonds with a completely new design and this year’s ring stands out with fancy pink diamonds, and a uniquely square shape. Geoff said that it’s challenging to come up with a brand new design each year, adding that ‘custom’ is based on what a customer wants, and is tailored specifically for their personality and their vision. “These rings are truly unique, but they’re not for one specific person. When I design for the store, I only really need one person to like it, but for this project I need at least 600 people to feel a connection to it.
COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK Tuesday, Nov. 20 Kwaleen meeting

Geoff Bourdon at work in his studio at Woodland Jewellers. He has created four diamond rings as raffles for the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust. Proceeds from this year’s ring, valued at $9,995. will help to purchase a new digital mammography unit for Cariboo Memorial Hospital. “When I design something I always want the majority of people who see it to like it,” he said. “There is so much detail in this ring, including mirrored finish on the most minute spaces. The amount of time definitely reflects the finished product. I can always tell when a corner was cut; I take the extra time and don’t settle for ‘good enough.’” He said that the satisfaction he takes from the rings is on a craftsmanship level. “When it comes
back years from now for cleaning or for repair, it’ll still be great craftsmanship,” he continued. After this year’s raffle, Woodland Jewellers will have donated $39,000 to the Hospital Trust to purchase cancer detection equipment. He said that if they continue this project, Woodlands will have donated a quarter of a million dollars by the time they celebrate their 100th anniversary. The draw for the ring takes place
at the Hospital Foundation’s Gala Dinner in the Gibraltar Room on November 24. “For the past couple of years I made the call to let the winner know, and one lady thought it was a prank call and hung up on me,” he stated. He also said that this cause is personal for him and his family, and that they embraced a truly local project, where every dollar raised is spent on the equipment. “Ring winners typically come into the store to say how much they love the ring. It’s blissful ignorance for me until I see the ring on someone’s finger and see how excited and happy they are that they won it,” he said. “That’s when it really hits home.” Tickets are available while they last at Woodlands Jewellers at 150 Oliver Street.

Fair wages for each item purchased is based on the local economy in discussion with local people in the developing country. Artisans usually receive 50 per cent of the payment when an order is placed to purchase raw materials and pay wages
during production. Upon completion of the order, the remainder of the purchase price is paid to the artisan group. Orders are paid for in full before they arrive in the Canadian warehouse. On average the artisan receives 25 per cent of the retail price. Another

Mobile Audio Service City grateful for Daybreak Rotary’s donation of benches to dog park The City of Williams Lake was pleased to accept the donation of two park benches recently from the Daybreak Rotary Club. One bench is located in the small dog park area, and the other in the big dog area. The benches provide a space for owners to sit while at the park with their dogs, and are the first improvement to the park. “This is a wonderful community amenity, and I’m so happy a community organization is helping to develop this park to be even better for users,” says Councillor Laurie Walters. “Anyone interested in contributing to the park in a similar matter is encouraged to call the City.” The grand opening for the dog park will be held next spring.

Ten Thousand Villages is a program of the Mennonite Central Committee, a relief, development and peace organization dedicated to helping the poorest of the poor in 35 developing countries around the world. The organization buys from more than 130 artisan groups which provide work for more than 60,000 individual people. About 70 per cent of the artisans are single mothers, and some groups seek to employ people with physical disabilities. Neufeld says Ten Thousand Villages also seeks to establish businesses in rural communities where employment opportunities are limited. Ten Thousand Villages follows purchasing guidelines as set out by the International Fair Trade Association. Among others these guidelines include trading with artisan groups that pay fair wages and demonstrate concern for their members’ welfare; provide consistent purchases, advances and prompt final payments to artisans; and protecting human rights by promoting social justice, sound environmental practices and economic security. While most organizations and businesses buy products in order to make a profit for their shareholders Ten Thousand Villages purchases from artisans who need work, not from those who can do the work most efficiently and at
Moonlite Madness
Volunteering to co-ordinate the Ten Thousand Villages Craft Sale is a labour of love for longtime co-ordinator Adina Neufeld. “As a Christian I believe in clothing and feeding people who don’t have access to food, clothing and education,” says Adina Neufeld, long time coordinator of the Ten Thousand Villages craft sale coming up this week. “It’s all about fair trade. People first and product second.” A Ten Thousand Villages gift is a gift that gives twice, Neufeld says. In purchasing the gift you help poor people in developing countries who don’t have the access to social programs that we enjoy and then you give the gift to someone you care about. She says there are many popular items returning to the Ten Thousand Villages craft fair coming up at Cariboo Bethel Church this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, along with many new items. “We have a big increase in inventory this year,” Neufeld says. “We have tons of jewellery and lots of games. Among the new games are finger puppets from Peru made of alpaca fibre.” Some of the returning items include the capiz clam shell candle holders from Bangladesh, silk scarves, recycled glass candle holders, hand carved She Sham wood picture frames, boxes and flutes from India and the popular bracelets, earrings, trivets and placemats made of recycled magazines. Among the new necklaces are some made in Ecuador out of polished and painted palm tree seeds. She says the palm trees shed their seeds four times a year. There will also be some colourful new notebooks from Bangladesh with covers made of multi-coloured pieces of cloth and hand made paper inside. She says the books cost $30, a small price to pay to help put food on the table of a poor family in Bangladesh.
30 per cent is spent on the cost of shipping, warehousing, marketing and administration. The cost of operating a Ten Thousand Villages store is about 40 per cent of the retail costs and the remaining five per cent is used to repay loans and ensure sufficient funds are available for growth. Craft sales such as the one coming up this week are entirely run by volunteers. The village is open in the Cariboo Bethel Church basement on Western Avenue Thursday, Nov. 22 from 3 to 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 23, from 3 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stay for an ethnic Mennonite luncheon after your shopping trip.

Jason McCoy brings the Perfect Gift to the lakecity Award winning Canadian country musician, Jason McCoy, will be in Williams Lake this Sunday, Nov. 25 with his Perfect Gift holiday show on stage at the Gibraltar Room. “My favourite part of my job is entertaining,” McCoy says of the show. “With the Perfect Gift Tour, I get to interact with the crowd on a more personal level. It’s going to be an amazing tour with great holiday music and a lot of laughs.” His unique and interactive concert finds McCoy performing solo acoustic with a high tech twist. Sharing the stage is a video screen that includes special guests, and features home videos and scenes from his upcoming CMT special Christmas at the Grand. Fans of all ages can expect a night of beloved Christmas classics and new holiday originals, along with Christmas stories. On the big screen behind him, he says the audience will be treated to virtual guest appearances from a who’s who of country’s top talent. “There is no other show like it,” McCoy said in an interview with the Tribune from his home in Ontario where he was finishing the video for his new Christmas song Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. These days McCoy says his biggest inspiration for song writing is his family. Indeed his young son was in the studio with him as they worked on the video and could be heard chattering in the background. McCoy says they were recording in a studio located in a bowling alley in his home town of Minesing, Ontario. McCoy and his wife and two children share their time between Nashville and their farm near Minesing

Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year and in 2006 he was awarded Global Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. McCoy’s third studio album, Playing’ For Keeps (1997), was certified Gold. McCoy was also the founder and front man of the highest selling country band in Canadian country music history, The Road Hammers. The band’s self-titled debut album was certified Platinum and debuted number 1 on the sales chart. In 2005 and 2006, The Road Hammers took home two CCMA Awards for Country Group/Duo of the Year and a JUNO Award for Country Recording of the Year. Tickets are available only at Margetts Meats and Bob’s Shoes, Workwear and Repair. Cash only. McCoy’s CMT special Christmas At The Grand, will air across the country on December 7, 8, 16 and 24.
