Prolific offender to face multiple charges Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A 17-year-old prolific offender residing in Alexis Creek and recently relocated to Kamloops is scheduled for a bail hearing in court Wednesday, Dec. 4, for possession of stolen property following a single vehicle accident on Highway 24.

The charges stem from an incident on Nov. 26 when 100 Mile RCMP received a report of the single vehicle collision, east of Homes Road near Lone Butte. “A Ford F350 pickup had rolled in the ditch and an ATV had rolled out of the truck box,” said Sgt. Don McLean, operations NCO for the 100

Mile detachment in a press release issued Monday. “Two witnesses reported a young male at the scene wanted a ride to Kamloops.” McLean said witnesses provided a detailed description of the suspect in question, who they eventually located walking on the highway. “He initially provided a false

name, but his identification was subsequently confirmed,” McLean said. Police say the truck was stolen from Williams Lake in late October while the ATV was stolen from Raven Lake on Sept. 20. The suspect was remanded into custody until his Williams Lake court appearance.

Keep Discovery Coast Route for 2014: Barnett Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is lobbying for her government to keep the Discovery Coast route running for at least 2014. Barnett said she met with the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone on Wednesday and insisted the decision to cancel the Port Hardy to Bella Coola Route be reversed. “Right now my concern is that cutting the ferry in 2014 will be devastating to the tourism industry and small businesses, if we lose this product that has been sold for 2014,” she said. “Minister Stone was receptive and said he would get back to me next week. Hopefully I’m successful.” Barnett said she laid the issues on the table she has received from her constituents. While financial issues sometimes drive decisions, the tourism industry, chambers of commerce and others have told her the tourism industry has spent a lot of money over the past year marketing the region, she said. “Not just here, but with Rendez Vous Canada. They have signed contracts with sales people for tour-

ism products everywhere, even in other countries. They have done a lot of work and have sold tourism packages that include the ferry for 2014.” Barnett also said government and BC Ferries needs to have dialogue to work with industries to do different types of marketing for 2014. If the ferry isn’t efficient, it’s not efficient, Barnett said, adding the taxpayer cannot continue to subsidize anything, no matter what it is. “I know it’s a hard blow to everybody to have to change their way of life, but in this case, when you’ve gone out and sold a product, done your work and spent your money, and you could have maybe spent your money marketing in a different concept, it’s tough all of a sudden to say I don’t have that product anymore,” she said. “I cannot accept that.” Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association CEO Amy Thacker said earlier this week her phone is ringing off the hook as businesses reel at the lack of notice and consultation on the proposal to cut the ferry route. “One business has over 700 room nights at stake and without an immediate resolu-

tion faces significant cancellations for the 2014 season. Our association represents over 200 similar stakeholders and we cannot allow this potential economic devastation to be considered,” Thacker said. Her office is compiling data to support a regional economic impact statement, and is calling upon consumers, travel wholesalers, inbound tourism operators, rental car agencies and airlines who may operate a business or book travel for this region requiring the ferry service between Bella Coola and Port Hardy to contact the CCCTA office regarding how the proposed BC Ferries cancellation may affect them. In a letter to Premier Christy Clark, tourism operator Petrus Rykes of Anahim Lake, also a director with the West Chilcotin Tourism Association, said: “BC Ferries receives subsidies from the Government of Canada for providing service to the remote communities along the B.C. coast, including those along the Discovery Coast Ferry route, on the order of $20-plus million annually for northern coastal routes.” He asked Clark if the appropriate portion of this funding

been accounted for as an offset to the expenses of Route 40, or has it gone into general revenues in order to buttress management’s contention that Route 40 is unprofitable and should be discontinued? “BC Ferries has never provided the WCTA with an answer to this question,” Rykes said. At the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce meeting Thursday, chamber president Jason Ryll said the Port Hardy Chamber of Commerce, along with their mayor and representatives from First Nations are trying to get the decision reversed. “Bella Coola doesn’t have a chamber of commerce but they have a very active voice, especially this week, in trying to make sure people know of the economic impact and what they stand to lose so that BC Ferries can save a million dollars and change.” Meanwhile an online petition to save the route had garnered 599 signatures by Friday afternoon.

CCA president discusses issues facing industry Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tight margins and ever changing markets have transformed many rough and tumble cowboys into savvy business people, said Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association president Cuyler Huffman. Speaking at the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Thursday Huffman said the ranching industry has been challenging in the last decade. Due to the Bovine spongiform encephalopathy crisis in 2003, many producers were forced to liquidate cattle at severely discounted prices or sell ranches entirely. “In our area provincially and nationally, the number of cattle is much smaller,” Huffman said. “As in many industries, margins have become smaller and tighter due to rising input costs.” A timely input cost the rancher is subject to is hydro and the increases of accrued 28.5 per cent over the next five years. “Hydro is used to pump water for irrigation to produce hay,” he explained. “On our place the rate increase will cost us over $17,000 annually or in

calf numbers about 27 calves.” Other issues facing local ranchers are the provincial government’s modernization of the water act, the review of the agricultural land reserve, treaty negotiations, dam inspections and dealing with logging industry, he listed. B.C.’s quite unique in the use of Crown range by ranchers through grazing licenses or leases, Huffman said. The Association was formed in 1956 and currently has 140 member ranches, coming from cattlemen’s associations in the Chilcotin, Riske Creek, Springhouse, Big Lake, 150 Mile House and Horsefly. Made of 22 directors, the association meets at least four times a year and at its AGM in February. Huffman said the Cariboo region holds the largest number of cattle in B.C. and in B.C. the beef industry contributes about $600 million annually to the economy. Nationally one of the largest issues is the U.S. mandatory Country of Origin Labelling (COOL). It requires beef, pork and other meats to be labelled with the country where the animal was born. Because of C.O.O.L.,

Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association president Cuyler Huffman chats with Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll after the chamber’s monthly lunch meeting Thursday at Signal Point Gaming’s conference centre. U.S. ranchers, feedlot operators and meat packers must handle Canadian cattle separately from U.S. cattle, discouraging business with Canadian cattle producers because of the hassle as well as the extra cost involved, Huffman said. “The USDA’s expected to necessitate additional segregation which will increase the impact to $90 to $100 per head. Right now it’s costing about $40 to $50 a head. COOL is costing the Canadian cattle industry about $640 million a year.” Huffman said recently the World Trade Organization ruled the

COOL legislation discriminates against Canadian livestock in the U.S. market. As a result, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is working with the Canadian government to lobby the U.S. and the Canadian government has released a list of items that could be potentially hit with tariffs as a result of COOL. “COOL is solely politically motivated and serves no purpose to the beef industry in Canada or the U.S.,” Huffman said. On the positive front, Huffman described the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agree-

ment or CETA with the European Union as good for Canadian producers because it will allow the export of nearly 65,000 tons of

Canadian beef valued at almost $600 million. “Canadian Agriculture is the third largest contributor to our GDB behind the finance sector and manufacturing industries,” Huffman said. “Feed production contributed $33.75 billion to Canada’s economy in 2011. Canada exports 440 million pounds of beef to the U.S., Japan and other Pacific Rim markets.” At a conference in Regina, Sask. recently, Huffman heard the world’s population is expected to be almost nine million people by 2050 and will require an estimated 70 per cent more food than currently produced. “These numbers are staggering considering there’s no more land

being made,” Huffman said. “Land is something that cannot be manufactured, therefore the land that’s available must be looked after. I do have a passion for the industry and feel we have something worth fighting for.” Huffman said he often chuckles about his lot in life. “Sometimes when you’re in the middle of a wreck moving cows and thinking you’d rather be anywhere but here, you will think how ironic it is that an hour ago you thought you were the luckiest person in the world to be on top of this good horse, through good country, moving good cows.” Huffman was elected president in February.

Crash sends one to hospital A serious motor vehicle incident two kilometres south of McLeese Lake Saturday at around 11 a.m. resulted in one male driver being sent to hospital in Kamloops by helicopter. RCMP said the driver suffered serious injuries. “Police believe a south bound car lost control at the end of a passing lane, did several 180-degree turns and was T-boned by a truck and trailer that was north bound,” said Sgt. Bob Verbree, Regional Com-

mander Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services, in a press release Saturday. Verbree said at the time of the incident, the roads were bare and wet with slush in the middle and on the shoulders. The temperature was approximately 2 C degrees, with overcast skies. “Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be factors in the incident.” Police are reminding all drivers to be prepared for winter driving conditions and to drive according to existing conditions.

Province teaming up with municipalities to tackle crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake is one of 14 communities chosen to be part of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Prevention, said Mayor Kerry Cook. “Premier Christy Clark announced the Blue Ribbon panel at the end of the Union of B.C. Municipali-

ties convention and appointed one of her new MLAs Dr. Darryl Plecas to be the lead on this,” Cook said. The panel will visit the 14 communities involved in the panel and will be in Williams Lake the end of January. “What is exciting about this, is this is a philosophical shift in reducing crime. Instead

of the traditional approach that this is an RCMP problem, this is a community approach to creating healthier, safer communities.” Cook said the province is looking at an integrated approach to crime reduction across ministries. It just makes sense, she added. “Health is involved,

social services is involved. In a small adhoc informal level, Williams Lake has been doing some of these things with getting all of our partners at the table.” Dr. Plecas will have until June 14, 2014 to put together a recommendation to Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton and government for

crime reduction opportunities and a plan for implementation. Plecas has been mandated as panel chair to consult with stakeholders, review existing crime reduction initiatives and identify potential gaps and challenges. Cook, however, said in Williams Lake some of the challenges have

already been identified. When the community met to look at issues in Boitanio Park those gaps became more apparent. “I am a firm believer in the need for collaboration. These are not simple issues, these are systemic issues and we’ve been trying to dig down into some of the root issues if we want

long-term change. It’s not a matter of just throwing new money at it, we have to do things differently. We need to have everybody at the table and we need the support from government.” Cook said it’s exciting the province is willing to wade into a difficult cross-ministry integrated approach.

Taseko pursues legal avenue against panel Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Taseko announced Monday it is filing an application for a federal judicial review, seeking to set aside certain findings of a review panel report relating to the company’s New Prosperity GoldCopper Project environmental assessment. “It’s not a law suit, nobody is suing anybody, it’s a matter that’s in the federal court,” said Brian Battison, Taseko vicepresident of corporate affairs. “It is a reflective exercise in that it looks back at what the panel process did, what the panel heard, what evidence was presented and what the panel did with that evidence.” Taseko continues to assert there was a mistake made by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to arrive at “flawed” findings. The company is asking the federal court to declare certain panel findings are invalid and should be quashed or set aside and to rule the

panel failed to observe principles of procedural fairness in conducting the public hearing process, he added. In a press release, Taseko president and CEO Russell Hallbauer said Taseko had no choice but to file the application in order to comply with a 30-day time limit. “The federal government should allow the project to proceed to the next stage of detailed permit-level examination and if so the judicial review would not need to proceed,” Hallbauer said. Battison said in its judicial review application, Taseko alleges the panel allowed repeated

submission of written and oral expert evidence in a manner that was unfair and inconsistent with directions from the panel

and violated the panel’s hearing procedures. CEAA manager of communications Lucille Jamault confirmed

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BY THE CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE ON A BYLAW TO CHANGE THE LAND USE (ZONING)

HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH SNOW REMOVAL

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Williams Lake on Tuesday, the 17th day of December, 2013 at the hour of 7:00 PM will hold a Public Hearing in the Council Chambers at 450 Mart Street, to hear all persons interested in supporting or objecting to Williams Lake Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2193, 2013 being a Bylaw of the City of Williams Lake to amend the “Williams Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 1825, 2002”.

Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection. This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

A copy of the proposed Bylaw and relevant background documents may be inspected between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday to Friday, inclusive, excluding holidays, from November 22nd, 2013 to December 17th, 2013, both inclusive, at City Hall, 450 Mart Street, Williams Lake, BC.

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

Off-shore investments still questionable

Remember road safety this winter

uesnel residents must be delighted to learn that Canfor, while closing its mill in that city, plans to invest in a new mill in China. This new mill will import lumber from British Columbia and cut it into metric sizes for Chinese buyers. Private companies do what they have to do to make a profit, but why are our provincial and federal governments so determined to give our natural resources to foreign interests, French particularly Asian Connection state-owned interDiana French ests? For example, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC and Petronas have, or will have, big investments in BC’s Liquid Natural Gas industry, including export markets and domestic distribution. The rationale is that these companies will provide jobs and pay taxes to benefit British Columbians. I’d like to know if it’s OK for foreign governments to invest in our natural resources, why don’t our own governments do it themselves? What’s missing — money or business expertise? If the B.C. government is lacking both, why can’t Premier Clark do a trade mission here at home to encourage B.C. companies to invest in our oil, natural gas, logs, metals, and water resources? One issue with foreign investment is that our federal government keeps signing free trade agreements which give foreign companies the right to sue if our rules interfere with their profits, and they often do. Times change, or at least politicians do. Back in the 1980s, Premier Bill Bennett insisted B.C. was not for sale. He interpreted the BNA act as saying “those people who choose to live in a province of our country shall have perpetual ownership and control of all of the province’s natural resources.” His successors have had different ideas and U.S.-based companies began gobbling B.C. resources shortly after Mr. Bennett left politics. Since then foreign state-owned companies have been invited to join the feast. The questions are, where will it end, and who will benefit in the long term?

Our Viewpoint

Trustees give themselves a pat on the back Although it was probably a little awkward, School District 27 trustees voted unanimously at their last meeting to give themselves a pay raise. To be clear, trustees are keeping their annual base stipends the same. Currently the annual base stipend is $12,500 per trustee, with the vice-chair receiving $13,500 per year and the chair getting $16,000. Where the increases will be seen is in expenses claimed for meetings and travel time. Trustees are going to pay themselves an additional $75 to $120 per “special purpose meeting,” plus the chair will receive an additional $25 per meeting with an acting chair receiving $50 per meeting. Where the bills are going to be more noticeable is in “technological costs,” where the trustees voted to compensate themselves an added $50 per month for extra expenses such as Internet and cell phone charges (even though each trustee is given a district cell phone and laptop). On top of that, trustees also gave themselves a one-time $250 compensation to purchase equipment and installation to operate those laptops they were given. Trustees also upped their travel claims to the tune of a maximum of $120 per day, and left room for the possibility of claiming child

care expenses. Considering the number of conferences they choose to attend, this could amount to a lot of money on the heels of an already stretched budget. Just last month, school support staff also voted for a pay increase that will impact the local district by about $450,000. Though their raise pales in comparison to teacher and support staff wage increases, it is sure to ruffle more than a few feathers of parents and students still stinging from new bussing schedules, school closures and mergers throughout the district. We must all remember back when the newly elected trustees sat full of hope and promise as they moved forward through public consultations on school closures last year. Meeting after meeting, the trustees held their ground despite the immense public pressure for them to fold on the proposed changes. Even if you didn’t agree with them, you at least had to respect their unwavering commitment to do something to better the future of our schools. And although the trustees do manage a mega multi million dollar budget and the pay increases do put them more in line with the Cariboo Regional District board members, somehow you can’t help but be a little disappointed in the increase.

inter has arrived and the changing weather can make driving a little more hazardous, so this is a great time to think about road safety. Everyone should take the time to make sure their vehicle is ready for winter, and begin leaving a little more space between their car and the one in front of them when driving on icy roads. At the provincial level, a review of safety and speed limits on rural highways began last week. MLA This will include Musings both a technical review and a pubCoralee Oakes lic consultation, so that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has the best information available as it considers safety improvements for our highways. The review will look at which highway corridors should be considered for speed limit changes, what should count as a slow vehicle and where slow vehicles might be of concern, and how we can improve safety in areas where there is a chance of colliding with wildlife. Road safety is important for everyone, so I hope many of you will take the time to participate in the public consultation. There are lots of ways to participate, including submitting feedback online, attending a regional public forum, or participating in a Twitter Townhall on Dec. 17. That day, from 7 to 8 p.m., Transportation Minister Todd Stone will be available on Twitter, where you can ask him questions and share your thoughts on the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review. In addition to the technical review and the public consultation, the Ministry of Transportation will also get input from ICBC, the police, the Union of BC Municipalities, and other important stakeholders. Once it is complete, the review will give us practical recommendations for improving highway safety and a strategy for their implementation. While we wait to see the results, remember to plan ahead and drive safely this winter! Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

More Viewpoints Honoured school names Question of the week were reinstated We asked Cataline’s

Editor: On behalf of our committee I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of School District 27 for hearing our concerns over the changing of the name of Western Campus to its former name, Columneetza, and to congratulate the board for deciding to keep the

old names Columneetza, as well as Williams Lake. I realize it was a difficult decision for the board members. They have made a wise choice. Furthermore, I wish to thank the 800-plus members of the public who signed petitions and supported us in our endeavour. Although we did not have to use these petitions, I am extremely

honoured that so many signed their names. I am very happy that this name is being reinstated and that those students who have graduated from Williams Lake and Columneetza will have something to be proud of. Ivor D. Myers Yunesit’in (Stone)

BC Ferries cut delivers blow to tourism operators Editor: The Ferry Corporation proposal to discontinue the Ferry service to Bella Coola, on the surface, to the ferry executive, may seem like a justifiable cost cutting measure. However this cost cutting measure is a blow to the midriff of all those developing and established tourist operators along the Highway 20 corridor that have come to depend on this ferry service as part of their tourism enterprises. With a reducing dependence on forestry, the establishment of the ferry service gave hope in an otherwise bleak future. The evolution from resource base to tourist base came down to just plain survival for many folks along this route. The loss of the ferry service will be critical to all of these tourism operators. I continue to subscribe to the belief that while the original Free-

dom Road is in itself a great tourist attraction, the future for the Cariboo/Chilcotin Central Coast is a year round quality highway off the Chilcotin Plateau. In 1919, a B.C. Government Department of Public Works Engineer by the name of Alexander Curruthers did a survey for such a road. He foresaw the future as few today can see it. His survey proposed a road off the Plateau that would be hundreds of feet lower at its highest point compared to the “Freedom Road” high point, and would have grades no steeper than five percent compared to grades of twelve to eighteen percent on the existing road. The distance between Bella Coola and Port Hardy is about a hundred and ten miles by water route, five to six hours by fast ferry, not eighteen as it currently is by somewhat fast ferry from Prince

Rupert to Port Hardy. Surely this is the future for both developing commerce and tourism for Bella Coola, the Chilcotin and the Cariboo. So here we are today, following the development of a ferry service where we have started traffic flowing, only now to undercut that process by ferry cancellation, and a government that continues to argue that there is no need of a better route off the Chilcotin plateau because the traffic does not warrant it. There was no traffic over the Kelowna Connector until it was constructed, as there can never be traffic of any volume or commerce development over the existing “Freedom Road,” until it is virtually destroyed by reconstruction or replaced.

Trying to evade yet another blow to the industry How on earth did it get to be December, again, already — so quickly? Personally, I am feeling some what Hum-Bug(ish) in any case, as once again circumstances have conspired against the cattle industry at a most crucial period in their annual cycle. At a time when many operations are still bringing their marketable animals in to sell, the market has dropped off badly with sale prices going from pretty good to not-so-hot

Letters aLways weLcome

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan within a month. It seems, to stay in the cattle business in the Cariboo one must adopt the characteristics of an old punch-drunk fighter; ducking, weaving, bending, stumbling (yet not quite going

down) — standing strong while trying to evade yet another punishing blow. After a while, one wonders what on earth compels him to stay in the ring. Has the collateral damage been so great that he can’t process the cost or has he simply been in the game so long that he can imagine no other life? Comparatively, the cattlemen of the Cariboo must be pondering how long they will have to stand-strong as they wait for markets to steady and

remain stable long enough for them to regain solid footing. In the month-past (mainly due to newly enforced C.O.O.L. (Country of Origin Labelling) laws in the U.S. that have affected southern cattle movement and caused trucking-shortages, local cattle sale prices have nose-dived. Last week, a steer calf that sold for $171.25/per hundredweight (a 500 pound calf equals $856.25) on Oct. 17 was worth only 160.00/per hundred-weight (500 pound calf

equals $800). Do the math. If that producer had sold 100 to 500 pound steer calves on Oct. 17 his return (approximate) would have been $85,625.00; on Nov. 28 those same calves brought in $80,000. A loss of $5,625, far more than most producers can afford to shrug off. Santa will have to adjust his budget accordingly. Liz Twan is a rancher and freelance columnist for the Tribune.

being killjoys and Cassandras. Every battle begins as a lost cause and even the victories have to be fought for again and again. Still, environmentalism is one of the great social innovations of the twentieth century, and one of the keys to how the twenty-first century

will unfold. It has arisen at a key juncture in history, when humans have come to rival the power of nature and as a result will influence how the earth will evolve. Wr i t e r - d i r e c t o r Mark Kitchell efficiently divides the film into five acts — “Conservation,”

“Pollution,” “Alternatives,” “Globalization” and “Climate Change.” The film, narrated by Robert Redford, Ashley Judd, and Meryl Streep, gives us a sweeping history of the enviromental movement by recounting a host of seminal persons and events includ-

welcome

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27 trustees have voted unanimously to revise the district remuneration policy to provide trustees more compensation that will be tied to extra meetings and travel time. While trustee monthly stipends have not increased, the trustees voted unanimously in favour of the remuneration changes during their regular meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26. With the policy change, those trustees who spend more time travelling to meetings and attending special purpose meetings will receive increased compensation over and above their monthly stipends. Careful consideration was given to the decision during business and planning meetings and after putting the proposal out for public input on the district website. No response to the idea was received on the website. The business committee outlined the pros and cons for the trustee pay increases. On the plus side the increases are needed to attract candidates for school trustee positions, provide fair

The School District 27 board of trustees voted unanimously to give themselves a raise to cover things like extra travel and meeting costs at their Tuesday, Nov. 26 meeting. Pictured from the left are trustees Will Van Osch (smiling after the board executive), Doug Neufeld, Tanya Guenther, Sheila Boehm, Chris Pettman, Jackie Austin, Joyce Cooper, and Superintendent Mark Thiessen. compensation for the work they do, provide balanced access for trustees to participate in meetings. The increases also follow current practices of the Cariboo Regional District and better equality between north and south trustees. On the con side the increase adds to the district’s budget costs, added administrative costs, and the public perception of budget increase. The annual base stipends continue as they are, as follows: • Chair: $16,000 per year. • Vice-chair: $13,500 per year. • Trustee: $12,500 per year.

The increase will be reflected as follows: • Board committee chair: $25 per meeting (no additional remuneration provided where a trustee is chair for more than one board committee). • Acting chair: $50 per meeting. • Special purpose meetings over and above regular meetings: $120 if longer than four hours: $75 if less than four hours. • Technological costs: $50 per month to compensate for extra expenses such as Internet and cell phone costs. • One time compensation to a maximum of $250 for purchase and installation of equipment to operate

the laptop computer provided by the district for each trustee. • Travel time is based on 20 cents per kilometer driven in any one day. • Commercial travel remuneration is $20 per hour to a maximum of $120 per day calculated from the time of departure (usually from home) to the time of arrival at destination, and the reverse for the return trip. • Incidental rate for out of district travel in excess of half a day is $6. • The policy also outlines in detail under what circumstances remuneration will be paid in various circumstances such as for child care.

For instance one section of the policy states that it is expected that trustees be familiar with all schools in the district. “Travel expenses to visit schools outside of the trustee’s electoral area will be paid on the basis of one trip to each school within the three-year term. Visiting schools should be limited to a specific purpose and wherever possible to reduce costs, travel should be co-ordinated with a staff member or other trustees visiting the school(s).”

CITIZENS: On Patrol

C & Ski Small Engines Sales and Service of All Small Engine and Marine Equipment

Keeping an eye out for crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer On any given night in Williams Lake it’s common for youth volunteers to be out with the community policing’s Citizens on Patrol. “We’re meant to be the eyes and ears,” said retired RCMP Sgt. Bob McIntosh who heads up the youth program. “We connect with RCMP vehicles on the road.” To prove the point he points to a police radio on the table at the office. “We have it on in case the RCMP need our assistance,” McIntosh explains. Dyllan Wall and Jerrissa Charleyboy are the volunteers working with McIntosh on a drizzly evening last Friday. Wall joined COP last year when he was a Grade 12 student. These days Wall works full-time as a lifeguard, is studying philosophy and sociology at Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake, and is a volunteer firefighter with the 150 Mile Fire Dept. Despite his busy schedule, he values his time with COP. “It’s really helped me a lot being involved with community policing,” Wall says. “It’s made my brain sharper. On any given night I see a whole bunch of things and I have to remember them at the end of the day.” Smiling, McIntosh says Wall keeps very good notes. “You never know when you might have to use them in court,” Wall adds. Charleyboy is in Grade 12 at Lake City Secondary’s Williams

LOOKING for SOMETHING

this Christmas? Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Citizens on Patrol volunteers Jerrissa Charleyboy and Dyllan Wall locate a license plate with a March 2013 expiry date at Boitanio Mall Friday. Lake campus taking the last two courses she needs to graduate. She moved to Williams Lake from Calgary two years ago and has been out on a few COP patrols so far. “When I first started I didn’t know what it would be like,” she says. “It’s fun and it’s something different to do.” Charleyboy wants to be a lawyer, she says. The shift starts with the team filling out a sheet for the RCMP. It notes who is on patrol, what their cell phone numbers are, what kind of vehicle they are using, and the time they start the shift. Once it’s completed, Wall faxes it to the local RCMP detachment. For the first two and a half hours of the shift, the team checks some of the areas in the city of concern. On foot and armed with flashlights, they walk around treed areas near the hospital, through back alleys, parking lots, the recreation complex and

through Boitanio Mall. They are looking for people who might be in trouble, or those causing trouble through vandalism and new graffiti. One of their main tasks is going through parking lots. They look at vehicles and check for visible valuables, unlocked doors, and expired license plate decals. ICBC has issued some Crime Prevention Notice tickets that the group uses. The friendly reminder notes keys left in vehicle, and vehicle equipped with alarm, to possessions and cash in view. “One day we came across a vehicle with all the windows down, credit cards in view and a laptop,” McIntosh says. In the Boitanio Mall parking lot during Black Friday, the team comes across a license plate with a March 2013 expiry date so Wall and Charleyboy fill out a ticket.

McIntosh notices a purse in full view inside another vehicle and encourages them to fill out another ticket for that one. At the Save-on Foods lot they see a vacuum and bottle of wine inside a truck. A man is wringing out his wet winter jacket outside the grocery store so McIntosh wanders over to chat. Afterwards he says he likes to make sure people are doing OK. The first part of the shift ends at Tim Hortons where McIntosh says the program needs more volunteers. Youth have to be ages 16 to 19. “Volunteers need to commit to one patrol a month and attend a monthly meeting,” he explains. Winter time is generally less active, but summer can be pretty busy, he adds. “Sometimes we’ll be out until 2 or 3 a.m.” The program could also use adult volunteers, McIntosh says.

Purple Ribbon Campaign Against Violence Against Women The purple ribbon, like the Purple Heart, symbolizes the injury and suffering of victims of violence, in this case not victims of war or political violence, but of violence against women in our homes, schools, neighborhoods. Interpersonal violence is learned in our homes. We want to promote healthy values: Love and respect. Why do we need to speak out?

• Domestic violence hurts our children. • Help children ask for help if they are experiencing or witnessing violence or abuse. • Education is the key, not distrust, silence, or denial. • Domestic violence has long-term community effects; 80% of all violent criminals report a history of experiencing or witnessing violence as a child. • Domestic violence is a public crime, not a private act.

Should men wear a purple ribbon?

Yes. Violence against women is not a “woman’s issue” it is a community issue. Everyone must speak out against violence, silence sends a message of support to the offender. Don’t be a Bystander.

Five ThingS anyone can do To end violence againST Women 1. Listen to women and believe them. It is extremely rare for a woman to make up a story about violence. You may be the first and only person she tells. Believe her and support her decisions, without being judgmental. 2. Make violence your business. Keeping violence against women private helps no one. If you believe that someone is being abused – ask them. They might not tell you right away, but it will send a signal that you are someone they can trust. Don’t put yourself in danger by intervening in a violent situation. Call the police. 3. Raise non-violent children. Talk to the children in your life about violence. Help them find non-violent ways of resolving conflict. 4. Help girls protect themselves. Help the girls in your life develop confidence and strong self-esteem. Let them know they’re important as individuals - in or out of a relationship. Talk frankly to them about sex and dating, stressing respect and their right to choose. 5. Encourage people who commit violence to get help. Don’t judge. Let them know their behaviour is unacceptable and that there are counsellors and support groups to help them change.

Haphazard History: the road houses Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor

When the gold rush trail first began, there was no defined route to the gold bearing streams and rivers. Although there were some well travelled fur trading routes, known as brigade trails, and other pathways through the wilderness used by the native peoples, most gold seekers just entered the wilderness and walked along, usually on foot, towards their destination. But, as more and more men headed northward, over time some well-defined trails were formed. Scattered along these trails, and later, along the Cariboo Wagon Road, there grew up a series of stopping places, often constructed by men who had given up searching for gold and found, instead, a source of income by “mining the miners.” The early roadhouses were far from comfortable, not at all like the large, multiroom structures which came later. They often consisted of a single log building which had a

stove, a table, some rough built chairs, but no beds. On bitter nights, the wind would howl through cracks in the logs. Those on their way to and from the goldfields would stop overnight for a meal, usually consisting of bacon and beans, bread, flapjacks, or bannock, and coffee or tea, for which they paid up to $2. Included in that charge was a spot to sleep on the floor. Virtually all of the roadhouses had a bar, where liquor, often homemade and seldom legal, was sold for 25 cents a shot. At night, after the bar closed down, the wayfarers rolled up in their blankets on the dirt floor, the lucky ones close to the stove. If there was no living quarters for the owner, he would sleep on top of the liquor

supply to prevent any theft. Not all travellers to the goldfields frequented the road houses in those early days. Some could not afford the cost, choosing instead to camp out and cook their own meals. Others slept outside because the roadhouses were infested with lice and bedbugs, carried from one place to the next in the clothing of the unwashed. And with beans being the staple food, accompanied by a lack of washing and sanitation facilities along the route, one can easily imagine how ripe the air inside must have been. Just a little side note about the lice and bedbugs. They were everywhere and impossible to cure. In fact it was very unusual to find a roadhouse which didn’t have them. Some places went so far as to set up lice or bedbug races on which the travellers could wager. At 100 Mile House the original road house had blood spatters on the walls and ceil-

ings where countless bugs had been killed. When it burned to the ground in 1937, the owner, Lord Martin Cecil, remarked about the terrible loss of life, “none of which was human!” As the Cariboo Wagon Road was built, suitable land was pre-empted, usually where water and grasslands were plentiful. Often it was the road contractor himself who pre-empted the area, either on his own, or with a partner for the express purpose of establishing a roadhouse. The completion of the road, and the establishment of freight and stagecoach service to and from the goldfields really caused a mini boom in roadhouse construction. Eventually, there was a roadhouse every 10 to 14 miles along the length of the Cariboo Wagon Road, as far as a man could comfortably walk in a day. They took their names from the distance in miles from Lillooet, the start of the Wagon Road. In some areas, there was a roadhouse every three to four miles. Some roadhouses specialized as way stations for wagon trains of horses or oxen. Others catered to passengers travelling on the BX stage coaches, while still others were kept as stage rest stops where horses could be changed. The wagon road brought a new sophistication to the road houses as well. By the late 1860s they had become bigger and more attractive to travellers. A typical roadhouse of this era contained a dining room, kitchen, ladies sitting room, a saloon (bar) for the men, and private bedrooms which had spring mattresses and fresh linen. Most of them were still made of log construction, but some

were being built of lumber, cut by hand or sawn in local mills. During the early 1900s one or two roadhouses were assembled from prefabricated kits ordered from the Eatons’ catalouge. By the late 1870s some of the roadhouses were quite large, up to 20 bedrooms. Hat Creek House, Clinton and 150 Mile House are examples. The greatest threat to the roadhouses was fire. Fireplaces, woodburning stoves, kerosene lamps and candles were the sources of heat and light. Although the fear of fire made most people extremely cautious, in the roadhouses, where liquor was served, and where there was little control over the actions of guests, the risk of fire was ever present. Most fires started by overheated stove pipes igniting the tinder dry shakes on the roof. The older the building, the drier the logs, and unfortunately, most roadhouses eventually met a fiery end. The years between 1886 and 1910 can be said to be the heyday of the roadhouse era. Competing roadhouse operators vied for trade by providing finer furnishings, fancier meals, and better service. But gradually, cars replaced the horse and buggy and trucks replaced the freight wagons. Over the years, in some places, towns and villages had grown up around the roadhouse, and many of these are still found today along the route of the old wagon road. Most of the roadhouses are gone now, the victims of fire, abandonment, or demolition. Some have survived as private residences or museums, reminders of an interesting chapter in our local history.

Better At Home program co-ordinator Carrie Sundahl (left) and administrator Kimberly Futcher are looking for volunteers for the newly-launched program, which aims to help seniors remain independent at home.

Better At Home program launches in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

The Better At Home program for seniors in Williams Lake needs volunteers, said Sondra Giske, vice-president of the Seniors Activity Centre board of directors. Speaking at the Seniors Activity Centre Monday, Giske said there are several clients ready to go but the program doesn’t have the volunteers to cover them. “We are very flexible as to any time people can offer.” Funded through United Way, the Better at Home program is designed to help seniors remain inde-

pendent at home. Described as a non-medical program, examples of services include friendly visiting, snow shovelling, housekeeping, grocery shopping, yard work, home repair or transportation to a medical appointment. Fees are determined by the senior’s ability to pay and can depend on local variables, while some services will be offered for free. Giske attended a provincial meeting in Burnaby last Thursday and Friday with about 100 representatives from dozens of communities around the province. “Many communities are just getting

New rate increases and service cuts to hit seniors hard Evangelical

261-3rd Ave. S. Chris Harder 250-392-4280

“This must be sock it to poor seniors month,” Art Kube, president of the 100,000 member B.C. Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations said recently. “First the government slashed the seniors discount on B.C. Ferries by 50 per cent. Now it is imposing a cumulative increase of 28.1 per cent on BC Hydro rates,” said Kube. “And all of this comes in the same month when seniors are preparing for a 4.1 per cent increase in MSP premiums, and health authorities are sending out notices of increases in the cost of residential care. "Access to needed community health services, like home support, continues to decline even though such services could save the public acute care system millions of dollars.” Kube said not all seniors are poor, but many do live on fixed incomes.

“The rate of poverty among seniors, and particularly among women, is increasing at an alarming rate. The government’s actions are making it even worse,” he said. He noted the super-rich will barely notice these fee and rate increases, but while the government proclaims a budget surplus, poor seniors will have to decide which meals they can no longer afford. “The government should be raising revenues through fair taxes, based on ability to pay, not through fee and rate increases that hit hardest at those who already have the least,” he said. Noting the government is planning to put slot machines on the B.C. Ferries, Kube advised seniors to stay away from them. “The way the government is running things, you can’t win,” he said.

Seniors Activity Centre board could use more members Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

When you look at the sign over the Seniors Activity Centre in Williams Lake you will see that it is the home of the Old Age Pensioners Organization, said OAPO member Pat Cassidy. “This is because way back in 1985, the OAPO met with the city’s leisure services director with regard to a proposed activity centre to be built in Kiwanis Park,” Cassidy recalled. In 1986, the OAPO Branch 93 Seniors Activity Centre Society for Williams Lake and District was incorporated. “That was quite a mouthful,” Cassidy chuckled. “In 1991 the name was changed to the Williams Lake and District Seniors Activity Society.” Cassidy said it was the OAPO, with its intensive fundraising efforts that got the building started. It officially opened on Aug. 29, 1987. The centre is run by a board of directors elected at the annual general meeting in February or March and with the exception of the manager, the centre is run strictly by volunteers, Cassidy said. “The biggest problem facing the centre

today is that while we have a whole slate of generous volunteers, we are very lacking in persons coming forward to fill in positions on the board of directors,” she said. At the next annual general meeting positions to be filled will include president, recording secretary, treasurer and a board member who would be willing to plan events. “As the name implies, the activity centre is a place of seniors to come for camaraderie,” Cassidy said. There are lunches Monday to Friday for members and Bingo on Saturday with a concession. From carpet bowling, floor curling, quilting, painting, crafts, Tai Chi and choir to exercise classes there is something for everyone to take part in. “Then there are the card games,” Cassidy said. “Games like poker, cribbage, bridge.” And of course there are teas and bazaars. “All of this for a $20 yearly membership,” she said. “People are buying a dual membership for the Seniors Activity Centre and the OAPO.” In September, the centre celebrated its volunteers with an

appreciation dinner. “We wanted to thank people who volunteer on a steady basis and there were 85 people on the invite list,” Cassidy said. Cassidy has been a member for 15 years and has attended board meetings as a liaison between the OAPO and the board. She’s been through five presidents and has seen as many managers come and go. When Cassidy visits other community seniors activity centres, she is always reminded that Williams Lake has one of the nicest. “Lunch is reasonable because it’s subsidized by volunteers,” she added. Cassidy is hoping seniors in the community will consider putting their names forward to run in the upcoming AGM. “The centre cannot continue to run with a skeleton board.” On Monday, Cassidy and other OAPA members were busy decorating the centre for the Christmas season. They had lights, poinsettia centre pieces for the tables, a Christmas tree, and other decorations to transform the dining area. “We decorate every year,” Cassidy said.

Salvation Army to host X-mas dinner monica lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Any seniors wanting to attend the Salvation Army's Christmas dinner in Williams Lake are welcome, said Captain Randy Kadonaga "There will be a turkey dinner and music starting at noon and running until 2 p.m. on Christmas Day," Kadonaga said. For seniors with mo-

bility issues, there is a level entry entrance at the back of the buildling. "If anyone has difficulty getting to the dinner, they can call us at 250-392-2423," Kadnoga said. It would be best if they called in ahead of time, either Dec. 23 or 24 to give drivers a head start, he added. In 2012, 150 people, including volunteers attended the

dinner. Kadonaga also confirmed he and his wife Claudine are retiring from the Salvation Army. Claudine's last day of work was Nov. 28. Kadonaga will be finished on Dec. 31. The couple has served with the Salvation Army Corps for 12 and a half years and in Williams Lake for five and half years. But the Kadonagas

are staying close by, he said. "We have property in Likely and are going to move there." They are hoping to go into running a small business. "Something that's a little less hectic," Kadonaga said. He is hopeful the Salvation Army will have someone in place to replace them some time in early January.

Yunestin’s future bright thanks to solar panels Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A new solar panel installation at the school in Yunesit’in (Stone) is the biggest grid-tie solar installation in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. “Grid-tie means that the solar panels feed the power directly back into the B.C. Hydro grid,” said Ron Young of earthRight Solar in Williams Lake, who installed the system during the month of November. “There are many solar installations that are charging batteries for people who are off the grid in remote homes, ranches lodges etc; the Yunesitin school is on grid with B.C. Hydro, this system will reduce their power requirement by the amount it produces.” When the sun shines, the entire system will produce up to 10 kilowatts of power per hour from 40 250-watt solar panels. Yunesit’in Chief Russ Myers Ross said the project itself is a part of the community’s vision to save costs, be more energy conscious, and work towards renewable energy. “John Lerner, from Ecolibrio, helped in bringing in experts to find ways to make the school more effi-

Myers, was the main contractor that worked to establish the foundation; it actually ran three weeks overschedule to complete because the ground was so sandy it caved in on the forms.” In the end, everyone is happy to have completed the project, Myers Ross said. He explained that

the solar panel makes power which is then fed directly back into the grid. While it’s doing that it’s winding the hydro meter backwards, reducing the amount of power the client has to pay for. In B.C., users of solar get back around the same amount they pay, whereas in Ontario or California, utility companies pay quite a bit more because they are short of power and are trying to supplement

with alternative energy sources. Even on a cloudy

day, solar panels will generate power, Young said. “It’s just not as much. The neat thing about the system at Yunesit’in is it has an online monitor so they can go to a webpage and see how much is being produced.” It measures how many watts are being put out by each panel and records the information over days, weeks and months. “The students and the community will be able to see at a glance the benefit they are getting from the system.” The panels came from an Ontario based company. Young designed and installed the system and made the application to BC Hydro on behalf of the school for the grid connection. After approval from the region’s electrical inspector, the switch was turned on this week.

H w o m e e N r u O ~ Your Beautiful City International Coordinated Christian Ministries (ICCM) has moved their international headquarters to Williams Lake. We would like you to get to know us, so please contact us. Why not go to your phone or our website and see what we are about? We would also like to wish you a Blessed Christmas and New Year and share the message of comfort sung by the Angels to the shepherds that first Christmas night. The message is for you also this Christmas. “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” This Christmas if you are planning to enjoy the blessing of sponsoring a little child or some needy person, you have been bombarded with pictures of the desperate need on TV. The need is real. We decided to show you the happy “after” picture of a little orphan girl who came into our program approximately 2 years ago. She was suffering from starvation and could not have lived much longer. She had no hope, but a compassionate lady from Ottawa named Pearl sponsored her. Today she is healthy, well fed, well clothed, living in a loving home and is already attending kindergarten. Look at her eyes. Instead of tears you can see the result of God’s love shared with her by a compassionate sponsor.

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!” Hi! My name is Selam Kiflu. Wouldn’t you be willing to show your love to a little starving girl or boy like I was before Pearl sponsored me? Jesus loves the little children of the world.

God bless you.

Falcons open season with tourney win Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Lake City Falcons senior girls basketball team won its first tournament of the season in Valemount Nov 29-30. “The girls are excited to be making the start of Falcons’ history with such a positive outcome,” said co-coach Brigette Peel, who is leading the team alongside Raj Lalli as both Columneetza and Williams Lake teams from last year have consolidated. “The team is ready for the season ahead and looks to be creating a very competitive squad.” Seven teams took part in the invitational tournament, with the Falcons steamrolling Gerard Redmand of Hinton, Alta., in its opener, 65-9. Montana Reid, who was named player of the game, recorded a game-high 19 points while Inderroop Randhawa and

Erika Weber chipped in 14 points each. Next, the Falcons defeated Northside of Vanderhoof, 66-32. Reid, again, recorded 19 points while Weber dropped 14 and was awarded player of the game. The championship match saw Lake City take on Burns Lake, with Weber potting 18 points to lead the Falcons to a 55-23 tournament victory. Kaylee Dueck added 10 points in the winning effort, and was named player of the game. “Our defence was the highlight of the weekend, making it very hard for our opponents to score,” Peel said. “Rebounding was an additional strength of the squad as we dominated the boards on both ends of the court.” Peel said the girls are coming into the season with a solid understanding of the game and know how to use each other’s strengths. “We couldn’t be happier to see

Canada’s women’s sevens team, with Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi playing a pivotal role, picked up 14 valuable International Rugby Board Women’s Sevens World Series points by finishing fourth at last weekend’s Dubai Sevens. Missing several key players due to injuries, Canada relied on its other veterans and youngsters in the 12team event. On day two, Canada defeated Spain, 1712, in overtime with a beautiful solo effort from Moleschi, before falling to New Zealand in the semifinals. The loss setup a third-place match against Russia. Moleschi’s gamewinning try came with under 20 seconds left in the second half. Identifying an overlap, Moleschi looped around just in time to make a game-saving

tackle, before stealing the ball in contact and Spain was subsequently penalized, allowing the Canadians to score. “Spain is always a tough game,” said John Tait, head coach with Team Canada. “We battled hard and it was a huge team effort and invaluable experience especially for our young girls to play in a sudden death extra time game. “Kayla is a tena-

cious player and when she broke through their line I knew she would finish it off for us.” Moleschi’s teammates Bianca Farella and Karen Paquin each notched tries for Canada, but it wasn’t enough as they would eventually fall 15-10 to the Russians to finish fourth place. “I am pleased that we took enough series points in this one to still be in the race

for the overall title in May,” Tait said. “When you consider we had two fairly poor games in the pool stages and ended up having so many new players get quality minutes on the finals day. “I think that experience will serve us well in future tournaments.” Moleschi also made her debut early last month for Canada’s 15s side in international competition.

The Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves girls’ rep team won a gold medal in Kamloops two weekends ago, playing a strong tournament to go undefeated.

Midget Timberwolves golden in Kamloops The Williams Lake Timberwolves midget girls’ hockey team took gold Nov. 22-24 at the Kamloops Midget Female Hockey Tournament. The Wolves opened up the tournament with a 2-1 win against Kelowna. Teneal Schick and Cassie Hogman scored for Williams Lake and Stefanie Martin was named game star. Saturday morning the Wolves took on Langley, winning 4-1. Schick scored once, Martin had a goal and two assists and game star Calissa Broomfield scored twice. Next up was Penticton and the Wolves rolled to a 5-0 victory.

Broomfield, again, lit the lamp twice and added a helper, while Teneal, Martin and Hogman also scored. Kennedy Wiebe and Sarah Austin each had a pair of assists, and goalie Bailey Schick record the shutout between the pipes. Sunday morning’s semifinal saw the Wolves take on Abbotsford and cruise to a 4-0 win. Teneal opened the scoring with an assist from Madison Hordiuk, before returning the favour moments later to set up Hordiuk for a 2-0 Williams Lake lead after the first period. Abbotsford pushed back in the second

frame, but Alena Mayer and Brianna Chaffee scored early in the third period. Raylea Garland was solid in net the rest of the game for the shutout. The final saw the Wolves meet up with Langley again. The coast team opened the scoring making it the first time all tournament the Wolves were behind. The Wolves, however, press hard in the second frame and were rewarded as Alexa Nelson scored on a quick one-timer from Teneal, who set it up from behind the Langley net to tie it 1-1. There was no scoring through the third period or the five-minute

overtime sending the contest to a five-player shootout. Mayer and Hogman scored for the Wolves while Langley’s second and third shooters also scored. Bailey, however, would not be beaten again, and the Wolves’ seventh shooter, Alexis Hemond, scored to clinch the gold medal for the lakecity squad. The next action for the Wolves is in March as they attend tournaments in 100 Mile House and Richmond.

To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately 2 hours. ley (0-1-1) and Wakita, scored the second period’s only goal to put Kitimat up by one heading into the final frame. There, the Ice Demons’ Wade Masch lit the lamp on the power play to put his club up 3-1, before Derrick Walters (2-0-2) notched his first of two goals in the game to put Williams Lake back within one. Mildenberger restored Kitimat’s twogoal lead less than a minute later, before Walters lit the lamp for his second of the game to close out the scoring. The loss leaves Williams Lake in second place in the Central In-

terior Hockey League East Division, three points back of the Quesnel Kangaroos, who beat the Lac La Hache Tomahawks 11-4 on Saturday and the Ice Demons 10-2 on Sunday.

The Williams Lake Stampeders suffered its first setback since Oct. 26, falling 4-3 to the Kitimat Ice Demons Saturday in the lakecity. Kitimat’s Jeff Mildenberger (1-1-2), on a setup from Derek Wakita (0-3-3), potted the game winner with 12:37 remaining in the final frame. Williams Lake’s Justin Foote recorded 22 saves in the loss, while the Ice Demons’ Brett Vilness turned aside 29 of 32 shots to help his club to the win.

SD 27 works on new policy

Sounds of the season

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer

Angie Mindus photo

Members of the Lake City Secondary School band give the gift of music during the Santa Claus Parade, which made its way to Spirit Square via Oliver Street Saturday at noon.

A new policy is being developed for public use of Cariboo-Chilcotin School District 27 facilities and grounds. The draft policy was received by trustees at their regular meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26 and will be further reviewed at the committee level before being returned to the board for consideration of approval. In the meantime Trustee Doug Neufeld says the board hopes to get a closer estimation on the true cost to the district for public use of school facilities and grounds. Some of the issues the trustees are working to address in the new policy relate to cost recovery for public use of facilities; liability protection for the district; and issues around security. In part the preamble says the board devel-

ops school facilities and grounds primarily for student use but also recognizes that use of school facilities by the community may provide additional opportunities and activities for students. “Because of these mutual benefits, the board believes in jointuse or community use arrangements with communities,” states the report. “It believes also that any joint-use or community-use arrangement should not put the district in competition with private business and other organizations in providing facilities for commercial and private users.” In arranging joint-use and community rental agreements the board recognizes the value of community involvement for students and acknowledges the many community groups who donate money and equipment to schools.

The policy also outlines a long list of guiding principles for public use of school facilities and grounds. For instance, use of lighted tobacco is strictly prohibited on school property. Consumption of alcoholic beverages is not allowed in or on school district property. However, in some extenuating circumstances, such as where other nonschool district facilities are not available, the secretary treasurer has authority to approve the serving of alcohol. For instance, the Studio Theatre requested earlier this year to serve alcohol at plays performed at Glendale elementary which is no longer a functioning school.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driveway goes Hollywood!

Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca

LA-LA Land auto extravaganza LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars! It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge. Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier. Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model

Heartland 1-888-378-3205 106 N. Broadway Avenue Williams Lake www.heartlandtoyota.ca

doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head Zack Spencer turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact crossover MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season. Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

How to get noticed at the LA Auto Show ‘‘

You don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination.

’’

Alexandra Straub

By Alexandra Straub

LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown. Hollywood. LA. No matter what you call it, it’s a city of millions and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. But not if you’re attractive, have a great body and well, you shine. With hundreds of vehicles showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it takes a lot to stand out amongst the plethora of sparkling sheet metal, which is constantly detailed by show workers. If you’re a sexy snake, that’s automatic grounds for attention. The SRT Viper GTS was on display, but it wasn’t just any old venom-producing reptile. It came with the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package. Aside from 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque being produced from its handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-litre, mid-front V10, it comes with the first-ever use for the Chrysler Group’s unique metallic matte exterior colour. And exclusivity is the name of its game. Only 50 will be made and they’ll be available as of January, 2014. Speaking of fast things, you don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more

potent combination. Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features. In regards to its body, it’s more rigid than before and you’ll also find it has a “factory tuned” enhanced suspension. The aero package, which not only looks good, also improves road holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. If you’re a luxury German vehicle and you have a worldwide debut in LA, chances are you’ll draw quite the A-List crowd. The all-new Porsche Macan did such a thing, with visitors such as Jerry Seinfeld and professional tennis player, Maria Sharapova. The Indonesian word for tiger, it’s the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment. Or you could say it’s the baby brother to the popular-selling Cayenne. Either way, they’re both have some spice to them! Two renditions of Macan will be available: the Macan S and Macan Turbo. Standard features include active all-wheel drive and the Porsche double-clutch transmission (PDK). The Macan S is powered by a new Porsche-designed 3.0-litre V6 bi-turbo engine that puts out 340 horsepower. The Macan Turbo hosts a 3.6-litre V6 bi-turbo engine and emits 400 horsepower. Purrrr. Practical and eye catching? You might not expect that from a cargo van, but when you team up with Hot Wheels, you’ll get exactly that: hot wheels! Ford paired up with Hot Wheels and had its Transit Connect XLT Cargo Van LWB beaming a custom bright blue exterior with orange accents and custom 20-inch wheels.

A real show-stopper: Nissan’s fastest GT-R to date. But the fun doesn’t stop on the outside. Sure there’s a new front fascia and grille, and even a one-off “sharkfin” roof mounted antennas supporting GPS and Satellite radio along with custom gullwing doors (which replaces the standard sliding doors), but there’s a party waiting on the inside. Alongside the custom ST seats, there’s a sleeping area and a 55-inch TV. Maybe I will try my hand at camping again, but only with this van! It wouldn’t be a California auto show without a special edition Jeep Wrangler. Complete with bronze satin gloss accentuated 18-inch wheels, a matching grille, and other dark parts, the Wrangler Dragon Edition is sure to heat things up. If the bronze bits weren’t enough of a giveaway, the large dragon graphic on the hood will surely let you know that this mythical creature means business whether on or off road. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Building blocks for a future car that will drive itself ‘‘

All of these sensor-based technologies make driving safer today and they could be considered as building blocks for a more comprehensive automated driving system.

’’

Bob McHugh

By Bob McHugh

LOS ANGELES: While most driving enthusiasts do not recognize the advent of a self-driving car as a good thing, drivers who have to endure crowded urban parking lots and the drudgery of stop-n-go highway commutes, on a daily basis, probably have a very different view. The fully autonomous car may never become a reality for non-technical reasons. We are, however, seeing

layer upon layer of new technologies that certainly move things along in that general direction and could make it technically feasible, and perhaps production feasible on a restricted basis. The new Ford Edge Concept revealed at Los Angeles Auto Show included two interesting automated driving technology advances that are currently under development by Ford ... self-parking and obstacle avoidance systems. What’s different about this advanced self-park technology is that it allows an owner to do it from outside the vehicle with a push-button remote. The vehicle can be automatically positioned in or be removed from a tight parking stall situation. That certainly beats crawling in or out of the rear hatch, when there’s not enough room to get in from a side door. This new system builds on Ford’s current active park assist feature, which is restricted to parallel parking situations and uses ultrasonic sensors. Using similar sensor and

automated vehicle control technology, Ford engineers are also working on an advanced obstacle avoidance system. The concept vehicle detects slow-moving or stationary obstacles in the same lane ahead and warn the driver. If the driver fails to steer or brake, the system automatically brake and steer the Edge around the object. “Democratized technology” is an expression used frequently by Ford engineers. It’s about making leading-edge technologies, which traditionally took a long time to trickle-down from expensive luxury vehicles, available on popular, affordable vehicles much sooner, or even ahead of luxury class competition. Ford’s current Active Park Assist system is already available on 12 models. This system automatically guides the vehicle into a parallel parking spot, while the driver controls the gas and brake pedals. A Lane-Keeping system is available on 11 Ford models today. This uses a forward-facing camera to scan the road surface for

lane markings. The system evaluates if the vehicle is drifting out of its lane and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel. If the driver does not respond, the system provides steering torque to nudge the vehicle back toward the centre of the lane. Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support is available on 10 Ford models. The system uses radar to detect moving vehicles immediately ahead and modifies cruising speed if necessary. Blind Spot Information System Available on 13 Ford models. Radar sensors in the rear corners monitor the spaces next to and just behind the vehicle. On the road, these sensors trigger a warning light in the mirror when there is another vehicle in the driver’s blind spot. All of these sensor-based technologies make driving safer today and they could also be considered as building blocks for a more comprehensive automated driving system. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Ford and Coca-Cola have embarked upon an eco-marriage.

at Competitive Pricing

Things go greener with Coke . . . bottles Ford and Coca-Cola have embarked upon an eco-marriage. They’re both extensive users of plastic and both are committed to recycling and finding eco-alternatives. The first offspring of this somewhat unusual realtionship is the Ford Fusion Energi with a PlantBottle Technology interior. PlantBottle Technology is the first-ever recyclable PET plastic bottle made partially from plants, instead of petroleum-derived materials. Already, more than 18 billion of these bottles have been distributed in 28 countries and Coca-Cola claims that this is equivalent to 400,000 barrels of oil saved. Using recycled PlantBottle bottles, Ford has produced the first-ever fiber that can be woven into durable, automotive-grade PET fabric. Fusion Energi is the plug-in hybrid version of Ford’s global midsize car and it’s Ford’s most fuel-efficient sedan. Sound-absorbing recycled denim material, equivalent to more than two average-sized pairs of blue jeans, are also used in the car’s carpet liner and Ford already uses soy foam, made with soybeans, in every vehicle it builds in North America.

The Maranatha Players will delight audiences with dancing and singing. Here Dean Montgomery (left), Brooklyn Laukkanen, Jordan Ragan and Stephanie Dunlop practice their choreography.

The Floating Princess opens Thursday Val Hanet Special to Tribune/Advisor The Maranatha Players are madly at work putting the final touches on their 12th annual musical production that starts its two-week run Thursday evening. This year director Becky Strickland chose the musical The Floating Princess, a spoof on the ever-popular fairytale. Strickland is excited with the progress being made, and the enthusiasm shown by her talented cast. You will be uplifted by this fresh and funny fairy tale spoof. When Evil Princess Viv, the king’s banished sister, does not receive an invitation to celebrate the birth of her niece, Princess Tulip, she crashes the party and bestows a vengeful gift upon the princess. It may sound familiar, but we assure you it’s not “that” story! Young Princess Tulip is cursed with being light of heart, mind and body — sentenced to float through life until she sheds her first sorrowful tear. In other words, she’s a ditz, and she needs constant supervision. About the only thing Tulip can do on her own is go swimming, so Viv goes to lengths to drain the entire lake! Now Tulip is forced to stay in the palace, and she’s driving everyone crazy. The zany ‘doctors,’ Pomp and Circumstance, come to the res-

cue only to announce that a cure is impossible. But don’t worry, there’s still a happy ending — it’s a fairy tale, after all. Other entertaining and loveable characters such as Prince Eddie’s cat Daffodil and Viv’s cat Arty — the two duelling felines — will make you want to curl up with this charming comedy. Children as well as adults will be on cloud nine with laughter. The cast of students from grades 8-12 have embraced the stage experience which began at the beginning of September with auditions and continued throughout the last three months. They have worked diligently three to four days a week since then learning music, choreography and lines. Veteran performers Chenaya Schuetze and Madison Biddulph have enthusiastically stepped into roles which have presented new challenges for both of them; performing roles very different from anything they have ever taken on before. This amusing musical goes on stage at Maranatha Christian School, December 5-7, and 1213 at 7 p.m. each evening and on Dec. 14 with performances at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Wise Owl Toys; seniors and children under 12 are $8 and $10 for adults. Be sure to get your tickets and come out to a truly delightful, family friendly, musical spoof.

Please note, the next film of the Williams Lake Film Club will be shown on Tuesday, Dec. 10, not Saturday, Dec. 7 as planned earlier. The Colour of Paradise is the last film for the season and will again be shown at 7 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Before the screening a cheque for $2,000 will be presented to the Child Development Centre. The CDC is the new partner of the LDA, the Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities, which is supported with proceeds from the Williams Lake Film Club. After the film there will be a Christmas social.

Fair trade crafts benefit kids LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor One of the tables at the Cataline Elementary School craft fair last month represents more than unique, handcrafted items; it’s a way to support children and families in one of the poorest places in the world. Local Kindergarten and Grade 1 teacher Terry Hathaway returned from a visit to the Griya Shekinah children’s home in Lombok Indonesia determined to make a difference from her home community. Her table at the craft fair featured batik wall hangings, greeting cards made from recycled paper, placemats, bookmarks, wallets and more. These items were made by the students at the Griya Shekinah facility and by women in the community seeking to make life better for their children. When Jim and Terry Hathaway went to Griya Shekinah to visit the children’s home and the school, they offered to bring back some of the recycled items and sell them at a fair price.

To help raise money for the school, the kids make cards, bracelets and bookmarks out of recycled paper to sell, and they do the project from start to finish, including mashing,

soaking and drying the sheets of paper, according to Terry. Terry, said that when she visited Griya Shekinah she got to visit the school and interact with the kids in their classrooms. “I fell in love with the kids and became aware of their needs. They were so open and friendly and eager to learn; language was no barrier and the kids all helped each other with unfamiliar words,” she explained. “This really made

me realize how precious our education is, and how fortunate we are that every child had an education. In some countries that’s not a ‘given.’ “I also met two young women in the area who call themselves ‘noble women’ and help women in the community start small businesses to earn extra income for their families. Some of these women are parents of kids in the school.” The women in the local villages have been

learning sewing and quilting in their own homes for over a year now, Terry said. “The average income for families is about $35 to $50 a month. Making and selling these unique and colourful items can raise the income to $100 to $200 a month. They make things like table runners, aprons, hot pads, custom-designed bookmarks, wallets, purses, shoulder bags, wall hangings and bed quilts,” she continued. “These are a batik art form, unique to Indonesia. The ‘noble women’ have an artist who paints on the fabric for them — each piece unique. The women sew ‘borders’ onto the painted pieces, creating Indonesian landscape window frames — almost a 3-D quilted effect. She said that getting involved with this has affected her everyday life and her everyday faith. “When a shopper purchases a unique piece of batik artwork or recycled paper greeting card or bookmark at this craft fair, you’re not just buying a great gift, you’re helping a child get an education and a family have a better quality of life.”

Higgins researches at Harvard Jacquie Johnston Special to Tribune/Advisor Thompson Rivers University Assistant Professor Rob Higgins visited Harvard University this past summer to pursue his research on developing a better understanding of one particular group of ants in British Columbia (genus Myrmica). The best collection of ant specimen is housed at Harvard University in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Higgins was welcomed by Stefan Cover, curator of ants, and was given full access to the collection and connected with researchers from around the

TRU professor Rob Higgins worked at Harvard this summer. world. “Ants in this genus are extremely difficult to identify to species, a problem that created real world issues when the European fire ant (Myrmica rubra) turned up in British Columbia. There

is a desperate need to clean up the species clutter,” Higgins says. The best collection of ants in Canada is at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi. André Francoeur, a retired taxonomist opened up his collec-

tion to Higgins. He was able to spend a week there going over Myrmica specimens. Through research, Higgins has discovered another species of Myrmica, new to science, from the Hous-

ton/Smithers area of BC. Higgins also came across a new species of European invasive ant that has spread across Vancouver and Victoria (Myrmica specioides). The Canadian National Collection in Ottawa has just asked for specimens for their collection, as well as the Royal BC Museum. Thompson Rivers University is equipped with state of the art science laboratories. Research on the myrmica species continues to be conducted. Jacquie Johnston is the marketing and recruitment co-ordinator for TRU in Williams Lake.

Colour purple a signal to end violence The Purple Ribbon Campaign to end violence against women in our society is a time to remember that all women and men need to be part of the solution to ending violence against women. Purple is the colour of the ribbons that will be given out by more than 50 participating local businesses as part of the campaign. Some women and men are also going as far as having their hair dyed purple, or having purple extensions put in their hair to highlight the event. The campaign began Sunday, Dec. 1 and goes to Tuesday Dec. 10 and coincides with the national Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women this Friday, Dec. 6. The Women’s Contact Society is delivering the Purple Ribbon Campaign in Williams Lake with support from local businesses. Free removable hair extensions are available Wednesday, Dec. 4 to Saturday, Dec. 7 at Intrigue Hair Studio between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. or at Eloquence Spa & Salon between noon and 3 p.m. Purple hair is also

available at Thompson Rivers University on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. The purple ribbon, like the Purple Heart, symbolizes the injury and suffering of victims of violence, in this case not victims of war or political vio-

lence, but of violence against women in our homes, schools, neighbourhoods. The Women’s Contact Society is urging the community to support the campaign for the following reasons. • Domestic violence hurts our children,

women, community and economy. • The World Health Organization states 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence during their lifetime.
