Yvonne Teskey tries to unbury her vehicle from the heavy snowfall that fell while she was shopping downtown Wednesday afternoon. Teskey said of the big snowfall, “you either love it, or hate it.” Judging by her smile, Teskey must fall into the loving it category.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Thanks to a generous donation from the John Gordon Autism Foundation of Vancouver the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre will build an autism centre in Williams Lake. The centre will be built by the next intake of Thompson Rivers Univer-

sity Residential Construction students through a partnership with the Williams Lake Construction Association, School District 27 and the CDC. “We have a second tier off the back lane of our centre where we’d like to create a house-like space that is custom designed to do the work that we already do with kids with autism,” CDC executive director Nancy Gale said Thursday.

Design for the facility would include a large living room, family room and a large commercial country kitchen. “Families could come to work with our staff and their autistic children,” Gale explained. Through a family connection, Cathie Durfeld from Community Living BC in Williams Lake, approached the John Gordon Autism

Foundation for funding. “They told me they wanted to put some money outside of Vancouver,” Durfeld said. Immediately Durfeld and Gale put their heads together, decided to “think big,” and asked for capital funding.

Winter storm hits region, keeps RCMP busy Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Accumulating snow is keeping the Williams Lake RCMP busy this week. On Wednesday morning police responded to many accidents, including a single vehicle roll-over in the 100 block of Mackenzie Avenue South around 9:18 a.m. Upon arrival police

officers located the vehicle on its roof, with the lone occupant driver uninjured. The driver reported going south-bound on Mackenzie Avenue, when the vehicle slid to the right and then rolled onto its roof, Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard said, adding speed was obviously a contributing factor, considering the weather and road conditions.

Weather was the top story of the day Wednesday with as much as 24 cm or more falling within a 24 hour period, keeping emergency personnel busy.

“I am recommending if there is no reason to be driving, don’t,” Brissard said Wednesday. “The streets in Williams Lake, the surrounding area, including the highways, are extremely icy. Visibility is poor with the continuing snowfall, which also increases our chances of becoming involved in an accident.” Brissard encour-

aged drivers to play it safe and keep vehicles parked off the streets. “This will also assist our road crews who are trying to keep our roadways maintained and safe,” he said. “If you do need to venture out, drive defensively. Stopping distances are increased drastically, so speeds need to be reduced accordingly.” Meanwhile, Williams Lake airport manager

Shea De La Mare said there were no flights in and out of Williams Lake airport Wednesday due to the weather. “We’ve recorded 16 centimetres of snow as of 2 p.m.,” De La Mare said Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday De La Mare said all flights were coming in and out because conditions and visibility were “a lot better.”

Labour relations board ruling forces city to reinstate worker Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A terminated unionized city employee will be returning to work in Williams Lake after the Labour Relations Board ruled in her favour. According to an LRB arbitration ruling handed down Nov. 27, Susan Ronalds, 59, was terminated from her position as senior payroll clerk at city hall on April 5, 2013 following an incident which coincided with mounting tensions lead-

ing to the labour strike last February. Ronalds took her case to the LRB, who conducted a three-day hearing in Williams Lake Nov. 6, 7, and 8. According to the ruling, on Feb. 13, 2013, the city put out a press release stating it had been served 72-hour-strike notice by the union and that it had paid out over $250,000 in overtime costs annually. Ronalds thought the number was high and prepared a report of

overtime hours during her lunch hour, which she later shredded. Her report totalled $201,000 in overtime. When management discovered the unauthorized report Ronalds was suspended for a day and two hours without pay. She subsequently went on medical leave, and while she was on leave, staff searched her computer and found an e-mail sent to her home on April 28, 2011 with an attached report.

WE’VE GOT STUFF!

The report outlined the salaries and historical raises of the chief administrative officer and director of finance from 2003 to 2010. City management testified it had lost its trust in Ronalds because of those two incidents and she was terminated. However, arbitrator Emily M. Burke ruled the city had not established the essential elements of the incident for which it wanted to terminate Ronalds. “The city reached cer-

tain conclusions adverse to the grievor without the proper foundation, in my view being unduly influenced by the February incident.” Burke concluded Ronalds gave no explanation for the report created two years previously as she did not recall it. “She understood the seriousness of a breach of confidentiality and expressed remorse for her conduct of Feb. 14, 2013,” Burke said. Ronalds said this

There is increasing evidence that shows that brain changes leading to dementia occur decades before the actual symptoms appear. This means that early diagnosis of dementia is very important.

It can help equalize the pressures in your head.

week the ruling came as an early Christmas present. “I am pleased about the ruling of course,” she said. “Right now I am in negotiations with the city with regards to what the process is going to be. We’ll see where it goes from here.” The city’s CAO Darrell Garceau confirmed the city is negotiating with Ronalds. “Until it’s been resolved I am not at liberty to say anything,” Garceau said. “I have a meeting with council

and a subsequent meeting with Mrs. Ronalds this week. We’re going through the process of acknowledging the awards and going through that now,” he said. Ronalds was able to find other employment soon after she was terminated, but wanted to return to the city, she said. “I feel this is a good thing for everyone that works for the city, all unionized employees,” Ronalds said.

The holidays seem to encourage to more alcohol consumption. One good rule to follow at social events is to drink two non-alcoholic drinks to one alcoholic drink. The extra fluid might make you feel fuller and you may eat less as well. Pharmacists are often asked if they can have a glass of wine or a beer with their medication. There are some medications in which alcohol would be totally prohibited. We will ensure you know what cautions to observe when taking your medication. So you might be able to enjoy that glass of wine after all! You can trust the information our pharmacists give you about the drugs you are taking. Education of our customers is a job we take seriously. Let us serve your pharmacy needs soon.

Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1–2” from the base of the trunk. Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit.

for the hampers. In addition, the hampers will contain cookies and pies. For regular hampers throughout the year the need is for pasta, pasta sauce, beans, canned meats and fish, and peanut butter. In just a few hours last year the Williams Lake community contributed four Cariboo GM pick-up truck loads of nonperishable food, toys and gifts for children and teens. In addition a total of $1,013 in cheques and cash was donated during the campaign to make Christmas a little brighter for individuals and families in need. “The Tribune/Weekend Advisor would really like to thank the many participating businesses for their generosity,” McLean says. “Support from our local businesses and the public is a real blessing for Williams Lake in keeping with the spirit of Christmas.”

Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Connect no more than three strands of mini string sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer’s instructions for number of LED strands to connect. Never use lit candles to decorate the tree. Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.

after christmas

Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home. Check with your local community to find a recycling program. Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer.

This Salvation Army’s Christmas Cheer campaign will be distributing between 130 and 170 hampers on Friday, Dec. 20, says project co-ordinator Sabrina Silvey. Toys and gifts for 103 children from toddlers to ages 16 are also needed, Silvey says. Given these needs in our community the Tribune/Weekend Advisor is hoping the community will once again give generously at our annual Food and Toy Drive coming up this Saturday. “The community of Williams Lake has always been very generous in the past and we hope that people will continue to support this worthy community cause,” says Marketing Director Kathy McLean. A total of 48 businesses have participated in our gift guide/ food and toy drive pro-

and a set of four Summit trail climber allseason tires from Sugar Cane Tread Pro. The 11th annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive runs this Saturday, Dec. 14 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tribune/Weekend Advisor located at 188 North First Avenue. “I am really excited to be sharing the generostity and good will this day brings out in our community with our new team members Acting Editor Angie Mindus, Marketing Director Kathy McLean, and Evan Fentiman in production,” says publisher Lisa Bowering. For the Christmas food hampers the Salvation Army is seeking donations of hams, turkeys, canned vegetables, fruit, candies, gravy, hot chocolate, coffee, jam and peanut butter. The Salvation Army will also be purchasing fresh milk, margarine, potatoes, carrots, onions, yams, and turnips

Operation Red Nose grows with the season Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Operation Red Nose has given out 96 rides in Williams Lake so far in an effort to keep drunk drivers off the road this holiday season. “We have been

blessed with volunteers,” safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson said Wednesday. “We had 18 volunteers one night and 16 the next.” Four youth organizations who will benefit from the pro-

Each group is expected to supply nine volunteers on the night they are assigned. To augment the groups’ efforts, local Rotarians and guys like community policing chair Andy Sullivan or Citizens

Changes to hockey viewing In the grand scheme of things, perhaps a $5 billion deal for the rights to broadcast National Hockey League games is not a big talking point, not important or serious enough to take up space on the editorial pages of a newspaper. But hey, who said we had to be serious all the time? Numbers show millions of Canadians watch hockey, every week. More people in this province watch the Canucks than anything else on TV — period. So, what does this new deal giving Rogers the bulk of the broadcasting rights mean to hockey fans in this province? At first glance, it’s disappointing. Or at least it’s a little annoying from a viewer standpoint. Perhaps B.C. fans who live in a vacuum and watch nothing but the Canucks don’t notice, but the Rogers Sportsnet Pacific broadcasts are, well, kind of bush league in comparison to games shown by TSN or CBC. In-game graphics are woeful, including the seemingly simple

task of displaying the penaltytime clock in a reliable fashion, or, goodness forbid, a semi-frequent out-of-town scoreboard or stats/information about players and their minor/junior hockey origins. John Shorthouse is a good game-caller, but he’s no Jim Hughson, Chris Cuthbert or even Gord Miller. Is it too much to ask for some actual analysis that goes beyond the predictable goalie-had-nochance-on-that-one schtick from a former tender? One bright spot that may come of this Rogers-NHL deal is choice. Real hockey fans want to see Montreal-Toronto or Pittsburgh-Washington or Chicago-Los Angeles games that are loaded with B.C. and Canadianborn stars. TSN and CBC have provided many opportunities for that in the past, and we’re hearing that won’t go away, might even be bolstered, by Rogers. At this point, all we can do is observe with interest. – Black Press

Perhaps add an extra pinch of mercy It happened a long time ago in a town far away. The family — a man, his wife, and their daughter lived in a little house perched high on a hill. It was December, and the sun and night’s snowfall had fused the morning into clear, crisp, winter magic. Just after breakfast the little girl came downstairs wearing merely tights and a t-shirt, and said she was going outside. The mother said, “Oh, honey, it’s awfully cold outside. You had better put on some warm clothes!” With a flip of her head, the daughter impudently asked, “Do I have to?” Was it time for mercy, or justice? The problem had been getting worse for some time.

Living out Loud

with Rita Corbett

The father could have ignored it and left the refinement of the child to the mother. He could have punished the girl and sent her back to her room, demanding more clothing and more respect. He could have wistfully ignored

the problem and let moment pass, reserving the error for another day. Justice alone creates an atmosphere where tenderness is scarce. And mercy without structure leaves a child groundless and weak. Served together, kindness and guidelines can produce in a child’s character both warmth and stability — qualities badly needed in our goulash world. Or should we be guessing extremists, simply taking turns between the two — this time justice, next time mercy? Without further consideration, the father said, “Let’s go for a walk, to see what we can see.” They went into the cold together — she dressed as she was and he dressed not much better. As they walked, he kept check-

ing on her. “Honey, are you OK?” No answer. “Honey, are you OK?” Nothing but a grunt. Finally, as she moved closer and closer to his warmth, he asked again, “Honey, are you OK?” “No, daddy, I’m very cold.” What happened next was seen out the window by someone living nearby. The father did not berate the child with an “I told you so.” Nor did he let her know by any rough action that he had wisely been right. Yet he prevented her dangerously doing what she wished. Permissiveness isn’t mercy! He didn’t even build a bonfire and threaten to throw her in, (as we sometimes accuse God of doing). He simply took off his shirt,

wrapped her in it, and carried her up the driveway toward home. And she learned — consequence, boundaries, and love. Good dad? I’d say so. But would a worthy sovereign being operate any less kindly, any less appropriately, or be any less willing to experience the same difficulties we do? In any chef’s kitchen, a final scan of ingredients occurs just before pouring out the concoction for baking. If we looked up, we might see a master chef operating the same way. Perhaps He would sample the mixture, check the recipe, and finish it off by adding an extra pinch of mercy — for me. LOL@wltribune.com.

Ottawa puts on pipeline push The federal government stepped up its sales pitch for new pipelines to the B.C. coast earlier this month, as it prepares for the imminent release of the federal review panel’s report on the feasibility of the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver arrived in Vancouver to release an expert panel’s report on the current state of tanker safety on the West Coast. It was the first of two reports that tell the Stephen Harper government in blunt terms how steep a hill it must climb to enable energy exports to Asia. Oliver gave a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade the following morning, where he vowed to implement one of the panel’s key recommendations. Legislation is coming to ensure that polluters, not taxpayers, must pay for any environmental damage from resource development and transport. The panel was chaired by Gordon Houston, a former Prince Rupert harbourmaster and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver. Its report details the littlenoticed fact that coastal waters around Victoria and Vancouver are already congested with shipping traffic, including Alaska oil tankers, and are at “very high risk” of an incident. Of course that “very high risk” should be seen in the B.C. context, where there has never been a serious oil spill at sea in a century of continuous petroleum shipping. The report calls for poten-

B.C. Views

tial polluters to show they are prepared for a “worst case” discharge like the 1989 Exxon Valdez grounding in Alaska. It tells Ottawa the Canadian Coast Guard must be properly funded to serve as incident command. Oliver recounted efforts made so far, including annual tanker inspections, increased aerial surveillance and marine markers. And he reminded his audience that Canada’s only energy export customer, the U.S., is about to surpass Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest petroleum producer. The second federal report was from Doug Eyford, a lawyer who has been meeting for months with aboriginal communities in northern B.C. and Alberta. He found, as Enbridge has reported, that many aboriginal communities are working with energy producers to get the economic activity they so desperately need. (Most urban people likely don’t believe this, because the conflict-addicted media report mostly protests.) Eyford’s report is no white-

wash either. It reminds Ottawa that B.C.’s unresolved aboriginal title and a general lack of trust of both the energy industry and the federal government are key obstacles to the largest economic opportunity in the world today, the rise of Asia. Eyford was dealing with the profusion of gas pipeline projects that are set to cross northern B.C., as well as the Enbridge and Kinder Morgan Canada oil proposals. The entrenched opposition is against oil, particularly heavy oil in tankers.

Politics and protesters aside, these are the facts for B.C. The prosperous provinces in Canada today are Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, based mainly on energy development. The rest are struggling. B.C. continues to lose skilled workers to Alberta, where oil sands development continues to expand despite the continuing chorus of U.S.-financed misrepresentation of its environmental impact. It’s a key moment in Canadian history. This is where we see if we can go beyond our status as a client

state of the U.S. This year’s B.C. election, where pandering to urban protest backfired on the NDP, suggests a new seriousness in the public mood. More people understand today that our comfortable modern society with free-access health care is a fragile thing. We have it better than most of the world, for now.

Some assembly may be required There are three words often heard at this time of the year that strike fear into the hearts of fathers everywhere. Those three words can crush the spirit of even the most capable dad. Those words are, ‘some assembly required.’ How many fathers have tried to do the ‘assembly required’ only to break the present or never getting it to work properly? Ahh...the fun of Christmas. It can certainly be enjoyable at Christmas time — opening the presents from underneath the decorated tree and, espe-

cially, watching the faces of the youngsters light up as they unwrap the gifts with their name on it.

I remember one Christmas as a small boy in Indian Head, Saskatchewan. My uncles made a phone call to our house and pretended to be Santa and asking what would I like for Christmas. That call got me really excited and then on Christmas Eve I was told I had to go to sleep so Santa would come to our house. My uncles got on top of our house and did all the noises and sounds that would come from a reindeer and Santa. Didn’t take long for me to go to sleep after that...even though I was so excited. It’s funny I can remember

that time so many years ago, when Santa came to our house. Yes, Christmas is a special time for children and many of us remember those merry times. I also had to go to church and take my part in a Christmas play about the birth of Jesus and sing carols ... My singing was pretty bad, but fortunately there were others with me who did have a singing voice. Those memories as a child and the memories of our own son at Christmas time will last me forever. I hope you have good thoughts about those days when you couldn’t wait for San-

ta to come to your house with presents. Another plus at Christmas are the cards and letters from relatives and friends, some who you have not heard from since last year at this time. I like the cards home made by children as they always make this time of the year, happier. Christmas is a great time of the year with lots of smiles on faces and happiness in the heart. Merry Christmas! May the true spirit of the season be with you! Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

B.C. presses for Cariboo gold mine Tom Fletcher Black Press Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Ottawa Thursday to press for federal approval of the New Prosperity copper and gold mine proposed near Williams Lake. Bennett spoke at a news conference organized by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce before leaving to meet with four federal ministers. He said the recent decision by Canfor Corp. to close its Quesnel sawmill in March is not the last of the bad news for the Cariboo-Chilcotin as the mountain pine beetle infestation takes its toll on the forest industry. “Certainly the government of British Columbia is well aware that there is serious opposition to this project

from the Tsilhqot’in people, and we respect that opposition,” Bennett said. He said 37 per cent of B.C.’s mining royalties now go to First Nations through revenue sharing agreements, and there is more the province can do to work with the Tsilhqot’in communities that have fought against the Prosperity mine through two federal assessments. Taseko Mines, which operates the nearby Gibraltar copper mine that is the region’s largest employer, revamped its design for Prosperity after it was rejected in the first federal review. After the second set of hearings, Taseko applied for a judicial review, saying the panel overlooked the use of a barrier in the mine tailings storage. John Meech, a mine

engineering professor at the University of B.C., said the new design not only protects nearby Fish Lake, but will enhance fish habitat. “I base my assessment on a designed seepage rate that matches what is happening at two other mines in the region, Gibraltar and Mt. Polley, and anyone who tells you that the seepage rates are in error is not telling you the truth,” Meech said.

Ervin Charleyboy, former chief of the Alexis Creek First Nation, said he has been shunned by the current Tsilhqot’in chiefs for supporting the new mine design. “I want a future for my grandkids,” Charleyboy said. Tsilhqot’in leaders have appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada in their longrunning case to have their traditional territory declared independent from B.C.

A Feire Green Fire up for discussion

MARANATHA MUSICAL WRAPS UP

Richard Case Special to Tribune/Advisor The Transition Town Group is hosting a film and discussion night on Monday, Dec. 16 starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. The film being shown is called A Feire Green Fire, The battle for a living planet. Environmentalism is the largest movement the world has ever seen and it may also be the most important — in terms of what’s at stake. Yet it’s not easy being green. Environmentalists have been reviled as much as revered, for being killjoys and Cassandras. 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

Canada Post to end home delivery in urban areas Community mail boxes coming for all remaining households Jeff Nagel Black Press Canada Post will phase out door-todoor delivery of mail in urban areas in a new bid to cut costs. Many newer suburban neighbourhoods already have community mailboxes. But the Crown corporation says the remaining one third of Canadian

households that still get home delivery will be switched to community mailboxes or grouped or lobby mailboxes over the next five years. It cites declining use of postal mail — a billion fewer pieces of mail were delivered last year compared to 2006 — as households shift to online bill payments and other digital

communication. The price of stamps will also go up from 63 to 85 cents each if bought in booklets, or $1 for individual stamps. It means up to 8,000 fewer postal workers will be needed, which Canada Post says will be shed by attrition, as nearly 15,000 workers are expected to retire or leave voluntarily over the next five years.

“With its current labour costs, Canada Post has a much higher cost structure than its competitors in the private sector have,” Canada Post said in a news release. “This is simply not sustainable.” The reduced workforce and other changes are expected to save a combined $700 to $900 million per year. A Conference Board

of Canada report last spring found Canada Post would face losses of $1 billion a year by 2020 without major reform. Reaction has been mixed but one concern being raised is that many more banks of community mailboxes will be vulnerable to mail theft by identity thieves. There have been

ongoing mail theft reports in Metro Vancouver communities that already have the clustered group boxes. Surrey resident Craig Findlay says the community mailbox in his Fleetwood neighbourhood was broken into repeatedly and says Canada Post must make them more secure before converting the remaining urban

neighbourhoods. “It’s going to be an exercise in futility as far as I’m concerned,” Findlay said. Findlay said it might be smarter to reduce home delivery to every second or third day, or else put group boxes in publicly accessible indoor areas such as malls, until mail thieves can be thwarted.

Christmas Can Still Change The World Halloween is now over, so that means we must be gearing up for...CHRISTMAS? The ghost of Halloween past has barely been put away for another yea, yet it seems that Christmas is in the air, or at least in the major retailers. Already the Christmas themed displays are making their appearance. It seems that the retail corporate calendar is much different from the calendars most of us have hanging on our walls. As I sit at my computer I receive a text reminding me there is ONLY 53 shopping days left until that most reverent day of celebration. Wow, only 53 days? I better hurry out and begin racking up the credit cards so I will be appropriately prepared! The past number of years my thoughts regarding the current itineration of Christmas have degenerated. Our current Christmas celebration plays out like Jesus meets Dr. Frankenstein and the experiment has gone very wrong. The resulting monster is an abomination that has been running rampant through our culture leaving a wake of debt and destruction for the past generations. In my opinion, our cultural Christmas practises are much scarier than any Halloween happenings. However, in 2006 I stumbled across a little video on the web that grabbed my attention. It was called

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA “The Advent Conspiracy.” The video states, “The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a saviour has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas? What if Christmas became a worldchanging event again? Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.” This short video caught not only my eye, but my heart as well. It tells

of a counter-cultural vision of what Christmas should/could become. The simple premise is this, this year 1.8 million people will die from the lack of clean water to drink. That includes 3,900 children a day. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death in under resourced countries many times more than war and terrorism combined. “The solution is simple; drilling a fresh water well is a relatively inexpensive, yet permanent solution to this epidemic. $10 will give a child clean water for life. That’s not an estimate. It’s a fact. And here’s another fact: Solving this water problem once and for all will cost about $10 billion. Not bad considering Americans spent $450 billion on Christmas last year” Did you get that statistic? 1.8 million lives per year can be saved if we are willing to buy a couple less trivial presents and give the money to one of a number of water drilling charities. The choice is ours, a gag gift for a co-worker, anther tie for dad, an ugly sweater for your dog, or participating in saving the lives of 3900 children per day. The best part is that the Advent Conspiracy is a grass roots movement that does not take money themselves, but only encourages you to become a part of the Conspiracy that could change the world.

Residents ask council for new intersection study disaster,” Stevenson said, adding that any redesign of the intersections needs to consider improvements for the next 25 years. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor asked the group if the city hired an independent traffic engineer, would the group accept his or her recommendations and Moon said “yes.” While Coun. Ivan Bonnell said he believed the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure would have done extensive traffic count data in order to come up with its designs. At the Dec. 17 regular meeting, council will receive a report from staff about the Highway project. “It will be up to council to make a decision based on the report, as well as the public meetings and the contents of tonight’s presentation,” the city’s CAO Darrell Garceau said.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council should hire an independent traffic engineer to analyze traffic patterns before making any final decisions for upgrades at the Toop Road and Carson Drive Highway 97 intersections in Williams Lake. That’s the message a local residents’ group brought to city council at its committee of the whole meeting Tuesday. “We consulted a lawyer and he suggested a professional traffic engineer should be involved,” Ninth Avenue resident John Moon said. “We also spoke with a traffic engineer and traffic analyst from Vancouver. These two people already have first-hand knowledge of the two intersections.” Moon said local residents are not against the highway project

Shel Myers, Gord Stevenson, Sharon Smith and John Moon told city council’s comittee of the whole Tuesday it needs to hire an independent traffic engineer before any changes are made at the Toop Road and Carson Drive Highway 97 intersections. or resisting change, as some people have suggested. “Of course people who live in the neighbourhood have concerns. That’s what a community is all about.” The changes, however, will affect all residents of the city, he added. Shel Myers has lived near Johnson Street

Myers said traffic has increased in the area since the schools were re-configurated. “I am deeply concerned about this project and cannot standby and watch council make a bad decision,”

Myers said. “You need to collect relevant and meaningful data. Here’s your chance to make a good decision.” Between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. one afternoon, Johnson Street resident Gordon Stevenson said he counted 191 vehicles exit Carson Drive onto the highway. “Taking the lights out there would be a

Family crisis brings out generosity of community Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer This Christmas a Williams Lake family will be holding each other a little closer. Their son will undergo surgery on Dec. 10 at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “Doctors will open up the back half of Hayden’s skull to give his brain room to grow normally,” Hayden’s mom Lindsey Shewcuk said Monday. “Right now his brain is growing down his spine and is not protected properly.” Hayden will be three years old in January. His mom said this summer he started having some headaches. The headaches didn’t last long, but because Hayden’s speech has been delayed, he couldn’t really say much more than point to his head, Lindsey said. “Then we had his hair cut and I noticed his head looked different. When you felt it, it looked indented.” An appointment with their family doctor resulted in a referral to the pediatrician who ordered X-rays. “That was in September and when the X-rays came back it looked like it was copper beaten skull. It looked like a bag of marbles had been thrown in his head,” Lindsey said. The pediatrician told them it looked like the brain is pushing against the skull. Between the age of two and three brains grow quite a bit, but it didn’t look like he had a lot of room, Lindsey said. From there he had a full MRI at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to see if his brain was either growing too quickly or if his soft spot had fused too quickly. “It wasn’t fun to have him (anesthetized) but

The Shewchuk family Hayden, Daniel, Lindsey and Kiera will spend Christmas in Vancouver because Hayden will undergo brain surgery. they were great there at Children’s. We met with the neurosurgeons after and they said they wanted to do a CT Scan the next day.” Results showed some of Hayden’s brain was growing down his spine and there wasn’t a lot of room. The doctors labelled it Chiari malformation type I, Lindsey said. “We also saw an opthamologist to make sure there wasn’t any pressure behind his eyes, and that was good, there was no pressure.” And the MRI came back showing his brain development was normal. “It was a relief,” Lindsey said. In advance of his surgery on Dec. 20, he will undergo some pressure tests on Dec. 17. “From the pressure tests we will know if they are just going to open up the back part of his skull or his whole head.” Despite the anxiety they are feeling for their little guy, Lindsey and her husband, Daniel, have experienced overwhelming support from the community. “We have had support from co-workers, from Hayden’s daycare where a family made an anonymous dona-

tion. Everywhere we’ve gone people have been so good,” Lindsey said. Lindsey’s parents, city councillor Laurie Walters and her husband, Todd Walters, are going to spend Christmas in Vancouver and will bring Hayden’s sister five-year-old Kiera along as well. Laurie said she and Todd are overwhelmed by the support the family has received from the community. “We have had so much support, love and kindness. We live in a truly amazing community,” she said. “There have been many people praying for us and we’re grateful.” Hayden doesn’t really know what’s going on, Lindsey said, but it’s been an emotional roller coaster for the adults in the family. Some days it’s fine to talk about it. Other days are hard. “You see someone, they ask how it’s going, and I break down.” One of her cousins in Vancouver knows someone who has donated the use of a condo for the family to stay together at Christmas. Laurie said being able to stay in the condo will help bring more normalcy for everyone. “Hopefully Hayden

will get out of the hospital on the 24th, we can cook a Christmas dinner there and make it like home.” Recalling other Christmases, Lindsey said she’s been consumed about what her children wanted for

Christmas, whereas this year she’s learned more than ever to be grateful. “I’ve done toy drives and things before, but have never really focused on what other people go through,” she said. On Tuesday Lindsey stopped working and pulled Hayden out of daycare to spend time with him before they head down to Vancouver. “If he gets sick they won’t be able to do anything,” she said, noting the importance of him not catching a cold or flu. “They could only rebook us.” Laurie is hopeful the surgery will make Hayden better, and described the whole experience as a gift. “Christmas is going to be awesome because we’ll all be together,” she said.

REALTOR TIPS LIGHTING UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS Remember to exercise a few precautions before plugging in your lights this year. 1. Use lights and extension cords approved for outdoor use only if you’re plugging in outside 2. When hanging lights be sure that all plugs are well above the ground – away from moisture 3. Do not pierce the cord with thumbtacks or nails, use large enough staples instead 4. Never touch a string of lights that you suspect may be damaged until the power is shut off 5. To be on the safe side, don’t join more than three strands of lights at a time 6. Light sockets may become a fire hazard if they are cracked – remove moisture or debris before replacing bulbs 7. Remember to always turn your lights off when you go to bed!

Night promotes sense of belonging In an effort to build positive relationships, the second annual Williams Lake Indian Band (WLIB) Parent/ Teacher Night was held in the community of Sugar Cane at the Elizabeth Grouse Memorial Gymnasium recently. The event was well attended by faculty from both the Williams Lake Secondary and Columneetza campuses of Lake City Secondary, and was hosted in an effort to build and strengthen relationships between WLIB parents and school district staff, and to initiate discussion on a number of topics of

importance to parents and students. The theme for the evening was “Everything you want to know about high school,” with the goal to provide information that could assist students and parents with the transition from elementary to high school. Participants gathered in a traditional circle and parents were given the opportunity to engage district faculty on a variety of subjects including questions about electives, the Go To Team, how students with special needs are addressed and how a teacher determines a

student’s learning style and enhances it. Guests included the School District 27 superintendent Mark Thiessen and his son, various school district support staff, as well as the principal, vice principal and numerous teachers and counsellors from Lake City Secondary. Also present as special guests were several members of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment. The event was co-organized by the WLIB Education Department and Mike Levitt, secondary transitions counsellor and severe behavior consultant for

School District 27. As in the previous year, the event also included a pizza dinner followed by a friendly game of ball hockey. The WLIB students teamed with the Williams Lake RCMP detachment and challenged the faculty of Lake City Secondary. “On behalf of WLIB’s education de-

partment I would like to thank all our students, their parents and our honoured guests for attending our parent/teacher night,” said Heather McKenzie, WLIB councillor and education manager. “The event was a great success, and we look forward to continuing the tradition in the future.”

Musical Ride funds support local causes Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As it dawned on them the cheque they were holding was for $1,000 a group of local school students gasped. All members of Kids for Causes at Mountview Elementary School in Williams Lake, the students were among 13 organizations who received money Wednesday at the community policing office on Oliver Street. The money came from proceeds of July’s RCMP Musical Ride performance in Williams Lake. “When all the expenses were covered we had $21,000 to share with community groups,” said community policing chair Andy Sullivan. “It was a nice gift.” Kids for Causes has already made blankets for people who will be at risk in cold weather, given 80 hand warmers out at Remembrance Day and donated two hens, one rooster and a goat to an African village. And they have have a big list of things they want to do in the future. Among the list are tasks such as making moose stew with all the fixings for people in Boitanio Park, buying Christmas

Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association’s president Paul Sorley and vice-present Karen Chabot accepted a cheque Wednesday to assist the minor hockey program. presents for a few children, growing plants for seniors and sewing leashes for the SPCA. “We have lots of other plans,” said teacher Shelly Peel who heads up the group. “This

money we got today will all go back into the community.” The group meets about once every two weeks, or weekly if something special is going on.

Looking at the students Peel said, “What’s the word I keep telling you guys? That we have to be altruistic.” Equally as excited about a donation from the fund for the Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society, Candice Magnowski said the money will go toward workshops. In its second full year the society has seen its numbers double. “We started out with $500 and have grown to an annual budget of $12,000 to enable us to put on workshops and make it affordable,” Magnowski said. “It was a leap of faith, for sure.” Other recipients were the Boys and Girls Club, Seniors Activity Centre, Williams

Lake Minor Hockey Association, Cariboo Chilcotin Gymnastics Association, Williams Lake Wrestling Club, Williams Lake Speed Skating Association, Cariboo Kennel Club, Horse M Powered Equine Assisted Learning, Lions Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Williams Lake. Community policing received 30 applications that were reviewed by a committee. “We decided to put the money where it would affect the most youth,” he told the recipients. Sullivan also praised Citizens on Patrol chair Bob McIntosh for organizing the musical ride, saying he spearheaded the entire event from start to finish. McIntosh, however, praised the community for its support. “To me this was a community event for the community and it was the community that made it happen,” McIntosh said as he looked around the room. “You should thank yourselves.” The rodeo grandstand was pretty much full, he added. “People wanted to see the musical ride and they got a good show.”

Horoscope Mar 21/Apr 20 Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries. The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open. Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being. Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds. May 22/Jun 21 Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance. Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you’re not sure. Jul 23/Aug 23 Every day is a learning process. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something. Aug 24/Sept 22 Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best. Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days. Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions. Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week. But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head. Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don’t get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

Station House needs repairs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The president of the Station House Gallery Society said the Station House building is becoming an embarrassment. Speaking at city council’s committee of the whole meeting Tuesday evening, Kathryn Steen said the old B.C. Rail Sta-

tion that houses the gallery and gift shop needs a paint job, plus chimney and water damage repair. There are also life and safety issues involved, Steen said. “When KMP Architecture did a study, they said we need a fire sprinkler system, and another fire exit for the second floor,” Steen said.

Williams Lake’s Krystle Carpenter, a UBC Okanagan Heat women’s rugby player (back left), looks to retrieve the ball from a scrum during the semifinal match against the Britannia Rugby Club Lions recently.

Carpenter, Heat, take silver at championship Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Krystle Carpenter can’t help but feel a little bit sad her University of British Columbia Okanagan Heat women’s rugby team’s season is over, despite winning a silver medal in the BC Club Rugby Tier 2 League recently. The 23-year-old former Williams Lake secondary high school rugby standout, who will graduate this year with a degree in human kinetics from UBCO, was a member of the Heat’s inaugural squad, and has continued to lead and captain the team over its past three seasons. “It is a bit sad,” Carpenter said. “I’m the oldest player on the team now and I feel like I helped grow this team and now I’ll be leaving it.” Carpenter and the Heat are coming off the team’s most successful season — a second-place finish in the BCRL after a 25-12 loss to Abbotsford in the championship final. It was the first time the team

Her teammates would literally go to war for her, because they know she would do the same for them.” - Rob o’Brien was made up entirely of university students. To reach the final the Heat, with Carpenter playing a significant role in the scrum-half position, outscored their opponents 170-0 in their last three games to finish the season with six wins and one loss. “It’s almost like we were a brand new team from the start of the season,” Carpenter said. “It’s amazing how far this team has come. At first we were really dependent on a few play-

ers but everyone’s learned to play with each other.” In the semifinal over the Britannia Rugby Club Lions, Carpenter scored three tries, helping the Heat to a 43-0 win in late November to advance to the final. Heat head coach Rob O’Brien said Carpenter has been a driving factor in the team’s progression over the years. “Krystle is a force on the field,” he said. “She is both a constant offensive threat as well

as a punishing defender. However, her importance to the team goes far beyond this. “Her teammates would literally go to war for her, because they know she would do the same for them. Even though she will be hard to replace, she has provided key mentorship to the younger players.” Looking back, Carpenter said she couldn’t have asked for a better run with the team, which will resume women’s sevens play in the spring. “I’ve loved it,” she said. “The first two years we were just a sevens team — the first year we didn’t even have to make cuts — and now we’ve got a full team.” She also has a message for young rugby players in Williams Lake. “I want the girls in Williams Lake to know you can go out and play at a higher level,” she said, noting she plans to pursue playing with a New Zealand rugby team after she graduates this April. “There are opportunities out there.”

The Williams Lake Stampeders, during its last regular season home game of the year against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks, are hosting Help the Stamps Stamp out Hunger. Anyone who brings a non-perishable food item to the game will receive a free program and a chance to win one of several prizes and prize packs up for grabs. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Mt. Timothy to open Saturday Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The staff at Mt. Timothy Ski Area and snow enthusiasts around the region are chomping at the bit this week as the local ski hill prepares to open this weekend. And Adam Piccolo, general manager of Mt.

Timothy Ski Area, has some good news — the conditions are expected to accommodate one of the best opening weekends in the ski hill’s existence. “If we get another 25 centimetres now it would be unreal up here,” Piccolo said Tuesday. “We have

more snow than we’ve opened with in a long time.” Piccolo noted, as of Thursday, the ski hill had a 76-centimetre base of snow at midmountain. However, since then more snow has fallen. “Basically everything will be open,” he said.

“The only things that will be closed will be the double black diamond area and the platter lift won’t be open the first weekend. “And if we do get a big snowfall we’ll be looking at getting the platter ready for the following weekend.” Opening day is this Saturday, Dec. 14, and to celebrate, Mt. Timothy Ski Area will offer mid-week rates to guests. One change skiers and snowboarders will notice upon arriving is the guest services desk has been moved downstairs to the basement of the day lodge to work in tandem with the pro shop. Some logging around parts of the mountain was also conducted over the summer. Piccolo said it’s an exciting time of year

for him and the staff. For much of the summer Piccolo and, for the past few months, several other staff members, have been working around the clock making sure all of the necessary safety and maintenance work has been completed. “It’s going to be a really nice change of gears to have people around again,” he said. “The summer time can get pretty desolate up here all by yourself and we’re just really looking forward to seeing all the friendly faces again.” For up to date snow conditions and more visit www.skitimothy. com, call the snow phone at 1-877-3921446, or visit the Mt. Timothy Ski Area facebook page featuring live snow reports and other information.

Public Advisory Notice Cariboo Region Lake Aerators

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis). Please direct questions or comments regarding aerator operation to: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Williams Lake (Cariboo) 400 - 640 Borland St. Williams Lake, BC V2G 4T1 Telephone: 250-398-4530 Facsimile: 250-398-4214

Three athletes from the Williams Lake Judo Club recently competed in provincial competition, bringing home some impressive and promising results. Ten-year-old newcomer to the sport, Sean Marshall, plus Anthony DiMarco, 8, and Georgia DiMarco, 11, took to the Lower Mainland late November and early December for their respective tournaments. For Marshall, who travelled to Steveston on Nov. 23 for the event, it was his first time competing in a tournament. Williams Lake Judo Club Sensei Jeff DiMarco said it was a fantastic learning experience for his student. “He had two tough fights but lost them both,” Jeff said. “It’s always a great learning experience your first time out.” Jeff’s son, Anthony, and daughter, Georgia, travelled to Burnaby on Dec. 7 for the Burnaby Judo Tournament. And both, in their respective divisions, marched away with gold medals. “They were both in tough divisions,” Jeff said. “It was good to see how evenly matched the competition was so it made them work a little harder. It probably could have gone either way.” Both Anthony and Georgia went through

The mother/daughter team of Joan and Jazmyn Douillard are thrilled to be opening their new book store 1st Editions in the former Cariboo Book Bin location on First Avenue.

1st Editions hosts grand opening next Thursday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The popular Cariboo Book Bin has new owners, a new name, and a few changes. The mother/daughter team of Joan and Jazmyn Douillard purchased the Book Bin from Angie Nicholson in November and will hold their grand opening this Saturday, December 21. Their new store is called 1st Editions: Books and More. “We’re partners, mum and daughter,” says mom Joan. The original store started out in the 1970s in the basement of 35A First Avenue South between Trattoria and Frames by Bruce. The store started out as a used book store and remains so today. “We carry used books,

a selection of comics and nerd paraphernalia and will continue to carry Christian merchandise,” Joan says. “The first thing anyone asks when they come in is, ‘Are you keeping the Christian side?’ and we would never let it go but we are bringing in more gifts for everyone as well.” “We’re also happy that we’ve started bringing in fair trade gifts such as soapstone carvings, purses, and stationery, as well as some work by local artists and artisans,” adds Jazmyn. “We realize it’s an odd mix, but in the last month we’ve received nothing but encouragement from the community and a lot of happy new customers. “We are the only Christian book store, but we have a very eclectic mix of nerd,

comics, geek chic, and much more.” 1st Editions has also opened up an area of the store to provide space for a community book club to meet and where traditional board game evenings will be held for anyone interested. The women came to buy the book store by sheer chance. “I walked into the Cariboo Book Bin for the first time this year in November and later that day walked past ReMax and saw it was for sale,” Jazmyn says. “We were in the office two days later to buy it. We both have a huge passion for books, and being a big nerd I was having trouble finding the type of items I love in town, as were many of my friends.” Both Jazmyn and Joan have owned businesses in the past. Jazmyn is an

illustrator, and Joan is a hair stylist by trade. But they were both feeling a little cooped up and in need of a change. “We saw the posting for the Book Bin and something clicked,” Joan says. “Everyone is welcome and if we don’t have it, we will do our best to help you find it. We believe sincerely in excellent customer service and always want whomever enters the store to leave it with a smile.” Jazmyn has been in Williams Lake for three years and has been a member of the Studio Theatre for two years as well as doing her best to be involved with the arts community. 1st Editions: Books and More will celebrate its grand opening Saturday, Dec. 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

So this is Christmas We are in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. A song I remember is John Lennon’s So This Is Christmas. So this is Christmas  And what have you done?  Another year over  And a new one just begun  As I thought about this verse I tried to think, “what have I really done this Christmas and this year?” The Salvation Army is preparing Christmas hampers, Christmas dinner, ringing bells in stores with our bubbles, attending fund raising events, parties and so on. It seems like a lot but what have I done this Christmas and all this past year? I find that I have not done what I would have liked. I would have like to have told more people about the love of God.

PARSONS PEN

BY Captain RandY I would like to have given more. I would like to have been more appreciative to those who have donated so generously. So having said I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that God loves you. He gave the most precious gift of all His Son Jesus John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not

send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Secondly Jesus when asked said, Matthew 22:3739 ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’[d] 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” The description of love 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a 4 Love suffers long and is kind; does not envy; does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never

fails. Words cannot express how much we appreciate the generosity of the people of Williams Lake. From the depths of our hearts thank you for making our task easier. Whenever there was a need for groceries, funds or goods to sell our shelves were stocked by you. Paul said 2 Corinthians 9:7-8:7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. So this Christmas as you listen to John Lennon know that you have done abundantly this year. Finally I want thank all of you for kind words, for reading my Pastor Pen. This will be my last submission as Claudine and I are embarking on a new adventure and mission.

Lakecity environmental groups receive gaming grants Two environmental organizations in Williams Lake have received a total of $120,000 in funding through the B.C. Government’s Community Gaming Grant Program. The Invasive Species Council of British Columbia (ISCBC) is a registered charity which works to minimize the negative ecological, social, and economic impacts caused by the introduction, establishment, and spread of invasive species. The ISCBC received $100,000 for education, awareness and training. The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society is a non-profit society which works with the community to maintain and enhance the health of the environment as the basis of a strong economy and vital society. The society received a total of $20,000, with half going to sustainable life education and the rest going towards watershed education. “The Invasive Species Council of B.C. and the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society are two great organizations that do an excellent job of protecting our environment and educating the public about environmental issues,” said Donna Barnett, MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin. “The gaming grants they are receiving this week will help them continue to provide these very beneficial programs.” These grants were awarded under the environment category of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows nonprofit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues. In addition to the

environment category, gaming grants are also awarded in the categories of sport, public safety, human and so-

cial services, arts and culture, and more. In the 2012/13 fiscal year, the B.C. government distributed a to-

tal of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services. For organizations

interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants, full application information can be found at www.pssg.

In this charming family home, which features a boat bay for those fortunate enough to own a pleasure craft, the garage entrance turns away from the street to present an awning’d window to passers-by. A covered entry leads into an L-shaped double-height foyer, with a roomy walk-in closet to the left and a den to the right, ideally placed for a home office. Opposite the open stairway is a powder room, handy for visitors and family alike. The spacious kitchen features a prep island and an L-shaped counter configuration for efficiency. The window over the sink looks out to a covered patio, accessible from the nook for easy al fresco meals. A walk-in pantry provides extra storage, and a butler’s pantry will hold items not for everyday use, such as special-occasion glasses and china. The laundry room, off the kitchen, includes a coat closet and a storage cupboard, and has access to the boat bay and double garage, with its deep-silled window. The master suite boasts a bay window overlooking the back garden, and includes a walk-in closet. Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms tucked under the gables each enjoy an en-
