Pool renovations subject of phone survey Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Williams Lake and area residents are currently being asked for their opinions on the borrowing proposal to renovate and upgrade Sam Ketcham Memorial pool in the Cariboo Memorial Complex. The telephone survey was announced in a joint press release Wednesday by the Cariboo Regional District and City of Williams Lake. Discovery Research has been hired to conduct the telephone survey of residents in the Central Cariboo Recreation service
boundary area between Jan. 23 and Jan. 30. Residents who reside within the Central Cariboo Recreation service boundary who are contacted by Discovery Research are encouraged to participate if they receive a call. The survey will be used to provide baseline information for elected officials and staff about the use and awareness of Sam Ketcham Pool and the referendum planned for Nov. 15. In the referendum, voters will be asked if they approve of borrowing up to $10 million over 20 years to renovate and upgrade the pool.
The remainder of the cost of the approximately $11.3 million project will need to be made up from grants, fundraising, and capital reserves. Proceeding with the project would result in a taxation increase for Central Cariboo Recreation services of approximately $40 per $100,000 of residential assessment, including operating costs of the expanded facility. The city and CRD have also produced a document outlining frequently asked questions about the proposal which is available at the city, CRD, and Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex offices.

Residents present alternative intersection option Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A citizens committee design concept is being forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) for feedback. Committee representatives presented the concept — featuring roundabouts, an overpass and underpass for the Toop Road and Highway 97 intersection — to city staff and council during a committee of the whole meeting Tuesday. The group had been insisting council look at an alternative traffic design for the area, and remains resolute in its opposition to both design options put forward by the MOTI and the city. “When we first came up with the idea for roundabouts we looked for an existing example within the province,” said committee spokesperson Shel Myers. Myers then shared
an example from West Kelowna. “You can see it’s the west end of the Okanagan bridge there and you’ll notice this is quite similar to the problems we’re facing,” Myers said as he showed a Google Map image of the area. “You have a fourlane highway with various limitations, egress, ingress problems, and the roundabouts work quite well in this case.” In the committee’s vision, the roundabouts would have sidewalks with access for pedestrians and bicycles and wheelchairs, Myers noted. After the presentation, council voted unanimously to receive the information and directed staff to forward the information to the MOTI and report back at the committee of the whole meeting on Feb. 4. The citizens committee also asked council to reconsider hiring an independent traffic

The committee’s latest presentation, however, will not stall
council’s direction to staff to prepare a report on Option One for the Highway upgrade to present on Feb. 4. At the Jan. 14 regular meeting council passed a motion to move forward with Option One. Before voting at the regular meeting, Mayor Ker-
ry Cook said Option One isn’t perfect, but she suggested council move forward, refer it to staff to bring a report back to council with the next steps and suggested revisions. “I think we have enough information and feedback and have narrowed it down,”

When you are trying to change your habits with a goal to be healthier in 2014, it’s best to choose one thing you want to change and work on that. That’s what “Weedless Wednesday” is all about. Quitting smoking is all about taking it “one day at a time”. If you can go one day without smoking, you are that much closer to quitting. Give it a try Jan 20-26 is National Non-Smoking Week in Canada. The word cataract comes from the Latin word cataracta which means waterfall. Cataracts of the eye is a clouding of the vision ... something like trying to see through a sheet of falling water. A cataract is not a film covering over the eye but rather a clouding of the lens within the eye. Most cataracts are age-related and fortunately relatively easy to fix through surgery.
Cook said. “I think it’s important we continue to narrow it down in one direction, recognizing that we need to make sure it’s well thought out.” Option One consists of two connections from a new signalized highway intersection at
Toop Road. “Drivers heading west will have the choice of turning onto McKinnon Road or 11th Avenue. This option essentially maintains traffic patterns as they are today, yet with modern, improved geometry that will vastly improve safety and usability,” the city said in a press release Wednesday. Through the summer and fall, two options for street connections were identified by the MOTI and were the subject of open houses held in August and October, the city said. The main difference being that Option Two added a connection to Johnson Street to the Option One concept which would have offered a more direct route to the hospital. After it receives staff’s report on Feb. 4, council will make decisions allowing the province to proceed with the four-laning project, the city noted.

Building permit values highest since 2009 Building permit values in 2013 were the highest the lakecity has seen since 2009. The City of Williams Lake’s Fourth Quarter Economic Indicators report shows building permit values of $15.4 million during the year, the highest since 2009, reports the city. The new West Fraser planer mill and Andre’s Electronics Experts were the biggest contributors to the building permit numbers. Building permit values were $8.4 million in 2012 and $13.1 million in 2011. There were 19 new single family homes constructed in the city during 2013, valued at $4.3 million, consistent with previous years.
New business licences issued were also comparable to previous years, with 75 issued and a city total of 975 licences in 2013. Unemployment has dropped since the third quarter, from 6.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent in December. Passengers through the Williams Lake Regional Airport remained consistent with previous years, with 33,790 passengers travelling in 2013. Both Tolko and West Fraser made capital investments in their lumber facilities in Williams Lake during the year as the industry continues to recover from the downturns of the last several years and adapt to timber supply challenges
and new market opportunities. The mining sector continued to be a strong contributor to the local economy with the completion of the expansion of the Gibraltar Mine and continued operation of the Mt. Polley copper/ gold mine. Both Taseko Mines and Imperial Metals continue active drilling programs at each mine site to expand mine life and economic values of the operations. Retail business development continued to be pursued by Platform Properties on the Prosperity Ridge site next to Walmart, and by the Janda Group with efforts to ink a deal to secure an anchor store in their Boitanio Mall site.
Forget the Diet Let’s Get Healthy Two sparkly women visit the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex regularly. Their bubbly presence graces the lobby as they make their way to the pool for drop in Aquafit classes. They began attending Aquafit because they love water and they were looking for a work out that is low impact and easy on their bodies, but still provides a affective workout. These ladies, both seniors, signed up together for Eating Habit Busting last September, a Recreation Services program, and have since noticed substantial changes to their lives. After the first month of the program, they joked and laughed about not losing weight, and maybe even gaining a pound, but as they laughed, they both remarked that getting around had become much easier. Previously, climbing the stairs was a struggle. Neither noticed the change in their agility until they realized they had made it to the second floor without a second thought. Since then things have continued to change. Eating Habit Busting is a program that encouraged them both to incorporate exercise that they enjoy into their daily routine. What is the point in forcing yourself through a workout that you hate? You will only come up with a million excuses to miss it. Aim for success right from the beginning, choose something you like. That is what Cecelia and Faith did, they chose Aquafit. Now, five months later, they are both still attending and, as a result, have lost weight. Eating Habit Busting addresses each person as an individual with specific needs. It is not a diet plan but addresses healthy eating without convincing participants to give up the foods they love. It is not an exercise regime but helps participants incorporate physical activity that they enjoy into their daily lives.
The city’s cooperative marketing efforts with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium continued to realize benefits of attracting more bike tourists, local expenditures and increasing market awareness of Williams Lake as a preferred mountain bike destination in Western Canada. The Williams Lake campus of Thompson Rivers University has developed programs with input from business and industry to provide training that will assist in meeting ongoing labour force requirements.

Bennett pushes for New Prosperity Mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett has been to Ottawa twice in the last two months lobbying for New Prosperity. Bennett said the trips were to make sure federal ministers have all of the information about the Taseko Mines Ltd.’s proposed New Prosperity Mine project. “I met with eight or nine ministers in total,” Bennett told the Tribune Advisor Wednesday. “I realize there was a panel process on the
Bill Bennett ground in the Cariboo, but that panel process was carried out by civil servants
and the ministers aren’t necessarily aware of the details of the project.” What’s being proposed in New Prosperity is not out of the norm, Bennett said. “It’s an open pit copper gold mine that is actually very similar to open pit copper gold mines that we already have, some of which operate in the Cariboo like Mount Polley and Gibraltar.” Bennett said the province is of the view New Prosperity could be built in an environmentally responsible way, that
tailings and water can be captured so they won’t contaminate Fish Lake, which was one of the federal review panel’s main concerns. The federal review panel’s conclusion that there is a likelihood of significant environmental impact on Fish Lake does create a problem for the federal government, he added. “I don’t fully understand why the panel landed where it did, given what’s being proposed here is not unusual in terms of the technology that would be employed and the way tailings
Alzheimer’s walk this weekend Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The first-ever Alzheimer’s walk at Williams Lake Seniors Village is coming up this weekend. According to Laurette Vike, market-

walking are seniors.” The walk takes place Sunday, Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. and already $900 has been raised. Before Christmas a silent auction, craft table and sale generated funds and people have been buying leaves
with names on them for $5 to place around the complex. People interested in making donations or participating in the walk can contact social worker Elizabeth Canjura-Jelks at 250305-3191.

and water would be captured and contained. It’s something we do quite successfully here in B.C.” While 37.5 per cent of the provincial government’s royalties received from New Prosperity would go to neighbouring First Nations, Bennett said he wanted to make it clear he recognizes and respects that First Nations are not in support of the project. “I don’t expect that position is going to change just because there is revenue sharing available. “What I believe is really important is for the province and the company to do a better job of respectful engagement with the First Nations in the area.” With some impact benefit agreements and some training opportunities for
young people in First Nations communities to work at the mine, Bennet said it’s possible, with “hard work” to develop a healthier relationship. “It’s not a guarantee but it’s possible,” he said. Bennett doesn’t plan to return to Ottawa to lobby any further, but will continue to engage electronically with his colleagues in Ottawa. “I know there’s a delegation from Williams Lake planning to go back I think next week,” he added. “I think it’s important for the Cariboo to continue to express its support for the project because certainly when you go to Ottawa what they’re most familiar with is the opposition, they are not as familiar with the overwhelming support that exists.”

NDP revival off to slow start Now we know the when. Perhaps soon we’ll learn the who. The BC NDP announced over the weekend that it will announce its new leader to succeed Adrian Dix on Sept. 28. That leader will be chosen by party members in a vote to be conducted Sept. 24-27 over the phone and online. The party’s president, Craig Keating, said he’s looking forward to an “exciting leadership election with great candidates.” Except, so far there aren’t any candidates. Great or otherwise. Three federal NDP Members of Parliament from B.C. have said they’re not interested. Peter Julian, Fin Donnelly and Nathan Cullen all bowed out even before they bowed in. Kennedy Stewart, the MP for Burnaby-Douglas, is still mulling his decision. As is Jinny Sims, the federal NDP representative from Newton-North Delta. Their reticence is understandable. As members of the official
opposition in Ottawa, they’re all strong voices for issues they and their constituents believe in. They’re members of a party that captured voters’ imaginations in the last federal election and continues to get attention countering decisions and legislation made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. B.C. politics, on the other hand, is a snake pit. Nobody knows that better than Dix, who seemed to have victory in last spring’s provincial campaign in the bag but found himself delivering a concession speech instead. Now that the date has been set for the party’s leadership vote, most observers expect candidates to begin announcing their intentions as well. And no doubt as those names are known, and those candidates start hustling for support, the always entertaining world of B.C. politics will burn with renewed energy and entertainment. - Black Press

Continuing to search for a working auto-correct Sometimes I wish there was an auto-correct function for people, or at least for me. Wouldn’t it be great to have a little pop-up that would remind me to be tactful, or confidential, or humble? I’d love a pop-up that would say, “be nice,” or “not now,” or a hundred improvements. Coca Cola was right in the old ad that promoted “… the pause that refreshes!” I crave a little hesitation that says, “Think first!” There’s something I could use a swig of! Could the app gently chide, “Are you sure?” A law that forbade the most dreadful faux-pas would fall short. And instead of an app that auto-corrects my hasty verbiage, some days I might need an entire

new operating system! But this isn’t only about words. Of course, the big stuff we do publicly usually looks OK. Very few of us would choose to lie publicly, yell at our families while at the neighbour’s, or curse during a job interview. Perhaps we can auto-correct
ourselves for a while, but the filter of character is the only guarantee we have of consistently saying good stuff. If there actually was a human auto-correct, are we assuming that someone, somewhere, knows what is right — what is normal? The auto-correct function can be so easily disabled when texting that I wonder about our boundaries. Have we just as easily redefined what is normal in speech, in privacy, or in a myriad of other areas? Has society flipped a switch, or inactivated an entire breaker? Humpty Dumpty seems to have fallen off the wall, and he’s having a hard time getting fixed. Someone needs to help us put the pieces of our society back together again, and no auto-func-
tion program is going to do it. There is no software that will robotically tell us what we should jettison, and what we should keep. My friend Rocky once electronically reorganized a 20-page paper he had written for class. When he pressed ‘OK,’ what he received in return was a painful shock. There was a half page of ‘E’s, a couple paragraphs of ‘R’s, and too many ‘N’s and ‘M’s to count. Auto-corrects are great, but they will never replace well-watered thoughts. Denny Gunderson said, “If your thoughts were a movie what would be the rating?” Meanwhile, parents who choose to be a brick wall against moral sludge are finding life ever tougher.
Return of the Jedi? No — what is needed is a return of old-fashioned character. Perhaps even the eye-rolling question mother used to ask is useful, “Is it kind, is it true, is it necessary?” Only moral fibre will screen out a parade of violence or shameless exploitation. Wholesale filters for television programs and advertisements are nothing compared to the ‘off’ button. An auto-correct function will never suffice. It remains personal — we all have filters. But no one has ever called my home for ratings. So it’s all up to me — and to you. LOL@wltribune.com. Rita Corbett is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

Old man take a look at your facts Neil Young’s anti-oilsands concert tour was the perfect distillation of the American enviroassault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a decade or more. After touring Fort McMurray in his electric car with actorturned-protester Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big propaganda hits and added his own fantasy facts. It looks like a war zone up there! Hiroshima! If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no reclamation! Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad! All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his own nuclear bomb, claiming cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30 per cent higher than, well, somewhere else. Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former community doctor John O’Connor to press the same claim. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It concluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a number of inaccurate or untruthful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after his claims made international news. Retired professor David Schindler toured with Young and continued to push the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycyclic aro-
B.C. Views

matic hydrocarbon) contamination. When you peel back the propaganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such toxins are on the rise, but are found in much higher concentrations around large cities where fuel is consumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel in 2010. This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the media seem unwilling to examine it critically. Climate scientist-turned-politician Andrew Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news conference. He says there were no questions for him, Adam or Young’s other validator, David Suzuki, who previously worked with Schindler on a slanted oilsands documentary for the CBC. Weaver calculates that Young’s claim about greenhouse gas emissions is substantially correct, if you include emissions
from the finished fuels. Weaver refused any comment on the cancer claims. Young included the obligatory sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed unaware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau support continued oilsands development. As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous electric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy expanses of closely
packed pumpjacks reaching to the horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic fracturing. Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests. Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position. Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil
isn’t the only thing being extracted here. By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue. Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause.

Chronicling life’s journey one car at a time This week my husband and I are driving a tiny car. Our truck is in the shop getting some body work after a little mishap coming home from skiing one slippery Saturday afternoon in December. Driving the little white number reminds me of the first car my husband Matthew and I owned together. It was a 1959 Volkswagen bug with silver running boards. Instead of an engagement ring, we sprang for a $1,000 car. It was a fun ride — and much faster when the prairie wind was pushing us from behind. Fast forward a few cars later, Matthew spied a green VW camper van on a lot south of Winnipeg while working one summer afternoon and decided
Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski
it would be fun to make a trade. Our three daughters loved the “Ninja Turtle” van and we had lots of fun. We camped with it and made some long trips. Admittedly, we struggled to pay the repair bills because Matthew was in school and I was staying home full-time. On a return trip to Nelson from a wedding in Winnipeg one Labour Day weekend the VW downsized itself to a threecylinder.
As we chugged onto the Kootenay Lake ferry, we hoped it would make it up the ramp when the ferry landed in Balfour and survive the hills of Nelson. It did. Barely. When our fourth child was arriving, and we were outgrowing the van’s seating capacity, we gave it to my tree-planting cousin with full disclosure he’d be spending at least $1,700 in repairs to get it running. Next we bought my brother and sister-in-law’s Astro van. It had 325,000 kilometres on it when we got it, but it ran faithfully for four years until we sold it to a family in Prince Rupert planning a trip to Tumbler Ridge. We bought a used black Mazda MPV off a friend of Mat-
thew’s from work. While we thought the Mazda was pretty cool, when we took the children for a test drive, our eldest daughter began to cry. “This van only has seven seats,” she sobbed. “Does that mean mom can’t have any more babies?” Matthew assured her that mom and a baby could always ride in a side car. We all giggled. The MPV turned out to be our lesson that it’s expensive to buy an older car with a loan. Making payments and car repair bills can be challenging. So once our bigger kids were leaving home, and I was back to work, we bought our first-ever brand new vehicle with a loan and drove it without any issues for seven years.
But when we moved to Williams Lake and started hauling firewood for the wood furnace in the house, we decided we might need a truck. Two months after arriving here we traded in the car and bought the used truck we own now. It’s great for hockey gear, skis and bikes, and we can even sleep in the back of it. Through 30 years of marriage we’ve owned 10 vehicles. Despite various peanut gallery protests over the years, we’ve only owned one at a time. At one point we joked about graduating to his and hers when our three girls and three boys were all at home, but the kids reminded us we had enough trouble affording one car, let alone two.

Seniors and youths tackle computer literacy together Claire Schreiner Special to Tribune/Advisor Computer Literacy is an important skill for everyone. Cell phones are mini computers. Many government forms are only available online. Students now write Provincial exams on computers. Facebook may be the only place to get those recent pictures of the grand children. With this in mind, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy’s PAL co-ordinator applied for and received a federal government grant to help seniors gain some working knowledge of these computer-related technologies. The New Horizons for Seniors Program partners students with

The New Horizons for Seniors program matches students with seniors. senior citizens. Students teach the seniors basic computer and cell phone use, and then record seniors’ life stories and anecdotes. The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin will house these published stories. We began re-
cruiting secondary school students and seniors in April. The students received workshops in communication skills and familiarization with our laptop computers. They met with seniors at Williams Lake
Senior’s Village in May and June. The Seniors enjoyed reminiscing and sharing events from their early lives. Many of them grew up without the amenities of running water and electricity. Even radio was very rare and usually run from a car battery. The students appreciate the differences in their lives today. In September the meetings and interviews moved to the public library which has good WiFi access for the computers and e-readers. Some of the seniors are encouraging friends to join the project to learn some computer skills and share their stories. If you are interested
The importance of financial literacy Kirsten Stark Special to Tribune/Advisor Financial Literacy is a mixture of important life skills and information that can totally change how you live your life. It covers a wide range of topics, from basic budgeting to long term financial planning. It is all about taking
control of your money and using it to help you reach your life goals. These goals are different for everyone, but the skills needed are the same. For some people it might be getting out of debt, for others it may be saving to travel, buying a house or saving to help your children to go to college. Financial Literacy

is also about knowing your rights and responsibilities, how to protect yourself as a consumer and how to deal effectively with financial problems. Learning these skills and teaching your children how to manage their own money is very important. Budgeting
to reach your life goals can help strengthen your family and reduce the stress that is caused by money worries. Financial literacy skills help increase productivity and profit in the workplace and in turn contribute to building a strong and stable community.

Massier recaps CCRHD year During the Jan. 17 Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) meeting, Chair John Massier delivered the CCRHD Year-End Address. Edited for length, the speech is included below. “2013 was a successful year for the CCRHD on a variety of different initiatives. The first request from our Foundation Partnership Grants to the GR Baker Hospital Auxiliary was approved at our February meeting to fund $21,200 (of a total project cost of $53,000) for the purchase of a portable ultrasound machine. 2013 also saw the implementation of a contract with the Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice to help support the recruitment and retention of health care professionals in both Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. The Division has matched the CCRHD funding and has taken an increasingly active role in promoting the South and Central Cariboo to their fellow physicians and other health care personnel. We are hoping to expand this initiative into the North Cariboo in 2014. Early in 2013 the Board was approached by Interior Health (IH) with a Capital Funding request to renovate the bath-

The Board approved $160,000 of a total project cost of $400,000 for this much needed improvement. In May, Interior Health requested $240,000 of a total project cost of $600,000 for the long awaited Concept Planning Stage of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) renovation. The request was unanimously approved at our June meeting and was the first positive sign of movement on this project in over two years since the CMH Master Plan was completed.

ects underway in 2013 included renovations at GR Baker Hospital to the pharmacy and sterile processing room. This $1,564,000 project is being supported with $625,000 from the CCRHD and is expected to be complete in March of 2014. Many other smaller capital improvements to our local health care facilities were funded through our Global Grants to both Interior Health and Northern Health. Financial highlights for the year included motions by the Board to take advantage of early debt repayment options to the Municipal Finance Authority in August 2013 and again in December
the next stages of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital expansion. Interior Health’s “Family Physicians for the Interior” forum was held in Williams Lake and Vice Chair Wagner is currently part of an Interior Health region wide collaboration aimed at bringing in physicians. Northern Health held two community meetings in Quesnel for the public to give input on the Master Plan for GR Baker Hospital and also held meetings in Quesnel and across the north on Health Aging and Senior’s Wellness. All in all 2013 was a positive year for the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District and the Board remains strongly committed to the wise use of taxpayers’ dollars and continual capital improvements to the healthcare facilities of our region.”

“I first read Glengarry Glen Ross when I was 20 and was captured by its complex, lighting-quick and often vitriolic dialogue,” Tollefson says. “The play showcases the extremes men can go to in a competitive environment when they become desperate. “The interactions between the characters range from poignant to shocking and are sure to keep an audience on the edge of its seat.” Be sure not to miss the show when Glengarry Glen Ross runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, and Feb. 5 to 8. Glengarry Glen Ross will be one of the Studio Theatre’s representatives at the Central Interior Zone Festival in May. This production has a strong language warning.

The Pulitzer Prizewinning and Tony Award-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross, is coming to the Williams Lake Studio Theatre stage this month. Revolving around four desperate real estate salesmen in 1980s era Chicago, Glengarry Glen Ross follows the triumphs and debacles of its characters as they drag each other through deception, betrayal, catastrophe… and a burglary. There’s nothing these real estate sharks won’t do to close a deal. Shane Tollefson is

Community forum works to build partnerships Council attended a very successful Community to Community forum with the Cariboo Regional District and the Williams Lake Indian Band last week. Under the theme “Understanding Conflicts and Realizing Opportunities,” we had collaborative discussion on our respective roles as governments, and how to turn opportunities for conflict into opportunities for potential partnerships. This was an excellent way to begin the new year as we work together to enhance relationships and work for the people of the Williams Lake area.
From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook
Many thanks to Williams Lake Indian Band for showing strong leadership in facilitating this discussion; we look forward to establishing a working group as we move forward. *** The RCMP has reported the crime statistics for 2013, and we continue to see the numbers drop. All categories of crime have dropped since both 2008 and 2012, with the exception of auto thefts, which rose to 124
in 2013 from 100 in 2012. This is still a dramatic reduction from 2008, when nearly 300 cars were stolen in Williams Lake. Overall, property crime has fallen 34 per cent since 2012. It is heartening to see that spousal assault cases have dropped 22 per cent from last year, which is a significant improvement. The RCMP is spearheading a new project to assist both victims and perpetrators which will soon be implemented province-wide. Inspector Warren Brown, Safer Community Co-ordinator Dave Dickson, the
RCMP members and staff, and all of the Community Policing volunteers continue to do an excellent job of enhancing safety and reducing crime. There is still much work to be done to help reduce crime in our community, and I am excited to have an opportunity to participate in the upcoming Province’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Reduction coming up on Jan. 30. *** This week, I attended a lunch with Minister of Justice and Attorney General Suzanne Anton. Also in attendance were MLA Donna Barnett, Chief Ann

Louie, Dave Dickson, and RCMP members from Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, and Alexis Creek. We had a good discussion on community safety and using community resources to address crime. *** I was recently reminded of how fortunate we are as a community to have our hospital facility. I had a recent trip to emergency with my daughter (note— all ok) and was impressed with the professional, helpful and efficient treatment we received. Thank you!

the Williams Lake Indian Band for bringing us together,” CRD Chair Al Richmond said. “This event was just the beginning and we look forward to continuing to build our communities together,” Richmond said. The three-and-ahalf hour forum was part of a Community to Community forum sponsored by the province. The focus of the meeting was to improve communications between all three organizations
and look for other opportunities to work together. “This was an excellent day and hopefully the beginning of meaningful collaboration between these three governments,” Chief Ann Louie said. “We need to work together with mutual respect for the betterment of all our communities and the entire region. Once we establish the working group envisioned by this Community to Community Forum, the real work can begin.”
The group will begin meeting within the next 30 days with a mandate to identify areas of mutual interest and potential shared services which could be addressed collectively to benefit all residents of the region. “The City of Williams Lake places a very high value on partnerships, and this working group involving our neighbouring governments is an excellent example of working together,” Mayor Kerry Cook said.

Transition Town discusses Hooked on Growth Richard Case Special to Tribune/Advisor Hooked on Growth, a film from Growthbusters is next up on the Transition Town Group’s discussion night schedule. The 54 minute film Hooked on Growth is the quintessential David versus Goliath story, starring modernday filmmaker David
(yes, his real name) Gardner in his autobiographical crusade against industrial civilization’s prevailing and largely unquestioned myth that growth is good, whether it’s populations or economies. As he points out, infinite growth ultimately doesn’t work on a finite planet. Things run out. Bucking the tide, our crusader runs for city
council in his hometown of Colorado Springs, pointing out to his constituency how continuing development and resourceuse actually ends up costing the city more than the increase in revenues. The film is thoroughly sprinkled with experts from the likes of Paul Ehrlich (The Population Bomb),
Bill McKibben (The End of Nature), Bill Rees (inventor of the Ecological Footprint), Chris Martenson (The Crash Course), and many more. Outrageous humour is used to show that the growth imperative needs to be stopped and that in fact, it will be stopped — either voluntarily, or when planetary limits slam humans against
the wall, as happens with any population that overshoots its environmental base. Hooked on Growth
Film night Monday at Scout Island The film MuskwaKechika: B.C.’s Working Wilderness will be shown at the Scout Island Nature House on Monday, Jan. 27 starting at 7:30 p.m. The magnificent
Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northern British Columbia includes Parks and Protected Areas where resource extraction is prohibited, and management
zones where resource extraction may occur. We will present a half-hour DVD describing this unique approach to natural resource management in B.C.
Afterwards, Cathy Koot will share a few slides from a trip she took with fellow naturalists to some of the very sites shown in the film.

The Williams Lake Film Club screens the Quebec film Gabrielle at the Gibraltar Room Tuesday. Gabrielle is played by Gabrielle MarionRivard. they are “different,” developmentally disabled, their loved ones are fearful of their relationship. Questions arise, i.e. has Gabrielle been sterilized? The choir where Gabrielle and Martin sing
is part of a real performance arts school for people with disabilities, Les Muses. Many of the students and teachers play themselves in the film. Les Muses is also taking part in a huge
choir event held annually in Montréal. This year Gabrielle’s class is practicing for a summer performance with the legendary Québecois singersongwriter Robert Charlebois. What a treat that is,
gling with their lives. It is especially refreshing to see the connection between Gabrielle and her sister, who goes through all the emotions - love for her often difficult sister, frustration, and guilt. It is so honest, neither sentimental nor subtle, definitely not always politically correct. Writer-director Louise Archambault has done a remarkable piece of work. See you Tuesday, January 28, at the Gibraltar Room. I am sure you will love meeting Gabrielle. Admission is $9 regular, $8 for Film Club members, and $6 for seniors (65+) and students, HS and TRU.

Final Elder College registration Jan. 29 Judy Jenkins Special to Tribune/Advisor Elder College members turned out in record numbers to register for classes earlier this week. A majority of the courses offered for spring were filled to the brim Tuesday afternoon at St. Andrew’s Church and spilled over onto wait-
ing lists, while only six of the regular courses have spots left. Two of the four Community Service Courses have openings. “This was the biggest sign-up we’ve ever had,” spokesman Barry Sale said. There were 266 registrations in regular courses, and another 85 in the Community
courses. The last registration for the spring semester will be 1:30 to 2:30 Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Seniors Activity Centre. No registrations will be accepted after that date. Registrations came from 133 renewing memberships and 51 new members, according to Membership Chair Margaret Men-
zies. Spaces are available in Home Staging, More Computers— Beyond the Next Steps, Furniture Refinishing, Guitar Workshop, Beginners Spanish and Google Earth Seminar, Scams & Schemes— What Every Elder Should Know also has a few spaces left, as does the Mature Drivers Workshop.
“We’d like to thank all those who showed up for their support as well as all the volunteers and look forward to a great semester,” Sale said. Most courses cost around $30 or less. The Community Service classes are free to everyone, even those who are under the 50-year mark, but registration is still required.

These imbalances can come about quite easily; for example, the way you sit or the way you hold your phone can cause an imbalance. If the imbalance is corrected, the aches and pains go away. Bodyworkz is a method of balancing the body by using techniques from modalities such as trigger point therapy, Zen shiatsu massage, and deep tissue massage.

Members of the Williams Lake Skating Club will be on the ice this weekend at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex as they play host to clubs from around the region for the Cariboo North Central Regional Skating Competition Jan. 25-26.
Skaters prepare to host CNC Regionals Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Skating Club will host the Cariboo North Central Regional Skating Competition Jan. 25-26 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for the first time in the event’s existence. The WLSC will have 12 skaters competing in the event: Amanda Lane, Dawn Henley, Alanna Walters, Nathalie Sylvain, Jade Johnston, Emma Penner, Ryanne Jones, Jessabelle Atkinson-Trelenberg, Annaliese Hunter-Owega, Georgia Jacobson, Kailey Champagne and Rebecca Fraser. WLSC coach Joanne Macnair said it’s exciting to host the event in Williams Lake for the first time, and added she hopes everything goes smoothly for her skaters, who will be competing among members of clubs from Kitimat, to as far north as Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. “I’m just hoping for great skates from everyone,” Macnair. “It’s our home competition so it’d be good to have clean skates.” Johnston, 14 — a member of the WLSC for the past six years —
will be performing a solo routine in the Star 5 division. “Really hoping to land my double salchow,” Johnston said. “It’s my hardest skill, two rotations, so it can be tough.” For four of the club’s skaters — Hunter-Owega, Atkinson-Trelenberg, Ryanne Jones and Emma Penner — the CNC regionals will be their first competition. Another one of the club’s skaters, Henley, has been invited to compete at the B.C. Winter Games. Prior to the CNC Regionals being hosted in Williams Lake the club had annually held the Cariboots ‘n’ Blades figure skating competition, which will not run again this year. “Before, skaters could come from 100 Mile House, from Vernon, from wherever,” Macnair said. “This is more, you’re trying to be the regional champion.” Skating begins Saturday at 8 a.m. on both rinks one and two at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex and stretches throughout the day until 8 p.m. Sunday starts at 8 a.m. with the final event of the competition scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. Henley, Lane, Walters, John-

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer If you’re new to hunting make sure you possess the knowledge and skills to be a safe and ethical hunter. That’s the message from Barry and Judy Jenkins, both committee members of the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association (WLSA), who will be hosting a Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) program beginning next Tuesday, Jan. 28, and running every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 10 p.m. for four weeks at the WLSA clubhouse on Bond Lake Road. CORE is designed for individuals wishing to obtain their first B.C. resident hunting license and is offered through the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCFW). That said, anyone up until the age of 14 is still allowed to hunt under the licence of a parent or guardian 18 years or older. “It’s a bit confusing to some people,” Barry said. “Any youngster 10 years and older can take CORE and if they pass then they get their own B.C. hunting licence number and their own big game tags, their own hunting limit and everything else. After the age of 14 they must have CORE to hunt at all. “In any case no one can hunt alone until they’re 18 years or older — that includes with a bow, not just a firearm.” CORE focuses on seven areas of study: firearms, bird identification, animal identification, habitat identification, hunter ethics, regulations and survival and first aid.

Williams Lake Stampeders begin playoff push Saturday The stage is set for the first round of the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs. The Williams Lake Stampeders, who wrapped up its 18-game regular season Jan. 11 in first place in the CIHL, will meet the Lac La Hache Tomahawks in a best-of-three series. Game one of the series goes this Saturday, Jan. 25, at 7:30 p.m. at Lac La Hache’s Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena.

REALTOR TIPS BUILDING OR RENOVATING YOUR HOME WITH WOMEN IN MIND! • Design kitchens with an open concept, generally guests & family like to visit while the chef cooks • Purchase sleek, coordinated appliances • Kitchens should have build-in organization in the form of pull out shelves, revolving shelves and drawer organizers • In bathrooms, if room permits, have the tub and shower stall separate, allowing for built-in shelves around the tub for towels, candles or decorations • A modern bathroom should have numerous shelves /and or drawers for storage • Hardwood and tile flooring are easier to keep clean in high traffic areas than carpet • Built-in vacuum cleaner is big convenience, making sure there are several outlets around the house for access • Storage! There never seems to be enough storage. A good bedroom closet should have multiple shelves, built-in dresser drawers, and sections for full-length dresses to hang • Mirrored doors on bedroom closets for a fulllength mirror Women bring some unique requirements and preferences which add to the ambiance, user convenience and even the resale of value of homes.

Resolve to be Waste Wise
With the beginning of a new year, many of us make resolutions to exercise more, be healthier, spend less money, spend more time with loved ones or just make life less hectic. But have you thought about resolving to become waste wise? Each month this year the CRD will provide information and tips that will increase your awareness of our waste systems, and give you the opportunity to reduce your impact on the environment. Perhaps April’s topic of Food Waste will help with your resolution to spend less money, or March’s tips on how to start a backyard composter will give you a project to do with your family. Or maybe if you live in Williams Lake you’ll decide to walk your compost down to the Potato House composing site and help you to exercise more. February’s topic of Extender Producer Responsibility will help to inform you on how to keep waste like batteries, paint, electronics, tires and more out of the landfill, which will help to keep the environment healthy, and you as well. December’s topic of Create Memories, Not Garbage will give you time with your loved ones and help to reduce the hectic feeling that often accompanies the Holidays. Waste wise education is delivered to students in the CRD, but the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better. Please join us this year to become waste wise and make a difference.

Williams Lake Yellow runner up at home tourney Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake Yellow finished as the runner-up over the weekend at the Williams Lake Midget House Tournament, falling to a tough visiting Smithers squad in the
final. Smithers, representing one of two house teams from the city, chewed through the entire tournament without allowing a single goal. The best result facing the team came from Williams Lake Yellow in the final, a 6-0
effort, which was also matched earlier in the tournament by Williams Lake Grey. Tournament co-ordinator Jessica Larson said six local teams, plus Smithers, Abbotsford, two Prince George teams and two Quesnel teams made up the 12-
team tournament, which began Friday evening and wrapped up Sunday. Twenty-four games were played, and most were close matches with the exception of those played against Smithers and Abbotsford, where both teams were very
strong. Heading into Sunday’s final Williams Lake Yellow had won all three of its round-robin games beating Williams Lake Orange, 4-1, Quesnel Red, 4-2, and Prince George Blue, 3-2. Gord Sterritt, co-coach of Wil-

liams Lake Yellow, said his players put forth a great effort throughout the weekend. “The kids played awesome,” Sterritt said. “They played as a team, they worked well together and some of the games they were in tough, but
they battled back. Even this last game against Smithers the kids played hard.” In the bronze-medal match Abbotsford defeated Williams Lake Teal, 6-0. Williams Lake Grey placed sixth after falling to Quesnel Black, 6-2.

MONEY MATTERS Can I write it off? You have probably heard the urban legend of “writing off” everyday expenses on your tax return. You may feel like you are missing out on deductions but, in reality, these write offs are usually a myth. For example, the tax court ruled that haircut expenses cannot be deducted against employment income, even if your job requires you to get one every two weeks. Office clothing, dry cleaning and commuting costs like parking and gas are considered personal expenses. Basically, if you are an employee with a regular paycheque, there are only a few circumstances in which you can claim expenses on your tax return. Thankfully, there is a little relief for regular working Canadians. The Canada Employment Amount will help with some of expenses related
to employment. If you were employed at any time in 2013 – even if it was just a summer job – you are entitled to claim the credit. The maximum amount for 2013 is $1,117, which means about $168 in tax savings. The Canada Revenue
Agency does allow you to claim auto expenses, business travel, meals and lodging, supplies and home work space expenses, under certain conditions. However, to be eligible, your
employment contract must require you to pay for the expenses. And you need to have a Form T2200 Declaration of Conditions of Employment signed and certified by your employer. In the case of auto and travel expenses, you must
be required to do your job outside of the office or in different locations. To be eligible for the claim, make sure you did not receive a non-taxable travel allowance from your employer. If you
want to claim meals, you have to be out of town for at least 12 hours and are limited to 50 percent of the overall bill. In order to claim home work space expenses, you must meet one of two conditions. Either the work space must be the place where you principally perform your job, or you must use the space exclusively on an ongoing basis for meeting customers or other people for your job. If you do qualify, expenses you can claim include a reasonable percentage of your rent, utilities and home repairs and maintenance. Calculations are based on the total square-footage of your home and must be prorated according to the percentage used for business purposes. If the works space is not used exclusively for employment purposes, it must be further prorated based on the amount of
time it is used for personal use. So it would be hard to justify an addition of a new bedroom in your home maintenance costs. Working on commission may allow you to deduct more expenses. Salespeople can claim advertising and promotion expenses, as well as 50 per cent of client entertainment. They can also claim a reasonable percentage of insurance and property taxes as home work space expenses in addition to the utilities, rent and maintenance allowed to other employees. However, only selfemployed taxpayers may claim mortgage interest. Although sales people can deduct more expenses than other employees, there are still restrictions. As a sales employee, expenses cannot exceed your total commissions, plus any auto capital cost allowance and
Self-employed? It could be taxing mortgage principal. While office supplies like paper and staples are fully deductible, bigger items such as computers and office furniture must be depreciated over a number of years according to the Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) rules. Remember, you can only deduct half the annual rate in the first year. So if you purchased furniture (for which the rate is 20 per cent) for $1,000, you would only be able to deduct $100 against your business income in the first year. In the second year, you can deduct 20 per cent of the balance remaining, or $180 (calculated as $900 x 20 per cent). Entrepreneurs who need a car are allowed to claim the portion of the expenses that relate to the business. This includes gas, maintenance, auto club membership, license fees and insurance. It is important to document vehicle use for both personal and business travel, so invest in a log book or record system to
keep track. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) may deny your claim or reduce it if you cannot document your business travel. The CRA recently announced it will accept a logbook for a sample three-month period as evidence of a full year’s usage of a vehicle. However, there are strings attached. In particular, you must have previously maintained a logbook for a full 12-month period that was typical for your business. As well, the distances travelled and the business-use of the vehicle for the three-month sample period must be within 10 percentage points of the corresponding figures for the same three-month period in the base year. Lastly, the annual business use of the vehicle does not go up or down by more than 10 percentage points in comparison to the base year. A Porsche or Hummer may be the right vehicle for your business image.
However, there are limitations on how much you can claim for luxury vehicles. The ceiling on CCA claims for 2013 is $30,000 plus GST and PST. And if you want to lease, the ceiling is $800 per month plus GST and PST. Insurance and health benefits are another concern for selfemployed people. If you opt to pay for a private health service plan, you may be able to deduct the premiums as a business expense. To qualify, either your selfemployment income must be 50 per cent of your total income or your income from other sources must be $10,000 or less.
Self-employed people do have a little bit longer to file a tax return – until June 16, 2014, since June 15 falls on a Sunday. However, if you owe the government money and file after April 30, they start adding interest after the due date. So, it may be worthwhile to sort through your receipts and get your tax obligations figured out to avoid the interest charges.

If 2013 was the year you decided to start your own business, you are not alone. Statistics Canada estimated there were a little fewer than 2.7 million selfemployed Canadians in 2012. With more Canadians becoming their own boss, there are a number of tax implications that need to be considered. You have probably already realized that your T4 is not coming in the mail, and you need to sort through your invoices and receipts. Working from home means an easy commute in the morning and, since it is your principal place of business, you may be able to claim some of your home expenses. Depending on the amount of space you use for business and/or client meetings, you can claim a prorated portion of your utility payments, property taxes, mortgage interest and maintenance costs. It is important to remember, only mortgage interest is deductible – not your
interest claimed. If your commissions are low, it may be better to only claim regular employment expenses, since they are not subject to these restrictions. So the answer to the question ‘Can I write it off as an employment expense?’ is usually no. The Income Tax Act is very specific about what employees can deduct on their taxes. If you do qualify for any of the deductions, make
