A proposal to increase fees and change policy for community use of school facilities in School District 27 is gaining public opposition by user groups.

On Feb. 5, the board launched an online survey asking for public comment on its proposed changes.

“We have had over 80 people respond to our survey and we expect to receive more before the end of the consultation period,” superintendent Mark Thiessen said Thursday.

“It’s good. Our board should have lots of information to consider before passing the policy.”

At its regular meeting Tuesday, city council weighed in and requested staff to write the school board a formal letter asking for an extension to the consultation period beyond Feb. 17.

“I would like to ensure we get as much public response,” Coun. Geoff Bourdon said.

“There are some community groups that have the feeling these will be make or break levels.”

Coun. Laurie Walters warned the policy change will have serious implications on the community.

“We all know what budgets are like,” Walters said.

“School District 27 is under pressure right now with the changes they have to make with their budget, I get that, but I think we need to stand up and give this the attention that it really deserves.”

City council also plans to discuss the policy at its Feb. 18 committee of the whole meeting.

Thiessen said the board will be able to discuss the city’s request at its Feb. 25 board meeting.

“Our board endorsed a philosophy of cost recovery for our community groups and staff has designed a draft policy to reflect that,” he said.

“Now it will be up to the board to decide if that’s the policy they want to enact.”

Expecting reaction from the public on the proposed policy changes, the board went out of its way to get feedback, Thiessen said.

“Lots of our policies pass pretty quietly, and we could have done that, but we actually sent letters to all our community groups to make sure they were aware of possible changes.”

The board estimated it is subsidizing community groups to the tune of $15,000 a month.

PARENTS: Be aware

Drinking games happening here in lakecity Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Drinking games have long been part of the teen and young adult culture but now a new breed of drinking game played on the Internet is claiming young lives.

People may have seen stories on television in recent days talking about teenagers dying of alcohol poisoning while playing the In-

ternet drinking game called Neknominate or Neknomination.

People may think this game — which requires participants to perform various stunts while intoxicated, then post the results online before nominating friends to continue — is played in big cities or some other land, but think again.

In recent days there have been rumblings that students right here

in Williams Lake are taking the dangerous drinking challenges that could end their lives prematurely.

Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen confirms that over the past couple of days he has been made aware that some School District 27 students may be involved in the online drinking game.

But he also points out there is no evidence

Signs of alcohol poisoning According to the definition given by the Mayo Clinic alcohol poisoning is a serious — and sometimes deadly — consequence of drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time.

Drinking too much too quickly can affect your breathing, heart rate, body temperature and gag reflex and potentially lead to coma and death.

Alcohol poisoning can also occur when

adults or children accidentally or intentionally drink household products that contain alcohol.

A person with alcohol poisoning needs immediate medical attention. If you suspect someone has alcohol poisoning, call for emergency medical help right away (911).

Alcohol poisoning signs and symptoms include: confusion; vomiting; seizures; slow breathing (less

“As this is new information for us, there has not been a specific district strategy put in place to discuss this with students, but I am sure that individual secondary school teachers are likely having conversations with their students.

“I would also encourage parents to caution their kids that by participating in such a game, young people are

placing themselves in possible physical danger.”

On top of the possible physical harm, Thiessen notes that these stunts are usually uploaded to the Internet which could pose problems for students in the future when it comes to getting jobs or higher education.

“This could mean that these young people may ultimately impact

scholarship and university applications as well as future employment opportunities,” Thiessen says. “There may be huge life-altering consequences for a momentary lack of judgment.”

It should be noted that Tribune/Weekend Advisor staff members have observed at least a dozen local students participating in the game on Facebook.

of this type of activity happening in school time or on school property.

However, as an educator he is concerned that parents are aware of the game and will caution their children about its potentially harmful results.

“As educators, we are obviously concerned about the health and safety of our students,” Thiessen says.

Many factors affect how drugs work in our body. These include age, liver and kidney function, genetics and reactions with enzymes in the body that affect drug metabolism. We’ve learned much in recent years about the effects of enzymes on drug action allowing new drugs to be more efficient at lower doses and with fewer side effects.

One pound of body fat contains 3500 calories. If you reduce the number of calories you eat and drink each day by 500 calories, you’ll lose two pounds in a month.

Combine that with walking a half hour per day and you are well on your way to your desired weight. With all the weight-loss ideas all around us, this is the simplest: expend more calories than you take in. It works!

Pharmacists are often asked about non-prescription products to help sleep. Melatonin may help. Start with 0.5 to lmg an hour before bedtime. Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in our brains but the amount we produce can drop with age. Give melatonin a try.

We are familiar with the various remedies people take to help them sleep better. We’d be happy to discuss them with you.

Face to face meetings appreciated Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Nothing beats a face-to-face meeting, Mayor Kerry Cook said of her recent trip to Ottawa with a delegation promoting the New Prosperity Mine Project.

“I was able to represent the community and outline the social and economic impact with regards to New Prosperity Mine and the importance of that project,” Cook said Tuesday at city hall.

Last week Cook, along with Cariboo business people, Chambers of Commerce representatives, MLA Donna Barnett and former chief Ervin Charleyboy went to Ottawa and attended a “full slate” of meetings organized by MPs Dick Harris and Cathy McLeod.

“We started early in the morning meeting with the B.C. caucus and had an opportunity to share and talk about the project,” Cook said.

Delegates met with the parliamentary secretaries of the Minister of Environment and Minister of Employment and Social Development.

Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll echoed Cook, saying the trip to Ottawa enabled the group to get its point across.

“We wanted to have the other side of the argument heard, that there is a lot of silent support for the mine,” Ryll explained.

“The silent supporters are the businesses

in town, the residents who are living here and looking for more opportunities and economic development.”

Additionally the delegation met with the representatives of the Canadian of Chamber of Commerce, including president and CEO Perrin Beatty.

“Obviously we made the business case for the reason the mine should go ahead,” Ryll said.

“They were very receptive, they were very eager to hear what’s going on with our chamber members and the business community in general that are very supportive of seeing responsible economic development happen.”

District Chamber of commerce received a copy of a letter Beatty wrote to Minister of Environment Leona Agulkkaq about his meeting with the delegation.

“In the letter he tells the minister since the members of the delegation couldn’t meet with her, he wanted to make sure their views are provided on the importance of the project,” WLDC exec-

utive director Claudia Blair said Wednesday.

“Beatty said the business leaders he met with are concerned that the process suffered from widespread misinformation on the benefits and costs of the project are going to cost the project,” Blair said.

Ryll also said everyone in the delegation paid for the trip out of their own pockets to go to Ottawa.

Government provoked teacher strike: negotiator Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government’s negotiator admitted in court his strategy in 2012 negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was to provoke a fullscale strike.

NDP critics launched their return to the B.C. legislature Wednesday with questions about a transcript from the most recent BCTF court challenge over control of class size and support staff.

It shows government negotiator Paul Straszak said provoking a full-scale strike was designed to move the union from its months-

long ban on extra-curricular activities that started in the fall of 2011.

Asked by the BCTF lawyer if the strategy was to close schools with a full-scale walkout, which had been authorized by the Labour Relations Board to last up to a week, Straszak replied “I’ll say yes.”

Straszak described his briefing for John Dyble, Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister, before a cabinet meeting.

“So what we’re talking about here is cabinet is going to be in an awkward situation in the context of a low scale strike, meaning it’s going to want to

put an end to it but the public won’t necessarily see the need for the legislation because the kids are still in school,” Straszak told the court.

Straszak said the teachers’ work-to-rule action “was having a really significant impact on education” and the increase in pressure was part of the “political dynamic” of the long-running dispute.

In the legislature Wednesday, NDP leader Adrian Dix called on Clark to explain the strategy and release cabinet documents that were tabled in court but not made public.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton said

the Jan. 27 decision of B.C. Supreme Court is being appealed, and refused to comment further.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said the premier and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have commented publicly on the decision in media interviews, and in letters sent to all teachers.

In her ruling, Justice Susan Griffin concluded that the B.C. government did not bargain in good faith with the BCTF. She struck down legislation restricting teacher bargaining of classroom conditions and imposed a $2 million penalty on the government.

Visit Prague at library presentation tonight with Chris Harris Chris Harris and Rita Giesbrecht will be making a photographic presentation on their recent trip to Prague at the Williams Lake Library today, Feb. 14 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Harris and Giesbrecht visited Prague during the carnival season.

Harris is a renowned local photographer

who has published several books of photography of the Cariboo Chilcotin including Flyover: British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: an aviation legacy (2012) and Motherstone: British Columbia’s volcanic plateau (2010).

The couple wanted a unique trip experience; something completely

different than their usual travel as wilderness photographers and back-country trekkers.

“Along with the artistic richness of Old World Europe, Prague overwhelms the senses as one of the most intact and protected cities architecturally and physically,” Harris says.

“Having survived destruction and razing by invading armies from the beginnings of human history, through the glory days of the Roman Empire and the Hapsburg regime, Prague is a glorious feast of rare Gothic, Baroque, and every other kind of building right up to its most recent history

The evening will include a slideshow presentation, with commentary from Harris and Giesbrecht as well

as a Question and Answer segment.

Every day should be Valentine’s Day There is no doubt Valentine’s Day has taken on a whole new meaning since the days of Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare and John Donne.

Valentines, cards professing love, first appeared in the late 1700s, and it has been downhill ever since, all too often leaving a young lad, and older lads too, bamboozled and bewildered.

Valentines were soon followed by flowers, chocolate and, of course, diamonds.

Valentine’s Day dinners, dances and cruises are all part of the scene now.

What happened to the value of the most honest gestures of affection: a smile, a hug, a kiss and time?

Have they been devalued to the point that unless accompa-

nied by a trinket they are meaningless?

Why must the depth of love or affection be measured by the value of a gift, or the expression of love be limited to a single day?

Yes, life can be busy, but smiles, hugs and kisses are free and require just a few moments and say much more than any Valentines.

Many will be spending their first Valentine’s Day following the passing of a loved one.

It is unlikely any of them are wishing they could receive one more Valentine’s Day gift, but rather they likely would all give anything to have one more smile, hug and kiss.

Every day should be Valentine’s Day. - Black Press

Looking north from the Rudy Johnson Bridge Sunday afternoon, the ice banks along the Fraser River in pristine formation.

Batten down the well covers, the Californians are coming So often in life, events or circumstances impart a feeling of déjà vu, a sense of having come full-circle, of stepping back in time to the start-point.

Perhaps, then, it would not overly challenge the imagination of the average British Columbian were they informed that another batch of adventurers will soon be on the way, these Californians also looking north in search of lifestyle-security.

The history of cattle ranching

the

weekend

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan in B.C. began in the mid-1850s as the more astute and farsighted of those on the gold-trail from California to the B.C.goldfields quickly realized that there was pressing need for reli-

able food supply. That establishing pack trains, stopping houses, hotels, restaurants and the ilk to cater to those needs was an easier, more attainable road to riches than was the process of gold mining.

Many of those ranches remain, some still holdings of descendants of the original founder; surviving in spite of periods in history that severely tested endurance. The 160-plus yearB.C. cattle industry has maintained its existence by stubborn

refusal to quit. The end result, a tangible asset, not a bad investment for a wandering fortune hunter.

Now, believe it or not, climate experts are forecasting a similar rush northward, predicting the flight of droves of Californians.

“The dust-bowl in reverse,” ponders Pete McMartin (Vancouver Sun), “with millions of people fleeing from California rather than to it.”

Why? Quite simply, California is running out of water;

their supply of that precious liquid gold dwindles daily and is almost gone. In more than 17 rural California counties, the well will purport to be bone dry three months-hence.

So keep an eye out and batten down the well covers, for you may look out into your cowpasture one morning in March and spot a tent-city full of squatters who have come north in the quest for liquid-gold.

Prescription pot pretense ending On April 1, medical marijuana growing licences expire across the country, and only licensed commercial growers will be able to legally fill a prescription for pot.

Ottawa is moving to clean up the mess it created by issuing medical licences all over the country.

Since then, municipalities have complained that smallscale medical licences have been greatly exceeded, with many used as fronts for a criminal drug trade that has made B.C. infamous around the world.

How big is the problem?

There are about 38,000 Canadians licensed to carry marijuana for medical purposes, and half of them live in B.C. Their permission to grow their own or buy it from designated small-scale growers is withdrawn in a couple of months.

Here’s a look at the community level. Police in the Fraser Valley suburb of Maple Ridge estimate that it alone has 500 properties licensed to grow pot.

No, Maple Ridge is not a world hotspot for glaucoma or arthritis.

It is historically known for its secluded properties and as a base for B.C.’s prison system and the province’s Hells Angels.

Police have only an estimate because Ottawa’s bungled medical pot scheme conceals the location of licensed growers from provincial and local governments.

RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel told Maple Ridge council last week that his detachment

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

will first target medical growers they know are linked to organized crime.

But it’s difficult to determine which are legal and which are not.

“This has the potential to cripple the courts,” Fleugel said.

“Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them.”

The police and fire department have proposed an amnesty or grace period, allowing people to disclose their location and have it properly dismantled without penalty, to help deal with the volume.

This mess was created by Ottawa in response to a court ruling that forced them to make medical pot available.

The Harper government remains trapped in a failed waron-drugs mentality that prevents any innovation or even common sense.

Then there is the circus in Vancouver, where self-styled princes of pot exploit the confusion of the medical marijuana law to run an Amsterdam-

style retail trade.

Cannabis Culture, the pot and propaganda empire built

by Marc Emery before he was jailed in the U.S., rants about the government’s “war on patients,” amid garish ads for “pot by post” and exotic weed varieties.

“By Health Canada’s own estimate, the cost will increase from $5 per gram to $8.80 per gram — going up by nearly 400 per cent,” its website warns.

Apparently smoking lots of weed really is bad for your math skills.

Dana Larsen, who spearheaded the ill-conceived and

failed decriminalization petition last year, heads up the serious-looking “Medical Cannabis Dispensary.”

It has done so well at its location in the drug bazaar of East Hastings Street that it’s got a branch office on Vancouver’s west side.

Its official-looking forms have a long list of conditions where only a confirmation of diagnosis is required.

In addition to genuine conditions such as side effects of chemotherapy, it includes anxiety, psoriasis, spinal cord injury and even “substance addictions/ withdrawal.”

And did you know you can get a vet’s note to buy medical pot for your pet?

Larsen has boasted about the exotic offerings of his stores, including “watermelon hash oil” at $150 for 2.5 grams.

Wow man, that’s like 400 million per cent higher!

Fittingly, this farce goes back underground on April Fool’s Day. Medical users can only order shipments from an approved commercial producer.

Harris noted in his member’s statement in the House of Commons on Wednesday.

Thank you to Dick and Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod for their support

while we were in the capital. The minister’s decision is expected before March 1.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Ms. Lahaise’s Grade 4/5 students this week at Nesika Elementary about government.

I always enjoy speaking to students, who are enthusiastic and ask really great questions. I always leave the school confident that these students mean we have a bright future in Williams Lake.

Council has made its final decision about the Highway 97

four-laning project.

We have asked staff to inform the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to proceed with Option 1 for connections from the highway to city streets.

This includes a number of refinements, including a new bike path and new sidewalks.

This has been a long and thorough process, and council is grateful for all of the passionate feedback from the community about the project.

I’ve heard lots of positive response from the Timber Kings

series on HGTV, featuring our very own Pioneer Log Homes expert craftsmen.

I’ve been enjoying the show myself. Make sure you tune in!

Our hometown hockey hero Carey Price was in net Thursday to help Canada win its first game at the Olympics, with a 3-1 win over Norway.

Way to go Carey!

Contest encourages music students Winners in a three month contest among guitar music students are now the proud owners of new guitars and other musical equipment.

The contest was hosted by guitar/music teacher Herb Pannekoek and the Guitar Seller which provided most of the prizes.

Pannekoek has been teaching music for 44 years and ran the contest for three months from November to the end of January.

“The purpose of the contest was to increase musical knowledge, giving students a goal to achieve,” Pannekoek says.

“All students entered the contest, at no charge, and had an equal opportunity to win. Every assignment they received during their music lessons became part of the contest.”

He says the students received a point for every “A” they received in passing a song.

There was also a written exam on musical theory worth 10 points for 10 questions.

“If the students got the answers right they received a bonus five points for the test for a total of 15 points,” Pannekoek says.

A total of 46 students participated in the contest.

The student with the most points at the end of the three month period was the winner.

He says there were two parts to the contest.

The first part with H&F Music was conducted in his home studio with first, second and third prize winners. The second part was

The case for responsible mining Editor: A few of us who would like to see some development in our area and give a little hope to our younger generation who might like to live, work and play in the Cariboo just got back from Ottawa where we attempted to educate the decision makers on the benefits of the New Prosperity Mine.

I think our meetings

were very productive and necessary.

Why I say that is the following.

As many know the Chamber commissioned the expertise of Dr. John Meech, an engineering professor from UBC to advise us and make sure we had unbiased information on the merits of the project.

After determining that Taseko had filed a judicial review on some

of the findings and information the panel presented to government that were incorrect, I contacted Dr. Meech and asked him to review the information and give me a response with respect to the information or misinformation presented

by Natural Resource Canada.

Here are his comments.

“I think a complaint needs to be made to the

Let’s go to work on mine Editor: Recently I was in Ottawa lobbying support for the New Prosperity Mine project. Upon my return, I read in many publications that our group was possibly funded by outside sources.

In the same publications we were also called ignorant. I can’t believe that a newspaper or online publication would print such dribble without first fact checking.

I would like to set the record straight.

Not only did each in-

dividual pay their own way, some of us used this time against our holiday time.

Also, instead of calling us ignorant, it would have been far more productive to invite us to meet and discuss options and solutions.

Our group would be more than happy to accommodate such an idea.

But no, it was far easier to throw out insults.

This is a big opportunity for our community. We should be rejoicing and parad-

ing up and down the streets celebrating an economic future and jobs.

Let’s re-open some schools, let’s keep our community together and at home.

This project is needed and we should embrace the opportunity presented to us.

Let’s go to work.

Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia that Dr. Debarats prepared an engineering model of seepage rates from Tailings Storage Dams supposedly able to predict the direction and quantities of seepage flows and applied it incorrectly to the New Prosperity site.

“He claimed to have included a liner in his model. On closer study, it is apparent that his “liner” bears no resemblance to the liner design put forward to the panel by Taseko.

“This difference resulted in a calculated seepage rate 11 times that which the mine will achieve through its design and its on-going adaptive management program. This is either negligent or represents incompetency.

“This error resulted in the panel concluding that Fish Lake will be contaminated and the health of the fish significantly compro-

ing consultants have designed many of these structures including Mt. Polley. Their design and installation methods are based on experience rather than the theoretical approach used by NRCan which does not represent what Taseko plans to build.

“My feeling is that someone at NRCan must step forward and admit they made a mistake that has tainted the scientific aspect of the environmental review. (confirmed by John Meech).”

So this is why we went and hopefully the right information will get to the decision makers. Also, no tax money was spent on this trip.

Snowmobile regulations in force to protect caribou Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations has issued a reminder asking snowmobilers to respect winter habitat areas for caribou.

Under B.C.’s Mountain Caribou Recovery Implementation Plan areas that have been closed for recreational snowmobile use were identified by a caribou specialist starting in 2005 through 2007, said the ministry’s manager of fish and wildlife recovery implementation Chris Ritchie Thursday.

“Those are those high elevation engelmann spruce, subalpine fir forests and up into the alpine, not severe steep mountain conditions, but more rolling circle-bowl-like areas,” Ritchie said.

Snowmobile activity can affect the animals’ behaviour, prompting them to move into less suitable habitat where the food supply is not as plentiful or where their activity in steep terrain could create avalanche hazards, a press release from the ministry noted.

If mountain caribou are forced out of an area unnecessarily, the caribous’ energy reserves can be depleted during this critical

Reminder that Mountain Caribou are protected in snowmobing restrictions. time of the year.

In the Cariboo specifically, areas impacted by the closure include Yanks Peak, Mica Mountain and in the Wells-Barkerville region.

“Closure areas are broadly distributed both within what we call the Cariboo Region — the Quesnel area — and also from Mackenzie down to the U.S. border.”

Overall caribou numbers continue in decline in the Cariboo region, Ritchie said.

The ministry was thinking it was seeing some positive conditions in the Barkerville herd, however, when they were surveyed last year, the numbers were a lot lower.

“But biologists are hoping that was an artifact of the actual sur-

vey, that the animals just weren’t there when they went looking for them,” Ritchie said.

“We’re going to try and do surveys again this winter to confirm that we have a positive situation and not a blippy cycle.”

Surveys are typically done in the middle to the end of March.

The goal is to stabilize herds and reach a number of 2,500 caribou across the province by 2024, he added.

Presently there are around 1,600.

When it comes to enforcing the clo-

sures, the ministry has worked with provincial organizations and local snowmobiling clubs to get information out and to get support when conservation officers are on patrol issuing tickets.

“We’ve also worked with them on developing information packages that will work for their sector,” Ritchie said. “It doesn’t do any good to do any government talk if we can’t get our message out.”

One of the things they’ve worked on are stewardship management areas in caribou habit that would otherwise be closed.

Partnerships exist with the local clubs to manage the areas.

Clubs provide signage and information, to undertake patrols, to amp up the commitment to manage the “good conduct” and compliance of the sledders at what the ministry hopes is a manageable risk to caribou, Ritchie said.

Enforcement patrols start late January and go until early April each year.

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

The Fretless brings bluegrass to new heights Rising in popularity across Canada since first coming together in 2011 The Fretless takes a new approach to folk music that is quickly gaining high acclaim around the world.

In November 2011, Karrnnel Sawitsky (Fiddle), Ivonne Hernandez (Fiddle), Eric Wright (Cello) and Trent Freeman (Fiddle) got together for the first time on Vancouver Island. At the end of 10 days of writing, arranging, practicing The Fretless emerged as a band.

They released their debut album Waterbound in early 2012, which features their fresh styles and compositions, plus collaborations with singers Ruth Moody and Norah Rendell. The album grabbed the attention of critics and fans of many genres.

Waterfound with its intricate, beautiful, high energy fiddle tunes and folk melodies fueled a busy summer for the band of festivals across Canada, a month long tour of Germany, and world wide sales and

The year was capped with three awards: Instrumental Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards; and at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, both Ensemble of the Year, and Instrumental Group of the Year.

The individual biographies of this group are truly amazing. By the age of three, Ivonne Hernandez was playing violin by ear, everything from her mother’s favourite Maritime reels to her father’s Chilean folk

music roots.

A child prodigy, she is the reigning five-time Grand North American Fiddle Champion, and has performed around the world.

With several Canadian Folk Music award nominations and a Saskatchewan 30 Below Award nomination to his credit Karrnnel Sawitsky is quickly establishing himself as one of the most dynamic and original fiddle players in Canada.

Scary Scarecrows At times, life is like a book which we read without understanding much of it. It is as if we have spiritual dyslexia, especially when we encounter trials and tribulations in life. We need to allow our minds and hearts to be changed and transformed by the grace of God, and to see life with all its trials and tribulations as it should be seen in order to make some sense out of it. Allow me to paraphrase an analogy by Frank Boreham.

A crow is hungry and sees a beautiful corn field, then it spies a scarecrow, becomes really scared and avoids the corn field.

But imagine if the crow could change its way of thinking.

Looking the scarecrow in the eye, the crow could say, “Hey, you are a good sign, because right behind you there is an abundant harvest.” So, likewise, we encounter many scarecrows in our lives, namely trials and tribulations. We get scared, or discouraged, or depressed and avoid them. But if we, like the crow, react differently, then we could look at the trials and tribulations in the eye and say, “Hey, you are a good sign, because behind you there stands

that we would not have grown if life did not challenge us to grow.

This analogy can easily be wrenched out of its context. One needs to be prudent and careful.

In a case where a person is being abused (verbally, emotionally, sexually, physically, etc.), one should not be a Christian door mat, where everyone can just step all over the person. The one who is abusing and those who are experiencing abuse both need help. In our province, there is a 24 hour crisis line to help PARSONS PEN those who need it: 1 888 353

Trea Domchek and her best friend Betty take advantage of the beautiful weather Wednesday afternoon and go for a cross-country ski on the lake. Domchek moved to Williams Lake last month for a full-time job at the hospital, where she works as a LPN.

City 85th birthday party set for May 3 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Plans for a big party to celebrate Williams Lake’s 85th birthday are coming along.

“The planning committee got together on Feb. 3 and right now we’re just trying to get the final details together,” Coun. Danica Hughes said.

The city’s birthday of incorporation is March 15, however, organizers have selected May 3 for a big celebration.

Activities will take place in Boitanio Park and in rink two of the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

They range from games, wagon rides, a carnival hosted by Ma-

ranatha School, breakfast and dinner prepared by service clubs, to a large birthday cake, entertainment and family dance.

Hughes said she’s hoping the day will be affordable, inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor has been fundraising for the birthday

celebration.

On Thursday he confirmed that 25 individuals, corporations and businesses will contribute $13,500 to cover the entire costs of the celebration, minus the cost of using the small arena.

Rathor said he hoped the city and Cariboo Regional District will waive the

$2,000 rental fee for the rink.

“It is is my decision that I will not accept more than $500 from the city for the celebration,” Rathor said.

“That way the city will be an equal sponsor and not own the event.”

Rathor is also compiling a VIP list for the celebration.

MONEY MATTERS Tax tidbits - did you know?

first and last name, location of the Tax Service Office, and the department they are in. Finally, ask why you did not receive a letter in the mail relating to the communication and tell them you will call them back. You can then call the general line and ask about the information request.

Do not let yourself be a victim of fraud.

Did you know that the annual Tax Free Savings Account limit for 2013 is $5,500?

A couple of other items: Marginal tax rates Did you know that the highest marginal

tax rate for 2014 is 45.8% on taxable income in excess of $150,000. This means the next dollar you earn after $150,000 will be taxed at 45.8%.

Good news for 2014 - at least you will not be taxed at 50% of your income. This rate does not include any deductions or tax credits from your income. Review CRA’s website for a full list of progressive tax rates and income levels for British Columbia.

Making a tax driven business decision Each year tax payers ask “What should I do to reduce my income?”

They are asked why

in$tant ca$h back*

they are concerned and inevitably the response from a taxpayer is because they will have

to pay tax at 50%.

Taxpayers are advised to make a decision that makes sense for their business; they invest in capital for their business because they will get a return on that investment and they purchase supplies because they need them. Be careful though, if you have “supplies” that are not used by period end, that may be inventory which is not deducted when calculating net income. Why would you spend a dollar on something you do not need to, to save, at the highest tax rate 45.8% as a proprietor, and at

the lowest marginal tax rate of 20.06% on income up to $37,606, or as a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation that qualifies as a Small Business Corporation a tax rate of 13.5% on taxable income up

to $500,000? In other words is it smart to spend $1.00 to save 0.20 cents of tax for something you don’t need?

Microdermabrasion Winter Special

INDOOR TANNING Do you have the blues? Are you tired, sad, or feeling lethargic? You may have the winter blues, and yes, many people seem to complain about having this disorder.

Occasionally, low vitamin D levels are responsible.

Indoor Tanning may be the answer for you. Some indoor tanners swear that it makes them feel better physically and mentally! It has been proven scientifically that indoor tanning is the best way to boost your vitamin D production. Indoor tanning works the same way the sun does at tanning, but indoor tanning controls your exposure time.

If the exposure time is minimal to start and increased gradually over time, the chance of burning and skin damage is lessened.

Many doctors prescribe indoor tanning to their patients who suffer from many skin related problems such as eczema and psoriasis.

Occasionally some patients are recommended to try Light Therapy or indoor tanning for depression.

We recommend indoor tanning at least one month prior to vacationing to build a base tan. A slowly achieved base tan can lessen the chances of sunburning in hotter climates. Pre-tan and don’t ruin your next vacation. Sometimes one may find outdoor tanning lotions that contain high levels of sunscreen bother their skin and may produce itching and rashes. Remember that ANY burning from the sun or tanning appliances is always bad for your skins health.

EXCESSIVE tanning is unnecessary and unhealthy. No person(s) under the age of 18 may tan unless they have a prescription from their doctor. Most tanning salons also carry a variety of indoor tanning lotions. These products are formulated to accelerate tanning. Most indoor tanning lotions contain exceptional skin conditioners and moisturizers. Indoor lotion and bronzing lotions condition the skin prior to tanning. Dry unconditioned skin does not tan quickly, and conditioned skin keeps a tan lasting longer. The use of indoor lotions is highly recommended.

Outdoor tanning lotions are not to be used in tanning beds. They contain oils that can stain or damage the plexiglas bulb shields.

Tanning is not recommended for light skinned individuals who have a history of not being able to tan in the sun. People with red hair, light skin and freckle easily, with blue or green eyes should tan with caution. Indoor Tanning is your choice. If you are interested, call your local tanning salon and find out if indoor tanning is for you! It just might make you feel and look healthier!

The Spa and Salon industry is not just about beauty, it is also about your general well-being.

A pedicure is not always a luxury, it is maintenance for the foundation of your whole body. The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day, that adds up to some serious mileage.

Professional hair stylists work to restore the health and balance of your hair and scalp in addition to offering customized looks to suit your personality and lifestyle.

When you feel confident in your appearance and comfortable in your body, your attitude and sense of well-being is lifted.

Sportsmen’s Association Game Photo submitted The bantam female Williams Lake Timberwolves are headed off to compete at a provincial championship after beating Prince George Banquet this past weekend during regional playdowns. For qualifying, the girls become the first all-girls team from Williams Lake to reach a provincial championship.

Bantam girls provincial-bound Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The bantam female Williams Lake Timberwolves are the first all-girls team from Williams Lake to reach a provincial hockey championship.

The girls advanced to the tournament, being held March 16-21 in Fort St. John, after beating the Prince George Cougars in two straight games of a best-of-three regional playdown series in Williams Lake last Saturday and Sunday, 3-2 and 3-1, respectively.

“The girls played their hearts out. They played awesome,” said coach Troy Weil of his team’s effort.

“They were very focused, they were disciplined, they played within the team structure, they wanted it more than anyone and they didn’t give up.”

The girls played their hearts out.

They were very focused, they were disciplined, they played within the team structure, they wanted it more than anyone and they didn’t give up.”

- Troy Weil In game one Prince George took the lead early but Hallie Fisher, Caily Mellott and Grace Outhouse lit the lamp for the home side to edge Prince George in the 3-2 outing.

Paityn Weil added two assists in the victory.

In game two Williams Lake came out flat, being outshot 13-4 in the first period, however, entered the dressing room in be-

tween periods deadlocked in a scoreless tie.

The second period saw Williams Lake continue to claw back into the contest, before they poured it on in the third period scoring twice to seal the 3-1 decision.

The Timberwolves ended the game outshooting their opponents, 32-27.

“We were pretty happy with the 0-0 tie at the end

of the first period,” Weil said. “Tamara William, our goalie, since Christmas, has played as well as any girl in the province in net.

“She’s played outstanding.”

Scoring in game two for the Timberwolves were Fisher, with two, and Laine Grace, while Mellott chipped in three assists in the winning effort.

Weil added the progression the team has made since the players began skating together in peewee has been remarkable.

“The first year we played together in peewee, I don’t think we had five wins all year long,” he said.

“Now we’re into 30plus wins. How this team has developed is remarkable and this year they’re beating the top teams, and it’s nice.

“The girls’ program in Williams Lake is really developing and there are some young girls in the peewee divisions right now coming up who are outstanding.”

The provincials in Fort St. John will feature the top six female hockey teams in the province.

“We’re going to compete in every game,” Weil said.

“And a top-three finish would be great.”

The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association will host its annual Game Banquet Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Elks Hall. Doors open at 5 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $35 a person, $60 for a couple or $25 for a junior, 18 and under, and are available at Chilcotin Guns, Surplus Herby’s, Blue Mountain Gunsmithing or from any of the directors of the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association.

Cadet marksmen show fine form in Prince George Irene Berns Special to Tribune/Advisor Five army cadets from Williams Lake travelled to Prince George for the Northern B.C cadet air rifle marksmanship competition on Saturday, Feb. 8.

“Cadets have been preparing since midOctober practicing every week,” said coach and Capt. Mary Crawford.

The competition is shot at a 10-metre distance using a daisy air rifle equipped with only aperture sights.

The cadets had to shoot a total of 40 targets for the highest possible score of 400.

A perfect bulls-eye is worth 10 points.

With three games remaining in the season there is a tie for top spot in the Williams Lake Super League of Curling. Caribou Ski has won its last three games to put some pressure on the Credit Union.

In last night’s games Credit Union took control of the game against Caribou Ski with a steal of two in the sixth end, cruising to a 6-3 win.

In game two PMT gave up five in the third end and scrambled back into the game, missing a hit for three in the last end, losing 9-8.

This put a halt to PMT’s three-game winning streak.

Speed skaters reach podium Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Speed Skating Club glided its way to a third-place finish early February at the Kamloops Long Blades Coyote Cup. Tania Lauren, head coach of the WLSSC, said what makes the feat even more impressive is the competition was the club’s first time attending a competitive event since it started up just three years ago.

“There were 17 different clubs at the meet and it was fantastic for the first time around and the kids were super happy,” Tania said. “I think almost every single one of our kids did personal best times.”

Thirteen of the club’s young skaters aged six to 13 competed on a 100-metre track on an Olympic-sized oval in events featuring dis-

tances from 100 metres all the way up to 1,500 metres.

Brooke Bennison, 6, raced to a gold medal in her age category, Leah Lauren, 8, and Ty Lauren, 9, also duplicated the performance.

Picking up silver medals at the meet were Nayeli Doerner, 7, and Cadence Halfnights, 8, while Ella Carson, 7, Colby Bennison, 8, Emily Swan, 9, Drew Woodford, 11, and Laren Swan, 13, won bronze medals.

Sophie Reissner and Bayley Stratton, both 8, were fourth in their respective categories picking up iron medals, and Amy Swan, 11, skated to a fifth-place finish.

The team’s cumulative score at the end of the competition determined its third-place finish, Tania said, adding it’s amazing to see the improvement in the skaters

Advertising Deadlines

It is with great sadness we announce that mother and grandmother, Joan, passed away peacefully at Nanaimo Seniors Village on February 1, 2014.

Joan was born at Hanceville, BC, to Gordon and Annie Farwell who were homesteading at Farwell Canyon. She later moved to Victoria where she attended Oak Bay High School. Moving to Duncan, she met and married Burges Buckmaster (Buck), and the couple took up residence in Victoria.

Joan was an avid gardener and bridge player, and spent many enjoyable years with Buck cruising and fishing in local waters on their pleasure boat. She took many trips back to the Chilcotin country, visiting friends, fishing the lakes, and hunting.

Joan was predeceased by her husband, Buck, in 1993, and by her brother, Gerald Farwell. She will be sadly missed by her daughter, Daphne (Don) Duddridge, by her grand-daughter, Ria, and by her many nieces and nephews. Her family are very grateful to the staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village for their incredible level of care and love for Joan over the last five years.

Flowers are gratefully declined; donations in memory may be made to a charity of choice.

Dick Poole

Sept. 30, 1932 - Feb. 2, 2014 Dick (George Richard) Poole was born on September 30, 1932 to Frederick and Alice Poole, in Vancouver, B.C. Dad went to school in Vancouver until the age of 14, when he left school to explore. His adventures took him to many parts of B.C., where he worked numerous odd jobs from ranch hand, to picking pine cones, until he finally joined the railway life.

In 1954, the romance of the impending war enticed him to join the army. Dad served 3 years while stationed with the Peace Corps in Europe, and loved to entertain us with the often humorous and sometimes horrendous stories from his time overseas.

Back home and again with the railway, Dad moved to Prince Rupert, and it is here that he met his beloved soul mate, Nola Anderson. They were married in 1961 and spent an incredibly happy 4 years, making many, many good friends in Rupert. First daughter Caren (Pritchard) was born here in 1963.

A family venture, owning a summer resort (Kawkawa Lake) lured them to move to Hope in 1964, which they helped build up and run until 1966. Second daughter Tricia was born here in 1965.

In 1966, Dad decided to return, once again, to the railway and then moved to the lower mainland. They lived in Coquiltam, in a quiet neighborhood, and adopted their much coveted son Kenneth in 1968.

Mom and Dad decided that the big city was not where they wanted to raise their family, so in 1974 Dad transferred with the railway to the north, first a year in Mackenzie and then finally finding a permanent home in Williams Lake. The following year they purchased property on Chimney Lake, not far from Williams Lake, where the family (and friends!) spent many, many happy hours enjoying life. Dad slowly built what started out as a cabin, and finally turned into their home…many people will remember coming out for a swim and ending up with a hammer for a couple of hours of labour, or rock picking!

In 1981, Marjorie (Ross) was a final addition to the Poole family, making mom’s dream of having 4 children complete!

Dad retired early from the B.C. Rail in order to enjoy his golden years. Teaching Nancy Green skiing, golfing, helping friends and family with odd carpentry jobs as well as volunteering for the Hough Memorial and the Seniors Center took up much of his time. Spending as much time as possible with his 5 grandchildren was also a high priority to Dad… all of them have many wonderful memories of him patiently teaching them how to drive, fish, ski, play cards, and listen to stories (not always appropriate ones!) of his past. Attending ALL of the sporting events was very important too… even though he never understood what that game of rugby was all about!

With Mom’s passing in October, 2013, Dad lost his soul mate and his rock. He worked very hard to find joy in his quiet life, and understood that it was going to be a very difficult journey. This proved to be too much for him… on February 2nd, Dad lost the battle to stay with us and went to join his beloved wife and children.

Dad was predeceased by his parents, sister Barb (Helme), brother Bill (sister in law Rita), son Ken, daughter Tricia, and wife Nola.

Application No. __320523_______

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION NOTICE Application for a Permit amendment Under the Provisions of the Environmental Management Act We, Tolko Industries at 5000 Soda Creek Road, intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend air permit PA-02484. This permit was issued January 22, 1974, amended February 11, 2002 and authorizes the discharge of air emissions from our sawmill/planer complex.

The land upon which the facility is situated is 5000 Soda Creek Road, Williams Lake, BC. Located on District lot 8844.

The amendment requests that item 1.(1.1.1) the current maximum rate of discharge be increased from 1254 m3/min to 1700 m3/min. This change will require the addition of a new cyclone in order to transition from a low pressure system to a high pressure system changing the site number of cyclones being used from 3 to 4. The site reference for this discharge is E213732. The changes will replace a conventional cyclone with a new high efficiency cyclone system.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed amendment and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Manager, Environmental Protection at 640 Borland Street.
