Rotary looks for green light on bright idea for Boitanio Park Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer If the Rotary Club of Williams Lake gets its wish, Boitanio Park will be a safer place. On Tuesday evening, Rotary president Nancy Giesbrecht and member Dave Dickson shared the club’s vision for Williams Lake’s biggest downtown park at a committee of the whole meeting. The Rotarians explained a vision for the park that includes dozens of carriage lights throughout the park, a small garden, some historical signs, replacing every tree that is lost to disease, and a new paved path for people with mobility issues. “Boitanio Park is the jewel of our city,” said Dickson, who is also the RCMP’s saf-

spoil it for us? No, we need to take back our park.” Showing a map of the park, with dozens of blue dots indicating where lights would go, Dickson said lighting would enhance the safety of the park. Each light would cost $3,750, and have the ability to light up an area of 50 feet. To light up the area from the entrance on Borland Street to the skate board park, it’s estimated 27 lights are needed. “It’s a big cost item, but if we do it strategically and project the program out for three to five years, whatever, it’s do-able,” Dickson said. Two organizations have come forward and donated $7,000, and Rotary has contributed so there’s more than $10,000

Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) is warning of significant potential for large, destructive avalanches in mountainous areas of B.C. this weekend. The CAC issued the special public avalanche warning for recreational backcountry users in all of the CAC’s forecast regions, except the North Shore Mountains and the Yukon. This warning is in effect immediately and extends to the end of the day on Wednesday, Feb. 26. The problem is a result of the extended dry period of late January and early February, explains Karl Klassen, manager of the CAC’s Public Avalanche Warning Service. “That long drought left the surface of the snowpack in very bad shape,” says Klassen. The problem layer
committed already, Giesbrecht said. Rotary would also like to see more recreational opportunities in the park to make it more viable. “There is a challenge with electricity, we don’t have enough power in the park,” manager of general services Geoff Goodall said. “We’ve worked with BC Hydro and we have an idea of bringing a three-phase service in the corner by the complex.” If installed, the station would be the ultimate feed for the entire park. Rotary asked if the city will consider partnering with the project. Council asked staff to work with club to develop a business plan to be brought back to council for further consideration.

Avalanche warning for B.C.
Vitamin D has been mentioned many times in the media over the past few years. It seems like it is the cure-all for diseases like MS, cancer and diabetes although none of this has been proven yet. For a while it was thought to ward off colds and flu but a recent study proved that this isn’t so. However many Canadians do take vitamin D supplements of 1000 to 4000 units daily. With all the research into the genetics of cancer, prostate cancer is the type that can most often be inherited. If there is a history of prostate cancer in a man’s family, he has a 58% probability of also getting the disease. For women and breast cancer, the probability is 28%.
is widespread and with a weather forecast calling for clearing skies, the CAC is urging recreational backcountry users to be very conservative in their terrain choices. “There’s a lot of pent-up demand for powder after that dry spell but this weak layer is going to be a problem for the foreseeable future,” says Klassen. The weak layer will likely persist after this warning expires and recreationists are urged to stay cautious in avalanche terrain. Everyone in a backcountry party needs to carry an avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel and be wellpracticed with their rescue skills. More detailed information is also available on the CAC blogs and forecasts at ww.avalanche.ca/ cac.

Dry skin is a common problem during our Canadian winters. One tip for helping is to not scrub your skin too hard when in the shower or bath because it strips the oils from the skin. When drying the skin, leave a little moisture on the skin then apply a good moisturizer. That will help seal in the water and prevent extreme dryness. February is Heart and Stroke Month in Canada. Every seven minutes a Canadian has a heart attack. About 16,000 Canadians die of a heart attack each year with most of those deaths occurring out of hospital. This is a good time to encourage everyone to learn CPR. It’s easier than ever before and you never know when it can help you save a life. Heart medications also save many lives every year. However, they have to be taken as the doctor orders. If you are having trouble remembering to take your medication, ask our pharmacists for help.

Beetle action coalition looks to future Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The announcement of the Canfor sawmill closure in Quesnel last October was a wakeup call for the Cariboo-Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition, according to coalition chair Chad Mernett. Since its inception in 2005, CCBAC has been working behind the scenes, Mernett told reporters in Williams Lake during a media conference Friday. “We knew impacts on our timber supply were looming but all of a sudden it was real.” Mernett, who became chair last fall, said the coalition anticipates there will be more impacts on the timber supply and was prompted to meet and develop strategic priorities. During a two-day action planning session, the CCBAC board outlined six strategic priorities for the coming year. They include participating in the government’s mid-term timber supply review. “About 70,000 people call the Cariboo Chilcotin home and 70 per cent of our economy is forestry based,” Mernett said, adding the CCBAC will working with communities, First Nations and governments to help minimize the impacts of a reduction of the timber supply and the resulting job loss.
The board will focus on skills training in the region and continue to work with the other two beetle action coalitions in B.C. to ensure adequate government resources are available to communities and First Nations. To that end, all three coalitions are also part of the Rural BC Project, Mernett said. “There are many benefits to working together on key issues.” A fourth priority will see the board collaborating with existing tourism and economic development agencies in the region to identify new opportunities for growth, development and creation of new jobs. “Our region is rich in natural beauty, wide open spaces, everything from mountain biking to rodeos to fly fishing and Barkerville,” Mernett said. While the coalition will continue to fund projects aimed at diversifying the agricultural sector, one of the newest ideas is self-contained aquaculture operations to raise arctic char. “CCBAC is also waiting an update on one of its original strategies which focuses on social development, needs of people and communities in our region,” he added. “The closure of a sawmill, mine or any other major employer has a number of impacts.”

The new building will be erected 100 metres away from the existing one, across a parking lot, where another old building is being demolished. On the lower level two floors will be dedicated to out-patient clinics for people who are Vancouver-based or living in temporary living situations. Each of the five floors above will contain 20 private rooms, angled light and air, outdoor spaces, and there will be a garden on the roof. There will also be therapeutic spaces, whether they are libraries or art rooms. “Our building team went all around the world to look for the very best in terms of facilities that we’re incorporating into our design here.” Ground breaking is expected in late September, early October. It will take two years to build, with a goal of moving patients and services in early 2017.

Canada is Olympic As we enter the home stretch of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, it’s kind of sad to think it’ll all be over for another four years. Since the Olympics kicked off Feb. 7 we have watched many great Olympic moments and we’ve seen Canadians take centre stage multiple times, but not just for medals. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, Canadian cross-country team coach Justin Wadsworth helped out rival Russian skier Anton Gafarov, who crashed and broke a ski during a semifinal heat in the men’s crosscountry sprint. Before the crowds and cameras, Wadsworth ran onto the course with a spare ski in hand and quickly fastened it to Gafarov’s boot, who was able to finish the race thanks to the gesture. The good nature of Canadians was on display again when Canadian speedskater Gilmore Junio gave up his own place in the men’s 1,000-metre race to teammate Denny Morrison of Fort St. John,
who went on to take home a silver medal. Junio said Morrison was our best hope for a medal, while Morrison has said Junio should carry the Canadian flag at the closing ceremonies. And who will ever forget backup netminder Kristers Gudlevskis on the Latvia men’s hockey team, who collapsed from exhaustion but turned away 55 of 57 shots fired on him from Team Canada Wednesday. Just yesterday, Canada’s medal ranking was significantly boosted by Jennifer Jones and her team, who got us all hooked on curling and took home gold, as did the Canadian women’s hockey team, in a thrilling matchup against Team USA. Now we are all waiting to cheer on Anahim Lake’s Carey Price as he leads Team Canada into the semifinals today and hopefully into a gold medal matchup Sunday.

Many things you can do with a few bricks OK, so I had an argument this morning. It wasn’t much, I suppose, but what made me really feel bad about it was this: the scrap was with someone important. Someone I really care about, or need to have in my corner. Of course, the other party was wrong. I knew the facts. I was sure of them! Why couldn’t that someone just see it my way? So I pushed harder, then I pushed some more, certain that if I just presented my case strongly enough, the ignorant person I was speaking with would eventually come around. Then came the quiet.

Who provoked a school strike? I made an error in a column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. I referred to an “illegal” strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded that this teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board. After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike. They got their wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a three-day strike in the first week, and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached. For the record, the last “illegal” BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union. That was the same year BCTF lawyers won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression. The authorized three-day strike went ahead in March 2012. Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and in some cases sent out as union pickets, and of the strong-arming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the

legislature lawn. This was the strike that, according to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001. Government lawyers filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal on Friday to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing Griffin’s terms would cause “irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series of affidavits from superintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superintendents around the province on
its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class size restrictions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff, and cancellation of school participation in the international student program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back
against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal.
In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Guest book available to sign for hometown hero Information available on pool renovation and upgrade referendum I invite everyone to come down to city hall to sign a guest book to recognize and support our hometown hero Carey Price, who is in goal for Team Canada as they look to win a second straight Olympic gold medal. After the Olympics, the book full of names and cheers will be sent to Carey.

old cooktop was removed, and a vegetable sink was installed. The dishwasher was raised to make loading and unloading easier. The more efficient kitchen also got new flooring and a fresh coat of paint. Some funds were also used to
offer the Food Safe course, and a Meals to Go program. Thanks to the Lions and Lioness Clubs, and the Old Age Pensioners Organization for raising more money, and for inkind donations for this project. The Food Safe course was taught through TRU. Just another example of how working together creates great things for the community! *** It was another exciting weekend of hockey, with the Stampeders winning two games over the Quesnel Kangaroos to advance to the Central Interior Hockey League final.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Stamps play for the league title against the Smithers Steelheads, and again March 11-15 as Williams Lake hosts the Coy Cup! *** We are going to referendum on Nov. 15 this year. The Joint Committee of the City and Cariboo Regional District have decided to ask the voters if they approve of borrowing up to $10 million for renovations and upgrades to the pool. Not only will the 30-year-old and leaking main pool tank be replaced, the project calls for
an additional three-lane leisure pool with waterslide and lazy river, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and a new multi-use space on the second floor. I encourage everyone to be informed about this important referendum. You can find lots of information on the upgrade designs, costs, and frequently asked questions on the city’s website at www.williamslake.ca. Please take a look and make sure you make an informed decision on election day in November. Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others’ perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don’t make any big decisions without first thinking carefully. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend early in the week. Ideas will flow easily and your imaginations will soar together. It is a productive pairing. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 This is not your week to mix love and money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as possible, and exercise caution before lending anyone money. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you want to play outside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relatively traditional course, so this catches others off guard. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You don’t always have the patience to stick with the same routine, Aquarius. That means others cannot expect you to conform to their whims if they want you as a friend. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may need to sacrifice some security for a chance to have a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.

Soccerfest and Registration for the
Film club screens Behind the Candelabra Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Film Club is presenting its next film Behind the Candelabra this Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the Gibraltar Room. Before Elvis, before Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, there was Liberace: virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer and flamboyant star of stage and television. His name is the embodiment of showmanship and extravagance, his way of dressing is so far over the top it just about seems magical, and he loves candelabras, always placing one on his grand piano before starting to play. His career spanned more than 40 years. His love for candelabras gave the title to our film: Behind the Candelabra. We meet Liberace (Michael Douglas) when he meets a young stranger, Scott Thorson, played by Matt
Photo submitted
The Williams Lake Film Club will show Behind the Candelabra on Tuesday, Feb. 28. Damon. Despite their age difference and their lives seemingly a world apart, they fall in love. In our film we follow them from their first meeting at the Las Vegas Hilton to their final bitter break-up. You have to remember, this was at a time when Hollywood was deeply closeted. Being gay or homosexual was absolutely not to be mentioned. It could destroy one’s career and endanger one’s life. Behind the Candela-
bra is directed by Steven Soderbergh and the screenplay is based on the book by Scott Thorson, Liberace’s Lover. The acting is dead on. I was expecting to see Michael Douglas in another good role, he always seems to pick the good ones, but in this film he actually seems to become Liberace. Your forget that you are watching the Michael Douglas, he is just so good. Matt Damon is perfect as the young lover from the country, the change
in his character once he is with Liberace is fascinating. And Rob Lowe as the cosmetic surgeon is downright creepy. It is easy to thoroughly enjoy this film, but you might catch yourself really caring for the characters of Liberace and Thorson, caught in a world of deceit, manipulation and hollow fame. And then there is true love as well … Next Tuesday is even more special as we will have a birthday cake, a big and really yummy

Youds paintings inspired by nature Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer If you enjoy the wilderness and would like to bring a bit of it into your home, the paintings of John Youds fill the bill quite nicely. Raging rapids, tranquil lakes surrounded by green mountains, gently moving streams tumbling with the rocks beneath, fields with big skies — Youd’s paintings let you drift right into the scene. Youd’s work reflects his life-long connection to nature. His creative process begins outdoors where he hikes, photographs and sketches what inspires him. Using his imagination and his reference
material he then completes the interpreted paintings in his studio. Given his background as a wildlife biologist Youds is especially interested in exploring hidden relationships and interconnectedness in nature and ecosystems and his paintings reflect this quest. He explained some of his inspiration to those gathered for the opening of his first major show now titled Interconnectedness Matters on this month upstairs at the Station House Gallery. For instance in working to bring water to life in one of his close up paintings of a river he realized after long periods of viewing and contem-
plation that the rocks and water were flowing together, actually holding each other in a kind of elaborate dance which has been going on forever. He said he is also interested in shapes and historical references and trying to capture the larger picture of where wildlife live. While he may not be painting every day, Youds says he is always thinking about and struggling with how to express the interconnectedness in nature and also how humans relate to their environment in his work. Youds had a passion for drawing and painting from an early age, but put that love on hold at age 28 in
favour of family and a 33 year career as a wildlife biologist. Two years ago he opted for early retirement and returned to his childhood passion for painting. In that way he considers himself to be a “new, old artist.” Youds is a selftaught artist, though he did receive art instruction through high school and was influenced by his parents, who were both painters. Youds has previously shown his work in the Williams Lake Art Walk and at the New World Coffeehouse. The current show at the Station House gallery is John’s first showing in a public gallery.

This three-bedroom family home boasts plenty of curb appeal, thanks to its doubleheight foyer and spacious first-floor sundeck. The entrance is on the ground floor, with a den to the left and a laundry room tucked in behind it. Beyond is an unfinished basement area that could be converted to a fourth bedroom, in-law suite, workshop or studio. The den is ideally located for a home office, nicely separating visitors and clients from the family area upstairs. A coat closet fits into the angle of the L-shaped staircase to the second-floor living area. Upstairs, the great room boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling, as well as a corner fireplace. The dining room, in a bayed-out area nearby, features an optional buffet. Both rooms enjoy access to the sundeck, with a covered area just outside the dining room. No cook will ever feel isolated in this kitchen, which is separated from the dining and living rooms only by an eating bar. As well as a stepsaving U-shaped counter configuration, the kitchen features a corner pantry. A covered area just outside, part of a spacious patio, is designed for year-round barbecuing. The master suite, overlooking the front garden, has a bayed-out en-suite that contains a shower stall as well as a soaker tub for a touch of spa luxury, and double basins that will help speed the morning rush-hour. A roomy walk-in closet is adjacent to the en-suite. The second and third bedrooms are separated by a
three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is conveniently situated for all three bedrooms. Exterior finishes include wood siding, painted trim and pilasters with stone bases. Decorative struts embellish the gables. This home measures 48 feet wide by 45 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,509 square feet of living space. Plans for design 2-3-729

4-H group cooks quiche from scratch Photo submitted
Brenda Fan Wyck and Jaydan Taylor Special to Tribune/Advisor Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area. I have a 4-H update for you. The Rose Lake Miocene 4-H Club has a total of 46 members this year! We are the biggest club in our district. Our district includes Canim Valley, Springhouse, Highland, Big Lake, Chimney Valley, Lone Butte, and Horsefly. In total there are 134 4-H members registered in our district. Do you know what a CCIA tag is? First of all, CCIA stands for Canadian Cattle Identification Agency. A CCIA tag is a tag that is pierced into the ear of an animal before leaving its farm of origin. The tags are normally used for cattle, sheep, and swine. These tags have something called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) so the tag can be read by a transmitter simply by scanning near the tag. On every tag there is also a specific number. These numbers are very important for tracking your animal. Without these tags, the animals will not be allowed to be shown or sold. So for those of you 4-H members who are raising an animal, make sure you get your CCIA tag numbers to your leaders as soon as possible. Another part of a 4-H member’s responsibility is completing record books. For every project we take on in 4-H we have to fill out a record book. Record books document all sorts of information. For example, weight charts. These charts track the weight of your animal from birth until it is sold. There are a couple other charts that you will see in a record book like feeding charts (charts that show the ration of feed given to your animal on a monthly basis), expense charts (charts that show what you buy for your animal, where, how much it costs, etc.), and train-
Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H Club members Shaylin Leclerc (left), Kianna Davis, and Kimberly Davis whip up a quiche in one of their cooking classes. They are also learning about canning and other cooking skills.

It is very important to keep not only a record book, but a well documented record book because these record books tell you everything you need to know about your specific project. These record books can tell you simple information like the breed of your animal, to complex information like the rate of gain your animal made per day. Competition record books are an even more detailed, formal, and informational record books that are optional to fill out. With these record books 4-H members compete with them (hence they are called ‘competition record book’). These competition record books have the same information as the record books required but, competition record books re-
quire a separate binder, a title page, pictures of yourself, your project, and several 4-H events you attended, a list of all functions you attended, the name of the club you are in, and show and sale standings. The more information put into a competition record book, the better it is. The Rose Lake Miocene foods project group had a successful meeting with their foods leader, Marg Benner. She led the group in making quiches (from scratch). We also learned a bit about serving food properly, and canning. The quiches turned out excellent...of course! As I have mentioned before, the Rose Lake Miocene 4-H club speeches are Saturday, Feb. 22. We are all wound with excitement to present our speeches and move on with the rest of the year. Speeches and demonstrations seem to be a more stressful thing to do in 4-H because of
the shyness we all have inside of us. None-theless, we are very happy to present our speeches and demonstrations to you if you will come.
*Note new service time
This event is also a potluck so if you plan to come bring your appetite. We really hope to see you there!

Delegation opposed to mine visits Ottawa Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The federal review panel’s environmental assessment report on the New Prosperity Mine must be upheld. That’s the main message an anti-New Prosperity delegation shared while in Ottawa last week, said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, who travelled with the delegation. “B.C.’s Minister of Mines Bill Bennett was there a couple of times lobbying for the mine and we know that the Williams Lake contingent of MP Donna Barnett, Mayor Kerry Cook, Ervin Charleyboy and businesses were there,” William said. “There’s a lot of pressure to approve the mine, but what’s important is the environment and our culture, and the panel report from the panel hearings, and to

Laplante mining, gas and oil manager for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, Sage Birchwater of the Fish Lake Alliance based in Williams Lake and Patricia Spencer of Friends of Fish Lake based near 100 Mile House made up the delegation. “When we met with the NDP MPs and Liberal MP John McKay, they told us they un-
derstood where we were coming from and they will bring our concerns forward,” William said. “We met with one Conservative MP. This MP is pretty new to the project, but we had a discussion about the history of the project. He didn’t say one way or the other, but he was happy to be involved.” Birchwater said the group also urged everyone to honour the environmental assessment process. “If you don’t respect your scientists, you’re
lost,” he said. Spencer echoed William and Birchwater, saying it is important to uphold the findings of the independent federal review panel. “The panel found that water treatment would be needed for Fish Lake, it wouldn’t be an option, and it would be cost prohibitive,” Spencer said. While in Ottawa the group also met deputy ministers, Colin Carrie, parliamentary secretary to Minister of Environment Leona Aglukkaq, Amnesty International, MiningWatch, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency staff and Joan Kuyek, who made a presentation at the panel hearings in Williams Lake. The group was also joined by National Chief Shawn Atleo and his staff, and Grand Chief Stewart Philip by phone.
“There’s been a lot of lobbying on both sides,” William said. “At the end of the day, we as Tsilhqot’in have been meeting and discussing. Whichever way the decision goes, we are preparing for it.”

Lakecity foresters elected to professional council Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two Williams Lake foresters have been elected to the Association of BC Forest Professionals council. West Fraser’s planning and GIS supervisor Mauro Calabrese and Tolko’s Woodland regional manager Tom Hoffman were both elected on the association’s 67th council during its annual conference held in Kelowna last week. Calabrese said he’s looking forward to learning more about the association and how it runs, and trying to get more member engagement and involvement in the association. Professional foresters and technicians in the Cariboo-Chilcotin and other interior communities have extra challenges around the mountain pine beetle epidemic and resulting salvage harvesting, he added. “Hopefully I will be able to represent those issues that foresters face on the council.” Hoffman said the council represents all the foresters and forestry technicians in the province and B.C.’s forests. “There’s a strong sense of stewardship as well as ownership to the constituents. My vision is that the council thrive on collaboration and engagement with the membership and specifically I’m concerned about the lack of young people entering into forestry.” The attention to environmental stewardship will lack without new young people entering into the profession, he added. Both Calabrese and Hoffman enjoyed the conference and presentations from
Mauro Calabrese
Tom Hoffman
various speakers, including the minister of forests, lands and natural operations. “We also had presentations on First Nations tenure and consultation, social media and social license,” Hoffman said,
adding the highlight is always networking with other forest professionals to hear about their issues and opportunities. This year’s president is Dan Graham, a Registered Professional Forester (RPF)
and lawyer (LLB), from Victoria, B.C. The 67th council includes forest professionals from around the province who have a variety of backgrounds that will enhance the work of the ABCFP. This year’s council includes representatives from government, large forest companies and independent consultants. The ABCFP council governs the affairs of the association and works to fulfill the ABCFP’s mandate as defined in the Foresters Act. The ABCFP council is made up of 10 elected councillors and two lay councillors who are appointed by the provincial government.

Cancer society prepares for Relay for Life The Canadian Cancer Society has had a presence in Williams Lake since 1946 and opened an office in 1983 to serve the city and area. The office provides information, education and support — including Financial Support — to residents receiving treatment for cancer and their families. On average, 20 per cent of all applications for Financial Support in Northern British Columbia come to the Williams Lake office. The office is located in the Seniors Centre at 176 – 4 Avenue North and is open Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Part of the office’s support goes to the
fundraising initiatives that the Williams Lake community participates in, including the Daffodil campaign, Cops for Cancer and Relay For Life. This year’s Relay For Life is Saturday, May 31. The organizing committee heard the community feedback and the 12-hour event will now be running 1 p.m. through 1 a.m. at Boitanio Park. The committee has planning underway and will have many activities through the afternoon and into the evening including its usual great entertainment. Everyone is impacted by cancer in some part of their lives so everyone has a reason to walk. The purpose of Relay For Life is to bring communities together to celebrate
survivors, remember those we have lost and find ways to fight back. Funds raised here remain in British Columbia and are distributed according to greatest need. Seventy-five per cent of all applications for financial support in Williams Lake were approved last year. The theme for this year’s Relay For Life will be Hello Summer. Everyone is encouraged to don their summer brights, hats and sunglasses! Teams are starting to register and the early bird incentive for registration is a $10 per participant fee until March 1 (online) — after that, participant registration shall be $20 so teams are encouraged to register this coming week. To register your team go online to www.relay-
forlife.ca/willliamslake or contact Dayna Betsill at 250-267-6536 or Kelly Ann Giesbrecht at 250-305-7701. The organizing committee is still welcoming volunteers for as little as a few hours on the day of relay or to join in the planning phase right now. Next meeting is Thursday, March 6 at the Ramada — contact Michelle McKinnon at 250-398-7887 for further information. Cancer survivors are an important part of this event and are encouraged to join in for the Survivor Lap at the relay. Please contact Kathryn Hadden at 778-267-0035 or Sue Tippie at 250-392-3688 if you are interested. Michelle McKinnon is chair of the organizing committee for the 2014 Relay for Life.

Jack (John Auten) Beattie
April 27, 1944 - February 2, 2014
It is with the most profound grief that I (Kim Chevalier) must write this obit for a man that was so close to my heart. His close friends and family called him Jack, but whom I called Sweetheart. Even though our time of great joy and happiness was far too brief, it will forever impact the rest of the days of my life. I have never known a man as accepting and loving as this special person who came so unexpectedly into my life. He turned all of the days since we met into days filled with laughter, sunshine and unconditional love. Even though he knew every secret about me, he never turned away. As all who loved him knew, he embraced everyone, faults and all. It is because of this beautiful part of who he was as a great man, that he was loved by so many. His days were filled with the simple joys in life, like his morning conversations on the phone, more recently on the cellphone with his sister, his weekly trip to McLeese Lake Store to have coffee with his good friend Barry, and always looked forward to the sound of a quad or snowmobile to have something a little stronger with his great friend Terry. He also loved his time spent learning piano with his close friend Vicky. It would not come as a surprise to those who knew Jack that he took great comfort and peace from watching Jim and Patrick play guitar while Kim prepared Sunday night dinners. He loved nothing more than getting Kim up onto the dance floor while Willie Nelson’s songs played on the stereo. He could still cut the rug when the music moved him! He left us far too soon. Leaving behind his closest allies and sisters Disa and Vivian (Buck). Also left to mourn are his fiancé Kim Chevalier and her sons Patrick and Robert; his beloved nephew Dale (Diana); his niece Dawn; sons Andrew and Richard and 3 grandchildren and his dog Athena. Countless friends and family too numerous to mention. He was pre-deceased by his loving wife of over 20 years, Lynn Stewart. If a man were judged by his deeds alone, then Jack is now running Heaven and Earth. His loss will forever leave a gaping hole in my heart and my life and I will miss him to the end of my days. Good night Sweetheart, until we meet again.

Where do you run when it hurts? One of the big questions that comes up when we face tragedy, suffering, and loss is “WHY?” Whether it is a sudden and unexpected loss or the long unfolding heartache that still manages to surprise us in the end with its finality, it is our nature to want to find some reason for it all. Why does this have to happen? Why them? Why now? Why not someone else? Everyone asks why. For those of us who believe in a Master Architect of all that happens in this universe, we add another word to the question. We ask, “Why, God?” I don’t think God minds that question. Just read the book of Job or the Psalms and you’ll notice a lot of “whys” being thrown God’s way. The very fact that they appear in the scriptures seems like ample evidence that God is OK with our asking. One of the biggest arguments against God is, that faced with all the pointless suffering in this world, we must conclude that either God has the power but does not care or that God cares but does not have the power. Or else he does not exist at all. A favourite author, Timothy Keller, challenges this conclusion by noting that, “Tucked away within the assertion that the world is filled with pointless evil is a hidden premise, that if evil appears pointless to me, then it must be pointless.” In other words, people want to play the part of judge, and when unpleasant things happen around us we are tempted to judge God, or to dismiss him. But this leaves us in a terrible spot.
PARSONS PEN
BY Chris harder If there is no God, then it becomes pointless to even ask why? Who will we ask it to? Looking for any sort of deeper meaning behind it all, if there is no one behind it all, is an exercise in futility. To think that every tragedy is just random chance, devoid of any greater purpose or meaning, is a recipe for despair or rage. If God is real then it is really beyond my capabilities to think that I know better than he does. I only see a small part of the picture, while God sees the end from the beginning. I am a lousy judge of what is ultimately good for this world. I need to leave it in better hands. When I do look to God, I find that the charge of,“He doesn’t care,” just doesn’t stick. Proof of this is the fact that God, in the person of his Son Jesus Christ,
entered our world and suffered not only with humanity, but for us. To accuse God of allowing evil must be measured against the reality that God willingly suffered evil and became a victim to it. Whatever questions remain about suffering, the one thing that is NOT in question is that God cares deeply about what we are going through. One day when Jesus walked this earth a group of people came and asked him about the meaning behind pointless suffering. They brought up a tragedy that was making the headlines, and asked, “Why? Who’s to blame for this?” (You can read the story in Luke 13) But Jesus didn’t answer those questions, because those aren’t the most important questions. Knowing why doesn’t make the hurt go away. Knowing who’s to blame doesn’t press the rewind button on tragedy. Jesus answered bluntly, “…unless you repent, you too will all perish.” (Luke 13) I’m sure he wouldn’t have said those words at a funeral. Jesus cried at funerals. But in that moment, speaking with people who were coming for answers more than for comfort, he pointed to the truths we all need to grapple with: Life is fragile, and it will end for all of us. What matters most is that we have prepared well for what is to come. Eternity is longer than this life – long enough to make today’s suffering seem small (Romans 8:18), and long enough to make today’s choices the most important you can ever make. The most important thing you can do when you face tragedy, suffering, and loss is to run toward God instead of running away from him.

Grapplers pin down medals at zones Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Wrestling Club has been getting its boots dirty through a busy two months of grappling, including the crowning of multiple zone champions. In early January, 13 athletes from the WLWC travelled to the Kelly Road Invitational in Prince George — a high school and elementary tournament, combined. Next, on Jan. 18, the club was in Kamloops for a Wrestling Fun Day, before two of the team’s senior athletes made the long trek to Port Alberni Feb. 6-8 for the Alberni Valley Invitational. Most recently the team’s high school wrestlers took part in the Northern B.C. Wrestling Zone Championships — the qualifier for the B.C. High School Provincial Wrestling Championships in Prince George Feb. 27 to March 1 — on Feb. 15-16 in Mackenzie. “Wrestling is a sport that you get what you give and these athletes really showed their dedication to the sport,” said Sonia Conrod, the WLWC president and head coach. “As much as it’s an individual sport it is also a team sport. I’m very proud of the kids and their representation of the sport, their school and the city of Williams Lake.” The Wrestling Fun Day, she added, was another excellent opportunity to improve on the mat for six of the club’s grapplers, who joined 70 other wrestlers for the session. “This is something we’d never been to before,” Sonia said, noting longtime NorKam secondary wrestling coach Brian Dick hosted the clinic. “The kids all benefited from it and had a lot of fun. There were several coaches showing different techniques and the kids had the opportunity to wrestle with other kids from around the province.” Braden Conrod and

Klay Pare and Will Stratton, both elementary WLWC members, do battle during the Kelly Road Invitational in January.
Taryn Dick attended the Alberni Valley Wrestling Club Invitational, along with two members of the 100 Mile Wrestling Club — Tiana Dykstra and Kody Kennedy. “This was a very elite tournament for athletes from around the province,” she said. “It is also a seeding tournament for nationals. If an athlete medals here they are eligible for nationals, being held in Guelph, Ont., in April.” The three-day event featured a weigh-in Thursday night, wrestling preliminary rounds Friday, then semifi-
did amazing.” At zones the WLWC once again showed its dominance in the region, bringing home multiple gold medals. The top three finishers at zones advance to provincials. “It’s very rare for provincials to be held in our own northern zone, so it will be a great opportunity to show the south what the north is all about,” Sonia said. Danielle Schultz, a Grade 9 standout, beat girls up to Grade 12 in her 54-kg weight class to win the gold medal. Kaitlin Jantz, also in
nal and final action Saturday. Dykstra, last year’s 43-kilogram Canadian national runner-up, proved once again her status in the Canadian wrestling world, coming home with a gold medal in the 43-kg cadet girls division. Braden, meanwhile, picked up a bronze medal in a difficult 60-kg cadet division, while both Dick (51kg cadet girls) and Kennedy (51-kig cadet boys) battled hard but did not reach the podium. “The kids all fought hard,” Sonia said. “They
Grade 9, battled to her firstever gold medal in the 60-kg division. On the boys’ side Grade 11 Peter Fayowski claimed himself a gold medal in the 110-kg weight class, while Adam Sutherland, in the 60-kg division, won bronze. Braden, competing in the same 60-kg division, added another gold medal to his collection. “All the kids battled hard and they all qualified for provincials at the end of the month,” Sonia said. “Provincials are in Prince George, so we’ll all be there to help make it successful.”
The Williams Lake Stampeders are hosting the Provincial Senior Men’s ‘AA’ Coy Cup Tournament this March 11-15 and are holding a very important volunteer meeting on Thursday, Feb. 27 upstairs in the old Mustangs’ office at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex beginning at 7 p.m. The meeting will provide an opportunity for interested volunteers to ask questions and sign up for a number of volunteer positions.

Kayla Moleschi and her Team Canada women’s sevens teammates will have to figure out a way to beat New Zealand if they ever hope to win a Women’s Sevens World Series Cup Final. For the third straight international tournament, New Zealand defeated Canada in a Cup Final, this time taking the Atlanta Sevens with a 36-0 victory Sunday. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise successful tournament for the Canadians — a tournament that saw Moleschi crack the starting lineup throughout — as Canada has now advanced to four straight Women’s Sevens World Series Cup Semifinals and sits third in the current se-

HoneyJacks skate to sweet success at 100 Mile House tourney Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake HoneyJacks women’s hockey team styled their way to a second-place finish last weekend at a female hockey tournament in 100 Mile House. Five teams made up the tournament draw including Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House, Canim Lake and Prince George, who each played one roundrobin game Friday and Saturday, before playoff matchups rounded out Sunday’s events. The HoneyJacks opened their tournament with a 3-1 win Friday over 100 Mile House, before beating Canim Lake 5-2 Saturday morning to finish a perfect 2-0 following round-robin play. They would, however, finish seeded second heading into playoffs behind Prince George, due to being behind in goals for, pitting them against Canim Lake once more in the semifinal. There, Williams Lake marched away with another victory over Canim Lake — this time 5-3 —

a half. Most of us have kids who play hockey so we spend every weekend at the rink for games or practices during the week, and travel to their tournaments, so it is nice for hockey to be ours once in a while and let the kids support and

Extended Producer Responsibility
Extended what? Most of us are unaware of what Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) or product stewardship is, even though we’ve probably used several EPR programs. In continuing with January’s topic of resolving to become waste wise, this month’s topic will help you understand what EPR is and how you can make it a success. EPR is an environmental management strategy guided by the principle that whoever designs, produces, sells, or uses a product takes responsibility for minimizing that product’s environmental impact at the end of its life. The idea behind EPR is sensible: the businesses that make products, and the users of these products, should pay for recovering and recycling materials. In British Columbia, industry’s response to EPR is product stewardship. The product stewardship model is comprised of several key players – manufacturers, retailers, governments and consumers – working together, ultimately with the goal of diverting products from landfills and ensuring they are responsibly recycled at their endof-life. “The intention of EPR strategy is to promote the integration of environmental costs associated with goods throughout their life cycles into the market price of the products, thereby motivating producers to make and sell products that are more durable, contain fewer toxins and never become waste at the end of their life.” Craig Wisehart Chair, SABC (Stewardship Agencies of British Columbia) This is why “eco fees” or “advanced disposal fees” are charged on items like tires, batteries, motor oil, and beverage containers to name a few. In May’s article we’ll discuss the newest EPR program for packaging and printed papers and how the cost of recycling these products will be shifting from the taxpayer to the consumer. What can you do to make sure EPR programs succeed at diverting products from landfills? It’s really quite simple; don’t throw away EPR products! Not sure if an item is covered by an EPR program? Not sure where your local EPR drop off location is? Call the Recycling Council of BC’s (RCBC) hotline at 1-800-667-4321, or download the Recyclepedia App and have the info at your fingertips, or check online at rcbc.ca, or cariboord.bc.ca for your local recycling guide. To date there are over 15 industry stewardship programs in the province ranging from pharmaceuticals, outdoor power equipment, appliances, pesticides, electronics, antifreeze, thermostats and cell phones.
with a new kitchen!
Save up to 40%
Did you know….there are over 300 power tools and small appliances included in the stewardship program, from angle saws to heat guns and grease guns to planers; sewing machines to clothing irons, fans to bathroom scales, blenders to coffee grinders and the list goes on and on! Go to electrorecycle.ca for the complete list. Waste wise education is delivered to students within the CRD, but the Regional District would like to make waste education available to everyone, and help change our waste handling habits for the better.

Alpine skiers hit slopes at BC Winter Games Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Timberland Ski Club racers Austin Boehm and Cole Turner are on the slopes today at the BC Winter Games in Mission. The skiers, both 12, have been busy training with the Nancy Greene program at Mt. Timothy Ski Area with their coach, Chris Nowotny, and will represent Zone 8 at the Games, which run Feb. 20-23. The alpine ski racing event will be held at Hemlock Valley Resort. The Zone 8 team consists of six other athletes: Prince George’s Isabelle Gibson, Ella Lawrence and Jordan Ahlmstrom, and Quesnel’s Alefa Sakakibara and Kelsey Lefebvre. The boys will be accompanied by parent chaperone Mike Boehm, Austin’s dad, and their Zone 8 coach, Alice Muirhead. Austin and Cole will begin competition today in slalom, giant slalom and ski cross, in the boys’ 12- to 14-year-old division. Lisa Young, TSC director and co-ordinator, said although the boys will be in tough competing against other older racers, everyone will be rooting them on. “We are so proud of Cole and Austin and know they will represent Williams Lake and their hill, Mt. Timothy, well,” Young said. “For the past
couple of months the boys have been training hard with their coach. Adam Piccolo, general manager at Mt. Timothy, has been great at grooming the runs so the boys have a safe course to practice on.” At the zone finals in Prince George Austin finished third in slalom and Cole placed fourth in giant slalom. On Thursday, the duo attended the opening ceremonies. Today, Saturday and Sunday, they’ll be on the slopes competing. “I’m confident they’ll compete well and in the spirit of the Winter Games,” she said. Also competing at the BC Winter Games this weekend are CaribooNorth East (Zone 8) hockey players Laine Grace, Sarah Hermsen, Faith Outhouse, Grace Outhouse, Tamara William, coach Roy Call and manager Jane Nicol, plus figure skater Dawn Henley.

Importance of Self Care In today’s high stress, busy life style, we often forget to take care of some pretty important people: ourselves. We don’t live in a society that values self care.We worry that if we make ourselves a priority, we become selfish. We are taught from a young age to clean up after ourselves, do our chores and finish our homework.As adults, this evolves into cleaning the house, going to work, caring for our family, cooking, laundry and dishes.Who has time for more? Right? What if I told you that you would be better at your job, if you were more relaxed? That you would appreciate your kids more if you were more rested? That you would enjoy your spouse more if you felt more valued? That you wouldn’t care if the house were perfect if you felt more put together and in one piece? Would you still think that taking care of yourself is selfish? Self care can be as simple as making sure you take your vitamins and brush your teeth. Or as complicated as hiking in the mountains of Peru. Every individual has to find the things in this world that help them connect to themselves and remember the person they are, the hopes and dreams they aspire to and where they have come from. If you don’t know yourself, it’s hard for you to know what you need to make you feel happy and fulfilled. Not everyone has the ability to hike in Peru, but there are a lot of less expensive alternatives available closer to home.There is a reason that your local spas are always busy! They offer the jet lag free vacation! Or Stay-cation, if you prefer. For some people having a flawless appearance makes them feel wonderful, even more so that lying on the beach for a week would have. So for them a
waxing treatment, or a lash or brow tint is enough to make them feel like a million bucks. For others it takes a little more TLC. For them perhaps a pedicure. Starting by soaking their feet, allowing the troubles and stresses of the day to melt away. They can drift off in the soft lounge chair, while their feel are cared for. The foot massage might bring them back to earth, a little, and by the time they stand again they have new shiny toes in any color they choose. There is of course, a wide variety of spa escapes available to meet any budget and any level of relaxation need. From a 15 minute tidy up to a full day retreat, there is something to make everyone feel their best. At adorn & Beauty Naturally we help people learn the importance of loving and caring for themselves every day. We are a non-toxic spa, specializing in Canadian and organic products.We provide a range of services including waxing, pedicures, manicures, facials, body wraps plus many more. Our highly trained staff, Jo-anne, Sandy and Tanya, have over 30 years of experience between us.We are each trained and certified estheticians. We pride ourselves on the care of our clients. Each client gets our full attention. Our new Signature Escape Treatments were developed to help people escape from the stresses of everyday life, while also taking care of the health, of their body and skin.We wanted to go beyond the “average” facial, or the “average” massage.We want your experience to be extraordinary!

Free health improvement program coming in March Pastor Cameron Johnston Special to Tribune/Advisor The Community Health Improvement Program begins in Williams Lake March 16 with volunteer co-directors Dr. Glenn Gill and Chrys Mills, RN. CHIP is a unique lifestyle education program with proven results in preventing and reversing chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. Four free information sessions will be held on Sundays, Feb. 23 and March 2 at 4 p.m. and Tuesdays, Feb. 25 and March 4 at 6 p.m. at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre, 26 Woodland Road. Everyone is welcome to come and check out this great lifestyle makeover program. In 30 days CHIP can help reduce your risk of heart disease, normalize blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, stabilize fasting blood sugar, reduce BMI, improve sleep, resilience and depression. “CHIP is an excellent program,” says Dan Mobbs from 150 Mile House, who participated in the last CHIP program. “We lost pounds, lowered cholesterol that we did not even know was high and overall benefited from the experience.” Dr. Gill, a local physician and medical director of the Williams Lake CHIP says, “it is easy to tell people they need to make changes in their lifestyle for better health but how to accomplish that is not so easy. “CHIP shows why a lifestyle change may be needed but also gives the motivation and support to continue with healthy changes.” Dr. Stefan de Swardt, another local physician, first heard about CHIP from a patient attending a program in Quesnel. “All my patients that have attended have had big reductions in weight and cholesterol. I strongly recommend it,” he says. “When a person understands how their body works and what the foods that they eat do to their body, they have the education they need to understand not only why they need to make these
changes, but how to do it,” says Gill. The CHIP program meets twice a week for five weeks with video
presentations at each session by a number of speakers including the founder of CHIP, Dr. Hans Diehl.
Included in the program are before and after blood work and health screenings to help participants see the amazing
improvement they make in just 30 days. Info sessions will be on Sundays, Feb. 23 and Mar. 2 at 4 p.m. and
Tuesdays, Feb. 25 and Mar. 4 at 6 p.m. at the Cariboo Lifestyle Centre, 26 Woodland Road. For more info or to
register for an info session call 778-412-5279. Full information is online at: www.silverhillsontheroad.com/wlchip.
