The Federal Government has rejected the New Prosperity Mine. In a decision statement issued Wednesday evening, Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq concluded the proposed controversial gold-copper mine project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects that cannot be mitigated. As the news filtered through the Cariboo-Chilcotin strong reactions emerged from both sides. Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook and MLA Donna Barnett said they were disappointed. First Nations leaders said it was time to celebrate. Aglukaaq said the Governor in Council has determined the significant environmental effects are not justified in the circumstances for the project to go ahead. When asked if anything jumped out specifically from the panel report, the minister’s office said it is concurring with the evidence of the current review panel report suggesting the proponent’s plan does not adequately address concerns related to the preservation of Fish Lake. Aglukkaq also left the door open for another proposal on the project and said in a press release government will continue to make responsible resource development a priority and invites the submission of another proposal that addresses the government’s concerns. First Nations leaders, however, called for an end to the project entirely.

As part of its decision to reject Taseko Mines Ltd.’s New Prosperity Mine proposal, the federal Minister of the Environment, Leona Aglukkaq, concluded the proponent’s plan does not adequately address concerns related to the preservation of Fish Lake. “We are talking about one of the few areas in Canada to have a court declaration of proven Aboriginal rights, so it is no surprise that the government had to reject this,” Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William said. “Now is the time to make this decision the full and final rejection.” Many residents are “devastated” and “infuriated” with the decision, Cook said. “People are angry, and the de-
gree of that anger and frustration depends from person to person.” All of the projects on the city’s horizon such as Highway 97 upgrades, the hospital upgrades and the pool referendum are going to be even more important, Cook added. Barnett cited the decision as an economic blow to the region. “New Prosperity meant hundreds of good paying jobs,” Barnett said. The project meant families
could stay together in the Cariboo, rather than having to fly-in and fly-out to work in Alberta or Saskatchewan, she added. Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll criticized the federal government for being out of touch with the needs of rural communities and its own environmental review process, saying the process was flawed from the beginning.

Taseko remains committed Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The federal government’s decision to turn down New Prosperity is not the end, said Taseko Mines vice-president of corporate affairs. “We disagree with the decision made by the government of Canada. Saying no to this project is not acceptable to thousands of people in the Cariboo and is not acceptable to us,” Brian Battison said. “There is too much support
and too much logic and common sense supporting it.” Taseko will give consideration to other courses of action, he said, as well as follow through with the present judicial review filed by the company in November that is expected to take “many, many months.” Battison wouldn’t clarify “other courses of action” saying those are for another day, but said he felt the panel process was flawed.
“The federal government’s decision was also flawed because it’s based on a broken assessment process. The assessment panel was inconsistent with its application of due process.” Describing the environmental process as highly politicized, Battison said it divided the community. “We will challenge this decision and seek to have it overturned. A unique opportunity for generations of people has been compromised
by an ill-conceived process and a poorly managed agency.” Everybody is terribly disappointed in the federal government’s decision, he added. “It’s heart felt and genuine, the expressions of disappointment that I’ve heard all throughout yesterday evening and this morning and it continues.” Battison said Taseko feels badly and will protect the interest of its shareholders and the people of the Cariboo.
TNG: Prosperity mine rejection a relief Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The federal government’s decision to turn down the New Prosperity Mine is beyond his wildest belief, Tsilhqot’in Chief and tribal chair Joe Alphonse said Wednesday evening. “We hoped for the best, expected the worst. This is huge news for us.” Feeling vindicated, Alphonse said the federal government’s deci-
sion gives First Nations in the region faith in the environmental review process. “We’re thankful we’ve been heard and thankful we could deliver the message on behalf of our nation.” Alphonse said without the mine being developed, First Nations will be able to use the area in the way they feel most appropriate. In the near future, the Tsilhqot’in National Government will introduce its own mining
policies. “We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities.” The mine would have threatened Fish Lake, Alphonse added. The lesson people can learn from the entire process is the fact that no one group can be excluded when projects are being moved forward, Alphonse suggested. “That’s the challenge.

We need to be able to walk through each other’s doors and respect each other if we want to move forward.” Through the two project proposals and subsequent environmental assessment hearings, communities have been divided, he admitted. “We look forward to building and reestablishing relationships instead of being in a situation where one group is pitted against the other.”

AN APPLE A DAY... Meditation goes back thousands of years to Buddhist India. It is practiced today in Canada and one doctor studied the effect of meditation on high blood pressure. He taught a group of people to include yoga and meditation in their daily routine. Although his results didn’t show any lowering of blood pressure, the participants noted that it helped them relax and live with less stress. That’s a good outcome. In moving a baby from the bottle or breast to a cup, sippy cups are often used and work well. But they shouldn’t be overused. Allowing the child to drink all day from the cup filled with sugary drinks allows sugar to stay in the mouth longer increasing the risk of dental decay. Used too often they can possibly alter the position of the teeth. By the time the child is 2-3 years old, the sippy cup should be gone. There is a link between the amount of alcohol a persons drinks daily and the risk of getting certain types of cancers. The more you drink (wine, beer or spirits), the greater your risk of liver, mouth, colon and breast cancer. The risk of other cancers also rises. Bad breath is something that happens to others. But if it does happen to you, check your oral hygiene. Brush your teeth and tongue after eating. Floss well at least once daily. Dry mouth can contribute to bad breath so drink plenty of water. And if you are a smoker, quit. For advise on treating dry mouth, special dental aids or mouthwashes, talk to our pharmacy staff. We’d be glad to help.

Cariboo Chilcotin and Bella Coola early today to meet with us in Victoria next week.” Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business Naomi Yamamoto said she will be visiting the Cariboo-Chilcotin in a few weeks to meet with tourism operators. BC Ferries has committed to continue to marketing the circle tour and Destination BC has committed an additional $100,000 to market the region, Yamamoto said.

WE CHALLENGE YOU!
Police still seeking answers in Price disappearance Angie Mindus Staff Writer As the one-year anniversary of Gary Price’s disappearance comes and goes this week, there are still more questions than answers in the suspicious case. Price, 61 last year, vanished without a trace last February after taking a run to Likely for groceries from his remote home at Cariboo Lake. Despite not having any suspects or a body for that matter, members of the E Division North District Major Crime Unit were in the area this week pushing forward with the inves-
Gary Price tigation. “The file is very active … we want to find Gary,” said Williams Lake Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard. “We’re in close contact with the family –– every day I’m sure they’re hoping he’s
going to walk up the driveway, but unfortunately we don’t suspect that is going to happen.” After conducting several aerials and ground searches in the days following his disappearance, it didn’t take investigators long to suspect Price was met with foul play. Price’s truck was found about one kilometre from Likely on the Keithly Creek Road, pulled over on the shoulder, but pointed towards his home at Cariboo Lake on Feb. 23. Still inside the vehicle were Price’s groceries he had purchased
at the store, including food for his beloved cat that was waiting for his return at home. Once a guide outfitter, Price was adept at surviving for large periods of time in the wilderness. He kept to himself but was known as a polite and respectful man, and was reported missing by his siblings and extended family. Brissard said the RCMP are making progress in the case. “It’s definitely moving forward in the right direction.” Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP or CrimeStoppers.

conference where she was able to meet youth from larger centres that have youth council structures, although they are not always attached to local government. Mayor Cook told the youth it’s important for all people, especially youth, to realize their voice is important. “You have a different perspective, and background that you
bring, and anytime you have that opportunity to speak that out in a productive way is definitely adding and contributing.” “I know even myself, sitting with the group has changed my perspective in the way we do things,” Coun. Geoff Bourdon said. At its regular meeting Tuesday, council agreed the resolution should go to the NCGLA.

Heritage chicken farmers flock for holistic breeding LeRae Haynes
Special to Tribune/Advisor Three Cariboo women committed to holistic farming practices, as well as preserving heritage chickens for sustainable meat and eggs, have come together as partners in a unique venture. Danielle Kugelstadt from Snowvale Heritage Chicken in Big Lake, Danielle Kershaw from Kershaw Farm in Springhouse and Sarah Best from Phoenix Farm in 150 Mile House raise, breed and sell freerange heritage chickens and their eggs. The three women say that comparing hatchery birds and farm birds is like comparing apples and oranges, that hatchery birds have had hardiness and the ability to forage and reproduce without human intervention bred right out of them. “We’ve gotten to expect instant gratification, with birds that are born and bred to lay eggs or grow very quickly for meat — it’s all about huge production. People expect massive chickens

Best said. “If you take them outside they don’t know what to do. My chicken race outside the minute the door is opened, and some run for the back fence to start foraging.” Kershaw said that the eggs and meat from their heritage birds are free from antibiotics and hormones, and that the great taste is only one of the benefits. “We know what
they’ve been fed and where they come from,” she noted, adding that the difference in taste between hatchery and farm chickens is like the difference between a fresh garden carrot and one from a store. “If we don’t preserve these breeds we’re in big trouble — we lose genetic diversity,” Kugelstadt added. “Those brown, red and white chickens

people buy from their local feed stores have been bred out. “They all originated from breeds like ours, but now they burn out after a couple of years and die.” Phoenix Farms is now celebrating a year as an active business.
“I’ve had orders from P.E.I. and from New Brunswick, for the second year in a row. We have orders from all over, including Manitoba and Saskatchewan and have been invited to do a heritage chicken show in Alberta, where people in the industry are impressed with the caliber of our stock,” she said. Getting involved with heritage chickens is much more than great eggs and meat for the three women. Kershaw, who also raises meat rabbits, lambs, pigs and cattle, said that it reflects a way of life for them and their families. “My kids will know how to put food on their table,” Kugelstadt noted. “This is about teaching our children the value of each animal and how to feed and care for them. They will not be detached from their food source — they are emotionally invested in it.”

No advantage to longer terms This week’s announced increase to term lengths for municipal politicians and school trustees smacks of politicians helping their own. We see few benefits to moving civic elections to every four years from three, other than better alignment with provincial and federal elections. The majority of work done at a local level is undertaken by municipal staff as it is – not elected officials. That said, the province’s main justification for the change — “It provides opportunities for local government officials to understand their projects and to carry them through” – doesn’t jibe with the reality of local government. When a decision of this magnitude is made with no public consultation, we’re left wondering who this change truly benefits. And if it’s not the average B.C. resident, the province made the wrong decision. This move chips away at our democratic rights. Currently, the only power we have to formally pass judgment on our elected officials is an election. By having votes less frequently, we’re losing opportunities to hold our local politicians accountable for the decisions they

make. While the extra-curricular behaviour of Mayor Rob Ford may be an extreme example, it has left many Torontonians wondering what powers the public has to remove him from office. The silver lining with B.C.’s latest announcement is a promise to study legislative amendments that would make booting problem politicians more feasible. It’s no secret public engagement in municipal politics is low and voter turnout abysmal. Many communities also struggle to find quality municipal candidates. We fear this change will exacerbate both problems. A lot can change in four long years. We don’t want to see good would-be politicians deterred by the time commitment of working a low-paying, largely thankless job. The only people we’ve seen advocating for extending the term are politicians themselves, not the public.

Optimism shown at Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association AGM As I’ve often stated, though it is the shortest month on the calendar February can often seem very much the lengthiest on Cariboo cattle establishments. By now producers are bored with the repetition of daily feeding chores and quite honestly, in need of a bit of fresh company; longing for a few signs indicating the onset of spring. They will seize almost any opportunity (excuse) to get away from the place, if only for a few short hours! A mid-month cattle sale at BC

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan Livestock Co-op yards was an apt illustration. On Feb. 13, as I approached the turnoff to Cattle Drive from Highway 97, I was shocked to see an already jam-packed parking lot.
Most of the space was taken by oversize farm vehicles, the Stockmen’s Cafe was crowded, almost all of the ringside seats in the auction arena had butts planted in them and an excited, anticipatory buzz hummed through the place. Local cattlemen/women had turned up in droves; with cattle to sell, to get a read on the current-market-prices, many more just for the chance to have a good chin-wag with like-minded souls. It was a good day with prices
on the high-end. The producers pocketing cheques were downright gleeful as they scurried back to homebase bearing happy news. Optimism was present in good supply. That feeling carried over into the next week, obvious by attendance numbers at the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association — annual general meeting held (February 20) in Williams Lake. Most seats were occupied, the meeting followed the usual pattern; adoption of agenda, previ-
ous minutes, reports, etc. Then introduction of new concepts/programs awakened interest; one of which was a proposed new agriculture-based course of studies (TRU, Williams Lake campus/planning stages) which is intended to be an innovative offering derived with direct input from local operators to the needs/requirements applicable to local agricultural production.

It’s over; Kenny Rogers said it best look ahead Taseko could learn from Canada’s women’s hockey team Editor:
Editor: Canada’s gold winning women’s hockey team should be a lesson for us all, as the words in Kenny Rogers song The Gambler, “You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.” The United States had won the hockey game, most watchers will agree, and then in the almost dying moments of the game, the tables turned. As long as mineral is in the ground Taseko Mines Ltd. has not lost the game, either. I liken it to moose hunting. Out every day, you see the sign. You absolutely know there are moose out there, you almost feel like you are being
taunted, day after day with no luck. Do you give up? Do you decide you are wasting your time? No, just like the women’s hockey team you never give up, and sure enough you eventually get your moose. The Federal Minister of Environment, Leona Aglukkaq, has turned down Taseko’s current bid to establish the mine in the environmental method that Taseko was proposing, however, in doing so the Minister has clearly stated, in my opinion, that if the environmental issues can be satisfactorily mitigated then again, in my opinion, the mine development could proceed. It’s like having a driver’s li-
cense, as long as we meet the required criteria and follow the established rules of the road we are allowed to drive. One of the major environmental objections was possible leakage from the tailings pond. It may cost a mining company millions of dollars, however, this issue with the installation of an impervious membrane can be dealt with. When objections are raised mining companies like Taseko, view them as just another bump in the road. What Taseko does at this point will most likely be up to the Taseko shareholders. Taseko shareholders may say enough is enough, let’s cut our losses and put the project up for sale.
A new owner having purchased the mine at possible fire sale prices, may be quite prepared to spend the required millions of dollars to meet and overcome the environmental concerns as established in the review process. Taseko, on the other hand, could itself decide that the environmental requirements have been clearly enunciated, and go ahead on that basis. The review process has instructed Taseko the environmentally how of the mine proceeding. To be sure, as in the Kenny Rogers song, the dealing is not, as yet done. Doug Wilson Williams Lake
A plea for help to renew gun licence Editor: Open letter to the Honourable Suzanne Anton, Attorney General, Solicitor General. I am writing this letter to see if you can help me obtain my renewal for my PAL from the RCMP. I mailed my renewal form in December 2012. In January of 2013 I phoned the RCMP in Miramichi to check. They told me everything was fine and they had renewed it and sent it to the RCMP in Surrey and that I could call them and that’s what I did.
That’s when I was told by the RCMP in Surrey that they wouldn’t send it to me until they have investigated me. They also said I now had to fill out forms to be a gun collector. Most of my collection is more than 100 years old from the First World War. They have been investigating me now for going into the second year. In this time the RCMP has told me that I cannot pack a gun, so my hunting licence was a total waste of money. During this time whenever I called the RCMP in Surrey I continued to ask what have I
done wrong. They keep saying you have done nothing wrong, but we have to investigate you. In July 2013 a package of new forms from the RCMP program in Kamloops arrived, asking me to complete them which I did and returned them July 29, 2013. Five months later a letter arrived from the RCMP in Kamloops telling me I didn’t make it plain enough why I want to be a collector and also claimed that I had not answered all of the questions, which I had. If the forms are not redone and returned to Kamloops by Feb. 28, 2014 my application will
not be processed. I am wondering what the next step of the RCMP will be if my application file is closed. I have no PAL. I paid more than $100 going on two years ago and my cheque was cashed in December 2012. I can’t carry a gun, can’t hunt. So will the next step be the RCMP will come to take my property? I understand as solicitor general you are my last hope to help me with this problem with the RCMP firearms program. Charles Douglas Riske Creek
In view of the unconditional rejection of New Prosperity Mine by federal environment minister Leona Aglukkaq and the Conservative cabinet, several Cariboo-Chilcotin civic, provincial, and federal politicians should be taken to task for blindly following the wishes of Taseko Mines Ltd. Provincial mines minister Bill Bennett, who ignored the doubts of his own ministry, is in an impossible position. His unabashed advocacy in the face of scientific evidence that indicated the New Prosperity Mine plan could not work makes us question his fitness for his job. He should resign. It was apparent throughout the debate that none of these elected officials had followed the technical hearings in any detail, let alone understood them and the conclusions drawn by the independent panel. Nor did they care. This can only be described as wilful blindness that misled many to expect a different outcome. A careful reading of the CEAA news release and report reveals little, if any, grounds for a renewed application for this project. It is, for all intents and purposes, dead. There will be noises from the company and grumbling from politicians and supporters, but it is really over. We urge politicians and mine supporters to now work toward a sustainable economic vision for the region based on our natural splendours, not the destruction of natural resources. This must be done in partnership with First Nations. It is their vision that promises a sustainable future. We have an opportunity here now and I urge mayors, MLAs and MPs to get on board. David Williams President Friends of the Nemaiah Valley
Disappointed in rejection of New Prosperity Mine Words can’t describe the range of emotion I’ve felt since the federal government’s no decision on the $1.5-billion New Prosperity mine. It is a far greater feeling than disappointment, and for many residents, I know this is devastating and infuriating news. Williams Lake and the Cariboo will feel the effects of this decision more than anywhere else in the country. The federal government has sent some strong messages throughout the nation with this decision. We’ve consistently said we support responsible resource development, and the people of the Cariboo will be watching future decisions very
From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook carefully. It is not a productive use of anyone’s time to point fingers. If there is anything I know about people in the Cariboo it is that we are resilient and we don’t give up. We got through the first no decision on the Prosperity mine in 2010, we
got through mill closures, and we will get through this. Obviously, there is no replacement for a New Prosperity, but we all have a choice on how we move forward. My choice is to not let disappointment or disillusionment get in the way of the work we as community leaders need to do. That work has already started. I have had discussions with Taseko Mines, MP Dick Harris, MLA Donna Barnett, and Minister Coralee Oakes. Minister Oakes will be at City Hall today (Friday) to discuss this matter further. Thanks to the Rotary Club for stepping up with a vision and great
ideas to make Boitanio Park a safer and more accessible place. Club representatives came as a delegation to a Committee of the Whole meeting and described ideas to add carriage lights, a small garden, historical signs, and a new paved path for people with mobility issues. Staff will work together with the Rotary Club to come up with a business plan. This would be a large, multi-year project, but would provide great benefits for the park. I’m looking forward to seeing what this partnership can produce! Way to go Carey! What a great time early Sunday morning cheer-
ing on Carey Price and Team Canada with 75 others in the Gibraltar Room! People were dressed in their bright red and white, with Canadian flags in hand. We were able to come alongside the community of Anahim Lake to cheer on a local hero. Carey’s dedication, hard work, and calm under pressure attitude are an example for all of us. Thanks to everyone who braved the dark and cold to come down to the Complex to join in the celebration! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

A taste of flavourful Thai cuisine My interest in Thai dishes surged recently when I took in two cooking courses at Blue Lagoon Cooking school, Koh Chang Thailand. I have been going to the same school over the years, because I always learn different recipes each time and more excited about Thai food, its history and presentation. The instructor and my best Thai friend, Ya, is a very gracious lady with a great knowledge of Thai Food, it’s history and the role that spices, herbs and plants play in their cooking. ‘Ya’ is her nickname and that’s what I always call her... has now written a 100 page

Appeal court stays order to reorganize schools Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the government in 2002. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation allows stability for parents and students while negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues. The decision provides a “stable environment” for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said.

Blackbird Antiques a treasure trove Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer You don’t have to like old things to enjoy antiques. If you paint them all white they take on a whole new modern look. And in most cases antiques are made of solid wood that has already stood the test of time and survived. But if you ask Jennifer Schachtel and her husband, Brian Garten, who opened Blackbird Antiques in November, most antique furniture is best enjoyed just the way it is, perhaps with a little buffing and polishing. “What we have learned over the years is that there is so much more character and quality in antiques than most of the mass produced modern furniture today,” Jennifer says. “The pieces are usually solid wood and they have lasted 150 years or more in some cases.” Jennifer and Brian decided to turn their own passion for antiques into an antique store in Williams Lake when they realized the city no longer had one and their own home was filled to overflowing with the antiques they had lovingly collected over the years. “Now we can spend some time with the pieces we really love, enjoy them for a while and then let them go to someone else who will enjoy them too,” Jennifer says. “It does become an addiction.”

Jennifer Schachtel and Brian Garten with one of the bigger, intricately decorated pieces in their new Blackbird Antiques shop. Brian adds: “Antiques have a certain warmth to them because they have already been lived with.” They collect their antiques by visiting estate sales and with antique dealers in larger centres such as Vancouver and Kelowna. “It feels good to bring something unique back to Williams Lake,” Jennifer says. “That’s exciting.” At the same time she
says they try to bring in things that are affordable for people. They carry everything from a large more expensive hutch with stained glass doors, to more moderately priced tables, chairs, lounges, sideboards, and wardrobes
to little things such as antique crimping and curling irons. “We have been all over the countryside and believe we have the best prices and choices on everything from funky little tables and chairs to the large high quality pieces,” Brian
says. They also carry antiques from local people to sell on consignment. Jennifer also has some interesting tips on how antiques might be used in the home. For instance a travel trunk turned on its end with the addition of glass shelves makes a wonderful display case. A beautifully decorated china cup looks beautiful with a tea light glowing in it. And a sideboard that was originally built for a dining room makes a great desk or dressing table with a mirror hung behind it. Blackbird Antiques is located on Broadway North right next to Total Pet. Brian has also moved his Praying Mantis Tattoo studio into the space next door to their antique store. Brian and Jennifer were both born and raised in Williams Lake and have two daughters Madison, 17, and Mariah, 14. Brian has been a noted tattoo artist in the lakecity for 20 years. Jennifer also continues to work part time as a care aid at the Seniors Village. If she is called to work during the day you will likely find Brian’s mom, Arlene, welcoming visitors to the store.

Spiritually and Lifestyle Our physical and spiritual health is intrinsically linked. God created us to enjoy life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and how we respond to each area affects the other. Most Christians do not realize that the Bible is not only a spiritual book telling us about God’s grace but it is also one of the best health books on the planet. Humans are a complex and diverse creation with several interconnected components. A wholeness lifestyle is where all these components function as balanced as possible. The original Biblical word for salvation includes the concept of wholeness. Jesus himself said,“I come that you may have life and to have it more abundantly.” Jesus is talking about now as well as in his future eternal kingdom. Salvation includes deliverance from sin and brokenness but it also includes healing in all areas of life physically, emotionally and spiritually. Jesus death on the cross delivers us from sin and its results, including death. The transformation the gospel brings involves the ability to choose the best lifestyle practices. Especially choices that help us better respond to God and one another. This is practical spirituality. For example, research today demonstrates that driving sleep deprived is as dangerous as driving intoxicated. Driving tired is dangerous and equal to being impaired with alcohol or drugs. Chronic tiredness also lessens our ability to respond to God and leaves us more open to temptation.
PARSONS PEN
BY CAMERON JOHNSTON The solution to both is adequate rest including good sleep, which we can choose. Did you know that eating too much, of even good food, can rob you of the blessings of a powerful worship service or your quiet time with God. The physiology is quite simple, when you eat, blood moves to your stomach to deal with the food. Excessive food requires more blood thus reducing blood to the brain. The brain is a blood hog and to function well it needs huge amounts of blood circulating well. Less available blood makes your brain sluggish. You become sleepy, less alert and less open to God’s presence and His still small voice. Simple lifestyle changes can reverse major lifestyle illnesses including heart
disease and diabetes. Charlie, a Buffalo farmer in Alberta, came to Silver Hills, a lifestyle center in the Okanagan, with shortness of breath, heart palpitations and full blown heart disease. He had already experienced two major heart operations over ten years. He had sold his farm, retired and came to the Okanagan to find a place to live where his wife would be safe and happy after his death which they expected within months. Arriving at Silver Hills Charlie’s recovery program began immediately. He could only walk very slowly for a short distance without pain, about the length of one telephone pole. With encouragement, instruction, proper exercise, serious changes in diet, adequate rest, fresh air, lots of water and prayer, within weeks he cut his medication and dropped his nitro spray completely and cancelled an upcoming heart surgery. Three months later, after two hours of walking with his wife, she put her foot down saying, “I’m getting tired, I need to go back!” He experienced an amazing recovery and has been enjoying life with energy and enthusiasm now for years. This happens regularly at Silver Hills and in a variety of programs worldwide. Health and wholeness is a Biblical principle which directly relates to our spiritually. God’s simple health guidelines give life and healing. “I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 3 John 1:2 (NIV)

TRU gala on track for sellout With all the glitz and glamour of its Let’s Go Gatsby roaring 20s theme organizers are on track to selling out the university’s annual fundraising gala coming up March 29. Even at $120 per person, the gala committee believes this year’s event will be a sellout and advises people to get their tickets soon. Decorator extraordinaire, Julie Vincent is back and her ideas are bigger than ever. “The entire auditorium is going to be over the top,” Vincent says. “Eight-foot balloons and gorgeous gold walls. I’m very excited for it to all come together.” It’s not only the decor that people will have to look forward to. Vancouver’s top dance party band, March Hare is returning. “They are one of the most entertaining bands you will ever experience,” says gala co-ordinator Jacquie
Gatsby inspired jewellery for this year’s TRU Let’s Go Gatsby TRU Gala is now available to help raise funds for the annual fundraiser. Pieces are on display at TRU and available for a minimum donation of $5. Johnston. “They do multiple costume changes and have sets that are suitable for all ages. “They did two encores last year because people didn’t want it to end!” The silent auction items will be plentiful and the food will be delicious. The whole theme comes together with a 1920s inspired, over
the top menu, catered by The Ramada Williams Lake, and fit for one of Jay Gatsby’s lavish parties complete with pre-dinner cocktails. The gala is organized by TRU GRIT, a group of business people dedicated to giving back to their community by raising money for student scholarships and awards that will help to support
students studying at the Williams Lake Campus. The past few galas have raised $50,000, enough to offer 22 local students scholarships and awards. This year the TRU GRIT group hopes to it will raise $30,000 for the scholarship fund. The community has made it clear that they stand behind the gala and want to support the local university. TD Bank has stepped up for the third consecutive year to be the presenting sponsor. Additonally, the Williams Lake Log Haulers Association, DWB Consulting Services, Williams Lake District & Credit Union, and Joe Augustine Contracting have all come forward with sponsorship to help make the gala possible. Tickets for this year’s gala can be purchased online at tru.ca/ williamslake/gala or by calling the university at 250-392-8048.

Groundwater, Graden, claim joint bonspiel titles Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Just days after Brad Jacobs and Jennifer Jones skipped Canada to Olympic curling gold medals, members of the Williams Lake Curling Club were looking to claim titles of their own. The annual Men’s and Ladies’ Joint Bonspiel, held over the weekend at the WLCC from Feb. 21-23, saw 16 ladies’ teams and eight men’s teams square off in the first local bonspiel of the season. Teams played down in a bracket-style draw to determine seedings into each of an ‘A,’ ‘B,’ and ‘C,’ division. On the ladies’ ‘A’ side it was the Simone Groundwater rink of Laura Ball (third),
Yvonne Leclerc (second) and Jessica Ball (lead) edging the Paige Gudbranson rink of Michelle Ball (third), Erin Frederick (second) and Debbie Rand (lead) 9-4 after six ends. For the men’s ‘A’ title Kamloops’ Ron Graden (better known by local curlers as Dr. Love), Steve Day (third), Williams Lake’s Todd Jensen (second) and lead Dale Luck hammered the Roger Kaleta (third) rink of Gary Stene (skip, Penticton), Bruce Jacques (second) and Don Coombes (lead). The ‘B’ event saw Williams Lake’s Leona Mckay defeat the Barb Hodder rink from Ashcroft, while the men’s ‘B’ final featured a tight draw between Williams Lake’s
Mark Law and Robert Gudbranson rinks. Law, Rick Formo (third), Colin Smith (second) and Mike Pederson (lead) managed to edge the Gudbranson rink of Ryan Folz (third), Mike Gatenby (second) and Frank Giesbrecht (lead). In the ‘C’ event the local Ken Teskey rink of Ken Kvist (third), Steve Kozuki (second) and Bill Fawcett (lead) beat Ian Lanki’s rink of Dave Whitwell (third), Darrell Swan (second) and John Hoyrup (lead). And on the ladies’ ‘C’ side it was Quesnel’s Evelyn Lawson rink defeating Liz Salle’s rink from Williams Lake. Next up for the WLCC is the Open Mixed Bonspiel from March 15-17.

Bantams, peewees, qualify for provs Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Both the tier two bantam and peewee Williams Lake Timberwolves were on the top of their games over the weekend, each qualifying for the B.C. Provincial Hockey Championships next month. The teams now join the tier two Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves, who advanced earlier in the month after beating Prince George, 3-2 and 3-1, in two games straight. On Saturday in Williams Lake fans were treated to a downto-the-wire thriller as the bantam T-wolves put away the Prince George Cougars, 3-2, in triple overtime of game two of the bestof-three Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association playoffs. Daine Dubois was the hero, going top shelf from tight in after a shot off the draw by Will Paynton. Cody Swan picked up the assist on the faceoff win, Paynton fired a shot the Prince George netminder wasn’t able to handle, and Dubois buried the rebound under the crossbar. Both Dubois (2G) and Payton (2A) picked up two points in the contest to lead the Timberwolves. Hayden Lyons was

Tier two bantam Williams Lake Timberwolves player Daine Dubois pots the game-winning goal in triple overtime after a shot by Will Paynton off a draw won by Cody Swan. The goal punched the Timberwolves’ ticket to next month’s provincial championship. solid for the Timberwolves between the pipes, picking up the win. Bantam T-wolves’ head coach Brad Thomas said it was an exciting end to a great performance by his team. “We told the kids after the overtime you can play hockey, or any sport your entire life or whole career, and never play a tripleovertime game you can win like that,” Thomas said. “But the second game was a little closer than a guy wanted. We had our chances, definitely both games. Maybe we started out a little slow but come the second or third period we were able to outshoot and outplay them.” In game one of the CAHA playoff finals on Friday the bantam
Timberwolves doubled the Cougars, 6-3. Paynton (3G) and Dylen McNeil (1G, 2A) both tallied three points, while Trey Thomas, Conley Pinette and Brett Alexander each chipped in two points. The tier two bantam provincials go March 16-21 in Mission. Thomas added the team hopes to put forward a strong showing at the tournament. “We’re going to be competitive, but we’ll have to be at the top of our game to beat some of those teams,” he said. For the peewee Timberwolves, their path to the provincial tournament was a similar one. Also facing Prince George, the T-wolves rattled off back-toback wins to advance. The T-wolves shellacked the Cougars on
Friday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex in Williams Lake, 8-3, to qualify for the tournament. Scoring for the Twolves was spread around as both Grady Thomas and Jacob Jackson found the twine twice, with Brendan Pigeon, Ty Sanford, Raeyden Beauchamp and Sam Powers each chipping in singles. Assists in the game went to Powers (2), Cade Enns (2), Lane Paddison, Pigeon, Malakai Andy, Jackson and Beauchamp. In game one of the best-of-three the peewee Timberwolves skated to a 5-2 victory. Paddison, Pigeon, Jackson, Andy and Thomas tallied for the T-wolves in the winning effort, while Pigeon and Paddison chipped in assists.

Katie McMahen and Andrea Gustafson Special to Tribune/Advisor More than 80 people laced up their soccer boots Feb. 14-15 at Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus for an action-packed, 24-hour soccer extravaganza. Eight local co-ed teams of all ages competed, providing crowdpleasing soccer during the Fourth Annual Co-Ed Valentine’s Day Indoor Soccer Tournament. In the finals it was 150 Mile Tire and the Honey Badgers meeting for the second time in the tournament, after having tied in round robin play.

In collaboration with Success by 6 and Children First, the Early Childhood Development Network (ECDN) is hoping to raise awareness of the importance of developmental screening of preschoolers. A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool, they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire. You can get a simple questionnaire from your early learning and care provider including: StrongStart, Public Health, Child Development Centre (CDC), Pregnancy Outreach Program, Child Care Resource & Referral (CCRR), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Preschools, Denisiqi & Cariboo Friendship Society.

The Horsefly 4-H Club has submitted two videos for Canada’s Shout Out For Ag! 2014 contest at http://enter.4-h-canada.ca. To vote for our club’s video, choose one of the two links below and look for the name of the submitter, Victor Khong, click on confirm vote for Victor Khong, the video links are “We joined 4-H because...” or “We want to pursue a career in agriculture because...”. I had the honour this past month to be a judge for the 4-H speeches on Saturday February 15th at our community hall. With a gathering of about 60 people, including 6 Judges and 3 Timekeepers. We enjoyed an amazing afternoon of entertainment. We had 16 children participate from our 4-H club, some are in the Cloverbuds, others are Juniors & Seniors. Speeches from the 16 children ranged from speaking on giraffes to the titanic! It was clear that they did many hours of practicing! We were also treated to 2 demos that afternoon, one by Vivien & Gwenna Meyrick on Dying Wool with Koolaid, the other was Salad In A Jar by Garrett & Anna Best (this salad keeps for up to 7 days in the fridge!) Both groups demonstrated their ideas with amazing showmanship and great communication skills! At the close of the

Hanna Yahnke & Anna Best afternoon we were treated to more impromptu speeches! Amazing! The children only have 2 minutes to come up with a speech on a specific subject, this year the subject was Comfort Food! I was completely amazed with all of them, and had some great laughs! 4-H children learn many skills with the club. They learn how to raise and care for animals from birth to sale. They keep records of there progress with the animals by taking pictures and documenting, in there own books along the way! They learn to share and care along this process, teaching them about responsibilities, working in a team environment as well as growing as young individuals. After judging the speeches, I see they are all gaining great communication skills, I’m sure will help them in leadership roles in there future lives! Two local young ladies won district awards this past year for there record books, Hanna Yahnke won 3rd place
in the seniors group and, Anna Best won first place in the juniors group. These young ladies competed against 200+ children. (Way to go!!). The 4-H group would not exist without the many leaders and parents that have helped along the way! 4-H was started in Horsefly by Lloyd Antypowich in the early 80’s with one other leader Doug Best. We have a couple of leaders right now John Hollan communications leader involved with club since 1993, and Linda Bartsh who has been involved since 1995. They had there children in 4-H years ago and have continued to support the club and the children! Great community spirit! Don’t forget to vote for our Horsefly 4-H!!! Other stuff from the Fly! Anvil Pub put on a great Valentines Dinner, Crystal and her girls did an amazing job! The pub has Open Mic Night in March on the 15th and Texas Holdem on the 8th & 22nd. I also have heard that Horsefly will be having a 10 km fun run in May! I will keep you posted on the details and let you know what else is happening out here! Until next month Cheers Dianna.
