Medical marijuana proposed in industrial zones Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District doesn’t think medical marijuana operations belong on rural properties near where people are living. Last Friday the board gave second reading to a proposed bylaw that would relegate medical marijuana operations exclusively to heavy industrial areas. “If you’ve located your home near a heavy industrial site it

wouldn’t be a big surprise, but if an operation is established on a rural property, you could end up with a clash with the neighbourhood potentially,” CRD chair Al Richmond said. Now the board is hoping to find out if the public agrees. “Our concern is if we provide nowhere for them to go, operators might use things like the right to farm act to go wherever they wish,” Richmond said. “It’s a fine line, but what the

directors have suggested is if we provide them somewhere to operate, and it’s on industrial land, then there will be better separation been them and residents and other locales.” It would be a better fit in heavy industrial areas, he added. Within the CRD, most areas have industrial lands, but not all. Citing Area G for example, Richmond described the industrial area at 93 Mile, where there’s log home building, RV storage,

commercial and industrial storage. “They are already there and people could apply to use them, but we want to find out if there is public support for that.” To date the CRD has received at least six applications for medical marijuana commercial licenses so it will become an issue for the region. Public consultation about the bylaw will begin in about a month, Richmond said.

Police dog hero in rescue of lost man Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer An elderly man is home safe and warm after becoming disoriented then lost during a long walk with his dog Sunday. On March 9 at 8:15 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP received a report that 80-year-old Brian Hinton had not returned home after going for a walk with his dog. “He reportedly left his residence in 150 Mile House at 4 p.m.

but had not been seen since,” the RCMP said. Family members were concerned because Hinton suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and the temperature was falling rapidly. RCMP, along with Search and Rescue, 150 Mile House Fire Department and Police Service dog Clive were called to assist in locating Hinton. At 10:30 p.m. RCMP dog handler, Corp. Gord Rutherford and police dog Clive, located Hinton and his dog

Kody on a trail a few kilometers away from the house. Hinton appeared to be suffering from hypothermia and was unable to walk. After notifying family and emergency crews that Hinton had been located Rutherford carried him out on his back, through the deep snow for quite a long distance. Hinton was later transported to the Cariboo Memorial Hospital where he received medical atten-

tion. Hinton’s wife Beverly said her husband was so cold and wet, he wouldn’t have lasted another hour. “He didn’t have a jacket on and his sweater was drenched,” she said. Hinton had dropped his chap stick and that was one of the first things the dog picked up on, Bev added. “The outcome was so wonderful,” Bev said. “This is a small and amazing community.”

Legal fees soar for the city in 2013 given unusual events Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The $300,000 paid for legal fees in 2013 by the City of Williams Lake is not at a level the city hopes to see continued in 2014, said Mayor Kerry Cook. “2013 was an unusual year,” Cook told

the Tribune Friday. “Negotiating the strike by city workers cost almost $100,000.” Another $30,000 was expended when the city and the Cariboo Regional District negotiated the Williams Lake Rural Fire Protection agreements, Cook confirmed, while a “large portion” went

toward city personnel issues, which Cook said she could not elaborate on. A five-year comparison of 2013’s legal fees showed $109,645 was spent in 2012, $89,827 in 2011, $113,505 in 2010, $155,615 in 2009 and $72,896 in 2008. The city also confirmed it has hired

a consultant to do a workplace climate review of all city work sites. Approval for hiring the consultant did not go through a council meeting and the city could not confirm if the consultant’s report would be made public because of privacy concerns.

Community forest agreement gets final approval Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A community forest agreement with the city of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band has been approved by the provincial government. Spanning 29,000 hectares, the agreement covers two sites: Ne-sextsine, or Flat Rock, which is just west of the city and Peskwenkwinem, or Potato Mountain, which is located between the Likely and Horsefly Roads.

“It’s a great opportunity for both the city and band to deepen their relationship as business partners and neighbours,” Mayor Kerry Cook said citing the project as a way to further diversify the local economy and create more business for the region. Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said the agreement helps the T’exelcemc people achieve a vision of working in unity to strengthen its Secwepemc culture.

“We have a very good relationship with the city and we will continue to work together to build economic opportunities to ensure the sustainability of our local forests,” Louie said. With a total allowable annual cut on the two sites of 40,000 cubic metres or 800 truckloads of logs, all surplus revenues of the Limited Partnership will be shared equally between the band and the city. Louie said the band and city are working

with community representatives to arrange a public meeting to discuss the community forest. Meanwhile, Cariboo Regional District Area F Director Joan Sorley said residents living near the eastern block are disappointed. In the past two years, a working committee representing Big Lake, Horsefly and Miocene has advocated for a greater role in the CFA. More than 100 people from those communities have attended every commu-

nity meeting about the CFA. “A resident told me the approval is sad news, it was obvious no one was listening and what a waste of time it had been to gather as concerned citizens.” Sorley had originally promised to support the CF if the working committee’s four conditions were met, but the first three were denied, she said. They included a seat on the CFA board elected from the communities, more money, that the resource com-

mittee membership be limited to those communities impacted by the CFA, and consultation around the annual setting of priorities of cut-blocks, to ensure the community’s priorities are met. “I have approached the Mayor and Chief Ann and asked if we could meet and talk about whether there is some common ground,” Sorley said. “Maybe we can come up with something to take to the communities that we can support.”

Working committee member David Zirnhelt said the communities haven’t had the opportunity to define themselves throughout the planning stages of the CFA. “Contrary to the spirit of the legislation around community forests, which was to let communities work out what the opportunities are and lay claim, all along there’s been a reluctance by the proponents to get into an open public dialogue with the communities,” he said.

Mt. Caribou strategy deadline for public input coming up Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The public has until March 18 to respond to Environment Canada’s proposed recovery strategy for the Woodland Caribou, Southern Mountain population. On Friday Darcy Peel from Environment Canada in Kamloops, appeared before the Cariboo Regional District board to provide information on the proposed strategy. “The goal identified in the recovery strategy is to achieve self-sus-

Darcy Peel (right) from Environment Canada in Kamloops, talks with the CRD about the Mt. Caribou strategy. taining local populations in all boreal caribou ranges throughout

Canada,” Peel said. “We are seeking advice on the population and dis-

tribution of caribou on your lands.” Peel’s presentation focused on the Species at Risk Act, the 60-day public comment period about the proposed recovery strategy, and the Critical Habitat of the Caribou. After the public feedback period ends, it will likely result in a much larger area being described as critical habitat and if the strategy becomes law, then it will be unlawful to destroy critical habitat. When asked about specific threats to wood-

land caribou, Peel listed several factors including heli-skiing, mining, logging, snowmobiling and pipelines, but said natural elements, such as climate change and avalanches, are also having “devastating” impacts. In some areas in Canada, herds are so devastated there is no hunting allowed, even by First Nations. Further information about the recovery strategy for the Woodland Caribou is available online at sararegistry. gc.ca.

CRD endorses idle-free education program Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Restored phone service to areas beyond cell phone range and the need for more idle-free awareness are covered in the two resolutions the Cariboo Regional District is forwarding the North Central Local Government Association in 2014. “When telephones are down because of power outages, people are often told to use their cell

phones, but people living in remote areas don’t have access to cell services,” CRD chair Al Richmond said. Consideration needs to be given by Telus to people living in outside areas. Areas that are unserviced don’t have access to 911 or fire protection if phones are down. “This is not an effort to put more rules and regulations in place,” CRD chair Al Richmond said of the idle-free

awareness. Instead it’s about encouraging people to turn off their vehicles when they are idling for long periods of time. It’s difficult when it’s -40 C, because drivers want to keep warm,

ing for people to be educated about the health risks.” If approved, the resolutions will be considered at the NCLGA conference taking place May 7 - 9 in Fort St. John.

Sing Me A Song

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week What benefits are provided by the proposed upgrades? The upgrades to the pool will increase the number and quality of swims for residents by adding a large amount of shallow, warm leisure water that is preferred by young children, families and seniors. Modern design features like a ‘lazy river’ will also be useful for rehabilitation therapy. The replacement of the main pool tank will include flush gutters for easy access as well as a ramp entry for persons with low mobility. The tank rebuild will permanently fix the pool leaks, which in turn will reduce costs for water treatment and chemicals. The addition of multi-purpose fitness space to a second floor will allow for a wide variety of activity programs and basic training equipment.

The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, is pleased to present a new program to promote music and community spirit across the province. “Sing Me A Song” is an opportunity for musical groups of all ages and genres to write and sing an original song in the lead up to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017. Groups are encouraged to write a song about what Canada’s 150th Birthday means to them or their community. Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of musicians from around the province and an award of $1,000 will be granted annually in each of three age categories. Entries will be posted on the Lieutenant Governor’s website and YouTube channel to be viewed by all British Columbians. Whether it is a school or community choir or other amateur musical group, all submissions must have a minimum of 15 voices and musical accompaniment is welcome. Each song must be original content, no longer than five minutes in length, and be based on the Canada 150 themes. For younger age groups adults may assist in the creation of the musical content. Musicality, spirit, and originality are highly encouraged. Songs for the 2014 competition must be submitted by May 7, 2014.

Women’s day honours great educator

Go Canada, go!

Beating Spring Break Up

ast Saturday was International Women’s Day. The Women’s Contact Society celebrated the day with an event at TRU which saw June Streigler honoured as the “Woman of Heart.” Mrs. Streigler has a long history as a teacher of both children and adults, and she is, without doubt, the Cariboo Chilcotin’s number one educator. Also on Saturday, nationally known award winning filmmaker Helen Haig-Brown showed her new documentary, My Legacy, at the Gibraltar Room. French Ms. HaigConnection Brown is from the Diana French Yunesit’in (Stone Reserve) community in the Chilcotin. There are some who wonder why, in this day and age, we need an International Woman’s Day. Women in B.C. were given the right to vote in 1917, and were accepted as persons under the BNA Act a few years later. Women have certainly come a long way since then, but there are still issues on the gender scene. Most of our Canadian business leaders and politicians are men. I don’t know if the world would be a better place if women ran things, probably not, but I am surprised that so many women politicians are silent on the subject of the hundreds of Canadian women who have been murdered or gone missing. A federal committee looking into Violence Against Indigenous Women recently came up with 16 recommendations for action, but a national inquiry was not one of them. Justice Minister Peter MacKay says further studies would be a mistake. I can’t help wondering if it would make a difference to him if the missing people were men. B.C. has its share of missing/murdered women, including the Pickton victims and those lost on the Highway of Tears. Along with concern over the victims, shouldn’t there be some worry about the perpetrators? Who are they? Pickton was caught, most are not. Why not? A national inquiry might shed some light on that question. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

A new era for liquor Liquor sales in retail stores are one step closer, with the provincial government unveiling some details about the standalone outlets which can be located within existing grocery stores. Liquor will not be sold in corner or convenience stores, which removes one of the concerns of those who opposed selling liquor beyond the existing sales network. Most convenience stores simply do not have the staff to oversee that the sales of such products conform to the desire to keep them out of the hands of minors. While it is true that such stores sell tobacco products, that is something they have always done. Still, infractions do occur. Those who currently hold private liquor store licences, which generally go to those with pub licences, will be able to move their licences (presumably via sale or lease) into grocery stores. The current restriction that licences must be for businesses within a five-kilometre limit will be lifted. Wisely, the government recognizes that this move gives an economic benefit to licence holders, and wants them to pay a transfer fee.

The standalone stores will be in larger grocery stores — not in standalone buildings, as is the case in Alberta. This makes a lot of sense. Customers will be able to put groceries and liquor in their carts, but must pay for their liquor in designated checkout lines. This move brings an era of civility to liquor sales. It will be wonderful to be able to pair liquor, particularly wine and beer, with food and get some expert advice on those pairings within stores, as is the case at some of the best U.S. grocery stores. One step towards promoting B.C.-made beer, wine and spirits is to allow for pointof-sale demonstrating, tasting and advice. While this does take place in liquor stores now, it can be expanded greatly within the confines of a larger grocery store selling a wide variety of products. Sales of liquor in grocery stores begin in 2015. B.C. is entering an exciting era of treating liquor as a product to be fully enjoyed with meals and in social settings, in moderation. - Langley Times

anada had an incredible run at the Olympics last month in Sochi. We proudly wore our Team Canada gear and cheered on our athletes as they competed for gold. While there were some upsets, we were impressed by the talents of every single one of our athletes. Many of us were so dedicated that many of us tuned in at work to watch our women’s Olympic hockey team clinch a close victory against the U.S. Here in B.C., we even woke up at 4 a.m. to watch our men’s Olympic hockey team win gold against Sweden. However, the excitement from Sochi is not over just yet. From now until March 16, some of the most talented athletes from across Canada are competing in the MLA 2014 Sochi ParaMusings lympics. Coralee Oakes British Columbians have a history of Paralympic excellence and we have contributed many great athletes to the Canadian Paralympic team, including my caucus colleague and friend, Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stillwell. Twelve of our Paralympic athletes competing in Sochi are either born or train in B.C., representing 22 per cent of the Canadian team. Our government is committed to the success of our Olympic and Paralympic and athletes by funding $2 million annually to the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. This state-of-the-art training facility, with campuses in Victoria, Vancouver and Whistler provides athletes an inclusive space to train and perfect their sport. Just days into the competition Team Canada is off to an incredible start with two B.C. athletes, Josh Dueck winning a silver medal in downhill-sitting skiing and Caleb Brousseau winning bronze in SuperG sitting skiing. We are so proud of them and the rest of the team. Be sure to tune in to CBC or check out all of the exciting action online and cheer on Team Canada over the remaining days of the Paralympics. We are winter. Go Canada, go! Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Let’s move on following mine decision Editor: I’m on side with Patrick Teti as he rightfully notes in his March 5 letter to the Tribune that the rhetoric and behaviour from our elected representatives is hardly owning up to their full responsibility. I think that the three mentioned do represent Taseko Mines Ltd. and not the voters. Each of the three, Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes and CaribooPrince George Member of Parliament Dick Harris seem to

not care anything about our environment and our future, only to the few who say they will get benefits from the mine. Teti correctly says that we are gaining in new technologies that may help projects in the future, to the benefit of our children and grandchildren but the three elected can’t see that. Too much quiet money changing hands to elected representatives is what I think. Taseko failed miserably the last two times on the panel reviews so why can’t people just accept that? We have several other mines

coming on stream that passed the reviews and guidelines and we all accept that. Yes it is a bit unfortunate that Taseko could not manage proper safe guards and prevention of pollution but no amount of donations to elected people or one-sided political will can change the geology. The water tables, the fault line in the proposed pit, the potential of damaging the Chilko salmon runs, or the topographical matter of tailings seepage. Let’s move on. Gary Young Lac La Hache

Mine decision needs to be reconsidered Editor: Why have we not learned the painful lessons of the past? The B.C. NDP government in the 1970s foolishly shut down the entire B.C. mining industry and it has taken several generations to recover. Now, just as things were looking bright, the federal conservative government — which

How many other wellplanned mining projects in B.C. are now on uncertain ground because of the negative signal that’s been sent? The Prosperity Mine was a beacon of hope to thousands

of people and their families in the Cariboo region and beyond. This foolish, ill-informed decision must be reconsidered and approval given to this mine. Every possible environmental precaution is in place. There is no reason on earth to say “no” to it. Donald Leung Burnaby

NEWS Vancouver Island residents blast ferry cuts Tom Fletcher Black Press Hundreds of people gathered on the lawn of the B.C. legislature Tuesday to call for the provincial government to cancel its cuts to lower-usage ferry runs set to take effect in April. Among the speakers at the rally were Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Sheila Malcolmson, chair of the Islands Trust, the local government for the Gulf Islands. Malcolmson told a cheering crowd that the taxpayer subsidy to BC Ferries has been overemphasized. She said since the B.C. Liberal government took office in

2001, ferry users have paid $5 billion in fares, while taxpayers have subsidized the operation by $1 billion. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he welcomes protesters exercising their freedom of speech, but the intention to cut $18.9 million from low-usage routes was made clear before the 2013 election. The provincial subsidy to coastal ferries has increased by almost $90 million over three years, and cost reductions are needed to keep fares from rising further, he said. “There are too many sailings on the BC Ferries system with utilization rates in the low teens and single digits, and I

think British Columbians support us in believing that is not sustainable,” Stone said. “There are more staff than cars and passengers on many of these sailings.” Opposition critics resumed their focus on the impact of ferry cuts in the legislature Tuesday. NDP leader Adrian Dix called on the government to do an economic impact study on tourism and other business in coastal communities. Dix quoted Premier Christy Clark from her radio talk show in 2008, where she argued that fare hikes were reaching the point where they would produce net revenue loss. North Island MLA Claire Trevena, the

NDP critic on ferries, reminded Stone that replacing the Queen of Chilliwack with the much smaller, open-decked MV Nimpkish on the summer run from Bella Bella to Bella Coola has been greeted with dismay by tourism operators. Stone said the existing service to Bella Coola carries about 500 vehicles during a 13-week season, with a public subsidy that works out to $2,500 per vehicle carried. Trevena suggested that given the lack of facilities on the Nimpkish for a sailing of more than nine hours, an ad campaign for the Discovery Coast ferry route might include the slogan, “coming soon, drinkable water.”

Business excellence awards presented Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Good food, and funfilled entertainment and commentary complimented the Italian themed 2014 Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards held Saturday at the Elks Hall. From grape vines lining the entrance way with lights to scenes from Italy posted around the lavishly decorated Elks Hall it was an evening to stop and celebrate local businesses, organizations and individuals. With several references throughout the night to the Timber Kings — the HGTV 10-part series about Pioneer Log Homes — it was timely that Pioneer emerged as the winner of the Business of the Year Award. Even entertainer Norma McNight, during her ventriloquist sketches, made several references to the Timber Kings. “There’s no better place to live, work and play,” Pioneer Log Homes general manager André Chevigny said in his acceptance speech. Yes the HGTV television series Timber Kings focuses on six principle players at Pioneer, but it’s also about a “ton of talented people behind the scenes from office folk to log peelers,” Chevigny said. Equally as gracious was chamber president Jason Ryll, who was named winner of the Hugo Stahl Memorial Award. “This was totally unexpected,” he said. “People who volunteer for the community don’t do it for themselves, we do it to make Williams Lake a better place.”

Horsefly River Roundtable researches run of river proposal Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor A proposal to do field studies to lay the groundwork for an independent power project at Hen Ingram Lake/Quesnel Lake was the main topic of discussion at the Horsefly River Roundtable’s annual meeting in Horsefly, Feb. 20. The roundtable members discussed the proposal via conference call with Robert Coelho of Eclipsol Energy, representing the Hen Ingram Power Project. The group was told that the project would use the “pumped storage technology” to build a hydro power generation facility using Quesnel Lake as the lower reservoir and

Hen Ingram Lake as the upper reservoir. While the project is still in its conceptual stage, it would involve an intake located near the shoreline of Hen Ingram Lake outlet and a powerhouse located near the Quesnel Lake shoreline. The structure at Hen Ingram Lake would regulate the rate at which water is released, diverting some flow from the natural stream outlet into four, three-metre diameter penstocks to the powerhouse on the shore of Quesnel Lake. Timing and quantity of lake discharges would be scheduled by the company to take advantage of premium electricity prices offered by BC Hydro.

The power would then be directed west into a new transmission line corridor 200 to 300 metres wide that would connect with power lines in the Soda Creek area. The initial project is scaled to generate 50 megawatts of power, with the potential to expand the number of lakes involved to include Keno Lake and Whiffle Lake nearby which would generate up to 200 megawatts of power. Benefits to the Horsefly area would likely be through employment during construction and operations, rather than by the direct supply of power. If the Hen Ingram Lake project is successful, then Keno and Whiffle Lake

would also be investigated for inclusion in the plan, thereby reducing the burden on Hen Ingram Lake. After discussion the roundtable decided to take questions from the general public on the proposal and submit them to Eclipsol Energy on behalf of the community. Community members are reminded that submissions to Eclipsol Energy may be sent to http:// www.eclipsol.com/ hen/ directly until March 13. The roundtable will also receive questions and comments on the project at info@horseflyriver.ca until April 11. People who would like to comment on paper can drop their submissions off at my

There is a computer in the Horsefly Library for people who do not have access to one of their own to research the project. Anyone can research run of river projects in B.C. by simply typing exactly that into Google, and after reading all sides of the information make an informed decision on whether or not you are happy with the idea. The Hen Ingram Lake Hydro Project will be discussed further at the roundtable’s next meeting March 20 starting at 7 p.m. in the Horsefly Library.

Freeman and her horses travel along the Pablo Creek Road close to their home. It was a great day for everyone to enjoy the warm sunshine, which was a welcome treat and timely break from what many locals are describing as a long and cold winter.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The new GLA is a practical small SUV perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive and ease of use. Zack Spencer

Luxury wheels at just the light price MALAGA, SPAIN - It might be winter here but it’s always nice to look forward to warmer days, filled with sun and clear roads. To get a sneak peek at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same platform as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800. Looks This new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA. The GLA has a less aggressive front grille

The centre high performance cluster below the GLA 45 AMG version screen is very that sports 19-inch straightforward and wheels compared easy to master.

The cargo area isn’t huge at 1235L but the rear seats do split and fold for additional cargo capabilities.

Drive The base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruising on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain canyons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better economy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assembled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring. Verdict Mercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45 AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to drive.

ARE YOU

By Ian Harwood

LOOKING FOR A

What are my favourite trucks? – It’s a question readers ask me all the time in the supermarket and on the street. Though not in order of preference, here are my ten choices. 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup

has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3-litre V6, 5.3-litre V8, and a 6.2-litre V8. 2015 Chevrolet Colorado.

Very similar in design to its big brother the Silverado, this Mid-size truck fills a void in Canada. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. 2015 GMC 3500HD Denali

is a beast. This truck is built to pull and with 10,251 KG (22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity it does just that. The 6.6L V8 turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft of torque and is paired with a 1000 series Allison transmission. With interior upgrades such as 12-way power adjustable bucket seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel and a Bose sound system you can operate it in comfort. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost:

MECHANIC? LOOK NO FURTHER!

Not only will the Ram EcoDiesel give you 420-pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. It’s a game changer.

’’

With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines being produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. It holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/ highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 Ford Raptor is still one of my favorite off-road vehicles. It has electronic locking rear differential, shift on the fly 4 wheel drive, advance trac with roll stability control, and trailer sway control. Front and rear mounted cameras to add a second pair of eyes to the terrain around you and a 6.2-litre V8 engine to help you get up and over that hill. 2015 Ford F150. All new design features and a completely aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck up to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. It

This is the year to see. 2014 Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma has continued to increase popularity and is a very agile four-wheeler.

Confessions of a Curber It happened just after the last flood. TThe winter beat records for snowfall, and serious springtime saw seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a relatively r normal car.

the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!

I still rremember my first rs time. It was so easy. eas So thrilling. And I walked away with a couple of thousand thousa bucks in my pocket. Not bad for pocket a few hours’ hou work. What’s it doing here? he I thought. Apart from a couple coup of scratches on the outside ou and some moist seats, sea the vehicle seemed roadworthy. road I immediately asked about the car. I was told that th it was found full of flflood ood w water. Its previous owner wanted nothing to do with it. I bought the car for fo a couple hundred dollars. do I didn’t even have to register it in my name. n Originally, I had no n intention of doing what I did. I wanted to sell the car for parts. But, the engine still worked worke and

Going topless for under $30,000 By Alexandra Straub

Perhaps it might be too early to start thinking of going topless. Then again, maybe not. Dreaming about the days when we don’t need to crank the heat to full blast in the house, or bundle up to go outside to shovel snow are warming thoughts. And so is the thought of open air driving. Here are five convertibles under $30K that might help beat the winter blahs and get you thinking about the sun. Fiat 500C - $16,495

As if the Fiat 500 wasn’t cute enough, there’s also a drop top version to give it even more character. The Pop trim has a starting price of $16,495, whereas the Lounge trim is still starts under $20K at $19,895. Both come with a 1.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine, which produces 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque. Okay, I know that’s not an incredible amount of ponies but, hey, we’re all equal is stop-and-go traffic, right? To catch the attention of fellow commuters, the 500C comes with the option of 3 canvas top colours and 14 different exterior hues. You can even retract the roof while driving. Push the power-operated canvas roof button once and it will open the top to the midway position at speeds up to 96 km/hr. Push it again, and it retracts behind the rear head restraints at speeds up to 80 km/hr. VW Beetle Convertible $29,075

One of the most recognizable vehicles on the road is the VW Beetle. And its convertible version offers a very similar silhouette as its coupe sibling, thus helping it easily be spotted.

‘‘

The Mazda MX5’s manual vinyl top takes only a few seconds to drop down, allowing ts driver and passenger to experience a completely new world of topless driving.

Alexandra Straub

’’

The latest generation of German convertible is better than ever. Boasting more trunk room (now rated at 201L as opposed to 141L) than the previous two generations, a more “masculine” look and better driving dynamics. There are two engines to choose from: a 1.8L, 4-cylidner that produces 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbocharged (TSI) model with 200 horsepower with the manual transmission (but 210hp with the optional automatic DSG) and 207 lb-ft of torque. Mazda MX-5 - $29,250

Given the title of the world’s most popular 2-seat sports car, it’s not hard to see why. The front engine, rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5 is a blast to drive. Ask anyone who has captained it. Whether taking it out for a spin on the road or the track, this tiny two-door has nothing but good times woven into its sheet metal. The Mazda MX-5’s manual vinyl top takes only a few seconds to drop down, allowing its driver and passenger to experience a completely new world of topless driving.

Under its pint-size hood is a 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine with an output of 167 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. There’s also the option to outfit the MX-5 with various transmissions: a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, there’s fun to be had by all. Mustang Convertible $29,499

Under the hood of this American muscle car, the Ford Mustang’s 3.7L, V6 engine will give you the grunt and glory of 305 horsepower. You’ll also be able to fit four people inside along with 272L of cargo around back. Despite the healthy dose of ponies under the hood, wrangling this convertible is anything but a chore. With either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, you’d be pleasantly surprised as to how gracious this ‘Stang can be to drive. Then again, if you want to fire this rear-wheel drive vehicle up, you might just giggle in the process.

MINI Convertible - $29,500

There’s something to be said about driving a MINI. It’s unlike any other experience out there. It feels like driving a street-legal go-kart, but without the abrasiveness that go-karts can have. Its pristine handling and fabulous gearbox only enhance the experience. Granted, visibility out the rear with the top up isn’t fabulous, and there isn’t a lot of trunk space (but there still is room for four!), those are secondary details. Take the 121 horsepower MINI Convertible for a spin and fall in love with things that come in small packages.

Drives-U-Crazy Passing on the right

Many drivers appear

ignorant of the rules concerning when it is okay to a pass a vehicle on the right. You must not pass on the

right of another vehicle on a road marked with a single lane unless that driver is making or signalT:10.3” ing a left turn. Frequently

drivers zip to the right of a traffic waiting at the lights in a bid to roar off in front at the green. It’s extremely selfish because invariably

it prevents cars making a right on a red. If caught the fine is $109 fine and tw2 Driver Penalty Points.

Chupa firing to success on world stage Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Fifteen-year-old long-distance rifle shooter Cassidy Chupa is performing well beyond her years. The Lake City secondary student recently set a U.S. national record at the Berger Match in Phoenix, AZ., one of the most prestigious rifle shoots in North America. She’s also now the topranked Canadian youth and fourth-ranked rifle shooter in the world. “I dropped 11 points out of 600 at 1,000 yards, got third place overall for the day and broke a U.S. national record,” Chupa said.

At the Berger Match there is no youth class. Chupa was competing against some of the best adult rifle shooters in the world as part of a North American F-class team, and also as an individual. “I shoot with three other girls and one other boy. Two are from New York, one is from Oklahoma and the other is from Oregon,” she said. “The first three days we shot as individuals. Then we did a team match, so it went 600 yards, 700 yards, 800 yards, 900 yards and 1,000 yards.” See BERGER Page A21

Berger Match nets big results Continued From Page A19 As part of the youth team Chupa, who has been shooting since she was 11, placed third the first day and fifth the second day. As an individual she finished around the middle of the pack in the adult division. “At this match the top youth shooter was 19 years old,” she said. “I ended up in second by 10 points.” To compete at the Berger Match a per-

sonal invitation is required, Chupa said. While competing at last year’s world championships in New Mexico she met two of the top female rifle shooters in the U.S. — Nancy Tompkins and her daughter, Michelle Gallagher. “Michelle is the one who runs the Berger Match,” Chupa said. “And we had the opportunity to train with them at last year’s worlds.” Chupa also had the chance to put her

It was a lot of fun, and I was the first youth ever to do it at such a big match.” Coming up Chupa hopes to compete as part of Team Canada at the Western Canadian championships in Chilliwack from June 26-29.

arts & life Windborn at Olivers Saturday Windborn from Vancouver will be playing at the Oliver Street Bar and Grill in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day this Saturday, March 25 starting at 8 p.m. There is no cover charge but reservations are recommended. As a one-man band with a unique sound Jeff Pike adapts easily to the venue in which he is playing. From mellow house concerts and coffee shops, to festivals drawing all types of crowds, or rocking the dance floor at sold out pub shows, the energy and strength of the music is undeniable. Pike’s guitar playing

lays the foundation of every song and is truly unique. He plays rhythm and lead lines at the same time, creating some of the biggest and most percussive riffs you’ll ever hear on the guitar. On top of all that, Pike lays complex beats with a kick drum, and cuts through with powerful vocals. That said, from time to time other musicians will join the show with cello, bass guitar, or hand percussion, adding another layer of depth to the music. Pike has two fulllength albums released under the name of Windborn, with a third on its way this year.

new album, which is something he has not done in like, 10 years or something. That makes me feel very, very special.” says guitarist and lead vocalist Dusty Exner. The band has been on a break due to some unlucky health issues.

Roy Wellburn (left) and potter Anna Roberts are intrigued by the masks on display in the main Station House Gallery this month. Created by Barb Fraleigh, the masks are part of the gallery’s March show featuring all kinds of work by members of the Cariboo Potters Guild called 50 Shades of Clay. In this show the potters are exhibiting many of the more artistic creations that you may not readily see in shops.

Old time fiddlers host Kelli Trottier Canadian fiddler Kelli Trottier is performing in Williams Lake this month. With her angelic voice, crisp fiddling and fiery step dance Trottier is one of those talented artists known as a triple threat on the Canadian fiddle music scene. She is an old friend and honorary member of the Williams Lake Old Time Fiddlers who are hosting Trottier in a lakecity concert this month, says member Hal Giles. Trottier toured North America and beyond with the sensational Bowfire entourage as one of their select virtuoso fiddlers. Bowfire is considered to be one of the finest line-ups of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage. Trottier’s vocals and step-dancing were considered highlights of every performance. Blending traditional Celtic, contemporary country, folk, Bluegrass and Western Swing with her inspired fiddle and vocal arrangements, Trottier has played her way to the top of her

McLeese Lake celebrates winter Rhonda Kolcun Special to Tribune/Advisor More than 100 people attended the McLeese Lake Winter Fun Day last month. The event was postponed from an earlier date and this time Mother Nature said Feb. 22 would be a good day and what a great day we all had. It was fun to see friends and neighbours who have been hibernating indoors because of our very cold winter. This event was sponsored by McLeese Lake Recreation Society. The organizers had a very delicious lunch with mouth-watering chilli, yummy campfire hotdogs, tasty beef dip, coffee, hot chocolate and potato chips. Everyone really enjoyed it all. A great big thank you goes out to the cooks Greg Foster and to

Jackie King who also helped serve together with Tami Mitchell and Kate Jalbert. The venue by the lake was great and we want to thank Rob and Jim Swaan for the use of their property and the help they provided to help make this event a great success. It was terrific to have snow machine runs and hay rides for everyone to enjoy and a roaring campfire for everyone to visit by. Thanks to Rob Chamberlin, Gail Perish and Robin Storoschuk for organizing the snow machine runs and to Jeremy Kishkan for arranging the hay rides. The residents of McLeese Lake, Quesnel and Williams Lake did not disappoint the organizers with their generosity for the food bank.

Workshop assists caregivers/migrant workers  An informational workshop for live-in caregivers and migrant workers will be held in Williams Lake this Saturday.   “There are between 60 and 90 Filipinos alone working in the region as live-in caregivers or temporary foreign workers,” says Sharon Taylor, Welcoming Communities Project Co-ordinator for the lakecity branch of the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society. Hosted by the West Coast Domestic Workers’ Association and Welcome BC the workshop will provide free legal advice for live-in caregivers, other migrant workers and anyone who has questions about work permits, legal status in Canada, and employment standards, Taylor says. The workshop will be held Saturday, March 15 at the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society centre at Borland and First Avenue starting at 10 a.m. From 10 a.m. to noon lawyer Ai Li Lim will discuss recent changes to the live-in caregiver program and worker’s legal rights, and provide

information about work permits and legal status in Canada. She will then provide one-on-one support for individuals who have questions about their situation from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. The West Coast Domestic Workers’ Asso-

ciation, established in 1986 works mainly with and for live in caregivers, but other migrant workers have found these free legal information sessions very helpful, Taylor says. Taylor says the legal consultations are free but they would like people

City of Williams Lake and Williams Lake Indian Band Will Enhance Economic Opportunities with Community Forest The recent approval of the Williams Lake Community Forest by the provincial government provides a new opportunity for forest management in the Cariboo. WL Community Forest LP, a limited partnership formed between the City and the Band, will hold the license and will manage the forest. After years of planning, B.C.’s newest community forest aims to work closely with community residents to ensure that local values and interests are integrated into forest management. The Community Forest has two areas: one to the west of Williams Lake, between Esler and the Fraser River; and the other stretching east from Big Lake. The Community Forest Agreement will allow an annual harvest of 40,000 m3/year or about 800 truckloads from the two areas. All surplus revenues of the Limited Partnership will be shared equally between the City and the Williams Lake Indian Band. Both communities have pursued a Community Forest Agreement since the program was created in 1998. In November 2011, the City and the Band announced their limited partnership, and began the process of drafting a community forest application and forest management plan for the Ministry of Forests and Natural Resource Operations. Extensive public consultation was held, particularly in the area of the Big Lake block. As a result of that consultation, the partners agreed to establish a standing committee of the Community Forest’s Board of Directors. The Standing Committee will be established collaboratively and will be made up of people who have strong community and resource interests, and will identify issues and make recommendations directly to the Board of Directors. In addition, the partners contribute 5% of the net profit from the Community Forest to fund community projects through a grant program, and will rely on the recommendations of the Standing Committee to decide on the distribution of the funds.

CLIVE NEVILLE CASEY

1934 - 2014 The family would like to announce the sudden passing of CliveÂ â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caseyâ&#x20AC;? on Feb 20 2014. He will be well remembered for many things but his natural gift of stone work and his love of golf is what he willÂ come to mind for those thatÂ knew him well.Â His life touch many with his Irish accent and outlook on life, always ready to lend a hand. He was born in Dublin, Ireland and spent his younger years traveling the world. He found his way to BC and the Railways and spent time working with the CN from Revelstoke and then the BCR working out of Williams Lake, Quesnel and Lillooet. He spent his time in Quesnel and Williams Lake working on the BCRailway and in retirement put his talents in green keeping at Dragon Lake Golf Course. He later moved to a warmer climate in Lillooet were he enjoyed time with his friends, golf, hunting through garage sales and thrift stores to find the treasure and taking care ofÂ his home and yard. He was survived by his wife Nancy, son Steve, daughter Samantha and father-in-law Andy Andrunyk. Along with his brother Stewart and wife Jen, sister Cora (Morden) and family. His family in Ireland and daughters Linda, Wendy, Debbie and Susan and their families. Â In following with Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes there will be no service and at a later date he will be remember at a place dear to him. In memory of Casey donations can be made to the Heart and Stoke Foundation.

NEWS Healthy ways to keep kids busy on spring break

Spring break is here and you may be wondering what to do with your children for the two weeks that they’re away from school. There are many fun activities children can do, that are active and educational. The important thing is to get your child off the couch and out of the house participating in activities that are fun and physically active. Spring break activity ideas: • Visit your community pool or recreation centre. Local pools have swimming lessons over spring break and public swims. Swimming is great for overall health, is a good life skill to have and can provide for further progression into other aquatic sports. Similarly, community centers and the YMCA offer fun and reasonably priced day-camp programming during spring break. • Visit your local attractions: Children like to learn, especially through exploration. For example, visit the petting zoo or the aquarium. You can also stop by your local library to participate in interesting sessions like, storytelling, crafts, and songs. • Try something simple. Make a list of things

to find to do in the backyard, (fort anyone?) or start your garden early.

• Head to your local park: Connect with nature, go geocaching or

do a scavenger hunt. Spring break is a good time for children to seek

out new activities and even discover a new hobby.

So in your planning this year, include one physical activity per day

and try to discover one new activity over the two weeks!
