Independent MLA Andrew Weaver (Oak Bay-Gordon Head) motion to delay the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Income Tax Act fell on deaf ears when it received third and final reading in legislature on Nov. 27. Citing that no revenue projections were included in the debate on the tax regime, Weaver also identified what he says are possible tax loopholes. “By delaying the bill’s passage, the government would have had an opportunity to release its revenue models for public scrutiny, and ensure that British Columbians were made aware of both the opportunities and possible pitfalls associated with this bill.” Both the B.C. Liberal government and the NDP Opposition voted unanimously in favour of the bill, passing it into law, while one other Independent MLA (Vicki Huntington, Delta South) voted against it. Weaver, who is also deputy leader of the Green Party of BC, says it was “perplexing” and “startling.” “This was supposed to be the legislature’s opportunity to ‘unpack’ the government’s LNG promises, but instead we have still received no substantive [revenue] information.” He also pointed to the government’s reduced

LNG income tax rate at 3.5 per cent (rising to five per cent in 2037) being scaled back from projections of up to seven per cent in last spring’s Budget 2014. This reduces the provincial corporate tax rate for these companies to as low as eight per cent (from 11). Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says it’s easy for anyone against any bill to criticize its validity. “He is incorrect, and in our opinion, he is on the wrong side of the issue. “[Finance Minister Michael de Jong] says the LNG income tax gives proponents the certainty they need to make investment decisions. It also ensures British Columbians receive the revenues they deserve from this industry.” If there had been anything less than satisfactory in the bill, the Opposition would not have supported it, she adds. “I certainly didn’t see any loopholes.” Barnett says accurately predicting LNG revenue is “very difficult” to do because it depends on the world market, future investments and other factors. Certainty is needed to get industry investors on board when it comes to taxes and government revenues, while Weaver’s proposal to slow down the process “could jeopardize many jobs,” she adds.

1st Step Mobile Treatment coming to 100 Mile House

Ken Alexander Free Press

A program, which gives youth an insight on substance misuse and abuse, addictions and life skills, is coming to 100 Mile House, Dec. 8-12. Jamie Tazelaar, who is the 1st Step Mobile Treatment and Short Stay Housing Program

co-ordinator for the Kamloops Axis Family Resource Ltd. Branch, says she is excited about bringing the program here. The group, which will run Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is open to youth aged 13-24 who you think may benefit in gaining knowledge and education about substance misuse,

addictions and life skills. The program is funded by the Interior Health Authority, Tazelaar says, adding youth must be referred by a professional or be connected to a professional in the community. “Youth who are not using substances at this time, but feel they may lack life skills and be at

risk of using a substance in the future are also welcome.” She notes the 1st Step Mobile Treatment program uses a harmreduction approach by meeting group members where they are at in their readiness for change. The program is both community and Continued on A5

A Gateway to clean water New utility system opens after four-year pursuit

FAST bytes FREE FLU SHOTS

Carole Rooney Free Press

The grand opening of the Gateway Water System officially turned on the taps on Nov. 28. Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Area H Director Margo Wagner was joined by Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett to recognize the end of this four-year $750,000 project. They turned out in the bitter cold and on snowy roads to cut a banner in celebration of the event. They met up with CRD environmental services manager Mitch Minchau inside a small utility shed with a big purpose on Gateway’s Kennedy Road. Wagner said it is a great example of what can be accomplished for residents when all three levels of government work together. “Receiving funding for this project has allowed us to provide a comprehensive water system for the residents of the Gateway area.” The water system services 27 residential customers and replaces the former aging and deteriorating water system, she explained. The federal Community Works fund fuelled by the

There is a flu shots clinic happening in 100 Mile House on Dec. 10, 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m., at the South Cariboo Health Centre’s Multipurpose Room (across the hall from the rear health centre/hospital entrance) at 555D Cedar Ave. No appointment is necessary, but bring your Care Card. Flu shots are free for seniors, children under age five, and many other qualifying individuals.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, left, and Cariboo Regional District Area H Director Margo Wagner wore happy grins for Gateway when they officially cut the banner to open the new Gateway Water System on Nov. 28.

Gas Tax kicked in $375,000 while the provincial government contributed $125,000 and residents on the new system provided another $250,000 through long-term financing.

Barnett acknowledged the site is on Canim Lake Band’s traditional territory, and noted “water is one of our most precious commodities.” “By working together, we are well on our way

to healthier and stronger communities here and throughout B.C.” She thanked KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod for her government’s commitment

to gas tax funding and the CRD for pursuing the project and funding. “This project has been a stellar example of the awesome results that are borne of collaboration.”

Canadian family tax policy probed NDP candidate calls change ‘Robin Hood economics’

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recently announced Family Tax Plan introduces income splitting and a child-care boost, which some critics say target the wrong income groups. Part of the new tax scheme will allow a Canadian family’s higher-earning spouse to transfer up to $50,000 of income to the lower-earning spouse. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo NDP candidate Bill Sundhu says this will only benefit about 15 per cent of Canadians in a “bizarre, reverse ‘Robin Hood economics’ tax policy” that increases income inequity. “The well-to-do in this country are doing just fine. It’s the lower income and middle class families that need help and [are] forced to do with less.” The $2,000 cap on tax cuts rather than the former plan for leaving it open is “a clever way to try to torque this through,” Sundhu explains. He says it is a “regressive” tax policy that gives the highest tax break to those with one parent earning a high income and the other staying at home, which he compares to a “1960s style”

of parenting. “That’s not the reality in Canadian families today.” One per cent of Canadians are single parents and three in 10 families have spouses in the same tax bracket – neither of which will benefit from income splitting, Sundhu notes. “[Former Conservation finance minister] Jim Flaherty himself said this was a bad idea when he was alive.” Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod notes Flaherty was referring to the earlier tax split plan that was considerably different that this scaled-down policy. “It’s capped at $2,000 and it’s helping families. Minister Flaherty, if he saw the plan as it is presented now, with the changes we have made ... I think he would be just delighted.” Sundhu has been “very selective with his facts,” she adds. “We announced a very comprehensive program of targeted tax relief for families and it’s inclusive of three pieces.” Perhaps the “most exciting” policy piece for

families is a $60 increase to the monthly Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) payment, and an allnew payment provided to parents of school-aged children, she adds. With the UCCB increase to $160 a month for parents of children under age six and a new $60-a-month payment for each child aged six to 17, this boosts an estimated $2.6 billion back into these families’ pockets in 2015/16. The income splitting will also reduce what Revenue Canada collects from families by $2.4 billion in 2014/15 and $1.9 billion in 2015/16. “We have also increased the child care expense deduction, the dollar limit is going to go up by $1,000 [to $8,000], so again, is a significant support for families,” says McLeod. Other changes include how that can be applied, as well as a doubled, and now refundable Children’s Fitness Tax Credit. The MP adds another key component in the new family tax plan is that by “untying it from actual child care expenses,” it better allows parents to make the decisions on who cares for their child – a parent or a caregiver.

A new YouTube video aimed at cattle producers highlights the importance of BSE surveillance in Canada. Producers are encouraged to submit at least one cow per year for sampling. Cattle between 30 months and 10 years provide the most valuable information for BSE monitoring. However, any animal older than 30 months of age that is dead, down, dying or diseased is a potential test candidate. A veterinarian visit is provided at no cost to the producer.

District budget amended This year’s financial plan updated for expenditures

Carole Rooney Free Press

The District of 100 Mile House council recently gave three readings to its latest 2014 financial plan amendments. Flori Vincenzi, District director of financial administration, summarized the amendments in a memo to council. She noted the dollar figures were unknown or unconfirmed at the time of the budget preparation; however, meanwhile grant revenue has been accessed or money was withdrawn from reserves to accommodate council’s decisions. The summary shows a $100,400 transfer of reserves to offset several unexpected line breaks in the District water mains in spring 2014.

Another $119,250 was covered by 2012 government grants administered by Fraser Basin Council (FBC) for a study and engineering plan for efficient water use. Together these were applied to the total amendment for Utility Operations of $219,650. A smaller expense ($5,000) was also incurred for the replacement of a back flow prevention valve at the District sani-station. A financial incentive of $14,710 was provided from Multi Material BC for District curbside recycling/garbage collection from mid-May to fiscal year-end. This was applied to program costs, which included a cost increase in contractor expenses of $18,998 under Environmental/ Public Health, for a $33,708 budget amendment. Other government grants included $11,000 from FBC, which was combined with $15,000 from the Federal Gas Tax Fund for the Miles Ahead planning project ($26,000). A transfer of $7,500 from the Woodlot Reserve fund will be also applied to support a grant

application for a business plan toward the concept of a trade school/research and development centre. Capital projects Capital projects accounted for $437,099 in budget amendments, Vincenzi explained. The need for paving the South Cariboo Visitor Centre parking lot arose when conditions deteriorated last spring, and led to $70,000 in unexpected costs, funded through available funds in the Municipal Infrastructure Fund. A snow plow ($213,000) and dump truck ($87,000) together led to a $300,000 withdrawal from the District’s Equipment Reserve Fund. Grant money ($27,099) leftover from the former Bridge Creek Trails project was approved to be applied to new playground equipment in Centennial Park. Its cost and a shared funding requirement led to another $10,000 from District Operating surplus. The Equipment Reserve fund was also tapped into ($30,000) for new a server upgrade at the District.

Snowstorm leaves thousands of residents in the dark

Many folks south of Highway 24 were left without power for up to four hours on the morning on Nov. 26. A reported 1,218 residents were impacted when the entire 70 Mile House substation grid was knocked out at 8:27 a.m. BC Hydro spokesperson Dave Mosure says this power outage and numerous others were caused by various power lines impacted by weather conditions. This included ice, snow and trees on the lines, with high winds. “It was the first big kick of winter and it has identified all the weak trees, plus it brought limbs down, it was just ... a schmozzle.”

This outage spanned all of 70 Mile House and much of Green Lake, Jesmond and Big Bar. It also knocked out power to the West Fraser and Ainsworth OSB mills. BC Hydro service was back on at various times, with the last outage restored by 12:23 p.m. Another large area hit by downed power lines was at Forest Grove and Canim Lake, where 1,516 customers had no electricity from 10:46 p.m. on Nov. 26 to 12:49 p.m. on Nov. 27 at due to a windstorm. Mosure says many other power failures occurred in smaller local communities, as well as widespread areas across the Interior when

the big storm moved through. “In this weather system, the moisture came up from the south, the cold came down from the north, and when those two butted heads....”

Individual, as well as group, goals are set at the beginning of the program and evaluated throughout in order to ensure the individual’s needs are being met, Tazelaar says, adding a youth driven “safety plan” is developed prior to leaving the treatment program. “The plan is very specific and includes the referral agent in the plan in order to support the youth on their path of change.” Each day the group meets, food will be provided: a light break-

fast and lunch will be prepared and cooked with the help of the youth daily. Youth are not permitted to leave the premises until 3 p.m. and all breaks will be supervised, she explains. “We would prefer the youth to arrange their own transportation; however, if

they have difficulties, we can provide transportation.” At the end of the program, a graduation ceremony is planned and youth are able to invite family and other positive support people to attend, and share in the celebration with them. For information on

It’s ‘Rotary time’ in 100 Mile House

Free Press

Some 40 people gathered in front of the 100 Mile Community Hall when the Rotary Club of 100 Mile House unveiled an impressive Rotary Clock on Nov. 20. The formal presentation of its gift to the community was intentionally held on the 38th anniversary of the

club’s inception. “It is 100 Mile House’s clock because the town supports us for all the fundraising we do, which then goes right back into the community for causes like this,” said Rotary club president Craig Lee. “It’s a full circle.” He explained past president Maureen Pinkney had come up with the original idea for a town Rotary Clock

and worked for three years to bring it to a reality. “Maureen is the lady who deserves a hand because she has been the point person on this, she has followed it through to completion.” Pinkney noted the local Rotary club has continued to give back to the community through many student scholarships and donations to a wide range

of organizations since 1976. “Facilities, such as Creekside Seniors Activity Centre and the Horse Lake Training Centre that the cadets are in, would not exist today if it was not for this Rotary club ... we really believe in giving back. “Now, we want everyone to focus on our Rotary time,” she joked.

Rotary Club of 100 Mile House members and representatives from Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett’s office and the 100 Mile Community Hall turned out for the official unveiling of the new Rotary Clock on Nov. 20.

Pinkney added the fundraising for the clock ($10,000) included its annual Lobsterfest event, and facilitated a matching grant from Rotary International District 5040 ($9,500). “The District of 100 Mile House provided the concrete base for the tower, and it will do the maintenance.” Mayor Mitch Campsall thanked the Rotary club for the

clock and for all the club does for the community.

Lee passed his thanks back to the District for its own contributions.

Get vaccinated for the flu Ken Alexander Free Press

Each year, influenza kills more Canadians than all other vaccinepreventable illnesses combined. British Columbians can get immunized at a wide variety of locations – from dedicated flu clinics to doctors’ offices and local pharmacies. Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children between six months and five years, seniors 65 years and older, pregnant women, Aboriginal people, and individuals with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. Individuals who work or live with people who have a higher risk of

complications from the flu are also eligible for a free flu shot. For the second year, the South Cariboo clinics will also be offering a live attenuated influenza vaccine (Flu Mist), given as an intranasal spray. The nasal Flu Mist will be offered to children and adolescents from two to 17 years. It is the preferred vaccine for children because it provides better protection than the inactivated influenza vaccine, or flu shot, given by injection. For the second consecutive year, anyone planning to visit a loved one in a health-care facility or those who take family members to outpatient appointments will also be eligible for a free flu

shot from a licensed practitioner, such as a pharmacist, doctor or nurse. There is a clinic in 100 Mile House on Dec. 10, 10:30 a.m.4 p.m., at the South Cariboo Health Centre’s Multipurpose Room

(across the hall from the rear health centre/hospital entrance) at 555D Cedar Ave. No appointment is necessary, but bring your Care Card. Local pharmacies also offer flu shots for folks who are not eligible for the free vaccinations.

Vaccinations best way to ensure pets stay healthy

Carole Rooney Free Press

A case of canine parvovirus found in a litter of puppies by the Quesnel SPCA has sparked a vaccination reminder to dog owners. Local veterinarian Pam Barker says the bottom line is “parvo” is always out there, and can survive in some fairly extreme environments.

explains. Barker says owners of puppies should take extra care to ensure they follow the recommended vaccine schedule, and in the interim remove their shoes at the door.

Adult dogs need vaccinating every three years in order to protect them from contracting parvo, she adds. Noting parvo can be fatal – and often is, if left untreated – Barker recommends immedi-

Universal health care under attack

British Columbia court case challenging the very foundations of public health care could undermine the comprehensiveness and fairness of Canadian Medicare and erode the competitive advantage it provides to B.C. businesses. Dr. Brian Day, owner of two for-profit clinics in Vancouver, was scheduled to start the next phase of his controversial case on Sept. 8 in British Columbia Supreme Court, but was recently granted a six-month delay until March 2015. The case has been called the most significant constitutional challenge in Canadian history, as it seeks to introduce two-tier health care into this country. The court challenge is likely to go as far as the Supreme Court of Canada, but what happens in B.C. will be crucial. Canada’s system of public health care – anchored by single-payer, universal health insurance – ensures that access to care is

GUEST SHOT

he B.C. Liberal government recently went to war against motorists who insist on talking on their cell phones or fiddling with the music, DVDs or the global positioning systems in their motor vehicles. It’s because distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents in British Columbia, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths attributed to speeding and 86 due to alcohol or drug impairment. So, the B.C. Liberal government, the Insurance Corporation of B.C. and provincial policing forces have partnered to crack down on distracted driving in hopes of getting a handle on this increasingly fatal driving behaviour. In 2013, police issued 51,200 violation tickets to drivers who were using an electronic device. However, it doesn’t seem the message is getting through - even with the education messages in newspapers, the electronic media, movie theaters and when police talk to motorists during roadside checks. So, the province passed legislation to toughen penalties - hit them in the pocketbook until it hurts so much they will stop their distracted driving. Now, motorists caught talking on a cell phone while driving will get three demerit points on their licence, as well as a $167 fine. A second infraction can get real expensive. Penalty points remain on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers a driver’s licence suspension, and nobody wants to go down that road. We’re reasonably certain there are few motorists out there who haven’t seen a distracted driver in action the giveaway is the swerving in front of you or in the rearview mirror. Another obvious giveaway is the distracted driver whose vehicle slowly drifts across the centreline. If we’re lucky, a blast on the horn will bring the driver back to the chore of driving his or her vehicle. If not, we have to rely on evasive action - slamming on the brakes or steering in another direction. Hey, most motorists have been distracted drivers at one time or another, so it’s not about a holier-thanthou message. It’s about realizing how scary distracted driving can get. Research shows five seconds of texting while driving at highway speeds is like driving blindfolded for almost the length of an entire football field. Now, consider that fact and what it could lead to on our wintry roads.

system of single-payer health insurance provides these businesses a competitive advantage when compared to United States-based firms that are required to provide expensive (and often less comprehensive) private health insurance for their employees. That is an advantage worth protecting. That is not to say that our current public health-care system is perfect. There is a lot of room for improvement, especially in areas, such as seniors’ care and prescription drug coverage. However, Canada’s universal public health-care system is widely supported by the public and for good reason. This ongoing legal case being prosecuted against public health care is a stark reminder that no one should take our universal public health care for granted.

Opinion

Motorists urged to fill out transportation survey To the editor: As residents of 70 Mile House, we are very aware of the potential for a very serious accident on the section of Highway 97 going through our community. We have had meetings with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) representatives and our elected representatives. Some changes to make this corridor safer have been made, but further improvements are drastically needed.

We have requested a reduced speed – 70 kilometre per hour – limit through the community until safe infrastructure changes can be made. However, we have been told by MOTI that speed limits are determined by statistics. Apparently qualitative statistics (people’s experiences) haven’t counted and they are waiting for quantitative statistics (numbers of highway deaths, especially those attributed to speed). We are hoping to prevent at least

one of those quantitative statistics. Our concern is not just for residents of 70 Mile, but for everyone travelling through this area. The petition we had earlier this year, which had 576 of your signatures, did not even warrant a reply from either the minister of highways or MOTI district manager’s office. Now, according to our MLA, Jackie Tegart, there is one way for the general public to have input and express their transportation priori-

ties and concerns. British Columbians are said to have an opportunity to provide input for the MOTI as they form a 10-Year Transportation Plan. The survey, in the booklet, BC on the Move, should be available at BC Service Centres, libraries and electronically at www.engage.gov.bc.ca/ transportationplan. This survey is somewhat pointed and limiting, but there is a place at the end to list priorities and comments. Please fill in this survey, espe-

cially the last section giving your comments. Surveys must be submitted by Dec. 12. The transportation systems have to serve our local communities, as well as commerce. Safety factors affecting all users have to be a priority. If nothing else, the ministry should be aware of the need to get input from the local community.

Prairie farmers don’t have Resident agrees Site C project unnecessary ‘marketing freedom’ To the editor: It was refreshing to see Stewart Wells tell it like it is in his recent letter, regarding the state of Grain Marketing in Western Canada, in the 100 Mile House Free Press (page A9, headlined Prairie farmers disenfranchised. Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has no real argument other than to attack the messenger. Farmers are growing tired of him telling us how well off we are under “marketing freedom” and how we are making record profits. Is he not aware prices have fallen to four-yearlows or below and the agricultural grain economy is slowing? How can Mr. Ritz be proud of the situation he and his government have instigated? We have no effective futures price

discovery, record basis deductions, recent poor co-ordination of grain stocks at port, and high demurrage charges. Grain company quotes are widely variable and there is often little idea of how much will be discounted for protein and grade shortcomings. The buyers are not beating a path to our door trying to outdo one another! We are simply weaker price takers spending excessive amounts of time calling for elusive quotes. As a farmer, it feels like we have no marketing freedom, only the opportunity to contribute to those company profits involved with handling our product. Robert Horne Swift Current, Sask.

To the editor: I am responding to Paul Kariya’s Guest Shot, headlined Site C dam need questioned, on page A8 of the Nov. 27 edition of the 100 Mile House Free Press. I agree that the proposed Site C project would be hugely expensive and probably not necessary for British Columbia. It would also flood agricultural land. Future growth in electricity demand in B.C. would come from things like liquefied natural gas (LNG) export, which now seems dubious. Unlike Mr. Kariya, I don’t think more independent power projects (IPPs) are the answer, though. IPPs are privately owned and sell power to BC Hydro. Most are runof-river projects, which produce a lot of power in the spring, when BC Hydro doesn’t need it. BC Hydro is forced by contract to buy the IPP power whether it

needs it or not – even when its own reservoirs are full. I think future electricity demand in B.C. should be mostly met by existing BC Hydro plants, plant upgrades and conservation. Already BC Hydro owes over $50

billion for long-term IPP power contracts – too much! That money will not be going to upgrading BC Hydro’s existing power plants. Hugh Thomas 100 Mile House

Bad news for province

To the editor: With the Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China ratified, we will forever be looking over our shoulders. No municipal, provincial, or future federal government will dare to improve environmental laws, or oppose a development proposed by a Chinese state-owned company, if it is perceived by China, that it will hinder their profit. To dare to cross that line will be prohibitively expensive for taxpay-

ers. FIPA also usurps First Nations rights. My heart plunges at the news. The agreement ensures the tar sands; associated pipelines; and tanker traffic will all be developed to there fullest capacity. Hello, it will be full-blown climate disruption! There may be no recourse in the courts. British Columbia, we have been strategically and methodically duped.

BC VIEWS

t has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the British Columbia government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory. My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world. The Nisga’a people are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week. The B.C. Liberal government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. Legal documents were signed

down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature. In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing selfgovernment. And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a. “That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

He got pretty much halfway back to his vehicle and he couldn't scare it off and it wasn't really showing any signs of fear. It took down his dog right in front of him, a full grown 10-year-old lab.” The big cat had carried the dog back where it came from to the far side of the parking lot and into the trees. About 150 yards off into the trees, Scrivner found the cougar feeding on the dog and he put the big cat down. The cougar was a full grown male, about four or five-years-old, very healthy, a full-size 130 lbs, almost seven feet long from the tip of its tail to the nose.

Jail time for man caught exposing himself PENTICTON - Three decades after he was first jailed for exposing himself to children, a former Keremeos resident is back behind bars for more of the same. Roy O’Donaghey, 60, was sentenced Dec. 1 in provincial court in Penticton to nine months in jail for exposing himself to two different boys in Keremeos in 2011. Once he’s released from custody, O’Donaghey will be subject to a three-year probation order, conditions of which include he not return to the community and have no contact with the victims, their families or other children. One of the victims testified at trial in 2013 that O’Donaghey deliberately pulled aside the leg of his shorts to let a dog lick O’Donaghey’s genitals in full view of the boy. The other victim testified that when he spotted a pellet gun while moving boxes in the back of O’Donaghey’s truck, O’Donaghey put his penis on the truck’s tailgate and told the boy to use his penis as a target. The mother of one of the boys said she’s satisfied with the sentence, which came a year after O’Donaghey was convicted.

Local RCMP members dealt with winter weather-caused MVIs

Police

report 100 Mile House RCMP responded to 63 complaints and calls for service during the past week. Below are highlights of the week’s calls. Excessive speed On Nov. 27, 100 Mile House RCMP was conducting speed enforcement on Highway 97 at the 99 Mile hill. A pick-up truck was observed being operated at a high rate of speed in the 50 km/h zone. The vehicle was confirmed as being operated at 54 km/h over the posted speed limit. The vehicle was pulled over and the driver was identified. The driver did not have valid insurance on his vehicle. The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days and the driver was issued tickets for no insurance and excessive speed.

Left accident scene On Nov. 26, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a single-vehicle incident on Easzee Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch. The driver of a burgundy pick-up drove through a stop sign at the intersection of Kallum Drive and Easzee Drive. The vehicle came to rest on the support wire for a telephone pole. The driver left the scene but was located a short time later at his residence. The driver was subsequently issued a violation ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign. Without due care On Nov. 25, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a collision between two pick-up trucks on Highway 97 just south of Lac la Hache.

Slippery roads On Nov. 24, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle incident on Horse Lake Road just outside of 100 Mile House. The female driver

of a black Chevrolet Avalanche had lost control and her vehicle left the roadway, flipping onto its side. The driver was assisted out of her vehicle by those on scene. She suffered only minor scrapes and declined to go to hospital. Her vehicle was towed out of the ditch. Deteriorating road and weather conditions contributed to this collision.

Fire department busy

Carole Rooney Free Press

The 108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108RVFD) helped rescue a boy who was injured when tobogganing off Bryan Crescent on Nov. 27. Fire chief Marcelle Ried says firefighters arrived before the ambulance

and pulled the boy 200 feet back up the slope. “It was just a bunch of kids tobogganing down a steep hill and there was a bunch of rocks and stumps ... and he hit one of the stumps and fractured his femur, just above the knee.” While steep for tobogganing, Ried explains it was considered a low-angle Continued on A12

Ried cautions everyone who likes to slide down snowy hills to make sure they have a clear path without obstacles, a safe stopping place and plenty of snow to cushion any rougher spots. “There might not have been enough snow this time.” The 100 Mile House

Fire-Rescue (OMHFR) crew was on standby for five-and-a-half hours when a small fire broke out at Ainsworth OSB during a power outage on Nov. 26 at 8:20 a.m. Fire chief Darrell Blades says his members responded quickly and found the fire already extinguished by the mill crew. However, they soon determined the mill’s request had been miscommunicated as it had actually called in for stand-by service due to BC Hydro service interruption, leaving a

somewhat precarious situation, he notes. “The press was closed with wood in it and they still had wood in the dryers, and nothing could run.” Blades explains the fire crew checked for hot spots and then stayed on stand-by until the electricity was back on, the press was back open and the hot boards had been taken out.

September 2015 for jury selection. They are facing similar charges. Around 11 a.m. on June 13, 100 Mile House RCMP received information from Kamloops RCMP regarding a stolen vehicle that may be headed north to their area. Later, they learned the stolen vehicle had been linked to a theft at the Clinton liquor store. The suspect vehicle was located parked in the driveway of residence on Elefson Road, just south of Highway 24. A search was initiated by a police dog handler out of Williams Lake, but it was called off when the tracks were lost after they led back to Highway 97. A police helicopter was also brought in for aerial surveillance, but the suspects were not spotted.

The next morning, police recognized the suspects from a description of their clothing caught on the liquor store cameras, and two of them fled into the bush. Officers arrested Brown behind the Greyhound bus depot in 100 Mile House. He had two sawed-off weapons and ammunition in his possession. Higgins and Sellars were taken into custody without incident at the ball diamonds during a slo-pitch tourney in 100 Mile House. When the stolen vehicle was searched, a homemade improvised explosive device was discovered. The explosive disposal unit from Vancouver was flown in and the device was safely detonated around 7 p.m. that day.

Timmy’s Christmas Telethon on Shaw on Dec. 7

Helping a family with a child in need is as easy as turning on the television, and watching the 27th Annual Timmy’s Christmas Telethon presented by Shaw. On Dec. 7, the annual

Christmas telethon, in support of the BC Lions Society’s Easter Seals services, will once again air on Shaw TV stations throughout British Columbia and online at www.timmys.org.

Timmy’s Christmas Telethon will feature six hours of televised entertainment, special celebrity guests, and inspiring stories that introduce many B.C. and Yukon families

and the special services required by their children. These services are financed by the funds raised through events like the telethon, and the generous support of

telethon donors. The telethon will also recognize the many good works of caring individuals and organizations that assist and support the society’s Easter Seals initiatives

Students awarded for drawings Horse Lake Elementary School students entered a nation-wide contest, and one won second prize. The Radon Gas Poster Contest, launched by Interior Health and the BC Lung Association, was to educate students and the public about the dangers of radon gas. Kade Livingston was awarded a $300 cheque for second prize, while Kyle Wallace, Jake

Morton and Gavin McLean received honourable mentions, and received $50 cheques. Livingston, a Grade 6 student, did really well, explains teacher Julie Schuurman. “He was one of the students who wanted to look up what a radioactive symbol was and put it on his poster. He thought critically about it.” Radon, a radioactive, odourless and colourless gas naturally

occurring in the ground, is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, states Interior Health. While some radon gas can be found in most homes that are in contact with the ground, radon becomes more of a concern when it reaches high levels. About seven per cent of Canadian homes have radon levels that may be putting residents at risk, according

to Health Canada. However, the geology in the BC Interior favours radon, with high radon levels in approximately 40 per cent of homes, according to Interior Health. “Most of the kids hadn’t heard about it,” says Schuurman. “We talked about it a lot in class and they were surprised it’s something you can ▪ be breathing in and not even realize it.”

New online tools being developed A new online tool is being developed to help people with developmental disabilities prepare for work and break down barriers to employment, thanks to more than $153,000

in provincial Research and Innovation funding. The BC Centre for Employment Excellence is receiving the funding for an online mapping tool that will feature the

sharing of employment stories and experiences of individuals with developmental disabilities. This will help other

job seekers best prepare for employment and address any barriers they may experience in getting or keeping a job. The 74-week project

Vote now for your favourite charity

Folks can easily help a local charity this Christmas, simply by shopping in the South Cariboo. The Spirit of Christmas campaign is an easy way to support a local organization, which, in turn, supports the community, says 100 Mile House Free Press publisher Chris Nickless.

“Once again this year, the Free Press, along with participating businesses, are pleased to help promote the Spirit of Christmas and the charities that benefit from it.” There is a group of 13 participating businesses that folks can visit during their shopping excursions to enter their favourite choice

from a list of a dozen local charitable organizations. The charity with the most votes will win close to $1,000 donation, so vote now and vote often – there is no limit to the number of times you can visit a business to vote from now until Dec. 22. No purchase is necessary; all you have

to do is stop by at any and all of the participating businesses and vote for one of your community’s deserving societies. You’ll also be automatically entered to win other valuable prizes from weekly draws for 100 Chamber Bucks, and then the final, grand prize draw of 500 Chamber Bucks.

Paramedic pays it forward

Anyone shopping for Christmas groceries may wish to keep an eye out for a decorated ambulance collecting for local food hampers. BC Ambulance paramedic Jaqui Ward is organizing a Red & White Hunger Fight food drive that will see her and her helpers canvassing for non-perishable

donations outside of local grocery stores. Watch for the ambulance and volunteers at Save-On-Foods on Dec. 6 and at Safeway on Dec. 21. “It’s festive, we’ll put on our little reindeer hats and I’m going to have candy canes to hand out to those who donate.” They’ll also be handing out a

short-list of most-needed items for anyone unsure what to buy, and a jar for cash donations to food banks, she says. Ward is new to the community, and hopes to do as well as she did in Prince Rupert, where she filled the ambulance with food three times on two occasions for local folks in need.

To participate, watch for Spirit of Christmas entry pails in local businesses, or better yet, refer to the list of businesses in the advertisement on page A15. Then, when you head out for your seasonal or household shopping, just visit as many businesses as you can and cast your vote every time. Your participation in this unique campaign could even be a winwin situation because your favourite charity may win – and so might you.

Trees of Giving to benefit community resources

A new holiday fundraising event organized by Central GM in 100 Mile House is raising much needed funds, and awareness, for three local groups providing important services.

While speaking with representatives from those organizations, Central GM’s Deanna Deacon, in charge of marketing and community engagement, found out there’s a significant need at all three for financial support, espe-

Haircuts for low-income families

100 Mile Barber Shop owner Leah Pratt and Tina’s Hair Salon owner Tina Desrosiers will be donating their time and skill to give local lowincome folks a free haircut before Christmas. Pratt says they will team up together to offer these free haircuts on their regular day off at the 100 Mile Barber Shop on Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will open that Sunday only for community members who cannot otherwise afford a haircut, she explains. Everyone who does not have the cash to pay for a haircut before Christmas is welcome to go and get one for free on a first come, first serve basis. “It’s a public service as our gift to the community. It’s a tough time. We know there are families that want food and presents for their kids, and usually there is a sacrifice, and haircuts are often a sacrifice.” Christmas is a tough financial time for most lowincome families, and this is being done on good faith, Pratt notes. Those who know they can afford a haircut are asked to honour those who can’t by paying to have them done on another day. “This day is strictly for low-income folks and families that could use a hand. There is no money involved this day, unless perhaps you wish to donate to a food bank.”

A lot of thanks go to the teachers and principal Kevin McLennan and, of course, the students.

Winter driving event slated for seniors

Information, refreshments, learn about AGE-FRIENDLY Initiative By Arlene Jongbloets

Winter is upon us and with it comes the special challenges of driving on snow and ice. In an effort to both help seniors negotiate the season safely and to provide an opportunity for social connection, the South Cariboo AG E - F R I E N D LY Initiative, a program of the District of 100 Mile House and the South Cariboo Community Planning Council, has teamed up with Phil Doddridge, quality manager at Interior Roads – South Cariboo, to offer a free presentation on winter driving, geared especially for seniors. Doddridge has been giving versions of the presentation for nearly four years and says it always gets a good response. The presentation will include important and eyeopening information about temperature, shade and little indications of ice formation on the road that can make the difference. The event takes place Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to noon at Community Employment Services at 808 Alpine Ave. The presentation is expected to last approximately 45 minutes, after which guests will be invited to have a cup of coffee, socialize and learn more about AGE-FRIENDLY. Those who wish to attend the Winter Driving event are requested to RSVP to Lea Smirfitt by phone at 250-395-5642 or by e-mail at lea.smirfitt@ gov.bc.ca. A G E - F R I E N D LY strives to make 100 Mile House and the surrounding rural communities more accessible to seniors by improving communication

and creating a network to connect seniors across the South Cariboo. It provides access to helpful information and resources; creates linkages between seniors groups in all local pocket communities to share information; and develops a regular

Cariboo Coffee Time event where seniors can remain active and involved in the community while listening to guest speakers and socializing over a cup of coffee and refreshments. Further information about AGE-FRIENDLY can be obtained

by contacting the initiative’s community co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt at 250-3955642 or District liaison Councillor Ralph Fossum at 250-3954375. Arlene Jongbloets is the assistant to AGE FRIENDLY co-ordinator Lea Smirfitt.

Gaven Crites Free Press

The 100 Mile House Curling Club saw a great weekend of junior curling action, Nov. 29-30. Three teams from Prince George and three from 100 Mile House all went head-to-head in a round robin-style tournament. While it was teams from Prince George which

won the first two spots, the local rink of Ethan Sikiric won third place. “It was excellent curling,” says junior coach Maxine Todhunter. “The kids are really good curlers. They all really had a good time. They were tired because they curled five games in two days. It was a long stretch, but they held up really well.” Member's of Sikiric's rink included Elaine Hefer, Chance Bourassa and Logan Sikiric.

Also representing 100 Mile House were Ashley Holyk, Michelle Parkins, Haley McNabb, Naomi Villeneuve and Rachel Sikiric. Eric Schuurman, Kolton Lindner, Dirk Schuurman and Jordan Conway made up a third team. The bonspiel was in preparation for the Zone playdowns in Williams Lake, which go Jan. 23-25.

Wranglers battle Storm toe-to-toe

A number of key Wranglers weren't in the lineup when the local Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club faced off against the Doug Birks Division-leading Kamloops Storm in back-toback games in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House, Nov. 28-29. Despite the absence of Nick Headrick, Austin Turner, Tavis Roch and Stephen Egan, who were called up to the Prince George Spruce Kings of the British Columbia Hockey League, the Wranglers managed a 4-2 win against the Storm on Nov. 28, but fell 5-3 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre on Nov. 29. (Defenceman Jayden Syrota also missed the Nov. 28 game serving a

suspension.) As he's known to be, goalie Kristian Stead was fantastic all weekend, turning away 34 pucks in Williams Lake on Nov. 28, and 23 on Nov. 29. While Stead definitely bailed the club out at key moments, Wranglers coach Dale Hladun says overall the boys played well, considering the short bench and missing pieces. “[In Williams Lake], we didn't have three of our best offensive defencemen, and both our top centres. I was excited all week knowing we were shorthanded, and the kids were too, because it gave guys a chance to shine and a chance to buy in. They stepped up.” Continued on A22

Shorthanded Wranglers step up Hladun adds forward Michael Lynch did a great job playing defence in Williams Lake. Liam Cumberbirch returned after missing about a month of hockey with a concussion. While still not in top form, Cumberbirch did manage to step into a puck slid out to the blue line by Mickey Turner and one-time it past the Kamloops goalie to put 100 Mile House on the board in the first period on Nov. 29.

It was his first goal of the season, and it was

Liam Cumberbirch

an impressive one, but Cumberbirch “acted like he did it before,”

Hladun quips, pleased he got on the board. “The character came to the forefront, and the effort. There's a confidence amongst each other. I've got a tight room and the guys really do play for each other.” 100 Mile House hosts two division teams this weekend – the Sicamous Eagles at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6, and the Revelstoke Grizzlies at noon on Dec. 7. “There's a lot of confidence in that room,” the coach adds. “I don't see

Ski season inches closer

Recent heavy snowfall was likely a welcome sight for skiers and snowboarders looking forward to the upcoming downhill season in the South Cariboo. Operators at Mt. Timothy Ski Area, located near Lac la Hache, are very busy of late, prepping for a potential Dec. 13 start. Grooming the runs and readying the chair lift are top priorities, explains general manager Adam Piccolo.

“With all the snow falling we have a lot of work to do. We're going through literally every nut and bolt [on the lift] and making sure everything is 100 per cent before we open. That's quite a bit of work, but you have to make sure it's safe.” Meanwhile, a pre-Christmas, “stocking-stuffer” sale for Mt. Timothy lift tickets is going on now at local retailers.

No quit in Milers

Thursday, December 4, 2014 100 Mile Free Press

www.100milefreepress.net

100 Mile House's peewee rep hockey team nearly came from behind to reach the finals in a tournament in Revelstoke last weekend, but had a late goal called off and settled for third place. The Primal Electric Milers played five games in Revelstoke, Nov. 29-30. Against Penticton, Ethan Sanders won MVP with two goals and one assist, while Nate Wolstenholme, Sam Chabot, Robert Waldner and Cole Allan also scored goals in the

win. 100 Mile House jumped out to a early 3-0 lead against Kelowna with goals from Chabot, Colby Glen and Wolstenholme. Kelowna had it tied at three by the end of the second. Wolstenholme, who won MVP, would get the lead back in the third only to see Kelowna tie it again 4-4. Against Kamloops in the third game, Owen Pincott scored the 3-2 game-winner with 15 seconds left and won MVP. Primal Electric

Rowing club resurgence From A23

"And a healthy quota of junior rowers, some of whom row recreationally and others of whom have rowed competitively with great success during the past few years.” Jack Jenkins and Will Van Osch have provided expert coaching to beginners as well as to other Club members, and the Club is continually seeking new members interested in learning to row, Leslie adds. Jack Jenkins will continue coaching with the Club. “We're looking forward to a new season with a new president,” he says. “Murray Helmer is going to do a great job in

forwarding our profile. We're looking forward to that new resurgence on our board.”

played a Calgary team – Lake Bonavista – in its fourth game, needing a win to move on. Allen, Wolstenholme, Pincott and Jace Myers spotted 100 Mile a 4-1 lead after one period, and Sanders, Myers and Ethan Garland would add goals for the 7-3 win. Goaltender Ryan Balbirnie won MVP. In the semi-final against Revelstoke, Primal Electric came back to tie the game in

the third period, erasing a 4-1 deficit. Pincott scored twice and Sanders would tie the game at four. It appeared Sanders would give 100 Mile the lead, only to have the goal called off, explains manager Cale Tessaro. Revelstoke scored the winner, plus found the empty net, for the 6-4 win. Sanders won MVP. “The boys played hard and never quit all weekend,” adds Tessaro.

Top mark for Lydia Kinasewich

Gaven Crites Free Press

local student dedicated to her craft performed better than everyone in her province-wide category, earning a prestigious award from a well-respected and worldrenowned arts institution. Lydia Kinasewich, 14, of 108 Mile Ranch, was awarded a gold medal from The Royal Conservatory of Music recently in Vancouver for scoring the top mark in British Columbia on the Grade 8 Speech Arts and Drama examination. Headquartered in Toronto and founded in 1886, the Royal Conservatory of Music is an organization dedicated to music education. With attention to prose and delivery, Kinasewich

performed a number of dramatic readings for a Royal Conservatory examiner in Prince George in June. Her mark of 88 per cent was the highest in the province for her category. Kinasewich, who’s now in Grade 9, has been studying speech arts since the age of five. A regular in annual Festival of the Arts competitions, she loves drama and acting, which go hand-in-hand with speech arts. “I’ve made a lot of friends,” she says. “It’s been a good experience. “And I’ve gone down for the [Festival of the Arts] provincials, and that’s really cool. There are a lot of people down there and seeing the older kids doing it is really inspiring.” Ginny-Lou Alexander, who teaches out of her

home in 100 Mile House, is Kinasewich’s longtime coach. “She works very hard,” Alexander says of her student before a lesson on Nov. 25. “She does her due diligence, memory work and looking up what words mean. [She] really understands what she’s doing.” Perfecting the art of speaking has benefits, which transcend the world of arts, and there’s no telling where its pursuit will take you, the coach explains. “I really think it’s important to be able to communicate as you’re growing up. Communication is necessary. She can’t always just do it this way,” Alexander adds, thumbing an imaginary cellphone. “It’s certainly the opposite of texting.”

Ask an Expert:

How do I protect my pipes from freezing temperatures?

Wicked winter weather can cause plumbing pipes to freeze and possibly burst, causing flooding and costly water damage to your home. Taking preventive measures before winter sets in can reduce and eliminate the risk of frozen pipes and other cold-weather threats. Where the trouble lies Some pipes are more prone to freezing than others because of their location in the home. Pipes most at risk for freezing include: • Exposed pipes in unheated areas of the home. • Pipes located in exterior walls. • Any plumbing on the exterior of the home. Preventative measures for outside A frozen garden hose can cause more damage than a busted hose; it can actually burst an interior pipe. When the water in the hose freezes, it expands, increasing pressure throughout the whole plumbing system. As part of your regular seasonal maintenance, garden hoses should be disconnected, drained, and stored before the first hard freeze. If you don’t have frost-proof spigots, close the interior shut-off valve leading to that faucet, open and drain the spigot, and install a faucet insulator. They cost only a couple bucks and are worth every penny. Don’t forget, outdoor kitchens need winterizing, too, to prevent damage. Exposed interior plumbing Plumbing pipes in an unheated area, such as an attic, crawl space, and garage, are at risk of freezing. Often, inexpensive foam pipe insulation is enough for moderately cold climates. For severe climes, opt for wrapping problem pipes with thermostatically controlled heat tape (from $50 to $200, depending on length), which will turn on at certain minimum temps.

Early Years Centre celebrated

The grand opening of the South Cariboo Early Years Centre (SCEYC) in 100 Mile House welcomed dozens of people at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre (CFEC) recently. The SCEYC will help support families with children from birth to six years, and also help strengthen co-ordination of services and programs to better meet their needs. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett cut the ceremonial ribbon with the help of a large group of preschoolers, and gave a short speech. “I have to thank the board of the centre, and I have to thank Lisa De Paoli (CFEC executive director) ... she does a fabulous job filling in these [funding] applications, believe you me.” The SCEYC in 100 Mile House is one of 12 opening across the province to support families in rural locations. Barnett noted the centre’s mobile play group is also taking SCEYC services out to

From brewing to the police beat New RCMP member transitions from beer-making trade

Carole Rooney Free Press

mong the latest recruits at the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment is an enthusiastic new police officer with a background as a master brewer. Const. Sebastian Lipsett says he joined the detachment in June, straight out of Regina’s RCMP Academy, Depot Division. However, Lipsett says he has been contemplating police work since reflecting on his potential career choices back in 2000. He explains brewing won out back then, so in 2004, he began a decade of developing those skills, which brought him great enjoyment. Lipsett adds he holds a diploma in environmental science, and briefly worked on contract with the Summerland Trout Hatchery, where he collected roe and assisted with breeding fish and stocking lakes in the Interior. He is also a certified brew master. A trip to study beer-making in Germany and visit many timehonoured breweries around Europe helped solidify his earlier decision, and he then joined the trade full time in 2006, Lipsett explains. “In Kelowna, I was working at Tree Brewing and I made beer there, so, not exactly a seamless transition from brewer to cop.” However, this spring saw him undergo police training, which he says offered him a “really unique Canadian experience” and taught him how to be a true team player. Lipsett adds the time was right to join the force, and working in the RCMP offers him a challenge

and more job satisfaction than he got from brewing. “I felt like if I didn’t apply for it, I was going to ask myself ‘why’ for the rest of my life ... and it worked out really, really well. I have no regrets looking back, at all.” He likes the people in the community and at the detachment, he says, adding he is very impressed with their “very friendly, very open, very welcoming” attitude. All of his keen interests line up with South Cariboo living, as he “loves the country life, and the whole outdoor gambit,” particularly canoeing, camping, hunting and archery, Lipsett explains. “Before I even did my environmental science, I was already an outdoor guy. So, I’m really excited about it.” The new RCMP member adds he brought along his canoe and is looking forward to spending time on the lakes next year, as he has been “pretty busy” since June in orientation for his new role. He also plans to get a quad and a snowmobile and explore the Cariboo. Lipsett has resided in Kelowna for the past seven years – where he also married, in 2010 – and lived in the Okanagan Valley as a youth when his family moved from Ontario to Summerland in 1985. The years in between have seen him in various communities in British Columbia and Alberta for work and higher education, he notes. “I’m grateful that this is my first posting. I am excited and the area stimulates my interest in the outdoors. “I definitely could have been posted in the middle of a big city somewhere, and I would not be having as good a time.”

Christmas Carol Sheets Special Section of the

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say; He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day, So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.” Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, Running here and there all around the square sayin’, “Catch me if you can.” He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop, And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!” For Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way, But he waved good-bye, sayin’ “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again someday.” Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go; Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Deck the Halls Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la; “Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la; Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la; Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la. See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la; Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la; Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la, la la la, la la la; While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Angels We Have Heard on High Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains CHORUS: Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be That inspire your heav’nly song? CHORUS Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King CHORUS

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest ye merry, gentlemen; Let nothing you dismay, Remember, Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day, To save us all from Satan’s pow’r When we were gone astray. CHORUS: O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy! In Bethlehem, in Israel This blessed Babe was born, And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn, The which His Mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn. CHORUS From God, our Heavenly Father, A blessed angel came, And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same; How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name. CHORUS

The First Noel The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they, lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. CHORUS: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the East, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. CHORUS This star drew nigh to the northwest; O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right o’er the place where Jesus lay. CHORUS Then enter’d in those wise men three, Full rev’rently upon their knee, And offer’d there, in His presence, Their gold, myrrh and frankincense. CHORUS

The Shepherds at these tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway, The Blessed Babe to find. CHORUS

The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, CHORUS: The holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears the blossom, As white as the lily flower, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet saviour. CHORUS: The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas Day in the morn. CHORUS: The holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all. CHORUS

O Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant,

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh; O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way, Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright; What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.

(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) A newborn King to see; (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

CHORUS: O come, let us adore Him,

Our finest gifts we bring (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes. I love Thee Lord Jesus. Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.

The Little Drummer Boy Come, they told me

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem, Come and behold him, born the King of angels.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way; Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells. Jingle all the way; Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

To lay before the King, (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum-rum-pum-pum-

Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation; Sing all ye citizens of heav’n above:

pum-rum-pum-pum-pum)

Glory to God, in the highest. CHORUS

When we come.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee by glory giv’n:

(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) I am a poor boy too;

So to honour Him (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) Little Baby

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) I have no gift to bring

CHORUS

(Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum)

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

That’s fit to give our King. (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum-rum-pum-pumpum-rum-pum-pum-pum) Shall I play for You (Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum) On my drum?

That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold; “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heaven’s all gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing And ever o’er it Babel sounds The Blessed Angels sing.

CHORUS: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meet ing smile after smile, And on every street corner you’ll hear.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know. “May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.”

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write “May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.”

White Christmas

Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, And in case you didn’t hear.

When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm. But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-byeing, But as long as you love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It doesn’t show signs of stopping. And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee: “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You’ll go down in history.”

Here comes Santa Claus. Here comes Santa Claus. Right down Santa Claus Lane. He’ll come around when the chimes ring out Then it’s Christmas morn again. Peace on earth will come to all If we just follow the light. Let’s give thanks to the Lord above, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Sleighbells ring, are you lis’nin? What child is this, who laid to rest, In the lane, snow is glis’nin. On Mary’s lap is sleeping A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland. While shepherds watch are keeping? Gone away is the bluebird. CHORUS: Here to stay is a new bird. This, this is Christ the King, He sings a love song, as we go along, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Walkin’ in a winter wonderland. Haste, haste to bring Him laud, In the meadow we could build a snowman. The Babe, the Son of Mary. Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. Why lies He in such mean estate, He’ll say, “Are you married?” Where ox and ass are feeding? We’ll say, “No, man! Good Christian, fear, for sinners hear But you can do the job while you’re in town.” The silent word is pleading. Later on we’ll conspire CHORUS As we dream by the fire So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh. To face unafraid, the plans that we made, Come, peasant king to own Him. Walkin’ in a winter wonderland! The King of Kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. CHORUS

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Have yourself a merry little Christmas; Let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.

You better watch out; you better not cry; Better not pout; I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is coming to town.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas; Make the Yuletide gay. From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

He’s making a list and checking it twice; Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice; Santa Claus is coming to town.

Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more.

He sees you when you’re sleeping; He knows when you’re awake; He knows if you’ve been bad or good’ So be good for goodness sake!

Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow. Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

The news had come out in the First World War, The bloody Red Baron was flying once more. The Allied command ignored all of its men, And called on Snoopy to do it again. Was the night before Christmas, 40 below, When Snoopy went up in search of his foe. He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught. Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ring out from the land, Asking peace of all the world And good will to man The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights, He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight. Why he didn’t shoot, well, we’ll never know. Or was it the bells from the village below. Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world and good will to man. The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine, And forced him to land behind the enemy lines. Snoopy was certain that this was the end, When the Baron cried out, “Merry Christmas, my friend” The Baron then offered a holiday toast, And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host. And then with a roar they were both on their way, Each knowing they’d meet on some other day. Christmas bells those Christmas bells. Ringing through the land, Bringing peace to all the world and good will to man.

We three Kings

Oh little town of Bethlehem

We three kings of Orient are, Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, morr and mountain, Following yonder Star. Chorus: O, star of wonder, star of might, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Born a babe on Bethlehem’s plain; Gold we bring to crown Him again; King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. Chorus Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God on High. Chorus Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Seal’d in the stone-cold tomb. Chorus Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and sacrifice, Heaven sings, “Hallelujah!” Hallejujah!” Earth replies. Chorus

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above. While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love. Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given. So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in. Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray. Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell. O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.

Here we come a wassailing (caroling) Here we come a wassailing (caroling) Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wand’ring, So fair to be seen. Chorus: Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. We are not daily beggars Who beg from door to door, But we are neighbour’s children Whom you have seen before. Chorus We have a little purse Made of ratching leather skin. We want some of your small change. To line it well within. Chorus God bless the Master of this house, Likewise the Mistress too. And all the little children That round the table go. Chorus

Sleigh Ride Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingle-ing too, Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,

Let’s look at the show, We’re riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it’s grand. Just holding your hand.

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “Yoo-hoo.” Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

We’re gliding along with a song of a wintry fairyland. Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we. We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let’s go.

Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two. Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray. It’ll be the perfect ending of a perfect day. We’ll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop, At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! Pop! Pop! There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy, When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie. It’ll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives, These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
