As he formally assumed the mayor’s chair Tuesday, Walt Cobb said many people are looking forward to the next four years. “There are great expectations out there so we as a council had better perform,” Cobb said as he looked around the council table and out into the city hall chamber gallery, where around 100 people had gathered to witness the officially swearing in of the new council. Joining Cobb on council are Craig Smith, Jason Ryll, Laurie Walters, Sue Zacharias, Scott Nelson and Ivan Bonnell. Both Bonnell and Nelson have also served as mayors in years past. Cobb said bringing the community back together is forefront and with assistance from outgoing Mayor Kerry Cook and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, a group has been formed to tackle diversification, rebuilding and recovery, to address issues such as the pine beetle epidemic and the Mount Polley Mine tailings breach. Representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, the United Steelworkers, CaribooChilcotin-Coast Tourism Association, city council, the Business Improvement Area (BIA) and Cobb make up the committee.

LOCAL NEWS
Driving conditions change as winter kicks in Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Accumulated snow falls and frigid temperatures abruptly threw drivers into the winter zone last week and there were a few hiccups. Motorists trying to turn left at Hodgson Road off South Lake-
side on Saturday afternoon were detained because the turning light only came on every third green light. The city said Monday the problem had corrected itself but surmised the intermittent lighting may have been because the lanes were obscured by snow.
“People may not have been all the way inside the lanes like they normally would be, so the camera that picks up on cars waiting to turn left did not pick them up,” the city said. As the winter months unfold, the city is asking residents to have garbage carts to the curb
before 7 a.m. on collection day and to take them from the curb as soon as possible afterwards. For its part, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said the public can expect Highways 97 and 20 to be maintained first by its contractor Interior
Roads. “Following that we would drop down to our main commuter routes such as the ones that support school buses,” said Todd Hubner, the ministry’s Cariboo district manager. Below that is residential subdivisions, he added.
The rankings are determined by the ministry and take into account the type of traffic and the speed limits. Originally the duration of highway maintenance contracts was for 10 years. However, in 2013, the ministry offered companies an extension of an
additional five years. “There’s a significant investment required to capitalize equipment and yards,” Hubner said. “You don’t want to be changing contractors every few years. You want them to get into a bit of a rhythm, to get to know the snow issues in the region.”
Council appointments for committees made Tuesday Continued From Page A1 “We have a lot to offer in tourism, agriculture and forestry and we must be bold in broadcasting and promoting our strengths,” Cobb said. Cobb announced council appointments for committees and said the biggest change he’s made so far is making the executive committee fall directly within the mayor’s office. The executive committee will be responsible for economic development, First Nations relations, policing and
personnel. Joining Cobb on the committee will be councillors Scott Nelson and Jason Ryll. “As I stated in my campaign we will be looking for a new delivery model for economic development and that is a work in progress,” Cobb said. “We don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we need to find something that will work for us.” The mayor will represent the city at the Cariboo Regional District, Northern Development Initiative
Trust and CaribbooChilcotin Beetle Action Committee boards, he confirmed. Eager to re-establish some volunteer committees in order to determine what the public feels should, could or may take place in Williams Lake, Cobb said ideas from those committees can then become part of the city’s integrated community plan already in place. Council will advertise for volunteers to join the various committees in the New Year. “I don’t plan on letting you down and I await your input,”

AN APPLE A DAY... We always wish we had advance warning of a serious illness about to befall us. There is… for diabetes. It’s called prediabetes and is a sort of early alert system that says you might be moving toward a full diabetes diagnosis. This can be picked up by certain blood tests ordered by your doctor and if it shows you have prediabetes, lifestyle changes can be made to possibly avoid the disease. People have various reasons for not getting their flu shot each year. They may say it’s not perfect so why bother? Flu vaccine has saved many lives over the years and yes, it isn’t perfect, but with so few side effects it’s worth the effort. We encourage everyone, especially healthcare workers, to get their flu shot this year. Speaking of vaccines, there is a lot of work going on right now to find a vaccine against Parkinson’s Disease. An Austrian company has developed a vaccine that is in very early clinical trials. It has been well tolerated and the results have been positive. Money for the research has been provided by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. There has been much in the media about taking baby ASA for 5-10 years to reduce your risk of getting bowel, stomach and esophageal cancers. We know we can reduce cancer risk by stopping smoking and losing weight but this ASA method is showing promise. BUT, DO NOT start taking this drug without your doctor’s approval. It has side effects which can be damaging. Before you take it, talk about it. Good advice to follow with any medication.

TipS from The CrD
Christmas Tree Safety
As you deck the halls this holiday season, be fire smart. A small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can grow large very quickly.
Picking the tree
•
Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.
Placing the tree
• • • •
Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1–2” from the base of the trunk. Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit. Add water to the tree stand. Be sure to add water daily.
lighting the tree
• •
• •
Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Connect no more than three strands of mini string sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer’s instructions for number of LED strands to connect. Never use lit candles to decorate the tree. Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.
after christmas
Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home. Check with your local community to find a recycling program. Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer. Sponsored by

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer While many people in this part of the world are caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing for Christmas a nurse practitioner normally stationed in the West Chilcotin is witnessing first-hand the devastating effects of the Ebola virus. Patrice Gordon, who has nursed in the Chilcotin for nine years, left Canada on Nov. 26 to work at the Canadian Red Cross Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone, West Africa. With permission from Gordon, Interior Health has posted two dispatches with photographs from her on its

young boy who has lost his father (four days ago) and sister (just last night) to Ebola. “His mother is in the Kenema ETC (Ebola Treatment Centre) too,” Gordon wrote. “She is also infected and too ill to care for him. The little boy needs such close care – really he needs someone next to him every minute to give him sips of fluids, keep him from pulling out his IV line, give him medications, keep him clean and as fresh as possible.”

But workers aren’t allowed to touch the patients as Gordon learned in Madrid, Spain where she attended Ebola training before travelling on to Africa. In her Dec. 1 post Gordon described the training as “intense and sobering” but reassuring because of its “thoroughness.”
“One of the things that I anticipate finding difficult is the “notouch” nature of the mission,” she wrote. “For obvious reasons, we can’t use touch as a means to give comfort to our patients, but we also can’t comfort our colleagues with a hug. See GORDON Page A5

Gordon shares Ebola experience online Continued From Page A4 “When I reflect on the almost nil survival rate of children under the age of five who become infected with Ebola and then consider the natural impulse to comfort family and colleagues through touch ... well, I can imagine that being very challenging.” Gordon writes of having the “odd moment” of wondering what she’s doing there when she could be home hiking in the snow, but said those moments are fleeting. “I do know why I’m doing it. It’s important to sometimes make those moves towards something that I can imagine might make the world a bit of a better place – even though it doesn’t always feel comfortable or familiar and is sometimes a bit scary even. But generally, I’m fully positive about it and keen
to just get there and jump in.” Gordon has worked for Interior Health since 2003. Prior to taking the NP posting in the West Chilcotin almost a year ago, she worked for eight years as the community outreach nurse at Alexis Creek. “She loves it out there and the people really love her too,” said NP Sandi Lachapelle who was the nurse practitioner serving the West Chilcotin before Gordon. IH communications officer Susan Duncan has been posting Gordon’s posts verbatim and said Gordon was very willing to share the information. “It’s really gripping reading and fascinating information,” she said, adding when Gordon returns to Canada she will have to go into self-quarantine. To follow Gordon’s posts go to Interior Health on Facebook.

Certainty in an Uncertain World FRIDAY DECEMBER 5
Credit union donates $100,000 to TRU Christmas has come early for the Health Centre at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake with a hefty pledge by the Williams Lake and District Credit Union of $100,000 over the next 10 years to assist in the centre’s operation. “Williams Lake and District Credit Union is pleased to be able to partner with Thompson Rivers University to offer this important service to Williams Lake and area,” CEO Jim Zimmerman said in announcing the do-
nation. “A commitment to social responsibility is one of the guiding principles of our business, and funding the Community Health Centre allows us to support two high priority areas — healthcare and education.” TRU executive director Ray Sanders said the donation has resulted in renaming the health centre the Williams Lake and District Credit Union Community Health Centre. “We are excited to partner with the com-
munity to offer services and programs that enrich the quality of life,” Sanders said. “We are grateful to all our partners and especially to those we celebrate today.” Nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle, who manages the clinic, said the credit union responded after a call went out from TRU asking if anyone was interested in providing corporate sponsorship. “They’ve been supportive since the beginning,” Lachapelle said. “They initially provid-
ed us with $3,000 to buy equipment when we first opened.” The $10,000 a year from the credit union will help cover operational costs, she added. The Williams Lake & District Credit Union Community Health Centre offers the community an alternative to going to the emergency room. It is also used for the university’s School of Nursing students to complete their clinical practice and learn about day-to-day operations in a health clinic.

A sobering thought The lights are strung, the sales are on, Santa is magically appearing in public places throughout the Cariboo, listening to wish lists; yes, the Christmas season is upon us. With the season come the parties, and, in turn, the increased alcohol consumption. It’s a sad fact that every year, we must remind people of the alternative transportation options available in an effort to curb impaired driving. It’s a sadder fact that many people will read this and pay no heed. The Williams Lake RCMP have begun their Christmas enforcement, which means a greater presence on the road, including impaired driving “check-stops.” If you are convicted of drinking and driving you will be in line for a hefty fine, confiscation of your driver’s licence, and a criminal record. Is the risk really worth the cost of a cab? Preparing for a court date is
no way to celebrate the holidays. Take a cab, use Operation Rednose, have a designated driver, or stay where you are. Either that, or suffer the consequences. Oh sure, you might beat the charge — there are plenty of lawyers willing to fight for you, at a price. But an impaired driving charge is not the worst case scenario, not by a long shot. Lives are at stake here — yours, and those of innocent victims. There is only one thing you can do to ensure you are not the cause of any such tragedy. Think about it before having that third eggnog, or ordering that second bottle of wine with dinner. Make alternative arrangements. Let’s keep the Williams Lake and the Cariboo safe this Christmas season. - Black Press

The substance that holds us together hidden in all Rarely — just a few times in a lifetime, the world suddenly shifts, spins, then presents itself in a whole new way. My first scuba dive was one of those times. The small boat was pitching violently on the choppy water. A storm had come to the islands and scrambled what was supposed to be the balmy blue Caribbean. The boat heaved and wrenched, rapidly transforming novices like me into an ecological shade of green — until we all went in the water. With a giant stride and a mask smashed to my face, I sank below the surface, and in an instant everything changed. The turmoil was gone. The stinging salt spray vanished. Gentle sea fans wafted back and forth. Corals stretched

Living out Loud

as far as the eye could see. A turtle grew curious then swam away. The ocean hammock rocked me weightlessly. Occasionally a new idea crawls into our thinking and we are never the same again. It happened the day I exchanged the wild surface for the tranquil beauty of the
water. It can even happen above the sea. At this time of year, many people turn a thought or two to God, however, they define him, her, or otherwise. There are so many choices — good, bad, wimpy, forceful, personal, disinterested, laughing, angry or tender. We even create images on our front lawns that represent those hopes. Not long ago a DVD presentation by Mr. Louie Giglio transformed my ordinary musings into the almost unreachable. When I surfed to Google to check the information he claimed, I sat there, upended in my thinking, delighting in the greatest joke God has ever played on me. While looking at the structure
of connective tissue, I saw what is hidden in every one of us — what holds us together. That substance which keeps us sane, active, and useful. It connects flesh and bone in you, me — everyone. It shapes us into something beyond Jello. If you want to see it, too, just search “laminin” at images. google.com. The world shifted for me in that instant. There are many other viewpoints than mine. But the delight I felt that day has never left me. Laughing still, I envision a God mighty enough to keep me from slumping into slime. A being that can act as a mother hen or a star-breather, yet the ultimate un-threat. A baby willing to get dirty to get me clean — the greatest show-and-tell of
all time. Perhaps what we are living through now isn’t the ‘norm,’ but something temporary. Could there have been better times long ago? Is the best yet to come? The swells still snare my stomach on the deck of a small boat, but not as fully as the undersea enchantment. Clinging to the railing now only creates a grinning anticipation of happy times to come. A time when turmoil, both under and above the sea, is over. LOL@wltribune.com is offering a copy of the Giglio DVD for this week’s first e-mail response. I would love to hear from you, and perhaps I’m not the only one. Rita Corbett is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Nisga’a prove their critics wrong It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. 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 are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week. The B.C. 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 production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week. In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state — that’s what it is, so get used to it.

The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there. “We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell. The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of victims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras running. Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a
legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support. Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour. Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip 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 self-government.
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.

Ringing in the season

Town crier Harry Jennings rings in the holiday season during the Williams Lake Santa Claus Parade last Saturday.
Christmas season the perfect time for turkey Many folk are starting to think about their Christmas dinner, and most often people have at least one dish that is turkey. The name turkey was first given in England to the guinea fowl, which was originally introduced into the country from West Africa. Turkeys were discovered in Mexico, where they have been domesticated for some time by the Spaniards who are said to have brought them to Europe in the early 1550s. It is recorded that by 1555 the turkey was a prized table bird. It seems that not until the reign of Queen Anne was the turkey as we know it today. More turkeys are eaten at Thanksgiving and Christmas
Ken’s Country Kitchen
with Ken Wilson
than any other time of the year. Can you imagine if you were a turkey at this time of the year. You may be going around saying goodbye to family and friends or looking for a good religious turkey that could give you the last “gobble” rights.
You would know perhaps that your life was going to be short lived and the only hope would be that you would go to a nice family who would appreciate your fine body. I like turkey, especially the dark meat, which I believe is the most tasty and tender, however, if the bird is cooked right, the white meat should also be especially moist. The only problem I have with turkey is that there are normally leftovers for days on end and only creative turkey dishes can make me eat the bird for several days after the ‘big meal.’ Here’s a recipe that came from a friend in Regina, Sask., who was happy eating only the breast of the big bird.
Before Christmas Turkey Breast (or perhaps left over turkey breast) • One-half cup dry white wine • One-quarter cup sesame oil • One-quarter cup soy sauce • Three tablespoons fresh lemon juice • Five tsp minced garlic • One tsp dried thyme • One-half teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • One boneless turkey breast Mix all ingredients of the marinade in a large plastic bag. Place turkey breast in a large plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Remove turkey, and transfer marinade to a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Grill turkey breast, basting
with reserved marinade, until the temperature registers 175 to 180 degrees, about 35 to 45 minutes . Transfer turkey to a cutting board and slice crosswise. Arrange slices onto a platter, spoon boiled marinade over the turkey slices. Enjoy! You could use a cooked breast and marinate it for about four hours and warm in a pan with marinate. Make sure you are getting organized for your Christmas dinner. Now is the time. Three weeks from today we will be eating left-overs. Bye for now and GOOOD COOKING.

Community members made sure to share their love and knowledge of the Flat Rock area between Esler down to the Fraser River during a Williams Lake Community Forest meeting held Tuesday at TRU. Parts of the Flat Rock area will be harvested in the future by the community forest, which is a partnership between the City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band. Looking at a topographical map outlining the block, local resident
Bette McLennan said she recreates in the area as a member of the Williams Lake Wanderers Club. “We’re up there three times a week doing different things,” McLennan said. “We hike, bike, snowshoe. We need to let them know about all the areas we know about.” Agreeing club member Linda Isfeld said there are lots of meadows they hike through up there. “It’s a great location because it’s so close to town,” Isfeld added. Williams Lake Cycling Club president
Shawn Lewis said there is an existing network of trails in the area used avidly by cyclists. “Those trails would lose their lustre if people were riding through clear cuts,” he said. McLennan asked the community forest’s manager Ken Day if he realized there were dozens of quiggly holes at the northwestern part of the block as well. Day said he did and under the Forest Planning and Practice Act, the community forest must plan around a comprehensive list of values and objectives such as cultural heritage
resources. Other values include soils, timber, wildlife, water, fish and fish habitat in fisheries-sensitive watersheds, wildlife and biodiversity at the landscape level and stand level and visual quality. Happy with the turnout at the meeting, Day said all of the information gathered Tuesday will be used to help develop a forest stewardship plan for the block. “After the stewardship plan is completed then future planning will focus on specifics to guide our practices on the ground,” he said. Once the stewardship
draft plan is completed it will have to approved by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations and then reviewed by the public. The community forest also has another block north east of Williams Lake — the Potato Block. A similar public meeting will be scheduled to gather public input some time in January, board member Thomas Foley said. “If people want to provide comments electronically they can go to the community forest website,” Foley added.

When Oliver Berger told me about his project to ski the smaller, not so well known hills in B.C. together with Morgan Day, also of Williams Lake, my mind immediately went into overdrive. Did Oliver mention they made short films about the different hills called Shred the Nar? Wouldn’t these short films be just perfect for the Williams Lake Film Club? Ever the good sport Oliver made a couple of discs for me and starting this Saturday, Dec. 6 we will show the first seg-

shows snow boarding on Mt. Timothy. You will see the different trails, the beautiful countryside, and many faces you prob-
ably know, including Oliver’s parents, Willy and Verena Berger. I love Oliver and Morgan’s idea of showcasing the small-
er, less-known ski hills. They obviously had a lot of fun and hopefully this will convince you to visit these places instead of automatically flocking to the larger overcrowded hotspots. Morgan will be present at our screening on Saturday, Oliver unfortunately is out of town. I will ask Morgan to stay for refreshments after our screening to answer all of your questions. That should be great fun! Bring another dollar for a cool bumper sticker Shred the Nar to support their efforts.

munity opening their generous hearts during this trying time of year that we are able to make it possible,” Riplinger says. Donations of $11 for an individual plate or $44 for a family of four are being accepted by the Child Development

Which Way Home documentary Saturday Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor
The Williams Lake Film Club will be showing the documentary Which Way Home, this Saturday, Dec. 6. The film about the U.S.-Mexico Border Fence and the people who try to cross it every day, will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 2 p.m. Back door open at 1:30 p.m. Director Rebecca Cammisa planned to finish this documentary in about a year and a half, but through many problems with numerous authorities, a hurricane and other difficulties, the filming took more than six years. Cammisa was fortunate that John Malkovich was her executive producer and his company Mr. Mudd, financed it. You may not have

The US-Mexico Border Fence, also called the Great Wall of Mexico, is about 2,000 miles long. Not only adults, but also a huge number of children try daily basis to cross this Border Fence to reach the U.S. Many of these children come from Guatemala and Honduras and ride the train through Mexico to the Border. The train is aptly called The Beast as it can take you toward your destination, but it also can kill you. The documentary follows several children on their frightening and sometimes exhilarating journey. There is no narration in this documentary, the director lets the children and various adults tell their own stories. Many of them flee from poverty, neglect,
abandonment, and abuse, more and more nowadays from drug gangs. Some of them want to find a parent and a good life in the U.S. describing the States as they know it from TV programs. Many of them travel alone with only the clothes on their backs. For the year 2014 the U.S. expects about 90,000 children. Which Way Home will move you in other unexpected ways, when you see the helpers along the way, providing some food, clothing, or simply a safe place to sleep for one night. The Christmas season has started so we ask you to please be generous and once again bring a gift for the food bank. And a great big thank you to the City and CRD from the
Bird count set for Dec. 14 Phil Ranson Special to Tribune/Advisor Sunday, Dec. 14 will mark the 47th consecutive year the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have conducted the Christmas Bird Count in Wil-
liams Lake and 115 years since the original count was undertaken in 1900. Last year’s count of 3,953 birds of 47 species was below the 10year average of 4,200 birds of 53 species and it’s difficult to predict
what will turn up on Sunday, Dec. 14. Feeder watchers contribute greatly to the count and the field naturalists encourage everyone with a feeder to let us know what they see on count day. The count area is
Williams Lake Film Club. They have found the funds to install some very necessary screening equipment in the Gibraltar Room. Hurray! Now the picture and the sound are great!

Williams Lake Operation Red Nose in full ride mode While Operation Red Nose was ready and waiting Friday to give safe rides home to locals, nobody called for a ride. “It was likely too cold for everyone,” said Dave Dickson, community-safety co-ordinator. “We had 17 volunteers and gave zero rides.” By Saturday, however, things heated up and the program’s 24 volunteers were kept very busy. They gave 51 rides and transported 116 people safely home,” Dickson said. Rides will be continue to be offered each Friday and Saturday up until Dec. 31.

Feeding wolves One of the things about the native culture that attracts me is the story-telling wisdom of the elders, especially with their children. A well-known native story I love sharing is about an elder who had many children. At night he would often share his wisdom and life stories around the fire with his children. He told this story: Children, there are two wolves at war with each other. One wolf represents hatred, violence, discord, anger, frustrations, envy, greed and an unwillingness to forgive. The other wolf represents love, kindness, gentleness, peace, generosity and forgiveness. It is a very terrible war. A war that is within me. Not only is it in me, it is in you too. All of you. And it is also in everyone. Then one of the grandsons tugged at his tunic and said, “Grandpa, Grandpa, which wolf will win?” “The one you feed,” Grandpa replied. The elder’s story reminds me of the famous line: “You are what you eat.” What we feed ourselves is what will eat us up. By being unwilling to forgive we allow negativity to take control us and “eat us up”. To help combat this dilemma,
PARSONS PEN
BY Father Derrick Jesus, who is God sharing in our humanity, can help us to find freedom. Through his words and sacraments Jesus shows us how to overcome the evil forces in our lives. Step number one is to find the grace to realize that this evil force is devouring us. Step number two requires us to ask for help to overcome the thing that is eating us up. Step number three involves taking baby steps to reverse the negative trend. Step four asks us to persevere with Jesus’ help and trust in Him.
For example, if someone is trapped by an unwillingness to forgive they need to stop and recognize that it is controlling them. They then need to ask for the help from Jesus to overcome this unbearable mountain. One way to do that is to reverse the pattern and pray for that person, even using Jesus’s words on the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). Try to look for positive qualities in the person to offset the overwhelming negative build up. Then, at the appropriate time and place, if possible, try to say positive things about them and even try to be kind to them if the opportunity arises, and it is safe to do so. If the person who has hurt you keeps coming to mind, then pray for them. If the thoughts about that person persist all day then keep praying. Remember it will take one thought at a time with Jesus’ help to move mountains. As the gospel tells us in Jesus’ own words: “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him”. Luke 11:23

“Oh! My gosh we won,” Angela Harris Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Angela Harris and her band The High Bar Gang won Vocal Group of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards in Ottawa Saturday night. Harris and five of the seven High Bar Gang members were just about to deliver the encore for their sold out Grand Cariboo Opry show in Bragg Creek, Alberta when they got the news by text from fellow band member Shari Ulrich. “We were elated to say the least and Barney made the announcement to the crowd from the stage,” Harris says. “It was a great feeling! Shari was at the awards event because she was up for a few solo awards as well.” She says Ulrich won the English Songwriter of the Year Award and accepted the Vocal Group of the Year

Award on behalf of The High Bar Gang. The High Bar Gang won for their album Lost and Undone: A Gospel Bluegrass Companion. Ulrich won for her song Everywhere I Go. Harris grew up and lived in Williams Lake and area before moving to Vancouver to pursue her music career. The High Bar Gang includes noted Canadian musicians and singers Barney Bentall, Eric Reed, Wendy Bird
and Rob Becker who were with her on stage last Saturday night in Bragg Creek and Colin Nairne and Shari Ulrich. “We have yet to be together to celebrate but we have a show on Dec. 6 in Brackendale, B.C. so we will raise a toast to one another then I’m sure,” Harris says. In the midst of touring all of November for her fifth season with the Grand Cariboo Opry, Harris says she has been campaigning for crowd funding on Indie Gogo to raise the $15,000 she needs to record her fourth album titled A Woman Like Me. “It took me two years to finish this album and I’m very proud to say that it’s my best work yet!” Harris says. “The songs on this record have raised the bar for me and I believe it has the ability to break some new
ground — perhaps it’s all the incredible talent that I have been fortunate to work with these past few years that is rubbing off on me and inspiring me to reach new heights!” She says the album touches on resilience, power of love and the fragility of one’s heart. “I wrote this record with the intent of inspiring and empowering people to strive for excellence, face hardships head on, live without fear of failing, embrace life and to love all the way through it all,” Harris says. She has about 21 per cent of the funds needed to produce the album and only 15 days left to complete her fundraising effort. People who would like to help Harris
raise the funds can review a video of a new song that will be on the record at http://igg.me/ at/Help-AngelaHarrisRe c o rd - A - Wo m a n Like-Me. Or go to #SupportAngelaHarris #crowdfunding #AWomanLikeMe. For more on the Canadian Folk Music Awards go to http://folkawards.ca/past-years/ results-2014/ (the maple leaf marks the winner). “What a wonderful and truly amazing journey this past few years has been,” Harris says. “Thanks so much to you all for your undying support and encouragement! With a new album to record and release, there’s a lot more touring and good times ahead! I am so excited for 2015!”

Realtor Tips of the Week: Remember to exercise a few precautions before plugging in your lights this year.
3. Do not pierce the cord with thumbtacks or nails, use large enough staples instead
1. Use lights and extension cords approved for outdoor use only if you’re plugging in outside
4. Never touch a string of lights that you suspect may be damaged until the power is shut off
2. When hanging lights be sure that all plugs are well above the ground – away from moisture
5. To be on the safe side, don’t join more than three strands of lights at a time

The River Ranch team of Ed Russell (from left), Racquel Russell, Ricky Seelhof and Chad Seelhof rode away as one of the top eight teams from the Edmonton, Alta., Farm Fair International Heritage Ranch Rodeo in November. For the placement, the team was invited back to next year’s rodeo.
River Ranch team rides to success at Farm Fair International Heritage Ranch Rodeo Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The River Ranch team rode, roped and sorted its way to a topeight finish in Edmonton, Alta., recently at the Farm Fair International Heritage Ranch Rodeo. The eighth-place overall finish at the event, which took place Nov. 4-6, saw River Ranch cowboys and cowgirls Ed Russell, Racquel Russell, Chad Seelhof and Ricky Seelhof compete as one of just two teams from B.C. “We did quite well,” said River Ranch team
member Ricky. “We were second going into the finals out of 16 teams, then they completely reset the points so none of ours from before counted and we started all over again and ended up eighth.” At the Heritage Ranch Rodeo teams competed in multiple events including ranch bronc riding, team doctoring, cattle sorting, branding, a ranch horse competition and a saddle horse race. “Ranch bronc riding is different from rodeo bronc riding because you ride in your stock saddle — the regular
saddle you ride in every day,” Ricky said. “For team doctoring you’re given a cow — they’re numbered one to nine — and you have to head them and heel them, then you mark the animal where you would treat it like it was sick.” In cattle sorting two team members take turns separating cattle into pens, all in a race against the clock, while just one team member competes in the ranch horse competition. The eight-place finish now guarantees the River Ranch team an invite to next year’s
Heritage Ranch Rodeo. “We’re pretty happy to make it back,” she said. Also at the event was a horse sale where Ed claimed the topselling horse, which sold for $8,500. “A huge thanks to River Ranch, owned by Tommy and Donna Ilnicki, and the Williams Lake Stampede Association for their kind sponsorship in helping us for our trip to Edmonton,” Ricky said. “We had a great time and are looking forward to representing B.C. again next year.”

Canada, Moleschi, reach quarterfinals at Dubai Sevens Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi and her Canada Women’s Sevens teammates have advanced to the quarterfinals of the Dubai Sevens, part of the Rugby World Women’s Sevens Series Cup. Canada finished day one Dec. 4 with two wins and one loss at the Dubai Sevens. After opening the day with two wins, Canada dropped its final match to England, 17-12. Earlier in the day, Canada beat Brazil 2610 to open the tournament and followed that up with a convincing 47-5 win over Fiji, including a try scored by Moleschi. Canada will now face its North American rival, the U.S., in the quarterfinals. It is Canada’s ninth straight
World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series Cup quarterfinal. Last season they made cup semifinals at every series event. All matches are being streamed live at www.worldrugby.org/ womens-sevens-series. And with 2016 Olympic Games quali-
fication on the line, Canada has an opportunity to solidify its spot by finishing the year in the top four of the standings. Following the Dubai Sevens the series shifts to Brazil, the U.S., Canada and England, before finishing in May in the Netherlands.

Mt. Timothy and Bull Mountain gearing up for seasons Angie Mindus Staff Writer With all the fresh snow blanketing the lakecity and its surroundings in recent days, it’s hard not to be distracted by thoughts skiing. Downhill skiers will be thrilled to hear Mt. Timothy Ski Area has set Dec. 13 and 14 as its opening weekend, with hopes of offering as many as 17 beginner and intermediate runs to patrons. “It’s looking really good out there,” said Mt. Timothy on-site administration manager, Alisha Piccolo. “The groomer is out setting the base as we speak.” Piccolo estimates 60 cm of snow has already fallen on the local hill, located about 30 minutes east of Lac La Hache, with much more of the white stuff forecasted for the days to come. As well as lots of snow, skiers will also be greeted with 45 thick, new cushion pads on the chairlift, made possible through an ongoing fundraiser. Sponsors can make a $500 donation in exchange for an advertising space on the pads as well as get a receipt for tax purposes. “We’re hoping to sell more and have new cushions from top to bottom,” Piccolo said. There will also be a new manager in the kitchen and a new menu for the season, she said, noting there will be a few items available on opening weekend as the kitchen gets set up for full-time service over the holidays. Beginning Dec. 20 Mt. Timothy will be open every day through until Jan. 4, excluding Christmas day. This weekend Mt. Timothy is hosting a training weekend for its 23 full-time and part-time seasonal staff to prepare for opening day. “We’re really excited for the season,” said Piccolo. “We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones out enjoying the mountain.” A little closer to home, the Williams Lake CrossCountry Ski Club is thrilled to announce that 15 kilometres out of a total of 28 have been groomed with tracks set on both sides and about another 20 km have at least single tracks at Bull Mountain.
Club communication co-ordinator Kirsty Gartshore reports the classic skiing is great with several of the groomers and die-hards trying it out. “Skate skiing in the
middle between the two sets of tracks is still a little rough but with a bit more snow to pack down this will improve,” she said. About 60 people attended the open house
held at the library last weekend with 64 skiers registering for a season’s pass and sharing new ideas for the winter ahead. The club’s learn-to-ski
children’s program Jackrabbits will get underway Sunday, Dec. 14 from 1 to 3 p.m. and will run Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings until March.
Gartshore said an interesting inversion has been happening at Bull Mountain this week with warmer temperatures up at the hill in town offering great conditions for skiers.
“ I would encourage everyone to get out and get up there for some early season classic skiing! Conditions are often posted on our blog at http:// wlccsc.blogspot.ca/.”
