Changes lead to fewer resident hunting tags Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The B.C. government’s updated wildlife allocation policy is drawing the ire of the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF)

and local hunters while the Guide-Outfitters Association of B.C. (GOABC) is welcoming the changes. The BCWF said the changes will dramatically reduce residents’ access to wild game and

increase the number of permits sold to foreign big game trophy hunters. “This will impact our local resident hunters in a huge way,” said Moe Monita, president of the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s

Association. “I’ve done the calculations and it will mean a loss of 3,500 hunts for the province’s resident hunters.” See GUIDE-OUTFITTERS Page A3

Mine breach panel receives submissions Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The independent engineering panel investigating the Aug. 4 Mount Polley Mine disaster has received 23 written submissions from individual citizens and interest groups. Ten days after the breach, which resulted in the release of 17 million cubic metres of water and 8 million cubic metres of tailings into Hazeltine Creek, Polley and Quesnel Lakes, the B.C. government, with support of local First Nation bands, ordered an independent engineering investigation into the spill. In November, the three-member panel put out a call for submissions from the public and interest groups exclusive dealer

whole bunch of documentation from when the mine was being planned to its operation, to various reports along the way,” Richter said. Panel members have examined reports from the mining company, from different firms that have been engaged throughout the mine’s life and different government agencies. They’ve also ordered laboratory tests, done modelling, looked at mining in other jurisdictions, and conducted interviews and meetings with a variety

He will be travelling with his good friends and helpers The Miocene Volunteer Fire Department. Santa Claus is expected to arrive at the first cattle guard on the Spokin Lake Road at 4:00 pm where he will then travel down the Spokin Lake Road and all side roads heading to the Horsefly Road. He will then proceed down the Horsefly Road with a quick stop at Miocene Community Club Hall, then on towards Allpress Road including all side roads, from there to Rose Drive with his last stop down Branch Drive. He is looking forward to seeing ALL the good residents of Miocene, young and old alike along his route.

Mine site settlement ponds go into effect Two settlement ponds installed in lower Hazeltine Creek went into operation last Friday as part of the restoration work being done by Mount Polley Mine Corporation in the aftermath of the tailings breach. As water continues to flow from Hazeltine and Edney Creeks into Quesnel Lake it will be stopped in the settlement ponds for a minimum of 24 hours, said Steve Robertson, vicepresident of corporate affairs for Imperial Metals. “When water comes down the creeks it has a chance to de-energize in the settlement ponds and lose the coarser suspended sediment before it flows out into Quesnel Lake,” Robertson said. The company will

continue to monitor the water quality, to take readings on the input and output at the settlement ponds, and measure how much sediment is building up in the bottom of the ponds. Because of current high turbidity levels, however, the company is providing water to all residents that rely on Quesnel Lake for water, Robertson said.

Dam repairs The Chief Inspector of Mines has approved an amendment to the Mount Polley Mine Corporation Mines Act permit to allow the company to begin repairs of the breach in its tailings storage facility dam. “When freshet comes we’re expecting a whole bunch of water and will need a large pond to handle it because we cannot do it through pumping and piping alone,” Robertson said. Before the breach, the crest of the dam was about 970 metres above sea level. The plan is to build it back up to about 950 metres to fortify its holding capacity. In the meantime, the company is in discussions with First Nations and government about the possibility of a short-term restart of the mine, however, the company has yet to submit an application to government for that restart, Robertson said.

Council re-opens Dutch Point Road boat launch to vehicles Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The newly elected mayor and three councillors have overturned a contentious decision this week on lake access made by the former council. Vehicle access to the Dutch Point Road boat launch was re-

opened Wednesday after city council voted Tuesday to rescind the Nov. 4 decision to close vehicle access. Councillors Scott Nelson, Jason Ryll, Craig Smith and Mayor Walt Cobb voted in favour of re-opening it, while councillors Ivan Bonnell, Laurie Walters and Sue Zach-

arias were opposed. Ryll said he was concerned that by shutting the vehicle access the community would be forced to find or improvise illegal access to the lake. “Dutch Point is really the only lake access that is city owned,” Ryll said. “I do understand the through-

way concerns the local residents have, but I am worried we’re just moving the problem from one area to the next by closing the access point.” Nelson said in the 35 years the boat access has been used there has not been a single accident in the location.

“To try and fluff the report with the seriousness of liability is a bunch of B.S.” Nelson said. “The reality is the resolution to close the vehicle access that came forth previously should not have come forward.” Walters disagreed saying the previous council did due dili-

gence and the decision to close the vehicle access there was not taken lightly. “I don’t think we’re fluffing it up,” she said. “The vote of the council of the day was predominantly a safety concern and I stand by that concern.” The city said Wednesday the no-

parking signs on the Dutch Point Road will remain in place and will be monitored by the city’s bylaw office. In breaking the tie, Cobb said when and if there is another access to the lake in place, then at that time he would consider closing the boat access at Dutch Point.

21 per cent of the available moose after conservation measures and First Nations allocation were determined. “Guide-outfitters are last in priority,” Maitland said. Under the new policy, the split will give outfitters in Region 5 25 per cent of the available moose and resident hunters 75 per cent, which will be closer to historical levels for guide-outfitters, Maitland said. Local hunter Jeff Knox, however, said

the policy changes will not be good for a region that’s already seen a steady decline in moose. Knox was hunting out west this fall for 10 days and did not get a moose. “We saw one bull and 10 cows and a couple pairs of calves,” Knox said. And the tag draw odds worsen every year for resident hunters, he added. “I have friends who have put in a moose draw for 17 years and have never pulled a

tag. So then you have to go up north to go moose hunting, but you’re just adding to the problem there.” Critical of government’s argument that guide outfitting is a huge generator of tourism dollars into the B.C. economy, Knox said there are 102,000 resident hunters in B.C. spending lots of money to hunt each year. The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association alone has roughly 1,000 members, Monita said.

Guide-Outfitters applaud Liberal changes Continued From Page A1 The Guide-Outfitters said legislating a fixed allocation of category A animals will mark the return of co-operation and partnership between the recreational resident hunter and guide outfitting community. In announcing the policy, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources said a clear split for each harvest will result in less discretion in the hands of regional

managers and more certainty for all user groups. Specific numbers provided by the ministry show there will be Limited Entry Hunting authorization decreases for resident hunters in Region 5 as a result of the policy. For 2015 the ministry predicted the number of grizzly bear LEH authorizations for resident hunters will drop from 138 to 114, with 24 going to guide-outfitters. For moose it will drop from 2,447 to 2,400, with 47

going to guide-outfitters and for mountain goat, the LEH authorizations for resident hunters will drop from 67 to 65. The LEH reductions come in addition to the cuts that were put in place a few years ago because of the declining numbers of moose in the region, Monita said. “This is unacceptable. There’s no doubt we will be writing to our MLA.” However, Stuart Maitland of the Cariboo-Chilcotin Guide-

Outfitters, who has guided in the region for 35 years, said in the past, resident hunters and outfitters in each region would meet and negotiate hunting splits. “Then in 2006 the government came up with a policy because it was changing all the time and things were inconsistent,” Maitland said. “When the policy was implemented in 2007 it had devastating effects on the outfitters.” Before the policy, guide-outfitters had

AN APPLE A DAY...

We’re in the middle of the cough and cold season with all the usual symptoms like sore throat, nasal stuffiness, runny nose and of course, coughing and sneezing. The colour of the nasal discharges is sometimes a concern. If it’s green, it doesn’t mean you need an antibiotic. It’s just a sign that your body is fighting off the infection. Colds are incurable and they will run their course in 7-10 days. It’s almost impossible to develop an immunity to the common cold. A cold can be caused by any of hundreds of viruses that can invade our bodies. These viruses are masters of adaptation so they are always changing which makes it difficult for our bodies to build up an immunity to them. There are products on the market that say they will lessen or shorten the duration of cold symptoms. Echinacea and zinc are often mentioned. Although the evidence for echinacea is still inconclusive, zinc does appear to shorten the duration of a cold by a day or two. Colds are part of life in the winter in Canada. The virus is passed on by touching infected people or surfaces. It can be inhaled from a person coughing or sneezing. These particles can last for quite a while in the air. The best prevention, minimize your contact with people with colds. Wash your hands often during the day and try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands so you don’t inoculate yourself with the virus. Talk to our pharmacists for cold-symptom relief. We can help.

The Tribune/Weekend Advisor’s annual Food and Toy Drive was another huge success last Saturday. In two-and-a-half hours Saturday a steady stream of people brought toys and gifts for children and teens and bags of non-perishable food to help the Salvation Army make Christmas a little brighter for families in need this year. Three Cariboo GM trucks loaned for the occasion were overflowing with donations when the Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves came with their donations and to help unload the trucks at the Salvation Army. “It was another overwhelming success once

again,” says Tribune/ Weekend Advisor publisher Kathy McLean. “I was touched by the support the citizens of Williams Lake gave to our annual food and toy drive and the generosity of our business com-

munity in supporting the event.” Salvation Army Cpt. Ben Lippers was equally impressed. He said that by their count there were more toys and food donations than last year and a total of $700 in cash donated during the event. In exchange for their donations, people took an envelope off the Christmas tree which was exchanged for a gift donated by a local business. The prize envelopes on the Christmas tree this year included gift certificates donated by no less

than 47 local businesses. Donors also entered a draw for grand prizes donated by local businesses. Bev Straza won two round-trip tickets to Vancouver donated by Pacific Coastal Airlines. Amanda May won the service certificate donated by Williams Lake Honda. William Elkins won the rolling maple kitchen cart island donated by Allcraft Kitchen En’ Counters.

Eileen Dell won the Tom Tom GPS system donated by Canadian Tire. Kathy Allan won the half-day spa package donated by Eloquence Spa and Salon.

Keep a watchful eye It’s a familiar refrain this time of year. No, not the holiday wishes. Rather, the plea to motorists and pedestrians to take special care while they’re on the streets. A stark and growing statistic: every December in B.C., an average of seven pedestrians are killed and another 269 are injured. The dark rainy or snowy weather, slippery streets and poor visibility all conspire to make driving more difficult. There’s little we can do about that. But what we can do is make the extra effort to see and be seen. ICBC has a few suggestions. They’re made every year, but they’re worth repeating. To motorists, remain attentive at all times. Not only is it illegal to use a hand-held device while driving, the consequences can be deadly. Pay particular attention around intersections where 75 per cent of all pedestrian incidents occur. Watch while turning left or right for pedestrians who have already begun to cross. And remember that the rain makes the roads more

slick. So build in a bit more braking time. For pedestrians, never assume that just because you see the vehicles, their drivers see you. Headlights, traffic and other distractions compete with your visibility. Fight back by ensuring you are dressed to be seen; wear reflective clothing, a reflective arm band, or carry a light. Keep your eyes and ears open and focus on what’s happening around you. That means pulling out your headphones, or putting the phone away while crossing a busy street. But the most important point is to never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact and always err on the side of caution; the consequences of an accident are far graver for the pedestrian than for the driver. The holidays are a hectic time of year. We all have places to be and things to think about. But they’re also meant to be a happy time; don’t let an accident or injury spoil that. – Black Press

Nathan Hamm, 3, is all smiles at the Cariboo Memorial Recreational Complex hockey arena Sunday afternoon as he takes in one of his cousin’s games with the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association.

When it’s a good time to call home, before the Internet It was ski-season, and school was out for a couple of weeks. College break had begun, and two happy little friends headed for the hills — the ski hills. Their skis were old, and nearly longer than their borrowed car, but they didn’t care. A bit of scraped-together gas money convinced the two friends they could manage the ribbon of freeway from Southern California to Vail, Colorado, so they headed out to swoosh down hills and create an abundance of ‘sitz’ marks in the snow. The slopes were crowded, and the line at the Lion’s-head gondola was especially long that day. Thirty-five minutes, someone said. Anxious to hit the slopes, the college girls headed to a chairlift far-

ther around the mountain. Ten minutes en route, then another line — 25 minutes this time. They hadn’t saved any time, but the more a skier can shorten the cold, ski-slapping wait the better. As they settled themselves on the chairlift, a huge ‘boom’ split

the air, echoing, and re-echoing around the mountain. One girl thought it was avalanche control, while the other suggested a sonic boom. But whatever it was, it was quickly dismissed, and the girls continued in the gently swaying chair, all the way to the top. A cable partway up the Lion’s head line had frayed, dropping one gondola 123 feet to the hillside below. Four persons died, eight were seriously injured, and half the mountain was closed while passengers in other still-dangling gondolas were rescued. The two of us spent the day on the other side of the mountain, away from ambulances, and hook and ladder trucks, though we did hear some rumours. Home was far

away before the Internet and cellphones, so we decided to call our parents later. Arriving back at the hotel, we were handed copy-cat messages from our parents. “Are you OK? Please call as soon as possible!” Parents! Why would they be so concerned? We were fine, and still oblivious of how narrowly we had escaped the worst U.S. ski accident in history. So we lined up again — this time for the phone. “Yes, we’re OK. We skied all day and you found out what happened before we did! Were you worried?” Hedda Hopper asserts that the cruelest, most primitive punishments are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone, so perhaps

I ought not to say what’s coming next. It might be unwise to bring up teachers from long ago, lonely parents, troubled children, or other imperfect persons who might like to hear from us. But we call. Not because we need to, or because they deserve it. We fracture the silence because of who we are, especially when we call the unlovely and un-loveable. We call because that is what our character dictates. “Are you still there? Are you OK? Why did you take so long to call?” Whether it’s a call nearby or to a forgotten God beyond the stars, there will never be a better time to call. LOL@wltribune.com.

New resource road act important to users The government introduced new legislation in 2008 to consolidate resource road legislation. Currently, resource roads in B.C. are administered through provisions found in up to 11 different laws, many of which regulate a specific industry or activity. Resource roads are built for a specific purpose but often used by multiple industries as well as businesses, First Nations and the public. The Natural Resource Road Act (NRRA) will attempt to improve on the private and public use of resource roads in the province. A “resource road” is defined as any road utilized by motorized vehicles on Crown land, and any road on private land that has been authorized by government, but does not include public roads (highway, municipal, federal), roads covered by a Mines Act permit or private roads. For anyone who has used the back roads of the province you probably realize that most of them were built for timber harvesting purposes. According to one source, of 450,000 kilometres of resource roads, 58,000 km are Forest Service Roads, close to 200,000 km are permit/licence roads and the balance are orphan or “nonstatus” roads. The provincial government has taken considerable time and effort to include as many groups as possible prior to the drafting of new legislation resulting in a number of documents which can be obtained at http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ mof/nrra/. One document published on April 12, 2012 described the results of fourteen working groups that were formed to address the following topics: How well these policy options

Forest Ink Jim Hilton align with the project objectives and principles, what are the associated costs and benefits to stakeholders and what resources would be required to make these options work? The role of these working groups is to pinpoint a range of policy options that may help address any issues identified. The working groups are comprised of government employees as well as industry workers, representatives from impacted organization, and other interested parties, all of whom are volunteers. The following are some of the results of the fourteen committees: One of the principles underlying the NRRA is that roads built by industry should be left open to motor vehicles if possible. Companies that construct or maintain resource roads may have good reason to restrict access, for example to ensure safety during road maintenance. However, it is important to balance the rights of the maintainer to restrict access to a road with the opportunities of people to use the road. This working group is looking at options to ensure a reasonable balance between these two objectives. Safety issues are numerous and vary from the basic rules of the road to design and construction, maintenance and deactivation, compliance and enforcement, use expectations, hazard identifica-

tion, communication with user groups, and incident tracking. Another group was tasked with examining the options of having a public watchdog for resource roads under the NRRA. The group is using the Forest Practices Board as a starting point to engage with the issues and provide an assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of having road oversight. The parties who have an interest in a road can be diverse. They could include large and small commercial users, industrial users, recreational users, and people who rely on the road to access their residence or rural community. It is therefore necessary to have some form of user input that the Designated Decision Maker can consider when making road-related decisions.

A group dealing with costs stated that there are two aspects to cost sharing: capital costs and maintenance costs. If a company needs to construct a resource road, there may be other users who would benefit from the road’s existence. In that case, it may be desirable for the parties to share the capital cost of constructing the road. For existing roads, the NRRA will designate a primary road user as maintainer. If there are other road users (industrial/commercial), they should also share in the costs of maintaining a road. The construction of a road often requires the installation of structures such as bridges, which can be portable. When a primary user has finished with a resource road, they may want to remove and reuse their structure on an-

other road. Other users who have come to rely on a road will not want the structure removed as the removal would interfere with their continued use of the road. This working group is examining the possibilities around who should have ownership and control of structures on resource roads and how best to balance the interests of industry and other users. Industrial and public use of the access in the newly formed Williams Lake Community Forest will be a good place to see how some of these new ideas will work for all users. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Vegetables a viable option for this year’s Christmas dinner Just as turkey and hams have garnered a spot amongst the favourites in the meat category of Christmas dinners, there are some vegetable traditions that are up there as well. Of course the vegetable menu is different from home to home, however, there are some in Canada that have been on the Christmas table for many generations. Yams have been a part of many Yuletide meals over the years. with Ken Wilson Joining the yams are broccoli, brussels sprouts and carrots. Here’s a nice way to use brocParsnips also make the Christ- coli this Christmas. mas dinner menu some years. • 1 bunch broccoli cut into I know these vegetables are small pieces very popular and I know there • 1 cup raisins are as many ways to cook these • 4 slices thick bacon cooked veggies as there are carrots. and crumbled

Ken’s Country Kitchen

• 1 cup of toasted walnuts crumbled • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced Orange Vinaigrette • 1 tsp grated orange zest • Juice of one orange • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar • salt to taste • 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper • 4 tbsp olive oil • Toss all ingredients into a bowl For the vinaigrette, mix all ingredients except the oil and stir with a whisk. When blended, add the oil and whisk again. This is a sweet orange dressing that goes well with strong-tasting vegetables. Pour over the salad and then toss.

I wasn’t much interesting in cooking when I was a kid and so I don’t remember exactly how these vegetables were cooked. I suspect most were boiled in water. I know my grandmother cooked the brussels sprouts in butter and bacon grease. Check out this neat way to cook brussels sprouts: • 1 pound brussels sprouts • Enough beer to cover the sprouts in the pot • Salt and pepper to taste • 2 tbsp butter Place cleaned sprouts in a saucepan and pour enough beer over to cover. Bring to a boil and then simmer. Cover for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain, then add

salt and butter. Carrots are another vegetable that has been around the Christmas table for some time. I like to steam the carrots to retain much of their original goodness. I will add some butter along with oregano and thyme, and of course pepper and salt to taste. Vegetables — a tradition at Christmas time. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas with lots of laughter, good health and, of course, good eating. Bye for now and Goood Cooking!

VIEWPOINTS

Horgan on LNG, climate and farmland Following are highlights from Tom Fletcher’s year-end interview with NDP leader John Horgan. For an extended version, see the Opinion section at www.wltribune.com. TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think? JH: I’ve always maintained that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-910-12 billion onto the backs of ratepayers. First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it. The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process. TF: You voted for the liquefied natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started. How is that certainty? JH: I thought it was

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

important that the investment community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia. But we went from a seven per cent [tax] to a 3.5 per cent because of a softening market. If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period – not just between now and 2017, but if the market conditions change and prices go up – I think British Columbians would want their government to make sure they were getting a fair share of that benefit. TF: Why did you vote against the LNG environmental legislation? JH: They said prior to the election that LNG would be the greenest in the world. And then when they tabled legislation they

left out 70 per cent of the emissions from upstream activity. TF: Gordon Campbell’s great goal for greenhouse gases, 33 per cent reduction by 2020, can that be reached assuming a substantial LNG development? JH: I find it difficult to believe that they’re going to achieve those results. [Environment Minister] Mary Polak has a different point of view, and our job as opposition is to hold them accountable to the numbers that they passed into law, and we’re going to do that. One of the three sectors, housing, energy and transportation, where emission profiles can be managed downward is transportation. And the government has wasted 18 months talking about a referendum on [Metro Vancouver transit.] TF: What’s your top priority for 2015?

Happy Holidays

Thank you to our employees for their contributions in 2014. We wish you, and the entire community, a safe and happy holiday season!

JH: I think the public is going to increasingly find affordability issues to be the challenge. We didn’t spend as much time as I had hoped to on hydro rate increases, ICBC. When the government balanced the budget, they did it by selling assets, and by increasing costs at their Crown corporations and then pulling that revenue in for budget purposes. We’re going to have to use new technologies and means of communication to better explain to people what the government’s doing to them. TF: What should happen with the agricultural land reserve? JH: I don’t think there was a ground-

swell of opposition to the ALR, quite the opposite in fact, and the commission has in my opinion, infinite flexibility to meet the demands of development in northern areas as well as urban centres. I’m going to make sure that [agriculture critic] Lana Popham, who as you know is fearless on this issue, is let loose on [Agriculture Minister] Norm Letnick, and we’re going to dog this issue up to the next election.

City Of Williams Lake Dear Resident There will be some changes coming to the day in which your solid waste and recycling is collected in 2015. Due to statutory holidays and the operational requirements of the City of Williams Lake and its solid waste contractor, the need to change your collection day will change when a statutory holiday is observed during the collection week. This is how the City plans to change your collection day for those weeks: If your collection day falls on a statutory holiday, the collection of your solid waste and recycling will not happen that day. Instead the collection day for the week will move ahead by one day. For example, if Monday is the statutory holiday then: Monday’s collection day will move to Tuesday, Tuesday’s collection day will move to Wednesday, Wednesday’s collection day will move to Thursday, Thursday’s collection day will move to Friday. This change will only be for the week of the statutory holiday and will return to normal the following week. Below is a schedule for the 2015 year’s solid waste and recycling collection schedule including statutory holidays. The calendar has been color coded for ease of use.

The color coding for the solid waste and recycling days are as follows: Yellow – Mondays Blue – Tuesdays Green – Wednesdays Orange – Thursdays Red – statutory holidays

Christmas market a major fundraiser for Station House donation of cash or non-perishable food items. The event is sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association Multiculturalism Program and Women’s Spirituality Circle.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Clarence Moore and Rudy Johnson have each recently published books about their adventures in helping to build the Cariboo Chilcotin. Together these two longtime friends will be signing copies of their first books at the Station House Gallery this Saturday between 1 and 4 p.m. The book signing is part of the gallery’s Christmas Market fundraiser that happens every December and will also be a great opportunity to check out the work of many local artists, craftspeople, and specialty food producers who have come together during December to turn the entire lower gallery into a Christmas gift shop. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it has been going very well so far,” says gallery manager Diane Toop. There are many books by local authors on the gallery shelves including several children’s books.

Two amazing Christmas truths In college I took a class in astronomy. The vast expanse of space was mind boggling then but today, over forty years later, the reality is almost beyond belief. Scientists, with the help of today’s technology, say they can see 13 billion light years into space. One light year is equal to just under 10 trillion kilometers or about 6 trillion miles. My simple brain can hardly grasp the distance of one light year so what is 13 billion? As they say in Australia, that’s a bloody long way! The challenge increases with the best conservative estimate being that there are at least 100 billion galaxies. A relatively small galaxy has a few billion stars with the largest galaxies up to a couple trillion. The universe is simply vast beyond imagination and the whole is not yet seen. For Christians, the Bible is clear that God created all of this vast cosmos. The question is, how big is the God who created all this? Especially if we believe the Bible when it says, “He spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast!” Obviously, God is seriously beyond our understanding and the Christmas story almost beyond belief. Amazing truth #1, Jesus is this powerful God. Immanuel, God with us. Truth is truly stranger than fiction. This mighty Creator came to earth as a baby to reveal divinity

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON and redeem and save a fallen human race. A race that continues to struggle to accept the fact that they are lost but God loves and saves. A pastor on vacation with his family made friends with and got invited to dinner with a family who did not know there is a personal, loving God. Praying for an opportunity to share the good news about Jesus, he and his family enjoyed a good meal and conversation but no opportunity to share. After saying good night, with his family having gone on ahead, as he was turning to leave the host wife asks, “What does it mean to be a Christian?” The pastor looked back knowing that the timing of the question required a simple one

minute answer. “Religion is spelled D-O,” he responded. “Christianity is spelled D-O-N-E.” The Christian faith isn’t about what we do for God. It is all about what a loving creator God has already done.” Amazing truth #2 is that God has done for us what we never could do for ourselves. The good news is that the work of reconciliation is done. Christianity is not a list of do’s and don’t’s. It is a personal loving relationship with God, made possible by the life and death of Jesus. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is the foundation of everything. Because of what happened on the cross, Jesus can provide forgiveness, righteousness and eternal life to all who will accept his gift of friendship. This is radical Christianity and the heart of the Christmas story. Jesus is all we need. He created humans with the power of choice. Then when they rebelled he paid the price to give them a second chance to reclaim their original gift as perfect children of God. The babe in the manger is God coming to live and die to get us out of this world alive. Everything has already been done for us to live with joy and peace both now and forever. Will you, today, accept the gift of friendship with Jesus? Relax, trust in his love, say yes, I accept and begin enjoying life in all its fullness.

Minister Virk tours TRU campus Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer On Friday B.C.’s minister of higher education Amrik Virk toured Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake campus to hear first hand the programming needs of the region. “I want to hear their concerns,” Virk said before the tour. “How can we be that much more responsive to the needs of the Cariboo?” Virk was in the lakecity on the invitation of Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who arranged meetings with TRU, Mayor Walt Cobb and the Williams Lake Indian Band. He said he grew up in Williams Lake and attended Anne Stevenson junior high school, the building that houses TRU today. Virk also wanted to remind the public about the B.C. Access Grants of up to $16,400 that were announced this fall, he said. “Say someone is living somewhere else in the province and they are on a wait list for a particular program, but there’s no wait list here. Those students and their families can get a grant to move somewhere like Williams Lake to take that training. There’s also a tool grant of up to $500.” Barnett said enticing students to Williams Lake is also an economic development tool for the city. “It costs money for our youth to go

to BCIT, but if they can attend here the cost of living is one quarter of the price,” Barnett said. Virk agreed, saying some larger centres have population numbers that outstrip the ability to meet the demands of offering programs. “Here you have a building and the facilities,” he said. After the tour, TRU executive director Dr. Ray Sanders said the meeting allowed the community to express what they felt was needed in order for the Williams Lake Campus to be successful and also allowed Minister Virk to provide some insight as to how the provincial government plans to provide assistance for postsecondary education. “With the government allocating 25 per cent of provincial operating grants to post-secondary institutions to align with training that matches high-demand jobs and professions, the Williams Lake campus must continue to offer strong programs to meet this need, as well as continue to meet the needs the community,” Sanders said. “For the first time ever, we will be offering Level 1 and Level 2 Heavy Duty Mechanical Apprenticeships in the spring.” TRU will also be offering all four levels of the saw filer program, the only campus to offer this program in all of Western Canada. “In fall 2015, we will begin offering a series of Applied Ag-

riculture programs, the first of which will be Ranch Manage-

Site C dam construction to start next summer Tom Fletcher Special to Tribune/Advisor The B.C. government has given the go-ahead for BC Hydro to start construction on a third dam on the Peace River, with a delay of six months to try to work out settlements with area aboriginal communities and landowners whose properties will be flooded or cut off. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Tuesday a review of construction costs upheld the $7.9 billion estimate for the Site C dam that was developed in 2010, but the overall price tag has risen. Delaying the project six months from its original start date adds inflation and interest costs, and calculating the effect of the provincial sales tax replacing the HST brings the total to $8.34 billion. The province is establishing a “project reserve” of $440 mil-

lion to bring the total estimated cost to $8.77 billion. The project reserve is in case of unforeseen events such as a rise interest rates during the eight-year construction period. BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald said the six-month delay provides time to work out compensation agreements with Treaty 8 First Nations who have declined settlement offers. The federal-provincial environmental review panel gave the go-ahead for the project in May, but noted its unavoidable impacts on aboriginal hunting, fishing and trapping rights that are assured by the 1899 treaty. A group of Peace valley landowners has already started legal action against the project, having refused offers from BC Hydro to buy their land. Aboriginal groups in Alberta, downstream of the project, have also started court action against

NDP leader John Horgan called the decision “a $9 billion gamble” and repeated his call for a review by the B.C. Utilities Commission to see if the additional power is going to be needed by the time the dam is operating in 2025. The BCUC will determine BC Hydro rates in the years ahead, and how much they will go up to pay for the most expensive public construction project in B.C. history. The government plans to mitigate BC Hydro rate impact by reducing the dividend the government takes from the power company’s operations each year. Bennett said a review of alternative clean energy sources, including wind, solar and geothermal power, showed they can’t compete on price because they are intermittent sources that would require backup power.

Getting You OutThere!

There’s a log jam atop the Williams Lake Men’s Indoor Soccer league after five weeks of play. United Floors, after a 9-5 victory over sixth place Puddle FC, hung on to first place with a four-win, oneloss record. Rick Heal and league-leading scorer Grant Gustafson (nine goals) each recorded hat tricks in the winning effort, while Nick Iachetta struck twice. For Puddle FC Viktor Stamenov scored twice, while Jeremy Smith, Ryan Whitehead and Aiden Duggan added singles. Blue United and Celtic, meanwhile, let a first-place tie slip through its grasp after finishing Tuesday night’s tilt in a 4-4 draw. As a result, Blue

United and Celtic are two points back of top spot in the league with three wins, one loss and one tie each. Scoring for Blue United were Jason Burrows (2), Kolby Taylor and Mike Holm, while Justin Hansen (2), Kevin Yang and Dylan Taylor potted goals for Celtic. Third-place Windsor Plywood hammered Storm, 12-4, in Tuesday’s other contest with Mike Mthandazo (3), Gerardo Cibrian (3), Landon Benson (2), Sirel Valdivia (2), Dave Peever and Kian Sabha scoring in the win. Marco Waelti provided most of Storm’s offence scoring three times, while Dan Faithfull tallied once in the loss.

Two weeks left to volunteer for Games There are two weeks left to sign up to volunteer to be a part of the 2015 Canada Winter Games. And Williams Lake and area residents can be a part of what will be the largest multi-sport and cultural event to ever be hosted in Northern B.C. by registering by Dec. 31, 2014. “We have had a tremendous response from the volunteer community and require a few more volunteers to ensure we host the best Canada Games this region possibly can,” said Christine Nicholls, manager of the volunteer workforce with the Games. “This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity to be a part of the largest multi-sport and cultural event for youth in the nation — an opportunity that won’t return to the province of B.C. for more than two decades.”

There are opportunities for volunteers to lend their skills to the 2015 Games from Feb. 13 until March 1, 2015, in a variety of rules such as media services, spectator services, environment and fabrication. “There is a role for everyone on team 2015,” Nicholls said. “More than 4,000 have already joined team 2015 and we are confident the community will push us over our volunteer requirement of 4,500.” To volunteer visit www.canadagames2015.ca/ volunteers or, if you happen to be in Prince George, visit the Accreditation and Volunteer Centre at Suite 205 - 1302 Seventh Avenue. The volunteer centre is open Monday to Friday from 12 p.m. until 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

TIPS FROM THE CRD

Clothes Dryer Appliance & Venting Maintenance Excerpts from the BC Safety Authority website A dryer and the attached vent system require regular cleaning and maintenance. Lack of such regular cleaning and maintenance has been identified as causing fires. Improper dryer venting also poses a carbon monoxide risk on gas supplied dryers. The dryer vent system removes moisture and the gas by-products from your appliance to the outdoors. When a dryer/venting system is clogged with lint, air flow is restricted, your dryer then has to work harder which leads to overheating. As the dryer ducts remove lint and moisture from clothes, not all of the lint is captured by the screen or makes it to the outdoors; this builds up on the sides of the vent system and eventually dries to a hard material. This material attracts more lint, where it eventually creates a restriction that leads to overheating, potentially resulting in a fire. It is recommended that dryers and all fuel burning appliances are maintained or serviced on an annual basis at least, or as per the Certified Appliance instructions by a Licensed, Qualified Gas Contractor.

Deb Radolla, one of the city’s key fitness leaders, retired last Friday but doesn’t plan to settle into any easy chair. “I will never be bored, I can guarantee that,” says Radolla, the city’s Active Living manager who plans to continue to be involved in community activities “gently volunteering here and there.” Radolla was hired by the Cariboo Regional District in 1980 before Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool was even completed and continued her career when the City of Williams Lake took over management of the Cariboo Memorial Complex. “I was hired as a lifeguard when I started,” Radolla says. While her children were young she worked part-time as a lifeguard, eventually working into full-time aquatic supervisor, then into recreation program co-ordinator, and then six years ago into management, as the city’s manager of active living. Radolla credits the team effort by the city’s recreation department for their efforts over the years in helping to get the whole community more active. “When I think of successes I think it has been in getting the community to be more active,” Radolla says. “I can’t take the credit. It is the amazing staff I have been fortunate to work with people who supported me and came up with ideas.” Over the years those ideas and initiatives have developed into a wide variety of activities from small children right up to seniors — exercise programs for parents and babies, preschool dance classes, personal training instruction, low impact and advanced exercises classes, lifeguard train-

The RCMP are reminding drivers not to drink and drive after an incident Wednesday in Williams Lake.

At 5:48 p.m. on Dec. 17, police received a complaint that a white Dodge pickup had backed into two differ-

ent vehicles and drove away in the Safeway parking lot. “The witness advised that the driver of

the vehicle was wearing a high visible shirt and was intoxicated,” Sgt. Rick LeBeuf said. When police of-

ficers attended the scene, they located two vehicles with very slight damage to their rear bumpers.

A short time later they located the suspect vehicle and pulled the vehicle over after it almost caused another accident on Fourth Avenue South and Mackenzie Avenue South. The driver of the vehicle admitted to drinking alcohol, but not to the hit and run. The driver was given a roadside driving suspension and a ticket for no driver’s licence. “The public is encouraged to consider a safe way home if they are going to be drinking during the festive season,” LeBeuf said.

Economic Development Corporation re-activated Williams Lake City Council will be using the expertise and enthusiasm of community members as it moves forward in enhancing economic development in the city. At its Dec. 16 meeting, council resolved to re-activate the Economic Development Corporation, an arms-length body that will be tasked with generating and implementing economic development ideas for Williams Lake. “Council wants to draw on the business expertise, experience, and creativity of the community,” says Mayor Walt Cobb. “By bringing more people into the conversation, we can find an economic development model that works for Williams Lake.” The Central Cariboo

Economic Development Corporation was incorporated March 2006 and a board of directors was appointed. In 2009 the Tourism Discovery Centre management contract changed and was handled directly by the city. Over the course of 2009 and 2010, the central Cariboo tourism marketing function was cancelled as a budget saving measure for the city. Meetings of the board were suspended pending further direction from the city. As a corporate entity, the corporation has been maintained for use by the city on an as-needed basis. City council plans further discussions about the role of the Economic Development Corporation in the coming weeks.

A wide network of BCA-authorized refill centers provide unmatched service to Float purchasers. A small 2,700-psi (186 bar) compressed-air cylinder, single-chamber 150-liter airbag, and super efficient venturi system make the Float systems easy to refill, light and affordable.

RADIOS

Safer riding through real-time communication. The Smart Mic user interface is located at your fingertips, meaning you never need to dig the radio out of your pack to change settings. Includes radio base unit connected to Smart Mic. Designed to be worn with all backpacks. Optimized for use with BCA’s new line of Stash packs. The BC Link is compatible with all FRS/GMRS radios (standard talkabout radios) and has a range of 2.5 miles line of sight with 140 hours of battery life.

In Loving Memory Mary Zayonc Nov. 21, 1932 Dec. 19, 2008 There is always a face before us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will always remember, Of a mother we loved so dear. Deep in our hearts lies a picture, It’s a picture of a wife, a mom, a Grandma. Sadly missed by Husband Joe, Daughters, Judy and Joan, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren.

Grandson, & Nephew A year has come and gone since you left us. They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, that lies behind our smiles. No one knows how many times, we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, so there won’t be any doubt. You are so wonderful to think of, but so hard to live without. All of our love to you my sweet boy forever & always.

It is with heartfelt sadness that the family announces the passing of William James “Jim” Whitely of Williams Lake, on December 14, 2014, in Vancouver. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, Dec. 22, 2014 at St. Andrew’s United Church. Rev. Jenny Carter officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100

FIND A FRIEND

Heather Doris Turner March 6, 1965 - December 12, 2014

I regret to announce the sudden passing of my dearest friend and partner of 16 years. She will be greatly missed by her mother June Turner, step dad Ken Turner, sister Lonnie Dehn, brother Bruce Bain, sister Cathy Turner, twin sister Helen Turner, brother Daniel Turner, son Jason Boogerd, daughter Holly Buchner, son Bradley Buchner, myself, David Thompson and all her friends, of which she had many. She was a very loving and caring person, and would try to help out wherever she could. She had worked as a care aide prior to, and at the Deni House for 15 years. Some devastating and emotional problems with family life had brought an end to that career, but she wanted to get back into that field again. There will be a Celebration of Life Sunday, December 21 at 1 pm at the Salvation Army. We all love her very much and do so miss her.

Madeline (aka Meline) Rose Myers Madeline (aka Meline) Rose Myers passed away in her home December 13, 2014 with her family by her side. Meline was born in Stone, Tsilhqot’in territory, May 20, 1954. She passed away at the age of 60 while battling cancer. Meline leaves her partner of 35 years, David R. Ross, two sons, Russell M. Ross and Lorne S. Ross, and daughter/niece, Kathleen Elkins, along with grandchildren, Petal, Lozan and Nalina. She leaves an enormous extended family, including 16 brothers and sisters, and dozens of nieces and nephews. Meline will be missed dearly. She was known for being an active worker in her garden, picking berries, preparing foods, sewing crafts, quilting, researching her family’s history and singing her mother’s songs. She was fond of being outdoors and carried herself fearlessly through forests. Many of her fondest memories came from her homeland, including Xeni, Chilko, Dasiqox, Yanna and Stone. Friends and family will remember her for her grace, calm quiet demeanour, and her generosity. She was a sensitive soul and would tease people in a gentle way. Meline was deeply spiritual, followed Tsilhqot’in traditions, and later took the role of teaching and sharing her gift through singing. Meline will be put to rest beside her mother at Stone, Saturday, December 20, 2014.
