Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Timber Kings kicked off Season Two this week with Old Dog, New Tricks, another fun-filled look behind the scenes of Pioneer Log Homes. In the episode, which aired Jan. 4 on HGTV and is available to
view on the Internet, Bryan Reid Jr. heads up the construction of a fishing cabin for the Gustafsons at their Central Coast Adventures fishing lodge in Shearwater. When Reid Jr. and his crew arrive they discover the foundation hasn’t been completed and there’s no crane in sight. Despite the setbacks they get to
work although that involves using an excavator to move large timbers in place. Things improve a bit when Bryan Reid Sr. arrives by boat with a rusty crane on board. “Let’s see if this old dog can learn a new trick,” Reid Sr. says as he gets behind the controls. Meanwhile, Beat Schwaller is

No serious injuries There were no serious injuries sustained during a morning collision south of Williams Lake Wednesday, the RCMP said. At around 9 a.m. the Williams Lake RCMP responded to the accident scene, about three kilometres south of the city on Highway 97. A pickup travelling south had been struck by a northbound vehicle.
Road conditions were slippery at the time. The northbound vehicle, travelling at about 60 km/h had began to fishtail, with the driver losing control, and crossing the centre line into the oncoming lane. The southbound vehicle, containing a driver and three children on board, was travelling at about 90

km/h at the time of the collision. While no serious injuries were sustained, a passerby drove the driver of the southbound vehicle and the children to the hospital because of a delayed ambulance. The one occupant in the northbound vehicle suffered some minor cuts on his hands and also attended the hospital for examination.
Gustafson’s fishing lodge kicks off Timber Kings season Continued From Page A1 Because his regular carver is out of commission he asks someone else to get the job done, which he does with satisfying results. Behind the scenes Peter Arnold is determined to participate in the Williams Lake Stampede Parade. He tells his co-worker they are building a picnic table, but unless he’s thinking of Jack and the Beanstalk, the table is definitely out of pro-
portion. In the end it’s a float, carrying logs. During the parade Pioneer Log Homes staff and young family members walk alongside, slicing discs from the logs with chainsaws and Arnold brands them with the Timber Kings logo then and there. And the discs fly off his hands as quick as he can make them going to eager parade watchers. Kerry Gustafson, whose son Trevor runs Central Coast Adven-
tures, said traffic to their website has increased since the show aired. Everyone who comes into the show room at Gustafson’s Chrysler Jeep makes a comment about how nice the new cabin at Shearwater is, Gustafson added. “The old crane made the show, but people have a hard time believing it wasn’t made up,” Gustafson said. “We had a crane coming from Port Hardy, but it was late and we couldn’t wait for it.”

He said when the crane finally did arrive on the ferry, the Pioneer Log Homes crew was getting on the ferry to depart. “From the time Reid Jr. brought me the design plans, everything was heading out on the ferry six weeks later,” Gustafson said. “They custom built it in six weeks.” Gustafson said they loved the final product, which was built with the help of many local contractors from Williams Lake.

AN APPLE A DAY...
Welcome to the first Capsule Comments of this New Year. Our resolution is to fill the column with interesting and useful tidbits of health information throughout the year. Our goal is to keep you informed about important health topics through the year. Speaking of resolutions, many people don’t bother making them at all. Those that do, sometimes make too many. Not good. Pick one or two areas of your life that you’d like to change and set some realistic goals for those changes. Also, put a time limit on the goals, like three or six months. Shorter goals will enhance a feeling of accomplishment when you reach them. We’ve mentioned in this column before that writing down your goals is a positive way of helping you achieve them. Just seeing your goal on your bathroom mirror each day will help you keep on track. Also, tell a few good friends and relatives of your resolutions. They can be a great help in keeping your motivation. Some people are adversely affected by the short winter days with decreased sunlight. Their moods are affected causing irritability, fatigue, lack of interest in activities and inability to concentrate. Even sleeping and eating patterns are affected. The condition is called “Seasonal Affective Disorder” (SAD) and can be helped by using light therapy. Our pharmacists are familiar with lights used to treat SAD. We’d be happy to tell you all about them.

City changes dog licenses The City of Williams Lake is moving to a one dog licence tag system that does not have to be replaced annually. This Permanent Licence tag gives dog owners the convenience of renewing their dog licence each year online. Starting in 2016, registration allows residents to pay an annual Permanent Licence renewal fee online with no need to leave home, line up to renew and licence, and replace an annual dog tag. Please visit williamslake.ca/doglicence and select the
Skates for All
‘Permanent Dog Licence’ menu option. Renewal notices will be sent this week. Please come in to renew your license and receive your tag. As per City of Williams Lake Animal Control and Licensing Bylaw 2102, 2009, every dog over the age of two months must have a current licence. The impoundment fee for an unlicenced dog begins at $75 and can go up to $175, plus additional boarding and licensing fees. Please direct any inquiries to the Finance Department at City Hall, 250-392-2311.

The finance committee is made up of councillors Nelson, Jason Ryll and Craig Smith. During the month of

Meetings will also be held on Jan. 15, Jan. 22 and Jan. 29, the city said. If in fact city council and staff achieves a zero tax increase in 2015, it will be a change of direction from the previous fiveyear plans set out by city council in recent years.
Accused selects Supreme Court A Williams Lake man charged with possession of child pornography and distributing child pornography has selected to go to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Murray Dunbar, 66, made his selection in provincial court in Williams Lake on Jan. 7, 2015. Dunbar’s next appearance is scheduled for Nov. 2, 2015, and it is anticipated there will be a preliminary inquiry into the charges. Dunbar was one of 11 men charged in B.C. in June 2014 following a lengthy child pornog-
raphy investigation called Operation Snapshot III. The operation, which began in February 2014, involved 40 police agencies across the country and netted 150 arrests. It was co-ordinated by the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Co-ordination Centre (NCECC) and targeted offenders who collect, possess, share, make available, distribute and produce child sexual exploitation material online. Dunbar has yet to enter a plea in the matter.

Hunters protest shift favouring non-residents Tom Fletcher Black Press
As B.C. hunters packed rooms to protest regulations giving guide-outfitters and their out-of-province clients a larger share of big-game permits, the provincial government argues that the shift is being exaggerated. The latest increase in the share of guide permits to hunt moose, grizzly bear and other restricted animals in limited-entry hunting areas of B.C. totals 618 “hunting opportunities” across the province per year, says a statement from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Based on the success rate of hunts for different species, “this model represents a transfer of approximately 186 animals from residents to guides.” The B.C. Wildlife Federation’s estimate that the wild game allocation policy could result in 5,000 fewer hunting permits for resident hunters under limited entry hunting rules is “not accurate,” the ministry says. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview he made the decision on the latest allocation after a long consultation where the BCWF and the Guide

Moose are the most sought-after species for hunters in B.C., with harvest restricted by a lottery in most regions. Hunting is increasing in popularity after a long period of decline. Outfitters Association of B.C. couldn’t agree. The decision was to provide certainty for guide businesses, but also took away guides’ rights to pool regional game allotments and hunt in vacant guiding territories. “There are arguments over the number, depending on which base you use, and I expect those arguments will continue,” Thomson said. “At the end of the day we all want the same thing, which is healthy wildlife populations.” BCWF hosted hunter meetings in Kelowna and Langley in December, and spokesman
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)
Jesse Zeman said hunters were lined up out the door in Langley. He said the latest changes are part of a longerterm shift going back more than a decade that has seen a loss of harvest share for resident hunters. B.C. hunters are concerned that the share reserved for guide-outfitters is now higher than anywhere else in North America. Under the latest policy, that share is 20 per cent for elk, 20
or 25 per cent for moose depending on the restricted region, 35 per cent for mountain goat, and 40 per cent for grizzly bears. Open season areas for moose and other animals remain in the southern Interior and northeast, where anyone can buy a license and tag to hunt. Abundant species such as mule deer, whitetail deer and black bear have no hunting quotas in any part of B.C.
Zeman said for prized species such as Roosevelt elk on Vancouver Island, winning a resident tag in the lottery is rare enough to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As hunter numbers rebound, they increasingly face the choice to aim for another species, drive long distances to an unrestricted region, or hire a guide. The latest changes include returning Kootenay bighorn sheep to
a general open season for guided hunting. The restriction that only fullcurl rams can be hunted remains in place. Thomson said the population will be closely watched, and harvest limits returned if necessary. Zeman said the BCWF is concerned that this iconic Rocky Mountain trophy could once again be over-hunted. The popularity of hunting in B.C. continues to increase, from about 81,000 licences issued in 2003 to more than 100,000 last year, which means more resident hunters are losers in regional hunting lotteries. BCWF compiled statistics for moose, the most popular big-game target. Moose populations have declined in some areas while both applications from resident hunters and the share reserved for guides has risen. In 2005 there were 56,000 applications for moose, with only one out of five successful. By 2013, there were nearly 67,000 would-be resident moose hunters, 54,000 of whom were refused a moose tag.

Fee increase sure sign of new year Tax and fee increases have become as sure a sign that a new year has arrived as champagne and fireworks. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, B.C. residents can expect to see hikes in the rates they pay for MSP, EI, CPP, BC Hydro, ICBC and BC Ferries. Among the increases for 2015, the Medical Services Premium Tax goes up $33 a year for individuals and $66 for families; EI and CPP taxes will go up $23 in 2015; BC Hydro announced a six per cent hike in electricity rates for April 1, which amounts to an estimated $72 for the average home; BC Ferries will boost fares 3.9 per cent; and ICBC is expected to raise basic auto insurance, estimated to be $36 for the average car. “Every government and agency seems to get their pound of flesh, and one wonders when enough will be enough,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. The simple answer to that question seems to be never. BC Ferries shows that even the threat of decreasing revenues and a dam-
aged economy can’t restrain the Crown corporation’s temptation to gouge its customers. A Union of B.C. Municipalities report shows that fare increases have driven down ridership on BC Ferries at a cost of $2.3 billion to the provincial GDP. But the potential of an economic downturn isn’t enough to deter BC Ferries from bringing in the increase that will more than offset the gains from its muchheralded elimination of the fuel surcharge. But perhaps the most troubling increase is the one to basic auto insurance premiums. The increase comes despite the government funnelling more than $150 million from the Crown corporation into provincial coffers, and it will be targeted at safe drivers along with those actually responsible for any increase in claims. It’s clear that when it comes to fee hikes, fairness and financial returns play no part in the equation. It’s just a new year’s plunge into the taxpayers’ wallet. -Black Press

Snow angels the upside of piles of the white stuff One upside about large snow falls is that snow angels appear. I’m not talking about the snow angels that little people, and once in a while big people, make in the snow with their arms and legs. I actually love those, but I am thinking about the people who help others. The people who, with shovel in hand, will do random acts of kindness or if they own a plowing vehicle will go beyond their own backyards. It helps balance out the first

world complaints about how slowly the city is at clearing the snow. Could any city afford a fleet of snow removal vehicles that could clear a storm in four hours?
My friend Barb told me Tuesday evening that a neighbour plowed her driveway after the city trucks went by. That was a good thing, she said, because she didn’t think she could have lifted a shovel to do it herself. A few blocks from Barb’s house an 11-year-old boy, home from school because of the snow, offered to shovel another single woman’s walk. I was walking back to the Tribune from doing the question of the week and saw a man stuck
with his small car. I stopped and thought maybe I could help but wasn’t very effective. Within moments five men appeared who had obviously been watching me struggle to help from their parked cars and successfully pushed him out. On Sunday my son and I shovelled our driveway two times. When a third shovelling was necessary and we were getting ready our neighbour showed up on her ATV and plowed our driveway for us.
As we make our way through the weekend with less precipitation predicted than last weekend, I’m sure many of us will be fine tuning our snow removal. Who knows how long our winter will be, but the recent snow fall was a reminder that we live in a place where there’s winter. Even Mayor Walt Cobb made a video this week reminding business owners of the role they play in snow removal. Monica Lamb-Yorski is a staff writer with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

U.S. ripping Canada off on water The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as oil these days, but the tide is turning. Last week I mentioned a new book called The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power. In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system. Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S. The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood protection from 1968 all the way to 2024. Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to

the U.S. at more like $32 billion. That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable. B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billiona-year farm economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business. As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. military-industrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane. Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those
salmon runs restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatcheries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fisheries above it. Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C. Bennett surprised some in
Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty. The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever. Your move, Uncle Sam.

Lots of work ahead for new mayor and council A new year is just underway and many are expecting a better 365 days this go around. The economy in B.C. is expected to move upwards and create more jobs in 2015. What kind of growth will we get in Williams Lake? Will there be any new businesses or industries coming into town and will there be some expansion to existing stores and business or industry? Lots of questions for sure and it is the biggest challenge facing Mayor Walt Cobb and his council. A big part of Cobb’s campaign program was economic development and, as a long

term resident and business person, I think Cobb and this council will make progress in this area. He will have work cut out for him, council and staff, as many
other communities our size are looking for the same thing and all promising great outdoors and good amenities. Smithers, Terrace, Nelson, Revelstoke, Quesnel, are among many other similar sized cities and they are all singing the same economic song. In our town I think we need to promote something like available land, along with rail and road transportation, to attract industry. We must keep promoting our lifestyle and our access to amenities in Williams Lake and area. Getting more citizens involved in committees like eco-
nomic development and other areas in town will give council more voter input and diversification of ideas. I suggest one of the mayor and council’s difficult tasks will be to bring our downtown into being the vibrant core it once was in the day. It is good news that this time around everything will be open with those elected to govern our city. So, us as ‘Joe public,’ should have an easy access to information. The one thing I hope this mayor and council do not do is get goofy ideas to promote ourselves as a republic and spend
hard-earned taxpayers money to do so. We have been down that road before and many considered it pretty dumb. I suspect Scott Nelson, Jason Ryll, and Craig Smith will support mayor Cobb on many of his desires to get Williams Lake heading in a positive direction. Lots of work ahead for Williams Lake as we move to bring this community on a positive spin. Let us hope this year will be good for all of us in Williams Lake.

Horsefly River Roundtable takes stock of 2014 Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor There was a fair list of accomplishments, and some things that were not accomplished in 2014 by the enthusiastic group of volunteers who compose the Horsefly River Roundtable. Steve Hocquard was hired on as our co-ordinator, which has proved an excellent decision. The Woodjam Creek restoration project has been completed with
the exception of willow shoots and other foliage for placement alongside the stream. The mouth of our spawning channel was redesigned so as to simulate a real stream. The barrier across the Horsefly River was removed and salmon went into the spawning channel of their own accord. Approximately 16,000 salmon spawned in our channel, and about 325,000 spawned in the Horsefly River system.
We had our best Salmon Festival ever. First Nations had a powwow honouring the Salmon. The water temperature was perfect for salmon, and we had many other accomplishments. We plan on signage along the Salmon Walk in the language and symbols of First Nations in this area. This will occur next year. We have plans to make improvements to the fish habitat on Wilmot Creek, Black

Creek, and Sucker Creek in 2015. The roundtable has funding to clean up the old dump site along the Horsefly River on Black Creek Road. With any participation at all we may be able to assist with the implementation of the Environmental Farm Group Plan. And we do plan on setting up a permanent outhouse at the campground across the bridge in Horsefly in 2015. On a sour note, the
bass have entered the Quesnel River and have been seen at Beaver mouth creek. There is no provincial interest in our ongoing bass problem, other than to ticket First Nations people as they were counting the bass so someone had an idea what was happening. And of course if indeed the toxins from the Mount Polley breach have travelled in as far as the mouth of the Horsefly River, the small fry entering Ques-
nel Lake this spring may somehow be affected adversely. Offhand I can’t recall all of our sponsors that helped with our success this year, but will mention those I can; The Pacific Salmon Foundation, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Arts on the Fly, BC Hydro, Central Cariboo Arts & Culture Society, Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Cariboo Regional District, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Fraser
Basin Council, Horsefly Community Club, Heritage Canada, Northern Shuswap Tribal Council, and the Stream of Dreams Mural Society. Without sponsors and volunteers, we simply couldn’t accomplish a lot. We feel the education provided by our Salmon festival, and the improvements to our river systems are well worth the effort. The Roundtable wishes one and all a safe and happy New Year.

New way to pray What is ‘prayer’? Surveys consistently say that most people in North America do it all the time. It’s the same all around the world. Every religion has some form of prayer and the vast majority of people who aren’t affiliated with any religion still pray. Even many atheists pray. But what is prayer? Is it a spiritual exercise to shape our mind, center the soul, get in tune with the divine? Is prayer a religious ritual, a divine requirement, an offering to please God? Is prayer like pressing buttons on a ‘vending machine god’ to get what we want? Is prayer an expression of human desperation, the cry of “Help!” when we’ve tried everything in our own strength? Certain aspects of these prayer concepts hold truth, but have you ever considered ‘prayer as partnership’? “Prayer is an expression of relationship… it represents the partnership between God and those made in God’s likeness.” (Bill Johnson, Experience The Impossible, 2014). Think about that for a minute. Could it be true? Could the gift of prayer go beyond divine requirement, soul-centering discipline, or requests for stuff or help? Could prayer be an
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT expression of real relationship—a two-way conversation that includes talking to God, hearing God speak, and partnering with God toward goals held in common? Listen to what Jesus said about prayer: “ 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” (Holy Bible: ESV. Jn 15:7–9.) Many people use this verse to justify
vending machine prayers, and are disappointed when it doesn’t ‘work’. But prayer isn’t that at all. Jesus gave us an invitation to authentic relationship with God. We enter into relationship with Him, abiding in His love, letting His truth change us. In this condition of ongoing relationship, our hearts and minds are shaped to see circumstances and people the way He does. We can pray boldly, trusting that God will work with us in prayer to accomplish incredible things that show God’s glory and reveal his love to the world! Prayer is an earth shaking gift to us from a real, living God who designed us for partnership with Him. Jesus not only offers us this invitation, but he is the one who makes it possible. Whatever your current religion or philosophy may be, would you be willing to seriously consider the claims of Jesus today? Would you be willing to consider his invitation to relationship and partnership with God? He’s more than a good teacher or an influential historical figure. Jesus claimed to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life—and if this is true, there is no better time than now to begin your relationship with him.

It connects, educates and invests to bridge the gap between business and the arts. “We don’t require groups to use the funds for a specific project as our objective is to engage them in building business partnerships,” Speakman says. “They are free to utilize the funds as they choose.” The artsVest program has helped almost 150 small to midsized B.C. arts groups acquire skills and make alliances that will help them continue to make their communities great places to live, work, visit and build a future, reports Speakman. In 2013/14, she says artsVest BC communities raised from three to six times their matching grants, from local businesses.
This year a total of 63 organizations located in Prince George, the Cariboo Chilcotin, Thompson/North Okanagan, Kelowna, the Fraser Valley and Nanaimo have qualified to participate in the artsVest BC program. “Arts and culture play an important role supporting the quality of life in British Columbia, including rural communities,” said Donna Barnett, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA in the press release. “The artsVest program has helped arts groups in areas with comparatively modest populations learn how to raise funds and build stronger relationships with their local business community.” “Our Society is thrilled to have been inspired by the ArtsVest program to make our first ever approach to the business communities of Williams Lake and 100 Mile

Film club screens Land Ho! for first film of 2015 Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor I hope you got through this last nasty weather spell without too many problems and the spell has ended by next Tuesday, Jan. 13 when the Williams Lake Film Club shows its first film of 2015. It will be business as usual with back doors to the Gibraltar Room opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show starting at 7 p.m. Our first film is Land
Ho! and is a U.S./Icelandic co-production. It is an easy going film, just right after the busy holidays and all the snow shovelling. Mitch, a former surgeon and a bit of a lecher, convinces his exbrother-in-law Colin to accompany him on an unplanned trip to Iceland. Colin is just the opposite of extroverted Mitch, quiet and always polite. They start out in the big city of Reykjavik and wind their way
Photo submitted
A scene from Land Ho! that will be shown at the Gibraltar Room on Tuesday. through quite a few places in Iceland, one
more beautiful than the other. On their way they
talk about aging, loneliness and friendship, and about their families. As Mitch talks about his four sons he mentions that one is gay, one lives in Berlin, one converted to Judaism, and that he got one who is regular. Need he say more? We all have our problems. It is wonderful to watch how their friendship deepens and how they realize that they still really do enjoy life. The two main actors, Earl Lynn Nelson and
Paul Eenhorn, are the perfect “odd couple,” totally believable. There is no hamming it up just to get a quick laugh from the audience. This really is a film about life, with all its failures and all its joys. It really is “A Gorgeous, Joyous Film!” Land Ho! is rated R only because of some references to sex, oh my, and some use of marijuana. The film was released in 2014 and duration is 95 minutes.
And now a trick question – Iceland is vastly uninhabited. In all of its rugged beauty live fewer people than in Halifax. How many people live in Halifax? Come on … See you next Tuesday. One more thing. For refreshments we have planned something a bit out of the ordinary to go with tea, hot chocolate and Ovaltine! Admission is $9 regular, $8 for members, and $6 for seniors (65+) and students, HS and TRU.

Members from the Williams Lake Atom Development team took part in the first-ever outdoor Winter Classic Jamboree at Penticton’s Apex Mountain. The tournament was a fundraiser for the Sick Kids Foundation and helped raise more than $10,000.
Atom development team helps Sick Kids Foundation raise more than $10,000 Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Players from four B.C. hockey teams including the Williams Lake Atom Development team helped raise more than $10,000 for the Sick Kids Foundation during the first annual outdoor Winter Classic Jamboree at Penticton’s Apex Mountain. “The idea came from seeing families of healthy little players with siblings with disabilities,” said one of the organizers, Yannick Lescarbeau. “From there we started to look for opportunities to help and educate our little healthy players about sick kids and the need to show acceptance and compassion when dealing with them.” The tournament, played in every possible scenario of weather from Dec. 1921, was one of the most powerful and, at the same time, fun events Williams Lake Atom Development team head coach Brian Godin said he’d ever been a part of. “It was an absolutely in-

Nothing but good things about everybody that was involved. The parents from Penticton — they were up there from 7 a.m. in the morning until 10 p.m., all in their snow suits freezing, but ev-
erybody was so excited and so happy.” Teams participated in the tournament from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton and Williams Lake. “We did keep track of scores but that wasn’t the relevant part of it,” Godin said. On Dec. 19 Williams
Lake played under the lights during a mild snowfall, before hitting the ice during a snow storm the following morning. On Dec. 20 the team played during a blizzard, Godin said, then awoke to beautiful, sunny skies for their last game on Dec. 21. “No one cared about the weather,” Godin said. “We
kind of got the whole experience of everything you possibly could.” Lescarbeau added the tournament was a resounding success and hopes that trend will continue next year. “The tournament and experience was embraced at full speed by our kids,” he said.
Registration is underway for the Rio Tinto Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League for children ages five to 13. The program teaches and develops the basic downhill skiing skills in a fun and motivating environment alongside certified coaches.

The Cariboo Prospects Academy is being launched in partnership with the Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association (WLYSA), the Quesnel Youth Soccer Assocation (QYSA) and the 100 Mile House and District Soccer Association (OMHSA). The Prince George Prospects Academy runs in partnership with the Prince George Youth Soccer Association (PGYSA). “After establishing the Prince George Prospects program more than a year ago, the goal was to eventually link in other key Northern satellite areas and associations,” said Whitecaps FC director of soccer development Dan Lenarduzzi. “The next natural
step was to move into the Cariboo region and set up this satellite program. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with WLYSA, QYSA and OHMSA to further grow the game for local players in Northern B.C.” Training sessions at the Cariboo Prospects Academy will be delivered by Whitecaps FC Northern Academy associate head coaches Ross Holtom and Sonny Pawar. All selected players follow the official Whitecaps FC training curriculum. Selected Cariboo Academy players will have an opportunity to train with the Prince George Prospects and the Vancouver Academy programs. The Cariboo Prospects Acad-
emy will also receive a visit from Whitecaps FC Vancouver-based coaching staff. Participation in the Cariboo Prospects Academy is by invite only. All players must go through an evaluation process to be selected. The inaugural evaluations took place Sunday, Jan. 4, at the QYSA Indoor Facility. The program will be for motivated and advanced boys and girls from under-10 to under-18 and will run over a 10-month period in three phases: winter, spring and fall. The winter phase will launch the program with 10 sessions from Jan. 10 through April. Sessions will be held on Sunday afternoons at the QYSA Indoor Facility.
Whitecaps FC Academy Centres are a network of regional training hubs linked through key staff, curriculum and standards that provide professional supplemental club training for serious, motivated players. Whitecaps FC now have a network of seven primary academy centre locations including the Northern Academy Centre, Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, Kamloops, the Kootenays and the Saskatchewan Academy Centre — the first centre outside of B.C. For more information on the Cariboo Prospects Academy visit whitecapsfc.com/ cariboo or contact Holtom at rholtom@ whitecapsfc.com or at 250-981-4401.

The Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves secured homeice advantage for its upcoming playoffs after downing the Prince George Midget Cougars in back-to-back league road games late December. Williams Lake, needing just a single win in the two-game series to clinch home-ice advantage, skated into the weekend with a win and a tie against Prince George in earlier season games. In game one the
Cougars came out flying stealing an early 1-0 lead just 20 seconds into the first period. The T-wolves, however, managed to shrug off the early misfortune and peppered the Prince George netminder with more than 50 shots. Zack Herrick lit the lamp first for Williams Lake, blasting a shot from the point while Will Paynton screened the Prince George goaltender. Paynton and Jacob Chamberlin assisted on the goal.
The game stayed tied until late in the third period when Paynton took a pass from Herrick and skated out of the corner to put a shot over the Cougars’ netminder’s glove to end the contest in a 2-1 win. T-wolves’ goaltender Trevor Woodward was solid in the winning effort. In the next day’s game, now meaning nothing for league standings, Prince George got on the board early, taking an early 1-0 lead in
the first minute of the game. Williams Lake quickly tied the contest on a goal from Jaxon Nohr, before Paynton made it 2-1 just seconds later. Williams Lake continued to pull away from the Cougars getting goals from Corey Loring and Trey Thomas in the second period and from Chamberlin in the third, while Christian Stump picked up the win between the pipes in a 5-2 victory.

Gleason, Bud (Warren)
Ruth Frieda Riemer geb. Karpe
It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Bud (Warren) Gleason of Big Lake, BC on December 20, 2014 at the age of 80 years old. Bud was born in Kinloch, SK, moved west in 1950, settling in the Williams Lake area in 1972. Bud is survived by his wife, Peggy, of 43 years; nine children: Larry (Josie), Lorna, Terry (Lennis), Kelly (Patrick), Shawna, Barry (Nichole), Warren (Coreena), Brenda (Dan), Shelly (Jeff); twenty-two grandchildren; four greatgrandchildren; and six siblings: Clifford (Hilda), Hazel (George), Clara (Royce), Vic (Sharon), Frank (Betty), Allan and Dorothy (Clarence). Bud was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Edith and brother, Joe. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Big Lake Community Hall on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Big Lake Volunteer Fire Rescue. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
Granny Ruth passed away peacefully on New Year’s Eve, 2014. She was born on January 27, 1933 in Oltaschin, Germany. Ruth is survived by her daughters Heidi Yeske and Eileen With, her brother Helmut in Nordhorn and grandchildren Ryan and Jenny Yeske and Bryan, Dylan and Sophia With. Ruth was predeceased by her husband Walter in 2005. Family was the most important thing in Ruth’s life. Visits from her children and grandchildren brought her great joy. Her love and generosity for them and her pride in them knew no limit. A longtime resident of Williams Lake, Ruth’s spirit of independence and determination always defined her. She enjoyed being social and worked as a sales clerk and waitress before her retirement. Ruth loved fashion and took pleasure in presenting her own unique sense of style. Whether bombing around in Wally’s truck, one of her own jalopies or by taxi, she was always on the move. Granny liked to go downtown. Between errands and shopping, she would grab a quick bite. Porky’s, Denny’s, Zellers, Ming’s, and The Pasta Shoppe were some of her favourites. Ruth always carried a smile, a sense of humour, quirky expressions and her sometimes caustic wit. Sincere gratitude to the staff of Cariboo Memorial Hospital and to friends, neighbours and community members who were always there to help. We will miss her greatly and love her always. An event to honour Granny will be planned for a later date.
Dachsel, Manfred 1937 ~ 2015
With great sadness we announce the passing of Manfred Paul Dachsel who died peacefully in his home, with his loving wife at his side, on January 3, 2015. Born in Eilenburg, Germany on February 12, 1937, he is survived by his wife Gwen, daughters Karena with husband Nazim, and Marita with husband Kevin, grandchildren Atticus, Avner and Harriet, sisters Christa, Helga, Elfriede, Petra and Barbara, brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Dean, brothers Erhart and Deiter, his mother Paula, father Erhart and stepmother Lise-Lotte. Manfred was a complex man with strong convictions and a cheeky smile. Never one to accept the status quo, at age 16 he left the only home he knew and escaped what had become East Germany, leaving his family behind, only to return once for a brief visit ten years later, and then not again until 2006, 2008 and 2011. After working in West Germany and Switzerland, he made his way to Canada, first to Kitchener and eventually to Williams Lake where he married a teacher from New Zealand and stayed to raise a family. An avid outdoorsman, he loved to camp, fish and hunt. Some of the family’s best memories are from fishing at Bella Coola where he’d catch salmon the size of his daughters or camping at Quesnel Lake where they’d spend hours on the boat, enjoying the once pristine beauty. He seemed most alive, most happy when he was in the rugged BC wilderness, which for him seemed to be the embodiment of freedom. He was a jack-of-all-trades, working as a machinist, welder, carpenter, and at an abattoir. He had an uncanny ability to fix almost anything with what he had around the house. Although he was more of a strong-silent type, he enjoyed going for coffee or beer with friends, and later in life, playing his luck at the casino. The family wishes to thank Dr. Fedor, the staff of Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Community Health Services Home Support for their compassionate care, in particular Faye, Arianne, Kim and Melissa. Manfred was never one for attention, so at his request there will not be a public service. He will be interred at the Williams Lake cemetery at a later date in a small, private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
Magnusson, Marvin On January 3, 2015, Marvin Magnusson passed away suddenly in Hinton, AB at the age of 81 years. He will be forever remembered and eternally cherished by his loving family; daughter, Teri (Barry) Fortin of Lac La Hache, BC and their family, Norman (Melissa) and Donna (Mike); daughter, Debbie (George) Lloyd of Williams Lake, BC and family, Richard and Stuart; daughter, Jenny (Frank) Magnusson of Whitehorse, Yukon and son Ben; son, Ward (Sara) Magnusson of Millers Lake, AB and family, Ava and Amira.
