AAC reduction expected: West Fraser Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The drop to three million cubic metres for the annual allowable cut (AAC) in the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area was not unexpected, said West Fraser Plywood Plant
Manager Dave Walgren. “It’s not outside the realm of what we thought it might be,” Walgren told the Tribune Thursday morning at the plant in Williams Lake. In 2007 the AAC was increased from 3.7 to 5.77 million cubic me-
tres because of the mountain pine beetle epidemic. The new AAC is restoring to more historical levels. Within the new AAC, the maximum volume of live trees allowed for harvest is 1.5 million cubic metres, with the remaining half expected to be the salvage of dead
and dying pine. “Our plant uses about 400,000 cubic metres of live trees annually. There will be no immediate impact to this plant,” Walgren said. See COBB Page A3

City appoints economic development board of directors Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council has appointed directors for the city’s arms-length Central Cariboo Economic Development Corporation, following through on a promise Mayor Walt Cobb made during the election. “I think it’s hugely important,” Cobb said of revamping the corporation which had been dormant for about six years. “Council themselves might have ideas, but individually
and collectively I don’t think we have the outreach.” At Tuesday’s regular council meeting, Cobb announced that Larry Stranberg, Dr. Doug Neufeld, John Dell, Sue Lachance, Paul French, Amy Thacker, Vic Sharman, Stephan Hoezier, Tyrel Lucas and Dave Walgren have been named to the corporation. The board will be tasked with pursuing economic development opportunities for the area, whether those be retail, tourism, heavy or

light industry, whatever can be encouraged to come to Williams Lake, Cobb told the Tribune. “Part of their job will be to talk with industries and businesses in town to see where there are some gaps to see what we can do to promote economic activity in our area.” In January, the city announced job cuts, and one of the positions eliminated was the economic development officer. Cobb said the new board of directors, who are all volunteers, will
decide whether they want to hire an economic development officer or support staff to run the corporation, or even hire a consultant to help get the corporation up and running. “We have some money set aside for it and we’ll have to decide how that looks for this year, seeing that we’re already part way through the year,” Cobb said, adding there’s nothing stopping the economic development officer who lost his position from applying for a job with the corporation.

Cobb comfortable with reduction for region Continued From Page A1 “Will we have to look harder for the wood going into the future? Probably.” After Chief Forester Dave Peterson announced the AAC on Wednesday, he said he received calls from people in the Williams Lake area saying they’d
hoped the AAC would be set at four million cubic metres. “Over the last 10 years the average annual harvest in Williams Lake has been 3.3 million,” Peterson told the Tribune. “My understanding is the current level of harvest can continue under this AAC as long as the facilities that can, really
focus on dead pine.” As for how much longer the beetle impacted wood can be used, Peterson anticipated 10 years from now. In the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area, it is estimated the mountain pine beetle infestation peaked in 2005/06 and now the cut level can decrease again to ensure the cut is sus-

tainable in the long term. Mayor Walt Cobb said he was not expecting the AAC level to be as announced, but after speaking with Peterson directly he felt a little more comfort that the cut had taken into consideration the needs of the region. “The fact Dave Peterson lived in Williams
Lake, knows the area, and I worked with him when we were going through the land use management plan is also reassuring,” Cobb said, adding he plans to meet soon with Tolko and West Fraser to discuss the future. In his report, Peterson outlined other factors impacting the amount of land avail-
AN APPLE A DAY...
Cocaine was first isolated as a chemical entity in 1855 but it had been used for thousands of years by South American native people who chewed the leaves of the coca plant that contained the drug. Medically it was originally used as an anaesthetic mainly in the eye but the discovery of its stimulating effects soon found it being used in tonics and health drinks in the 19th Century until its addictive qualities were discovered and its use in these products was banned. The discovery of the microscope in the 1600s was a leap forward in medical science. It allowed scientists to see bacteria. Now, with the Nobel Prize being awarded in chemistry for the discovery of the fluorescent microscope, scientists are able to see inside an individual cell. This heralds the age of “nanoscopy” and will be very useful in discovering the causes of disease like Parkinsons, Huntingtons and Alzheimers. Here’s a hint when reading those nutritional labels on food products. Anything ending in “-ose” usually indicates a sugar of some type, like glucose. If a word ends in “-ase”, it usually indicates an enzyme like protease. Normally, our salivary glands produce about one litre of saliva every day. Some people produce less and the uncomfortable condition of dry mouth can occur. Sometimes, medications can be the cause. These can include antihistamines, heart and blood pressure drugs, cancer drugs, and drugs used to treat Parkinsons. Talk to our pharmacists for advice about any of your medications.

able for harvesting that included the creation of new old management areas and the removal of 141,769 hectares of land because of the Tsilhqot’in rights and title case. Peterson, however, told the Tribune there is not a lot of short-term available wood within the title area that would have an impact on the
AAC. “We assumed no volume coming out of the title area,” he said. The First Nations themselves still have a significant volume of wood in short-term licenses and licensees could still come to arrangements with the First Nations and get more volume that way, Peterson suggested.

Trustees seek input on budget cuts School District 27 announced there will be no school closures to assist in the balancing of the 2015/16 budget. The move, which was passed unanimously at the board’s Feb 24 meeting, means, however, the board will have to look at other options to save an estimated $800,000 or 1.5 per cent, from SD27’s 2015/2016 budget. Since 2013/2014, the board has had to systematically reduce its budget by $800,000 due to the loss of funding protection provided by the Ministry of Education. The ministry provides funding protection to districts such as SD27 that are facing significant declines in enrolment. The impact on SD27 has meant the ministry has funded the district above what the enrolment would generate for the

[The board] will continue to focus its efforts on budget reductions that have little or no impact on students.” - Tanya Guenther, SD27 board chair 2014/15 school year by $3.3 million. It is anticipated that the board will need to continue to have to reduce its budget by about $800,000 per year for the next four or more years (depending on enrolment stabilization) to eliminate the funding protection. Board chair Tanya Guenther said it’s been a challenging experience to say the least.
“Over the past two years the board has met this challenge by reducing departmental budgets, closing schools and programs and reducing staff,” Guenther said. “The board will continue to focus its efforts on budget reductions that have little or no impact on students.” The board is in the process of preparing its 2015/16 budget and is seeking input from
stakeholder groups and the public. To have your say, log onto the district’s website at www.sd27. bc.ca and follow the link to complete the survey. The survey will close at 4 p.m. on March 6. At its Feb. 24 meeting, the board also began to address the controversial topic of community use of schools. The board, in continuing its review of
the policy, has agreed to a process to move forward with addressing issues surrounding school user fees. Last year, the board was criticized for applying user fees at area schools. The decision forced some local non-profit community groups such as the Cubs and Scouts, and the wrestling club to look for other venues to meet, and even forced some groups to disband due to the cost. Tuesday the school board also introduced a new process for determining how the use of school facilities will go forward. The process will involve public input as well as staff and board reviews. The full process to be used will be posted to the district’s website www.sd27.bc.ca.
Secondary students log off social media Sarah Dickens
Special to Tribune/Advisor Lake City Secondary School Falcons have logged off their Twitter accounts and muted their ringtones in honour of Social Media-Free Week. As a testament to antibullying, many students from grades 10-12 at the high school have resolved to abstain from
using social media this week from Monday, Feb. 23 to Friday, Feb. 27. A $5 participation fee enters students’ names in a draw for a series of great awards, including up to $200 in cash for the grand prize. Spearheaded by LCSS teacher, Robin Fofonoff, and her leadership class, the challenge not only encourages students to
rethink their dependence on electronic devices, but also urges participants to reflect on the negative aspects of the dynamic world of social media. To top it all off, the entire LCSS faculty and student body also wore pink shirts on Wed. Feb. 25, in honour of Canada’s annual Anti-Bullying Day. Amidst the crush of
every day life, Lake City secondary students and staff demonstrate great initiative and ambition by taking the time to raise awareness within their school environment. And if teenagers can put off social media and wear pink shirts, so can you. Sarah Dickens is a student at Lake City Secondary School.

money scam subject Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The latest scam to hit Williams Lake tries to convince people they have won Canadian Tire money in amounts varying from $900 to $9,000. “It is not a legitimate contest from Canadian Tire,” said Kevin Gray, general manager of the Canadian Tire Store in Williams Lake Friday. “It’s fraudulent.” Callers are using numbers from various area codes around the country, they are not pinpointed to one location, Gray said.
During the call, the scammer also tries to obtain personal information, which is not something Canadian Tire would ever do, he added. George Holme of Williams Lake told the Tribune his number was used by a scammer on Thursday. “My wife and I are seniors and we were pretty upset to be accused of offering somebody Canadian Tire points,” he said. “I want to warn other people in our community about the scam.” Canadian Tire Corp. is currently investigating the scam, Gray noted.

Fortis eyes Fox Concerns over wildlife allocation splits reiterated Mountain Angie Mindus Staff Writer Comments made by MLA Donna Barnett in a recent Williams Lake Tribune has drawn the ire of the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association and the British Columbia Wildlife Federation. Barnett was commenting on the adjustments made recently to the controversial wildlife allocation splits which determine harvest percentages for guide outfitters and resident hunters, as well as First Nations, and said no adjustments were made in Region 5 because there were no concerns expressed about the splits in our area. Barnett, who was sitting in the legislature at the time of the comments, said if she misspoke, it certainly wasn’t her intent. She has since clarified there were several complaints made to her regarding the wildlife allocation splits by resident hunters and she forwarded all those concerns to Steve Thompson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations, before he made the adjustments to the splits. “I took every e-mail, every phone call, every petition and concern to the minister,” Barnett said. “[But] I do not make the decisions on allocations.” Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association President, hunter and sporting goods store owner Al Bush said he has concerns with the allocation split across the province, including Region 5. “We went to her and told her there was a problem. Our concerns, we hoped, were heard,” said Bush, who met with Barnett prior to the adjustment. “Our concerns were the reduced allocations for the B.C. resident hunters ... for the lost hunting opportunities, not only in our region, but as hunters we go all over the province.” BSWF President George Wilson also called Barnett out on the comments in a letter cc’d to the Tribune. Wilson wrote the BCWF has been consistently opposed to
Carriers Required for
new Wildlife Allocation Policy as a whole. “While several regional examples were used to illustrate potential negative consequences for resident hunters, BCWF has been clear that our opposition to the new policy is not constrained to any specific region or wildlife species and applies to all of B.C.” Wilson noted that the Lone Butte Rod and Gun Club has independently organized a peaceful rally to speak out against the new policy scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28. Barnett said the government did work with the BCWF to determine the changes to allocation splits of most concern, noting the bigger problem is the declining moose numbers. “We have to work together to increase the population of animals –– that’s the best we can do.” In a separate interview with the Tribune, area guide outfitter Stu Maitland expressed his frustration in what
he considers a BCWF campaign against the guiding industry, noting the new split was intended to bring harvest numbers back in alignment from previous years to keep struggling guide outfitting businesses viable. “They’re telling everyone that we’re taking away from the hunters. We’re the ones who have actually lost,” Maitland said, referring to changes made in 2007. In the latest allocation split, which has been in negotiations for some time, Maitland said guide outfitters have lost their success factor and also regional allocation in exchange for consistent percentage splits. “We were willing to take those losses to get certainty.” Maitland echoed Barnett’s concerns about the declining population of moose, which are the heart of Maitland’s guiding business. “They can give us all the animal [allocations] they want, if there are no moose out there, it doesn’t matter.”
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Fortis BC plans to upgrade approximately 2.7 kilometres of its existing transmission line on Fox Mountain in Williams Lake, Fortis manager of corporate services and Aboriginal affairs Bob Gibney told city council at its regular meeting Tuesday. Initially installed in 1957, the pipeline is inspected on an annual basis. “It’s through the inspection program it was determined that section should be replaced to meet new requirements,” Gibney said. All of the transmission gas line is underground on the northwest to northeast side of Fox Mountain and connects with the Spectra Energy transmission line. “Our line goes from transmission pressure to distribution pressure to service the local community,” Gibney explained. Equipment that will
be used for the upgrade is made for working on extremely steep slopes as Fortis recognizes the sensitivity of Fox Mountain, he added. “The plan is to compress the right of way clearing to the absolute minimum without cutting all the trees down or losing the root base,” Gibney said. “”We don’t want to causing any unnecessary erosion.” While the project hasn’t been tendered to contractors yet, Fortis will encourage the successful bidder to use local equipment, manpower and services. It is anticipated the project will take about 10 weeks. There is some marketable timber in the area that will be assessed during a field walk by Fortis staff on March 10. Gas rates will impacted because of the project, but at this point that amount isn’t known, Gibney said. “This project is less than two per cent of our total capital expenditures for the year.”

Property transfer tax a fixture Realtors, homebuyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued. It won’t happen. Why? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial government, needed to balance the budget, and there’s nowhere else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes. Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon, even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy. Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press regional reporter Jeff Nagel: The PTT consists of one per cent charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and 2 per cent after that. That means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands. This calculation is not just a painful hit to the wallet when purchasing a home – it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 billion in 2014. Consider that the PTT raises
significantly more than forestry — formerly the province’s number one industry – which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does. These revenue numbers show how important real estate is to B.C.’s financial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped by record-low interest rates, the provincial coffers would be much poorer. The province also benefits from rising property values, and while there are exemptions for family transfers and first-time homebuyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a necessary evil that raises millions to cover basic provincial services. A strong real estate industry and increased property values, especially in single-family homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting. So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay. – Black Press

Zero tax rate increase a good job by new city council Congratulations to Mayor Walt Cobb and his council for not increasing the city taxes in this year’s budget. We all want more out of our taxpayer dollars but there is only so much to go around and it’s up to our elected officials to keep a lid on the spending without compromising services. I thought the city did a good job in creating interest in the community regarding this year’s budget. Good news on a balanced budget for B.C. Maybe the only province to do that this year. The province also received accolades for cutting regulations. I tuned in to the B.C. legisla-

with Ken Wilson
ture to see what was happening with discussions regarding the budget and happened to catch tourism minister Naomi Yamamoto. She talked about some places
to visit in B.C. and took about two minutes to mention Likely, Horsefly and Quesnel Lakes and urged folks to visit this beautiful place in this province. She is a great lady to have in the tourism ministry and is very hard working. I was with her on the B.C. Chamber Board in the day and found her to be a smart business lady with a good marketing background. Prime Minister Stephen Harper brought about action last week to enhance to the competitiveness of B.C.’s liquified natural gas industry. There is a potential investment into B.C. of more than $150 billion, along with the creation of many thousands
of jobs. It is nice to hear good news from government whether it be local, provincial or federal. So often we hear much negativity about government in this country as some people seem to complain about everything. Look on the bright side, folks. Cheer on the good news and try a heaping dose of being as positive as possible. *** This is the first year in many that I have spent February here in Williams Lake and I consider my choice in staying home this year as pretty commendable because we have had one of the warmest months of February in
a long time. Just last year we had a -30 C in this second month of the year. I can’t remember when we have had so little snow and so much rain in this month. Average is only one day of rain in the month of February. When you think about our warm winter it makes you even feel better especially when there is record-breaking snowfall and freezing weather in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Let’s hope the rest of the year contains really nice weather for the Cariboo Chilcotin. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/ Weekend Advisor.

Everyone loses out on declining population Editor: I feel compelled to write this letter to lay out the facts on the harvest allocation split in the Cariboo Chilcotin. There has been much in the papers, Facebook, radio, etc., on how the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCFW) feels they have lost much to the guiding industry. I would like to set the record straight with numbers direct from fish and wildlife. The BCWF is claiming the big reduction in Limited Entry Hunt (LEH) permits is because they are giving them to the guides –– false. The main reason for large LEH reductions is because of population change. There just is not the moose population there used to be. The guide outfitters get reduced in percentage just as much as the residents do. A healthy moose population is key to high LEH permits and viable guide quotas. I feel I should explain where this all started. In 2007 an allocation policy was put in place with a very complicated matrix table based on utilization and importance. The concept was good, but the outcome was unexpected. The system was supposed to result in very little change between resident/outfitter splits. When it was run it showed devastating decreases in guide quotas that would result in half the outfitters in Region 5 becoming unviable and put out of business. Temporary checks and balances were put in place to offset the hardship while there was much time and effort put into figuring out a better system. As that system was based on
the theory of use it or lose it –– a terrible system for the conservation of our wildlife –– guides were forced to try and kill all their quota whether they wanted to or not and fish and wildlife would pump out more and more LEH permits to have the residents reach their percentages on a dwindling moose population. Residents went from 12 hunter days to harvest a moose in 2005 to more than 25 hunter days, now. There just isn’t enough moose. But that is another topic, for another day. The way it was pre-2009 in Region 5, outfitters had 22 per cent of the non-First Nations AAH (annual allowable harvest) in the region and they had a success factor of 10 per cent, where you are issued more quota than you are allowed as there are always outfitters that are inactive for one reason or another and never reach the allowable harvest. The LEH system is the same, where many more LEH permits are issued than the allotted number of moose they want killed, as not everyone is successful or even goes out hunting. Success factor was critical as outfitters had severe punishment if they went over their quota by even one animal. With resident LEH permits, they could go over more than 100 animals or more with no consequence, other than a few less LEH permits the next year. Outfitters have now lost their success factor. About 20 per cent or more of this region is vacant guide territories. The 22 per cent of the nonFirst Nations AAH split we used to have included that vacant area, which added many more moose to be split between the 54-plus guides
in Region 5. We have also lost that, so just between those two things we went from 340 moose regionally in 2008, to 208 moose (if at full implementation) in 2009. Now we are only going to get two per cent of what is in our guide territories back and with the population change we are down many more moose permits between all guides. I’m afraid there is still going to be a lot of outfitters going out of business. Between all category ‘A’ species in region five, with the original 2007 policy, we would lose 138 animals in our region. With the new decision we get back about 16. I would also like to point out
the true percentages of the moose AAH. The first 55 per cent goes to First Nations, about 20 per cent or more of the region has no guides in it. All the moose in this zone goes 100 per cent to the residents, and as it is not all good moose habitat it is about five per cent of the AAH. Of the remaining 40 per cent which is in guide territory only, it is split 75/25 with the non-First Nations residents. This is 30 per cent to non-First Nations residents and 10 per cent to the guides. In summary of the split in AAH, 90 per cent goes to all residents –– First Nations and non-First Nations –– and 10 per cent goes to the guides.
Outfitters are generally residents of this province who have a passion for abundant wildlife — a passion for wild places, a passion for the hunt and want to make their living doing so. We certainly are not getting rich; it’s a way of life. We have to stop bickering over a few animals and get on with the real issue, which is loss of habitat and growing our most valuable resource — wildlife. We have to all work together –– resident hunters, First Nations and outfitters, or we will all lose in the end. Stu Maitland Guide Outfitter
LCSS STAND UP TEAM SPEAKS UP
Gaeil Farrar photo
Lake City Secondary Stand Up team members Taylor Brink (left), Gabrielle Pierce, Jordyn Kerley and Mazira Faubert give a presentation at school board on Tuesday about the various anti-bullying programs at their school that support the inclusion of all students.
Product innovations and technology important to industry B.C. needs to take a lead in new technology rather than following. A paper on “... Competitiveness of the Wood Products Sector in BC” by Thomas Maness describes the province’s engineered wood panels market position. According to the author “Much of the current technology used to manufacture engineered wood products was invented in Canada. However, the technology has more recently been adapted for southern pine, and [manufacturing] is growing in the south-eastern U.S. Nonetheless the level of technological sophistication is still judged to be higher in Canada, and oriented strand board (OSB) made from aspen is more consistent and lighter than that manufactured from southern pine. Therefore OSB may still present an economic opportunity in Can-
Forest Ink Jim Hilton ada for some time.” The author then describes a new OSB plant (one of the largest in the world) constructed in Fort St. John because of the close proximity to some of the highest quality aspen stands. Analysts are closely watching how this plant competes with the southern operations which have inferior raw material but are much closer to huge U.S. markets. While Canada produces about 40 per cent of the OSB production in North America the capacity
is moving to Europe and South America, as well as the southern U.S. “Plywood is another product for which BC has a clear competitive advantage. Western plywood is recognized in the market as a superior product and draws a 10 per cent premium over southern pine plywood. However, plywood production is shrinking for a number of reasons, but chiefly because OSB continues to gain market share in structural residential and non-residential applications.” Plywood’s main strength is in the industrial market when made from a superior grade of logs which B.C. has in relative abundance. The value added industry is growing in Canada but unfortunately B.C. is lagging behind the rest of the provinces because
of a lack of skilled labour and a sawmilling industry that has been designed to produce products that just meet grade standards. As log size and quality has dropped so has lumber quality. Canada has been good at implementing proven technologies but not necessarily good at first inventions. Successful first inventors reap the largest rewards as there are few barriers to the entry into these new markets. Canadian industry needs to respond more rapidly, be more innovative in adapting new technology to meet customers’ needs and take a lead rather than following. The author also describes innovative modular housing using new cad/cam software that has been developed in Europe but could be developed in Canada. We pres-
ently lack many of the skills, management and mindset to adopt this technology in a large way. It is good fit since we have the natural resources like quality wood fibre. The paper goes on to describe some product innovations, including OSB products, composite products, which incorporates recycled plastic materials. Mixing these products with wood fibres gives the end product more strength than plastic on its own. Since this paper is nine years old it may not be the best source for the most recent innovations. 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.

Well here we are in March already, time goes by so fast from season to season. When I was a young girl I grew up in the city and went to big city schools and never realized how a small school like ours makes you feel safe and at home. I went to the Horsefly School the other day to have a visit and it was a warm and wonderful experience. Our school was built in 1968 and in 1982 was revamped and had a gym, library, and new office area added. In 1982 one of my neighbours Elanor Godlonton started teaching at the school and continued until retirement in 2004 and every year since she volunteers for whenever and wherever she is needed. She is just one of the many people in our community that make our school what it is! The principal is Holly Crandall and we have three divisions with full time teachers K-2 Mrs. Erikson, 3-5 Mrs. Farkas, 6-9 Mr. Kowalski and one part time teacher Katelyn O’Donnel. We have four teachers aids, Carly Wilkenson, Riley Windeler, Tanya Christiensen & Kelli Niquidet. Kelli is also our secretary and librarian. Riley, Tanya & Kelli all went to school in Horsefly as well! The custodian at the school is Elaine Johnson and she does an amazing job at making the school all shiny and bright. The lunch time supervisor is Keisha Slater. We have two great bus drivers that get the children to school each day they are Bob Godfrey and Leslie Heidel. We have 55 children in

Horsefly School Principal and teachers & teachers aids! the school this year and unlike larger schools this enables each child to get enough individual attention, and increases the odds of having them graduate as well! Just because the school is smaller it does not mean that they don’t do as much, they have organized field trips and sporting events, some to mention are Mt. Timothy, Ball Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, Gavin Lake, Educo Team building, Seattle, Vancouver, Barkerville, the school also hosts a Volleyball tournament every year. The school also has fun day throughout the year Movie Day, PJ Day, Snow Sculpt Day, Game Day, Sports Day and they have a swim week in Williams Lake. The school does fundraisers with the Horsefly school PAC (this group is headed up by Ricky Seelhof and has many parents of the students that make it a success). Some of the fundraisers are Purdys Chocolates, Magazines, Poinsettia fundraiser, Bingo, Book Fair and the list goes on! Horsefly school also has a Hot Lunch Program that is totally volunteer based on Fridays. Local Hugh Barrett built an amazing buffet stand for this program and he has

just completed a new stage for the gym. The school also has a Ready Set Learn preschool program on Wednesday mornings, and one thing I noticed in the school that I thought was great was a student of the week! You really feel wonderful when you take a stroll in and around the school, all the teachers and the students seem so happy! Small Rural schools are so needed in communities it is the very backbone of make communities grow! Our school is also used for lots of other activities after school by the students and adults, from badminton to kickboxing and other community events! I would like to say “Way To Go” to all of the teachers, students and the many countless volunteers for making the Horsefly school and community such a wonderful place to live.

Ford test drivers raise $2,000 for LCSS The figures are in and Lake City Ford’s Drive 4UR School fundraiser last October has raised $2,000 for Lake City Secondary School. The money will be shared among the participating teachers who volunteered to participate in the event for the benefit of their students, says Principal Gregg Gaylord. The funds will help to support the school counselling program, art and woodworking program at the junior campus, girls rugby program at the senior campus, alternate and special education programs and the student leadership program, Gaylord says. Given that there was only about a week to organize and promote the event after the teacher strike ended last fall, senior campus teacher and rugby coach Morley Wilson says it was a pretty good fundraiser. When the event comes around again this May (date and location to be confirmed) Lake City Ford and Lake City Secondary hope to raise even more funds for the school with the Drive 4UR School fundraiser. To participate all an individual has to do is come to the event and test drive one
Lake City Ford owner David Wong (left) presents a cheque for $2,000 raised at the Drive 4UR School event last fall to Lake City Secondary Principal Gregg Gaylord with school counsellor Jennifer Ives, sales manager Bevan Koch, teacher Lyle Fink, teacher Morley Wilson, and sales consultants Joel Gyselinck and Wade Sutton. of the Ford vehicles around the city with one of the dealership consultants who will explain everything you might want to know about the vehicle. For every test drive made by people Ford donates $20 to the school hosting the event. Lake City Ford owner David Wong hopes many people will support the event this spring so they can raise funds to the program’s full potential of $6,000. The first event two years ago raised $3,000 for the secondary school. Leftovers from your Garage Sale?

Bridal fair draws a big crowd Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer When it comes to a formal wedding, or graduation day, everything has to be just right, from the cut of the suit to the gown. And Williams Lake has no shortage of home-based and retail businesses to
help brides, grooms, graduates and their families make it so. A total of 37 vendors showing everything from wedding cakes, to shoes, event planning ideas, nail and body care, to honeymoon travel destinations participated in the 2015 Bridal Fair and Fashion Show held Sunday afternoon
at the Signal Point Convention Centre. The afternoon featured a runway fashion show of wedding gowns, party dresses and formal men’s suits from BFF Fashions, It’s “You” Time, Brides and Belles, Ciprani’s Bridal, and Suit Up Men’s Wear at About Face Photography. Event co-ordinator
Ashley Hyde said more than 120 people visited the event that was sponsored by the Women’s Contact Society to raise funds for the Beauty From the Inside Out program which the Women’s Contact Society partners with School District 27 and Interior Health to put on each year for Grade 7 girls.
For programs above, priority will be given to students who meet admission criteria and apply by the First Review Date.

Good Fences Make Good Neighbours? Growing up in California, the kids in my neighbourhood played a lot of backyard baseball. Chasing home runs and foul balls created the necessity for a certain skill -climbing fences. Every yard had a fence in my neighbourhood. That old neighbourhood was built on the principle that ‘good fences make good neighbours’. To me, having neighbours meant having fences - all kinds of fences. Years later I visited the Midwest for a family reunion. Driving through a Minnesota neighbourhood caused a sense of unfamiliarity that was difficult to pin down, until I recognized the strange absence of fences. A stretch of 6-8 backyards, all connected and fenceless, was not uncommon in that part of the world. I imagined the backyard baseball possibilities on those long stretches of green grass. I saw children running from yard to yard with no barriers to stop them. The neighbourhood felt more like a park. The increased sense of community was a revelation to me. ‘Good fences make good neighbours’ is an adage built on the sad reality of our human condition - but that Minnesota neighbourhood reminded me that we are meant for something better. In Mark’s Good News story (Mark 12:28-31) Jesus gave us the
PARSONS PEN
BY JEREMY VOGT original good neighbour adage. He is asked a question: “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (The New International Version. [2011]. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.) “Love God, and love your
neighbour.” That’s all. Jesus is essentially saying, if you boil down everything that God has revealed about how to live life, these two truths remain. Each one is critical. Loving God is first. That is the fountain of real life. Loving your neighbour is second, and it’s really inseparable from the first. Someone has said, “The best way to demonstrate your love for God is to love your neighbour.” And Jesus doesn’t have any mushy romantic idea when he uses the word ‘Love’. Love is a verb, not a feeling. Love in the Bible means to serve, to prefer someone else’s needs above your own. Real love means to show kindness and compassion and friendship through practical actions that benefit another person. Your neighbour, most practically, is living next door or across the street. Your neighbour is also that gentleman at the grocery store or in the lady in the car next to you at the traffic signal. Your neighbour is the one who is nearby. As Spring approaches and we spend more time ‘out and about’, let us remember that it isn’t good fences that make good neighbours. Kindness, courtesy, compassion, practical help and service, warm smiles and simple conversations… these make good neighbours.

Falcons runners up at zone championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Lake City Falcons senior girls basketball team finished just shy of a provincial berth last weekend when they played host to the ‘AAA’ North Central Zone Championships. The Falcons, after battling to the tournament final Saturday, fell to a tough North Peace squad from Fort St. John, 84-38. Lake City, who came into the tournament seeded behind North Peace and Dawson Creek, played the underdog role to perfection beating Dawson Creek, 4741, then again, 59-41, in the tournament semifinal to advance to the championship game. It was the first time Williams Lake had hosted a ‘AAA’ girls zones since 2006. “Last year we made our stand in the North Central Zone and placed in the medals with a bronze, so we are happy to have improved on that placing to take silver this year,” said Falcons’ head coach Brigette Peel. “Some of the other schools have the advantage of playing together year after
year. [And since the amalgamation of Columneetza secondary and Williams Lake secondary] we had to spend a lot of time developing as a team and learning to play with girls who were used to opposing each other. “It’s not that the rivalries still exist, it just took a lot of time to see how this player or that player was going to react to the so many different situations basketball presents, to develop chemistry, trust and an identity.” With a guard-heavy roster the Falcons, throughout the season, had to rely on a three-guard, two-forward offense. Prior to zones Peel said the Falcons had a discouraging four-win, 12-loss season, however, worked hard and improved steadily throughout the campaign. “This team has worked hard to improve,” she said. “They persevered to rise above that and win the games we did at zones, and I was very proud of their efforts and teamwork and, of course, the outcome.” Six girls from the Falcons 12-member roster — Kaylee Billyboy, Carly Magnuson, Maddison Gaylord, Nata-

“But the experience gained by this strong group of Grade 11s will show some great basketball.” Peel said Grade 11 Laura Pfleiderer, who won the tournament’s most outstanding defensive player and took a leadership role early on in the team’s season, plus
Grade 11s Emma Pfleiderer, Melanie Wintjes, Naomi Lomavatu, and lone Grade 10 player Morgan Blois, will play a key role in next year’s team’s success. “These girls show a lot of promise,” she said. “I think we can have high hopes for next year’s team.”
The Midget Girls Timberwolves rep hockey team will host a bottle drive around the city this Saturday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise funds for their trip to complete March 15 at the provincials in Penticton. People can also drop off bottles at the Bottle Depot on Mackenzie Avenue for the team.

Lakecity grapplers had an arm bar on the competition last month during the Richmond Western Age Class Tournament. The Williams Lake Wrestling Club sent elementary and high school wrestlers to the three-day event, held at the Richmond Olympic Oval. WLWC head coach Sonia Conrod said it’s an important tournament for high school athletes because it is a qualifying tournament for nationals. Kindergarten students Tanner Scaiano, in the 20-kilogram class, and Kai Pare, in the 17-kilogram division, both wrestled to bronze medals. Grade 4 wrestler Kalub Scaiano was on point in the 27-kilogram division, grappling his way to a gold medal,
while Klay Pare — wrestling in the boys 25-kilogram division due to a lack of competition — brought home a silver medal. Tyleen Scaiano, wrestling in the 44-kilogram and 47-kilogram school girl divisions, battled to gold and silver medals, respectively. In the school boy division it was Darian Atkins (59 kilograms) taking silver, while Adam Sutherland, competing in a bracket draw, lost a hard-fought bronze medal match for fourth place. Braden Conrod, after losing his first match in the 69-kilogram class, rallied to win three straight, however, was defeated in the bronzemedal contest. “Some of the best wrestling takes place at this tournament,” Sonia said. “It was a great experience for all the wrestlers that competed.”

The family is saddened to announce the passing of Harry Angus Ferguson. Harry passed away February 9, 2015 in 100 Mile House at the age of 81. God saw you getting tired, The cure was not to be. So he closed his arms around you, And whispered come with me. You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend. You faced your pain with courage, Until the very end.
Manna was born in Baden bei Vienna, Austria, as the eighth of ten children to Matteo and Ida Thun-Hohenstein. She had a happy and privileged childhood but her teen years were shaken by the tragedies and hardships of living in the midst of World War II. Manna met and married her “Spezi,” Wolfgang, in Salzburg in 1948. Together with their first-born, Tina, they immigrated to Canada in December of 1949 to start a new life. Sponsored by the von Reidemann family, their first Canadian home was at the Alkali Lake Ranch. From there they moved to the Chilcotin to work for the Bayliff family. By the time they were expecting their third child, Williams Lake became home. Wolf built their house on Sunset Drive and together they raised their family of eight children! Manna loved her home and lived there independently until three weeks ago when the progression of her cancer needed more care. She passed away peacefully on February 17th, 2015. Manna was a woman of integrity; displayed by the courage of her convictions, the strength of her values, and a love of life. At the core of her life were her faith and her family. Her love extended far beyond her immediate family: countless friends from all corners of the globe have experienced the heartfelt warmth and kindness of her presence. She was Grossmami to so many! She has given ALL of us her gifts of FAITH, LOVE, WISDOM, and PERSEVERANCE She was pre-deceased by: Grandson Stefan - 1988 Husband Wolf - 1989 Son Benno - 1990 Daughter Tina - 2014
At Harry’s request there will be no service.
She leaves behind: Tina† (Henning) – Donata, Ilka Rudi (Cathie) – Teresa, Karla, Lydia, Lucas Elisabeth – Matina Matheo (Heather) – Christiana, Franciska Ricci (Liz) – Levon, Alexi, Caius, Chiara, Sophie Rupert (Trenisa) – Benno, Giulianna, Vittoria Benno† (Sandra) – Guido, Stefan† Stoffi (Angela) – Maria, Emilia, Francesca, Alessandro, Carmel Plus nine great-grandchildren

March 20, 1924 – February 16, 2015
Rocky had an adventurous spirit. As a teenager he worked as a deckhand on a fishing trawler where he travelled from Vancouver to the QCIslands, he later tried his hand as a logger on Vancouver Island. He landed a job with the Boundary Commission surveying the International boundary between Canada and the US. He travelled to Alaska aboard the ocean liner SS Princess Louise, playing in the lounge along the way. His stint in Alaska was spent in Haines where he played in the local music hall. Upon returning to Aldergrove Rocky met the love of his life, Lillian, they married in 1948. Their 61 years together brought many life adventures in the Cariboo area of BC where most of their 9 children were born. They made their way up the Fraser Canyon where Rocky worked as a construction worker building the railway tunnels. Once in the Cariboo Rocky logged with horses and ran a small sawmill for many years until he began his career as a faller with BC Hydro survey department falling “right of way” on most major transmission lines in BC as well as constructing some of the hydro stations. When you look at seemingly impossible sites for transmission power lines Rocky has traversed most of them multiple times. Hydro re-located him to Smithers where his family lived for many years while Rocky continued to work around BC. Rocky was blessed with a long healthy life and clear mind, passing one month short of his 91st birthday. Predeceased by his wife Lillian, April 2010, Rocky is survived by his family Barb (Wilf), Gloria (Randy) Donna (Tom) Bernie (Jeanne) Vicky, Sherry (Rob) Colleen (Stubbs) Chuck (Lori) and Bonnie (Rick), 19 grandchildren & 10 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at the Clinton Community Hall on April 4, 2015 at 2 PM followed by a celebration of life to include sharing of memories and music. For further information please visit the facebook event “ Rocky’s Celebration of Life.”

ROKSTAD, Bernard (Rocky) With deep heartfelt sadness the family of Rocky announces the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Rocky was born in Tromso Norway moving to the City of Vancouver BC with his parents Halfdan and Anna at 3 years of age. His family later moved to property on Otter Road, Aldergrove where he attended school at the South Otter School. Rocky was born with music in his blood, at a young age he would visit neighbours and listened to music on the radio, returning home to practice playing the harmonica and later the accordian, he eventually played up to seven instruments. The band leader with his first professional musician’s job bought him a Hohner piano style accordian. Rocky was a proficient musician who developed his own unique accordion style, he later formed a band called Rocky’s Rhythm Ramblers. This band played for many of the numerous small hall dances in the Fraser Valley and later in communities throughout BC where he lived.

Lakecity to host Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium Williams Lake will have an incredible opportunity to showcase its trails as the city welcomes hundreds of mountain bikers and industry professionals from across British Columbia to the Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium this fall. From Oct. 2nd to 4th, the city will host a diverse group of industry professionals including media, destination marketers, commercial operators, land managers, government and industry representatives, professional riders, and mountain bike advocates. The City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District have a long history of supporting mountain biking, and recognize the positive economic impact mountain bike tourism has on our region. A partnership between local governments and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and the Williams Lake Cycling Club continues to develop mountain biking infrastructure and promotion in the Cariboo. This partnership, coupled with world class single track, a dedicated local riding community, continued trail maintenance, and a strong relationship with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, helped create the winning bid to host the Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium in Williams Lake this fall. Eleven communities from throughout B.C. submitted proposals but unique Cariboo qualities helped Williams Lake win the bid. Hosting this event will have multiple benefits to the community of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Region through heightened media attention, positive economic impact, and opportunity to showcase the continued hard work and support that has built Williams Lake into a world class mountain bike destination. In addition to the conference itself, the weekend will include guided rides, a social evening, and a film screening. Mayor Walt Cobb is pleased to have Williams Lake host this event and recognizes the benefits. “Having this group in Williams Lake will not only impact our econo-
my during the symposium, but it will increase tourism and influence the economy in the seasons to come,” he says. “Our regional effort to support and promote mountain biking has given the Cariboo a presence on both a provincial and international stage, and the heightened me-
dia attention will keep us there,” says Al Richmond, Cariboo Regional District Chair and Area G Director. The Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium and the Williams Lake Cycling Club are pleased to have their hard work recognized and have agreed to become sponsors of this
event through in-kind and cash donation. “The Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium has always been about creating partnerships and fostering economic growth,” says Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium President Thomas Schoen. “We are thrilled to be
a sponsor of this exciting event that will showcase our partnerships with the City of Williams Lake, the Cariboo Regional District, the Williams Lake Cycling Club, the Williams Lake Indian Band and of course the conference host, the Western Canada Mountain Bike Tourism Asso-
ciation. There is a need to present events in the Interior and in the North of BC and we are more than ready to showcase what the local cycling community has accomplished over the past years.” Williams Lake Cycling Club president Shawn Lewis said they’re looking forward
to the opportunity to showcase Williams Lake and anticipate a successful event. More information is available online at mtbtourismsymposium.ca. To become involved or to support this event, please contact Martin Littlejohn at 604-254-4266 or martin@mbta.ca.
