Low copper prices force mine layoffs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Thirty-four unionized workers have received layoff notices at Gibraltar Mine, said Jon Hawkins, the national rep for Unifor Local 3018. “Under the collective agreement members have bumping rights and some of them are choosing to do

that,” Hawkins said, confirming the positions are in mine operations and the mill, including 13 millwrights. Taseko vice-president of corporate affairs Brian Battison said the layoffs reflect the difficult economic conditions that are facing the copper business at this time. “Our objective is to keep the mine

South Lakeside resident Peter Epp told city council during its regular meeting Tuesday that he has asked Canada Post to relocate the community mailboxes in his neighbourhood. Presently his mailbox is located on Birch Hill Street which is on a steep hill. “When the first snowfall comes it is going to be slippery there. If you are going up the hill the only place you can stop is in a household driveway across the street,” Epp said, noting there are no sidewalks and very little room to pull over on either sides of the road. Birch Hill Street resident Jessica Doerner told council when she called Canada Post with her concerns, she

Coun. Craig Smith said there are other mailboxes in Williams Lake placed poorly and suggested council ask that more boxes be relocated. Coun. Jason Ryll said he is running into similar scenarios and challenges where he lives on Dog Creek Road. “Calling Canada Post is not getting me anywhere,” Ryll added. Council also passed a motion to advise Canada Post to continue to consult with residents on determining the safest and accessible locations for community mailboxes.

Partnership tackles pet overpopulation in Anahim Lake The Ulkatcho First Nation has partnered with the BC SPCA and a mobile veterinary business to tackle pet overpopulation in the Chilcotin community. Cariboo Country Mobile Veterinary Services (CCMVS) and the Ulkatcho First Nation, with help from a BC SPCA grant, have just completed an ambitious plan to spay and neuter 70 cats and dogs in their Anahim Lake community. “It all started from a phone call (the Ulkatcho First Nation) made, which came to us,” says Mark Collett, marketing director for the Cariboo Mobile Vet. “There were a lot of animals running

around loose, and they wanted our help in controlling their companion animal population.” Collett found out about the BC SPCA’s grant program, which helps B.C. communities spay and neuter animals, and applied. He and CCMVS veterinarians Pam Barker and registered vet tech Michelle Collett then coordinated their efforts, aided by a $3,000 BC SPCA grant to fix 20 cats and an $8,100 BC SPCA grant to fix 35 dogs in the Anahim Lake First Nations community. “They’ve been great. Everybody who’s been involved have all been so helpful and so positive,” Collett say.

Spaying and neutering the animals helps prevent unwanted litters of puppies and kittens, Collett notes, and adds there have been other positives, such as rehoming or finding homes for animals who need them from the Anahim Lake community. Barker adds that spayed and neutered animals are less likely to roam or fight, and are less likely to succumb to certain kinds of cancers that afflict older, intact animals. “The BC SPCA is thrilled to support projects like this one,” says BC SPCA outreach coordinator Megan Munroe. “Huge disparities in access to affordable spay/neuter services

exist throughout the province. When members of a community come together to address the problem, it helps provide a successful solution and sets a fantastic example for other B.C. communities to follow.” CCMVS hopes to add one to two more veterinarians to their team, as there appears to be a demand for veterinary services in many smaller B.C. communities, where services aren’t readily available. “Many towns in B.C. fall between the cracks with respect to veterinary services,” Barker says. “They do not have the population to support a full-time fixed veterinary clin-

Drugs for high blood pressure are best taken at regular intervals. It’s good to carry one day’s worth of doses with you in case you forget to take it at home or if you stay away longer than anticipated. Speaking of high blood pressure, it’s a good example of how people can feel healthy but they may not be healthy. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms and can do damage to our bodies if it goes unchecked. Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Diarrhea is a common side effect of medications. Antibiotics are a common cause accounting for about 25% of all cases. Our pharmacists will alert you if your new prescription may cause diarrhea and suggest ways to counteract it. If you are having a heart attack, chewing a regular A.S.A. (Aspirin) 325mg tablet can save your life. The tablet shouldn’t be coated and be full strength. The A.S.A. helps by inhibiting the part of the blood called platelets which are involved in the clotting of our blood. Don’t forget to call 911! Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Our pharmacists are happy to be part of your health care team.

The fact of the matter is our market-economy is built around offering different wages and prices for different types of labour and goods. It is not the government’s role to fix these differences with wealth redistribution or other methods, as it has become clear that kind of intervention often fails to achieve meaningful results. What does work is when the government assists people in access to higher education. The more educated our population, the more innovative and capable people are in both the workforce

talking about in my campaign is that I support complete personal income tax exemption for people who earn roughly $30,000-35,000 per year and under. Currently you are only exempt from income tax for roughly the first $11,000 earned. This is not enough and many low-income individuals are still having to pay taxes while they struggle to pay for essentials like housing, food and transportation. My plan for increasing the income tax exemption would help lower income earners to get ahead.

and public life. While primary and secondary schooling are almost solely provincial matters, post-secondary institutions and their students often need federal funds to properly function. The federal government must begin to earmark transfer-payments specifically for making education more affordable, instead of allowing provinces to simply put transfers into general revenue. This, combined with eliminating interest on student loans and ensuring grants aren’t eaten by administrative fees will help more people from lowerincome backgrounds improve their opportunities.

Democracy for the consumer age equals apolitical spending. As an apolitical candidate I envision Canadian taxpayers being given the power to make decisions about their country’s priorities through a simple system that makes every consumer purchase a form of vote. I envision a world in which consumers would be able to pick what proportion of the taxes they pay go to each major government program through an elaborate packaging system already in place. The same system that allows Airmiles, etc. The poor and rich together, would use a packaging system that allows the God-almighty poor a chance to pick a policy by picking a specific label. Every can of beans or pack of cigarettes sold every day would be a vote to put the tax revenue generated by that item into a specific program.

The benefits of being thankful Thanksgiving is a time when we are all supposed to count our blessings, but it shouldn’t — and doesn’t — have to be the only time. Study after study has shown that cultivating a sense of gratitude for the good things in our life is beneficial to our health, both mental and physical. For instance, research by Robert Emmons, a psychology professor at the University of California and Lisa Aspinwall, a psychology professor at the University of Utah, shows grateful people are more likely to have friends, less likely to obsess over their problems, to sleep better, take better care of themselves, cope better with stress and feel generally happier. One tip the experts suggest to encourage that feeling of thankfulness is writing a few minutes in a gratitude journal before turning in for the night. Emmons found that people who kept a journal to list five things

they felt grateful for each night reported fewer health problems and greater optimism than those who didn’t. Gratitude, the researchers say, is about refusing to allow the negatives to interfere with the positives. It’s about choosing to be happy. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said it well: “For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.” So did American novelist Alice Walker, who wrote that “‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” This Thanksgiving, take a few moments to think about what makes you grateful, for the people and experiences that you are thankful for. And then keep on doing it in the days to come. - Black Press

GIVING THANKS

Jutta Bienhaus’ Chilcotin Road elementary school Grade 2 classmates are thrilled with the results of the stone soup they made in class Wednesday. The classroom tradition is based on the old folk story in which villagers all give a small item of food to put into a pot of soup to share with a hungry traveller.

Innovation: technical and cultural in farming; The Worm Forgives the Plough A long time ago, I read that one of the problems in agriculture is that children used to learn practical mechanical things by hanging around the blacksmith shops and watching new things being made along side the making and shaping of horseshoes. Nowadays, my source said, there are no more blacksmith shops in our towns and villages. There are the fabricating shops, which do some of the same things, but kids can’t just hang around and learn like they used to. The point is that young people need to learn by doing. You can read a book or study the texts but one really needs to get hands onto the things and work them, make them, form them. I found that at my ranch, the more tools and equipment we had, such as welding equipment,

big vices and anvils for pounding steel, the handier the boys became. I learned so much at my uncle’s elbow while he helped me adapt a mower to a tractor, like straightening a bent axle. My forge, which beats cutting torches for heating larger pieces of metal, has taught many young people how to bend steel without

weakening it by bending it cold. Those experiences might just steer a youngster to engineering of one kind or another. Some historians credit agriculture and the smithing shops with many of the inventions, which went on to be the foundation of the industrial revolution. Good or bad, tools were powerful and the shaped and sharp plowshares helped feed growing populations. New techniques and tools or equipment can help or hinder soil health, depending on how they are used. Zero and minimum tillage equipment was invented to overcome over ploughing which is disruptive to the health of bacteria in soils and which causes much erosion. A 1973 book called The Worm Forgives the Plough, by John

Stewart Collis, Penguin Press, was formative in a cultural revolution in agriculture which sought to restore fertility by better farming practices. Much research and on-farm trials have passed under the bridge since that book. Recently on the scene as a guru in agricultural practices is Gabe Brown from North Dakota. (Google him if you are interested) He and his family farm thousands of acres. He has become an avid promoter of “cover crops” which can be seeded over existing crops or put in fields recently cultivated. His method, which I call a cultural practice, is to plant many, even hundreds, of different seeds in order to have a stand of plants in which different plants having different nutrient needs bring up out of the subsoil

a great variety of minerals. This is a case of not putting all your eggs in one basket by planting only a few varieties and risking that the climatic and soil conditions are correct for what you have sown. This introduction of biodiversity into swards of fodder (fields) is innovative. Worms and dung beetles process dead plant materials into growing plant food. New cultural practices, like new technologies and machines, need to be learned by trial, by demonstration, and by adoption from those who dare to lead.

A brief history of health spending The federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife. The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow. No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending. But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it. If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts. After cutting provincial health and social services transfers for years to end the string of operating deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job. In 2004, Martin staged meetings with premiers, emerging

with Tom Fletcher

with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future. The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper. These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.) The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a minimum hike of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today. All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s

NDP finance minister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 2018-19, and continue to grow after that. In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the longterm approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent

and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six

per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

THE POWER OF TWO

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Friends and fans enjoyed celebrating the launches of Aaron Cully Drake’s first book Do You Think This is Strange and his mom Donna Milner’s latest book A Place Called Sorry at the Tourism Discovery Centre Thursday evening. Both authors read a chapter from their books and locals took turns at the open mic.

Last minute thoughts about the forest industry before the election Is there “a mood shift underway among voters?” Jim Stirling, a contributing editor for the Logging and Sawmilling Journal, poses this question and a number of observations. He feels the forest industry is seen as a sunset industry by the federal government in Ottawa as demonstrated by the lack of interest shown during the election. Hydrocarbons are the new timber baron. Stirling thinks there may be a shift in the thinking of voters about the headlong rush by both levels of governments to focus on the export of oil and gas in various forms to offshore markets. He points out we would be wise to recall the senior governments rush to export coal to Asia in the 1980s, i.e. the promises

Forest Ink Jim Hilton never kept and the bills for infrastructure dumped on the public. What about the other side of the development equation? What happens when there is an oil spill and who will sustain the longterm consequences? He also feels more people are feeling uneasy about our consumption and cavalier attitude toward our natural resources such as water, for example. All of a sudden that ubiquitous stuff that comes out of the

tap isn’t so ubiquitous anymore and we should be concerned about the implications of fracking in the oilfields. Stirling concludes that all of this stuff is contributing to an uneasiness about where we are going as a society and the motives of those who wish to lead us. More people are beginning to question whether a robust export dominated national economy is compatible today with adequate environmental protection and preservation. Some recent events would indicate we are still taking environmental shortcuts with the announcement about Montreal proposing to dump eight billion litres of raw sewage into the Saint Lawrence River so they can

do some repairs to their sewage system. It will be interesting to see what impact the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal will have on the soon-to-expire softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. David Lindsay, CEO of the Forest Products Association of Canada, is pleased with the deal and mentions a number of countries that will probably eliminate or reduce their tariffs. Unfortunately, the U.S. was not included in the list. There was not much on the forest industry at our recent all candidates forum, certainly not from the Conservatives who did not have a representative at the public meeting and who apparently didn’t attend other public events.

Most at the meeting agreed we need a different format for voting. I for one was impressed by the knowledge and ideas of all the candidates that were present and I would like to see a governing body that had input from all elected representatives and not dominated by one party, which can’t be bothered to show up at a candidates forum. It’s time to have a new system which allows more independent thinking and input and get away from the party politics. 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.

Entertainment Culture Luther screening Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor

Gaeil Farrar photo

John Wellburn, with his wife, Carolina Rieffolo, and infant son Little Roy, are pictured here with the fully functioning shower and sink set John made from motorcycle parts that are among the art pieces of Into the Wind, the October show at the Station House Gallery.

Motorcycle sculpure captivates John Wellburn is one of 16 artists featured in the October show at the Station House Gallery. The show Into the Wind is all about motorcycle culture and the art surrounding that love for motorcycles and the open road. Wellburn has two avant-garde sculptural pieces in the show made from old motorcycle parts that when hooked up to a water source are fully functioning shower and

sink units. In his biography Welburn says he has been riding motorcycles since he was a little kid razzing around the woods on his Honda Trail CT 70. He made the transition from dirt to street bikes in 2004 when he and a friend modified 1970s BMWs and set off for South America. The story about his South American adventures can also be read in the magazine

article he wrote which is also on display at the gallery. John has ridden motorbikes all over the world — Europe, Africa, and all over North, South, and Central America. An established mountain bike photographer, John has always extended his creativity beyond the lens and in this show finds inspiration in the metals that make the machine.

The days are getting shorter and cooler, a perfect time to see a good movie. The Williams Lake Film Club will show its next film Luther on Tuesday, Oct. 13, in the Gibraltar Room. Luther tells the story of the life and work of Martin Luther, a German theologian whose writings inspired the Protestant reformation. He is played by Joseph Fiennes. Alfred Molina, Claire Cox and Peter Ustinov (in his last role) join him with many others. This film is a biography, drama, history and is a German/U.S. co-production. It runs for 123 minutes, is rated PG 13 and was released in 2003. Languages are English and Latin, with some subtitles. Martin Luther was born on Nov. 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany. After his studies he joined a monastic

In 1510 he visited Rome on behalf of a number of Augustinian monasteries, and was appalled by the corruption he found there. Luther became increasingly angry about the clergy selling ‘indulgences’ — promising remission from punishments for sin, either for someone still living or for one who had died and

was believed to be in purgatory. On Oct. 31, 1517, he published his ‘95 Theses,’ attacking papal abuses and the sale of indulgences. Joseph Fiennes is perfect for his role as Martin Luther, the brilliant man of God whose defiant actions changed the world. This epic, ravishingly beautiful film traces Luther’s extraordinary and exhilarating quest for the people’s liberation. Regional princes and the powerful church wield a fast, firm and merciless grip on 16th-century Germany. But when Martin Luther issues a shocking challenge to their authority, the people declare him their new leader and hero. Even when threatened with violent death, Luther refuses to back down, sparking a bloody revolution that shakes the entire continent to its core. He defied the church, married Katharina von Bora,

and enjoyed a happy marriage with six children. Today over 540 million people worship in churches inspired by his Reformation. Funds raised through the Williams Lake Film Club help to support the LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities, to provide one-on-one tutoring. A big thank you to all of you. Screening of Luther Tuesday, Oct. 13 starts at 7 p.m., back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission at the door is $9, for Film Club members $8, and for seniors (65+) and students $6 (HS and TRU).

Thursday. “Quite a few people got jobs on the spot,” Sure said. “It’s a really great success story and a great way to meet people.” Unfortunately Gibraltar Mine, Mount Polley, Finning, and Pinnacle Pellet were not represented at the fair this year because they are currently engaged in layoffs, Sure said. On the positive side the RCMP, Prince

George Correctional Institute and Tolko representatives, and others were able to talk about job openings in their particular industries. There are 18 job postings at the Prince George Regional Correctional Centre which close Oct. 30, said correctional officer Dan McDonald. Tolko currently has 38 openings available in its B.C. and Alberta milling and woodland

operations, said David Greenley, Tolko’s regional forester, silviculture. He said Tolko always has openings at its High Level plant north of Edmonton. Throngs of adults and students of all ages visited the job fair that featured the theme Celebrating Community Partnership. More than 40 exhibitors including employers, training and education provid-

Stories: Everyone has one Okay, confession. One of the things I fear is the thought of letting people down. It’s one of those relics that has stayed with me from a time when I had very little control over my life. Growing up, I lived in an environment that was built on a lot of pain, so one of the ways I learned to cope was by presenting a picture of emotional wellness that was actually really far from reality. Just the possibility of being seen in someone’s eyes as less of a person was difficult, so whenever I found myself in a conversation with someone, I did so with a sort of glassy tension and a restrained laugh that was incredibly hollow. I’ve spent most of my life mentally editing conversations before they went LIVE. I would think of the next step, straining to keep this virtual reality version of myself public so the real me could be safe from everyone. I didn’t want to be found out as this broken insecure guy. Over the last few years I have been privileged to sit and eat with many friends, listening to their stories. It’s been amazing because I’ve realized that I’m not as alone as I thought.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council formally appointed William Wallace as the city’s new chief financial officer during its regular meeting Tuesday. Wallace moved to the lakecity from Houston, B.C. where he was working for the district the last two years. “William has a very strong background in the public sector and a very strong proactive side from the business sector,” said Coun. Scott Nelson as he welcomed Wallace. “I look forward to working with you through the next few years.” A chartered and certified public accountant, Wallace

Natural gas prices When it comes to buying natural gas, it’s nice to have a choice. Compare your options: fixed rates and terms offered by independent gas marketers or a variable rate offered by FortisBC. Customer Choice: it’s yours to make.

William Wallace worked as the CFO for Columbia Basin Trust and ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability USA, two positions he likened to the one he now holds at the city. Aside from working, Wallace likes to run, bike, curl, play soccer and Nordic ski. “I just recently became a director at the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club,” he

said. He also loves to sing and has joined Quintent Plus. “I like to get involved in things the community offers,” Wallace said, adding he certainly had some practice in Houston doing that. “When I got here I decided I wasn’t going to hang around waiting and thought if something came along that grabbed my attention I’d sign up.” Born in Australia, he grew up in Australia, Scotland and Canada. His family moved around often because his father was a doctor and medical researcher. Wallace began working with the city on Sept. 14.

Council narrowly denies land proposal Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In a split decision, city council narrowly denied a development variance permit application for a six-lot residential project on Woodland Drive. Local developer MacPine Ltd. and Va n c o u v e r - b a s e d property owner James Willson had asked for variances on road width, placement of hydro, cable and telephone cables, lighting and storm and sewer drainage. “This is a hard one,” said Coun. Sue Zacharias before she voted against the application during the regular meeting Tuesday. “I almost feel like we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t.” Zacharais said she is very much pro development and wants to see the city grow and expand, but she would rather see the city invest money to have the property developed to modern standards than make compromises and leave the taxpayers on the hook for the improvements in the future. Speaking in favour of the application, Coun. Scott Nelson said there is not much developable land inside Williams Lake. “At the end of the day we have a proposal for a significant investment in our community that’s going to be there for 50 or 100 years,” Nelson said. “I think as a council we need to find the compromises in today’s economy.” During the public comment period before council voted, electrical contractor Jamie MacKay said it was ludicrous to allow the road width to remain at its present six metres when modern standards require 11. “If we are going to have more development down Woodland aren’t we just cutting ourselves short here?” McKay asked, noting

he did not think the bylaws should be relaxed for six properties. Echoing MacKay, contractor Tyler Boucher said it is a critical issue. “It doesn’t make sense that we would be removing ourselves from the bylaws in place when there’s a good reason for them to be there,” Boucher said. The city received eight letters of support for the application and eight letters opposed. Mayor Walt Cobb along with councillors Nelson and Laurie Walters voted in favour while councillors

Ivan Bonnell, Jason Ryll amd Craig Smith joined Zacharias in being opposed. The day after the vote, Willson said he felt “totally handcuffed” by the decision. “It blows my mind. I have been doing development permits and rezoning for 30 years and never had an application rejected.” Willson said he purchased the property in 2007 from a church and had it rezoned for a 32-unit townhouse development. “At the time road widening and water never came up,” Willson said. “It went

ested in developing the property, said the director of development services Leah Hartley. “It has good ac-

cess and if the owner is interested we will continue to work with them to pursue other options,” Hartley said.

Fined $300 for taking sheep Allen Langston of Haney was found guilty in police court last Wednesday of a charge of taking mountain sheep during the closed season and was fined $300 and costs or two months in default by Magistrate C. H. Poston. The charge arose from an incident that occurred on or about September 25, 1955 on Jack Moon’s ranch, where one of the few bands of mountain sheep are protected by law.

At that time Langston accompanied Robert Enger of Oregon on an airplane trip to the Chilcotin. Subsequent to their return to the coast, Enger’s picture appeared in a Portland newspaper with an account of a hunt. The picture prompted Game Warden Frank Urquhart of Port Coquitlam to start investigations since the story mentioned the Williams Lake area and he knew there was no open season at the

time in this district. His initial investigation resulted in Enger being fined a total of $550 on charges that included hunting from an aircraft and exporting game. The investigation continued and meat from two sheep were recovered, one of the animals having been taken to Oregon the other to Haney. Although there were no witnesses to the actual killing

of the sheep, the Game Department produced witnesses who had seen the plane land at Deer Ranch and later the aircraft checked in at Dog Creek airport with the carcasses of the sheep. Langston was defended by Les Langley and the prosecution was handled by Inspector L.R. Lane of the Game Department. He entered a plea of not guilty. Williams Lake Tribune January 19, 1956

Customers, slug waitress, escape with $17 in cash Police are still on the lookout for two young men who entered the 112 Mile Coffee Shop Sunday afternoon, slugged the wife of the owner and escaped with 3517 in cash. According to Mrs. Len Krebs, she was alone in the coffee shop around 4 p.m. when the two young men came in and ordered a coke and a cup of coffee. When she turned to get cream for the customer, one of the men struck her on the head and knocked her unconscious. When she came to and discovered the open till she flagged down a passing motorist who relayed the information to the RCMP. The Williams Lake Tribune February, 2, 1956

Hail, hail, the gang’s all here

In 1950 Williams Lake got its first scheduled air connection with the coast. Most of the town, including the Rube Band hamming it up in the foreground, turned out for Canadian Pacific Airlines inaugural flight when it touched down at the old airport (now 9th and 10th Avenues north). In the background you can pick out, from left to right, John and Nora Anderson, Enid Poston, Pauline Mackenzie, Cecil Poston, Harold MacKay and Ralph Woodland among the crowd.

Part of the Cariboo Regional District’s Solid Waste Info Series: Becoming Waste Wise The garbage from Williams Lake and area, including 150 Mile House, Horsefly, Wildwood, McLeese, Frost Creek, Chimney Lake, Alexis Creek, and Riske Creek, is disposed of at the Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) Gibraltar Landfill. Two to four loads of waste are transported to the landfill in 53-foot walking floor trailers five days a week, each weighing approximately 19 tonnes. Annually there are between 12,000 and 13,000 tonnes of waste disposed of at the landfill. The landfill is fully engineered, meaning its base is lined with an impermeable plastic that collects any landfill leachate and diverts it to an on-site treatment system, consisting of an aeration pond, a settling pond, and three wetland systems. Once a section or phase of the landfill is completed it is closed and reclaimed by placing the same impermeable plastic liner over the top of the waste to prevent any infiltration of precipitation. The top is capped with soil and seeded with grasses.

Waste wise education is delivered to students in the Cariboo Regional District; however the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better.

Guests at Mt. Timothy Ski Area will have the option of riding a new tube park this season. Above is a look down one of three main runs constructed recently.

Tube park slides onto Mt. Timothy Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Snow seekers will have new thrills to experience this winter at Mt. Timothy Ski Area. Adam Piccolo, general manager of MTSA, said work is nearing completion on a new tube park at the hill, which will be ready to ride this season. “I was at a conference last spring put on by the Canada West Ski Association and I was listening to a speaker talk about tobogganing and how that introduces kids to snow and sliding,” Piccolo said. “That transfers into skiing and snowboarding but our policy, because of insurance, had always been no tobogganing. His talk got me thinking about it, but at the time we had no money to do anything.” That all changed this year when MTSA was awarded a $30,000 grant

It’s going to be a whole new experience for people... Hopefully it brings people to the mountain who normally wouldn’t and they’ll come up, have a look and see that it’s a nice mountain with an amazing day lodge.” - Adam Piccolo, general manager of Mt. Timothy Ski Area from the Northern Development Initiative Trust for the construction of a tube park. “They were really excited about [the project],” he said. “The people I’ve been working with are actually from Williams Lake originally and moved to Prince George for work. They’d all learned to ski at Mt. Timothy.”

After finding the right location, landscaping and removing all the brush, things are all coming together on the new tube park. “We’re using a handle tow the mountain already owned to get people up the hill and we’ve done a bunch of upgrades to it,” he said. The tube park is locat-

ed next to the current terrain park and mad platter lift and will offer three separate runs — all more than 800 feet in length. “The further you get away from the lift towards the day lodge, the less pitch there will be,” he said. “We’ll have more of an adult one that will be overly fast, and then a medium run and another

one more for kids who don’t want to go so fast.” An existing logging road to the tube park and mad platter lift has been cleaned up and a logging landing has been turned into a parking lot. Piccolo said the parking lot will also be a bonus for skiers and snowboarders who just want to ride the terrain park. “I think it’s going to be a whole new experience for people,” he said. “It looks really good right now. Hopefully it brings people to the mountain who normally wouldn’t and they’ll come up, have a look and see that it’s a nice mountain with an amazing day lodge.” The cost to ride the tube park will be $15 per person for two hours. Kids under five are free with the purchase of an adult tube park pass. For more on MTSA visit www.skitimothy. com.

Registration is currently underway for the season, which begins Oct. 14. “We play two nights a week — league games every Wednesday and scrimmage on Fridays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Columneetza gym both nights,” said league president Martin Kruus.

Bull Mountain motorcycle trails established Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The dream of having an established trail network became a reality this summer for the Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association. While also recently partnering with the Williams Lake Cycling Club to share some of the singletrack trails on the South Lakeside network a new, official project at Bull Mountain is nearing completion. “We’re lagging behind what the mountain bike guys have done with their trail networks,” said WLORMA treasurer Mike Lynnes of the WLCC’s success. “They’ve been excellent to work with.” He credited WLORMA director Steve Maas for his work managing the South Lakeside project. After receiving funding from the National Trails Coalition and the B.C. Off Road Motorcycle Association through federal and provincial grants, work

While some of the trails already existed, being able to operate and maintain the trails under Recreation Sites and Trails BC allows for a more organized and sustainable riding experience in the dirtbiking community. The WLORMA, in-

cluding president and project manager Matt Watts, worked with RSTBC recreation officer Desi Cheverie in finalizing the project. “We’ve now got a staging area, we’ll have an outhouse going in there, and there will be a kiosk with mapping and signage,” Lynnes said. “We’ve been riding in there for quite a number

of years but now we’ve got it established.” The main loop is close to 40 kilometres of motorcycle singletrack and can be ridden by all levels of riders. Then, there is another 20 to 30 kilometres of unmapped trails available for riding. BCORMA executive director Peter Sprague, who recently moved to Williams Lake, said the new staging area will be a great way to bring the riding community together. “Instead of people going rogue everywhere the purpose is to bring people together and do this properly,” Sprague said. “We’re inviting people to come out and ride and continue their support.” The WLORMA also worked closely with the recreation ministry, the Soda Creek Indian Band and other stake holders in determining

any problem or sensitive areas of concern on the trail network the SCIB had concerns with and has corrected them by either building bridges and corduroy or re-routing the trail. Volunteer hours have also been extensive on the project from members of the WLORMA. “For every 50 contractor hours, I’d say 150 volunteer hours were put in to keep this project going,” Lynnes said. Lynnes extended an invitation to anyone who wants to get involved with the WLORMA to visit its website at www. wlorma.ca. “Next spring I think it’s time to resurrect the Dirty Knobby and maybe do a grand opening type thing [at Bull Mountain],” he said. The BCORMA also has a website with trail passes available at www. bcorma.ca.

Obituaries

Eric Windover Robinson (July 27, 1921 - October 1, 2015)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Eric on October 1st at the age of 94 years. He spent his last five months in care at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Gateby’s Pathway to Home, and his final month at Hospice House. During this time he was very impressed by the care he received from compassionate staff and volunteers. He was predeceased by his parents Winnifred and Thomas, brother Ray (Madge), wife Barbara (April 2015), and sister-in-law Jean Gill (June 2015). He leaves behind his daughters Kathy (Dennis) Cotter, Jean (Mike) Haug; grand daughters Shelly (Tyler) Cull, Janice (Ger) Larson, Corinne (Mike) Litchfield, and Karin Haug; Great grand children Karlee, Hailey, MacKenzie, and Tanner; niece Lynda (Brian) Jones and nephew Colin Robinson. He will be sadly missed by all. Born in Armstrong BC, Eric had a wonderful childhood growing up in Britannia Beach where his father worked for Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. After his formal schooling he attended UBC (1939-44) and received a Bachelor of Commerce Degree followed by a Forestry Degree. He started his career with the BC Forest Service in Victoria and soon after transferred to Kamloops where he met Barb Harris and they were married and settled in Prince George in 1947. Of all his accomplishments he would say that marrying Barb (Mom) was the most important thing he ever did! Eric spent 35 years with the BC Forest Service retiring in

1979 in Williams Lake where he was the District Forester. During his career he worked in Kamloops, Prince George, Nelson, the Forest Service Training School in Surrey, then to Victoria to be head of the Reforestation Division prior to his posting in Williams Lake. In 2010 they moved to Vernon to be closer to family and their summer home “Barberic Beach” on Okanagan Lake. He felt very fortunate to have made many lasting friendships with Forestry staff and neighbours over the years. Eric served as President of the Association of BC Forest Professionals (RPF #40) in 1962 and served on the council for many years. He played basketball and softball in his younger days and was an avid curler and golfer. In his later years he enjoyed watching these sports on TV. A private family internment of both Eric’s and Barb’s ashes will be held in the Spring. The family would like to thank the staffs of 3W at VJH, Gateby Pathways, and especially Hospice House for taking such wonderful care of our special Dad, Grampa, Uncle, and friend, as well as all of us. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Eric’s name to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 - 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to: Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd. 5605 - 27 Street, Vernon, BC V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187
