One in five B.C. kids living in poverty

Volunteers help Yuletide Dinner run smoothly Continued From Page A1 Dozens of volunteers were on hand to serve food, wash dishes and clean tables to make the event a special evening for everyone. “It’s been a real team effort,” said Darla Robson, a member of St. Vincent de Paul and one of the main organizers of the event along with the CCCDC’s Vanessa Riplinger. The church was approached by Riplinger to take on the project about four weeks ago, after the Ramada successfully

hosted the event for the past 17 years. “We said we would do it at the beginning of November and it’s been hair straight back ever since.” Robson said the event wouldn’t have happened without the extra effort by many churches, businesses and individuals who baked desserts and made stockings. She added that the CCCDC provided all the funding for food and gifts and encourages everyone to donate to the organization so they can continue their good deeds.

We hear much about bowel cancer in the media lately. Those in the under 50 age group often don’t pay too much attention to this information because somehow bowel cancer is thought of as “an old person’s disease”. Bowel cancer can affect about 20% of people under 50. So if you have abdominal pain, blood in your stools or notice a change in your bowel habits, see your doctor. As of January 2016, Health Canada is introducing changes in the labeling of homeopathic “nosodes”. These are being sold as an alternative to vaccinations. There is no evidence they work to protect against diseases and in fact will make children more susceptible to disease if they are not being vaccinated. Speaking of vaccinations, measles is starting to rear its head again. Stats Canada reported that 89% of 2-year olds had received the recommended number of immunizations against measles, mumps and rubella in 2013. For best protection of Canadians, this number should be 95% to prevent any outbreaks from occurring. Ensure your children receive all the recommended vaccinations. The words “herd immunity” describe the ideal number of individuals in a given population who have immunity through vaccination or previous exposure to confer protection to those who aren’t immunized. This herd immunity will prevent a contagious bacteria or virus from setting up a chain of infection. If you have any questions about immunization, check with our pharmacists. We have the reliable information to keep you well-informed.

A report by the First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition released in November found that 20.4 per cent of children in B.C. live in poverty. This translates to one in five, B.C. children living in poverty, which is higher than the Canadian average of 19 per cent, the report says. First Call used Statistics Canada’s measurement of aftertax income to break down the poverty line based on the number of parents and children in a family. One adult with one child: $24,319 One adult with two children: $29,531 One adult with three children: $33,005 Two adults with one child: $29,531 Two adults with two children: $34,742 Two adults with three children: $39,953 The 2015 BC Child Poverty Report Card was prepared by the

First Call Coalition with the help of the Social Planning and Research Council of BC (SPARC BC) using 2013 statistics, the most recent data available. A separate report from Canadian Feed the Children indicates that in 2014, 36.9 per cent of food bank users in Canada were children under the age of 18, although they make up only 21 per cent of the population. The report also indicates that the Aboriginal population carries a disproportionate burden of nutrition-related illness, including nutritional deficiencies, childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Food insecurity for Aboriginal children (and adults) living on and off-reserve ranges from 21 per cent to 83 per cent, compared to three per cent to nine per cent for non-Aboriginal Canadians, the report says.

The Masquerade Ball for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital held Saturday night at the Sacred Heart Hall was an overwhelming success, says Rick Nelson, co-chair of the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust. While total figures won’t be known until all the costs have been

accounted for, he says they can comfortably report that the event raised $60,000 this year. “A major thanks to all members of the community who so generously supported our fundraiser,” Nelson says. “We had so many donations for the auction that we had to set up extra tables.” There were 131 items donated for the silent

auction and eight large items donated for the live auction. Once again, he says Woodland Jewellers sold all 600 tickets on their annual hospital ring raffle to raise $12,000 of the $60,000 total, Nelson says. Jeremy Schmid won the $6,500 ring, the draw for which was made during the gala. Nelson says people also bid well on the auction items with the signed picture of Bobby Ore by Stephen Holland fetching $5,500; the signed Carey Price jersey raising $325; the air fare and week in New Zealand bringing in $5,500; a photograph of a bear by Dave Jacobson capturing $1,000; and a three night stay at a condo in Whistler capturing another

$1,100. All 230, $100-a-plate tickets to the hospital gala were sold out well in advance, with a waiting list. “A great big thank-you to the community,” Nelson says. “We were overwhelmed with the response for the gala. Now we have enough money to purchase the new, state-of-the-art portable ultrasound machine for the emergency room.” Nelson says the new ultra-sound machine will cost approximately $125,000. He adds the new digital mammography machine which last year’s hospital gala helped to complete several years of fundraising for is expected to be in place at the hospital “very early” in the new year.

by raising the fee structure as high as $5,000 landlords would be made accountable, but learned that would require legislative changes and all the city could do was justify the costs. “We had to be able to justify the costs of the RCMP and the bylaw staff of having

to go back to some of these houses,” Cobb said. “The fee structure we have is the highest we were permitted.” Noise and or nuisance subject to the fines as defined in the bylaw is that which is beyond a normal disturbance of quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment

comfort or convenience of any persons or persons in a neighborhood or vicinity of that place as to be determined by the attending bylaw officer or RCMP officer. The first offence is a warning only. For the second and subsequent offences, the fine is $1,080 and each

offence afterwards is another $270. “That $1,080 is an accumulation of the first few times they go to a residence,” Cobb explained. “The landlords will get the bills and if they don’t pay it will go on their taxes. They will have to start being responsible for who their tenants are.”

RCMP look for new information in Walton disappearance Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Six years after Tyler Walton’s disappearance his family is still hoping someone might come forward with information to help solve the case. “If there is someone out there who knows something please come forward,” Tyler’s father Ken Walton said, adding he is still offering a $25,000 reward for any information. “Every day goes by and we still don’t know what happened,” Walton said. “Having to live your life like

Ken Walton that with no closure isn’t nice. I’m living with cancer and don’t know how long I will be around.” Walton was last seen

on Nov. 10, 2009 and was reported missing by his family on Nov. 18. He was 24 years old at the time. “Tyler wasn’t the type of person to just leave town and not tell anyone,” said Corp. Jason Pole of the Williams Lake RCMP general investigation section. “If anyone has information that could help us build a timeline past midnight on Nov. 13 that would be really valuable to us.” The police don’t believe Tyler took his own life, harmed himself in any way or

intentionally left Williams Lake, Pole added. Walton was involved with the drug trade, which presents a possibility that his disappearance is related in some way to a dispute but police don’t have any direct evidence to say that’s the case, Pole added. “We’re not seeing anything that screams that,” Pole said. “On the flip side he was known to take hikes at the drop of a hat and the possibility is there that he’s gone hiking and succumbed to an injury or something

out there.” Pole encouraged everybody and anyone who may have information go to the police and let them judge the value of the information. “People tend to selfvalue that information and really without the entire picture you don’t know where it fits in,” he added. The police have also created a new Crimestoppers piece to remind the public about the case which will be aired soon, Pole said, noting anyone with information that might help

is asked to contact him at 250-392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

City council is hoping an increase in the city’s fines for noise and nuisance calls to as high as $1,080 will help solve a chronic problem in Williams Lake. “The police are called to drug houses

Season of giving underway It certainly is the season of giving in Williams Lake. Residents and businesses have outdone themselves again this year with many charitable events taking place. Saturday evening saw a sold out crowd attend the Masquerade Ball hosted by the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust where more than $60,000 was raised for the purchasing of new equipment at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Hats off to the hard-working directors and also to Woodland Jewellers, who provided a custommade ring worth $6,500 for raffle. On Wednesday evening, more than 500 guests were treated to a lovely Christmas dinner thanks to the efforts of the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre who partnered with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Brice O’Neill of the New World Café. Together, and along with countless volunteers and businesses, the

partnership was an obvious success. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church Hall, where the event took place, was filled with the sound of music as community leaders, including Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb and Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron, served food to smiling guests. As well as food, children who came to the event were given handmade stockings filled with thoughtful gifts for boys and girls. Even Santa Claus made an appearance at the 18th Annual Yuletide Dinner and was a popular guest with the youngsters. Next up in the season of giving is the Hub International Barton Seniors Dinner Dec. 13 at the Elk’s Hall and the Ramada Christmas Wish Breakfast, hosted by the CCCDC, on Dec. 15. We hope the community continues their generosity throughout the holiday season. - Williams Lake Tribune

Darla Robson and Brice O’Neill are all smiles in the kitchen and thrilled with the outcome of their combined efforts during the 18th annual Yuletide Dinner.

Christmas meals not just about the turkey feast When you are thinking about cooking for Christmas day, remember the day is not just about the big meal of the day with a large turkey and all the trimmings. It is nice on the Dec. 25 if you can have three nice meals to help with the celebrations of the day and of course one needs to eat some food to recover from all the energy exerted by opening presents. A good start to the day could be some fresh fruits to enjoy before breakfast while enjoying a nice cup of hot chocolate. Waffles or pancakes with some nice maple syrup are often a hit for a Christmas breakfast. Porridge with a little brown sugar may also fit into this part

of your early meal. Some folks would like to have a nice scrambled egg dish with vegetables and perhaps some ham or bacon along with toast for a tasty treat in the morning. Lunch should be filling but not too much, or you might not

be able to eat a good helping of the feast at dinner time. There are a gazillion different ways to make salads and one of your favourites that is easy to make would probably hit the spot. A nice warm soup that would please your lunch crew is another idea to satisfy the taste buds. Soups are like salads. There are so many ways they can be prepared. I recently make a soup from a butternut squash that I think you would like for a lunch treat. I have never made this soup before and frankly would not have thought about making soup from a butternut squash. I was quite surprised with the pleasant taste. It made my taste

buds do a little ‘food’ dance. Butternut Squash Soup • 1 medium sized sweet onion, diced • 3 tbsp butter • 4 cups of butternut squash, peeled and cut into small cubes • 3 cups chicken broth • 1 tsp dried tarragon • Ground salt and pepper to taste Melt butter in a large saucepan and add the onion and cook until they are tender. Add the butternut squash, chicken stock, salt and pepper, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the squash is tender. You can break the squash with a whisk and then using an

immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. At this point you could add in about one half cup of halfand-half cream. I did not and it was still good but a little cream might make the dish a little smoother. Season with tarragon. Then taste to determine whether you need more pepper or salt. Some nice bread or buns would go well with this dish. Try this one for your lunch. It’s not too early to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy festive season with good food and good friends. Bye for now and Goood Cooking. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.

Inconvenient truths of climate change Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak have joined the thousands of jet-setters in Paris to once again stage negotiations for a global climate treaty. The embarrassing failures of these United Nations events, such as the one in Lima, Peru last year, have been forgotten. Canadian TV only showed file images of an effigy of Stephen Harper receiving a “fossil of the day” award for his alleged failure to rein in Canada’s two per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Now Justin Trudeau leads our biggest-ever delegation to COP21, as the Paris meeting is called. Trudeau hasn’t even begun to develop a plan for Canada, asking provinces to come up with their own first, but he’s already hailed as a visionary. This is similar to the newly elected Barack Obama, who modestly predicted in 2008 that history would record his win as “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” Perhaps Obama wasn’t completely full of CO2, since in this century, global temperatures have increased by only about a fourth of what UN climate models predicted. This 20-year slowdown of the long run of post-Ice Age warming, which has dominated most of the last 10,000 years, is referred to as the “pause” or “hiatus.” It is usually explained away with reference to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or other long-term warming and cooling trends in oceans. Other countries have put new

B.C. Views

emission reduction proposals on the table for COP21. Danish environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg did the math, and concluded that if every major emitting country keeps its word this time, the total of all their efforts would reduce global warming by about 0.2 degrees by 2100. What? A statistically meaningless decrease after 85 years of energy austerity? That Lomborg, he’s just a “denier,” trying to get more publicity. Oh wait, here’s a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that finds the same thing — two tenths of a degree by 2100. Wobbly climate models aren’t the only problem for global warming alarmists. NASA recently confirmed that contrary to UN projections, total ice mass in Antarctica is increasing. This is much more likely to slow sea level rise than an Obama or Trudeau speech. Arctic ice, meanwhile, is rebounding rapidly after receding in recent years. And while UN climate conferences always cause a spike

in sightings of people wearing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth. B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports that the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high. That Crockford, she’s just a denier…. Oh wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature “Red List” says that’s about right, and the population trend is no longer “decreasing” but is now “unknown.” None of this is to deny that our climate is warming, or that

the Industrial Revolution and carbon fuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are troubling. B.C. already leads the country with its small but broadbased carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportunity in Paris. We won’t see the B.C. Liberal government’s final “Climate 2.0” plan until next spring, but their advisory committee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018.

Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact that they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold. And B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse gas target? The government admits we’re not going to make that, because the economy is growing.

Christmas in the country creates fond memories This is the time of year when we think about family traditions and happy stories around the magic of Christmas. Someone reminded us once that we should visit the barn on Christmas Eve “just in case” some marvelous happening was occurring in a manger. We never found a miracle, however, if someone in need appeared at the door, there would be room somewhere. A near miracle did happen once. Santa and his great gift sleigh

made an appearance. This is how it happened.

One of our sons was five at the time and very excited about Christmas. So excited, he wouldn’t go to sleep. Of course that delayed Santa putting gifts under the tree. Santa and his helpers hatched a plan. “Santa” would arrive; you could hear the sleigh bells faintly at first and get louder until they stopped on the barn roof, or some other precarious place. To be sure, the child was sleeping beside an open window. It is warm upstairs in a two-

storey log cabin with the woodheat full on. He heard the sleigh bells, jumped to his feet at the window to hear Santa say: “Ho, ho, ho. I hope all good little boys and girls are asleep here.” To which the child answered: “No Santa, my brother is asleep, and I’m just going.” Santa said: “I will be back later.” The bells rang and faded into the night sky, ”ho, ho, ho.” With that, he hit the pillow and went fast asleep. The parents got to go to sleep

early that evening, with the children asleep. Thereafter, word got out into the community and at the Big Lake School that Santa’s existence was affirmed. After all, the child had talked to Santa himself. David Zirnhelt is a member of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association and chair of the advisory committee for the Applied Sustainable Ranching program which is starting at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake this January.

With the arrival of the new engine, the old yellow truck has gone into retirement from Williams Lake and was sold through B.C. Bid and Engine 12 becomes the reserve truck for another five years. The next truck due to be replaced next year will be the 20 year old water tender that is primarily used for servicing areas the fire department attends within the Cariboo Regional District.

Tribune Food and Toy Drive The Salvation Army in Williams Lake is continuing to see a growing need to help families living in poverty. One of the ways people can help make Christmas brighter for those who are struggling this year is by supporting the Williams Lake Tribune’s 13th Annual Food and Toy Drive. The event is coming up Saturday, Dec. 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tribune/ Weekender Advisor office at 188 Second Avenue North. A total of 38 businesses have come together to provide gift certificates for those who make donations. Their generosity encourages people to support the food and toy drive which in turn helps out the Salvation Army Christmas Cheer program. People who make donations will also have their names placed in a draw box for the grand prize. This year there are three grand prizes in the draw. Pacific Coastal Airlines is donating round trip air fare for two to Vancouver. Canadian Tire is donating a waterproof heavy duty action camera. Allcraft Kitchen En’

Memory Tree event Sunday The 20th annual Memory Tree Celebration takes place Sunday, Dec. 6 at Williams Lake City Hall from 3 to 4:30 p.m. The Memory Tree celebration begins at 3 p.m. in the lobby at city hall with snacks and refreshments followed by choir performances, candle lighting, reading of the Memory Book and a moment of silence. The commemoration concludes with a community luminary service and the lighting of the Memory Tree outside city hall at 4:30 p.m.

Counters is donating a 30-inch sink vanity. Look for full details on the Tribune’s Food and Toy Drive in the Wednesday, Dec. 9 edition of The Tribune. “When it comes to supporting local charities the community of Williams Lake has always been so generous,” says publisher Kathy McLean. “We are hoping to exceed last year’s donations and make this toy and

food drive the largest yet.” The Salvation Army reports there are 266 applications for assistance this Christmas. The numbers include 385 adults and 273 children. Toys and gifts are being collected for 206 children under age 12 and 67 teenagers, ages 13 to 17. Salvation Army Capt. Isobel Lippers suggests that people purchase board

games; lego; craft and drawing items; and gift cards for sports, movies, and pool passes. “The most popular this year seems to be lego, video games and board games,” Isobel says. “For the food bank our most needed items are peanut butter; canned fruit and vegetables; canned pasta; Kraft dinner; chunky soup; and canned meats.”

A Week That Was…

a piece of history from the pages of The Williams Lake Tribune.

Roundup Members of the Downtown Merchants Association, the Chamber of Commerce, and the general public will be getting together Friday morning Dec. 5 to grouse about the upcoming tax increases which will hike commercial property taxes by a whopping 18 per cent. The discussion will take place at 10:30 a m, in the Chili Cabaret. Meanwhile, town council also voted on Tuesday evening to send a letter of protest to the provincial government on its handling of the tax assessment process. * * * While Williams Lake Drivers are being criticized by local police for lousy driving on snow and ice, Alexis Creek, Anahim Lake and Bella Coola drivers seem to be behaving better. According to police in those communities yesterday, there was only one major accident, recently, it involving an empty logging truck and a truck full of fertilizer in the Alexis Creek area. Anahim Lake had a Tuesday morning temperature of minus 40 degrees and hasn’t had a car accident in two weeks. Police there admit that, besides the fact there are fewer people, the severe cold is also keeping drivers off the roads in droves. * * * Engineers are being brought in from Vancouver to look over the Ketcham Pool and to do pressure test at critical points, in an attempt to locate the source of the leak which is shedding 100 gallons an hour says aquatic director George Coodwin. * * * “Remember it’s just a forecast,” said the weatherman as he noted the good looking outlook for the weekend coming up. Today we can expect mostly cloudy skies with a few snow flurries, highs to -12, but Friday and Saturday promises to be sunny with highs going up to -10. By Sunday it skill be cloudy again but considerably warmer with highs to -8. ~ This article is reprinted as it appeared in the December 4, 1980 edition of The Williams Lake Tribune.

Kiwanis auction to ease shopping Some of your Christmas shopping worries will be over if you hit it lucky this Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The big Kiwanis radio auction will raffle off more than 225 articles beginning at 7:20 p.m. on CKWL, each night. Perhaps you can win a turkey for that big Christmas spread -- there’s a 20-pounder among the merchandise, not to mention hams and grocery hampers. There are sweaters, watches, necklace and earrings sets, tools, records, vests, lawn and garden sprinklers, mattresses, beds, a leather handbag, and a transistor radio, to mention only a few items. Some different items include a free unit in a motel for two people or a room for two in a hotel for the weekend. Five local firms have banded together to donate a Ski-Doo to the Kiwanis club which once again is conducting its annual drive to raise funds for the senior citizens home. Chairman Tom White explains that last year they cleared $2500. “We’re hoping for $3500 this year”, he says. Because of the heavy list of donations, the auction has been extended to three nights this year rather than the usual two. The date has also been changed from the early spring to December because it fits in with the Rotary auction staged in Quesnel. “This way the radio station can broadcast for the two auctions at the same time”, he explains. Also on the committee with White are Bill. Shearer and Steve Suetta. The auction will be broadcast from the Recreation Hall. A battery of telephones will installed to handle the hundreds of incoming calls and a fleet of cars and drivers will look after the sales. So get your telephone, your radio and and your cheque book ready and get yourself some, bargains.

Caution! Sand trucks at work. And… snow removal around town. ~ Reprinted 1980 Tribune photo

Receiving a Testimonial of Appreciated presented to The Tribune from Kiwanis Club president Reg Norberg left, is Tribune publisher Clive Stangoe. The presentation was made “in appreciation of accurate, comprehensive reporting of news, for generous and unremitting support of community activities for fostering patriotism, for fearless and independent editorial opinion…”. On the right is another Kiwanis member Frank Blunden. ~ Reprinted 1967 Tribune photo

With this recent blast of winter some families are planning winter vacations. Some go to warmer locations and sit and relax in the sunshine, while others enjoy the variety of experiences that a cruise in those southern regions can bring. I recently heard about a poor man who dreamed all of his life of going on a cruise aboard a luxurious ocean liner. One day he decided to start saving every bit of cash that he could. Sacrificing his personal needs, he saved every spare penny to see his dream realized. Finally the day came when he walked briskly into the travel agency to arrange for his one week cruise of a lifetime. It would only be a few short days before his journey of a lifetime began. Thinking that he could not afford the elegant food pictured in the brochure, he brought aboard two dozen peanut butter sandwiches along with other snack food. He wanted to make sure he had enough food with him to see him through the 7 days. The first few days were thrilling. He ate his sandwiches alone in his room and spent the rest of the day relishing the sunshine and fresh air and taking in all the beautiful sights along the way.

pictures what happens in so many people’s lives. Some people hear the great news that Jesus offers us hope and blessings, but are content to munch away on the stale scraps of our own plans and efforts. I am so glad that the Bible brings us the Good News, that everything you and I could ever want or need is included in the cost of admission. Jesus paid our way to Heaven by willingly dying for us. He did for us what we could never have done for PARSONS PEN ourselves. He, the just One, died BY JOHN NICOLSON for us, the unjust, that we would have free access to everything By mid-week he began noticing we ever needed. Our part is to that he was the only person believe in Him, receiving His aboard who wasn’t eating the free gift of forgiveness, and then delicious meals. His sandwiches gladly choosing to follow Him. had become so stale that he One verse says it so well, could hardly choke down “In God’s great mercy He another one.

For 30 years Dennis Hill has viewed the city from its rooftops. Hill owns Cariboo Roofing Inc. and said his job provides him with a great life and a unique way to look at the world. “You have to be cut out for it, it’s not for everyone,” he said during an interview at his home office on South Broadway Avenue. Hill moved to Williams Lake from Vancouver Island with his parents in 1968. After graduation in 1975, he needed a job and started roofing. He loved it immediately, eventually started his own business and has looked back fondly ever since. “Thirty years later

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Dennis Hill of Cariboo Roofing Inc. in Williams Lake recently celebrated 30 years in business. I find I’m returning to do roofs that I did when I was just starting out.” Roofing is easier today than it was in the days when you packed everything up a ladder on your back, he said. And today’s synthetic shingles have warranties that people

can expect to last. During the winter, roofing contracts slow down, so Hill finds himself doing snow removal on rooftops for people who have an excessive build up of snow that really should be addressed by a roofer. Presently, he is a

one-man show with his business. In fact his motto is “where the boss does the job.” This winter he is going to try to find a newly certified roofer to possibly become a partner, he said, noting becoming a roofer involves a three-year apprenticeship program. Hill is a slight and agile guy and said truthfully when it comes to heights he would be classified as someone who is afraid of them. Despite the fears, he’s never been worried or scared and when it comes to the heat, he’s learned not to think about it. When he is not roofing, he bikes everywhere, boats, listens to music and reads.

He’s also a poet and spends a lot of time writing poetry. “Many a poem comes to life on a roof where your mind can paint a picture for you,” he said. While he hasn’t taken the time yet to count exactly how many roofs he’s done through the 30 years, he has a filing cabinet containing that information. “One day I’ll go through and count, but it’s in the hundreds I’m sure.” Hill regularly send thank you letters to each customer and has learned it’s a nice touch that people enjoy. “I’m fair and honest and do a good job,” he said. “I think that sums up Cariboo Roofing.”

Williams Lake woman waiting for liver transplant Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Kim Case of Williams Lake is one of 36 people in B.C. waiting for a liver transplant. “When I went on the donor list in February I was told it would be a six month to a year wait,” the 36 year old said. “It has been 11 months.” Kim was diagnosed in 2010 with Chronic Autoimmune Active Hepatitis, a rare liver disease where the body’s own immune system attacks the liver. It is not

contagious. “At first I was worried I had Hep C, B or HIV Aids because I was a medic and had interaction with blood, but all the tests came back clean,” Kim said. It is evident she has nurtured a positive attitude. “Once I decided to accept this journey it has given me the patience I need as I wait for a call that I have a donor,” she said, adding her dad Joseph Case is waiting for a kidney transplant. Kim is from Tsi Del Del (Redstone), but has been living at the Friendship Society’s shelter because she needs to be within half an hour from a hospital. “I also go to ambulatory care at the hospital on Mondays and

Fridays for albumin infusions through my PICC line,” Kim said during an interview at her apartment. “I spend four hours there each time.” Before she was diagnosed she began feeling nauseous. She lost her appetite to food and drink, was pale and had jaundiced eyes. “It happened so fast and I was in and out of the hospital,” she said. “When my liver almost failed I had to be looked at by specialists at Vancouver General Hospital.” Eventually a specialist from VGH came to Williams Lake to work with Kim and determined albumin protein would help her regain some health. The albumin has re-

she has an appointment at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Healthy Centre at VGH because she is on the transplant waiting list. Kim said there are many people helping her out, including her mom who will travel to Vancouver with her for the transplant. “We are trying to raise money for the three months rent will have to pay when that transplant happens,” Kim said. Kim also hopes more people will consider signing on as donors. According to the BC Transplant society so far in 2015, 64 people have had a liver transplant. Sometimes a healthy person can donate part of a liver because a healthy liver can regenerate most of its own cells, she said.

Applied sustainable ranching program launched in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The launch of TRU Williams Lake’s Applied Sustainable Ranching Program in 2015 is timely, said Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon as the community gathered at the Tourism Discovery Centre Tuesday to celebrate the new program. “It’s the International Year of Soils,” Guichon said. Crediting several people for the hard work that has gone into developing the program, Guichon suggested sustainable ranching as operating on the land in such a way as to keep a farm or ranch supporting families for many generations. “It is about stewarding the land and harvesting sunshine, the most renewable resource on earth, by converting that energy into a valuable product for human consumption.” Welcoming Guichon and other special guests to the Cariboo, Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said it was an honour to have the Lieutenant Governor visiting the community, knowing she had also visited some local schools. Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said ever since she was elected, she has been fighting to bring courses to TRU in Williams Lake. “The Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson has a soft spot for this university,”

TRU Grit members Mark Nairn (left) and Brian Garland (right) present Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon with a wooden bench made by Pioneer Log Homes during the official launch of TRU’s Applied Sustainable Ranching Program Tuesday in Williams Lake. Barnett said. “In June he came and said there was [$154,000] funding available and the agriculture course could move forward.” Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson, who is chair of the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition announced $100,000 in support for the program because it meets all of the coalition’s requirements for funding. “We believe that ranching needs to be maximally contributing to our local economy and this program will enable that,” Simpson said. Father and son ranchers Grant and Cuyler Huffman shared their enthusiasm saying the ranching community in the area will benefit greatly from the program. “I expect a renewed vitality to our local cattle-

men,” said Cuyler, who is presently the president of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association. “There will be learning opportunities for long time ranchers, even old guys and young guys, who may be looking to expand their knowledge in certain areas.” Grant said there are lots of opportunities in the re-

gion and the program will help the ranching community realize them. The idea to use the university to promote what’s relevant to the community and the land emerged more than a decade ago during public meetings, said Tom Dickinson, TRU Dean of Science. “People who take this program will have access

to an absolutely phenomenal curriculum that puts industry needs and people’s needs and the environment’s needs all at the front and centre,” Dickinson said. Last Friday Dickinson and the program’s manager Gillian Watt secured an agreement with Olds College in Alberta that graduates from the TRU program can transfer into the degree program in Agribusiness at Olds. “The next step will be to bring the Olds program to here,” Dickinson said. Executive director Ray Sanders, who has been with TRU Williams Lake since 2010, said the new program is well-suited to TRU Williams Lake. “We want to be sure we

build programs so that people can stay here and make sure we are able to add value back into the lives of people and industry that are here,” he said. TRU Grit, the Williams Lake group that supports the university and fundraises to provide bursaries and scholarships, in support of the launch of the agriculture program, announced six new $2,000 scholarships for full-time students or $1,000 for part-time students with a cut off application date of Jan. 8, 2016. Registration for the program is now open. Interested students are asked to contact Rita Giesbrecht at 250-7065577 or rgiesbrecht@tru. ca.

Williams Lake Stampeders forward Tyrel Lucas fires a shot on Terrace River Kings’ goaltender Patrick Leal in a 6-2 win Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Stampeders extend lead in CIHL Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders marched away with two home wins during the weekend squaring off against the top two teams in the Central Interior Hockey League West Division. The East Division-leading Stampeders improved to nine wins and two losses on the campaign after a 6-4 win Saturday against the Prince Rupert Rampage, followed by a 6-2 triumph Sunday afternoon versus last year’s CIHL champions, the Terrace River Kings. On Saturday, Justin Foote made 26 saves and Kaleb Boyle scored twice in the edging of Prince Rupert. Nathan Zurak (1G, 1A), Jassi Sangha (1G, 1A), Francis Johnson (1G) and Dylan Richardson (1G) also tallied in the victory. The following afternoon, after both teams got off to a slow start in a 1-1 stalemate after the first period with goals from Williams Lake’s Caleb Roy and Terrace’s Chapen Leblond, the game opened up in the second period. David Gore, Boyle and Sangha each lit the lamp in the sec-

ond, while Leblond added his second for the River Kings, giving Williams Lake a 4-2 lead heading into the final frame. Williams Lake added two more tallies from Matt Stang and Andrew Fisher, while Foote stopped 26 of 28 shots in the winning effort. Also on Saturday, the Stampeders hosted a toque, mitten and sock toss in support of the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District. Any fan who brought an item was also entered into a draw for a signed Carey Price jersey and a Stampeders prize pack. Following the Stamps first goal, fans threw their toques, mittens and socks onto the ice. It was later announced to a happy Lynne Boxeur she was the recipient of the signed Carey Price Team Canada jersey and the Stamps prize pack. With the back-to-back wins on the weekend Williams Lake now sits six points ahead of the River Kings for first place in the CIHL and seven points ahead of the Quesnel Kangaroos in the East Division. On Friday, Williams Lake travels south to face the 0-9 Lac La Hache Tomahawks, be-

TIPS FROM THE CRD

Christmas Tree Safety

As you deck the halls this holiday season, be fire smart. A small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can grow large very quickly.

PICKING THE TREE

•

Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.

PLACING THE TREE

• • • •

Before placing the tree in the stand, cut 1–2” from the base of the trunk. Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit. Add water to the tree stand. Be sure to add water daily.

LIGHTING THE TREE

• •

Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Connect no more than three strands of mini string sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs. Read manufacturer’s instructions for number of LED strands to connect. Never use lit candles to decorate the tree. Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.

AFTER CHRISTMAS

Get rid of the tree after Christmas or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home. Check with your local community to find a recycling program. Bring outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to prevent hazards and make them last longer. Sponsored by

building communities together

children and youth living in adversity. Right To Play’s Promoting Life-skills in Aboriginal Youth (PLAY) program started two months ago in B.C., with a $3 million gift from Microsoft

YouthSpark. The goal is to reach 3,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) children and youth across the province, over three years. Wycotte and other community mentors in the province receive special training to facilitate the program, which employs local community members to work with kids. After just two months in the Right To Play program, “the kids actually ask to do their homework,” says Wycotte.

Program teaches positivity through sport Continued From Page B2 A typical day with Wycotte includes a light snack for the kids, followed by fun, active games that require teamwork and collaboration. In “snail race,” two teams sit on the ground in lines. Each child reaches back and holds the ankles of the child behind her. They “bum-skootch” around cones, each team competing to reach the finish line. The game requires teamwork, with communication about how to reach a common goal, under physically complicated circumstances. It’s silly — but that’s the point. The kids have a great time and learn life skills in the process. Later in the day, it’s basketball, badminton or soccer, along with Right To Playdesigned games that subtly teach positive life-lessons. As the games end, the kids are ready to focus on homework. That’s where Wycotte has seen the biggest changes. “After just two months in the program, the kids actually ask to do their homework,” she says. The younger kids thrive on the encouragement she gives for completing their schoolwork, and the fact that the older kids tutor and encourage them. She also thinks the afternoon’s games get children in the right state of mind to keep learning. Before getting her Right To Play training, Wycotte says she was lucky to have six or seven kids regularly show up for afterschool programs. Today she typically has more than 25. The program is already near its goal of signing up close to 100 children who live in Williams Lake. These are exactly the kinds of

results Microsoft President Brad Smith and others at the company hoped to see when Microsoft helped facilitate Right To Play’s expansion into 24 First Nations communities in B.C. “British Columbia has become a second home for Microsoft, and we’re committed to the future of this community, its economy, and especially its young people,” Smith said recently in a Right To Play news release. “Right To Play gives First Nation, Inuit and Métis youth the opportunity to learn and grow, through sport and play. This is a mission Microsoft is eager to support.” First Nation, Inuit and Métis youth face

challenges in B.C., including a much higher than average high school dropout rate. Right To Play is the perfect organization to address this, Smith adds, because they already run successful PLAY programs in Ontario and Manitoba. “I used to have to come up with programs for the kids on my own,” Deserae says, explaining why the training she received from Right To Play is having such an impact. “Now the programs we run help kids learn while they’re having fun – and learn in a way that sticks with them.” Thanks to terrific community mentors, and a tremendous international nonprofit,

After school program co-ordinator Deserae Wycotte has added a new job to her list of responsibilities: community mentor with a new program called Right to Play. it’s great to see kids in British Columbia have that opportunity — and

to develop, as Deserae calls it, “a hunger for learning.”

PLAN NUMBER 1-2-665 DESIGNED FOR A SLOPED LOT This two-bedroom home, designed for a lot that slopes to the back, appears compact from the outside, but contains all the amenities any home-owner could wish for. And since the plans include an unfinished basement, there will be lots of room for expansion. Beyond the covered porch, always a boon in bad weather is the foyer, with a coat closet ahead and to the right. Directly ahead is the great-room, with a gas fireplace to ensure cosy evenings during the cooler months. Generous windows overlook a covered deck. Ceilings in the great room and the foyer measure 11 feet high, while the rest of the ground-floor ceilings are nine feet. Also overlooking the back garden, with a doorway to the covered deck, is the
