City Of Williams Lake Dear Resident

There will be some changes coming to the day in which your solid waste and recycling is collected. Due to statutory holidays and the operational requirements of the City of Williams Lake and its solid waste contractor, the need to change your collection day will change when a statutory holiday is observed during the collection week. This is how the City plans to change your collection day for those weeks: If your collection day falls on a statutory holiday, the collection of your solid waste and recycling will not happen that day. Instead the collection day for the entire week will move ahead by one day. For example, if Monday is the statutory holiday, Monday’s collection day will move to Tuesday, Tuesday’s collection day will move to Wednesday, Wednesday’s collection day will move to Thursday, Thursday’s collection day will move to Friday. This change will only be for the week in which the statutory holiday occurred in. Collection days will return to normal the following week. Included with this flyer is next year’s solid waste and recycling collection schedule including statutory

holidays. The calendar has been color coded for ease • Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the of use. same day as it is collected. • Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbors.

No charges recommended against Mount Polley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer An investigation by the Chief Inspector of Mines is not recommending charges against Mount Polley Mine for the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach. “During our 15-month investigation into the breach we found no non-compliance with mines act permits or

regulations,” said Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman Thursday during a media conference. “Although there were poor practices by the company there were no offences we could find.” Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said a series of dominoes led to the failure. “The unstable and unknown glaco-lacustrine level underneath

the dam, the over steep slopes, lack of beaches inside the tailings impoundment, too much water and excavation outside the mine left there for eight months all led to the failure,” Bennett said. There is still an ongoing investigation by the Conservation Officer Service and there may be the possibility of prosecution there, both

Hoffman and Bennett said. When asked how he felt about the event happening under his watch, Hoffman said it was the most difficult thing he has dealt with. “Now I feel very strongly that we have recommendations going forward that we can to a large extent prevent this from happening again,” Hoffman said.

Bennett said in the report there are incidents of ministry of energy and mines staff asking all the right questions and the engineer of record responding that everything was OK. “The accident at Mount Polley is an anomaly and not what ordinarily happens in B.C.” Bennett said. “I think there is a real need now that we are

responding to examine how much we rely on best practices and guidelines that are established outside the regulator’s domain.” There has to be more of a cushion in terms of the level of risk as there was when the “terrible and inexcusable accident happened,” he added. The report is recommending all mines with TSFs be required to

have a designated mine dam safety manager and a designated individual to oversee the mine’s water balance and water management plan. Mines with TSFs will be required to have water management plans designed by a qualified professional and an independent technical review board will be required for all mines with TSFs.

City joins Cripps in recognizing heroic effort Continued From Page A1 Suddenly the vehicle hit a curb and began slowing down. Custaloe then passed Cripps’ vehicle and pulled into a parking lot. He got out of his car thinking he’d be able to catch him, but Cripps passed him so he started running down Mackenzie and jumped on the running board. “His window was open so I could reach

in, and thank God it was automatic so I reached in and threw it into park.” At the regular city council meeting Tuesday, Custaloe was honoured by the Williams Lake RCMP and Mayor Walt Cobb who presented him with a certificate of recognition. “Thanks to his quick actions Brady was able to stop any further harm to anyone else,” Cst. Dan Cohen said. “Thank you Brady for

your bravery. This is a little certificate of our appreciation.” Custaloe’s mother Kathy Bizicki said since the rescue in October, her son and Cripps have become good friends. “They go for coffee and Brady often gives Wade rides when he needs them. It is a nice friendship for both of them,” Bizicki said. Custaloe works the graveyard shift at West Fraser Plywood plant as an auto strapper.

That afternoon he was taking his energetic dog Thor to stay with a friend so he could catch up on his sleep to do an extra 12hour shift that night. “I didn’t think twice, I just acted,” Custaloe said of his actions. “I am getting all this attention but I want people to know there was a young couple driving the other way that stopped and turned around to help as well. They were great.”

AN APPLE A DAY... With social media and the internet so prevalent today, there are many ways out there to entice you to part with your money. One example is the ad asking you to sends strands of your hair for metal testing. This is not a reliable way to diagnose heavy metals in the body. Blood tests are the only reliable way to determine metal toxicity. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned. The human papilloma virus (HPV) can cause cervical cancer in women. It can also cause oropharyngeal cancer (throat and mouth) in men and women. There is a vaccine that can go a long way to preventing these cancers and is recommended for girls and it is suggested that boys also receive this vaccine to prevent cancers of the mouth, throat and anus. Recommended age is 12 years. People who suffer from severe allergies can take heart. There is a new skin patch technology being researched that looks promising. It’s called epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT). It is hoped that it will work well with those with peanut allergies as well as dairy allergies. Research is ongoing. Wine often is part of holiday celebrations. Check the wine labels for “alcohol content”. It’s not uncommon to find wines with more than the usual 11-12% alcohol... even up to 14%. The same can be true of some beers too. Also, every drink doesn’t have to be alcohol. Try the mix only or a big glass of water. There are many remedies for alcohol overconsumption but the best is sensible consumption.

“We have had no consultation about this,” said Linda Hillegeist who has lived off and in an area locally known as Moore Mountain the last 40 years. “You cannot lock people into their homes. We are going to have to use a key to open and close the gate at the parking lot.” The city’s manager of municipal services Gary Muraca said the decision to close the road is because of safety concerns. “The road has washouts and amongst that we made the determination,” Muraca said. There was no room for public consultation because the city decided the road is unsafe, he added. In 2008 a geotechnical study determined there were stability issues at that time. Then in the spring of 2015 there were numerous washouts that made the road dangerous, Muraca said. “When you couple that with winter snow,

ice and large equipment, we didn’t feel comfortable maintaining the road in the winter. We decided we would do some reassessment in the spring and see if we can put some capital funding into the road to make it safer for everyone,” he added. Residents first became aware of the city’s intent to close the road last Friday when one of the residents noticed a small note at the bottom of the Moore Mountain Road, which is adjacent to the parking lot located in the river valley. “The note said to contact Gary Muraca at the city to arrange alternative access,” Hillegeist said. Since the note went up Hillegeist has taken time off work to try and stop the closure, even suggesting that residents would maintain the Frizzi Road access. “We also suggested the city could put up a sign saying people use the road at their own

risk,” she said, adding many people use the road to recreate in the river valley. Muraca said the idea isn’t prudent for a municipality. “When you close a road you close a road,” he said. The locked gate will be an inconvenience to the 17 residents, but it is the only solution Muraca said, adding the city is following up on a recommendation from one of the impacted residents that there be a combination lock box at the gate with a key for visitors to Moore Mountain. The gate at the Comer entrance is locked because it sits near a railway crossing and there is infrastructure in the river valley that has to be protected, he added. City crews will plow the road and sand it to the bottom of the Moore Mountain Road. “I have made provisions to hand out keys to all of the residents,” he said.

Viewers can expect an even better show than last year when season three of the HGTV’s hit series Timber Kings premieres in January, said Pioneer Log Homes founder and owner Bryan Reid Sr. “I truly believe this season is going to be better,” Reid said. “It’s the same camera men, the same director and people that started out with us three years ago, so they really know what we’re going to do. They’ve spent as much time with us as some of our apprentices and it really makes better for TV for us, them and the viewer.” Chuckling Reid said he along with Peter Arnold, Beat Schwaller, Joel Roorda, Bryan Reid Jr. and André Chevigny weren’t born with cameras over their shoulders. “We really set out this season to be more comfortable in front of the camera,” he added.

The show isn’t scripted, and happens how it happens, Reid added, noting someone almost drowned in Quesnel River during the filming of an episode. “It’s not that funny but it was quite an event,” Reid said. “You’ll see that this season but you have to watch for it.” As for other hints about season three, Reid divulged he was in Russia five times for a house they are building that will be featured. In another episode Peter Arnold goes to Barkerville and visits Billy Barker’s original mine shaft. “I found it very interesting. That’s in our backyard,” Reid said. One of the big highlights will be an episode featuring the log car Reid’s been working on in hopes of setting a Guinness World Record for the world land speed record for a log car.

Do your part for safe holiday Don’t drink and drive. Sad that it must be said every year. Even more disheartening that the message just doesn’t get through. Every year, in nearly every community, police, victims, families and others plead with the public not to drive while impaired. And every year, in nearly every community, at least one incident will be reported of a motor vehicle collision that could have been avoided had alcohol not been involved. Far too often, that incident will have tragic results. Families will be destroyed. All for the sake of saving $20. “I just live around the corner.” “I don’t want to leave my car at the bar.” “I need my vehicle in the morning.” “I don’t have money for a cab.” All excuses police have heard before. None of them legitimate. Police in Williams Lake and across the province are into their Christmas season crackdown, promising to be ever-

vigilant in catching impaired drivers. It’s sad to think that people will consider getting behind the wheel after a night of consuming liquor or drugs, despite constant reports of deaths caused from such acts. ICBC notes that impaired driving is still the leading cause of car crashes in B.C. and 27 per cent of vehicle crash fatalities are related to impaired driving. According to Statistics Canada, impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal death in the country. Let that sink in for a minute. The leading cause of criminal death in Canada is also so easily preventable. So, before picking up those keys at the end of the staff holiday party, or a night out with friends, keep this in mind: Someone’s family will be destroyed by an impaired driver this Christmas season. Don’t let one stupid decision make you the cause.

Lucky to be able to spend Christmas in Canada The gift of being a Canadian, living in this country, being free, and having the opportunity to celebrate Christmas the way we like, is one great gift. To be able to have big feasts at Christmas time is something we should cherish, because there are many who only have enough food for a meagre subsistence and their living conditions are not the best. I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and we could open a jar a week. Wow! That would be spectacular. You know how people seem

the

weekend

to be more friendly at this time of the year. If we all had one jar of

Christmas spirit each week, we would happier throughout the year. I had very happy Christmas seasons growing up in Saskabush. There were Santa’s elves riding on horse-drawn sleighs going through our community. I made calls to Santa Claus 10 days before Christmas and my uncle did a great job of imitating St. Nick. I figured Santa must be pretty smart ‘cause he seemed to know a lot about me. My parents, grandparents, great grandma, uncles and

aunts had so much fun playing up Christmas along with the Santa Claus stuff. It’s neat to look back at Christmases past and remember a lot of fun times. We can all be young at heart at Christmas and enjoy Santa, no matter what our physical age may be. We should be thankful we live in a country where we can choose to celebrate Christmas in the traditional Away in a Manger style and go to church, or not, as we want. We can choose Christmas cards for inspiration or one that

simply says, “happy holiday.” We should be very thankful that we can enjoy the Christmas season with loved ones, friends and acquaintances and be thankful for this wonderful country and a great Cariboo Chilcotin. We have so much here and we should really be in the spirit of Christmas, after all it is only next week, when we get to celebrate big time. Merry Christmas everyone, may your spirit be bright.

Clark on carbon tax, government ads Premier Christy Clark sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview at her Victoria office Dec. 9. Here are excerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at www.wltribune.com. TF: At the UN climate conference in Paris, did you speak about natural gas as a transition fuel, and did you find support for that idea? PCC: Yes and yes. The new government in Ottawa is a big supporter of our LNG plan, and part of the reason for that is that they also see it as a way forward for Canada to make a huge contribution to fighting global climate change. There are 150 coal plants on the books in China today. The only way that those plants and the ones that come after will be stopped is if they have a transitional fuel to move to. TF: B.C.’s 2020 greenhouse gas target, reduction of emissions by a third, is another target that isn’t going to be met. Why? PCC: When the government brought in the carbon tax, it was based on the assumption that other jurisdictions around us were going to eventually catch up. And none of them have. There comes a point where the carbon tax can only get so high before we start chasing all those jobs out of the province. TF: Your advisory committee says the carbon tax needs to go higher starting in 2018 if

it’s going to have an effect. Do you have any other choice? PCC: Let’s figure out what the national goal is going to be, which we don’t know yet. TF: On a related topic, transit spending. Your new minister Peter Fassbender has talked about a “new day” in Ottawa and he’s downplaying the idea of another referendum for new funding sources. Is that off the table now? PCC: It may be possible that the federal government wants to invest more in transit, and take up some of the slack from the local government level. TF: On LNG, oil and natural gas prices continue to go down, and supply continues to go up around the world. Did you see any positive signs this year? PCC: What I saw this year was developing countries, especially China, making a firm commitment to reduce their emissions. The only way for them to do that is to move to a greater degree to natural gas, and the bulk of their industry is still located on the east coast

of their country, a long way from Russia and close to B.C. TF: Are we going to see some policy action on high housing costs in 2016, and will there be some relief from the property transfer tax? PCC: You’ll see in the February budget, but we are looking for ways to provide some relief for home buyers. TF: We’re starting to see government advertising ramp up. We saw a lot of Jobs Plan

advertising before the 2013 election, we saw the federal government do it with their Economic Action Plan, which was very expensive, and to most people’s eye self-serving or political in nature at taxpayers’ expense. Is that what we’re going to see in the next year and a half ? PCC: It won’t be political. I think some of that was, really, political. You will see more information-based advertising

out there, talking to people about for example, the Registered Education Savings Plan. TF: Not Jobs Plan 2.0? PCC: I don’t think that’s in the plan. I wish I could say to you no, never, but I, you know…. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

ACTIVE LOGGING

Angie Mindus photo

A Tolko Active Logging sign is posted on a tree along the Spokey Hollow/Sinful mountain bike trail network on the west side of the city. Trees have been downed across the trails as the company continues to remove Douglas-fir beetle-infested wood. Trails will be left in a passable condition following completion of salvage harvest activities, the company said.

Alberta company has variety of income sources from power plant As I was driving into Williams lake on a perfectly clear day last Sunday there was a very noticeable smoke and vapour cloud in the Glendale area. For me it reaffirmed the seriousness of the proposal to burn rail ties at the APC power plant. I think it is useful to look at a similar situation in Whitecourt Alberta (population of 10,000 two hours north of Edmonton). A 25 megawatt plant was constructed there 20 years ago. The power plant is part of a complex (Miller Western Forest Products) which also includes a lumber and pulp mill. The Annual allowable cut (AAC) of two million cubic meters of logs supplies 50 per cent lumber, 40 per cent chips (that go to an adjacent pulp mill) and

Forest Ink Jim Hilton 10 per cent hog fuel (220,000 metric tons for the power plant) which is 10 minutes away. The plant only burns clean hog fuel (no waste wood with paint or preservatives) and receives renewable energy credits (RECs) for their efforts. As well as income from the electricity produced and the RECs, they sell ash to the farmers in the area as well as receiving a small amount for dealing with the waste wood.

I am sure the burning of rail ties at their facility would compromise most of these income sources. The hog fuel produced (10 per cent) is considerably less than that in the Williams Lake situation. If we assume the power plant (APC) and the Pinnacle Pellet Plant (PPP) get all of their fibre needs from the Williams lake AAC (2.8 to 3.4 million cubic meters depending on what years are used) it turns out to be approximately 23 per cent (i.e. 800 thousand metric tons (600 for APC and 200 PPP). A higher percentage of Douglas Fir in the log mix may account for the higher hog fuel percentage or perhaps some chips destined for the pulp mills

may go to the plants. In previous articles, I have discussed estimates of roadside waste logging material. With the reduced AAC roadside material could make up for the majority of the loss of mill residue with the biggest concern being the considerable haul distance of some material. In Whitecourt additional residual wood waste brought in has to be within a 60-kilometre distance from the power plant or the trucking costs start to be uneconomical. The authors of the WL TSA 2014 discussion paper predict the reduced AAC will be closer to Williams Lake as the beetle killed pine in the western supply blocks will have been harvested. There may also be consid-

erable roadside waste material associated with the ongoing Douglas Fir bark beetle which is surrounding Williams Lake. I am not saying that the APC and PPP are responsible for dealing with all of the roadside logging material but a certain percentage should be used by them. Before we get committed to taking on a higher percentage of rail road ties we need to look at all options of dealing with the future impacts of the reduced AAC. 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.

HEARTWARMING GIFT

Angie Mindus photo

Order of the Eastern Star members (from left) Marg Bublitz, Sylvia Martinson and Sandy Fowler present ten handmade quilts to Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre staff members (from right) Nadine Overhoff, Jose Salazar, Kevin Daniel and Shel Myers. The quilts will be used in the CCCDC’s autism centre, infant development program as well as therapy programs. Order of the Eastern Star members also recently sent a donation of toys and handmade quilts to the Children’s Hospital.

SA donations down Capt. Ben Lippers of the Salvation Army is praying that donations for their Christmas Campaign will improve. “The community has always been so generous and supportive,” Lippers said Thursday, as he picked up toy donations from the Tribune’s Food and Toy Drive. “We’re just praying they will be again.” Lippers said the Salvation Army is almost entirely reliant on earnings from its Thrift Store and Christmas Campaign donations to get it through the year. The Salvation Army operates the food bank, offers addictions programs and a drop-in centre. It also provides breakfast and lunch five days a week for those in need, serving up 27,500 meals last year alone. Lippers said Saturday is Match Day at Walmart in Williams Lake, where the company will match donations made at the store’s Christmas Kettle up to $100,000, and appeals to the community to help those less fortunate by making a cash donation. On Christmas Day, the Salvation Army will also be preparing a Christmas meal for 200 and urges anyone who may find themselves alone for the holidays to head down to the centre beginning at 11 a.m. “We don’t want anyone to spend Christmas alone, whether you are a single or a senior, please come. It’s a community dinner.”

Glen Lyne (from left), Brenda Weekes, Mackenzie Sabatino, 1, Tribune/Advisor production manager Gaylene Desautels, Tribune/Advisor publisher Kathy McLean, Tribune/Advisor office manager Lynn Bolt and Arty the Art Walker Willie Dye help out at the 13th Annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive last Saturday.

Tribune Food and Toy Drive a welcome Christmas tradition Among all of the toys and gifts donated at the 13th annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive was a bright red mountain bike that will go to one lucky teen this Christmas. Salvation Army Capt. Isobel Lippers said that names of all the teens on their Christmas wish list were put in a box and a draw was made to decide which of the teens will receive the bike. When she saw the bike come through he Salvation Army doors Saturday after the food and toy drive was finished, Lippers, said her first reaction was “wow.” “We are appreciative and thankful to the community for all of

the donations,” Lippers said. A total of 38 businesses supported the Tribune’s Food and Toy drive. Each provided gift certificates and gifts to give in exchange for community members who made donations of food, toys, and funds to help the Salvation Army help those less fortunate in our community this Christmas. Three grand prizes were also donated by local businesses for the grand prize draw donors were also eligible to enter as part of the campaign. Florence Doxtator won the round trip for two to Vancouver via Pacific Coastal Airlines; Phyllis Robinson

won the waterproof heavy duty action camera donated by Canadian Tire; and William Elkins won the 30-inch sink vanity donated by Allcraft Kitchen En’ Counters. Five truck loads of toy and food donations were delivered to the Salvation Army in trucks loaned for the day by Cariboo GM. Members of the Midget Timberwolves team helped Tribune staff to unload the donations at the Salvation Army. “I’d like to thank the generosity of the many merchants who participated in the 13th annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive,” said Tribune/ Weekend Advisor publisher Kathy McLean.

“And a huge shout out to our Midget Timberwolves Hockey team.” She said it was also very inspiring to have Salvation Army Cpt. Ben Lippers in attendance during the event. “I just really want to thank the community for their continued support,” Cpt. Ben Lippers said. McLean agreed that the success of the Tribune’s annual Christmas food and toy drive wouldn’t be possible without all of the wonderful people who make the donations of food, toys, and money for the program. “We are blessed to live in such a wonderful community,” McLean says. “Merry Christmas to all.”

LOCAL COMMUNITY

New Year’s party helps to support Mt. Timothy Ski Area The Mt. Timothy Ski Society and Ski Patrol is inviting the community to join them in ringing in 2016 at their annual New Year’s Apres Ski Party and Fundraiser. The dinner, dance and silent auction scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 31 at the Elk’s Hall promises to be a great party and fun way to help support

the Mt. Timothy Ski Area, says event spokesperson Tera Grady. Last year she says the party raised more than $8,000 with just over 100 people in attendance. Ticket prices were lowered this year to make the event more affordable for more people to enjoy.

Instead of $75, tickets are $65 which includes a roast beef dinner with all the trimmings, a dessert table, party favours and after a night of dancing to Crank It Up DJ services a buffet of midnight snacks. The fully stocked bar will include free nonalcoholic beverages for the designated drivers.

“There will also be a drink special,” adds Grady. Among the silent auction items is a log bench donated by Pioneer Log Homes. “Local business owners are being very supportive, and TRUE Consulting sponsored the hall rental for us again this year,” Grady

says. Funds raised by the party event are divided between the ski society to maintain the ski lifts and the hill, and the volunteer Ski Patrol. She says the Ski Patrol is entirely supported by fundraising. This year she says the Ski Patrol applied for and received a por-

table defibrillator from the Heart and Stroke Foundation which has a value of approximately $2,000. “That was a great help,” Grady says. The Ski Patrol also has needs for supplies such as splints, bandages, radios, rescue toboggans, and uniforms for the volunteer ski patrol-

lers. She urges people to get their tickets early as they are going quickly. Tickets are available at Spa Naturally, Bob’s, Raymond James and Chiropractic Associates. When those shops are closed Grady asks people to call for tickets at 250-305-7688.

In a recent segment on “The View” (an American network television morning show), the hosts discussed anti-Christmas billboards that have recently been sponsored by American Atheists. The conversation among the hosts quickly turned toward religion and the Bible’s core message about Jesus. Here is a thread of this conversation from a news article written on theblaze.com: “‘And it is about being good,’ Symone (one of the hosts) said. ‘And that’s what all religions are about anyway, be a good person.’ But Faris (another host) pushed back against that sentiment, separating Christianity from this characterization. ‘Not Christianity. By grace through faith you have been saved,’ Faris said. ‘It’s nothing that we can do.’” Stop right here, just for a moment. Do you agree with Raven-Symone? Do you believe that all religions are basically the same, attempting to help us ‘be good’? Does Faris’ ‘push back’ seem unnecessarily narrow to you? In case you don’t quite grasp what Faris is trying to say, let’s summarize the Bible’s message about God and Humans. The Bible claims that Humans were created in God’s image and

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT designed for relationship with Him. However, we are now lost, separated from life with God by the effects of our sin (rebellion against God). “Being good” cannot bring us close to God, save us from the righteous judgement of God, or cancel the results of our sin. Only God can save us. God did this by sending Jesus. Jesus, who is ‘Immanuel’ (God With Us), took our sin upon himself. He suffered the judgement and effects of our sin when he died on the cross. We are saved from sin and death and given new life when we put our faith (active trust) in Jesus and what he accomplished through the cross. We don’t earn salvation

by being good—Salvation is the result of God’s kindness and love and grace. This is what Faris meant. Faris’ ‘push back’ against Raven-Symone’s generalization IS narrow. It has to be, because the message about Jesus is a narrow claim about what is True. Raven-Symone, as nice as she sounds, is wrong. All religions are not the same, and it is time to admit it. Every religion is making claims about God and Humans. Many of their major claims about what is true disagree with each other. And mutually-exclusive claims of truth cannot all be True. Every Christmas season is another opportunity to examine the truth claims about the historical birth of Jesus in the town of Nazareth more than 2000 years ago. The Christmas story, and the Bible’s message, is NOT about how to be a good person and it’s NOT the same as every other religion. It’s a claim of truth about the goodness of one God. Christmas is about the loving actions of God through Jesus to restore us to relationship with Himself and to give us new life. Please take time this season to hear the story, to examine the claims, and to carefully consider God’s kindness and love toward us.

✦ E R U T L U C I R G A E L B A N I A T S U S OF ✦ THE FUTURE

Sleigh rides and the origin of tradition As I write this I am overlooking the very field from which come my earliest memories of horse drawn sleigh rides come. As a child I would see the ranch hands at the 150 Ranch heading out into the field to load hay. Once I caught the sleigh I was often handed the driving lines. Of course I thought I was pretty big driving the heavy team of workhorses. Little did I know that they really drove themselves, knowing the route and pattern from daily repetition.

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

Later the hands showed me how to tie up the lines on the crow’s nest (a tee at the top of the hayrack), loose enough so the horses could have enough free rein to pull the sleigh. The other memories stem from the fun we had at the Onward

Ranch when our friends the Cornwalls would have their open house on Boxing Day. We would always try to get dad and mom to go early enough to catch Hugh Cornwall as he went out to feed cows with the team and sleigh. Our greatest excitement came when we hitched our toboggans to the back of the sleigh. When we had our own place many years later and were working horses we found that our children and their friends had so much fun doing that. So we decided we

could have some fun if we invited the community and friends to join us. One year the sow pig came along although she wouldn’t ride on the sleigh. For 36 years we had between two and four teams of horses and guest teamsters join us. A tradition by now long established. Regrettably, when one of our team horses died this fall, we were tearless. It has also been an extremely busy fall. So we decided to take a break this year, disappointing though it is. I look forward to re-

booting this tradition in the years to come 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.

Donation a ‘blessing’ Angie Mindus Staff Writer Having a client arrive in the middle of the night recently without wearing a jacket or shoes and in the throws of addiction just highlights some of the many needs in the community, said Crystal Williams, shelter case manager for the Cariboo Friendship Society. That’s why when people like the Buxbaum family of Good Guys Gardening dropped by the shelter recently to donate much-needed warm clothing, they were greeted with such appreciation from the staff. “It’s a blessing,” Williams said of the donation of seven contractor-sized bags filled with clean jackets, toques, sweaters, gloves and hoodies and one more filled just with stuffies. “There’s a lot of need for warm clothing ... let’s face it, no one wakes up one day and

Crystal Williams of the Cariboo Friendship Society accepts a donation of jackets and warm clothing for the shelter from Roy and Evelyn Buxbaum and their children Isabella and Lucas. Every year the family collects clothing from family and friends and customers of Good Guys Gardening and washes and mends them as necessary before donating. This year the family collected eight super-sized bags. thinks they are going to end up in a shelter.” Williams said addictions and mental illness, or a combination of the two, drive people to access community supports like the Friendship Society’s shelter. A lack of affordable housing and the high cost of food just adds to the problem.

MYBESTFRIEND

Buxbaum said he was always raised to help those less fortunate and has been collecting clothing donations in Williams Lake for years. Now that he has young children himself, Buxbaum said it’s especially important to teach the value of charity to his young children, Lucas and Isabella.

“She’s starting to understand the concept, and I hope that long after I’m gone she will carry on the work. It’s important to give back. It’s the right thing to do.” The Cariboo Friendship Society accepts donations Monday to Friday at their office, located across from Paradise Theatre.

Brides & Belles ready for the party LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Making your special day beautiful, affordable and truly memorable is the goal of Brides & Belles owner Kim Futcher, who caters to curvy girls of all sizes. A steady stream of satisfied customers, along with a recent move to a new location on Oliver Street has resulted in exciting new growth for the store. “This is where you can get everything you need for your wedding. I have a seamstress on call to make your gown custom perfect for you,” Futcher said. “The only full service bridal shop between Prince George and Kamloops, we can save you stress and save you money and help make your special day as beautiful as is can be.”  The downtown store carries bridal gowns,

shawls, jewellery, flower girl baskets, gloves, exquisitely painted everlasting roses made from birch, tiaras, hair fascinators, belts and bridal sashes.   Brides & Belles has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, and Futcher reserves the days the shop is closed for one-on-one fittings for clients. “You can bring in your friends or family members — even your whole bridal party — to try on dresses and find everything you need. People love this: they like coming here, trying on dresses, laughing and telling stories and having fun. It’s like a little party,” Futcher explained. “It’s always good

to have another set of eyes. Your friends and family members know you better than anyone, and they can help you decide on colour, style, fabric and accessories.” One of the things that sets this store apart is the belief that curvy girls deserve beauty and elegance, too. “I want them to be able to shop for a quality dress because of its own merit, not because it’s in the ‘big’ rack. We cater to all tastes and all sizes, curvy girls from size 0-30. ‘He fell in love with you,’ I like to say, ‘not a size.’ “We’re just as special as anyone else, and that’s what I want everyone to feel who comes through my door,” she

Another challenge is when a bride comes in and asks if I’ve seen something on ‘Say Yes to the Dress,’” she laughed.   Brides & Belles is flexible, affordable and practical, and focused on quality and topnotch customer service. “To me, customer service means greeting people with a smile and giving them the best shopping experience possible. “Sometimes it means sending people somewhere else; I’ve had people come back and say thank you for that. My customers also love that I have quality products and popular lines. “I want customers to walk out of here feeling satisfied and happy that they found what they were looking for and had a great experience,” she added. “When people are happy, I’m happy.”  For more information drop by the store at 160 Oliver Street, phone 250-267-8131, e-mail kim1997@telus. net or visit them on Facebook.

Fraser, Byrd, share friendly rivalry

Friday, Dec. 18

Stampeders host Lac La Hache On Friday, Dec. 18, the Williams Lake Stampeders will be at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to take on the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. It will be a home game for Lac La Hache, hosted at the CMRC. The game will feature the Stamps’ annual Stamp out Hunger food drive where fans are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to donate. Any fan who donates two or more items gets a ticket for a chance to participate in the intermission Turkey Toss. Additionally, the winning ticket for the team’s quad draw will take place in the third period.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer In a sport where potential danger lies in every corner, learning to trust rival drivers can go a long way. That’s precisely what happened during this year’s racing season at Thunder Mountain Speedway when Cole Byrd and Kane Fraser, in a battle for the top spot in the 2015 Street Stock Points Championship, earned each other’s respect. Byrd would edge Fraser by four points to win the title but, in each other’s minds, they’re both winners. “At the last race of the year I was by myself unloading my trailer and Cole came over with his crew member to help me unload and get my car ready for the race,” said Fraser in an emotional awards acceptance speech. “Here is a guy that is in a points race with me, three points ahead, anyone’s race, and Cole is helping me get ready to possibly beat him. That is

The Fourth Annual Cariboo Canucks Hockey Tournament goes this weekend, Dec. 1820, at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. There will be five divisions: competitive, recreational, elders, women and youth (six to eight years old). “Each year our event gets bigger,” said organizer Cecil Grinder. “I thank the crowd in our communities for supporting the event and making it a success. We meet each other before the holidays, some have not seen each other in a long time, or we make new friends and watch our stars of today, locally.” The tournament wraps up Sunday with finals from 12:30 to 5 p.m., followed by awards.

Mt. Timothy open for season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer With more than 20 years in the ski industry spanning locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, Mt. Timothy Ski Area’s new general manager Caroline Sherrer is excited to be back at a smaller, family-oriented ski hill. “I started out in Oregon, then moved into Colorado, then eventu-

ally made it to Silver Star in B.C.,” she said, adding she’s moved to Mt. Timothy from her most recent position in Valemount. Sherrer said the very first hill she worked at was a community ski hill and that’s what prompted her to stay in the industry. “I’ve worked at all sizes but I really enjoy the smaller hills,” she said, noting this is her first general manager position. “You’re not just stuck

in one job. You know everybody. “I’m very excited and it’s a neat thing having a community non-profit ski hill. Everybody’s putting a lot of time and effort in and it’s a good thing for the community.” Mt. Timothy Ski Area is slated to have a soft opening today, Dec. 18. “The T-bar will be running Friday with regular operating hours,” she said.

On Saturday, Dec. 19, the chairlift will be operating. “We’ll continue to be open right on through the holidays,” Sherrer said, adding the hill will be open every day, except Christmas day, until Jan. 3. Mt. Timothy Ski Area is also introducing a new head chef, Mike Sonier, this season. Sonier, originally from New Brunswick, and his

company, Edible Coast, support local farmers, local suppliers and utilize sustainable products in its dishes. Also, Mt. Timothy Ski Area is currently offering a 30 to 50 per cent off sale in its pro shop. For hours of operation and more information on the hill visit www.skitimothy.com. The ski hill also operates a Facebook page featuring snow reports at “Mt. Timothy Ski Area.”

Drivers earn each other’s respect Continued From Page B1 Fraser was away in Virginia during TMS’s annual awards banquet in late October but received his season awards Wednesday: the second place street stock driver, the most improved driver for the second year in a row and the most supportive driver in all classes.

Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves defenceman Brody Conroy barges around a Quesnel Thunder defenceman Sunday during an 8-8 tie.

Bantam reps go unbeaten during weekend

Timberwolves forward Lane Paddison cuts a path to the net with a shot on the Quesnel Thunder goaltender on Sunday. The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves went unbeaten during the weekend following back-to-back double headers. On Saturday the Twolves hosted Prince George and skated away with two victories — 5-4 in game one and 7-5 in game two. Jake Jackson and Brendan Pigeon both tallied twice in game

one, while Lane Paddison added another. In game two Jackson potted another two goals and had an assist, while Raeyden Beauchamp (2G), Pigeon, Andy Berkelaar and Cade Enns notched singles. On Sunday Williams Lake tied Quesnel at home, 8-8, then hammered their northern rivals, 10-1, in the fol-

lowing game. Pigeon (2G), Beauchamp (2G), Justin Swan, Tristan Takats, Tanner Hooper and Paddison all scored in game one. Later in the afternoon Pigeon (2G), Justin Swan (2G), Brody Conroy, Sebastien Gracia, Paddison, Hooper, Beauchamp and Jackson lit the lamp in the 10-1 win. Pigeon also added another four assists to record six points in the game. The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves will now travel to West Kelowna for its last tournament before Christmas. On Friday, Dec. 18, Williams Lake opens its tournament taking on Trail, then plays South Okanagan in the evening. Saturday, Williams Lake faces Vernon. After Christmas the

T-wolves will travel to Kamloops for the Kamloops International

Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3.

Ho Ho Ho! It’s only one week until Christmas and less than two weeks until the New Year! I can not believe how quickly a year slides by! I always think about the wonderful things families do together over the holiday, skiing, snowboarding, sledding, fishing, snowshoeing, skating, making goodies, playing games, getting that perfect tree! (these are only just a few). When my children were small I was not able to go out and get a tree with them but a very special friend of mine ( Bob Johnson) would get two trees and leave them at our house every year! My family and I would decorate one together in our living room and the other, my three sons spent hours at the kitchen table as I baked goodies making the most amazing Christmas decorations, then the boys put the tree up right there in the big old kitchen and we enjoyed it over the holidays and for Christmas Dinner. This tree was always special and almost every year I saved a decoration from it and put it up on our tree today, it brings back wonderful thoughts of them when they were little, sometimes I feel I can still see all there little smiles and here them giggling! The holidays are so special in many ways, a time to spend time with friends and family and share with others, talking about old times, singing , sleigh rides, bonfires with mulled wine and hot chocolate! I hope you share in some wonderful times over the season! December was a busy month in Horsefly The WI (Women’s Institute) had their luncheon and it was amazing again. The money raised from this luncheon goes to the Horsefly graduates for

The Old Fashioned Christmas has been happening for many years, it is an amazing event for all to share in, this event would not happen without the countless hours of people in our community volunteering and organizing everything to make it the success it is. So thank you to all who donated your time, you are a wonderful group of people! Seniors group in Horsefly put on an amazing dinner on the 15 of December! Tomorrow on the 19 of December the Anvil Pub has a Christmas Buffet and a Christmas Open Mic with Oren Barter. Crystal still has some room left at the pub for New Years Eve dinner, so reserve now! I was not able to get all the details for the up and coming month of January from Crystal so just give her a call to find out what’s coming

Lost in grief, impenetrable and deep. For many a day I could not sleep. I closed my eyes, was late one night, within a heartbeat, my dreams took flight. I saw your face, your eyes, your smile, I held you close, we talked a while. I told you how I missed you so. And did not understand why you had to go. You said it was your time to pass, the sand ran through the hour glass. That each of us burns long or bright, until we disappear from sight. You told me I must laugh and cry, I should not let life pass me by. That I must let go of the past, and hold sweet memories in my heart. There would be joys, there would be sorrows, but most of all, there would be tomorrows. I didn’t want the dream to end, it felt as though I was losing you again. You gave me one last longed for smile, I knew then, it would be a while, until we met and embraced again, but that I would live and love till then. All of our love to you my sweet boy forever & always; Mom, Eric, brother Eric, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Iain & Uncle Sean xoxo.
