Worker warns parents of deadly drug Angie Mindus Staff Writer A third fentanyl overdose death in the Kamloops area since the New Year has staff at the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District issuing a warning to area
parents. “Have conversations with your children,” Jordan Davis, blood born infection and harm reduction co-ordinator with BGCWL, said Thursday. “Talk to your children about drugs. Warn them of the risks. It
can be that one time your child decides to take a pill at a party and it ends up being fentanyl, you just really don’t know what you’re getting when it comes to street drugs.” Davis said overdoses are becoming more and more prevalent in the last two years, and much of that
has to do with the increased street availability of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opiate analgesic similar to but more potent than morphine that gives users a heroin-like high. See FENTANYL Page A3

Court upholds Gentles’ acquittal a blood alcohol level above the legal limit causing death and bodily harm. His acquittal followed a lengthy and emotional trial which saw dozens of young witnesses, police and experts take the stand to recount the tragic evening when the 20-year-old nursing student was killed. Gentles was charged after the truck he was driving struck the two
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Three Supreme Court judges have upheld the controversial acquittal of Martin William Michael Gentles in causing the death of Rayel MacDonald and injury to Alysha Mullet four years ago. Crown appealed Gentles’ acquittal of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm and driving with
women while they were crossing Carson Drive in Williams Lake at 2 a.m., while walking home with friends from a rodeo dance at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex on April 22, 2012. The appeal was heard at the Court of Appeal in Vancouver on Jan. 25, 2016. In her written ruling, endorsed by the other two judges, Honourable Madam Justice Eliza-
beth Bennett said there is no question Gentles was impaired, but the finding in the original trial that one and a half seconds was insufficient time to avoid the accident means the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt the impairment was a contributing cause to the death and injuries resulting from it. “Although this conclusion could have been articulated more clear-
ly, the finding is that the victims walked out in front of Mr. Gentles, and the result was an unavoidable accident,” Bennett stated. After the trial, held in Williams Lake, Gentles was convicted of impaired driving and leaving the scene. He received an eightmonth conditional sentence, one year probation, a one-year driving prohibition and a $1,500 fine.
Taseko seeks damages from government The company’s claim, filed in BC Supreme Court last week, surrounds the federal government’s Feb. 25, 2014 decision to block the multi-billion dollar gold-copper deposit project. “In the lawsuit we outline how the Government of Canada and its agents engaged in a pattern of deliberate and unlawful conduct and they will have to answer for that conduct,” Battison said. “The government owes us, and
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Taseko Mines Limited is taking the federal government to court seeking damages related to the rejection of the New Prosperity Mine proposal. “People need to take action to protect themselves from their own government and these are such circumstances,” Brian Battison, vicepresident of corporate affairs for Taseko, told the Tribune.
anyone else that comes before them in a tribunal or quasi-judicial process, a duty of fairness.” Legal procedural fairness was not delivered in the environmental assessment process, he added. “In the lawsuit we say they acted in excess of the powers granted to them under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 and acted with knowledge of the unlawfulness of the conduct.” When asked if Taseko
still plans to pursue the New Prosperity Mine project, Battison did not hesitate to say “yes.” “Our ambition has always been to build the project and that remains so,” he said. “It’s an asset that belongs to our shareholders and we have a 25-year mining lease and continue to seek the opportunity to develop it.” Tl’etinqox Chief and Tribal Chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government Joe Alphonse said the latest
court action did not come as a surprise. “TML’s recent losing streak in court combined with declining mineral prices has left the company grabbing for any hope of survival,” Alphonse said. “ If I were a shareholder I would be suing Battison and CEO Russell Hallbauer for their lack of respect for proper process and reckless ignorance towards the environment and First Nations where they conduct business.”
Fentanyl overdoses concern frontline youth worker Continued From Page A1 According to a recent study, street fentanyl can be anywhere from 400 to 6,000 times stronger than prescription morphine and is suspected to be responsible in 30 per cent of the increases in overdose deaths. “We are seeing so many deaths (across Canada) from fentanyl lately. Many people who die do not even know that they are using fentanyl. It can be mixed into heroine, cocaine, marijuana, and disguised as OxyContin — educate yourself and your family,” the BGCWL posted on their Facebook page this week. Davis, who is a frontline youth worker, said the stories of fentanyl overdose and deaths are hitting too close to home. “I have been told by youth in our community that members of their peer groups are using and actively seeking
Jordan Davis fentanyl for recreational use.” Davis said users can die from taking even the smallest amount of fentanyl, or become severely brain damaged. “That’s the reality of this drug,” she said, noting users are enticed by the lower cost while drug dealers are using it to cut other, more expensive drugs. “I don’t think people realize how dangerous it is,” she said. “It’s scary and if you look at the rising statistics, I think we’re just going to see more and more of this.”

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) does save lives. For CPR to be effective, press one hand on top of the other in the centre of the patient’s chest and push down about 2 inches, which forces the blood through the body, before releasing then compressing again. For best effect, there should be 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Do you know how to do CPR? You could save a life. Drug researchers are using tissue chip technology to weed out ineffective and toxic drugs before human trials begin. These tissue chips are designed to emulate body organs in structure and function. These chips can be connected to each other so the effects of a new drug can be seen on the whole “body” before subjecting humans to the testing. It promises to speed up research and save time and money. In the U.S., a poisoning by prescription and non-prescription drugs sends a child to the hospital every ten minutes. The most serious poisonings are caused by the opioids (morphine, codeine, oxycontin etc) and drugs for diabetes. Grandparents are to be particularly careful since they don’t have children around their homes continuously. Store your medications out of the reach of children. Want to make your own laxative? Mix together 2 cups of All-Bran® cereal, 2 cups of apple sauce and 1 cup of 100% prune juice. A couple of tablespoonsful once or twice a day will aid regularity. Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable... our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

rate domestic disputes where Vignjevic assaulted his commonlaw partner. “He assaulted her face causing injury to her nose,” Abrioux said. Another time he handcuffed her to a chair when she would not provide him the password to her cell phone, the judge added. “Holding a butcher knife he then made threats of cutting off her hand ... he also struck her with a metal object on various parts of her body, particularly her lower torso,” Abrioux said, noting as a result she suffered a broken femur and was unable to work for a year while she recovered and now has permanent screws in her leg.

Evidence at trial also showed Vignjevic had a history of domestic violence and had been previously involved with the drug trade. Throughout the sentencing Vignjevic sat in the prisoner’s box. Several times he became agitated and pounded the walls with his fists. He had represented himself through the trial and during the sentencing hearing spoke briefly, saying he felt there had been inaccuracies throughout the trial and he didn’t think by speaking he would be furthering himself. “I am going to continue to help myself by not saying any words,” he said. “The inaccuracies of the trial were appalling and the inaccuracies of the statement are appalling. Accuracy is not a big part of the court system in this country, federal or provincial.” Vignjevic also received a lifetime firearms prohibition, an order to provide a DNA sample and was ordered to pay a $200 victim surcharge.
Correction In the article about the Allowable Annual Cut in the Feb. 12 edition Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson was quoted saying there had been over harvesting of green timber in the Quesnel TSA, when in fact Simpson was referring to over harvesting in the Morice TSA in the past.

Richmond said the fund is there to help local governments accelerate their capital investment plans. The project is on schedule with its projected timeline and shovels are expected to hit the ground March 7, with a temporary separation wall being constructed to allow for the lap pool to remain open during construction of the new, second pool. Last week the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool working group provided letters of intent to Williams Lake area contractors RL7 Mechanical and MacKay Electric Ltd. for the initial work to prepare portions of the building for demolition.

Local politicians were all smiles Friday as a $4 million gas tax grant was announced for the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool upgrade at the West Fraser Aquatic Centre in Williams Lake. “These funds will help support the construction of infrastructure improvements that will provide a better standard of living for residents across all of B.C.,” said CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. The grant in Williams Lake was one of $69 million in funding for 27 capital projects announced in the province Friday, she added. Cariboo Regional
District (CRD) manager of community services Darren Campbell said the funding is a huge bonus and will go a long way toward the cost of the $11.4 million project. “We have authority to borrow $10 million so this will probably see us borrowing less at the end of the project,” Campbell said. “It also helps with the lower Canadian dollar and means we won’t have to be taking things out of the design. It’s nice to have.” The Union of BC Municipalities administers the federal gas tax fund in B.C. in partnership with the federal and provincial government. UBCM president and CRD chair Al

It started with a pink shirt You have to wonder if, back in 2007, while David Shepherd and Travis Price were buying a stack of 50 pink shirts could they have imagined that their bullying protest would spread around the world. Probably not. They were just trying to support a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. But this year, we are celebrating Pink Shirt Day (or Anti-bullying Day, if you prefer) for the ninth year on Wednesday, Feb. 24. And it’s five years since the United Nations took a stand and proclaimed May 4 International Anti-Bullying Day. That’s pretty good return for the purchase of a stack of cheap T-shirts. Why do people, especially
kids, bully others? There are so many reasons that it would never be possible to find one answer that would fit all situations. What is common, however, is their victims. Bullies have a knack for finding the kids that are unlikely to retaliate. And they choose them because the victim is different — skin colour, nationality, size, hair colour, shape of the nose, you name it — even the colour of shirt you choose to wear. Let’s hope the word continues to spread. Bullying will likely never be wiped out completely, but we can hope to reduce its hold on society, as has been done with the once socially acceptable drinking and driving.

Reflecting on winters gone by, prolonged cold snaps I am sorry if some readers are superstitious. I mean, what I write about winter won’t be a curse, as calving season for most is approaching fast. There is no wish for a cold late winter implied here. For some time I have been musing to myself about winter in the Interior of B.C. This happens when we are explaining to visitors about where the dangers lurk when it is really cold. We all have stories about prolonged cold snaps. I like the ones about mowing hay on the ice on wet meadows when the late summer and early fall were too wet to get on them. It is a good thing that the old horse-drawn mowing machines

had steel cleats capable of traction on the ice. The hay would be better than eating pine needles, you might say. I have never had to do this, but I have had to haul hay for cattle and horse feed at -50 F, so cold that the horses pulling
the sleighs could not breath hard (so it was slow going) without freezing lungs. And if you unharnessed after using them, then put the frozen harness on the next day, they would shake a while until they warmed the harness. The cook and homemaker did not appreciate a set of harness warming in the kitchen or living room! Calves are bad enough when born during inclement weather. So, we left the harness on the horses for the coldest of the days. Some of the older folks in the ranching business will remember how warm they got when loading a ton or so of loose hay from the stack onto the sleigh. The warmth lasted until you were about a mile from the
stack, then you had to get off and walk behind the sleigh to keep warm. Even colts that were just started would not venture to runaway, especially if tied back to an old horse. Somehow they knew that a fast pace might freeze their lungs. When it was -48 F it was tough to get help. Only some of us had to get out to work. Keeping the home’s fires burning was obviously important. And the children should not be far from home in these temperatures. When not so cold our boys liked to come and help and toboggan behind the sleigh. When little (two to fours years) much of the sleigh ride
home would be spent with little, almost frozen, feet under my coat on my stomach. This was in spite of best efforts by mother to dress them properly. I am brave to write about bad weather when we are about to go to Mexico for three weeks. We do this now that we have learned that profitable ranchers take a good holiday every year. We still wonder if the holiday is the “chicken” and the profit part is the “egg,” or the other way around.

Housing czar defends drug ghettos Housing Minister Rich Coleman was flabbergasted at the angry response to his solution to the Victoria courthouse “tent city,” the latest tarp-covered camp to spring up in southern B.C. Coleman announced two temporary shelters with three meals a day and medical supports. One is a former nursing home close to the courthouse squat, conveniently located near panhandling and drug dealing spots as well as taxpayer-funded services. The other offers indoor or outdoor tent space at a former youth custody centre, with a dedicated downtown shuttle bus so these “victims” of “homelessness” don’t have to endure B.C.’s most generous transit bus system. We weren’t consulted, said the indignant spokespeople for those bringing new-looking tents to take advantage of food and other handouts, offered in B.C.’s warmest climate by the province’s most naïve local government. But this was just a show for the media by our resident professional protesters, some of whom aren’t really “homeless.” After the reaction, which Coleman described as “bizarre,” the combined 88 housing opportunities are being snapped up. Those on welfare will have to fork over their $375 monthly housing allowance, as the province continues to convert more housing and offer more rent subsidies. It’s no wonder that south-

ern B.C. is the destination of choice. Coleman said it’s always been a seasonal thing, but this winter has been the highest in a decade, largely due to an exodus of economic migrants from the downturn in Alberta, naturally heading for B.C.’s most desirable real estate. I asked him about two other homeless hotspots. In Abbotsford, campers have ignored a city deadline to take down structures in a three-year-old camp, after temporary shelter and costly provincial supports were brought on. A courtroom and street confrontation looms with self-styled “drug war survivors” and their Vancouver legal help. In Maple Ridge, a tent camp sprang up next to the local Salvation Army shelter, with people cycling through the shelter’s 15-day limit, camping and being fed until they could go back in. Mayor Nicole Read, who has worked in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, said Maple
Ridge took on its own outreach, shelter and housing effort because the province’s $1 million-a-year Salvation Army operation isn’t working. Coleman is not amused. He said he’s had no complaints about Abbotsford’s Salvation Army shelter, and Read is the only one griping. And no mayor is going to tell him how to spend provincial dollars. Maple Ridge now has two shelters with accompanying street drugs, prostitution and crime. I asked Coleman about the 10-year-study led by Simon Fraser University researcher Julian Somers on the housing, out-
reach and services in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. This is the heart of B.C.’s “housing first” strategy, where the province has bought and renovated 30 “single room occupancy” buildings, built another dozen and poured in every possible support, including the buyout of high-living executives at the Portland Hotel Society. The study found that the hardest cases are worse off than ever, based on court, hospital and other service records, while the influx to the notorious Vancouver drug ghetto have tripled in 10 years. “I haven’t had a chance to go
over that report yet, but I disagree with the assumption I’ve heard already, because I walk the Downtown Eastside,” Coleman said. “I don’t know if they do every few weeks to a month, but I’ve been doing it for about nine or 10 years and I can tell you it’s a whole lot better down there.” The question is whether problems are being solved, or just better hidden from view.

Chamber of commerce a vital part of B.C. business This is the end of Chamber of Commerce Week in B.C. The Minister of Small Business Coralee Oakes from Quesnel is the right person to help promote Chambers of Commerce this week. As many people know the minister was the executive director for the Quesnel and District Chamber of Commerce and was a big supporter of small business in B.C. I attended many BC Chamber provincial conferences and I know how hard she worked for Chamber of Commerce resolutions that came from the Cariboo. Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett has also been involved with Chambers in the Cariboo to

support resolutions and to be involved locally. The BC Chamber of Commerce works diligently to help grow our economy in B.C. There are more than 125
Chambers of Commerce in this province, representing businesses as small as one person to large corporations. The BC Chamber is involved with the many facets of provincial politics to get members’ concerns into the hands of those who have the opportunity to do something for business people to help grow our economy. BC Chamber President and CEO Jon Garson stated the B.C. budget this week was good and he further said that as one of only two jurisdictions in Canada to balance our budget, British Columbians are seeing the benefit as government continues paying off operating debt while investing in targeted measures that sup-
port B.C. businesses and grow our economy across the province. The Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce is one of the top chambers in this province and in 2014 they were formally recognized as the chamber of the year. The Williams Lake and District Chamber also has one of the highest attendances at its monthly meetings as businesses get a chance to network with other people from the city and area, also to hear politicians along with many interesting guest speakers with topics that affect Williams Lake and area. Minister Oakes said: “Thank you to the Quesnel, Williams Lake, Likely and Wells chambers
of commerce for the work you do every day to help keep our communities strong, growing and vibrant.” “This week we’re celebrating the vital role chambers play in working with businesses to strengthen our economy and create vibrant communities throughout British Columbia. We’ve worked closely with the BC Chamber of Commerce to get input and advice so we can continue to create valuable resources for small business owners and assist future entrepreneurs.” The Chambers of Commerce is a vital part of B.C. business.

There is a change in the film the Williams Lake Film Club will show next week. As this is our annual birthday celebration and following Valentine’s Day, it was decided to bring you a happy and funny film, a film which will make us all actually feel good. We will screen Tamara Drewe Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room. Tamara Drewe was filmed in a gorgeous, lush British country setting in the village of Ewedown in Dorset. No subtitles are needed for this film. The director is Stephen Frears and the main role is played by beautiful Gemma Arterton. As you find so often in British films, the characters are carefully chosen and fit their roles perfectly. It is considered a c o m e dy / d r a m a / ro -

The inspiration for the film came from the adult cartoon by the same name and from Thomas Hardy’s book Far From the Maddening Crowd. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for
the locals is thrown tail over tea kettle. Tamara, once an ugly duckling with a beak of a nose, has been transformed into a devastating, what some men like to call a healthy beauty. As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighbour-
ing farmsteads and the writers retreat, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book – sex appeal. And she uses it so well, inspiring dreams in pompous writers, a narcissistic young drummer from London, and in her oldtime interest, the wonderful hunk Andy. His family used to own the Winnard Farm but lost it to Tamara’s family. Tamara now is an independent journalist and in town to sell the farm. As in most villages, there are some trouble makers. In this case two teenage girls, who are bored with life and look for, well, excitement. This film is witty and happy but also shows the failures of relations as i.e. adulterous husband, saintly and accepting wife, in short it is based on real life. And you might as well cheer when the
someone finally gets his come-uppance. Tamara Drewe is a very beautifully made comedy which makes you laugh at and feel for the characters even if they are vain, lustful, egotistical or long-suffering, probably even because of it, and there are certainly some real nice people living in Ewedown. One thing Tamara Drewe is not, is a kitschy, sappy romance — far too witty for that, far too sharp. Tamara Drewe is a great film to share some birthday cake afterwards, especially for Ruth, but really for all of us. We all will have or have had a birthday this year. Let us raise our cups in cheer to our supporters of the LDA and to the Williams Lake Film Club. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 regular, $8 for Film Club members, and $6 for seniors (65+) and students, TRU and High School.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer In the early 1980s Carol and Rick Blacklaws were part of an archaeological team sent into the remote Chilcotin to document the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail, part of explorer Alexander Mackenzie’s 1793 crossing of North America. Last year the couple published a book about their journey called In the Footsteps of Alexander Mackenzie which includes photographs that Rick took to document the trip they made by horse and wagon. This month Rick has a show of 40 handtinted photographs that he took on that adventure, enlarged and has on display in the Station House’s upper gallery in his show called Along the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease Trail: A View from the Past. Back in the 70s and 80s, Rick says he chose to document their journey in black and white photographs because he thought it would be more simple and artistic. “The digital world has allowed me to revive them in colour,” Rick says. He scanned 200 of his negatives to create a collection of digital photographs for the Kluskus Band, and will also give the photographs to other bands in the region who may want them. In the days when they were documenting the trail, Carol says no one in the region had cam-
tographic books, journals and magazines. He was the recipient of the Roderick HaigBrown Regional Prize for his book The Fraser River with Alan HaigBrown. His books also include Ranchland British Columbia’s Cattle Country with Tribune/ Advisor columnist Diana French; Nemiah: The Unconquered Country with Terry Glavin; and The Adam’s River: Exploring the Mystery of the Adams River Sockeye with Mark Hume.

He says some of the pictures took up to 10 overlays to colourize. Researching the colours to make sure they are true to the day also took time and extra effort. He visits the Cariboo

As a youth worker in town, I enjoy the opportunity to participate in the Breakfast for Learning program that happens at Lake Secondary School every morning. It is an exciting way to start the day, sharing bagels and fruit with students who didn’t quite have time for breakfast. This week was different though. Instead of beginning the week, dreading an upcoming test, or cramming to get their weekend homework done before their classes began, students were walking slower and whispers filled the air asking if everyone else had heard the news. Heavy hearts and tear filled eyes filled the hallways and classrooms as everyone recognized the emptiness. On Monday of this week the staff and students at the school began the heavy journey of mourning the loss of a loved one. On Sunday Mrs. Laura Kaufman Storoschuk passed away following a tragic snowmobiling accident and it very quickly became apparent how many lives she impacted. As a math and science teacher she had a gift for bringing creativity and excitement into her classroom. But now, we were left to grieve. Nobody enjoys grieving. It hurts, we feel helpless and we recognize how final the whole thing feels. But there must be something I can do. I’m not convinced that we’re doomed to be swallowed up by grief, never to emerge. Let’s
PARSONS PEN
BY TERRY FEHR make a declaration that we can, and we will, rise up from this. To do that, first, we should make sure we understand what grief is. It is typical for any of us who have mourned the loss of a loved one to experience a vast array of feelings and thoughts. These might be uncomfortable, but grief is not an illness. It is not like the flu, in that we wait for the symptoms to subside and then we are all better. Grief is a process that we go through because an event has happened. We feel sorrow because there has been a loss. And instead of trying to go back to the way things used to be, we find ourselves facing a new normal. It is important that we make the most of each moment, because we don’t know how
suddenly we might be faced with the next big change in our lives. The process of grieving will look differently for different people. It was once shared with me that grief can be compared to a seven-layer chip dip, and different people putting their chips in will get different combinations of cheese, beans or guacamole. I don’t want to get into the process of grieving, but instead I want to identify a few key elements to help all of us through it. It is important for us to recognize that old adage that no man is an island. We are better when we walk together and support each other. 1 Peter 3:8 says that we be “full of sympathy toward each other, loving each other with tender hearts and humble minds.” Whether we are experiencing highs or lows, we do better when we are aware and take time for the community around us. We also need to recognize that there are different seasons in life. Some are easy some are insanely hard. He was credited as the wisest man to ever live and Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:4 that there is “A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.” Seasons come and go. Even after the dark and cold of a long night, we can know that the morning is coming. Grief is hard, but God has designed us so that we can walk through it together.

Newspapers used as baby blankets Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Old newspapers are great for lining bird cages, training new puppies, packing items for shipment, and even composting but we at the Tribune/Advisor certainly wouldn’t want to see newspapers used as baby blankets. Unfortunately, in many developing countries, that is exactly what is happening with newspapers. People in developing countries are resorting to wrapping babies in newspapers to keep them warm, says
Marie Vautour, who learned of the situation in some developing countries from missionaries. A member of the Evangelical Free Church on 11th Avenue, she says the congregation is hoping to change the lives of some poor babies in the world by mounting a community campaign over the next few months to collect new receiving blankets, sleepers, flannelette diapers and clothing for babies ages zero to two-years old. The congregation is asking crafters in the
community to help by quilting, sewing, knitting or crocheting these items for the campaign. Or people can purchase new items for expectant and new moms and newborns. Vautour, who works as a recreational aid at the Seniors Village, says she was involved in a similar project when she was living in Kelowna, in which 30 boxes of baby clothes and blankets were sent to families in need. While they don’t know yet where the items collected here will be sent she expects

People interested in pitching a play should bring along two copies of the script, the name of their stage manager

it will be to somewhere in South America. “I am hoping to get the whole community involved in some small way,” says Vautour. A baby crib has been set up at the church located at 1100 Eleventh Ave. where the items can be dropped off. She says the items collected will be distributed by Canada Food for the Children. All of the items collected during the next month or so will be on display during a Third World Baby Shower and Tea to be held at the church on Saturday, April 2 from 2 to 4 p.m. For more information about the project contact Marie Vautour at 778-412-9257 or the church office at 250392-2843.

BBBS Big Night Out 2016 a big success Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Big Brothers and Big Sisters Big Night Out 2016 fundraiser Saturday evening at Signal Point Gaming was a bigger success than organizers hoped for. “It was very well received,” says Melissa Newberry. “Everybody looked fabulous and had a lot of fun.” All 100 tickets to the “adult prom” were sold and between fundraising games the event raised $4,000. Funds will help to support the Big Brothers and Big Sisters’ programs which include in-school mentoring, community matches between Bigs and Littles, and group activity programs Go
Girls and Game On. Big Night Out 2016 included “waves of appetizers,” dancing to the music of the local cover band Run Home Jack, raffle prizes, and casino style games with prizes such as spinning wheel, and top and tail coin toss. “Spinning wheel was very popular,” Newberry says. Top prize for the three rounds of Tops and Tails was a computer tablet. She says local businesses and individual community members also donated 15 gift baskets, and 80 gift cards as prizes. “We were very well supported by the community,” Newberry says. Glass Slippers also
raised $700 renting formal gowns and dresses for the evening, she says. The Glass Slippers program has a collection of donated formal gowns and dresses, and a few tuxedos which are provided free of charge for graduates who can’t afford formal attire for their grad prom. “This was our first Big Night Out, and it was a success due to the support and donations from local businesses, volunteers and the band who made this possible,” adds Chelsea Hamblin, mentoring program co-ordinator who spearheaded the event. “We look forward to running it again next year!”

Parade of Choirs appreciated by Hough Memorial Cancer Society Hough Memorial Cancer Society secretary Audrey Hyde is hoping the whole community will come out to support the annual Parade of Choirs coming up on Sunday, Feb. 28. “We appreciate the continued support of the Parade of Choirs and the community as a whole for all the donations made over the years,” Hyde says in inviting the public to the event.
She says the Hough Memorial Cancer Society recently purchased a microscope for the lab at Cariboo Memorial Hospital valued at $8,089, and a laparoscope for the hospital valued at $4,961. “We are now waiting for a request from the hospital for our next project,” Hyde says. Over the past seven years since the Parade of Choirs first started
Cariboo Men’s Choir director Carl Johnson says event has raised more than $15,000 in donations for Hough Memorial Cancer Society which purchases early detection cancer equipment for the hospital. The 2016 Parade of Choirs takes place on Sunday, Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. at Cariboo Bethel Church with admission by donation. In addition to the Cariboo Men’s Choir,
the afternoon will include performances by Quintet Plus, directed by Michelle Erlandson; The Seniors Choir directed by Sharon Taylor; and the choir Eclectica from 100 Mile House. While the entire program isn’t firmly set yet, Johnson says the Cariboo Men’s Choir will be debuting two new selections: Maria from West Side Story written by Bernstein and Sondheim;

and Loch Lomond, a traditional Scottish folk song arranged by Jonathan Quick. Johnson says the songs by Quintet Plus songs will include The Lass From the Low Countree-Folk Song with additional verse by John Jacob Niles; Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce; and You Raise Me Up by Graham and Lovland. The full program will be announced later, Johnson says.
Johnson says the Cariboo Men’s Choir will also sing Maria for their entry in the Cariboo Festival this spring. The choir includes 15 to 20 men who have been singing together for 12 years. They meet to rehearse on Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. in the library at St. Andrew’s United Church. He says Williams Lake and 100 Mile
House choirs also take turns hosting choral workshops for choirs each year with Williams Lake hosting three regional workshops over the past decade. “In October 2015 Eclectica hosted a BC Choral Federation workshop with Geordie Roberts who taught us a lot,” Johnson says. “The workshop finished up with a short concert.”

BC Cattlemen’s to tackle wolf predation again Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer
Photo submitted
The BC Cattlemen’s Association has reclaimed responsibility for livestock predation control in the province. The work has been bounced back and forth between the BC Cattlemen’s Association and the Conservation Officer Service for years with wolf numbers gaining the upper hand. It is hoped the program will alleviate some of the pressures faced by ranchers in dealing with the problem.

In the Anahim Lake area, wolf predation has increased and predation control has been left on the ranchers’ shoulders, he added. The intent of the program is not to kill a bunch of wolves, Boon emphasized, noting research shows when too many wolves are eliminated, it splits packs and creates a bigger problem.

A livestock protection program is back in the hands of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association in partnership with the B.C. Government. “It’s a co-ordinated effort and goes deeper and further than the issue of livestock predation,” said Kevin Boon, general manager of the BC Cattlemen’s Association. “It’s not just about hunting and trapping, it’s also about mitigation and will involve education and putting out information on best management practices.” The program will only target coyotes and wolves that have preyed on livestock, said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Agriculture. “As the B.C. government is responsible for wildlife management, including wolves, in the province, we also have a role to play in programs that mitigate the damage or impact they have on British Columbians,” the spokesperson said. For wolf activist Sadie Parr the words “mitigation” and “education” give her a sense of cautionary hope. “I am glad the province is stepping up to do
In the B.C. Government’s Grey Wolf Management Plan it is estimated there are about 8,500 wolves in the province. Boon anticipates through the program they will remove approximately two per cent in a year of the total wolf population. Only trained and registered trappers, hired by the association, for a “yet- to- be determined cost-recovery fee,” will carry out the program Boon said, noting so far 23 people have been hired throughout the province and twice as many have applied. Some of the operators won’t necessarily trap, and others won’t hunt, but all of them must have the ability to trap, identify and verify what type of predator has caused the problem, Boon said. If it is determined bears or cougars are the predators, then those cases will be handled by the Conservation Officer Service. “Bears and cougars are more random and we don’t see them as much,” Boon said, adding with the COS they have the ability to relocate or do different things than trapping and hunting.

Community support helpsTRU GRIT award multiple bursaries Brian Garland Special to Tribune/Advisor The first class of students in the Applied Sustainable Ranching Program commenced in January of 2016 at the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) campus here in Williams Lake. This is an historic occasion for TRU and our city for many reasons. Ranching is a major industry and its support and contribution to our local economy is substan-
tial. Our TRU recognized this and pursued the opportunity to ally education to local economic needs while recognizing a great need to offer education here in B.C. and, better yet, in Williams Lake. Many young, local ranchers have taken agricultural education in Alberta where three universities and colleges have offered agricultural education for many years. This program at our campus is unique in B.C.
The program will grow and is expected to attract Canadian and international students over time. As TRU Williams Lake continues to grow it will be a major part of our overall economic strength along with mining, forestry and tourism. Thanks to Ray Sanders and his TRU team, David Zirnhelt and his ranching experience and contacts and the support of our Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA, Donna Barnett, the
ranching program is now underway. TRU GRIT awarded six $2,000 bursaries to assist students with enrolment fees. This was possible only through the generous support of our community who support the TRU GRIT fundraising efforts. We thank you and salute your continued support. Our major fundraising event is the Gala “Diamonds and Denim,”
which will be held this year on Saturday, April 2, 2016. Tickets are available at TRU or Cariboo GM. Please continue to support this event and the hard-working volunteers
who make it happen. This is all about education and building an even better community for us and for the future. Brian Garland is the foundation chair of TRU GRIT.

Volunteer income tax program begins March 8 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Surinderpal Rathor’s team of volunteers is ready to offer services to people who need help with their income tax returns beginning March 8. “Our mission is not to take away from businesses that are doing income tax returns ,” said Rathor, who has been volunteering with the program for more than 40 years. “We are here to help people who cannot afford to pay for the services.” Eligibility for the free service falls under the following total income guideline.
The cap for a single person is $30,000, for a couple is $40,000, plus an additional amount of $2,500 for each child. For one adult with one child, $35,000 income limit is the cap. However, volunteers can make exceptions, said Rathor, noting for example if someone made more money than the cap but gets laid off. There are four different ways people can access the program — appointments, walk-ins, dropping of papers at the Seniors Activity Centre or Women’s Contact Society during business hours or calling Ra-
thor at 250-392-0909, beginning March 8. “We don’t do returns at the sittings, we just collect information, which takes about two minutes,” said Rathor. He suggested people can obtain a print out of all the prescriptions they’ve purchased from a pharmacy rather than bringing in several receipts. He also reminded people with medical travel costs they will need to know the dates, mileage, doctor’s name, any parking and hotel expenses, etc. “They don’t need meal receipts because
there is a per diem,” he added. For people claiming the disability credit they must have 12 months of being disabled and have a doctor’s form to verify their eligibility. Returns for deceased persons or people who have claimed bankruptcy are files the volunteers cannot process, he added. Sittings have been scheduled at various places, although priority will go to residents, said Rathor. He also encouraged non-residents not to rush for the first part of the sittings. The sittings are on
March 8 at Seniors Village from 10 to 11:30 a.m., March 10 at the Seniors Activity Centre from 10 to 11:30 a.m., March 15 at Sunset Manor, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., March 17 at Glen Arbor from 10 to 11:30 a.m., March 22 at the Immigration and Multicultural Society from 10 to 11:30 a.m., and March 24 at the Salvation Army from 10 to 11:30 a.m. “Originally our program was designed for seniors, students, newcomers and disabled people, but now it’s for all people who need help and cannot do the returns themselves,” Rathor said.

MONEY MATTERS How to save for retirement WHILE ELIMINATING DEBT
(NC) Canadians are carrying more debt than ever before and many find themselves faced with a tough choice: pay down the debt or save for retirement? According to personal finance experts, it’s possible to have the best of both worlds and it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think. “Taking a proactive approach to your finances can allow you to both save for retirement and pay down your debt,” says Wade Stayzer, vice president of sales and service at Meridian.
Get a personalized financial plan – Working with a trusted financial advisor to create a personalized financial plan is like driving with a GPS system – you’ll reach your end goal faster and with less stress. Make sure you are honest with your advisor and give them the full picture. Let them help you reach your goals and
check in with them at least once a year to re-evaluate your plan and make any necessary course corrections to keep you on track. Be strategic – Pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first, while paying the minimum on the rest of your debts. Once that first debt is paid off, concentrate your efforts and funds in paying the next debt with the highest interest rate. Invest automatically –
Saving for the future is easy if you put your savings on autopilot. Many financial institutions provide pre-authorized contribution (PAC) plans, which will automatically transfer funds from your chequing account into your savings investments at regular intervals. PACs are a great tool for contributing to RSPs or TFSAs and if you coordinate the withdrawals to align with your payday, the money won’t even be missed.

Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena to close Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The future of the Lac La Hache Tomahawks senior men’s hockey team is up in the air following an announcement the team’s home rink, the Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena, will close later this month and, possibly, for good. “I don’t know what we’re going to do,” Tomahawks president and goaltender Willie Sellars said Wednesday. “If we don’t have a rink to play out of we’re not going to be able to play in that league [the Central Interior Hockey League]. It’s unfortunate and it looks like we’ll be looking for a new home.” During the Lac La Hache Community Club’s annual
general meeting Tuesday the decision was made to end this year’s arena season on Feb. 29 due to several circumstances. LLHCC president Larry McCrea told the Tribune power plant issues, rising maintenance costs, lack of use and a reduction in the number of volunteers from the community are all factors in the decision to close the arena. “Our expenses are way up, especially hydro,” McCrea said. “We pay $5,000 a month for hydro, our use is down for a variety of reasons and the volunteer base is down. The club has been dumping money into the arena to keep it going.” Seventy-three-year-old Terry Buckoll, the main vol-
unteer behind keeping the arena’s doors open, also said he won’t be able to continue his job next season. The Rolf Zeis Memorial Arena has its roots in Williams Lake where it was once the old Williams Lake Arena. In the 1980s it was disassembled and moved to its new home in Lac La Hache. “We need more use, more involvement from the community in the operation of the arena and expenses,” McCrea said. “That’s just life.” McCrea said main user groups affected by the closure will be the Tomahawks, an old-timers hockey league, some minor hockey use out of 100 Mile House and regular user groups such as
a women’s team and a youth skating group. Funding from the provincial government also isn’t an option after Lac La Hache lost its minor hockey designation. “We used to insure it through 100 Mile minor hockey because we can’t have our own,” he said. “But at the end of the day we lost our official minor hockey status and we don’t get grants anymore.” Sellars said the Tomahawks will decide how to move forward during the team’s year-end meeting coming up soon. One option suggested to him by the LLHCC is to move the team to 100 Mile House. Another would be to withdraw from the league, rename the team
and move to Williams Lake to play as an independent senior men’s hockey team. “If we can get six games in versus other senior men’s teams we can still attend the Coy Cup [the B.C. senior men’s provincial hockey championship],” Sellars said. The LLHCC, which was incorporated in 1932, owns and operates the Lac La Hache Community Hall, a three-building thrift store and hosts a popular bingo night every Wednesday. They also organize the Lac La Hache Garlic Festival. “We’ll close early this season and then look at our options,” McCrea said. “We may not open at all, we may open for a shorter season. We’ll see.”
The Williams Lake Stampeders, up 2-1 in the best-of-five Central Interior Hockey League East Division playoff final, face the Quesnel Kangaroos on the road on Saturday, Feb. 20. Should Quesnel win, game five of the series goes in Williams Lake on Sunday, Feb. 21 starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. The Stampeders defeated the Kangaroos 5-3 on Sunday, Feb. 14 to take the 2-1 lead in the East Division playoff final.

Celtic Engineering claims Valentine’s crown Lakecity soccer players converged during the weekend for the annual Williams Lake Co-Ed Valentine’s Tournament. Seven teams competed, where Celtic Engineering upset Funky Love in the final, 4-2. It was Celtic’s fifth game of the day as they had to come from the loser’s side of the double knockout tournament. Alison Levens, Vanessa Hansen and Justin Hansen all scored in the final. Luke Moger and Ashley Callendar had Funky Love’s goals. “The final was very competitive,” said Funky Love player Sean Glanville. [Lots of] tight checking.” Celtic player Rajan Mangat noted the tournament is his favourite part of coming home from university in February as it brings the soccer community together. “We started to play way better as we built chemistry with each

other netminder. “Travis made some huge saves and in the end it was a successful tournament,” Mangat said. Celtic got past Carrie’s Team in the

semifinal. After losing to them earlier in the tournament in a shootout, Celtic answered back with a 6-0 shutout win in the semifinal rematch. All of the money
raised from the tournament went to help long-time soccer player Ashley Stewart, whose home was damaged last week in the Green Acres Mobile Home Park fire.
T-wolves provs-bound The Williams Lake Midget Boys Timberwolves advanced in the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association playoffs after sweeping Quesnel in a best-ofthree series during the weekend. The series win means the Williams Lake has earned a berth at the provincial championships regardless of the results of this weekend’s series against Prince George. The Timberwolves came out strong in game one and skated to a 5-0 shutout victory by limiting Quesnel to just a few scoring chances. Dylan Derose was in net for the T-wolves and grabbed the shutout. Corey Loring had a big game for the Timberwolves with four points (2G, 2A) with Brett Hare and Cody Swan adding singles. In the second game Williams Lake once
again came out strong and jumped out to a quick lead. After two periods the Timberwolves led 5-0 and cruised in the third ending up with a 6-3 win. Lane Wycotte scored a hat trick for the Wolves with Swan, Braeden Boyd and Hare adding singles. Derose, again, was in net for the win. The T-wolves now travel to Prince George this weekend for the first two games of the CAHA best of three series final (third game is in Williams Lake on Sunday if required). As Prince George is hosting this year’s provincial finals they automatically qualify, which means the second place team in the CAHA also qualifies rendering this weekend’s series essentially meaningless, except for bragging rights going into the provincial finals.
