Kwaleen rep calls for district to stop its process

Angie Mindus photo

School District 27 trustees and superintendent Mark Thiessen listen to the concerns of residents during an open forum held at Kwaleen Traditional Elementary School recently. The board had its regular board meeting last night, and is scheduled to meet at Wildwood Elementary Thursday night.

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Community members came out in full force to show their support for Kwaleen Traditional Elementary – one of three schools in the Williams Lake area proposed for closure.

Trustees Sheila Boehm, Will Van Osch, Tanya Guenther and Doug Neufeld were on hand Tuesday, Nov. 20 evening to listen to a presentation by school representatives, as well as field questions from the

crowd.

“As you can see, we have a great, supportive school,” said Katie Dyck, Kwaleen's Parent Advisory Council (PAC) President.

Dyck cited high FSA testing as one concrete example of the ongoing successes of the small school, currently home to approximately 100 South Lakeside catchment and non-catchment students. Dyck also presented several programs at the school which give back to the

greater community and noted the school's safe location, its ice rink and sledding hills that are heavily used by the many residents.

She said closing the school would be a great loss for the whole community.

“It would be a shame if this school closes … the impact would be felt.”

Russett Bluff Community President Kirk Dressler was Dyck's co-presenter and repeatedly challenged the process by which the trustees

came to their conclusions in the Initial Options Report, released to the public Sept. 25.

Dressler said there was a “fundamental flaw” in the process used by the School District to consult with the public on school closures and reconfigurations.

He asked for the trustees to stop the current process, revise their consultation process and come back to the table with an “inclusive” and “engaging” process to develop a plan with the community.

“The success of your project is critically hinged on meaningful consultation,” Dressler said. “People need to provide input from the ground up.”

Dressler also challenged whether the trustees had any public support for their Initial Options, which recommends closing elementary schools of choice while offering more options in high school through a Grade 7 – 12 twocampus, one school configuration.

“If there is support, why aren't we hear-

New and improved buses for School District 27 School District No. 27 will receive $1.7 million in funding for the purchase of sixteen new school buses as part of a $14 million investment announced earlier this week.

“It’s important for school districts to have enough school buses to meet their needs, and these sixteen new buses, with better mileage and fewer emissions, will help get more kids to school comfortably, safely and on time in our school district,” stated Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

The Government has invested $14 million for 125 new buses across the Province.

These new clean diesel buses reduce exhaust particulate emissions by 90 per cent compared to the previous 1994 standard. The buses also obtain 30 to 60 per cent better mileage than gasolinefuelled buses, consequently providing lon-

ger service.

Currently there are approximately 1,200 buses owned and operated by school districts, and another 600 buses operated by bus companies under contract.

Districts will receive buses with wheelchair

lifts where required.

In order to qualify for replacement, a bus needs to be on a regular route to school, and have met or exceeded criteria regarding age and kilometrage.

All B.C. public sector organizations are

required to publicly report on their emissions levels, on the actions they have taken to reduce these levels, and their plans to minimize emissions. School districts do not pay carbon offsets on school bus emissions.

ing about it,” Dressler said.

For their part, trustees sympathized with parents and students on the difficulty of making changes but reiterated that something needs to be done to address declining enrollment and budget constraints within the district.

“We cannot maintain our current education level by doing nothing.” said Trustee Doug Neufeld.

Neufeld said he'd rather spend money on educating students than maintaining buildings, and that Kwaleen PAC's prediction of increased enrollment through possible future projects such as the Spanish Gold mine is not something the trustees can bank on.

“We cannot afford to gamble today's kids on tomorrow's expansion,” said Neufeld.

“We are funded for today.”

The trustees said they still haven't made their final decision on a longterm plan – they are scheduled to make that announcement in January.

But at a regular

board meeting, held last night after press time, it was on the agenda to discuss Kwaleen's proposal during the open forum meeting to extend and/or revise the consultation process.

It was additionally noted at the Kwaleen meeting that the district's ThoughStream

program, meant to engage the public in the process, was not always working as it should.

The two were avid hunters and fishermen, who at the time were living separately at the coast and in Florida, and made regular trips to the Cariboo over their lives and decided this was the place to be.

“The fresh Cariboo air and being in the land that he loved so much extended his life greatly,” said Buxbaum of his father, who worked and lived with his son for seven years.

Fire damages CRD transfer station A fire broke out Monday morning at the Cariboo Regional District’s Transfer Station in Williams Lake.

According to the CRD, the fire caused about $50,000 in damage to the structure.

The fire began when the CRD contractor, Peterson Contracting Ltd., started up the equipment in the transfer station building when the equipment ignited. The operator tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the flames, and subsequently called 9-1-1 to dispatch the Williams Lake Fire Department.The Williams Lake Fire Department examined the facility and declared it safe to reopen.

The MLA said the Government is creating the Accord to help to make B.C. one of the most business-friendly jurisdictions in the country where small business accounts for 98 percent of all businesses.

Barnett said the government received some very good input from Williams Lake and area businesses as they talked about some of the impediments government puts in the way of small business.

The Cariboo

Chilcotin MLA also heard from some businesses regarding the difficulty they were having trying to find employees, even after advertising throughout Western Canada. It was also suggested to Barnett that the education system could do a better job in preparing students about the role of small business in British Columbia.

Barnett held a similar small business accord meeting in 100 Mile House later in the same day.

Hip hop artist brings message of love to troubled youth Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Devout Christian Terrance Richmond says the pull that keeps bringing him to Williams Lake from his home in California is purely divine.

“I have come to Williams Lake completely by faith,” says Richmond, who is bringing his message of love to the area’s youth

through a summit and concert at the Lime Light Theatre Dec. 8.

“I think God wants to do some great things in Williams Lake.”

Describing himself as Christian but not necessarily religious, Richmond says he connects with troubled youth through his own tale of redemption.

In a phone interview Monday night,

Richmond said he experienced verbal and physical abuse growing up in a tough neighbourhood in Oakland, CA, plagued by poverty, unemployment and high crime. Though he was a talented athlete who played professional ball, Richmond said he rebelled against his family, used drugs, sold drugs, stole and spent time in prison before

Credit Union helps Scout Island Submitted by Jenny Noble Williams Lake and District Credit Union's Community Investment Fund supports local non-profit organizations and community groups with projects and initiatives that contribute to economic revitalization and improved quality of life. The Fund’s recent generous donation kicks off Scout Island Nature Centre’s latest fundraising campaign. The funds will bring Scout Island and the Williams Lake Field Naturalists closer to achieving a much needed energy upgrade.

An aging oil furnace, tired out from 30+ years of warming

the Nature House, is being replaced with a cleaner-burning, more efficient, emissions-free electric furnace and Energy-Star rated heat pump. New insulation will make the building warmer in winter and cooler in summer, not to mention cheaper to heat and easier to keep clean. The little ones in the Discovery Pre-School will enjoy warmer basement quarters thanks to improved ducting.

As you can imagine, this is not an inexpensive project.

Scout Island’s staff and volunteers are hard at work writing grant proposals, but these sources typically only cover part of the costs. This com-

munity has shown that it values what Scout Island adds to our way of life, and we hope that groups and individuals will again contribute what they can to help us function more sustainably.

If you would like to help us upgrade the Nature House, please send a cheque payable to Scout Island Nature Centre, 1305A Borland Rd, WL V2G 5K5. As always, you will receive a charitable receipt for tax purposes, and if you decide to make your donation in someone else’s name we will give you a gift card.

This would be a welcome holiday treat for the nature lover who has everything.

turning his life around - getting sober in 2007 and changing his focus to helping other troubled youth.

“I’ve never looked back since,” Richmond says, who uses his talent for music to help spread his message of hope, describing himself now as a solid family man.

It was family that led Richmond to Williams Lake, and his work with local First Nations youth who he says are struggling, when his uncle married a First Nations woman from Williams Lake.

That tie has led Richmond to speak at youth gatherings in the Chilcotin and participate in outreach work in Bella Bella where he played basketball, offered uplifting words and prayers to those in need and performed “life music” concerts where he sings about his life redeemed.

“Youth speak their own language ... and sometimes you have the get away from the four walls (of organized churches) to relate to them,” he says.

“There is a religious side to church that turns off young people.”

Richmond said he spent a hour speaking with a youth from Williams Lake just this week who reached out to him on Facebook because she was cutting herself, drinking and talking about suicide.

“There is a huge need in Williams Lake ... if I were to put it into one word I’d say there’s a lot of hopelessness.”

Richmond said he is working with community members to help develop relevant leaders for the area’s youth.

And he is doing so, he says, to no benefit to himself financially.

He says his only goal is to help create a more healthy community.

During his summit Richmond said there will be time to discuss topics that are important to youth such as bullying and relationships before his concert gets underway.

Richmond says he doesn’t know where

this relationship with Williams Lake’s youth will lead him, but he’s preparing to see it through to get his message out to youth in need.

“No matter how far you have fallen there is hope.”

Richmond’s Love Fix Experience Summit and Concert gets underway at 4 p.m. and runs until 10 p.m. at the Lime Light Dec. 8.

Tickets are $10 each and includes food and refreshments.

Stop the violence This week is the national Purple Ribbon Campaign, which is meant to raise awareness about violence against women.

The Women’s Contact Society has asked businesses to partner with them to deliver Purple Ribbons to the citizens of Williams Lake. Each participating business will display a poster in their window and offer the free ribbons at their cash counter.

The Purple Ribbon Campaign was originally created to remember the 14 women who were murdered in Montreal Dec. 6,

1989 during the Ecole Polytechnique massacre, where gunman Marc Lepine targeted and murdered the female students.

The Purple Ribbon Campaign has also become a symbol of remembrance of all women who have died violently and the many thousands who continue to live with abuse, and to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of violence against women.

Women who are being abused right now know all too well the pain domestic violence brings in any of its many forms.

Violence against women permanently scars its victims, including the children who have to witness it.

Domestic violence also has lasting effects on the community, with 80 per cent of all violent criminals reporting a history of experiencing or witnessing violence as a child.

Domestic violence hurts and we need to rise up against it as a people and as a nation.

If you or someone you know is in an abuse relationship, make today the day that it ends. No matter how tough the road ahead will be, victims know

deep in their hearts that no good can come from staying on the path they’re on. Get help now - there is a whoel community waiting to support you when you are brave enough to make that first step.

The Violence Awareness & Prevention Committee of Community Policing will be hosting a free lunch at the Senior’s Centre Dec. 6 provided by the Chiwid Transition House to mark the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Everyone is invited to attend.

Sharpening the axe … for yourself Life sometimes mimics an ad that once floated into my mailbox. It was for the “fastest, most productive, competitive” item ever! However, as Ovid states, “What is without periods of rest will not endure.” We know that rest affects our social, mental and physical health, and those hammocks and getaways call. But in the middle of a frantic dose of living, how can anyone find rest, and especially sleep?

The basics are 7 hours of shut-eye a night, with a good

Living out Loud with Rita Corbett chunk of that occurring before midnight. But if we don’t sleep well, perhaps the issue isn’t our nights. Could the real culprit be our days?

Taking in some early daylight - via a sunrise

walk or a 10,000-lux lamp might be one fix.

If we optimize our days, our nights might just take care of themselves.

In a similar vein, the twin nighttime beacons of TVs and computers cause our marvelous brains to adapt and think it is morning!

Sleeplessness increases further with the invasion of late- night technology. Is it time to recover some additional gifts we have traded in for electronics - reading, conversation, and real social networks?

We have traded precious

candlelight yawns for wakefulness.

Another sleepy-time fix is carbohydrates!

Contrast the nervecalming nutrition of whole grains, beans, fruit, or sweet potatoes with the shock of white pasta and wakeful proteins! Unrefined suppers (the food, not the people!) are another ticket to slumber-land. f stress is the cause of our sleeplessness, Hans Selye claims it is our reaction to stress that is the real difficulty! The greatest rest we give ourselves is when we take

a break from anxiety, criticism, and anger.

Could a cruise ship with some plugged toilets and nothing to eat but Pop Tarts constitute an adventure rather than an “ordeal?”

"Carry some quiet around inside thee," said well-known Quaker George Fox. Pausing for “re-creation” instead of entertainment could revive us on all fronts.

I wish I had coined the Coca-Cola phrase, “the pause that refreshes.”

Alcohol and stimulants (even commonlyused hot, cold, or sweet

brown ones) interfere with rejuvenation. It’s truly a bogus remedy that offers us addiction or requires time for recovery.

A man once challenged his friend to an all-day wood-chopping contest. The challenger worked hard, stopping only for a brief lunch break. The other man had a leisurely lunch and took several breaks during the day. At the end of the day, the challenger was surprised to find that the other fellow had chopped substantially more wood than he had.

"I don't get it," he said. "Every time I checked, you were taking a rest, yet you chopped more wood than I did."

"But you didn't notice," said the winning woodsman, "that when I sat down to rest I was sharpening my ax."

In a couple of weeks, I may gingerly dip my toe into another kind of rest - the spiritual.

But for now I’ll go for a walk and check tonight’s menu. And during the evening I’ll get ready to sharpen my ax. LOL@ caribooadvisor.com.

Young blasts Wilson Editor; The article by Ken Wilson on November 14, 2012 is about as biased as I can imagine.

Ken's article is so in favour and supportive of the Liberals to be something conjured up in the Liberal Media caucus. While Ken may be completely enamoured of a certain Coralee Oakes, if he is going to write anything political like this article, at least headline it as Ken's Pro-Liberal comments. Disgusting is the best word for it.

The media is constantly under fire for bias and slanted reporting and this issue of the Advisor is a prime example. Ken obviously knows little of Constituency politics unless he is just practising Liberal tactics with misinformation or deception, or diversion.

If this article were more slanted it would slide off the page.

Gary Young Independent Candidate for Cariboo-Chilcotin * Editor's note: The writing in question was an opinion piece, written as a personal column.

Liberal candidate promotes Dementia Action Plan Editor: Like many families across British Columbia, our family have been doing our best to support a loved one who lives with the devastating disease of dementia. We try our best every day, to ensure our loved ones maintain the best possible quality of life. For anyone in this position, you know that this is not an easy task. We are thrilled with the announce-

ment made by the BC Liberal Government, as part of the BC Government Provincial Dementia Action Plan, to support individuals with dementia and their families with new resources to understand and manage the disease and to provide a better quality of life.

In truth, bringing attention to dementia was a big reason why I decided to put my name forward to be a candidate for the

BC Liberals. I had tried on the Federal front to get a private member's bill to introduce a national strategy on dementia, without any success. I and several others had a conversation with Premier Clark this summer, on dementia care as well as palliative care. She listened and asked lots of questions, and now she is to be applauded for taking action.

There will always be critics,

and we still have a long way to go with research and prevention, but today is a huge step in a positive direction. Next on the agenda, we need to move palliative care from being classified as respite care and changed to acute care where it belongs.

Also I think there will be many of those who voted to change the tax will have second thoughts about the process when they find the PST will be more costly in the long run. It’s too bad so many folks voted against the HST for political reasons rather than what makes sense.

The next big thing is the Provincial election in May. We could be looking at a new government in the spring.

Then we will see how Mr Dix gets his kicks.

Officer awarded medal

Constable Micheal Berns with his fouryear-old daughter Sienna after receiving the Queen Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Constable Micheal Berns received the Queen Diamond Jubilee Medal at a RCMP awards ceremony in Prince George Nov. 7th, 2012. He is one of only a few Williams Lake residents to have received the honor.

Constable Micheal Berns has been in the community of Williams Lake for over five years. Since moving to Williams Lake in January 2007 he immediately started working on a weekly basis with the local 3064 Army Cadet Corps. As Commanding Officer, he is responsible for

Over the past year, Constable Micheal Berns has also assisted 202 Chilcotin Sea Cadets in Williams Lake. Constable Berns spends on average 12 days a month working with cadets on various activities on top of his full time career obligations and family com-

mitment.

Without his drive and dedication, the community of Williams Lake would not have two wonderful youth based programs.

Constable Micheal Berns is a full time RCMP officer with the Williams Lake Forensic Identification Section.

He is one of the founding co-coordinators responsible for planning and implementing the RCMP Youth Academy held in Williams Lake in March of 2012. He looks forward to planning another successful youth academy in 2013.

Stamps on top of CIHL East Division

Where the Trail Ends premieres this week

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Both Williams Lake area Central Interior Hockey League teams, the Williams Lake Stampeders and Lac La Hache Tomahawks, t r a ve l l e d to Northwestern B.C. for a pair of weekend road games. Unfortunately, the two sides could only combine for a single win in four games.

The Williams Lake Stampeders earned a two game split on their road trip but it was good enough to retake Lac La Hache for first place in the CIHL East Division. Rivals Lac La Hache entered the weekend two points ahead of the Stamps for the division lead but dropped both road games.

The Stamps pulled off a huge 5-1 victory Saturday night versus the Prince Rupert Rampage. It was an especially big win considering the Stamps entered the Jim Cicccione Civic Center with only 14 players on their roster able to make the long 12 hour winter bus ride. Prince Rupert tallied the first goal 5:24 into the game and took a 1-0 lead into the intermission. Williams Lake would dominate the second period and score five unanswered goals.

At 6:28 of the second Nathan Zurak scored

The mountain biking season might be over in the Cariboo Chilcotin, but there's a movie showing at the Paradise Cinemas Thursday night that will help bikers get their fix.

Where the Trail Ends is an epic mountain bike film created by Free Ride Entertainment and supported by Red Bull. This movie has been premiered so far in Las Vegas and Toronto and will be shown in Williams Lake at the Paradise Cinemas on November 29 at 7 p.m. This will be a one time showing with limited seating. All proceeds will support the local mountain bike association, “Ride the Cariboo Consortium.”

“Where the Trail Ends” is a journey about free ride mountain biking with pro riders from BC, USA and Spain.

The film also features local talent; Big Mountain Free Rider, James Doerfling, Action Sport Photographer and guide/operator in Argintina segment, John Wellburn, and Jet boat Operator, Doug Green.

Check it out.

Williams Lake Stampeders forward Brent McIsaac was one of the team's stalwarts on their northwest B.C. roadtrip on the weekend. McIsaac picked up four points with a pair of assists in both Saturday's 5-1 win versus Prince Rupert, and Sunday's 5-2 loss to Terrace. his first of four goals from Brent McIsaac and Ryan Conlin to tie the contest 1-1. At 10:15 McIsaac scored to put the Stamps ahead 2-1.

That was followed by a natural hat trick from Nathan Zurak scoring three goals in under a two-minute span. He bagged goals at 14:12, 15:17, and 16:09 of the period to put the visitors well on their way to victory. Aaron Zurak had two assists in the game.

Justin Foote had a fabulous game in goal

for the Stamps making 33 saves on 34 shots as the Stamps were outshot 34-33.

Unfortunately the Stamps couldn’t carry Saturday’s momentum into Sunday’s contest with the Terrace River Kings, dropping a 5-2 decision. Terrace scored three first period goals and added another at 7:51 of the second to take a commanding 4-0 lead. The Stamps made things interesting with Aaron Zurak scoring late in the second and Nathan Zurak add-

ing another just 1:29 into the third period to cut the lead to 4-2.

However, Terrace would add a late marker to earn the 5-2 win.

McIsaac and Conlin both picked up a pair of assists in the loss.

Foote was the losing netminder saving 37 of 42 shots he faced as Williams Lake was outshot 42-31.

Lac La Hache lost a heartbreaking 6-5 decision to Terrace on Saturday night. The Tomahawks got off to a flying start as Grant Johnson scored just 17 seconds into the game to make it 1-0. Terrace scored two goals midway through the first period to take a 2-1 lead. Lac La Hache answered on a goal from Wade Balbirnie with just three seconds left in the first period to tie the game 2-2 at the intermission.

In the second period Donovan Nicholas scored two goals just over a minute apart at 13:09 and 14:14 to put Lac La Hache in front 4-2. Terrace got a goal back late in the with only a single tick on the clock in the period to cut the Tomahawks lead to 4-3. That late goal at the 19:59 mark seemed to spark the River Kings as they scored twice early in the third period to take a 5-4 lead. Kevin McNab scored at 7:55

for the Tomahawks to tie the game 5-5 only to see Craig Vienneau bag the winning goal for Terrace at 14:01 to earn the 6-5 victory.

Willie Sellars picked up the loss in goal for Lac La Hache making 30 saves on 36 shots as the Tomahawks were outshot 36-35. Wilfred Robbins had three assists for Lac La Hache in the loss.

Lac La Hache was obviously disheartened from Saturday’s tough loss as they were blitzed 12-4 by the Kitimat Ice Demons. The Tomahawks did little to help netminder Willie Sellars giving up 62 shots on goal compared to their 29. Robbins and Nicholas each picked up two goals and an assist in the loss.

The Stampeders sit tied with the Tomahawks for the East Division lead with 13 points each, however, Williams Lake move ahead as they have a game in hand.

Robbins and Donovan each picked up six points on the weekend pushing them up to second and third in league scoring.

Robbins total is now 21 points on the season leaving him second just one point back of leader Justin Fulton of the Quesnel Kangaroos.

Nicholas sits third with 19 points.

Randhawa shines in basketball

Harpreet Randhawa is greeted by his Douglas College Royals teammates during the pregame introductions. The Columneetza graduate is among the PacWest conference league leadersin rebounds and points this season.

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Columneeza Secondary graduate Harpreet Randhawa is enjoying a strong start to his third season in the Pacific Western Athletics Association.

Randhawa of the Douglas College Royals men’s basketball team is among the league leaders in both points and rebounds.

He sits third in rebounding with nine per game and is tied for seventh in scoring with 15.4 points per game.

Randhawa, a 6’8” forward, is now nearing the half-way point of the season with his New Westminsterbased team and is hoping for a better second half. The Royals

have a 2-4 win-loss record and are one of three teams tied four fifth with identical records in the eight team league. The top six teams qualify for playoffs.

The Royals dropped an 89-78 decision to the league-leading Langara College Falcons on Friday night. Some positives can be taken from the loss as Douglas lost their opening game of the season to the same Langara team by 32 points 93-61. Langara lead the league with a perfect 6-0 record.

In the previous week the Royals split their two games on the road. They eked out an 88-86 victory over Columbia Bible College of Abbotsford

before dropping a 90-85 decision to the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Eagles 90-85.

Randhawa played his rookie Pacwest season for Kwantlen.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is right around the corner from us now! I see everyone out starting to put out Christmas lights, and have even seen a few Christmas trees being decorated.

This is always a fun time of year, lots of traditional things that we all enjoy.

One of my favourite traditions that I do several weeks before Christmas is to spend the day with one of my very dear friends and take a day to make Christmas chocolates, to share with our family and friends. We spend the day usually laughing about all the fun times from the past and all the great things that we love to do over the holidays. (I am so looking forward to our day together!) Christmas comes and goes so fast so I think trying to be organized is so important at this time of the year so you can enjoy the holidays as much as you can. December will be a busy month out here in Horsefly, starting with the Women’s Institute Invitation Only Luncheon and Auction that is on December 1st, The Old Fashion Christmas is December 15th. I have also heard that there will be some Christmas Carollers out and about in Horsefly on the 14th of December. The Anvil Pub will be having some great dinner specials this month, December 7th Prime Rib, on the 14th Steak & Shrimp, and on the 21st it’s Rib Night. They also have 3 Texas Hold’em Poker’s this month on the 1st, 8th and 15th, they are also having a New Years Dinner which is reservations only! Speaking about New Years, I have been told that The Little Horsefly Country Band will be at the Community Hall for a Dance.

You will not want to miss this one, so be organized and get a ticket as soon as they are available, they sold out in record time last year!

I went to a meeting at our Community Hall the other evening, it was put on by Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration, the speakers were Twila Skinner, Project Manager, and Ross Sherlock, North American Manager.

They put on a great presentation, as well as answered many questions from the numerous guests. Gold Fields is an international gold mining company based in South Africa. Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration is a subsidiary of it. Gold Fields has been out here in Horsefly now working on the Wood

Jam Property located near the community of Horsefly since 2009. This company is a significant source of our employment in Horsefly. Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration has focused on sourcing goods and services locally from 2009 till 2011. $2.78 million of Gold Fields expenditures have gone directly into the Horsefly community, they have supported all of our local business here. Supporting our many B&Bs in the area, Horsefly Motel, Anvil Pub, Corner House Cafe, Horsefly Service, Hardware store as well as Clarke’s Store. They have also sponsored and participated in many of our local events some being the 4-H, Horsefly Museum, Community Club, Ducks Unlimited, Arts On The Fly, Horsefly Follies, Fire Department, and The Women’s Institute. Gold Fields has Beaupre Drilling from Princeton working with them out here in Horsefly and they also have people from our community that work for them as well. This is an amazing project that is happening out here in Horsefly, I certainly hope that this project progresses, it means a great deal for our little community (things would have a great opportunity to grow). Project Manager Twila Skinner said that they are now wrapping up for the 2012 season to go over all the data and are hoping to be back in early 2013. And speaking of year end I am hosting this group for their year end party so I better get to the grocery store then back to the kitchen to start cooking!

Until next month, cheers!

Berrys give many years of Christmas spirit Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor It's that time of year again – time for a penguin's Christmas at the Berry's house.

For months now, retired school principal Ken Berry has been working away to create his penguin-themed Christmas display that his home on Country Club Boulevard has come known for.

“We tweak it every year,” Berry said as he adjusts Christmas presents on his roof. “So it's not boring.”

“Berry said the day after golf season finishes, he starts working on his Christmas display.

“It gets me outside in the fresh air for five hours a day. I absolutely love it.”

Last Friday, Nov. 23, Berry officially lit up his house for the season, marking 14

The Berrys have used their beautiful Christmas decorations as a fundraiser for children's charities by putting out a collection bird house at their home on Country Club Boulevard. years that the display will uplift the commu-

nity's Christmas spirit as well as acting as a

fundraiser.

“It gave me a goal -

some tangible results,” Berry said.

Berry had been offering his Christmas talents for ten years previous until the idea of putting out a collection bird house to gather donations for 139 Children's Fundraising came to him in 1999.

Since that first year more than $15,790 has been raised for the non-profit society, which raises money for travel expenses for families with sick children.

“My goal is $20,000,” he said, estamating that will take another three years or so.

Once that goal is reached, Berry would like to pass the spirit of Christmas on to someone else, as Berry has already gone through one hip replacement and has two bum knees

that slows him down while he decorates.

“I'm not looking forward to it – but the day's gotta come.”

Berry said he'll never regret all the time put into the project, as it has given to him as much as he to it. Over the years, neighbours have come by with offers of hot chocolate, carolers have come to sing at his doorstep, Santa has made an impromptu visit and even a wedding proposal was made under

The free, festive event, made possible by the Healthy by Nature movement, offers adults and children a chance to make many earth-friendly gifts and decorations

for the holidays, such as bird feeders, table decorations, wrapping paper and, of course, the biggest draw – handmade Christmas Wreath.

The event was so

popular last year that it has been expanded to two times the fun this year: Fri. Nov. 30 from 5 to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 10 to 3 p.m..

There will be food

on hand also, but everyone is welcome to bring a holiday snack to share. Also, those who made a Christmas wreath last year are asked to bring back their tire rim.

Hospice Palliative Care Society, the Memory Tree program allows anyone to record the name of their departed loved ones in the Society's memory book and be apart of a special service and tree lighting at City Hall Sunday,

Dec. 2.

During the nondenominational service, set to take place from 3 – 4:30 p.m. in council chambers, names listed in the Memory Book will be read aloud.

There will also be carols and refreshments

offered before the tree is lit at 4:30 p.m.

The hospice society will accept donations and record names in the Memory Book from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Nov. 19 to 30 at Save-On-Foods.

2012 Yuletide Christmas Dinner Submitted by Vanessa Riplinger Plans for the 15th Annual Yuletide Christmas Feast are moving right along.

The dinner is a gift from the members of the Williams Lake Community, to anyone experiencing lean times this season. Lean times need not mean only shortage of funds for a traditional feast, but perhaps lean on company to celebrate the season.

The Yuletide Dinner was held at the Ramada Convention Center (Overlander) with

many thanks to Lindsey Gasparini and all the staff for donating many hours of their time preparing and serving the dinner. The dinner fed over 600 people last year, and this year we expect that number to increase.

The Ramada Convention Center has graciously offered to once again host this year’s Yuletide Christmas Dinner.

Thanks in advance to Lindsey Gasparini, and all the staff at the Ramada for their incredible gift to the community of Williams Lake.

The dinner will be served at the Ramada Convention Center between 4-7pm on Wednesday December 5, 2012. The cost of sponsoring an individual plate is $10.00 and the cost of a family of four is $40.00. This promises to be a joyful and festive occasion with great food and entertainment.

Vanessa Riplinger of the Child Development Centre is organizing the 15th Annual Yuletide Dinner. This entire event is a volunteer effort. If you would like to donate

money donations can be dropped off at the Child Development Centre at 690 N 2nd Avenue. The cost of a plate of food is $10.00 (Please note the Yuletide Dinner Group is a registered group for tax receipt purposes).

Thanks to all the volunteers that are already promising to make the Yuletide Dinner wonderful. Thanks in advance to all the support anticipated from our generous community and welcome to all of you coming to dine, and joining in the festivities.

This event has been held for many years in our community and many people look forward to it and attend every year.

IN THEATRES FLIGHT Captain Whittaker ( D e n z e l Washington), a seasoned airline pilot, miraculously crash lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving nearly every one of the 102 passengers on board.

After the crash, he’s hailed as a hero, but as the investigation grows and the blood test he gave the night of the accident shows he had alcohol in his system, more questions than answers arise as to who or what was at fault and what really happened on that plane?

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS When an evil spirit known as Pitch the Bogeyman (Jude Law) tries to take over the world by inspiring fear in the hearts of children, the immortal Guardians, aka heroes from different childhood stories—Jack Frost (Chris Pine), Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), Sandman and Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin)—must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world.

The film is based on William Joyce’s book The Guardians of Childhood however, there are some differences between the book and the movie. The book explores the origins of the characters while the film shows how these characters function in present time. One of the reasons for making them difference was so that audiences wouldn’t compare the book to the movie. So, according to the author, the book served as more of an inspiration for the world in the movie as opposed to being the basis of its plot.

Last Week’s Answers

of having anything else to eat because it is so traditional. In terms of what I might cook for Christmas dinner, I like to take the time to see what is in the store now and when I walk around I see things I had not thought about

for some time, maybe something like sweet potatoes. So upon seeing the tuber I change my mind about dinner and add some sweet potato to the menu. I also conjure up some thought about how I might cook the sweet potatoes and decide perhaps I could serve them as fries and cook them in the oven while the turkey is getting done.
