Ice fishing fun for kids Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The weather was perfect for families participating in the second annual ice fishing fun day at Chimney Lake Saturday. Under sunny blue skies, at least a dozen girls and boys tried their luck at the sport with the help of staff from the Child Development Centre and local Conservation Officer Service, who volunteered their outdoor skills for the fun event. “She really wants to catch a fish,” said mom Navdeep Gill, whose seven-year-old daughter Pavneet was all smiles as she put in a line. “Last year she actually caught a fish, but she was too busy playing and lost it!” Teenagers Alyssa Wheeler and Danika Volkman, who fished in an ice fishing tent, both said they thought ice fishing was fun but “cold.” In a much different role than they usually play, Conservation Officers Darryl Ashworth, Jeff Tyre and Sgt. Len Butler were more than happy to light the stove, get the hot dogs ready and generally be helpers to all the boys and girls. “It’s an opportunity for us to give back to the community,” said Ashworth, of volunteering for the event. “And, it’s fun.” The Child Development Centre has operated in Williams Lake since 1975 and provides assessments, treatment, eduAngie Mindus photo cation and assistance to children with Teenagers Alyssa Wheeler and Danika Volkmann test their luck at ice fishing on Chimney special needs and their families.

RCMP: Officer

Judgement reserved in assault trial

Angie Mindus photo

Jamie Haller and her mother Martina Jeff are interviewed outside of the Williams Lake Courthouse by the CBC's Marissa Harvey last Wednesday after Provincial Court Judge Randall Callan reserved judgement on the Yung case. Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The fate of a Williams Lake RCMP officer now lies in the hands of a Provincial Court Judge, after the assault trial against Const. Andy Yung wrapped up last week. Opposing sides in the closely-watched trial against Yung will be awaiting a verdict for the next few weeks as the Honourable

Judge Randall Callan reserved judgement to review what he called “weighty legal issues” presented by both Crown and Defense. Crown counsel Lori Stevens and Defense attorney Rod Gregory made their final submissions to Callan in the case last Wednesday, Jan. 23, after a three-day trial in Williams Lake Provincial Court.

Crown called three of Yung’s colleagues to testify against him, as well as civilian witnesses, a doctor and the complainant in the case, now 18-year-old Jamie Haller and her mother Matina Jeff. Yung also took the stand in his own defense. The undisputed facts of the case are that Yung punched Haller several times in

the face “as hard as he could” while the teen’s arms were handcuffed behind her back and she was half laying on the seat of a police cruiser. A resident living near Nesika elementary had called police earlier on Haller’s behalf, who was reported to be screaming and running in the area because, she said, she was afraid and being chased by a group of young men. The police officers also agreed they had responded to the call with the intention of helping Haller. In the end however Haller spent the night in jail with a badly swollen and bruised face as the result of the incident with Yung. Yung said Haller put him in a scissor hold when he entered the car to stop her from kicking the window bars of the RCMP car. Testimony throughout the trial indicated that Haller was attempting to, or had kicked the arresting officers, though she had no memory of that.

Defense submitted that Haller had a “memory of convenience” and was not a reliable witness due to alcohol consumption. Crown submitted that Const. Yung entered the car because he was “sick and tired” of Haller and that Haller did not get him in a hold until after he started punching her. Stevens said Yung’s evidence was “inconsistent, unrealistic and in some instances almost fantastical.” She also pointed out there was no evidence to support that there was an “emergency to stop this girl from kicking the car.” As well as getting a sense of who may be telling the truth, Judge Callan must also consider several case law presented at trial, some of which argues the extent of what might be considered excessive force used by a police officer. Crown and defense both complimented the testimony given by Const. Daniel Hay, Yung’s colleague, whom Crown called “refreshingly honest.”

RCMP briefs On Friday, Jan. 25 at 4:41 p.m. RCMP received a call that an IPAD was stolen from a residence on 11th AVE N. The complainant said that his door was unlocked and there was no forced entry and no one was home at the

City wants mediation with Regional District Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor More than a month after pulling out of a written deal to provide fringe fire protection for Cariboo Regional District residents, the City of Williams Lake is asking the CRD enter into mediation with them. “The City of Williams Lake values its relationship with the Cariboo Regional District, and as such, will ask the District to enter mediation with the City on the rural fringe fire protection issue as soon as possible,” the City stated in a news release Thursday. But, judging from a public meeting held Jan. 17 between CRD staff, directors and

Angie Mindus photo

Cariboo Regional District CAO Janis Bell and financial officer Scott Reid discuss options with fringe residents. affected residents of the Williams Lake Fringe Fire Protection area, that gesture may be too little, too late. At that meeting the CRD’s Chief Operating Officer, Janis Bell,

advised CRD residents of their options going forward; continue with legal action against the City to enforce the agreement the City backed out of, negotiate a new contract at

the mercy of the City or establish a separate fire protection service for the rural area. Just days before that meeting, the CRD had already filed a Notice of Civil Claim in B.C. Supreme Court to get the legal process underway. Now the City has 21 days to respond to the Notice of Civil Claim. “Entering mediation as soon as possible would save time and allow for plenty of discussions before the April 30 court ordered injunction is set to expire,” stated the City. In response to the City's request for mediation, Bell told local media she would be waiting to hear the wishes of the CRD resi-

dents before committing to anything. The CRD already spent $15,000 in legal fees when they filed a court injunction days before Christmas to ensure residents had fire protection coverage past Dec. 31. 2012. At their public meeting, Bell reviewed the history and costs of dealing with the City, and went through the pros and cons of setting up their own fire hall compared to signing another contract. In the past few years Bell said rural residents have been paying on average $190 per $100,000 assessed value compared with that of their city counterparts, who paid approximately $63 per $100,000 assessed value. The new deal struck last fall would have seen a more fair distribution of rates, with rural residents paying about $129 per $100,000

assessed value while city residents would pay about $72 per $100,000 assessed value. “The City chose not to honour that deal,” Bell said. Bell told residents even if they won a court battle with the City at the rate agreed upon, residents would still be paying almost double what city residents pay with no certainty of future rates and no ownership of the infrastructure. Starting their own fire hall, however, would be significantly cheaper (conservative estimates put the rate at no more than $100 per $100,000 assessed value) and residents would own the infrastructure and have a say in its future. Bell said last year, the CRD’s 150 Mile Fire Department responded to 20 structure fires and MVIs while

the Wildwood Fire Department responded to 24. The tax rate for those fire halls are $68 and $112 per $100,000 assessed value respectively. Bell said it costs the City almost $2M per year to operate the Williams Lake Fire Hall while it costs neighbouring Quesnel just under $1M. The annual debt servicing payment alone for the Williams Lake Fire Hall is about $500,000 per year about the same figure the City were to get from the deal with the CRD fringe residents. The CRD is surveying its residents to determine what they want to do. That survey is open until Jan. 28 at 4:30 p.m. The next public meeting for CRD residents is Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room.

A report from the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society received by Council last week shows that the total amount of water being consumed by city users has dropped 20% since 2006. The

report was prepared to assess the work of the Water Wise education program, a partnership between the City and the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society. In the summer of 2006, the City of

Williams Lake entered into a fee for service agreement to educate the public on the benefits of conserving water in the community. The Cariboo Conservation Society achieved this by hosting large public events, such as Earth Day, radio and newspaper ads, displays set up at public buildings including the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex & City Hall, children’s day camps, and provided a very comprehensive education program in the public school system with emphasis on the primary grades three and four. Through this educational program the City and the Cariboo Conservation Society’s intentions were to reduce the amount of water the community was using for its day to day use, which in turn would reduce the stress being put on the aquifer that the City draws its water from. The reduction in water use is among all users (industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential), but it cannot be determined where the largest reduction in daily usage is, as not all water services are metered.

Schools set to close and reconfigure Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Students, teachers and staff of School District 27 are trying to move forward this week in the wake of the Board of Trustee’s historic vote to close and reconfigure several schools in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

The votes came down last Tuesday evening (Jan. 24) before a full house at the board office. In the end, trustees voted unanimously to close Glendale Elementary School and Kwaleen Traditional Elementary School in Williams Lake, and Buffalo Creek

Elementary School and 100 Mile House Junior Secondary in the south. In a surprising move the Board voted not only to keep Wildwood Elementary K-3 open, but actually increase its capacity to offer a full K-6 program. Trustees said the school offered an excellent First Nations

program and also was one of the few schools predicted to see enrollment increase in the future. Trustee Doug Neufeld was the only trustee who didn’t agree with the Widlwood decision, arguing it didn’t change long bus rides, it wasn’t fair or consistent with the

Angie Mindus photo

School District 27 Trustee Jackie Austin tells the crowd at last week's special school board meeting that trustees heard "loud and clear" that Williams Lake residents do not want a Grade 7-12 high school, and announced plans for a one school, two campus model that separately houses Grades 7-9 and Grades 10-12.

Police briefs On Saturday, Jan. 26 at noon a complaint was received from an individual that his blue 1989 Chevy truck had been broken into while parked at an apartment building on 1st Ave N. The owner of the vehicle advised that someone had kicked in the back window of the truck, but there was nothing missing. Police confirmed that the back window of the truck was smashed and that it looked as though the vehicle had been rummaged through. No suspects have been identified. Later that day police received a complaint that a purse was stolen from an unlocked work vehicle. The owner said her Visa had been used at a business in Williams Lake and that as a result had her Visa canceled right away. The matter is still under investigation.

other school closure decisions and that it, like other rural schools on the fringes of cities, will always be at risk of closure. “Are we delaying the inevitable,” Neufeld questioned. In Williams Lake, the Board also chose to go ahead and reconfigure the high schools to a one school, two campus model however ammending their initial plan by offering predominately Grades 7-9 housed in one location and predominately Grades 10-12 housed in another. Trustee Jackie Austin said they heard “loud and clear” during consultation that parents didn’t want their young Grade 7 children in the same high school as Grade 12 students. She said the decision to continue with the one school, two campus model allows for administrative savings as well as for highly motivated students or those students who fall behind, to pick up the extra classes they need while staying with their peer group. Neufeld added they need to do their best to have as few school

transitions as possible, because statistics show they lose vulnerable students in transitions. “We have a problem with graduation and marginalized students in our programs,” Neufeld said, pointing out in SD 27 only 36 per cent of First Nations and only 67 per cent of non-First Nations graduate from high school. During consultation, Neufeld said they also heard how students wanted more choices. “I really think this (new reconfiguration) is a win-win situation.” In the south, trustees amended their plan to reconfigure the high schools by including the Grade 8s into its Grade 8-12 reconfiguration at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School. Through consultation, trustees said they heard the public wanted Grade 8s at the high school level for greater course selection. Superintendent Mark Thiessen said the lion’s share of the administrative work involved in reconfiguring schools will have to be done before Spring Break.

Selanne and Jagr still producing Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor In the Vancouver Canucks home opener on Friday, Jan. 18 they were run out of their own building by four unanswered secondperiod goals from the Anaheim Ducks on route to a 7-3 loss. A 42-year-old Teemu Selanne picked up four points in the win passing Dale Hawerchuck for 18th on the NHL’s all-time points list with

1411. Ironically, that same night a 40-yearold Jaromir Jagr also picked up four points for his new team the Dallas Stars, leaving many people wondering if they were back in the nineties. Jagr and Selanne are the only two active players in the NHL in the top fifty in all-time scoring and the two highest scoring nonNorth American skaters. Jagr sits eighth on

the all-time points list at 1657 points, trailing long-time Pittsburgh team-mate Mario Lemieux in seventh at 1723. What makes the Czech Republic star’s accomplishments more impressive is the four seasons Jagr spent playing in Russia’s KHL which would have put him likely over 2000 career points. Mark Messier sits second in all-time scoring with 1887 points

and four more years in the league would have put Jagr ahead of him, only trailing some guy named Gretzky. Selanne should be able to pass Doug Gilmour (1414), Adam Oates (1420), Bryan Trottier (1425) this season and move into the top 15. The next highest scoring active player is Ottawa’s Daniel Alfredsson way down the list in 58th.

It’s amazing what just a week can bring. After the Canucks dropped their first two games of the season and starting goalie Corey Schneider was coming off his worst performance as a Canuck, things weren’t looking good. There were plenty of calls for

panic as the Canucks had lost key player David Booth to a groin injury and Ryan Kesler is still on the shelf recovering from surgery. However, after a shootout victory over Calgary and a convincing 5-0 hammering of those same Anaheim

Ducks who destroyed Vancouver 7-3 a week earlier, things are back to normal. Schneider picked up his fifth shutout of the season and looks to have regained last season’s form. In the Calgary game, the much maligned Zach Kassian, who the

Canucks traded rising star Cody Hodgson for last season, came up big with a regulation goal and the shoot-out winner. Canucks fans feel they were fleeced in that trade and it was nice to see Kassian quiet the naysayers for the time-being.

Things back to normal in Canuckland

Kaepernicking for Super Bowl With Super Bowl Sunday just four days away we can’t forget about football. All sports fans remember Tebow-mania that erupted last season and Tim Tebow’s trademark celebration where he’d get down on one knee and put his right fist to his forehead and say a prayer known as "Tebowing." It looks

like this year’s trademark of “Kaepernicking” is starting to gain momentum. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick celebrates by kissing his heavily tattooed bicep during his football celebrations. I’ve tried to get into the Super Bowl spirit during some intense floor-hockey games with my Grade

5,6,7 class at Alexis Creek by Kaepernicking as my post-goal celebration. Unfortunately, it only results in an unimpressed look from the students. Kaepernick filed a trademark for "Kaepernicking" earlier this month. He plans to start using it on clothing, but specifically T-shirts. One compa-

ny, Sportiqe, is already authorized to officially make "Kaepernicking" shirts. They are sold online for both men and women at $35 each. This will be the first ever Super Bowl where neither teams’ quarterback, Baltimore’s Joe Flacco or Kaepernick have ever been to a single Pro Bowl.

Robert Nichol Here’s a nice thought. Dogs are not only loving companions who crave your affection and give theirs most freely, but they also teach you to release yourself in love as they themselves, set the example. Dog lovers well know this. And they do no doubt, contribute to your heath and well-being. However, I have come to realize, puppies are to be considered, quite another matter. I have three dogs and one of them was pregnant. Now I have seven dogs. To my delight, the Shelties mated and the female named “Mickey”

came through with four puppies. Now, the adage, ‘Be careful what you wish for,' couldn’t be more true in my case. Okay, so they’re cute as a bug and very endearing, yet they have been nothing but a challenge for me. The first one? I heard a squeal at 6:30 a.m. and our little Mickey was giving birth. Then I did what every other redblooded male would do when witnessing a birthing - I panicked! Calling the ranch lady down the road was my only option other than midwifery. She came in a flash and having handily helped birth many an

animal, was on top of her game. Thank God. Then I built this skookum puppy pen which I felt was basically foolproof. Guess who ended up being the fool here? They kept getting out. So far there have been eight breakouts. I called it “The Great Escape”, in honour of Steve McQueen. (Even he would be impressed.) I finally won the last round, although I had to resort to bricking them in to Supermax prison standards. There is only so much a prisoner can do especially when they only weight three kilos facing up to a determined male con-

tender of 170 pounds. Also I, who have played executive roles in organizations and having had many management responsibilities in my life, was not going to let a pack of pups get the best of me. Yet I couldn’t for the life of me, get on top of puppy managing. I am loath to admit, they outsmarted me at every turn. A child at 12 weeks would be helpless, not these little beggars. If I had a combination lock, I am sure they would figure it out. You can get easily caught as they look at you with innocent little faces, but don’t you dare turn your back. They

The CDC along with the local Conservation Officer Service teamed up for the second annual event, which sees families and children who are clients of the CDC enjoy a day out fishing with the help of volunteer conservation officers.

Heavenly puppies plan the great escape are just too capable of wrecking anything within their reach. Some may call it playful, but I know that all puppies’ mission in life, is to create as much havoc as they possibly can. To wit, I never knew that a small six inch play ball, combined with four fourteen inch puppies, could create such a mess. Fluff, more than imaginable, scattered itself across the room. I felt like a cotton picker. Actually, I started to have dizzy spells from constantly bending over. In middle of all this, one of them had the audacity to pee on my leg, but I soldiered on and

did my duty cleaning up the puppy poop. (There were no appreciative glances.) Now to tell you the truth, I’m not what you might consider, a loyal subject to the Queen. Nevertheless, I’m slightly resentful that her flock of Corgis has a fleet of personal handlers. According to a recent documentary on the CBC entitled; “Serving the Royals”, these dogs are Her Majesty’s close's companions, but they are not very house trained. They do their mess on irreplaceable medieval carpets. I bet she doesn’t set the example for the

‘poop and scoop’ rule. Others are there to do it for her. I have no others. So I will not give you any more distasteful details or bring my self to even more selfeffacing comments. All in all, when one sums up the game, it was; Puppies one, Me, zero. Yes, I have had my life lesson where puppies are concerned. At least one good idea came out of it.

B. C. politics just get weirder and weirder By Bob Simpson MLA Cariboo North Just when you think politics in BC canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any weirderâ&#x20AC;Ś Last week, the BC Liberals held a $125-a-ticket political fundraiser in Calgary with BC Energy Minister Rich Coleman and Communities Minister Bill Bennett in attendance to collect the cheques. Premier Clark may have picked a fight with Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier over the Enbridge pipeline, but Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business elite publicly admitted they are more afraid of the NDP than they are the Liberal Premier, even if she is thwarting a major pipeline project. The Premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s justification for going out of province to fundraise is that Alberta business leaders have a vested interest in BC politics and they have the right to try and protect that interest with their money. That rationalization proves political donations are to buy

influence, providing more evidence that we must reform our election finance laws. The NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to this fundraiser was to confirm that they too accept donations from out-of-province companies, individuals and organizations. BC elections should only be influenced by BC voters. That principle should apply to both votes and political donations. Only BC residents and only individuals (not corporations or unions) should be allowed to donate to BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political parties. BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political weirdness continued with the announcement that as much as $12 million of taxpayer money will be spent to host a Bollywood awards gala within weeks of the provincial election in May. The claimed potential return to the BC economy: as little as $13 million, little more than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll invest in the event. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note that the South

Asian community is a large and growing voting bloc in urban and suburban BC. This is clearly an attempt to use your tax money to buy those votes. The NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the cost of this event for taxpayers was lackluster in comparison to their recent criticism of

government advertising. They want to attract the South Asian vote too, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not attacking the fundamental question of whether hosting the Times of India Movie Awards is an appropriate way to spend tax money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like paying taxes:

British Columbiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hard-earned money is being spent on events they could never afford to attend, even as public services are being cut by a government that claims itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broke. Tax money should be spent on public services, not galas for BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elites.

Water Wise program helps encourage water usage reduction The total amount of water being consumed by city users has dropped 20% since 2006. In the summer of 2006, the City of Williams Lake entered into a fee for service agreement to educate the public on the benefits of conserving water in the community. The Cariboo Conservation Society achieved this

by hosting large public events, such as Earth Day, radio and newspaper ads, displays set up at public buildings including the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex & City Hall, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day camps, and provided a very

comprehensive education program in the public school system with emphasis on the primary grades three and four. In order to assist the conservation effort, the City has offered residents rebates low-flow

toilets and water-efficient washing machines and dishwashers, which have seen a high rate of interest. The reduction in water use is among all users (industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential), but it

cannot be determined where the largest reduction in daily usage is, as not all water services are metered. However, as with most communities, it has been suggested that the industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors of any community do not use any more water than they need to complete their operation. Assuming this is correct, the lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of water reduction is from the residential users.

For Glendale Elementary, which houses both French Immersion and Balanced Calendar Schools of Choice, trustees announced they would save the Balanced Calendar and house the students and their unique program at Cataline Elementary. “Perhaps this could be a trend for the future,” said Trustee Sheila Boehm. For months now, parents of the Balanced Calendar tearfully fought for their pro-

gram’s survival. French Immersion students were already slated to attend Nesika Elementary if the Board chose to close Glendale. Kwaleen students and parents who fought hard to save their school and traditional program, lost both last Tuesday evening. They were, however, saved from being completely torn apart when the trustees amended their initial plan by allowing all catchment and non-catchment students of Kwaleen to move to Chilcotin Road Elementary School. More than 90 students attend Kwaleen, located on scenic South Lakeside Drive. The decision will require the addition of three to four portables being relocated to the site, however trustees said the school has had that many portables on site in year’s past. A d d i t i o n a l l y, Chilcotin Road will receive some updates to its washrooms and park-

ing lot to handle the estimated 90 or so students who may choose to go to the school. And since the trustees put their support behind Wildwood, they are hoping the school can bolster its population with families in that catchment encouraged to return home to support their neighbourhood school. In the south, disappointed families of Buffalo Creek elementary will have their students rerouted to nearby Forest Grove Elementary, if they choose to go there. At last Tuesday’s meeting Lac La Hache narrowly missed its school being put on the 90-day consultation for closure. An emotional PAC parent Jenny Tanner and other parents and students spoke to the Board at the start of last week’s meeting to plead their case to the Board. The speakers said Lac La Hache Elementary is the heart of their com-

In the end Trustees Boehm and Austin were out-voted in their efforts to revisit Lac La Hache for closure.

Neufeld said Lac La Hache could be compared to Wildwood as being socially important to its community and he wouldn’t support its closure after keeping Wildwood open. Other trustees said the effort to reexamine Lac La Hache was too ambitious considering everything else the district has on its plate for the upcoming year.

TALKING TAXES

Disability may qualify for tax relief

Canadians living with disabilities are eligible for a number of tax breaks designed to compensate for the extra expenses incurred. Even if you haven’t claimed your disability in the past, you may want to check if you qualify this year. The guidelines have recently been modified to include more Canadians. What does ‘disabled’ mean? A disability is a severe impairment which makes it extremely difficult or timeconsuming for you to carry out basic activities of daily living, even if you are undergoing therapy and using appropriate devices and medications. The impairment must last or be expected to last 12 months and severely restrict your ability to see, walk, speak, hear or perform personal care activities or seriously affect your mental capacity to manage your personal affairs. The definition has been expanded to allow for the cumulative effect of multiple impairments that individually would not be severe enough to qualify. For example, a taxpayer with multiple sclerosis who constantly experiences fatigue, depressed mood and balance problems will probably now

qualify. Additional modifications also make it easier for sufferers of Type 1 juvenile diabetes to claim the disability credit. Generally, diabetics only qualify if their condition requires “life-sustaining therapy” for at least three times a weeks for a total of at least 14 hours. In the past, taxpayers who controlled their condition with a syringe generally did not qualify under this provision. This is because Canada Revenue Agency took into account only the time administering the insulin when determining if the 14-hour requirement was met. However, the government has added the monitoring of blood sugar levels and dosage requirements to the types of activities that constitute therapy. As a result, more diabetics should now qualify. But before you start adding up your expenses, you must first file Form T2201 – the Disability Tax Credit Certificate – with your return. The form has to be completed by a doctor, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, psychologist, physiotherapist or speech language pathologist and is used by the CRA to determine if your disability meets the prescribed requirements. What credits are available?

For 2012, the basic federal disability claim is $7,546, which translates into a federal tax credit of $1,131. The provincial tax savings vary depending on where you are living. Because it is a non-refundable credit, it only works to reduce your tax payable – it is not refunded if you don’t have any tax owing. If you don’t use the entire credit, you may be able to transfer it to someone else, such as a spouse or parent. For disabled children under 18, there is also a $4,402 supplement, which will increase the maximum federal claim to $11,948. However, this amount is reduced by child care expenses and attendant care expenses in excess of $2,578 that were claimed for the child. Disabled children can also qualify for the new $500 Children’s Fitness Credit, including an additional $500 tax credit for any additional equipment that needs to be purchased to participate in an activity. There are cases when taxpayers support a relative who does not meet the strict definition of “disabled,” but is still dependant by reason of an infirmity. If the dependant lives with you and has net income of less than $15,033 you may be able to claim a caregiver amount of up to

$4,402, for a potential federal tax break of $660. If the dependant does not live with you, you may still be able to claim an amount for infirm dependants if his or her net income is less than $6,420. However, in both cases, the dependant must be at least 18 at the end of the year. Each province also has its own disability and caregiver credits. Be sure to check the provincial credits available to you. Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) The 2007 Federal Budget introduced the WITB designed to help lower-income Canadians transition into the workforce. For disabled taxpayers, the WITB supplement will be equal to 25 percent of earned income in excess of $1,150, up to a maximum of $485. The amount will be reduced for single taxpayers with no dependants with a net income in excess of $17,478 and for families with a net family income in excess of $26,952. Additional expenses In some cases, an attendant is required to help care for the disabled person. The cost of attendant care can be claimed as a medical expense. However, if the attendant care cost exceeds $10,000, you cannot claim both the expenses and the disability

amount – you have to decide which credit results in the most tax savings. If you incur disability-related expenses in order to work or go to school, you may also be able to claim a deduction for them. For example, if you require a teletypewriter to make and receive phone calls, you may be able to deduct the cost. If you need an attendant to work or go to school, it will also be more beneficial to claim the cost under this provision instead of as a medical expense. Check the government’s guidelines on these deductions to make sure yours qualify. A tax professional at H&R Block can talk about other credits and deductions that may affect you.

You want to claim what?

It is tax time and it is the time of year when people are willing to try just about anything to legally reduce their tax bill. So before you collect your receipts and start preparing your tax return, here are a few deductions other taxpayers have tried to claim. Some were successful, while others weren’t. Though pets are considered by many to be members of the family, they are not dependants. Even if you give them people names, your dog or cat cannot be a tax deduction. The only exception is if they work for you. A

Advertise your

farmer was allowed to claim cat and dog food because the pets were outdoors and kept the wildlife away from the blueberries. The tax courts do not always side with taxpayers on medical expenses. You cannot claim the cost of trips to Las Vegas and Arizona even if your dermatologist recommended trips to warmer climates to help treat your psoriasis. Over-the-counter medications are another claim that will be denied. The Canada Revenue Agency does not consider these eligible medical expenses even

if a doctor recommends the medication. Many people incur expenses directly related to their job but, unfortunately, most of these cannot be claimed against employment income. For the professional football player who threw balls into the stands, the cost was an expense he had to pay himself. For the serviceman required to get a haircut every two weeks, it was still considered a personal expense. The good news is the $1,095 Canada Employment Amount can be claimed by anyone with earned income. If you earned $1,095 or more, you can claim the full amount. Otherwise, it is linked to how much you earned. The credit

helps to offset some of the expenses involved with having a job. For many claims, the decision can involve the expectation of profit. If you find a small treasure while snorkeling, you probably don’t need to worry about reporting it. However, sunken treasure is not considered a nontaxable receipt when the venture is clearly a business. If you experience gambling losses while in Las Vegas, you cannot claim them on your tax return if you are pathological gambler with no reasonable expectation of profit. And if you are thinking of arguing that the tax act is simply too difficult to understand, it has already been tried. One taxpayer argued

that the Income Tax Act is “not susceptible of discernment by the average occupant of this land” – basically the average Canadian couldn’t expect to understand the document. The tax court ruled this is not a valid defense against the charge of failing to file income tax returns. But it never hurts to ask – the tax court may rule in favour of that interesting claim.

The Cariboo Driving and Draft Horse Club is again hosting its annual Valentine's Ride on Sunday February 10th from 11a.m. -3 p.m. It will be at the end of Anderson Road and is a great opportunity to bring your sweetheart for a romantic ride.

Club hosts Valentine's Ride The Cariboo Driving and Draft Horse Club is hosting its annual Valentine's Ride on Sunday February 10th from 11a.m. -3 p.m. The ride will be at the end of Anderson Road, five kilometres up Dog Creek Road on your

left. Rides are by donation, and as usual there will be a concession provided by the club. This year the club hopes to have four teams, and two single horses, pulling sleighs through the beautiful snowy scenery.

Come, bring your sweetheart, or your family, and enjoy the day with the Cariboo Driving and Draft Horse Club! For more information, call 250-392-7537. And remember there's often good snow up there even if there is not in town!

A new report estimates the cost to move and restore the Station House Gallery will exceed $1 Million. Council recently received the Williams Lake Railway Station Building Condition Assessment and Redevelopment Options report, which assesses the Station House Gallery’s structural condition, review fire and life safety conditions, develops two schematic redevelopment options for the building, and provides cost estimates based on the schematic design drawings. The report found that overall, the building’s structure is sound and adequate for its intended use as an art gallery, and included three potential site plans for the building. Estimates for restoration of the building, either at the current

Station House gallery site, or at a site previously identified, the Royal Bank parking lot at the corner of 4th Avenue and Borland Street, are approximately $1.1 million. A number of heritage and community grants have been identified as possible funding sources. In 2010, as the City was evaluating the costs of stabilizing the building in its current location, the question arose if it made sense to spend funds to construct a new basement and undertake repairs to the building on the current site or move the building to a more visible location in the community. In March 2011, a grant application for provincial funding through the Towns for Tomorrow program was denied, and as such, no work was completed on the gallery.

At its January 22 meeting, Council resolved to refer this issue to the Community Services Committee to develop a set of goals and objectives for the Station House Gallery building, and to present them back to Council. “This project remains an important one, but it will require a partnership with a senior level of government to make it a reality,” says Mayor Cook. “I look forward to the report from the Community Services Committee as we look for ways to move forward.”

Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions by the numbers 190 million:The number of greeting cards exchanged for the holiday. Valentine’s Day comes in second to Christmas for the most number of greeting cards sent. 119: The number of single men in their 20s per 100 single women of the same age. 6,000: The number of weddings that take place every day in the United States. 144: The number of years the chocolate box has been around. The first Valentine’s Day box of chocolates was created and introduced by Richard Cadbury in 1868. 1415: The year in which the first Valentine’s Day card was sent. 72: The percentage of Canadians who plan to give something on Valentine’s Day. 1,000: The approximate number of letters mailed to Verona, Italy and addressed to Juliet every February 14. 3: The percentage of pet owners who will buy a gift for their pet. 1: The ranking given to teachers in terms of most Valentine’s Day cards received. Numbers 2 and 3 belong to children and mothers. 37: The percentage of workers who have dated someone at work. 15: The percentage of women who send themselves flowers on this day. 2.5 billion: The dollar amount spent on jewelry for Valentine’s Day.

Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers. Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. • Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival.

Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. • The Catholic Church acknowledges

at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. • All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. • Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. • The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of

Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. • Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the

United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. • Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are the most popular holidays to give flowers.

RCMP/Caribou Ski team earn first futsal win Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor The RCMP/Caribou Ski picked up their first victory ever in the Williams Lake Men’s Futsal League last Tuesday. It was three years in the making but they were able to earn a hard-fought 3-1 victory over the Hogs. After starting the season 0-10 Caribou Ski finally found the win column with a solid all-around performance. Warren Brown led the offence with a pair of goals. In action from January 15 it was Windsor Plywood dumping Caribou Ski 8-1 in the early game. Randy Cobb led the Windsor charge with a hat trick, while Andrew Cobb and Derek Funk also picked up a goal each in the win. Brendan Charna had the lone goal for Caribou Ski. In game two it was the Hogs defeating United Carpet/Teachers

5-3. Nick Lachetta had four goals and Robin Dieck added a single. Dave Peever was the winning netminder. Grant Gustafson and Curt Levens both tallied for United Carpet. In the late game Blues United hammered Boston Pizza 9-1.Luke Moger had a hat trick, Ryan Brown added a pair, and Mike Holm, Mike Waterhouse and Rhys Ungar all added singles. Brandon ‘The Magician’ Phillips had the lone goals for B.P.’s. It’s a three-horse-race for top spot in the league standings. Blue United and United Carpet sit tied for first place at 25 points with identical 8-2-1 win-loss-tie record. Windsor Plywood is right there in third spot just two points off the pace with a 7-2-2 record and 23 points.

Williams Lake wrestlers bring home medals By Sonia Conrad Williams Lake Wrestling Club It's been a very busy start to 2013 for the Wrestling Club. We brought six athletes down to Kamloops Western Age Class on Jan 11-12 2013. This was a qualification tournament for Nationals with over 700 athletes competing. They also held a mini Elementary tournament on Saturday. Day One of competition saw all five of our high school students make it through to semi finals and finals, which were held on the Saturday. This tournament is the largest high school tournament in Western Canada, with competitors as far as Saskachewan coming to compete. It was also a good look at what and who will be competing in Provincials this year. Grade 5 student Zane Barr was our only elementary athlete who attended this tournament. He fought hard and placed fifth in his 44kg weight class. This was his first tournament this year and did amazing. In the School girl division (grade 7/8) we had two girls compet-

ing. Danielle Schultz was in the 45 kg weight class and fought her way to a Bronze Medal. This is Danielle's first year wrestling and she is doing very well, a natural warrior on the mat. Mikaela Lemon has been wrestling for a few years now, she was in the 74kg weight class. She had four very intense matches in her category winning all four and her bring home her first Gold Medal of the season. In the Cadet Division Grade 9-10 we also had two athletes competing. Columneetza student Peter Fayowski fought his was to another Silver medal win. It is also Peter's first year wrestling, he is dedicated and great asset to the Black and Blue. Braden Conrod took on the challenge of battling up a weight class. He had 29 athletes in the 58 kg weight class. Braden battled hard, although he didn't make the podium, he took a very respectable 10th. It was definitely a challenge! In the Juvenile grade 11-12 division we also had two athletes representing the Black and Blue. Kara Pare made

It was a very tough group with some very skilled young ladies. Kara took seventh overall. Veteran Conlan Sprickerhoff also had an intense weight class. There were 14 young men in the 58kg division, it was stacked full of top provincial placing athletes from around the province. Conlan did extremely well and never gave up. He took a very hard fall in his last match, despite this he finished the match placing 7th overall. Next up was the Kelly Road Invitational in Prince George on Jan.

19th. We took five athletes up to Prince George to compete in this tournament. This is the last chance we will meet our competition before the Provincial Zones coming up on Feb 16th. For this tournament grades 8-12 compete in the same division, broken into weight classes. Most are in round robin format so each athlete is

guaranteed matches. In the 47kg girls weight class rookie Danielle Schultz brought home another Silver Medal win. In the 74kg girls weight class Mikaela Lemon had some tough competition, she battled her way to a very respectable fifth place. In the 54 kg boys division Braden Conrod went undefeated and brought home a Gold Medal for the Black and Blue. In the 90kg boys division Kerry Normand battled his way to a Silver Medal, through some tough competition. In the boys 110kg division Peter Fayowski had some crazy competition, and he took fifth overall.

Stepping Stones offers natural remedies for good health

Nestled in her cozy office next door to The Hobbit House, trained Classical Homeopath Mona Niebergall of Stepping Stones Homeopathy aims to help people and/or animals suffering from illness or disease. “I really want to get the word out that there is a holistic option,” says Niebergall. While she agrees modern medicine plays an important role in our society today, Niebergall says the practice of homeopathy

is a natural alternative that has been around the hundreds of years that people can turn to for the treatment of everything from bee stings to acne to strep throat, shingles, menopause symptoms and even injuries. “The list is endless,”said Niebergall, who has been interested in natural remedies since she was a young adult. “I've been going down this road for a long time. (Homeopathy) was the

Homeopathy finds the root cause of the illness, it is safe and non-toxic. Good for physical, mental and emotional issues for the whole family. Great for animals!

It rings true to me.” Niebergall says homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that uses highly diluted doses of substances to stimulate the body's own healing mechanism to promote health.

She says the practice is based on the principle of “like cures like.” For example, slicing an onion can cause symptoms of burning and watery eyes, as well as sneezing and a running nose, just like those who suffer from hayfever. Using homeopathy, Niebergall said

hayfever sufferers have found a dramatic relief in their condition after taking Allium Cepa (the remedy made from red onions). Also, Niebergall says when she sees a client she takes into account all aspects of their mental, physical and emotional health

deeper. We're looking for longterm results.” Niebergall says she uses plant, animal or mineral products that closely match the person being treated. She has also successfully treated many different types of animals, including cats, dogs and horses. An initial interview with a classical homeopath such as Niebergall will usually take up to two hours. The client will be asked detailed information about about their physical, mental and emotional health as well as likes and dislikes. Of particular interest will be how the client reacts to temperature, weather, and foods and also anything which may have contributed to their illness such as stress, shock, traumas or family history.

United Way gives

Angie Mindus photo

Rrepresentatives from the United Way TNC and Community Impact Council join forces with non-profit groups to help those in need in the community, with more than $97,000 given out last year. Pictured are Back: Kirby Foffonoff, Larry Strandberg, Sherry Exton, Cody Slinn, Lorraine Levitt, Luke Moger, Jessica Knodel, Charles Newberry, Taryn Aumond, Jim Zimmerman.

Council receives 2012 Crime Outlook

Crime rates in 2012 remained below 2008 rates, which are a baseline for the previous 10 years, City Council heard at its Jan. 22 meeting. RCMP Inspector Warren Brown and Safer Community Coordinator Dave Dickson presented Council with a 2012 Crime Statistics Overview, which shows

crime rates up over 2011, but down significantly from the baseline level represented by the 2008 numbers. Calls for service declined by roughly 300 calls between 2012 and 2008, and were just slightly higher in 2012 than 2011. Insp. Brown attributed some of the reduction to the False Alarm Bylaw Council passed in 2011. False

alarms have fallen from nearly 900 in 2008 to less than 600 in 2012. Theft of vehicle declined to roughly 100 in 2012, down from more than 250 in 2008, and up from roughly 30 in 2011. Break and enters to both business and residences also declined from 2008. Domestic violence incidents have increased since both 2008 and

2011, to nearly 100 reported cases from just over 80. It is believed increased awareness and education may be leading to more victims reporting domestic violence than previously. “As Inspector Brown told Council, these are not numbers to be content with, but they show we’re going in the right direction,” says Mayor Kerry Cook.

“Council is exploring more initiatives to help reduce crime and increase safety even further.” The RCMP’s 2012/2013 Annual performance Plan calls for continuing to improve and enhance police and aboriginal relationships, contributing to safer youth, and contributing to community safety.

Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Representatives from a cross section of community groups gathered at the Credit Union last week to show just how far reaching The United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo has become locally. In 2012 the United Way gave out $97,600 worth of funding through its Community Impact Council (CIC) with donations raised from corporate sponsors in the Cariboo. Williams Lake raised $89,800 while 100 Mile House raised $7,800 last year. “I believe in the United Way and what it does for the local community,” says Dr. Ray Saunders, a director with United Way. Saunders said non-profit groups apply for funds, then based on those applications CIC members determine where the needs are in the community, and funds are dispersed accordingly. “Who better knows the needs of the community than community members themselves,” Saunders said, noting the Council has an emergency fund as well to help with unforeseen needs such as the hotel fire last year which displaced families. The United Way has had an increasing influence in the Williams Lake area in the last few years, particularly with the local representation of Melissa Newberry.

POLICE: Briefs

Officers corral out of control pony

On Friday, Jan. 25 at 11:32 p.m. police received a call from EHS/Fire reporting that a male was suffering from smoke inhalation. Police attended a residence on Yorston St, Williams Lake, and spoke to fire department members. As it turned out one of the male occupants in the apartment stated that he was cooking toast that caught on fire causing the apartment to smoke up. He left the residence, however his father was still in the apartment. Police confirmed the cause of the fire with the firearm department. One occupant was taken to the hospital by EHS for smoke inhalation. The fire department vented the premises and no further action was required.

On Jan. 27 at 4:12 a.m. police responded to a call that there was a pony running rampant west on Highway 20. When police arrived in the area the found the pony. The constables attempted to drive in front of the pony and corner it on the side of the road so it could be grabbed. The pony began trying to run away from the police truck and ran speeds of 40 km/h. The pony was finally corralled thanks to one of the police officers rodeo skills. The pony was then walked up to the SPCA where the SPCA took over possession of the animal. The pony was left with the SPCA to be picked up by the owner if/when located. At 7:43 a.m. Jan. 27 the owner of a Chevy pick-up

truck reported that his vehicle had been stolen sometime over night between 22:00 and 07:00 hours while parked at a residence on Dog Creek Road. Police attended scene and noted that there was no sign of forced entry to the vehicle because it had been left unlocked. The owner advised that there was 3/4 a tank of gas. The vehicle was later located by police in Alexis Creek. The matter is still under investigation. On Jan. 27 at 11:28 a.m. police responded to a report that a green 1993 Jeep Cherokee had been broken into while parked at a residence on Dog Creek Road. The jeep rear passenger side window was smashed out to gain entry and then the suspect(s) unlocked

and entered the jeep. While inside the suspect(s) tried to steal the vehicle by breaking the steering column. They were unsuccessful in their attempt and left the jeep, it is believed the suspects then stole a neighbour's truck that was later recovered in Alexis Creek. The attempted theft occurred overnight sometime between 2 a.m. and 11 a.m. On Jan. 27 at 1:30 p.m. police conducted a road check stop at the intersection of Dog Creek Rd/Ottoman Rd, Williams Lake, BC. Approximately 75 vehicles checked. One 90-day Roadside Prohibition was issued, three traffic infraction tickets were issued, and two Notice and Order to repair vehicles were issued.

To place your non-profit event listing you are invited to email no later than Thursday for the following week’s edition of the Cariboo Advisor reporter@caribooadvisor.com

iN THEATRES HANSEL AND GRETEL Fifteen years after they were nearly killed by a witch with a gingerbread house, Hansel and Gretel have become lethal bounty hunters who are devoted to hunting and eliminating all witches who make their hideouts in dark woods. As the notorious Blood Moon approaches, the innocent children of a familiar town on the edge of a forest face a nightmare. Hansel & Gretel meet up with an evil beyond any witch they’ve ever tracked down and killed—and it may hold the secret to their frightening past. WARM BODiES Able to absorb memories from the brains of his victims, teenage zombie R (Nicholas Hoult) finds himself overcome with affection for the girlfriend of one of his victims, Julie (Teresa Palmer), whom he rescues from imminent death at the hands of his cohorts. An unlikely romance results, but Captain Grigio (John Malkovich), the leader of the human group and Julie’s father, refuses to accept R as anything but a monster, leaving R and Julie to set into motion a chain of events that will transform him, his fellow dead and maybe even the whole lifeless world. PARKER Parker (Jason Statham) is a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead. Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider who’s short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition.

HOrOscOpe Aries, you have been living life in the fast lane, but this week you may need to apply the brakes. If you’re not careful, you could miss out on some exciting stuff. Taurus, someone you know may feel like he or she deserves something that you have. Do not validate any jealousy and take the higher road by not engaging the situation. Gemini, provide a steady and strong hand to keep someone you love on the right track. It may not be easy to be so supportive, but do what’s necessary to help a loved one. Cancer, although you are very persuasive this week, you should focus all of your attention on selling yourself to others in the workplace. This can make promotion imminent.

Warm up with week with some nice comfort foods When it is snowing and the thermometer goes south, you can warm your home, heart and stomach with comforting foods and drink. There are other comforting foods that come to mind, as I am writing this column on a cold, very snowy night. A nice pot roast slowly cooked in a crock pot with beef broth, and two or three nice vegetables, a little spice and some herbs, along with a glass of red wine, sounds pretty comforting to me. You use the slow cooker when you are home in the inclement weather, so you can sit down in a cozy chair with a good book. If you want to be

a little more involved, you could try some very good Italian Lasagna Bolognese or other rich pasta dishes. Rich in taste and warmth! Even something so simple as a nice home made macaroni and cheese dish, can be pretty comforting and it is something the kids can make. Get them to find a recipe

and cook up whopping big ole pot of mac and cheese. Gotta like that! Scallop potatoes are another wintertime goody, and even something simple, like steamed spinach with a little balsamic vinegar and some Parmesan cheese, can put on a nice warm glow in cold January weather. I mentioned recently, how soups were a wintertime favourite for many. And for sure, stews also go to the top of favourites, when considering winter time eating. They are easy to make, tasty to eat, can be quick to cook and you can get rid of stuff in the fridge and cupboard that are feeling

their age. Chili is one cold day meal I quite enjoy. Chili can be quick to make or you can let it simmer so all the ingredients get happy together, producing a quality taste. There are more different chili recipes and this is just one of them. It is quick. Homemade Chili 1 pound ground beef 1 onion chopped 1 can stewed tomatoes 1 - 15 ounce can of tomato sauce 1 - 15 ounce can kidney beans 1½ cups water 1 small tsp of chili powder 1 small tsp of garlic powder… add another tsp

if you enjoy more garlic flavor Sea salt and ground pepper to taste Put together the beef and onion in a cooking pot and saute until meat is browned and onion is tender. Add the stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, beans and water. Season with the chili powder, garlic powder along with pepper and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. A nice buttered whole wheat bun and a little cheddar cheese goes nice with the chili. The weather forecast is cold and chili. Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Leo, you might sense that something isn’t quite right this week with a couple of people you know. Don’t be shy about asking questions to get to the bottom of the situation. Virgo, it can be difficult to believe the truth sometimes, especially when the news is not what you want to hear. Don’t let disagreements cloud common sense. Libra, mixing business and pleasure is not the right approach this week. Avoid starting new romantic relationships with someone in the office and focus on work. Scorpio, remember that risk may ultimately bring reward when considering an investment opportunity. With this in mind, you may want go out on a limb this week. Sagittarius, you are on a roll and you probably have no plans to slow down for anyone. Try to slow down and help others if you find yourself with some free time. Capricorn, honesty is the best policy but you do not always have to be so forthcoming with your opinions. Employ tact if you are asked for your opinions on certain issues. Even a minor disagreement could have you licking your wounds, Aquarius. Don’t use this week for sulking. Get back on the horse and dust yourself off.
