Workers walk Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor City services are grinding to a halt this week as both sides in the City labour dispute are digging in for what could be a long strike. According to the City, the Union of Operating Engineers Local 882-B (UOEL) walked away from the negotiating table Monday morning signaling that the parties are at an impasse. “The Union continues to refuse to use the services of a professional Labour Relations Board mediator,” stated the City. The City stated that there are several “unsustainable items” that need to be addressed in negotiations, one being call out pay. City employees who are called in for any reason receive eight hours

of pay regardless of time worked, the City said. The City says this amounts to the majority of the over $250,000 current cost for overtime. For their part, the Union says the City’s bargaining team has created the dispute by demanding concessions and bargaining in bad faith. According to the UOEL, the Union has given the City many proposals which included cost savings that were rejected. “What the residents of Williams Lake need to know is that City Managers have for many years been provided with the same benefit coverage as the rest of the city workers. We now come to know that all Excluded staff have been given a far superior benefit

package that sees them receive full salary while on leave for up to six months, this is one of many superior benefits management have given themselves.” So what do this mean for the rest of the

hockey season? Goodall said the Union has provide a staff to monitor the ice plant, and there are no plans to pull the ice early. Hockey season for the Williams Lake

Mountaineer survives 25-metre fall ice climbing angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor An avid ski mountaineer with a wealth of experience in ski touring and glacier climbing, forester Dev Khurana was inspired to learn the adventure sport of waterfall ice climbing this winter. It would be a decision however that

would ultimately lead him into the battle of his life. “To be quite frank, I thought I was going to die. I thought it was game over. I climbed up into my jacket and waited for death,” Khurana recalls of the ordeal that had him ended up in a 13-hour fight for his life

with broken and shattered bones after free falling as many as 25 metres while practicing alone one morning in December. “It was the most pain I ever felt, it was hysterical pain ... I never knew pain could be that knarly ... it was almost like being electrocuted. To take up his new challenge, Khurana had made use of Whiskey Creek near his home along the Old Soda Creek Road where he has lived for the past three winters off the grid. The creek water had been diverted to run over a 35-metre high cliff of rocks creating a private ice climbing wall in a picturesque setting about 400 to 500 metres away from Khurana’s home. It was early in the climbing season December 3rd, but Khurana was anxious to try out some new equipment and so he set out alone, against the unwritten rules of climbing, to get in a few climbs. Approaching noon, Khurana already climbed the waterfall once without incident and considered going in for lunch but decided to push through for one more climb, despite having the feeling that it was time to quit. “I bullied my inner voice -- I was gung ho and I wanted to do it,” Khurana recalled.

Whiskey Creek provides the water for this icefall, located just off the Old Soda Creek Road, where mountaineer Dev Khurana fell as many as 25-metres and found the strength hours later to crawl out. “There were tons of little voices (telling me to stop).” Khurana said he choose a more difficult line next, repelled down and was climbing back up with ice tools in each hand, secured to what he thought was his life line -- his safety rope, which was new, perhaps slightly thinner than it should have been and getting slick with water and ice as Khurana continued to push upwards while fresh water sprayed down. Khurana recalls pieces of ice feeling brittle under his pick and breaking away as he

looked for a better hold. “I thought ‘It’s getting hairy,’” he said. “But instead of repelling I chose to climb through it and rely on the safety of the device

the impact of landing on his feet. “It was such a shock … I couldn’t isolate the pain. Once the dust settled I was able to do an inventory. Both feet were badly injured, I couldn’t raise my left arm, it hurt to breathe.” Khurana screamed in pain, passing in and out of consciousness, as he lay soaking wet, shivering with hypothermia, hoping a distant neighbour might hear his cries for help. “My mind was ready to die but my body would not give up.” It was 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon when Khurana fell and he estimates he laid at the bottom of the waterfall for about eight hours before coming to the realization he would have to save himself if he wanted to live. “I really had to consult with myself to find the attitude I needed to fight through the pain.” Funny enough one of Khurana’s motivations came in the way of a freshly butchered chicken given to him by a neighbour that was hanging on his porch that Khurana was looking forward to eating for dinner. Thinking of that chicken dinner, his dream of living self sufficiently off the land and a budding love with his girlfriend, Khurana splinted his broken leg See Page 5

Khurana counts his blessings after accident Continued from Page 4 with a stick and some climbing webbing, grabbed another stick for leverage and visualized himself making it up the 40-some metres in elevation and 400 or so metres he would have to crawl to his house. “I already climbed it a hundred times in my mind.” With the moon already above him, the rhythmic trickle of the creek water beside him and stars filling the clear night sky, Khurana summoned the courage to move. “One benefit of hypothermia is it killed some of the pain, at least enough to move.” It took Khurana four hours to crawl out of the extremely steep terrain and to his front porch, where that chicken given to him by his neighbour Dave still hung. “That chicken that saved my life – I loved that chicken.” Khurana crawled into his living room where he grabbed the cell phone he had only purchased three weeks before and called an ambulance for help before collapsing. It was 1:30 in the morning. “I started to cry. I was just so grateful to be alive - I really thought I was going to die.” Khurana lay on his living room floor and waited for the ambulance to arrive. Emergency responders rushed in a short time later cutting off his wet clothes and covering him with warm blankets. “The real tragedy is when you warm up the pain comes back.” Khurana was rushed to Cariboo Memorial Hospital, then flown to Kamloops where he underwent surgery to repair his most serious injury – a shattered talus in his left foot. He also is recovering from a break in his right ankle, a rib, his left collar bone as well as frostbite to three fingers. “I still think about it a lot. There are times when I’m free falling in my mind,” he says. “But thank God I didn’t break my neck or my back. This is light sentence really. I might hobble for the rest of my life, but at least I

have a life to live.” Reflecting back, Khurana says he took an unnecessary risk climbing alone and using unfamiliar equipment. “I took risks I shouldn’t have. If you’re too keen, too ambitious, you can become blinded by the potential risks around you. I learned sometimes it’s okay to back off.” Khurana says he has tremendous gratitude to all those who have been so kind and helpful to him during his recovery. “Big cheers to the ambulance attendants, ER staff, helicopter staff, technicians, doctors, cleaning staff, nurses, physio and occupational therapist, red cross … there are a lot of nice people out there giving Adrianne Meer photo a great helping hand.

Slow economy to blame for city strike Tensions are high this week between City workers and City management as talks between the two broke down last week, and again this week. Workers walked off the job Saturday afternoon for a day-and-ahalf of job action. The walk-off resulted in Cariboo Memorial Complex being shut down, sadly forcing the final two Stampeders games in the series against the ‘Roos to be played in Quesnel. The two opposing sides met again at the

table Monday morning briefly but workers were walking off the job again by noon. Some management, left to close buildings and do what work they could, were visibly angered by the strike Monday, while strikers also aired their frustration at management. Some workers said they are being told the City has no money however say management receives many perks. Equally, city workers enjoy many benefits, such as good wages and job security, that many

of us in the private sector don’t have. Labour disputes are messy no doubt, but this one seems to have the potential to be particularly personal. It isn’t fair to ask workers to settle for less and essentially take one for the team during difficult economic times when leaders are not prepared to make any concessions themselves. Teachers in the district are also under the gun lately as School District 27 staff and trustees work to either close or reconfigure schools. There will be

many tense meetings before all of that is figured out, and it could ultimately lead to job loss. There is no denying that economic slow downs are hard on workers and on communities. It is particularly hard on small ones like Williams Lake where a strike may pit neighbours against neighbours, friends or even family. Let’s hope that much needed turnaround in the local economy comes sooner ratrher than later.

Extraterrestrial rock creates earthly reactions In a bizarre turn of events saved usually for sci fi movies, Russia was hit with a plunging meteor on the weekend that shattered windows and hurt almost 1,000 people. According to international media reports, the extraordinary event brought morning traffic to a stop in central Russia as shocked drivers stopped to watch

the falling meteor partially burning up in the lower atmosphere. “The fall of such a large meteor estimated as weighing dozens of tonnes was extremely rare, while the number of casualties as a consequence of its burning up around a heavily-inhabited area was unprecedented,” said reports. According to the Russian government,

windows were blown out by the shockwave across the city with almost 300 buildings damaged including schools, hospitals, a zinc factory and even an ice hockey stadium. “At 9.20am an object was observed above Chelyabinsk which flew by at great speed and left a trail behind,” stated the government. Experts insisted the

meteor’s entry into the atmosphere was not linked to a 50-metre asteroid that skimmed past the Earth at a distance of 17,000 miles, closer than any other object of its size in history, the same day. The 2012 DA14 rock hurtled past inside the orbit of some satellites. Nasa scientists said the timing of the two cosmic events was merely coincidental.

Our loss of simplicity is making us simple What ever happened to ordinary things - that richness of the simple? Has our obsession with superlatives replaced the homey, timeless, familiar ingredients of life? It’s not that I’m against grand aspirations or dream development! But sometimes it seems everyday joys are being lost in our desperate attempts to grasp the newest and best of everything! We scurry around, preoccupied with media and communication devices. Even while we disconnect.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.   To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent ten years and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface and in a wide range of temperatures. It was research - research that produced the very best.

But sometimes less is more. We have traded away human contact for an impersonal e-highway. Our leisure hours are consumed with flickering screens that offer us mindless hours with a bonus of sleeplessness. Perhaps meaning and memories could trump those activities that contribute to nothing but our electric bills. Simplicity beckons. The good old days are still there.

simple things. Simple, extraordinary things. If we have the courage to pull a few plugs. Nothing determines personal happiness as much as what we choose to do with our leisure time. In our frantic attempts at living, the best times of all wait in ordinary places. NASA did finally develop its unrivaled pen, produced by topflight space-age technology. Extraordinary, yes. The Russians simply chose a pencil. LOL@caribooadvisor.com.

Activity Centre keeps seniors busy during the winter months Editors note: Win Gooding is a columnist for our new publication, SMART 55Plus which is published by The Cariboo Advisor the first Wednesday of every month. Look for SMART 55Plus inside The Cariboo Advisor's March 6 edition. Now that we're well into February with the snow and cold still upon us seniors are still keeping very active at the Senior Centre and elsewhere. Elder College has held registration sign ups for several interesting courses to keep seniors busy for the next couple of months. There are also free health talks being held at the Senior's Activity Centre by local health care personnel. These talks are held on

Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. and cover various issues as they relate to aging. Areas to be covered in February are pharmacuticals, dental health, back health and hearing respectfully. If you have any health concerns these will be excellent courses to attend. Potluck supper for seniors is held on the last Friday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Senior's Centre. Bring your favourite casserole, salad or dessert and bring a friend to enjoy socializing with other seniors for an enjoyable evening out. Until next month, keep healthy, safe and be happy. Win Gooding, Past president of OAPO Branch 93 Member of the Seniors Activity Centre

ies at the TRU campus and other initiatives are being examined that will further expand the continuum from high school to post secondary. These opportunities are only possible because of the close proximity of Columneetza to the TRU campus in Williams Lake, and it is doubtful if this would be accomplished successfully in a situation where busing of senior students would be required. The Automotive, Metalwork, and Carpentry facilities contain state of the art equipment and are the best facilities in the province, built in some cases to post secondary standards. Without providing senior students with full and open access to trades training while in their senior years, the continuity of training will most certainly diminish. If WLSS were the senior school, students who wanted to take trades classes would have to bus to Columneetza. Bussing students between schools has not been very successful over the past few years.

School reconfiguration will hurt high school trades programs Editor; Columneetza and Williams Lake Secondary - Which school would make the best 10 to 12 school and which school would make the best 7-9 school? The Trustees have decided to have WLSS become the high school and Columneetza become the middle school. Is this the best decision? Probably not. Columneetza has the best facilities to meet the needs of the Grade 10 to 12 students and was built in 1967 for Grade 11 and 12 students. WLSS is a newer school that was built for Grade 8 to 12. It has a unique configuration with pods of classrooms which are well suited for the needs of middle school students. Trades careers are in high demand in our province. Over the years the District Career Development staff have worked tirelessly to promote and expand secondary involvement in post secondary programs. Opportunities are now being developed that is seeing secondary students enrolled in concurrent stud-

- Hillside Trailer Park - Juniper - Kwaleen School - Kendal Acres - Mandarino Place - Marshall’s Store - Midnight Dr. - Mountview

This means that the trades program at Columneetza would suffer. Columneetza has a large career center where students are able to explore career options, look at University and Technical School booklets, explore careers on the computers, and take training classes such as the fire suppression program. This is facility is not available at WLSS. Columneetza has a Daycare Center on campus and this makes it possible for our young mothers to continue their education. These students are able to walk over to feed their babies and spend time with them at lunch break. This is not available at WLSS. Younger students require more gym time than the senior students and WLSS has more gym space available as well as access to community facilities such as swimming, skating, and bowling. Columneetza’s gym space is better suited for senior students as there are fewer students who take gym classes in the senior grades.

Columneetza is very close to two elementary schools – Nesika and Cataline. Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 are involved in the mentorship program through Big Brothers and Sisters where they are partnered with an elementary student to work with once a week. This program would be severely limited if senior students were at WLSS as they would only be able to walk to one elementary school – Marie Sharpe. Columneetza has a dorm facility that is currently not being used. If it was ever to be used again, it would be the senior students who would stay there – again another reason that Columneetza is the best place for the senior students. There has been some mention of the middle school students being “at risk” if they were at WLSS because of the proximity to the downtown area. Many middle schools have a closed campus where students are not allowed to leave the campus and this could be implemented. We have had an elementary school in our downtown area for

A National Film Board documentary that premiered at the 2012 Calgary International Film Festival is being screened by the Cariboo Regional District Library at the Williams Lake Longhouse tonight, on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. Vanishing Point was directed by Canmore filmmakers Stephen A. Smith and Julia Szucs, and takes place in the tiny village south of Qaanaaq in Greenland.

The film is narrated by Navarana K’avigak’, who was born and lives in Greenland. Narvana speaks six languages, and narrates the film in Inukitut. She is a descendant of the Baffin Island Shaman, Qidtlarssuaq who convinced many of his nomadic family to journey to Greenland in 1860. The account of this early journey is entwined with three modern-day hunting trips; two take place in the Uummannaq

District of Greenland, and the third in the community of Quikiqtarjuaq on Baffin Island. This is a story of proud people, who struggle to maintain their practices of hunting and gathering, while bringing up their children. It subtly invokes the viewer to consider issues surrounding survival, tradition and our place in the world. The Williams Lake Longhouse can be accessed by Pinchbeck Street through the

Stampede Grounds. For further information, please contact the Cariboo Regional

District Library in Williams Lake at 250392-3630 or visit the website at cln.bc.ca.

Stem Cell Activator

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can only be transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoid graft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writing after using #63 this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heart attack damage, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, lupus, spinal injuries, and other diseases and tissue damage. The results have been very satisfactory to us and to the patients and the time varies with different patients depending on the extremity of the damage. Women witnessing the effects of Bell Stem Cell Activator: <Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB < All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening.

Road trip to the Island nets wrestlers medals Submitted by Sonia Conrod Just this past weekend we had the opportunity to attend the Port Alberni Invitational Tournament on Vancouver Island. We have never attended this event in the past. The club took the opportunity, carpooled with our

neighboring 100 Mile Wrestling Club and made the jaunt to the Island. We took four athletes in total to compete. Two from the WLWC and two from 100 Mile. The competition was fierce down on the Island, some of the best wrestling programs in BC are run there. It

was one of the best run tournaments we have attended and plan on revisiting the tourna-

ment in years to come. In the schoolboy division, 100 Miles Kody Kennedy just

missed the podium coming in fourth in his weight division. Makaela Lemon represented the WLWC in the 73kg School Girl division. She fought hard earning herself a Gold Medal Victory. 100 Mile's Tiana Dykstra was in the

43kg weight class, she also brought home a Gold Medal to add to her collection. She had some tough match-ups in her Cadet division and wrestled amazing. Braden Conrod was in the 54kg Cadet and battled his way to a very respectable fifth place

finish, winning four out of six match-ups in his double knockout bracket draw. All the kids did amazing, the fought hard! Next up is North Central Zone Qualifiers this weekend, held in Prince George.

Board releases rationale for high school decision After making the controversial decision to designate Columneetza Senior Secondary as a predominantly grades 7 to 9 school and WLSS the high school, the Board of Education released its rationale for the move last week. Rationale considered for choosing the WLSS facility as the predominantly grades 10-12 campus included: Older students traveling - In order to facilitate student choice and in order

to utilize both present facilities to their fullest capabilities, some extent of student travel will be necessary. The Board believes strongly that the majority of travel should be done by older students. When timetabling is complete, older students will certainly need to travel to the Columneetza campus for trades courses and may possibly need to travel for upper level science courses or other courses. With this configuration, younger students will have to travel very little or not at all. Technology infrastructure - Superior at WLSS when com-

pared to Columneetza. Better suited for senior students as we move forward into more personalized learning Proximity to Skyline/GROW - We have far more students involved in alternate education at the Grades 10-12 level than at the Grades 7-9 level. It is an advantage having the senior campus with Grades 10-12 within walking distance so that students will easily be able to move back and forth between both educational settings. Proximity to recreation facilities (i.e. hockey, skating, swimming, bowling, etc.) - As older secondary students transition to adulthood, more sports and fitness opportunities are provided to them to give them exposure to the types of healthy activities they may participate in once they have graduated. Perferrable for older students to walk as opposed to the younger students. Proximity to downtown for work experience opportunities Superior band and musical theatre facilities Industrial kitchen -

For cafeteria training/ dual credit (secondary and post-secondary credit) chef's training courses Commons/Stage - A central location within the school as a gathering place for older students. Rationale considered for choosing the Columneetza Secondary School facility as the predominantly grades 7-9 campus included: Student engagement - The Board recognizes the importance of trades training within the new school. If younger students are given the opportunities to be introduced to a variety of trades experiences before they reach Grades 10, 11, and 12, they will be more likely to travel to the predominantly grades 7-9 school campus to take these courses as part of their Graduation Program. In having these trades training

courses offered at the predominantly grades 7-9 school campus, younger students will not need to travel to be exposed to these types of opportunities. This will help soften the transition for students in grades 10-12 as they will be returning to a familiar campus to access these courses. Location - The Columneetza campus is much more secluded in a predominantly residential area closer to larger elementary schools. Whether or not the predominantly grades 7-9 is an open or closed school campus, younger students will not face the constant lure of distractions located downtown (i.e. the park, the mall, convenience stores, etc.). Supervision - Easier to supervise due to long hallways. More field space Space for two fields to allow for more intramural activities.

What’s the Scoop! your guide to what’s going on in Williams Lake

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 iDENTiTY THiEF Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (Melissa McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson” ... and it belongs to an accounts rep (Jason Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back. A GooD DAY To DiE HARD Tough cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Moscow to find his son Jack (Jai Courtney). What McClane doesn’t know is that Jack is a a highly-trained CIA operative on an assignment to stop a nuclear weapons heist. When they find the Russian underworld is after them, the two McClanes team up and use their opposing methods to stop a war from breaking out. SAFE HAvEN When a mysterious young woman named Katie (Julianne Hough) washes up in the small North Carolina town of Southport, she is determined not to make personal relationships. That is, until she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel), a kind-hearted widowed store owner, struggling to raise his two children. When Katie feels herself falling for him, she must choose between familar safety and the perils that come with love.

Deadline for our March edition: February 28, 2013

Aries, planning is going well and you have been following through with your responsibilities. Expect to tweak a few things in the days to come.

Taurus, open up to a trusted friend to regarding a significant decision you have to make this week. This friend can provide some valuable perspective. A barrage of new ideas makes you a hot item this week, Gemini. Your brain is working overtime and you may be shocked at what you come up with.

Cancer, expect to see eye-to-eye with your significant other this week. You will be on the same page and this will help to strengthen your relationship.

Keeping the romance alive at every meal Love Food finds it’s way onto many plates when romance is in the air. The Greeks coined the word ‘Aphrodisiac’ after Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love. There have been studies of certain foods considered an aphrodisiac and they show that zinc, potassium and certain vitamins are all vital nutrients for a healthy love life. Ten foods that are supposed to enhance the libido are Oysters, Asparagus, Eggs, Almonds, Figs, Avocado’s, Chilli’s, Bananas, Garlic and of course Chocolate. Others suggest foods like strawberries and

Do you have an event that we should know about?

to go out at one of their favorites restaurants for a nice meal, while others will spend a little time at home cooking food, Here’s some love foods for your next special meal....eat the fig for an appetizer and the bananas for a dessert. Fig Special 6 Fresh figs ( if you can get fresh, use dried) 2 oz Feta cheese 12 almonds 1 ½ tsp honey 1 tsp balsamic vinegar Cut the figs in half and top with the goat cheese and almonds. Mix the honey and balsamic vinegar and also

put on top of the fig. Sexy Bananas 4 ripe bananas 2 ½ Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar 1 Tbsp sweet chilli jelly (any hot jelly should work) 3 Tbsp of dark rum 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream Chocolate sauce. 4 oz good quality dark chocolate 1 ½ Tbsp water 2 Tbsp butter Peel bananas and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Heat pan and put in bananas with butter and brown sugar. When the butter is melted add the jelly, then toss the

bananas with the mixture until coated. Add the rum to the pan. To serve, place a scoop of ice cream into the center of a shallow bowl then arrange bananas around it. Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce, which is made by cutting the chocolate into small pieces and melting in a bowl that is placed just above simmering water. Add in the water and stir then whisk in the butter until smooth. I could have used these recipes for Valentine Day, but they fit almost any nice occasion. Bye for now and Gooood Cooking

Leo, embrace the opinions of those closest to you. Those opinions might differ from your own, but they may also provide you with some important perspective. Try something different this week, Virgo. It may mean taking a new route to work or trying a new food. Try something that is out of your element and you may find you like it. You will be full of energy this week and ready to handle anything that comes your way, Libra. When you get on a roll, you may find you have some admirers. Scorpio, the coming week may try your patience. Relax when the week starts to prove too stressful, and you will make it through the week with your peace of mind intact.
