williams lake tribune, december 11, 2012

After receiving a delegation of Tsilhqot’in chiefs and more than 200 people attending to express their concern over the New Pros-perity proposal on Dec. 4, the city said Friday (Dec. 7) it will have to “respectfully agree to disagree” when it comes to the proposal.

In a press release the city reiter-ated council’s resolution, passed Sept. 18:

“That pursuant to the report

of the Chief Administrative Of-ficer dated Aug, 10, 2012, Coun-cil confirm support for the New Prosperity mine development, provided that Provincial and Fed-eral environmental standards are met and affected First Nations are adequately consulted; and fur-ther, that the Province of BC be requested to ensure all necessary provincial approvals for the proj-ect are granted in a timely manner and the Cariboo Regional District and member municipalities be in-vited to make the same request of

the province and our MLAs and MP be so advised.”

Council stands by its resolution, Cook said.

Council was also asked by Xeni Gwetin Chief Marilyn Baptiste not to present to the public hear-ings that will eventually be sched-uled by the federal panel review-ing the mine proposal.

“We want a project that can provide much needed economic stimulus and jobs, and that meets environmental standards. We also want First Nations and all poten-

tially affected people to have their say and to be consulted,” Cook said. “We are grateful to have had such a passionate and engaged delegation Tuesday night, and to have had a respectful conversa-tion during a dinner meeting in mid-November. We believe in open dialogue and in working to-gether. Council will continue to develop strong relationships and partnerships with our First Na-tions neighbours and will always be open to discussion and debate on issues that affect us all.”

Head-on collision south of lakecity claims one lifeA head-on collision on High-

way 97 south of Williams Lake claimed the life of an 86-year-old man Friday.

The Williams Lake RCMP Cari-boo Chilcotin Traffic Services and the RCMP North District were called to the accident scene, 35 ki-lometres south of Williams Lake

near Maze Lake Road at around 11 a.m.

“Witnesses at the scene indi-cated that a southbound 2004 Dodge Ram pick-up truck had lost control and veered into the northbound lane striking a 2000 Ford F150 pick-up truck,” said the RCMP.

The 28-year-old female driver of the Dodge Ram was taken to Cariboo Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released.

Witnesses also described vari-able road conditions which in-cluded dry and some icy patches.

The highway was closed in both directions for approximately two

-and-a-half hours while police in-vestigated the collision.

At this time police have not re-leased the name of the people in-volved with the accident and are reminding drivers to be cautious as they head into winter driving conditions where road conditions can change at any time.

Council has ap-proved $25,999 for six grant-in-aid applica-tions coming from the city and the Cariboo Regional District, but is also asking the Joint Committee responsible for awarding the grants to reconsider an appli-cation from the Blue Fins swim club that was denied.

“When the Blue Fins item came up there was a vote on it. There were four council members at the meeting and only two CRD reps. Council voted in favour of pro-viding this funding, but one of the CRD reps voted against. What we didn’t catch in the

meeting is when one of them votes for and one of them votes against and there are only two, it doesn’t carry,” Geoff Godall, acting chief administrative officer explained at council’s regular meeting Dec. 4.

Council members left the meeting think-ing the application had been approved, Good-all added.

Successful applica-tions include Canadian Mental Health $1,000, Williams Lake Sat-urday Market Asso-ciation $333, Cariboo Direct Farm Market Association $367, Wil-liams Lake Central Business Improvement Association $8,000 and Royal Canadian Le-gion $16,299.

Councillor Surinder-pal Rathor said while only six organizations received funds, there were more that applied.

“This is not to say that those organiza-tions were not worthy. Every organization that applied is worthy, but unfortunately the ap-plications that fit the policy for grants-in-aid were successful,” Ra-thor added.

Councillor Geoff Bourdon said success-ful applications were “in sync” with the guidelines for receiv-ing seed funding. “The seed funding will de-cline over three years because the intent of the funding is to help events become self-sufficient.”

Five sheriffs serving W.L.

Williams Lake is among four commu-nities in the province that has a new full-time sheriff, bringing the present total to five locally serving the court house. The new sheriff began working on Sept. 4 in Williams Lake and has previous law enforcement train-

ing. Prince George, Nel-

son and Terrace are also receiving an addi-tional full-time sheriff, while the Lower Main-land will obtain nine auxiliary sheriffs, said the Ministry of Justice in a press release Sat-urday.

Thirteen new deputy sheriffs have been add-ed to the ranks of the B.C. Sheriff Service,

helping to fulfill gov-ernment’s commitment to strengthen the court system, announced Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shir-ley Bond.

Over the past two years, B.C.’s sheriff service has grown by 15 per cent, increasing the number of sheriffs serving British Colum-bians from 465 to 533, the ministry said.

Creekside closureimpacts tax base

The city said Friday the closure of Creekside mill will have an impact on the city’s budget.

As a result of an application for a clo-sure allowance for the Creekside operation by Tolko to the BC As-sessment Authority, the city’s industrial assess-ment base will be af-fected in 2013 with an estimated loss of $3.5 million in assessment.

“It is important to note that this is not an automatic loss of taxa-tion revenue to the city, but a loss in assessment value, which may need to be collected among the remaining assess-ment classes, or from an increase in the mill rate to the major indus-trial class,” the city said

in a press release Dec. 7.

Council will consider tax rates and other items when it deliberates the 2013 budget and five-year financial plan be-ginning in January.

Mayor Kerry Cook said council wants to acknowledge the clo-sure has been a serious blow to Tolko, its work-ers, and the community.

“We lost more than 100 positions when the Creekside opera-tion closed three years ago, and another 22 people lost their jobs when Tolko decided not to re-open. It is also important to remem-ber the positive news we’ve had this year — re-investment and West Fraser’s announcement of a new multimillion dollar planer mill.”

City Council is com-

mitted to working with Tolko, West Fraser, and other forest products companies, as well as the provincial govern-ment, to ensure that Williams Lake and the Cariboo region sustain a thriving and benefi-cial forest industry.

“The impact has been since 2009 when it Creekside first closed. It’s now final and the effects of what hap-pened prior now be-come reality,” said Paul French president of the United Steelworkers Local 1-425.

“It’s sad the city en-tertained the one per cent tax shift in indus-trial to residential and business prior to now, because now the city will lose further and the impact will be felt by somebody,” French added.

Williams Lake airport passenger fees proposed for increase

After weighing its options, Williams Lake city council has approved raising air-port passenger fees rather than general taxation as a way to generate improve-

ment funds. At its regular meet-

ing Tuesday, coun-cil gave introduction and three readings to the City of Williams Lake Regional Air-port Fees Bylaw No. 2161 to make way for raising the passen-ger fee and passed a

motion to notify all stakeholders and in-vite them to a meet-ing to discuss the fees on Dec. 10 at the air-port.

Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said since the city took over run-ning the airport from the federal govern-

ment in 1997, the city has never used gen-eral taxation to cover costs.

“Lately our bud-get has gone up and we’ve been using the reserves and af-ter spending all that money we realized we needed $230,000

annually to meet our budget.”

It was not the wish of council to start us-ing general taxation, Rathor said, add-ing staff compared the fees at Williams Lake’s airport with nine other municipal-ities and found Wil-

liams Lake was lower than other airports in the region.

Williams Lake air-port has been charg-ing a $7.25 passenger fee, but no airport im-provement fee.

Quesnel’s rate is $11 for its passenger fee. Kamloops charg-

es $10 for a passen-ger fee, plus $7.25 airport improvement, while Fort St. John has a $12 airport im-provement fee, but no passenger fee.

“Under this pro-posed bylaws it’s the users that will pay,” Rathor said.

Taseko says New Prosperity panel information requests routine

Following up on the federal review panel of New Prosperity’s Information Request to Taseko on Nov. 26, Taseko said information requests are routine and part of any panel pro-

cess. “It’s not uncommon

for a panel to send a proponent dozens of IRs,” said Brian Bat-tison, Taseko’s vice-president of corporate and community affairs Thursday.

That statement was validated Monday when

a new letter was sent from panel chair Bill Ross to Taseko, listing a total of 50 different IRs.

They range from cu-mulative effects, to fish habitat and metal leach-ing. Once the material is submitted, the panel will decide whether to proceed to a 15-day pe-

riod for public comment or proceed to public hearings, Ross’s letter noted.

Battison said panels often seek additional in-formation from project proponents on an array of matters, and that it is not an uncommon prac-tice.

“It will be Taseko’s responsibility to re-spond to any IRs issued by the panel and we will do so,” Battison said.

While Taseko pre-pares its responses the clock which tracks the government time remaining in the 12-month review period

is stopped, however, work on the review con-tinues and the clock will be restarted once the panel is satisfied Taseko has provided an ad-equate response to the IR(s) Battison added.

“It is important to remember the panel is reviewing thousands of

pages of scientific evi-dence which has been presented for the proj-ect.”

Taseko is aware of the community interest in the project and will continue to keep people informed as the process moves forward, Batti-son added.



Rod Voth was doubly honoured last week.

The long-time Ro-tary Club of Williams Lake member was presented with a Paul Harris Fellowship award recognizing the “tremendous” contri-butions he has made to the community over many years as a Rotar-ian.

“Rod is a hardwork-ing businessman. His commitment to improv-ing the lives of citizens in Williams Lake is on-going and generous,” said Guenter Weckerle, Rotary president. “Rod devotes a great deal of his time and energy to-ward serving humanity in many ways.”

Voth’s name was put forward for the Paul Harris Fellowship be-cause he volunteered hundreds of hours to

help transform two, 10-by-40-foot trail-ers into a library for the First Nations com-munity of Yunesit’in (Stone) west of Wil-liams Lake.

The library was offi-cially opened on Sept. 11 by lieutenant gover-

nor Steven Point. The accolade was

followed up by Cariboo Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett award-ing Voth a Queen’s Dia-mond Jubilee Medal for his continued commit-ment to ensuring peo-ple in different places

in the world have ad-equate housing.

Barnett said she first met Voth when she was the mayor of 100 Mile House and needed a garbage contractor. He had a great sense of hu-mour,” she recalled.

Three people nomi-

nated him for the med-al. One described him as the “most generous individual in Williams Lake.”

“Rod is one of those types of generous peo-ple who will show up when someone needs a hand to fix, build or repair something. He has integrity, a strong belief in God, and is an active member of the Gideons,” Barnett said.

Recently Voth learned that a local youth group needed a meeting place so he provided the materials and built an addition on the back of a restaurant.

He’s built homes for the homeless in the Philippines, helped rebuild homes after the fires in Barriere in 2003, volunteered to work with AIDS vic-tims in Africa, or closer to home delivered fire-wood to needy people in Likely.

Through Rotary he’s volunteered with Operation Red Nose, helping deliver people home safely from par-ties, and helped with Citizens on Patrol.

“You might not know that Rod likes classical music, bluegrass and quartet singing,” Bar-nett said, adding he also really loves pie.

Sixty thousand

Queen’s Diamond Ju-bilee medals have been given to deserving Ca-nadians across Canada in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th an-niversary on the throne.

“The people that nominated Rod said the medal could not have gone to a more deserv-ing person,” Barnett added as she gave him his award.

Dr. Graham Kelsey earns Queen’s medalDr. Graham Kelsey,

Big Lake community volunteer and past-president of the Central Cariboo Arts and Cul-ture Society (2010 to 2012) has been awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in recog-nition of his outstanding community service.

The award was pre-sented in Big Lake Dec. 2 by Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson.

Kelsey has long held the view that voluntary service to a community is one of the most im-portant activities a per-son can undertake.

In his former life as an academic he served on various national, provincial and univer-sity boards and was the recipient of a Univer-sity Teaching Prize, the Distinguished Service Award of the Canadian Association for the Study of Educational Administration and the UBC Alma Mater So-ciety’s “Just Desserts” award for service to stu-dents.

Retiring to the Cari-boo in 1998 he has de-voted his time and his expertise to community service in two princi-pal ways: helping the small community of Big Lake, and furthering the cause of arts and culture in the Central Interior.

He has served on the Big Lake Community Association board for

12 years and was award-ed a plaque in recogni-tion of “exemplary ser-vice and dedication” at the Association’s 2011 annual meeting.

He served as sec-retary to the building committee established to create the new com-munity fire hall and was instrumental in raising the $235,000 needed, as well as in ensuring the efficient and transparent management of a proj-ect that was completed on time and on budget in November of 2000.

Since then he has continued to serve the volunteer fire depart-ment as a fund raiser ($135,000 for a new rescue truck) and as volunteer manager of the community levy that

raises $16,000 annually for the department’s op-eration.

He is able to draw on these experiences to do-nate his time in advising other communities who are seeking to fund or to establish fire depart-ments (McLeese Lake, Likely, Chimney and Felker Lakes).

The work with the fire department has been something of a sideline to his major volunteer commitment as secretary-treasurer of the Big Lake Com-munity Association. He was re-elected to this position eleven times and was responsible for the entire administra-tion of the Association’s finances and programs. He developed the poli-

cies, financial controls and procedural guide-lines that have made the Association well re-spected in the Cariboo Regional District as an efficient and thriving community association.

Kelsey’s work in the arts and culture field has taken him beyond the community to a wide area of the Central Interior. In 2002 he was appointed by Order-in Council to the BC Arts Council and served on council for six years as one of only two members north of Ka-mloops. He served as president (2004-2006) of the Central Interior Regional Arts Council and remained active on its board until 2012.

His volunteer work in

that capacity included not only governance and administrative mat-ters, but also giving presentations and work-shops and helping com-munity arts councils throughout the central interior.

In 2006 Kelsey was invited to address the board of the Central Cariboo Regional Dis-trict (CRD) on the topic of the value of arts and culture in creating and maintaining healthy communities. This pre-sentation eventually proved to be the catalyst that led the Regional District two years later to be the first regional district in the province to pass a bylaw creating an arts and culture func-tion.

It serves the CRD’s three areas D, E and F and the City of Wil-liams Lake. To imple-ment the function, a new non-profit society (The Central Cariboo Arts and Culture So-ciety) was formed in 2010, with Kelsey as its first president. During his presidency (2010-2012), the society has established itself as the key facilitative organi-zation for the more than sixty arts and culture groups in its region.

Kelsey continues to sit on the society’s board as past president and remains active in its programming.

Panel just doing its job

PST: Making the switch

Last week was not a won-derful one for Taseko Mines Ltd. The Canadian

Environmental Assessment Agen-cy’s panel found deficiencies in the company’s Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Pros-perity Mine, thus setting back the approval process. On another front, 99 per cent of the company’s union workers at Gibraltar Mines voted to strike if necessary.

I know nothing about the situation at Gibraltar, but the CEAA panel is simply doing the job it was ap-pointed to do, which is to ensure the Prosperity Mine operation won’t

adverse-ly im-pact the environ-ment in the area, now or

in the future. This point often gets lost in the rhetoric. The panel has reason to be cautious. Historically, mines and mills do not have won-derful track records when it comes to cleaning up their messes, it’s of-ten (usually?) left to governments to do it. E.g., last week the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Newfound-land/Labrador is stuck with a $50 to $100 million tab to deal with the pollution left by an Atibi Bowater pulp mill that went bankrupt. Re-garding the Tsilhqot’in National Government’s delegation to city council last week, I wondered why two uniformed RCMP officers were present. Do policemen usually at-tend council meetings?

Seven members of my family attend school in this district, so I have more than a passing interest in how our school board copes with the current financial situation. What baffles me is why trustees play the goat. Why not let the experts in the provincial government’s education ministry who set the funding for-mula see what wonders they could achieve in this district within those funding limits. Still on schools, the only effective deterrent to bullying I know of is for the victims to have a strong-minded older sibling at the same school to stick up for them. Unfortunately most kids don’t have such a protector.

Diana French is a freelance col-umnist for the Tribune. She is a for-mer Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Five months from now, on April 1, 2013, we will be switching back to the PST

from the current HST system. This can mean some big changes for businesses both large and small, so I’d like to take a moment to remind business owners here in the com-munity that there are many resourc-es available to help them make this change smoothly and efficiently.

I know business owners may have concerns as to how the transi-tion will affect them, and I want to assure you that our government is working to make the switchover as easy as possible. Through a combi-

nation of one-on-one con-sultation services, o n l i n e w e b i -

nars, a toll-free information num-ber, an e-mail address, and many other services, we hope to give businesses the information they need to ensure a smooth transition.

I hope most of you have already received a letter from our govern-ment about this and are already aware of these services. I’m happy to say that many businesses across the province have already begun using the services available. Over 800 requests have been made for one-on-one consultation with a Ministry tax specialist, and 160 of these have been completed. Over 300 businesses have registered for online webinars, which cover the general principles of the PST and the eTaxBC online service; three webinars have been held already and more are being scheduled for December. Thousands of questions from businesses have also been an-swered through the toll-free num-ber set up for information on the PST.

Please remember, if you have any questions or concerns about how the switch to PST will affect your business, our government is here to help. You can call 1-877-388-4440 with your questions, or e-mail them to [email protected]. You can also find more information at www.pstinbc.ca and atwww.gov.bc.ca/PST. I hope that these tools will make finding the information you need as easy as possible.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Don’t drink and driveAlthough we have just recently turned the page on

the calendar to December, office Christmas party cel-ebrations are already underway, and excitement about the festive season will only intensify as the big day gets closer. As Christmas approaches, we tend to gather with family, friends and neighbours.

For most people, this time of year perks us up as we celebrate the successes of the past year, or look forward to better times next year. Often this leads to food and drink. Sometimes it results in too much alcohol con-sumption. And then some important decisions have to be made. The number one question at this point is how are we going to get home?

Well, with today’s tougher drinking driving laws, we shouldn’t even be considering driving home if we’re impaired. The best-case scenario if we’re driv-ing impaired and we get pulled over would be taking a roadside breathalyzer and blowing a “warn” reading. However, it would be worse if we blew a “fail” be-

cause the impoundment would be longer, as would be the IRP time period and then we would face criminal charges and potentially other court-ordered and insur-ance costs.

The worst-case scenario, however, would be get-ting involved in a motor-vehicle incident during which someone is seriously injured or killed – it would be a life changer for everyone involved. Really, the biggest decision should be made before we leave our homes to go to a party or dinner if we’re going to be drink-ing alcohol. We have to decide whether we’re going to stay over, or have a designated driver, or arranged for a safe ride home from a family member or friend or neighbour. We certainly don’t want to be in the position of desperately wishing we had not climbed behind that steering wheel and attempted to drive home.

This festive season, let’s make sure we all get home alive.

Re: Taseko Mines proposed New Prosperity Mine.

All persons who are sports fish-ers, First Nations or commercial fishers or even those of us who merely buy fresh caught sockeye salmon for dinner, should be con-cerned about the Taseko Mines Ltd.’s proposal to develop a gold/copper open–pit mine in the Chilko/Taseko watershed.

This is major spawning water for B.C.’s Fraser River sockeye salmon.

The Fraser River sockeye run is the largest on Canada’s west

coast. In 2010, over 10 million sockeye were caught by com-mercial, First Nations, and sports fishers in locations from the tidal waters, through the Fraser River delta, the Fraser Canyon and to further reaches of the Fraser Riv-er system of tributaries.

Over a 15-year period, govern-ment fisheries staff tells us that 25 per cent of the Fraser River sockeye spawn in the Chilko/Taseko watershed — right where the Taseko Mines Ltd. proposes to construct their mine.

Gold/copper mines have his-torically caused great damage to fisheries and high cost to taxpay-

ers who eventually pay for recla-mation and remediation.

Taseko Mines Ltd.’s first pro-posal was turned down by Federal Government authorities due to the “unacceptable environmental threats to the ecology.”

The Taseko second “new” pro-posal shows no real improve-ment. In fact, the new panel of environmental specialists re-cently appointed by the federal government has just indicated that Taseko Mines “new” Envi-ronmental Impact Statement has major deficiencies in its contents regarding impact on valued eco-systems.

It is clear to many of us that this second try by Taseko continues to be unacceptable, not just to us, but also to the Canadian Envi-ronmental Assessment Agency’s panel. All outdoors people should speak up against this mine. If this Taseko Mine is approved, you may find that the next similar

mine could be located in your fa-vourite place to fish, and that your salmon dinner comes from Russia or Alaska.

Mine could jeopardize sockeye salmon

Outdoor skating rink would be greatEditor:

As a mother of three grown chil-dren and a grandmother of five school-aged children, I write out of concern for the younger gen-eration. High rates of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle worry me. My children and grandchildren went to Poplar Glade Elementary School and we

were greatly saddened to see it burn down. However, as my husband and I walked past the grounds we noticed the upper lot has finally been levelled.

What a perfect spot for an out-door skating rink!

After a few phone calls to the city, I find out they can do nothing as it is school district property. A few more phone calls tell me there

is a liability issue. Wouldn’t a sim-ple sign saying, “Skate at your own risk” solve that?

At this time of increased child-hood poverty, wouldn’t it be nice for the city and school district to join forces and give the kids of Wil-liams Lake the present of free skat-ing?

Populations age, and people move from place to place for jobs, health, retirement, etc.

Williams Lake in 1958 was just starting to grow, as bush mills started to relocate in town, and expanding production.

More people moving to town for jobs resulted in School Dis-trict 27 not being able to keep up with building schools.

As a result most school yards had portable classrooms in most of the Cariboo at one time or an-other.

In recent years because of few-er mills running, and loss of jobs, families moving to other loca-tions for work, and aging popula-tions not having school children anymore School District 27 now wishes to sell off and close down schools.

Bad move. Economy could change, young-

er families with children could move into town, and we could again have class room shortages.

At the present time there are about 450 plus, mailing address-es on South Lakeside Drive with a possible 450 and more new residences between Fetter’s sub-division, Prosperity Ridge, plus all the commercial possibilities. At present time most of new con-struction and development is on the south side of Williams Lake, both sides of Highway 20.

And School District 27 con-sidering closing Kwaleen School makes no sense all.

Lack of vision, and imagina-tion.

We should make better use of our property, and buildings.

An example would be Ma-rie Sharpe school and property,

which would make a good day care, kindergarten, preschool, etc. in the centre of the city.

Parents working in town, easy access for dropping off children. Large playground, lots of class-room space, large gymnasium for bad weather, etc.

Could be an on-the-job train-ing centre for child care for those wishing to learn the vocation, making better use of our facili-ties, etc.

Closing Kwaleen is not an op-tion.

Thinking outside the box is so foreign in most academics, (it’s scary). Practical advice comes from practical people.

Look up some pensioners and seniors for ideas on practical ad-vice.

Closing Kwaleen Elementary School is not an option; lacks vision and imagination

Taxpayers provided money for Deni House renovations

Editor:

On reading the article on Nov. 27 in the Williams Lake Tribune, “Donna Barnett acclaimed by local Liberals,” I find Donna’s statement that it was an accom-plishment that the Liberals got Deni House open.

As I remember it was the Lib-erals under Gordon Campbell that decided it was in the best in-terests for the residents of Deni House, to close the facility. The residents and their families were devastated by this closure.

Before the closure a bus load of concerned seniors travelled to Kamloops to protest their con-cerns to the Minister of Health George Abbot. Unfortunately Mr. Abbot would not come out of the Canadian Inn to face the seniors.

Meanwhile hundreds of se-niors in the Williams Lake and area signed a petition at the Se-

nior Activity Centre to keep Deni House open.

As a result a group of a dozen seniors, myself included, char-tered a plane to be in Victoria when Charlie Wyse, our MLA for Cariboo Chilcotin presented the petition at the legislative assem-bly, stating that the residents of Williams Lake and area did not want Deni House to be closed. Regardless of the petition Deni House was closed and the resi-dents were moved to Retirement Concepts Seniors Village.

If it were not for the Regional Cariboo District taxpayers pro-viding the money to pay for the renovations to upgrade Deni House the residence would still remain closed.

Skating club puts best boots forward at Cariboots ‘n Blades

Fifteen members of the Williams Lake Skating Club combined to dominate the podium on the week-end at the club’s annual Cariboots ’n Blades figure skating competi-tion.

The event, which saw 20 clubs from around the province travel to compete at Williams Lake’s Cari-boo Memorial Recreation Com-plex, showcased 175 skaters in 380 events.

The WLSC skaters, who posted multiple top finishes, finished fifth out of 20 in overall team standings. The Fort St. John Figure Skating Club, who brought a strong contin-gent of skaters for the meet, took the top spot.

Joanne Macnair, coach of the WLSC, said it was an excellent competition and added she was proud of how everyone skated.

“It went lovely,” she said. “I was really happy with the results. Ev-eryone skated well. Our new skat-ers were wonderful for their first times out, and I think they had a great time.

“It was a busy, busy weekend but I’m really proud of all the kids.”

Skaters at Cariboots ’n Blades competed in multiple events and skating categories including free skate, spins and elements.

Winning gold medals for the WLSC were Jessica Rowley in Primary Spins, Amanda Lane in Bronze Elements and in Pre-Juve-nile Women U11, Dawn Henley in Senior Bronze Women, Jade John-son in StarSkate 4 13-plus.

Lane, who has been skating with the club for the past five years, said having the competition in Williams Lake is a lot of fun.

“I like getting out there and skat-ing because, you know, you want to do your best but it really doesn’t matter what place you come,” Lane said. “It’s just a lot of fun.”

Rowley echoed Lane’s state-ments, and said, while nervous at first, everyone’s inhibitions about performing in front of a large crowd disappeared.

“The warmup was actually my favourite part,” Rowley said. “You’re so scared to get out there and then once you get on the ice you’re like, ‘OK, it’s not so bad.’”

She added her gold-medal in

spins was a welcome surprise.“Normally spins aren’t my great-

est,” Rowley said. “But this time I went down lower than I usually do and it worked out great.”

Lane also won a silver medal in Bronze Spins, while Johnson took a silver medal in Preliminary Spins.

Winning bronze medals were Vi-olet Kritz in Primary Spins, Brooke Dawydiuk and Henley in Silver El-ements.

Kritz, who has been skating with the club for around three years, said she was happy with her perfor-mance and enjoyed the festivities.

“The best part was getting the awards,” Kritz said. “It’s really exciting. Everyone’s there taking pictures.”

Dawydiuk also placed sixth in Bronze Interpretive and in Star-Skate 4 13-plus, while teammate Mackenna Alexander place eighth in the same division.

Meredith Jackson, competing in Preliminary Elements and Pre-liminary Spins, placed fourth and sixth, respectively. Teammate Al-ana Walters, in StarSkate 4 U13, placed 10th.

In their respective StarSkate categories, silver placements were also awarded to Abby Brown, Georgia Jacobson, Kritz, Rowley and Jackson. Bronze placements were presented to Kailey Cham-pagne, Rebecca Fraser, Reese Johnson and Tessa Martin.

Additionally, several skaters passed their respective skills tests. Dawydiuk passed bronze interpre-tive, Jackson passed preliminary free skate and Sarah Hoffman passed her Fiesta dance test.

Margie Henley, president of the WLSC, said everyone’s help — including volunteers and officials — helped make the competition a success.

“We were really happy with how it turned out,” she said. “I think all the skaters enjoyed themselves and I think it went very, very well.

“The officials enjoyed Williams Lake and the hospitality of our sponsors.”

The WLSC is now preparing some of its skaters for the upcom-ing regional championships in Kitimat from Feb. 15-17. Follow-ing that, the club will be attending the Super Series, March 9-10, in Kelowna.

Former Williams Lake resident Alisah McPhee made her pro-fessional boxing debut in fine fashion Friday night at the Femme Fa-tale event in Vancouver.

McPhee went the full six rounds to win a split decision against Jaime Ward — a North Vancouver fighter with more than 30 amateur

fights under her belt and with one professional win.

Ward faced defeat Friday, however, when she took on McPhee in the semi-main event.

“I gave up close to 10 pounds but came out victorious,” McPhee told the Tribune. “We were fighting at 130 [pounds], but my regu-lar weight is 118.”

McPhee, who was born and raised in Wil-

liams Lake, now teaches grades 4/5 at Centennial Park Elementary School in Abbotsford. She at-tended Cihlcotin Road elementary, Williams Lake Junior secondary and Columneetza Senior secondary but moved away following gradua-tion to complete an As-sociate of Arts Degree at Capilano University. She also has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Si-mon Fraser University

and a teaching diploma from the University of the Fraser Valley.

She has also played soccer, winning two Canadian national titles, two provincial titles and was awarded national MVP in 2001.

The 31-year-old said she’s been training as a boxer for nearly four years. McPhee now competes in Combsport, semi-pro league where participants compete

without headgear. Her most recent fight prior to Friday’s was in May.

“I have been unable to get a fight since then, and have only had five bouts,” she said. “I am undefeated and one win was by knockout. Most recently I have been in the ring as a partici-pants in an exhibition — means we don’t go all out and we wear headgear — fight as a professional.

I have had a diffi-cult time finding fights. I’ve been told I’m hard to match due to weight/

size and record. Need-less to say I’ve recently become a pro … I was on the same card as my sparring partner and fel-low professional, Sarah Pucek, who [fought] for the Canadian feather-weight title.”

She added she was al-ways intrigued by box-ing.

“It’s not so much the fighting part but the pure athleticism and in-dividuality of the sport,” she said. “I have always played sports like soc-cer and rugby and have always been a very

physical player. I always thought I would like to try boxing but never had the opportunity.

“That changed when a friend was talking about boxing and I said,’ I want to watch you fight.’ He said, ‘Why watch? You should train.’ It made sense to me so I did. I like the challenge of the individ-uality of the sport.

“I always say when you step into the ring ‘you get what you put in,’ meaning the result will show how hard you train.”

t-wolves drop heartbreaker in tier one tourney final

The Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timber-wolves marched away from a Prince George Tier 1 tournament on the weekend as silver medalists.

The T-wolves posted an impressive 4-0 re-cord through round robin play, but were up-ended in a heartbreak-ing 3-2 loss Sunday to Quesnel.

Williams Lake con-trolled the play early, jumping out to a 2-0 lead and continuing to pepper Quesnel’s

net continuously but couldn’t find the twine.

Quesnel then scored two to tie it — one off an odd bounce when the puck found the net after dropping in from 20 feet in the air after hitting a player. Williams Lake continued to push and had numerous chances to win but couldn’t light the lamp.

With just 48 seconds remaining Quesnel bur-ied the game winner to take the gold.

Williams Lake’s per-fect round robin began

with an 8-5 drilling of the host Prince George Tier 1 Cougars, leading the entire way.

In the team’s second game Friday Williams Lake downed Fort St. John, 6-2, before hold-ing on for a 4-2 win over Smithers Saturday morning.

In their second game Saturday Williams Lake beat Quesnel — the same team it played in the final — 4-3 in a physical battle that saw Williams Lake lose four players to injury.

Mt. Timothy projected opening slated for Dec. 15

Mt. Timothy Ski Area has put out a notice let-ting the public know it will not be opening Dec. 8-9, as scheduled.

Instead, the local ski area has pushed the date back to its next projected opening day, Dec. 15, due to a lack of snow at the hill.

Currently the Mt. Tim-othy Ski Area is hosting its stocking stuffer sale with multiple deals on passes until Dec. 24.

Stocking stuffers are available at 100 Mile Sports Shop and at Wil-liams Lake Honda.

Mt. Timothy’s holiday schedule sees the slopes

open daily from Dec. 22 to Jan. 6, but closed Christmas day.

For more information on Mt. Timothy Ski Area contact guest services at 250-396-4095 and for up-to-date snow infor-mation call the snow-phone at 1-877-392-1446.

Musical concerts a Christmas traditionTwo annual Christmas mu-

sic traditions are coming up this week to help make Christmas a little brighter for those less fortu-nate.

The seventh annual TubaJohn’s Christmas Concert with Friends is happening this Wednesday eve-ning, Dec. 12 starting at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s United Church.

Williams Lake Community

Band members will perform fa-vourite Christmas and seasonal songs. The Cariboo Men’s Choir and Quintet Plus Choirs will also be performing.

There is also room in the pro-gram for some old-fashioned car-ol singing.

Admission is a donation to the Salvation Army Christmas cheer program.

Then on Friday evening, Dec. 14 the Williams Lake Communi-ty Band will be performing in the Williams Lake city council cham-bers starting at 7 p.m.

“This concert is always a guar-anteed fun time to be had by any-one young or old,” says band di-rector Michael Butterfield.

“Be prepared to be entertained and enlightened by this years’

program, which will feature some very special guests, including re-nowned author Sage Birchwater, vocalists George White, Harry Jennings, Suzanne Butterfield, and guitarist Brian Sawyer,” But-terfield says.

He says all proceeds from this concert will go to local charities, so please bring non-perishable food items and/or cash donations.

The Christmas Bird Count hosted by the Williams Lake Field Naturalist’s will take place on Sunday, Dec 16.

The count, which was first held in the city in 1969 is now in its 45th year and will be one of 415 counts across Canada in-volving over 12,000 volunteers.

We expect to have 35 people in the field on Sunday as well as numerous bird feeder watchers throughout the count area which is a 24-kilometre diameter cen-tred in the city’s downtown.

The circle takes in from Wild-wood to Sugarcane and Dog Creek Road out to Flett Road; from Meldrum Creek Road on the west side of the Fraser River to beyond Fox Mountain to the east.

Last year’s count netted 4,600 birds of 49 species and how well

we do this year will depend on many factors including weather

conditions on the day and if any open water remains on Williams Lake.

Our highest count occurred in 2008 when the lake was mostly open and we had 64 species in-cluding many waterfowl.

Data from the Christmas Bird Counts are compiled by the Na-tional Audubon Society and are at the heart of hundreds of sci-entific studies providing infor-mation for decision making by wildlife managers across North America.

Because birds are early indica-tors of environmental threats to habitats we share, this is a vital continent wide survey.

There is a possibility this year that a Snowy Owl may be record-ed for the first time on the count.

They have been occurring in the interior in unprecedented numbers so far this winter with upwards of 30 being seen in the Prince George area and five in

Quesnel. Several have been seen west of

the Fraser but the only one in the count area so far was found in a distressed state and is believed to have died of starvation.

This unfortunately seems to be the fate of many of these young birds which may have been driv-en out of the Arctic by a crash in the Lemming population which is their primary food source.

Bird feeders contribute greatly to our numbers and we would ask that anyone with a feeder in the count area to let us know what birds they see on Sunday.

Observe the feeder at its busi-est, usually in the morning and get an estimate of the numbers and species seen.

Please call in your list to 392-7680 after 5 p.m. on Sunday, 16 or email [email protected]

If you need help identifying the birds at your feeder, call Phil at 398-7110.

Greg Sabatino PhotoDuring the holiday season Williams Lake Community Band members can be seen performing in many locations. Here Murray Hoffman (left), John Sykes (aka TubaJohn), Mark Hamm and Glenn Robson perform at the city’s light up and Santa Claus Parade celebrations in Spirit Square on Nov. 24. This Wednesday is the TubaJohn’s Christmas Concert at St. Andrew’s United Church. Then on Friday the community band and friends will hold their annual concert at city hall council chambers.

Peter Zwiers photoSnowy Owls are coming south in greater numbers than in past years.

It was a cold, windy, and rainy day mov-ing cattle at the Dane Ranch in Tatla Lake causing all kinds of trouble for the crew.

Cordy Cox, with her crew Evan How-arth and his daughter Shelly Howarth Lor-ing “headed them out,” from the Dane Ranch to the Shortreed’s pas-ture where they would spend the winter.

It was a 10-minute drive by car, a little longer driving cattle on horseback – even longer in the weather conditions, and moving

cattle that were happy just where they were.

At first the cattle all bunched up and went pretty good, but once they his the highway the cattle scattered in every direction they could see.

They took off into the rivers, hid in bush-es and escaped into the most inconvenient places for the riders.

After a few “hair straight back” attempts to round up the out of control herd the riders managed to get about 500 of them moving in the right direction.

About 200 of the cows managed to elude the riders who simply

took what was left and headed west!

Even the dogs were exhausted.

No longer feeling chilly anymore the rid-

ers and their horses were a “’lil stirred up’ when they finally ar-rived home.

Just another day in the life of a cowboy!
