Cops say weekend quiet in lakecity

The Williams Lake Fire De-partment responded to an electri-cal smell at the Williams Inn on the evening of Jan. 6. Fire chief Randy Isfeld said the department responded and found an area of concern that the manager is going to look after.

Williams Lake RCMP Inspec-tor Warren Brown said the week-end was quiet, with only 55 calls for service with nothing of sig-nificance.

“I hope the next 51 weeks are as good,” Brown added.

BC Services Card to replace Care Card starting February

Starting Feb. 15 and over the next five years, eligible British Columbians between the ages of 19 and 74 will be required to replace their CareCard with the new BC Services Card by renew-ing their enrolment in the Medi-cal Services Plan.

The new card can serve as a driver’s licence and act as a pho-to ID, making B.C. the first prov-ince in Canada to issue a com-bined card. In Quebec and New Brunswick health cards already have expiry dates.

Minister of Health Margaret MacDiarmid said Monday people can still choose to have one card or two.

“Seventy per cent of people in a poll said they’d rather just have

one card, but it’s an option. Peo-ple can choose.”

When people go in to get the new card they will have to have ID with them.

At issue has been fraudulent use of cards, either by people that are not residents using B.C. health cards, or in some cases where more than one person is using the same card.

“We really want to make sure that only people that should be using the cards are using them,” MacDiarmid said.”If more than one person is using a card then a medical history is being built up that could be very confusing, especially if someone is access-ing the emergency department at a hospital.”

That’s one reason to have the photo ID and the expiry date, she added.

Concerns have also been ex-pressed about the chip in the card and the fear that personal infor-mation is contained in the chip.

“One of the things I want to be clear about is that the chip is not even activated today, but even once it is activated, it will not have personal information in it,” MacDiarmid explained.

“It allows access to that per-sonal information, but the infor-mation is not in the card.”

Health records will not be available by accessing driver’s licences either, she confirmed.

People who do not drive can still enrol at the nearest location where driver’s licences are is-sued for the new card.

Once a person enrols, they will be issued a new BC Services Card, or a combined card, and will need to re-enrol every five years.

The Williams Lake RCMP are seeking information from the public after they received an abandoned 911 call on Dec. 23 at 1:44 a.m. from a female in the area of Pine Street and Second Avenue North in Williams Lake.

The female reported to police that a male had opened the pas-senger side door of his truck as she walked by and offered her a ride.

He then got out of the truck and tried to pull her towards the truck. She was able to get away and the truck sped off.

The suspect truck is described as a newer, white, four-door, with a British Columbia licence plate possibly starting with the letters ER.

The male was described as be-ing in his 40s, bald, about five-foot-10, and being somewhat overweight.

He was reportedly wearing glasses, a brown and grey coat and black pants.

In a press release issued about the incident on the evening of Jan. 4, the RCMP asked if any-one has information regarding this incident that they contact the Williams Lake RCMP at (250)-392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Crimestoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestop-pers.com.

Williams Lake RCMP Inspec-tor Warren Brown told the Tri-bune Monday that about 99 per cent of abandoned 911 calls are false.

“Most often abandoned 911 calls are pocket dialed from cell phones or children fooling around,” Brown said.

Another could be when youth gather at the arena, call 911 from a pay phone, and then hang up.”

Attempted kidnapping in Williams Lake

First Nations in and around Williams Lake held a second rally on Dec. 31 in support of Chief Theresa Spence who was then on the 21st day of her hunger strike asking for a meeting with prime minister Stephen Harper. The first rally was held Dec. 21.

Challenging the 50 people of all ages gath-ered at the outdoor stage in Boitanio Park, Wil-liams Lake Indian Band chief Anne Louie, urged everyone to write to their MPs to express concerns and ask them to support the meeting requested by Chief Spence.

“Her community members, and many oth-er First Nations live in deplorable conditions,” Louie said, adding the federal government has a fiduciary responsibil-ity and obligation for all First Nations.

“I ask you to keep Chief Theresa Spence in your thoughts, hearts and prayers. It is very sad that she had to go to this ex-treme to bring to public the issues that are based on the federal govern-ment’s actions.”

The federal govern-ment’s Omnibus Bill C-45 is an example of

government exercising its muscle because it has a majority government, Louie added.

“We are not the only ones affected by this bill. The navigable wa-ters legislation impacts everyone, not just our people. Environmental assessment changes may affect everyone,” Louie said. “All you have to do is look at the proposed Enbridge pipeline and other pipelines to see how it will affect every-one in B.C.”

She also alleged there is a misunderstanding amongst members of the general public on how First Nations are treated by the federal govern-ment.

“I suggest if anyone is

opposed to what Chief Spence is doing that they go to her community and reside there for one year under the same condi-tions that her people are residing.”

The federal govern-ment sends out “misin-formation” when it says it is spending millions of dollars on First Nations, Louie added.

“What the public needs to be made aware of is the majority of these funds are exhausted be-fore they ever reach First Nations communities.”

Paying for ministers’ salaries, their staff, ad-ministration at Aborigi-nal Affairs, and a large portion is transferred to the provincial govern-ment for health, educa-

tion, child welfare pro-grams, which are all “failing miserably” be-cause of lack of proper consultation.

“The rates paid to the provincial government are much higher than what is issued to our community programs. We must let our elected MPs know that we ex-pect equal treatment.”

All Canadians, wheth-er First Nations or not, benefit from funding for health, education and so-cial programs, she added.

“Tax collection alone, does not pay for all of this. Another myth is that First Nations do not pay taxes. This is false. The general public needs to get informed about this before making such

negative comments. The Auditor General has re-peatedly stated year af-ter year, that the federal government must review and act on the treatment and issues of aboriginal people.”

Trudy Stump provided a smudging on everyone gathered for the rally, including Canoe/Dog Creek chief Dave Archie who said his thoughts go out to all First Nations people living without food and in poor condi-tions, “harmful to their health and spirit.”

Looking around he said the rally represented the stand people are go-ing to have to take more and more. His words were followed by drum-ming and singing.

2013 New Year’sbaby welcomed

Sarah and Nathan Anderson of Quesnel welcomed a son on Jan. 2, born at Cariboo Me-morial Hospital in Wil-liams Lake.

Judah Hartley, weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces, measuring 19 inches, arrived at 3:23 p.m. making him the New Year’s baby for Williams Lake.

“His name means praised and thankful,” Sarah said. “We didn’t know we were having a boy until he was born.”

Sarah was due on Jan. 10, and while her hus-band Nathan thought they were having a girl, Sarah was sure he was a boy and in a baby pool guessed he’d arrive on Jan. 2.

She went into labour New Year’s Eve and was assessed at the hos-pital in Quesnel around 2 a.m. Because she was scheduled to have the baby in Williams Lake, the couple made the drive down.

The couple had giv-en birth to a baby boy, Jacob, in November 2011, three months premature. He only lived a day, so Sarah’s pregnancy was consid-ered high risk this time around.

As Nathan cuddled Judah, Sarah said, “he’s a younger brother for Jacob.”

Judah’s middle name, Hartley, is also Nathan’s middle name and his fa-ther’s middle name. It was his maternal grand-mother’s maiden name, Sarah explained.

Nathan was born and raised in Quesnel. Sar-ah moved there when she was five years old. He’s an electrical ap-prentice and she is a student support worker all through the school district.

As the couple took turns holding their son, they both commented how they’ve hardly heard him cry yet.

“He was very alert the moment he was born, and was looking all around,” Nathan said.

The Andersons hoped to head home to Ques-nel by the weekend, and have already had some visitors from Quesnel at the hospital.

Judah’s room is ready and waiting — all deco-rated with Winnie-the-Pooh.

Operation Red Nose a huge success in 2012

The number of peo-ple who used Opera-tion Red Nose in Wil-liams Lake was up by 30 per cent in 2012.

It was the fourth year that the Rotary Club of Williams Lake and Williams Lake

Community Policing collaborated to offer the service.

Operation Red Nose was operational nine evenings throughout the Christmas season offering free rides to folks that had been celebrating and needed a safe ride home along with their vehicle.

This year, the program provided 290 rides, a total of 639 riders, 126 volunteers, trav-elled 4.947 kms. and in excess of $7,500.00 in donations was re-ceived.

This program was made possible by a number of outstanding businesses and volun-

teers, said safer com-munities co-ordinator Dave Dickson.

“This year, Lake City Ford, Ron Ridley Rentals, Cariboo GM, Heartland Toyota and Gustafson’s Chrys-ler Jeep provided the vehicles. Panago Piz-za and Taylor Made Cakes supplied the

refreshments each eve-ning and David Hall and the Cariboo Chil-cotin Child Develop-ment Centre supplied the telephone system and dispatch centre.”

The Williams Lake RCMP and City of Williams Lake assisted with the administra-tion.

This year, Kids Sport, Williams Lake figure Skating, Wil-liams Lake Gymnas-tics and the Blue Fins swim club are the re-cipients of the funds.

Volunteer numbers were up in 2012 as well.

While he was plan-ning for this year’s

service, Dickson ap-proached the four lo-cal organizations that would benefit from any proceeds collect-ed if by chance riders happen to make dona-tions. As a result, each group committed to two nights of driving, with three teams of three drivers.

Salvation Army kettles do well

Final numbers for the Salvation Army’s kettle campaign in Williams Lake show that $51,600 was raised. That total is up from the 2011 total of $49,200 said Salva-tion Army Corps cap-tain Randy Kadonaga

Friday, adding the mail-in donations have yet to be tallied.

“Food donations were down from last year, but then our toy donations were astro-nomical.”

Last year parents were invited to select toys for their children from a “toy store” set

up in the Salvation Army, but many told staff and volunteers that it was difficult to choose the toys.

This year the toys were selected for fami-lies beforehand, and stuffed into parcels, which Kadonaga said the parents “really ap-preciated” and were

happier not to have to make those decisions.

Around 270 hampers were given out, com-pared to 290 in 2011, and no one was turned away.

“And our Christ-mas dinner on Dec. 25 served about 135 meals, volunteers and clients,” Kadonaga added.

Correctionnotice

The rate fringe residents will pay for 120 days of fire protection services from the Williams

Lake fire department will be $129 per $100,000 of residen-tial assessment, not the maximum rate of

$147 per $100,000 as reported in the Tuesday December 25 issue of the Tri-bune.

Horton Ventures holds open house

Horton Ventures Inc. in Williams Lake held an open house in De-cember.

“As of April this year, we are now identified as one of the provincial WorkBC provincial em-ployment service cen-tres,” facility manager Nancy Thompson said. “We hold that contract through the provincial government, but we are a private company.”

There are similar ser-vice centres all over B.C., in small and large communities, with the mandate to provide a place where any British Columbian can access

employment services, whether they are a job seeker or an employer.

“People using the services are supposed to get the same level of services, straight across the province,” Thomp-son said.

At the open house a variety of community partners had information booths.

“We’re interested in working with our local community to help job seekers and employers be successful,” Thomp-son said, adding no one organization can “take this on” themselves.

To help facilitate job seekers, the centre has experienced counsellors that work with clients

one-on-one. There is also a staffed resource centre, complete with a library, computers with internet access, and a job board.

“The staff also works with employers to help them recruit employees and we offer free job postings to employers in and outside the commu-nity. We do that through our job board and through our website.”

There are also volun-teer postings, as a way to help job seekers build up experience while job seeking.

Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett congratulated Hor-ton Ventures on being awarded the contract by

WorkBC. “Horton Ventures has

been around for quite a few years. I had the pleasure of working with them when I was the mayor in 100 Mile House,” Barnett said.

Referring to the im-pact of the mountain pine beetle and other factors on the region’s economy, Barnett ac-knowledged there are going to be challenges in the next five to 10 years. She also said there will be new opportunities with mining expansions and potential new mines.

“Training is one of the issues we have to focus on and this centre is here to help and guide people,” she said.

Twisted and Tortured Inkworkz food drive a success

About six weeks before Christmas, Trevor Todorowich at Twisted and Tortured Inkworkz in Wil-liams Lake decided to launch a food drive for the Williams Lake Women’s Contact So-ciety.

He put a notice out on Facebook that do-nations of more than $10 worth of food would warrant being entered to win a two-hour ink session at his tattoo parlour on Bor-land Street.

As he posed for a photograph with Ash-ley Turatus, Women’s Contact Society, in front of a Christmas tree surrounded by food donations, Trev-or said he was “blown

away” by people’s generosity.

“There’s about $3,000 worth of dry goods and that’s from about 60 people.”

His uncle, Dale Todorowich, said the campaign also raised $730 in cash that will go toward purchasing fresh produce and pro-teins.

The decorated Christmas tree, themed in purple, will also go to the society for its annual diamond gala event in 2013.

A stack of clothing also gathered by do-nations will go to the Big Brothers Big Sis-ters.

“We figured a food drive for January would help replenish food supplies when they are their lowest,” Dale said.

Williams Lake city council highlights2013 Provisional

Budget Council approved a

provisional budget for 2013.

This budget is only provisional and will be amended as neces-sary over the coming months, after the year-end figures for 2012 are finalized and with additional opportunities for public input on the budget before its final adoption in May 2013. This provisional budget is available for viewing on the City’s website (www.williamslake.ca) via the ‘Budget 2013’ link.

Junior Council Terms of Reference –

Amendment

Council approved amendments to the Terms of Reference for Junior Council:

• reduce the num-ber of City Councillors from two to one;

• remove the require-ment for Junior Coun-cillors to be high school students;

• allow for a one year re-appointment for cur-rent Junior Councillors.

The changes will al-low for re-appointment of Junior Councillors in Grade 12 to provide leadership and continu-

ity to the Council, and to have fewer adults in-volved in Junior Coun-cil to allow more own-ership and leadership from the Junior Coun-cillors themselves.

Free Crown Grant – Airport Lands

Council accepted the final review letter re-ceived from the Prov-ince on Nov. 29, 2012 and directed Staff to satisfy all the conditions outlined in the crown grant letter, excepting the issue of the timber cruise, of which Staff be directed to notify the Crown that this item will be completed at such time as the land is ready for development; and further, the $18,109 plus HST required to complete the crown grant be allocated from the Airport 2013 budget.

In December of 2009 City staff received en-dorsement from council to make application for a Community/Institu-tional Free Crown Grant for land adjacent to the Williams Lake Regional Airport with sponsor-ship from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Under the application the City requested two portions of land which included 9.7 ha of land adjacent to the Cariboo

Fire Centre, and 15.2 ha portion of land to the South of the Private Air-port Hangers.

OCP 2012 Monitoring and

Reporting

Council received a re-port on implementation of the Official Commu-nity Plan in 2012 for in-formation and directed that it be made available through the City’s Web Site, linked to the OCP as a progress tab for 2012.

Award of Engineering

Contract for Water Model RFP

Council awarded the

contract for a water model RFP to Geo Ad-vise Engineering Inc. for the amount of $19,885, excluding HST. In 2012 Council approved $150,000 in the water budget to develop a wa-ter model of the City’s water distribution sys-tem. Currently the City does not have a method to determine the effects development may have on the water system. A comprehensive water model of a water distri-bution system provides data to calculate and forecast the effects of

development, system improvements, perfor-mance such as water quality, etc.

City of Williams Lake Regional Airport Fees Bylaw No. 2161,

2012

Council adopted City of Williams Lake Regional Airport Fees

Bylaw No. 2161, 2012, which increases landing and passenger fees at the Williams Lake Regional Airport by 15%, parking fees increase by 10%, as well as increased water and sewer fees for air-port tenants.

Next council meet-ing Tuesday, Jan, 8, at 6 p.m. in council cham-bers.

As the new year begins, I would like to take a bit of time to tell you about my

hopes for 2013 as your local MLA. There are a lot of important issues in our region, and I’d like to tell you about a few of the initiatives that I would like see move forward this year.

First of all, I believe it is impor-tant that we all continue to work to-gether to be fiscally responsible. Our province has done quite well despite the global recession. One of the big reasons for this is the fiscal restraint that our government has exercised, maintaining a triple-A credit rating

and mak-ing B.C. an excel-lent place to invest.

B o t h as indi-v i d u a l s

and as a government, we need to continue this fiscal responsibility. This will help us in what I believe is one of our most important tasks, namely to boost job creation and de-velop industry, both at the provincial level and here in our region.

This includes the Prosperity mine, which is so important for the Cari-boo in terms of jobs and economic development, and which I would like to see move forward. It’s also impor-tant that we have skilled workers to take up the new jobs being created, and so I would like to see our skills and apprenticeship programs, such as those at Thompson Rivers Uni-versity, continue to grow. I believe it’s very important to educate young people and give them the skills they need to be successful in the work-force and I look forward to continu-ing to work with Dr. Ray Sanders at TRU to support skills training programs there. I would also like to see work continue on the Cariboo Connector, which will bring many benefits to our communities. Widen-ing and improving Highway 97 will not only increase safety and conve-nience for individuals and families, but will also give a boost to industry and commercial traffic, supporting our expanding economy. Finally, I’d like to see work begin on the expan-sion of Cariboo Memorial Hospital, which will improve care and provide many services to the residents of Williams Lake and the region.

I believe we will make a great deal of progress on these initiatives in the coming year, and I hope that we can work together as a community to see them through.

Separating fact from spin

A 2013wish list

Today’s rant is about kinds of lying. Lies range from little white fibs to big black

whoppers. Twisting the truth to be polite, or to win an argument, or even to pull a leg or two, is socially acceptable. Sometimes we repeat a story in good faith because it came from a person we trust. (Is it a lie if you believe what you are saying is true?) Even little kids tell porkies, but lying by withholding informa-tion, or providing misinformation

through b a f f l e -gab and o b f u s -c a t i o n , are not okay.

M o d -ern technology gives us instant news, but we often aren’t any wis-er for it because there is so much information from so many dif-ferent sources it’s difficult to sort fact from fancy. Propaganda (com-munications that present only one side of an issue rather than giving an impartial view) is one form of lying but a newer breed of PR peo-ple, spin doctors, go further. Big governments and big corporations pay big money to these experts to “spin” or manipulate the facts to suit particular interests. Spreading misinformation isn’t seen as fib-bing, it’s more “we’re right and we don’t have to listen to you.”

We usually recognize tall tales meant to entertain us, but we don’t always recognize spin-doctored news.

We don’t always know what’s being withheld, or downplayed by the media, but some issues obvi-ously aren’t deemed as newswor-thy as others.

The Idle No More move-ment was triggered by Bill C-45, Prime Minister Harper’s second omnibus budget bill. Along with the changes in the Indian Act, Idle No More is concerned over the gutting of both the Navigable Wa-ters Protection Act and the Envi-ronmental Assessment Act.

We aren’t hearing much about those two, although the changes are hugely relevant to all of us espe-cially in light of environmental is-sues like pipelines, tankers, mines, dams, run of the river projects, etc. Not worth spinning I guess.

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

Focus on the things that matterIt’s a fact that the chances of sticking to a New

Years resolution are slim to none. Most well inten-tioned resolutions are forgotten by February.

The most common choices for people making new years resolutions usually involve things that most of us have in short supply. Namely time and money. While losing weight is a nice idea for many, the reality of finding time in the day to exercise or prepare healthy meals means that by the end of January the resolution has been forgotten. Instead of vowing to volunteer more, travel or get a bet-ter paid job, why not set attainable, specific goals? In other words, make baby steps towards getting a better job, such as giving your resume a makeover, or learning new skills. Don’t expect to drop 20 ki-los this year, instead just resolve to eat at least one healthy balanced meal a day.

Even better, why not try focusing on things that will not mean spending any time, money, or ener-

gy? New Years is a time when we all get the chance to fix things, and start a new chapter. It’s a cliche, but losing weight or having a better job isn’t what makes people happy, but having great relationships is. Make 2013 the year that you reach out to old friends that have been neglected, forgive the ones who have let you down and give second chances. And be kind to strangers. You don’t know what role they might end up playing in your life. Having good relationships also means you will have the support, confidence and will to attain those other goals.

Whatever your final goal is, we hope 2013 brings happiness and contentment for all our readers. We want to hear about all the news and events that mean something to you this year. Our resolution is to bring our readers all the information they want to know, but we need your help to do it. Happy New Year.

south lakeside needs alternate route

Editor:

We are starting a new year and how or why Williams Lake and Cariboo residences got the inter-section and roadway we have is not important. What is important is that we do not continue spend-ing money or trying to rebuild a mistake. The entrance into and out of Walmart as originally designed would remove most traffic. Then taking a realistic look at traffic flow could be done without interfering with business in Pioneer Place and South Lakeside Drive business and residences. The city is planning to start construction in 2013 without an alternate route into and out of Pioneer Place. This is not accept-able to Lakeside Drive residences and businesses, as this would cre-

ate a safety issue, and interfere with businesses and residences.

Quesnel sockeye returns alarmingly lowEditor:

I have recently finished read-ing the Fisheries and Oceans Canada announcement on their preliminary sockeye estimates for the 2012 summer run sock-eye escapements for the Quesnel River.

For your reference the escape-ment into the Quesnel River in 2012 was 624 sockeye and I have provided the following additional

information from the document for your reference:

Quesnel – This area has one validated Summer Run CU (Quesnel-S) and two un-validat-ed Summer Run CUs (Cariboo-S and Middle Fraser River-Type)3.

The 2012 escapement to this area (624) is the fourth lowest on record for this off-cycle year (Figure 2d).

It is 10 per cent of the brood year escapement (7,091) and five

per cent of the long term cycle year average (11,619).

This escapement represents the third consecutive decline relative to the brood on this cycle year, decreasing 99 per cent since the record cycle escapement of 63,782 in 2000 (Figure 3d).

Spawning success for the Quesnel system in 2012 is the second lowest on record at an es-timated 32.7 per cent, well below the long term system average of

84.4 per cent. This is alarming information

and in view of the recent cuts to Fisheries and Oceans Canada by the Conservative government, I am writing to request informa-tion on how the government in-tends to alleviate this declining trend (99 per cent) that has been underway since 2000.

This once prolific sockeye stock is in trouble in all of the four year cycle escapements and

needs corrective measures and much needed attention.

The recent Cohen Commission report on Fraser River sockeye may be a great place to begin the implementation of a recovery plan for this stock and several others in the mid and upper Fra-ser River that have been in con-stant decline for several years.

newsInappropriate 9-1-1 calls divert BC Ambulance resources

Last year Emergency Medical Dispatchers at BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) answered more than 394,000 9-1-1 calls. While many of those calls involved life-threatening situations from car-diac arrests to childbirth to motor vehicle incidents, some, however, were not of an urgent nature and did not require an ambulance re-sponse.

In a press release, BCAS direc-tor of dispatch operations Gord Kirk said calls that are inappro-priate divert resources from those who need swift medical attention. Giving examples, Kirk said people have contacted 9-1-1 for help to get through to their cell provider, to get a hold of the doctor’s office because it’s closed, or ask for a wake-up call.

I think my house is infested with fleas. Can someone come and check it out?

“It’s important to remember that we’re here to help people with emergency medical situations.”

BCAS encourages the public to dial 9-1-1 for assistance dur-ing a medical emergency. Alter-natives to calling an ambulance include contacting the 8-1-1 tele-

health service, accessing a walk-in clinic, making an appointment with a family doctor or visiting a hospital emergency department if necessary. Hospital emergency departments triage all patients that arrive, including those by ambu-lance.

BCAS operates under the au-thority of the Emergency and Health Services Commission

(EHSC) to provide residents and healthcare professionals with ac-cess to pre-hospital emergency and patient transfer services. The EHSC also oversees BC Bedline and Trauma Services BC. The EHSC is a division of the Pro-vincial Health Services Author-ity, which manages high-quality specialized health care services across BC.

The Williams Lake Field Naturalists held their 45th annual Christmas bird count on Dec 16th under very favourable weather conditions. Williams Lake had frozen a little more overnight leaving about 30 per cent open water but unfortunately for counters, most of the water birds had seen the writing on the wall and left while they still could.

3646 birds of 56 spe-cies were counted on the day by 31 observers in the field and as well as 16 feeder watchers. Individual bird num-bers were a little be-low normal while the number of species was 4 above the 10 year av-erage.

The hoped-for Snowy Owl which was seen a couple of days before at Scout Island and on South Lakeside was not found on count day. But there were compensations. The bird of the day, which eclipsed all others, was not identified until 3 days after the count.

Feeder watcher Mar-ion Corless had phoned in her report from Terra Ridge with a note that she had seen an unusu-al bird that she could not identify. Two days later Marion, who is 91 and has been watching birds since she was 11, saw the bird again and after poring through her bird field guides was able to identify the bird as a Tanager. The Western Tanager occurs in the Cariboo as a breeding bird and winters in Central and South America. Mar-ion was not satisfied that the bird was this species but the only other two Tanagers breed across Eastern N. America, winter south of the Equator and are accidental in BC

She informed count coordinator Phil Ran-son and by the time he arrived she had come to the conclusion the bird must be a Scarlet Tana-ger, a bird that has nev-er occurred in the inte-rior of the province and has only been recorded 6 or 7 times previously on the coast.

Photographs were

taken and sent to ex-perts who confirmed the identity as a Scarlet Tanager.

Why the bird turned right on fall migra-tion and ended up in Williams Lake at this time of year instead of Colombia or Peru is a mystery but excited birders who are driving from Quesnel, Prince George and as far afield as Chilliwack, Rich-mond, and even flying from Vancouver to see this rarity are not too sorry for the error.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE

Winter is here, and the question may be: How is the City is planning to do snow removal on the day when it coincides with garbage collection? What will the residents of Williams Lake have to do in the winter months for garbage collection?

The answer is nothing different from what we have been doing all summer except, of course, shovel snow.

In the winter months, residents will need to put their containers at the curb in the same manner as during the rest of the year. The containers must sit as close as possible to the driving surface of the street. Residents cannot put their container on top of any snow bank or wind row caused by the snow plow. It will be the responsibility of the resident to shovel the snow away from the spot where they normally place their containers. It is not necessary for the resident to move the containers further into the street as the snow may creep out into the street. The resident only needs to ensure that there are no piles of snow in front of the container that would impede the movement of the arm on the garbage truck. The resident also needs to remove the carts as soon as possible after they have been emptied.

The City will continue to clean the streets when the snow is falling as it has in the past. The plow trucks will be paying special attention to the areas where the garbage/recycling containers will be on the street. They will be avoiding the containers with the blades of the truck as well as the snow that comes off the blades.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact Manager of Water & Waste at (250) 392-2311. Thank you for your support and participation!

It was another bone-chilling suc-cess New Year’s Day when the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club kicked off the 13th year of the millenium with its 13th annual Polar Bear Swim.

A total of 51 swimmers leapt in the frigid 2 C waters of Williams Lake, while many more spectators contributed to help raise $1,594 for youth and junior rugby programs in Williams Lake through donations and pledges.

Prizes were awarded for various feats including best costume, old-est swimmer and youngest swim-mer. This year’s oldest swimmers were Yvonne Veerkamp and Barb Chelsea while the youngest swim-mers were Sean Marshall and Jacob Schults, both 8.

Nine jumpers took the plunge from Williams Lake Secondary School, while 11 jumpers partici-pated from Columneetza Second-ary School.

Additionally, the Williams Lake Boy Scouts particpated in the swim..

Also this year five Australians and two South Africans took part.

“We would like to thank all those involved with the setup, especially Brad Bulow, who organized the event this year and all the local sponsors including Save-On Foods, The Bean Counter, The Gecko Tree, Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed,” said Todd Pritchard, CSS rugby coach and WLRRFC member.

“And a special thanks to the Judd family, who once again supplied the portable change rooms that gave our swimmers a place to warm up.”

city to expand XploresportZ winter programWilliams Lake has

been chosen by Pacific-Sport NorthernBC to re-ceive BC Sport Partici-pation funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of BC in order to expand the XploreSport program.

The XploreSportZ winter program will give children age nine to 12 the opportunity to try several sports offered at the BC Winter Games and to learn about snow safety.

Transportation, seating and costs limit the maxi-mum number of partici-pants so don’t delay in registering.

A nominal fee of $90 will be charged to guar-antee commitment by participants for the entire

program through Febru-ary.

The four-week pro-gram will offer an in-troduction to downhill skiing, cross country skiing, biathlon, archery, snowshoeing and the Snowsmart program.

The program will start with the Provincial Search and Rescue pro-gram SNOWSMART teaching the essentials of winter outdoor safety and supports the use of proper equipment, knowledge and training.

After lunch the par-ticipants will be trans-ported to the curling rink to learn about the game. The second sport activity will take the participants for a full day of skiing at Mount Timothy. The

following week, parti-cicipants will meet at the Bull Mountain trails to experience cross-country skiing with a certified coach. In the afternoon local cadet leaders will introduce the group to the sport of biathalon. The final day will include a morning of indoor ar-chery, hosted by the Wil-liams Lake Sportsman’s Association. In the after-noon the program leaders will take the participants on a snowshoe walk around Bond Lake.

The program runs for four weeks which allows two alternate days to run the classes. For more information or to register contact Su-zanne Cochrane at 250-398-7665.

Stamps clinch division titleSnap Steelheads unbeaten streak in the process

It was about as good a start to 2013 as the Wil-liams Lake Stampeders could have asked for.

Saturday, the Stam-peders did what hadn’t been done in 32 games — they defeated the Smithers Steelheads and former National Hockey League netminder Mike Wall, 6-3, in front of 600 fans at the Civic Arena in Smithers.

Sunday, Williams Lake carried its momentum to a clash with the Houston Luckies in Burns Lake on neutral ice, winning 6-5 and, with it, clinch-ing the Central Interior Hockey League East Di-vision title with just two games remaining in the regular season.

Stampeders general manager Kelly Kohlen said it was an outstand-ing effort by his club in Smithers, adding it was the team’s best game this season.

“We played a full 60 minutes of hockey,” Kohlen said. “We kept the pressure on and we got more shots this time around [than earlier in the season].”

Williams Lake’s Jassi Sangha had the hot hand for the Stamps, notching a hat trick to put his team up 4-2 with four seconds

left in the second period.In the third Francis

Johnson and Nathan Zurak sealed the deal. Matt Lees notched the other Stampeder goal early in the second for the Stamps.

For Smithers just Eric Smith, Ian Smith and Darryl Young were able to beat Williams Lake netminder Justin Foote through 41 shots.

Wall, who leads the league in wins, goals against average and save percentage, turned aside 34 shots in the losing ef-fort.

“I don’t think he had his best game but he doesn’t let too many past

him,” Kohlen said. “I think that’s the most any team’s scored on him.”

Smithers went a per-fect 18-0 last year before moving on to win the league playoff champi-onship over the Stamped-ers. Up until Saturday’s contest the Steelheads were 15-0 this season.

“It’s a big win for us — a huge win,” Kohlen said.

Sunday, Williams Lake fell behind early before battling back in the second to overwhelm the Luckies.

Sangha, again, showed up big lighting the lamp on Houston’s Brock Hendrickson twice.

Aaron Zurak, Nathan (2G) and Johnson — who also had three as-sists — rounded out the scoring for the Stamped-ers.

With both wins Wil-liams Lake improves to 11-4-1 with two games remaining in its regular season.

Next, this Friday, Wil-liams Lake hosts the 6-9-1 Lac La Hache Toma-hawks at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for its final home game of the regu-lar season at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, the Stamps head to Quesnel to face the Kangaroos to close out its season.

“There were many rosy, smiling faces to be seen,” Donahue said. “Ten club mem-bers instructed the par-ticipants in the finer points of cross-country skiing. Caribou Ski Source for Sports and Barking Spider provid-ed the demo skis, boots

and poles.”Donahue added fur-

ther adult lessons are being offered by the club on Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. and on Sundays at 1 p.m. un-til Jan. 27. Participants must provide their own equipment, but the les-sons are free and no pre registration is re-quired.

A new calendar is a great way to start off the new year, espe-cially when it is locally made and features all local content. The 2013 Potato House calendar, available at Dandelion Living, is hot off the press, according to Potato House president Mary Forbes, who added that her origi-nal idea for a nude calendar was replaced by one featuring artistic, ethereal and whimsical photos of the house itself.

“I remember watching the film Calendar Girls and loved the idea of a project like that for a group struggling for funds,” Forbes ex-plained. “It’s the right time of year for a calendar, and I wanted to start with a nude calendar, but discovered that there was already one in the works and didn’t want to complete with that—Robyn Mumford’s Cariboo Cowgirls.

“So we adapted. Plus we didn’t have any naked models and it was getting cold out. Maybe we’ll do a nude calendar next year.”

She explained that photogra-phers always want to get in to take photos of the Potato House, adding that she has been e-mailed quite a few. “I sent out the word to people whom I know had taken photos of the Potato House and the first person I heard back from was Pat Teti, one of our board members. He’s amazing—he has done carpentry for us, including coat hooks in the house,” she said. “He also just won the Banff National Park photo contest.”

The next person to contact Forbes with photos was Leah Selk, formerly on the Potato House board of directors. “The second we got the house, she got a key and was in there taking photos, so hers are from early on in the project,” Forbes continued.

“Chris Hornby, also a board member, was next. She is the most energetic volunteer I’ve ever seen. She tirelessly runs our book sale at the Saturday farm-er’s market, week after week and sells our Potato House recycled shirts. Our non-grant fundrais-ing is done almost exclusively by Chris.

“She also brought us photos. She specializes in old building photos, and hers is the December photo. It’s particularly special because if you can guess what

the photo is of, you are entered to win a 2014 calendar.”

The Potato House board went ‘arty’ with the calendars because there is so much art and inspira-tion in the Potato House itself, according to Forbes.

“The photographers who con-tributed to the calendars, myself included, are capable of seeing past the weeds to what it could be. It’s an art to see the potential in something as old and dilapi-dated as the Potato House. We’ve also been highly associated with art endeavours, including a show at the Station House Gallery.

“The Potato House inspires art; its purchase was inspired by art—by Michael Kluckner’s Van-ishing British Columbia heritage book. He did a beautiful water colour photo of the Potato House and said that he hopes it doesn’t disappear.”

She stated that the Potato House has now been purchased for a year and a half, and that a generous community member holds the mortgage for the proj-ect. “

We need to pay them back and are struggling with that. We’re currently working on a Cariboo

Chilcotin Beetle Action Coali-tion (CCBAC) application for funds to make the Potato House property the compost centre of Williams Lake,” she said.

“One of the reasons we’re do-ing the calendar is that we were advised that that CCBAC will look for other sources of funding for the project. We need creative, adaptable, sustainable sources. I wanted something that I can bring to the board that they can take home, something to give our volunteers and something we can sell to raise funds.”

Forbes also said that every penny from the calendar sales goes to the Potato House and they were all made locally—pho-tographers and printers. “Eric at Papyrus Printing was fantastic. His service was really good and product is gorgeous and he was very enthusiastic about the proj-ect. He has a good feel for the art itself.

“Leslie Rowse is professional photographer who also contrib-uted to the calendar. She did an engagement shoot in the Potato House, and her photos were so beautiful that I asked her to be our official Potato House photog-

rapher,” Forbes continued. “Leslie contributed the photos

of the feet on the stairs and the concord grapes. Kim Judd from Blue Spoon Catering harvests those grapes and makes jam, which is for sale at Dandelion Living.”

The calendars include local events and important dates and Forbes said that they are now looking for events to include in the 2014 calendar.

“If you have a Cariboo Chilco-tin event you’d like to promote, email us. It’s free. We’re also looking for photographers. Take pictures of the Potato House and send them to us. If your photo is chosen, you win a free 2014 cal-endar.”

She added that, to win a 2013 calendar, you can come to the Po-tato House annual general meet-ing at Scout Island on Jan. 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. “It’s a potato-themed potluck, and there is a competition for the best potato dish.”

For more information about the Potato House project and the cal-endars, come in to Dandelion and talk to Mary or email [email protected].

Potato House: art to inspire a community

LeRae Haynes photoPotato House Project president Mary Forbes has the new Potato House calendars on display and for sale at Dandelion Living.

Williams Lake resi-dent Hilda Benisch is at home recovering from surgery resulting from a broken wrist and a bro-ken knee cap from a fall about four weeks ago. She states that her daily life has been greatly im-proved by equipment loaned to her by the Red Cross Equipment office in Williams Lake—items that increase her mobility, independence and comfort while she is recovering.

She said that she tripped and fell on a cement floor, and that when she was sent to Kamloops for surgery she found out about the Red Cross Equipment program. “I first heard about it because a very good friend of mine volunteers with them in Kamloops,” she noted. “She helped me get a bench for the bathtub and a special walker to support my broken right wrist.”

When she returned to Williams Lake, she said that a physiotherapist came to her home to see what else she needed. “My son-in-law went with her to the local Red Cross office and picked out the rest of equipment I needed,” she continued.

She said that the Williams Lake Red Cross Equipment office loaned her a bar that fits between the mattress and the box springs and goes over the bed so that she can move her-self around.

“I also got a bar for the bathroom, a cane and a special crutch with a groove for my broken arm,” she ex-plained, adding that she is very grateful for the Red Cross program in Williams Lake and is healing well.

With a referral from a health care profession-al, Red Cross Equip-ment volunteers can set

you up with items that reduce your discomfort and your stress and help you be as independent as possible.

Located in the lower level of Deni House, Red Cross offers things like walkers with wheels and rigid walk-ers, bath boards, four-wheel walkers, straight and ‘quad’ canes, a range of wheelchairs, commodes, over-bed tables, manual wheel-chairs for adults and kids, transfer benches and shower chairs.

There are bed handles to slide under your mat-tress to pull yourself up, tub rails, aluminum regular and forearm crutches, bath aids, IV poles, as well as some bariatric equipment.

Volunteer Isobel Catling said that what brings people to the Red Cross is usually post-surgery care. Peo-ple come in with refer-rals from nurses, doc-tors and occupational and physical therapists in order to access the Red Cross equipment—something that can help you achieve help for daily living—mak-ing you more inde-pendent and comfort-able. Equipment loans are for three months, and can be extended for a limited time. If the cli-ent is palliative, the loan of the equipment can be extended for as long as required, according to Catling. She ex-plained that donations from clients, whether by equipment or by cash, help to keep the department supplied. It is important to note that, popular miscon-ceptions aside, Red Cross equipment isn’t just for seniors—it’s for everyone, accord-ing to Catling. She said that families who come to get equipment for a loved one are often amazed and thankful.

If you had to rent a wheelchair from other sources, it would cost

you approximately $80 a month, she stated. If you had to rent a walker it would be about $60 a month. Through the Red Cross it’s provided at no cost to you. Catling said that the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan program has another thing to offer the com-munity: a wide range of opportunities for volun-teers. Repairing, clean-ing, maintaining and organizing equipment, tracking referrals and loans and helping with computer and office work are all tasks open to people.

The volunteers inter-act with clients and help them pick out what they need according to their referral and provide in-formation about how to use the equipment safely. She stated that volunteering at the Red Cross is great for a re-tired person wanting to give back something to the community. It is a great way to keep your hand in, keep your mind sharp and learn a new skill.

The Red Cross Wil-liams Lake office is open five days a week. There are at least two volunteers on each shift from Monday to Fri-day, and currently vol-unteers work approxi-mately two hours each week.

“Having this avail-able in Williams Lake is the difference between lying in bed and getting up and moving around,” Hilda Benisch said. “It’s so easy to take your mo-bility for granted, but when something like this happens you realize how much you enjoy and appreciate it.”

For more information about the Red Cross Equipment office in Williams Lake, includ-ing making a donation or finding out about becoming a volunteer, phone 250-398-6803 or visit the office on the lower level at the Deni House.

A look to the Cariboo Festival

This was the seventh win in a row for five-year-old Williams Lake golden retriever Deuce and his owner Sindee Broen. The pair took ‘High in Trial’ recently at the Elsie Murray Dog Show in Cloverdale—an all-breed show and obedience competition.

“This competition in Vancouver is one of the highest-rated in Cana-da,” she said. “Deuce competed in the obedi-ence category, winning the whole trial for both days of the event.”

Broen explained that each class is scored out of 200 points, and that if two people get the same score there is a ‘run off.’

Entered in the most advanced category, Deuce drops on com-mand, comes on com-mand and executes scent discrimination. The owner ‘scents’ an item and it is mixed in with other similar items, and placed by the judge. The dog has to unerr-ingly locate the item scented by its owner.

Broen stated that oth-er exercises at the event included hand signals and heeling patterns. “In one exercise the judge tells you to stand your dog and move to the other side of the ring,” she explained. “You face your dog and wait for a hand motion from the judge that tells you to have your dog sit, lie down or come to you.”

She noted that part of the enjoyment of these events for her is social-izing with the other owners. “You get to meet with friends—this is the only place where you see them. We often

go once a month. In the summer we go to fun, outdoor dog events in the Okanagan where ev-eryone camps.”

Broen said that some dog breeds are more high-strung and may be nervous around people. “You take your own nerves into the ring

too, and that can re-flect on your dog,” she continued. “Your dog knows when he’s done well, and knows when he’s made a mistake—they’re so smart.

“To see a team, a han-dler and a dog together is a breathtaking sight when it’s done right.”

CAMERON W. ROSS Tuesday, December 25, 2012

After a very stoic fi ght with cancer Ross passed away in his sleep at home, in Victoria, early Christmas morning at the age of 68. He spent his last days surrounded by his beloved family where his attitude and the concern he showed for others right to the

end was an inspiration to us all. Ross grew up in Squamish with two younger bothers and a sister. After graduating from UBC, Ross joined the forest industry and worked in Fair Harbour, Vancouver, Golden, Kamloops and Savona before relocating to Williams Lake with Weldwood in 1988. He loved his life in Williams Lake: job, family, friends, fi shing, travelling, and golfi ng. Every moment he spent with wife Alison, son Gordon and wife Mikala, daughter Rosalie and husband Adam and his beloved grandchildren, Evan, Molly and Rory were special to him. He leaves a big hole in our hearts but we cherish the time we had with him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Condolences and messages to the family may be sent to [email protected].

Alice JohnsonDecember 22, 1917 - December 23, 2012

On December 23 Alice was called home after a wonderful life of 95 years! A pioneer family in the Williams Lake area, she will be lovingly missed by family and friends.She was predeceased by her husband Olaf Freeman Johnson.Alice leaves to cherish her memory two sons: Alvin Johnson (Connie Pinchbeck deceased) and Ray Johnson (Joyce Pinchbeck deceased) of Williams Lake; and one daughter Violet Johanson-Witt (Mienhart Witt deceased) of Edmonton; grandchildren: Rhea Clements (Bruce) of Williams Lake, Tammy Reiter (Clint) of Kamloops, Derek (Kalita) of Fort St. John, Sherri Banyard (John) of Williams Lake, Patsy Kohnke (Marty) of Williams Lake, Gary Johnson (Candice) of Prince George, Julie Witt (Jamie) of Edmonton and Vanessa Johanson-Witt Szarka (Mike) of Edmonton, plus 12 great grandchildren and one 1 great great grandson.A Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at the Williams Lake Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will follow at the Evangelical Free Church at 12 noon, with a reception afterwards, downstairs at the church.Alice was born in Belbutte, SK. She married Freeman and their first child Alvin was born in SK. The family then moved to Langley where Ray and Violet arrived. Alice and Freeman ran a dairy farm (Alice) and Freeman a logging operation in the lower mainland. In 1950 the family moved to Williams Lake where the business Chimney Creek Lumber Co. Ltd. was started, and remains active today with Alvin Johnson continuing the business all these years. Alice owned and operated the Springhouse Ranch, a property she loved and kept all these years. She moved downtown after the passing of her husband.Alice celebrated her 95th birthday Saturday at the Williams Lake Seniors Home, with many family members there to celebrate.
