Homegrown talent supports rugby club

The Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club got a big moral and monetary boost with a visit from Team Canada rugby greats Kayla Moleschi and Jake Ilnicki.

While in town for the holidays, the two connected with their old friends and mentors for the annual snow game, lent their support to the rugby club by donating Team Canada jerseys and volunteered their time at the annual Polar Bear Swim, which is hosted by the Wil-liams Lake clubs.

“We want to be here for youth rugby,” Moleschi said at the swim of why the two gave so much of their time to the local club, despite their hectic schedules.

“We want to show the young players that we believe in them as much as they believe in us –– plus, it’s always fun to watch people jump in ice cold water.”

Both Moleschi and Ilnicki have had memorable seasons touring the globe with the women’s and men’s Team Canada rugby clubs.

“It’s a crazy experience. Some-times I have to pull myself back to take it all in,” Moleschi said.

The duo currently train at the Team Canada rugby facility on Vancouver Island six days a week.

In the New Year Moleschi will travel with her team for games in Brazil, Hong Kong, London and Amsterdam. She is also setting her sights on the 2016 Olympics as rugby will be hosted for the first time during the Games.

For his part, Ilnicki says his first year as a rookie has been “amaz-ing” and he is waiting to hear whether he’ll be playing in France or New Zealand in 2014.

Angie Mindus photoTeam Canada rugby players Kayla Moleschi and Jake Ilnicki support the local rugby club over the holidays.

The highly-antic-ipated reality show Timber Kings aired its first episode on HGTV Canada much to everyone’s excite-ment last Sunday eve-ning.

The new docu-reality show, centred around the crew and challenging work projects undertaken by the Williams Lake company Pioneer Log Homes, has been in the works for three years now. 

But for the man behind Pioneer, the show is really the cul-mination of a lifetime love affair with log homes and the next logical step in secur-ing his company’s legacy.

“We went after it –– we pursued this,” Pioneer Log Homes founder Bryan Reid Sr. said of the new show, which was se-lected out of more than 200 pilot proj-ects.

“We knew this was the next step in the process for us.”

Reid Sr.’s journey began as a young boy growing up in Wil-liams Lake with five brothers and a sis-ter, spending much of his time alongside his stepfather, Bert Chevigny,s and little brother André work-

ing a trapline from Williams Lake to Lac La Hache.

It was there, on those long walks in the forest with André and overnight stays in trappers’ cabins that Reid Sr. devel-oped a passion for log homes.

“If those cabins hadn’t been there we would have perished,” he said. “I was fas-cinated by how you could be freezing cold one minute, then get to a cabin, start a fire and be sitting there nice and warm a half

hour later having din-ner.”

Later on, as a young man with a family, Reid Sr. set out to achieve one of his dreams of build-ing his own log home.

Without any experi-ence in the field, Reid Sr. said he looked for someone he could learn from and found it in a First Nations man from Toosey, named Samson Jack.

“He was a wonder-ful, talented man,” Reid Sr. said of Jack, who learned from Scandanavian crews

building on-reserve log housing.

“He was so smart with physics. He could move a two-thousand pound log by himself. He taught me a lot and then later on I taught him some things too.”

Following a stint with Chuck’s Auto Supplies (he helped start the company), Reid Sr. ventured out to make his next dream come true, by founding Pioneer Log Homes.

Timber Kings airs on HGTV Canada

Pioneer Log Homes featured in new reality series

Property values in Williams Lake remain stable for 2014, accord-ing to BC Assessment.

Owners of 4,600 properties throughout Williams Lake have been receiving assess-ments in the mail.

“Most homes in Wil-liams Lake are remain-ing relatively stable in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said Darin John-son, Deputy Assessor. “Most home owners in Williams Lake will see modest changes in the plus or minus 10 per cent range.”

There can be vari-

ances throughout the city on property values, Johnson said.

“Ever year we do ap-praisals on a mass ba-sis so we’re looking at trends of housing cat-egories throughout the town,” Johnson said. “It is normal for people to see a shift in their assessment, but we are not noticing anything clear in one way or an-other.”

In any community people will find pockets that can shift, he ex-plained.

“It might be the high-er end of housing that’s moving faster than the lower end, in terms of value range.”

Overall, the City of

Williams Lake’s as-sessment roll increased from $1.251 billion last year to $1.252 billion this year. A total of almost $6.3 million of this increase includes subdivisions, rezoning and new construction.

Normally the as-sessment office doesn’t compile detailed infor-mation about the Cari-boo Regional District assessment roll because it is so diverse, Johnson

said.“You get everything

from properties that are in farm classification, which is a lower statu-tory value, and you’ve also got properties on lakes, and such a wide variety of homes and it is difficult to character-ize averages effectively.”

Property owners who feel their property as-sessment does not re-flect market value as of July 1, 2013 or see

incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as indicated on their notice as soon as pos-sible in January.

At the moment the number of callers is comparable to 2013.

“It’s still pretty early,” Johnson said. “We are getting phone calls and at first we go over the information with the property owners - the physical information

about their property and then talk to them about sales in the area.”

And if that’s not sat-isfactory, owners have the option of appealing their assessment with the Property Assess-ment Review Panel by submitting a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by January 31, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel.

The Cariboo assess-ment office is located at Suite 202 – 350 Bar-nard Street in Williams Lake.

Meanwhile, in its latest annual report, the BC Northern Real Estate Board tallied 336 sales worth $68.6

million were reported through MLS® in 2013 for Williams Lake, up from 315 sales worth $68 million the previ-ous year.

Half of the 118 sin-gle family homes sold in 2013 sold for less than $221,500. Thirty parcels of vacant land, 85 homes on acre-age, 14 townhomes, 27 manufactured homes in parks and 34 manu-factured homes on land were also sold in 2013.

At the end of De-cember there were 358 properties of all types available through MLS® in the Williams Lake area, up slightly from 352 properties at the same time last year.

And what started out as a small busi-ness, has grown under Reid Sr.’s leadership (surviving the 2008-09 global recession) to the point where Pio-neer harvests its own timber, designs and custom builds lavish log homes for multi-millionaires as big as 100,000 square feet and delivers and sets them up at locations around the world.

Impressively, Pio-neer’s crew has built luxury log homes in 24 countries on five conti-nents.

“Nothing goes to-gether better than stone and wood and the sky. That’s as natu-ral as it gets … (and) there is nothing more satisfying,” Reid Sr. said of the work. 

“When we build a

log home for a client, we’re building some-thing they’ve dreamed about their whole lives.  … we help create and deliver that dream to the client.”

How Pioneer gets from the beginning of one of those dream projects to the stun-ning end result is the crux of Timber Kings, which captures the joys and challenges of set-ting up homes around the world and the sense of humour and com-radery amongst the crew, many of whom are actually family members, such as his son, Bryan Reid Jr.

“It’s a family busi-ness. We try to keep it family. It’s unbeliev-able how close we all are,” he said, adding the real life drama of deadlines and on-the-road challenges makes for good entertain-ment.

“We don’t have to create any drama (for Timber Kings). Once the logs leave the yard there are many things out of our control. We are faced with chang-ing weather and road conditions, delivery times, working with a new crane operator.”

Reid Sr. believes the show will also be a real eye-opener for the lo-cal community and will shine a positive light on his other pas-sion ––Williams Lake.

“We know we’re the best log home builders on earth. That’s a trib-ute to the team, and it’s a tribute to Wil-liams Lake. We really are a Williams Lake company through and through. It’s a beau-tiful place and we’re proud to be a part of Williams Lake.”

Timber Kings airs every Sunday evening on HGTV Canada.

Property assessments in lakecity remain ‘stable’

Police suspect alcohol may be to blame for an unusually high number of calls for service over the New Year’s holiday, said Inspector Warren Brown, officer in charge of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment.

During a 24-hour pe-riod on Jan. 1, RCMP responded to 58 calls for service — double the number compared to the same time last year.

“Many of the circum-stances were fuelled by alcohol, resulting in 17 prisoners being housed,” Brown said Friday, Jan. 3.

“An unusual number of domestic assaults and

domestic disturbances were part of this busy pe-riod. We were attending homes at 1 a.m. where domestic disturbances were happening. There were children there, a fight between mom and dad, and the Christmas tree was getting thrown out the window.”

In the 24-hour-period of time police attended the same home three times where a couple, with no children, had do-mestic disputes between them.

“They were given no contact orders and they breached those. I’m not being critical, but over a one-week period we went to over a dozen domestic files, which is really high,” Brown said.

Women’s Contact So-ciety executive director Irene Willsie said Christ-mas can be a very stress-ful time for families.

“It’s not unusual for tensions to be heightened over the holiday season,” she said. It’s a trend for a lot of things, for example suicide rates go up over the holiday season.”

Maybe people are stressed about money,

extra visitors in the house or not feeling connected to their family, she said.

Echoing Brown, Willsie said increased al-cohol use can contribute to building tensions.

“The other thing to keep in mind is that when calls increase like that it’s good people call and ask for help,” she said. “The more aware-ness we have the more likely people will know that they can call and there’s help available for them.”

Hopefully interven-tion can happen, Willsie said.

“Unfortunately Christ-mas and New Year’s are not always a fun time for everyone.”

Brown said on a posi-tive note, there were no serious motor vehicle ac-cidents despite high traf-fic volume and slippery roads. As far as New Year’s parties and young people, it was relatively good with nothing out of the ordinary to report.

And during the week-end of Jan. 6-8, things were quiet, probably be-cause the temperatures were cold, he added.

100 Mile House RCMP are encouraging people who live alone with significant health issues to make sure they have a plan in place to en-sure their safety in case of emergency.

The request follows an incident on Christmas day Dec. 25, 2013 in which a 79-year-old man was found in medical distress by a friend who went to check on him af-ter not hearing from him for several days.

The friend immedi-ately called 911,100 Mile House Fire/Rescue and B.C. Ambulance Service responded.

The man was rushed to hospital, bruised, cut, hypothermic and barely conscious.

It was later estimated by the attending physi-cian that the man had likely been laying on the

floor in distress in excess of 30 hours.

The police investiga-tion revealed that the in-jured man was diabetic and suffered significant medical complications.

Scene evidence indi-cated the man had trouble keeping his balance and had bumped into things.

The man was able to communicate with police at the hospital indicating that he had taken a bad fall where he could not get up. The man is being treated at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

“As a reminder for those who have signifi-cant/serious health re-lated issues it is prudent to ensure that you have a plan in place to ensure your safety,” said Cpl. C.D.H. Lange acting 100 Mile House detachment commander.

“There are emergency

services available where you can obtain a panic button for immediate medical dispatch. Please see your doctor for a re-ferral. It is also a good idea to have relative or friends to conduct peri-odic well being checks either by telephone or in person.”

PARKING REGULATION CHANGES Signs will be installed and enforcement

to commence in early January

In the area of Thompson Rivers University

1. No Parking signs will be installed from Blair to Midnight for the entire area on the TRU side of Western Ave.  This would address the current safety issues for vehicles pulling out of TRU onto Western as no vehicles would be parked on that side of the street allowing great visibility.

2. “Resident Only” parking system for the six residences across from TRU, where residents are given tags to be left on their dashboard to allow only those vehicles belonging to the residents to park in this area.

3. Street parking allowed from 8 am to 5 pm from the corner of Comer Park extending towards Columneetza on the park side of the street. (This would allow some on-street parking, roughly 30 spots for students during the day).

4. The end of the area as you approach Columneetza will be restricted to only 15 minute stopping to allow parents to pick up/drop off their children at Columneetza.  This area would extend to opposite the 4th residence in from Latin Street.

5. To ensure School buses the room to turn into the Columneetza School Bus pickup area, the no stopping area will extend from past Latin Street to in front of these first four residences on Western from Latin.

6. The remaining area in front of the residences on Western continuing to Blair will be “Residential Parking” Only.

7. Blair Avenue on the lower end towards Western will have no parking on both sides of the street (one side is already No Parking)  This street is very narrow and with vehicles parked on either side school buses can barely get by.

8. Latin and Beauchamp will be “Residential Parking Only” zones.

On 11th Avenue

1. Parking will be limited to the south side of 11th Avenue only between McKinnon Street and Pigeon Avenue at all times.

NO PARKING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN THE 24 HOURS BEFORE GARBAGE COLLECTION DAY

To improve snow removal service, the City will align snow removal with the garbage and recycling pickup schedule, and restrict street parking for a 24 hour period the day before the scheduled garbage pickup (i.e. if an area has garbage pickup on a Tuesday, street parking is not permitted on Monday.) This would limit the impact on most residential areas to only one set day a week, and allow snow removal crews to have these areas completely cleaned so that the garbage containers can be placed on the street for the day of their pickup.

Snow plowing will continue to be done as needed. Vehicles that impede snow removal operations may be towed.

FIREFIGHTERS WANTEDThe City of Williams Lake Fire Department is currently accepting applications for Paid-On-Call Fire Fighters. Applicants must live within the Williams Lake Fire Protection District.

If you are motivated, physically � t and over the age of 19 you may have a future in � re � ghting.

An informational session will be held at the Williams Lake Fire Hall, located at

230 Hodgson Road on Wednesday, January 15th, 2014 at 7:00pm.

Selection criteria will be reviewed.

For more information you can contact us at 250-392-4321 or see the City website at www.williamslake.ca; Departments – Protective Services – Fire Department (WLFD) – Recruiting Information – where you can view or download the information booklet which may answer some of your questions prior to attending the Information Session.

Applications will be available at the information session.

Applications will close on Friday, February 14th, 2014 at 4:30pm

Please note: Only applicants receiving interviews will be contacted.

We thank you in advance for your application.

VISITABLE HOUSINGIf you had a friend who uses a wheelchair could they come to your home for a visit? If you became ill or injured, lost mobility and needed to use a wheelchair, would you be able to live in your home? Most people consider features such as the safety of their neighbourhood, walking distance to services and proximity of bus stops and schools when seeking housing. Very few consider access for someone who has limited mobility and there is a limited number of homes available for this population in Williams Lake. Visitable Housing is a concept that asks for features so that individuals with limited mobility can come into your home. A home with basic access that is considered to be visitable has one entrance without any step from an accessible route, a doorway at least 32 inches wide and one bathroom on the same level as the entrance with no step. The bathroom would need a door width of at least 32 inches and enough space for someone to take their wheelchair in and be able to close the door.

Some communities in BC are considering bylaw changes for construction of new homes and residences to include some basic provisions so that someone with mobility issues could come for a visit or even live there. Retro fitting later on is costly, usually difficult, and not always possible. Considering the increasing population of older adults, the growing number of people with disabilities, and the fact almost all of our homes lack basic accessibility, the Accessibility Advisory Committee of Williams Lake encourages the City to encourage builders to increase visitable housing in new homes built in the community.

Accessibility Advisory Committee of Williams LakeCHRISTMAS TREE DISPOSAL

Christmas trees can be dropped off at the transfer station on Frizzi Road.

When the trees are dropped off at the transfer station, they are brought to the wood dump area where they are ground up and used for organic material cover on solid waste. There is no charge for this service, providing the customer does not have any more than 450 kilograms in the load at a time.

Avoid putting organic material, such as grass clippings, branches, or garden waste, in the solid waste cart. These items only add unnecessary weight to the solid waste stream and increase the costs for every resident in Williams Lake. This material can be brought to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi Road and dropped o� free of charge.

The only items that are permitted go into the curb side recycling cart are:1. Paper products – o� ce paper, magazines, newspapers.2. Cardboard – corrugated cardboard and regular cardboard such as a cereal box.3. Plastics – must have the recycling symbol on it and the number inside the symbol must be 1 through 7. No Styrofoam allowed.4. Metal food cans – food or beverage containers.

Note: all above mentioned products must be clean.

Other recyclable material, such as glass, lead acid batteries, or propane bottles that cannot be put in the curb side recycling cart can be dropped o� at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station. Even more recyclable items can be brought to several locations in Williams Lake that participate in the product stewardship program.

A list of these companies can be found at the Encorp website (http://www.encorp.ca/cfm/), the Encorp toll free number 1-800-330-9767, or by calling the BC Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667-4321.

Any questions can be directed to City Hall at 250-392-2311.

NO GLASS IN RECYCLING CARTSHere are some easy do’s and don’ts that can assist everyone in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you, as well as the City of Williams Lake’s contractor.

DOs DON’TsHave the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am.

Take the garbage/recycling cart o� the curb the same day as it is collected.

Put shredded paper in a bag. Loose paper may escape when tipping the cart.

Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbours.

Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially opened lids will not be picked up.

Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

Don’t put your carts on the street the night before your collection day. The cart’s subject to vandalism.

Don’t put the garbage/recycling carts any closer together than 1 meter.

Don’t leave your cart on the curb. This interferes with snow removal or street cleaning.

Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping.

Don’t take the carts when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

PLEASE DO NOT put glass in the recycling cart. Glass in the recycling cart could end up broken. Broken glass spoils the recyclables and puts the workers who do the sorting at a great risk of injury. Instead of putting glass in the curb side recycling cart, it can be taken to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station or Canadian Tire.

This first column of 2014 is actually a heartfelt note of thanks to the citizens of the Cariboo-Chilcotin

for their support of one another throughout 2013.

We are, most of all, a community of won-derful people — friendly, resilient, compas-sionate and willing to work together to sus-tain our amazing way of life.

I’ve had the honour of speaking with hun-dreds of amazing volunteers and dedicated service organizations who make a measure-

able difference to the quality of life in Cariboo-Chil-cotin. All of us owe them our re-spect, thanks and appreciation.

Whether it’s the men and women on our parent advisory councils, a food bank volunteer, a minor sports coach or trainer, a literacy tutor or a senior citizen activity facilitator, I’m indeed proud to know and support the great people who volunteer in our communities.

As your provincial representative in Vic-toria, it’s been my pleasure to work with many groups across the region, helping them apply for provincial funding through, for example, Community Gaming Grants.

These grants are designed to fit the needs of a wide variety of non-profit organiza-tions. Human and social services, arts and culture, sport, public safety and students’ extra-curricular activities— all these areas are supported through gaming grants to community organizations.

We are also blessed in Cariboo-Chilcotin to have some of B.C’s finest and dedicated workers in the fields of social service, public safety and health care. Our nurses, doctors, emergency services and search and rescue personnel, police and firefighters keep us safe and healthy and look after the needs of the most vulnerable. My hat is off to you, too.

And the doors to my constituency offices in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House are open to you, your family, your group, your business. I truly welcome your thoughts and suggestions, your viewpoints and issues.

As 2014 gets underway, I share two thoughts: It’s always the right time to volun-teer. It’s never too late to help one another.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Dr. Morton Doran has been ap-pointed a member of the Order of Canada for his efforts to raise

awareness of Tourette  Syndrome (TS) and for his commitment to medical education.  

Dr. Doran, who practised in Williams Lake in the 1980s, was already a successful surgeon when he realized  he had  the neurological condition, and he says if he’d known about

it earlier he prob-ably wouldn’t have pursued a medical career. He was the inspiration behind an episode of the TV series, Chica-go Hope, that fea-

tured a surgeon with TS, and his personal ex-perience was told in neurologist Oliver Sack’s 1995 book, An Anthropologist on Mars.

He has inspired many people to follow their dreams in spite of challenging circum-stances. After leaving the lakecity Dr. Doran practiced in Cranbrook and was a medical lecturer at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine.   

***More and more people these days have

smart phones glued to their hands and are either texting or talking on them.   

I have a mobile phone.  I think it’s smarter than me.  My family says to carry it with me so I can phone for help if necessary.  Unfor-tunately my phone doesn’t always co-oper-ate.  Most times when I want to use it either the battery is dead or the phone is at home getting itself recharged.

New Year’s resolution — do better with this. Traditional aids like canes don’t always cooperate either. A lot of walking surfaces are icy surfaces lately so I got a spiky attach-ment for my cane.  It works well, but the cane itself tends to stay where I left it, which isn’t always where I am when it’s needed.

Supporting one another

Cold, hard factsIf you got through the holiday season

without getting a cold or the flu, count yourself lucky.

This is flu season and many people are ending up sick and even in hospital.

But does that mean you should arm yourself with a vaccine? The Fraser Health Authority says yes, especially after more than a dozen people landed in hos-pital across the region, with many still be-ing ventilated on respirators.

The sufferers include pregnant women, some elderly people, and people with a chronic illness or who are severely over-weight. It seems like a no-brainer for peo-ple to get a flu shot, even now, with the cold and flu season half over.

Getting a flu shot is relatively painless, compared to the cold, chills, fever and other symptoms of a bad flu, it’s not that expensive, and they are available at just about every corner pharmacy, and the public health office. Many people qualify for free vaccines.

So what stops people from getting them?Well, the recent brouhaha with the BC

Nurses Union might have struck a blow

against the credibility of the vaccination campaign. Health care workers fought and lost a battle to force them to get man-datory vaccines and were told to submit to a needle or wear a mask. The union doesn’t believe health care workers should be forced to get a vaccination and there is dispute about the effectiveness of the flu shot.

Unlike most of us, nurses can get free vaccinations on the job site, but if the nurses aren’t 100 per cent behind a vacci-nation campaign, why should anyone else be?

Both the provincial nurses union and the Canadian Federation of Nurses sup-port vaccinations generally, just not man-datory shots for their workers, believing that education rather than discipline is better for raising vaccination rates.

That stance might appease union mem-bers wishing to assert their rights, but it’s giving the public a mixed message. If the flu shot is the right way to go, nurses and other health care workers should be set-ting an example for everyone.

Question of the weekDebunking the issue of race can help solve land disputes

Editor:

Race. What is it?We hear terms like stereotype

modes of behaviour associated with race and phobias of the unfamiliar.

People tend to be attracted to those who look similar — both in cultural and language terms.

People tend to feel uncom-fortable with those who look, do and talk differently than they do.

There are a smaller percent-age of those who are attracted to those who are different, however.

This is because they are per-ceived as exotic and romanti-cize the thrill of the unfamiliar.

Those who fear the unfamil-iar often on an unconscien-tious level tend to develop rac-ist viewpoints.

What’s interesting is race, from a scientific standpoint and biologically speaking,

doesn’t actually exist. It’s purely a social and cul-

tural modern invention.The idea didn’t even exist un-

til the early 1800s. Before the modern myth of

race was invented in modern society people were not catego-rized by race.

They were categorized by na-tionality, status and religion, although most pagan religions didn’t differentiate from one God to another as only Chris-tianity, Judaism and the mus-lim (Islam) religion did so.

No one was ever held as slaves because of race until the modern era.

For example, once the idea of race was taught in all the ac-ademic and educational fields early on, Mexicans were once categorized as whites.

But that changed quickly for political reasons in order to re-press competition for power.

Religion was often used to demonize dark-skinned people as being offsprings of the mark

of Cain from the Adam and Eve mythologies.

This promoted the erroneous belief that fair-skinned people were superior.

From this environment spawned Black Elk who, at the time, was considered an Ab-original messiah.

He was also educated by both the academics and the missionaries.

He created his own version of the medicine wheel with the four races.

Originally the colours rep-resented the four seasons but that was changed to races.

I keep on hearing the flawed argument that Aboriginal land claims are based upon race.

Aboriginal land claims in re-ality are based upon inheriting land from your ancestors.

Race is out of the equation. Although Crown land claims are not.

A need for balance has already been considered in panel report

Editor:

An open letter to mayor and council.

As one of the Cariboo mu-nicipalities attracted by the economic promises of Taseko Mines Prosperity project, you have noted the need for a bal-ance between the economy, en-vironment, social and cultural aspects of the proposal.

However, your advertise-ments suggest that economics trump the other three.

Your suggestion of balance seems disingenuous.

The City of Williams Lake’s support for the mine was con-ditional. Taseko’s proposal had to meet provincial and federal environmental standards, and First Nations were to be ad-equately consulted.

The first mine proposal did

neither and was rejected by the federal government.

The second proposal doesn’t meet those requirements, either.

The Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Agency panel’s 323-page report found serious environmental impacts.

It concluded “the effects are of high magnitude, regional, ir-reversible in the long term and that the ecological context is extremely sensitive. Because the significant adverse effect on fish is caused mainly by poor water quality and because the poor water quality was determined to be immitigable, the effect on fish and fish habitat is also im-mitigable.” (Panel Report, Oct. 31, 2013, CEAR #1178, p. 115).

The First Nations opposed both proposals.

The recent panel agreed: “The Panel concludes that the

Project would result in sig-nificant adverse effects on the Tsilhqot’in: current use of lands and resources for tradi-tional purposes, and on cul-tural heritage. These effects cannot be mitigated.” (Panel Report, Oct. 31, 2013, CEAR #1178, p. 197).

The independent Panel’s find-ings, which have incorporated a broad cross-section of public opinion and community con-cern, have already taken into account the aforementioned balance that you originally es-poused.

We suggest the city council and mayor revisit the findings of the panel; the ‘need for bal-ance’ has been considered in the panel’s report.

SD27 First Nation graduation rates improving

While Aborigi-nal graduation rates are climbing in B.C., School District 27 con-tinues to lag behind the provincial average when it comes to Ab-original and overall graduation rates.

The six-year com-pletion rate for Ab-original students in B.C. climbed to 59.4 per cent in 2012/13, according to a recent Ministry of Education report.

The six-year comple-tion rate for Aborigi-nal students in SD 27 improved margin-ally to 44.2 per cent in 2012/13, according to Superintendent Mark Thiessen’s 2013/14 Report on Student Achievement released in December and due in Victoria this month.

The six-year comple-tion rate is the percent-age of students who graduate with a Dog-wood diploma within six years of starting Grade 8 for the first time.

According to the provincial report the aboriginal student completion rate has steadily improved over the past 10 years, ris-ing from 45.9 per cent in 2002/03 (up 13.5 percentage points or a 29.4 per cent increase).

Thiessen’s report also indicates a steady rise in the six year com-pletion rate for First Nation students in SD 27 over the past few years: 44.2 per cent in 2012/13; 43.4 per cent in 2011/12; 38.3 per cent in 2010/11; 42 per cent in 2009/10; and 33 per cent in 2008/09.

Thiessen said the six year completion rates

for all students in SD 27, and especially for First Nations students, while continuing to show improvement, are still far too low.

According to the provincial report the six-year completion rate for all B.C. stu-dents was 83.6 per cent

last year, up from 79.1 per cent in 2002/03.

In SD 27 the six-year completion rate for all students was 69.7 per cent in 2012/13; 65 per cent in 2011/12; 67.7 per cent in 2010/11/ 65

per cent in 2009/10 and 64 per cent in 2008/09.

He noted the achievement gap be-tween First Nations students and non-First Nations students, al-though shrinking, re-

mains a concern for the district.

The achievement report outlines nu-merous initiatives to improve the gradua-tion rates of all SD 27 students including in-school suspension programs to keep stu-dents at risk connected to their school; new initiatives in reporting and monitoring atten-dance; comprehensive school health plans that promote a stu-dent’s sense of belong-ing; and a number of literacy and numeracy initiatives designed to help students succeed and stay in school to graduate.

He said the district continues to have evi-dence that all students (including First Na-tions students) who are

successful in reaching Grade 12 have a very high graduation rate.

According to the provincial report 53 school districts in B.C. have signed an Ab-original Education En-hancement Agreement which supports a part-nership between Ab-original communities and school districts that involves shared decision-making and specific goal-setting to meet the educational needs of aboriginal students.

SD 27 is one of them. Thiessen says there is a link to the district’s Aboriginal enhancement agree-ment on the district’s website as well as a link to the latest annual re-port on the agreement on the same page.

Cariboo heart in Victoria

As work continues to improve graduation rates for First Nations students in School District 27 Cariboo-Chilcotin residents can take pride and some solace in the fact that the Ministry of Educa-tion’s current superin-tendent of aboriginal achievement is home grown.

“As work is under-way to transform the education system, there is a strong focus on improving Aborigi-nal student achieve-ment and at the same time, looking for ways to have all of our students better un-derstand Aboriginal cultures and history,” DeDe DeRose said in the recent provincial report on Aboriginal achievement.

DeRose was born and raised in the Cari-boo-Chilcotin and spent the beginning of her career as a teacher in this district, says SD 27 Superintendent of Schools Mark Thies-sen.

“She then moved on to the Ministry of Education for a few years before landing in

the Kamloops School District as a principal,” Thiessen says. “She was appointed Super-intendent of Aborigi-nal Achievement for the Ministry of Educa-tion in 2012.”

The report con-tained a few quick facts about Aboriginal students and ministry spending to improve success rates for ab-original people.

• Aboriginal student enrolment in B.C. pub-lic schools in 2012-13 was 61,364 students, or 10.9 per cent of the total K-12 student population.

School District 27 has 1,334 First Na-tions students out of a total of 4,829 students, Thiessen reports.

“This works out to 27.6 per cent of our to-tal enrolment,” Thies-sen says.

• There were 3,319 Aboriginal students who graduated with a Dogwood in 2012/13, an increase of 72 per cent since 2002/03.

Thiessen says he doesn’t have the total numbers but he does have the percentages. In 2011/2012, SD 27’s six-year grad rate for First Nations students

was 43 per cent  In 2012/2013, our six year grad rate for First Na-tions students was 44 per cent.

• In 2012-13, ap-proximately $63 mil-lion ($1,160 per stu-dent) was provided to districts for students who self-identify as being of Aboriginal ancestry. This funding is in addition to per pupil funding provided to school districts, the report says.

“We want every Aboriginal student to achieve their best, and we have to ensure more of them graduate,” says Minister of Education Peter Fassbender. “As we work towards this goal, our partnerships with stakeholders and school districts will help us work collab-oratively with Aborigi-nal communities and in schools to promote new learning oppor-tunities and address challenges.”

Thiessen adds: “The school district receives other funding for our small schools and for special projects, but those funds are not part of our First Na-tions targeted fund-ing.”

Vying for position at the new year’s turkey shoot

operation red nose successfulAnother very suc-

cessful year of Op-eration Red Nose has come to a close, said community safety co-ordinator Dave Dixon.

“The 160-plus vol-unteers again took part in the Operation Red Nose tradition in providing 289 safe rides to residents of Williams Lake and im-mediate surrounding area,” Dickson said.

“This was the fifth year that the Rotary Club of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Community Policing took part in this out-standing program.”

Although Opera-tion Red Nose was operational only eight evenings instead of the traditional nine evenings, the Williams Lake team continued to see the demand for the program to grow.

“Several of the evenings were chal-lenging due to the weather conditions in December,” Dixon said. “Even with the adverse weather and road conditions, our volunteers were able to travel over 5,000 kilo-metres and safely pro-vide rides.”

Dickson thanked the “amazing” spon-sors who supplied ve-hicles, fuel, insurance, refreshments and ad-vertising.

“With these continu-ous commitments of support, Operation Red Nose will con-tinue to be available in our community,” Dickson said.

On a national level, this was the 30th na-tional annual cam-paign and it was marked by its one mil-lionth volunteer.

In Canada, 56,437 volunteers in 106 host communities provided rides for 82 ,530 mo-torists. In B.C., 4,347

volunteers took part in the Operation Red Nose tradition by pro-viding 7,768 rides to motorists who did not feel fit to drive. Proud to have safely driven so many people home during holiday fes-tivities, Operation Red Nose volunteers ended the campaign with a true feeling of accom-plishment. 

“This is outstanding and something to be very proud of,” Dick-son said.

MY BEST FRIEND

Buckwheat is a lively young cat that is family to one of the Animal Care Hospital’s Animal Health Technologists Zoe Vanzuylekom. Zoe’s mother drove him up to Williams Lake all the way from Port Coquitlam, BC as he could barely walk and was in a lot of pain. A� er doing some x-rays we con� rmed that Buckwheat had a broken leg and dislocated ankle. We immediately put him on medication to help cope with the pain. Zoe assisted Dr. Magnowski in repairing the injury using a plate and screws. Meanwhile Buckwheat has taken up a temporary residence at the Animal Care Hospital while Zoe is away for Christmas. He is now able to walk again, but needs to have “strict rest” as Dr. Magnowski says until healing is complete.

B.C.’s consumer price index slipped into negative territory in November, partly due the repeal of the harmonized sales tax last spring.

The price index in Vancouver was up slightly, but deflation in Victoria and other areas of the province produced a provincial average of -0.2 per cent for the month. Cana-da-wide, inflation was 0.9 per cent.

The cost of restau-rant food fell 4.4 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2012, Statis-tics Canada reported.

The provincial aver-age cost of health and personal care, includ-ing services where sales tax was removed, went down 3.1 per cent.

There were average price increases in food purchased from stores, up 1.1 per cent, cloth-ing up 1.3 per cent, transportation up 0.7 per cent and alcohol and tobacco products, up 1.7 per cent.

Average rent costs were up 1.0 per cent, but overall shelter cost was down 0.7 per cent, continuing a decline since mid-2012.

***B.C.’s population

grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.

It’s the largest popu-lation increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-permanent residents, which Statistics Cana-da warns are a volatile component of popula-tion measurement.

Northern B.C. com-munities are deal-ing with what they call “ghost popula-tions,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pres-sure on local services without contributing to communities.

Interprovincial mi-gration figures showed the seventh consecu-tive quarter of net loss for B.C., down 282 people from the sec-ond quarter.

B.C.’s total popula-tion increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people,

mainly due to inter-national immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Nat-ural growth (births mi-nus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

***The B.C. housing

market will see slow but steady growth over the next three years, according to a forecast by Central 1 Credit Union. The trade as-sociation for B.C. and Ontario credit unions predicts the num-ber of sales will rise about seven per cent to 72,500 in 2014, and reach 84,000 by 2016.

The median resale price is forecast to in-crease 1.5 per cent in 2014, 2.5 per cent in 2015 and three per cent in 2016.

New home sales are expected to rebound by about 30 per cent in 2014, but remain at a low level of 15,500 units sold, said Central 1 economist Brian Yu.

New construction in the Lower Main-land Southwest region is expected to decline slightly due to high in-ventory, while housing starts are forecast to rise in most other areas of the province.

There are hardly any repeated dishes and there is so much to choose from such as appetizers, salads, veg-gie dishes, both hot and cold, and lots of des-serts.

The McLeese Lake Hall Committee pro-vides the main course and would like to ex-tend its gratitude to Greg Foster, Gigi Gos-selin, Jackie King, Maj Sutherland, Kate Jal-bert, Kathy Suski and Kathy Carter for cook-ing the three hams and three turkeys and to all the other cooks as well.

Following supper was musical entertainment which was arranged by the Carter family.

They always treat the guests to a very enjoy-able time for which ev-eryone is grateful. After this, the children were thrilled to receive a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

They were able to sit on his knee and whis-per to him excitedly what they wanted for Christmas. It was a very special time. Last but not least was the fund raising auction. As has been the case for the past several years, this

part of the evening would not be the suc-cess it is without the direction of auctioneer Terry Fowler.

He has such a knack for making the bid-ders want to dig a little deeper and help make this the biggest fund raiser of the year for the McLeese Lake Hall.

We can’t thank Terry enough for always be-ing a part of this annual event.

Terry helped the Committee raise over

$2,700 which will go towards renovations of the Hall Building. We would also like to extend two huge thank yous to all of the busi-nesses and individu-als who supported the Auction and to all the community members who bid on the items.

Without your dona-tions and bidding, this event would not be such a great success. A very big thank you goes to Samuel and Clarence Culp, Audrey Krell,

Kathy Suski and yours truly (Rhonda) for all the help with the Auc-tion. The committee members were also very pleased to be able to donate approximately one hundred and ten pounds of food to the food bank. These items were donated by the guests.

Thank you to all the community members who helped with both set-up and clean-up. Many hands make light work and it was proven once again with every-one who showed up.

It was an incredibly successful evening and we all look forward to the 16th annual in De-cember, 2014.

The committee would also like to remind local residents that they will be holding their Winter Fun Day on Saturday, Feb. 8 behind the Oa-sis Café from noon to 4 p.m.

Events of the day will include lunch, hay rides, ice fishing, snow ma-chine runs and a camp fire to hang around and visit with friends and family.

A silent auction will also be held to raise funds for the hall, so please bring any items that you are able to do-nate.

Looking forward to seeing you at this fun filled event!

How you can helpwith snow removal

VehiclesYou can help make snow cleanup more

effective and ef� cient by avoiding parking on residential streets whenever possible, especially the day before your garbage/recycling collection day. CartsGarbage and recycling carts left on the

curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or ef� ciently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m. on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection. This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.SidewalksPlease remember, it is property owners’

responsibility to clear the sidewalk in front of your homes and businesses.

HAPPY 2014 EVERYONE!

The Williams Lake Film Club has just been informed that the film INUK will not be available for screening next Tuesday, Jan. 14, but at a later date.

Instead we will be showing the Danish film The Hunt in which a day-care teacher has been accused of sexual misconduct.

Gripping, smartly written and with a strong performance by Mads Mikkelsen,

The Hunt asks difficult questions - and has the courage to face the an-swers head on. Look for more information in Friday’s paper.

Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6

It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time. Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this. Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations. One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling. In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not re-placed with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.

Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada. Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),

which are both 4-cylinder equipped models. The top trim is the EX-L Navi with V6. This top trim level is the model seen here: it comes with LED projector head-lamps, 18-inch wheels and duel chrome exhaust tips. The 4-cylinder equipped models come with halogen headlamps and 17-inch alloy wheels. The coupe starts at $26,400, a $2,500 premium over the regular sedan but when the sedan is equipped with alloy wheels, the price is almost identical. The EX-L is $30,100 for the leather and navi and the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an inexpensive car but most are very well equipped.

Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small. Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats. Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class. There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials. One area that could be improved is the

way the radio stores and retrieves pre-set radio stations. It took a long time to set the stereo up and having to go back and forth between different screens is not that intuitive. The rest of the dash is large, with big cup holder and plenty of storage areas. The steering wheel buttons and heat controls on the dash use first rate switches and they are placed with precision.

Drive Another trend that Honda is bucking, with this Accord Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed manual transmission and V6 engine. The latest movement is to turbo or super-charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6 power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.-ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylin-der models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manu-al transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel sav-ings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The

V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway.

Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission. I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most compa-nies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now. Soon Honda will have smaller turbo-charged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

The 2014 Toyota Tundra has deep roots in the Wild, Wild West.The 1794 Edition is a tribute to the ranch, founded in the year 1794, on which the Tundra plant is located in San Antonio, Texas. In 2002, Toyota began the search for a US facility to build the second generation Toyota Tundra. The 2,000-acre ranch site was acquired and ground breaking took place Oct 17, 2003. Just like the ranch it replaced, hard work and dedication pre-vailed bringing production numbers up to 200,000 units. On September 18, 2013, the one-millionth truck, a Sunset Bronze Mica colored, 1794 Edition Tundra, rolled out. This truck has a complete-ly new body design with an aggressive grille that extends from the bumper to the raised hood. The fender flares are larg-er and more defined, and the tailgate has Tundra stamped into the sheet metal. The top of the line West-ern themed 1794 Edition comes with a unique chrome grille and chrome and silver bumper. It’s almost like a large belt buckle!The inside screams Country music with its exclusive premium saddle tan brown leather seats with embossed and suede accents. Soft-touch materials are found on the center console, the front and rear door trim, and the instrument panel. Rich

maple wood-grain covers the steering wheel, dash and shifter. Big improve-ment to the back seat of the Double Cab and Crew Max where a 60/40 split bench flips up with a one handed latch to allow more cargo space. The Tundra is equipped with Toyota’s advanced display audio system with AM/FM Radio, CD, MP3/WMA capability, USB and auxiliary input, and voice recognition. It also in-cludes standard Bluetooth and an integrated backup camera. A SR model has a 6.1-inch display, while the SR5, Limited and Platinum models feature a 7-inch display with integrated Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Two engines available, depending on the model you choose. The 4.6 L i-force V8 that puts out 310 horsepower and 327 lb ft of torque and the 5.7 L i-force V8 with 32 valve dual overhead cam engine that generates 381 horsepower and 410 lb ft of torque. Both motors are connect-ed to a 6 speed automatic transmission with sequen-

tial shift mode. Fuel economy numbers are:5.7 L: 14.2/10.5 L/100 km (city/highway)4.6 L: 11.0/13.6 L/100 km (city/highway)Driver and front passenger airbags, roll-sensing, head/side curtain and front mounted side airbags, and the first 1/2 ton pickup to include driver and front passenger knee airbags. Toyota’s star safety system includes electronic brake force distribution, smart stop technology, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stabil-ity control, and active traction control. The side mirrors have the blind spot monitor system that detects a vehicle in your blind spot.The ride was a perfect combination of on-road comfort and off-road toughness. The truck has exceptional steering response and firm enough not to nose dive in the corners. The seats are spacious and very comfortable; I com-pare it to a living room couch with seat belts. It has a very quiet cabin, which I found to be true with the previous model, with very little road noise. I am happy they continued with the larger oversized buttons and knobs, which you can operate while wearing gloves. With the popularity of the Tundra growing, I can easily see the two-millionth truck roll out before the next design change.

Subaru Forester 2009 to 2012: A dependable, utilitarian rideBy Bob McHugh A redesigned third-gener-ation Subaru Forester was an early 2009 model year release. A new look, better perfor-mance, enhanced safety features and more interior space were all achieved without drastic changes to the exterior dimensions of this popular compact utility vehicle.A “Boxer” type engine, with horizontally opposed cylinders (like a Porsche engine), and a symmetrical all-wheel-drive system distinguish a Subaru, as a Subaru. Forester has an excellent history of mechanical de-pendability and the Subaru essentials are packaged with a practical, utilitarian body. Compared to the previous generation Forester, the ’09 came with a new chas-sis with a wider track and a longer wheelbase (by 9 cm), plus a new double wishbone rear suspension. The structural changes also yielded extra cargo space and more rear pas-senger head and legroom.The single overhead camshaft base engine can produce 170-horsepower and fuel economy is rated at 10.6/7.5 L/100 km (city/highway). While reliable, it’s no rock-et and flat-out accelera-tion to 100 km/hour takes more than 10 seconds. Agile handling does help compensate for tame straight-line speed. A turbocharged variant has twin-camshafts and can produce 224-horse-power. However, it likes premium fuel and consumes 10.9/8.3 L/100 km (city/highway). Manual transmission models have an electronic “hill holder” feature. When stopped on an incline this feature delays release of the foot brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward and gives the driver more time to achieve a smooth take-off. The automatic option was a conventional four-speed.Forester got top marks from the Insurance Insti-tute for Highway Safety

(IIHS) in its rollover test. The roof is more than dou-ble the strength required by U.S. federal safety standards. In addition to all-wheel-drive system, a Forester comes with anti-lock brakes and an electronic stability control system called Vehicle Dynamics Control. It also provides what Sub-aru describes as a ‘virtual’ limited slip rear differen-tial function. The 2009 Forester was offered in four trim levels; 2.5X, 2.5X Touring Pack-age, 2.5X Limited and a 2.5XT Limited model with a turbocharged engine. Even a base Forester 2.5X comes well equipped with heated seats, air condi-tioning, power windows and mirrors, roof rails, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio

controls.A new PZEV (partial-ze-ro-emissions-vehicle) edi-tion of Forester was added for the 2010 model year. Emissions are about 90 per cent lower than most (2010) vehicles, according to Subaru. In 2011, the base 2.5-litre boxer engine got a double overhead camshaft up-grade, plus new bore and stroke dimensions. While maximum output remained at about the same level, more power is available at a lower rpm and fuel economy improved.

Other than a new height-adjustable front passenger seat no signif-icant changes were made in 2012.The reliable Subaru For-ester is a very impressive blend of utility, comfort, handling and fuel efficien-cy in a compact package. While Forester has a loyal following, Subaru’s smaller dealer network may be an issue, depending where you live, and used resale values are typically higher than average.

Under the frozen silver metallic exterior coat of the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe parked at my home was a powerplant, not for the faint of heart.The Two Twin-scroll Turbo-chargers (BMW’s TwinPow-er Turbo Technology) along with a 4.4L, V8 generates 552 horsepower of gargan-tuan fun. – But that smile can be turned upside down quickly if it starts to snow. Does that mean you need to park this potent piece of German engineering until the spring? Not at all.Granted, the “M” badge symbolizes that this 4-door coupe has a healthy dose of the German automaker’s renowned performance and it means it has a rear-wheel drive configuration. Other 6 Series nameplates without the M designation (whether the Cabriolet, Coupe or Gran Coupe) come with the xDrive all-wheel drive system.So when the sky starts to fall and results in slippery roads, what is one to do with a vehicle that is track ready straight from the dealer’s lot? - Get snow tires!I picked up some tips ahead of my ride from John Mahler, who has been in the automotive industry for

decades as both a racecar driver or as a coach. He is currently the owner and chief instructor of Max Per-formance Driving and is the director of Bridgestone’s Canadian Winter Driver Training program.He says, “As the tempera-tures drop, all-season tires get firmer and the rubber hardens up. Winter tires don’t harden up. And that’s the big differ-ence.”Mahler continued, “Traction essentially depends on the tire’s rubber conforming to the tiny, minute, irregular-ities in the pavement… If the rubber gets too hard, it just can’t do that, so it slips. Meaning, it’s not just for snow and ice, but also for cold pavement.”

Thankfully, the M6 Gran Coupe had them because it could have been an inter-esting situation. And while one might be tempted to put the twin tur-bochargers to good use in adverse conditions, Mahler advised against it. Before I fired up the beast, I asked Mahler for some tips for all drivers.He responded thusly: “It’s real simple one. And it’s the one that should be at the top of everyone’s list: Slow down.”A close second, he men-tioned, is, “Practice looking ahead.”“One of the things that you should be doing when you’re driving in slippery conditions is break down the jobs your tire has to do.”He expands, “If you need to brake for a corner, make sure you that you brake in a straight line before the corner so that you have all the available grip for slowing the car.”Other tips Mahler offers is to test out how much traction you have by applying your brakes. In the case of the M6, they’re the M Carbon Ceramic Brakes ($6,750), which are designed to stop you in a flash. But if’s there’s no traction, the pricey option isn’t going

to help much.But on the days where grip is plentiful, and you can enjoy the ride a little bit more, the M6 Gran Coupe has a lot to offer. Not only is it, in my opinion, one of the sexiest vehicle’s

BMW has ever produced; it comes loaded with the features that make you feel warm and fuzzy on a winter’s day. Like the Bang and Olufsen Sound System ($5,900.) It’s music to the ears.

Following Mahler’s tips, I had no mishaps and really enjoyed the drive. In fact, if I hadn’t seen the white stuff on the ground I would have sworn I was driving in dry conditions.Driving conservatively and

letting the 7-speed Double Clutch Transmission with Shift Paddles do its work made for a satisfying and safe drive.

Charging ahead with plug in hybrids and all-electric carsBy Keith Morgan

The future of cars may be electric but do not expect 2014 to be the dawn of the new age.In fact, I predict there’s a long road ahead for manufacturers trying to woo the driving public into buying a car with a chord attached.Throw in the sales numbers for all-electric cars, plug-in hybrids and gas-battery hybrids and they don’t come anywhere near five percent of total vehicle sales. The commercial conundrum is that these (more) eco-friendly vehicles come with a premi-um sticker price beyond most

folks and the only way to bring them in range is to sell many more!

Most provincial governments have incentive rebates for those that make a green choice. While successful to a degree, they alone are going to turn us all on.If gas prices soar then some more buyers will go the hy-brid route but that said there are an awful lot of four-cylin-der vehicles out there that are remarkably economical on gas. Let’s get our heads out of the dark clouds and accept that economy of purchase and operation are what drives most sales. I am not an electric car naysayer, far from it, but we have to recognize that much needs to happen before the

majority buy into this future. Sticker price is one thing but the single biggest challenge has to be the slow pace of infrastructure to fast-charge cars, whose batteries have run down mid-journey.‘Range anxiety’ is a major mental obstacle for those with the resources to contemplate the purchase of an all-electric car such as the Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi iMIEV. For that reason, it seems likely that the likes of the Chevrolet VOLT will enjoy more sales success as a main means of transport because an onboard gas-powered generator is ready to kick in to recharge the battery when

the juice runs out. Similarly, the new BMWi3 while avail-able as a pure electric vehicle can also be purchased with a range extending engine.Other manufacturers are set to follow that same route but in the meantime, the plug-in hybrid, which combines the pulling power of a gas engine and electric motor is the early winner of people’s green-tinged hearts. But back to the thorny issue of infra-structure. Many advocates want government to play a lead role but with all the demands made on the public pure that’s a dead end street. Maybe the tax incentives they can offer will encourage the

private sector.For instance, the Canadian company Sun Country Highway has announced plans for a charging station network along the length of the Trans-Canada Highway. Other companies operating alongside major highways are extracting planning conces-sions from local government by installing recharging points. Hats off to BMW and its holistic approach. The German giant is collaborating with small tech companies, who will work with custom-ers to make sure their homes don’t require a major power refit just to own one of the new i3s.

And, as Dr. Ian Robertson, a BMW management board member, told me at the LA Auto Show recently there are many other power opportu-nities right in front our eyes. Urban areas are awash with street lights, which could be used as a source for curbside recharging.He also pointed out that there are many discontinued public phone sites in today’s cities. They have power wired to them and are ready to be tapped, should the phone company want to make a profit of more than a quarter per call.

Williams Lake Tribune Wednesday, January 8, 2014 www.wltribune.com A21

Many of the road-houses on the Cariboo Wagon Road had an interesting and colourful past, but none of them could match the story of the Mile 108 Roadhouse between 1875 and 1885.

During that time, the roadhouse was located at the junction of the Cariboo Wagon Road and a fur brigade trail which led to Harper’s Camp (Horsefly).

This original location is across the highway from the present 108 Mile Heritage site).

The roadhouse was owned and operated by Scots woman, Agnes McVee and her “hus-band” Jim.

Agnes was a buxom, strong, attractive woman who had come from Scotland to settle in B.C.

According to old legal records found in the old country, she was wanted for seven murders and three beatings in her home town.

It was also said that she could lift a 200 pound sack of grain with ease.

At the time, the Mile 108 roadhouse was a three-story inn.

Agnes ran the place, Jim tended to the horses and livestock, and did all

of the chores around the place.

Al Riley, the bartender, was a scheming, muscular young man who was also Agnes’s son-in-law. Both men were completely dominated by Agnes. It was common knowledge that at this roadhouse, a traveller could purchase food, liquor, and lodging, and, for a price, a young woman.

Girls who were run-ning away from home often came through the area on their way to the gold fields of the Cariboo, hoping to find a rich husband.

It was said that Agnes would capture these girls, tie them up with ropes, and keep them manacled in one of the outbuild-ings until she could sell them. But the story gets worse. When a man stopped at the roadhouse with money, looking to purchase a companion, or even just for an eve-ning’s board and room, Al, the bartender, would ply him with whiskey.

After several drinks, Al would make an excuse to leave the room.

He would creep outside, meet up with Agnes, who handed him a loaded rifle, and then he would shoot the unsus-pecting traveller from behind through an open window.

Meanwhile, Jim had a horse already harnessed to a wagon and waiting.

The three of them would load up the corpse and take it to the nearby lake where it was dumped in, and just left there.

Those who were found were assumed to have been murdered and robbed by outlaws, according to the local authorities.

Madams of houses of ill repute, farmers, mer-chants, miners, and pro-spective buyers of Agnes’s young women were all to fall victim to these three murderers. Over a 10 year period, it is said that the remains of at least 59 bodies were found in the small lakes of the area.

Agnes would take the loot carried by her vic-tims, most of it in gold nuggets or coin, and bury it near the roadhouse.

According to various estimates, Agnes had more than $150,000 buried in various caches in the area.

Jim would take the

horses of the victims, waiting until he had col-lected a string of them, then he would head south to Fort Kamloops, where he became quite well known as a wealthy horse dealer.

Then, suddenly, it all fell apart for the three villains. A good looking gambler with the last name of MacDonald appeared. He wanted to buy a girl to take with him to the goldfields.

The usual plan was implemented, and when Al Riley joined Agnes outside to do the shoot-ing, she refused to give him Instead, she went back into the roadhouse and the next morning she sold MacDonald a comely 17-year-old girl for $4,000.

He left with the girl and rode off towards the north. But Jim followed the pair, and returned that evening with a sack of gold coins.

Agnes angrily con-fronted her husband, and Jim admitted to killing MacDonald. He gave Agnes the sack of coins.

The next morn-ing, Agnes appeared to have forgiven Jim, and she cooked him a hearty breakfast. Part way through, he stopped and fell to the floor, rolling about with violent con-vulsions.

Jim died shortly after, poisoned by Agnes.

Agnes warned her son-in-law to say nothing about Jim’s death.

But Agnes and Jim

had forgotten about the girl. Local law enforce-ment officers found her wandering along the road. She told them the whole story, the kidnap-ping and murders.

Just as Agnes and Al were carrying Jim’s body out to the wagon, the law arrived at the roadhouse.

Agnes told them that her husband had acciden-tally eaten some rat poi-son, and that they were preparing to give him a proper burial. She denied any murders and denied there were any girls at the place.

However, after some “persuasion” Al Riley broke down and admit-ted everything. When the place was searched, the law found eight young girls, all chained together and half starved.

Agnes McVee and Al Riley were taken to Fort Kamloops then on to New Westminster, charged with kidnapping and murder.

Agnes had somehow hidden some of the poi-son she used on Jim, and in June 1885, shortly before she was brought to trial, she committed suicide by poisoning. Al was found guilty of all charges and hanged.

In 1892, the road-house was torn down and moved to the other side of the Cariboo Wagon Road.

There, the wood was used to build a telegraph office/ store and post house, which are still standing today.

A very happy new year to all good seniors out there.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas spending quality time with family and friends.

Now we need to get out and walk off those good meals we enjoyed and hopefully lose some of those inches we’ve added to our waistlines. I enjoyed my holiday immensely visiting with Noel and my family at the coast. I didn’t miss the cold weather and snow at all.

The Seniors’ Centre opened again on Jan. 6 so drop in and enjoy lunch with your friends.

Memberships are due for 2014. The OAPO Branch 93 monthly meeting is on Thursday Jan. 9 at 1 p.m. at the centre. New members are always welcome, so come and find out what is going on in the new year to make life better for all seniors. Tea, cof-fee and refreshments are served after the meeting to social with members.

The OAPO will be having their annual Valentine Tea on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 2 p.m. at the Seniors Centre. The tea is in honour of those seniors 80 years and over so bring your mother, grandmother or a friend for an enjoyable afternoon. The Seniors’ Activity Centre annual

general meeting will be held in February at the Seniors Centre. Watch

for the time and date later as its important to have a good turnout.

We hope that 2014 brings the world, peace, hope, joy and love.

Nothing makes healthy eating easier than having nutritious, simple recipes for everyday meals. The BC Government put together a few recipes packed with nutrients for seniors to try out, including this one for quesadillas.

Quesadilla Payments up in 2014

Medical premiums for all but low-income B.C. residents go up again with the start of a new year.

The B.C. government is increasing its Medical Services Plan premiums for the fifth straight year, by four per cent across the board. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation released its annual sur-vey of tax and other pay-roll deductions Monday, calculating that MSP premiums in B.C. have risen 28 per cent since 2010. Effective Jan. 1, the monthly health pre-mium for a single per-son rises from $66.50 to $69.25. In 2014, families of two pay $125.50, up from $120.50, and fami-lies of three or more pay $138.50, up from $133.

Many full-time

employees have their MSP premiums paid by their employer. People earning $30,000 or less are eligible for reduced premiums on a sliding scale, with premiums eliminated for those earning $22,000 a year or less.  The B.C. gov-ernment has used the increased MSP rev-enues to offset the long-term growth of health care costs, which are approaching half of the total provincial budget.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s 2013 budget projected health spending to increase 2.3 per cent in the current fiscal year, 2.7 per cent in the year beginning April 1 and only 2.2 per cent the following year. The government’s crit-ics called that unrealistic after years of increases of more than five per cent.

The CTF reports that

Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance payments are also going up for many people, despite a federal govern-ment pledge to freeze EI premiums for three years. In its New Year Tax Changes report, it calcu-lates that maximum EI premiums will go up $23 in 2014, totalling $914 for the year.

If you have ever watched rugby and didn’t quite get how the game was being played or have much of a clue as to just what was going on out there, then please don’t look to this game for guidance or clarity.

This is the Snow Game and there’s no game like it. (Sorry, had to.)

This is not the place to learn all-there-is-to-know-about-rug-by-but-were-afraid-to-ask; it is, however, a great place to look for an afternoon filled with a lot of laughs, fresh air, friends, family and maybe, just maybe, a cold beer and a hot bowl of chilli.

This isn’t seven-a-side rugby or even 15-a-side.

This is however-many-people-show-up-to-play-divided-by-two-aside.

This rugby game may be split into conventional halves, but has been played in thirds or quarters or pretty much until the old guys say so.

This is the one day of the year when you will see the Williams Lake Rustlers, the Hustlers and the Cariboo Old Boys all take to the pitch at once.

The snow game pits coaches against players, brothers against sisters and fathers against sons.

Leave it to the pioneers of Wil-liams Lake’s Polar Bear Swim to tackle each other into the snow for fun and no profit.

This year’s game was blessed by high attendance both on and off the pitch, exceptional weather, lots of fluffy snow, and a couple of local-turned-national rugby celeb-rities.

Jake Illnicki and Kayla Moles-chi both carved some time out of their professional athletic careers

to join their former team mates, coaches and friends for the after-noon.

It was most gracious of them to not maim anyone too badly.

When I asked a meteorologist about the unlikeliness of the ex-cellent weather, near-perfect pow-dery snow and fortuitous lack of wind, I was told that it was likely due to the overwhelming amount of Stampede Belt Buckles present, creating something akin to the Bat Signal.

He explained that this was a di-rect result of the trifecta of divi-sion-winning rugby excellence that was the 2013 Stampede Rugby Tournament.

Whatever the case, it was truly a perfect day at the Ottoman fields … and I may have made up the part about the meteorologist.

Bantam Timberwolves win KIBIHT consolation final

The bantam tier two Williams Lake Timber-wolves finished with three wins and three losses at the prestigious Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament.

The T-wolves de-feated the Vancouver T-Birds, 5-3, on Sunday to wrap up five days of competition at the tour-nament, which ran at the Interior Savings Centre, the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre and the Memorial Arena from Jan. 1-5.

Conley Pinette scored twice while Trey Thom-as, William Paynton and

Erik Bunce added sin-gles for Williams Lake in the winning effort.

The Timberwolves opened their tournament with a game against the North Delta Sun Devils, picking up a 5-4 win.

The lakecity squad opened up an early two goal lead in the second period and were in con-trol of the contest until running into a handful of penalty trouble taking six consecutive penal-ties and surrendering four goals with just three minutes left in the game.

Williams Lake, how-ever, stormed back with three quick goals,

potting the winning goal with one minute and 30 seconds left to play. Cody Swan was credited with the game winner, with Paynton, Jordan Bunce, Thomas and Pinette added lone markers. Hayden Lyons picked up the win for Williams Lake.

In their next game penalty trouble contin-ued to plague the Tim-berwolves as their op-ponents, the Kelowna ‘AA’ Rockets, potted seven power play goals to put Williams Lake away, 9-4. In the fol-lowing game against the Penticton Vees the Tim-

berwolves, again, had trouble outscoring their opponents, falling 5-1.

Based on their round robin record Williams Lake was relegated to the consolation round where they met the Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA). Wil-liams Lake battled hard, however, came out on the wrong end of a 5-4 decision.

The loss then saw the T-wolves take on the Salmon Arm Silvertips, picking up a 5-4 win. Scoring for Williams Lake were Erik (2), Thomas (2) and Payn-ton.

Olympic team roster Tuesday morning, fol-lowing an announce-ment from Hockey Canada.

LDA program finds new home at CDC

The Williams Lake Learning Disabilities Association has a new home and a new teacher.

The program has been moved to the Williams Lake and Dis-trict Child Development Centre on Second Avenue and will be co-ordinated by Sydney Wolsten-holme.

Wolstenholme grew up in Wil-liams Lake and took her univer-sity training in Kamloops. She earned a bachelor of arts with a major in theatre and completed her teaching degree last April.

Wolstenholme is restructuring the tutorial program so that stu-dents attend one-hour sessions, four to five days a week for a four-week session between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. on week days.

That way she says the things students work on will stay with them longer.

“When a student only takes

a tutorial one day a week the teacher tends to end up teaching the same material over again to reinforce what they have forgot-ten, but an intense four weeks cements the learning and there is much less likelihood the stu-dent will lose the skills they have learned.”

To start, she says she will be holding sessions for children in grades 1 to 7 only.

The hope is to expand the pro-gram to secondary students next year.

She says students don’t have to be diagnosed with a learning disability to qualify for the pro-gram. They may just find them-selves a bit behind in math and reading.

She says math and reading cou-pled with good study skills are the foundations for learning in other areas of study such as science and social studies.

Wolstenholme grew up in Wil-liams Lake and became involved

in theatre in high school at Columneetza Secondary School and with the Studio Theatre.

People may remember her as Nurse Kay Saddler in the Studio Theatre production of Whose Life is it Anyway and in the cho-rus of the musicals Fame and An-tigone.

She says the LDA program is an opportunity for her to work in teaching and return home to be close to her family.

The LDA program will be op-erated in partnership with the CDC as a pilot project, says ex-ecutive director Nancy Gale.

“The LDA had been at our Fourth Avenue location and is coming to the CDC now that the Women’s Contact Society has moved entirely into that space.”

Gale also welcomes the pro-gram as an opportunity to have all of the programs for children’s services under one umbrella.

She says the fee structure has also been set low to make sure the

LDA program is as accessible as possible for all children who are struggling in school.

“We are very excited about this partnership,” Gale says. “If we can operate successfully for a year then we can apply for gam-ing funds.”

LDA chair Tihol Tiholov is also pleased with the move and the fact that the program will now have a stable base of operations.

“The move is very positive,” Ti-holov says. “We really appreciate the partnership with the CDC be-cause of their long record serving children, their very well-known location, and working with a pro-fessional teacher.”

Tiholov says they also welcome new LDA board members and volunteers to help with expand-ing the program.

The program is currently sup-ported by donations, the primary contributors being the Telus em-ployees group and the Williams Lake Film Club.

Brian was born July 28, 1947 in Port Arthur, ON (Thunder Bay) to Dorothy Jean Preece and Ernest William Goddard. He passed away December 18, 2013 at his home near Likely, BC. He was predeceased by his father Ernie in November 1947. He lived in Port Arthur from 1947 to 1959, when his mother remarried and the

family moved to Kakabeka Falls, ON. In 1965 he joined the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, 3rd Regiment and served until 1968. After leaving the army he worked as a heavy duty mechanic, working in mines in North Western Ontario and British Columbia. He leaves his wife of 19 years, Maureen, his mother Jean Ditmars, sister Kelly Ditmars, both of Victoria, BC and older sister Sharon Brooks (Jim) of Grande Prairie, AB, three children in Ontario, as well as several nieces and nephews and his giant white dog Bella.A graveside service will be held at Quesnel Forks later this spring in Likely, BC. The family wishes to thank Dr. Van Der Merwe for her excellent care through the years. Donations may be made in Brian’s name to the Williams Lake SPCA.

Brian William Goddard July 28, 1947 - December 18, 2013

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our sister, daughter, aunt, cousin and friend on New Years Eve 2013.

u monary Hypertension and has fought a courageous va iant ba e since that me.

That did not stop Sandra from en oying the aughter of her many nieces and nephews, camping trips, the peace of shing when she cou d and connec ng with o d friends. Sandra spent the ast few years iving in ernon C. She is survived by her om - nna rice, brothers - im ( aria),

Barry Martin LangWith great sadness, we announce the passing of Barry Martin Lang on December 26, 2013 after a brief battle with cancer.

We all know Barry as hard-working, full of fun, and generous to a fault. He loved to spoil family and friends:

outings at the lake swimming, fishing, and tubing; sledding, skiing

and tobogganing in the Cariboo snow; golfing; adventures with the grand-puppies;

and food, the more varied the better, shared with delightful exuberance. Gatherings with Barry were always lively, warm, inviting and full of laughter. As innumerable family anecdotes can attest, he was always ready with a prank, too. Perhaps to his chagrin, his children were quick studies and happy to return these in kind. Barry has left a legacy of love and laughter that we are sure will always live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.

Barry will be greatly missed by all those he has left behind: his loving wife, Leona; daughter Amanda, son-in-law Klaus; daughter Sabrina, son-in-law Jeremy, grandson Eli; daughter Tracey, son-in-law Mike, granddaughter Nyomi; daughter (and golfing partner) Melissa; son Andrew, daughter-in-law Lindsey, grandson Silas; siblings Cynthia, Rod and Gene; brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews too numerous to name yet greatly loved nonetheless.

A gathering for family and friends to celebrate Barry’s life will be announced in the summer. Those wishing to honour Barry’s memory by way of donation are encouraged to do so to the Central Cariboo Hospice Palliative Care Society.

Like many smokers, Dan wants to quit.

He has heard that electronic cigarettes, also known as e-ciga-rettes, eCigs or vapour cigarettes, might be helpful. But with all the controversy about them in the news and on the internet, he isn’t sure.

Dan is skeptical, he has noticed e-cigarettes are not just sold in phar-macies like other quit smoking aids. They can be found at convenience stores and gas sta-tions often strategically placed near conven-tional cigarettes. Dan also knows that tobacco companies are making them and he doesn’t trust that they would make a product to help people quit smoking.

Dan also wonders how they can help smokers quit when they look and act like regular cigarettes. He has heard that quitting smoking can be as difficult as quitting heroin but he also knows that when people are trying to quit injecting heroin doc-tors don’t prescribe a drug delivered through a needle.

E-cigarettes are ciga-rette shaped tubes that simulate the sensation of smoking. Batter-ies in the tubes heat up a fluid filled cartridge that gives off a vapour which looks like smoke. Although the jury is still out on e-cigarettes, there are health and safety concerns that Dan should be aware of.

Health Canada re-cently advised Cana-dians not to purchase electronic cigarettes because they have not been fully evaluated for safety. (http://www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2009/13373a-eng.php).

There are concerns that electronic ciga-rettes may make smok-ing socially acceptable again, especially if used in smoke free places. Because e-cigarettes re-lease a vapour and not smoke, there are cur-rently very few rules about where they can and can’t be used.

The result is e-cig-arettes being used in places where smoking has been banned like classrooms, pubs and shopping malls.

E-cigarettes might

encourage young peo-ple to start smoking. In Canada, e-cigarettes cannot contain nicotine

but they can contain kid-friendly flavours ranging from bacon to bubble gum. Flavour-

ing that could encour-age youth to smoke e-cigarettes as well as real tobacco products.

Dan decides e-ciga-rettes are not worth the risk. Instead, he plans to talk with his health

care professional and visit quitnow.ca for tips, tools and support.

By Lesley Coates,

MA, promotion and prevention communica-tions officer for Interior Health.

E-cigarettes breathe life into a dying industry
