DESCRIPTION
January 10, 2013 edition of the Williams Lake TribuneTRANSCRIPT
A well known restaurant has burned down in the small com-munity of Anahim Lake.
On Jan. 7 at approximately 3:10 pm, Anahim RCMP responded to a report of a structure fire at the Dutchman Restaurant.
RCMP attended the location and confirmed the building was closed and no one was inside.
As Anahim Lake does not have a fire department, police request-ed the assistance of the Ulkatcho Indian Band who own a pumper truck in the community.
The pumper truck attended within minutes of the initial call and both driver and police sprayed water on the blaze.
The fire was contained in the initial stages, and while the struc-ture was still sound, local resi-dents banded together along with police assistance and were able to save some of the owners’ more valuable property including some
sentimental items.Unfortunately the fire later
spread into the roof and ceiling of the structure and could not be stopped.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. the structure became completely engulfed in flames and it quickly burned to the ground.
Police cordoned off the area
and remained on scene for the safety of the public.
“Fortunately no one was in-jured as a result of the fire” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, North District Media Relations Officer “The in-vestigation is still on going at this time but police do not believe the fire was suspicious and therefore arson is not a factor.”
The Dutchman was built by Hans and Sandra Lutters in the late 1980s then purchased by Bernie and Vicci Wiersbitzky in March 1995. In February 2006, Bernie sold the restaurant to Dawn Benton, but financed the mortgage, so he is still involved.
Author Sage Birchwater of Williams Lake knows them both and said Bernie and Dawn are very distraught. They will be dealing with the insurance ad-juster on Jan. 10.
“It’s quite a kick to lose your livelihood so abruptly,” Dawn said. “One minute you’ve got a job, the next minute you don’t.

Taseko releases fourth quarter sale finals 2012
Taseko Mines Ltd. announced Jan. 7 a fourth quarter total sales of 23.4 pound of copper and 215,000 pounds of molybdenum at its 75 per cent owned Gibraltar Mines near Williams Lake.
“Taking into account mill avail-ability, the mill continued to operate close to design capacity in the fourth quarter. We expect mill availabil-ity to steadily increase with GCP3 construction behind us,” Russell Hallbauer, president and CEO of Taseko said. “As we announced in mid-December, GDP3 commission-ing continues to progress as we work towards commercial production by the end of March.”
In 2012, total sales were 88.0 mil-lion pounds of copper and 1.3 mil-lion pounds of molybdenum.

Anahim Nimpo Lake Messenger photoAnahim Lake lost one of its restaurants to fi re on Jan. 7. The nearby Ulkatcho Indian Band responded with its pumper truck because the community of Anahim Lake does not have a fi re department.

Williams Lake should and could be-come the accessibility capital of B.C. That is one of the recommen-dations coming out of the city’s accessibil-ity advisory committee first annual report.
“It’s important to build on an accessibili-ty legacy here through-out the Cariboo Re-gion,” committee chair George Atamanenko told the Tribune. “We want to give city coun-cil that little bit of a shot.”
Former Williams Lake resident Rick Hansen would be proud if that happened, Ata-manenko suggested.
Highlighting some of the aspects of the re-port, Atamanenko said he would be remiss if he didn’t mention that “we live in a bit of a winter wonderland” that continually needs to be monitored and looked after.
“The first step is for the active removal of snow and ice from curbs near the blue handicap parking spac-
es as the first priority. It’s a little way to dem-onstrate that we care and are willing to act on behalf of persons that are handicapped, especially the seniors.”
It’s an ongoing thing, he suggested.
“The priorities are to get into the machine, do the sidewalks, and in the evening get the grader out and try to do the main roads. There is not a priority to get rid of all the crap on the blue stuff,” he added.
Convinced the Wil-liams Lake can be a leader, and continue to remove physical barri-ers and expand on the leisure activities avail-able for all persons with accessibility is-sues.
The committee has recently finalized a co-lourful brochure, titled Accessibility Works.
It’s a follow-up to the city’s official commu-nity plan’s actions and guidance to downtown businesses, construc-tion associations and individual persons for upgrading and building new liveable spaces.
An annual awards program has been es-
tablished to encourage greater awareness and to follow-up on prac-tical accessible new building and upgrades.
“We’ve also sup-ported and pointed out the importance of the audio visual crossing at Seventh Avenue and Oliver Street.”
Atamanenko was to present the annual report to city council Tuesday evening, but a heavy snowfall kept him at home. Instead, Deb Radolla, manager of active living for the city, read his report.
Coun. Laurie Walters thanked the commit-tee for the thorough report and the accom-plishments it has made throughout the year.
“I’m looking for-ward to the committee moving us forward to become a community that is more accessible, given Rick Hansen’s past history with our community,” Walters said.

Another person has thrown his name in the ring to run for the NDP in the riding of Cariboo North.
Quesnel resident and city councillor Sushil Thapar confirmed that he’s been nominated to run. The official nomi-nating convention will take place in Quesnel on Jan. 20 at the Royal Ca-nadian Legion.
Cariboo rancher Dun-can Barnett announced that he was seeking nomination in Decem-ber.
Thapar was a Science teacher in India for over two years before moving to Canada to begin a new life.
He arrived in Quesnel in 1991, and since 1996 has been a member of the United Steelworkers Union, and has been on city council since 2003.
“Over the past decade
I have held a number of portfolios and dealt with a number of issues that included protection services, finances, re-building infrastructure and organizing Quesnel Family Days for the last ten years in a row,” he said. He has also worked in the forest industry for the last 20 years per-forming different roles from unskilled worker to management positions.
“I have always held a keen interest in politics and I understand the is-sues facing workers and tax payers and the elder-ly in our community,” Thapar said, adding he is always willing to lis-ten to people, work with them and do his very best to provide straight forward answers to all questions.
Thapar said he debat-ed whether or not to put his name forward to run for the NDP, and decid-ed to wait until the new year to announce his in-
tentions.“I’ve always worked
for working class fami-lies,” he said. “They have been neglected for too long. If the Liber-als did the right thing I always supported them, but if they are wrong then I’m the first one to get up there and oppose them.”
Over the last 10 years, the Cariboo Region has been left out, he said.
“The benefits to the area have been very small. Through the pine beetle epidemic we heard that we were going to get a billion dollars from the federal govern-ment, “ he said, adding the region is being ig-nored by the provincial government. “They call us the “heartland,” but when you look at it we have lost mills, we have lost lots of production jobs, and when we talk about the wealth that is generated in the Cari-boo, we never see the
money coming back to area, when we are espe-cially in need of it.”
Believing the for-est industry can have a strong viable future, Thapar suggested the re-gion also has to look at diversifying the econo-my, by looking at mining and other options.
“I have been here for over 20 years. I came as an immigrant with $6 in my pocket and worked my way up. When I came as a 21 year old I had the opportunity to make my life and build my future,” he recalled, adding it’s not the same for the younger genera-tion today in the Cari-boo.
“We are losing kids left and right, who are going to Alberta to work. We can do a lot better. It’s a hidden treasure here. When you look at security, safety, and natural resources, we’re lucky to have what we have,” Thapar said.

Quesnel’s Thapar seeks NDP nomination
Submitted photoQuesnel resident and city councillor Sushil Thapar has announced he is seeking the nomination to the run for NDP in Cariboo North.
Family Literacy Week goes Jan. 20-26
Ulkatcho sawmill back at operating as of Dec. 18
The West Chilcotin Forest Products mill at Ulkatcho resumed operations on Dec. 18.
“We have 60 em-ployees and one shift
operating,” said act-ing general manager Gary Arnold Tuesday. “We’ve got 90 per cent of all our old em-ployees back and our creditors are being paid.”
The timber supply for the mill has yet to
be worked out with the provincial govern-ment, but in the mean-time the mill has ad-equate timber supply.
“If mills in Wil-liams Lake are able to push their timber licenses out this way then our timber sup-
ply will last less than five years and we will not have a reliable timber supply for a 20-year plan,” Arnold said.
Presently the mill is manufacturing “Chinese-sized” two-by-fours, although
Arnold said because of the lumber market in the U.S. going up, the mill is considering making stud lumber, working with other companies that would kiln the wood.
“We could actually generate employment
for Williams Lake,” Arnold said.
The dry wood com-ing out of the mill is going to Vancouver and the green wood has been offered to mills in the Cariboo, Arnold said.
Several people have
returned home to live in the community to work in the mill.
“Between mining and mill training, we have 30 people in six-week training pro-grams taking a basic level entry course,” he added.
Bruce Mack said he has seen dramatic changes in people’s awareness of literacy over the last decade.
“Over the years as we’ve done our Reach-a-Reader cam-paign, people have
gone from not know-ing what we were raising awareness about, to seeing us from a block away and hailing us down to purchase a newspa-per to help the cause.”
Mack, president for the Cariboo Chilco-tin Partners for Lit-eracy, invited mayor
and council Tuesday evening to help with the campaign, which takes place on Jan. 24.
Highlighting some of the programs CCPL delivered in 2012, he said over 8,400 books were distributed through the Bright Red Book-shelves program, and
high school wood working students build bookshelves to augment the program, he added.
Through the Books for Babies program, fully funded by the Kiwanis Club, every new baby receives a bag with four books.
“The financial lit-
eracy program we ran for two years was a huge success. The funding for it has run out, but we devel-oped the program and are going to continue with it,” Mack said, adding the need for it was tremendous.
The Assisted Lit-eracy program pres-
ently has 48 tutors working with 130 individuals provid-ing one-on-one help, and more recently, computer literacy has been implemented as well.
On behalf of coun-cil Mayor Kerry Cook thanked Mack and the group for their
efforts, and after his presentation, council proclaimed Family Literacy Week Jan. 20 - 26 in the city of Wil-liams Lake.
Mack presented council a copy of the literacy plan CCPL has developed in part-nership with School District #27.

Real Estate report for 2012
In 2012 Williams Lake saw what real es-tate agent Willy Berger described as a positive year in real estate over-all if you look at the rest of the world.
“The statistics are positive,” he said. “We’ve had ten more units in the residential end selling, and the av-erage price seemed to have gone up, but we have sold more higher end homes, so prices are more stable, than going up.”
The latest BC North-ern Real Estate Board report showed that for Williams Lake there were 315 sales worth $68 million reported through MLS®. The number is down from 324 sales in 2011, but those sales garnered $65.5 million. Berger is a director on the board and said Williams Lake did sell a lot of houses.
“There were lots of owners willing to sell, even if they had to ad-just to reality and ad-just prices. That really curbs the market when there are sellers will-ing to sell. Then there are some people that bought high and they cannot afford to sell low: they can’t.”
Half of the 126 single family homes sold in 2012 sold for less than $235,000.
The sales also includ-ed 20 parcels of vacant land, 80 homes on acre-age, 14 town homes, 27
manufactured homes in parks and 32 manufac-tured homes on land. At the end of December there were 352 proper-ties of all types avail-able through MLS® in the Williams Lake area, up from 342 properties at the same time last year.
What doesn’t show in the stats are new homes being built, but Berger said there has been a few more in the rural areas than there were in 2011.
In the 100 Mile House area, 291 proper-ties worth $58.5 million sold in 2012, compared with 291 properties worth $55 million in 2011. The 91 single family homes that sold in 2012 had a median value (half sold for less) of $218,000.
In addition, 72 par-cels of vacant land, 65 homes on acreage, 24 manufactured homes on land, 9 manufactured homes in a park, and 21 recreational prop-erties changed hands in 2012. At the end of December there were 525 properties of all types available for sale through MLS® in the 100 Mile House area, down slightly from 541 properties at the end of 2011.
Quesnel saw 295 properties changed hands, up from 248 that were sold in 2011. The value of these proper-ties was $51.9 million ($42 million in 2011). The median value of
the 124 single family homes sold in 2012 was $199,000. In addition, 43 parcels of vacant land, 58 homes on acre-age, 23 manufactured homes in parks and a further 30 on land were reported sold in 2012.
At year end there were 233 properties of all types available for purchase through MLS® in the Ques-nel area, up from 215 properties at the end of 2011.
Compared to 2011, Berger said there are more homes available for purchases wanting to get into the housing market.
“I would say our en-try level houses have come back. We’ve seen more townhouses, con-dos and smaller homes
than the years before. At the moment the in-terest rates are still low, although that could be scary.”
Gazing into his crys-tal ball, Berger said the overall predictions are for a stable market in 2013 with a slight de-cline on prices — two, three to five per cent.
“It’s not too much to worry about because it may happen in a certain bracket of market. The affordability market will be fairly stable and strong.”
Winter’s a tough time because it takes longer to sell a house, but defi-nitely on Jan. 2, people started to inquire and offers have already been made on homes.
“So that’s good,” he added.

One is not old until re-gret replaces dreams — I have no idea where that quote originates but I re-ceived it, via a beef indus-try newsletter this week. It rings true and happily, confirms that I am not old which seems like a good place to begin the new year from.
In other beginnings; there is happy days ahead for hockey-lovers with the NHL season finally kicking into gear; thereby alleviating some winter-doldrums for some folks (avid Canuck fans like my mother, Mary and my aunt, Joan) as they re-sume watching games, in the comfort of their easy-chairs.
For the cattle business, the beginning of each new year heralds hope and optimism and cattle-men making plans in their minds as they trudge through the snow each day on their way to start the feed truck or tractor or to harness up the team to distribute feed to their livestock.
A bit more snow than usual appears to be the norm in most parts of the Cariboo and the con-sistent temperatures are good for the rancher and the livestock. When the thermometer swings er-ratically, from one ex-treme to the next in short
spans, it wreaks havoc with the daily feed-plan whereas steady tempera-tures makes it far less of a challenge to keep sailing along with a nice even keel. With recent temper-atures hovering steadily between -10 C to -15 C, most producers would have few complaints.
Industry marketplaces are in a lull, but will be-gin to pick up after the groundhog checks in. Canfax (market-advisory
bulletin) analysts tout 2013 as a year of stron-ger prices, but caution that any of the following factors (or others) could muddy the market-wa-ters. Any major blips in the European, U.S. or major Asian economies would rock the boat badly and the continuation of the U.S. drought (many producers in dire need of rain/grain) aggravating further-forced market-ings.

Pilot suffers minor injuries in plane crash
Interior Health could face $40-million shortfall
Interior Health, already bleeding
red ink in the administration and sup-
port area of its budget, could be facing
a substantial additional fiscal shortfall
in its clinical services budget.
As IH struggles with ways to find
$28 million to balance its administra-
tion and support budget, based on cur-
rent trends, it could also be facing a
further $12 million shortfall when it
comes to surgeries.
And that money may be have to be
found by cutting or postponing elec-
tive surgeries, CT scans, MRIs and
other diagnostic procedures, say IHA
officials.“The economic situation is tight but
in healthcare, our customer base con-
tinues to grow,” Ramsden told Black
Press Friday through an IHA spokes-
woman.Ramsden said while the $12 million
is a prediction based on current trends,
he cautioned it is a “fluid” number at
this point.The health authority, like its coun-
terparts in the Lower Mainland, Fraser
Valley, Vancouver Island and northern
B.C., is grappling with additional de-
mands for service that far outstrip any
extra money from the province.
With 75 per cent of its expenditures
going to wages, some measures have
already been taken that have resulted
in 100 IHA positions not being main-
tained and an estimated 50 people los-
ing their jobs.
The cuts to elective surgeries, which
get bumped by emergency surgery re-
quirements, will likely affect the health
authority’s two largest hospitals, Kel-
owna General and Royal Inland Hos-
pital in Kamloops, the hardest.
While Ramsden has told the chief
operating officers of the IHA’s in-
dividual regions that they must find
ways of living within the current bud-
get, information to date has shown a
substantial budget shortfall is looming
for the health authority.
The shortfall has already grown
from the initial estimate of $20 mil-
lion to $24 million and then $28 mil-
lion. Now the additional $12 million in
the clinical and surgery area could
push it to $40 million if the health au-
thority cannot gets its spending reined
in. See SHORTFALL, page A2
A 71-year-old Quesnel
man is missing after he
went canoeing on Gavin
Lake near Likely Friday
evening.At about 5:11 p.m.,
the Williams Lake
RCMP received the
missing person report.
The man had been ca-
noeing on the lake when
a storm came in.
He was last seen in
his canoe at about 1:30
p.m. on Gavin Lake.
His canoe was later
found partly submerged
near the shoreline, and
a life jacket was located
further along the shore-
line.The RCMP Police
Dog Services and the
Central Cariboo Search
and Rescue searched
the area. An RCMP Air Ser-
vices helicopter was
brought in to assist with
an aerial search.
The man wasn’t lo-
cated, and a search of
the area is continuing.

The community will
have an opportunity to
voice its opinion on secu-
rity cameras being placed
throughout downtown
Williams Lake to prevent
crime.Before the cameras can
be set up, the community
will need to provide input
to ensure the public wants
them.A community meeting
on the topic will be held
Sept 10 from 7-9 p.m. in
City Hall’s council cham-
bers.“No one is going to see
anything unless there is a
crime,” says Judy O’Neill,
manager of the Williams
Lake Central Business Im-
provement Area, address-
ing any privacy infringe-
ment concerns.
O’Neill says footage
would only be released if
the RCMP, for example,
requests to see the tape
if a crime is believed to
have occurred. The RCMP
would also only be able to
see the footage between the
requested time frame. If a
specific incident is shown
on the tape, the RCMP
could then request a copy
of it.Bobby Sunner, president
of the WLCBIA, says get-
ting the cameras has been
an ongoing effort of the
WLCBIA for years.
“Just recently we’ve
managed to forge a bet-
ter partnership, more solid
foundation with the City,
and the City has forged
very solid partnerships
with the provincial govern-
ment.”The WLCBIA is also
speaking with the RCMP
to ensure the cameras meet
their requirements as well.
“We are going to respect
the privacy of the citizens
of Williams Lake, accord-
ing to the legislation and
just make sure the cameras
are doing their job, which
is to reduce the level of
crime that occurs in Wil-
liams Lake, and simulta-
neously ensuring that the
public’s privacy is guaran-
teed,” Sunner says.
He says the project was
originally proposed under
the Freedom of Informa-
tion and Protection of Pri-
vacy Act (FOIP), but it’s
now being proposed under
the Personal Information
Protection Act (PIPA),
which has also allowed the
project to move further for-
ward.FOIP deals with public
organizations, such as gov-
ernment, whereas PIPA is
designed for non-public
entities, so the WLCBIA
is under privacy guidelines
for private corporations.
“This will allow us to
move forward more ex-
peditiously than the other
legislation will,” he says.
“Everyone benefits be-
cause it’s a less onerous,
but just as thorough piece
of legislation.”
Brian Carruthers, gen-
eral manager of commu-
nity services for the City
of Williams Lake, says
the WLCBIA previously
received $4,200 in a grant-
in-aid from the Cariboo
Regional District and the
City to go toward the proj-
ect. The Ministry of Solici-
tor General also gave the
WLCBIA $50,000 for the
project.The $50,000 is being
held by the City, due to
criteria from the ministry,
which includes address-
ing privacy issues to make
sure the public’s privacy
is adequately protected
and for the ministry to feel
comfortable with the tech-
nology that will be used.
Carruthers says the City
received the funds from the
provincial government on
behalf of the WLCBIA to
put the project in place, so
the City is at arm’s length
from the project that will
be run by the WLCBIA.
Carruthers adds that
council’s support of the
cameras was shown by is-
suing the grant-in-aid and
by lobbying the Solicitor
General for the $50,000 in
funding,He says the WLCBIA is
developing a policy for the
camera system that deals
with all aspects of acquir-
ing the footage, storing it,
who gets to look at, who
gets to release it, and how
the footage is stored.
“The public will be fully
protected from a privacy
point of view,” he says.
Carruthers says every
government agency falls
under FOIP, which carries
strict requirements about
retaining information.
Under PIPA, which per-
tains to private enterprises
or non-profits, the require-
ments are less stringent.
He notes, however, that
there are still important re-
quirements to protect peo-
ple’s privacy and stresses
that an agency would have
to apply to review and see
the tapes for a specific rea-
son, such as a crime occur-
ring.If a traffic accident oc-
curred downtown, the tape
showing the accident could
also be used in court if re-
quested by ICBC, for ex-
ample.“You couldn’t just go in
and say I want to see what
happened on Friday night
on Oliver Street,” he says.
“They have to have a rea-
son.”He says motion-detect-
ing cameras the City has
put in place already in
problem areas have served
their purpose as a deterrent,
he notes. Those program,
he says, won’t be part of
the program but will still
continue to be used.
Once the WLCBIA sub-
mits its report to the City
following the studies and
public consultation, the
City will submit the report
to the Solicitor General for
approval.Once that is completed,
the WLCBIA will be able
to plan and purchase the
equipment. The cameras
could be installed as early
as November he says, but
notes it’s too early too tell.
O’Neill says if the cam-
eras are approved, between
six and eight of them will
be installed to start.
She says Creston, Kim-
berly, Trail, Kitimat, and
Kelowna have already
adopted a camera pro-
gram, although Williams
Lake will be unique since
the program will be under
PIPA.She says the cameras
are of high quality, and the
footage would contain a
watermark so the footage
could be used in court, if
necessary.Dave Dickson, safer
communities co-ordinator
for the Williams Lake de-
tachment, says the cameras
are expected to help re-
duce crime, as “everything
helps.”“If they’re effectively
and strategically placed
around the community, it
will help,” he says
The RCMP will then
make recommendations
as to where the cameras
should be placed.
The camera system, he
notes, will also be depen-
dent on community feed-
back.“I’m certainly in favour
of it,” he says, adding that
if individuals want to com-
mit a crime in the city, a
camera may deter them.

Re-appoint auditor general: NDP
The B.C. NDP and three Independents are asking the Liberal gov-ernment to re-appoint Auditor General John Doyle to another six-year term.
On Jan. 5 it was dis-covered that the govern-ment was advertising the auditor general position.
The NDP reacted by saying they believe Doyle has been an effec-tive and impartial critic of the government and he deserves to be reap-pointed.
“In addition to his record, reappointing Doyle would save time and money, and serve the public interest,” NDP caucus chair Shane Simpson said.
“Doyle has issued a number of scathing re-ports during his term, and is currently in the process of investigating why the Liberal govern-ment decided to pay $6 million in legal fees for convicted Liberal insid-ers in the BC Rail scan-dal in October 2010.
Doyle has been fight-ing the government in court for access to the documents he needs to complete his investiga-tion,” an NDP press re-lease stated.
Cariboo North In-dependent MLA Bob Simpson echoed Simp-son, stating that Doyle has been highly effec-tive.
“If you look at the government’s response to his reports, you can tell he’s asking the right
questions and making the right recommendations.”
Simpson, along with Independents Delta South MLA Vicki Hun-tington and Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen also issued a press release and sug-gested the decision to not reappoint Doyle may have been politically mo-tivated.
“The government hasn’t been happy with the auditor general’s cri-tique from the beginning, but it’s his job to ask the tough questions,” Simp-son said. “Whether the government likes it or not, we need him there to cut through the noise and point to problems with government policy and accounting.
Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said
Tuesday the decision about the auditor general position was given to a special committee to deal with.
“I have no idea why the committee has made the decision. In essence that is their job,” Barnett said.
“I have no opinion on how and why they made the decision, the only thing I can say is basical-ly I have done a little bit of background research and learned that very sel-dom is an auditor general there for more than six years at a time.”
Barnett said Doyle can reapply if he wants to stay on as auditor gen-eral.
“I don’t think he did a bad job,” she added.
Doyle’s term will be finished in May.

This week British Columbi-ans found out that our Au-ditor General, John Doyle,
will not be reappointed. The problem is that only five MLAs, members of the Special Committee to Appoint an Auditor General, know why Doyle wasn’t re-appointed to a second term.
From the start of his first six-year term, Doyle has done an outstand-ing job. His very first report, which reviewed the release of private lands from Tree Farm Licenses, proved he was not going to mince his words. So
much so, in fact, that then-F o r e s t s Minister Pat Bell said the
Government was “offended” by the report.
Doyle was correct in his assess-ment of the government’s actions, and his scathing reviews of BC Hydro, oil and gas activity in the Peace, the sorry state of our forest inventory, and the under-reporting of B.C.’s deficit and debt were also on point.
If protecting the public inter-est were the only criteria for re-ap-pointment, then it should have been a slam-dunk, but re-appointment requires unanimous agreement be-tween the Liberal and NDP MLAs on the Committee. The problem with all of this is that whoever decided against re-appointment isn’t publicly accountable for their actions: their vote isn’t recorded publicly, and they don’t have to give any public expla-nation for their decision.
At the very least, the vote to not re-appoint an Auditor General must be made public so we know how MLAs on the Committee voted. An even better solution would be to require the Committee to publicize the ratio-nale for its re-appointment decisions. Leaving it open to speculation is pa-tently unfair to Mr. Doyle, who has been an outstanding public servant and protector of the public interest.
In the coming weeks, a series of reports will be released from the Au-ditor General’s office on such things as the Pacific Carbon Trust, the jus-tice system, and the government’s decision to cover the legal costs of Basi and Virk’s defense during the BC Rail trial. Now that the Liberals have shot the messenger, watch for them to dismiss what will likely be more damning reports as sour grapes from someone they decided not to re-appoint.
Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Williams Lake on the map
Shooting the messenger
I hope everyone had a wonder-ful holiday season. I know I did, spending time with fam-
ily and friends. I am so thankful to have them in
my life.There were four generations of
my family in my house over the holidays, and I saw firsthand the importance of coming together as young people, seniors, and those in between, to share what we have to-gether.
That’s why I’m very proud that Williams Lake is on the m a p with its intergen-erational
project between local students and the seniors at Retirement Concepts.
Seniors are the backbone of our community, and they play a vital role in our lives.
On Wednesday I was so apprecia-tive to receive $20,000 in grant mon-ey from Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan to help the Senior’s Activity Centre upgrade its kitchen, and to provide Foodsafe and cook-ing classes for Williams Lake se-niors. It’s great to see seniors’ efforts and contributions acknowledged and rewarded.
The grant application was written by City staff members Deb Radolla and Denise Skarra, and the minister told us it was one of the top appli-cations among 65 submitted. Many thanks, Deb and Denise!
The grant was a direct result of a last-minute meeting with the minis-ter at the Union of B.C. Municipali-ties convention in September, and it comes on the heels of Williams Lake receiving $100,000 each year for three years for the Better at Home program to help seniors remain at home in their later years.
Thanks to our MLA Donna Bar-nett for arranging the meeting and for advocating for Williams Lake se-niors, and to the provincial govern-ment for recognizing the importance of caring for them.
It’s a new year, and a time for new beginnings. As always, we have choices in how we set our goals and how we set our attitudes. The future is what we make it, and I am very optimistic about 2013!
Kerry Cook is the mayor of Wil-liams Lake.
Governments reach deeperAll levels of government have their hands in your
pockets a little more deeply than in 2012.The Canadian Taxpayers Federation sent out a press
release last week outlining just how much additional pocket-picking is coming our way in 2013.
The most substantial, and perhaps the most unfair, is the boost in Medical Services Plan premiums. These premiums will go up by $60 per family this year, and have now risen 24 per cent ($300 per family) in three years – far more than the rate of inflation.
This boost in MSP fees was first brought in by the provincial government to help deal with its deficit, and it has since discovered that it’s a tax boost that causes minimal political trouble.
The federal government doesn’t get off scot-free. As of Jan. 1, premiums for Employment Insurance are rising, and so are contributions to the Canada Pension
Plan. While contributors will get their CPP contribu-tions back eventually if they retire and collect CPP, the same cannot be said for EI. A small portion of the popu-lation actually collects it, but all working people and employers pay dearly.
The local municipal government will boost property taxes by two per cent this year.
The province is facing a massive deficit and claims it will bring in a balanced budget, so that means all kinds of potential tax increases. And in the meantime, BC Hydro, controlled by the province, is raising rates by almost four per cent on April 1.
One thing is certain – governments have an insatia-ble appetite for our money. While much of the money they take goes to useful services, there is plenty of room for better management and for minimal tax increases.

Question of the weekSnow removal a disgraceEditor:
The condition of the roads in our city is disgusting. The snow has been falling since early De-cember and there are streets and lanes in the downtown area that have yet to be cleared.
We have sporadic clearing of the sidewalks, but all that does is push the snow over the curb onto the street. There it sits with no attempt at removal. The eight to 10 feet adjacent to the curbs has been covered with almost a foot of rutted slushy snow throughout the holiday season. It is impos-sible to get out of a parked car without stepping into this mess and I defy anyone to be a pedes-
trian on Mackenzie Avenue.In 2011 the city collected
$11,472,290 from property tax-es. They spent 76 per cent or $8,653,397 on wages and ben-efits. During the same year, the CRD collected a General Purpose Levy of $22,871,875.
They spent 65 per cent or $15,043,099 on labour costs that included contracted services. These amounts spent on labour costs represent 69 per cent of ev-ery dollar collected for property taxes.
You would think that some of those dollars could have been spent on keeping our city streets clear of snow.
Another beneficiary of our
property tax dollars is the School District. They are considering closing three elementary schools rather than address the wage and benefit costs which are the single largest expense item in their bud-get.
Is it time that we demand the amalgamation of these arms of government to achieve some economies of scale? An amalga-mation would enable the reduc-tion of elected officials, adminis-trative, maintenance and support positions that would go a long way to helping local government meet their budgets.

Poor snow clearing hurting downtown businesses
Editor:
Maybe the city should auction off their snow removal equipment as they seem to use it very little.
Snow remains for a long time near the boulevards, even down-town.
I work casually. Lately I have been driving to
L & D’s for coffee before work and get stuck in the massive snow piles.
Today we had to park on the opposite side of the street because
the snow hadn’t been cleared.Maybe a person should bring a
shovel and do some snow remov-al and get the press to see what needs to be done.
Why aren’t the merchants in the downtown core not screaming blue murder at the less than ad-equate snow removal?
When we see how much snow is on the boulevards we avoid shopping so you, the businesses, miss out.
We already had to buy a new bumper well liner due to parking
in the huge piles of snow; not the least being getting snow in your boots.
To top all this city council tried to get themselves a raise. They gave big business a decrease in taxes, raised ours and didn’t fix any of the streets — they are worse than some third-world countries we’ve visited — but that’s another story to be contin-ued.

Legislation being prepared to appoint senior’s advocate
Legislation is being prepared for what he expects will be intro-
duced into the house in the spring to appoint a seniors advocate in B.C., said Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan.
“As a minister I cannot
command that to happen, so a whole host of con-siderations by the house leader will determine the timing of the introduc-tion of that legislation,
but I’m very confident that it will be introduced and it will be passed with a minimum of debate and controversy,” Sultan told the Tribune.
“It’s the result of an awful lot of consultation by a lot of people. It’s a very popular topic and there’s a remarkable de-gree of interest. In fact,
to demonstrate the point one of the member firms of an association of care homes pressed me, ‘get on with it Ralph, get the job done’, which coming
from that source really struck me.”
Once it’s passed, someone can be ap-pointed in the spring, he added.
Fifty-three of the best female hockey players north of 100 Mile House stormed the Cariboo Me-morial Complex on the weekend for BC Hockey’s U16 High Per-formance Camp.
The camp, emulated to follow Hockey Canada’s high perfor-mance program, saw participants spend two days giving it their all in hopes of advancing as one of 20 players to the next stage of the program.
Williams Lake hockey coach and BC Hockey district director Troy Wiel said it was a gruelling two days of on- and off-ice ac-tivities.
Wiel said they were original-ly expecting just 30 players to register, but added they had to scramble for more ice time when the 53 players arrived to register Saturday morning.
“We were expecting about 30 girls and when we saw how many players there were we had to ask some local coaches for some ice and we had to ask the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association for some ice, and they were nice enough to help us out,” Wiel said.
“If we had to run 53 girls on
the original ice time we had booked it wouldn’t have been a fair evaluation process.”
After registering Saturday players were split into two groups for a 1.5-hour on-ice practice, followed by off-ice physical testing. After that players were placed onto three teams to play a round robin tournament Saturday night, and Sunday morning.
“This is probably the biggest deal these girls have all done,” Wiel said.
From the camp 20 players — two goalies, six defenceman and 12 forwards — advanced to the next round — a province-wide tournament pitting each of the zone teams against one another April 4 in Duncan.
Of those, six players from Wil-liams Lake made the team. Victo-ria Byer, Stefanie Martin, Sarah Hermsen, Laine Grace, Caily Mellott and Ruthie Jackson ad-vanced.
“The local players did out-standing,” Wiel said. “And the girls who didn’t make it from Williams Lake, they were awe-some, too. We showed very, very well.”
He said 15 volunteers helped make the camp a success and added it was an outstanding ex-
perience for the players. Williams Lake hockey players who’ve gone through the program includ-ing Tessa Hare, Chantelle Rolph and Cassidy Mellott were also on hand as mentors to the players.
“The way we run the high per-formance camps is basically the same as Hockey Canada’s camp,”
he said. “It’s a learning experience for
them. “Physically, they’re asked to
do a lot in one weekend and they were extremely tired. We push them pretty hard and they do re-spond and we expect at this level to be the cream of the crop.”

Biathletes provincials-boundLocal army and sea
cadets are gearing up for the provincial biathlon championships.
The cadets, on Jan. 5, took part in the zone bi-athlon competition at the Otway Nordic Centre in Prince George.
“Biathlon is a high en-durance sport that com-bines the two sports of cross-country skiing and precision shooting,” said team coach and Capt.
Irene Burns.Cadets skied either
a six- or 7.9-kilometre race depending on their age category; shooting a .22 anshutz rifle three times in between loops.
For every shot missed 40 seconds is added onto ski times for a final re-sults.
The top youth male went to Matthew Nen-dick, while second place went to Joshua Tucker.
The top junior male went to Olund Mork, while Dean Montgom-ery finished fourth and Skyler Bragg took fifth.
In the juinor female category Kaitlin Lebrun finished third, followed by Abby-Lyn James in fourth.
Cadets Nendick, Tucker, Mork, Lebrun and James will attend the provincial biathlon competition at Mount
Washington on Van-couver Island Feb. 2 to compete against army, set and air cadets from across B.C.
Burns said she and the cadets would like to thank the Army Cadet League, the Williams Lake Sportsman’s Asso-ciation, Guenter Werkele from West Fraser, Bull Mountain Cross Country Ski Club and parents for their support in training.
The first ever Cari-boo Canucks Hockey Club All-Native Hock-ey Tournament just wrapped up, but orga-nizer Cecil Grinder said things went so well he’s already looking forward to hosting it again next year.
The tournament, fea-turing 20 teams spread amongst four division, was held in Williams Lake Dec. 28-30 at the Cariboo Memorial Rec-reation Complex.
“It went really well,” Grinder said. “I’m al-ready looking forward to doing it again. We’ve seen what we did well and we’ve seen what we can improve on for next time.”
Divisions included recreational, masters, women’s, and competi-tive.
In the recreational division it was the host team, the Williams Lake Cyroties, beating Three Nations to take the top spot. Other teams in the division were Gex Nat’i and the Xeni Trail Blaz-ers.
In masters, the Wil-liams Lake Longhorns downed the Southern Selects in the final to
take the championship. Butch’s Bandits round-ed out the division in third.
For the five-team women’s division, Ka-mloops took the title beating the Cariboo Stars in the process.
In competitive, it was the host team, the Cari-boo Canucks, downing the Alkali Braves, 5-2, to win $2,500 in prize money. The Braves, for their part, still took home $2,000 for their efforts. In third were the Vernon T-birds.
“It was a good game [the final],” Grinder said. “It just kind of went our way this time. They’d beaten us by two goals earlier in the tournament and that time things went their way.”
Other teams in the competitive division included the Stone T-birds, Young Nation, Hun City, Canim Lake and the Fort St. James Chiefs.
Grinder added he’d like to thank all the volunteers who helped out and the businesses who donated items for prizes.

Children’s Book puts a smile on local literacy
Last year was the year of the book in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast. My unofficial tally of books produced from this region in 2012, comes to a baker’s dozen.
Just squeaking in as the 13th title in late December, was the illustrated children’s book, I Don’t Like My Grumpy Face, by author Victoria Greenley, and illustrator Raylene Hale. Both women work in the Wil-liams Lake school system.
As you might expect, Greenley wrote the story first before linking up with the illustrator. Actually, the story is a long poem, which works well for children learning to read.
Greenley is a speech and language assistant in School District 27, work-ing at Cataline and Kwaleen elemen-tary schools this year. She says the use of rhyming words is very im-portant for children to get a better handle on literacy.
Both women credit Maria Lep-etich who teaches reading recov-ery at 150 Mile House Elementary School, for inspiring them.
“I showed my poem to Maria and she encouraged me to publish it. When I asked her if she knew any artists who could illustrate it, she suggested Raylene.”
Ironically Greenley and Hale both knew each other from church. “But I didn’t know Raylene was an artist,” Greenley says.
Next Lepetich put the two women in touch with children’s author Bo-nita Forsythe of Lac la Hache. “We had coffee with Bonita and she read the draft and looked at Raylene’s sketches and approved,” Greenley says. “She was very generous with her time and knowledge.”
Explaining how the illustrations unfolded, Hale says Greenley gave her the story and they talked about it. “I thought of the image of a lap-top computer and doing real things in a computer-based world,” Hale says of the cover showing Joshua, a “super cool guy”, emerging from the screen wearing a frown.
Hale says she and Greenley really worked well together, creating the concepts of the book as they went along. “We decided how old the character might be and the things he could do.”
Greenley says everything Hale thought of, she loved. “I had the idea vision, and Raylene had the picture vision.”
The theme of the book has a positive message that both children and their parents can grasp, Green-ley says. “Children can adjust their mindsets to be positive. It encourag-es kids to think more on the positive and think for themselves.”
Even when Joshua thought he wanted to smile after getting tired
of his grumpy face which he put on when told to clean up his room, his smiling face wouldn’t stick until he changed his attitude.
“He learned to see that cleaning his room had something in it for him too,” Greenley points out. “His clean room became a proud place to show to all his friends.”
The two women began working on the project last February, and Hale started creating pencil draw-ings for the illustrations. Then on the advice of her son, Troy, she bought a Cintiq graphic artist drawing board to attach to her computer. She took photos of each drawing and upload-ed the pdf files into the computer and so she could colour them.
“It was a new experience for me,” Hale says. “I’d never used a drawing board before. It’s limitless what you can do.”
Greenley says Hale decided to use the primary colours to make the illustrations stand out. “A lot of people have commented how bright it looks. The illustrations jump out at you. I think the primary colours make it come alive.”
This year several of the schools in School District 27 have gotten into a Positive Action Program and the book ties well into that program. Several of the schools are already using the book.
Greenley says she thought of us-ing emoticon from the computer as a theme for the book. “I thought it might reach the kids that way.”
After searching around for a pub-lisher, the two women decided to self-publish through Trafford Pub-lishing, once a Canadian company based in Victoria. Now however
Trafford is based in the United States and that has posed some royalty problems that still need to be worked out. Meanwhile both women are marketing the book themselves by email and on Facebook. Greenley can be reached at [email protected] and Hale at [email protected].
You can find Victoria Greenley on Facebook.
The Williams Lake Library is hosting Greenley and Hale for a spe-cial launch and reading of their book on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 11 a.m. Chil-dren are invited of course, and the book will be available for purchase.
And yes, Greenley and Hale have another book in the works. It’s called
Touched by the Wind with a special focus on children who are hard of hearing or are visually impaired.
“It’s about acceptance,” Greenley says. “The manuscript is already set. It’s also a poem with rhyming words.”
She says Barb Doedel, a teacher with the deaf and hard of hearing, is working with them. “She wants us to meet some of her children.”
Hale, who works as a library aide in three schools, says she and Green-ley are having fun launching into an-other project. “We laugh and enjoy each other’s company. Illustrating children’s books is something I al-ways wanted to do.”
Sage Birchwater photosIllustrator Raylene Hale and author Victoria Greenley will be at the Williams Lake library on January 19 to launch their new book. This is the first book for both women, who work in Williams Lake schools.
Joshua is the main character in the delightful new children’s book by Victoria Greenley and Raylene Hale.

Based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling book Payback: Debt and the Shadow of Wealth, Jennifer Baichwal’s feature documentary Payback offers a fascinating look at debt as a mental construct traces how it influences relationships, societies, governing structures and even the fate of the planet. The film explores the link between debtor and creditor in a variety of contexts and places. The film screening is slated for Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. in the Williams Lake Library program room.
Wednesday, Feb. 20Vanishing Point
A dog team pulls an Inughuit family across the vast sea ice of Greenland. But with the terrain melting beneath them, the dogs break through the surface, plunging into frigid polar waters. Navarana, an elder and one of the passengers on this sled, is coming to terms with the unprecedented changes facing all Arctic peoples. In the 1860s, Navarana’s visionary ancestor — a shaman from Baffin Island named Qitdlarssuaq — embarked on a legendary journey, leading an Inuit migration to Greenland. The film goes at 7 p.m. in the Williams Lake Library.
Emaline Delapaix performed Tuesday afternoon for a lunch crowd at New World Coffee and Tea House in Williams Lake. The Australian singer songwriter is a full-time musician in Ber-lin, performing and recording and also spending time in BC visiting friends and doing shows.
Engaging and per-sonable, with a unique, compelling voice, Ema-line sang and accom-panied herself on both keyboard and acoustic guitar, sharing a range of original tunes from her three CDs, Between Breeding Seasons, Ev-eryday Ordinary and Sketches, with the audi-ence.
“I’m travelling B.C. during the win-ter months—crazy, I know—but having fun visiting friends and doing shows along the way,” Emaline ex-plained.
Her performance at New World on Tues-day included a song about England. “My relationship with Eng-land is a cross between love and annoyance,” she said. She also noted that that she usu-ally plays the tune with jazz/rock musicians in Berlin.
Delapaix said that she learned to play
piano and guitar two-and-a-half years ago. “I moved to rural East Germany and lived in a caravan where I learned to play instru-ments,” she informed her audience.
Another tune she shared was Greetings from a Snow Desert, which she said was “for all the lazy and afraid men out there” and Pomegranate, which she described as “about not being too brave and always do-ing what’s safe.”

Sue Lachance said that they are currently of-fering performance op-portunities for Cariboo musicians. “This is a great ‘coffee house’ venue for musicians to share their talent and let their community know what they’re all about,” she said. “Peo-ple love to come and enjoy good food and beverages and hear great local music.” For more information about booking your group at New World, phone Sue Lachance at 778-412-5282.

Big Creek communityhosts New Year’s bash
The Big Creek Hall was full of ladies when we had our annual La-dies Christmas pot luck lunch and gift exchange on Dec. 12.
Nearly all the ladies from Big Creek were there and guests from Hanceville and Alexis Creek brought the num-ber of ladies to a whop-ping 26.
There was a fantastic array of food to enjoy and a lot of laughter as we exchanged gifts and then proceeded to “steal” from one another with a few of the more
coveted gifts exchang-ing hands more often than the rest. It was a great way to get the Christmas spirit started.
On Dec. 24 there was another happy Christ-mas Eve party at Twi-light Ranch this year when Gord and Diana Puhallo opened their home and hearts with a great spread of good food and hospitality.
A delicious Christmas dinner was served with a huge assortment of deli-cacies including their famous perogies. 2012 marked the 17th year that Gord and Diana have been welcoming members of the commu-
nity into their home for this fabulous Christmas Eve party.
New Year’s Eve saw the community gath-ered at the Big Creek as usual to dance the new year in.
A potluck supper started the evening at 6 p.m. The Skidmarks Band supplied the lively music for dancing. At midnight, Iris passed sandwiches around after a cascade of colourful balloons rained down from the ceiling honour-ing the arrival of 2013. Coffee was always on.
Happy New Year to all from all of us at Big Creek!

“They call the Cariboo home”John Sykes: the gift of music to a community
Bob Simpson, MLA Cariboo North“Where’s Bob?”

www.bobsimpsonmla.ca
When people see John Sykes, or ‘TubaJohn’ it’s usually in a musical context. He’s playing tuba in a school band with a bunch of kids, performing with Cariboo Gold Dance Band or other ensembles at community events, or providing a Christ-mas soundtrack for Salvation Army kettle volunteers around Williams Lake.
His most recent public per-formance was a ‘TubaJohn Christmas with Friends’ con-cert that included Cariboo Brass, Quintet Plus and the Cariboo Men’s Choir.
John started playing trumpet when he was eight years old and took up the tuba at age 10, playing until he was 17 years old.
He moved to Williams Lake in 1974 and started playing music in 1982. Busy with kids and coaching and soccer, he said that in those early days he didn’t even own a tuba and that he wasn’t sure what kind of music there was in Williams Lake.
After not having played music for 19 years, Sykes ap-proached the new community band, organized and directed by Bill Wood and Rocco Cata-lano. He said that he walked in without a tuba. “I asked my mom to look around Vancouver for an E-flat tuba and I bought one for about $700 and started playing in the band,” he said.
He is also a founding mem-ber of Cariboo Gold, joining the group in 1983. “I love Cari-boo Gold: the music and the people,” he explained. “We’re like family.”
After playing with the com-munity band for about a month, he said that Bill Wood handed him the music to Pirates of Penzance and told him he was playing in the ‘pit band’ for an upcoming musical.
“I’d never done a musical be-fore and was just getting back into playing again. The perfor-mance was scheduled for Feb-ruary, and by the time Christ-mas time was over and we got together in January to start re-hearsals, I had my part nailed,” he continued. “I loved it. I’ve done about 10 of them over the years.”
After a disability prohibited him from working, he gradu-ally started playing music with kids in school bands, offering support and encouragement and mentorship.
“Playing with kids came about in the beginning be-cause someone I knew invited me. I just went in and played,” he said. “It just helps the kids along. Having an adult in there made the kids more focused.”
Sykes played with high school and elementary school
bands--jazz bands, stage bands, concerts bands, even doing road trips with the kids.
“He wasn’t going to sit around, even though he was on a disability. He started coming to 150 Mile House with me and Ross McCoubrey and he’d play with the kids—it was a great experience,” said Cariboo Gold Director and School District #27 band teacher Rocco Cata-lano.
“He had a special way with kids. He walks into a band room now and they all know him—he’s ‘TubaJohn.’ He had a big heart with those kids.”
Sykes said that a highlight for him was being there with the kids and helping them along.
“It was so great to be able to pass along some of the knowl-edge that I have to a kid, and seeing the smile on their face when they realize they can do
something they never thought they could,” he explained.
“It’s so rewarding to sit in a concert with a kid and see them move ahead and be so happy with what they’ve accom-plished. I saw great improve-ments in kids—that makes you feel great. Kids are wonderful. With elementary kids, they’re just starting off. You get a chance to help mold them,” he stated. “Music is built into ev-erybody—it’s just whether you can bring it out and what you can do with it.
“Sure, when they start out they’re playing a lot of sounds that don’t sound a lot like mu-sic, but there isn’t a person alive who hasn’t started out just like that.”
He travelled with school bands all over BC, to Alberta, Nova Scotia and Cuba. “I start-ed teaching kids to play crib
on those road trips, and figure there are a lot of kids play-ing crib with their parents and grandparents, who learned it on the bus,” he said.
In 2006 he received a Cer-tificate of Merit from School District #27 for his work with kids over the years. “There are young people in the Cariboo, from preteen to their twenties who will carry that encourage-ment and those experiences with them the rest of their lives,” Catalano explained.
One example of Sykes’ ver-satility is the season he spent playing with Borderline--25 kids singing with a country rock band. He played a duet with a bagpiper on a Blue Ro-deo tune, and providing a roll-ing bass line to Canada’s Real-ly Big by the Arrogant Worms.
John Sykes also played tuba on Cariboo Pant Leg Polka for Perfect Match’s debut CD last fall, and joined the group on stage at their CD release party/fundraiser for DESEA Peru.
“It was the first recording I’d ever done like that and I was surprised to go in and out of the studio in such a short period of time,” he said. “It was a blast.”
Community is everything to John Sykes, and he has played in a vast range of venues over the years. “We play music and it doesn’t matter where we play. It’s wonderful to make other people happy.
“It’s to bring joy to people. In some small way to have an impact on a kid’s life—there’s nothing like that. I have huge respect for all the band kids I got to play with over the years. Some of the kids I met in Grade 6, and I played at their gradu-ation from Grade 12,” he con-tinued.
“If I had the chance I would tell people that if they get the opportunity to volunteer with kids, they should do it. When it’s all from your heart it’s a wonderful thing to pass it on.”
LeRae Haynes photoTubaJohn brings talent and passion to every musical performance, with his engaging and irrepressable stage presence and his dedication to his fellow musicians and his community.
