HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON STARTS WITH LOTS OF SNOW

The Williams Lake RCMP is seeking the assistance of the public in locating Craig Journee Charleyboy, 14, who has been missing from his home in Williams Lake since Nov. 23, 2012.

The RCMP believe at this time that the youth is intentionally not wanting to be located, however, due to his age, the duration of his absence from his home, and his unknown whereabouts, the RCMP is concerned for his safety and well being.

Charleyboy is described as First Nations, 5’6” tall, 145 lbs.

If anyone is aware of his location or even to provide an update if he is safe, to please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392-6211.

Three-and-a-half year old twins Carmen and Simone Herman in their front yard on Pigeon Avenue are among those welcoming the arrival of winter in Williams Lake.

Early Christmas present for car theft victims Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer An elderly couple in Williams Lake received an unexpected early Christmas gift Thursday.

When Bernice and Harris Wilkinson woke up on Dec. 8, they discovered their 1990 Dodge Dynasty was stolen from their driveway on Pigeon Avenue.

Less than two weeks later, Cariboo GM presented them with a 2004 used car, equipped with good winter tires, a Christmas CD in the player, and the promise that new veteran license plates are on order.

As the Wilkinsons arrived to receive the gift, staff at Cariboo GM handed Bernice a dozen roses and Harris the keys.

“It’s a perfect Christmas present,” Harris said smiling. “I had a New Yorker once for about five years, but it was slippery on the road one time and I banged it up so they paid me out.”

It was an article in the Dec. 13 Tribune sharing the story of the

theft that inspired GM’s sales and leasing manager Dave Sacchetti to give the Wilkinsons a car.

“It made me incensed when I read the story because they were elderly, he was a veteran, and they couldn’t even get to church,” Sacchetti said, adding it took the staff about 20 minutes to decide it was the right thing to do.

Manager Lorne Doerksen said the car was a trade-in and the previous owner is “ecstatic” to hear the news.

With the car theft, Harris also lost a set of tools he uses for electrical work, but Bernice said that’s been covered too.

A few days after the news broke, a man parked in front of the house and walked up the Wilkinson’s driveway.

“He knocked on the door and when I answered he told me he didn’t need to come in and he gave me a $100 bill and said, Merry Christmas,” she said.

“We could use that for whatever we want we’ll use it for tools,” Ber-

“I’m still trying to find out who he was,” Harris added.

“We can’t beat this Christmas,” the Wilkinson’s daughter Rose said.

Fringe fire service to continue Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Residents in the fringe area of Williams Lake are assured of fire protection now that a B.C. Supreme Court Justice has granted an injunction to the Cariboo Regional District to allow the City of Williams Lake to continue to offer fire protection services to Areas D, E, F of the Cariboo Regional District.

The service will continue from Jan. 1, 2013 for 120 days at the maximum rate of $147/$100,000 of residential assessment.

“We accomplished

what we set out to do, which was to provide continuous fire protection to the Williams Lake fringe fire protection area, so we’re relieved about that,” said CRD Chair Al Richmond.

The results of the CRD’s fringe fire protection referendum on Nov. 24 — 978 in favour and 30 against — was a key point in the injunction’s success, he added.

“We feel the judge upheld the referendum and that we do have an agreement with the City of Williams Lake. We want to move forward with that agreement.”

The next step for the

CRD will be to hold a public meeting on Thursday, Jan. 17 where staff and board members will have more detailed information and options to share with affected residents, and to hear feedback.

For its part, the city said Friday it supported the injunction process to ensure that rural residents would receive fire protection service.

The city had no legal means available to supply fire protection services to rural residents in the absence of an agreed to contract.

“The city will honour all conditions of the in-

junction,” Mayor Kerry Cook said, adding at no time did the city threaten or intend to withdraw rural fire protection services from areas of the CRD, but was focused on the cost of the service, not the provision of the service.

“The city did provide two different offers, and the CRD chose not to accept those,” Cook said.

“This is a disagreement over costs, period. The city has always intended to continue to offer fire protection services to the rural fringe fire protection area, and this injunction enables us to do that.”

Intersection a safety issue, citizen says Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After several near misses and at least six collisions this year alone at the intersection of Cameron Street and Second Avenue in Williams Lake a concerned citizen is appealing that the city make it a four-way stop.

Bill Davidson, with Davidson Financial located near the intersection on Second Avenue, said in the past he and people at other businesses nearby have talked several times about safety concerns.

“I guess we were just waiting for the city to do something,” Davidson told the Tribune.

Earlier this month Davidson put his concerns in writing and sent a letter to mayor and council.

“I know they are aware of the issue,” he said. “I contacted ICBC and spoke with Diana Pozer in Prince George.

She and I went over the

statistics for the past seven or eight years. They don’t include the current year and that is where all the accidents have happened.”

Not sure exactly why a spike in the number of accidents has occurred, Davidson said he wondered if more people are using Second Avenue because Third Avenue has become busier with new construction and businesses opening there.

“I wonder if people are migrating to Second to avoid the construction.

Between the speeding and the near misses and accidents it’s been a hectic year for that corner.”

At the regular meeting Dec. 18, Davidson’s letter was received by council.

“I’ve often felt that area is of great concern for safety and am in agreement that we need a four-way stop there,” Coun. Laurie Walters said. “I’m happy to see this has been brought

forward.”

Coun.

Surinderpal Rathor went further, saying an enforcement approach needs to be taken.

“Not only this one street, but all over the city,” Rathor said. “I understand the RCMP’s position that they are doing the best job they can do with the resources they have.

“Educating our community is equally needed here and in every school

zone.”

Council passed a motion directing staff to prepare a report for council’s consideration.

In his letter Davidson noted making people slow down will have a dual effect.

“It will hopefully reduce the collisions at the intersection, force people to slow down and maybe save a life of a student crossing the intersection.”

Idle no more protest comes to Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer First Nations in and around Williams Lake protested Dec. 21 to show support for Chief Theresa Spence of Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario who is on the 11th day of a hunger strike to protest Bill C-45.

Around 50 First Nations leaders and community members gathered outside city hall ,before making a peaceful procession through the city, to continue what Canoe Creek Chief David Archie said the ancestors started when the first visitors arrived.

“Our ancestors have been dealing with this for a long time and now it’s our turn,” Archie said.

“What we do here is going to set the pace for our kids and the next leaders to come, and I’m glad we have people from both sides of the river working together for a common good.”

Williams Lake Indian Band Chief said Bill C-45 marks the

first time in Canadian history that so many bills regarding First Nations are being pushed through the House of Commons at one time.

“Bill C-35 is a bill that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has passed without any consultation with First Nations,” Louie said. “The bill is changing our aboriginal rights which are protected under the constitution section 35.”

“Spence is chief of a community that has people living in deplorable conditions, including living in shacks and tents. I have been following this protest on the news,” Louie said, adding there is a huge movement occurring that involves First Nations people bringing these issues to the forefront of the Canadian public.

“Her community is not the only community that has suffered under these conditions, it is all First Nations in Canada who are underfunded and have their rights cut while the federal government benefits from

the resource extraction from our traditional territories,” Louie said.

“Many of our leaders say we are beggars in our own lands.”

Soda Creek Chief Bev Sellers asserted Spence’s protest is only one action been taken against Bill C-35.

“A grass roots movement called Idle No More is sweeping the nation,” Sellers said.

“People across the nation are working to peacefully bring these issues to the general public.”

The movement has received the support of the federal NDP, along with other non-aboriginal groups and individuals.

“Today as we meet here there are a number of protests and rallies taking place in Egypt, at the Canadian Embassy in London, England, and throughout North America,” Sellers said, adding Idle No More is not just about aboriginal people, it’s also about protecting waters.

“As aboriginal people I say we are fighting for our children and grand-

Today’s protest was organized quickly, said

Joe Alphonse, Tsilqot’in National Government tribal chair and Anaham chief.

“We can’t sit and wait for others to come and

look after our interests as First Nations people.

If we don’t demand things we’re going to be forgotten about.”

First Nations don’t

agree with having more rights removed, Alpohnse said.

“It goes against our rights as human beings, that’s why we’re here.”

Ervin Charleyboy still in support of New Prosperity Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It’s no surprise that Ervin Charleyboy supports the proposed New Prosperity Mine Project west of Williams Lake.

Charleyboy ran for chief in his home community of Redstone earlier this year, and campaigned in support of the mine.

He lost the election to Chief Percy Guichon.

Recently Charleboy has created and distributed a pamphlet advocating that it’s time to speak out in favour of the mine.

When asked if he’s

Chief Joe Alphonse employed by Taseko Mines Ltd., Charleyboy said he does “a lot of” different things for them, but is not em-

ployed by the company.

In August Taseko worked on a watershed restoration project at Puntzi Creek, a tributary of the Chilcotin River, and Charleyboy helped recruit employees for the project, he said.

“I don’t speak on behalf of Taseko or the Tsilqot’in people, this is the way I see things,” Charleyboy said.

“I was a chief for 20 years in my community and I don’t see any employment for the people.

When forestry is not going to be there much longer, what is there for our young people?”

Ervin Charleboy Charleyboy said people speaking against the mine are “activists, people like Mining Watch Canada, Council of

Canadians and a bunch of other people that are from out of this country, that don’t even know what the country looks like, yet they’re speaking against the mine.”

Critical of letters to the editor, opposing the mine, Charleyboy said the mine is not going to hurt fish.

“When I look at Gibraltar Mine and Cuisson Lake which is half a mile from the mine, and everything flows into the Fraser River, it hasn’t hurt the fish.

Nobody’s died from eating the salmon out of there.”

Charleboy said he

doesn’t understand the opposition of Tsilqot’in chiefs to New Prosperity.

Tsilqot’in National Government chair and Anaham chief Joe Alphonse remains strongly opposed to the project.

He has not seen Charleyboy’s pamphlet, but said he would rather not get into an argument with Charleyboy’s opinion.

“I think Ervin is entitled to his opinion, but I think it’s sad that he’s taken this position,” Alphonse said. “We understand that we all need to feed our families and he

has to do what he has to do.”

Charleyboy suggested there should be a referendum among First Nations to find out if people in communities are in favour or against the mine project. Alphonse said a referendum would only embarrass those in favour of the mine.

“All you have to get is 51 per cent for a referendum to pass. We would be well beyond that,” Alphonse said, adding economic future isn’t just about money.

“It’s about taking care of the land and our future.”

Veera Bonner receives Queen’s medal

Contact The Tribune by the following Wednesday to claim your Panago gift certificate.

Cariboo Chilcotin resident Veera Bonner was recently honoured at the Williams Lake Seniors Activity Centre at a ceremony where she was presented with the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Award by Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett.

Barnett welcomed the group and explained that the award is a commemorative medal that marks the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II accession to the throne as Queen of Canada. “It’s an occasion marked only once before by her great-great-grandmother in 1897 by Queen Victoria,” she said.

Barnett explained that, to celebrate this event, 60,000 outstanding Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life are honoured for their contributions or distinctive service to their fellow citizens, their communities or to their country.

She said that Bonner was nominated by her good friend Jim Herperger.

When Herperger addressed the crowd, he announced that he would share a story about Veera, and when he said he would keep it ‘short and sweet,’ Bonner quipped, “Not too short!”

Herperger said that Veera (nee Witte) and her sisters (Irene and Hazel) wrote the ‘Book of Exodus’ about local history called Dec. 18 @ Chilcotin: Preserving 21 Pioneer Dec. Memories.

“She is one of the people who ran the elections at Big Creek.

an adventure, a party or a trip. “One time I made the mistake of mentioning that I was going to raft down the Chilcotin and said to her, ‘You should come.’ “‘OK,’ she said, ‘let’s go.’”

Bonner is a fierce defender of ranching and logging in the Chilcotin, as well as the traditional lifestyle, according to Herperger, who added that she is a great

champion of a ‘small person’ who tries to remain independent of government, and she is a devout Christian who lives her faith.

He said that Veera has a large sense of humour and loves a joke, especially one told

by Paul St. Pierre or Bruce Watt—her special favourites.

Her daughter provided some insights into Veera’s life and history, which Jim shared with the crowd.

Letters of congratulations were presented

by Barnett to Bonner from the Governor General of Canada and BC Premier Christy Clark.

Veera Bonner addressed the crowd, stating that the occasion was a great honour for her and that she appreciated everyone coming. “It’s wonderful to look around this room and see all the people and realize you came for me.”

At its regular meeting Dec. 4, City Council proclaimed January 2, 2013 as Wrestling Day, a municipal holiday that is part of what makes Williams Lake unique.

Every year since 1978, City Council decides whether to proclaim the holiday the following January, and this year, again, residents will observe Wrestling Day in Williams Lake, the only people in Canada - and probably the world - to do so.

Pioneer merchants Alistair Mackenzie and Syd Western came up the holiday one cold January 2 in the 1930s, after noticing no one was visiting their shops. Other merchants agreed it was a good day to have a holiday.

The name Wrestling Day is due to the logic that the Day following Christmas is Boxing Day. Further reasoning was that many residents were wrestling with a hangover. It’s unclear whether Syd Western or Ken Ride came up with the name.

In 1942, the Village Commission proclaimed Wrestling Day an official civic holiday, and passed a bylaw to that effect in 1959.

Wrestling Day was abolished in 1977, but reinstated the following year after residents objected.

Residents opposed to the cancellation were successful in getting town council to reinstate the holiday the next year, and city councils have proclaimed it every year since.

Whether you work, rest, or play, enjoy Wrestling Day in 2013, and take pride in the fact that it is our very own special holiday.

Hemphill dedicates Queen’s medal to environmental leaders take part,” Simpson read from a statement prepared by Hemphill.

Presently she is on the Horsefly Roundtable, Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, and Williams Lake Environmental Society.

“All of us need to get more political to pay attention to what our governments are doing so last year I worked with the Council of Canadians to host a debate with our city council and mayoral candidates.”

Simpson thanked her for continuing to raise issues about the environment.

Mayor Kerry Cook also thanked Hemphill for all the work she does in the community.

During her second stint at university, Hemphill became the founding director of the Quesnel River Watershed Alliance. She made a living doing vegetation monitoring and working with the QRWA to establish a restoration project.

Between 1999 and 2003 she was the Cariboo Chilcotin stewardship co-ordinator promoting watershed stewardship through community consultation, and events such as the Horsefly Salmon Festival. Since 2003, she’s been the environmental education coordinator at Scout Island Nature Centre, teaching children and adults about the wonders of wildlife habitat.

“With this connection to nature, Sue encourages people to take the next step which is making personal and community decisions that will ensure a healthy environment in the future,” Simpson said.

Reading from a statement prepared by Hemphill, Simpson quoted her saying it’s hard to take political action, but action eradicates the feeling of helplessness.

she thanked her husband and colleagues for putting up with her, and allowing her one rant a day, even if hers aren’t as humorous as those of Rick Mercer.

Recalling the more than 200-person delegation that attended city hall on Dec. 4, led by the Tsilhqot’in National Government to oppose the New Prosperity Mine project, Hemphill said their intent was to reinforce that “we cannot in good conscience take what we want, not understanding what it’s doing for the future.”

Problems of today and in the future, cannot be solved in the same way we created them, she said.

Cariboo North Independent MLA Bob Simpson briefly described Hemphill’s achievements.

She arrived into the Horsefly area where she homesteaded and became an avid organic gardener.

“Living in the middle of the forest, she gained insight into the forest, which compelled her to go back into university, where she obtained Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Science in Biology and Botany Majors,” Simpson said.

Const. Casey Charles (left) and Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson (right) had the honour of presenting Sue Hemphill with her medal.

G

The latest recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in the Cariboo admitted she was hesitant to accept the award.

“I don’t think it’s an award for me,” Sue Hemphill said at her award ceremony held recently city hall.

“I think it’s an award for all the stewards of the land. I want to thank all the people I work with, play with and dream with who understand that we are part of a very sensitive balance.”

Hemphill is an integral part of the Scout Island Nature Centre in Williams Lake, where she teaches environmental education to children, and said many of those children arrive at the centre with anxieties about the future left by her generation.

“They are full of energy and willing to change things,” Hemphill said.

She also thanked political leaders who run for office and are willing to tell the truth so citizens can demand governments to understand that “growth for growth’s sake is the ideology of a cancer cell.”

“Behind me stand many workers for government who do all they can to protect the environment, despite pressures on them right now to keep their mouths shut and their blinders shut,” Hemphill said.

Merry Christmas and best wishes

Xmas concerts help make the season bright

I

’ve attended many, many Christmas concerts over the years.

When I was growing up on what was then a remote coastal island, the annual Christmas concert was the social event of the year. It was held in the evening, and was followed by refreshments and the arrival of Santa with presents for the kids. In my school teacher days, again in rural areas, the teachers did the concert part with mothers doing French Connection the Santa Diana French list, costumes and refreshments. They sent the people at Eaton’s catalogue the names and ages of the kids (and the money) and would get back appropriate gifts.

Later, when I was a mom, the costumes always got me. My boys often forgot to tell me what they needed.

Bathrobes for shepherds were easy but making a Frosty the Snowman or a kangaroo outfit (“Snow White Boomer”) on short notice was not my idea of merriment. Once one of the boys was an angel and his little brother thought he was a butterfly — so much for my creative skills.

Their big fear was being stuck to play Joseph and have to appear with Mary in the nativity scene.

Having grandchildren in concerts is more fun — I just have to show up and enjoy. GDs #6 and #7 attend 150 Mile House Elementary where the primary classes had their concert last Wednesday. I couldn’t begin to count how many kids were involved in the musical The Littlest Reindeer.

GD#7 (kindergarten) was in the chorus. GD#6 (Grade 3) was the littlest reindeer.

The production was a delight.

I can only guess how many hours went into rehearsing. Congratulations to the kids and teachers — especially kindergarten teacher and musical conductor Mrs. Wanless — for a job well done.

A merry Christmas to all, with special wishes to city councillors and regional district directors. May you find peace.

Our Viewpoint

Help prevent lonely Christmases Christmas, at least, according to the media, advertising, and everything else that bombards us with messages every day, is about spending time with family, having a big feast, sharing gifts and being filled with ‘Christmas cheer.’

That’s OK for everyone who has a family that fits into the mould of the perfect family. Happy faces, laughing children, people who love you, and an abundance of cash, that is.

But, guess what? Not everyone has a home from a Sears catalogue.

Rather than being the happiest time of year, for many people Christmas is an unbearably lonely time. For those who don’t have family to share food and gifts with, being surrounded by images of Christmas merriment and perfect families only highlights the fact that they don’t fit the mould.

Everywhere you turn, advertisements, magazines, TV and radio are all telling us we should have a family or someone special to spend Christmas with. For those who

can’t be with loved ones, or do not have any, this just highlights the fact that they are alone.

The fact is, for every person actually enjoying the Christmas that the TV, magazines and stores are telling us we should be, there is a person who is feeling left out.

Canadian statistics from help lines have shown that both the number and severity of calls by depressed persons increases every year through November and December, returning to normal volume towards the end of January. Christmas is depressing. But sometimes, all that is needed is someone to notice a person’s existence.

If you know anybody who is spending Christmas alone, stop by with a card, invite them for dinner, or just knock on their door and say Merry Christmas. How good does it make you feel when a stranger smiles at you for no reason other than to show friendliness? Walking down the street, look people in the eye and smile. Make sure those who are feeling like they have nobody, know that other community members care.

t’s hard to believe that Christmas is already here and a new year is just around the corner!

It seems as though 2012 has gone by so quickly, but as it begins to wind down, I’d like to take a moment and thank you all for the wonderful memories we’ve shared this year.

Throughout the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to MLA particiMusings pate in Donna Barnett so many wonderful events and to meet with many great people in our riding.

I had the chance to welcome Government Caucus to 108 Mile House, and also enjoyed the visits by Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett, and Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Steve Thomson.

I also had the opportunity to work with the Timber Supply Committee, and to open the DriveABLE service here in Williams Lake.

I also very much enjoyed the Kids Running For Kids event, raising money for the BC Children’s Hospital and helping local kids, and speaking with many local organizations. One part of the job I love most is sharing the good news with local organizations that they will be receiving funding through the Community Gaming Grant program.

I am so grateful to have had the chance to do all this, but most of all, I am grateful to have had the chance to meet so many of you.

Speaking with constituents is my favourite part of the job, and this year I’ve had the chance to meet so many wonderful people while out and about in the riding.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and I look forward to continuing to serve you next year.

Together, we can work to make the coming year our best one yet.

Merry Christmas, and best wishes for 2013!

Editor: In response to James Williams’ letter, Dec. 18, 2012 re: “Mule Deer Mortality Senseless.”

I have been trying to raise this issue myself. Every trip to Williams Lake or 100 Mile House shows signs of a bloodbath on Highway 97 where a deer has been struck by a vehicle.

I have suggested to the Williams Lake Tribune and the 100 Mile House Free Press that they ride with the people who have to pick

up the broken bodies of the animals who died on the road and write a column on the experience.

It should include graphic pictures to shock the driving public.

We also need a body count, actual numbers.

How do the men feel at the end of the day after shovelling dead and dying animals from the highway?

Drivers should be more aware.

Slow down!

Make sure to spend time with family and friends this season Christmas comes early to city hall. The Cariboo Men’s Choir generously donated a piano last night as they opened our council meeting with Christmas carols.

We had a special presentation from Bob Simpson recognizing Sue Hemphill for her outstanding community service and her work on behalf of the environment.

Sue is another worthy recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal.

Great news with Gibraltar Mines finding a tentative agreement with the union.

This gives some peace and assurance to all of their employees as Christmas approaches.

In the coming weeks, the four speed reader boards in town (Third Ave, Foster Way, South Lakeside Drive, and Mackenzie Ave) will start displaying your speed as you approach them.

They are a good reminder to slow down and to be safe.

All too often we hear of crashes that involve speed. Especially now in the winter time, it’s very important to slow down.

The boards are currently on and collecting traffic data to help the City make decisions in the future.

A big thank you to the organizers and volunteers at the Christmas Wish breakfast Wednesday morning at the Ramada. Thanks to all who generously donated

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook toys for children in our community.

It is the season for giving, and people gave generously!

Coming up in the New Year, Council will be consulting the community on whether residents want to see a separate line item on tax notices to pay for a fiveperson Crime Reduction Team to target active criminals and hot spots in the City.

The recent Crime Severity Index numbers are very encouraging – we’ve fallen 150 points, and from the top (worst) spot to #6, but there’s work to be done.

Williams Lake has the busiest detachment in the province, and we need to make a change to tackle crime better.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! I hope everyone can slow down enough to spend time with those family and friends that are so important. I’m looking forward to a prosperous 2013!

Cariboo Canucks Hockey Club AllNative Tournament

Greg Sabatino photos

Williams Lake Secondary School hockey player Alena Mayer rips a shot past vice-principal Curt Levens last Wednesday during the Willams Lake Secondary Hockey Classic at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Students beat teachers in rubber match Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It was the rubber match to end all rubber matches. It was also one of the most fun times of the school year for both students and teachers at Williams Lake Secondary School.

The third annual Williams Lake Secondary Hockey Classic, pitting the school’s female hockey players against the teachers, hit the ice at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex last Wednesday afternoon.

And with both the teachers and the students heading into the tilt clutching onto one victory a piece from years past, the stakes were high.

The inaugural year saw the girls march away with a tightly contested 6-5 overtime win. In year two it was the teachers answering back with a 6-5 regulation triumph.

This year, it wasn’t even close.

The girls stormed out of the gates providing little chance for any teacher offence throughout, skating to a 5-0 shutout victory.

After one period, with goals from Alena Mayer and Alexa Nelson, the students took a 2-0 lead. In period two Nikky Leah lit the lamp to make it 3-0 before adding another in the third, followed by Mayer’s second, to cap off the scoring.

In goal and earning the shutout for the girls was Columneetza sec-

ondary’s Bailey Schick.

Mayer, jestingly taunting the teachers, asked teacher and game organizer Morley Wilson what went wrong for his club.

“We skate faster than them,” she joked, adding it was the most satisfying student win yet. “And we had the puck about 95 per cent of the time.”

Wilson pointed to the inexperience of the teachers as the reason for the loss.

“I played hockey for three years from 1977 to 1980, and then I played a couple years of rec hockey,” he said. “We had a few teachers who have played — Mr. Levens, Mr. Bouchard, Mr. Duff and Mr. Micacchi — and we had some who just learned how to skate. We also had a couple ladies out there in their figure skates.”

Mark Thiessen, School District 27 superintendent, also took part in the game.

Wilson added the game is probably the highlight of the year, as most of the school comes out to watch, and is a great chance for the female hockey players in Williams Lake to play together as a team.

The idea to start the WLSS Hockey Classic came about a few years ago during a conversation with a student, Madison Smith.

“We were just skating at the rink talking during a P.E. class and talking about girls playing hockey,” he

WLSS player Alexa Nelson (middle) looks to slip one past WLSS teacher and netminder Terry Duff while teacher Jeannette Globolos looks to tie her up. The students went on to win 5-0. said. “We started talking about how we should recognize the girls who play hockey and it turned into this game.”

Smith, who said she hasn’t played house league the past two years, strapped on her skates for the game.

“The highlight for me is getting all the girls together,” she said. “It’s just a lot of fun and a good time.”

Leah, who has played in goal for the girls the past two years, said it was fun to play out this year.

Nelson said the everyone at the school gets involved.

“It’s great because everyone in

the school comes out,” Nelson said.

“We had coaches on our team who were in Grade 12, an announcing team and refs from our school.”

With another win in the record books the girls will now get to walk past the coveted WLSS Hockey Classic trophy, inscribed with their names, in the hallway for the rest of their high school careers.

“The trophy will have the scores on them and it will go up,” Wilson said.

“So far they’re pretty humble about their crushing win over the teachers.”

Family Fun Day at Bull Mountain goes Jan. 6 The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club is inviting everyone to attend Bull Mountain’s annual Family Fun Day. The event, said organizer Betty Donahue, is a great opportunity for the entire family or individuals to try out cross-country skiing — even if you’ve never skied before.

“The emphasis here is on having fun learning basic techniques without having to buy skis,” Donahue said.

She added skis, boots and poles will be provided to those who need them, but asked those who do have them to bring their own to ensure everyone gets a chance to ski.

“Members of the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club will also be there to provide free lessons,” she said.

“It’s a great chance to come see what it’s all about.

“Instructors will help you develop that technique that gets you easily down the track.”

The event is scheduled for Sunday, Jan.

Povelofskie stepping up in sophomore season Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If last weekend’s win against the Vancouver NW Giants is any indication, Williams Lake’s Tyler Povelofskie’s sophomore season as a member of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s Cariboo Cougars could end in celebration.

The Cougars and Povelofskie, currently third in the BCMMHL with 18 wins and six losses, split last weekend’s series with the first-place Giants losing 6-2 Saturday before bouncing back to a 4-0 shutout win. The loss was just the Giants’ second of the season.

Povelofskie told the Tribune it’s nice to see the hard work his team’s put in pay off, especially after losing to them in last year’s playoff final.

Tyler Povelofskie “It’s definitely nice to beat the Giants,” he said. “Especially when I lose to them last year all the time and then lose to them twice this year — it’s great to pickup the win against them.”

The 16-year-old forward, in 24 games, has collected 12 goals and 10 assists for a 22-point campaign thus far. The league, currently on its holiday break, resumes play Jan. 5 to wrap up its 40-game season when the Cougars host

www.wltribune.com A11

the Valley West Hawks.

Despite being the lone Williams Lake player on the team, Povelofskie said he’s being looked to more by the team’s coaching staff to provide leadership on and off the ice.

He’s also filling the assistant captain role for the Cougars this year.

“That’s definitely the biggest change this year,” he said.

“The leadership role has been the biggest change.

“I’m being put in more situations where I’m supposed to be the leadership and more depended on.

“I’m definitely more comfortable this year.

We don’t have as many guys returning this year as last year so it’s a bit harder for us because we have to be the example but I’m having a great time.”

Povelofskie’s holi-

day respite will be short-lived, however, as the Cougars are entered in this year’s Mac’s AAA Hockey Tournament in Calgary from Dec. 27 to Jan. 1. The team’s bus, he added, leaves Christmas day.

“It’s an international tournament so there’s a lot of teams and a lot of people there,” he said.

“It’s also really good for exposure to all sorts of different leagues.

There’s people from all over watching — scouts and things like that.”

He said once the Cougars get back to Prince George following the tournament, the team will shift its focus to finishing the season on a high note.

“Last year we made the final, and it’s the same thing this year,” he said.

“Our main goal is

to win the league and then go on to the Telus Cup.” The BCMMHL winner will go on to play the top Alberta team, with the winner then advancing to the national tournament April 22-28, 2013, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Following the season Povelofskie said he plans on attending multiple major junior hockey camps throughout the province with the hope of stepping up a level for next season.

“I’m going to go to a couple of junior A camps down in the Okanagan, maybe go down to Vancouver Island, then I’m still planning to go to the [WHL’s] Kelowna Rockets camp.

“I have to get my name out there and see what I can do. I’m going to have to train hard and play harder.”

Creating Earth friendly Christmas traditions Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer In these days of economic uncertainty and environmental trials it’s nice to know that one can still create a heartwarming Christmas using nature’s bounty and recycled materials.

The second annual Earth Friendly Holiday Event held at Scout Island Nature Center held Nov. 30/Dec. 1 sent happy participants home with full bellies and Earth friendly Christmas gifts and decorations.

“The turnout from the community was excellent and everyone enjoyed the creative projects, excellent food and wonderful company,” says project co-ordinator Carla Glessing.

The event was organized by the Healthy By Nature collaborative which includes the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society, Scout Island Nature Centre, Williams Lake Field Naturalists, Williams Lake Environmental Society and the Food Policy Council (including Cariboo Growers).

During a Friday evening session that carried over into a Saturday session participants had the opportunity to: • Create a holiday wreath using local boughs, cones and other greenery fastened to repurposed bicycle wheels.

• Create a colourful rag wreath using materials from the Salvation Army thrift store.

• Make gift wrapping using recyclable paper and decorating the paper with old fashioned stamps with designs cut from potatoes.

• Create gift tags using last year’s Christmas cards.

• Fold magazines to create a beautiful paper Christmas tree and then decorate it with strings of beads found at the local share shed, or strings of popcorn and rose hips, and topping the tree off with a beautiful thistle.

• Paint and take home a beautiful, handmade bird feeder.

• Create bird houses from Douglas-fir and birch bark, moss and other treasures from nature.

• Create hot plate trivets by gluing rocks onto beautifully cut pieces of wood.

• Create three dimensional stars from cereal boxes.

• The event included an alternative gift ideas table, games and activities for children, an opportunity for a night walk under the stars, the exchange of baked good and preserves and more.

“Great food was available in the kitchen - healthy, hot soups, homemade breads, veggie and

Santa visits Miocene

Carla Glessing photos

Lesley Lloyd and her granddaughter, Shauna Lloyd, 9, create Christmas bird houses using simple and beautiful materials from nature including moss and bark.

Miocene residents are asked to be on alert for the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. He will travel with his good friends and helpers at the Miocene Volunteer Fire Department. He is expected to arrive at the first cattle guard on the Spokin Lake Road at 4 p.m. then travel down the Spokin Lake Road and all side roads heading to the Horsefly Road.

He will then proceed down the Horsefly Road with a quick stop at Miocene Community Club Hall, then on towards Allpress Road including all side roads, from there to Rose Drive with his last stop down Branch Drive.

The Miocene Community Club will be serving hot chocolate at the Miocene Community Club Hall Christmas Eve in anticipation of Santa’s arrival.

Wanda Heseldine holds up an interesting wreath made from recycled cloth.

Friday night was amazed at the quality of the event. She said she was going to give us a “rose” in the local newspaper.

She left at one point and came back with her friend who she just had to go and get so she could see what a wonderful event was happening.

“Her daughter, son-in-law and grandson were also with her and

they too, as did everyone who attended, really enjoyed the event.”

She says the event would not have been possible without a lot of hard work by many volunteers who began collecting all the supplies during the summer and continued to do so right up to the event, Glessing says.

“Thank-you to all of you.”

Financial literacy contest winners announced Cariboo-Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) Financial Literacy contest winners are Chris Hornby and Brycen Meyers, says Melody Newcombe.

Hornby wrote a wonderful six-page essay on how to budget from childhood to retirement, Newcombe says.

Her prizes are a year’s free chequing account, and a safety deposit box and a great book 397 Ways to Save

by Kerry K. Taylor.

Brycen Meyers created a fabulous drawing of a planned future for himself, owning a toy store, a home of his own and a car so he can get around, Newcombe says. “Brycen showed great imagination in his drawing and who wouldn’t like to own a toy store.”

Brycen’s prizes are a youth savings ac-

count with an opening balance of $10 and the board game Canadaopoly. “Our goal in putting on the contest was to get everyone thinking about how important it is to keep up our financial literacy skills while having fun,” Newcombe says.

“We use our literacy skills in everything we do from what groceries we buy to how we save money.”

She says CCPL and Kirsten Stark, the financial literacy co-ordinator thank everyone who entered the contest.

Stark says taking time

to make small changes with how we manage and understand money can have great impacts on how we live.

CCPL has many programs and services available.

People who would like to know more are asked to email mel@

caribooliteracy.com “We also have some wonderful volunteer opportunities,” Newcombe says.

She says CCPL also appreciates CIBC and the Royal Bank of Canada in Williams Lake for donating the banking prizes.

Thank you for purchasing a Kwaleen Christmas Spirit Tree

Mammography fundraising at the half way point The Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust’s formal Evening in Paris gala held in November raised a total of $44,000 toward the purchase of a new digital mammography machine for Cariboo Memorial Hospital, says trust co-chair Rick

Nelson.

He says the fundraising has now reached just over $300,000 which is half way to raising the community’s share of $600,000 to purchase the million dollar piece of equipment.

He says 2,500 mam-

mography scans are done each year at Cariboo Memorial Hospital which will make the upgraded piece of equipment a valuable asset to the hospital.

He says there was a great turn-out for the gala with 235 people

in attendance and great support for the auction from local businesses.

While cash donations were down a bit this year he says auction numbers were way up.

“The food and dancing were really good and people are already

asking if they can get tickets for next year,” Nelson says. “We are very pleased with the community’s response.

It is becoming an event people want to attend.”

He notes all money donated to the hospital trust stays locally.

COMMUNITY Community support rebuilds Scout Island bridge Jenny Noble Special to The Tribune Keeping the peace and beauty of Scout Island Nature Centre available for the public is an ongoing community project, as several generous local businesses demonstrated recently.

In the fall, the 25-yearold bridge to the far island was observed to be sloping to one side, so it was examined and replacement was recommended.

The Scout Island Nature Centre Committee asked Daryl Taylor of Celtic Engineering for his advice and help.

Daryl offered to manage the project and provided engineering services, gravel and service truck, site supervision and labour.

He also obtained the required services and materials from other local contractors. “It was nice to see everybody come together and help out for this community project. All of the contractors who participated offered in-kind donations,” Daryl said.

To begin, the Likely Xats’ull Community Forest donated two 50foot fir logs to be used as stringers.

Phil and Rod Blake debarked and slabbed the logs, then milled fir lumber for the project. United Concrete provided the concrete blocks that support the stringers, and Cariboo Interior Crane Services transported them to Scout Island.

RONA supplied timbers for the cross ties, which were delivered by volunteers. Larry Davis of Davis Environmental made sure environmental regulations were met and provided a detailed crossing plan for the installation.

The bridge replacement was completed over a two week period in mid-November. First, Ray Brown, excavator operator from Dev Ray Excavating, and Steve Doucette, supervisor for Celtic Engineering, cut the old bridge into sections and moved them to the adjacent land.

The old logs were extremely rotten and measures were taken to ensure no debris fell into the lake. The following

Loads of crushed gravel and rock were delivered by United Concrete to finish the approaches.

The sections of the old bridge were taken away

by Celtic Engineering and Ark Services.

Constructing the new bridge itself took three days. On day one Eldorado Log Hauling lowbedded stringers and lumber.

Ray and Steve spent the day placing and fastening the logs over the concrete blocks and timber caps.

At the end of this day the cross ties were fastened to the logs.

On day two, Steve and volunteers installed the posts, decking, railings, and support braces.

John Johnstone assisted by picking up the logs that were used to get the excavator across the water, and delivering them back to West Fraser.

On day three, volunteers Murray Hoffman,

Ray Hornby, Rick Nelson, Phil Ranson, Rodger Hamilton, Rick Dawson and Fred McMechan constructed staircases at each end.

Williams Lake Field Naturalist volunteers contributed a total of 146 hours of their time to the project.

Annual funding from the Joint Committee of the Central Cariboo Regional District also helps to support our trails projects, and will help us pay for our share of the materials and services needed to complete this great project.

From the staff, membership and volunteers of the Williams Lake Field Naturalists, from the children of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, from the nature lovers who visit from around the world, and from all the creatures who call Scout Island home, an enormous and heart-felt thank you to the great companies and individuals who created our new footbridge.

Mount Polley Mine apprenticeship program expanded Secondary students in the Cariboo are now able to undertake a secondary school apprenticeship at the Mount Polley Mine through a pilot program, announced this fall by Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman.

The project, which is endorsed by the BC Mining HR Task Force and School District #27 Cariboo Chilcotin is hoping to address the issues of an aging workforce and related skill shortages.

“The skills shortage in mining is a challenge for industry today,” said Coleman, in the press release.

“This program will help to solve these shortages in a very innovative manner by working directly with our schools. Mining can provide an excellent opportunity for all British Columbians who want to contribute to their communities and be a part of B.C.’s historical mining industry and its bright future.”

The BC Mining HR Taskforce is encouraged by the initiation of innovative recruitment and training plans for young people in high-school, careerpreparation programs and stresses that these programs are more important than ever.

The program started in June 2012 and will be completed in June 2013.

An agreement was reached with Mount Polley Mine and, as a result, students and their trade area were identified from the district’s programs.

Several mining-related trades and their students were available for the pilot and entered into employment with the mine.

The goal of this training model is to ensure the successful outcome for both student and employer. With its completion and success, the training model can be used by other mining companies and school districts in other regions of British Columbia.

“Mount Polley Mines has been the

greatest of industry partners that we work with and that assists us on a number of skilled trades related projects year after year,” said Gord Armour chair of the Education and Training Committee, Mining HR Task Force.

“The district (School District 27) would not be able to offer the career information and opportunities in the mining industry without their strong support for education.”

Tim Fisch, general manager, Mount Polley Mining Corporation is equally pleased with the program.

“Mount Polley Mining Corporation is pleased to participate in this innovative program, which will provide the youth in our region the skills necessary to take advantage of high-paying job opportunities in our industry immediately upon completion of their secondary education,” Fisch said.

“The program affords safe, practical training under the guidance of qualified industry professionals and allows our company to fill the void of job vacancies while insuring our communities are strengthened through local hirings.

“The program would not be possible without the co-operation of industry, the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas and School District #27, and we would like to thank all the participants, particularly Mr. Gordon Amour, for their hard work and efforts in this successful initiative.”

David Bazowski, chair of the BC Mining HR Task Force, said: “This is a great example of a collaborative effort by industry working with educators to create a pathway for our youth to become aware of and enter the trades at an early stage if they so choose.”

Donna Barnett, MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin added: “Apprenticeships like this one give students the chance to learn real skills, which will help them in their career path, while at

the same time addressing the skills shortage we have in mining.

“I’m very happy to see collaborative projects such as this one where both the students and the industry benefit.”
