Family matter delays city civil suit Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The civil trial between Don DeGagne and the City of Williams Lake slated to begin Monday has been postponed until some time in the new year, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook confirmed Monday.

The trial was expected to start Nov. 25 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, and was expected to last four days.

According to court documents, DeGagne is seeking general damages for “wrongful dismissal and breach of the contract, aggravated and punitive damages, special damages, interest, costs and further relief the court deems just.”

Originally DeGagne was to begin working as the city’s chief administrative officer on Mar. 1, but was

told a few days before the start date the city would not be hiring him.

For its part, the city stated in court papers that as a result of some events, “the City was concerned that the Plaintiff’s leadership style would not fit with its organization. The City had the discretion to determine whether the Plaintiff was the right fit for the City and made a good faith assessment in that regard.”

Cook said the city learned late Friday afternoon the trial had been postponed.

“It was agreed upon because one of our witnesses was unable to attend in person,” Cook said. “Both lawyers agreed under the circumstances it could be postponed.”

When reached for comment on the postponement, DeGagne

www.wltribune.com A3

said he was disappointed.

“This is very disappointing, but of course family has to come first.”

Three city councillors and two staff members were scheduled to attend the trial, Cook said, adding now the lawyers are looking at options of holding the trial in Williams Lake.

City chief administrative officer Darrell Garceau said DeGagne’s claim was filed in Vancouver which resulted in the trial being scheduled to be heard there.

“Our lawyer will look at an alternative location just to expedite the trial because my understanding from speaking to our lawyer on Friday was that the earliest trial date probably couldn’t happen until at least June,” Garceau said.

Medieval confections

Radon test kits available Dr. Menn Biagtan, program manager with the BC Lung Association, said recently more people in and around Williams Lake should have their homes tested for radon gas.

Radon is a colourless, odourless gas that is produced from the natural breakdown of uranium rocks and soil.

It can enter a home through any openings in the floors and foundations and build up to dangerous levels.

“The more homes we can encourage to test the better because then we will have a better picture of how many homes and families are exposed to high levels of radon in each of the

areas,” Biagtan said.

Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking and has been found in high concentrations in Northern BC. People wanting to test their homes for radon gas can obtain a test kit by contacting the BC Lung As-

sociation at 1-800-665LUNG (5864).

The kits cost $30 and come with information about how to perform the test. Alternatively, radon test devices may also be available at local hardware stores. Prices and types can vary.

Anahim residents unhappy with BC Ferries cuts Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tourism operators in the Chilcotin have feared for a long time they would lose the Discovery Coast ferry, said Petrus Rykes of the West Chilcotin Tourism Association.

“Every year we’ve had this cloud hanging over our head. Is the ferry going to be cancelled?”

Rykes owns and operates the Eagle’s Nest Resort at Anahim Lake and said he would not be fighting

to keep the ferry going if it was strictly about losing money.

With the Discovery Coast route there are three variations, Rykes explained.

“You’ve got a milk run that’s 33 hours long, another milk run that’s 20 hours long and a direct run from Port Hardy to Bella Coola that’s 15 hours long.”

His rough calculation revealed that 15 per cent of the sailings of the direct run do 70 per cent of the volume.

“So you’ve got the milk runs doing close to 85 per cent of the sailings and 30 per cent of the volume, where do you think you’re losing money?”

In the first years of the ferry running in 1996 and 1997, approximately 9,000 people rode the ferry each year.

“One year, a month or two before the ferry was going to start up, they cut out a third and slashed the month of September,” Rykes recalled. “I personally lost a third of my

business, and the passenger rate dropped to below 7,000.”

The route was cancelled in 2002, but Rykes was on the tourism board at the time. The communities fought and the decision was rescinded.

Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone, however, said Tuesday evening eliminating the Discovery Coast route “is pretty much a done deal.”

“The savings that we realize from eliminating Route 40 are

$700,000 per year, and exponentially more after that, have to be realized,” Stone said.

If there was to be any change in the decsion that was made to reverse the decision to eliminate the route, the savings would have to be found elsewhere, he said.

On Wednesday, Stone will meet with Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Shirley Bond and Minister of State

for Small Business Naomi Yamomoto, he said.

“We will explore potential options in terms of mitigation of the impacts of the decision.”

If someone can come to him with $700,000-plus savings from a service level perspective somewhere else in the ferry system, then perhaps the decision could be reconsidered, Stone said.

“The other part that is really driving this decision and annual

savings is the Queen of Chilliwack needs to be replaced in three years.”

The vessel has a current vehicle capacity of 113 cars.

“The replacement cost on a ferry half the size and improvements on the related ferry terminal would be in the neighbourhood of $100 million per year from a capital perspective,” Stone said.

Cutting the route was a difficult decision, but the right one Stone said.

Pet’s death inspires SPCA gift

If you were a Tribune Subscriber you could

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

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A donation and challenge is helping Genny Gudjonson feel better about the death of her 14-year-old lab rottweiler cross, Duke.

Duke was like her kid, she said, so after seeing a photograph in the Weekend Advisor depicting Save-OnFoods donating gift cards to the BC SPCA, she decided she would buy $200 in gift cards from Walmart and challenge Walmart across Canada to match and donate to their local SPCA. “I thought wow, the SPCA needs stuff,” Gudjonson said. “This would be a great way to honour my dog because he’s no longer here.”

Having fun being competitive, she decided to beat Save-On’s donation and “shame” Walmart to do the same.

When she inquired at Walmart with the assistant manager she was told to write a letter outlining her challenge and fill out a form asking for the donation.

Liz Dighton, the branch manager at the BCSPCA Williams Lake and District Branch, said Gudjonson’s donation was a bright spot in a very busy day.

“She phoned out of the blue and asked if her donation would work and we said great. Gift cards from the store of people’s choices are always fantastic.”

Branch staff do eight to 10 loads of laundry a day, and use a ton of cleaning supplies. They need pet salt for our sidewalks, even sheets

“Cash is always good too because our hydro bills are high this time of year.”

Supporters of the SPCA can also look forward to the annual Pet Photos with Santa coming up this weekend.

NOTICE

PUBLIC FORUM

The City of Williams Lake is moving forward with the implementation of the 2011 Secondary Suites Policy, and will begin charging a 20% water and sewer utility surcharge to properties with secondary suites as of Jan. 1, 2014.

Proposed Residential Parking Changes Thursday, Nov. 28 4:30-7:30 p.m. at City Hall In order to increase the effectiveness of snow removal in residential areas, the City of Williams Lake is proposing to align snow removal with the garbage and recycling pickup schedule, and restrict parking streets for a 24 hour period the day preceding the scheduled garbage pickup (i.e. if an area has garbage pickup on a Tuesday, street parking is not permitted on Monday.) Vehicles parked on the street interfere with the proper cleanup of snow, and those found doing so will be towed.

This change would limit the impact on most residential areas to only one set day a week, and allow snow removal crews to have these areas completely cleaned so that the garbage containers can be placed on the street for the day of their pickup. Snow plowing will continue to be done as needed.

Letters were sent recently to property owners who have been identified as having secondary suites, according to BC Assessment data advising them of the surcharge. Included with the letter is an information sheet on the City’s Secondary Suites Policy. This sheet is also included at the end of this release.

The letter also advises residents that they have the opportunity to notify the City that they don’t have a secondary suite, and the City will confirm this through an inspection.

City Council endorsed a Secondary Suite Policy in order to make secondary suites in the city safer, ensure there is a diversity of housing options in Williams Lake, and to more equitably collect water and sewer fees. More information is available from the City’s website at http://www.williamslake.ca/index. asp?p=3408 or at City Hall.

For more information, please contact the Planning Clerk at 250-392-2311.

Bus Shelter Advertising and Maintenance

The City welcomes all comments on the proposed change. Comments can be e-mailed to bylawenforcement@williamslake.ca, or written comments can be dropped off at City Hall, 450 Mart Street.

The City of Williams Lake is seeking Expressions of Interest from firms or individuals that may be interested in selling and maintaining advertising on City bus shelters and performing ongoing maintenance and repairs of shelters.

After receiving feedback, the parking forum scheduled for next Thursday, Nov. 28, will be held from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the lobby and Council Chambers at City Hall, not at 6 p.m.

The City currently has 19 bus shelters located throughout the City. Each shelter is equipped with one 47” x 64” double sided backlit display case for advertising purposes.

All residents are encouraged to attend to learn about the proposed change and to provide feedback on the proposed changes described below.

Interested parties can pick up a detail sheet outlining the minimum expectations for submission of the expression of interest from: Reg Ryan, Manager of Transportation and Buildings City of Williams Lake 450 Mart Street, Williams Lake, BC V2G 1N3 Email: rryan@williamslake.ca Telephone: (250) 392-1784 Deadline for Submission is 2:00 pm Friday, January 3, 2014

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

What happened to a new era?

Have a safe and happy holiday season

A

Granny brag. Two family members did well in the sports department last weekend in completely different events.

Grandson-in-law Brock distinguished himself on his Yamaha (YZ250F) at the Canadian Arenacross Championship series in Chilliwack. The sports pages will explain better than I can, but he finished second, fourth, third, and a spectacular first in the competitions.

In a very different field of endeavour, grandFrench daughter-in-law Connection Jen participated Diana French in the third annual Vancouver Historic Half Marathon (Seawall and a bit of Stanley Park), running 21.1 km in less than two hours. Whew! *** Received an e-mail the other day from Shaw.ca advising me the system had been upgraded and to reply to verify my account.

It didn’t feel right, so I called Shaw. It wasn’t right. It was a scam. Shaw never asks for a direct reply, so beware. *** Canada’s founding fathers had the right idea in establishing the senate, but it does need fixing. The length of senators’ terms in office is problematical, but the big issue is that politics can get in the way of common sense when it comes to appointments, and Prime Minister Harper really did pick a few lulus. Mr. Harper promised to bring a “New era of accountability” to government, and Canadians believed him. So what happened? It’s his watch, he appointed both the troublesome trio and the PMO staff who tried to fix things.

According to a story in the Vancouver Sun, Mr. Harper once assured reporters there was no danger of a Conservative government having absolute power because it would be kept in check by senators, judges and civil servants appointed by Liberal governments. Since then, Mr. Harper has dispensed with hundreds of civil servants (e.g. scientists) whose advice he didn’t like, and has appointed his own senators and judges.

We know what’s happened with the senate.

That leaves the courts.

ith the temperature going down and decorations going up, the holiday season is set to

Our Viewpoint

Let the season begin If you’re not in the holiday spirit yet, you will be by the end of this weekend.

Williams Lake volunteers and businesses are rolling out the red carpet for families, and also for one very special visitor.

Starting Friday, many Williams Lake businesses will be offering sales as part of Black Friday promotions.

On Saturday, of course, our city will be hosting its annual Winter Lights Festival and Santa Claus Parade.

The parade will begin travelling from the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at about 11:30 a.m. and make its way to Spirit Square downtown, where there will be entertainment, food and refreshments and games for children.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be at Spirit Square following the parade to collect letters and Christmas wishes from children.

Don’t forget Santa will also be having his picture taken Saturday with pets for a donation to the SPCA at the Williams Lake Veterinary Hospital too.

Another worthwhile holiday event taking place Saturday is the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society’s Earth Friend-

ly Holiday Event.

If you haven’t gone before, you should.

This event has been so popular in past years the society has had to move it from Scout Island to the arts centre just to fit everyone in.

As well as being able to make your own natural decorations, you can also make wreaths and bird feeders to give away as gifts.

During the event, the society is also collecting unwanted skates and bicycles that they refurbish and redistribute in the community.

What says Christmas more than that?

During the holiday season there are also many food drives and worthwhile charities in the lakecity which we can all join in to help to make a difference.

As we all know, Christmas can also be a very difficult time for some who struggle with loss through the holidays.

If you are looking for solace, you may find some at the Memory Tree Celebration taking place at Williams Lake City Hall this Sunday afternoon.

And with that in mind, please celebrate the season responsibly and don’t drink and drive.

begin.

This is the perfect time of year to spend time with friends and family. As we move into winter, however, it’s important to keep safety in mind as we drive across town, or out of town, to visit our loved ones.

Snow and ice can make road condiMLA tions dangerous around this time Musings of year, but with Donna Barnett a bit of preparation, we can make sure that we and our loved ones stay safe.

Some important precautions to take during the winter include checking current road conditions, planning your route ahead of time, leaving plenty of time so you’re not rushing, learning winter road skills, leaving plenty of room between you and the vehicles ahead of you, and having an emergency plan in case anything happens.

One of the best places to learn about winter road safety on the ICBC website at www.icbc.com/roadsafety.

There, you can learn about how to prepare your car for winter, and get tips on what do if your car is hydroplaning, or if you find yourself driving on black ice. By knowing how to deal with these types of conditions beforehand, you can prevent accidents from happening.

Another great resource is the DriveBC. ca website, which can help you plan for road conditions before you set out on the road.

By checking ahead, planning your route, and making sure you are prepared for the conditions you’ll be driving in, you’ll help make the road safer not only for yourself, but also for everyone around you.

Remember to celebrate responsibly this winter, and if you’re planning on drinking, make sure you have a safe way of getting home.

Operation Red Nose is kicking off its 30th annual campaign at the end of the month, so don’t hesitate to call.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

More Viewpoints Don’t be afraid of change Question of the week Editor: Re: Carson/Johnson I live on Ninth. Yes, Carson needs to lose the light.

People, don’t be so afraid of a little change in your life.

Every day all winter I watch as trucks blare their horns and blow through the lights on 97 at Carson because if they stop they won’t get going again.

The grade is too steep for mod-

ern trucking flow.

If they move the light to Toop, level off the grade and have a safer traffic flow, I believe it will save lives and is a win, win situation.

Do you few people, bemoaning a vew more vehicles on our (not your) Johnson want to be responsible for a major traffic accident? The Province is actually trying to avoid a known problem.

Quit crying about the conjes-

tion on Johnson.

It is already there and the city is trying to fix the situation.

You have two sidewalks and parking.

I have no sidewalks and no parking and pay the same taxes. Embrace the changes.

We will all be safer with the outcome.

Ferry cancellation will hurt tourism Editor: The cancellation of the Discovery Coast Passage sailing is going to affect all businesses along Highway 20, Williams Lake and beyond.

Called a “mini Alaskan cruise,” the loss of this circle tour is going to hurt tourism from Vancouver Island through Bella Coola, the Chilcotin, the Cariboo and the Highway 97/Highway 1 corridor to Vancouver.

With all the cutbacks it seems that the pristine wilderness and mountain areas of B.C. are gradually becoming secret again and may go back to becoming even more undiscovered landscape.

A secret hunting, fishing and scenic area of the 50s, it sometimes took a week to ‘drive’ to Anahim Lake.

When I resurfaced Highway 20 between Tatla and Nimpo Lake in 1998 we dug “corduroy” (pine

trees laid across the clay with a spray of gravel over the top), Cariboo Flats required nearly a half kilometre removal. Pine logs are definitely not a governmentapproved road construction method. Mostly remembered as a gravel road, only 40 kilometres of gravel surface remains between Anahim Lake and the famous Bella Coola Hill now.

The Bella Coola Hill is best left as a gravel surface as it is one of the most spectacular highway sections in Canada. The 6,500 foot height at the top of the hill is amazing and the view as the highway drops into the valley between 8,000 foot mountains is breathtaking. Gravel surface throughout the winter on the steep grades is much safer than pavement would be.

Summer is fantastic in the West Chilcotin with rainbow and brown trout in every one of the 800-plus local lakes. Two gla-

ciers in the area means that tourists don’t even need to drive all the way to Jasper and Banff to see and walk on the ancient ice fields. Grizzly bears are usually seen west of Anahim Lake beside Highway 20 each trip down the highway.

A tourists heaven, many are now going to be missing the opportunity of a lifetime with the ferry being cancelled.

Trail riding is available at Anahim Lake and there are many flyin resorts supported by Tweedsmier Air/Stewart’s Lodge.

The summer is the time that tourism is greatest and the cancellation is going to prevent a lot of tourists from experiencing this adventure. Adventures such as this are what drives our economy and is part of what makes British Columbia so famous throughout the world.

What do you think of the BC Hydro rate increase of 25.5 per cent over five years?

Snowfall in 1966 outdid recent dump Editor: I read with interest the story in your paper of the record snowfall of Nov. 15.

Well, I still remember the 37inch snowfall here in October of

1966.

It snowed from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day.

I had to use a fork lift with a bulldozer blade on it to clear the roads at the sawmill 10 miles up Dog Creek Road where I worked.

I still have a photo of my car completely buried in snow that makes a 15-inch snowfall look sick.

NUNS: Leave Anaham

MC6600

A 70-year-history has come to an end with the departure of the Catholic Missionary Sisters of Christ the King from the Chilcotin First Nations community of Anaham.

Community members of Anaham Reserve along with Bishop David Monroe of Kamloops and Fr. Clinton Pendleton of Sacred Heart Church in Williams Lake held a special mass and community luncheon on Oct. 27 to say goodbye to the last remaining nuns living on the reserve.

The history of Catholic nuns living at Anaham dates back to 1944 when Chief Casimir Bob offered the nuns land and Archbishop Williams Mark Duke financed the building of a convent.

Working as teachers, nurses and in pastoral care, they remained in the community until the end of last month.

Sr. Evva Melanson was one of the last two remaining sisters living at Anaham and said it was an aging order that

caused them to leave.

“The other sister with me at Anaham was 79 and I’m 77,” Melanson said from the mother house for retired missionaries in Laval, Que. “Our health wasn’t good so for that reason we had to come back to the mother house because there’s an infirmary here. There was no one else to replace us.”

In Canada very few women have become nuns and in the last 20 years in Canada their order has had no new sisters, Melanson explained.

“It’s similar across the country, not just with our order.”

Chief Bob was the present chief Joe Alphonse’s father.

Alphonse said their departure will leave a huge void in the community.

“I think everyone in the community, all of the clans, all of the family groups, have countless stories that they could share.

There’d be endless stories about all the good work and all the goodhearted work the nuns have done over the years.”

There was a time when more members believed in Christianity, whereas today more people believe in First Nations spirituality, however, his community had the privilege to benefit from both beliefs, Alphonse said.

“We have the sisters to thank for that.”

With the sisters gone, the community will have to step up to do the simple things, like putting up Christmas lights and decorating the church.

“Anaham is known for its midnight mass,” Alphonse said.

Originally from New Brunswick, Melanson spent eight years in total at Anaham, arriving first in 1957 just after her noviciate.

She had been a nun for three years.

Her third stint in Anaham was from 2010 up until her departure last month.

When she arrived in 1957, there were eight sisters living together at Anaham.

They were involved in teaching in the school on the reserve, nursing in the hospital near the convent and pastoral work.

“We would travel to all the different missions whenever there was a need.”

The sisters had eight missions in B.C. at one time.

“We had over 30 sisters in B.C. at one time, but we opened up mission houses in Africa, on the Ivory Coast and in Haiti, so some of the missionaries went there,” Melanson said.

Alphonse said the community is looking at the possibility of turning the nun’s convent into an elder’s home, but would need to secure longterm funding.

“The house has been there for 70 years, we’d hate to see it gone,” he said.

Before the sisters left, the community held a goodbye party and several people sent greetings or attended in person.

One of those was Lila Gunn who travelled from Browning, Montana.

“The sisters have been a part of my life since childhood,” Gunn said. “We are so thankful and grateful for all those years they lived with us.”

Taseko responds to CEAA seepage claims Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Taseko Mines Ltd. said it is disappointed its latest submission to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has not been made public on the agency’s website.

“CEAA wrote and asked us to provide specific information with respect to our assertions the panel relied on the wrong modelling to assess the environmental impacts of the New Prosperity Mine,” explained Brian Battison, Taseko’s vice-president of corporate affairs.

“They put the request on the CEAA website, but have not posted our response.”

Taseko provided the information as requested promptly by Nov. 15, and when they asked CEAA if it was going to be posted on the website, they were told no, Battison said.

In an e-mailed response, CEAA said after Taseko made assertions regarding the New Prosperity Review

Panel report in a letter to the Minister of the Environment dated Nov. 4 and in a press release of Nov. 5., the agency wrote to Taseko seeking explicit clarification for the basis of its assertions, based on testimony or documents that were before the panel in the review process.

“No new information was requested from Taseko,” Lucille Jamault, CEAA manager of communications said.

On Nov. 15, the agency received information from Taseko in response to the request for clarification and the information is being currently reviewed by officials, Jamault added.

“The agency does not intend to post the information received from Taseko on the agency’s public registry nor comment on its content while the review of the information is underway. The outcome of the review will inform the next steps in the environmental as-

sessment.”

In an executive summary of the report, the panel said it concluded the New Prosperity Project would result in several significant adverse environmental effects; the key ones being effects on water quality in Fish Lake (Teztan Biny), on fish and fish habitat in Fish Lake, on current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by certain Aboriginal groups, and on their cultural heritage.

Battison, however, said the plan to save Fish Lake is solid.

“It was developed by internationally-renowned experts in the field who have been operating mines in Canada, including Mount Polley and Mount Milligan,” he said.

“That design at Mount Milligan won an award of merit from the consulting engineers of B.C. and is held up by the province of British Columbia as best practices.”

“The design has been proven in the field and

that’s why it was so stunning the panel’s findings were what they were,” Battison said.

Under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012, the process that occurs from the release of a panel report up to the issuance of a decision statement by the federal Minister of the Environment, is set out in sections 52 to 54 of the CEAA 2012, Jamault explained.

The agency is reviewing the panel report that was released on Oct. 31 and will not comment on the panel report at this time.

The minister will make a decision about the project in accordance with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 (CEAA 2012).

Should the minister decide the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, the federal cabinet would make a decision on whether or not the significant effects would be justified in the cir-

Meanwhile, Taseko is carrying on with business.

Last week, the company announced it has agreed to purchase 11,666,667 common shares of Curis Resources Ltd. at a price of $0.60 per share.

Curis is a publicly traded company with a 100 per cent interest in the Florence Copper Project in Arizona.

Dickson receives top provincial honours Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A well-known Williams Lake resident has received high honours from B.C.’s Attorney General.

Safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson was presented with the 2013 Emergency Social Services Volunteer of the Year by Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton last week.

Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment says the award is another significant accomplishment for Dickson.

“His work ethic and commitment to the community is second to none,” Brown said Tuesday.

“He truly makes our community and our organization a better place.”

Speaking at the presentation in Victoria, Carol McClintock, Emergency Management BC’s Acting

Executive Director of Mitigation, said Dickson first volunteered with Emergency Social Services in Williams Lake in 2002.

“Dave quickly became a valued member of the team, playing an instrumental role in rebuilding it into a strong presence in the Cariboo Region,” McClintock said.

“Dave’s skills were put to the test in the summer of 2004 when he took on the role of Reception Centre Manager during the Lonesome Lake fire evacuations.

“Having spent a career with the RCMP, he easily demonstrated the strong leadership and interpersonal skills required of the function.”

Fellow volunteers are quick to point out Dickson’s attributes including his availability to volunteer despite full time work commitments.

Although he was required to travel

extensively throughout the province and work very long hours, he was always only a phone call away and it was not uncommon for him to drive 11 hours to return home to fulfill his volunteer ESS role — and he would often choose the least desirable shift so that others could get the rest they needed.

Dickson joined the North Mobile Support Team in 2005, eventually becoming its director in 2007.

As Mobile Support Team director, he led a response to the Tumbler Ridge interface fire evacuation to Chetwynd where he was instrumental in ensuring the evacuees’ needs were met.

“Dave’s work in

support of his community extends beyond his commitment to Emergency Social Services,” McClintock said.

He has volunteered with Canadian Red Cross, served as chair and co-chair of Williams Lake Community Policing for 13 years, is past president of Williams Lake Rotary and spent time

as the Transportation Committee Chair for

the 2001-2002 Winter Games.

United Way offers a look at local programs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Locals hopped on a Gibraltar Mine bus earlier this month and toured some of the non-profit organizations that benefit from the Williams Lake Community Fund.

Melissa Newberry, United Way Community Associate for the Cariboo, organized the “Seeing is Believing” tours to offer donors, volunteers and community members an opportunity to see first-hand where United Way’s money goes to work in the community.

“Participants are able to visit community agencies and hear directly from agency staff and clients about the difference United Way and community partners can make in the lives of individuals in our community,” Newberry said.

On Nov. 14, during a tour of the Boys and Girls Club, executive director Matt Neufeld showed about a dozen people the centre.

Cariboo Festival syllabus is ready Photo submitted

Sharon Hoffman (right), Vocal and Choral director for the Cariboo Festival, is going over changes to the Syllabus with Angela Rankin, owner of the Open Book. The Cariboo Festival Committee would like to announce the Syllabus for the 2014 Festival is now available at the Open Book. The committee has hired adjudicators and is pleased to announce that Susan Bertoia is coming from Vancouver for Speech Arts and Drama, Erica Northcott from the Lower Mainland for Vocal and Choral, Yvette Rowledge from the Lower Mainland for Piano and Verena Berger from Williams Lake for Creative Writing. The Band and Instrumental adjudicator is too be announced later. The festival entry deadline is Feb. 11, 2014.

Black Friday a chance to win big Black Friday in Williams Lake was a great event last year but if you thought that was fun just wait until you see what is in store for this year, says BIA executive director Judy Albin.

“A real plus for this year is that shoppers won’t have to stay up and shop late to get a deal, but some stores will be open if that’s what they want,” Albin says.

“Shoppers won’t have to shop earlier either, but some stores will be open early to make it worth their while.

“Last year we got together with Boitanio Mall and Canadian Tire and really looked at the Moonlight Magic event and decided

it was getting old and tired and so we started looking at how we could spice it up,” Albin says.

“We looked at what was popular and working elsewhere and really what could be bigger and more exciting than Black Friday — to be the biggest sale day in the U.S. means something is working.

“It must have been good — this year there are ads for Black Friday all across Canada,” Albin laughs.

The great thing about downtown is that all of the stores are individual so they can make their own decisions and decide for themselves what the deals are going to be.

They know their customers best, she said.

We help by promoting the day and coordinating things like the draw, which anyone can enter at participating stores throughout the day on Black Friday.

This year the draw is for a three-foot white Christmas tree beautifully decorated with the added bonus of over $1,500 in gift certificates redeemable in downtown stores.

“There are gift certificates from Starbucks, Save On, Lush Beauty Boutique, Laketown Furnishings, Taylor Made, the Sandman has put a King Size Suite — great for a night away from the kids, or for that unexpected company, and for the budding artist there is up to three

hours of one-on-one in an art class with our own provincially recognized artist Dwayne Davis,” Albin says.

“If that wasn’t enough there is also $300 in gift certificates from the BIA which are redeemable, just like a cheque, at any store in the downtown and there is still more.

It is going to be a fantastic prize for one lucky winner.

“To win you must be present at the draw which will be held at 9 p.m. sharp at Lake City Glass (across from the Elks Hall) on Black Friday.”

There will be hot chocolate and cookies.

The draw is an added bonus to encourage shoppers to come downtown and spend time, Albin says.

“Check out the local shops and if you haven’t been around for a while, you will be surprised at all there is to offer.

“We hear a lot from people saying they are picking up all of their Christmas shopping in town this year and they are loving it and we love to hear it. We are working together to make it worth their while.”

Student travel adventures open to friends and family Sharon Smith Special to Tribune/Advisor Over the past decade I have led numerous trips abroad with students and their families.

Most of the trips have been to European countries but we have also traveled to China, Japan and Costa Rica.

In my experience as a teacher, I’ve found that the benefits of travel for students are extensive.

Not only do they experience new places and cultures, but they also gain confidence in themselves and a new perspective on the world.

Learning how to navigate the underground in London, order a meal at a Parisian Restaurant, make sushi in Kyoto, walk

along the Great Wall of China, or hike in the Rain Forests of Costa Rica are life changing experiences.

Many students who have traveled with me have gone on to travel extensively on their own and some have even lived in other countries.

They have caught the “Travel Bug!” I chose to travel with EF Tours (Education First Tours) because they have been in business for over 40 years, have offices around the world, and safety of the students in most important to them.

They provide a full time tour director who is with us the entire tour and makes sure everything runs smoothly.

EF is the largest student travel company

in the world and they provide exceptional tours at great prices!

Last year I took students to Italy and Greece during spring break.

We traveled with students from other parts of Western Canada and made many new friends. Seeing so many ancient ruins and sights made the past come to life and learning about history became fun!

Imagine walking through the Roman Forum to the Colosseum or taking a cruise to the Greek Islands and stopping in to spend a day in Turkey! It was a fantastic experience!

In March of 2014 I will be taking a group to Costa Rica to experience this tropical paradise.

We will be hiking in the rain forests, bathing in hot springs warmed by a volcano, zip lining through the trees, kayaking in the lakes and seeing many different wildlife including monkeys, sloths and crocodiles.

In July of 2014, Julia Jack, a teacher at the Carson Campus will be taking a group to explore London, Paris, Venice and Rome!

This will be an amazing trip seeing some of the highlights of Europe — a trip of a lifetime!

In March of 2015, Julia and I are planning a trip to Ireland and Scotland. This will be a fantastic trip where we will tour castles, look for the Loch Ness Monster and experience the culture of the Irish and Scottish

people.

If you are interested in any of the tours listed above please contact Julia or myself - start traveling the world!

We take students, teachers and their family and friends on these amazing, educational trips!

The deadline for signing up for the Costa Rica trip is Dec 6 but could be extended.

The deadline to sign up for the July trip to Europe is the end of March 2014.

People interested in joining the tours are asked to contact Sharon Smith 250-3988298 or Julia Jack at Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus.

Museum society elects new president Diana French Special to Tribune/Advisor Ruth Walters is the new president of the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Ruth joined the Williams Lake Museum and Historical Society in 2011 and served as vice-president last year.

She was acclaimed as president at the society’s annual general meeting Nov. 4, replacing Sheila Wyse who stepped down.

Walters took over as president at a busy time for the museum, just before the ninth annual Cowboy Christmas Trade Show and Concert on Saturday, Nov. 16.

Walters spent 16 hours at the Gibraltar Room, helping set up, clean up, and man tables in between.

What’s more, she still had her sense of humour at the end of the day.

The annual Christmas Bake Sale and Tea is coming up on Dec. 7.

Next year is a big one for the museum as Williams Lake celebrates its 85th birthday.

Ruth was born and raised in Williams Lake, arriving at the “old” hospital (where city hall now stands) shortly after her parents arrived in the Cariboo from Manitoba in 1956.

She is the seventh of the 10 Walters children.

Her father William, was one of the many First Nation veterans who lost their status when they enlisted in the Second World War. He was a millwright and worked in forest industry as well as doing some prospecting.

During her early years the family lived at 150 Mile House and Ruth attended school

there until Grade 4.

One of her proudest accomplishments as a youngster was winning the cup at a school sports day.

When the family moved to Glendale Ruth attended the Glendale Elementary School with the legendary Hazel Huckvale as principal.

She has happy memories of growing up in Williams Lake, she says she was a bit of a tomboy and there was lots of space for kids to be kids.

She went to Williams Lake Junior Secondary and Columneetza Secondary School where she was an original member of the High School Rodeo Club.

Ruth started her working career at the tender age of 13 at the Bil Nor Cafe (now CJs).

She worked for a time at Lignum’s Mill, but mostly was a waitress and bartender at the Cook Shack, Francie’s Supper Club, and the Lakeview Hotel.

She spent some time in Vancouver at an orthopaedic shop.

The owner was Slovenian. Ruth says he taught her to do orthopaedics and she taught him to speak English.

She was an extra in a couple of movies, including 27 Jump St. Back in the Cariboo, Ruth and her partner Trevor Marshall ranched at Alexis Creek for a time, raising horses and Pinzgauk cattle before moving to Williams Lake.

Ruth likes to garden, and she likes to preserve what she grows.

She is an excellent cook and enjoys doing that too.

She has always had an interest in history,

especially local history, collecting stories and books.

In preparation for the job as president she has been taking the Management for Non-Profits course through Thompson Rivers University’s Continuing Education.

The 13 week program (three hours a week plus tons of homework) is

taught by Graham Kelsey.

She has plans for the coming year.

In the sort term, she wants to work with the board of directors to update the museum’s policies and practices.

She hopes to encourage volunteers to become involved in activities., and she would like to see the museum have a higher

sale available as well as memberships for just $5 or the whole year.

Of course tours of the museum displays are always available and enjoyable for visitors. Displays are changed periodically.

Women’s conference planned The Women’s Spirituality Circle is hosting an evening of brainstorming and conversation on Dec. 5 to begin the planning process for a Women’s Spirituality Conference planned for March 2014.

“Williams Lake is filled with women who are deeply connected to the Spirit in very different ways,” says Margaret-Anne Enders, one of the event organizers who invites interested women to come to the meeting and share their ideas about what activities they might like to see at the conference.

She says the organizers, which include CMHA Multiculturalism Program, Im-

FREE ION DMISS

A

migrant and Multicultural Services Society, Women’s Contact Society, St. Peter’s Anglican Church, and Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre, are hoping that the Women’s Spirituality conference will be a starting point for monthly activities women can share together to explore various religions and spiritual practices.

For instance, one month they might visit a Sikh Temple, another they may participate in a traditional First Nations sweat, the next a yoga session, or the next month perhaps visit a Buddhist site.

Another month she says they might just have a fireside discussion on life, or other

topics such as encorporating loving kindness into our everyday lives.

“We want this circle to be open to all women: women who have strong roots in organized faith communities as well as women who would describe themselves as spiritual, but not religious. There may be women who don’t feel connected spiritually at all, but who may like to participate in such exploration,” Enders says. “What would you like to learn about?”

The planning evening takes place Thursday, Dec. 5 in the CMHA board room at 51 South Fourth Avenue from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Supper will be provided.

From the film: North of the Sun

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is coming to Williams Lake next Tuesday, Dec. 3, in the Gibraltar Room. Above, from the film North of the Sun, one of two Norwegian adventurers spends his winters surfing and skiing on a remote, arctic island.

Banff Mountain Film Festival screens Dec. 3 The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is coming back to Williams Lake next week.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival, a program of The Banff Centre, is the largest, and one of the most prestigious, mountain festivals in the world.

Hot on the heels of the festival held every fall in Banff, Alta., the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour hits the road.

With stops planned in about 400 communities and 40 countries across the globe this year’s tour features a collection of the most inspiring action, environmental, and adventure films from the festival.

Travelling to exotic landscapes

and remote cultures, and bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports, the 2013/14 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the mountain world.

From approximately 350 films entered into the annual festival, award-winning films and audience favourites are among the films chosen to travel the globe.

Join the City of Williams Lake when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings the spirit of outdoor adventure to Williams Lake at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, in the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

The city will feature films such as: North of the Sun — Filmmakers — Inge Wegge and Anne Bergseng Tucked between the cold Atlantic Ocean and the rocky slopes of a remote, arctic island, two young Norwegian adventurers discover their own private playground.

They build themselves a cabin out of flotsam while clearing the beach of debris, then spend the long winter skiing and surfing in the haunting low light.

Keeper of the Mountains — Filmmakers — Allison Otto, Scott McElroy Elizabeth Hawley bucked the conventions of her time by settling

alone in Kathmadu in 1960, where she began chronicling Himalayan expeditions for The Himalayan Database. Even as she turns 90, she continues to update these records with rigorous accuracy and dedication.

For tickets and information contact the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex at 250-3987665 or Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed at 250-398-7873.

Advance tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. At the door tickets are $19 for adults and $14 for seniors and students.

Sutton added last year’s group of Jackrabbits was one of the largest the WLCCSC has had in recent

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer In one of its earliest starts in years, the Williams Lake CrossCountry Ski Club’s Jackrabbits program will begin Sunday, Dec. 15.

From ages four through 12 children will learn to crosscountry ski under the instruction of six local instructors, including youth development co-ordinator and head coach Rob Sutton.

Sutton said the Jackrabbits program,

years.

“Last year we had 35 Jackrabbits,” he said. “The year before that we had 24, so it [registration] seems to be going up. Once we figure out what different levels [of skiers] we have we split them up into four groups based on that, not necessarily by age.”

The Jackrabbits and the WLCCSC also have a couple of potential out-of-town events they hope to attend this year.

One of the highlights 3 5/16 of x 5the season for

last year’s skiers was the Quesnel Hallis Elementary Ski Tournament, where close to 70 young skiers ages five to 11 competed.

Williams Lake, with 15 skiers, brought home the best out-oftown team trophy.

The Williams Lake Peewee Timberwolves were victorious at their home tournament this past weekend, beating the Prince George Peewee Cougars, 4-2, in the final.

Peewee Timberwolves go unbeaten Win 4-2 in final at home tournament Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Peewee Timberwolves battled through a slew of early penalty trouble at its home tournament Sunday to stun the Prince George Peewee Cougars in the final, 4-2.

Trailing for more than half the contest after Prince George’s Jovhan Janjua lit the lamp on Williams Lake goaltender Devin Chapman near the 10-minute mark of the first period, Williams Lake answered back after amassing 14 minutes of penalties in the first period alone.

T-wolves assistant captain Brendan Pigeon opened the flood gates and evened up the score for Williams Lake at 10:46 of the second frame, before Tyson Conroy found the twine to put his squad up by one.

Prince George, however, wasn’t finished yet as Brennan Bott, with 14:42 remaining in the third period, tied it up once more.

With time winding down Williams Lake’s Jacob Jackson pounced on a puck in front of the Prince George goalkeeper during a goalmouth scramble to notch what would hold up as the game winner.

Things were not going our way for the first half of the game, but the boys stuck with it.”

- Owen Thomas Assisting on the winning goal were Cade Enns and Jaxon Passeri.

Pigeon added his second marker late in the period to ice the contest for Williams Lake.

“That we were able to battle back was awesome,” said Timberwolves head coach Owen Thomas. “Things

were not going our way for the first half of the game, but the boys stuck with it.

“We were able to get the big goal and the big save [when we needed it] and overall we played very well all weekend.”

Stamps back in first place Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders are back in the driver’s seat of the Central Interior Hockey League East Division following a pair of weekend road wins.

The Stampeders travelled south for games Saturday and Sunday against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks, winning both and improving their record to 8-2-1 on the campaign.

The wins leave the Stampeders with one game in hand and one point ahead of the second-place Quesnel Kangaroos, with 17 points — also good enough for first place in the league with seven games still remaining in the 18-game regular season.

Saturday, the Stampeders held off a Tomahawks squad who seemed to have found its legs in the third period, to win 6-4.

Williams Lake, with two goals from Matt Lees in the first two periods, and lone markers from David Gore and Stuart Sasges, carried a 4-1 lead into the final frame.

There, Donovan Nicholas, with two, and Ty Moses, cut the Williams Lake lead to just a goal with time winding down.

Lees would later pot his third of the night to restore Williams Lake’s two-goal lead and the win.

Justin Foote was awarded the win in goal for the Stampeders after a less-thanbusy night, stopping

17 of 21 shots. On the other end Tomahawks’ netminder Matt Brenner was busy, facing a 50-shot barrage in the contest.

On Sunday in game two of the doubleheader Williams Lake exploded for 15 goals, with league-leading scorer Nathan Zurak (11-22-33) recording 10 points (five goals and five assists), to win 15-4.

Also scoring for Williams Lake Sunday were Andrew Fisher (1-2-3), Aaron Zurak (1-4-5), Lees (3-4-7), Gore (2-3-5), Sasges (1-3-4), Dan Cohen (1-1-2) and Jassi Sangha (1-3-4).

Providing the Tomahawks’ offence were Anthony Sellars (1-01), Robin Gilbert (10-1), Wilfred Robbins (1-1-2) and Grant

Serving you since 1985

Johnson (1-0-1).

Williams Lake is now preparing for its longest homestand of the season — four games — beginning this Saturday, Nov. 30, when the West Division-leading Kitimat Ice Demons roll into town.

So far the Ice Demons have put together six wins, four losses and one overtime loss — the most recent a 5-2 loss to the Smithers Steelheads on Sunday.

Williams Lake, meanwhile, is on a five-game winning streak.

Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Following Saturday’s tilt Williams Lake hosts the Houston Luckies on Dec. 7.

We allow you to focus on what you do best.

Arts Culture Entertainment

Santa Claus is coming to town Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer The Winter Lights Festival and Santa Claus Parade will be bigger than ever this year.

Organizers are pulling out “all” the stops to provide a full day of fun this Saturday that will roll over into the evening.

The Studio Theatre is coming on board with two improv/musical shows at the Limelight Theatre, one in the afternoon, and one in the early evening.

Saturday morning the Santa Claus Parade will muster in the parking lot behind the Cariboo Memorial Complex and begin travelling at 11:30 a.m. down Seventh Avenue and then along Oliver Street to Spirit Square.

The parade will be bigger than ever with the addition of several floats, the Lake City Secondary School band, service clubs, a school group, Scouts, Guides and the people of the day, Mr. and Mrs. Claus riding in a horse-drawn wagon accompanied by several of their helpers, and favourite reindeer.

“It’s never too late to join the fun,” says BIA executive director Judy Albin. “Let us know if you would like to be in the parade.”

From noon when the parade arrives in Spirit Square, there will be all kinds of music and entertainment for kids and adults continuing on until about 4:30

Gaeil Farrar file photo

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be arriving in the lakecity Saturday by horse drawn wagon in the Santa Parade as they did last year. p.m. when Santa will flip the switch to light up the community for the holiday season.

Santa will be in Spirit Square all afternoon where children, and kids at heart, can give them their wish list for Christmas.

There won’t be an official photographer this year but people are invited to bring along their own cameras to take pictures.

“Everyone who visits Santa goes away with a candy cane,” says Laura Bardell, one of the event co-organizers.

“Were trying to make it bigger and better and even more fun.”

There will be games for kids, such as the beanbag toss, under

the big top tent with about 100 prizes to give away, as well as musical entertainment all afternoon.

There will be hot chocolate, apple cider, and popcorn available for free or if people wish they can also make a donation which will help out families in need this Christmas through the Child Development Centre and Salvation Army food bank.

Oliver Street between First and Second avenues will be closed to vehicle traffic during the festivities except for the popular horse-drawn wagon rides that will once again circle the block.

Entertainers will include Oren Barter,

Rosetta Paxton and friends, the Williams Lake Seniors’ Choir, Williams Lake Men’s Choir and the Williams Lake Community Band.

Chilcotin Road Elementary School students will also be returning with a new flashmob dance.

Instead of doing their dance during the parade as they did last year the students will be performing on the Spirit Square stage.

There are usually also a few holiday characters dancing about to lend a little more levity to the occasion including Santa’s favourite reindeer Rudolph.

There will also be several food vendors

on site where people can buy lunch and some craft and artisan vendors, Bardell says.

The Studio Theatre will be hosting two improv shows in the Limelight Theatre.

The first show is at 3 p.m. The interactive show will be about an hour then the music and merriment returns to Spirit Square where Santa will light up the community Christmas tree for the holiday season.

The Studio Theatre will host a second improv show with musical guests starting at 6 p.m. in the Limelight Theatre.

The second show starts at 6 p.m. and will be by donation of a non-perishable food item for the food bank.

There will be a special performance at the 6 p.m. show by the Lake City Secondary School Band.

Bardell says the event will be bigger this year because Hub Barton International Insurance has joined up with the BIA to host the event instead of hosting a separate Barton Family Christmas event as they have done in previous years.

She says they have also had a lot of support from local businesses in providing prizes for children and other needed items such as plywood flooring, and heaters for the tents.

“A lot of businesses have helped out,” says an appreciative Bardell.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride.

Zack Spencer

Visit the Audi A3 photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature.

Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here.

Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers.

Looks The A3 is built off a shared platform with VW called MQB. This platform was a significant investment for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger and stronger than the last Golf platform and provides a sturdy basis for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg lighter than the outgoing European model, yet the wheelbase is longer and the interior room and trunk more ample. It could be argued that Audi is building some of the most attractive cars these days and these smaller products still convey the same sense of power and solidity that the bigger products portray. The S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm lower stance than the A3 sedan. The air intakes are bigger with more detail; the side mirrors are highlighted with brushed aluminum; and the rear of the car looks more masculine thanks to chunky exhaust tips. The

Hitch up those snowplows the white stuff is flying

By Ian Harwood

I know I wrote about winter driving last week and the snow and rain began to fall in various parts of the province but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather.

I’m here to help and at the risk of bringing on a blizzard, I thought I would share some information on snow plows.

For most people who are just using a plow for clearing their own driveway, a straight-blade will more than likely be just fine.

Snowsport offers a personal plow that is perfect for the homeowner.

This system attaches to a front mounted receiver just as a boat trailer would.

The U shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in the terrain your plowing.

Because there are no hydraulics involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back skimming over the surface.

When driving forward the blade automatically re-engages for plowing.

When you are finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position.

The cost of this option is $1,644.

K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage.

Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just

like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock.

The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade.

The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths.

Cost is $1,315.

If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position.

Multi-position plows are up to 50 percent faster due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions.

This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do.

When it comes to the

composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular.

The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel and maybe stronger.

They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle.

The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust.

Attaching and detaching the plow is very important as well.

You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use.

Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge.

These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long.

Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the

controls are simple and easy to use.

Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck.

Remember “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Cost for these units are $6,000 to $8,000 depending on the model.

When it comes to the warranty, be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers.

Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labor. Warranties are usually either one year or two years; so pay attention to the warranty.

Take all of these things into consideration when shopping for a snowplow and you will be able to choose the right one to suit your needs. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

Why women can negotiate a better car deal

By Alexandra Straub

For many people, buying a car is a stressful process.

Something worse than going to the dentist or for women, a Brazilian waxing. Ouch.

It can be a lengthy one too.

Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership.

In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand.

They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one you’re reading now) and ask other car owner’s opinions.

When they get to the dealer-

’’

ship, that’s when it becomes real.

You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it.

When you find “the one” then comes the time to sign on the dotted line.

But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given.

For women, this can be an even more intimidating process.

Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome.

But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www.unhaggle. com), which helps Canadian car buyers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car

buying.

Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.”

His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more.

With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult or as time-consuming as it has been in the past.

Sites dedicated to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers

Driving to cut Big Oil profits

and more.

He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information and then contemplating it.

They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right then and there.

“Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating.

“While the man says, ‘Take

it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and willing to compromise— thus making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.”

He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regards.

Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but

it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.”

Statistics show that more women are making car purchases than ever before.

Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want.

HOLIDAY SPECIALS

By Keith Morgan

They should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser.

The car is here for market testing right now but surely, it will see production next year and arrive in dealerships later in the year. And when it does sell your shares in Big Oil. It only sips gas by the spoonful; how else do you account for an easily achievable 4.1 L/100km combined city/highway fuel economy rating?

Drive gently around town and you can purr along in all-electric mode for between 20 and 28 kms depending on road conditions.

You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without any other traffic and green lights all the way.

However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20-plus all-electric ride during a 100 km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/ gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km.

In truth, it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number but it is useful when comparing with other similarly equipped cars.

But when you look at that number and the low gas/ hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head

CANADIAN, Coors Lite & Budweiser CANADIAN 6 Packs $ 95each

2013 Honda Accord. that plug-in hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana.

The car is powered by Honda’s first two-motor hybrid system, and uses a new, delightfully named, Earth Dreams 2.0 litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine producing 137 horsepower, teamed with a powerful 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor.

Electric driving is supported by a 6.7 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, and total system output is 196 horsepower.

If your eyes glazed over at the obligatory statement of power unit specifications,

join the club! Fuel economy interests me more.

Like every other car with green aspirations that I have driven, it coaxed me into a little competition with myself every time out to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. It’s fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well, the regenerative braking keeps topping up the battery.

As the speedo creeps up the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode it operates as a conventional hybrid.

I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump.

The plug in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat.

I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Chevy Camaro is a New World collaboration

By Bob McHugh

Chevrolet Camaro 2010 to 2012 The 2010 model year Chevrolet Camaro was designed in the USA, engineered in Australia and built in Canada.

In addition to a very attractive return-to-roots styling exercise, this Camaro boasts a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, two powerful engine choices and lots more.

Initially, the new Camaro came in LS, LT and SS trim levels. The base engine is a Cadillac sourced direct-injection 3.6-litre V6.

It can generate 304 horsepower and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic.

A more potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of the SS. When paired with a sixspeed manual it can pump out 425 horsepower.

A 400 horsepower edition of this engine, with a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system, came paired to the optional six-speed automatic transmission.

Chevrolet claimed the Camaro V6 can reach 100 km/hour in just 6.1 seconds and SS can do it in a tire blistering 4.7 seconds, which is super-car

territory.

Fuel consumption is also less (or better) than you might expect and both engines can run on regular gasoline.

The Camaro V6 (auto) is rated at 11.4 L/100km in city and 6.7 L/100km on highway.

And the SS (auto) is rated at 13.2 L/100km in city and 7.9 L/100km on highway.

Compared to the original ‘67 this Camaro is longer, wider and taller.

Bigger wheels, which came in 18-inch to 21inch rim sizes, accounted for much of the height increase.

Regardless of the rim size originally ordered, the overall height and tire-tobody gap remained the same, so that it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the car.

A major difference be-

tween Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its rival, the Ford Mustang is the rear axle and suspension setup.

Mustang has a rigid rear axle and the Camaro uses a more sophisticated independent link system with coil springs attached to an isolated sub-frame.

It should result in a better riding and handling car, but that debate rolls on.

A driving drawback that’s common to many sports cars is rear visibility and small side mirrors don’t help matters.

The Camaro’s trunk is also on the small side but all is forgiven when you step on the gas pedal and hit the road.

A Camaro Convertible was introduced for the 2011 model year. Other significant changes included an eight-horsepower output increase for the base 3.6-litre V6 and a “Head-Up” dash display was offered (on 2LT and SS trim levels).

The base engine was also upgraded to a new “LFX” 3.6-litre, V6.

Although its displacement is the same as the original, this new engine is lighter and more powerful.

A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. This car has a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that

Famous fake cars in movies and TV

By Rob Sass

Hollywood loves to incorporate hot classic cars into movies and television shows. Producers and insurers are also notoriously risk-averse, preferring to use replicas rather than the hyper-valuable real deal whenever possible.

Here are some of our favorite big- and smallscreen fakes: “Nash Bridges,” 1971 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda: The San Francisco cop show revived Don Johnson’s career, pairing him with Cheech Marin (half of the stoner comedy team of Cheech and Chong). The yellow car that appeared to be an ultra-rare Hemi ‘Cuda convertible was actually what is known

‘‘

The Ferris Bueller Ferrari is probably the best-known big screen fake.

Rob Sass

’’

as a “clone” or a car that started out as a lesser model but was restored to appear as a top shelf ‘Cuda. The difference in price is staggering — around 50 grand for the fake, more than $1 million for the real deal.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” 1960 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder: The

Ferris Bueller Ferrari is probably the best-known big screen fake. From a distance, it appears reasonably accurate, but Ferrari aficionados can spot the differences in their sleep, from the Triumph-sourced gauges to the MGB taillights. And don’t get them talking about the bogus Italian Borrani wire wheels. A real California Spyder is a $12 million car today.

“Miami Vice,” 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona: Don Johnson appears to be a bit of a magnet for fake cars. His black Daytona Spyder was actually a fake built on a Corvette chassis, and few Ferrari fans shed tears when the car was blown up in sight of Johnson’s character, Sonny

Crockett, and his pet alligator, Elvis. Afterward, Crockett took to driving a white Ferrari Testarossa — a real one this time.

“Top Gun,” 1958 Porsche Speedster: Kelly McGillis’ character drove this one around San Diego in the classic ’80s movie.

Porsche Speedsters are among the most replicated cars ever — most are convincing fiberglass bodies slapped on top of a VW Beetle platform. The replica featured in “Top Gun” appears to have been one of the good ones, built by longtime Speedster replica-maker Intermeccanica.

They’re still in business in British Columbia, Canada, turning out extremely high-quality vintage

Porsche replicas.

“Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” 1935 Auburn 851 Boattail Speedster: Indy’s sidekick Short Round still holds the record for the best automotive chase involving a pre-teen driver. With blocks tied to the pedals, Short Round takes Jones and a lounge singer on a wild ride through pre-war Shanghai.

The car was, of course, a complete fake, and not a particularly convincing one at that.

Christmas House lights up Friday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Ken and Julia Berry’s Christmas House on the Country Club Boulevard is changing up in style and donation destination this year.

With the closing of the 139 Children’s Fundraising Society earlier this year Ken says funds raised by their popular themed Christmas House will be donated to the Central Cariboo Child Development Centre.

He says CDC president Jerry Tickner has assured him that every dollar donated will continue to go to kids, “so that’s a good thing.”

Ken and his wife Julia have been decorating their home at 142 Country Club Blvd. for 26 years, the past 15 as a charitable fundraiser for the 139 Children’s Fundraising Society. For many years the society has been dedicated to helping with the cost of medical travel for families with sick children. But with health problems of their own to deal with, the society managers Greg and Donna Ashley have not been able to continue the work and no one has come forward to take over the society.

Ken and Julia started the penguin theme Christmas decorations with their son Geoff and daughter Kate back in 1999 and the displays have grown steadily more elaborate every year to include penguins sledding, a hockey rink, Santa’s tree house, Santa’s workshop, Penguin Express Train, and more.

Julia was quality control, Geoff helped with the building, and Kate kept the displays looking great, Ken says.

“There are now three generations working on the lights and figure,” Ken says.

When their grandchildren come for Christmas he says they help to assemble the reindeer who pull Santa’s sleigh in the front yard.

Other the past few years, Ken says he has just been working on repairing and repainting the existing figures, but this year he is introducing three new groups of characters.

The new scenes this year will include eight penguins singing and playing in the Sgt. Penguins Lively Yuletide Band.

The figures are based on the Beatles Sgt. Pepper album and come complete with the Sgt. Pepper uniforms and drum.

There is also a quartet of singing penguins which he is calling Little Anthony and the Imperials.

There are also three little pray-

Julia has also been busy repairing the Gingerbread House with the addition of new candies and candy canes.

Julia, who is a Brownie leader, also made a special request to have a little Brownie Penguin complete with badge and sash included in the scenes.

Ken and Julia estimate it takes 150 hours to put up all the lights and scenes for the display spread over two-and-a-half months leading up to Christmas.

“As soon as golfing is over the preparation begins,” Ken says.

In their first year of raising funds for charity back in 1999 the Berry’s Christmas House raised

Julia Berry with her newly minted Brownie penguin in keeping with her new role as a Brownie leader. $800. Their goal that year was to raise just $100. Encouraged by that success they continued the tradition and have now raised close to $18,000 over the years.

Ken’s goal if to bring the total to $20,000 over the next couple of years.

For the past four years, Ken has also had help with fundraising in the off-season from his golfing friends who bring him their found golf balls to sell for the cause. People can pick up some “experienced golf balls” with a donation of 50 cents per ball at #9 Fairway.

Ken says his neighbours are very understanding and tolerate the line-ups of cars who come to see the displays and some even send out hot chocolate to Ken on the cold snowy days wile he is working.

“Many great things have happened on the sidewalks of the Christmas House, carollers coming singing, wedding proposals are made, and Santa sometimes shows up and people just visit on the sidewalk,” Ken says. “It’s a great tradition to start or maintain and the proceeds all go to a great cause.”

Lights at the Berry’s Christmas House will be turned on this Friday, Nov. 29 and be turned on every night from 5 to 11 p.m. each day until at least Jan. 4.

After Friday, Nov. 29, Ken says new venues will be popping up every other day, even past Christmas Day so regular visits will result in different lighting scenes and colours.

Donations can be placed in the newly re-painted and lighted bird house next to the sidewalk.

The annual Memory Tree Celebration takes place in the Williams Lake City Council Chambers on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 3 to 4 p.m.

Volunteers are at Save On Foods from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Nov. 30, to accept donations for memory tree lights. On Sunday, Dec, 1 starting at 3 p.m. the celebration opens in the city hall lobby with snacks and refreshments, then moves to the council chambers for poems and spiritual readings, choir performances, harp music, candle lighting, reading of the Memory Book, and a moment of silence. The program will include performances by Jean Wellburn on harp, the Williams Lake Men’s Choir, and the Seniors’ Choir. The celebration ends with the lighting of the Memory Tree outside city hall at 4:30 p.m.

Educators’ variety show raises $8,000 for food bank Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer School District 27’s poverty challenge initiated by teachers last year this time continued Saturday night with a very successful variety show and silent auction raising $8,000 for the food bank.

The adult evening held at the Ramada/ Overlander Convention Centre included entertainment by Brent Morton, Samira belly dancers, Dena Baumann, Sage Trampleasure, Carmen Mutschele and Troy Forcier.

“Our event last Saturday was very successful,” says coorganizer and retired

school support worker Grant MacLeod.

“We didn’t sell all of our tickets, but it was never the less, very well attended. The entertainment was great.

Everyone had a good time.

“The event raised approximately $8,000, with the proceeds going to the Salvation Army food bank.”

He says the poverty challenge fundraisers continue this week with the school and district staff being asked to try and live on $26 worth of groceries a week or donating $26 to the food bank.

District staff and students have also been collecting food items this fall and have collected 7,437 food items or 1.3 tons of food to

date.

An emply bowls family fundraiser is also planned for the new year, MacLeod says.

Students at Lake City Secondary are working with their teachers to make pottery bowls that will be sold filled with soup to raise funds for the food bank.

Superintendent Mark Thiessen said the vision for the poverty challenge came from district staff, and the community has “jumped all over it.”

As a school district he said they want to teach kids to be responsible.

“I think this event, with such strong modelling from our staff, sends a strong message

to our kids,” Thiessen added.

“It’s important for kids to get involved with both global and local activism. Poverty isn’t just something in developing countries: we have people in our own community who struggle from day to day to put food on the table and pay rent every month. I think they have neighbours and classmates who live difficult lives.

“Sometimes we see movies and TV and we think that poor people live somewhere else.

We have people here who, through no fault of their own, live in poverty. We don’t want to forget about thinking globally, but if we have a balance between the two, I think we’ve pulled it off.”
