Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Every year in December an average of five people are killed in B.C. from crashes involving impaired driving, ICBC said in a press releaseThursday.

“While attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed considerably over the years, an average of 95 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.” Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said B.C. has come a long way

“Despite the progress, the numbers are far too high, which is why we’re committed to reducing crashes involving alcohol and drugs and will continue to support enhanced enforcement, including the December CounterAttack campaign.”

In Williams Lake two local campaigns hope to keep those statistics at bay.

“To use Operation Red Nose people have to have a car, we’re not in competition with the taxis,” said Safer Communities Coordinator, Dave Dickson. “Otherwise we say please call a taxi and we give them the number.”

Each year local organizations provide drivers to cover the shifts throughout the month.

This year the Blue Fins Swim Club, Williams Lake Gymnastics Club, Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddlers and the Williams Lake Skating Club have stepped up to the plate.

Dickson said volunteers from the Laker’s Car Club, Rotary and community policing will also help out.

“We’re in good shape.”

Bringing HIV/AIDS to the forefront Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

fected significantly

by HIV — gay men, First Nations, sex trade workers — and the heterosexual community, health workers haven’t seen a decrease.

“What we’re looking to do is demonstrate that we can decrease new cases of HIV in all groups.”

An overall implementation plan for all of Interior Health includes programs that will be rolled out in Williams Lake within the next six to 12 months.

“We are already in the process of engaging local health care providers with regards to treatments for persons who are HIV positive so they can have access to treatment,” Corneil said.

“We will also working with both community agencies, local First Nations, and others to bring regular screening into the community and more enhanced efforts to help people with HIV

care.”

In the meantime, everyone is getting specific information through the division of family practice, everyone in the health care community will be provided with some additional education themselves to increase the awareness and knowledge of health care workers and the population.

“As soon as I have a doctor trained up we will be able to bring in some outreach and we may find ourselves partnering with Prince George who is also rolling something similar out,” Corneil said.

“We have yet to discuss any specifics, but we look forward to working with local health care administrators and providers and the communities.”

As a physician, Corneil has been involved with HIV care since 1995 and as a medical administrator in Vancouver he learned and gained experience

We’re Not Just Realtors Selling A Home…

working with health care systems.

“When our office of the medical health officer developed a plan, it was decided by the group they needed a medical health officer with expertise in the area,” Corneil said.

STOP HIV/AIDS program implementation started in three communities earlier this year: Vernon, Merritt, and Trail and will expand to all IH communities over the next 24 months.

Referrals to the team can be made by physicians, community organizations, or through self-referral by calling 1-866-7787736.

On Dec. 1, the world will be celebrating World AIDS Day – a day dedicated to raising awareness about HIV prevention and treatment. This year’s theme is “Getting to zero — zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths.”

CALL THE DREAM TEAM

HIV/AIDS may be out of the minds of most people, but Interior Health said it’s time to bring it back to the forefront.

“It’s the right time because we actually have things we can do and we’re excited about it,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, medical health officer and leading physician for STOP (Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention) HIV/AIDS, a program geared at stopping the transmission of HIV AIDS. In the Thompson Cariboo Shuswap portion of Interior Health there are about 175 HIV positive persons, Corneil said from Kelowna.

“If one went by population I would guess that in the west we would expect anywhere between 25 and 50, if I pulled Kamloops out of the equation.”

It’s important to note those numbers are the people the health system know about, he explained.

There are another 26 per cent who actually don’t know they are infected.

“Those unknown persons are now the largest source for new infections in Canada and in B.C.,” Corneil said.

With STOP HIV AIDS the aim is to turn testing specific populations considered high risk to testing every person on an annual or bi-annual basis.

When every person visits their physician they will be asked if they have had an HIV

test in the last year.

That way health providers can find people who are HIV positive, engage them in the right kind of care to extend their life expectancy, and help prevent transmission from people who are eligible for treatment who might not be accessing it at this point.

“If more people know their HIV status and receive early treatment, the spread of the disease in our communities can be halted,” Corneil said.

Early diagnosis also means better outcomes and advances in treatment. People who are HIV positive are living a much longer and near normal life, an IH press release noted.

“When an infection is identified early it can be managed as a chronic disease,” Corneil said. “Early treatment can prevent the virus from attacking the body and it can also prevent it from spreading to others. It will take about three years to implement the program, but we are on the road to getting it started.”

Overall the numbers are decreasing, but in B.C. the decrease has been mostly with persons with addictions who use intreveneous needles, based on their need and the capacity to support them with treatment, they are brought into care and at the same time their HIV is addressed, Corneil said.

“So we have really seen the number of transmissions from people who potentially might share needles drop.”

Corneil said in other other populations af-

SD27 foots bill for new contract Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The School District 27 trustees have signed a memorandum of agreement with bargaining representatives for the school district’s support staff.

Trustee Will Van Osh announced the memorandum of agreement had been reached during the board’s regular meeting, Tuesday, Nov. 26.

The agreement will amount to almost a half million dollars in additional costs to the local school district

and will not be covered by any additional funding from the Ministry of Education.

The funds are expected to be found within the board’s current operating budget, said Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

During Tuesday’s meeting the trustees agreed to send a letter to the Minister of Education expressing their “displeasure” with a ministry directive that school boards submit a plan on how they will recover the cost of the proposed new agreement with

support staff within their existing budgets.

Thiessen and outgoing Chair Joyce Cooper said that at this time the district can’t release details of the plan to recover the cost of the new contract.

Cooper noted budget discussions for the next fiscal year have not begun yet.

A tentative provincial K-12 support staff Framework Agreement was reached between the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and the IUOE and Canadian Union of Public Em-

ployees in September, but local unions and school boards were left to conclude the bargaining in their respective districts.

The term of the agreement is retroactive to July 1, 2012 and going forward to June 30, 2014 providing a total wage increase of 3.5 per cent.

The proposed agreement provides a one percent wage increase retroactive to July 1, 2013; two percent increase on Feb. 1, 2014 and a half a per cent increase May 1, 2014.

sions and the contract introduces the pay direct card for up-front drug expenses for virtually all locals.

Support staff in SD27 are members of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Loal 959.

Local IUOE representative Alice Tresierra said a general meeting of the membership has been scheduled for Dec. 7 and the memorandum of agreement will be part of the agenda discussion.

A vote on the agreement is expected to follow at some follow.

Board considers place for student trustees Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27 trustees are researching the idea of appointing student trustees for the district.

During their regular meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26 a report on the idea initiated by Trustee Sheila Boehm was forwarded to the educa-

tion committee for further examination and consideration.

According to Boehm’s researche two other B.C. school districts have appointed student trustees and many student trustees have been appointed in Ontario. The student trustees act as liaisons between the board and students at their re-

spective schools.

The Sunshine Coast SD 46, for instance, has established a district student leadership team to act as liaison between the student trustees and the student body.

As non-elected representatives the student trustees are not entitled to vote on the elected boards or sit

But the student trustees can sit in on committee and board meetings to provide student perspective and suggestions on matters before the board.

And while they can’t vote on motions they may be able to make

suggestions for potential motions made by the board.

The student trustees are also not permitted to participate in discussion where there is a conflict of interest or an apparent conflict of interest, such as a parent or sibling having a direct or indirect financial interest in the matter being discussed.

AN APPLE A DAY...

The food we eat has to be broken down into simple substances the body can use. Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars; proteins into amino acids and fat into fatty acids. The fibre in food is difficult to digest so it gets passed through for elimination via the colon. Weightloss secret? Eat less calories than you burn.

One of the problems with drug treatment of malaria is the malaria parasite becomes resistant to the drugs. One group of researchers is using vitamin B-1 (thiamine) which the parasite needs for energy to grow and multiply. The group is using a molecule that looks like thiamine but isn’t.

The mosquito takes this false thiamine into its body but it won’t work for them. It just might work.

A good motivator to get you walking for exercise is to buy a pedometer. Set a beginning goal of 5000 steps per day and gradually work up to 10,000. There’s something about having that little gizmo that keeps people walking.

Just a reminder that when you are treating your children for a cough, codeine-containing products are no longer recommended for children under the age of 12. This Health Canada directive came as a result of some children receiving codeine either via a cough syrup or breast milk.

Codeine is metabolized in the body to morphine and some people are “fast metabolizers” which could cause problems.

If you are looking for cough remedies for your child, you can try some honey first. That often soothes the throat and calms the cough. You can also check with our pharmacists for other suggestions. We are here for you.

Guenther new school board chair Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The School District 27 board of education has elected 108 Mile Trustee Tanya Guenther as its new chair and Williams Lake trustee Doug Neufeld as vice-chair.

The board election of officers was held during the open board meeting Tuesday, Nov. 26 rather than during a closed meeting of the board as has been past practice.

Forest Grove Trustee Will Van Osch stepped down as chair in June, leaving the position to then vice-chair West Chilcotin Trustee Joyce Cooper, who declined a nomination to continue on as chair.

The election for chair came down to a vote between nominees Guenther and Williams Lake Fringe Area Trustee Sheila Boehm.

Williams Lake Trustee Doug Neufeld was elected vice-chair by acclamation, after Boehm declined a nomination for the position.

The other elected positions were also filled by acclamation.

Apple cider spice of life for couple Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Apple juice producers are not allowed to use windfall apples for their juice, said Charlie Brous of raserbench Farm in Soda Creek, northwest of Williams Lake.

So when he and his partner Lynda Archibald discovered the rules were different for making apple cider, they were thrilled.

Speaking at the Medieval Market in Williams Lake last Saturday, where they launched, and sold out in a day, their latest product — Cariboo Apple Cider Vinegar — Brous said they have been making cider vinegar for themselves for years.

“We live north of the townsite at Soda Creek,” Brous said.

“We make and sell non-pasteurized apple juice but can only use apples we pick from trees.”

Cider has a minimum four per cent acetic acid, Brous explained.

It has to be between four and seven per-

Friends have told Brous they drink a tablespoon of apple cider with water every day for health reasons.

Archibald said they use it for salad dressings or quick pickled dishes for dinner.

They have had the farm for 25 years and Archibald said it’s just a little place, but it pro-

duces well.

There are 35 apple trees, although some are young and still babies, she added.

planting new trees,” Archibald said.

Hardy trees in the Cariboo are often early bearing trees, she explained, and the problem is they are often non-keepers.

They ripen earlier, are kind of soft and don’t keep as well.

And good juice apples hang on in the fall because they sweeten on the tree.

“With our climate here you never know what the fall is going to be. In the spring if they flower too early they get frosted and all those problems,” Archibald said.

Two years ago they purchased Honey Crisp trees and a couple other newish varieties and are wondering how they will work out.

When they purchased the farm there were some existing older trees. Archibald grafted some of them and they are still surviving.

Conveniently feeding our addicitions Parliamentary Secretary John Yap announced yesterday he is going with the majority, and endorsing liquor sales in B.C. grocery stores.

Stakeholders have been asking the government for greater accessibility to liquor through the Liquor Policy Review for months now.

Yap said B.C. should still maintain the current cap on the total number of retail outlets in the province and will recommend that liquor be displayed separate from grocery products.

Yap is also recommending that the government give public and private liquor stores time to phase in the proposed changes.

Yap’s final report was delivered Nov. 25 and puts forward more than 70 recommendations on “modernizing B.C.’s liquor laws, focused on enhancing convenience and growing B.C.’s economy, while ensuring public health and safety,” states the

press release.

In our city of high crime rates, will the benefit of convenience outweigh the inherent risk of housing a controlled substance such as alcohol, in a store where children shop?

We already have concerns about the safety of employees and customers at our stores — especially when they’re coming and going.

Selling alcohol may only add to those problems.

We also have concerns about people living in our community who are struggling with addicition now having another outlet to conveniently get their drug of choice.

Alcohol causes a lot of problems in our society. Should we really be promoting it, particularly in front of our children?

Where will our modernization stop — will grocery stores also sell marijuana once it’s legalized?

Putting the wrong people in jail A few years ago I had the great fortune of visiting someone in jail. Fortune? Yes — I was dreadfully glad I wasn’t on the other side of the glass!

It was summertime, but the prisoners were a sickly yellow.

No one in that prison had been outside for six months. The penitentiary was located near a river and there had been too many escapes, so the fresh air privilege was gone.

The inmate and I put our hands up to the glass, pretending we could touch. His hair was unkempt, uncut. We chatted about everything but what was important. We spoke of guards, food, the daily grind, and what to do with his time. Finally, we got to the heart of it — his plans, his

dreams, and how to reach his goals now that he had a record.

It was time to think.

He had made one foolish, impulsive decision, then another and another, until, detained by the quicksand of lawlessness, he

was a criminal. When his errors confronted him, he had responded with lies, evasion, and aggression, and now he was stuck. He admitted it was stupid, admitted he was wrong, admitted he wished he’d never gone that way.

His past behaviour now made his choices for him.

On Sept. 11, 2001, an event occurred that changed our world forever. Since then, we have to virtually undress at airports, officials rifle through laundry in our suitcases, and we waste billions of hours in security lines. All through no choices of our own.

There are multiple ways now that we can be traced — fingerprints, iris-reading technology, passport strips, chip implants, not to mention Big Brother’s in-

terest in social media. Why not track only the guilty? Let’s leave the innocent majority alone.

Someone recently suggested we brand those who are honest — marking all cooperators so they can freely travel. Why not let the minority — those who distinguish themselves with illegal and harmful activity carry the weight of negative identities?

When the burden is borne by the innocent, the guiltless have literally been incarcerated! What would life be like if the upright, honest, and virtuous were truly free?

Employee theft is at an all-time high. Questionable behaviour is found at border crossings, in towels stolen from hotels, and in tax forms that lie. Freedom has

gotten lost. It has been chased away by a plethora of sad, inconsiderate, self-centered or radical choices.

This has not come about quickly. To quote a local, highly-principled member of the RCMP, Mr. Colin Champagne, “Each of us puts a mark on society that helps determine the level of integrity that is tolerated.”

As much as possible, this planet’s remarkable, principled folk need to be offered unhindered passage.

Life should belong to those who play by the rules. It’s just that the straight stretch on the way to town is so tempting ...

Carbon neutral scheme is sinking B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Two days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin.

Assistant Auditor General Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid.

An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded without assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts.

In fact they did proceed without this subsidy. The government continues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them.

The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will continue, Bennett said. Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy minister will evaluate projects and bestow millions taken from college, university and health authority budgets each year.

B.C.’s school districts are still paying $5 million a year to offset such nefarious activities as heating their schools.

But now the money goes into a “Carbon Neutral Capital Pro-

gram,” and districts have to apply to get their money back for emission-reducing projects.

This is going so well, according to Bennett, that post-secondary institutions and health authorities will be converted to a similar program in the years ahead.

How is that school program going? Here are some examples.

The Coast Mountains School District around Terrace paid $66,452 for carbon offsets last year.

It got back most of its three years of offset payments as a grant to complete a boiler upgrade for its Kitimat high school.

Abbotsford and Nanaimo school districts each have to pay about $100,000 a year.

They got money back for

school boiler upgrades as well, although local school officials say that would not likely have been the top priority for spending, if it hadn’t been for the program that forces districts to spend grants immediately on emission reduction.

Surrey school district paid out $585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars.

Leaving aside the distortion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive tax-and-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade?

And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neutral” braintrust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas?

This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals.

Does anyone actually believe that heating hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming?

Presumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that.

And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate.

In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea

implemented in 12 years of B.C. Liberal government.

Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked.

The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation.

The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate.

His name? Bill Bennett.

Santa Claus Parade just around the corner Hats off to School District staff and students and local businesses!

They have collected 2.3 tons of food so far during this year’s Poverty Challenge. That’s over 7,000 food items.

Also, a School District Variety Show and Silent Auction raised approximately $8,000 on Saturday night.

The Challenge was started by Shannon Rerie, and the vision was continued by Grant MacLeod.

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook

The City also participated in the challenge.

This is a great example of how community partnerships and gen-

erosity can raise awareness of a challenging issue and truly make a difference.

Thank you!

The issue of New Prosperity is still before us, and with recent new developments, the pressure is increasing.

That’s why it’s even more important now to ensure everyone has the right information.

Taseko argues a government agency and the review panel did

not use the right information; this week the City corrected information that appeared in an opinion article in the Vancouver Sun. The City’s position has not changed: we support this important project as long as provincial and federal environmental standards are met, and First Nations are adequately consulted.

The final decision rests with the Minister of Environment and the federal government.

A reminder that the Santa Claus Parade starts Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and runs from 7th Avenue along Oliver Street to Old Courthouse Square, where there are goodies and activities for the whole family before Santa lights the big Christmas tree at 4:30 p.m.

Let’s get out, support our local business, volunteer and have fun with our families.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Operation Christmas Child on the road Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As she watched 400 Operation Christmas shoeboxes filled with gifts for poor children around the world depart on a Greyhound bus in Williams Lake, Linda Fornwald said the community response was fabulous.

“We’ve had less and more in other years, but again this year we had a huge response,” Fornwald said from the Cariboo Bethel

Church.

For 12 years she has helped co-ordinate the effort. The shoeboxes are filled with hygiene items, school supplies, clothes, toys and candy.

“I know the child who receives one of the boxes will only receive one once,” Fornwald said. “I have CDs filled with stories of children receiving a box I share with people.”

Greyhound ships the boxes to Calgary free of charge every year.

From there the boxes go by plane, boats, even camels.

This Christmas Canadian boxes will reach children in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Uruguay.

“These boxes go to the poorest of the poor,” Fornwald said.

“Some people used shoelaces for ribbons

REALTOR TIPS THE BENEFITS OF OWNING YOUR HOME VS RENTING How does renting compare to purchasing?

• Renting does not build equity.

• Finding rental property can be difficult in the availability of quality homes good neighborhoods.

• To rent a home the tenant needs ½ month plus full month rent up front – sometimes utilities are included in the payment.

• Often the cost of renting is more than the cost of a mortgage payment!

• To purchase a home most mortgage lenders require a minimum down payment of 5% of the purchase price.

• Property owners of homes located in strata communities and in mobile home trailer parks pay monthly strata or park fees as well as their mortgage payment.

• When purchasing, location is important for your property to grow as an investment.

• Style of home can affect price and long term value • Unusual house styles attract fewer buyers – and may be harder to get financing!

• The most popular house style is the Rancher/ bungalow three bedrooms on the main floor, full basement and garage.

Purple Ribbon Week coming up If you see bunches of people sporting purple hair next week, don’t be surprised, just give them a nod of praise and support.

It’s all part of the community’s annual Purple Ribbon Campaign to end violence against women in our society.

The campaign runs Sunday, Dec. 1 to Tuesday Dec. 10 a time that coincides with the national Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women on Friday, Dec. 6.

The Women’s Contact Society is delivering the Purple Ribbon Campaign in Williams Lake with support from local businesses.

Purple ribbons to wear can be picked up at one of more than 50 business partners displaying campaign poster and information cards, says society executive director Irene Willsie.

Or put a little purple in your hair.

In another year stylist Penny Grimard takes care putting a big streak of purple in Dawn Wall’s hair for Purple Ribbon Week.

Free removable hair extensions are available Wednesday, Dec. 4 to Saturday, Dec. 7 at Intrigue Hair Studio between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. or at Eloquence Spa & Salon between noon and 3 p.m.

Purple hair is also available at Thompson Rivers University on Thursday, Dec. 5 from 12:30 to 4 p.m.

The campaign is held to remember all women who have died violently and the many

Cariboo Realty

thousands who continue to live with abuse; and to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of violence against women.

This is an opportunity for women, as well as men, to remember and acknowledge violence against women and speak out against violence, Willsie says.

The purple ribbon, like the Purple Heart, symbolizes the injury and suffering of victims of violence, in

this case not victims of war or political violence, but of violence against women in our homes, schools, neighbourhoods.

“Interpersonal violence is learned in our homes,” Willsie says.

“We want to promote healthy values: Love and respect.”

Why do we need to speak out?

• Domestic violence hurts our children, women, community and economy.

• The World Health Organization states that 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence during their lifetime.

• Education is the key, not distrust, silence, or denial.

• Domestic violence has long-term community effects; 80 per cent of all violent criminals report a history of experiencing or witnessing violence as a child.

“Don’t be a bystander; wear a purple ribbon and tell everyone why,” Willsie says.

“Say no to violence against women.

The Christmas Sacrifice The lights are going up, the carols are beginning and shopping is underway.

So let’s begin the spiritual discussion of Christmas.

The Easter sacrifice of Jesus’ death on the cross is the most central event in the history of our planet and indeed our universe. The passion of Christ on the cross brings the possibility of reconciliation between every rebellious human being and the allpowerful and unselfish, loving creator God. This divine gift of Jesus laying down his life for a race doomed to eternal destruction cannot be fully understood or its importance ever overestimated.

However, without the Christmas sacrifice the Easter saving sacrifice would not have been possible. This Christmas as you celebrate and review the story of the baby in the manger; consider carefully who is this baby and what does his life, death and resurrection mean to your future.

There is more than enough reasonable evidence that this helpless baby in the manger is our creator. He actually stepped down from the throne of the universe in the most unselfish act ever witnessed throughout this vast inhabited cosmos.

Yes, the Bible gives serious evidence that there are possibly millions if not billions of other inhabited worlds that are I am sure beyond the reach and scope of our amateur space program to explore. Truly, we are not alone in our existence. We are only alone in the fact that we have rebelled against

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON our creator and need redemption and transformation.

Back to the Christmas sacrifice, here we have the amazing story of Immanuel, God becoming one of us.

Sinful, selfish humans tend to think we are the highest form of life because we are separated from the real source of life. This separation is a divine act of mercy because were God to show up in all his glory we would simply be vaporized because selfishness cannot exist in his presence.

We are all contaminated with sin and rebellion. This reveals itself primarily in our natural selfishness. Our selfserving permeates all our lives and society and ultimately ends in our death, which was never a part of God’s original plan.

I know. The thought of our creator becoming one of us seems beyond reality.We can hardly grasp the concept not to mention understand the idea of the one and only all-powerful God lowering himself and becoming a man encumbered with the limits of our humanity. Our natural response is that this is unbelievable and a figment of someone’s imagination. Truth, however, is much stranger than fiction and this is truth in its most basic and unassuming form.

This is the Christmas sacrifice. God becomes a man. Why? First, to reveal the truth about God’s unconditional love in a way we can at least begin to understand. Second, in order to provide the sacrifice on the cross God needed to become man so he could actually die and redeem us.

Parts of our natural world and a variety of religious systems including some Christians tend to reveal a vindictive and cruel God. To understand divine love, read and meditate carefully the healing, practical caring life of Jesus as revealed in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

While the reality of God’s love and grace is far beyond our ability to fully appreciate. We can accept and enjoy it benefits. This Christmas take some quiet time and explore the Christmas sacrifice. Allow your creator now in the person of Jesus too minister his grace to you personally. You will be surprised with a joy and peace that you and our world so much needs.

Measuring desire one note at a time Watching the secondary band students perform Wednesday evening transported me back a few decades.

I played the oboe from Grade 8 to 12, but haven’t touched it since.

In junior high Dave Glackin, a transplant from Washington State, was our band teacher.

Dave constantly reminded us of the need to practice.

“I wish I could measure your desire to be in the band program,” was his persistent refrain.

Originally I wanted to play flute but there were more than a dozen wanting the same thing so Dave asked if someone would consider playing the oboe.

Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski

For the first few months when I practiced at home I cringed thinking it sounded like a cross between a duck and bagpipes.

But after a few months it wasn’t all that bad. I was the only oboe kid in my grade and the parts were awesome.

Before each band trip Dave gave us the same lecture.

The one about sticking in groups because back in the U.S. one of his female students was found stripped to the waist in a circus tent.

Oh and if we were caught with alcohol,

drugs or other misdemeanours we would be sent home on the first available bus.

Well it was Grade 9 and I was more worried about Dave detecting that my desire to be there wasn’t as strong as it should be.

I think the biggest misdemeanour I delved into was discovering girls my age used rouge. Thanks to that info gained on a trip to Spokane no one ever commented on my being pale in high school again.

In high school Bruce Johnson was our teacher. Band ran every other day for a year so I signed up for his musicianship class. We had lots of fun as band students in Grades 11 and 12, went on some great

A taste of summer in winter Minus nine degrees and the barbecue is warming.

This past Tuesday evening I was looking to cook some chicken, so I thought I would marinate it, bread the pieces and put them on the barbecue.

It took a little longer perhaps to warm the barbecue to 400 degrees than it would have if the temper was more like summer conditions.

It didn’t really matter what the temperature was, the chicken turned out quite tasty.

Chicken thighs and legs will hold up better to long, slow heat than will breasts which can more easily dry out.

If you barbecue breasts, keep them on the coolest part of the grill.

If you are working with smaller chicken pieces, they may require a shorter cooking time.

If you are cooking wings, they too may be

done before the other larger pieces.

A note about the skin.

Even if you do not plan on eating the chicken skin, it’s best to barbecue it with it on.

The skin will protect the chicken pieces from drying out.

Use about fourpounds of your favourite chicken parts (legs, thighs, wings, breasts), skin-on • Salt • Vegetable oil • 1 cup barbecue sauce, store-bought or homemade Coat the chicken pieces with vegetable oil and sprinkle salt over them on all sides.

Prepare your grill for high, direct heat.

If you are using charcoal or wood, make sure there is a cool side to the grill where there are fewer coals.

Lay the chicken pieces skin side down on the hottest side of the grill in order to sear the skin side well.

Grill for 5-10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is (you do not want the chicken to burn).

Once you have a good sear on one side, move the chicken pieces to the cooler side of the grill, or, if you are using a gas grill, lower the heat to medium low.

Cover the grill and cook undisturbed for 20-30 minutes.

Turn the chicken pieces over and baste them with your favourite barbecue sauce.

Cover the grill again and allow to cook for another 30 minutes.

Repeat, turning the chicken pieces over,

Serving you since 1985

basting them with sauce, covering, and cooking for another 30 minutes.

By now the chicken should be cooked through.

Insert the tip of a knife into the middle of the thickest piece, the juices should run clear.

If the chicken isn’t done, turn the pieces over and continue to cook at a low temperature.

If you want can finish with a sear on the hot side of the grill.

To do this, put the pieces, skin side down, on the hot side of the grill.

Allow them to sear and blacken slightly for a minute or two.

Paint with more barbecue sauce and serve.

Try some winter barbecue, it’s just as tasty as summer.

BOOK SIGNING: Wednesday

War of the Frozen Fire launched Gaeil Farrar photo

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Jay Earl Robertson is a little nervous but excited about his first book signing event next week to launch his first book War of the Frozen Fire.

He works at Walmart and that is why he has chosen that venue for his very first book signing on Wednesday, Dec. 4, from noon to 3 p.m.

Being his first book signing Robertson says it will be fairly simple.

He only has 30 copies of his book available but there will be baked cookies and treats for visitors to enjoy.

His book War of the Frozen Fire is a fantasy novel along the lines of Lord of the Rings. It is the first in a series of five books that he first conceived of back in 2000 and has already written in draft form.

In War of the Frozen Fire Mystasia is in danger. Someone has created a spell called froen fire. It is destructive enough to destroy entire armies and castles. The creator of the spell has raised an army that includes medusas, nagas, and orcs.

To make matters worse, an invisible assassin is hunting down the surviving noble lords.

To survive the spell they must learn who has created it.

The citizens of Mys-

Jay Robertson will hold a signing of his first book War of the Frozen Fire at Walmar t on Wednesday, Dec. 4 from noon to 3 p.m.

tasia have no choice but to turn to the dark races for help, but they are reluctant to save the country that betrayed them centuries ago.

Book 2: Blue Moon Over Wish Water will be out in March of 2014.

“It has even more twists and takes the story in a different direction,” Robertson says.

He is inspired by authors such as Terry Brooks who wrote the Shanara Series and helped inspire movies such as Krull.

“This is probably where I got the idea to put Cyclops in my novels,” Robertson says.

While his novels are similar in style to Lord

of the Rings or the Underworld movies, Robertson says he hadn’t read these works until after he had started his Frozen Fire series.

Robertson was born in Williams Lake and lived here for a couple of years before going on to live in Chetwyn, Dawson Creek and Quesnel.

He returned to Williams Lake four years ago and lives here with his wife Stephanie and daughter, Shayla.

In addition to writing novels, he enjoys writing music, camping and the outdoors, and pets, both domestic and exotic.

War of the Frozen Fire is available at Amazon.ca and Amazon. com and a number of other places on the in-

Hydro rates going up 28 per cent over five years Tom Fletcher Black Press The first of a series of BC Hydro rate increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 a month to the average residential power bill.

Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday

by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will be directed to set rate increases that total up to 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said.

Commercial rates are going up the same amount.

Bennett acknowledged that rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account

Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Energy Minister Bill Bennett an BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid take questions on the utility’s 10-year plan Monday. that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020.

BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid said the latest rate increases are driven mainly by a large increase in capital spending, including seismic refits of old dams at Campbell

River and Ruskin, turbine expansions at two Kootenay power dams and other upgrades. BC Hydro’s “big build” era of 1973 to 1982 produced rate increases totalling 113 per cent.

BC Hydro cited an annual survey by Hydro Quebec that shows BC Hydro cus-

tomers currently pay the third lowest rates in North America.

Montreal and Winnipeg customers pay less, and Seattle and Miami residents pay slightly more.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said Bennett avoided the impact of private power purchases on BC

Hydro’s rate increases.

“We’re going to have increased debt for the next five years,” Horgan said. “They’re going to continue to take a dividend from a company that can’t afford to pay one, and the consequences for people are going to be higher costs.”

Bennett said the 10year plan calls for the government to “wean itself off ” dividends from the utility, but the five years of reductions don’t start until 2018.

The government has instructed BC Hydro to shut down the gasfired Burrard Thermal generating station in Port Moody by 2016, saving an estimated $14 million a year. The forecast electricity surplus over the 10-year plan allows that, but the facility will continue to be staffed for its grid stability function, Reid said.

A snowmobiler points toward an avalanche on the Monashee mountain range in B.C.

Ken Bibby photo

Groups working to educate on avalanche safety Greg Sabatino Staff Writer An average of 10 people a year die in B.C. each winter as a result of avalanches.

Another 15 or more succumb to hypothermia or exposure.

This year a group of agencies — the BC Coroners Service, Environment Canada, Parks Canada and the Canadian Avalanche Centre — are working together to highlight the risks and stressing the need for proper planning, equipment, training and monitoring of weather and snow conditions before venturing into the backcountry.

“Know before you go,” said David Jones, meteorologist with Environment Canada. “Weather in B.C.’s backcountry can turn nasty in a hurry.

“Calm, clear weather can quickly deteriorate into blowing and drifting snow with driving winds and near-zero visibility.”

Grant Statham, mountain risk specialist for Parks Canada, stressed the need for checking avalanche terrain ratings along with weather forecasts.

Public avalanche forecaster with the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) Peter Marshall

noted there are some bright spots on the horizon, however.

“There has been a steady decline in the number of avalanche fatalities over the past four years,” Marshall said. “This is especially significant as the use of the winter backcountry has increased significantly during that period.”

In the Cariboo-Chilcotin, many people enjoy the freedom backcountry skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling has to offer.

Mark Savard, local avalanche expert, said it’s all about preparation and following a simple set of rules.

He recommends anyone seriously considering spending any amount of time in the backcountry to take the necessary Avalanche Skills Training (AST) course, which is offered at a level one and level two degree.

“I’ve been steering people to Smithers and Bear Mountaineering because you get to go out and do some practice,” Savard said, noting currently no courses are being offered in the Williams Lake area.

“There’s just so much good information out there for the public to use. And never assume anything. You could be standing on

a five-degree slope with steeper stuff above and get hammered.

Everyone should know how to perform a rescue and practice, practice, practice. It’s more than just saving yourself. If you are prepared you could save others.”

Savard said locally there’s more risk of avalanches west of the Fraser River due to its colder, drier and windier weather.

“It can be pretty gnarly,” he said. “But a lot of the areas we ski regularly it’s generally consistent. The snow pack is bigger, which you would think would be more dangerous, but the snow bonds together better.”

Craig Evanoff, owner and head instructor at Dezaiko Alpine Adventures in Prince George, also offers the AST. His next course is coming up on Jan. 11 at Pine Pass/Powderking and can be registered for by calling 250-9625272.

To help better prepare people for the backcountry Environment Canada and the Canadian Avalanche Centre have issued a fact sheet with several steps to follow: 1.) Speak to an Environment Canada meteorologist four to seven days prior to your departure available at 1-900-565-5555 or 1-888-292-2222. The organi-

zation’s Pacific Storm Prediction Centre offers one-on-one consultations with a professional meteorologist. Twenty-four hours before departure call to consult again.

2.) Check for special weather statements issued three days prior to your departure. Special weather statements are intended to advise the public of unusual or inconvenient weather conditions.

3.) Warnings issued 24 hours prior to your departure. Environment Canada is the only agency authorized to issue weather warnings. Visit http://weather. gc.ca/warnings/?prov=bc.

4.) Ensure everyone going into mountainous terrain in winter has essential avalanche safety gear — transceiver, probe and shovel, and knows how to use it.

5.) Ensure everyone has at least basic training in recognizing avalanche terrain and moving safely in the environment.

6.) Ensure everyone travelling in the backcountry checks weather and avalanche bulletins before heading out. Then choose appropriate terrain for the conditions of the day.

Essential mountain gear Continued From Page B1 From the Canadian Avalanche Centre: Essential gear is the equivalent of a PFD on a boat or a seat belt in a car — the basic stuff that everyone needs. Although you buy them separately, think of the Transceiver-Probe-Shovel as a single piece of gear — two out of three isn’t good enough. Every person needs all three parts.

TRANSCEIVER Avalanche transceivers are small electronic devices worn by all members of a team. When traveling, everyone sends out a radio signal; in the event of an avalanche those not buried switch to search mode and follow the signal towards a buried person. Transceivers have changed dramatically over just the past few years and innovative developments continue to appear.

Amongst three antennae digital transceivers, the fastest search times are posted by people who practice. Practice is more important than brand!

PROBE Transceivers get you close fast, a probe is how you actually find someone.

Probes are like sectional tent poles that snap together. An assembled probe inserted in the snow in a systematic pattern lets you physically pinpoint someone under the snow so you don’t waste time digging.

Probes vary in length, stiffness, and materials, which translate into differences in weight, dura-

You think shoveling is straightforward? Think again and check out the V-Conveyor Strategy.

Good shoveling technique can save you tens of minutes if you’re trying to get someone out of a 150 cm deep hole! But you need the right tool — not all shovels are created equal!

What makes a good shovel? Obviously lightweight, but you have to balance that with strength. It has to fit in your pack, but within reason bigger is better. Plastic isn’t good — plastic breaks in cold temperatures and hard avalanche debris! An extendable shaft is important. A flat top that provides a platform for stepping on is valuable when chopping blocks.

T-wolves set to clash with Cougars Darien Grace

Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves played a strong tournament in Prince George recently ago where a pair of narrow losses in the early stages of the draw eliminated them from medal contention.

A fast-paced opener against the hosts and eventual winners saw Williams Lake fall behind 2-0 after the first two periods. With the net empty, Ezra Oosting beat the Prince George goaltender five-hole with just one second remaining, breaking the shutout.

Needing a win to have any hope of qualifying for the semi-

finals Williams Lake came out hard against Smithers, generating many early scoring chances, however, were unable to solve Smithers’ goalie.

“I think we tried to stretch it out too much in those first two games,” said Owen Powers. “We got caught a bit late on occasion and PG and Smithers made us pay. We settled down after that but it was too late.”

In their final round robin match against Chetwynd, Williams Lake exploded in the second period with consecutive power play markers from Jacob Chamberlin and Darien Grace. Chamberlin would score

again and Oosting would add a final tally to cap a 4-0 victory.

Their fourth game of the weekend was a close but low-scoring affair with Williams Lake emerging victorious on the back of goals by Oosting and Chamberlin.

A win meant Williams Lake would again do battle with Chetwynd in the consolation final.

An early goal from Chetwynd ended Williams Lake’s two-game shutout streak, but a second period marker from Eric Nickel evened the score.

Josh Novakowski pulled the Wolves ahead with a wellplaced shot from beyond the circles.

Darien added a thirdperiod tally and just moments later Nickel dashed all of Chetwynd’s hopes of coming back with his second tally of the game.

“A renewed defensive commitment had our team only give up six goals in five games,” said coach Mike Grace. “If we can combine some finish with this play we will take steps to appear in some final games in tournaments.”

The Wolves, who are coming off a welldeserved week off, continue their busy schedule this weekend, making the trip back north for two crucial league fixtures against their northern rivals, Prince George.

The games will be the first two of four scheduled regular-season meetings between the two teams.

Timberwolves captain Benn Taylor said the teams have met at tournaments earlier in the season, but added picking up a pair of wins this weekend would be huge.

“We can beat them,” Taylor said. “We just need to make it a total team effort.”

Following this weekend’s games the Timberwolves will return home to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex next weekend, Dec. 6-8, to host its home tournament.

Local competes at Western U-16 Challenge

WESTERN SNOWPLOWS PLOWS WESTERN SNOW

Thomas wins silver medal with Team B.C. There was more of a silver lining than just the medals around the necks of Cariboo Cougars forward Colton Thomas and general manager Trevor Sprague after early November’s Western Canada U16 Canada Cup in Calgary.

The two members of the Cougars — Thomas is from Williams Lake — helped B.C. win silver at the four-team tournament sponsored by the Western Hockey League (WHL), and just as importantly learned lessons about what it takes to succeed at an elite level.

“I learned how hard you have to work to be a great player,” Thomas said this week after rejoining his B.C. Major Midget team at practice.

“It’s the best feeling you can have, supporting your province and you have a whole bunch of people supporting

Colton Thomas you.”

Thomas said Team B.C. bonded quickly and became friends on

and off the ice. Over the coming months Thomas will see many of his former provincial

teammates again in opposition colours as the Cougars continue their BCMML season.

“I made a lot of new friends there, but when game time comes there are no friends when the puck drops,” he said, before adding with a smile.

“Maybe I know some of their plays.”

As head coach of Team B.C., Sprague got to see first hand how Thomas could adjust to the next level.

He said the forward improved as the week went on and did all the coaching staff asked of him.

“Coming from Williams Lake, they’ve done a great job to get him to be here and playing as a Cariboo Cougar and that was a big deal for him,” Sprague said of Thomas.

“But there’s even a big jump when you

Bantam T-wolves to head north for tourney The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves are taking a 10-hour bus ride to Fort St. John this weekend for a sixteam tournament.

The T-wolves will open the tournament tonight, Nov. 29, against the SSAC Alberta Sportswear team

from Edmonton, then play the host Fort St. John and the St. Albert Blues on Saturday.

Sunday’s playoff games will be determined by how Williams Lake does in its first three games.

The Bantam Timberwolves currently

have 16 wins and four losses so far this year and are looking to build on a strong showing in their last tournament in Salmon Arm. Full game stats will be available following the weekend at www. wlmha.ca or check a future Tribune/Advisor.

Team B.C. won its first two games of the round robin, with wins over Saskatchewan and Manitoba — the latter game was Thomas’ tournament highlight — before dropping backto-back close games to Alberta, including a 4-2 result in the final.

Sprague said the team did a good job coming together in a short amount of time and credited team captain Dante Fabbro for helping to make that happen.

“It was good to be in the final dance, that’s where you want to be,” he said.

“We turned some heads and I think we made it further than a lot of our critics thought we would.”

It’s cold and flu season: bolster your defenses Simone Jennings Special to Tribune/ Advisorf Writer A strong immune system is the body’s best defense against colds and flu. Good nutrition is the key to building your body’s defenses.

Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods.

Load up on fruits and vegetables.

They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will build up your immune system to help fight off illness.

Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants.

Aim for seven to eightservings per day.

One serving equals one small to medium sized piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup of chopped.

Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness.

Normally, your body contains “friendly” bacteria, or flora, that help fight off any “bad” bacteria trying to gain access to your system.

Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use, and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance of “friendly” versus “bad” bacteria, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness.

You can help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/or by taking a probiotic supplement.

Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh, and fresh sauerkraut.

Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 400-800 IU per day depending on age.

Some other national health organizations recommend higher doses.

For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU per day for adults during the fall and winter months. Dietary sources of vitamin D include

milk, fortified yogurts, fortified soy beverage, salmon, tuna, sardines and egg yolks.

Talk to your health

care provider to learn if you are getting enough Vitamin D. Of course nutrition is only part of the so-

lution. Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system.

Among the many

benefits of exercise is stress reduction.

Stress takes a significant toll on our immune system so it’s

important to take time just for you. Get out for a brisk walk, bike ride, take part in yoga or any physical activity

that you enjoy!

A HOME THAT REFLECTS THOUGHTFULNESS TWO STOREY JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED

In this charming family home, which features a boat bay for those fortunate enough to own a pleasure craft, the garage entrance turns away from the street to present an awning’d window to passers-by.

The design of the rest of the house reflects this thoughtfulness, from the lofty ceiling in the great room to the butler’s pantry off the kitchen and the vaulted ceiling in the den.

A covered entry leads into an L-shaped double-height foyer, with a roomy walk-in closet to the left and a den to the right, ideally placed for a home office.

Opposite the open stairway is a powder room, handy for visitors and family alike.

Visible from the foyer through an archway is the great room, with its double-height ceiling. The corner fireplace will radiate a welcome to family and visitors alike. This room is separated from the nook and kitchen only by a row of columns, creating a unified space that will not only simplify entertaining, but will enable family members to

pursue their individual interests without feeling isolated.

The spacious kitchen features a prep island and an L-shaped counter configuration for efficiency. The window over the sink looks out to a covered patio, accessible from the nook for easy al fresco meals. A walk-in pantry provides extra storage, and a butler’s pantry will hold items not for everyday use, such as specialoccasion glasses and china.

The laundry room, off the kitchen, includes a coat closet and a storage cupboard, and has access to the boat bay and double garage, with its deep-silled window.

The master suite boasts a bay window overlooking the back garden, and includes a walk-in closet. The en-suite features a shower stall as well as a soaker

tub with a tiled surround, and includes a linen closet.

Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms tucked under the gables each enjoy an en-suite bathroom, an unusual touch of luxury. Both bedrooms also include a walk-in closet and linen cupboard.

Exterior finishes include cut stone and vertical siding, with decorative archways over the front entry and den windows.

A small oval vent adds interest to the garage’s façade.

This home measures 83 feet wide and 44 feet, four inches deep, for a total of 2,685 square feet of living space.

Plans for design 6-3-632 are available for $834 (set of 5), $945 (set of 8) and $1014 for a super set of 10.
