The Williams Lake and Quesnel Chambers of Commerce joined forces with leaders of B.C. business, mining, and mining supplier organizations to promote Taseko’s New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine Project during a media event held in Vancouver Tuesday.

“The event was put on by the B.C. Chamber, but this really snowballed from the Williams Lake Chamber’s position on

New Prosperity,” said Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce president Jason Ryll Tuesday afternoon.

“We had asked the BC Chamber to lend its support behind us in trying to get the project to move forward.”

The BC Chamber brought the event together, along with Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett and Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, to try and make sure a clear message is sent to Ottawa that B.C. needs the mine, Ryll added.

“It’s our collective view that the New Prosperity project must be evaluated with full consideration for both the great social and economic benefits it would create and for B.C.’s proven track record of building and operating mines in a safe and environmentally sound manner,” said BC Chamber president John Winter.

Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook who attended said the city sees the New Prosperity project as an opportunity to provide new jobs, training opportunities and enhanced economic activity.

“In addition, it is a project that affords our region — municipalities and First Nations communities alike — an opportunity to work together and address common challenges we face in terms of job growth, business and community development,” Cook said.

Ryll said Bennett will meet with government representatives in Ottawa this Thursday.

Tsilhqot’in National Government representatives opposed to the mine could not be reached for comment by press time.

NEWS Icy conditions contribute to morning crash Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A female driver was treated for minor lacerations to her chin after a single motor vehicle incident Tuesday morning near Williams Lake.

At around 9 a.m., Dec. 10, the Williams Lake RCMP, Williams Lake Fire Dept. and BC Ambulance Service responded to the incident four kilometres north of Williams Lake on Highway 97 south of the Mackenzie Avenue intersection.

“She was driving southbound and lost control,” said Corp.

Jeremy Roberts. “She over-corrected and hit the barrier three times.”

The highway had been salted and sanded earlier in the day, but with the morning’s transport traffic, the highway was icy, Roberts said.

“It was like a skating rink up there.”

Roberts said the driver was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital and was expected to be released later in the day.

RCMP, Williams Lake fire department and BC Ambulance responded to a single vehicle incident on Highway 97 North near the Mackenzie Avenue turn off Tuesday morning.

Pacific Coastal celebrates 10 years in Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Pacific Coastal Airlines has been flying in and out of Williams Lake for a decade, said the company’s sales and marketing director Keith Boothroyd Tuesday.

“We always say we’re B.C.’s biggest little airline,” Boothroyd said. “A large portion of the business is corporate flying, resource base and First Nations.”

Born in the backwoods of B.C., the company was started almost 40 years ago in Bella Coola by Daryl Smith, a truck-logger with a small young family.

To augment his logging income, when times were slow, Smith started selling goods and supplies to industrial and logging camps up around coastal B.C.

We always say we’re B.C.’s biggest airline. A large portion of the business is corporate flying, resource based and First Nations.”

- Keith Boothroyd Keith Boothroyd “Of course driving in and out’s not an easy job,” Boothroyd said.

Eventually Smith obtained a pilot’s license and a seaplane so he could commute into difficult to reach and remote places.

“Very quickly, because there was a lack of service, he became a taxi cab service, dropping this guy off here or this package there,” Boothroyd said.

“All of a sudden an airline was uncovered.

Daryl’s pretty much a legend in the aviation industry. He’s won a ton of awards.”

Today Pacific Coastal is the sixth largest airline of all airlines flying out of Vancouver International Airport (YVR).

It’s bigger than British Airways and Singapore Airlines.

“In YVR alone, this so called little airline does over 220,000 outbound seats, just in the province

of B.C. a year. It’s around 360,000 province-wide.”

And when it comes to take-offs and landings, it is the third largest company in YVR. “Not bad for a truck-logger from Bella Coola,” he added.

The company flies to more than 65 regularly scheduled destinations.

Some of those flights are bi-weekly or once a month, but they are scheduled.

Aside from Williams Lake, the company’s wheel-based planes fly to places like Victoria, Vancouver, Bella Bella, Bella Coola, Port Hardy, Cranbrook and Trail.

A seaplane base operating out of Port McNeill covers small coastal communities, including direct flights to fishing lodges.

“We cover a huge swath of the province that isn’t covered by other airlines,” Boothroyd said. “For

a large portion of the communities we serve we are the deliverer of mail, food for band stores, you name it, supplies and equipment.”

The company has 24 aircraft, its biggest being the 30-passenger Saab a340, but the real workhorse is the Beechcraft 1900.

“That’s the one you have to kind of crouch in to get in, but once you’re seated every seat is a window and an aisle seat and it’s quite comfortable,” Bathroyd said of the Beechcraft.

On Dec. 4 the company began offering a Bella Bella to Campbell River route, which will make hospital visits more convenient.

“I like to call us an off-Broadway flyer.

We know who we are and that’s one of the nice things about our company. We’re designed and built to

serve those communities that are otherwise not serviced.”

This year the company won three best of business awards from local chambers of commerce.

It won the Richmond Leadership Award, BCSPCA’s Carrying Company of the Year, a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medallion for 40 years of support for Special Olympics B.C., an award from the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue for transporting mammals and eagles.

Looking back over the last four decades, Boothroyd said the company has made impressive achievements in a very difficult industry.

“Some famous person said the easiest way to make a million dollars is to put two million dollars into an airline.”

Cariboo Custom Monogram is still open for business Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Staff at Cariboo Custom Monogram Ltd. on 11th Avenue North want people to know they are open for business.

With the proposed reconfiguration of intersections on Highway 97 North at Toop Road and Carson Avenue, the site where the store is located could be impacted if the project were to go through.

“We need the customers to know we are open,” said owner Nikki Fuller Monday.

Normally Fuller would be working late nights in December, but said so far she has only worked late once.

Fuller said she cannot help but wonder if people think her business is going to close because of the proposed highway reconfiguration.

That is certainly not the case, she said.

She also wonders if her business is in decline because of publicity surrounding the proposed highway changes, but said there has been no arrangement made between her and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure at this point.

According to ministry, the current plan for the Carson to Fox Mountain project may require the purchase of portions of several properties adjacent to the highway, in order to widen and improve safety of the highway.

“Based on our preliminary design, the ministry has reached out and connected with most property owners or

Tsilhqot’in National Government Indigenous Land Title Express: Tsilhqot’in Journey for Justice

October 30th, 2013 and returned November 14, 2013 The Tsilhqot’in National Government would like to thank everyone that supported the “Indigenous Land Title Express: Tsilhqot’in Journey for Justice.” This was a memorable journey for our Tsilhqot’in Elders who originally testified in the trial ‘Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia’ which ran for 339 days between November 18, 2002 and April 11, 2007. They were accompanied by Chief Roger William and a Tsilhqot’in delegation to the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa to hear the historic appeal of the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s Aboriginal title case.

“Sechanalyagh” Thank you - to all who made this journey a reality!

Christmas holidays can be hectic and expensive but they don’t have to be. There are ways to spend less on the holidays and make great memories. Instead of spending time in the mall, spend time with your family and friends, doing fun activities. Try making your gifts, volunteer your time or have a family gift exchange. Share the cost of a holiday meal with the whole family.

Create great memories not debt.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

BY THE CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE ON A BYLAW TO CHANGE THE LAND USE (ZONING) TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Williams Lake on Tuesday, the 17th day of December, 2013 at the hour of 7:00 PM will hold a Public Hearing in the Council Chambers at 450 Mart Street, to hear all persons interested in supporting or objecting to Williams Lake Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2193, 2013 being a Bylaw of the City of Williams Lake to amend the “Williams Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 1825, 2002”.

A copy of the proposed Bylaw and relevant background documents may be inspected between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday to Friday, inclusive, excluding holidays, from November 22nd, 2013 to December 17th, 2013, both inclusive, at City Hall, 450 Mart Street, Williams Lake, BC. DATED at Williams Lake this 22nd day of November, 2013.

Cindy Bouchard, Manager of Legislative Services City of Williams Lake 450 Mart Street Williams Lake, BC V2G 1N3 EXPLANATORY NOTE OF THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF BYLAW NO. 2193 The purpose of Bylaw No. 2193 is to amend the Williams Lake Zoning Bylaw No. 1825, 2002, to change the Zoning of the following property: Lot 5, District Lot 71, Cariboo District, Plan 2384 And That Part of District Lot 71, Cariboo District as Shown on Plan B5050, Except plan 19646 From: To:

VISITABLE HOUSING

If you had a friend who uses a wheelchair could they come to your home for a visit? If you became ill or injured, lost mobility and needed to use a wheelchair, would you be able to live in your home? Most people consider features such as the safety of their neighbourhood, walking distance to services and proximity of bus stops and schools when seeking housing.

Very few consider access for someone who has limited mobility and there is a limited number of homes available for this population in Williams Lake.

Visitable Housing is a concept that asks for features so that individuals with limited mobility can come into your home. A home with basic access that is considered to be visitable has one entrance without any step from an accessible route, a doorway at least 32 inches wide and one bathroom on the same level as the entrance with no step. The bathroom would need a door width of at least 32 inches and enough space for someone to take their wheelchair in and be able to close the door.

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

HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH SNOW REMOVAL VEHICLES You can help make snow cleanup more effective and efficient by avoiding parking on residential streets whenever possible, especially the day before your garbage/recycling collection day.

CARTS Garbage and recycling carts left on the curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or efficiently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection. This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

SIDEWALKS Please remember, it is property owners’ responsibility to clear the sidewalk in front of your homes and businesses.

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

Affordable services would help curb crime

Ferry route important for Cariboo

lobal superheroes are few and far between (like one a generation?) and the world lost a big one last week with the death of Nelson Mandela.

World governors, including Prime Minister Harper and four of his predecessors, attended services in South Africa to pay their respects.

Former PM Mulroney’s government played an important part in supporting Mr. French Mandela in his Connection fight against Diana French apartheid.

(If anyone wonders why former PM Joe Clark didn’t travel on the prime ministerial plane, he was already in Africa on a mission promoting democracy.)

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Mr. Harper (and all the other world leaders) honoured Mr. Mandela on a permanent basis by adopting his ideals, putting peace, social justice, and racial harmony high on their governing agendas. Considering the shenanigans currently going on in Ottawa, Mr. Harper might think about putting those issues higher on the agenda than cronyism and cover-ups. *** “Crime is tied to wellness, and we need to look at ways to improve broad community well-being, not just look to the police and the justice system to address crime. Health, education, and recreation services are all factors in wellness.” — Williams Lake Mayor Cook.

To this positive approach, I would attach the word “affordable” to the health, education and recreation services, and add “alcohol/drug/gambling abuse rehabilitation programs and facilities, plus a liveable wage for the working poor.”

To be successful the fight against crime requires changes from the top down as well as from the bottom up. Sweden recently closed four prisons and a remand centre due to too few customers. Although crime is slightly up in that country, the focus is on crime prevention and rehabilitating rather than simply putting offenders in the pokey. The Swedish government also eased up on the severity of sentencing for drug offences.

Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

ast week, B.C. Ferries announced some major changes, based on the principles of affordability, efficiency, and sustainability of the ferry service in our province. The changes included reduced service on some routes, and the cancellation of Route 40 between Bella Coola and Port Hardy. It’s the job of an MLA to make sure that the concerns of people MLA in the region are Musings heard, which is Donna Barnett why this week I’d like to write about this important topic.

While Bella Coola itself isn’t part of the riding that I represent, the cancellation of Route 40 has an impact here in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. I’ve received numerous letters from constituents and stakeholders concerned about the effect that the cancellation of this route will have, especially from those involved in the tourism industry.

The Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, and many others have written to me asking that I speak out about the importance of Route 40 for our region. They point out that Route 40 isn’t just a commuter service between the Central Coast and Northern Vancouver Island. It’s also a key part of the provincial Discovery Coast Circle Route, which allows tourists to visit the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the North Coast, and the Cariboo-Chilcotin, bringing many tourists to our region.

For the tourist industry here in the Cariboo, losing some of the tourist traffic that comes from the circle route would have an impact on business, and that’s why I’ve been spending a lot of time lobbying my colleagues in the legislature on this issue.

I met with Transportation Minister Todd Stone last week and presented the tourism industry’s case to him. I want you to know that this is an issue that I have and will be continuing to speak out on, because it’s one that is important for our region – after all, that’s what MLAs are for.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint

Voters to decide fate of pool Cariboo Regional District and Williams Lake tax payers will get to have their say during the next election on whether or not they want to pay for upgrades to the Sam Ketchum Memorial Pool.

Now let’s just hope they go for it.

The CRD and City deserve credit for coming up with a conservative, commonsense approach to the proposed project which would see the current main pool and its mechanical systems replaced and a new leisure pool added onto the existing Cariboo Memorial Complex building, where the gym and change rooms currently are.

A big bonus of the design (besides the possible option of a waterslide for kids) is that it would allow the construction to be done in phases so the community will never be without a pool.

The concept also calls for the addition of a second floor above the existing change rooms to house multi-use and fitness space and expanded change rooms.

The decision to proceed with a referendum was made during the Nov. 29 Cariboo Regional District Board of Directors meeting and will allow officials to ask voters if they approve of borrowing up to $10 million over 20 years for the upgrades.

The CRD/City said the remainder of the cost of the approximately $11.3 million proj-

ect would need to be made up from grants, fundraising, and capital reserves.

If voters say yes to the project, it would result in a tax increase of about $40 per $100,000 of residential assessment.

Yes, $11 million is a lot of money to end up with essentially the same main pool, but really what other choice do we have?

At this particular time the province and the feds are holding on tight to any money they have, and it would be very unlikely that local taxpayers would agree to shoulder a new, even more expense multiplex, like the kind we would all love to have.

And, we haven’t heard of any big businesses beating down doors to sponsor a multiplex mega project in Williams Lake.

Taxpayers should also remember if they choose to shelve this project like they did once before, the 30-year-old pool would still need a $2 million reno just to fix the existing tank.

It sounds like residents will be receptive to the project, though.

According to the Pool Task Force, the proposed concept was the “overwhelming choice” of stakeholders and residents during public consultation last year.

That is, after they all finished venting their ongoing bitterness toward the Tourism Discovery Centre.

Say no to increased tax for business Editor: I have read a copy of the proposed by-law that would increase the imposed taxes on the businesses in the Williams Lake Central Business improvement Area and I cannot fathom the reason behind such a raise.

Just take a tour through our downtown streets and look at the empty storefronts.

Why are we placing a further tax burden on businesses that are

already struggling.

We need to encourage business not discourage it. More and more are moving into the fringe areas.

Whatever the WLCBIA is doing, it is not working.

It is a reverse referendum. In order to oppose it you must write a letter to the city before Dec 13, 2013.

The reason these type of referendums happen is because we are basically complacent people and like to complain when it’s too late.

I urge all of the business owners to really take a good look at this and ask yourself why the raise is needed.

Are we all to pay for the empty storefronts?

I urge you all to take 10 minutes of your day and write a letter voicing your concerns.

We need to say “NO” enough is enough.

Proposed CRD position not warranted Editor: An Open Letter to CRD Chair Richmond and CRD Directors.

My letter is to register my concern, dismay, and frustration as a taxpayer with respect to the recent decision to create a new staff support position in the CRD Cariboo Chilcotin Recreation budget line item.

As presented at the recent Joint Committee this position was put forward as a result of the burn-out of volunteers at the Esler Complex.

Also at the same meeting the proposal for funding the position was $80,000 plus benefits.

As a taxpayer one can only have serious questions about this decision.

Firstly, when was the CRD mandated to create staff support positions as a result of burn out of volunteers?

There must be a multiplicity A bouquet of roses and thanks to those who made the 150 Mile Schoolhouse Project 2013 a success.

Thanks to Courtney Zacharias for being the historical interpreter and guide, Barry Sale and Chris Donaldson for supervising the project, Yellow Umbrella for allowing us the use of your facilities, SD 27 for allowing us to use the old schoolhouse, Cariboo Regional District’s Arts and Culture Society for their support and funding, the Canada Summer jobs, 2013 program, Uli Wittal for her payroll assistance and to the 150 Mile Greenbelt, Trail and Heritage Society for their support.

Last but not least to the residents and visitors who came out. Thank you.

John Hoyup 150 Mile House

of groups and agencies with volunteers who must be near burn-out.

It would be my contention this decision is absolutely inappropriate.

Secondly, this decision seems to be counter to any consideration of priorities.

It would appear to this taxpayer that there is a monumental failure of governance when (1) there is not a set of priorities established by taxpayers/board which guides decisions, and (2) when there is a multiplicity of over a hundred line items where it would appear CRD decision makers are trying to be all things to all people rather than to operate on established and defined priorities.

If the CRD board in its wisdom deems that it has money to spend, surely priorities such as contributing to a $2 million reserve for the CMRC pool, infrastructure maintenance, re-

evaluation of Central Cariboo Search and Rescue funding, and Central Cariboo Regional Hospital District funding, would all be higher priorities than creating another staff support position with benefits.

I resent having to pay another per cent on the recreation line item for this new position and benefits and I certainly resent the view that some may see this as this as only a $3/100,000 increase.

As I understand it, this new $80,000 position and benefits would cost approximately $3.19 per 100,000 of assessed value in the first year ... and more each year thereafter.

A reminder to directors that this is taxpayer money and that this decision would be a tax increase.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Petition to be presented on Bella Coola road Editor:

We each may not have known Nelson Mandela personally, but he has to be an inspiration for us all.

What I like about Mandela is his forgiving nature, after having spent almost quarter of his lifetime in prison, he was able to put that behind him and build a country.

I sincerely hope and pray that more government leaders will

learn from the lessons that he has taught us.

One thing that stands out in my mind about Mandela was his winning smile. A smile cost nothing for any of us and it is something we can each freely share.

On the 18th of December, at the Discovery Center, I will have the opportunity to present to our MLA, Donna Barnett, a petition regarding the Bella Coola road, the almost 900 signa-

ture petition has been gathered over a period of time with signatures from all over B.C., Alberta and as far east as Ontario.

While the ferry service is not mentioned on the petition, the road over the mountains certainly hurts and affects the ferry service.

The presentation to Barnett will take place at 11 a.m. for those that are interested.

Also for those In-

terested, there will also be a display of historical information regarding past surveys of roads over these coastal mountains. One of the last government surveys to take place occurred over a period of two years 1969 – 1971.

This survey called for a 70 mile per hour highway from just east of Nimpo Lake to Hagensborg.

Recycled Christmas a gift to the community Editor: We would like to send an absolutely huge sleigh full of sincere thanks to the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society and all the happy, thoughtful volunteers who put together the “Recycled Christmas” at the Arts Centre.

What an amazing group of people and what a tremendous experience for those of us who were able

to attend.

It was such a fun family event and so typical “Cariboo.”

Another group of volunteers who should be commended are the many, many people that worked so hard for our Santa parade and festivities.

We are so fortunate to have the type of people who give so much of themselves to our community.

Without you, none

of these events could happen.

You certainly got the Christmas spirit started at the Arts Centre and carried through Saturday with the parade. You are all “stars” at the top of the tree.

Thank-you so very much for giving so much of yourselves, that is one of the most valuable gifts of all.

$500K supports public safety in the backcountry Heading into the holiday season, the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) and BC Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) have each received $250,000 in gaming grants to support their operations and public safety efforts.

However, the gift they really want this year can only come from you — getting the right gear, training and

information before going into the backcountry.

The CAC produces daily avalanche forecasts for most of the mountainous regions in western Canada, outside national parks — close to 250,000 square kilometres.

The BCSARA supports more than 2,500 search-and-rescue volunteers in more than 80 communities. Both

groups support backcountry safety public education efforts in order reduce deaths and injuries.

NEWS CMHA encourages affordable housing to continue in lakecity

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake needs affordable housing, said Trevor Barnes, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Cariboo Chilcotin Branch.

“If someone’s not safe, they are not thinking about anything except the fact that they can be harmed,” Barnes told city council during a presentation at its last meeting. “If someone is hungry or cold, they are not going to be thinking about going and applying for a job at that moment.”

Without proper shelter people cannot even begin to make life changes, he added.

Three years ago CMHA opened Jubilee Place — an older motel made into a transition place for homeless people.

Current manager Jesse Giddens said within the first three months its 35 units were full and there has been a waiting list of 12 or higher ever since.

“Often people come in looking for a job then we learn they have no house, no phone and nowhere to shower,” Giddens said. “We don’t have enough affordable housing. I wish there was a simple answer, but it’s a significant investment needed to get housing in place.”

Once housing is in place, communities can save lots of money in policing resources, hospital stays, even the cost of someone staying overnight in a shelter.

“It’s more of an investment in our community than a onetime cost,” Giddens said.

The other issue is an aging population and the fact 20 to 30 percent of the people lacking housing are

If someone is hungry or cold, they are not going to be thinking about going and applying for a job at that moment.”

- Trevor Barnes falling into the being over 60 years old category.

“It’s challenging to house these people and then we have some people who are under 25 or even as young as 16.”

Staff are on 24 hours a day at Jubilee Place, providing advocacy support to help people receive some sort of income or if they need help with legal issues.

“Many individuals have some sort of medical or mental health condition that has not been addressed in the past,” Giddens said.

Homeless outreach worker Wayne Lucier has been in his job for seven years.

“It started out as a one-year pilot project,” he said.

Initially CMHA was awarded seven spots for seven workers to try and help decrease the number of homeless people in communities, and Williams Lake was one of them.

“With the help of income assistance we fast-track clients who are homeless and try to bring about changes to help them find housing,” he said.

The fast-tracking — done online and by phone — has reduced what was a five to sixweek wait time to 78 hours. In its seventh year, the program now has more than 500 users who report on the data base.

He said at the beginning it was very time consuming making the contacts, and

gaining their trust.

“It must have worked because most of my time now is spent in my office,” Lucier said of community buy-in.

“I wish I could say my job’s getting easier, but actually I think it’s getting harder.”

Rent increases and cost of living are still making it difficult for most of his clients.

Lucier said the Container Guys donated a container which he keeps behind his office to store beds, couches, tables, chairs and everything that’s been

donated.

That way when he finds a home for someone, he can furnish it immediately.

“And I will not take anything that I cannot put in my own house,” Lucier said.

Barnes said the container is sometimes filled and emptied twice in one week.

Alcohol is still one of the community’s biggest problems, but the numbers of people congregating in Boitanio Park has been going down, Lucier said.

“We are not going

to change the whole world and we can only help the clients who want to be helped, but without the changes that we can give them they will simply struggle.”

Coun. Sue Zacharias said when Jubilee Place was first proposed she received calls from angry people, “especially in the business sector,” not wanting to see a business property turned into a place for homeless people.

“I honestly had no trouble saying sorry you don’t understand it at this time. This is a decision I feel good about making,” she said.

“There’s got to be other properties in town. There’s a good case of lobbying for this type of housing when you look at the significant impact on the other costs you’ve mentioned.”

CARIBOO: Friendship Society

Clients make strides toward a better life Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer With the death of seven clients to addiction issues in the last year and a half, Cariboo Friendship Society homeless shelter co-ordinator Heather Burnett said she worries about losing more people.

“Many of our clients are so far into their addictions and have mental health issues,” Burnett said Monday.

One of the youngest women who died last year was in her 20s.

She was trying to become sober, and the day after she died, Subway called to say they had a job for her.

“She had been struggling to turn her life around,” Burnett recalled.

Since the beginning of December, the shelter has housed 33 people for a total of 95 night stays in its 30 available days. Occupancy is at 78 per cent right now, and if it gets crowded, there are 10 mats they could use on the floor.

Normally the shelter only houses adults, but if a woman shows up with children she can stay in one of two family units, Burnett said.

And if the shelter admits someone under

Often people arrive with dead-pan eyes. If I can see a little bit of sparkle emerge in those eyes, it makes it all worth while.”

- Heather Burnett 18 years of age, just for one night, then no adults can be placed in the same room for safety reasons.

Shelter case manager Crystal Williams said with the colder weather clients tend to stay at the shelter longer.

May is always the busiest time of year — probably because people are moving.

Staff know who is homeless in Williams Lake so on cold nights like last weekend, they will worry if someone doesn’t show up.

Williams said it’s single people who are more likely to be homeless and fall through the cracks.

They are the hardest to house because if they are on income assistance they receive $375 for rent and a total of $620 to cover all monthly living expenses.

Jubilee Place — a transition house for homeless people — has a waiting list, as does

the Cariboo Friendship Society housing.

There has been a bit of reprieve, however, at the 150 Mile Roadhouse, Williams said.

Owner Roman Navratil has turned the existing eight rooms into low-income housing and his manager, Mike Legault, said they are in the process of making more rooms.

“We take people from the shelter,” Legault said. “This morning I interviewed someone who was in the shelter 40 days who will be coming to live here.”

Tenants have their own clean, affordable room with a bed, fridge, microwave and private bathroom.

“It’s great,” Williams said.

Transit from Williams Lake doesn’t service 150 Mile House, however, Friendship Centre staff have been driving out to the roadhouse to give tenants a ride into town to do shopping or go to ap-

pointments.

Burnett said there are other good news stories.

Two longtime clients of the shelter have turned their lives around. One is holding down a job and another has made contact with her daughter’s children and has become a wonderful grandmother.

A man with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder has been in an addiction treatment program for six months and will be attending for another six months.

“Six-week programs don’t cut it,” Williams said.

An elderly man arrived at the shelter with Korsakoff Syndrome, due to excessive alcohol consumption.

“He was drinking 26 ounces of rye a day,” Burnett said.

Her staff went over and above helping him transform from being skinny and underfed to being much healthier and only drinking 150 millilitres of alcohol a

day.

Eventually he was admitted into Deni House and while he was disgruntled at first, is happy now. Another man had a brain injury and couldn’t get the help he needed in Williams Lake.

“The Caribou Brain Injury Society helped place him in a group home in Kamloops and he’s doing so much better,” Williams said. “He is learning to cook and is protected in the group home.”

So often people who are homeless are taken advantage of, she explained.

On Christmas Day staff will prepare a turkey dinner and wrap up gifts for whoever is staying in the shelter.

When asked what would be a good gift suggestion, Burnett and Williams said hoodies are always popular.

“Even a bottle of conditioner and shampoo is appreciated by the women,” Burnett added.

Burnett has worked at the shelter for 17 years, loves her job and said she has terrific staff.

“Often people arrive with dead-pan eyes. If I can see a little bit of sparkle emerge in those eyes, it makes it all worth while.”

Seniors to benefit from Age-friendly B.C. grant Seniors in 100 Mile House will soon benefit from a $20,000 Age-friendly BC grant from the B.C. Government. The grant will support hiring an information and volunteer co-ordinator and setting up an advisory committee. The committee will choose and start implementing priorities beginning with the establishment of a network of contacts in “satellite” communities to improve communication and coordination of services in the region.

Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said “with our population getting older, it’s

important that services be suited to the needs of seniors in our community. That’s why I’m glad to see older residents in 100 Mile House benefitting from this Age-friendly BC grant.”

100 Mile House is one of 26 communities across the province to receive an Age-friendly BC grant this year.

All applications were reviewed by a committee made up of staff from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the Ministry of Health. A total of more than $480,000 will be awarded to this year’s successful applicants.

2014 Mercedes is a stylish price buster room is also at a premium.

The better bet for families is the less expensive B-Class ($30,500) because it offers a bigger back seat and hatchback storage.

By Zack Spencer The Mercedes CLA 250 is here and it is a cause for celebration.

This stylish compact car is powerful, filled with all kinds of features and starts at an amazing $33,900. What this means for the entire car market is a trend towards more car for less money.

If Mercedes Benz can sell such a competent car for so little, the pressure will be on non-premium brands to sharpen their pencil, add more features, and revise their prices lower. Mercedes already has a very affordable hatchback with the B250, which arrived about a year ago and is the basis for this CLA. Both of these cars open up Mercedes Benz to a new market of buyers who might have been thinking about buying a non-premium brand but now realized a CLA is within reach. This, along with Mercedes strong resale value will help to keep lease rates low, amplifying the value this car offers.

Looks Mercedes helped create the “coupe” 4-door sedan several years ago with the CLS sedan, which is based on the E-Class sedan. By dropping the roof, raking the front and rear windows and adding a more aggressive front end, produces an eye-catching sedan that looks classy and aggressive at the same time.

Mercedes has taken this formula and applied it to the B-Class platform to produce this coupe-like sedan. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but the sport package is great value, at $1,600, which adds 18-inch AMG wheels and extra AMG exterior trim pieces.

The AMG look is more aggressive, providing a bigger front air intake and chin spoiler to complete the look.

(The car pictured here does not have the AMG package but does have the bigger wheels)

The side windows are slim as is the back window for limited outward visibility, not so much for the driver but the rear seat passengers, especially kids.

Inside One trend I’m not sure I like is placing a screen in the centre of the dash, like putting an iPad Mini in the permanently placed in middle of the dash. It doesn’t look particularly polished, almost like an afterthought.

Audi’s new A3 sedan, arriving in March, has the ability to lower their screen, which I think is a better approach.

The dash has rotary air vents that look similar to the high end Mercedes SLS supercar.

The front of the dash, in my test unit, was covered in an aluminum panel and surrounded by soft touch materials. The radio and heat controls are similar to other Mercedes products so even though this CLA isn’t uber-expensive, it looks like a proper Mercedes Benz.

The premium package is a must because it includes a huge panoramic sunroof, backup camera, automatic climate control and heated front seats; all of this for $2,800. This is a small car; the roof feels very low and back seat passenger’s needs to be children or shorter adults. Rear seat outward visibility is limited and leg-

Drive The launch event for this new CLA was held in the Washington DC area, leaving historic Georgetown and heading towards Maryland’s ports and navel academy.

This provided some excellent stop-and-go traffic opportunities in Washington’s morning rush hour and then getting to stretch the new CLA’s legs on fabulous Interstate highways. The power plant is a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a healthy 208hp. The power goes through a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission to the front wheels.

The more expensive and powerful 355hp CLA 45 AMG has an all wheel drive (AWD) system as standard equipment but the base CLA 250 will get this important option sometime in 2014.

Power is fantastic, especially if the transmission is placed in the sportier mode. This car cruises effortlessly at highway speeds and passes with ease.

Even though it uses the same engine as the B-Class, this car felt more planted and sophisticated, maybe due to the lower centre of gravity and a trunk, which will muffle road noise compared to the hatchback.

All CLA models come with a Collision Prevention Assist feature that alerts the driver to the possibility of an impending collision.

Verdict We are heading into a wonderful period of lower priced cars, or vehicle fitted with more standard features. This new CLA 250 is a perfect example of this. Other new entries include the latest A3 that arrives in March and starts at $31,100 and then the new BMW 1 Series will

A look at the Mercedes Benz CLA. arrive in about a year.

For the price of a wellequipped non-premium brand Canadians can now get a premium German sedan for about the same price.

If I were to get this CLA 250, I would include the premium package to get the sunroof, backup camera and heated seats. The Sport package is also tempting for the bigger wheels. This would bring the price up to $38,300. Not cheap, but you do a get a lot of car and features for this price.

I hear that BC’s Mercedes Benz dealers have had huge interest in this new CLA with back orders now in place as they try to get as many cars as they can. A nice problem for Mercedes to have and they derive it as this is a great car for the money. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Alexandra car shops for herself once

By Alexandra Straub

The following three questions are probably what I’m asked most often when someone finds out about my line of work.

1.) What is my favourite car?

2.) What car would I buy if I had an unlimited amount of money?

3.) Do you watch Top Gear?

I can’t really say what my favourite car is because there are many I love.

Whether it’s a subcompact (Fiat 500 Turbo) to a supercar (Bentley Continental GT Speed Coupe), there are just so many good ones to choose from.

Let’s skip to question three. Yes, I do watch Top Gear and am thoroughly entertained by it. Any car lover would be. And who wouldn’t fall in love with the British accent?

Addressing question number two: What car would I buy if I had an unlimited budget? Well, at this point in my life, that’s not the case. I have yet to win the lottery. But I can refine the question to, if I had to buy a vehicle for my family, what would it be?

Currently, we’re the owners of a 2001 VW Cabrio. We imported it from Southern California and have put quite a few kilometres on it.

But, we needed something that was bigger, had more trunk space, was preferably a diesel and could make it through the snow.

So, the hunt began. It actually began in December of 2012. The better half and I went looking for an SUV. It didn’t matter if it had five or seven seats.

We preferred a diesel but were not excluding gasoline options. The first place we went to was the Mercedes-Benz dealership.

The ML350 Bluetec was in a new generation and something we were interested in. However, with the options we wanted and a three month wait time, the price was out of our range and the wait was too long.

Then we looked into the Mazda CX-9. Granted, it’s not a diesel but a classy car and one that’s nice to drive.

Again, the Ford Explorer Sport was not diesel, but a strong contender. Though,

‘‘

The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, all-wheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain) and best of all, a diesel engine.

’’

Alexandra Straub

the fuel economy wasn’t as stellar as we had hoped.

We had spent the better part of a road trip in an Acura MDX in 2013 but wanted to wait until 2014 for the all-new version to come out. After taking that for a spin, that was top three on the list. We also fancied the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel.

With all these great options, it was hard to narrow it down. But there was one that we had still not looked at. That was the 2014 VW Touareg TDI. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with it. As a VW owner, it’s something I should have thought about right away but for some reason didn’t.

Regardless, testing it out fit everything we were looking for. The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, all-wheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain)

and best of all, a diesel engine.

I’m a huge supporter of alternatives to gas-powered vehicles, whether that’s diesel, electric or hybrids. It only seemed fitting to welcome this type of beautiful machine into our home.

Upon recommendation from a colleague, we went to Gold Key VW in Langley where our sales rep, John Nielsen, was fabulous.

Upon entry into the dealership, we knew exactly what we wanted. He joked with us that we were making his job very easy. We said we can make it difficult if he wanted! We didn’t.

The whole process was anything but painful. In

fact, it was very pleasant. It seemed as though the other clients of the dealership were also experiencing the same thing. And from what I’ve heard from readers who have emailed me about the car buying process, it is becoming more enjoyable for many people.

I’m happy to hear that.

With our new addition to the family and smiles on everyone’s faces, we couldn’t be happier. We’ve also driven almost 2,000 kilometres in the first two weeks of having the Touareg TDI at home and have only filled the tank twice. Even better! alexandra.straub@driveway.bc.ca

Stamps hang on for win over Kings Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders captured four of a possible four points over the weekend to leapfrog the Quesnel Kangaroos back into first place in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division.

Williams Lake, Saturday, was slated to host the Houston Luckies, however, the Luckies were anything but as the team’s bus broke down forcing the team to cancel its weekend games and, consequently, awarded the Stampeders the win.

On Sunday Williams Lake beat a red-hot Terrace River Kings squad who were coming into the contest riding a four-game win streak, 6-5.

The Stampeders briefly stopped the River Kings in their tracks early on a spectacular individual effort from Jassi Sangha, who recorded a hat trick in less than 10 minutes of play in the first period.

David Gore later pounced on his own rebound and wired a shot top shelf on Terrace netminder Garrett Muir while shorthanded to put the Stampeders up 4-0.

Williams Lake Stampeders forward Jassi Sangha buries his third of four goals, and five points, Sunday on Terrace River Kings’ netminder Garrett Muir. Williams Lake won 6-5. alty in the second period allowed Terrace to find its stride, as Calen Findlay beat Stampeders’ goaltender Justin Foote to cut the deficit to three.

With just under eight minutes to play in the second, Josh Murray would help chip away at the Williams Lake lead, sending his club into the final frame down two goals.

Murray potted his second of the

game for the River Kings early in the third, before league-leading scorer Nathan Zurak beat Muir for his first of the game to give Williams Lake a 5-3 lead with just over 10 minutes to play.

Terrace’s Corey Dekelver and Sangha, with his fourth marker of the afternoon, traded goals late in the period, before a last-ditch effort from Corbin Legros, on the power play with 11 seconds left in

the contest, cut the deficit back to a goal before time ran out on the River Kings.

Foote was sharp in the contest, making 27 saves to help lead the Stampeders in the winning effort.

Next up for the Williams Lake is its last home game of the season this Friday, Dec. 13, against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Stampeders ask fans to help team ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders are asking their fans to help the Stampeders Stamp Out Hunger at this Friday’s, Dec. 13, game.

“It’s our last home game [of the regular season], and the community’s been really fantastic about supporting the team over the years, so we want to give something back,” said Calvin Dubray, the team’s sponsorship and marketing manager.

The Stampeders are asking everyone who attends Friday night’s game against the Lac La Hache

Tomahawks to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Salvation Army Food Bank.

In exchange, volunteers will be handing out free programs with multiple chances to win prizes within.

“There will be a ballot inside to win a Stampeders prize pack filled with a lot of Stampeders merchandise,” Dubray said.

“There will also be a chance to win a Coy Cup package — tickets for the whole week of the competition.”

The Stampeders prize pack will include a signed team photo, a jersey, sticks and pucks.

Williams Lake, who will host this year’s Coy Cup Senior Men’s ‘AA’ Provincial Hockey Championship as the defending champions, will launch the tournament from March 11-15 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Recently, the team held a silent auction and banquet to help fundraise for the tournament.

“The event was well attended and we would like to thank all of our local businesses who contributed and continue to support the Williams Lake Stampeders,” Dubray said.

The Coy Cup Committee, made up of Stampeders volun-

teers, has been hard at work planning and preparing since the announcement was made Williams Lake had been selected to host the 2014 Coy Cup Championships.

Dubray said volunteers are still needed for the tournament for jobs big and small, and a sign-up sheet will be on the Stampeders’ desk at the arena for the duration of Friday’s game if people would like to register.

Anyone interested can also contact Stampeders volunteers John Margetts at 250-392-2363 or Fred Manchur at 250-398-7012.

Wednesday, December 11, 2013 Williams Lake Tribune

The Northern Cougars female hockey team, with Williams Lake’s Victoria Byer, Tessa Hare and Chantelle Beadman-Rolph, had a successful threegame series in Campbell River against the Island Hurricanes from Nov. 29 to Dec. 1.

The first game saw the Northern Cougars capture a 2-1 victory after taking a 1-0 lead into the third period with a goal from Ava Kies late in the second period.

The Hurricanes then tied the game halfway through the third period on a scramble in front of Cougars’ netminder Avery Quiring, before Jocelyn Forrest potted the game winner with less than three minutes left in the game.

Saturday afternoon was another nail-biter, ending in a 1-0 decision for the Cougars.

Hare lit the lamp for the game winner, shorthanded, in the second frame.

Sunday’s contest was Quiring’s turn to shine as she recorded her first shutout of the season, as the Cougars earned six points over the three-game sweep.

The Northern Cougars, following the

weekend, improved to six wins, two losses and four ties totalling 16 points on the season.

“This is the best start ever in the Northern Cougars’ history surpassing any other full season point totals in only 12 games,” said Scott Forrest, the team’s manager.

Next up for the Northern Cougars, who play in the B.C. Major Midget Female League, is a trip to Nelson on Dec. 13 for a busy fourgame weekend.

Richardson off to World Chess Championships Williams Lake’s Kai Richardson, 10, will be looking to put the world in checkmate next week when he competes at the World Youth Chess Championships.

Heading into the tournament, which runs from Dec. 17-29 in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates and involves 107 nations, approximately 1,750 players and 1,715 parents and volunteers, Richardson is the topranked under-10 player from Canada.

He will compete against 204 under10-year-olds from around the world.

Richardson’s parents, Aki and Scott, recently designed team Canada shirts and had Bill Horne and his partner, Claire Kujundzic, of Wells, do the silk screening, before shipping them out to most of the players across the country.

Bantam T-wolves win silver in Peace River The Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves played an inspired game in the final of the Fort St. John Midget Tournament early December, losing in a shootout to Peace River after the regulation and overtime periods ended in a 5-5 tie.

Williams Lake fell behind early, 2-0, but battled from behind the entire game until they scored the tying goal with two minutes left.

The T-wolves had numerous chances to win the game including a post hit with 32 seconds left in the overtime frame.

In the shootout Williams Lake scored on their first attempt, but were unable to put another puck past the Peace River goaltender.

Peace River’s shooters scored in the final

two rounds to win the shootout, 2-1.

Leading scorers for the T-wolves were Trey Thomas (three assists), William Paynton (three assists), Daine Dubois (two goals) and Dylen McNeil (two goals).

Williams Lake opened the tournament with a 6-3 win over SSAC from Edmonton, led by Corey Loring with four points (two goals, two assists) and McNeil (two goals).

Dylan Derose was spectacular in goal to keep the game in Williams Lake’s favour. Next, the T-wolves beat the host Fort St. John Flyers, 8-3, led by Paynton (three goals, two assists), Dubois (one goal, two assists) and Thomas (one goal, two assists). Hayden Lyons recorded the win in goal for Williams Lake.

In their final round robin game Williams Lake came out on the wrong side of an 8-7 shootout against St. Albert. Paynton (one goal, three assists) and Dubois (three goals, one assist), again, led the team in scoring with four points each. Cody Swan also chipped in three points (one goal, two assists) in the contest.

Just 56 seconds later, Zach Herrick beat the Terrace netminder five-hole.

Bond would add another three, and Josh Novakowski would round out the scoring to repay the favour in the 6-2 thrashing of Terrace.

Facing the Prince George team that defeated them twice in league play recently, Williams Lake started strong.

A shot fake on a breakaway from Darien Grace put the Wolves up by one in the second, but a backdoor tap-in on the tail end of a power play equalized the score for Prince George.

Prince George

opened the third with a pair of goals, but, after a flurry of action in front of the Prince George net, Jacob Chamberlin popped the puck in the open goal to cut the lead in half.

On the man advantage with just under nine minutes remaining, Eric Nickel tipped in Cory Sterritt’s point shot to tie the game.

With just two-anda-half minutes remaining, Bond got a penalty for holding, and Prince George squeezed in a shot short side to take a 4-3 lead with little time remaining.

Bond would equalize the game once again with just 1:38 left on the clock to send the game to a

After conceding the first goal, Bond equalized and the home team never looked back.

Bond completed the hat trick and Oosting added his own hat trick with Cory Sterritt chipping in for a 7-1 blowout.

The path to finals would be hard for Williams Lake because their semifinal opponent was the Terrace team that blew them out just 24 hours earlier.

The teams were locked in a scoreless draw through to the midway ice clean.

The Williams Lake Midget Rep Home Tournament started well for the hosts but ended in heartbreak.

Opening with a game against tournament runners-up in Prince George and their own tournament, Williams Lake crushed Quesnel, 10-3, led by four goals from Justin Bond and a hat trick

by Ezra Oosting.

The exuberant response to Sandy Thompson’s first goal of the season was the beginning of a team supporting each other through a gruelling six-game tournament.

Facing Fort St. John next, Williams Lake carried their momentum to beat the Flyers to the tune of 13-3.

Bond added another five goals and Oosting, Darien Grace, and Jacob Chamberlin all added pairs in their second rout.

The next morning, Williams Lake was outplayed, and fell 6-2 to a strong Terrace team.

Needing a win to advance to the semifinals, Williams Lake exploded against Salmon Arm. Five regular players were scratched in this game and their replacements brought a physical presence that

shootout.

Bond scored his shot in the shootout and Prince George capitalized on their first two attempts.

However, the next four Williams Lake shooters couldn’t solve Alex Hinsche, ending their title run in heartbreaking fashion.

Strong performances by goaltenders Cody Call, Riley Lawryk and Jaxon Nohr gave the team confidence in every game and the confidence to reach the final.

The Wolves are at home again next weekend, with two games against the Tier 3 team from Prince George.

They will close out their December schedule with road games in 100 Mile and Quesnel the following weekend.

Darien Grace is a player with the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves.

Positive Action program expands LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Children from preschool through Grade 6 throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin are getting a great head start through the Positive Action program, developing skills to help them deal with every day hurdles in the most positive way possible.

Positive Action was put into place by Communities That Care, a collaborative community table made up of groups such as the City of Williams Lake, Boys and Girls Club, Cariboo Friendship Society, Child Development Centre, Cariboo Chilcotin Canadian Mental Health Association, School District 27, Williams Lake Indian Band and Denisiqi Services.

Communities That Care facilitator Carla Bullinger said the program was launched with a scientific survey with youth in grades 7-12 in 2009.

“Kids here were asked to identify their risk factors and their protective factors. The survey looked at school, family, community and peer domains,” she explained.

“We looked into programs to help reduce the risks that were identified, and the group chose Positive Action.”

Positive Action began in 2010 with four pilot schools: Nesika, Cataline, and Marie Sharpe Elementary Schools and Anahim Lake Elementary Junior Secondary School.

Since then, according to Bullinger, other district and band schools have implemented the program, and it has expanded to preschools, Strong Start and Head Start programs, Boys and Girls Club after school programs and Early Childhood Education

Theresa Herrling and her Kindergarten/Grade 1 class at Mountview Elementary School enjoy the ongoing benefits of the expanding Positive Action program, developing skills to help them understand and get along with each other. classes.

Theresa Herrling, who teaches Kindergarten/Grade 1 at Mountview Elementary School says that the program lays an important foundation for kids and has a positive influence on her students.

“It addresses things like bullying and how to get along with others,” Herrling says, adding that the Positive Action kit comes with everything you need, such as stories, activities, puppets, crafts, activities and poems.

“It teaches kids things like selfconcept and feeling good about themselves; we talk about how every child is different and encourage them to think positive,” she explains. “We learn words like ‘unique’ and ‘curious,’ ‘creative’ and ‘wellness’ and concepts like self-awareness.”

Bullinger said that last year Communities That Care got

funding from Success by 6 in Williams Lake and purchased preKindergarten Positive Action kits and did some training for Head Start programs.

“The earlier we start the better, and this program ensures that we’re all using the same language and talking about it every day.

It’s a school-wide approach; all the lessons and the word of the week build common knowledge, skills and communication,” Herrling says.

“The underlying philosophy is when you think positive thoughts you do positive actions and then you feel good about yourself.

We’re helping kids build those skills and flip things to the positive - using ‘positive’ to manage feelings of anger and jealousy.

There is no denying that those feelings exist; the question is what skills we can develop to deal with

them,” she says.

“This is emotional literacy, and it’s becoming more and more widespread.”

She says the program encourages kids to talk about how an action can make someone feel sad and what they can do about it.

“These concepts have become a part of everyday conversation and actions in our class.,” Herrling continues. “I tell them a little scenario and they tell me how the person in the scene would feel and they tell me how they would feel.”

“We talk about someone by themselves on the playground who may not know how to ask, ‘Can I play with you?’

“In our classroom when someone asks if they can play, we always say, ‘Of course you can’ because we may not know how that person is feeling today.’”

Christmas bird count coming up this Sunday Phil Ranson Special to Tribune/Advisor Williams Lake field naturalists will be holding their 46th Christmas Bird Count on Sunday, Dec. 15, a tradition that goes back to 1969 in the lakecity.

The count will be one of over 400 counts across Canada involving some 12,000 volunteers.

Our local count will have 30 to 35 people in the field with another 20 or so counting birds at their feeders.

The 24 kilometre diameter count area takes in more than 450 square kilometres from Bull Mountain almost to 150 Mile

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK

House and from Meldrum Creek to beyond Fox Mountain.

Much of the area is inaccessible in winter so counters generally concentrate on areas and roads around habitation where most of the birds are likely to be found at this time of year.

Last year’s 3,647 birds of 56 species were counted which was nearly 1,000 fewer birds than the previous year, however, an additional seven species were tallied.

It is difficult to speculate how many will be seen this year.

It looks like the lake and most of the river will be frozen.

Our highest count occurred in 2008 when the lake was mostly

open and we had 64 species including many waterfowl.

There are currently large flocks of Bohemian Waxwings numbering up to 2,000, feeding on mountain ash berries around town but most may well have departed by count day.

Each year brings some surprises, none more so than last year when a Scarlet Tanager showed up at a Terra Ridge feeder.

This was something special and completely unexpected for our area.

Special in that the bird was located and identified by now 92-year-old Marion Corless, and unexpected as this bird normally

winters in the tropics of South America and was making its first appearance on a Christmas Bird count anywhere in Canada.

Bird feeders contribute greatly to our numbers and we would ask that anyone with a feeder in the count area to let us know what birds they see on Sunday.

Observe the feeder at its busiest, usually in the morning and get an estimate of the numbers and species seen.

Please call in your list to 3927680 after 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 or email ranson1@telus.net.

If you need help identifying the birds at your feeder, call Phil at 250-398-7110.

Long-time Chilcotin resident Maxine Wright and her family were presented with a plaque at the Anahim Lake Community Association Christmas Cabaret.

The plaque commemorates Maxine’s late husband, Dick Wright for his role in building the community hall — renaming the hall The Dick Wright Community Hall.

Dick Wright stepped in and organized the building of the current community hall in 1977 when the roof caved in on the former hall and it burnt to the ground.

Anahim Lake Community Association vice president Dale Tuck explained that the hall is the hub of the community and that Wright, who passed away a few months ago, realized its importance and worked hard to rebuild it quickly.

“Dick and Maxine got a grant to build the hall and he donated all the logs and hired a crew to build it. It went up from fall to spring and was built in time for the rodeo in 1978. The project included a great deal of community support,” Tuck explained.

“The hall is the hub of the community. It’s crucial for meetings, funerals, family gettogethers and weddings — there is a lot of history in these wall. It really needs some repair now, but it’s holding up.”

Star rises for young actresses LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor The Floating Princess opens Thursday this week at the Maranatha Christian School in Williams Lake.

The Maranatha Players presents their 12th annual musical, a rollicking spoof sure to delight and entertain audiences of all ages.

Grade 12 student Chenaya Schuetze plays the evil Princess Viv in the production, which is directed by Becky Strickland.

Schuetze said that although it’s not her first time playing a princess, it’s her first time being “evil.”

“Last year I was grumpy and whiny but this year I’m evil,” she laughed.

“First time for me this year is also dancing in really high heels and singing solo.”

Schuetze has been on stage with the Maranatha Players for the past eight years, and said that it has given her confidence and made her more outgoing.

She added that the auditions for the musicals take place shortly after school starts in September.

“They go all day, and you have to sing a song and recite a monologue—pretty nerve-wracking,” she explained.

“I sang a song from Little Mermaid and did a monologue by an evil character from Sleeping Beauty.”

Madison Biddulph plays Princess Tulip in the production.

The Grade 12 student, also a seasoned school musical participant, said that her character is “purely good and sweet, mischievous and a bit of a ditz.”

The girls said they love the characters and the story line in The Floating Princess, stating that it’s an “overthe-top spoof on fairy tales.”

They also said that being in musicals at Maranatha lets you stretch out of yourself and try something new and develops great teamwork and leadership skills.

“It’s such a reward when you walk onto the stage in front of an au-

“It makes us so proud that our school can offer a fun show for our community.”

Both girls said that it’s great to work with director Becky Strickland, adding that she brings out the best in the

performers.

“Her motto is ‘do it again,’” they said.

“She cares about all of us and knows when to be encouraging and when to give ‘the speech.’”

“A lot of the little kids in the school can’t wait to be part of these plays,” Schuetze continued.

“I remember seeing my older sister on stage and thinking is was so cool,” she said. “I wanted to do it, too.”

The girls said that family support and volunteer help make all the difference in the world for the success of the musicals.

“My mom helps out every year – she takes two weeks off work,” Biddulph noted. “I’m so excited for her to sit in the audience and see the whole thing.”

Linda Charleyboy checks out the jewellery while her husband Gregory chats with Karen Paul a vendor from Tatla Lake. in the background is vendor Audrey Lee from Alexis Creek; this in the Tsi Del Del school gym craft fair held on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Linda-Lou Howarth Special to Tribune/Advisor Out in the Chilcotin the community of Tatlayoko Valley hosted a Christmas Craft Fair in the Tatla Lake school gym.

More than 20 vendors participated in the event Nov. 20, setting up displays of jewellery, ornaments, books, baked goods and and wooden furniture.

The committee served

delicious potato soup or hamburger veggie soup with a bun, coffee, juice or hot chocolate which the buyers enjoyed wile visiting friends they haven’t seen forever!

Then on Dec. 1 about 12 vendors set up in the school gym in the Tsi Del Del community to sell their wares, jewellery, baked goods, popcorn calendars, goodie snacks were available to buy.

Coffee was free and

the $5 Indian Tacos were enjoyed by all at noon ... sooo good!

The roads were a bit questionable in the morning but the road service crew had them well sanded.

Thank goodness, the weather was very warm, making the walkways literally sheets of ice.

This craft fair had a lot of bargaining going on or trades of goods and everyone left happy with themselves.
