McLeese Lake house fire claims one life Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A tragic early morning house fire on Robertson Road in McLeese Lake Tuesday has claimed the life of one man.

Around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, RCMP received a 911-call about

the fire and a report there was possibly one person inside, said RCMP fire investigator Const. Allan Smith.

Smith is stationed in Williams Lake with North District Regional General Investigation Section and by noon Tuesday had completed his investigation of the fire scene.

Smith said he was waiting for Rick Owen from the Office of the Fire Commissioner in Kamloops and someone from the BC Coroners Service in 100 Mile House to arrive.

“This scene belongs to the fire commissioner and the Coroners Services,” Smith said.

“They gave me permission to come up here here and do the preliminary survey.”

Smith said there is nothing to suggest any criminality in this case.

He added that from what he could observe no fire suppression was used to fight the fire.

NEWS

Williams Lake man found safe: RCMP Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A man reported missing from Williams Lake last week has been found safe and sound, RCMP said Tuesday.

Williams Lake RCMP put out a

Richard Pop

missing persons alert Friday, notifying the public Richard ‘Ricter’ Pop, 50, was missing.

“We learned the Abbotsford Police located Mr. Pop last evening,” Insp.

Warren Brown told the Tribune/Advisor

Tuesday.

“The police came upon him by chance, so it’s a happy ending.

“He was never in any peril or danger, albeit the family suggested this was a high risk and we had no reason to disbelieve

them.”

When Williams Lake RCMP put out an alert looking for assistance locating Pop, they described him as First Nations, six feet tall and weighing 190 pounds.

“Mr. Pop usually spends his days in

Boitanio Park and at the Stampede Grounds visiting,” said Const. Kevin Neufeld in the press release.

By Friday afternoon, Neufeld told the Tribune/Advisor the police had learned Pop had pur-

chased a bus ticket to Abbotsford, and was believed to be heading toward the Lower Mainland.

“We’ve been in contact with the Abbotsford police to see if they can locate him,” Neufeld said Friday.

Tribune Food and Toy Drive another success Three very full Cariboo GM truck-loads of gifts and food were donated at the Tribune’s annual Food and Toy Drive Saturday.

The crew cabs were stuffed full to keep items from being damaged by the rain.

A total of $330 in

cash was also donated for the Salvation Army Christmas Cheer program.

In exchange for their gift or cash donations, visitors were given gifts or gift certificates supplied by participating merchants.

Tribune staff and volunteers moved the

donations to the Salvation Army where Christmas Cheer food hampers and gifts for children will be distributed this Friday.

Volunteers can help with Friday’s distribution by calling Sabrina Silvey at 250-392-2429 or wlfoodbank@shaw. ca.

A gathering in Vancouver Friday performed a flash mob to protest Taskeo Mines Ltd.’s New Prosperity Mine.

Tsilhqot’in and supporters protest New Prosperity Mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Tsilhqot’in community members and supporters demonstrated Friday outside of Taseko Mines Ltd.’s Vancouver office with traditional and modern song and dance to protest the company’s New Prosperity Mine.

“There are several of us gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery,” said Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) councillor Marilyn Baptiste Friday morning before the group proceeded to Taseko’s office. “Youth, elders, others.”

Plans for the demonstration have been in the works for a little while, Baptiste said.

“It’s come together very quickly and should be an exciting day.”

Deliberations over the mine proposal have become a national issue as a test of the federal government’s willingness to accept the advice of its own scientists as well as respecting the rights of indigenous communities opposed to the mine, Baptiste said.

On Thursday Energy and Mines minister Bill

Bennett travelled to Ottawa to voice support for the mine.

Chief Joe Alphonse, Tribal Chair for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, described Bennett’s move as a desperate attempt.

“I was floored by the process they went through in Vancouver this week with the media blitz,” Alphonse said of the BC Chamber event held Tuesday, Dec. 10 in Vancouver.

“This is a prime example of how the environmental process doesn’t mean anything and how they can be manipulated by politicians. Taseko’s trying to push the project through politically and it’s disappointing.”

If the project is approved, Alphonse warned the TNG will go to court.

Speaking from Quebec Thursday, where he had presented at the Assembly of First Nations Meeting, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William said he was also surprised that Bennett was going to Ottawa.

“For us this is the second independent panel report that went against the project and this time

around was even stronger.”

William said he was surprised Bennett would promote the project because his own minister of environment hasn’t even looked at the project yet.

However, a ministry of environment spokesperson confirmed Taseko has also submitted an application to the BC Environmental Assessment Office for an amendment to the existing environmental assessment certificate and there are no legislated timelines for a decision on an amendment application.

“The ministry did provide input into the federal review and is participating in the EAO’s review of the application for an amendment to the existing provincial EA certificate,” communications manager Kim Franklin said in an e-mail.

She confirmed the provincial amendment review process is underway and will make maximum use of the information generated by the federal panel process.

“Our intention is to avoid duplication of ef-

fort and to ensure that we are as efficient as possible in our amendment review process.”

Now that the federal panel report is released, the provincial environmental assessment office is conducting a review of the panel report to assess whether supplemental information is required to inform the amendment decision.

“The EAO may also review other relevant information provided to the panel,” Franklin noted. “The EAO has sought input from provincial technical experts, the Tsilhqot’in National Government and Taseko on the adequacy of the federal panel report for the purposes of the review of the proposed amendment and the need for additional information.”

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

A lump of coal for politicians

Rallying for our future

I

T

his column isn’t very Christmassy but it does reflect my opinion about the actions of some of our local polititans which aren’t very Christmassy either.

For instance. Some time back Williams Lake council gave conditional support to the New Prosperity Mine. The conditions were that the project “meets provincial and federal environmental standards and First Nations are adequately consulted.”

I really don’t know anyone who disagrees with that. I’m not sure about provincial standards (are there any?), but the mine has twice French failed federal enConnection vironment tests Diana French and there is no evidence First Nations have been adequately consulted. Yet, Mayor Kerry Cook has leaped on the rah, rah wagon for the mine. What have I missed?

Anyone who attended the panel hearing or read the CEAA panel report knows the project would have significant environmental impacts, some that can’t be mitigated. Have the proponents not read the report, or don’t they care? Maybe both?

The mayor believes the project will give our regional municipalities and First Nations communities an opportunity to work together and address common challenges in terms of job growth, business and community development. That dream sounds great for the sort term, but then what? How about leaving politics out of it and plan for sustainable development rather than boom or bust?

What about finding projects that are fair to everyone including future generations? It’s the same with the lumber industry.

Once the parks and protected areas are logged, then what? Then there are school boards, which, unlike municipalities, don’t raise taxes to pay for stuff. They do rely on taxpayers money, but it’s doled out by the province. That doesn’t give them much wiggle room. The proposed increase in hydro costs will whack their budget, the money will have to come from other programs. That didn’t stop trustees from dipping into the budget to give themselves some substantial increases in their personal expenses. Oh well.

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

Our Viewpoint

A double standard Growing up on farmlands in the northern Prairies, I am naturally drawn to the wildlife, food and visual values of agricultural lands.

That background, coupled with the fact that I have lived in both Fort St. John and Williams Lake, has put me in the unique position of witnessing not one, but now two, Federal Review Panels for proposed development.

Of course, this area is anxiously awaiting the decision of the federal government regarding New Prosperity.

In our case, the panel ruled the proposed New Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine would result in “significant adverse environmental effects.” The proposed mine is in a relatively remote area that would have a footprint of approximately 27 square kilometres which would impact Fish Lake and opposed local First Nations, according to the panel.

Up north another Federal Review Panel is looking at the proposal by B.C. Hydro to build the Site C dam on the Peace River.

Described as the “mighty” Peace River by explorer Alexander Mackenzie, who paddled its waters in the late 1700s, today the Peace River cuts a scenic path through a fertile valley from Hudson’s Hope to Fort.

St. John and beyond.

The valley is home to historical farms as well as an abundance of wildlife that traverses the valley and river throughout the

year.

Dinosaur bones have also been found in the region, and are on display at two other dams (the W.A.C. Bennett dam built in 1968 and the Peace Canyon dam in 1980) located at the headwaters of the Peace.

For years farmers in the path of the proposed Site C dam, as well as environmentalists and area First Nations, have opposed the project, which would see 3,800 hectares of fertile farmland and more than 83 kilometres of valley bottom flooded for the sake of future power needs.

In a move to handicap the affected farmers in the process, the B.C. government decided last week to exempt the Site C dam proposal from review by the Agricultural Land Commission.

This means the government, or more specifically Energy Minister Bill Bennett, invoked the provincial government’s option of declaring farmland exemptions if they are deemed in the “provincial interest.”

What is more remarkable than just the government working the system for its own benefit, which seems to be expected, is the fact that we as a society are prepared to further impact the environment for more power when with new technologies we should be leaving less of a footprint — at least a footprint smaller than 85 kilometres.

was pleased to see business and industry leaders rally behind the New Prosperity Mine last week in Vancouver, though weather conditions prevented me from joining them.

The intent was to send a strong message to the federal government about the importance of this $1.5 billion dollar project.

The group included the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, the Williams Lake and Quesnel Chambers of Commerce, Williams Lake Mayor Kerry MLA Cook, and my Musings colleague Energy and Mines MinCoralee Oakes ister Bill Bennett, who then travelled to Ottawa to bring our message forward.

This mine means so much to the Cariboo.

It means 700 construction jobs before operation even begins.

It means 500 full-time direct jobs, and 1280 indirect jobs once the mine is up and running.

These are great, family-supporting jobs for the 17-year life of this project.

It also means training opportunities for our young people and an economic boost to our Cariboo communities that have been hit hard by the mountain pine beetle epidemic.

There are also environmental considerations to keep in mind.

It’s important to note that we have the technology and expertise for open-pit mining in British Columbia.

We can address environmental concerns and still make this project a reality, to the benefit of our rural communities.

The Prosperity Mine is one project we can stay focused on with optimism as we look ahead to 2014.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year.

Stay safe, and close to the ones you love this holiday season!

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and is the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

This prompted me to send the mayor a letter asking about her thoughts on the BC Court of Appeal decision on Aboriginal title and what outcome she was hoping for from the review in the Supreme Court of Canada. The response I received was; This matter is before the courts to be litigated there through the legal process. I am personally looking forward to the matter being resolved.

I am not sure how to interpret

this short and evasive answer, beyond the obvious refusal to address the question asked. This statement appears to suggest that the City of Williams Lake is prevented from commenting on this issue while it is “before the courts.” I doubt that this is true as other levels of government have taken positions and there is nothing preventing the mayor from sharing her thoughts on the issue of aboriginal rights and title in B.C. in general terms.

The other point being made here appears to be that the mayor has decided not to take a position on Aboriginal title even though the City of Williams Lake has clearly stated their support for the proposed “New” Prosperity Mine; “The city’s position has always been that we support the mine project as long as provincial and federal environmental standards

are met, and First Nations are adequately consulted.”

This qualifying statement seems to be wishful thinking on behalf of council and I can see how it would make them feel more comfortable with their position but what do these nice sounding words really mean?

The reality is that a project of this nature can’t be implemented without significant negative impacts.

It might be helpful if Mayor Cook could explain what is meant by adequate consultation.

Approving or supporting a project of this nature without resolving the First Nations issues is not “moving us forward” towards reconciliation. It would simply be repeating past mistakes and maintaining the status quo.

Obstacles versus opportunity Editor: The Dec. 11 Tribune/Advisor article identified our local Chambers of Commerce as the spark plug for the latest public relations exercise promoting the proposed mine at Fish Lake. The Chamber argues, in part, that B.C.’s “proven track record” of mining in an “environmentally sound manner” should be considered in approving the mine.

This mine proposal has failed two independent environmental assessment reviews.

The people I know working in the mining industry are conscientious and hardworking but they are not miracle workers; good

track records are built on good projects.

In a Vancouver Sun article Nov. 28, the cost of the two environmental assessment reviews was estimated at $5 million. Taseko reportedly still owed $282,486 for the first review concluded in 2010 and a total of $852,237 was expected to be recovered for both reviews.

Basic math suggests Canadian tax payers have contributed about $4.1 million to the two environmental assessments; disregarding their findings does not make sense.

The article suggests that the approval of the proposed mine is an “opportunity” for municipalities and First Nation communities to work together.

The report states “The Panel concludes that the project would result in significant adverse effects on the Tsilhqot’in: current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, and on cultural heritage.

These effects cannot be mitigated.” (Panel Report, Oct. 31, 2013, CEAR #1178, p. 197).

I also understand that the First Nation communities affected by the proposed mine have stated they are prepared to go to the courts, again, to protect their interests.

If the above circumstances are an opportunity, what are the obstacles?

Minute portions of all are complete.

Only six more sleeps to the day, eh.

Whew, something tells me it’s shaping up to be a busy week-to-

be around here.

As I mature, however, I am finally embracing the notion that it is really foolish to sweat all of the small stuff. Why do we continually heap so much stress on ourselves.

I will strive to not worry over undone chores and just be happy, happy, happy if those near and dear to me (who must travel to get here), arrive safe and sound, as planned.

Nothing else really matters.

The cows are still dribbling in

from pastures and range.

Winter hit with a vengeance, arriving so abruptly that both the livestock and the producers were caught with their pants down, so to speak.

The early date of the early snowfall wasn’t so much of an issue as was the great amount of that first dump of snow.

The volume is what raised havoc on rural ranch operations.

Cattle that would normally be out grazing on grassland pastures are now in the ranch yard

munching on feed harvested over the summer and, depending on locale, they have come to feed bunk, anywhere from a couple of weeks to more than six weeks early.

An untimely glitch, perhaps the Grinch threw this spanner into the works!

At least we know for certain that it will be a white Christmas.

Happy holidays to each and everyone of you!

Predator team takes down cougar Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer People living in and around Yunesit’in (Stone Indian Band) are hoping, after a cougar was put down on Saturday, that a rash of domestic dogs being killed in the area will come to a halt.

In the last two months several dogs were killed at Yunesit’in and last Thursday a 10-yearold black lab was killed at the Chilko Ranch, which borders the reserve.

“On Thursday night when our black lab, Spur, didn’t come home I went looking for him and found his body stashed in an old irrigation shed,” Chilko Ranch owner Jordan Grier said Monday. “I knew what happened as soon as I found him. I saw the kill site and the drag marks.”

Grier called Kyle Lay of Layser’s Kennel Contracting in 150 Mile on Saturday morning, who came to the ranch, bringing five of his tracking hounds with him.

And it didn’t take long before the hounds had found and treed the cougar.

“He wasn’t a pushover and he was crabby,” Lay said of the cougar.

After the cougar was shot, Lay inspected it and determined it was around two-years-old, fat and very healthy.

There wasn’t a reason it should have been killing and eating large dogs, Lay said.

There was ample food around, yet it had been coming into populated areas.

“It was used to killing dogs, not running from them. It’s not normal, but it’s not unheard of either,” Lay said.

Yunesit’in Chief Russell Myers Ross said there had been several cougar problems this fall.

“A lot of people lost their dogs and kittens,” he said. “The cougars have come right up to people’s porches in a couple incidences.”

Cougar sightings

are normal, but they do not usually choose to stick around, Myers Ross added.

“It was pretty scary, especially for people with children in the house.”

Lay explained there are various theories on why a cougar would go after domestic dogs.

Sometimes they could be left on their own too soon if their mother is killed by a hunter or hit by a vehicle.

“To pin a reason down is complicated,” Lay said.

Lay has been involved with predator control since he was a boy.

His father and grandfather were game wardens and for nine years Lay held a contract with the BC Cattlemen’s Association for predator control.

For the last two and half years, however, he has had a permit and license through the provincial government allowing him to do predator control 12 months of the year.

“I am called in about wolves, bears, coyotes and cougars, you name it. I travel around the region doing livestock and domestic predator control,” Lay said.

He also said the permit requires him to have photographic proof that a particular animal is the predator problem.

There can be no guess work or assumptions.

Although Lay received one report of a cougar mom and two cubs being sighted by someone from Yunesit’in, he said he suspects the cougar killed on Saturday was a lone male acting alone.

A mom will not normally bring her cubs close to people, he added.

On Sunday he returned to monitor the kill site at Chilko Ranch and didn’t see any more activity.

Often numbers of complaints will creep up when one or two offenders aren’t dealt with quickly, he said.

The Lonely Potter and the Potato Guru would like to thank everyone who bought pottery and potatoes from them this year.

The potatoes are sold out, and Friday, December 20th will be your last chance to buy pottery, at the Winter Farmer’s Market, in Boitanio Mall, from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. After that, we will go into hibernation, and you will have to wait until fall 2014 to see what we have produced!

Layser’s Kennel and Contracting owner Kyle Lay with Grampy and Hoss, two of his Layser hounds, who helped Lay successfully deal with a problem cougar near Alexis Creek last Saturday.

“When things devolve, the cougars will even start going after house cats,” he said.

Lay’s family has been breeding and selling cougar hounds for decades, mostly selling them to clients in the U.S. yet even as far away as Turkey and Germany.

“They are a longeared slobbery cougar hound,” Lay said smiling. “They are very calm, good with people and non-aggressive.”

One might pull you into a pen to lick your face, but they are very stable, he joked.

Their job is to bark and trail cougars, not have any physical contact. And they are good around children, he said.

“If they get called to a school where there’s been a cougar, they have to be good around the kids.”

As a private outfit, Layser’s Kennel and Contracting is not in competition with existing government predator services, Lay said.

“We’re not here to take work from anybody. We’re here as an option to respond efficiently, professionally and do the job.”

Besides, he’s got a good working relationship with the local BC Conservation Office, he said.

Share shed good for public and staff Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Cariboo Regional District’s share shed in Williams Lake is a busy spot.

Williams Lake Association for Community Living has had the contract to run the shed since last spring and job coach Cathie Durfeld has seen up to 35 vehicles in the parking lot at once.

“Since we’ve come in the volume has increased. People see it’s clean and organized,” Durfeld said at the site on Frizzi Road Friday.

Maranda Wycotte was working with Durfeld and as vehicles pulled up to drop off donations while other people waiting expectedly mulled through the donations, Wycotte said one of her jobs is to make sure things are kept clean.

“It’s neat in the sense that we meet different types of people,” she added.

Through a contract with the CRD, community living provides a job coach and an employee.

Figuring out when to provide employees has been a learning experi-

ence working with the CRD to find the right balance, Durfeld said.

In the winter, the shifts are four hours.

In the summer they are seven hours.

“It’s so busy in May, June and July. We don’t have five minutes to sit down.”

Mitch Minchau, manager of environmental services for the CRD, said it’s better to have someone running the place.

“Without having anyone there it gets to be fairly disorganized,” Minchau said. “There tends to be more aggression between users, that sort of thing. It’s better to have someone directing folks to obey the rules.”

Since the share shed opened four years ago it has been run through a contract, however, community living has been able to provide more manned hours than previous contractees.

All of the recycling refuse sites have share sheds, with the one in Williams Lake being the largest, Minchau said.

Up to 12 people are employed at the share shed, with each person

Maranda Wycotte and Cathie Durfeld, job coach with the Williams Lake Association for Community Living, enjoy running the Cariboo Regional District’s Share Shed Friday. working one shift every other week, Durfeld explained.

They earn minimum wage and Wycotte, 29, said she uses her earnings to go bowling or enjoy other leisure activities.

She also works at shredding papers for local businesses.

A few years ago the association purchased and set up a commercial shredder so it could do confidential shredding.

“We also have a bin at the recycling lot for beverage bottles,” Durfeld said. “When people show up to do their recycling we ask

them to put the bottles aside in the bin and then some of our workers will sort them.”

Durfeld has been a job coach for 35 years and said the people she’s worked with at community living are determined and hardworking.

“They never complain. We were out delivering hundreds of newspapers during last Wednesday’s big snowfall plus doing snow removal for businesses and private places and I didn’t hear a single person whine,” she said.

Once they settle into a job, they want to work, she added.

Minchau said share sheds fall within the CRD’s management strategy to encourage the public to reuse, reduce and recycle.

“It’s at the top of the pyramid if you like. It’s one of the first things we encourage people to do. If something has a useful life, why throw it in the landfill if someone else can make use of it.”

During the public review of the CRD’s facilities two years ago, staff heard that share sheds are very much appreciated by the public.

“They really wanted to see them continued,” Minchau said.

48-3rd Ave South

Their children helped them celebrate with a gathering of family members on Saturday the 23rd, where all of their children, some of their grandchildren and great grandchildren attended.

They have spent most of their lives in the CaribooChilcotin, they also lived in Shearwater, BC, the Queen Charlotte Islands (as Flora likes to call it as that is what it was called when they lived there) and in McBride.

They now reside in Quesnel, since their retirement and have been blessed to have their 6 children, 19 grandchildren, and 35 great grandchildren (so far) to visit and keep in touch with them.

Interior Health board members’ service acknowledged Interior Health is expressing its appreciation to Rosanna McGregor and David Gillespie, who will be retiring from the board of directors when their appointments expire at the end of this month.

“On behalf of the board, I would like to acknowledge the commitment of my colleagues to the betterment of health services for patients within Interior Health,” says board chair Norman Embree.

“It has been a pleasure to work with both of them.”

The board of directors functions as the governing body for Interior Health, providing oversight on the organization’s strategic direction to the senior executive team, which is responsible for day-to-

day operations.

Board members are appointed by the Province of British Columbia.

“I was impressed by the passion for quality patient care that both Rosanna McGregor and David Gillespie brought to the board,” says Dr. Robert Halpenny, CEO and president of Interior Health.

“They have always had the best interest of our patients at the forefront.”

McGregor, who is executive director of the Cariboo Friendship Society, was appointed to the Interior Health board in February 2006. As a Secwepemc woman and member of the Williams Lake Indian Band, she brought a unique perspective and passion about the

provision of health care services for First Nations people.

“One of my main interests during my service on the board has been to ensure that Interior Health considers the needs of the Aboriginal population in a culturally sensitive and meaningful way,” says McGregor, who will also retire as chair of the IH Aboriginal Health and Wellness Advisory Committee.

“I am pleased to see that Interior Health has now signed letters of understanding with six First Nations in the region, and I applaud the dedicated group of employees who believe in the cause of Aboriginal health.”

Gillespie has served on the board since March 2008, having

joined after retiring from his Kamloops law practice, and served as the chair of the governance committee earlier in his appointment.

Also a former chair of the B.C. Automobile Association and current director for the B.C. Lottery Corpora-

tion, Gillespie says he is pleased to have been able to contribute to the enhancement of health services for Interior residents.

“Interior Health is the most important organization in the Interior dealing with people’s health. Everybody has

a stake in how health care is provided,” says Gillespie. “I am proud of what Interior Health has accomplished in the last six years, and I look forward to seeing further advancements in the years to come.”

Interior Health’s board consists of nine

directors appointed by the minister of health through a process established by the government’s board resourcing and development office.

New appointments to the Interior Health board are expected to be made in early 2014.

Premier announces happy hour coming soon B.C. liquor establishments will be able to host happy hour, Premier Christy Clark announced yesterday.

Clark announced a second set of key liquor changes that she says will create opportunities for small businesses and legions and open up new dining options for B.C. families, while continuing to protect public safety.

To create more consumer convenience and give businesses more flexibility to grow, government will be introducing happy hour to B.C. To make sure liquor rules better reflect how British Columbians live, families soon will have the freedom to eat together in B.C.’s pubs, legions and restaurants.

To enhance health and public safety, the Province also will improve and expand B.C.’s responsible beverage service program, Serving it Right (SIR).

“These changes are about updating antiquated licensing rules to reflect what British Columbians actually want, while continuing to protect public safety,” said Premier Clark.

“Families should be able to dine together in their neighbourhood pub. Consumers should be free to order whatever they want in a restaurant. These are exactly the kind of common-sense changes to B.C.’s liquor laws

we promised to make — and we’re keeping that promise.”

Specifically, with the Liquor Policy Review recommendations announced today, government is supporting: * Small businesses and the hospitality industry, through changes like commonsense licensing and happy hours. * Places like pubs, legions and membership clubs by making changes to create more family-friendly environments. * Health, safety and social responsibility by enhancing B.C.’s SIR program.

With minimum drink pricing consistent with the views that Parliamentary Secretary John Yap heard from health advocates during the B.C. Liquor Policy Review, the B.C. government will be opening the door to timelimited drink specials — such as happy hours.

Clark said other changes that will benefit the hospitality industry include simplified, common-sense licensing rules.

If patrons do not wish to eat, they will no longer be required to order food when they are in a food-primary establishment.

Also, customers will be permitted to move freely with their beverage from one adjoining licensed area to another.

The B.C. government will further increase flexibility around licensing by giving liquor-primary establishments and clubs, such as legions, the option to accommodate minors up until a certain hour in the evening.

This means, for example, that parents will be able to take their kids for a bite to eat at a pub or to enjoy some music at a legion that chooses to be family friendly.

“We’re thrilled to hear government is making positive changes in liquor regulations impacting The Royal Canadian Legion and other membership clubs, so we can hold gatherings that safely accommodate minors, like community events, anniversaries and birthday parties,” said Angus Stanfield, president of the Royal Canadian Legion BC/ Yukon Command.

“These changes will help us strengthen our charitable giving for veterans, youth, seniors and the communities we serve.”

Balancing these changes with health and safety in mind, the Province will extend SIR to all hospitality industry workers who serve alcohol.

This will include, for the first time, all servers in B.C.’s 5,600 licensed restaurants, as well as staff at BC Liquor Stores and ru-

ral agency and wine stores. A specialized version of SIR will be required for licensees and personnel who serve at special occasion licensed events, such as banquets or weddings.

“We welcome the opportunity to evaluate, expand and enhance our Serving it Right program so we can build on our comprehensive information and provide wellrounded knowledge about responsible beverage service,” said Arlene Keis, CEO of go2, B.C.’s human resources association for the tourism industry. “Drawing on the success of our current program, these changes will further instil effective skills and techniques for hospitality workers to promote responsible consumption.”

These changes align with recommendations put forward in Yap’s report.

Government’s support for these eight recommendations builds on a set of 12 others announced last week by Premier Clark that will benefit tourism, small businesses and liquor manufacturers.

“I heard throughout my consultations — from pubs, restaurants, legions and British Columbians — that licensing rules have become complicated and onerous

It is anticipated that Yap’s report on the review will be publicly released prior to Feb. 15, 2014, once Cabinet has had the opportunity to fully consider its 70-plus recommendations.

Bluenotes into the Christmas swing The new Bluenote group is putting the swing into Christmas this year, playing at several public and private venues around the city.

The group includes lead singer Carmen Mutschele, Rudy Wassenaar on piano, Michael Fait on drums, Richard Butters on alto saxophone.

Wassenaar had 12 years of classical piano training from age seven to 19 and while in university played different styles at different venues including Latin American Jazz, good old rock and roll and more.

After arriving in Williams Lake in 1987 he did some theatre work, big band and also chamber music.

Now his latest project is the Bluenotes which is focused on light jazz and swing while being open to guest soloists from time to time.

“The goal is to always offer something new and exciting at each performance,” Wassenaar says. “Music is the universal language and brings people together.”

Fait became a selftaught drummer in his early 20s inspired by a live drum solo performed by Max Roach called The Drum Also Waltzes.

He played with various blues bands in his 20s, slowly moving into jazz in those unforgettably swiftly moving years while raising a family.

Trustee Guenther questioned on expenses Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer School District 27 trustees received and discussed the district’s audited Statement of Financial Information for the fiscal period June 2012 to June 2013 during their regular meetings Nov. 26, and Dec. 10.

The annual report for the fiscal period June 2012 to June 2013 is required to be filed with the Ministry of Education in January.

Among other things, the report is required to show a breakdown on trustee remuneration and expenses, which raised a question from the audience at the December meeting on why (now) Chair Tanya Guenther’s expenses were so much higher than the expenses of other trustees last year.

Guenther’s regular remuneration for the period was $13,746.03 with expenses totalling an additional $11,515.43.

Guenther explained that being self employed she is able to juggle her schedule to attend daytime meetings which other trustees are not able to attend.

“My work schedule is fairly flexible so I am able to attend more of the daytime meetings,” Guenther told the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

“It works quite well.”

A flexible work schedule was also the reason she agreed to let her name stand for and ultimately be elected as the school board’s new chair at the November meeting.

Guenther serves as ex-officio on all committees, business, First Nations, education, as well as the Cariboo Chilcotin Teacher’s Association liaison, and alternate to the B.C. Public Service Employees Association.

Comparatively expenses for the other trustees were as follows during the 2012/2013

Sheila Boehm: $12,584 remuneration; $7,140.90 expenses.

Joyce Cooper: $13,127.35 remuneration; $4,537.52 expenses.

Doug Neufeld: $12,551.74 remuneration; $2,770.47 expenses.

Will Van Osch ( former chair), $17,320.08 remuneration; $6,122.01 expenses.

The report is also required to include a breakdown on wages and benefits, as well as expenses of employees making more than $75,000 per year.

Almost 200 School District 27 employees make more than $75,000 per year.

Among this group are Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen at $126,792.47, plus $10,605.83 in expenses; Assistant Superintendent Harj Manhas at $132,65.69 per year plus $8,205.63 in expenses; secretary treasurer $129,618.16 plus $4,381.76 in expenses; director of instruction $112,125.07 plus $4,062.45 in ex-

Income for principals ranges from about $77,000 per year to $112,000 per year.

Income for teachers in the $75,000-plus category ranges from about $75,000 a year to more than $126,000 per year with the majority being paid in the range between $76,000 and $85,000.

The district’s total expense budget for employees making more than $75,000 per year is $16,296,631.90 and $126,232.98 for expenses.

The total expense budget for district employees making less than $75,000 per year amounts to $23,898,921.20 and $123,494.97 in expenses.

The employer portion of Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan paid to the Receiver General of Canada was $2,103,836.86.

In another schedule the district is required to report on suppliers who were paid in excess of $25,000 during the year.

This group includes BC Hydro and Power $679,910.58; B.C. Principals and VicePrincipal’s Associa-

Cued to hair-raising experiences I did not know I had curly hair until I was in my 40s — not a word of a lie.

I had seen pictures that showed me with curly hair when I was very young but, for most of my life, I had long, thick hair that, because of its weight, it was straight.

One day, in a moment of madness, I had it cut off to shoulder length. It was still straight so I asked to have a perm and … the hairdresser gave me one.

Oh, yes, my hair was curly alright and I just continued having them

Corner Stories

with Colleen Crossley

for about four years, every few months, until the “accident.”

My hair was accidentally “fried” by the incorrect application of one of the perm solutions.

It started to break off at the root and halfway down the shaft.

It literally shrivelled

up and was in very sad shape in about three days.

The very responsible shop owner agreed to monitor, trim and care for my hair until it was back to its previous condition.

She thought it would take about a year!

So, I started having my hair cut short and treated every month.

When I was finally able to let it grow long again, it was curly, curly, curly and, as well as surprise, I was very happy to avoid the cost of the perms four times a year I had been getting! I couldn’t

wait to tell mom.

When I did, she looked at me kind of funny and said, “yes, you have always had curly hair.”

“Huh?” I said, unsure I had heard correctly, “what do you mean — I have always had straight hair.”

She said I had always, in fact, had curly hair — what was I talking about?

She said it looked nice and that she didn’t notice any difference.

Of course, I had been having perms all along and I guess mom just thought I

still had the hair she remembered from my childhood.

And, there was one other moment of hairraising (sorry) panic a few years ago when I thought I would dye my own hair, at home, alone — that is, without the benefit of any advice except that found in the box.

My hair was bright orange with hideous purple roots until it grew enough to be changed — about six months!

Swimmers impress at meet The Williams Lake Blue Fins Swim Club came away with more than 75 per cent lifetime best swims over the weekend at the Kamloops MJB Law Classic competing against teams from B.C. and Alberta.

Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb said the team had some big improvements, personally, and as a team had 18 top eight finishes and 13 top 16 finals reached.

One of the most significant came in the girls’ 10 and under relay divisions with the team of Keanna Saunders, 10, Gracie Frost, 10, Taylor Fitzgerald, 9 and Abby Webb, 8, picking up silver medals in the 200-metre freestyle relay and bronze medals in the 200-metre medley relay.

Top eight finishers in 10 and under individual competition were Leif Brandson, Frost and Liam McCreight.

Brandson posted a ‘AA’ provincial time in the 100-metre backstroke to finish sixth, and also finished sixth in the 50-metre butterfly, the 100-metre butterfly and the 50-metre backstroke. Additionally, he placed seventh in the 200-metre individual medley and eighth in the 200-metre freestyle.

Frost, meanwhile, posted a ‘A’ provincial time in the 100-metre breaststroke to place fifth, plus finished fourth in the 50-metre freestyle, the 50-metre breaststroke, and the 50-metre fly. “[She also finished] seventh in the 200-metre individual medley and eighth in the 100-metre freestyle taking more than 70 seconds in total off her swims making her the female Blue Fins swimmer of the meet,” Webb said.

McCreight, who also posted a ‘A’ provincial time in the 100-metre breaststroke to finish in fifth, took third in the 50-metre breaststroke and eighth in the 50-metre freestyle.

In the boys’ 200-metre medley relay Brandson and McCreight moved up an age group to swim with Landon Christensen and Mitchell Ryan in the 12 and under division to place sixth.

“It was a great swim by these boys having two much younger swimmers on the team,” Webb said.

The club’s senior swimmers, Coral Choi, Madison Blusson, Geneva Gordon, Ashley Beauchamp and Christensen also hit the water at the Tournament Capital Centre to impress Webb with their

Blusson, meanwhile, took sixth in the 50-metre breaststroke, seventh in the 100-metre breaststroke, eighth in the 200-metre breaststroke and 15th in the 100-metre butterfly.

Gordon was 13th in the 50-metre breaststroke and 10th in the 100-metre breaststroke, while Beauchamp finished 16th in the 50-metre breaststroke.

Christensen was 11th in the 50-metre breast-

stroke, 14th in the 50-metre butterfly and 13th in the 100-metre butterfly taking more than two minutes off his total time in all his races to earn Blue Fins male swimmer of the meet.

“Many of the younger swimmers are making top eight and some of our older swimmers are now getting into finals in multiple events,” Webb said.

“This is a great step forward for the club in performance and I am very pleased with the team.

“We have a great group of swimmers that are really starting

SPORTS Stamps finish at home on positive note es, the Williams Lake Stampeders were on the ice hosting their southern rivals, the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

Williams Lake stormed out of the gates, jumping out to an early 4-0 lead with two goals from Tyrel Lucas, a power play tally from Andrew Fisher and another marker from Nathan Zurak.

The Tomahawks’ Wilfred Robbins and Gilbert Robbins fired back, cutting the deficit in half, before Williams Lake closed out

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer On a night when the Williams Lake Stampeders were helping ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ in the community, the team was also looking to stamp out a win in their last home game of the regular season.

While fans entering the Cariboo Memorial Complex dropped off their food donations for the Salvation Army Food Bank in exchange for a free program with the chance to win priz-

the second period with goals from Matt Lees, and Lucas’s third of the night, an unassisted short-handed effort, to put the Stampeders up 6-2 heading into the final frame.

A handful of early penalties from both teams allowed Wilfred to add his second on the power play, before Jassi Sangha returned the favour for the Stampeders just over a minute later.

Just past the midway point of the period Tomahawks forward Donovan Nicholas added his

first on another power play to cut the Stampeders’ lead to 7-4.

But Lees, with his second, and Stuart Sages — on a setup from Lees and Zurak — put Williams Lake up 9-4 and the game out of reach for the Tomahawks.

Nicholas added a late goal for Lac La Hache to end the 9-5 decision.

Williams Lake’s Justin Foote stopped 32 of 38 shots in the winning effort, while his counterpart, Matt Brenner of the Tomahawks, turned

Following the weekend Williams Lake (103-1) sits second on the Central Interior Hockey League East Division, one point back of the Quesnel Kangaroos (11-4-0) with one game in hand.

The Stampeders, who have three road games remaining in their regular season schedule, return to the ice Saturday, Jan. 4, to visit the Houston Luckies. Sunday, Jan. 5, Williams Lake takes on the Smithers Steelheads.

Williams Lake Sparks leaders Leslea Destree and Jen Chapman organized a large donation of much-needed items for the SPCA shelter, working with the five and six-year-olds toward their community badge.

Lakecity Sparks speak for animals LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Williams Lake Sparks have presented a generous donation of blankets, sheets, towels, toys, laundry detergent and Canadian Tire money to the local SPCA shelter, building towards their community badge. At their meeting this week SPCA community council member LeRae Haynes did a lively presentation with the five and six-year-olds, talking about what the shelter does and how best to care for their pets.

They learned an humorous, original song by Haynes called I’m Your Pet and You’re My Person which talks about things like the importance of spaying and neutering, fastening a dog safely in a pickup truck and maintaining regular vet visits.

Sparks leader Leslea Destree explained that the choice of SPCA to support was an easy one.

“Working on our community badge, we were trying to find a way to give back to the community in a way that these girls could understand on their level

of thinking,” she said. “They all like animals and this was something that really interested them.”

SPCA shelter manager Liz Dighton said that with 15 puppies currently at the shelter, the generous donation by the Sparks could not have come at a better time.

“We go through so much soap and bedding – this is so perfect,” she said. “And Canadian Tire money is good for anything we need.”

She added that the Sparks represent the future and will be

the generation to bring about much-needed change in society.

“It’s great to see young kids engaged and aware,” she noted.

“They influence their friends and teach their parents – they are the ones who can change the world.”

Spark, pet owner and animal lover Caitlin Tugnum said she was happy that they could give gifts to the SPCA shelter for the animals.

“Merry Christmas to all the pets,” she said, “and I hope you have a nice Christmas with all your presents!”

Winter Weather: Planning to arrive alive

‘‘

’’

OF THE WEEK:

Do you plan to install winter tires this year?

– If not, why not?

Top ten winter road trip tips: 1. A full night’s sleep ahead of a long drive is important.

2. It’s also a good idea to let a friend know when you’re leaving and the time you expect to arrive.

3. Fill the windshield washer bottle with seasonal cleaner and carry an extra container in the trunk.

4. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses – glare from snow can be hard on the eyes.

5. Wear (warm) clothes that allow good movement to steer and operate the foot pedals.

6. Bring water plus non-perishable food supplies on longer trips.

7. An emergency (first aid) kit.

8. Check the weather forecast, road conditions and for road closures on your route before heading out on a long trip.

9. Good winter tires are mandatory on most high-elevation BC highway routes during the winter.

10. If you must drive in bad weather, it’s a good idea to refuel when the tank drops below half full. If the car breaks down or gets stuck in the snow, having engine heat until help arrives could be important.

?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

If you’re looking for a new vehicle as a holiday gift, consider looking for some of the latest safety features such as electronic stability control and ABS brakes. For a small price differential, you could get a whole lot more protection.

A worthy new Jeep Cherokee at long last

By Zack Spencer

The Chrysler group is on a tear these days with month after month of consecutive growth and awards to back it up.

Who would have thought a few short years ago that Chrysler, of the Detroit Three, would be in second place in Canada, just slightly behind Ford and well ahead of General Motors.

This has been achieved by filling a few holes in their full-line offensive.

For example, until a year ago, Chrysler didn’t have a compact car, now they do with the Dodge Dart.

Most surprising is that the strong sales have established without have a vehicle to compete in the fastest growing segment, the compact SUV. Now, with the introduction of this all-new Jeep Cherokee, Chrysler has something to take on establish players like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

The new Cherokee has only been for sale for about a month now but sales for the Jeep brand are up more than 34 percent over last year. In addition, the new Jeep Cherokee just won its category (best new SUV under $35,000) as adjudged by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC).

Looks Some might not remember the old boxy Cherokee that was sold in the 1990s; it was a very simple design that appealed to diehard Jeep enthusiasts. This new Cherokee is trying to win over new buyers, not just the Jeep faithful. It might look a bit odd at first but when you are in its presence, the design actually grows on you to a pint that it has a futuristic, very modern twist on an iconic nameplate.

What you don’t see is the Italian Alfa Romeo platform that this Cherokee shares with the Dodge Dart. This provides a solid basis that produces a wonderful on-road experience and ruggedness for offroad duty.

There is a special Trailhawk version of this Cherokee that has been designed specifically for off-road, with higher front and rear

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or 3.2L V6 with 271 hp Fill-up: 9.6L/6.5L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23,495$32,195

‘‘

The starting price is the best on the market, the technology is second to none, and quieter than the competition and the interior class above.

bumpers to help it traverse ditches and climb mountains. The more practical base front wheel drive (FWD) model starts at $23,495 and is the lowest priced vehicle in the compact SUV class. The All wheel drive (AWD) model is also a value leader and starts at $25,695

Inside There are several things that set this Cherokee apart from the competition and a big difference is the level of interior fit and finish. Many of the vehicles that compete in this class are rather basic inside and come covered in hard plastic and feature simple designs.

The Cherokee is covered in soft-touch materials, comfortable seats and a large touch screen in the centre of the dash for connectivity. The base screen is 5-inches but a larger 8.4-inch screen is available on the $29,995 Limited model. In addition, all models get a second 3.5-inch screen imbedded in the instrument cluster that is fully programmable and provides custom readouts.

The back seat isn’t huge but the seats again are contoured nicely and provide good comfort.

They also slide forward to elongate the cargo area if larger objects need to be carried. The rest of the dash has a stylish design that is a good combination of the bigger Grand Cherokee and the functional Dodge Journey. Sweeping lines and attention to detail make this a class leader in terms of style and design.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee.

Drive Not content to use existing engines and transmission in this new Cherokee, Chrysler is showcasing brand new technology in this compact SUV, providing good fuel economy and value. All trim levels come standard with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

That’s right, nine gears, the very first vehicle on the planet to come with this many cogs. Having a chance to drive it with the base 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder through the canyons outside of Malibu California, I can report that the transmission is so smooth and refined that the driver forgets there is so much at work. The up side is the Cherokee is capable of 9.6.L/100km in the city and 6.4L on the highway.

The platform is a gem.

There is very little road or wind noise, the suspension is very well dampened and the steering feel is better than many in this class.

The 4-cylinder engine is a great choice for commuters and the handling is crisp and sure-footed, more like a sedan than an SUV. The optional V6 engine is the first application of the 3.2L V6 Pentastar engine. The bigger 3.6L is used across the Chrysler family but this newly developed, smaller version is wonderful value as it is only $1,300 more to equip it on any Cherokee, from the least expensive FWD model to the most expensive AWD trim.

For $1,300, you get 271hp

and a lot more grunt for passing and highway runs.

This would be the choice if you do a lot of highway driving to the cabin or skiing. The downside is the added weight of the V6 makes it less nimble compared to the 4-cylinder but both are excellent choices.

In addition to carving though the mountains, I had a chance to drive over them in the Trailhawk off-road model. This really is the enthusiast version; it had no problem scampering up anything it came across from big boulders, to sand and mud.

A lot of fun, but the reality is that most buyers will opt for the less extreme AWD models that have the ability to change their characteristics depending on which setting the driver chooses from snow, sport, mud/sand and low settings.

Verdict The starting price is the best on the market, the technology is second to none, and the ride is smoother and quieter than the competition and the interior class above. The styling does take a while to get used to but it does look better in person.

Most people will equip the Cherokee with AWD and the middle North Edition that includes alloy wheels and added interior features for a reasonable $28,695. With the optional V6 engine, the price is $29,995. This is a lot of Jeep for the money and

one that is a treat to drive.

Now that Chrysler has a competent small SUV in

their lineup, their position as the number two seller of vehicles looks strong for

a while to come.

EXPERIENCE… IS THE CANADIAN TIRE DIFFERENCE GARNET

In 1969 at Inland Kenworth in Burnaby B.C., Garnet was offered an apprenticeship for a heavy duty mechanic. In 1970 Garnet received his licence for a propane technician. Tired of city life and long commutes in 1990 Garnet packed up his belongings and moved to the Cariboo and immediately opened his first shop North Shore Auto Repair. His small mechanic shop was very successful, each and every year Garnet’s business grew.

Recently Garnet joined the service team at Canadian Tire! Excited about the future possibilities and the solid reputation of such a large company, Garnet is confident that the community will continue to support him at his new location.

A need to speed is not universal among BC drivers

By Keith Morgan

Reader reaction to our posted speed limit poll, conducted with Insights West, was, well, speedy!

No sooner had the paper hit the streets, revealing that 37 percent of those polled believe a higher than 100 km/h limit should be posted on our major highways, than the emails began flying.

Yours truly expressed some surprise that a majority did not share that opinion and that 55 percent believed speed limits should be left alone. While some readers disabused me of that notion

‘‘

Variable speed limits are used throughout Europe and seem effective.

’’

Keith Morgan

an equal number agreed.

Guenter Hoernig, of Penticton, asked: “What would you gain by, say, increasing the limits by 10 or 20 km/h?

A half an hour earlier in Vancouver? Well, if you don’t have that extra 30 minutes, perhaps you should take the plane.

“I don’t even understand why the public is consulted on this - as any results coming forth from them tend to be purely based on emotions.

The safety of the highways should be left to traffic experts and scientists . . . .”

Janet McGarry warned: “NASCAR inspired highways will only lead to more fatalities.”

Currently, 100 km/h is the maximum on most freeways, while 110 km/h is posted on the Coquihalla Highway

and parts of the Okanagan Connector.

Vernon resident Brian Romaine made an interesting suggestion: “My view is that the speed sign should have a range of speed, for example instead of say 100 km/h, make it 80 to 100 MAX. From a psychological point of view, the driver then sees the lower speed and perhaps would have less of a fixation on the max speed limit.

Speed limits should be assessed by the experts to be safe for that particular highway and not necessarily increased.”

Variable speed limits are

used throughout Europe and seem effective. The maximum limits are posted on overhead electronic signs, which change to reflect environmental conditions and congestion. It is a recognition that speed alone is not the major cause of road carnage but excessive speed combined with over-driving the weather/road conditions does kill.

The provincial government is currently reviewing posted limits and Jack Dubberly believes Victoria should hike them forthwith.

“If the roads are better engineered, cars are safer .

. . . then why not increase the speeds to that “average comfortable speed” that everyone is travelling at when the police are not looking?

“The police can spend more time looking for bad drivers rather than speeding drivers and maybe the general driving public will then respect them more.”

Laura Tomelin shared her driving philosophy: “Do not drink and drive, but drive at your own capabilities and get the hell out of the way of other drivers who take their own risks and feel comfortable doing so!”

The more cynical of our read-

ers, dismissed the current posted speed limits as being artificially low and designed not for safety reasons but as a way of generating cash for the government through fines.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone will give BC residents an opportunity to express their views directly in a series of eight regional public forums set to run between now and January 24, 2014.

Mazda tops in Canada’s top twelve for 2014

By Bob McHugh

Mazda bagged three of twelve “Best New” 2014 model year category awards just announced by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

The triple award sweep (Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport and Mazda6) had to taste extra sweet as Mazda only had three entries in a field of over fifty vehicle entries.

This also positions Mazda with three (of the final eight) contenders for overall 2014 Canadian Car of the Year.

The 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year Award was also narrowed down to four “Best New” category award winners: the stylish all-new Jeep Cherokee (SUV/CUV under $35K), great value Kia Sorrento (SUV/CUV $35K to $60K), luxurious Acura MDX (SUV/ CUV over $60K) and the tough-as-nails GMC Sierra 1500 pickup.

AJAC award wins in both Best New Small Car categories (under $21K and over $21K), gives the Mazda3, in various forms, an impressive total of nine trophies over its ten year history. The Mazda6 is also a repeat winner, with previous category wins in 2009, 2005 and 2004, its introductory year. Both the new Mazda3 and Mazda6 are now SKYACTIV-equipped vehicles and offer outstanding fuel economy.

This was also a good awards event for General Motors, the recipient of two AJAC trophies in very different vehicle categories.

In addition to the Best New Pickup Award, the 2014 Corvette Stingray was also voted the Best New sports Performance Car. “This is a monumental step for the Chevrolet brand and the first all-new Corvette, since the first Corvette ... we couldn’t be prouder of it,” said Rob Assimakopoulus, GM Director of Marketing, during his acceptance speech.

The other double-award winning manufacturer was Kia. The Best New Family Car under $30,000 award went to the revamped Kia Soul. A new and softer rendition of its offbeat fivedoor wagon-like design plus numerous other refinements helped the surprisingly practical Soul out-perform the competition. The new Kia Sorento notched an even more impressive victory, as it was achieved in a highly competitive light-luxury SUV/CUV category ahead of some renowned competitive products.

The AJAC awards are based on a methodical secret

ballot voting process that was completed by over eighty journalist members following a five-day, hands-on driving event known as “TestFest”, which was held earlier this year in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Same-day, back-to-back evaluations were performed on handling, performance and off-road courses (where applicable), and on public roads.

Here’s a complete list of all twelve categories winners:

Best New Small Car (under $21k) - Mazda3 Best New Small Car (over $21k) - Mazda3 Sport Best New Family Car (under $30k) - Kia Soul Best New Family Car (over $30k) - Mazda6 Best New Luxury Car (under $50k) - Lexus IS 350 RWD Best New Luxury Car (over $50k) - Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Best New Sports/ Performance - Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Best New Prestige Car Mercedes-Benz S Class Best New SUV/CUV (under $35k) - Jeep Cherokee Best New SUV/CUV ($35k to $60k) - Kia Sorento Best New SUV/CUV (over $60k) - Acura MDX Pickup - GMC Sierra 1500 The accounting firm KPMG tabulated the ballots and the results were kept confidential until the public announcement. The full voting result and comparative data will be posted to the AJAC website (ajac.ca).

Consumers are urged to use the data as a resource buying guide when shopping

for a new vehicle.

The twelve category winners now go on to compete for the top honour of being

either the 2014 Canadian Car of the Year or the 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year. The overall

winners will be declared on Thursday, February 13, 2014 at the beginning of media day at the Canadian

International Auto Show in Toronto. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca

In Memoriam

In Memory of T helma Matt Dear Mom 10 years have passed since that sad day.

You now have 12 great grandchildren looking up to you and one great grandchild with you, looking down on us.

The family has gone through many happy times and also sad times.

We continue to live life with memories of you in our hearts.

Merry Christmas, Miss you.

Love your Family xxoo

If wealth were measured by the number of friends one acquires in a lifetime, then our Dad was a very wealthy man. So many have enjoyed his entertaining stories, hilarious sense of humour and his warm generosity. Yes, he could swear a blue streak at an uncooperative baler, but there was always laughter with Dad, and he was a man who would truly give the shirt off his back to anyone.

Even after a stroke stole his speech, “Funny Grampa” could always evoke smiles and laughter with his colourful expressions.

This past summer, he enjoyed the wind in his hair and bugs on his teeth as he cruised the countryside on his shiny new Spyder, popping in to visit friends along the way.

Born in 1941, Dad grew up in and around Chemanius, BC and that’s where he met the love of his life, Pauline. But his dream was to be a rancher, so in 1971, he and his young family moved to the Cariboo and bought the Ochiltree Ranch together with family. Some of our favourite stories are about those tough first years; of greenhorns taking on 1,200 acres of land, well weathered buildings, equipment held together with “Roy-fixes”, and of learning the ups and downs of ranching. Many a time it was learned by trial and error, but Dad always cherished the wise teachings of pioneers like Oscar Anderson, and he also loved to share his knowledge with others.

Eventually the land was split and Dad and Mom built the Lazy S Ranch successfully together, while raising us two kids, Colin and Dani. Dad also worked for many years at ICG Propane, driving truck and extending his network of friends throughout the Cariboo and out to the Central Coast.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 49 years, Pauline, as well as son Colin, daughter-in-law Fran; daughter Dani, son-in-law Dan Yauck; four grandchildren, one step-grandchild, and one greatgrandchild. He is also survived by his step-father John Starling at 99 years old, and brother John Starling Jr and family.

Dad loved his ranch and the great outdoors, hard work and fly fishing, trap shooting and grouse hunting, Johnny Cash and good Scotch. Most of all he loved his family and friends, and while he will be sorely missed, he’d much rather see us laughing than crying. Ride on and Keep Your Powder Dry. A memorial will be held at his ranch in the Spring.

Top tips to keep kids healthy during the festive season With upcoming holiday parties and visiting, BC Children’s Hospital and the BC Centre for Disease Control are offering tips to help reduce the risk of illness.

Illnesses can be passed easily from one child to another, especially when the cold weather drives more children indoors and food is shared at gatherings.

Children are more apt to get sick from illnesses such as influenza and norovirus than healthy adults and can pass it on to others.

There are simple ways to reduce this risk.

• Get immunized: although flu season is here, it’s not too late to get immunized. Make sure your child is on schedule to receive all of the vaccines available through the provincial childhood immunization program.

Healthy children six months to less than five years of age are eligible for a free flu shot as are older children with many chronic medical conditions and who have household members at high risk or under the age of two years.

• Wash hands: 80 per cent of common infections are spread by hands. Children should wash their hands before eating, after using the washroom, after sneezing, coughing or using a tissue, and after playing with toys shared with other children.

Use soap and water and rub hands for 20 seconds – the time it takes to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Rinse for another 10 seconds.

Alcohol hand rubs are a good substitute if a sink is not handy.

• Cover nose and mouth: teach children to sneeze or cough into the crook of the arm rather than their hands to decrease the spread of disease from infection on the hands.

• Stay home when sick: children and the people who care for them should stay home when sick, especially if they have a fever. Don’t visit grandparents or other elderly people if you or your child is

sick; older people can have much more severe illness from influenza and other infections.

Adults with symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea should avoid preparing or handling

food until 48 hours af- more information. ter the last episode of •Avoid sharing: endiarrhea or vomiting. courage children not to You can call 811 for share utensils, drinking

cups and toys that they put in their mouths.

Teach children not to share items like

hairbrushes, combs, hats, helmets, headphones, bedding, pillows or towels.
