In their time-honoured tradition of fundraising for children’s charity, there are penguins galore having fun among the lights at Ken and Julia Berry’s Christmas House at 142 Country Club Boulevard. Visitors are invited to drop a donation in the little bird house for the Child Development Centre. Lights will be on every evening from 5 to 11 p.m. at least until Jan. 4.

Scenes will change every few evenings so residents are encouraged to visit more than once.

Four months following his initial arrest, 24 weapons charges have been laid against a Tatla Lake man.

Crown Counsel laid charges against 63-year-old Gerald Kirby as a result of a Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of BC investigation.

“In early June 2013, CFSEU-BC received a tip that the man, a longtime resident of Tatla Lake, was trafficking firearms and prohibited devices,” CFSEU-BC said in a press release Wednesday. “CFSEUBC began an investigation and it was uncovered that the man was allegedly selling assault-style semiautomatic rifles ... amongst other guns and weapons.”

Kirby was arrested at his home on Aug. 23 and a search warrant resulted in police finding and seizing 183 firearms of various makes, models, and calibres, along with tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and prohibited devices, CFSEU-BC said.

The charges include possession for the purpose of weapons trafficking, weapons trafficking, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized and careless use of a firearm.

Kirby has no previous criminal record and is currently not in custody.

His next court date is on Jan. 29 in Williams Lake.

May this Christmas fill your hearts with peace and joy!

Christmas loon flies Pacific Coastal Airlines LeRae Haynes

Special to Tribune/Advisor A young loon, rescued from a small patch of open water on Horsefly Lake, was sent to Burnaby Wildlife Rescue thanks to good-hearted neighbours.

Horsefly residents, South Cariboo Search and Rescue, Animal Care Hospital and Pacific Coastal Airlines were all involved in the rescue.

Residents at Horsefly Lake noticed two immature loons trapped in a small open water area and decided to get help.

South Cariboo Search and Rescue team leader James Seeley explained that he got a phone call from his daughter, Becky Cadsand, from the Horsefly Lake area, saying that she had heard about two loons trapped by encroaching ice.

Dr. Doug Magnowski at Animal Care Hospital, who took in the bird and arranged

its flight to Vancouver, said that reduced open water is a real risk to loons.

“A loon requires a long length of water to take off flying and the small piece of open water in Horsefly Lake basically had the two birds trapped. Everybody migrated and he got left behind,” he explained.

“Loons are amazing swimmers and divers but cannot walk on land; they can’t sit against a hard surface because it blocks blood flow from the ‘keel’, or main flying muscle - they can’t be out of water for long.

We could have sent him by truck, but it would have been too long out of water and he likely wouldn’t have survived.”

Seeley said that when he couldn’t reach Central Cariboo Search and Rescue, he contacted his team members Randy McRoberts and Peter Crawshay, packed up ice rescue gear and equipment and headed

Becky said that the ice rescue volunteers arrived with kayaks and dry suits and that Fisheries loaned them dip nets to help with the project.

She also said that a bald eagle had been harassing the loons for several hours before

the rescue.

“The ice was very thin and it was sketchy getting out there. The birds were panicking, swimming underwater and only popping up to breathe. We used salmon nets and were able to catch one of the birds. We wrapped it in a soft wool blanket

and put it in a pet carrier,” Seeley explained.

“The other bird disappeared under the ice and we couldn’t find it.

There is a chance that it might have made it to a larger patch of open water some distance away. We know that these birds would have perished without

More people are starting to use their cell phones as a reminder to take their medication. Just be sure the reminder is a sound that you will associate with taking your meds.

If high-tech phones aren’t for you, try using a digital kitchen timer. Some allow for reminders of up to 12 hours later. Carry it in your pocket or purse.

Head injuries account for 9-19% of all winter sports activities. When you are buying a protective helmet for your sport, be sure it is CSA-approved. A good helmet can considerably reduce the risk of head injury.

Heart attacks occur more often in cold weather. The cold causes the blood vessels to constrict causing the blood pressure to rise putting a strain on the heart which is trying so hard to keep our body warm. Age and exercise (like shovelling that driveway) can also contribute to the heart attack risk.

Good food abounds at this time of year and to avoid gaining excess pounds, good self-discipline is in order.

When sitting down to a holiday meal, try this: fill half your plate with vegetables, a quarter with protein and a quarter with starch. Actually, this is a good rule for eating all year round!

our interference and are so glad we were able to rescue one of them.”

When the bird arrived at Animal Care Hospital Dr. Magnowski began arranging the bird’s transport to the Burnaby Wildlife Rescue.

He explained that Pacific Coastal Airlines transports injured wildlife for the local animal hospital year round.

“They do this tirelessly around the world as a service to rescued wildlife,” he said, adding that an exception to this policy takes place Dec. 1 to Jan. 5, when traffic increases because of the holidays.

Magnowski phoned Pacific Coastal head office in Vancouver and explained the situation.

A woman in the cargo department ran it by her supervisor who made an exception, and the loon was booked on the flight to Vancouver.

“They bent all the

rules to help save this bird and I think that says so much about them,” he noted.

“They deserve a huge thank you for their support for animals.”

He said that at Animal Care Hospital they treat wildlife such as deer, fox, moose, raptors, and even song birds, and that the last bird shipped from Williams Lake on Pacific Coastal Airlines was a crane.

This isn’t the first time that South Cariboo Search and Rescue has performed an intricate animal rescue.

Six years ago the team rescued a dog trapped on a cliff beside a waterfall, making national news and received a ‘best volunteer organization’ award from the RCMP. Seeley said that they get 15-20 calls per year.

“We do very extensive training and have great gear and equipment,” he said.

“It was wonderful to get to use it for such a heart-felt rescue.”

Intersection decision stalled Williams Lake city council has yet to make a decision on intersection upgrades at Toop Road and Highway 97 in Williams Lake.

Love from the kids

Your local authorized

Dealer Sales & Service In response to the citizen request council directed staff to bring forward a report in early January 2014 outlining the costs associated with engaging the services of an independent traffic engineer.

If hired, the engineer would review all documents and proposed Options One and Two for city street configuration associated with the Carson Road to Fox Mountain Highway 97

four-laning project in regards to the effects they may have as they apply to traffic and pedestrian safety and the access and egress of city frontage streets.

Five councillors voted in favour of the motion while Mayor Kerry Cook and Danica Hughes were opposed.

Cook said the highway upgrade project to date has engaged six engineering firms and years of reports.

“I don’t support Option Two, but was prepared to support Option One,” Cook said.

“We would want this report as soon as possible. I’m concerned about timelines.”

Option One uses McKinnon Road moving traffic in and off the Toop Road intersection, whereas Option Two would tie in Johnson street directly with the exit from the Toop intersection.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer While it was expected that city council would make a decision on the controversial proposed Highway 97 intersection upgrades this week, council instead took a safer route due to public pressure.

Tuesday evening council passed a motion at its regular meeting directing staff to inquire about the costs of hiring an independent traffic engineer, as requested by a citizen’s committee the week before.

“You can’t have the same company designing the highway and designing in the city. It’s impossible to suggest that’s unbiased,” said committee spokesperson John Moon after the motion was passed.

“There’s a judicial responsibility on the part of the council to ensure there’s independent advisement for them before they make a decision,” Moon said.

several vehicles in the Cattle Drive area,” said Const. Kimberly Trent in a press release.

“The thief was successful in stealing one of the vehicles by smashing it through a secured

gate.”

The vehicle was recovered unoccupied hours later in Williams Lake.

Trent said the RCMP are asking the public to contact police with in-

formation about this incident or any other crime at (250) 392-6211 or Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477. Crimestoppers also subscribes to web tips at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

Petition demands Discovery Coast Ferry remain Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A 900-signature petition to save the Discovery Coast Ferry is now in the hands of Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett to pass on to her government.

Doug Wilson of Williams Lake delivered the petition to Barnett Wednesday at the Tourism Discovery Centre.

He said hundreds of people are concerned about the cancellation of the ferry service and the financial hardship it will bring to the many enterprises along the Highway 20 corridor.

“Many tourist operators are depending on the continuation of travellers along this route,” Wilson said.

“The circle tour was started in recognition of the importance of that tourism through this vast area of B.C.” As the forest industry has declined, the developing tourist industry within the circle tour is helping fill an important gap, he said.

Barnett said she is working as hard as she can to have the ferry continue in 2014.

“Our tourism operators have sold their packages overseas, they’ve sold them around the world.

At this point in time there’s a financial anal-

Barnett is hoping to bring the Minister of Tourism and Jobs, Shirley Bond, and Minister of State for Tourism, Naomi Yamamoto, to Williams Lake in the not too distance future.

“I will continue to pursue the ferry. I know how important it is and I will certainly take this to the minister,” she said of the petition.

Wilson also said the 18.5 kilometre section of the road between

LARGEST SELECTION OF

MEDICAL DATA BRACELETS IN THE CARIBOO

Heckman Pass and the foot of the Bella Coola Hill is a concern.

“I have received letters from government arguing there is little need for a better road.

Government’s argument is no industry, no commerce and little accident history to warrant it.”

Because the area does not have a highway that meets safe national standards, industry, tourism and

commerce are discouraged from fully developing, Wilson said.

Along with the petition Wilson brought a display of information showing there could be a highway to the central coast constructed to safe national highway standards without switchbacks with a grade of under six per cent, also that the plateau can be reached within eight and half kilometres instead.

“The elevation difference would be 1,300 feet instead of 3,900 feet of the Highway 20 to reach the plateau.”

The display included a professional aerial survey done by Rudy Johnson showing the plateau area where a better road could be constructed.

“When the army went in there in 1943 and built the telephone line down there they managed to get through there. What’s wrong with us?” Johnson said. “There isstill a big pile of poles on the river bank there.

They were supposed to take them up but the road was never put through.”

A half decent road into Bella Coola could open up a third port on B.C.’s coast, Johnson said.

“They could store hundreds of boats if there was a better road.”

The poles were leftthere to rot, and are still there.

“It’s called Pole Island right in the Atnarko River,” Wilson said.

Barnett told Wilson and Johnson the historical data was very valuable and encour-

aged Wilson to leave copies at the Tourism Discovery Centre and the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Debbie Fisher of Williams Lake asked Barnett why someone isn’t pushing to have Highway 20 designated as a Schedule Two Highway.

“If you go into the Highway’s Act it’s classified as a secondary road. There are all sorts of different funding protocols for Schedule Two Highways. The Nazko Highway is a Schedule Two Highway.”

More funding is available and different practices have to be followed for road construction.

There should be a push to have it changed, Fisher added.

Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Claudia Blair said the chamber has received a letter from BC Ferries president and CEO Mike Corrigan offering to meet.

“He did not say he would restore the ferry but would meet to discuss options for the Nimpkish Ferry,” Blair said.

Pipe dreams A federal environmental review panel has recommended Enbridge’s controversial Northern Gateway pipeline, which would see heavy oil piped from Alberta to Kitimat around mountains, under forests and through rivers, can proceed — provided the company meets 209 conditions on environmental protection.

While admitting a large oil spill would have “significant” impacts to the environment, society and the economy, the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel came to the conclusion the benefits of a twin pipeline from northern Alberta to a proposed tanker facility at Kitimat outweigh the risks.

The announcement was fittingly made in oil-loving Calgary on Wednesday but judging by the initial reaction, the ruling doesn’t mean it will be smooth sailing for Enbridge in this province.

Press releases denouncing the decision have already been issued by the New Democrats, First Nations, and environmental groups.

Coastal First Nations accuse the federal government of stripping the power and authority of

the Joint Review Panel early in the the process, while the opposition is calling on Premier Christy Clark to protect B.C.’s economy and environment.

The Sierra Club even accuses the feds of delaying critical information on endangered humpback whales.

That being said the panel, which acknowledged there would be significant effect on some populations of woodland caribou and grizzly bears, ruled over all the “likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects resulting from project malfunctions or accidents is very low,” the report states.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said approval by the federal panel meets one of its five conditions, but doesn’t change the province’s position against the pipeline until its other four are met.

They include satisfying legal obligations to consult and accommodate Aboriginal communities and developing “world leading” safety and spill response on land and at sea.

A logging truck stuck on the Mitchell Bay Road recently gets a little help from a friendly Horsefly neighbour with a skidder. Today’s forecast calls for a weather warning for much of the Interior with snowfall amounts up to 25 centimetres.

Decorating the house for Christmas always entertaining We are in the process of decorating the house for Christmas.

So keeping in the true holiday spirit, Carmen and I managed to put the tree up and string the lights on it, without getting into a fist fight this year.

Mind you there are still the glass bulbs to put on. (I’ve only crushed one into the rug so far.)

Putting the angel on top too, is always a supreme challenge.

Maybe we should have started off there first and worked down.

I had a real beauty of a spruce picked out for our tree this year, but our daughter-in-law showed up with an artificial one.

The kind where you pull a string and it all pops into place.

Not quite the same rural romantic notion of striding off into the woods and snow to cut one down. But a tree saved nevertheless.

banned from the living room. I have to admit, the fake one when finished, looked just grand, if not a blur of colour as it was slightly out of focus. I had misplaced my glasses. (Or was it the rum and eggnog?) In the end, all things appeared to be organized and in their rightful place.

In fact, I found that if you stand on your head in the corner, everything looks just rosy.

As we stepped back to admire our handiwork, Carmen had the audacity to say, “I think we have to push it back about a foot and a half and slightly to the left.” Oh Oh! Time to call in the movers. Just when I thought our troubles were over, she announced, “Now we have to put up the tree for the table.”

Carrying on with the festive decor, the lighted reindeer I put outside, fell apart, but I dutifully put it back together with duct tape.

(Thank God for Red Green.) It now has a strange patchwork glow about it.

And since it is my duty to wrap the presents this year, I plan to reduce my consumption of scotch tape from 30 rolls down to 25.

Keeping in mind, that I am against excessive consumerism and want to make a statement.

Figuring to put to use some sunflower seed butter which has

sat in the fridge far too long, I combined it with cream cheese and called it Uncle Bob’s chip dip.

Carmen calls it the ‘one bite’ dip, that’s all it would take she cautions, to start one cruising the table looking for something else to put in their mouth and to stop clawing at their tongue with their fingernails, thereby ridding themselves of that cloying taste. (at least I should be lauded for my daring and initiative.)

Carmen also asked why I was being so nice to her, so I replied that I didn’t have anything better to do. (just kidding), I can be jolly, especially after frequent runs on the rum and eggnog. The great thing about decorating the house for Christmas is, Happy Hour starts earlier in the day, thereby keeping us in a jovial mood. (even if our actions are sometimes slowed down to a crawl after a time.)

However, getting caught up in

too much merriment, I spilled hot chocolate on the fake snow covered mantle. Reindeer droppings.

Finally, Carmen, in a thrifty state of mind, stated; “You don’t have to buy me a Christmas present this year.”

Who’s she kidding? There are some things you don’t shirk on.

I thought about getting her some of that frankincense and myrrh, but unfortunately, the pharmacist at the drug store said they didn’t stock them.

Well, giving a gift after all, is bringing to loved ones, a token of your fondness for them, is it not?

That is the true spirit of Christmas.

For in the end, don’t we love the kindness, good cheer and camaraderie, this season opens up in us?

Merry Christmas and happy decorating.

Here’s the big idea of 2013 One of Canada’s great entrepreneurial success stories in recent years is WestJet, the Calgary-based airline that is expanding across the country and taking on European routes.

Clive Beddoe, the founding CEO of WestJet, was famous for helping the cabin crew tidy up the plane before getting off a flight. And the company is also known for its profit-sharing program, with all employees referred to as “owners” who have a stake in the success of the operation.

I thought of this management approach when news emerged that the B.C. government was offering public service unions a new kind of contract, with a five-year term and wage increases tied to improved economic growth.

The surprising thing is that unions are accepting the idea, even though provincial growth must exceed the government’s independent economic forecast council projections before it can take effect in a given year.

The generally non-militant Health Sciences Association was the first to recommend acceptance of a five-year agreement with only 5.5 per cent raises guaranteed.

Then they were joined by negotiators for 51,000 health and social services employees, represented by the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and other unions that have long been adversaries of the B.C.

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Liberals.

John Fryer, negotiator for the BCGEU going back to the epic battles with Social Credit governments and now a professor at University of Victoria, wasn’t impressed when he heard the news.

“These deals reflect what happens when public sector unions back the losing party in a provincial election,” he said.

“Union bargaining power takes a trip down the pooper.”

I think there’s more than that going on.

Perhaps today’s union leadership is beginning to accept that its wage, benefit and pension arrangements look pretty good compared to the harsh reality of private businesses competing in a global economy.

I asked Premier Christy Clark if this new approach is inspired by private-sector profit sharing.

She agreed that is the model.

“I think that’s a great principle for all of us to work from,” Clark said. “Until now, the

growth of public sector wages has been completely insulated from changes in the private sector.

And this is the first time we’ve ever been able to successfully link those two things. At this point it’s still a small increment wage growth, but it’s a big change, and I hope we can continue to build on it.”

From an employee perspective, it is indeed modest. If real gross domestic product increases one per cent beyond the independent forecast used in the provincial budget, employees get an additional half of one

per cent raise for that year.

Contrast this labour relations development with what’s happening on the federal scene.

A classic confrontation is brewing between the Harper government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada.

A key dispute is over sick days, which the government estimates are averaging 18 a year.

PSAC currently has 15 “bankable” sick days a year, which the union president refers to as a “negotiated right.”

It takes me back to my first union job, where I was warned never to take just one sick day.

We negotiated for two at a time, so always take two, the union rep told me. Implicit in this is the mindset that employees should give as little and take as much as possible.

Looking through my files each December for the B.C. story of the year, I consider what is likely to matter five or 10 years from now.

This partnership approach to building the provincial economy is my pick for 2013.

Salvation Army captains will be missed by community The Salvation Army and the citizens of Williams Lake and area will miss Captain Randy Kadonaga and his wife Claudine.

The well-liked captains are going into semi-retirement and the new replacement will be in town January.

Since their arrival in Williams Lake in July 2008 both Randy and Claudine have worked tirelessly to help those who need it and to keep the Salvation Army Ministry strong in Williams Lake and area.

Captain Randy states he would like to have stayed a little longer in his job but health concerns are playing a role in his decision to leave in the new year.

The good news is the couple

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

are going into a semi-retirement program and live in Likely, so we will probably see them around Williams Lake from time to time.

I asked him what his favourite memory was of his time as Salvation Army Captain in Wil-

liams Lake.

He quickly said that it was the generosity of the community that overwhelmed him — it is how the people here care for the less fortunate and this is how I think of Williams Lake.

Captain Randy says the heart of the Salvation Army, is to serve others and they certainly do that in the number of programs they operate in this community.

They have a ‘soup kitchen’ that offers much more than soup to those needing a meal.

There is a drop-in centre with pool table, games and a TV, and of course there is the thrift store.

The Salvation Army runs an addiction centre as well as having a food bank, and holding

a special dinner on Christmas Day. Captain Kadonaga says to help others is to be Christ-like and his personal goal is to help people as much as he can.

“I want to help spiritually because there is more to life that filling a stomach and having a roof overhead,” he says.

The Salvation Army in Williams Lake has about 49 regular faithful monthly volunteers along with many other volunteers as needed and Captain Randy says he could not get along without them.

He also said that there is a good fellowship of officers within The Salvation Army.

The affable captain was a member of the Williams Lake Rotary Club and members en-

joyed his sense of humour.

Captain Kadonaga says: “Thank you to Williams Lake for the support shown to Captains Randy and Claudine who wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.

The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16.”

Randy and Claudine, you will be missed in Williams Lake.

Thanks to both of you for making our community a better place!

I sincerely wish that all of you will have a good Christmas with lots of love and joy. May peace be with you.

Inmates help Santa’s Cariboo Chilcotin efforts Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Members of the Williams RCMP were out in full force Wednesday morning unloading a truckload of gifts and furniture, made by inmates, for boys and girls in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

Thanks to a partnership between the Punky Lake Wilderness Society and Corrections Services Canada, inmates from correction facilities around the province handcrafted enough beds, shelves, warm blankets, winter wear and toys to fill a large transport truck to the brim.

The goods are destined for First Nations communities in the Cariboo Chilcotin and other services organizations in Williams such as the Child Development Centre.

“This is the fifth shipment we’ve received but it’s the biggest by far,” said Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society executive director Sarah Jackman, as the truck pulled up to a warehouse on Mackenzie Avenue.

“When I visited with some of the inmates in October they were already excitedly planning for Christ-

Williams Lake RCMP members unload one of several beds hand-crafted by inmates for First Nations communities and local organizations.

mas.”

Some of the inmates — mostly males — have even been sewing star blankets and knitting hats and mitts.

“Who would have known they’d be great at sewing and knitting,” Jackman smiled.

And some companies, hearing about the project, got on board and donated mitts and toques as well.

A second truck with a flatbed contained stacks of hand-crafted garden sheds.

One, measuring eight by 16 feet was destined for the school at Yunesit’in (Stone Indian Band) and another for the

Anaham trapline.

Jackman said the program is only a year old.

“We just started talking about it last fall.”

Crediting Brian Lang, district director with Corrections Canada, with the idea, Jackman said Lang’s idea was to keep prisoners occupied in a good way.

“Brian wanted to provide them with skills they could use for employment and benefit communities that could use a hand by giving back to them.”

Jackman met Lang on an unrelated issue and he asked her if she would partner with him.

Message on mine has been consistent Last week, I spoke at a BC Chamber of Commerce event supporting the new prosperity project.

I delivered the same consistent message the city has had for a long time: We view the New Prosperity project as an opportunity to provide new jobs, training opportunities and enhanced economic activity for the city and the region, including First Nations communities.

Balancing economic development and environmental responsibility is possible and expected.

It is great to see the new banners showcasing local artists up around town.

The Community Arts Council of Williams Lake’s Branding the City with Art project encouraged local artists to submit their work.

The art chosen was printed on recycled material to create six new banner designs to beautify the city.

Thank you to Liliana Dragowska, the artists, and all those involved!

Congratulations to Pacific Coastal Airlines, who is celebrating 10 years of service to Williams Lake. They are an important service provider to the city and the region, with three

And congratulations to Pioneer Log Homes, who will star in their own reality TV program, Timber Kings, which premieres on Jan. 5.

The show will follow the log-home builders as they build their homes here in Williams Lake, take them apart, ship them to locations around the world, and then reconstruct them.

Dufour featured in Lived Experience Sage Birchwater Special to Tribune/Advisor Van Andruss, my stalwart writing companion down Lillooet way, has compiled yet another volume of Lived Experience.

Just in time (barely) for the Christmas season.

This is Van’s 13th such “labour of literary love” he has wrested from the ethers, compiling the work of his friends and colleagues since 2001 – one volume a year since that time.

For those who don’t know, Lived Experience: a literary journal from the Mountains of B.C. includes the writings of a number Cariboo authors and poets, as well as those from further afield in British Columbia and beyond.

The latest LE13 volume features the work of Lorne Dufour, Caterina Geuer, John Schreiber, Jools Andres and yours truly (Sage Birchwater).

Past editions have included local writ-

Author Van Andruss and lakecity poet and horse logger Lorne Dufour discussed Lorne’s contribution to LE13 last summer. ers Barb Coupe, Sally Bland, Gloria Atamanenko, Martin Comtois and Doug Gook.

Van Andruss starts off LE13 in his usual way with an informal seven-page detailed introduction of the authors and their work.

“To the Reader” is like Van’s Christmas letter, summarizing the highlights of his year, then rolling into the contents of the magazine, introducing his stable of authors and their work in a relaxed and seamless fashion.

Apart from my own

literary combobulation and the offerings of Caterina Geuer and Lorne Dufour, I haven’t seen the contents of LE13.

But I have seen the cover. It’s a knock-out.

Another amazing art piece by talented Luther Brigman of Lillooet.

Adding to the artwork inside the magazine is former Cariboo artist Lynda Higginbottom-Lord.

Other writers found in the pages include Bob Sarti, Dave Bouvier, Reina Le Baron, Howard Brown, Edye

Hanen, Alejandro Frid, Ken Wright, Rachel Reimer, Brian Hayden, Joram Piatigorsky, Toby Mueller, Koten Benson, Tim McNulty, Mary Morgan, Lisa Enquist, Christine Magliocco, Robert Sund and Jonathan Kerslake. Many of these are familiar

names to loyal Lived Experience readers.

While I haven’t seen the final product, I trust Van and his assembled team of layout, editorial, graphic design and proof reading personnel, Eleanor Wright, Kerry Coast, Meghan Fandrich and Susannah White.

I’m sure they will have created a literary gem we can all be proud of.

Those of us who contribute to the magazine are part of a team, and Van Andruss is the helmsman, the spirited conductor of the orchestra.

The eighth annual and first memorial TubaJohn Christmas Concert in tribute to the late founder John Sykes brought people together for Christmas music and singing. The event was held at St. Andrew’s United Church on Wednesday, Dec. 11 and featured performances by the Cariboo Tuba Christmas Brass group, Cariboo Men’s Choir, Quintet Plus, and a carol sing-a-long. Donations were raised for the Salvation Army and the TubaJohn Cariboo Festival bursaries for young musicians. Attendance was down a bit from other years due to a major snow storm but spirits were seasonally high say participants. John’s tuba stood on display in his honour.

REALTOR TIPS BURGLARY PREVENTION DURING THE HOLIDAYS • It is best not to leave a spare key outside, but if you must, choose a spot far from the front door, or better yet with a trustworthy neighbour.

• Invest in an alarm system, if you can’t afford one you can get official looking stickers for you doors and windows at the hardward store in the meantime.

• Most burglaries occur during the day when people are at work. Turn on a radio or tv to make it sound like someone is home • Use an automatic timer to turn on lights, radios or televisions on and off in realistic patterns.

• Make it look like you are home, stop delivery of mail and newspapers, and have someone shovel snow.

• Ensure the exterior of your home is well lit; a dark yard makes a home easy prey.

Many rural communities face the twin

demographic trends of youth out migration and an aging baby boomer population.

Succession is becoming a major issue in many rural communities, as aging baby boomers approach retirement with little in the way of a succession plan or successor.

If these trends are not proactively addressed many rural communities will suffer from the closure of their small businesses and the con-

tinued out migration of their youth. In an interconnected world, people can live and work almost anywhere.

As a result communities across B.C. are in a global competition for local talent.

Communities that are able to retain and attract a vibrant work force will likely be able to take advantage of the opportunities created by broadband internet access and more knowledge based job

opportunities.

To do communities must become places that are attractive to their younger citizens.

Through a survey, workshops, and a community project, Project Comeback will help us understand how we can respond to the needs of our younger citizens and become a place that people want to come (back) to.

The Forgotten Gift Well, just a few more days and it will be the most important day of the Christmas season. For many this season is one of joy, happiness, excitement and expectation as we focus on gifting and receiving, of food and more food, of parties, and getting reacquainted with people we see only a few times a year at best. For most, these are good times, with carols singing and with an atmosphere of good cheer all around.

Good times. But fleeting times.

The euphoria of the season does not last, does it? The parties are soon over, the joy of giving gifts quickly evaporates, the gifts received are put away or exchanged and the pleasure of receiving them quickly fades away with time. The good times with friends, along with the promises of “Let’s keep in touch” get erased from our memories as the new year rolls around and the routine of daily living takes over once again. The new year, which promised so much in our imagination and dreams, quickly becomes just like the past year.

Sounds despairing and depressing, doesn’t it? I don’t mean it to be that way though.

This is actually a great season, a season of potential! The joy

PARSONS PEN

BY GERRIT APPERLOO and happiness of the season can be ours for the rest of our lives!

We don’t have to go back to the routine of last year.

You see, this season we once again have our attention brought to the main event of Christmas – that of a Gift sent from heaven for us, with our name on it!

This is an enduring Gift, one that will last and give increasing joy to our lives if we accept that Gift.

The Gift is Jesus, the one who came to save us, to bring us life and exceeding joy.

This Gift is The Saviour who

helps those who, for example, are abusers and heals those who have been abused in one way or the other; the One who cleanses those who sinned sexually before or during the marriage and restores the relationships; the One who releases the addicted from their addictions; the One who restores families torn apart by anger, abandonment and other destructive actions; the One who loves when no one else loves.

Jesus is the lasting Gift that is available for everyone who wants him. Whether we have never known him or whether we have simply wandered away or turned our back on him, Christmas is the time when our attention is drawn to him and his grace and mercy for us.

He is the Gift waiting for you to pick up and open. If you do, great joy will flood your heart and your life will be changed forever.

Need help? Call one of the churches and talk to the pastors.

They will be glad to help you pick up and open the Gift and so receive life.

May this Christmas be the greatest one you ever had. And may your life from this point on be filled with everlasting joy.

Spread joy, not germs, this Christmas holiday season Kevin Touchet Special to Tribune/Advisor For many the holiday season means a time to enjoy good company and good food.

As we spread the joy of the season we need to be extra careful to not spread food-borne illness causing bacteria.

These simple food safety tips will help you prepare a safe and tasty holiday meal: Store and thaw safely: Keep fresh turkey refrigerated no longer than three days before cooking.

There are three ways to thaw frozen turkey in its wrapper: •Under cold running water (one hour per pound) •In a clean sink full of cold water, changing the water every couple of hours

•In the fridge (five hours per pound) •Thawing poultry at room temperature is not recommended because it allows harmful bacteria to grow.

•Keep other items, especially those with meat, seafood, dairy, eggs or other moist, protein-rich foods chilled until served.

Clean carefully: Wash your hands, utensils and work surfaces well before prep work begins.

Once the preparation work is done, clean surfaces in hot soapy water, rinse, then sanitize.

Sanitizing can be done with a diluted bleach solution (30 ml of bleach per gallon of water) that is allowed to sit for two minutes.

Wash your hands well after cleaning the cutting board and before and after working

Evelyn Roberts April 17, 1931 November 1, 2013

with any new menu items.

Avoid cross contamination: Store raw meat away from food that is ready-to-eat, including fruit and vegetables (and be sure to wash these thoroughly before serving).

Turkeys should be wrapped well and stored on the lowest shelf of your fridge or in the meat keeper to keep blood and juices from contaminating other food.

Ensure only clean utensils and cutting boards are used. Use a separate cutting board to prepare raw meat.

Wash hands after handling any raw foods and minimize hand contact during final preparation steps.

Cook well: For turkey, set the oven at no lower than 350 °F (177 °C) and cook for about 20 minutes per

pound.

Use a good meat thermometer to measure the turkey’s internal temperature and ensure it’s safe to eat.

All parts of the bird including stuffing should be at least 165°F (74oC) when removed from the oven.

Health Canada recommends an internal temperature of 185°F (85 °C) at the thickest part of the meat as additional assurance.

Check the temperature in several places to be sure. Cooked food should be kept at 140 °F (60 °C) while waiting to serve.

Refrigerate: Chill food immediately af-

ter returning from the store and soon after dinner is complete. Perishable food should be placed in the refrigerator within two hours of being removed from the oven.

Refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or in a freezer at 0°F (-18 °C).

Health Canada recommends refrigerating leftovers for no more then two to three days.

Put them in the freezer in order to keep them longer.

Have a happy and healthy holiday season!

B.C. sets new records for lumber exports to China After 10 months, the value of B.C.’s softwood lumber exports have broken a new record, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Dec. 13.

“It’s encouraging to see the value of lumber exports to our top three markets have significantly increased over recent years,” Thomson said.

“I’m especially thrilled that we’ve again broken new re-

cords in China, it’s further evidence that all our hard work in that market is paying off.”

He said the increased demand for B.C.’s softwood lumber products translates to job security in B.C.’s mills and B.C.’s woods.

To the end of October 2013, the value of total softwood lumber exports to China reached $1.17 billion — exceeding the previous record

set in 2011 when softwood lumber exports to China totalled $1.1 billion.

B.C.’s October shipments of lumber to China also broke new records for monthly volume (865,000 cubic metres) and value ($145.5 million).

The value of lumber exports to Japan and the U.S. to the end of October also have surpassed recent years’ totals.

exports to the U.S. are at $2.13 billion (compared to $2 billion for all of 2012), and to Japan at $703 million (compared to $674 million for all of 2012).

The U.S., China and Japan are B.C.’s top three markets for softwood lumber.

The increase in value reflects both higher shipment volumes to these markets in 2013 as well as increased lumber prices.

Thomson led a trade mission of more than 25 senior forestry executives

to Japan and China in October. Premier Christy Clark returned from her 2013 Jobs and Trade Mission to Asia earlier this month.

Council of Forest Industries president James Gorman said the increase in softwood lumber exports is a true indicator that the B.C. forest sector is on the road to recovery.

“This is also indicative of our ongoing efforts to build stronger ties to Asia and enhance B.C.’s position as the Pacific Gateway.”

Young players battle at Williams Lake Atom House Tournament Greg Sabatino Staff Writer

Ten teams converged at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex over the weekend for the Williams Lake Atom House Tournament.

Joining local teams the Williams Lake Purple Predators, the WL Red Warriors, the WL Green Mystic Dragons, the WL Blue Ice Dawgs and the WL Orange Ankle Biters were out-of-town teams from Vanderhoof, Prince George, Quesnel, Mackenzie and 100 Mile House.

All of the teams played three round-robin games each, before being seeded heading into Sunday’s playoff matchups.

The top two Williams Lake teams — the Purple Predators and the Ice Dawgs — were pitted against one another in the bronze-medal match Sunday after both teams went a perfect three wins and no losses during the round robin.

After a scoreless first period the Purple Predators’ Kyle Wiggins lit the lamp first to put his team up 1-0, before teammate Owen Kritz extended the lead to 2-0 near the midway point of the second period. Wiggins added incheshis second of the game shortly after, before the Ice Dawgs began to find their stride.

Back-to-back markers from Shamus McGuire cut the Ice Dawgs deficit to one goal heading into the third period, where Marissa Ramsay tied it up at 3-3 with 13 minutes remaining. Just three minutes later McGuire potted his hat trick goal to give the Ice Dawgs a 4-3 lead, before Ryan Bauer, with just under eight minutes to play, put his team up 5-3.

Wiggins collected his hat trick goal late in the period to close out the scoring in the 5-4 decision.

Williams Lake Stampeders captain Aaron Zurak (right) and sponsorship and marketing manager Calvin Dubray deliver goods to Salvation Army Cpt. Randy Kadonaga following the team’s food drive Friday.

Stampeders help ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders delivered a truck-load of food, toys and cash for the Salvation Army Food Bank following its ‘Help the Stampeders Stamp Out Hunger’ food drive in the community last week.

At Friday night’s game against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks the Stampeders asked their fans to bring a non-perishable food item to the game.

In exchange fans were given a free program filled with multiple chances to win prizes, including a week-long Coy Cup pass won by Donna Robbins and a Stampeders’ prize pack, won by Susan Gibbon.

Team members, including team captain Aaron Zurak and sponsorship and marketing manager Calvin Dubray, delivered the goods Saturday afternoon.

Dubray said the team would like to thank the fans for making its firstever food drive a huge success.

“It went really well,” he said. “We took more than 12 big boxes of food over there and our fans did a great job of supporting it so we need to thank them for that.”

Additionally, the

Stampeders donated the money they raised from program sales.

Friday’s game was slated to be the last Stampeders’ home game of the regular season,

however, they will make up the Saturday, Dec. 7, home game that was missed versus the Houston Luckies.

The Luckies’ bus broke down during the

team’s trip south to face the Stampeders and the Tomahawks, so the game has been tentatively scheduled to be played Sunday, Jan. 19, at 3:30 p.m. in Williams Lake.

Bantam T-wolves secure home ice The Williams Lake Bantam Rep Timberwolves stole two victories from the Prince George Bantam Cougars on the road Saturday to secure home-ice advantage at league playoffs in the new year.

Saturday morning Williams Lake skated

away with a convincing 7-2 victory.

In front of a large hometown crowd the Timberwolves scored early and never looked back to dominate the game. Daine Dubois and William Paynton led the way for Williams Lake with three points each,

while Hayden Lyons picked up the win between the pipes.

Later in the afternoon the two teams clashed again with Williams Lake icing an impressive 10-3 win.

The T-wolves’ goals came early and often as Williams Lake skated

into the second period with a 5-0 lead.

Dubois had another solid outing for the Twolves collecting seven points (four goals, three assists) while Paynton had five points (two goals, three assists). Corey Loring also added a pair of goals in the win-

ning effort with Lyons, again, recording the win in goal.

The Timberwolves will now have a short break over the holidays, before returning to the ice New Year’s Day at the Kamloops International Bantam Hockey Tournament.

Cariboo Cougars to face Notre Dame Argos Horoscope to open Mac’s Midget Tournament The Cariboo Cougars know who, and when, they play at the Mac’s Midget tournament in Calgary over the Christmas break.

The Cougars, along with Williams Lake’s Colton Thomas and Chase Dubois, will open their tournament Dec. 27 at 4:15 p.m. against the Notre Dame Argos from the Saskatchewan Midget League.

The Argos will be a tough opening test for

the Cougars as they currently occupy first place in their league.

The following day the Cats face the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs from Alberta at 1:30 p.m. On Dec. 29 the Cougars meet one of their arch rivals from the BC league in the Okanagan Rockets at 10:45 a.m.

Additionally, any player interested in playing rep or rep development this season must be registered by Jan. 15, 2014.

bining of age groups is or is not necessary,” he said.

The other night I saw some chicken thighs sitting in the corner of the freezer and as I had not had fowl for a while, I latched onto three thighs.

I came up with an idea to debone the thighs and stuff them, but with what?

Back into the fridge and after shuffling some of the contents around I saw some feta cheese that would be good for the stuffing.

In the back of the fridge I also see some red wine garlic jelly.

If I spread some of this jelly over the deboned thighs it would taste good.

Now I go into the cupboard and find some Mediterranean vegetable spice in a grinder, so lets add a little of that to the cheese to kick it up a notch.

Ken’s Country Kitchen

Then a little garlic powder along with some ground pepper and a little seasoned sea salt to complete the mixture.

I then pounded the chicken thighs as flat as I could, stuffed them with my creative mixture, rolled them in a little flower and put them into some olive oil and butter in a medium hot pan.

Cooking time was about 10 minutes.

This turned out to be pretty darn tasty along with a quick salad topped with homemade dressing and a nice slice of plum tomato that helped give a little extra flavour and colour to the dish.

I realize not all people are creative cookers and a lot of people do not even like to cook but do so because they have to eat.

When cooking be-

comes a chore it is not fun anymore.

So for those of you who have not cooked before and would like try your hand at roasting a chicken here are a few tips.

Just basic steps, no secret recipe stuff.

For roasting a whole bird, remove the giblets, neck and any fat from the chicken cavity.

Season the bird inside and out with salt and pepper. You can stuff the bird for a little extra zap.

Try putting in a split onion, a cut up apple, a cut up orange perhaps and then you can add some garlic cloves, fresh sage leaves or some fresh twigs of rosemary for some extra flavour.

For all birds I roast, I like to put a little flavoured butter between the breast and thigh meat.

Chop some green onions fine, and mix with dried tarragon or some oregano then blend it together with some softened butter. Lift up the skin and put some of the flavoured butter on the breast and the thighs.

You can also rub this

mixture into the skin of the bird.

Put the bird in a roasting pan, lightly oil the bottom of the pan so the bird doesn’t stick when cooking. You can had a cup of juice, white wine or chicken broth to the pan. Basting the bird while cooking also helps.

Take some of the juices and spoon it over the chicken. Helps keep it moist and gives a nice colour When the chicken is done, prick the thigh with a fork. If the juices run clear the chicken is done.

For a three-to-four pound bird it should take anywhere from 90 to 135 minutes to cook and if you want to be sure insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh. The temperature should read between 175 to 180 degrees.

Simple huh!

You don’t have to be creative to cook down home basic fare. Enjoy life and cooking.

Bye for now and Gooood Cooking.

Grizzly study sheds further light on bear numbers generated population estimates for all areas of B.C. The model does not suggest any change in grizzly bear numbers, but does provide improved information and increased understanding about factors influencing grizzly bear density.

The model predicted a population of 13,131 bears.

This prediction is one factor considered in estimating populations.

Other data sources include field inventory work using DNA sampling (typically gathered via grizzly bear

B.C. Building Code gets new energy efficiency regulations The new energy efficiency requirements for the BC Building Code come into effect today, Dec. 20, reports government.

Developers will have a choice of energy efficiency standards for complex buildings (Part 3). This includes large residential, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings. It does not include houses or small buildings.

Developers can choose to use either the 2011 National Energy Code for Buildings or ASHRAE 90.1 (2010), creating greater flexibility for the construction industry: • Adoption of the National Energy Code for Buildings harmonizes B.C. with the national code development system and addresses the climatic and construction practices in the

province.

• ASHRAE is an older, well-respected standard. Using ASHRAE in B.C. will require the use of Canadian climate data and ventilation rates from the BC Building Code.

On average, each standard can increase energy savings up to 15 per cent over the previous requirements, depending on the type of building.

Both standards are also associated with improved comfort for building residents.

The B.C. government adopted the new energy efficiency requirements in April 2013.

Taken together, these data sources helped inform the most recent provincial grizzly bear population of approximately 15,000 bears.

While the study was published Wednesday, ministry wildlife biologists used predictions in the model alongside other available data when making grizzly bear management decisions in 2012 and 2013.

A study of grizzly bear populations released Wednesday provides further insight into populations in B.C., while confirming that provincial wildlife biologists continue to refine estimates with the best available science to ensure harvest levels are sustainable.

The peer-reviewed study, entitled “Predicting grizzly bear density in western North America” is co-authored by two provincial wildlife biologists and is published in the science journal, PLOS ONE. The predictions are based on a model that

higher than policy recommends, hunting opportunities were reduced.

Grizzly bear harvest rates in British Columbia are set conservatively and well below what the population can sustain.

The study provides insights into grizzly bear habitat and population.

Some of the model’s findings suggest: • Grizzly bears are more abundant in nonforested areas probably because the plants that

they eat are more likely to grow in open environments.

• Confirmation of earlier studies that showed greater salmon availability leads to larger numbers of grizzly bears.

• Grizzly bear density is lower where black bears are present.

• The North Cascades, an area where grizzly bears have been largely absent for many decades, could support several hundred grizzly bears both north and south of the Canada-

USA border.

• The number of bears killed by people was not related to population density which suggests that current levels of mortality do not measurably reduce population size.

• There is a lower density of bears in areas with high human density and in flat areas with low rainfall.

The study released today reaffirms that grizzly populations in B.C. are being sustainably managed, and with the best available

science. To read the full report visit: http:// dx.plos.org/10.1371/ journal.pone.0082757 Quick Facts: • Approximately 35 per cent of British Columbia is closed to grizzly hunting.

• Historically, hunters have killed around 300 grizzly bears a year out of an estimated population of 15,000, or a two per cent harvest rate.

• The grizzly bear hunt is the most intensively managed hunt of any species in B.C.

SIMPLICITY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME PLAN NUMBER 10-2-219 Simplicity is the name of the game with this cozy two-bedroom cottage. Designed as a recreation home, the design provides all the necessities in a compact package with a dash of style.

The covered entry, always a bonus in bad weather, leads into a compact foyer with a coat cupboard directly ahead. The hot-water tank located in this closet will dry damp outerwear quickly.

To the foyer’s left is the living room, warmed by an electric fireplace and boasting large windows that overlook the front garden. A dining table will fit neatly by the large window adjacent to the kitchen pantry.

The kitchen, open to the dining area and living room, will enjoy plenty of natural light through a window over the double sink.

The U-shaped counter configuration promises to save steps for the cook.

With two bedrooms, there’s an extra one for guests or family. A planter box brightens the window of the front bedroom.

Completing the one-floor lay-out is a threepiece bath, a linen closet and a cupboard for the washer and dryer.

Exterior finishes include horizontal siding, with board-and-batten accents in the gables and painted trim.

This home measures 30 feet wide and 26 feet deep for a total of 738 square feet of living space.

Plans for design 10-2-219 are available for $495 (set of 5), $556 (set of 8) and $594 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 7% P.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.
