said recently during an interview at the station. “I can remember 1 my first day. I’ve had hundreds of partners in all these stations.”

During Rupp’s career he’s been stabbed and shot at.

One time the brakes failed on the ambulance he was driving and he had to ride it out by driving into a fence and a field.

Three years ago he fell down a flight of stairs transferring a patient and has never completely recovered.

He injured both knees, an el-

bow and had a concussion.

He would have liked to work until 65, but said being a paramedic is a young man’s game.

“I think we should be getting people in at 22 when they have some maturity and plan on a 25year career,” he said.

Rupp, however, is leaving something he’s loved with a passion.

“I have a lot of emotions going through me right now,” Rupp said. “I have been lucky to have had this career.”

The one thing he is most proud of is that he has never been late for work once.

“I never use the word job, it’s been a career and more than a pay cheque.”

Recalling some of the “wreckage” he’s observed in emergency situations, Rupp said you can never un-see what you’ve seen.

“It gets better with time, but it never goes away.”

NEWS

Rupp at peace with retirement from BC Ambulance Service Continued From Page A1 Many times he has witnessed pain and suffering, he said.

“You see people with body parts missing, copious amounts of blood, and you always want to treat them like your mother, your father, your brother or your sister, with compassion.”

There but for the grace of God go I, he added.

Rupp has met people in horrible situations and years later will run into them somewhere.

They will ask if he remembers them, he will nod and tell them they look great.

“People trust us,” he said.

When a mother walks up, she doesn’t know the paramedic, but she sees the uniform and hands over her newborn, unbreathing child, expecting the best for her child.

One of his keepsake photographs depicts Rupp riding in a helicopter en route to Nemiah Valley to help a woman in labour.

They flew out there, waited, and when nothing happened, left to fly back to Williams Lake.

Moments later her water broke, so they turned around, went back and delivered the baby on the chief’s desk in the band office.

“That was number 14,” Rupp said of helping deliver babies.

Distances can be a challenge in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

The BC Ambulance station in Williams Lake covers the second largest geographical

Assistant chief paramedic Steve Rupp en route to Nemiah Valley to help deliver a baby.

Steve Rupp when he arrived in Williams Lake outside the old BC Ambulance station on South Seventh Avenue. The building is still there, it’s now a mechanical shop.

Paramedic Steven Rupp beside the Delta Olds 88, or the “Ghostbuster Car,” in Princeton, he used to transport patients to Vancouver. “It was a really neat car to drive,” he recalled.

area in the province.

Distances include Tatla Lake down to Nemiah in the west and out to the Cariboo Mountains, Yanks Peak and even up to the highlands looking over to McBride to the north east.

It covers as far south as Black Dome, the old gold mine, to Lac La Hache and all points south east.

“If we go to Nemiah it may be four hours before my partner and I see our patient,” Rupp said. “As paramedics we alway talk about that first hour being crucial.”

Normally they travel by road, sometimes by a twin-engine chopper out of Kamloops, and occasionally on a jet plane out of Vancouver.

“I have the ability to use a floatplane, dog sled, snowmobile or helicopter. Whatever it

takes to get to my patient or get my patient out.”

Once he attended a plane crash at 108 Mile where two planes collided in mid-air and fell into a building supply centre.

On another occasion, he attended a bus crash in the winter.

People were injured, but not seriously, and within five minutes there was another bus crash where the injuries were more serious.

“I’ve done five bus crashes,” he recalled.

Originally from Kelowna, Rupp has lived and worked in Williams Lake for 30 years.

In the last 16 he has been assistant chief and is finishing off his career as the acting chief.

“The guy I trained 12 years ago will be my replacement,” he smiled.

Not that he’s going to be singing the theme from the Lion King, but it really is about the circle of life with young people coming through, he joked.

“I’ve been privileged.

We’ve had three young recruits come through here in the last six months.”

Praising the Williams Lake fire department, Cariboo Search and Rescue and the RCMP, Rupp said all the agencies paramedics work with are exceptional.

“We’re very blessed in Williams Lake,” he said. “If the average person knew how the people in Horsefly or Likely will come out in the middle of the night to help the BC Ambulance service.”

It takes an hour to get to Likely, and if someone’s bleed-

ing or having respiration problems, having someone there to guide the paramedics in is crucial.

“They aren’t trained to the paramedic level, but they are trained to the help-people level.”

His generation of paramedics is the first of their kind, he suggested.

The next generation will be the second generation.

“You have to be a Type A personality to do this job. You can’t be the one asking questions, you have to take the lead.”

Rupp said his wife Susan has been an absolute blessing.

She’s kept the phone by the bed at night in case something happens, like it did the night he was stabbed.

“My retirement is about her too,” he said.

The Rupps plan to stay in Williams Lake and will figure out how to continue caring for the community.

For sure he’ll do some guiding, particularly with the Wounded Warriors – soldiers who have served in the Afghan war, and he loves fishing, hunting and woodworking.

“I’m turning in my paramedic’s license, I’m not going to do this part-time,” he insisted.

Rupp has seen “huge” changes in the BC Ambulance Service and none of them are good, he added, “I’ve made a conscious decision I don’t want to be part of those changes,” he said.

It won’t be easy financially for him and Susan, but they have made the decision and are at peace with it. he added.

Timber Kings series to shine spotlight on Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It is no longer a secret that Pioneer Log Homes is going to be featured on television in a 10-episode series on HGTV Canada.

Pioneer Log Homes general manager Andre Chevigny told city council Tuesday his company will be showcased in a docu-reality titled Timber Kings.

The show is great news for Williams Lake, Chevigny said.

“It’s great because it paints Williams Lake in an excellent light. It’s really highly regarded and it paints the six personalities at Pioneer Log Homes as real heroes in the international world.”

The company builds houses for people in destinations like England, Scotland, U.S., across Canada, Germany, all over the place.

Houses range from “huge” mansions to smaller buildings.

“We wanted the show to have variety of what we do, not just the big mansions that we have a niche for.”

The show will air in Canada first and although he couldn’t disclose exactly where, Chevigny said it will be aired in numerous other countries.

“That’s up to the broadcaster to announce that, which they will probably do after they start to air the show in Canada.”

Chevigny said he and his brother Bryan Reid Sr., founder and owner of the company, are proud of the show.

“This show really puts that in the light,” he said.

“The show has lots of humour in it. Our crews are always a little haywire when we’re out on the road and working at the sites.”

Chevigny encouraged locals to view the HGTV Canada website to watch previews of the show.

Coun. Sue Zacharias congratulated Chevigny and Reid, saying the announcement is something that makes her proud.

“You really have a lot to offer Williams Lake,” she said.

Chevigny told council the show’s produc-

ers sought the company out.

They picked six in North America and six were log homes, so that really put us out on the forefront,” he said.

“Then in 2010, Pioneer Log Homes did two houses for Straight Makeover Home Edition and during that time HGTV Canada was working with us.

My brother Bryan was a big part, that was kind of his mission for about six months to work with them.”

Chevigny said the series will shed some light on how the company operates.

“When they watch the show people will understand what we do.

Even my wife the other day watched a show with me and she said, ‘wow, even I’m learning more.’

It’s interesting and the guys really take their time to explains things. It’s really cool.”

Scenes will leap from the Sugar Cane or Soda Creek site over to Arkansas or Germany in the next scene.

“Williams Lake is a good community and it looks good on TV,” Reid added.

Significance of Christmas often lost

Happy holidays and ‘Prosperity’ in the New Year

W

ith all the Santas, jingle bells, elves and whatevers, along with the reluctance of some to recognize the religious origins of the holiday, the significance of Christmas is often lost in the glitz. True, “sharing” is emphasized and we are encouraged to give, and that’s a plus, but the Prince of Peace does get short shrift.

Christmas celebrates the birthday of Jesus of Nazareth, believed to be the Son of God. He French spent his short Connection time on earth Diana French challenging the religious, social and economic structures of the day, and was crucified by the government for being an insurrectionist.

Two thousand years later, those who challenge religious, social, and economic structures are still considered insurrectionists.

They aren’t put to death, at least in democratic countries, so I guess that’s progress, but now something else may be happening.

Just as some governments, including ours, are turning into Scrooges, one religious leader with considerable global clout is doing the opposite.

Pope Francis is not only moving away from the traditional pomp and ceremony usually attached to the top Roman Catholic office, he is campaigning for peace, social justice and democracy. He has been named newsmaker of the year not only by Time Magazine, but also by The Advocate, a magazine that promotes Gay rights. Pretty impressive for someone who has been in office for such a sort time.

Pope Francis can hardly be dismissed as a left-wing troublemaker, so he should be a formidable champion, 18 per cent of the world’s Christians are Catholic and the church is represented in most, if not all, counties.

Many people, Christian and otherwise, like what he is saying and doing. There will be naysayers for sure, but Christmas is an appropriate time to wish him well in his endeavours. And on that note, Merry Christmas to all and have a happy holiday too.

Our Viewpoint

The holiday season is upon us Whether or not you are ready for it, Christmas has finally arrived.

The food bank has been filled to the brim with the efforts of many local community groups.

The doors to the schools are closed for the year, answering the prayers of students and teachers alike.

And the snow just keeps piling up, making it a beautiful white Christmas here in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

For those outdoor enthusiasts with time to spare, Mt. Timothy Ski Area is just over an hour away and is experiencing some of the best ski conditions we’ve seen here in recent years.

Alternatively, if downhill isn’t your thing, Bull Mountain and the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club would love to see families on the trails over the holidays.

With more than 28 kilometres of groomed cross country ski trails in a beautiful mixed forest setting only 20 minutes from town, and night skiing, Bull Mountain is truly one of our area’s

real gems.

We’ve also been hearing of great ice fishing at our local lakes, which is always a fun family outing some time during the holidays.

The Cariboo Memorial Recreational Complex will be closed at 2 p.m. Christmas Eve and through Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The complex will also be closed at 2 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, however, will be open from noon to 3:30 p.m. on Wrestling Day. Christmas is a time to spend with family and friends, and to celebrate the spirit of Christmas.

For those in our community who are working or on call through the holidays, whether that’s at the hospital, police station, or highway crews, we thank you.

And, if you’re indulging in some Christmas cheer this season, please do not drink and drive. There are many alternatives available and we hope everyone stays safe over the holidays.

hristmas in the Cariboo-Chilcotin is a special time. We’re already lucky to live in these beautiful surroundings, but they seem to be more magical this time of year. Maybe it’s the falling snow, or the chillier temperatures that keep us cozy inside with the ones we love.

For me, it’s a time to spend with family and friends as we enjoy sharing a meal, gifts and MLA memories from Musings Christmas past.

Donna Barnett It’s a time to reflect on the year that was, and also look ahead to the future.

This year, I was privileged to be re-elected as your MLA and to continue raising your issues and concerns in Victoria. And as we look ahead to 2014, I am wishing for much ‘Prosperity’ for our region.

The importance of the Prosperity Mine cannot be understated, especially after the devastation of the mountain pine beetle epidemic. This $1.5 billion dollar project will provide a big boost to our local economy. It will create about 700 construction jobs, and once the mine is up and running it will create about 500 full-time direct jobs and 1,280 indirect jobs.

My colleague, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, recently travelled to Ottawa to send a strong message about the value of this project to a rural community like ours.

Let’s hope that all of our efforts behind this project pay off in 2014 and beyond.

In the meantime, I hope all of you get to enjoy a relaxing holiday break. If you’re going to be travelling on our roads, don’t forget to check the DriveBC website ahead of time. There, you’ll find up-to-date road conditions so you can plan the best route.

Please drive with care to ensure other motorists get to their destinations safely as well. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Lobbying shows disrespect Editor: To continue to lobby for the acceptance of the proposed Prosperity Mine shows a lack of respect for the findings of the federal panel, for the Tsilhqot’in First Nation, and for those of us who took part in the panel hearings.

Taseko Mines Ltd. had every opportunity to put forward their data and findings to the federal panel.

The hearings were, in fact, delayed for several months over the winter while Taseko provided information requested by the panel.

The presenters waited through the spring until the hottest days of summer before the hearings took place in Williams Lake.

The subject of the tailings facility, which would have submerged Little Fish Lake, a 400 foot high containment dam, and a “containment strat-

egy” to mitigate the effects of the heavy metals that would be produced by the mine, were all serious issues that existed with the highly flawed proposal by Taseko Mines.

And this was only one of many concerns with this project.

The Federal Panel was very fair, respectful, and very thorough.

Their report accurately reflects the testimony heard over the summer months by presenters and various qualified professionals and legal councils.

Taseko should accept their findings and focus on making their other mines environmentally safe.

What the report by the federal panel also signifies is that projected economic benefits are not sufficient reason to allow a potentially destructive project to proceed.

These are the same scenarios

enfolding with the selling and promoting of the Northern Gateway Project, the pipelines and “unconventional” natural gas production through hydraulic fracturing.

The lure of high-paying jobs, and vast infusions of cash into the communities involved in the petroleum bonanza are the only selling points for these potentially disastrous products.

I have worked in the tourism and recreation industry for the past dozen years, and this is a totally green, sustainable future industry, the natural expression of what represents British Columbia.

If the polluting, non-sustainable industries that pose serious risks and dangers to the environment, are allowed to have their way, we will not have the land and waterways that now exist.

Michael Atwood Chimney Lake

Shunning and bullying two sides of the same coin Editor: In response to Ervin Charleyboy’s statement about being shunned for his views on the New Prosperity Mine, I would like to offer my observations.

On Nov. 19 I experienced a very sudden and unexpected collapse while snowshoeing.

The help and support I received deserves a huge sled full of roses to the following groups and individuals.

To Barb Lucas for her concern and sending a quilt into the woods for me; the Ambulance Team and especially the one that walked into the forest to find me.

To Search and Rescue for hauling me out in their sled (which was no easy feat through the dense forest), and finally to my snowshoeing buddies Bette, Joanne, Linda, Pat, Louise and Wendy for all your care and concern.

I can’t say enough about all these caring individuals. You are all heroes.

Social Planning Council eyes the future Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Social Planning Council (SPC) is excited to continue working with city council, said president Sharon Taylor during a presentation to council Tuesday evening, Dec. 17.

Working with other local stakeholders, the SPC provides a perspective in discussions about economic, social and environmental development in the community, Taylor said.

“Through us the council has access already to an active, involved work of citizens already meeting and discussing issues in town.”

It seems a natural step for the two groups to share information with each other, she added.

During 2013 the council’s main focus has been in three areas — poverty reduction, particularly in terms of a living wage campaign, community collaboration and networking, and retention and succession of residents in the area.

“The living wage campaign is preparing to go to the next level,” Taylor said. “We will be starting a community discussion about what the term living wage means and how the community as a whole benefits from better economic security for all the people in it.”

250-392-2331

agree, we come from a wide variety of backgrounds and a wide variety of vision.”

Disagreement can in fact be collaborative, Taylor said.

Networking can help the community understand other viewpoints, explore new ways of doing things and consider the impact one sector has on another before any damage is done.

Taylor said in 2014 the SPC hopes to meet with city council in public consultation regarding council’s plans on policy issues.

Mayor Kerry Cook said council looks forward to working with the SPC.

Issues of retention and succession are common topics around many community tables, Taylor told council.

“I sit on six different community tables and it comes up consistently. Within that conversation are other conversations about daycare, skills training and adult literacy.”

There are no common causes or simple solutions, so the SPC specializes in difficult conversations about where people want to see Williams Lake and area moving in the next two years, five years, and 10 years down the road.

“You see that those links are there,” McGregor said. “When you have some of those further discussions in regards to some of the on-street parking or lack of onstreet parking and the whole process of the snow removal, that’s one of those questions, along with others that need to be part of the discussion when you talk about the development of the downtown core.”

More than 30 individuals, groups and organizations support the efforts of the SPC through paid memberships, with many more attending monthly meetings.

“There’s no requirement to be a member to attend our meetings,” Taylor said.

Nearly 300 people receive the weekly updates sent out by the Knodel, and the SPC blog receives 1,000 hits a month.

“That’s pretty good for a community this size. That means a lot of information is going out to a lot people,” Taylor added.

NEWS

Community shows generosity this holiday Christmas time It was another successful Christmas Wish Breakfast this week at the Ramada to benefit children in need.

This wonderful event grows in numbers and generosity every year.

Many thanks to everyone who donated, and hats off to the Child Development Centre, the Williams Lake Rotary Club, the Ramada, and all of the volunteers who help make this such a great event!

Our community’s generosity also made the fifth annual Hospital Trust’s Christmas Gala its most successful ever, raising $70,000 for a new mammography machine.

I am absolutely amazed, and wish to congratulate the Hospital Trust on this very successful fundraiser.

Last week, I attended the 19th Annual Aboriginal Education Conference to take part in the workshop

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook entitled “Building Belonging Through Remembering, Recovery and Reconciling.”

Along with Chief Fred Robbins and School District 27 staff, we shared our successes with the St. Joseph’s Mission commemoration project.

We offered ideas on how to create opportunities for non-First Nations to participate and deepen their understanding of the impact of residential schooling on both First Nations and non-First Nations communities.

We also focused on strategies to bring First Nations and non-First

Nations adults and youth together in an effort to build a true sense of belonging for all in communities and schools.

Williams Lake’s Truth and Reconciliation event is truly history-making.

It began with Chief Robbins’ vision, and School District 27 has made the groundbreaking decision to develop new local history curriculum for Kindergarten through Grade 12.

This sets a very positive precedent for developing a meaningful understanding of our First Nations, and I am very proud to be mov-

Marie Sharpe tradition

ing forward toward true reconciliation.

There will be another resource for children in our community with autism next year. TRU residential construction students, along with the Williams Lake Construction Association, will build an autism centre at the Child Development Centre.

By working together, the university, the CDC, and School District 27 leveraged a $95,000 grant from the John Gordon Autism Foundation.

The students will benefit from the handson experience, and our children and community will benefit from the

new centre.

This is a perfect example of the power of partnership to make great things happen!

At this time of year I would like to thank our businesses, who so generously donate all year round, and say a special thank you to all of our volunteers, who go above and beyond to make Williams Lake a great place to live.

From my family to yours, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, full of joy, hope, love, and peace.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Christmas is for relaxing and enjoying time with your family.

The holiday season is the perfect time to sit and read with your family. Children love it when their parents read to them.

By reading together you will create strong bonds and wonderful memories.

Books make meaningful gifts that will entertain long after the holiday decorations have been put away.

Students edge teachers 7-6 in overtime Greg Sabatino Staff Writer With the perennial Fourth Annual Lake City Hockey Classic teachers versus students game head-to-head matchup tilting at two games to one in the students’ favour, this year, the teachers were desperately seeking a win.

The students — Lake City secondary’s female hockey players — crushed all hope of that happening in dramatic fashion, potting the winning goal in sudden-death overtime to edge the teachers, 7-6, and to go up three to one in the series.

“They’re pretty pushy,” Falcons’ player Naddie Hordiuk said of her teachers.

“But it’s really a lot of fun,” added her teammate, Cassie Hoffman.

Students from LCSS piled into the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex last Wednesday filling the stands in anticipation of the annual matchup.

But it was the teachers who struck first as Terry Duff and Mike Wilson gave the teachers an early 2-0 lead.

The girls, however, answered back with both Callissa Broomfield and Alexis Hemond finding the twine on teachers’ netminder, Morley Wilson.

Deadlocked at 2-2 in the second period the teachers extended their lead to two goals. Grant Gustafson scored first, before Duff added his second on student goaltender Bailey Schick to put the teachers up 4-2.

The students, again, evened it up at 4-4 after Sarah Austin and Broomfield, with her second, both scored on a visibly tiring teacher squad. Duff would collect a hat trick with just over two minutes left in the period to send the teachers up 5-4 heading into the final frame.

There, Broomfield tied it up early for the students, before Alena Mayer scored what appeared

Duff had other plans — taking the puck down the ice with one minute remaining to send the game to overtime.

But Mayer, again, on a setup from Cassie Hogman, repeated her third-period brilliance to give the students the 7-6 win.

LCSS principal Gregg Gaylord, along with several other members of School District 27’s administration, participated in the contest.

He said both staff and students enjoyed the LCSHC. “The stands were full of enthusiastic fans who cheered all the participants,” he said. “The girls

certainly deserved the hard-fought 7-6 overtime win.”

He added the event is a great way to cap off this part of the school year before the holidays.

“It’s a fantastic way to head into the holiday season with a sense of unity in our two-campus community of LCSS.”

His dad, Scott Richardson, said things are looking good for Kai so far.

Kai was scheduled to play his fourth- and fifth-round matches on Saturday.

“If he wins both of those he’ll be tied in second,” Scott said. “At this point he stands a good chance.”

Young sharpshooters set sights on learning Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Now in its third year, the Junior Olympic Archery Program in Williams Lake is continuing to build momentum.

Run by archers Al Campsall, Ed Oliver and Lorne Baron, the program teaches young, up-and-coming sharpshooters the fundamentals, techniques and safety precautions necessary to improve in the sport.

Close to 60 archers, split into junior and senior groups ages five to

18, meet every Thursday at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse to practice. The JOAP began Oct. 3 and runs for six months until March 27.

“Our goals are to provide athletes with the opportunity to be safely involved with an archery program,” said Campsall, who is a 10time Canadian national champion in the sport.

“No one is forced to compete but if they want they have the chance to be competitive and we have quite

a number of kids who want to be competitive.”

Over the past two years the JOAP has produced multiple top-five provincial archers.

“A lot of our older kids are pretty advanced,” Oliver said.

“With the younger ones you can see the kids have their form down and they understand about safety — that’s mainly what we work on with them. From there we hope they’ll progress and stay with us and come into the older group.”

Oliver, Campsall and Baron have all enjoyed both the competitive and social aspect of archery. For Campsall, it’s satisfying to see the local interest in the sport grow.

“It’s quite fulfilling,” he said. “Kids Ed, Lorne and I have worked with have gone on to be some of the top shooters in the province.”

Oliver said it’s about giving back.

“We just want to pass on our skills to these young people because they’re the ones who

are going to carry on archery in the future,” he said.

Ty Thurow, 10, said he’s having a great time learning how to use a bow.

“I love the adrenaline rush,” he said. “And my teachers are great.”

Coming up for the JOAP archers is a chance to compete at the B.C. Regional Championships on Feb. 6. The event will be hosted at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.

Scores are then submitted from around B.C.

Winter Lights celebrated in song Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The lakecity has a special new song to sing celebrating the Christmas season.

Rossetta Paxton has written a song celebrating the lakecity’s Santa Claus Parade and Winter Lights celebration.

The city’s quintessential singer/ songwriter, who keeps the price tag on her guitar in honour of one of her country idols Minnie Pearl, sang her song for council on their last meeting of the year Dec. 17.

Councillor Ivan Bonnell said they should start off all their meetings with song.

Paxton says she wrote the song as part of an eight-week song-writing course that she had been taking through the Berklee College of Music out of Boston.

She wrote about eight songs during the course and a few more exercises.

The deadline for this particular song came about as they were preparing for the Santa Claus Parade

and Winter Lights festival so she thought why not write a song about it.

“I wrote approximately eight songs in eight weeks,” Paxton says.

“I was quite happy with the program.”

She was hoping for a better mark but given that she missed one of the deadlines she is happy with her 82 per cent score on the course.

“I was an experience.”

Paxton’s birthday is on Christmas Eve which for her has been a blessing, not something to grumble about.

“My birthday just wouldn’t be the same if it was any other time of year. I don’t have to have a party because of all the Christmas lights and excitement happening around me at this time of year.”

She says she’s also had some funny birthday/Christmases over the years to add to the fun. For instance she says people might give her part of a gift on Christmas Eve for her birthday and the other part of the gift on Christmas Day. In one case she received one

shoe on Christmas Eve and the other one on Christmas Day which she thought was quite funny.

Paxton is also pretty good at sharing around her own Christmas cheer with others.

All year long you will find her and many of her musical friends performing for seniors at the Seniors Village, at Deni House, at Sunset Manor and for other special occasions such as Stampede, Harvest Fair and the Winter Lights festival.

She says other musicians and singers are invited to join them at the Seniors’ Village for jam sessions held on the third Tuesday of each month starting at 10:30 a.m.

Residents join in singing the songs.

Musicians and singers also meet at Deni House every third Thursday of the month starting at 10:30 a.m. to entertain residents there.

People are also invited to join Paxton and her musical friends for jam sessions held every third Thursday of the month from noon to 3 p.m. at Alley Katz Bistro.

Big Brothers, Big Sisters: pure magic LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Tilani Engelbrecht said that when considering volunteer options in her new community there really wasn’t much of a choice.

“When I heard about Big Brothers Big Sisters and the opportunities they offer I grabbed it,” she said.

“Children just energize me, and it’s quite a privilege when parents share their children with others who may not have children in their lives.”

A pediatric occupational therapist at the Child Development Centre, she also said she was very impressed with the way Big Brothers Big Sisters handled the whole signing up process, from the screening and orientation to the ongoing support and follow up.

“They were so warm, inviting, helpful and encouraging, as well as detailed, clear and professional,” she said.

“The parents know that their kids are in very good hands.”

Her ‘little sister’ Amaya just turned seven years old.

“She is a fun bundle of energy,” Engelbrecht said. “I thought I needed to make a plan for when we got together, but I’ve learned to just go with the flow,” she explained.

“Sometimes she wants to do things like build a fort or make a boat at the lake made of plants and branches, and sometimes she just wants to play hide and seek.

“I’ve learned to just embrace life with her and be spontaneous.

It’s not just about the end project – it’s about the fun and the adventure along the way.”

She said that she spends a couple of hours with Amaya every week.

“I wanted to provide stability; I set an exact time on a fixed day so that she’d

know exactly when and where she always sees me,” she continued. “Once we’re together we just make things up as we go along.”

Being paired with Amaya has benefits for them both, according to Engelbrecht.

“She seems to love having fun with me and love having someone ‘tuned in’ to her,” she explained.

“Through JumpStart we’re going to do gymnastics starting in January.”

Engelbrecht has three brothers herself and says she loves being a big sister to Amaya.

“The biggest gift for me is that Amaya doesn’t hold anything back – she gives everything she has and offers it unconditionally,” she noted.

“When I meet her there we just have fun: it’s magic.”

Sound of music improves for Deni House residents LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Residents and visitors at Deni House recently received a generous gift from the Williams Lake Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 to enhance music performance and participation.

Debbie Gogolin from the activities department gathered several residents to the common room to accept a Peavey sound system from le-

gion member and volunteer Bob Samchuk.

The new system includes speakers, a board and microphones, with the capacity to enhance a range of musical instruments and the human voice.

“We’ve been looking for funds to purchase this muchneeded system; it’s important so that all our seniors can enjoy the music and the programs we have here,” explained Gogolin.

3 5/16 x 5

She adds that next on their wish list is a surround system for the TV. “It makes it easier for them to participate in what’s going on in their world.”

She says they are very grateful to the legion for their generosity.

“They’ve been wonderful support-

ers – they also gave us our beautiful big TV which has been perfect for us,” she continued.

“We’re so glad to have this great system for our musical volunteers who come in here to share the gift of song with our residents.”

Samchuk said that this donation was a

result of the legion’s poppy fund, adding that all funds raised are put back into community programs.

“Contributing to the lives of seniors just makes sense; we’re all going to be here someday,” he says.

“That’s what it’s all about and we’re glad to help.”

Santa looking to swap outdated ride for super economy sleigh NORTH POLE - Driveway can exclusively reveal that Santa Claus has been visiting local dealerships kicking tires—ahem, rails—in his search for a new ride.

Ever conscious of the increasing cost of gas and effect his multi-million-kilometre Christmas flight has on the environment, Santa seems to have opted for 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon for his next sleigh.

The wagon promises a fuel economy of 7.84 L/100 kms fuel economy,which means the sleigh will be kinder to the environment than his current means of transporting gifts to the world’s children.

As an added benefit, the EcoBoost engine – which is finely tuned for high-speed performance – would offer speeds much faster than Santa ever travelled in his former 36-hoofpowered sleigh. The expected upgrade comes as a record number of children earn spots on the “nice” list, increasing the payload weight of his bag of gifts beyond the normal tow rating of his nine-reindeer team.

Santa told me that changing his mode of transportation will not compromise his ability to remain true to his mission.

“My goal is and always has been

allow him to keep a close eye on his gifts in the second and third row.

From its 60/40 three-passenger second-row bench seat through fold-flat second- and third-row seating with third-row independent fore-and-aft sliding capability, the wagon quickly adapts to accommodate multiple combinations of elves and presents.

The MyKey programmable ignition key restricts maximum speed should a mischievous elf get behind the wheel while Claus is down a chimney leaving gifts.

With eight cupholders, Claus and his elves would have plenty of space to take along a few glasses of milk as they continue through their busy night.

Rain-sensing wipers would keep Claus on the move, as there’s always a chance he’ll encounter nasty weather.

“As always, we are busy making toys and checking long lists,” says Santa.

“That said, Merry Christmas to all!”

Of course, Mrs. Claus will have the final say on this purchase because, as any dealership owner will tell you, women make the final decision in 80 per cent of new vehicle purchases.

Keep your eyes peeled Tuesday night to see if Santa got his Christmas wish. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage

By Zack Spencer

Even though we have high fuel prices in Canada, the trend is away from small fuel-efficient cars to larger vehicles.

Subcompact and even compact sales are down but sales of small SUVs and even mid-sized vehicles are up. There are a couple of things at play here. The first is the stronger (not so much in the last two months) Canadian dollar over the last several years has allowed carmakers to jam more content into their cars and often the retail price has dropped too.

The second is that vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient, so buying a slightly bigger car isn’t much of a hardship. With this as a backdrop, it is interesting to see that Mitsubishi has introduced a three-cylinder fuel saving car at the smallest end of the market.

Looks The Mirage is sold in two trim levels; the base starts at $12,498 and comes pretty sparsely equipped.

It’s a small car with a little price tag. The much bigger Nissan Versa is cheaper at $11,898 and has buckets more power. The car that most people will choose is the Mirage SE with many more goodies but the price jumps dramatically to $15,398 and with the automatic transmission it lands at $16,598. At this price, there are plenty of options in the subcompact class. Styling is not what I would car eye-catching.

Cars like the Ford Fiesta or the Kia Rio have much more appeal and features for similar money to this

‘‘

What this little car was designed to do is deliver impressive fuel economy.

SE Mirage.

Inside On the plus side, the Mirage SE does come nicely equipped. The front driver’s seat has adjustment and both front seats have very good seat heaters that bring your backside up to the appropriate temperature in short order. The centre cluster is nicely finished and it features Bluetooth with streaming audio. There is an auxiliary jack but no USB jack to charge your phone. The back seat is small and the rear cargo area is what one might expect from a little car. But this vehicle does not live in a vacuum.

The Kia Rio, with more features, like satellite radio, is only a $1,000 more and is way up on space and horsepower. The Nissan Versa Note is massive in comparison and for $1,700 more has push button start and even a backup camera.

So yes, the Mirage is nicely equipped and has a good price but there are other options out there that are as good if not better.

Drive What this little car was designed to do is deliver impressive fuel economy.

This is achieved by placing a 3-cylinder engine under

the hood and matching it to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). With just 74hp, this car is way down on power compared to the rest of the subcompact set, even the Fiat 500 has 101hp and the Nissan Versa has 109hp. This combination of small packaging and small engine deliver a rating of 5.3L/100km in the city and 4.4L on the highway.

In my mostly city driving I was achieving 7L/100km.

The problem with such a small engine is that t often needs to be pushed hard to accelerate and pass other traffic. The engine and CVT are loud, especially when the car is cold. The steering is very light for easy maneuverability but at higher speeds it feels too vague.

This car is happy cruising because the engine settles down to a lower RPM and the noise level drops. Ask this car to perform and it’s an experience filled with noise and vibration.

Verdict With a very low starting price and potentially good fuel economy the basic Mirage has a place for a buyer who wants a basic runabout that sips gas but if the trend away from small cars is any indication, that will be a small number. zack@drivewaybc.ca

Can there be anything much more frustrating than not being able to turn because some twit is blocking the intersection?

There is a provincial law that forbids drivers from entering an intersection if they can’t exit the other side (not for left turners, that’s ok).

But many municipalities have taken that a step further with bylaws that apply that

Readers voice the pros and cons of increasing posted speed limits

By Keith Morgan

Driveway readers have the final word on the posted speed limit poll, conducted in partnership with Insights West.

In that survey it was revealed that 37 percent of those polled believe a higher than 100 km/h limit should be posted on our major highways. The provincial government current review of speed limits has already prompted much public discussion, much of which seemed to support the hiking of limits. With that in mind, we were surprised that the poll showed that 55 percent believed speed limits should be left alone.

Here’s further reaction

For an increase in limits: Kmac: Excessive speed, texting and using a cell phone while driving, driver in attention and driving too fast for the road &/or weather conditions kills.

The minimal increase in the

speed limits you suggest make sense efi1936: I think that the Coquihalla should be 130 km/h and the rural part of Highway 1 120km/h. lyle: As stated in your column, it is only excessive speed that kills. However, if two drivers were driving side by side at 100 km/h there would be mass frustration and more accidents.

CaryAnn: I think the majority of drivers driving today are totally conscious of their vehicle and surroundings and are very capable of handling the higher speeds.

DriveSmart: Maybe the new limit should be displayed on new variable signs so that it can be adjusted downward in darkness and poor driving

conditions.

28speedster: Here we are

in the 21st century driving at the same or lower speed limits than we did with cars in the 1950s with bias ply tires on two-lane highways.

New cars, tires, roads are engineered for much higher speeds. A higher speed limit will require drivers to pay attention to their driving.

Mark: Being from Germany and having driven faster and safely on the Autobahn, I say it’s about time. When I took my driver’s test, part of the test was on the Autobahn and you had to go 130km/h (weather and local speed limit permitting) NOT to get points against you.

Comments against an increase:

‘‘

I found it to be a very comfortable and a fun to drive vehicle.

Ian Harwood

law-abiding people are put at risk by speeders as it is.

Donna: There are enough accidents at 110 without increasing the risks.

Snazzy: Speeds above 90km/h greatly increase fuel consumption.

In addition to lower speeds being safer for drivers, wildlife, it is also important that we consider the planet, and reduce our use of fossil fuels.

Rosemary: In BC’s interior, there are many hazardous

roads and bad weather conditions, but drivers in general ignore them. If you ‘up’ the speed limit, they will ‘up’ the speeding...

What ever happened to safe driving? Like reducing speed at night when visibility is reduced?

Brian: People already drive 10 to 20 above the speed limit . . . if you raise to 120 they will go up to 140. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

Blipshift.com ($15.00 + shipping) Direct from the website, it says, “Blipshift brings you high quality, limited edition auto-enthusiast focused shirts for just $15. Each shirt is available for only a few days before it is towed off to the crusher, never to be printed again.”

If you wan to torture yourself and see some amazing designs from weeks past,

For anyone carrying motorcycle gear frequently, this is a fabulous bag. I recently purchased one and I love it. It fit both my motocross gear (big, chunky boots), pants, shirt, elbow and knee pads and my one-piece leather racing suit, track boots, gloves AND a helmet. Yes, there’s a specific area to put your helmet. I checked it in at the airport and there were no issues. It’s heavy duty, and has handles at very convenient sports. The kicker? It can stand upright by itself. It’s pricey but worth the investment. ogio.com

Need a book, DVD, poster or

die cast model? Chances are Wilkinson Automobilia will have it. With unique items in store every day, it really is a place where any car lover could spend most of their pay cheques.

Should you not live in the Lower Mainland, fear not, they have an online store, which is eautomobilia.com There are items there that appeal to both four and twowheel enthusiasts.

you’d wonder how a bath can even help. Well, it does.

Washing it cleans off the salt that covers the roads and can help prevent corrosion. And on the inside, think of what your boots bring in. A trip to the spa prevents stains from totally setting in and can leave your car smelling good, too. Whether getting just a quick treatment or the full shebang, your ride will thank you for it.

A Visit to the Spa (for your Car. Various prices)

Build a Racecar in 158 Pieces ($24.99)

It’s a good feeling when you’re feeling clean. And we all know that winter is not a season that promotes spotlessness. With salt on the roads, grime hanging around, and foreign objects getting stuck to your vehicle,

Building a racecar can be done in 158 pieces thanks to Lego. If you’re young, or young at heart, surely you’ll have a good time assembling this “toy!” Plus, it looks cool. shop.lego.com

It also came in handy for when they tried to include me in the conversation; with a simple push of the volume button I could yell back “sorry, I can’t hear you”.

All three rows receive the same level of luxury. French stitching on all of the leather seats with a choice of colors, Ebony or Cocoa Dune. The second row seats are a SmartSlide flat-folding 60/40 split bench while the third row is a 60/40 split bench that folds flat as well.

The third row is surprisingly comfortable and enough leg room for adults.

The steering wheel is leather wrapped with mahogany wood grain trim; it also features a tilt and telescopic steering column. The centre of the dash is the location for the colour touch Radio/ Navigation screen with IntelliLink. A 165 mm (6.5”) colour touch screen display, AM/FM stereo with CD

If you’re excited about cup holders then hold on to yourself, this vehicle has twelve. I know because I had to clean each one.

Twelve in an eight-seater, go figure.

The Acadia comes standard with driver and front passenger airbags, seat mounted side impact bags and side curtain air bags.

Traction control and stability control with roll stability control are also standard.

Forward collision alert, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, and side blind zone alert are some of the latest technologies that have gone into this vehicle.

Power: The 3.6 Litre V6 engine puts out 288 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm with 270 ft pounds of torque. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic that can be shifted into manual mode.

Pump frequency: 13.3/ 8.8 L/100 km (City/ Highway) Warranty support: Basic 3 year/ 60,000 km Power-train 5 year/ 160,000 km Roadside assistance 5 year/ 160,000 km At first, I was a little sceptical about this vehicle but after the first few kilometres, I changed my mind and found it to be a very comfortable and a fun to drive vehicle. Although there is lots of room inside it does not give the impression of a big SUV, and it manoeuvres quite well. With the latest technologies added, I found it easy to use and very useful. Shoulder checks are something I do by habit, but with the side blind zone alert feature it is like having someone else take a second look, which is comforting.

Direction (From approx. $240.00)

Want to spice up your ride?

Perhaps add a sporty element? Sparco makes steering wheels for both street and race cars. Then again, it’s kind of a one-stop shop. They also sell race attire, seats, shoes and more. If nothing else, they make some very comfortable hats! sparcousa. com Safety First (Name your price!)

The gift of practicality is priceless. How about an emergency car kit? You could even pack it yourself by using these guidelines at getprepared.gc.ca. Or you can get one already prepared at various stores like Canadian Tire or your local automotive

The Gift of Knowledge (Various)

Being a safer driver or motorcycle rider is beneficial for everyone. And how to get there doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, it’s a lot of fun.

The Advanced Rider Training (ART) course through the West Coast Superbike School is one way (westcoastsuperbikeschool.com) to learn a lot and have a good time. Or, if you want to do it behind the wheel of a car, check out Morrisport Advanced Driving (morrisport.com) Whether it’s your first time or not, there are new skills to be picked up each time the tires roll onto the track. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
