Community rallies to support hurt puppy Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Thanks to the generosity of the public an injured and abandoned puppy in Williams Lake received surgery Tuesday.

On New Year’s Eve a fivemonth-old German shepherdborder collie cross puppy named Samantha was discovered abandoned and badly injured at a rest stop 20 kilometres north of Williams Lake.

A passerby called the Williams Lake SPCA, who rushed Samantha to a veterinary clinic, where it was determined she had a broken femur and the injury was likely a few weeks old.

Last Friday the Williams Lake SPCA put out a public plea asking for donations to fund the $800 cost of the surgery.

“By the end of the day Saturday we had $1,300 at the shelter and over $1,500 online donations for the whole weekend,” said branch manager Liz Dighton Tuesday.

“Anything not spent on Samantha will, unfortunately, go toward the next injured animal we receive.”

Dighton and her staff believe Samantha was probably hit by a car, and because of the extent of her injuries her leg had to be amputated.

Samantha had no identification and no one had come forward to claim her.

After Tuesday’s surgery it will take roughly one week to make sure everything is healing well

SPCA animal care supervisor Alicia Kvist and Samantha, an abandoned, injured puppy, prepare for the dog’s surgery Tuesday. The operation was afforded through multiple donations from the public. and then Samantha will be up for adoption.

“I have had a few people contact me about her, but I don’t

have any applications on hand yet,” Dighton said. “She’s a really neat dog, a typical border collie with way too much energy and

way too much brain.”

The local animal hospital performing the surgery has asked to remain anonymous.

Sinders and Ashes goes up in smoke Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Williams Lake clothing and novelty store received extensive damage to the back of its building when a fire started sometime early Saturday.

Around 8 a.m. the Williams Lake Fire Dept. responded to the fire located at Sinders and Ashes in the first block of Oliver Street.

“When we arrived the building was filled with smoke, but the fire was contained within the wall at the back end,” said fire chief Des Webster. “It must have been burning for quite a while because the floor was completely burnt.”

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Store employee Jordan Prolago arrived around 9:30 a.m. to see the damage and said he closed the shop up at 6 p.m. Friday.

“I don’t know what could have happened,” he said as he inspected the scene from outside.

“There was nothing back here by the door but garbage bags.”

The store’s owner is presently out of town and isn’t expected back until next week. In the meantime, it has been boarded up and remains closed.

Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown said although nothing suggests the fire was suspicious, police are investigating the incident.

Sinders and Ashes employee Jordan Prolago observes some of the damage caused by a fire Sunday at the downtown store.

Pinnacle makes Guichon re-elected for third term changes to improve air quality Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Pinnacle Renewable Energy in Williams Lake has a new stack that is 45 feet taller than the one it replaced.

Eighteen months ago after some brainstorming with the Ministry of Environment the company put forward a proposal to improve air quality in the area of the plant.

“A dispersion modelling study was completed and described the parameters required in order to improve air quality during poor meteorological conditions,” said plant manager Ron Myhre. “Af-

Chief Percy Guichon is back at the helm for a third term with the Alexis Creek First Nation.

In a band election held Thursday, Jan. 9, Guichon was re-elected for a third term after garnering 100 votes.

Opponents Ervin Charleyboy received 66 votes and Gerald Johnny received nine.

While 29 people ran for councillor, five were re-elected and one new person — Herman Billy — was elected.

Remaining on council are Otis Guichon Sr., Terry Char, Harold Corn, Clayton Charleyboy and Rockie Guichon.

“There was a lower

turnout this election, I’m not sure why, but I’m grateful for the people who did come out and vote,” Guichon said Friday.

Leading up to the election, Guichon heard loud and clear about the need for employment and housing.

“There’s a waiting list for housing in pretty much every community.”

Recently four Canada Mortgage and Housing homes were completed in the community at the end of November and in the previous year three replacement homes were also constructed.

“We are making progress. A lot of our homes are overcrowded and we are trying to alleviate that pressure and have developed

housing policies,” Guichon said.

Currently the band is developing an economic development corporation it hopes to have in place by April 1, with a board consisting of three business people outside of the reserve and representatives from within the community.

Revenue from the log harvesting done

by Tsi Del Del Enterprises will go into the economic development corporation, so it’s separate from the band, Guichon said.

“The band will still be involved but at arms length.

“We’re looking at it as a means to move economic interests ahead in a responsible manner.

“Having experienced business people

on the board will help guide us.”

Voter turnout was lower than in 2012 where 205 votes were cast, said electoral officer Gerry Hutchison.

“This year there were 177 votes, including mail in ballots.

There were a total of four spoiled ballots which is extremely low.”

Voting was steady all day with no incidents.

“It would appear that the electors desired stability on council as only one new person has been elected,” Hutchison said.

There also appears to be a growing interest of women in running for the office, with over half of those running being female, he added.

NO PARKING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN THE 24 HOURS BEFORE GARBAGE COLLECTION DAY To improve snow removal service, the City will align snow removal with the garbage and recycling pickup schedule, and restrict street parking for a 24 hour period the day before the scheduled garbage pickup (i.e. if an area has garbage pickup on a Tuesday, street parking is not permitted on Monday.) This would limit the impact on most residential areas to only one set day a week, and allow snow removal crews to have these areas completely cleaned so that the garbage containers can be placed on the street for the day of their pickup.

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

Changes a warning of things to come

Cariboo Family Day staycation

T

A

n old saying claimed the weather belonged to the poor, because rich people had more ways to cope with it, like spending the winter in Arizona or Mexico.

The weather has been a topic of much conversation recently because Mother Nature seems to have it in for some of us, rich and poor.

In the far north, unusually warm weather is causing problems, and in Australia, where it’s sumFrench mertime, record Connection breaking heat is Diana French having nasty results.

Eastern Canada and mid-western USA have been hit with ice storms and bone chilling cold, the Philippines were ravaged by a typhoon, and there has been unexpected and unpleasant flooding all over the place. We’ve been lucky. It’s been snowing regularly in the Cariboo but there is nothing unusual nor nasty about that, just business as usual.

This is my 63rd winter in the Cariboo.

I don’t know if that qualifies me as an oldtimer or not, but winters really are milder now than they used to be. We haven’t had long lasting or viciously cold temperatures for years.

I don’t miss the “30 belows” (we didn’t used to know about wind chill), the older I get the less I like the cold. Mind you, anything above -10 C seems balmy to me as it must be to a lot of people, especially the hardy types you see walking about town wearing shorts. My winter complaints are the blobs of ice lurking on walkways and the snow barriers between the streets to the sidewalks.

Does the world-wide weird weather (and warmer winters in the Cariboo) mean the climate is changing? More people are becoming believers, even government people, but what can we do about it?

Dave Phillips, Canada’s senior climatologist, (40 years with Environment Canada) suggests that nature just might be sending us warnings, and maybe we should be getting ourselves ready to live with changes, just in case.

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

Dan Hicks photo

This image from Alexis Creek photographer Dan Hicks showing Circle-A Lake and the Coast Mountains of Tsylos Provincial Park, looking southwest from northwest of Kloakut Lake on the 2000 Road, is featured on the cover of the newly released Williams Lake Timber Supply Area Public Discussion Paper, which is now available for public comment.

Our Viewpoint

Balancing act The picture really says it all.

The cover of the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area Public Discussion Paper released this week depicts a storm brewing over the coast mountains and Circle A Lake in the Chilcotin.

Taken by photographer Dan Hicks of Alexis Creek, the image also captures in a beautiful way, the extent of the mountain pine beetle infestation on our Timber Supply Area and our reaction to salvage log that wood.

This struggle between economics, and social and environmental needs now, and decades into our future, will ultimately be the challenge of Chief Forester Dave Peterson and the public at large. How do we make it all balance?

According to the discussion paper, timber supply areas are reviewed about every 10 years or so (this being the fourth for the WLTSA) to examine the impacts for forest management practices on the timber supply, economy, environ-

ment and social conditions of the local area and the province.

Sometimes annual allowable cuts don’t change much, but that’s not expected to be the case this time around.

In April of 2007, one year before the peak of the MPB infestation that would ultimately claim an estimated 710 million cubic metres provincially, the government conducted an urgent timber supply review and more than doubled the annual allowable cut here to 5,770,000 cubic metres, to salvage what was left of the dead pine.

That salvage operation has been very successful, however, the AAC is unsustainable at its current level.

How we, as forest reliant communities, move forward will be largely determined by the new AAC. The government is encouraging the public to weigh in on the debate and help shape our forests into the future.

he hustle and bustle of the holiday season is over, the kids are back at school, and things are finally getting back to a normal pace.

However, soon enough the winter blues are going to hit and everyone will need a well-deserved break.

Thankfully, in less than one month we will celebrate the second ever B.C. Family Day on Feb. 10.

As you start planning what to do this Family Day, why not stay close to MLA home and explore Musings the many natural wonders found Coralee Oakes right here in the Cariboo?

With so many things to do in our own backyard, here are some suggestions to make the most of your time off for Family Day. There are many provincial parks and recreational areas in the Cariboo, offering a plentiful amount of affordable, fun, and healthy winter activities.

You can also drive down to 100 Mile House and hit the slopes at Mt. Timothy Ski Area. With plenty of fresh powder there will be many untouched runs to enjoy.

Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and skating at the neighbourhood rink are also great ways to get out and enjoy some winter fun.

Of course, we cannot forget that Family Day is a day that should be spent with family.

Plan some one-on-one time with your loved ones.

Kick back and relax at home, sip on some hot chocolate, and gather around a warm fire on a chilly winter’s day.

The simplest activities can be the most rewarding.

However you choose to celebrate this Family Day, enjoy yourself, have fun, and make the most of the quality time with your loved ones.

Happy Family Day 2014!

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

Speeding toward global warming Editor: The Provincial government is currently undertaking a review of speed limits on rural highways in the province. Although the need for this review or the motivation behind it has not been adequately explained, it appears to be in response to a grass roots campaign to raise speed limits.

It is strange that speed limits being too low would be one of the first priorities for a new minister. I guess everything else must be in good shape in the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure? I have read through the public discussion paper and it is clear that the provincial government has chosen to ignore a key factor that should be considered when determining highway speed limits. That is the relationship between vehicle speed and green house gas emissions (GHG).

The most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirms that, “Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate extremes. It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid20th century.”

According to the B.C. government’s budget and fiscal plan for 2008/09 we were “legally committed to reducing 2020 emissions to 33 per cent below the 2002 level.”

Household GHG emissions constitute over 30 per cent of the provincial total and 44 per cent of Household GHG emissions is from cars and trucks. Most cars, vans, SUVs and pick-up trucks operate most fuel efficiently when travelling

between 50 and 80 km/h. Above this optimal speed zone, vehicles consume increasingly more fuel the faster they go. At 120 km/h, a vehicle uses about 20 percent more fuel than at 100 km/h. On a 25-km trip, this spike in speed — and fuel consumption — would cut just two minutes from your travel time (Natural Resources Canada).

Are we all that important that we can’t spare the few minutes it takes to drive a little slower? We should all try to slow down, relax and enjoy the scenery. You will be doing your part to reduce emissions; you will reduce your fuel costs and will likely be reducing your risk of being in an accident.

B.C. residents have until Jan. 24, 2014 to express their views. Go to engage.gov.bc.ca/safety and speed review.

New thinking in the New Year Editor: With us beginning a New Year, perhaps we can start New Thinking, and maybe even realize ‘consequences’ to ‘actions.’ For the third try, New Prosperity Mine proved it would cause devastating impact on the environment. How about three strikes, you’re out?

To want to push the mine through regardless of environmental impact really shows the height of corporate/human selfishness and greed, in my eyes.

“It is no measure of health to be

well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

With that being said, look at the wars, famine, crimes against humanity, the unbridled greed and corruption in governments, and the disempowerment of humanity.

Do we have individual freedom and prosperity for all?

Do we have a clean, pristine environment?

What is the condition of our air, water, and land?

Let’s not dismiss those questions so readily without asking

–– Who is in control of this planet and more importantly, are you contributing to the mess?

Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution? In this new year, I sincerely hope everyone takes off their `horse blinders’ broadens their minds and starts looking at better, healthier solutions to the economy.

Nursing in B.C.’s north unique I have just completed two years of unique nursing in unique, remote B.C. environments.

In the last year, I have been taking three flights into a spectacular community and three flights to get home, the last one each way being in a four-seat float plane.

It was such an honour to be welcomed so warmly and of equal impact was watching how much each season offers to the survival of the people.

My conventional Western medical education turned out to be only half of the big picture and those who know me will also know that balance is an obsession of mine so half is never enough!

I spent lots of time learning about this way of life and the people who make it so special.

And, it all seemed meant to be.

For example, when I got off the ferry (yes, there was a small ferry, too) for the first time, there was a boat at the dock named ... my name.

As well, a mountain nearby had the same name as my son and one of the streets in the village had my former

last name.

There are no stores but a few people have converted their garages into limited outlets for essentials — otherwise, everything has to be shipped in.

There is a total of a mile and a half of roadway but still many of the traffic challenges in larger places — speeding, seat belts, fenderbenders.

There are feasts and celebrations every week but everything stops for a time when there is a death in the community.

I noticed that things healed faster and hair and nails grew quicker in this environment — I guess there’s a lot to be said for clean air and good water.

The community members live into their 90s with almost no dementia.

The children have many of the modern toys but still play outside a lot, building forts and playing the old fashioned games like tag and hide-and-seek.

There were huge eagles everywhere, otters, killer whales gliding by and a relationship with the wolves living in and near the community.

The scenery was spectacular and the history of the B.C. West Coast is fascinating.

The last two years have been a complete adventure for me living in a very different life than the one “to which I had become accustomed,” as it were.

My perspectives on health and wellness have been dramatically tuned up!

As an aside, it’s interesting to realize that, on either end of my 42 years as a nurse, I had jobs that required overnight stays in the same town, the very same town, about once a month for a year.

The 1973 town was truly wild (people, places and things) — the 2013 town was/is quaint.

Yes, it’s quaint — colourful buildings, super friendly people, flowers and stores.

That one town was the parentheses on a long and diverse career.

Input invited on Williams Lake timber supply review The government has opened the floor for public comment on the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area.

Comments are being accepted until March 17, 2014, on a public discussion paper released this week as part of a comprehensive timber supply review for the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area, stated a ministry press release.

Public feedback on the discussion paper will be considered by the chief forester before setting the new allowable annual cut.

The discussion paper describes the geography, natural resources, forest management and land use plans of the

Williams Lake Timber Supply Area. It also provides the results of the timber supply analysis, including a base case harvest forecast.

The Williams Lake Timber Supply Area covers about 4.9 million hectares, with approximately 1.8 million hectares available for timber harvesting.

The City of Williams Lake is the largest community in the timber supply area. Smaller communities include Horsefly, Likely, Miocene, Alexis Creek, Anahim Lake, Tatla Lake, Riske Creek, Big Creek, Nimpo Lake, 150 Mile House, Big Lake and McLeese Lake.

As part of the timber

supply analysis, a habitat supply assessment was conducted on three wildlife species — pine marten, moose and grizzly bear — to determine the implications of timber harvesting on wildlife.

Results show pine marten habitat requires connected tracts of mature and old forest while grizzly bear habitat is linked to human activity and the availability of road free areas. Moose habitat requires forest cover next to feeding areas. However, in wetter parts of the region, feeding areas can be temporarily enhanced through timber harvesting.

The chief forester’s allowable annual cut

determination is an independent professional judgement based on information such as technical forestry reports and input from First Nations and the public.

Under the Forest Act, the chief forester must determine the maximum amount of wood that can be harvested in each of the province’s 38 timber supply areas and 34 tree farm licences at least once every 10 years.

However, a new allowable annual cut may be determined earlier in response to abnormal situations, or postponed for up to five years if an allowable annual cut level is not expected to change significantly.

Car theft up, other crimes down in 2013 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake experienced a reduction of crime in 2013 compared to the previous year in all areas except auto theft, said Williams Lake Insp. War-

ren Brown Monday.

“In 2013, 124 vehicles were reported stolen in the city,” Brown said.

“However, comparatively speaking from earlier in the 2000s and 1990s, we are down significantly.”

Brown said on the plus side, there were fewer break and enters, theft from autos, mischief, damage to properties, robberies, calls for service and alarms in 2013 than the city experienced in 2012.

Brown and safer

communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson appeared as a delegation before city council Tuesday evening to give an RCMP update.

Christmas house lights come down Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Berry’s Christmas House on Country Club Boulevard had “very, very good” support from the community this year.

“We had a really good time and ended up making $2,007.95 with all the contributions that came in,” says Ken Berry.

Ken has put up the spectacular Christmas display in lights and unique penguin scenes at 142 Country Club Boulevard for the past 15 years with help from his wife, Julia, and their family to raise funds to help children in need.

This year the Cariboo-Chilcotin Child Development Centre Society, which is in the process of expanding on Second Avenue, is the benefactor of the Berry’s lights display.

Ken says people came more than once and many people took the time to walk down their driveway to see venues that are not easily seen from the road.

Quite a few friends and neighbours also dropped in to say hello.

He says they usually get a lot of people checking out the house on Christmas Eve, but this year more people took the time to have a look and make their donations on Christmas Day. He says someone made a donation every night the lights were

on, which was from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. every evening from Nov. 29 until Jan. 4 when he started taking down the displays.

“We weren’t shut out any nights,” Ken says.

Given the unusually warm, then freezing conditions over the holidays, Ken says there were times he had to chisel ice off the displays.

He says some of the lights, which are not easily reached, will stay up until spring but most of the displays

The Pulse of BC North survey looks

are down now.

The big blow-up mascots are particularly difficult to take down because they need to dry out in the basement before being folded and put away.

Ken and Julia figure it takes 150 hours over about two and a half months to put up all the lights and displays.

Their electricity bill rises to about $300 a month when the lights are turned on.

For the past four years Ken and many golf buddies have also been raising money through the donation of gently used golf balls at the golf course.

Last year he says that project raised about $575 for the cause, but he doesn’t expect to make that much on the golf ball collections this year because most of the used and lost balls have already been collected and donated to the cause.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact. Combine this with a large grille borrowed from the Tundra pickup truck and the Highlander has a very rugged, yet polished, look that

The cup holder is large and the centre armrest has a massive storage area inside; this is thanks to the removal of the stowaway seat that used to hide under the centre armrest. Now in the second row of seats there are three permanent seats or two captain’s chairs in the top Limited model. The previous hideaway idea was simple but not so comfortable.

The biggest change takes place in the third row of seats, where three people can sit rather than just two. In addition,

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality.

It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition.

Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here.

When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering.

The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

Question

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy.

The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

Safety Tip:

What do you think is the best special feature available in today’s cars and trucks?

Please explain why you have made that decision.

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

The highs and lows of driving on a German Autobahn 30 kms outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h!

To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I encountered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions in motorcycles, large trucks and cars towing trailers.

What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be enforced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you. Say what?

— The advisory speed limit under this “rule” is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit.

Smash up at a higher speed and you could be found partially responsible due to “increased operating danger”.

Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birth-

By Keith Morgan

Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limitless autobahns.Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll conducted for Black Press that found 37 per cent back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits during the eight regional public forums being held this month.

Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed.

In recent years, I’ve driven

’’

thousands of kilometres along high-speed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars.

One of the most memorable trips I drove was the 585 kilometres between Munich and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horsepower under the hood.

Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn.

The queues continue even

As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I

place at Ingolstadt. On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind.

You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed. That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way.

found 120 km/h was more easily achieved for most of the journey and seemed to be more typical a speed for most.

From Munich city limits to Berlin it took me around 5 hours 30 minutes, which means I averaged about 105 km/h. Pretty good but not the 200 km/h many think you can do.

There’s the reality check:

Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

2014 Infiniti QX70 puts safety above everything else DrivesUCrazy

By Ian Harwood

The Infiniti QX70 maybe a looker but its range of safety equipment is its most attractive feature.

Looks: It’s distinctive Infiniti look to it should attract many buyers. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they actually belong rather than appear an afterthought as is the case in some of its competitors. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle. LED rear brake lights and center high mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate. Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance.

The functional side vents on the rear of the front fenders give it a European sporty look and reduce front end tilt by five percent.

In The Cab: The cabin seems large at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable you realize it is not all that big. Access to the controls is easy as they are well positioned. I like the navigation screen with 3D mapping and the around view monitor that gives you a bird’s eye view of the vehicle.

An eight-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, six-way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding rear seats that individually fold flat, make for comfort.

The audio system is a Bose 11 speaker with two subwoofers, AM/FM/CD with

Signal

‘‘

The safety features are incredible and most people would feel very safe driving it.

’’

Ian Harwood

MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. Color monitors are built in to headrests so rear passengers can enjoy movies or play their favorite games.

There is an advanced climate control system that continuously cleans the cabin and automatically shuts off the outside air vents when exhaust fumes are detected.

Safety first: The QX70 includes dual stage front airbags with seatbelt and occupant sensors, driver and front passenger side impact supplement airbags, roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor for all row outboard occupant head protection.

Intelligent brake assist system is a safety feature that continuously monitors and analyzes closing speeds to a vehicle ahead and provides warnings. If a collision is imminent, it will also apply the brakes.

There is also a lane departure warning and prevention system.

It was a Christmas Miracle: that’s all I can put it down to.

Pulled up behind a new sportute at a busy intersection, just a second before the light changed green. And predictably that’s when the driver put on his left turn signal.

Then to my absolute amazement, he did exactly what he was supposed to do after failing to signal at the appropriate time. He drove across the intersection and took the next left!

There was a police car behind me so perhaps the errant driver feared a $121 ticket and two penalty points on his license. Not likely.

What drives-u-crazy.

The 2014 Infinity QX70.

keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

2014 Infinity QX70 Power: A 3.7 litre, 24 valve V6 engine with 325 horsepower and 248 foot pounds of torque power this vehicle.

The 7 speed automatic transmission is an electronically continuously variable (CVT) with manual shift capabilities, that features downshift rev matching technology.

Pump frequency: 12.9/9.1 L/100km (city/highway) Warranty support: 48 month/ 100,000 km.

Roadworthy: Excellent handling to this vehicle, steering was quick and responsive, and body roll was at a minimum. Even though the engine was more than adequate providing plenty of power, the CVT transmission was continuing to make adjustments and I found at times sudden bursts of power followed by a hard up shift. Definitely not something I expected with this type of luxury.

Verdict: I was excited to drive this vehicle after reading some of the press releases, but was disappointed on the size of the interior space and performance. The safety features of this vehicle are incredible and I think most people would feel very safe driving it.

Price as tested: Price as tested $64,495.

Ladies only archery

Grapplers medal at War on the Floor Five grapplers from the Williams Lake Wrestling Club stormed Simon Fraser University’s War on the Floor tournament mid-December.

“There were close to 1,000 kids competing over the three-day long tournament at the SFU campus,” said Sonia Conrod, president and head coach of the WLWC. “It’s a great tournament for the kids to experience the university and compete against top-notch wrestlers.”

Day one at the competition was broken down for grades 1 to 8 novice athletes. Day two was for grades 8 to 12 competitors, broken into two categories. Grades 9/10 competed in the cadet division, while grades 11/12 participated in the juvenile division. Day three is elite — the best of the best from grades 8 to 12.

“If an athlete in the grade 6/7/8 division medals on the first day of competition they then qualify to wrestle on day two,” Sonia said.

“If a cadet or juvenile medal on day two they also qualify and can choose to go onto elite on the final day of competition. This gives the student the opportunity to test their skills, and potentially win two medals in one tournament.”

On day one the Black ‘n’ Blue struck hard in the elementary division.

“The competition was fierce

Braden Conrod and Tyleen Scaiano were two of the Williams Lake Wrestling Club’s gold-medal winners at War on the Floor. down there,” Sonia said. “The level of wrestling at this age has really grown over the past few years.”

Grade 3 athlete, Kalob Scaiano, who weighed in at 23 kilograms, went undefeated to take first place.

“He then went on to wrestle a very skilled bigger kid in an exhibition match and did extremely well,” Sonia said.

Grade 6 athlete Darian Atkins, in an extremely tough 48-kg division with 20 competitors, battled hard, however, failed to make the

top six.

On the girls’ side Grade 6 Tyleen Scaiano, at 36 kgs, battled her way to a gold-medal win in her roundrobin division.

“She then went on to compete the following day against the grades 9/10 cadet girls,” Sonia said. “She showed no fear and wrestled amazing, bringing home yet another gold medal. It’s pretty incredible because she is not in high school, so she wasn’t eligible to compete in the elite division on

day three.”

On day two Grade 9 wrestler Danielle Schultz found herself in a tough 50-kg weight class.

“Her rivals showed no mercy, but she never backed down, taking fifth overall,” Sonia said.

Also in the cadet division Braden Conrod, at 60 kgs, found himself in a weight class with 38 other grapplers.

“He went head-to-head with some amazing wrestlers, bringing home a gold medal,” Sonia said.

By winning gold at War on the Floor Braden is now eligible to attend nationals in Guelph, Ont., this April.

Following his win Braden went up to the 63-kg weight class in the elite division, where he took seventh overall.

100 Mile House’s nationally ranked Tiana Dykstra, at 43 kgs, was only allowed to compete in the elite division.

“She proved her rank once again coming home with a gold medal,” Sonia said.

“It was a great experience for everyone, all the kids did amazing and had a ton of fun. I’m so grateful to have such a good group of kids. We are more than just a club, we are family.”

Next up is the Kelly Road Tournament in Prince George for both elementary and high school students.

Williams Lake archer Al Campsall is beginning a free, four-week introduction to archery for adult ladies, 18 and older, at the Bond Lake Road Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse.

It will run for four straight Tuesdays (Jan. 14, Jan. 21, Jan. 28 and Feb. 4). There is no registration fee. Interested participants just need to show up and instructors will provide the necessary archery gear. No experience is required.

Campsall said if you can’t attend one week, just attend the next.

In their final tournament of the season in Kamloops, the midget tier two Williams Lake Timberwolves made their second semifinal appearance of the season.

Donning flashy new third jerseys, generously subsidized by Tom Wong and Caribou Ski Source for Sports, the Wolves hammered a Kamloops team that had beaten them 5-3 just seven days before.

Conceding the first goal the Wolves battled back with a backdoor pass from Zach Herrick converted by Josh Novakowski on the power play to even the score.

Ezra Oosting scored, and Jacob Chamberlin banged home two rebounds to give the Wolves a 4-1 lead after two periods of hockey.

The third was all Williams Lake with Justin Hansen potting a goal while killing off a five-on-three penalty to close out the scoring and to give Williams Lake a convincing 7-1

triumph.

The second game against Port Coquitlam, another team Williams Lake had fallen to earlier in the season, seemed to be heading to another blowout result with the Wolves jumping out to a 3-0 lead on the back of goals by Owen Powers, Oosting and Justin Bond. Williams Lake grew complacent, however, allowing PoCo to tie the score moments after the start of the third.

Oosting restored the lead and Bond added insurance, but PoCo drew within a goal with three minutes to go. A longshot rush from Powers, also known as ‘OP Nation,’ reestablished the two-goal cushion to give the Wolves a 6-4 win.

Facing Campbell River next, Williams Lake did something they rarely do: struggle to score goals. The game was a low-scoring affair, with a secondperiod Campbell River goal opening the scoring. In the third, however, Bond was hauled down but still managed to sneak his shot five-

hole, evening the score.

Moments later, Campbell River restored their lead and withstood an onslaught from Williams Lake, eking out a 2-1 result.

A match with a familiar Abbotsford squad restored Williams Lake to their goal-scoring ways.

Darien Grace opened with a breakaway goal, and Bond and Chamberlin also added to the tally. Abbotsford drew within two, but a precision snipe by Wendell Williams that caused the opposition goaltenders’ water bottle to fly off the net into the corner of the rink dispelled all hope of a comeback.

Cory Sterritt added to the score and Grace closed out the scoring.

The 6-1 win came with a significant price, as Oosting left the game midway through the final frame with a dislocated kneecap.

The semifinal date with St. Albert started well, with the Wolves falling behind early and Benn Taylor scoring on the rush to even the score.

The wheels began to

fall off, however, as the Alberta squad capitalized on two defensive zone errors in the last minute of the first period.

Williams Lake battled hard, but the damage had been done. As the Wolves grew more and more desperate, the Raiders patient play allowed them to fend off Williams Lake’s attack, as well as capitalize when the opportunity presented itself.

“We had success, not just in this game, but in this tournament, when we stuck to our systems,” Herrick said.

“When we forechecked and backchecked hard we were the better team and created opportunities for ourselves.

“Unfortunately, when you play teams like St. Albert, if you take a shift off, they will make you pay and that is exactly what happened.”

St. Albert advanced with a 7-1 win and Williams Lake returned home empty handed.

Darien Grace is a team member with the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves.

Stamps clinch first The Williams Lake Stampeders clinched top spot in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division on the weekend, beating the Quesnel Kangaroos on the road.

The Stamps, who were heading into Saturday’s contest one point ahead of the Kangaroos for top spot in the division, played a disciplined game to edge Quesnel, 4-3.

Stampeders’ goaltender Justin Foote made 33 stops, while Nathan Zurak (1-1-2), Matt Lees (2-1-3) and Tyrel Lucas (1-0-1) scored in the winning effort.

Justin Fulton (1-01), Rigby Burgart (11-2), and Paul Girodat (1-0-1) lit the lamp for Quesnel.

Williams Lake still has one game left against the Houston Luckies Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Puck drop is 3:30 p.m.

An annual postChristmas tradition continued this year as the Cariboo Canucks hockey club hosted its First Nations hockey tournament in Williams Lake.

Four divisions consisting of 16 teams — competitive, masters, recreation and women’s — made up the tournament, held late December.

In the competitive final it was last year’s runner-up, the Alkali Braves, returning the favour on last year’s champion, the host Cariboo Canucks, winning 4-1.

“It was kind of a back and forth game,” said Cecil Grinder, organizer of the tournament.

Matt Brenner held down the fort for the Braves in the win to take best goalie in the division.

The recreational division final saw Stone GexNat’i defeat the Williams Lake Cyroties, 7-2.

Grinder said Stone goaltender Tanner Nickel was phenomenal throughout the

tournament, winning best goalie.

And in the women’s final it was the host Cariboo Stars beating the Merritt Prowlers, 3-2. Bailey Schick won best goalie for the Stars.

“She got peppered,” Grinder said.

“She was huge in there and had fun.”

A new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document about the proposed Sam Ketcham Pool renovation and upgrade is now available through the Cariboo Regional District, the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Hard copies of the FAQ will be available at these offices and will also be posted on the following websites: Cariboo Regional District – cariboord.bc.ca City of Williams Lake – williamslake.ca Cariboo Memorial Complex - activewilliamslake.com A Facebook page dedicated to helping provide information to residents and an opportunity for residents to ask questions can be found at facebook.com/SamKetchamPool. A Twitter feed can also be found at @SKPReferendum. Be sure to check these sites often as we will continue to provide regular updated information about the proposed renovations and the referendum process as it becomes available.

Leading up to the Nov. 15 referendum, information will be distributed through various channels including the media, social media, the internet, the mail system and advertisements.

The referendum, which will be held on Nov. 15, 2014, will ask voters if they approve borrowing up to $10 million over 20 years. The remainder of the cost of the approximately $11.3 million project will need to be made up from grants, fundraising, and capital reserves. Proceeding with the project would result in a taxation increase for Central Cariboo Recreation services of approximately $40/$100,000 of residential assessment, including operating costs of the expanded facility.

The Cariboo Memorial Complex Pool Feasibility Study can be viewed on the CRD website at cariboord.bc.ca or on the City of Williams Lake website at williamslake.ca.

Piper extraordinaire in our Cariboo midst Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Sometimes it takes a solo to really figure out what’s going on with all those incredible pipers we see at Remembrance Day ceremonies and other special events around the lakecity.

The Ceilidh held at the Elks Hall in November showcased the talents of the Williams Lake Pipe Band as a whole and in several solo and small group performances.

Among the soloists was Cst. Mike Berns, who literally caused jaws (this one for sure) to drop upon hearing his extraordinary playing.

Mike says the solo set he played at the Ceilidh was composed of a traditional slow Air called the Dark Isle which he re-arranged to incorporate a number of “slurs” and “false fingering” to add to the haunting melody.

“The Air was then followed by a fast-paced jig that required rapid changes from the top hand to the bottom and the set finished with a Hornpipe that is a variation of a traditional tune called the Banjo Breakdown,” Berns says.

To the untrained ear, all I knew was that I was hearing something special, and when I inquired about his training the reason became clear.

He started playing the bagpipes at age 12 with the Legion Pipe Band in Campbell River and developed as a piper to perform nationally and internationally.

“I started playing because I wanted to do something different that incorporated some of my family’s Scottish background,” Berns says.

“As a young kid I was always captivated by the pipe bands in the parades that I saw and the lone pipe at Remembrance Day. “I wanted to be that lone piper.”

He developed his piping skills in the Army Cadet Program playing with various military bands and receiving instruction from top level military players.

In 1995 he toured France, Belgium and the Netherlands with a group from the Canadian Scottish Regiment Association and cadets.

“I was the piper for the tour and played at all of the major Battle Honour sites of the Regiment including Juno Beach, Dieppe, Ypres, Vimy Ridge and Wagenborgen.”

By the age of 16 Berns had worked his way through the solo competition circuit, achieving Grade 1 standing, the highest

The Timber Supply Review provides the Province’s chief forester with information required to determine the Allowable Annual Cut (AAC) — the maximum volume of timber to be harvested from the TSA — for the next 10 years. The public discussion paper includes background information, a summary of key issues to be addressed in the timber supply review and a summary of harvest forecasts from the timber supply analysis. The chief forester will consider this information along with public and First Nations input, and a variety of forest reports when a new AAC is determined.

4-H a cool way to learn new skills Brenda Van Wyck Jaydan Taylor Special to Tribune/Advisor Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and

Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Williams Lake Tribune

area.

I, Brenda Van Wyck, and my assistant Jaydan Taylor, are the new club reporters for the Rose Lake Miocene

4-H club.

To kick things off I’d like to invite kids of all ages from six to 21 years old to join 4-H this year.

Couple celebrates 69th anniversary

Photo submitted

Lyle and Mary James celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary with family and friends in Chimney Valley Friday, Dec. 27. The couple married in Linton, North Dakota on Dec. 27, 1944 and moved to Dog Creek in 1973 where they owned and operated the Circle S Ranch before retiring to Williams Lake in 2012. Lyle and Mary now reside at the Williams Lake Senior’s Village where they enjoy good food, great friends, and plenty of visitors as well as opportunities to participate in music presentations and other activities offered at the village.

As a 4-H member you learn cool things like how to fundraise; how to raise an animal; how to present a speech; how to judge market animals and projects; how to advertise; leadership skills; citizenship skills; life skills; and much more.

As a third-year member of 4-H, I can tell you that this is not only the coolest organization, it is also the most interesting, and that’s coming from a 17 year old.

Another thing about 4-H is that it’s not only for the kids. We welcome adults and parent volunteers to come join the 4-H community as well.

Jobs for parents can be as little as giving input and knowledge out at club meetings to as big and important as being small group leaders or even club leaders.

There is always so much to do in 4-H there is never a dull moment.

That’s why this year we’re striving to make it one of the best 4-H years yet.

Remember, the more

the merrier.

Have I convinced

you yet?

If not maybe I should

give you a list of proj

ects you can take on in

4-H.

These ideas include

market steer, market

lamb, market swine,

small engines, foods,

photography, dog,

horse, rabbit, adopt

a grandparent, cavy,

poultry, gardening,

wool craft, leather craft

and so forth!

I recommend 4-H to

everyone because of all

the personal benefits it

has and all the learning

experiences it gives.

Want to join? No

trouble, just go to this

website: http://www.

bc4h.bc.ca and find the

club nearest you.

Any questions?

If so feel absolutely free to check the BC 4-H website posted above.

Film club hosts cultural awareness Saturdays Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor You asked for it – we do it. Now we have to find out if you really meant it.

This coming Saturday, Jan. 18, we will once again bring you a Cultural Awareness Film. It will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 2 p.m., back doors open at 1:30 p.m. Admission is $5 per person, no admission charges for kids under the age of 12.

We begin our series with the eagerly awaited film The Hungry Tide, the latest documentary from internationally renowned filmmaker Tom Zubrycki.

In a remote corner of the Pacific, the rising

The Williams Lake Film Club will show The Hungry Tide Saturday at the Gibraltar Room starting at 2 p.m. sea level is threatening the lives of 105,000 people.

Scientists predict that Kiribati, the central Pacific nation spread across 33 atolls, will be one of the world’s first nations to disappear as a

result of climate change.

The same ocean that has sustained these beautiful islands for countless generations is now the source of their destruction.

Maria Tiimon, you may have heard the

interview with her on CBC last October, is originally from Kiribati (pronounced Kiribas).

Her native island of Beru is home to just 2,000 people.

The only one of her 13 siblings to leave the island, Maria now lives in Sydney, Australia, where she works for an NGO raising awareness of climate change issues in the Pacific.

Maria goes from talking to schools and community groups with her NGO delegation to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference.

In a dramatic week, low-lying island states push for a new, legally binding treaty.

The hope is for all na-

tions to agree on carbon emission reductions to prevent global temperature from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature increases by just two per cent, it will be catastrophic for Kiribati.

Evidence emerges of pressure from Australia to silence the Pacific nations and Maria’s delegation is left disappointed as Copenhagen ends in failure.

More countries, including Canada, are no longer following the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change.

Last October the first person applied to the UN for refugee status due to climate change.

take in 105,000 indigenous people and offer them security and a sustainable living?

After all, Kiribati has no natural resources, offers no jobs or profits to outsiders.

This film, The Hungry Tide, poses some very difficult questions, questions which will have to be answered in the very near future.

Proceeds from films presented by the Williams Lake Film Club help to support the

LDA, Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities.

The LDA is now proudly partnering with the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre.

We have three more Cultural Awareness Films planned for this season: INUK, The Queen of Versailles and Burt’s Buzz. You do not want to miss them (I hope) so check the Tribune on Wednesdays for updates.
