RCMP investigate rival gangs after shots fired Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Alexis Creek RCMP are investigating two rival gangs after shots were heard at the Anaham Reserve Saturday, Jan. 11.

“The Alexis Creek RCMP were investigating the recovery of a stolen truck when they heard a number of gun shots in the area,” said

Const. Lesley Smith, North District Media Relations Wednesday.

“We believe the shooting involved two rival gangs out of the Alexis Creek area,” Smith said.

“No shots were ever fired by the RCMP members and no one was injured.”

Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse said he could confirm there were shots fired and that a high speed

chase went through the reserve.

“Are there competing gangs on Anaham Reserve, absolutely, for as long as I’ve been chief. Some of the people involved are under 19 and some are over 19,” Alphonse said.

He’s heard from some people in the community there are no gangs, but said he has seen graffiti and tags from gangs on walls.

Come, see what you’ve been missing.

Alphonse said the only power community members have is to talk about the issue in a community setting and urge people not to engage in gang activity.

“That’s all we have. We’ve asked for help from the RCMP and we’ve asked the province. I have a meeting with the Minister of Justice in Williams Lake on Monday.”

LOCAL NEWS

Citizens ask to present new intersection concept Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A local citizens committee says a highway overpass and underpass at Toop Road accessed by roundabouts on each side, could be the best solution for Highway 97 North upgrades in Williams Lake.

“It solves every potential traffic situation there is,” committee spokesperson John Moon said Thursday.

The committee has been trying to present the concept (shown right) to city council since Dec. 19 so when council voted unanimously last Tuesday to pursue Option One — moving the intersection with lights from Carson north to Toop — the committee mobilized its efforts.

“We’ve made a request to present it to the committee of the whole Tuesday, but haven’t heard back,”

Moon said.

The committee’s concept design has been viewed by a traffic engineer in Vancouver who happens to be the same engineer who investigated a fatality at Highway 97 and Toop Road about seven years ago and wrote a report for ICBC, the Ministry of Transportation and the city, Moon said.

“When he saw the concept he said, ‘wow.’

He is very familiar with

this intersection and the one at Carson.”

Moon said presently there are two proposed overpasses for highway upgrades at Sugar Cane and Highway 97.

“If they can do two overpasses five miles south I’m sure they can do an underpass and overpass up here.”

In addition, an overpass/underpass configuration would leave the access points to the local streets and the city undisturbed, he said.

City proceeds with option to Highway 97 intersection Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer During the regular meeting Tuesday city council chose not to hire an independent traffic analyst and to go with Option One for the Highway 97 upgrade of intersections at Carson Drive and Toop Road.

At its December 17 meeting, council received a report in which staff recom-

mended Option Two. Instead of making a decision, however, council directed staff to bring a report to council in early January outlining the costs associated with engaging the services of an independent traffic engineer to review all documents and options associated with the project in regards to the effects they may have as they apply to traffic and pedestrian

safety and the access and egress of city frontage streets.

The request was driven by a citizens committee who told council it felt the city needed an independent analysis before making any decisions.

During the December meeting, Mayor Kerry Cook and Coun. Danica Hughes voted against the motion, while the rest of council was in favour.

On Tuesday evening, however Cook, Hughes, councillors Laurie Walters and Sue Zacharias voted against hiring an independent traffic engineer while councillors Ivan Bonnell and Surinderpal Rathor voted in favour.

After the vote Rathor said he was disappointed with council’s choice not to go with hiring the independent engineer.

“To me we’re not showing leadership to the community. We wasted a month. We could have done this last month on Dec. 17,” Rathor said.

All of council, however, voted in favour of pursuing Option One. “I don’t think Option One is perfect, but I am suggesting we move forward, refer it to staff to bring a report back to council with the next steps and

AN APPLE A DAY...

An annual physical will sometimes reveal that you have prediabetes.

This means that your blood sugar isn’t so high that you have diabetes but it is a warning sign. Each year, up to 8% of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes. This can be prevented by losing weight, exercise and eating more sensibly. Just losing 10 lb can reduce your risk. January is a good time of the year to start.

One of the changes people can make to their diets in 2014 is to eat more fish. It’s the omega-3 fatty acids in fish that make it such a good food to protect against stroke and heart attacks. Salmon is a good place to start.

Coughs come as two main types: productive and non-productive. A productive cough is that loose, rattling type of cough that feels like your chest is full of phlegm. The non-productive cough is a dry hacking one. To help the productive cough, drink lots of water, use a vaporizer and take expectorant cough syrups.

These treatments will help thin out that thick mucus.

Just another reminder for smokers. One of the most common causes of productive coughs is chronic cigarette smoking. Stopping smoking will produce better results than any cough syrup our pharmacists can suggest.

Cough syrups vary in their ability to help sooth a cough. Ask our pharmacists for advice, especially when it comes to small children with coughs.

suggested revisions,” Mayor Kerry Cook said before council voted. “I think we have enough information and feedback and have narrowed it down. I think it’s important we continue to narrow it down in one direction, recognizing that we need to make sure it’s well thought out.”

On Thursday Coun.

Sue Zacharias said after reading all the material and reread-

ing the reports and submissions that were handed in about the options, Option Two, which tied into Johnson Street, clearly was not an option.

“If you read the petition handed in by the citizens committee Option One clearly came through as the preferred choice,” Zacharias said.

Puppy on the mend Police take down Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Animal lover Michelle Lavoie is thrilled with the outpouring of support for injured SPCA puppy Samantha.

Last week Lavoie met Samantha at the SPCA shortly after she was found with a broken leg on the highway north of Williams Lake.

A volunteer at the SPCA, Lavoie was so moved by Samantha’s gentle nature that she posted on Cariboo Pet Connect’s Facebook page requesting financial help to support vet bills.

“She’s such a loveable dog ... I couldn’t be happier,” Lavoie said on Samantha’s successful ongoing recovery.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

SPCA animal care supervisor Alicia Kvist and Samantha prepare for the dog’s surgery Tuesday.

Thanks to generous public donations, Samantha underwent surgery Tuesday to have her damaged leg removed.

The abandoned injured puppy Samantha is recovering from successful surgery at Williams Lake SPCA. Branch manager Liz Dighton said Lavoie’s effort made a difference.

“She did do a lot to help us,” Dighton said.

“All those people who typed in on Facebook that they’d help, she actually went back and contacted them and really encouraged them to donate instead of just talk about it.”

The cost of the surgery was $800 and donations exceeded $2,800 as of Monday.

“The money raised will go to help other animals like Samantha,” Dighton said.

Weather causes outages Wind, snow and tree damage from snow loading caused power outages in the Horsefly area this week.

“After the first few outages, the crews decided to take the system down for a planned six-hour outage and they took down over 100 trees that were in a position, that as soon as they restarted they’d be coming back to deal with the trees doing damage to the system,” said BC Hydro’s community relations co-ordinator Dave Mosure Wednesday.

“They dealt with

these trees so they aren’t going to be a problem going forward.”

In Northern B.C., BC Hydro is also still recovering from a severe wind storm that hammered the area Tuesday.

B.C. Hydro predicts for many, power will not be restored until Friday evening at the earliest.

Power outages are affecting residents in Burns Lake, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort Nelson, Fort. St. James, Fort. St. John, Houston, Hudsons

crack shacks Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP executed eight search warrants on crack shacks in 2013, Insp. Warren Brown told city council Tuesday.

The warrants were significant because the crack shacks prey upon people who have addictions and who need to get the money, said Insp.

Warren Brown.

“That need for money fuels property crime in our community. If we can attack the crack shacks we would have a greater opportunity to deter crime.”

Last year’s search warrants resulted in sending people to jail and seizing thousands of dollars in

cash and drugs, Brown said.

“For those who we had a hard time convincing they were in the wrong business, we convinced some of them to leave our community.”

While this is a displacement of crime, Brown said until he has another answer it’s a win situation for Williams Lake to have drug dealers leave because it makes the community safer.

Brown said he anticipates in the very near future there will be more search warrants.

“It’s no secret we know who the crack dealers are in the community,” he said. “So don’t be upset when we are kicking your door down.”

PROMOTING POSITIVE ACTION FOR YOUTH

hall?

City councillors made some brow-raising decisions at Tuesday night’s city council meeting.

A group of city residents filled the seats to await word on council’s expected decision to hire an independent traffic analyst at their request –– only to witness council do an about face turn on the subject.

Just before Christmas, council tasked city staff to come up with a report which would detail costs associated with engaging the services of an independent traffic engineer to review any impacts or improvements associated with a new proposed intersection on the highway.

The committee felt the city needed to seek data and opinion independent of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on the matter. Back in the summer months, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure put forward two options for the city to consider, neither of

which meet the approval of residents in the area, according to the citizens committee.

It was an emotional roller coaster for disappointed citizens Tuesday night, when council changed their direction. Council surprised everyone even further with four councillors voting for Option one, two abstaining, without any debate or reasoning as to why. Option one would see the intersection moved from Carson to Toop along with a few modern improvements, for an expected price tag of $4 million to the city. So far, most of council has apparently refused to sit down with the group to discuss other design possibilities, the committee says.

The citizens group is now awaiting word to address council at the city’s next committee of the whole meeting next week and are also meeting with MLA Donna Barnett. They say they are also pursuing a meeting with Premier Christy Clark, whose Cariboo Connector vision started the whole discussion in the first place.

From three to seven: heavenly puppies a real handful Here’s a nice thought. Dogs are not only loving companions who crave your affection and give theirs most freely, but they also teach you to release yourself in love as they themselves, set the example.

Dog lovers well know this. And they do no doubt, contribute to your heath and well-being.

However, I have come to realize, puppies are to be considered, quite another matter.

I have three dogs and one of them was pregnant. Now I have seven dogs.

To my delight, the Shelties mated and the female named “Mickey” came through with four puppies. Now, the adage, ‘Be careful what you wish for,’ couldn’t be more true in my case.

OK, so they’re cute as a bug and very endearing, yet they have been nothing but a challenge for me.

The first one?

I heard a squeal at 6:30 a.m. and our little Mickey was giving birth.

A View From Bob

by Robert Nichol

Then I did what every other redblooded male would do when witnessing a birthing — I panicked!

Calling the ranch lady down the road was my only option other than midwifery. She came in a flash and having handily helped birth many an animal, was on top of her game. Thank God. Then I built this skookum puppy pen which I felt was basically foolproof. Guess who ended up being the fool here?

They kept getting out. So far

there have been eight breakouts.

I called it “The Great Escape,” in honour of Steve McQueen.

(Even he would be impressed.)

I finally won the last round, although I had to resort to bricking them in to Supermax prison standards.

There is only so much a prisoner can do especially when they only weight 3 kilos facing up to a determined male contender of 170 pounds. (You do the math for metric.)

Also I, who have played executive roles in organizations and having had many management responsibilities in my life, was not going to let a pack of pups get the best of me.

Yet I couldn’t for the life of me, get on top of puppy managing.

I am loath to admit, they outsmarted me at every turn. A child at 12 weeks would be helpless, not these little beggars. If I had a combination lock, I am sure they would figure it out.

At first, I was mindful that

they had to be fed and taken to the vet for shots and all that and make sure their water dish was full which was far more frequent than one might have considered.

However, it turns out that there is more to it than that. (Don’t we always find out the hard way?)

Once they got their legs under them, they trampled over everything in the sheer excitement of just being alive, including their food.

Which by the way, they voraciously cleaned up in a matter of seconds, without leaving a speck.

I am thinking of using them to clean the kitchen plates, as they are far more effective than the dishwasher.

Now they have discovered how to howl as a pack in high falsetto voices giving the local coyotes a real run for their money.

As things progressed, cleaning up the messy puppy pen was my directive to me. It finally got to me that something had to be done.

The smell alone would drive

away the neighbours, (if I had any, which I don’t, fortunately.)

The large plastic tarp was unraveled and torn little pieces of paper were spread everywhere. I, having mistakenly put newspaper in there thinking they would go on it. Instead they tore it to shreds.

And then the shreds to shreds.

Speaking of which, a couple of them found their way into my office on one of their escapades and chewed up some of my papers. I tell you dear readers, I’m usually a cool guy, but that for me, is the penultimate indiscretion.

You can get easily caught as they look at you with innocent little faces, but don’t you dare turn your back.

I ran out of the expensive dry food I bought at the vet for the puppies so got smart and ground up the bigger dogs crunchies into finer pieces using the coffee grinder. My coffee now tastes like puppy chow.

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Harper rapped for wrong reasons Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election.

TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver.

They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the month.

They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism.

As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.”

Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.”

I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero, and that hasn’t happened since 1994.

Also, “climate justice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth.

DePape is the former Senate page fired in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation among others.

One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the consolidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of them in

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Sidney, B.C. This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called “war on science,” and has been compared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt.

Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting mea-

sure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access.

So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they stumbled on something pertinent?

The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year.

That’s for all 11 facilities combined.

And if anyone has even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it.

Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question.

To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful.

It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help.

Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast.

Then he was off to a photo op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the

Trans-Canada Trail.

I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news.

It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association.

And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009.

Some cost cutting is in order all right.

New Year’s resolutions may be something of the past I am wondering if making New Year’s resolutions is a thing of the past.

On Tuesday when I went out to ask people what resolutions they had made for the paper’s question of the week, it was like pulling teeth.

Most people said they don’t make them because they always break them.

One man said he’d decided to quit smoking, but holding up a package of freshly purchased cigarettes, shook his head and said he had broken that resolution already.

Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski

I told him the timing has to be right to quit smoking. I’ve seen that in my family and friends over the years.

A woman shrugged and said she always wants to make a resolution to lose weight, but it backfires.

“I’m hoping by not making a

resolution, I might get fit,” she smiled.

I saw a great cartoon over the holidays featuring two dogs.

One dog asked the other what a New Year’s resolution was.

“It’s a to-do list for the first week of January,” was the reply.

It made me chuckle, as I contemplated whether to make any resolutions or not.

I thought hard over the Christmas break about things I would like to change in 2014 around stress and work and being more attentive to my children so they don’t have to repeat things they’ve

already told me.

Part of balancing work and stress led me to return to jogging on Father’s Day. It felt great, but within a few months I had to admit I needed to do some strengthening work.

During the month of December I attended four TRX classes on my lunch hour.

The TRX regime involves using two bands, hooked to the wall and a lot of strengthening exercises.

I liked it and tried to listen to my body as the instructor suggested.

Within a few days of the first

class, however, I went from wondering if I was having an appendicitis attack to worrying my ulcerative colitis was acting up.

When I returned for the second class and felt the first twinge as I began the exercises, I realized, humbly, my tummy needed work.

Normally I approach September as my new year, but this time around, I don’t think I can afford to wait.

While the snow will come and go outside, the abdominal snowball nestled securely beneath my belly button won’t be going away any time soon.

B.C. flu vaccine supply runs low The Ministry of Health is reporting a record number of Health-care workers across the province have vaccinated a record number of British Columbians against this year’s flu, reports the Ministry of

Health.

Nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have rolled up their sleeves to to get the influenza vaccine, even though this year’s flu season is not more severe than past years.

According to the

Artist at work

ministry, the vast majority of those impacted by influenza make a complete recovery after seven to 10 days of illness.

The relatively rare, more serious complications of this year’s strain have affected a younger-than-usual segment of the population, likely leading to the vaccine increase.

Despite ordering 1.401 million doses of influenza vaccine, the government reports the unprecedented demand for the vaccine means that there is the likelihood that B.C. will experience temporary gaps in influenza supply and availability.

Provinces and territories across the country are experiencing similar challenges with vaccine supply, and B.C. is continuing to work with the federal

government to obtain additional supply of the vaccine.

As a result of these efforts, B.C. is expecting about 5,000 more doses to arrive during the week of Jan. 21 and another 3,000 doses during the week of Jan. 28, and the Province has requested another 13,000 doses.

These vaccines will be available to eligible persons in all regions of the province, based on demand.

Public health officials are recommending that anyone with an underlying health condition that can increase the risk of a serious complication, such as heart or lung disorders, kidney disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes, cancer or a weakened immune system, discuss receiving a prescription for

Maggie’s scandalous soirée with 1 ½ boxes of chocolates was awesome… UNTIL Dr. Doug ended up having to induce vomiting. Somehow, the chocolate tasted much better going down than it did coming up. Luckily Maggie was okay, but this isn’t always the case. The chemical theobromine, found in chocolate, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, seizures and in severe cases, death.

Although Maggie was quite shaken by the turn of events, there’s no guarantee that she learned her lesson… one can only hope her owners did!

Robbie Burns Night celebrations set Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The annual Robbie Burns Night celebration with all the charm of Scottish heritage is coming up at the legion on Saturday, Jan. 25.

There will be several entertainers during the evening including the Williams Lake Pipe Band and solos by piper Mike Berns, along with the duo of Angus Morrison on pipes, Lorraine Baker on keyboards.

Sharon Hoffman and Sandi Alaric will sing the Scottish songs

Angus Morrison (left), on small pipes, Lorraine Baker on keyboard, and Ken Emory on violin played at the Celtic Ceilidh held at the Elks Hall in November. Angus and Lorraine will also be performing together at the Robbie Burns Night celebration at the legion coming up Saturday, Jan.25.

Mull of Kintyre written by Paul McCartney and two other songs, says event spokesperson Vivian

MacNeil.

Depending on availability, she says Scottish dancers may also be performing at the

event.

The traditional Immortal Memory to the famed Scottish poet Robbie Burns will be given by MacNeil and Doug White.

“This year we will be concentrating on his music, not his character,” MacNeil says.

She says White will also sing The Star of Robbie Burns and Auld Lang Sane.

The haggis bearer will be piper Joe Bazan who will be piped in by Doug White with escorts Aubrey Jackson and his son Denzel.

Cocktails are at 5 p.m. and dinner is at

6:30 p.m. with the traditional Scottish fare of roast Black Angus beef, neeps (turnips), bashed tatties (mashed potatoes), peas, and haggis from the butcher Peter Black in Vancouver.

MacNeil says they are so lucky that Peter Black was able to supply the haggis for the Williams Lake event this year because Park Royal where the shop is located is currently closed for renovations.

Dessert is traditional Scottish trifle and short bread.

Tickets are available at the legion.

Library counts down to the Oscars The Cariboo Regional District’s Williams Lake Area Library Branch is getting Oscar fever.

The CRD announced three, free film screenings of 2013 Oscar nominees and winners, in anticipation of the 2014 Oscar Awards Ceremony on March 2. All screenings take place in the Williams Lake Lobrary program room.

The first film Amour, the 2013 winner for

On Wednesday, Feb.

5, 7 p.m., David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook will be screened. For her performance in this film, Jennifer Lawrence won the 2013 Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role.

The film centres on former teacher Pat Solitano, who moves back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife after a stint in a mental institution.

Best Picture of the Year 2013 nominee Zero Dark Thirty will be screened on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 7 p.m.

Directed by Kathryn Bigeolow (The Hurt Locker), Zero Dark Thirty chronicles the decade-long hunt for alQaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at

She was listed as a governess and her destination was Vancouver.

Within months, Kirk was in the gold mining town of Atlin, B.C. where she spent her first winter in Canada just south of the 60th parallel.

She worked as a nurse’s helper in St. Andrew’s Mission Hospital and painted images of Lake Atlin and the mining community.

In the 1911 Canadian census, Miss Kirk was listed as living in Empire Valley, B.C. She was a public school teacher and boarded with widow Jennie Woods and her two sons Charles and William H. on the Empire Valley Ranch.

There were eight children in the Brown and Bishop families which weren’t enough to warrant a school.

The Zimmerly family was promised land if they moved from Ashcroft and added their children to the school.

A new school building was constructed near Brown Lake in 1910.

by Edith Kirk.

How Miss Kirk found this job, how she got to the community, how long she stayed and how she faired as a school teacher is unknown.

What she painted of the area is also unknown.

But the Galt Museum and Archives in Lethbridge, Alberta is interested in learning the answers to these questions.

Miss Edith Fanny Kirk was born near Sheffield, England in July 1858.

Her mother died when Edith was only three years old. She and her father and brother moved to the Manchester area where Edith’s father remarried in 1870.

Edith, who was 12 at the time, could not get along with her stepmother.

Edith was enrolled in Manchester School of Art to provide her an opportunity to expand her artistic talents and to alleviate the tension at home.

In 1888, Edith received accreditation as

an art teacher.

Besides living in Atlin and Empire Valley, Kirk also lived in Vancouver and in Kelowna, BC and St. John, New Brunswick.

She attended several Alpine Club of Canada camps, not as a climber but as an artist.

She returned to England for a year in 1914-1915 but chose to return to Canada.

In 1918, Miss Kirk ar-

oping an exhibit and publication for 2015 about Miss Kirk and her life and is looking for information, photographs and paintings that will help tell more of her story in Empire Valley.

She painted watercolour images everywhere she lived, so there may be paintings still existing in the area.

Her paintings were signed E. F. Kirk.

If you have any information, photos or paintings please contact Curator Wendy Aitkens at wendy.aitkens@galtmuseum. com Wendy Aitkens is Curator of the Galt Museum and Archives which is located in Lethbridge, Alberta.

Snowed in family looks for charity Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A family living in the Chilcotin Military Training Area has been snowed in for almost a month.

Susanne Peter said their special needs son Colton hasn’t been to school since early November or attended scheduled appointments with the Child Development Centre in Williams Lake. “We are desperate,�

Peter said, noting they were unable to receive hay for their animals. “We have lost some of our animals. We have some pregnant horses and we lost a foal out of our best brood mare that we could have sold for a good amount of money.�

The Peters have no family or connections in Williams Lake and Peter said it’s not an option to move into town. “If we leave our animals they will die.�

Peter is hoping someone will plough the Strousse Lake Forest Service road so they can get in and out of their property.

Up until November the Peters used the Deer Trail Road which brought them to the Stack Valley Road down to Highway 30.

On Nov. 5 the De-

If we leave our animals they will die.�

- Susanne Peter partment of National Defence de-activated the Deer Ridge Trail and replaced it with a shorter road connecting to the Rosa Mackin and Strousse Lake forest service roads.

For its part, the Department of National Defence said the new road provides better access for the family. “The Deer Ridge Trail road was maintained for a period of time by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada in support of logging in that area, but when the logging ended last summer, DND deactivated it for environmental and safety concerns,� said Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Long, Chief of Operations at 3rd Canadian Division Support Group. “Every spring Deer Ridge Trail was washed out by runoff because it’s on the side of a hill,� Long said. “Then the washout would go down into a drainage creek on the bottom which impact-

ed the environment.�

Scott also said the Deer Ridge Trail had 13 to 15 per cent grades in most places and some of the culverts washed out. “From our point we deactivated it for environmental and safety concerns, but not until the new road was built,� Long said.

Peter disagreed saying there were never any problems with the Deer Ridge Trail Road, however, she has complained about the DND roads in the past.

“We were set up for it, we could maintain it. We had a truck and a snow plow which was all we needed. There was one hill and the rest of the road was flat,� she said. “The new road is a disaster.

It’s pretty hilly and just wait until spring comes. They never put any gravel on it or packed it. It will wash out. It’s all clay based and we’re going to sink out of sight.�

Peter has been on the phone calling everywhere.

She has written the Queen and the Prime Minister but has received no help, she says. “When the fires were happening in 2010 they were so concerned to get us out of here so we wouldn’t get burnt, but now

The family has a registered charity account in their son’s name and said if someone was willing to plough the road for them, they could write it off. “I am absolutely sympathetic with their situation, trust me, but again at the end of the day I have to ask myself is this a better option than what they had before,� Scott said. “The Deer Ridge Trail was not maintained and was in the middle of an area not heavily trafficked. If they broke down they are on their own. The forestry roads are twolaned, there are bridges, it’s maintained and there’s traffic.�

Cock-a-leekie soup a must in the winter time With winter upon us, I suspect more soups will be eaten around the kitchen table, in front of the TV, or maybe as a nice warm lunch when you are out in the bush running a loader.

The nice thing about soups, most of them are so easy to make and you can easily make your own stock by saving the drippings in your pan or roaster when cooking a meat or vegetables.

There are so many good stocks for making soup in the grocery stores it almost doesn’t seem worthwhile to make it yourself.

Don’t throw away the good taste you can get, let’s say, when boiling carrots, because the water will get the nice taste of the vegetable.

Save that and when you want to make a

vegetable soup, you could use this as the stock or part of it.

It’s a shame to throw that goodness down the sink.

Some of the best soups come from people opening their fridge and throwing a bunch of vegetables, some left over beef or barley, into a pot with some stock, some spices and herbs, and not long after a fragrant and tasty soup emerges.

The neat thing about soup, just put it in a thermos and you are good for a day in

Mother Nature’s wonderland.

Cock-a-Leekie soup is a Scottish peasantstyle dish with many regional variations some which go back as far as the 16th century.

Some cooks may add chopped grilled bacon, some use beef, but like many soups there are and can be many variations.

Cock a Leekie Soup • One two pound chicken • 12 medium sized leeks, washed and cut into 3/4 inch pieces • 4 ounces of long grain rice or barley • 4 medium sized carrots, peeled and grated • Salt and crushed black pepper • Put the chicken into pot of water to cover it and add in half of the leeks.

• Cover the pot and simmer gently for

about an hour or until chicken is falling from bone.

• Remove the bird and set aside.

• Strain the stock in a fresh pot, add in rice or barley in a covered pot for about 10 minutes.

• Add in grated carrots and the rest of the

leeks, then cook for a further 20 minutes.

• Season with salt and pepper.

You can put in a little of the cooked chicken if you wish.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Potato House planning new season Marin Patenaude Special to Tribune/Advisor The Potato House Sustainable Community Society had a big year in 2013 and is gearing up for another season of growth and inspiration with its 2014 annual meeting coming up Monday.

Watching the little white and blue trimmed house on the corner of Borland Street and First Avenue transform has caught the attention of the community.

A year ago the quarter acre lot hosted dilapidated fences and sprawling invasive weeds but showed promise of potential.

This year the broken fences are gone and the grounds are home to much more than just weeds.

The Potato House Sustainable Community Society is a volunteer group of compassionate citizens with a vision for a sustainable future.

They nurture and in-

• Win one of 10 $

spire a community that reflects on self-sufficiency, environmental impact, artistic expression, and the health and wellbeing of our minds, bodies and the planet.

After months of chasing every funding opportunity available, the Potato House Project hit a home run with the approval of financial support from the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC).

The funding approval was mainly based on the implementation of a community composting project for downtown Williams Lake. To ensure the project’s forward motion, they hired me, the first Potato House staff member and executive director.

With a diverse skill set, I set to work 20 hours a week. With the approval of government subsidy I was working full time after the first six months.

These extra hours allowed for more im-

mediate development.

The small alley way that runs beside Caribou Ski Source for Sports and behind The Gecko Tree now hosts a line of pallet compost bins that are being filled up fast by neighbouring businesses and homes.

On any given day you can watch as dedicated compost enthusiasts empty their buckets during lunch breaks, or groups of kids from the local daycares relish in the science of it all, finding fascination in the decomposition of organic material.

The grounds also host a large plot of vivacious soil for organic food production, raised beds for community gardening, native and heritage plant propagation, and urban bee farming.

In the upcoming season, the Potato House society hopes to see even more visible development, including the installation of a new fence, a gazebo area open to be used

and enjoyed by everyone, more raised beds, and more established and high-yielding garden spaces.

The project remains land-based for the time being, but this year lends hope to developing and renovating the actual house.

The vision is to create a high profile dropin centre that provides education and inspiration of concepts regarding self-sufficiency, environmental stewardship and community vitality.

On Monday, Jan. 20 at the Scout Island Nature Centre, the Potato House Sustainable Community Society will be hosting it’s annual general meeting.

The invitation extends throughout the community and anyone interested in learning more, getting involved, renewing their membership or becoming a new member is encouraged to attend.

A pot luck, potatothemed dinner for members, starts at 5

p.m.

The dinner will be followed by a brief annual general meeting, then a slide show presentation on my adventure down the Fraser River this summer.

Memberships and community calendars will be available. Membership fees are $20 for singles, $30 for families, and $100 for corporations.

Encouraging outdoor enthusiasts to explore training opportunities and stay safe in the backcountry is the focus of Avalanche Awareness Days taking place Jan. 18-19, this weekend.

Organized by local volunteer groups and supported by the Canadian Avalanche Centre, Avalanche Awareness Days events are taking place around British Columbia in communities such as 100 Mile House, where the South Cariboo Search and Rescue (SCSR) are hosting a two day, Level One Avalanche Safety course.

Shane Gunn, backcountry and avalanche director for SCSR, is co-instructing the Canadian Avalanche Association accredited course with Dave Merritt of Prince George.

“The focus of the course is to keep you

This is the second course the organization has hosted this season for those venturing into the backcountry.

Gilles Valade, executive director of the Canadian Avalanche Centre, says it’s important to be prepared when going into the backcountry.

of it the What’s happening at the Complex Fitness programs for seniors While regular exercise is recommended for people of all ages, fitness for seniors is considered particularly important in promoting health, longevity and reducing the risks associated with various ailments.

Regular exercise among the elderly may reduce the risks of acquiring colon cancer, coronary heart disease, type two diabetes, and pain or discomfort associated with arthritis.

Since vigorous exercise may seem daunting to senior citizens who already suffer from health conditions and general aches and pains, fitness for seniors often varies a bit from fitness for younger people. Some types of recommended exercise, however, remain the same for people of all ages.

In order to stay fit, healthy and limber, seniors need four different types of exercise.

Endurance activities such as walking, swimming, or riding a bike which build “staying power” and improve the health of the heart and circulatory system Strengthening exercises which build muscle tissue and reduce age-related muscle loss Stretching exercises to keep the body limber and

flexible Balance exercises to reduce the chances of a fall The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex offers programs for seniors that incorporate all four types of exercise.

Gentle Fit is a class designed for seniors, beginners and plus size individuals. It combines light aerobics (endurance activities) and strength exercises as well as balance exercises to reduce the risk of falling. Each workout is completed with a relaxing cool down and stretching period.

Gentle Fit: Tuesdays & Thursdays 9:30 am10:30am.

Aquafit is a total body workout that is ideal for seniors as it is gentle on their joints while still delivering an effective combination of cardio, strength and muscular endurance exercises.

Drop-In Aquafit Program: Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays 12:00pm-2:45pm Tuesdays & Thursdays 1:00 pm - 1:45 pm and 8:00 pm-8:45 pm.

all at the same time so it is considered a totalbody work out. Since water provides resistance, it develops your muscles’ strength and endurance and at the same time, it enhances flexibility.

Senior Drop-In Rate: $3.70.

Monthly and Annual passes are available at the affordable senior rates.

CMRC instructors are experienced working with seniors and will ensure that they tailor different fitness options to each and every individual in their classes.

Ali, one of the Aquafit instructors explains, “It is important to understand how physical changes in the aging adult affect health, flexibility, muscles, core stability, cardio-respiratory and body composition. I use my knowledge to design fitness programs for mature clients” Seniors who are planning to join a fitness class, but are nervous about whether or not the class is a good fit for them should take time to talk to the instructor of the class and inform them of any injuries or concerns that they may have.

If the instructor is aware of physical weaknesses such as weak knees for example, she will provide different

variations of exercises throughout the workout that limit the amount of stress put on the knees.

12 months to a healthier new you Start the New Year by developing a new mind set.

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is offering a 12 month, 12 step program called Eating Habit Busting. This program helps participants achieve their personal goals by approaching weight loss and healthy living one supported step at a time.

Many people enter the new year with the will and the energy to make changes in their lives, but restrictive diets and rigorous exercise regimes are hard to maintain and they soon begin to cheat and miss classes. This program takes a sustainable approach to change by recognizing that the body and mind need three weeks to accept lifestyle modifications.

One adjustment will be made each month and these small changes with accumulate into a healthy new you.

The program includes three lectures and regular monthly tips to help participants analyze where their ‘bad habits’ are coming from and why they

are so hard to change. The first lecture will focus on what is happening in the brain and why it is difficult to resist high fat, high sugar foods. The other two topics will be based on group input. If many of the participants are struggling with emotional eating, a counselor will be booked for a session to address this issue. Face to face interactions will be paired with optional weekly weigh-ins and a 12 month Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex membership.

The annual membership can be paid in monthly installments and includes a personal training session with one of our BCRPA registered instructors.

The first and last month payment must be made upon registration.

The Complex membership includes a full spectrum of aquafit and dry land fitness classes, access to the fitness centre and pool, as well as drop in skating and drop in shinney hockey.

These include Aquafit, Gentle Fit, and Balance & Agility.

Swimming is another excellent option to build core and cardiovascular fitness without putting pressure on bones and joints. Yogalates and Toned TRX are two classes that help build core strength, yet allow students to work to their own ability, building and strengthening week after week.

Williams Lake professional boxer Stuart McLellan (left) spars with two-time Canadian Olympic boxer, Edmonton’s Adam Trupish, Tuesday in Williams Lake in preparation for the hometown boxer’s upcoming fight in March.

Olympian Trupish, McLellan, land one-two punch Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake professional boxer Stuart McLellan was on the receiving end of some world-class training this week.

Two-time Canadian Olympic boxer and former 11th-ranked middleweight on the planet Adam Trupish was in Williams Lake to help McLellan prepare for an upcoming March title fight.

The undefeated McLellan, 27, who won the Canadian Maritime Title in a bout with Francis Lafreniere last September in Halifax, is scheduled to take on Quebec’s John Alejandro Gonzalez — a 19-year-old with a perfect 3-0 record — for the vacant East Versus West middleweight minor title in Moncton, N.B., March 8.

Trupish, 34, who represented Canada at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics as an amateur and has since put together an 11-1 (8 KOs) professional record, arrived

I’ve always been a firm believer in it’s not where you train, it’s how you train.”

- Adam Trupish in Williams Lake from Edmonton last Thursday and has since been working in and outside the ring with McLellan and other members of the Williams Lake Boxing Club.

The pugilistic friendship began after Trupish invited McLellan and his brother, fellow professional boxer Roberto, to Edmonton last year to help him prepare for what would eventually become a successful North American Title bid.

Now, he said it’s his turn to return the favour.

“I’m excited to be here,” Trupish said Tuesday during a sparring session at the boxing club. “I’m excited for Stu and his fight and he’s got a big year ahead of himself so this is just one of the steps to the utmost

goal of wearing the belt around his waist.”

What struck him about the facility and the club, located in the basement of the Western Wood Heat building along Highway 97, was its grassroots feel, which he said reminded him of his hometown club in Windsor, Ont., where his amateur career — comprised of 250 fights spanning around the globe — blossomed.

“I like it here,” he said.

“I’m a small-town boy originally so I don’t mind it at all and it’s nice to get out of the city and back to the bare essentials. I’ve always been a firm believer in it’s not where you train, it’s how you train.”

McLellan said the opportunity to work with one

of the top fighters in Canada has been a phenomenal experience.

“It’s been excellent,” McLellan said. “To be at home and have one of the top fighters in Canada to work with is just an awesome feeling. We wanted to get some good work in and get some fresh ideas from someone more experienced and just make training camp more fun.”

McLellan, who has a professional record of 9-03 (2 KOs) and is the fifthranked middleweight in the country, added he’s feeling good heading into his March bout.

“I’m just taking it one step at a time and looking at one fight at a time,” he said. “But I want big fights, and I don’t just want to

beat guys, I want to fight the best. Win or lose, I don’t care but I want to fight the best.”

As for Trupish, he’s confident McLellan will continue to improve and said he sees great potential in his friend and training partner.

“He’s got lots of potential because, you know, he hasn’t had a lot of wars and ring rust,” Trupish said. “It takes a lot out of a fighter having fights all the time.

Now he’s a bit older — you learn more because you understand the game a lot more but he’s been around for a long time.”

He added the McLellans, whose dad, Gary, coaches the WLBC, are truly a boxing family.

Hockey Day in Canada to feature lakecity team Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake peewee girls Benny and the Jets house team will be featured on CBC’s Hockey Day in Canada this Saturday, Jan. 18.

Hockey Day in

Canada will air from Prince George this weekend, with part of the festivities featuring the Williams Lake team squaring off against their northern rivals.

“The Prince George girls team we played against last weekend

asked us to come up again to play against them for Hockey Day in Canada,” said Elisabeth Pocock, team manager with Benny and the Jets.

Saturday, starting at 8:15 a.m., the two teams will play.

“It’s going to be

taped by CBC and they’re going to show snippets throughout the day,” she said.

“It should be pretty good. They’ve got NHL alumni coming up there to talk to the girls and Scotiabank is doing some things for the girls, as well.”

Epee de Groundhog to celebrate 14th annual fencing event The groundhog is coming.

That’s the message from Glen Burill, president of the Scout Island Fencing Club (SIFC), who is preparing to host the 14th Annual Epee de Groundhog fencing competition on Saturday, Feb. 1.

“We’ll be at our salle d’armes at the Mount-

view elementary gym,” Burill said.

Epee de Groundhog, or the groundhog’s sword, has a longstanding tradition in Williams Lake.

The SIFC was created in 1997 when Burill and a group of friends were looking for a place to fence.

With no gym or building to operate out

of Scout Island became the go-to spot for fencers within Williams Lake.

The inaugural Epee de Groundhog was hosted in 2001.

This year’s event will feature under 12 epee, cadet epee, open epee and open sabre divi-

sions.

“We begin at 9 a.m. but would appreciate help with the set up and tear down,” Burill said.

“Come on out for lots of fencing and fun.”

Anyone is invited to attend.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Some late-game heroics helped Williams Lake Yellow beat Kamloops 4-3 in a shootout Sunday to win the Williams Lake Bantam House Tournament.

Down 2-0 after Kamloops’ Pierce Huser and John Black both beat Yellow netminder Lane Spooner, Williams Lake turned it around.

Logan Denny, racing down the middle of the ice, put a shot high blocker side past the Kamloops’ goaltender to get his club on the board in the second frame, before Arlen Letnes evened up the score shortly after his team killed off a twoman Kamloops advantage.

In the third period Jared Huston took off on a breakaway down the left-wing boards,

Falcons fourth in Vanderhoof Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Lake City Falcons senior girls’ basketball team picked up a fourth-place finish at a tournament in Vanderhoof over the weekend.

Head coach Brigette Peel said the team is coming together steadily as they get more experience playing together, and has amassed an eight-win, five-loss record so far this season.

The Falcons opened the tournament strong with a 53-44 win over their northern rivals, the Correlieu Clan from Quesnel. Montana Reid was the game-high scorer dropping 26 points in the contest. Teammate Erika Weber had 11 and was named player of the game.

Next, the Falcons faced a tough Nechako Valley (Vanderhoof) squad. Reid, again, was the Falcons’ high scorer dropping 11, while centre Kaylee Billyboy chipped in seven and was named player of the game, however, the

Falcons fell 59-30.

“Nechako and Duchess Park ended up playing in the final,” Peel said. “Both were really strong teams. Duchess was ranked third in the province last time I checked and they’re two of the best ‘AA’ teams in our zone.”

In their last game the Falcons dropped another hard-fought battle to College Heights of Prince George, 5650.

“We were up 46-44 at the beginning of the last quarter, so it was a bit frustrating,” Peel said. “We have lots of potential and we’re putting together a decent season so far.”

Reid scored 17 points and was the Falcons’ leading scorer, while Weber potted 14 of her own. Weber picked up her second player-ofthe-game award in the contest.

Last Thursday the Falcons hosted Fraser Lake in an exhibition game in Williams Lake.

There, Billyboy dropped 17 points to lead all scorers in a

Minor fastball in danger of shutting down Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association is sitting on a full count.

Michele Tenning, president of the WLMFA, said unless volunteers step forward to take over the league the association will be forced to shut down this season.

“It’s sad,” Tenning said. “But we have such strong support in the younger age groups, but all the people volunteering

right now their kids are finishing this year with ball and they’re leaving.”

The WLMFA, which housed 170 players from T-ball to bantam last season at the Esler Sports Complex, receives a $15,000 grant from the Cariboo Regional District each year for field improvements, upkeep and upgrades.

“It would be such a shame,” Tenning said.

“It’s a beautiful park and because we’ve been keeping things up it’s looking really

good up there.”

Tenning, along with other volunteers Trish Morey and Lynn Samson, helped revive the WLMFA after its playerbase had dwindled to under 75 players four years ago.

“If someone could even step up for each division and organize it, or if someone wanted to step up and be president I would help them for a year,” she said.

“But unless we have people step up I can’t do it alone.”

Tenning added one

division will run this season, as under-16 tryouts for the BC Summer Games will take place this spring.

Additionally, the WLMFA is hosting its annual general meeting next Tuesday, Jan. 21, in room No. 1305 at Thompson Rivers University and is inviting anyone interested in volunteering this spring to attend.

Tenning said anyone who isn’t able to attend the meeting but is interested in volunteering can call her at 250-392-6534.

PLAN NUMBER 5-4-657 CALIFORNIA STYLE BUNGALOW In the secluded courtyard that separates the guestroom from the rest of this delightful Californiastyle bungalow, the clever use of potted plants could create an illusion of Tuscany or Provence.

The guestroom, with its own ensuite, fireplace and window seat, as well as lots of cupboard space, will dazzle out-of-town visitors. The space could perform equally well as a studio or home office.

Entry to the main living area is via the courtyard and through a covered entry into a small foyer that flows seamlessly into the great room.

The coat closet is located just beyond the dining room, around the corner and close to a threepiece bathroom.

The great room’s French doors open onto a covered patio, making an especially pleasant spot for summertime entertaining and al fresco meals. In the cooler months, a corner fireplace will provide a cozy focal point for gatherings of family and friends.

The kitchen, with its U-shaped counter configuration, is located at one end of the great room, enabling the cook to feel connected to family life. A spacious pantry provides extra storage space, and windows over the double sink look onto the courtyard.

Great Room participants enjoy holiday gathering Dina Kennedy Special to Tribune/Advisor Women from the lakecity’s Great Room program enjoyed an extravagant Christmas party together over the holidays.

The house was decorated in Christmas attire, warm and welcoming for the 11 women and three elves participating.

The aroma of the prepared meal filled the home as each woman was warmly greeted at the door.

Christmas music was playing in the background and their spirits were high as you could hear the excitement from each woman as they came in and made themselves at home.

Each table was decorated gracefully with a different kind of centre piece.

As the evening progressed we played games and shared our favourite Christmas memories and traditions.

One woman shared that her family had fondues growing up on Christmas day.

Many of us shared the traditional opening of gifts on Christmas morning and had the traditional turkey dinner, but for a few others; they didn’t have good family memoirs of Christmas and chose not to share.

The tone shifted into how grateful we were for the things and people in our lives.

Several women spoke about how grateful they were to have this home to come to and the Great Room.

One woman shared that “three years ago we never had this home or the Great Room to go to, but we do now, and I’m thankful for it.”

As we continued to share, another woman told us to look at the Christmas tree and to see how the ornaments decorated each branch.

“We are all different, like the branches coming out from the tree trunk,” she said. “We are loveable at times and not so loveable. We are friends in the Great Room. We can laugh together and cry together.

“We accept each other.

We can be who we are in the Great Room and we are held together just like the trunk of that tree.”

Gifts were exchanged,

hugs were long and tears flowed, but the best gift of all was the spirit of Christmas flowing through the lives of the woman in the living

room.

Please join with the heavenly hosts in saying: “Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace, good will toward

men. “He has done great things!”

I would like to personally thank all those who have given generously of their time and finances to

The Great Room. Without your help, all of this could not be possible.

With a grateful heart, Dina Kennedy and the women of The Great

Room.

The Great Room program provides a sacred space where once a week, women in difficult circumstances can come to

find safety, rest, friendship and a welcoming place to share their stories and take steps toward positive change in their lives.
