Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In a week when Williams Lake saw two arson attacks on a city councillor’s home and a daylight home robbery, the premier’s blue ribbon committee on crime reduction 1is in town to

meet with local stakeholders.

Williams Lake RCMP Insp.

Warren Brown said so far there are no leads on the arson attacks, but the RCMP are still actively investigating the incidents.

The daylight break in and robbery at a 1100 block Second Avenue North home, while the

victim was at home, was a “very rare” event, Brown said, crediting the victim and a witness for swiftly providing a description of the suspects, which led to their arrest.

The blue ribbon committee was visiting Williams Lake and Alkali Lake during its 18th stop

on a provincial tour.

“People are wanting to see more interventions,” committee chair Daryl Plecas said Thursday.

“Once people are caught committing a crime, what can we do to be more effective at causing them never to do it again.”

SD27 faces $2 million shortfall Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer More schools could close in the Cariboo Chilcotin if Victoria doesn’t come through with the money needed to cover new contracts with teachers and school support staff.

Potential school closures and program cuts were outlined in a letter to the premier, minister of education, and minister of finance endorsed by School District 27 trustees at their regular meeting Tuesday evening.

Four schools in the district including Glendale and Kwaleen

elementary in Williams Lake were closed just last June to meet government budget constraints.

But even with those closures the district is anticipating a total budget shortfall of $2 million for the 20132014 school year.

“The board urges you and your government to give serious consideration to increasing overall funding for school districts in the 2014-15 school year to prevent further cuts to staffing, programs and learning resources and to ensure all students receive the opportunities they need to succeed,”

www.wltribune.com A3

Chair Tanya Guenther says in the letter.

“We cannot achieve prosperity in B.C. by cutting corners on our children’s education.”

The reasons outlined for the $2 million shortfall are three-fold — declining enrolment (operational funding is provided primarily on a per student basis); the elimination over the next three years of funding protection from Victoria; and the failure of government to cover the cost of negotiated contracts with teachers and support staff.

School District 27 and the International Union of Operat-

ing Engineers (support staff) recently completed a contract that will cost the district approximately $250,000 this year and approximately $450,000 next year (2014-2015),” Superintendent of Schools Mark Thiessen said in an interview.

“These increases have not been covered by the provincial government.

“District leadership is still discussing the budget decisions that will need to be made to cover these increases, and we are not yet prepared to release these decisions to the public.”

BLUE SKIES AHEAD

Beautiful sunny skies greet downhill skiers at the top of Mt. Timothy Ski Hill Sunday. Clear cool weather in the forecast this week promises more sun for this weekend at the hill, which has great snow conditions right now.

Bill 28 Supreme Court ruling welcomed by teachers union Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Class sizes will remain the same in School District 27 until the Ministry of Education says otherwise.

“We need to analyze exactly what the ruling means and will react according to what the Ministry of Education

tells us,” Superintendent Mark Thiessen said Tuesday of the Supreme Court ruling striking down Bill 28.

Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin ruled Monday that the provincial government’s 2002 Bill 28 that removed class size and special needs support from union working

conditions was unconstitutional.

Thiessen said class sizes in this district meet current ministry guidelines but could not say if they also meet pre-Bill 28 rules.

Griffin’s ruling ordered government to pay $2 million in damages to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

“The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision,” Griffin wrote. “One of the problems was that the government representatives were preoccupied with another strategy. Their strategy was to put such pres-

sure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union.”

Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers Association president Murray Helmer said: “I am cautiously optimistic we will see some improvements in our ability to offer a quality education to our students after this ruling,

pending the actions of the government.”

“Kindergarten classes should be reduced from 22 students to 20, while grades 1-3 will fall from 24 to 22,” Helmer says. “I don’t know whether this will happen next year or immediately, as the disruption to existing classes would be an is-

sue at this point.”

He says the biggest change will be the restoration of formulas for learning support teachers, counsellors, and teacher librarians.

According to reports Premier Christy Clark is considering appealing the court ruling.

LEAD DON’T FOLLOW

The idea of having a child share your bed is still fairly common among parents. In fact, over the past 20 years, the practice has increased 14%. It’s not good for the child or the parents. For newborn babies, it is recommended that the child sleep in the same room as the parent but not the same bed.

Back in 1975, mastectomy was the primary treatment for breast cancer and the 5-year survival rate was 75%.

Today, there are better screening techniques and many new treatment options that have increased the 5-year survival rate to 90% and it is steadily improving.

The ideal length of time for a woman to carry a baby before birth is 39 weeks unless there is a definite medical reason to deliver the child early. This allows more time for the brain, lungs and liver to develop fully. We always think that a baby is in the womb for 9 months when it’s almost 10 months.

Our staff would like to remind you that if you are going on a winter holiday, be sure to take enough medications to last the trip.

Family receives support after fire Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A Chilcotin family has received an outpouring of support after their home was destroyed by fire early Saturday.

Everyone escaped safely but the family has lost everything except for a box of family photographs.

Danielle Casavant, her husband, Jeff, their children Bowdy and Genelle, lived across the highway from the Lee’s Corner Restaurant on Highway 20 west of Williams Lake.

From the restaurant Wednesday, Casavant said she was in shock, blown away and overwhelmed by the community support the family has received.

“The RCMP pulled major strings to help us get our ID back, they put us up in a hotel in Williams Lake for four days,” she said. “We got a $1,000 voucher for Walmart so we’ve bought a few things for the kids.”

Photo submitted

All that was left after the house fire was some wood stored for renovations that were planned before the fire broke out.

Casavant also said so many people were “throwing cheques” their way that an account was opened for them at Scotia Bank in Williams Lake.

Their home was not insured. When the couple bought it they were told it could not be insured because it did not have a cement foundation and had too much acreage, Casavant explained.

The fire started early Saturday around 3:50 a.m. while everyone was sleeping.

“I had got up about 50 minutes before that because my daughter wanted a drink of water,” Casavant said.

A few moments after she had fallen back to sleep, Casavant woke up because she heard a crackling sound and thought it was “bizarre.”

“We did heat our house with a wood stove, and I thought it didn’t sound right. It was a combustion type of noise.”

When she checked the fireplace nothing was amiss, but when she

looked up she could see “red hot” in between the air spaces in the ceiling and more “red hot” inside a new electrical outlet.

“I stood there and screamed fire,” she said.

“Then I woke everybody up, grabbed the kids and put them in our vehicle.”

Jeff and a family friend who had stayed the night immediately tried to fight the fire with extinguishers and water, but it was impossible.

Casavant said they

grabbed a few things and headed outside where they began to pull things away from outside of the house.

“Our folks own Lee’s Corner Restaurant so we came over here and basically watched the house burn down,” Casavant said. “It was gone in about 15 minutes.”

Grateful they all escaped safe and alive, Casavant said it’s been like a roller coaster.

“I’m shocked, it’s hard,” she said, fighting back tears. “We will have to pick up the pieces and make a new home.”

The family had lived in the house for five years, owned it for two and recently renovated the kitchen.

“We were trying to make an old house comfortable, new and nice, but it just didn’t work out.”

She said she believes it was an electrical fire in the ceiling. For now they are staying with Jeff’s parents at Lee’s Corner.

Williams Lake

New hotel proposed for Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A four-storey 50unit hotel proposed for Broadway Avenue South will need to find more parking spaces if it wants further consideration by the city.

Williams Lake Ventures Incorporation requested a development variance for its Aviator Hotel that would include a parking ratio of .86 spaces, instead 1.25 parking spaces per sleeping unit — the normal requirement.

City council denied the request Tuesday and decided to send the application back for parking adjustments.

“The applicant will have to go back to figure out what they are going to do about parking, whether that means rejigging what it looks like on site or negotiating with adjacent property owners, there are a number of options they can look at,” said Geoff Goodall, general manger of planning and operations.

During public comment on the application, nearby hotel owners and employees

raised concerns about the development, especially parking.

Best Western employee Steve Forseth said the application for the hotel first came to the city in 2008, before the Best Western development, and parking would not have been a challenge at that time.

“Since then the subdivision above it has also been more fully developed,” Forseth said.

“Having worked at the Best Western for the last year, I am concerned that allowing the variance will place tremendous strain on Super 8, Laughing Loon and the Best Western.”

Best Western manager Jassi Sangha said his hotel has the 1.25 parking space ratio for its 64 rooms.

“On a busy day I’ll have crews taking four

or five stalls just to park their work trucks so we’re log-jammed for room when we’re full,” he said.

“If they are building a hotel their projection should be the same.”

Council did, however, approve the applicant’s development variance to increase the maximum height of the four-storey hotel from 10 metres to 11.38 metres.

“It’s an exciting initiative we started about eight weeks ago, and we’re very close.”

Sixteen per cent of the website will be public engagement whereby residents co-

can come on to the site and select information.

Whether it’s press releases, taxation issues, questionnaires, or surveys, it will be “quite innovative,” Garceau said.

House cleaning in the senate Liberal leader Justin Trudeau surprised everyone this week — including most of his own party — by removing all the Liberal senators from his caucus and making them all Independent.

Trudeau declared that from now on the only way to be a part of the Liberal caucus is to be put there by the people of Canada.

Of course we all know the struggles facing the archaic Canadian Senate in the past year — can we ever forget about the expense scandal?

If Trudeau thought he’d actually make changes for the better when he announced this decision, he should be applauded for his efforts to clean up the senate.

However, it’s hard to view the move as anything more than a publicity stunt and political suicide for Trudeau within his own party.

Affected Liberal senators were asked their opinion on the decision. They all supported their former leader and said being labelled as Independents certainly wouldn’t

stop them from thinking or acting like Liberals.

Our point exactly –– what difference does it make if Trudeau declares his senators Independent now? They will always be affiliated with the party that appointed them.

Trudeau also said if he were Prime Minister he would task a non-elected, “independent” body to appointed “independent” still non-elected senators … what?

Not that current Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been any better at addressing senate reform.

He’s been too busy lately cozying up to Israel and, this week, defending the rude behaviour of Julian Fantino, the minister of veteran’s affairs responsible for closing nine Veterans Affairs offices across Canada, including one in Prince George.

It will be interesting to see what Harper’s next move will be to counter Trudeau’s ambitious leap forward to take the country’s top job.

Pete Seeger’s passing brings back fond memories The news of legendary American folk singer and activist Pete Seger’s death this week sparked some personal memories.

Memory can be tricky because it is our version of the truth, but I believe the first Pete Seeger song I heard was If I had a Hammer.

If not, Little Boxes would have been it.

In those pre-google days of the 1960s, I would sit intently with a pen and paper trying to jot down the lyrics to songs.

I thought I was pretty clever with a system where I’d write half a line and go to the beginning of the next.

Then I’d play the song again and again until I completed each

the

weekend

line.

Lyrics always intrigued me and Little Boxes was no exception.

There were no suburbs in Nelson then and the university people my mom and dad knew did not live in boxes all the same.

“Where was this place he was talking about?” I wondered.

At one point I recall thinking Pete’s voice reminded me of a

banjo. It had that full folky quality.

In Grade 5 several of us girls got guitars for Christmas and the plunking began.

We practiced at lunch hours and eventually got a reputation for our willingness to perform, not necessarily our talent.

When asked to perform at a Canada Post retirement banquet in early November we decided it would be appropriate to sing Where Have All the Flowers Gone.

Remembrance Day was just around the corner, one of us announced before we started singing.

We loved that song — it had

so many verses. And if you really wanted to, you could start it all over again. I think we liked to repeat the first verse, to emphasize the point.

My funniest Pete Seeger memory is from 1984 when my sister Clare and I were volunteering at the Winnipeg Folk Festival at Birds Hill Provincial Park in a food booth.

Pete was the main stage performer for the Sunday afternoon and everyone was excited.

As Pete’s concert began, our shift ended.

Clare and I bolted across the field toward the venue, edging as close as we could in the crowd of 10,000 people.

Suddenly Clare turned to me looking confused.

“Who is this old guy?” she frowned.

“Pete Seeger,” I replied.

“Working on the night moves?” she asked.

I laughed.

“That’s Bob Seger,” I whispered.

“This is Pete Seeger — little boxes on the hillside,” I sang.

I admit I hadn’t thought very often about Pete until last year when I stumbled on a clever video of Walk off the Earth’s rendition of Little Boxes on Youtube.

It was entertaing both visually and musically.

I hope it made Pete smile.

Politicians in tug of war for transportation taxes Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the province-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15.

Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancouver, you’re not immune from this long-running saga.

Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen.

Clark has promised a bridge replacement for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann bridge.

The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the B.C. Liberal government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities.

Clark announced the Massey tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

In the same speech, she also pledged to complete the fourlaning of the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border.

That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of highway in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be

with Tom Fletcher

$650 million over 10 years.

Time will tell if that promise is kept.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone inherited the mess left behind by former minister Kevin Falcon, who took transit authority away from Metro Vancouver politicians.

He appointed a board of experts and set up a toothless “mayors’ council” to rubberstamp their decisions, after forcing through the Canada Line ahead of a long-promised transit extension to the east.

Local politicians wrangled for years over that eastern extension.

They finally settled on surface light rail, only to be overruled by the province, which wanted the vastly more expensive SkyTrain.

The latest rebuke to the mayors’ council was when they decided not to proceed with a costly new electronic fare card system.

Falcon reversed that one after taking a junket to London and falling in love with their “Oys-

ter card” subway system. All the glitches from TransLink’s new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath.

Speaking of reversals, Stone is now demanding the mayors come up with their list of priorities for new projects.

They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again.

Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want

new road and bridge works.

Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours.

Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting.

Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say.

Clark has made it clear there

is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform.

She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes.

If it does that, it may be worth it.

Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse.

Presentation reflects partnership from blue ribbon panel This week, MLA Dr. Darryl Plecas brought his blue ribbon crime reduction panel to Williams Lake to discuss crime challenges and opportunities.

I was proud to present with community partners the RCMP, the School District, First Nations, TRU, and other stakeholders on the work we’ve done and continue to do to reduce crime and increase community wellness.

Our collaborative presentation reflected the partnerships we’ve developed to enhance our community.

We shared our great successes

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook in reducing crime since 2008, when we were No. 1 in Canada for violent crime, but we emphasized that there’s still work to be done.

Dr. Plecas will present a report outlining opportunities and next steps for crime reduction to Minister of Justice Su-

zanne Anton by July.

Last week I attended the Premier’s BC Natural Resources Forum, a good opportunity to hear from government and resource industry leaders about the state of the province and its future.

There were presentations and discussions on forestry, mining, skills, training, transportation infrastructure, and a keynote address from the premier and President of Eagle Spirit Energy Holding Calvin Helin.

It was a great opportunity to listen, learn, and network.

On Feb. 4, Council will receive

a report on Option One for the city street connections to Highway 97 as part of the province’s four-laning project. Council has referred an option for roundabouts and an overpass to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

It’s important to note this project has been in development since 1998, and extensive public consultation has been held.

We need to narrow down the options and move forward, and ensure it is well-thought out.

It is Family Literacy Week, and thank you to the volunteers and sponsors for raising aware-

ness. Reading is a necessary building block for success.

Enjoying and learning from books is a gift to treasure.

My colleague Councillor Rathor lost his daughter Roop this week.

Roop was a daughter, wife, and mother of three children who will be dearly missed.

Life is so short, and we have to take advantage of each and every day with our loved ones.

My prayers go out to the family and friends as they walk through this difficult time.

Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

A course can run with only one person registered, there will be intakes of new students every Monday, and with the four-hour school day the academy can accommodate two sessions a day.

The Smiths have already received encouragement from the community with people telling them to send their graduates over.

you’re going to do an exam and move on,” Christa said.

“One course at a time,” Craig added.

When Christa took the academy courses she enjoyed setting her own learning goals and competing with herself to complete the material.

“I wasn’t going along with an instructor telling me to keep up or waiting on the rest of the class to get it before moving on,” she said.

“The other nice thing is you can be in a classroom with 20 other people, maybe doing something completely different, so you still have that social interaction but there isn’t

In order to facilitate a course, a person must complete that particular course and have passed with more than 90 per cent.

Christa has taken some of the courses and Craig is working on completing others so they can offer a range of the courses in Williams Lake.

Courses, like the medical office assistant program, will link students one-on-one with a Skype instructor from out of town.

Students will be expected to attend the academy in person at the Second Avenue North location four hours a day.

While she hesitated to describe the courses as work-at-your-own pace, Christa said if a student is understanding the concepts and going through the modules, they can complete a course in a week and a half to two weeks.

“It’s that constant gratification that there are no big midterm exams or end of semester exams. Every week

Sense & Sensibility AUDITIONS

A new kid on the education block will open its doors to students in Williams Lake on Feb. 3.

Christa and Craig Smith, the proprietors of the Academy of Learning Career and Business College, said the new college will offer business, information technology, health care and accounting programs.

“We have the population, we have the need and there’s nothing else filling that gap right now,” Christa said.

Learning is skills competency-based, meaning when students complete the courses, they have the skills to walk in and begin working immediately.

“It’s not a laddering into university, it’s not a go on and get your master’s or your doctorate,” Christa said.

“Courses are very specific.”

Students can learn accounting and the Canadian Payroll Certificate, IT and Microsoft A plus certification, Home Inspection or office reception, as examples.

Rather than instructors, the academy has facilitators and because the college is accredited, the curriculum is developed and has to be approved through the Private Career Training Institutions Agency.

Students learn through short video clips, textbooks, online pieces and work with a computer.

“If they need help, the facilitator will help them through, and for some of the more technical courses they will have instructors they can Skype with,” Christa explained.

Cariboo Cookies go for people’s choice award The lakecity’s Cariboo Cookies junior achievers are now part of an online competition for the Junior Achievement People’s Choice Award.

The competition started Tuesday, Jan. 21 and runs through until noon on Feb. 28.

The Lake City Secondary Cariboo Cookies team was among 20 teams from around the province who participated in the Junior Achievers B.C. Innovation Jam in Vancouver on Monday, Jan. 20.

The Cariboo Cookies video pitch is posted on the JuniorAchievementBC YouTube channel along with pitches from the other participating teams.

Each team’s challenge is to drive traffic to YouTube to view and “like” their pitch.

The lakecity team asks the public to view their video and spread the work among family, friends, and workplace contacts to view their video then vote for them.

“We want Cariboo Cookies at Lake City Secondary (WL Campus) to win the People’s Choice Award,” says group’s Marketing 12 class teacher Linda Black.

Winter calving a stressful time for ranchers Wow, where did January disappear to?

Weather-wise it was darn decent, almost balmy when compared to more easterly sections of our great nation.

Weather there, in many regions was vile in the extreme with blizzard-like snow storms, frigid temperatures and nasty biting winds that battered the land, causing many massive power failures, some that lasted days.

My youngest son calls Regina, Sask., home-base for now, as he works (electrician) in various locales on a days-in/days-

All of his work is outdoors (often high-in-the-sky) so the mother-in-me notes the weather/temperature each morning on the news for, where-ever-heis.

be cause for shame.

Imagine also the daily ordeal faced by ranchers in Saskatchewan as they endeavour to feed their livestock outdoors.

It certainly alters what Cariboo cattlemen may view as a challenge, alters focus and changes perspective, doesn’t it?

You bet, we’re wimps in comparison!

Calving has begun on some Cariboo ranches, generally on smaller outfits where one man (family) does everything.

Since winter calving is an aberration from Mother Nature’s natural cycle, it brings with it

monumental amounts of labour since most of the birthing-miracle moves indoors.

With that move comes a bunch of extra chores; hauling/spreading of clean bedding, supplying feed, packing buckets of fresh drinking water (which the cow inevitably kicks over almost instantaneously), shovelling endless steaming piles of cow-poop and removing it (wheel-barrow) from the calving barn.

Additionally there are the all-important personal-checks, usually hourly (24/7) to observe the expectant-females.

The sum total of which gener-

ally adds up to a tired, cranky producer!

So, if you encounter that guy (gal) in the course of your day and they appear rude, or seem a little abrupt — please cut them a little slack.

For now you know that winter-calving in the Cariboo has that effect because, “While you were working, he was working, yet as you slumbered peacefully, he was still-on-the job, up on-the-hour, checking on his expecting-mamas.”

MONEY MATTERS Do you own an incorporated business?

You need to decide how to pay yourself If you have made the choice to incorporate your business, you may be trying to decide how to pay yourself. Should you go with a salary or dividends? There is no set answer and, based on your profits, your choice may even vary from year to year.

The Canadian tax system is based on the concept of integration.

This means that individuals should be in the same tax position whether they earn income personally as a sole proprietor or through a corporation, and are paid dividends from the retained

earnings of the company.

So the total tax paid by the corporation and the individual will equal the amount of tax paid on a personal tax return.

Taxes can be deferred if a corporation retains some of its after-tax earnings and does not pay them out to the business owner (or shareholder) in the year.

Deferral does not mean avoiding taxes; it means taxes are paid later. But if the corporation suffers a poor financial year, the business owner can be remunerated with dividends that have been accumulating in its retained earnings.

Smaller salaries can then be paid in the poor-performance year to help soften the blow caused by the lack of revenue.

Other basic planning fundamentals to consider include: • deductible salaries: salaries are generally deductible from corporate taxable income, while dividends are not • personal cash flow requirements: how much money does the small business owner need to cover the personal expenses of the household?

• personal tax credits

and deductions: if the small business owner has little to no personal taxable income, you may want to consider paying a salary to take advantage of tax credits • CPP and RRSPs: dividends are not earned income and so do not generate RRSP contribution room.

And not paying CPP premiums will impact the benefit amount you receive once you retire. You may want to consider a salary to contribute to CPP and build RRSP room • the $43,561 income tax threshold: you may want to consider

staying below the lowest federal tax limit, so the additional personal taxes on the salary would be fairly close to the tax benefit received by the corporation for the deduction on the salary payment • small-business deduction limit: it is possible to pay salaries or bonuses to eliminate the corporate taxable income which exceeds the small-business deduction limit, so you need to consider the reduction in corporate tax rates and the introduction of eligible dividends • spousal involvement:

is the small business owner’s spouse active in the business? Is the spouse a shareholder?

If you are thinking about your options, make sure you understand all of the tax implications before deciding. Every business is unique and every owner can choose a different mix of salary and dividends.

your business.

Remember that you cannot use home expenses to create or increase a business loss. However, you can carry forward the excess and deduct it against your daycare income in future years.

One hundred per cent of expenses such as toys, supplies, additional liability insurance, receipt books, wages and other business expenses can be claimed as business expenses. Large items such as furniture specifically bought for the business or outside playground equipment can be depreciated over a certain number of years.

If you provide meals

and snacks for the children, make sure you ring their food purchases through separately at the supermarket and keep the receipts. If you mix the children’s food purchases with your household purchases, your claim will most likely be challenged if you are ever audited.

Unless you are incorporated, you will

of hours per day the children are in your home and divide by 24 (hours), multiply that by the number of days per year there are children in your house, divided by 365 (days), and then multiply that by the percentage of space used in your home for business.

For example: you have children in your home from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days a week, they have access to 75 per cent of your home, and you take July off for holidays. In that case, the calculation would be: 10/24 (hours) x 240/365 (days) x 75/100 (square footage) = 20.54 per cent of your total expenses that relate to

report your business income and expenses on a T2125 Form as part of your personal tax return. If you expect to earn more than $30,000, you will need to register your business and collect GST. You should provide receipts to all of your clients so they can claim childcare expenses on their tax returns.

Don’t let any of this additional paperwork deter you, but do be aware that a little extra work at tax time will be needed.

MIKE MIKE AUSTIN AUSTIN Financial FinancialAdvisor Advisor

Operating a Day Care The idea of opening a daycare in your home is attractive for many reasons. These can range from a new mom deciding she wants to stay at home or a recent childcare program graduate wanting to start a business. But while it may be easy to set up your business, there are complications when it comes to tax time.

People who run a daycare in their home must track their expenses a little differently. Since your house is both your place of business and your personal home, the expenses you claim must be pro-rated. These expenses are shared between your home and place of business.

This includes items like utilities, rent, mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance and maintenance.

If you use one or more rooms exclusively for child care, you can base your claim on the square footage of the rooms relative to total square footage of your house.

However, if the children have the run of your house, you also have to factor in the amount of time they are there. To determine your business share: take the number

Old photograph raises questions Caroline Palmantier is hoping someone might know the origin of an historical photo she owns. It depicts a First Nations man, dressed in full regalia, sitting on a white horse.

“These are braided reigns, there is bead work and he is riding a saddle,” Palmantier

said, adding another person who looked at it wondered if he was a chief.

“A lot of his beadwork matches and he has beaded pants on.”

When Palmantier bought her house in Williams Lake in 1985, the photograph was in a frame, hanging in the bedroom. She said the home was previously owned by Harold and Aggie Armes.

Red Tomato Pies in Williams Lake has won the 2013 Saputo Pizza Hall of Fame title.

Jason and Amber Akeson learned last week that they had won the people’s choice vote, not only for B.C., but for the whole country.

“It’s cool,” Jason says. “We are just kind of taking it in right now. We are speechless.”

He says they were told there was a close race between first and second place.

They were also notified that their prize is a trophy and some Saputo mozzarella cheese.

The online voting for Pizza Hall of Fame title took place across Canada last fall.

Jason says thank you to everyone who voted for them. The trophy will be prominently on display when it arrives.

CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE CONCEPT

MOTI’s Options 1. Removes the lights from Carson/Hwy. 97 2. Might create a hazard at Carson/Hwy. 97 3. Removes the left turn to 97N from Carson 4. Possibly creates a dangerous intersection at Carson/9th Avenue.

5. Option 2 evolved from Option 1 (possible that Option 2 could re-emerge from Option 1).

6. Reduce access – increase safety.

Hwy. 97 Overpass Toop Underpass Roundabouts 1. Lights stay at Carson 2. Maintains safety at Carson 3. Maintains left turn to 97N from Carson 4. Maintains property values 5. Minimal business disruption 6. Minimal property acquisition 7. Improves safety at Carson/9th Avenue 8. “Preserved Value” - in overall community 9. Focuses solutions on problem areas 10. Novel and new

The graphic is a combination of the recent aerial photography of Williams Lake with the aerial photography of West Kelowna BC where there is a highway crossing combining two roundabouts. This roundabout image has been transferred digitally to scale. As you can see, this particular layout fits quite readily at the Hwy 97/Toop Rd. intersection.

HIGHWAY 97 N – TOOP ROAD Advantages of Overpass Concept

1. Minimal property purchase required and minimal to no business disruption (relocation) 2. “Preserved Value” $ property value throughout community.

3. “Preserved Value” for community throughout (local neighbourhoods etc.).

4. “Preserved Value” preserves Gibraltar Mine parking lot.

5. Minimal changes to McKinnon Rd. (improved radius at Carson Dr. & 9th Ave.; improved radius at McKinnon & 10th Ave.).

6. Minimal changes to 11th Ave. 7. Maximum mobility (no intersection at Toop, free flow, for trucks going north at Carson/ Hwy 97 8. Maximum safety (no stopping) 9. Traffic-calming effect of roundabout.

10. Efficient access and egress at Hwy. 97 /Toop Rd. & Carson Dr. 11. Carson /Hwy 97 intersection layout can remain undisturbed.

12. No pedestrian tunnel required at either Toop or Carson.

13. Improved traffic signalization at Hwy 97/Carson (left-turn advance).

14. Improved signalization for trucks going north: “electronic eye”/computer-controlled.

15. Bulletin signage for trucks going north at Carson/ Hwy 97 (timing at intersection).

16. Bulletin signage, speed readers and display north of overpass (slow southbound traffic).

17. Eliminates discussion of distance between Toop and Carson intersections.

18. Includes consideration of aesthetic values.

19. Addresses excellent safety and mobility considerations for Hwy 97.

20. Addresses excellent safety and mobility considerations for access/egress to City.

21. Addresses excellent safety and mobility for all traffic movements (vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians per Hwy 97).

22. Overhead lane signage at Carson to Broadway/Hwy 97 (cross traffic).

23. Overhead lane signage at Carson Dr./Hwy 97 (both northbound and southbound).

24. Travel time savings due to reduced congestion delay with the proposed 4-lane highway.

25. Continue to minimize impact to environment.

Atom Development Tournament

Grade 8 to 10 Lake City secondary rugby players suited up for a snow game of rugby Wednesday during the school’s lunch hour.

High school athletes brave snow game While Lake City Secondary School’s senior students were busy writing final exams this past week, the school’s junior students took part in a little fun Wednesday.

The Lake City Secondary School Snow Game — organized by high school teacher and rugby coach Morley Wilson — had grade 8 to 10 boys and girls lace up their boots for a good, old-fashioned, rugby snow game.

Wilson said they had hosted the snow game in past years at Williams Lake secondary prior to the school merge, but added this was the first time the event had been held at Columneetza.

The atom development Williams Lake Timberwolves will join teams from 100 Mile House, Kamloops, Kitimat, Prince George in pool ‘A,’ while Quesnel, Fort St. John, Terrace, Salmon Arm and Vanderhoof round out pool ‘B.’ Williams Lake plays its opener Friday, Jan. 31 at 5:45 p.m. against Prince George. Saturday, Williams Lake meets Kamloops at 8:15 a.m., followed by an afternoon matchup with Kitimat beginning at 2:15 p.m.

Following the round robin tournament finals begin Sunday morning, with the final scheduled for 11:15 a.m.

The Central Interior Hockey League playoffs continue this weekend in Williams Lake as the Williams Lake Stampeders host the Lac La Hache Tomahawks for game two and, if necessary, game three of their first-round, best-of-three playoff series.

Williams Lake is coming off a 5-4 win last weekend in Lac La Hache and can close out the series with a win Saturday. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday, if required.

School curlers pick up the game As Canada and the rest of the world prepare for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Lake City secondary students are sharpening their curling skills as future, potential Olympic hopefuls.

Mike Wilson’s Grade 7 physical education class recently took part in four curling sessions at the Williams Lake Curling

Club.

Volunteer coaches from the WLCC said coming in to the school curling lessons with little to limited experience, it was remarkable to see how much they learned about how to play the game in just a short amount of time.

Grade 7 Ryanne Jones, when asked how she liked curling, simply said: “It was awesome.”

Judo club athletes medal at Richmond Oval Two members of the Williams Lake Judo Club threw their ways to silver medals at a judo tournament at the Richmond Oval Saturday.

Jeff DiMarco and his daughter, Georgia Di-

Marco, competed at the event.

“Georgia had just three [competitors] in her division (under-14, 40 kilograms ) and she won the first and lost the second,” Jeff said.

“I had eight in my division (senior, under 66 kilograms). I lost the first then won four.”

The WLJC is now preparing for an upcoming Prince George Judo Tournament in

April.

“Hopefully we will get more competitors to travel to that one,” DiMarco said.

In collaboration with Success by 68 and Children First, the Early Childhood Development Network (ECDN) is hoping to raise awareness of the importance of developmental screening of preschoolers. A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool,18 they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire. You can get a simple questionnaire from your early learning and care provider including: StrongStart, Public Health, Child Development Centre (CDC), Pregnancy Outreach Program, Child Care Resouce & Referral (CCRR), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Preschools, Denisiqi & Cariboo Friendship Society. 22

Already one month into 2014! Oh, I am looking so forward to spring!

I have seen lots of birds around lately, coming down to take a peek to see if I have any food out for them on my front deck. Or do you think it’s maybe a sign of winter coming to an end?

(Yippee I hope so!).

I have been gone a whole year now from the Anvil Pub and the time has gone by so fast!

Crystal Barter is doing an amazing job with the pub! They have done some great new front end renovations, putting in the new cement and wheelchair accessible ramp later.

The pub is always such a fun place to go, with the beautiful fire place, the 3 televisions to watch, and they even have internet!

They have 2 Texas Holdems, usually every month, and have Crib Night on Wednesday in the fall, winter, and spring. Crystal hosts special events for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, follies, and other events that happen out here in Horsefly. She will create a special menu for your event or set you up with an amazing buffet!

Over the summer months they host patio BBQs and welcome you to play in a game of horseshoes. They have free pool and darts on Thursdays if you wish to play!

Crystal’s father, Roy Barter and Susan Cawley, have Gravel Creek Hayrides, Crystal has had them come out and do some Hayrides at the Pub when there have been special events hap-

Call Sue for details.

The The Quadra Island is custom designed as a retirement home in a west coast setting. This handcrafted timber frame has many features we’d like to draw your attention to when looking at this plan. ~ For retirement living all the key living requirements are on the main floor. The walls are custom built solid wood (Douglas fir) panels. 2x6 framed walls or S|Ps could be substituted for the solid wood panels. The timber roof uses a principle rafter system with perlins rather than common rafters which improves the building envelope while allowing a thick roof build-up that looks thinner than it is. The front deck has a glass roof allowing full enjoyment of the westcoast weather.

The timberwork on all exposed decks is capped with a waterproof membrane (armour guard or steel flashing). Large braces are used to cantilever portions of the deck to minimize foundation work required. The basement is constructed from insulated concrete forms which for a remote location help limit the concrete required and no forms have to be rented. Energy efficiency also exceeds traditional basements. The masonry fireplace is double sided allowing enjoyment of the fire in the bedroom and the living room. The open loft could be an office or bedroom and has full views through the glass and timber gables. The workshop in the basement has its own access to the covered storage area under the deck so messy items don’t need to be carried through the rec room. ~ A cold room in the basement provides for storage of produce.

Flora McDonald Sandness January 11, 1917- January 27, 2014

It is with great sadness that the family of Flora (Flo) McDonald Sandness, age 97, announces her peaceful passing on January 27, 2014 in Williams Lake, B.C. Flora moved to Deni House two years ago. A special thank you to all the Deni House staff for being so loving and caring, making her time here very happy.

Flora is survived by her daughter Sue (Dennis) Beebe. She will be laid to rest at Ocean View Cemetery in Burnaby. Rest in peace, Mom. We will always love and miss you.

Laprairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Gertrud “Gigi’ Sturm-Krumsiek of Horsefly passed away while visiting her daughter in Germany. Her year-long battle with cancer ended on December 8, 2013 at the age of 62.

Gigi was laid to rest in a green burial forest in Bredenbeck, Germany, just 700m from the home she had once lived in. This is part of the forest she and her husband Rainer regularly used for long walks and visited with the children in fall to gather acorns.

Gigi was born in Osnabrßck on April 18, 1951, the oldest of five children. She graduated from high school and then went on to college and worked as a doctor’s assistant. On October 1, 1986 Gigi married Rainer in Bredenbeck, Germany. Together they ran a successful landscaping business until they emigrated to Canada in 1993, together with their children Florian, Inga and Arne.

They first settled in Kelowna where they continued with their landscaping business. Two years later, they found their dream property in Horsefly, 2200 acres of beautiful pasture and forest. Here, with much hard work, they built the certified organic Big Bear Ranch, raising cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens. Certified since 2004, the Ranch continues to serve regular customers both locally and on the Lower Mainland.

Gigi put many hours into community service here in Horsefly, as President of the Fall Fair committee since 2005, and as a committee member for some years before that.

Although ranch life consumed most of her days, she always found time to help her friends and neighbours with their projects. Gigi’s loves were her children, her garden and her Icelandic horses. She won many ribbons at the Fall Fair each year, especially in the vegetable, flower-arrangement and baking categories. Her unique style of breadmaking lives on in Horsefly today.

Big Bear Ranch will never be the same without her contagious laughter and her warm hospitality. Her house was always open to friends and visitors from all over the world.

Gigi is survived by her loving husband Rainer, her son Florian with his wife Stefanie, her daughter Inga with her partner Arne, her son Arne and his partner Maureen. She is very much missed by her many friends here in the town she called home, Horsefly.

Ten tasks that are worth the effort in 2014

The Better Business Bureau serving Mainland British Columbia is offering 10 strategies worth the effort in 2014.

• Buying online.

Check the seller history on sites like eBay. com, and know that you do not have any rights if the product is faulty or not exactly what you thought. Never wire money to a stranger, and be cautious of prices that are too good to be true.

• Buying retail. Do comparison price shopping online and read the fine print (including return policy, terms and conditions, and privacy policy).

• Buying big ticket items. If you are buying a car or new furniture, you may be getting a loan or into financing to pay for your item. Sign up for the shortest term length you can afford to keep your total interest lower. Remember, the longer term you have for a loan or financing, the more you’ll pay in interest.

• Financial goal setting. Spend less than you earn. It may sound easy, but getting buried in debt is easy if you do not make a monthly budget and stick to it.

Consider those little purchases that add up over a year and be willing to lose those little costly pleasures.

• Take control of your data. Where you go online, what you search for is often being collected by the service you use.

Get to know your privacy settings for things like Facebook and your search tool. Also, consider reducing your public Wi-Fi usage and make sure your logins are secure and encrypted (look for “https” in the address bar).

• Create difficult passwords and unique accounts. Keep different login identities and passwords for all your networks. Mix upper and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create a more secure password and do not use your email as your account login.

• Use gift cards and prepaid credit cards within one month of receiving them. While there is consumer protection legislation in place regarding expire dates on gift cards, it is

better to use the cards early so you do not forget about them. In some cases, there can be fees and even expiry dates on certain types.

• Defuse sales pressure tactics. Keep control over the situation by using statements like, “I’d like some time to think about this. Tell me

how I can get in touch with you.” Or, say: “If I’m interested, I’ll call you back.”

• Get smart phone safe. Update all your

device and security settings and make sure your phone is password protected.

• Check your credit report annually. Con-

tact one of Canada’s credit bureaus to receive a copy of your credit report by mail, free of charge.

For more information,

contact: TransUnion Canada: 1-866-5250262 www.transunion. ca Equifax Canada: 1-800-465-7166 www. equifax.ca.
