A 37-year-old man from Williams Lake died of H1N1 in St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver on Jan. 21.

His widow Harjit Shergill, 36, said she doesn’t want to create panic, however, she does want people to be able to make an in-

formed decision about whether or not to get the flu shot.

Her husband, Barinder Mahil, did get pneumonia quite often, she said, and while the family got flu shots now and then, they did not get one this year.

“We didn’t know that if a person has pneumonia or underlying conditions they should get the flu shot,” Shergill said

Thursday.

“Maybe it would have helped.

We’ll never know.”

Shergill, her daughter Priya, 9, and son Mokam, 12, are still in shock because Mahil’s death came so quickly.

On Tuesday, Jan. 14, she and the children got the flu and Mahil was taking care of all of them.

Come, see what you’ve been missing.

It wasn’t until two days later, that Mahil started getting sick himself.

“Friday he woke up and he looked sicker than normal,” Shergill recalled.

“His bottom lip was yellow and crusted.”

Anaham suicide focus of ministry report Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The suicide of a 14-year-old First Nations girl from the Anaham Reserve is at the heart of a report released by the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

On Thursday Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux released Lost in the Shad-

ows: How a Lack of Help Meant a Loss of Hope for One First Nations Girl.

Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse said while he needs to protect the privacy of the girl and her family, he wants people to know that she came from his community.

“This report speaks volumes of the inadequate services that are provided to First Nations people,” Alphonse

We lost a 14-year-old girl. A beautiful young lady who needed so much more support” - Chief Joe Alphonse said.

“In this case specifically to First Nations youth. When they are needing help it’s just not there.”

The report talks about a school system that failed her, about Health Canada’s responsibilities and Aboriginal Affairs and

Northern Development Canada, and the Ministry of Children and Families, Alphonse said.

“Both levels of gov-

ernment were involved and didn’t provide adequate resources,” he said.

“Our programs are often set up for failure and this is a prime example.

“We lost a 14-yearold girl. A beautiful young lady who needed so much more support.”

Alphonse said the community allowed the ministry to come in

to investigate the girl’s death to bring attention to the issue to prevent similar cases in the future.

“This is the first time they’ve dealt specifically with one individual who took her life,” he said. “We’re thankful that they’ve done it because it seems like I can talk about these issues as a First Nations leader and it falls on deaf ears.”

Wife shocked by husband’s death from H1N1 Continued From Page A1 She told him he should go to the hospital that morning. So he made the school lunches, dropped the kids off at school, did some errands and then drove himself to the hospital.

Moments after he checked in at the hospital, he collapsed.

By 11:30 a.m. the hospital called Shergill at work to tell her

he was in the emergency ward. He wasn’t breathing and they were flying him to Vancouver.

“When I got there he was on life support and the critical care team was en route from Vancouver.”

Four hours later, they had stabilized Mahil and the air ambulance left for Lion’s Gate Hospital in Vancouver.

At Lion’s Gate they

put him in a special glass room in the intensive care ward for people with H1N1.

Lab tests would take five days, but they were treating him as if he had it, she said.

After a couple of days, his lungs stopped producing oxygen so he was transferred to St. Paul’s Hospital where they have a Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machine that

oxidizes blood. He also required a blood transfusion.

Some time during the night Monday he went down hill and had to be re-stabilized.

“Tuesday I felt they were doing their routine checks, but already he wasn’t there,” she said.

Mahil passed away Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day the lab confirmed he had H1N1.

Later the doctors told Shergill they thought she and the children had H1N1, too, but their bodies were stronger and able to fight it.

“We can’t get over how quick it was,” she said. “We went from Friday thinking he had the flu to Tuesday and he had already passed away.”

An insulin pill is the goal of two research companies to free diabetics from having to inject insulin. Both inhaled insulin and an insulin patch were not successful. Digestive enzymes and acids degrade any insulin taken orally. When this problem is solved, it will be a great boon to diabetes worldwide.

The hope is that it will be available to the public within 10 years.

about H1N1 might not think it could happen close to home.

“It did come here to a normal family in Williams Lake and one of us got sick really fast,” she said.

Mahil did receive immediate and excellent medical care in Williams Lake and Vancouver, Shergill added.

The family has lived in Williams Lake for two and half years.

Previously they were

in Alexis Creek and Quesnel.

Shergill is originally from Richmond.

Mahil’s funeral was in Vancouver on Jan. 26.

Interior Health declined to comment on the case, however, confirmed Tuesday in another interview that there have been three deaths of people who had lab confirmed H1N1 within Interior Health this year.

Council to decide Tuesday on highway improvements Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Northern Vac Services is looking for class 1 drivers and owner operators to join our workforce.

We will be having interviews in Williams Lake on February 11th.

Moon said its octopus legs take up half the area and with an acceleration lane that ends up down past the Fraser Inn. “Are they landing airplanes or what are they doing?” he asked.

Committee member Shel Myers said the Kelowna roundabout used as an example for the concept design is identical to the Toop Road area.

When consulted, a senior traffic engineer at an engineering firm told the committee roundabouts are developed to suit the traffic volumes and sizing of trucks to balance the two.

“If indeed the ministry was really interested in the concept then there’s a balancing of alternatives,” Moon said.

Critical of the process to date, Moon said there hasn’t been a “real dialogue to address the community’s needs.”

The committee said they became involved when it was suggested the lights be removed at Carson.

“Our concept has become the focus, but what we really don’t want is to see the lights removed at Carson,” Myers said. “It’s a high volume traffic area. We

don’t want to see it unlit and uncontrolled.”

Committee member Gord Stevenson said the group’s focus for the last two months has been to try to convince the city it needs an independent traffic engineer to study the city and highway layout and what roads will be involved.

“When we started looking at the proposed option one as citizens we realized it’s going to be a serious intersection with congestion and the possibility of more accidents,” Stevenson said.

“There have to be other options, that’s all we’ve been trying to get the city to look at,” he said.

CALL THE DREAM TEAM

Whether the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure should proceed with detailed designs for upgrades to Highway 97 in Williams Lake will be decided by city council next Tuesday.

Last Tuesday at its committee of the whole meeting council received a report from staff about the proposed new signalized highway intersection at Toop Road and improvements made to the design by the MOTI. If the new intersection was developed, drivers heading west off the highway at Toop would have the choice to turn onto McKinnon Road or 11th Avenue.

And with the main intersection relocating, the lights would be removed at the Carson Drive intersection.

Vehicles travelling up Carson would exit left along McKinnon Road or right onto the highway. Vehicles travelling north on Highway 97, wanting to turn left on Carson, would enter a meridian-protected lane. People wanting to enter the highway from Broadway Avenue would travel up to the Toop intersection.

“Other refinements include installing further pedestrian improvements such as sidewalks, retaining

the current Broadway Avenue alignment, and constructing a bike path near North Broadway Avenue,” the city said in a press release Wednesday.

In the report, staff said a citizens committee concept involving an overpass, underpass and roundabouts at Toop was reviewed by the MOTI, but not recommended.

“While it provides enhanced safety and mobility on the highway, it has a number of significant impacts,” the report noted. Some of the impacts cited included grade problems and larger number of property acquisitions required to accommodate the roundabouts.

“A previous design incorporating the use of roundabouts had been considered and rejected during project development in recent years,” the city said.

Citizen committee members said Wednesday they disagreed with the ministry’s findings and said whoever reviewed the concept was “shooting in the dark.”

“There were no phone calls or contact from the city back to us, or contact from the ministry back to us,” John Moon said. “They didn’t really know what the proposal was because they had not spoken to us.”

BLUE PANEL: Visits

Esk’etemc community praised for proactive approach on crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Crime reduction panel chair Darryl Plecas said he was inspired and impressed after visiting Williams Lake and Alkali Lake last week.

On Thursday and Friday Plecas and members of the provincial Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Reduction were in the Cariboo.

“Everybody is working toward the same goal and together,” he said of the efforts in Williams Lake.

“That’s not to say there aren’t challenges but it was good to see a community response.”

That community response involves not only the RCMP, but the schools, volunteers and people from different sectors

It’s not just about arresting people, it’s about helping people and I think that’s the key word that would describe the people in Williams Lake. Everybody’s pointed toward helping people.”

- Darryl Plecas in the community, he explained.

“There are incredible things happening in Williams Lake and things that aren’t happening that people say should be happening. We left the presentation saying to ourselves, the people of Williams Lake need no lessons on how to reduce crime, they know what they are doing. They just need some help with putting things in place which help them do what they want to do better.”

The RCMP told the panel they can only do so much, Plecas said.

“It’s not just about arresting people, it’s about helping people and I think that’s the key word that would describe the people in Williams Lake.

Everybody’s pointed toward helping people.”

Esk’etemc (Alkali Lake) has done a “remarkable” job as a community to nearly eliminate substance abuse, Plecas said.

“There’s a very low level of substance abuse in that community. They’re putting in place the kinds of things which reduce the likelihood that someone will be involved in criminal activity in the first

place and be helpful to people who ultimately get caught up in criminality.”

It’s an example that all First Nations and non-First Nations communities could emulate, he added.

“Theirs is a whole of community perspective that involves everybody. If you aren’t involved as a working stakeholder, you’re involved as a mentor.”

The community also has a strong commitment to restorative justice and a recovery-based perspective on substance abuse, Plecas said.

“They have a very deep understanding

A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline

Talk To Us Today About Your Financial Goals.

and recognition that if you ever want to come to grips with substance abuse issues you have to do that by being especially attentive to trauma. And for people in First Nations communities that relates back to residential school issues.”

Esk’etemc has reached out to bring youth who have run into troubles with substance abuse or crime in bigger centres back home to the community or get

them into school.

“It’s a very proactive approach,” Plecas said.

At the end of the day, the most significant measurement of their success is to ask what percentage of people in the community are in the midst of alcohol and drug abuse and what percentage of the people are involved with crime.

After the panel completes its visits of communities across the province it will prepare a “do” report, Plecas said.

“It’s not going to contain a long list of recommendations.

Our goal is to have a list of very actionable recommendations.”

Go Team Canada After a four-year wait, the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia have finally arrived.

It’s always exciting to watch the Olympics, but we here in the Cariboo have a special connection to the 22nd International multi-sport event as our beloved Carey Price will be playing for Team Canada on the men’s hockey team.

Along with an entire community of fans, Price also has many friends and family in the Cariboo Chilcotin who will undoubtedly be cheering him on as he and Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo serve as the goaltenders for the defending gold medal champs.

The men’s team is scheduled to play their first game Feb. 13 against Norway, then Feb. 14 against Austria and Feb. 16 against Finland.

The women’s hockey team will start play earlier than the men with their first matchup Feb. 8 against Sweden, then Feb.10 against Finland before facing off with the U.S. Feb. 12 — fuelling the dreams of many of our little girls today who could one day play in their own Olympics.

The Opening Ceremonies are slated to kick off today (Feb. 7), marking the beginning of 17 days of excitement as the stories of the competitors unfold before our very eyes. Canada did well in the last Olympics which, of course, we hosted in Vancouver, and we are hoping as a country we can match or even surpass our 2010 medal count.

The lead up to these — the 22nd Olympics — has, however, been marred in controversy.

Safety concerns were made real last month with two separate public bombings by terrorists who have threatened more action, making these Olympics one of the most dangerous and expensive games in history.

Couple that with allegations of corruption and violations of human rights of gays and lesbians and you have a hotbed of political issues. Let’s hope the politics of the games will be drowned out by the great show given by athletes from around the world.

Go Team Canada!

For all the people we don’t know...

I was very young when I first heard of Nelson Mandela, and my first impression of him wasn’t great.

The early events with Mr. Mandela occurred while my parents struggled to keep a Hospital in Zaire open, which is how I found myself in South Africa.

For safety’s sake, I had been sent as a boarding student to Helderberg High School near Cape Town.

I was 12 years old, and suddenly lived 20 minutes away from the action.

In my immaturity, the news of Mandela’s arrest, trial, and sentencing quickly led me to conclude that this stranger must certainly be up to no good.

A troublemaker, a criminal, or just someone fearfully powerful?

Living out Loud

with Rita Corbett

No one had coined the term ‘terrorist’ yet, but just the same — the man seemed frightening!

The news station reports all sounded the same, though the local populace was pretty tightlipped about things.

No one wanted to explain to me who Nelson Mandela was.

Or maybe they really didn’t

know.

It was also obvious that the descriptions of his character varied quite a bit depending on who was telling the story.

The story bent and twirled with the teller’s colour, language, political orientation, and background.

Sometimes it seemed that those who spoke most angrily were really angry about something else altogether.

As students, we were regularly driven past Pollsmoor prison as if it wasn’t there.

We peered at Robben Island through the mist like visitors viewing wildlife in a zoo.

But the omnipresent news of Nelson Mandela soon led us to shut it out.

We quit following the story, and the person, altogether, and

that was the end of my awareness of him for a long, long time.

Blithely, I floated through my teens into young adulthood, oblivious to the fact that in spite of all the judgments against him, somewhere a young man was, by choice, by character, by revelation, and by sheer grit and tenacity, becoming a great statesman.

Who would have known?

Perhaps I’m not much wiser now, though I am a touch older.

It’s sad when I write someone off without even knowing him, sad when I listen to just one side of a story.

Sad when I judge someone to be a throw-away without a real evaluation.

It’s especially sad, whatever the original story, when ‘mistake’ is translated into ‘hope-

less.’

Sadder still when I limit myself to judging, while myriads of Mr. Mandelas continue to develop.

I didn’t know Nelson Mandela in 1962 and I still don’t, in spite of Hollywood’s ‘Invictus.’

Perhaps though, he’s a bit like other people I turn away — unknown others who can think, make plans, change, and do some good in this world — no matter who they are or what they did in the past.

They might simply be someone I don’t know.

It’s time for me to judge a little more slowly, and condemn less readily.

Perhaps I was 12 long enough.

End this protracted B.C. school war B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

There are two reasons why the B.C. government must appeal the latest court ruling that damns its conduct, assesses damages of $2 million plus lawyer bills and appears to hand the B.C. Teachers’ Federation the keys to the treasury.

The first is practical politics. The legislature reopens Feb. 11, ironically right after Family Day. An appeal will give rookie Education Minister Peter Fassbender the cover he will need during the daily 30 minutes of sniper fire that is Question Period.

Rise. “It’s before the courts, Madam Speaker.” Sit. Even the trigger-happy Premier Christy Clark will be staying in her trench, after the bleeding wound she received from Justice Susan Griffin last week.

The second reason is practical economics.

The 2014 budget has gone to press. Government lawyers told the court that retroactively returning to 2001 classroom rules could cost $500 million, an estimate Griffin dismissed as “speculative.”

It could include compensation to retired teachers for earnings they gave up.

This retroactive lump would be on top of the ongoing costs, running to hundreds of millions more as 60 school districts try to reassemble the world of 2002.

This union victory began when the Supreme Court of Canada invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining in 2007, based on “freedom of association” in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The BCTF is piggy-backing on that landmark decision, in favour of the Hospital Employees’ Union, after Gordon Campbell ran roughshod over their sweetheart contract from the Glen Clark years. That one was settled for $85 million, including retroactive payments. In case there are parents and taxpayers who still believe that all would be calm had the NDP won the 2013 election, allow me to put that to rest.

NDP leader Adrian Dix took

to his Facebook page a couple of days after last week’s ruling, joining calls for an apology from Clark.

That would be for what Justice Griffin characterized as deliberately provoking a strike to build public support for the latest of a long line of settlements imposed on teachers. Within minutes, Dix received this caustic response from Tara Ehrcke, president of the Greater Victoria teachers’ union.

“But where was the NDP during the election campaign?” Ehrcke asked Dix. “You committed a measly $100 million – a third of what it will take to restore class sizes and less than the [NDP] platform in 2009, and only pocket change more than

the Liberals’ Learning Improvement Fund of $75 million.”

Note the mindset of this prominent member of the radical fringe that controls the BCTF. “A measly $100 million.” An extra $25 million?

“Pocket change.”

This is the same union boss who demanded that hundreds of teachers be hired (this week), so reorganizing current classes in the middle of the school year to make them smaller by one or two students.

Parents and students would endure yet another major disruption of the public school system. And who needs an increase in rural ambulance service or drug and alcohol treatment for street kids.

Let’s get those teacher-librarians

back in schools, and slightly reduce class sizes to offset declining enrolment!

No government, B.C. Liberal, NDP or Green Party, can let its unions control their own payroll, just as no private company can.

That goes double for this union, which had its own obvious role in provoking an illegal strike in 2012.

It made outrageous benefit demands and cancelled extracurriculars for months before it even specified its wage demand.

Bargaining, if you can call it that, resumes this week. Both sides need to cease fire.

Group shows support in Ottawa for New Prosperity I was in Ottawa this week with a group to promote the New Prosperity project.

We met with the Conservative caucus and parliamentary secretaries to let them know there is very strong support for the project in the Cariboo.

Our group included MLA Donna Barnett, Chamber president Jason Ryll, former Chief Ervin Charleyboy, and a number of Cariboo business people.

Federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq has until

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook

the end of February to make a decision on whether the mine can go ahead.

Council considered a staff report on the Highway 97 four-

laning project at a Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday evening, and made a recommendation to proceed with Option One, which was presented to the community last June.

This option for the most part retains existing traffic patterns, though the signalized intersection on the highway will move from Carson Drive to Toop Road.

Refinements to Option Oneconsidered Tuesday include pedestrian improvements and

the addition of a bike path on Broadway Avenue.

Staff at the City and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure also considered a Citizen’s Committee proposal for roundabouts on each side of the highway.

After producing a concept drawing taking into account road and safety standards, as well as terrain, the concept was found to have significant cost and property impacts.

Council will formally consid-

er the recommendation to move forward with the refined Option 1 at the Feb. 11 council meeting.

Everyone is invited to come to the complex on Family Day Monday, Feb. 10 for a free family skate from 10:30 a.m. to noon, funded by a provincial grant.

There will be free skate rentals and the concession will be open.

A great way to spend some active family time together!

Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Justice needed in crime against councillor Editor: I was appalled and disgusted to hear about the recent arson attack on the house of Councillor Surinderpal Rathor, longtime member of Williams Lake City Council.

To experience such a horror of hatred at any time would be bad enough, but to be forced to endure it at

I am writing in response to an article in the January 24 issue of the Williams Lake Tribune; “Bennett pushes for New Prosperity Mine.”

In this article BC Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is quoted as saying, “What’s being proposed in New Prosperity is not out of the norm. It’s an open pit copper/gold mine that is actually very similar to open pit copper/gold mines that we already have….”

If all open pit copper/gold mining proposals are the same then there was a lot of effort wasted in the environmental review process. Two independent federal environmental review panels and the provincial environmental assessment process all reached the conclusion that there were problems with this mining proposal.

the same time one is grieving the loss of a family member is beyond comprehension.

What were those who did such a thing thinking?!

Answer: They were not, of course.

My deepest sympathies and utmost compassion to Mr. Rathor and his family.

I know him personally as an honourable

and caring person who has served this city well for decades, and what happened to his family is no less than a disgrace.

As bad as it was, it would be far worse to allow a miscarriage of justice by letting the tragedy fade away unanswered.

In the interest of justice, those who did such a thing should be

charged with attempted murder, and I am not joking.

When a person sets a house afire, it may be their intention that the residents will escape unharmed and lose only material possessions, but they cannot guarantee that.

A person could be asleep, or on medication, or worse yet, have unexpected

Bennett disregards seepage concerns Editor:

Friday, February 7, 2014 Tribune Weekend Advisor

If Mr. Bennett really doesn’t understand what is different about the New Prosperity proposal, he should ask his staff for an explanation.

The BC Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) participated in the latest federal environmental assessment process by reviewing the Environmental Impact Statement and supplemental information submitted by Taseko, and providing written comments to the panel. The following quotes are from a six-page memo, dated July 29, 2013, signed by the Manager of Environmental Geoscience and Permitting and the Senior Environmental Geoscientist: “MEM concludes that it is unlikely that the project can be developed as currently designed without adverse effects to the water quality of Fish Lake and its tributar-

ies from TSF seepage.

Even with expensive and long-term measures to mitigate TSF seepage, the protection of Fish Lake water quality may not be assured.

MEM expects that the amount of financial security that could be required to fund this scale of long term liability would be very high and are likely unprecedented in the province.”

I can only speculate on what political pressure the authors of this memo may have experienced but the immediate response from Taseko’s lawyer is part of the public record. On Aug. 6,

2013, MEM submitted a letter of “clarification,” addressed to the panel and Taseko’s lawyer. The Aug. 6, letter doesn’t substantially alter their overall conclusion and I feel the original memo likely more accurately reflects the unfettered professional judgment of senior Ministry of Energy and Mines staff.

All of these documents are available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s website so anyone that is interested can read them and judge for themselves.

The Syrian Bride next up for film club Krista Liebe

Special to Tribune/Advisor The Syrian Bride (2005) will be shown by the Williams Lake Film Club on its regular night Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Back doors to the Gibraltar Room open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. showing.

This is our last film before Valentine’s Day so we thought we’d choose a film about love ... and marriage.

The Syrian Bride is a powerful film about physical, mental and emotional borders and the courage it takes to cross them.

Told with great humour and compassion, its story provides an emotionally stirring look at the human side of political conflict, focusing on the hopes and dreams of one family trapped in this no-man’s land. Maybe even most amazing, this film has been a collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian filmmakers.

Shot on location in the Golan Heights, the languages in this 97 minute film are Arabic/ Hebrew/English/Russian/French with English subtitles.

The Syrian Bride was shot on location in the Golan Heights, Isreal’s mountainous northern region, one of the most beautiful and

Back doors to the Gibraltar Room open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. showing. most traveled parts of the country. According to wikipedia the Golan Heights is the area captured from Syria and occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War, territory which Israel effectively annexed in 1981.

It still is under dispute and considered a no-man’s land between two nations. This is where Mona and her family live and try to arrange for her wedding day.

To most women this

is the happiest event in your life. To Mona, however, it just might be the saddest day. Once she crosses the border into Syria to be with her future husband, she will never be allowed back to her beloved family in the Druze village of Majdal Shams.

The border into Israel is closed to Syrians.

There are many characters in this international society: Mona’s father Hammed is a leading political figure in this city; he

had arranged for this daughter’s wedding to Tallel many years previous and Tallel has in the meantime become a successful actor in Syria. His older son

comes back from Russia, where he now lives with his wife, but his father still will not forgive him for leaving the land of his birth.

His younger son is a financial wolf in Italy, who uses his visit home to reconnect with his former girlfriend, an American United Nations representative.

His youngest daughter tries to help her sister Mona to deal with the stress and details of the big day as she is being caught between being a modern woman and having to adhere to the old traditions. Admission for Tuesday films is $9 regular, $8 for film club members, and $6 for seniors (65+) and high school and TRU students.

And remember, this Saturday, Feb. 8, you will finally be able to see the film INUK from Greenland, about Inuit people caught in modern society.

The fee for Saturday is $5 (free for children under age 12).

• During this time hundreds of youth from our area have been involved in this worthwhile program?

• Many adults have also been involved making this program work for youth?

We need your help!

During the past two years, there has been a loss in enrolment due to attrition and loss of parental involvement.

This branch of the Sea Cadet Corps is now in danger of being shut down after 48 successful years of operations.

The 202 Chilcotin Sea Cadet Corps need to have more youth in its ranks and parents helping as volunteers and staff to make this program a continued success.

What is the meaning of wellness?

Is it just the absence of disease?

What is a holistic approach to optimum health?

Wellness is a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being.

There are many factors that contribute to wellness. Nutrition, exercise, attitude, music, meditation, self esteem, stress and spirituality are just some examples. Hence the term “holistic approach to wellness” is becoming more and more popular.

People are recognizing the importance of having a well balanced life.

Research has shown that wellness has a direct effect on the quality of life, and can increase productivity in the workplace as well.

It also helps us manage our stress, rather than our stress managing us!

Creating and maintaining wellness with our surroundings is always an ongoing challenge. However, one that is well worth it and the payoff is great.

Managing our stress well has an impact of all aspects of our lives, be it physical, personal or professional.

Stress can weaken our immune systems, therefore, helping with the onset of a condition, disease, or illness.

Attitude and spirituality also play an important role in our well-being.

We all go through life with its highs and lows, but it is our attitude that can boost or weaken our immune system. Making conscious choices in life and taking responsibility for our actions, all help us to become stronger and healthier individuals.

Connecting with the ones you love, building healthy relationships, and continually help others is key to the path of wellness.

Having an overall, well balanced life can also improve our immune system greatly and will help us to stay grounded in the face of challenges, difficulties or health related issues.

The question is, how do we create and maintain this balance and wellness in our lives? The answer is rather simple. By paying attention to the factors mentioned above that impact our health and wellness. This does not happen overnight but have patience and perseverance! This will help us to enjoy a greater quality of life ~ one that is balanced. The best way to select a spa, massage or holistic session is to ask at the time of booking, about its specific benefits. These could include relaxation, stress release, detoxification, increased circulation, immune system stimulation, ease aches and pains, etc.

BC Family Day

Make it a Family Day in BC’s natural playground on February 10th You might win a family ski getaway at Big White!

By Kerry Vital, Black Press ife gets busy sometimes and spending time with loved ones can become difficult.

Family Day, taking place Feb. 10, is the perfect reason to gather the family and take in some of British Columbia’s best attractions.

Start with Big White Ski Resort, just outside of Kelowna.

“There’s something for everyone here,” says Katie Balkwill, regional sales manager for Big White Ski Resort. “We’re Canada’s largest ski-in ski-out resort.

Anywhere you wake up, you’ll be on the slopes, and the quality of our snow is amazing.”

Black Press readers can enter to win a weekend for four (two adults and two children under 18) at Big White Ski Resort, with lift passes and two nights accommodation in a slopeside hotel room. For more information, visit your local Black Press paper’s website and click on the contests link.

Big White is about more than skiing and snowboarding though. Balkwill also notes that they have an ice-climbing tower, fireworks every Saturday night over the huge outdoor skating rink and many other activities for the whole family.

On Feb. 10, B.C. residents will be able to purchase a single-day lift ticket for 50 per cent off. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway, British Columbians can book any two consecutive nights and two days of skiing, and Big White will give you the third night and third day of skiing at half-price, valid between Feb. 7 and Feb. 13.

The Lower Mainland is home to plenty of family-friendly outdoor spots, including Granville Island, numerous beaches and parks. If it’s indoor fun you’re looking for, attractions such as the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, the Museum of Vancouver, Science World at the Telus World of Science, the Vancouver Aquarium and the Vancouver Art Gallery should all be tops on your list.

Outdoor activities are also plentiful in B.C.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is one of Vancouver’s most well-known attractions, with its famous suspension bridge, Treetops Adventure, Cliffwalk and other places to explore. The North Shore mountains all offer a variety of activities, including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tobogganing, or you can go a bit farther afield to visit Whistler Blackcomb.

On B.C. Family Day, lift tickets at many participating ski areas will be offered to B.C. residents at 50 per cent off. For more information and the list of participating resorts, visit www.skicanada.org.

B.C. has more than 850 parks and natural areas to hike in, including Vancouver Island’s West Coast Trail. Provincial parks are often host to several hiking trails, or check out the Sunshine Coast Trail or Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.

at one of B.C.’s ranches, whether it’s a weekend trip in B.C.’s Interior or a day trip just outside of Metro Vancouver.

In Northern B.C., climbing and caving can take place all year-round at one of the local mountain ranges. Guided tours are often available to show you some truly beautiful scenery, from glaciers to frozen waterfalls. Dog-sledding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also great pursuits to try.

The Southern and Northern Gulf Islands are just a ferry ride away from the mainland, and can open up a brand-new world of hiking, cycling and other outdoor activities.

Kris Andrews photo

Naturalist Kris Andrews is an avid artist and local photographer who finds many bird subjects to photograph on hikes around the region and right at Scout Island Nature Centre. This beautiful photograph (right) is of a Northern Saw Whet Owl who lives at Scout Island. In spite of being mobbed by chickadees, crows and photographers, Andrews said the owl stayed right on his perch along one of the Scout Island Trails.

She said he was likely taking a rest while digesting a good meal.

MONEY MATTERS Disability may qualify for tax relief But before you start adding up your expenses, you must first file Form T2201 – the Disability Tax Credit Certificate – with your return. The form has to be completed by a doctor, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, psychologist, physiotherapist or speech language pathologist and is used by the CRA to determine if your disability meets the prescribed requirements.

What credits are available?

For 2013, the basic federal disability claim is $7,697, which translates into a federal tax credit of $1,155. The provincial tax savings vary depending on where you are living. Because it is a non-refundable credit, it only works to reduce your tax payable – it is not refunded if you don’t have any tax owing. If you don’t use the entire credit, you may be able to transfer it to someone else, such as a spouse or parent.

For disabled children under 18, there is also a $4,490 supplement, which will increase the maximum federal claim to $12,187.

However, this amount is reduced by child care expenses and attendant

care expenses in excess of $2,630 that were claimed for the child.

Disabled children can also qualify for the $500 Children’s Fitness Credit, including an additional $500 tax credit for any additional equipment that needs to be purchased to participate in an activity.

There are cases when taxpayers support a relative who does not meet the strict definition of “disabled,” but is still dependant by reason of an infirmity. If the dependant lives with you and has net income of less than $21,854, you may be able to claim a caregiver amount of up to $6,530 for a potential federal tax break of $680. If the dependant does not live with you, you may still be able to claim an amount for infirm dependants if his or her net income is less than $13,078.

However, in both cases, the dependant must be at least 18 at the end of the year.

Each province also has its own disability and caregiver credits. Be sure to check the provincial credits available to you.

Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) The 2007 Federal Budget introduced the WITB designed

find out how life changes could affect your tax situation

to help lower-income Canadians transition into the workforce. In most provinces, the WITB disability supplement will be equal to 25 percent of earned income in excess of $1,150, up to a maximum of $495. The amount will be reduced for single taxpayers with no dependants with a net income in excess of $17,827 and for families with a net family income in excess of $27,489.

Different calculations apply in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Nunavut.

Additional expenses In some cases, an attendant is required to help care for the disabled

person. The cost of attendant care can be claimed as a medical expense.

However, if the attendant care cost exceeds $10,000, you cannot claim both the expenses and the disability amount – you have to decide which credit results in the most tax savings.

If you incur disabilityrelated expenses in order to work or go to school, you may also be able to claim a deduction for them. For example, if you require a teletypewriter to make and receive phone calls, you may be able to deduct the cost. If you need an attendant to work or go to school, it will

also be more beneficial to claim the cost under this provision instead of as a medical expense.

Check the government’s guidelines on these deductions to make sure yours qualify..

Income Tax reTurns No Appointments Necessary Walk-Ins Welcome Open Year Round

!

Canadians living with disabilities are eligible for a number of tax breaks designed to compensate for the extra expenses incurred.

Even if you haven’t claimed your disability in the past, you may want to check if you qualify this year. The guidelines have recently been modified to include more Canadians.

What does ‘disabled’ mean?

A disability is a severe impairment which makes it extremely difficult or time-consuming for you to carry out basic activities of daily living, even if you are undergoing therapy and using appropriate devices and medications.

The impairment must last or be expected to last 12 months and severely restrict your ability to see, walk, speak, hear or perform personal care activities or seriously affect your mental capacity to manage your personal affairs.

The definition also allows for the cumulative effect of multiple impairments that individually would not be severe enough to qualify. For example, a taxpayer with multiple sclerosis who constantly experiences fatigue, depressed mood and balance problems will probably now qualify.

A d d i t i o n a l modifications also make it easier for sufferers of Type 1 juvenile diabetes to claim the disability credit.

Generally, diabetics only qualify if their condition requires “life-sustaining therapy” for at least three times a weeks for a total of at least 14 hours. In the past, taxpayers who controlled their condition with a syringe generally did not qualify under this provision. This is because Canada Revenue Agency took into account only the time administering the insulin when determining if the 14-hour requirement was met.

However, the government has added the monitoring of blood sugar levels and dosage requirements to the types of activities that constitute therapy. As a result, more diabetics should now qualify.

HYDRO POLES REPLACED DESPITE DEEPFREEZE Angie Mindus photo

The recent cold spell hasn’t slowed down BC Hydro crews, who worked downtown Wednesday replacing an old pole.

Overnight temperatures dipped to -29.5°C in town Tuesday and a bone-chilling -39°C at Puntzi Mountain overnight Wednesday.

Dancers needed for local production Workshops are coming up this month to help a lakecity songwriter bring his musical vision to the stage.

Set in the historical Cariboo during the early 1900’s, A Northern Tale is a quintessential Canadian folktale expressed with the original music of Glen Burrill and interpreted through dance, images and spoken word.

“I think the story has something for everybody, being from the Cariboo,” says Burrill, who has been writing music since his early teens and began working on this particular project in 2001.

He is looking forward to seeing his musical vision develop as a collaborative community project.

“I think it will be a lot of fun.”

Based on the fairy tale, Cap O’ Rushes, he has interpreted the story for a Cariboo audience. A daughter is cast out of her father’s house and comes of age through a journey in the wilderness, encounters with local First Nations, and making her own way in the rough and ready Cariboo ranching life.

The production will include narration as well as the original musical score, framed by the photography of Chris Harris.

Burrill says the project team is seeking a choreographer, dancers, a narrator and musicians.

People interested in participating in the project and especially dancers are invited to explore the music in workshop sessions coming up at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Sunday, Feb. 16

from 7 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Feb. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m.

While these will not be formal auditions, dancers are encouraged to come prepared to participate in exploring the story and

music and to consider whether they would be interested in getting involved in the project, Burrill says.

For more information please contact Glen or Anne Burrill at 250-398-6315.

Operation Smile hosts Winter Blues Tea to benefit children Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake physician Dr. Stefan De Swardt knows first hand the importance of cleft lip and palate surgery.

When he was an infant in South Africa, he had the surgery.

The first procedure when he was three months old. The second at nine months of age.

Dr. Stefan De Swardt “I even had surgery last year in Vancouver,” he said. “It was a final repair because some times the older you get,

things change. I had to have a bit of a bone wrap put in.”

Being an adult and going through the surgery was interesting, he said.

“Of course I can’t remember what it was like when I was nine months old.”

For two and a half years, De Swardt has been part of a group in Williams Lake that raises money for Operation Smile — the non-profit

international medical charity that provides safe, effective reconstructive surgery and related medical care for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

The surgery has to be performed by a plastic surgeon and involves dental work and bone grafts.

“I’m a family doctor and would love to be able to do the surgery, but I’m not qualified.

You also need anesthesiologists, dieticians and speech therapists as part of the team.”

Operation Smile, started in the 1970s, has travelled to Asia, South American, Mexico and other places in North America to perform the surgery.

Surgery should be performed as early as possible because cleft lips or palates can inhibit an infant’s ability to breastfeed or bottle

feed because they cannot get suction.

“A lot of them are at risk of malnutrition or death,” De Swardt said.

It’s not known what causes cleft lips and palates, but there can be stigma attached because people don’t know a lot about it.

“Some people blame the mother that she must have done something, but I’m a twin and my sister doesn’t have one.”

On Saturday, Feb. 22, the group is hosting a Winter Blues Tea from 2 to 4 p.m. at Cariboo Bethel Church on Western Avenue to raise funds for Operation Smile.

“I will do a short presentation, and there will be some other speakers,” De Swardt said.

To date the $10,500 raised locally by the group has gone toward supplies and equipment.

Her Face Was Radiant I had the privilege of attending the Williams Lake CaribooChilcotin Prayer Gathering last Friday evening January 31st in the Gibraltar Room. Catholics, Evangelical Free, Seventh Day Adventist, Mennonite Brethren, Reformed, Christian Missionary Alliance, Pentecostal, Anglicans, Salvation Army and others joined together in a time of singing, inspiration and prayer for our city and region. We laughed and sang and it felt like a family reunion long overdue. We are distinctive churches, but we found unity as we met on common ground in front of the Cross. We agreed that Jesus is our King, our Healer, our Friend, our Savior.

Many commented on this event.

“This was an amazing gathering, and we need to do it again and again!” A woman I spoke with said “I’ve always wondered why Christians can’t get along…now I see we can!” Someone said this event was a spark of unity. In reply, another person said “That wasn’t just a spark…that was a gallon of gas on a fire! I have never been part of something like that!” Someone else shared that “It was a taste of heaven!”

One particular moment just at the end of the event stands out in my

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT mind. Everyone was moving out of their chairs toward tables stocked with snacks and coffee (Thank You Sacred Heart!). I glanced up at the descending crowd and one person stood out in that moment. She was laughing and smiling, and her face was radiant. She was obviously having an enjoyable time (at a church event! I know, right?) But there was something more-- she was glowing with joy.

I was reminded of Psalm 133:1 and 3 “How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! And there the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even

life everlasting.” (Tyndale House Publishers. (2007). New Living Translation. Carol Stream, IL) This sister’s radiant face was an expression of this principle in living color. The family of God is meant to walk together and when we do, God pours out goodness.

I was also reminded of one of the most beautiful word pictures in the Bible. Revelation 21 records it vividly: “I saw the… new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband…It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.” (The New International Version. [2011].

Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.)

I believe John’s Revelation vision of the New Jerusalem is actually a picture of His Church. Church is a family made up of every person who trusts Jesus as Savior and Lord. John paints the picture of a church as beautiful as a Bride.

Somehow, at the end, the ‘Bride’ will be glowing with joy, wholeness, purity, power and love. Sure, the Prayer Gathering was one tiny event. Yet, as we sang and prayed in unity, I was convinced again that God is preparing a church as beautiful as a radiant Bride.

Social media used to move treaty process forward Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In hopes to engage more members in its treaty process the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NStQ) have launched a new interactive website.

Leaders gathered last week at the NStQ board room in Williams Lake to welcome the launch.

“We’ve been in a treaty process for a number of years and we’ve always stated we need to find a way to communicate with our communities and members,” Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said.

“We are nearing an agreement in principle and we must all get informed on exactly what we are looking at in treaty.”

Canim Lake band councillor Andrea Boise said the website will reach youth, young adults and elders and bridge gaps.

Canoe Creek Chief David Archie said the website, which includes Facebook, will help tackle the “on-reserve off-reserve” strain bands find themselves in and will reach out to band members wher-

Louie said as the treaty process unfolds the NStQ needs social media tools and “must” learn how to use them and encourage staff and community members to become more involved.

Treaty team co-ordinator Allan Tweedie said the NStQ is anticipating the agreement in principle documents to arrive in April from the federal and provincial governments.

“Our negotiation meetings usually take place in the Cariboo at the end of each month,” Tweedie said.

Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi (right) tackles an opponent during international rugby competition. Moleschi and her Canada Women’s Sevens teammates are preparing to travel to Atlanta, GA., next weekend for round two of the Women’s Sevens World Series.

Moleschi, Team Canada, prepare for Atlanta Look to put forward best at round two of rugby world series Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi is confident she and her Canada Women’s Sevens rugby teammates will show the world what they can do next weekend for the second round of the 2013/14 Women’s Sevens World Series in Atlanta, GA., Feb. 15-16.

The 23-year-old scrum half, after a much enjoyed visit with family and friends back home in Williams Lake over the holidays, returned to Rugby Canada’s training facility in Victoria Jan. 6 in preparation for the tournament.

After a week of training in Victoria the team then travelled to San Diego, CA., for a camp with the U.S. Women’s Sevens team —

We have a lot to bring to the field.

When we click we’re explosive.

We look so amazing out there, and we make great things happen.”

- Kayla Moleschi who will join Team Canada in Pool ‘A’ of the world series — that included live scrimmages, and live practice sets.

“It was a really great camp, and it kind of gave us a look at what they have and it gave them a look at what we have,” Moleschi said.

“It was good to play against them because we don’t always get to play our

competition, and they’re in our pool.”

Back in November during round one of the five-round WSWS Canada played to a fourth-place finish. Going back to Guangzhou, China, in March of last year, Canada finished in the top four in three straight WSWS tournaments.

This time, however, Moleschi said she thinks they

have the team to potentially go all the way.

“We have a lot to bring to the field,” she said, noting veterans Jen Kish and Mandy Marchak, who missed round one of the world series, will be returning to the team’s lineup this time around.

“When we click we’re explosive. We look so amazing out there, and we make

great things happen.”

Following round two in Atlanta the world series then shifts to Brazil from Feb. 21-22, followed by rounds in China in April and Amsterdam in May. As for how she wants to handle herself on the pitch, Moleschi said she’s looking at things one game at a time.

“I just want to play strong defensively and attack full speed, and don’t let anyone take me down easily,” she said.

“It’s just one game at a time and that’s what is going to get us into good position going into Brazil.”

Also joining Canada in Pool ‘A’ at the tournament will be Australia and China.

All games from the WSWS in Atlanta will be streamed live at wsws.irb. com.

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is hosting a free skate as well as offering free ice skate rentals to encourage families to celebrate B.C. Family Day, Feb. 10. Made possible by a provincial government grant, the event will take place Monday, Feb. 10, from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Saturday, Feb. 22 Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Game Banquet

The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association will host its annual Game Banquet Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Elks Hall. Doors open at 5 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m. Tickets are $35 a person, $60 for a couple or $25 for a junior, 18 and under, and are available at Chilcotin Guns, Surplus Herby’s, Blue Mountain Gunsmithing or from any of the directors of the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association.

Blue Fins’ club records fall at provincials

“Coral is now the

Choi swam to a 13th-place finish in the province in the

100-metre breaststroke, setting a new club record and making one qualifying swim for the Western Canadian Swimming Championships.

Choi also swam to a seventh-place finish in the 50-metre breast-

stroke time trial.

“Although the 200-metre breaststroke did not go as well as planned, her December swim, which broke a 12-year-old Blue Fins record now makes her the fastest female breaststroker in Blue Fins’ history,” Webb said.

Blusson also swam faster than any other 13-year-old in Blue Fins’ history, as she raced to a second-place finish in the 50-metre breaststroke time trial, 11th in the 100-metre breaststroke and eighth in the 200-metre breaststroke.

“Both girls swam lifetime bests in most of their swims and are getting better in all of their events,”

Biathletes fare well at provincials Fast-paced cross country skiing and precision target shooting.

That’s what three Williams Lake army cadets — Joshua Tucker, Olund Mork and Noah Brenner — were up to this past weekend when they competed at the Cadet Provincial Biathlon Championships at Mount Washington on Vancouver Island Feb 1.

The competitors were on edge with the recent closure of Mt. Washington late last week due to insufficient snow fall.

Cadets were instructed to pack running shoes along with ski gear, and in the event that it didn’t re-open, they would have to adopt a summer biathlon model and “run and shoot.” By some miracle (and a snow dance or two), snow started to fall on Friday, Jan. 31 and the Nordic centre was re-opened with minimal trails available for skiing.

Cadets were ecstatic and embraced the few cm of snow that fell.

The race kicked off late Saturday morning after a period of zeroing the rifles; ensuring they were adjusted properly and shooting accurately, and equipment check to confirm that individual equipment met the race standards for length of skis and poles.

The competition was fierce with a mix of 68 Army, Air and Sea Cadets from across B.C. racing in various age related categories for a chance to step onto the podium and secure a place for the Cadet National Biathlon Championships in Martock, N.S. in March.

Our team made an excellent effort and results were as follows: Cadet Olund Mork placed seventh overall out of 18 in the Senior Male category with a time of 29 minutes and 40 seconds. Cadet Joshua Tucker place seventh in the Youth Male category racing in at 30 minutes and 58 seconds. Newcomer to biathlon Cadet Noah Brenner finished strong and placed 13th in the Junior Male category racing a shorter course coming in at 30:01.

Even though our boys did not secure any hardware, they really did well and I’m proud of them says team Coach Captain Irene Berns.

Williams Lake cadets were fortunate to have Bull Mountain for ski training north out of town, and the Williams Lake Rod and Gun club for marksmanship south out of town. What would be ideal and makes a huge difference is being able to practice all in the same location like the lucky cadets who get to train on a regular basis at

Tips from The CrD

• Heed the Warnings – if weather and driving conditions are reported as being unsafe then don’t drive if you don’t need to.

• Know the Hazards – blizzards, heavy snow, freezing rain, extreme cold, high winds, and black ice can all affect the roads and your ability to navigate in the conditions.

• Tune up Your Vehicle –Get a complete fall checkup of your mechanical systems, battery, ignition, lights, brakes, tires, exhaust & heating systems, and windshield wipers and fluid.

• Be a Prepared Driver – be well rested, use seat belts, secure children/passengers properly, clear snow from vehicle, clean windows & lights and if you need to pull off the road, try and do so at a pull out or a safe juncture on the roadside.

• Check Weather and Road Conditions before you leave.

• Carry a Winter Survival Kit that contains: a shovel, sand, tire chains, paper towels, flares, extra clothing, food, booster cables, ice scraper, matches & candle, fire extinguisher, wiper fluid, road maps, flashlight, first-aid kit and blanket.

Obituaries Dick Poole

Sept. 30, 1932 - Feb. 2, 2014 Dick (George Richard) Poole was born on September 30, 1932 to Frederick and Alice Poole, in Vancouver, B.C. Dad went to school in Vancouver until the age of 14, when he left school to explore. His adventures took him to many parts of B.C., where he worked numerous odd jobs from ranch hand, to picking pine cones, until he finally joined the railway life.

In 1954, the romance of the impending war enticed him to join the army. Dad served 3 years while stationed with the Peace Corps in Europe, and loved to entertain us with the often humorous and sometimes horrendous stories from his time overseas.

Back home and again with the railway, Dad moved to Prince Rupert, and it is here that he met his beloved soul mate, Nola Anderson. They were married in 1961 and spent an incredibly happy 4 years, making many, many good friends in Rupert. First daughter Caren (Pritchard) was born here in 1963.

A family venture, owning a summer resort (Kawkawa Lake) lured them to move to Hope in 1964, which they helped build up and run until 1966. Second daughter Tricia was born here in 1965.

In 1966, Dad decided to return, once again, to the railway and then moved to the lower mainland. They lived in Coquiltam, in a quiet neighborhood, and adopted their much coveted son Kenneth in 1968.

Mom and Dad decided that the big city was not where they wanted to raise their family, so in 1974 Dad transferred with the railway to the north, first a year in Mackenzie and then finally finding a permanent home in Williams Lake. The following year they purchased property on Chimney Lake, not far from Williams Lake, where the family (and friends!) spent many, many happy hours enjoying life. Dad slowly built what started out as a cabin, and finally turned into their home…many people will remember coming out for a swim and ending up with a hammer for a couple of hours of labour, or rock picking!

In 1981, Marjorie (Ross) was a final addition to the Poole family, making mom’s dream of having 4 children complete!

Dad retired early from the B.C. Rail in order to enjoy his golden years. Teaching Nancy Green skiing, golfing, helping friends and family with odd carpentry jobs as well as volunteering for the Hough Memorial and the Seniors Center took up much of his time. Spending as much time as possible with his 5 grandchildren was also a high priority to Dad… all of them have many wonderful memories of him patiently teaching them how to drive, fish, ski, play cards, and listen to stories (not always appropriate ones!) of his past. Attending ALL of the sporting events was very important too… even though he never understood what that game of rugby was all about!

With Mom’s passing in October, 2013, Dad lost his soul mate and his rock. He worked very hard to find joy in his quiet life, and understood that it was going to be a very difficult journey. This proved to be too much for him… on January 3rd, Dad lost the battle to stay with us and went to join his beloved wife and children.

Dad was predeceased by his parents, sister Barb (Helme), brother Bill (sister in law Rita), son Ken, daughter Tricia, and wife Nola.

LUFF, James A. July 16, 1914- January 8, 2014 Jim passed away peacefully Jan. 8, 2014 in Chemainus care home, just 6 months short of his 100th Birthday and 3 months short of his 75th wedding anniversary.

He is survived by his wife Elida of 74 years, four children, Robert [Betty], Mary, Phyllis and Jacqueline, 11 grandchildren 17 great grandchildren and 6 great, great, grandchildren.

Jim was born in Victoria to Jessie and Augustus Luff, pioneer settlers from England. Most of his schooling was in Parksville BC, active in badminton and baseball teams as a youth.

Work took him in many directions and places. Diaries show 32 different addresses. His first work was as a predator hunter of cougars, then logging on Van. Is. and in the Cariboo, gillnet fishing for the Cassier Cannery, and in 1952 he moved to Horsefly BC to try his hand at cattle ranching (while still fishing in the summer months). He bought the Fred Myers farm on the 108 road, where he managed a herd of about 200 Herefords.

He returned to Van. Is. 1967 to Mill Bay where he built his 3rd house, and a new boat, the White Rock II, and continued fishing and prawning. His passions were building, gardening, garage sells and property development.

Jim was predeceased by his parents, sisters Amy and Dorothy and son Gordon.

T-wolves solid at home tourney The atom development Williams Lake Timberwolves skated to a solid outing last weekend at its 10team home tournament.

Williams Lake joined 100 Mile House, Kamloops, Kitimat and Prince George in pool ‘A,’ finishing third in the round robin after posting one win and two

losses. Williams Lake opened with a 4-3 loss against Prince George, followed by a 3-2 win over Kamloops and a 6-0 defeat facing Kitimat.

The tournament began Friday evening at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex and wrapped up Sunday morning with playoff finals.

Jaxen Carson, Davis

Franklin and Brock Everett were awarded MVP awards, while Danielle O’Hara, Brayden Feeley and Dylan Passeri picked up heart and hustle awards.

In the T-wolves’ last contest against a tough Quesnel Thunder squad, Williams Lake fell 10-5 and finished sixth place in the tournament.

Fort St. John Kinsmen Flyers picked up the tournament win after knocking off the Prince George Leafs in the final.

Coming up this weekend is the Williams Lake Novice Hockey Tournament, which begins Friday at 4:30 p.m. and finishes Sunday featuring six local teams and four out-of-town teams.
