DON’T FORGET YOUR SUNGLASSES

Students and staff at Nagwuntl’Oo Elementary School at Anahim Lake get into the Olympic Games spirit in preparation to watch their hometown hero, Carey Price, suit up for Team Canada’s men’s Olympic hockey team.

Price, along with 150 other NHLers, arrived in Sochi, Russia, this week to begin practicing as a team for this week’s games.

Canada, despite winning the Olympic gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, is currently ranked fifth in the world heading into the tournament after finishing fifth at each of the last three world championships.

Anahim Lake follows Price at Olympics Angie Mindus Staff Writer Students and staff at Nagwuntl’Oo Elementary School at Anahim Lake will be glued to their television screen Thursday morning as they cheer on their hometown hero, Carey Price.

Canada’s defending champions men’s hockey team –– with Price as one of Canada’s two goalies –– is scheduled to open its tournament against Norway at the Bolshoy Ice Dome at 9 a.m. our

time in their first game in the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games in Russia.

The hockey schedule is being closely monitored by reporters and sports networks around the world, and the 12 students who make up Nagwuntl’Oo. “The kids are very, very excited,” said Johanne Brar, who works in administration at the kindergarten to Grade 5 rural school.

“There’s a lot of pride in Carey, especially for him to make it as far as he has.”

Brar said the students are able to watch all the Olympic games coverage thanks to a donation from Shaw, who gave the students a month of free satellite service.

If not for the donation, Brar said the RCMP detachment at Anahim Lake offered to squeeze all the students into their office to watch the hockey action.

Teacher Dylan Walsh said staff and students are thankful for the connection, and thrilled to have a front row seat to all of Price’s games.

“It’s so important for the kids to have healthy role models and inspiration and that’s what they have in Carey.”

Brar said students, parents and staff will watch Canada take on Norway Thursday morning and plan to share lunch together following the game. They’ll be ready to watch Canada face off against Austria Friday morning.

With Walsh’s help, the students are also keeping track of Canadian medal wins throughout the Olympics.

Delegation in Ottawa to oppose mine Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer On the heels of a pro-New Prosperity delegation having just returned from Ottawa last week, another delegation against the controversial project left for Ottawa Monday to have its position heard.

Tsilhqot’in Tribal Chair Joe Alphonse, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, J.P. Laplante, mining, gas and oil manager for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, Sage Birchwater of the Fish Lake Alliance based in Williams Lake, Patricia Spencer of Friends of Fish Lake (FOFL) based near 100 Mile House, and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip make up the delegation.

“This is something we were planning,” William said from Ottawa Tuesday afternoon. “We

knew that Minister of Mines Bill Bennett has been lobbying for the mine here in Ottawa and the group of business people who came here last week were too.

We planned all along to come and support the panel report.”

William said when it comes to issues around economics and jobs in the Cariboo Chilcotin, there are lots of other opportunities for jobs outside of mining.

On Thursday the group will meet with Conservative M.P. Dr. Colin Carrie, Parliamentary Secretary to Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, Birchwater said. On Tuesday they met with NDP MPs Nathan Cullen, Finn Donnelly, Peter Julian and mines critic Claude Gravelle, as well as Liberal MP John MacKay. William said the

group will also meet with representatives from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.

The FOFL said it was concerned about the negative impacts the project would have on First Nations.

“First Nations leadership from both the Tsilhqot’in and Secwepemc were unanimous in their rejection of the mine proposal,” FOFL noted in a press release.

The Fish Lake Alliance supports the Tsilhqot’in right to protect Fish Lake and the “importance of including First Nations directly in the major resource development projects in their traditional homelands,” Birchwater said.

Officers monitor overlimit ice fishing Monitoring overlimit ice fishing for lingcod is keeping conservation officers busy at night, Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Services said Monday.

“We have a few areas near Lac La Hache and 100 Mile House where people use set lines overnight for lingcod, using live fish for bait,” Butler said.

“They do it under the cloak of darkness.”

The problem with

possibly using live bait is the fact people are bringing in species that don’t belong in local lakes, he added.

“It’s a concern for sure, so we’re doing some night patrols for that.”

It is illegal to use minnows as bait whether they are native to the region or not, said the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The use of fin fish

— dead or alive — or parts of fin fish other than roe is prohibited throughout the province with a few exceptions.

People may use the head of fin fish or the headless body of fin fish as bait, only when sport fishing for sturgeon in Fraser River — Region 2 only, or when set lining in lakes of Region 6 (Skeena) or in lakes of Zone A of Region 7 (Omineca), the ministry noted.

David Maurice (left), Kyle Lay (centre) and Noreen McDonald (right) with the two-year-old male, healthy cougar that killed their dogs recently. McDonald’s dog was a Chow cross and Maurice’s was a working cow dog. The dogs were killed near their homes at Riske Creek.

Problem cougar tracked after attacking Riske Creek dogs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer David Maurice said he wishes he’d called a cougar tracker immediately after discovering his dog was killed by a cougar.

Last Wednesday Maurice’s two-yearold collie blue healer cross disappeared on his 70-acre property at Riske Creek.

He went looking for her that night, but didn’t find her.

The next morning he found blood and cougar tracks about 100 metres from his house.

Following the tracks he located the cougar lying near the kill, which it had covered with leaves and

grass.

Scared off by another one of Maurice’s dogs, the cougar left and ran across Highway 20 up into the mountains.

Maurice said he called Kyle Lay of Layser’s Kennel and Contracting from 150 Mile House who arrived Friday with dogs and tracked the cougar for six hours, but didn’t have any luck finding it.

Saturday morning Maurice went outside and discovered the cougar had returned, eaten some more of the kill, moved it and covered it up again, so he called Layser’s for a second time.

This time there were fresh tracks for

the cougar hounds to follow.

Within an hour and a half the cougar was treed and killed.

“Now I know I should have called them first because I scared the cougar away,” Maurice said.

Lay told Maurice the cougar was really tricky, that it had chased dogs and was used to them.

He was about two years old, very fat and healthy and had been staying in an old abandoned log cabin.

A week earlier a neighbour’s dog was also killed, probably by the same cat.

“He could have just lived on dogs. There are 13 dogs near here, and lots of children,”

Maurice said. “He didn’t need to go hunting anymore.”

In his 50 years of being a cowboy in the Chilcotin, Maurice has only seen a cougar twice in the wild.

“But I know there are lots around and they see me.”

Maurice’s dog was a working cattle dog and will be missed.

“This is the only time I didn’t tie her up too. It was so cold and I was going to bring her in the house.

She wasn’t gone for five minutes.”

Maurice is 65 and said he doesn’t know if he should get another working dog.

“It takes at least two years to train them.”

Williams Lake RCMP members respond to a call of a break and enter last Thursday on the 900 block of 11th Avenue North, however, they arrived to discover it was a false alarm.

RCMP: no leads in arson attack Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two weeks after an attack on city councillor Surinderpal Rathor’s home, RCMP said they

have made no progress solving the crime.

“We are still actively investigating,” Brown updated the Tribune Tuesday. “We are doing file reviews on past

arsons to see if there are any connections. We are exhausting all avenues.”

Rathor’s home on Moon Avenue was attacked with Molotov cocktails two times with-

Resident warns of phone scam Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer John Tucker is warning others in Williams Lake of a telephone scam where telemarketers use a local citizen’s phone number.

“On Sunday, a lady was called in town by a telemarketer,” Tucker told the Tribune Tuesday. “They wanted her

to press one and she hung up on them.”

When she checked her call display, it said unknown, but Tucker’s phone number appeared.

She called and asked if he had called her.

“I told her we hadn’t,” Tucker said, adding a few hours later another woman in the area received a similar

call. “The common denominator in both calls was a chance to win a trip with WestJet and to push one for more information.”

Tucker contacted the RCMP and was told to file his complaint with phone busters.

“Thankfully the lady I was talking to had the presence of mind to hang up,” he said.

in 90 minutes.

At the time police said witnesses observed someone running west on Moon Avenue from the scene, getting into a dark SUV which then

travelled north on Midnight Drive.

Rathor and his wife escaped unharmed, however, police said the potential for loss of life and home was significant.

CAMO

Language development is a cornerstone for being ready to learn in school. Language is the main way that your child will communicate with the world around them, expressing their needs and wishes.

Generally, between the ages of three and five your child’s vocabulary will almost double to about 1,500 words. Around age three, a child can use four-tofive-word sentences beginning with words like “I” and “you”. Most three-year-olds will begin using “what”, “where” and “how” to ask many questions, and will know social words like “hello”, “please”, and “thank you”. The best way to support speech is simply to talk with your child and listen to them.

Most preschoolers have the language skills to be part of family and play groups. Take advantage of opportunities that arise in everyday living to talk with each other.

TONED TRX

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week

New Drop In Fitness Class Wednesdays 9:30-10:30am

Recently staff at the Cariboo Recreation Complex have been receiving questions about the 2006 renovations and what was included in the scope of the project.

So here is the first question we would like to address: What was the scope of the last pool renovation?

The facility renovation completed in 2006 had numerous components, key ones included in the pool area were: the addition of new change rooms, pool lobby and offices, fitness centre and steam room as well as repairs to drain pipes and structural columns. A key objective of the proposed upgrade project is to maintain as much value from that renovation as possible.

Toned TRX is our toned ‘down’ version of TRX training. Class instruction will be geared to those using TRX for the first time, 55+ participants, new to fitness or returning to fitness.

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

A fresh start

Young ones filled with determination

T

F

or many years I was a hockey mom. I had to be. Four of our boys plus one foster son played in the Williams Lake minor league, all at the same time.

I spent hours in the old arena either at games, 6 a.m. practices, or at meetings (I went all the way and was on the WLMHA executive.) None of my Williams Lake grandchildren played hockey, so I missed an entire generation of minor league. Now, 30 years later, GGS#1 is in the novice division (age 7 to 8).

He is a Smashing Pumpkin.

French The team wears Connection smashing orange Diana French jerseys. The novices played in a tournament here this last weekend. I attended two of the SP’s four games. The first they lost badly, the last they won goodly (shutout). Both games were in rink two, which is not spectator friendly — too few seats for one thing.

Mind you, GGS#1’s rooting section was probably larger than the norm. It included both sets of grandparents and two great-grands.

Minor hockey has changed in the last three decades, for the better from the look of it. Girls didn’t play back in the 1970s, and equal ice time was an issue because a lot of coaches wanted only the best players on the ice so they could win games. What hasn’t changed is that though small in size, the youngsters are big in determination.

Speaking of ice, I like it better when it’s in the arena, not lurking all over the place.

Walking anywhere these days requires your head down and cautious footwork.

On-street parking often means having to navigate an icy strip between the street and sidewalk.

Some parking lots have little ice fields on each side of the designated parking place waiting to fell the unwary when they exit their vehicle. On the bright side, spring will come eventually.

Our Viewpoint

Support our athletes For most of the 200-plus athletes on the Canadian Olympic team, there are usually no fancy flights, five-star hotels or media scrums after practice.

For these dedicated, shining examples of clean living and old-fashioned Canadian hard work, typically there are no interview requests, agents, contracts or the glare of television cameras.

These Sochi Olympics is their time to shine, their payoff for years of early morning workouts in freezing conditions in relative obscurity.

Think of the bobsledder and cross-country skier. The speed skater and the athlete who does that scary skeleton thing. There is no Luge Night in Canada with its own theme song and TV audience of millions every Saturday night.

So, when you want to discredit the Olympics, when you want to yell about the colossal misuse of money or ridiculous Russian laws, try to think of that lonely cross-country skier, slogging day after day for years in the cold.

This is their time to shine. Generally speaking, they are not looking for fat contracts or endorsement deals, although the

latter can help them get through the next four years without as many cash calls to the parents.

They are true to their sport, their country and themselves.

More than any time in the past, Canadian athletes are getting better financial support from both government and corporations. We applaud that, and when we look at some of the places where our tax dollars land, supporting young people in healthy pursuits seems like one of the better ones.

While they get the biggest headlines, our men’s hockey team really shouldn’t be the focus of these Olympics (we will be watching every minute of every game, no point fibbing). But it’s hockey, and that shifts the balance of logic in this country, fair enough.

Today we are urging Canadians to support these lesser-known young athletes, during these Games and between Olympic years.

If you can’t get past your strong antiOlympics feelings, we ask you to consider this: Hate the game, not the player.

he past few weeks have been busy. From community meetings, chamber of commerce events, meeting with mayors and councils across the constituency, and one-onone meetings with constituents in my office, just to name a few. Being available to hear your voice is my first priority.

At press time, the Speech from the Throne would have already been read outlining the priorities for this upcoming session and the general legislative course of our government. Our priorities have not changed from the last session, which is a focus on job creation, strengthening the economy, and controlling government spending.

These priorities are top of MLA my mind every Musings single day, because these are Coralee Oakes the values I campaigned for and what you voted for in the last election.

This session will be busy with our government bringing forward several pieces of legislation that will make the quality of life better for British Columbians, and continue the consultation process on issues such as the disability white-paper and apology to the Chinese community.

Coming up next week our government will proudly table a balanced budget fulfilling our commitment to keep our fiscal house in order, and ensure that future British Columbians are not paying for our spending today.

As your representative at the legislature, I will continue to bring forward and discuss the issues that concern my constituency and the issues that you have brought forward to me over the past few months with my caucus colleagues.

While I may be in Victoria, please do continue to share your ideas and priorities with me. Contact the Cariboo-North Constituency Office at 1-866-991-0296 and speak with my constituency assistant and we will do our best to assist you.

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

It is a sad day in the community when a crime of this nature could take place.

The article in the Tribune of Jan. 29 states that “Police said they thought it was a deliberate attack.”

Obviously it was deliberate.

Shouldn’t the police have posted an officer in an unmarked vehicle after the first incident to watch for a black SUV, or any

suspicious persons entering the area?

Maybe the second, more serious attack could have been prevented, or the persons responsible could have been apprehended when they returned to the scene an hour and a half later.

I cannot believe how much prejudice there is in this area.

Put yourselves in the place of Surinderpal Rathor, who has just lost his only daughter, and then endures two attacks on his home that could have been fatal.

This after he has served the

community, and helped people for almost 40 years.

I would like to know who committed this heinous crime.

I don’t believe that this incident was even on the CTV news.

This city has changed so much from the village that I grew up in, a wonderful place to work and raise a family, with only minor crime — a great community with traditional values.

My sincere condolences to Surinderpal Rathor and his family.

Neil Young’s critics missing the point Editor: Probably everyone is aware that Neil Young has taken aim at the Tar Sands Projects. His four-city concert tour to raise money to support Athabaska First Nations’ legal action to protect its treaty rights, was met with the usual polarized arguments typifying the present political climate in Canada.

Young, as most people who have witnessed the Tar Sands’ environmental damage, was not too impressed, and expressed his dismay in powerful language, language offensive to some. The federal government’s only official response came from an MP who stated that Mr. Young needs gasoline as does everyone else.

It’s true that Young arrived in Fort McMurray in an electric car.

People can be excused for believing Young’s opposition is to gasoline, but they would be wrong. Young is

opposed to the Tar Sands development because it violates First Nations treaty rights and is an enviromental nightmare.

He is saying that the Tar Sands is a project that violates First Nations treaties and the Tar Sands is causing irreparable environmental damage on a scale that is unimaginable.

He does, in fact, mention that the Harper government “only cares about money.” Young is making a specific connection to the current federal government’s handling of the economy and the environment.

He didn’t mention he was against gasoline. Everyone is aware that the Harper government has put $136 million of tax-payer dollars into advertisements that promote its Economic Action Plan, even though a recent report uncovered the fact that the promised jobs were not available, the advertisements therefore false.

The government has been re-

lentless in making a connection that economic prosperity is tied to the development of the Tar Sands so that Canada may be an energy superpower. Therefore Canadians have been led to think (and I mean led) that we can have oil and jobs, or a clean environment and no jobs.

People cannot be blamed for assuming that if there is no development of the Tar Sands then there is no gasoline to drive cars.

There is a follow-up, faulty logic that says, in order to have gasoline we need the Tar Sands, and we can quietly ignore social and legal obligations to First Nations’ treaty rights. Neil Young is merely reminding us that the Tar Sands is not about gasoline or no gasoline; it is about a broken social contract, environmental damage, and mismanagement by government.

Minister acting like paid lobbyist for mine Editor: Bill Bennett, B.C. MLA and Mining Minister, is acting more like a paid lobbyist for Taseko Mines rather than a minister and MLA responsible to the electorate.

While in Ottawa, Mr. Bennett made numerous and obvious misrepresentations of fact, such as calling the proposed open pit mine “normal.”

Actually, the project would rely on technologies that have never

Letters aLways weLcome

been used on this scale before.

It was determined by the Review Panel that “even with expensive water treatment measures, the protection of Fish Lake water quality is unlikely to succeed in the long term.” (Page nine, Executive Summary, FRPR).

Mr. Bennett also incorrectly stated that the location of the proposed tailings facility was “up slope” of Fish Lake, not upstream, where indeed it would be (Power and Politics, CBC television, Jan. 13).

If Mr. Bennett had attended the Environmental Review Panel Hearings in 2013, he would have learned that the risks and flaws reported by federal and provincial scientists, including those from those in his own ministry, seriously put to question the legitimacy of this proposal. “Abnormal” would be a more accurate description of this mining plan.

Many Cariboo region residents are disturbed by Mr. Bennett’s lobbying on behalf of a mining company of whose proposal has

been found to have serious significant impacts by two independent review panels.

It begs the question: Will Mr. Bennett’s extreme partiality again present itself during the decisionmaking process of other controversial mining proposals in B.C., such as the Ajax mine in Kamloops?

It is my opinion Mr. Bennett should resign.

NEWS Tourism operators oppose ferry cuts BC Ferries sailing reductions to save $18.9 million will go ahead largely as announced last year, with some “refining” to come after hearing public concerns, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Wednesday.

The only significant route change announced as a result of public objections is an increase of the summer sailing from Bella Coola to Bella Bella from one run a week to three.

Stone released the final report on consultation with coastal communities, confirming that despite public objections, low-utilization sailings on minor routes across the system will be stopped by April 28. Final schedules are to be released by the end of March.

Tourism operators in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast have joined the growing opposition to the cancellation of the Discovery Coast Ferry, Route 40.

“That ferry route is our lifeblood, and carries many international tourists who are attracted to British Columbia by the rugged natural environment the region has to offer,” said Petrus Rykes from the West Chilcotin Tourism Association in a joint press release Friday

Black Press photo

BC Ferries announced route cuts are going ahead this year despite opposition from several sectors, including tourism operators in the Cariboo Chilcotin, who say they will suffer business loss due to the decision. with the Bella Coola Valley Tourism Association.

“Without the Queen of Chilliwack operating, we will see millions of tourism dollars leave our economy, hurting businesses and causing unemployment.”

Rykes said the socalled cost savings in cancelling Route 40 will have a severe impact on the growing tourism economy in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region.

The Queen of Chilliwack has at least three more operational years ahead of her before a replacement ferry is

required, said Leonard Ellis from Bella Coola Valley Tourism.

“We believe this decision by BC Ferries and the Provincial government will devastate the local economy and has been poorly thought out.”

“We are urging the Minister to work with us to find a solution that will allow the Queen of Chilliwack to operate for 2014 and beyond, but on a sustainable path that will meet the Province’s financial objectives for BC Ferries, without killing our local economy,” Rykes said.

Stone said “tough

decisions” were necessary to maintain the long-term viability of the ferry service, which has seen declining ridership, rising fares and a federal and provincial subsidy that reached $200 million this year.

Stone said some routes have the option of eliminating mid-day sailings so they can retain early-morning and late evening routes used by people going to work or taking in events.

BC Ferries will meet with community representatives to examine those options, although Stone

acknowledged that union contracts restrict possible savings from splitting up the service day.

NDP ferry critic Claire Trevena said cutting mid-day sailings to save morning and evening runs isn’t much of a solution, because it shifts traffic to peak times where ferries may be overloaded.

“It’s going back to communities to say, OK, do you want to lose your left hand or your right hand,” Trevena said.

BC Ferries issued a statement saying it will announce another customer response survey next week.

The government’s consultation report has been posted online at www.coastalferriesengagement.ca.

B.C. government vows skills training Tom Fletcher Special to Tribune/Advisor In a speech from the throne that echoed Premier Christy Clark’s election campaign, the B.C. government promised Tuesday to begin a 10-year skills training plan to drive industrial development.

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read the speech in the ceremonial beginning of the B.C. legislature session.

It touched on the B.C. Liberal government’s familiar themes, including the need to train and retain citizens to fill one million jobs due to growth and baby boomer retirements in the next decade.

“British Columbians can look forward to enhancements to the Industry Training Authority, as well as the re-engineering of our secondary and post-

Premier Christy Clark took her seat Tuesday for the first time since the 2013 election, to listen to the Lieutenant Governor deliver the 2014 throne speech. secondary institutions to ensure our students have the skills for the jobs of the future,” Guichon told MLAs gathered for the first time in 2014.

Employers and job seekers will be watching for details in the provincial budget, to be presented by Finance Minister Mike de Jong on Feb. 18.

Opposition critics have focused on the

government’s reductions of skills training and the shortage of spaces and equipment for industrial training.

The speech also promises a new 10year plan for transportation, to build on major road, bridge and transit works that have become contentious in the Lower Mainland as it struggles to keep up with population growth.

In education, the government renewed Clark’s goal of a personalized education plan for each student and “an agreement to ensure a decade of labour peace in our classrooms.”

That goal comes as the government pursues an appeal of the latest court judgment in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over removal of class

size and support staff from their union contract.

Speaking to reporters after the speech, Clark emphatically denied the conclusion of a B.C. Supreme Court justice that her government engineered the 2012 teacher strike to build public support for an imposed settlement.

NDP leader Adrian Dix called the speech “particularly lacking in vision or substance,” adding that it contains nothing for B.C. residents who “don’t work in the industries of liquefied natural gas or liquor.”

In addition to touting the future benefits of LNG exports and pending liquor law reforms, the speech recounts increases in Asian trade, the ongoing “core review” to reduce provincial spending, and new union agreements that tie wage increases to an expanded economy.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Honda knows how to make a good, solid car—and for 2014—things just got a little more interesting.

Zack Spencer

Visit the 2014 Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinary Tampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive.

The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing.

Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 model. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

Looks The styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sportier look with a bit more aggression.

The most aggressive version of both

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduction of Display Audio system that is available From fuel on the EX and Touring economy to reliability, models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen resale value, cost design that lets the driver of ownership and access many functions Inside sportiness the 2014 from the radio to apps One of the reasons that Honda Civic is a good that piggyback off your the Civic is the best iPhone. (No Android apps selling car in Canada is choice yet but they are working the practical, yet sporty Zack Spencer on this.) This taps into the interior in both the sedan power of your phone, in and coupe. Many people, the big screen, with full including me, didn’t integration. I liked the speed and funcinitially like the split dash with the tion of the design but really missed a speedometer on the top and the tarotary dial to adjust the volume over a chometer on the bottom, but over time touch screen volume design. Yes, there this design has proven to be a winner. is a volume control on the steering I was wrong. The split design now wheel but one next to the radio would incorporates more information to see complete the package. without having to take your eyes off the road. The trip computer and other Drive functions like radio station information Honda has made one small change are just below the front window. In and one big change to help with fuel the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an inhouse continuously variable transmission (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design.

In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car.

The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great complement. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

Verdict Honda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice.

Channelling your inner teenager in the snow

By Alexandra Straub

Picture this: You’re a teenager with a driver’s license, your wealthy parents have left you alone for the day and there has just been a huge snowfall.

Turns out, they decided to take the SUV and the Porsche Carrera 4S is sitting all by its lonesome in the garage.

All your friends are busy so you’ll need to make your own fun today. But how?

The key to this stellar coupe, which generally remains under armoured guard, somehow surfaces.

Then you hear a voice calling your name. You look around and wonder if you’re imagining things or if the milk you drank for breakfast had expired.

You look down and the key fob and it is speaking to you. Through its German accent you decipher words like, “traction control off,” “sliding sideways,” “car control,” and the best of all, “you won’t get in trouble.”

Then giddiness overcomes your body. Your eyes widen.

Your smile is uncontrollable.

Before you know it you’re nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking

Alexandra Straub

where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car.

Life is wunderbar. The best part about this teenage dream is that it’s not a teenage dream.

It’s a reality.

For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possible thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school. The track’s location is less than a couple of hours outside of Montreal, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s, rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the allwheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the opportunity to drive all three vehicles in various parts of the facility.

Whether you are learning how to control over and understeer on the oval, or learning how to appropriately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time.

And if you spin out, you just keep going.

The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are introduced to their instructors.

Proper seating position is explained and then it’s time to hit the track.

Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together. That way, the instructor can talk to you and give you pointers while they observe what’s going on.

Sometimes you get praise.

Sometimes you get constructive criticism. It’s just part of the process.

Two major points that were stressed in any of the exercises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time.

The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and

The Porsche family. therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the manouevre you were trying to do.

Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again.

The Camp4 program originated in Finland in

Second gen Mazda3 was a zoom-zoom hit with Canadians

By Bob McHugh

Mazda3 2010 to 2013 The new generation Mazda3 launched in 2010 was an immediate hit with Canadian compact car buyers.

The car, available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback, is a nicely proportioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take.

The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was “the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.”

This generation Mazda3 initially came in three trim levels GX, GS and GT. There’s also a high-performance edition called Mazdaspeed3.

A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged engine intercooler, gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appearance.

Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body platform, combined with a sport-minded engineering theme. Its lighter and stiffer chassis has more high-strength steel and other enhancements to reduce body flex and combined with suspension changes the result is a tighter and better handling car.

The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horsepower 2.0-litre engine that provides

‘‘

My enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.

’’

a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/ highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway).

Mazda3, which was first launched in 2003, has been consistently one of the best selling cars in Canada and the Mazdaspeed3 variant typically accounts for less than 2 per cent of sales. That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history. This generation Mazdaspeed3 is a more refined high-performer.

It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbocharged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car.

Changes to its drive shafts were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was

added to the drivetrain.

Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds.

Engine output (263-horsepower) is the same as the 2009, however it provides a more progressive release of torque that peeks at 3000 rpm and 280 lb-ft is available.

Its fuel consumption rate is also faster at 11.5/8.0 L/100 km (city/highway).

Inside there’s enough room for four, maybe five, adults provided those up front are willing to share leg room.

There’s more cargo room in the hatchback, however, the added security offered by the sedan’s trunk might be preferred and used prices tend to be lower.

The only significant change

in 2011 was the inclusion of electronic stability and traction control as standard on all models. The 2012 model year brought the introduction of Mazda’s “Skyactiv” performance and fuel-saving technologies, offered initially on the mid-range GS trim line. A direct-injected 2.0L engine is mated to either a special 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. It also got a mild exterior and interior restyling job that included as updated (subdued happy-face) front grille. Mazda3 is highly rated

by Consumer Reports for dependability, offers great value for the money and can certainly be one of the better buys on the used car market. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Mazda3 (January 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 GS $10,000 to $13,000 2011 GS $12,000 to $15,000 2012 GS Sky $15,000 to $18,000 2013 GS Sky $18,000 to $21,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Mazda3 2010: Excessive heat inside the headlight housing where the Daytime Running Light bulb is attached may cause a loss of functionality. Dealers will repair as necessary.

2010: Insufficient clearance with the starter motor may eventually result in damage to an engine electrical harness and a possible short-circuit, in some vehicles.

This can then cause an engine control malfunction, poor shift quality or the engine may stall or not start. Dealers will inspect the engine harness and, if necessary, install a protector clip.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, Feb. 15 and Sunday, Feb. 16 Stampeders host Kangaroos

After a game-one loss this past Saturday in Quesnel against the Quesnel Kanagroos in game one of the Central Interior Hockey League playoff semifinals, the Williams Lake Stampeders return home to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to host game two and, if necessary, game three of the best-of-three series.

Puck drop Saturday, Feb. 15, is 7:30 p.m., followed by a 1:30 p.m. start time Sunday, if required.

Saturday, Feb. 22 Williams Lake Angie Mindus photos

Williams Lake Orange Smashing Pumpkins players gain control of the puck while facing off against the Williams Lake Red Warriors Saturday in Williams Lake Minor Hockey Novice Tournament action.

Future stars on display at novice tourney The National Hockey League stars of the future were putting their skills on display this past weekend at the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Novice Tournament Feb. 7-9.

With an Olympic-themed tournament, 10 teams took to the ice at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex beginning Friday evening.

Six local Williams Lake teams — Williams Lake Teal Steel, Williams Lake Silver, Williams Lake Red Warriors, Williams Lake Oranage Smashing Pumpkins, Williams Lake Blue Bombers and Williams Lake Yellow Killer Bees — joined two teams from Prince George, and teams from 100 Mile House and Vanderhoof for three-day event.

Under BC Hockey rules first-, second- and third-place results are not handed out at the novice level in an effort to make the game more fair and fun for young seven- and eight-year-old players starting out in the sport.

However, it’s safe to say all the Williams Lake teams put forward an exceptional effort for proud parents, coaches, family and friends.

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.

Thursday, Feb. 27 Coy Cup Volunteer Meeting

Williams Lake Silver moves the puck up-ice while Williams Lake Teal Steel gives chase during the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Novice Tournament Saturday morning.

Do you want to come watch some great hockey and volunteer your time? The Williams Lake Stampeders are hosting the Provincial Senior Men’s ‘AA’ Coy Cup Tournament this March 1115 and are hosting a very important volunteer meeting on Thursday, Feb. 27 upstairs in the old Mustangs’ office at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex beginning at 7 p.m.

The meeting will provide an opportunity for interested volunteers to ask questions and sign up for a number of volunteer positions.

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the pest management plan applies. The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to treat wood structures with pesticides (“wood preservatives”) to protect and increase their service life and ensure the reliability and safety of the electrical system. The wood structures include, poles and associated equipment and any wood structures eg. helipads, fences, sign posts, walkways and bridges.

The PMP applies to those portions of the province-wide distribution, transmission and generation system that utilizes wood poles and structures and is owned or managed by BC Hydro. The BC Hydro service area encompasses all of British Columbia.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2019.

The trade names and active ingredients of the wood preservatives proposed for use under this plan include: copper naphthenate combined with sodium fluoride, Cop R Plastic or equivalent; copper naphthenate combined with borax, CuRap 20 or equivalent; copper napthenate, Cobra Wrap, CuNap-8 or equivalent; copper hydroxide, CuBor or equivalent; sodium fluoride, Pole Wrap or equivalent; metam sodium, Guardsman Post and Pole Fumigant 42% or equivalent; disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, Tim-Bor Professional, Impel rods, GenBor RTU, Boracol or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate and boric acid in combination, CobraRods, Genics CuB or equivalent; copper hydroxide, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, zinc and boric acid, no product name; permethrin, Dragnet or equivalent; propetamphos, Catalyst or equivalent; chorpyrifos, Dursban or equivalent.

The proposed manners of applying the wood preservatives include: external bandage treatments, internal liquid, powder, foam and gel treatments, external liquid treatments (brush on), internal solid treatments (rods).

Other management methods include stubbing and replacing wood poles and when installing new poles using pre treated poles and using plastic liners.

Kangaroos take one-game lead in CIHL semifinal series Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders will need back-to-back wins this weekend in Williams Lake in order to stave off playoff elimination.

The Quesnel Kangaroos took a onegame-to-nothing, bestof-three series lead Saturday on home ice, hopping to a 7-6 victory over the Stampeders in the Central Interior Hockey League semifinal.

Quesnel netminder Ryan Manderson

played a major role in the Kangaroos’ success, turning aside 42 of 48 shots in the contest. At the other end Stampeders’ goaltender Justin Foote was less busy, stopping 22 of 29 attempts in the losing effort.

Quesnel’s Harley Gilks put the Kangaroos on the board at 6:28 of the first period, scoring his first of a three-goal and a four-point night, before Williams Lake’s Jassi Sangha evened it up at 1-1 with just over five minutes left in the

frame.

Gilks potted his second of the night moments later, and Rigby Burgart scored 30 seconds later, to give Quesnel an early 3-1 lead with time winding down in the frame.

Williams Lake, however, would send the contest into the second period tied at 3-3 after Nathan Zurak scored his first of three goals and Tyrel Lucas added a tally with one minute left.

In the second Quesnel continued to pressure the Stampeders,

scoring three unanswered goals from Justin Fulton, Gilks and Matt Stang, to go up 6-3.

Zurak would cut the deficit to one going into the third period, scoring two more goals to close out the period.

Both teams turned up their defensive efforts in the third and traded goals with Matt Powell potting the game winner for Quesnel at 1:52 of the frame.

Matt Lees added a single midway through the period in the 7-6 decision.

The East Division final and the CIHL semifinal resumes this Saturday in Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex with game two beginning at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, if required, game three will begin at 1:30 p.m.

In the West Divsion final and other CIHL semifinal the Smithers Steelheads took a 1-0 series lead over the Terrace River Kings in Terrace. The Smithers, River Kings series also resumes this Saturday in Smithers.

Nellie Kinkead (centre) celebrates her 102nd birthday in January with her family in Smithers, including daughters Marilyn Van Tol (left), and Doreen Walter. Nellie now has 20 grandchildren and 1 0 great-grandchildren.

Early Alexis Creek telephone agent Nellie Kinkead turns 102 in Smithers Diana French Special to Tribune/Advisor Nellie Kinkead’s family gathered in Smithers Saturday, Jan. 11 to celebrate her birthday.

She was 102 years old.

For many years Mrs. Kinkead was the agent and telephone operator at Alexis Creek where she was known for her dedicated service to the job and the community, and for her always pleasant manner.

The telephone/telegraph service was provided by the Dominion of Canada’s Department of Public Works when the office opened in the Chilcotin community in 1932, and Nellie was the first agent.

Along with operating the switchboard, she collected rents for the telephones in the village (there were only about eight at the beginning) and she was responsible for recording all calls received or sent outside the village.

The operator’s official job was to relay messages from Ashcroft

to Bella Coola, but Nellie took and sent messages for people who didn’t have phones and she often called around the village to locate people.

There were set hours for the service, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, but someone had to be available for emergency calls between 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.

The switchboard was located in the Kinkead home, so Nellie was really on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until she hired an assistant in 1952.

Nellie had two stepsons, and along with her telephone/telegraph duties, she raised a family of two boys and four girls.

When the girls got older, they helped with the switchboard.

Nellie’s husband Clifford was the lineman for the telegraph service and he was responsible for keeping the telephone lines intact over a large part of he Chilcotin.

Nellie was born in Brock, Sask.

Her family moved to Williams Lake when she was nine, and she attended school here.

When she was 16, she went

to Vancouver to take a job as a nanny, but when she arrived on the doorstep of the would-be employer, she was told she wasn’t needed.

She had her suitcase, and $1.

She wandered around until she found a Salvation Army facility where she was taken in and cared for.

Needless to say, she was always a staunch supporter of that institution.

She returned to Williams Lake, worked for a time at the Lakeview Hotel, then went to work for the Lees at Hanceville.

It was there she met Clifford Kinkead, who was hauling freight (with horses) to the Chilcotin from Ashcroft.

The two married in 1931, and went to live at Alexis Creek.

At the beginning, their home was short on amenities.

Nellie carried water from the nearby hotel, two buckets at a time, a daunting job in winter when the roads were icy.

In 1954, BC Telephone took over the government tele-

graph/telepone service, and the Kinkeads had a new employer.

The jobs stayed the same except that the new switchboard hours were 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., emergency service from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Cliff passed away in 1965, and Nellie retired a year later.

She was in Williams Lake for a time, then moved to Mission where she stayed until 1975.

She came back to Williams Lake for a year, then moved to Smithers where she lived in a senior’s residence.

She is now in a care home.

She is in a wheel chair now, but she never did walk, she always ran, and everyone was hard put to keep up with her.

Nellie’s oldest son, Stan, lives in Terrace, Allan in Williams Lake. Janet (MacKay) is in Maple Ridge, Joan McLennan just outside of Vernon. Doreen (Walter) lives in Smithers and Marilyn (Van Tol) in Telkwa and they both see their mother every day.

Nellie has 20 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

The event takes place Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Elks Hall.

Tickets are available in advance at Chilcotin Guns, Surplus Herby’s, Blue Mountain Gunsmithing, and from club members.

BUCKMASTER (FARWELL), JOAN E. Dec. 17, 1916 - Feb.3, 2014 It is with great sadness we announce that mother and grandmother, Joan, passed away peacefully at Nanaimo Seniors Village on February 1, 2014.

Joan was born at Hanceville, BC, to Gordon and Annie Farwell who were homesteading at Farwell Canyon. She later moved to Victoria where she attended Oak Bay High School. Moving to Duncan, she met and married Burges Buckmaster (Buck), and the couple took up residence in Victoria.

Joan was an avid gardener and bridge player, and spent many enjoyable years with Buck cruising and fishing in local waters on their pleasure boat. She took many trips back to the Chilcotin country, visiting friends, fishing the lakes, and hunting.

Joan was predeceased by her husband, Buck, in 1993, and by her brother, Gerald Farwell. She will be sadly missed by her daughter, Daphne (Don) Duddridge, by her grand-daughter, Ria, and by her many nieces and nephews. Her family are very grateful to the staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village for their incredible level of care and love for Joan over the last five years.

Flowers are gratefully declined; donations in memory may be made to a charity of choice.

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 February3rd, 2nd, Dad lostthe the Dad lost 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. He is survived by his daughters Marjorie (Brian) Ross and Caren (Todd) Pritchard. Grandchildren Allyson (Trevin) Granholm, Taylor Ross, Brendon, Sydney and Jordan Pritchard. Brothers Roy (Sylvia), Gord (Ellen), Sisters Margret Cambridge, Joan (Ernie) Pare. many Margret Cambridge, Joan (Ernie) Pare. As wellAs as well manyasbeloved belovedand nieces and nephews. nieces nephews.

We would like to thank everyone for their kind words of love and support. At Dad’s request, no service will be held. A private family interment of Mom and Dad’s ashes will be held in the spring. If desired, donations can be made, in Dads name, to the Hough Memorial Cancer Society. http://www.houghmemorial.org/ donations/ LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements.
