As the Feb. 28 deadline nears for Canada’s environment minister to issue a decision statement on whether the New Prosperity Mine is likely to cause significant adverse environmental 1effects, both sides are hopeful the decision will

land in their favour.

Former Tsilhqot’in Chief Ervin Charleyboy has been a vocal supporter of the project since 2011.

“It’s in the federal government’s hands,” Charleyboy said.

“I’m optimistic. If it’s a yes for the mine, it’s going to be a perfect opportunity for our young people.

“What kind of future are our

grandchildren going to have after logging?”

Tsilhqot’in National Government Tribal Chair Chief Joe Alphonse (TNG), said he is confident in the TNG’s strong opposition to the project.

“We’re awaiting a decision that’s going to favour our position,” Alphonse said.

“The federal government would have way too much to lose if they were to try and move forward with the project.”

The government may have political will, but they don’t have legal grounds, he said.

All sides await mine decision Continued From Page A1 Taseko’s vice-president of corporate affairs Brian Battison said the decision could be a yes, a no, or under unusual circumstances, a delay.

“I have no idea what they will possibly do,” he said. “Rather than speculate I would rather answer questions when the decision has been made.”

Patricia Spencer, a member of the Friends of Fish Lake, has been one of many non-First Nations people opposed to the mine.

“To me sometimes it feels like a popularity contest whether to protest or support the mine, but it’s about doing what’s right,”

Spencer said. “The government needs to uphold the findings of the federal independent panel. There will be other mines, but the impacts of this one are unacceptable.”

Charleyboy said he continues to advocate for the mine because of the economic benefits it will offer people living in the region.

“I meet many young First Nations who are working in mines and many others are taking the BC Aboriginal Mining Training and that’s good,” Charleyboy said.

Those young people are happy and supporting their young families, he said.

“They get paid good money, it’s better than sitting on welfare. New

Prosperity would open up a whole new opportunity.”

Alphonse, however, said if the mine is rejected then First Nations will be allowed to continue to have ceremonies and preserve the area.

“We will take comfort in knowing that we followed the mandate that was set out by our people to do what we can to preserve the land, the wildlife and the fish,” Alphonse said. “The more we can introduce our young people back into our culture, the less social issues we will have.”

Battison said if the federal government expresses a willingness for the project to proceed, it will go back to

Hats off

the provincial government for further approvals.

“They’re the ones who have the lion’s share of the regulatory jurisdiction through the mine act and the environmental act.”

Spencer added she hopes the minister will say no to the project.

“We know cabinet will want to say yes, but if the government of Canada approves it they’ve lost a lot of credibility,” she said.

“The credibility of the environmental review process will be gone.”

Of course people want economic development, however, the challenge is to find a way to move forward without sacrificing the environment, Spencer said.

Vehicle theft and mischief keep Williams Lake RCMP busy Williams Lake RCMP Detachment members responded to 75 calls for service over the weekend Feb. 15 and 16.

Calls ranged from disturbances, alcohol-related complaints, motor vehicle incidents and thefts.

Saturday, Feb. 15 At at about 8:57 a.m. police responded to a report that a white 1999 GMC Suburban had been stolen from a drive-

way overnight on Western Avenue in Williams Lake.

The vehicle was parked in the owner’s driveway at approximately 9 p.m. on Friday and then it was noticed missing in the morning at approximately 9 a.m.

The perpetrator broke the driver’s side passenger window to gain entry and then threw two child car seats on the driveway before taking the suburban.

A neighbour found the owner’s TomTom GPS unit by some community mailboxes.

Sunday, Feb. 16 At approximately 11:12 a.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a complaint of mischief at a residence on Dog Creek Rd. The owner of the residence advised that sometime between midnight and 10 a.m. on Feb. 16 the two rear tires of

a white Ford pickup were slashed in his driveway.

No suspects or witnesses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Sunday, Feb. 16 At about 2:55 p.m., Williams Lake RCMP received a break and enter in progress complaint from owners of a residence on Carson

Drive.

Witnesses stated that a male wrapped his hand in his jacket then smashed the window to a residence located in the townhouse units at 605 Carson Drive.

The male then entered the residence through the window.

Police arrived on scene and gained entry to the unit that was broken into.

A male was later taken into custody.

The matter is still under investigation.

Suspects nabbed in elementary school break in Two suspects were arrested last week after being caught inside a local elementary school at night.

According to police, Williams Lake RCMP responded to an intruder alarm at Cataline Elementary School at about 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 12.

Upon arrival the police observed that

one of the exterior doors to the school was insecure.

Police then entered the premise where they located and arrested two male suspects, aged 17 and 20 years old, for breaking in and entering the building.

Both suspects were released from custody to appear in court at a later date.

Accessibility committee surveys wheelchair taxi option Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The city’s accessibility committee continues to push for improvements in Williams Lake.

During a presentation to council committee chair George Atamanenko outlined the group’s activities in 2013.

One of the highlights was a meeting with the Williams Lake Business Improvement Association, where the committee encouraged building owners and leasees to upgrade older buildings, he said.

“We started about two years ago to look at the existing parking plan,” Atamanenko said. “We have pushed for more parking spaces and come up with a few extra. It’s ongoing, it’s not as if the parking spaces are fixed.”

Making accessible housing visible in the community is important

2014 CONSTRUCTION SEASON CONTRACTORS & EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Sam Ketcham Pool Referendum Question of the Week Can the current main pool tank just be repaired rather than replaced?

The main pool tank has structural damage in several key areas, including the expansion joints and underground piping. There is a high risk that it will fail completely. The main pool tank was closed for seven weeks in 2011 due to an underground pipe bursting and expansion joint leakage, resulting in huge water loss beneath the main tank. During the repairs, structural damage was confirmed by engineers. A temporary repair was put in place until the tank could be replaced and it is not expected this repair will last much longer, nor can a similar temporary repair be done again. The tank is still leaking a significant amount of water each day, a situation that cannot continue indefinitely.

The City of Williams Lake requires contractors and equipment for the 2014 construction season. Consideration for employment will be given to contractors with civil construction and underground utility experience. Equipment charge out rates will be based on the 2013-2014 Equipment Rental Rate Guide (Blue Book) which is published annually by the BC Road Builders & Heavy Construction Association.

Contractors who are interested in registering with the City will be required to fill out a registration form. For further details, and how to obtain a registration form, please contact the City of Williams Lake Municipal Services Department at 250-392-2311.

Survey Input Appreciated Please take a moment to fill out the Accessibility Advisory Committee’s wheelchair accessible taxi survey. Your input is valuable and appreciated. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WLtaxisurvey Hard copies are also available at City Hall and the Complex until March 31st, 2014.

Questions to ponder

Supporting youth sports

INTERSECTION ACCIDENT SCENE

L

ocally, the Senior’s Activity Centre received $20,000. from the province plus other donations to gussy up the centre’s kitchen. That’s the good news.

The not so good news is that two thirds of Cariboo Lodge still sits empty.

I understand the oldest part of the building has had it, the middle is so so, and the currently occupied part is OK. A housing study suggested some ideas for the site, but nothing is happening because the city (which owns the property) has been so far unsuccessful in finding funding for a feasibility/business French plan. Question.

Connection If the city had Diana French $40,000 for consultants to come up with a new “brand” nobody wanted, why can’t it find a few dollars to move forward on the lodge property? *** The provincial government wants to have temporary foreign workers fill immediate labour needs in the natural gas industry. According to the Alaska News, Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, is in “ongoing discussions” with the federal government to ensure our immigration system matches our needs. Prince George-Peace River MP Bob Zimmer agrees. Question. What about training B.C. workers? *** In Ottawa, the senate situation gets worse.

Liberal senators won’t suddenly become independents just because Justin Trudeau says so, but obviously too many political appointees aren’t up to the job. The RCMP have charged Liberal Senator Mac Harb and former Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau with fraud and breach of trust. Harb resigned and is collecting a $67,600. a year pension. Question. When will it stop? *** In the meanest sports story of the week, Toronto Sun writer Steve Simmons shrieked that Patrick Chan “didn’t win the silver, he lost the gold” at the Olympics and he went on to vilify Chan for the “loss.” Question.

Why dump on a guy while he’s down? Silver’s not that bad.

A motor vehicle incident Tuesday at the Carson Drive and Highway 97 intersection involving a southbound Ford F-150 pickup and an SUV travelling through to Carson from Broadway Avenue North caused minor injuries to the driver of the SUV, who was treated by paramedics on scene.

Charges to the pickup driver are pending for failing to stop at a red light.

Our Viewpoint

Communities to fund SD 27 shortfalls School District 27 trustees are proposing to increase fees and change policy for community use of schools.

If approved, that means the district would be downloading yet more costs onto already overburdened, overtaxed families.

We should all stand up and fight against this one.

Schools, as we all heard during the consultation process on school closures, are the heart of our communities.

Trying to turn a profit on that “heart” is just plain wrong.

The local school district, although clearly struggling to find ways to deliver services under ever-tightening budget constraints, has gone down the wrong path here.

Community use fees, no matter how much you raise them, are simply a drop in the bucket compared to costs that will be coming down the pike from the recent Supreme Court ruling on class size as well as teacher’s raises and raises for

support staff.

Thankfully, Williams Lake city council seems to be onboard with the community’s concern on this issue and has stepped up to the plate.

Council planned to discuss the problem at its committee of the whole meeting last night (Tuesday, Feb. 18) and is also drafting a formal letter asking the board to extend its consultation period to allow for more dialogue.

One would think that using the school during the evenings would not pose much of an added burden to the school district budget.

Schools need to be heated no matter what day of the week it is and lights are usually on for the janitors when they are working.

We already have a lack of facilities in Williams Lake, do we really need to short change ourselves even more?

Stop the madness. Say no to these increases.

eeping youth active and healthy through organized sport not only helps build better and stronger communities, but it reduces problems for youth such as future health problems. However, because of financial barriers, or other factors some kids don’t get the same opportunity to participate in organized sport as others.

That is why I am so pleased to write this column to commend the work of the volunteers and organizers of the Williams Lake KidSport chapter for their efMLA forts to keep Musings youth right here in our commuDonna Barnett nity healthy and active.

KidSport is a charity that provides grants and financial assistance to families and their motto says it best, “So all kids can play!” They make such a difference helping young people who may not have the opportunity to play in the sports they love most.

Since the chapter was started seven years ago, they have raised over $100,000 and an average of 100 children in the Williams Lake region get the opportunity to play organized sports as a result of the efforts of these fantastic volunteers.

Every year the chapter raises money from the KidSport Classic run, which will be held this year on Sunday, June 22, 2014. The chapter has always had great support from the business and corporate community and the race last year had more than 230 participants. Application forms for this year’s race are available online at activewilliamslake.com.

Our government is committed to help build healthy and vibrant communities throughout the province, and right here in the Cariboo.

We will continue to make investments in youth sport through community grants and our province-wide Healthy Families BC initiative towards by informing families how to make health conscious decisions on a daily basis.

For more information about how you and your family can make healthy choices please visit healthyfamiliesbc.ca.

More Viewpoints Cariboo solution to mine Question of the week Editor: Government ministers, MPs, local residents, First Nations and environmentalists have all run to Ottawa to plead their case on the New Prosperity mine project.

The results of the government panel obviously don’t sit well with those supporting the project or those opposed wanting to make sure the federal government applies the panel’s findings to the final decision.

Those writing letters and lobbying on both sides believe they are right and government should

pay them heed, which government will. But in this case, unless there’s a workable solution presented, the result will have a winner and a loser.

For the Cariboo that’s not the best solution to resolve this long standing issue.

In the past we have learned if you ask government or allow them to make the end decision, you’re not going to be happy with the result.

Hence just saying no on either side of the issue is not the practical solution and undermines any opportunities to achieve a more

beneficial agreement that represents your interests and concerns.

It’s a win-win for everyone when all governments agree and negotiate our own arrangement because it’s a solution that comes from a broad sector of the people and region.

Time is short but it’s not too late to embrace a negotiated proposal, although never perfect it can and has worked for everyone’s benefit in the past.

Terry Tate Williams Lake

Silent support for mine should speak up Editor: I’m always interested to read about what is happening with the New Prosperity Mine proposal.

I don’t agree with your recent article, Delegation Heads East (Williams Lake Tribune, Feb. 5, page A1.)

If the “business community” is the “silent supporter” of the mine then why do they not identify themselves?

Surely if they paid for a trip on their own they can stand up and be counted.

The Tribune, with all sense of balanced reporting, should be listing the businesses involved.

Mayor Cook again says she supposedly represents Williams Lake but in reality she only stands up for her values and not those of the many residents who have mine concerns or may be in opposition.

You can’t “represent” Williams Lake when you don’t have all of the people behind you in your corner.

What about Chamber members who may oppose the mine?

Don’t they count? Ms. Cook you are mayor not supreme dictator.

Inside this Tribune issue are comments noting Minister Bill Bennett and his statements about the mine.

Bennett has been parroting the Premier regularly and selling her misinformation as well.

I don’t for one minute believe the nature of the article and the “glowing” responses received.

How about a list of the “silent” businesses and maybe answer the question of why they are silent?

Reminds me of government procedures.

When I’m shopping in Williams Lake I’d like to know which of the “silent” businesses I’m spending money at.

Isn’t that fair and balanced?

Canadian laws need to protect young children Editor: In November, the Toronto Police Services announced the results of Project Spade, a threeyear international investigation involving Brian Way, a 42-yearold man making and distributing child pornography videos and images over the internet.

My heart jumped for joy and my skinned boiled all at once when I heard the news that 386 children have been rescued from child exploitation and 341 people have been arrested around the world in more than 50 countries, 24 children rescued in Can-

Letters aLways weLcome

ada.

I commend the Toronto police department for their commitment and hard work to end this global pandemic of child exploitation.

I know how difficult these investigations must be for the officers as it takes an emotional toll on their lives.

As an overcomer of childhood sexual abuse, I have learned that trafficking, prostitution, strip clubs and pornography are all interconnected.

Unless we address each issue and particular the demand that drives them we won’t solve the

problem.

I believe that Canada needs to take the lead to protect our children and our youth from this predatory industry.

Research has revealed over and over again the harm that pornography has and the way it shapes behaviour and attitudes of children and youth.

Recently in our news Canada’s prostitution laws have been struck down as unconstitutional.

If you are like me you know how harmful this industry is to women and young girls and it needs to be eliminated because it dehumanizes and degrades hu-

mans and reduces them to commodity to be bought and sold.

I’d like to see Canada bring in as law the “Nordic Model.”

Prostitution is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, but legalization and decriminalization is not the answer.

Please write your concerns to our MP, Prime Minister and Minister of Justice.

Petitions are around town please sign them and let’s send a strong message to Ottawa that our laws need to be changed.

Horsefly roundtable meets Thursday The current liability insurance is not adequate regarding falling tree branches, etc.

Some repairs have been made to the Salmon Walk including the boardwalk through the riparian area, and the addition of two trail gates and diversion logs to prevent access by dirt bikers.

Woodjam field work was the first step in making a significant impact on fish production. During the channel change the existing population of wild fish were trapped and moved to a different location. The fish count included Chinook, Coho, Rainbow and other species.

Hillaby was surprised at the high numbers of Rainbow trout present, which bodes well for possible projects on riparian improvements with Freshwater Fisheries B.C. It was noted that

Bruce MacLeod Special to Tribune/Advisor The Horsefly River Roundtable will hold its annual general meeting Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Horsefly library.

At the January meeting it was decided that the Horsefly River Salmon Walk information pamphlet will be reprinted and available at the Horsefly museum.

Steve Hocquard is putting together a power point presentation on repairs made in the Woodjam Creek.

Hocquard and Judy Hillaby, Department of Fisheries and Oceans representative, are researching design options for a permanent outhouse at the campground across the bridge in Horsefly.

It is time to renew the Roundtable’s lease with DFO for the Horsefly spawning channel area.

a railing at the channel diversion site was not secure and needed some repairs.

Stems for riparian plantings along the new Woodjam Creek channel were provided

by Scout Island Nature Centre’s Jeremy Elwick and Callie Borkowski.

Frank Wijma of Horsefly Service kept alder shoots in his greenhouse to plant.

A funding proposal to complete the Woodjam danger tree project along the channel and in the campground has been applied for under the auspices of the Fraser Basin council.

The Roundtable has funding from the Pacific Salmon foundation to cover restoration work and equipment. Diligent folk are working on securing funds for co-ordinating the project.

Linda Bartsch tendered the society’s financial report as well as her notice to retire

due to commitments with 4-H and volunteer fire department.

Thank-you Linda!

We would like to have the NSTC give a short presentation on the current First Nation Fisheries program.

Judy Hillaby led a discussion on the Environmental Farm Plan Group application option.

Cathy Mumford is the Regional Farm Plan advisor for our area and will give a presentation at the March 20 meeting starting at 7 p.m. in the Horsefly Library.

The Roundtable would need at least 10 agricultural businesses on board to get something going in our area.

A committee has been struck to organize a full proposal and write a project scope so land owners are completely informed of their options for assistance.

NEWS Health centre seeks major sponsor Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The new Thompson Rivers University Health Centre is looking for one special corporate sponsor to help continue its success well into the future.

“This corporate partner would get a tax write off and their name on the centre along with the tons of advertising that goes with the name,” says Rhonda McCreight, TRU’s nursing program co-ordinator in Williams Lake.

She says the community has been very generous with its donations to get the centre up and running and now they are looking for a major corporate donor who would be willing to contribute $10,000. a year for the next 10 years in exchange for having their name on the centre.

The health centre opened in mid-October in partnership with TRU and Interior Health, and with the help of community donations. The centre is unique in B.C. as the only university-based health centre that is open to the public.

The health centre is operated by family nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle, who provides medical care to the public by appointment, conducts outreach workshops and talks on various health issues for the public, and helps

Gaeil Farrar photo

TRU nursing program co-ordinator Rhonda McCreight (left) gets an ear checked by nurse practitioner Sandi Lachapelle. to provide practical clinical experience for students in TRU’s registered and practical nursing programs.

McCreight says Lachapelle’s wages and benefits are funded by Interior Health, and overhead costs are funded by TRU and through public donations.

These overhead costs include the space provided by TRU for the centre, heat, light, medical equipment and supplies, plus the cost of the medical receptionist.

One of the bigger needs that a major corporate sponsor could help to supply is the purchase of an electronic medical records system that will cost $4,300. for the initial set up and then $380 per month in operating costs.

As it is now, Mc-

Creight says the centre communicates with family doctors by fax which is not ideal.

Some of the outstanding equipment needs also include a pulse oximeter, glucose monitor, vital signs monitor, digital baby scale, plus the ongoing need for medical supplies such as bandages.

Since they opened in September Lachapelle says clinical visits by the public, and TRU students and staff have risen to between 12 and 15 people per day, which is pretty much the maximum number of people she can accommodate alone, given her other responsibilities.

Eventually, she says it would be good to have two nurse practitioners, each with their own specialty. That way when one practitioner is busy hosting

a health workshop or talk, the other would be available to receive patient visits.

McCreight notes that TRU has set up an on-line donation system for the centre along with a new Facebook page to provide information on health issues and update the public on times the centre has available for clinical visits.

Appointments are required by calling the centre at 250-3928033. The centre is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed for lunch).

Over the coming months she notes there will also be a space on the centre’s wall dedicated to honouring all those who have donated and will donate to the centre in future.

“It has been such a successful innovative proposal built on community partnerships and that’s the way it should continue,” McCreight says.

Some of the donations which have helped to establish the centre include $3,700. from the Williams Lake and District

Credit Union for medical supplies such as thermometers, blood pressure equipment, and a special refrigerator with battery backup for vaccines in case of power outages.

The Child Development Centre donated the examination table; the Boys and Girls Club shares its sexual health teaching kit; and Interior Health donated items such as chairs and a manual baby weighing table.

Empty Bowls a huge success Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Thanks to the generosity of local artists and businesses the Cariboo Potters Guild’s Empty Bowls event is expected to produce a substantial contribution to the Salvation Army food bank in Williams Lake.

The final figures after costs are not in yet, but potter Jude Prevost says that more than 250 bowls of soup were sold at the event held Friday at the Gibraltar Room.

At an average of $15 a bowl that amounts to about $3,750. before expenses.

“The auction did over $1,000, so it was well worth the effort,” Prevost says. “Donations from the potters, artists, spinners and weavers and Bee Happy Honey were awesome for that.”

Your Chamber of Commerce; Stengthening Business... Building Communities!

B.C. celebrates local chambers of commerce VICTORIA - Feb. 17-21, 2014, has been proclaimed Chamber of Commerce Week in B.C. The week has been set aside to recognize the province’s more than 125 chambers of commerce for the work they do yearround. This year’s theme, Leadership in Action, celebrates the leadership that chambers demonstrate in their local communities.

Representing more than 36,000 businesses throughout the province, B.C. chambers of commerce and their influential network are a true voice for B.C.’s business community. They help businesses develop and grow, and by giving businesses the support they need, B.C.’s chambers help to advance economic development and job creation in our province.

Representing the vast majority of local chambers, the BC Chamber of Commerce has been a key partner in working with the province to achieve the goal of making British Columbia the most business-friendly jurisdiction in Canada.

“It’s hard to say enough about the impact of local chambers throughout British Columbia,” says John WInter, President and CEO, BC Chamber of Commerce.

These organizations are at the frontlines of business advocacy in their communities. They are leaders, innovators and voices for positive change.

Chamber Week celebrates the vision, hard work and can-do spirit that our chambers bring to British Columbia.”

WLCC general meetings are a great place to connect with businesses In the past year, the Province has worked closely with the BC Chamber of Commerce on one of governments most important initiatives for small business: the BC Small Business Accord.

Introduced almost a year ago, the B.C. Small Business Accord recognizes small business as a key driver of job creation and economic growth in B.C. The BC Chamber of Commerce also has been consistent in delivering the message to government that red tape is one of the biggest burdens business owners face. Recently the chamber led the engagement between Multi-Material British

Columbia (MMBC) and the business community to present a policy to government intended to reduce the red tape for small businesses impacted by a new recycling program which shifts costs from B.C. taxpayers to industry.

In response, British Columbia is leading the country in the fight against red tape. Government has reduced regulatory requirements by over 42 per cent since 2001, and has committed to holding the line right through to 2015.

B.C.’s chamber network has been a key partner in the success of the Mobile Business Licence program, which is now operating in 69 communities around the

province.

The program allows mobile businesses such as contractors and caterers, to operate across participating municipalities and regional districts with one additional business licence, as opposed to purchasing a business licence for each community in which they operate. This streamlines and simplifies the licensing process, reduces costs and makes it easier to do business.

B.C.’s chambers play a significant role in building links in their business communities. Their key role is business advocacy: encouraging policies that support businesses and economic development throughout the province.

Artist shares her creative search Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Artist Cat Fink has spent a good deal of her artistic career cracking open her own avenue to creativity which she exuberantly shares with smiles and laughter.

She helps others to find their creative way both as a teacher for School District 27, and as a workshop leader.

She will be teaching a creative art course for teachers at this Friday’s professional development day.

She has also taught courses for the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society on building an artist’s portfolio and creating artist grant proposals and serves as a director on the society’s board.

Last year Fink also taught an eight-week course at TRU called Cracking Open Your Creativity.

Her willingness to delve deep into her own psyche to create art is clearly evident in her show at the Station House Gallery this month called Coyotes, Cheshires, Angels, and Other Complications.

A mixed media collection with lots of subtle mixed messages, Fink has used pastels, charcoal, graphite, coloured pencils, and acrylic paints on watercolour and printer’s paper to create the collection. And she writes the original texts that appear on her drawings.

Over the years Fink has spent considerable effort finding ways to express her artistic vision, including returning to art school at age 37.

In her artist’s biography Fink says her inspiration and subject choices grow from questions about her life and experiences; from her Tibetan Buddhist practice; and from her multi-centred family heritage of Scandinavian, French Canadian, and Métis.

She is also inspired by one of her heroes, Albert Einstein, who asked if we live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe.

“Well, I believe in Coyote Tricksters (fun), Cheshire Cats (wise play), Angels (love and spirit),” Fink says in her artists statement.

“Yes, I believe in a friendly universe. Not only believe it. I choose it. I choose fun, wisdom, play, love, spirit. That’s my Trickster recipe for life.”

She says the coyote started appearing in her art when she saw them while living in the Chilcotin for a while.

“Coyote is the Trickster I know best,” Fink writes. “In her stories she can be subtle and surprising, teasing and outrageous, serious and utterly compassionate, a ma-

community Nancy Morrow birthday a surprise Fay Buchanan Special to Tribune/Advisor Nancy Morrow of Miocene was completely surprised last month when she came home to find her living room filled with family and friends.

They were there to honour a special lady with a surprise party on the occasion of her 85th birthday, Saturday, Jan. 25.

Conversations could be heard about many stories over a pot luck meal attended by about 40 friends and family who braved cold temperatures to

be there.

The well wishers brought out a big birthday cake with a photograph of Nancy with some of her hunting trophies that decorated the cake.

Nancy has ranched at Miocene for the past 47 years with her husband Merv.

She came to the Cariboo from the Keremeos area in 1965 to work for ranchers Bordie and Lou Felker at the 115 Mile Ranch near Lac La Hache.

She worked on various other ranches around the region for a few years, then moved

back to the Okanagan for a while.

But she soon returned to the Cariboo where she met and married Merv.

She says the Cariboo is home as it grows on you.

In addition to ranching, Nancy is an avid hunter and fisherman.

About two years ago Nancy was injured in a very serious ATV accident while checking on her cows.

She is working on a full recovery so that she can get outside fishing and hunting this summer and fall with her grandchildren.

Used book sale in progress Photo submitted

In addition to being a dedicated rancher at Miocene Nancy Morrow is an avid hunter and fisherwoman. This picture of her appeared on her 80th birthday cake.

BOOKS

Your Preschooler and… Books Helping your child learn to enjoy books is crucial.

There is a strong link between what preschoolers know about books, words, sounds and letters and their readiness for school. At three years old, your child will typically have an increasing interest in books and the written word. Preschoolers need to be encouraged to love books. You should enjoy sharing books with your child, but don’t try to teach reading at age three.

Some children will learn naturally on their own, but most children won’t start actual reading until they are in Kindergarten or Grade 1. Make sure your child doesn’t get frustrated. Encourage questions and use humour. Over time, encourage your preschooler to help tell the stories in books, particularly with favourite ones. Read for fun, with your child and on your own.

HUGE Age-friendly grant used to improve seniors’ activity centre kitchen A $20,000 provincial Age Friendly grant the City of Williams Lake applied for has been used to renovate the kitchen at the Seniors’ Activity Centre, as well as provide seniors with new skills and opportunities to socialize.

The grant application was prepared by City Manger of Active Living Deborah Radolla and Recreation Coordinator Denise Skarra. Previous Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan announced the successful awarding of funds in January 2013.

The Seniors’ Activity Centre kitchen, formerly crowded and inefficient, has now been completely renovated. The funds from this grant enabled the Seniors Citizens Activity Centre to leverage additional funds, which allowed them to make more changes. The Lions and Lioness Clubs, and the Old Age Pensioners Organization collaboratively raised money and in-kind donations to contribute to the renovation. Centre members also donated to the project.

Seniors’ Activity Centre staff consulted with a professional chef to design the flow of the kitchen.

Work included replacement of a small island and a large workstation with a flowing workstation to make it easier for seniors to prepare, cook, and clean up. An old electric cooktop was removed, a wall oven was replaced, a dishwasher was raised to ease loading and unloading, and a vegetable sink was installed. New flooring and fresh paint completed the renovation.

A portion of the grant was used to offer the Food Safe Level One course through Thompson Rivers University, and provide a Meals to Go program. Most of the Centre’s volunteers completed the Food Safe Level One course.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Set aside a special time each day to read to your child. Pick a special spot in your home where it is quiet and you and your preschooler are comfortable.

2. When sharing books, ask questions about the pictures: “Where do you think the woman is going?”

Pause to discuss the meanings of new words.

3. Snuggle with your preschooler while you read. By feeling safe and nurtured, your child will learn more easily.

4. Encourage your child to select and look at books on their own. Sit down beside your child and read your own book to show that books are enjoyable.

5. Encourage repetition. There will be favourite books your child will want to look at over and over again.

Being familiar with words and letters helps children learn.

6. Get your preschooler a library card. Go to the library regularly and explore the children’s section together. Encourage your child to choose books to take out.

7. Plan a book exchange party. Invite your child’s friends and their parents over and ask them to bring fi ve books they want to trade. It’s a good way to have different books at home without spending too much.

8. Introduce books into your day-to-day activities.

Have a reading picnic, play dress up and act out a book, or read your recipe out loud as you cook or prepare food with your child.

9. Share books that show people of different cultures, genders, ages and abilities.

Film night for International Women’s Day The Women’s Contact Society will be celebrating International Women’s Day with a film, discussion and dessert night on women in leadership.

The documentary film Miss Representation will be shown followed by discussion.

The documentary exposes how mainstream media contributes to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence in America, says events co-ordinator Ashlee Turatus.

“We will be exploring how women and girls are portrayed in media and how dif-

ficult it is for them to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself,” Turatus says.

Turatus says the discussion panel will be comprised of a variety of women in the community, some with positions of power in their respective fields.

“We will also have a student with the junior council program at city hall,” Turatus says.

The event takes place Saturday, March 8 in the TRU cafeteria starting at 5:30 p.m.

While the full discussion panel is not confirmed yet, Turatus

says those confirmed include Katherine Gizikoff of Taseko Mines; Anne Smith, CEO, Axis Family Resources; and Tamara Garreau, from Cariboo Friendship’s Children Who Witness Abuse program.

Nancy Gale, Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre executive director will be the moderator.

Men and women are invited to attend. Seating is limited so attendance is first come first serve. Desserts will be provided by Dream Boat Cafe.

Blue Fins host largest ever home meet It was the largest Williams Lake Blue Fins’ swim meet in history as 129 swimmers invaded the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool over the weekend for Frost Fest 2014.

Fifty-five Blue Fins and swimmers from Kamloops, Quesnel and Prince George helped achieve the feat.

Head coach Chad Webb said for 17 of the club’s swimmers, who he added all made big splashes, it was their very first time competing in a swim meet.

“The whole swim club and some of the community came together in running a very impressive meet that the out-of-town clubs commented on repeatedly,” Webb said.

The meet was a chance to highlight the club’s younger swimmers while still giving the older athletes a chance to race in preparation for a few upcoming meets.

“Many swimmers achieved ‘A’ regional standards and some were very close to ‘AA’ provincial times,” he said.

Keanna Saunders, Chase Stewart, Trayden Stewart, Daniel Rich, Liam McCreight, Landon Christensen, Gracie Frost and Claire Brown all inched their way closer to ‘AA’ times and are working to achieve these for the long course season, he added.

Leif Brandson managed to clinch three ‘AA’ provincial times and qualify with the rest of the ‘AA’ team. David Russell, Kara Zavitz, Ashley Beauchamp, Kelsey Blockland, Chloe Sylvain, Danika Robson and Geneva Gordon will be joined by Brandson as they make their way to Chilliwack in two short weeks.

Webb said all of the club’s coaches were very impressed with the swimmers as some competed in more than 10 events in the two-

For the third straight year the Williams Lake Stampeders and the Smithers Steelheads will lock horns in the final of the Central Interior Hockey League playoffs.

The Stampeders needed two back-toback wins last weekend in the semifinal against the Quesnel Kangaroos to keep their Sullivan Motor Products (SMP) Cup hopes alive and did just that, putting together two solid outings in front of boisterous crowds both Saturday and Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

Smithers, last year’s SMP Cup champions, needed just two games to dispose of the Terrace River Kings, winning 8-2 and 4-1, respectively.

Williams Lake, meanwhile, picked up a 7-3 win Saturday and a 7-2 decision Sunday to advance to the final over the Kangaroos.

Both teams kept the score close Saturday until the third period, when the Stampeders opened the flood gates on Quesnel netminder Ryan Manderson.

sports Rankin first at New Orleans marathon Williams Lake marathon runner Leo Rankin rocked and rolled his way to a firstplace finish in his age class at a major U.S. marathon on Feb. 2.

He completed the New Orleans Rock and Roll Marathon, running in the 60-64 yearold division, in a time of three hours, 28 minutes and 57 seconds.

Rankin finished 167th in a field of 2,749 runners (1,412 men) and was the fourth Canadian man to finish.

“Conditions during the race were excellent for a good performance in New Orleans with cloud, fog, light mist and relatively cool weather,” Rankin said.

He added the course was flat and fast enough for him to make the best of his opportunities, and the music and crowd support along the course kept up his spirits.

The win continues Rankin’s streak of five

marathons in a row dating back to January of 2013, where he placed in the top three in his age class.

In 2013 Rankin ran marathons in Galveston, Texas (first), Jacksonville, Florida (second), Atlanta, Georgia (third) and Calgary, Alberta (third).

Rankin said he had planned to run another marathon or two in 2013 but an ankle sprain he sustained while competing in the BC Seniors Games forced him to take a hiatus in order to recover properly, but noted he tentatively plans to enter and run the BMO Vancouver Marathon in May. The Williams Lake Road Runners run every Sunday at 9 a.m. if anyone is interesting in running with the group.

The runners meet in the front parking lot at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Runners of all abilities and speeds are welcome.

CDC to auction Heritage CAHA playoffs set for this weekend Classic tickets The Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association is seeking bids this week for a silent auction that could land you two sets of two tickets to the 2014 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic March 2 at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver.

The outdoor game, which will house upwards of 50,000 people, will feature the host Vancouver Canucks taking on the Ottawa Senators.

The starting bid is $1, where

Williams Lake tier two hockey teams will be looking to follow in the footsteps of the bantam female Timberwolves this weekend when they attempt to qualify for their respective BC Hockey Championships.

The Bantam Female Timberwolves qualified last weekend after beating Prince George in two straight games.

This weekend, Williams Lake’s peewee, bantam and midget boys teams will be in action at the Cariboo Memorial

the auction currently sits, with the bidding slated to close Friday, Feb. 21 at 4 p.m. The winner will be announced by 4:30 p.m. that same day.

The tickets are in section 226, rows GG and HH, right behind the Ottawa goal.

All proceeds from the silent auction go to the CCCDCA and bids can be placed at the CDC front desk at 690 Second Ave. North, or by calling 250-3924481.

Minor fastball association to swing into season The Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association, which was in danger of not having a season this spring due to a lack of volunteer support in multiple divisions, will run this year.

Michele Tenning, president of the WLMFA, said volunteers have stepped up to the table to take over the necessary divisions and, in

turn, the association and its players will host a pair of upcoming registration sessions.

The first goes March 29 and the second goes April 12. Both will be held at the Williams Lake Walmart and will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on the WLMFA visit the association’s Facebook page by searching for

the ‘Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association.’

Stick league curlers to host social Thursday The Williams Lake Stick League curlers are hosting an afternoon social this Thursday, Feb. 20, at the Williams Lake Curling Club.

Everyone is welcome, and no curling experience is required,

Make cash not trash!

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

7-passenger SUV. Granted, the third row is tight but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers.

Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better.

Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability.

As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank.

On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence.

Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing.

The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Toyota unveils powerful vision infrastructure by picking up and providing a wide variety of advanced safety information.

The FV2 embodies Toyota’s vision for an ever-developing driver-vehicle relationship by nurturing a bond between human and vehicle.

Through an augmented reality display on the windshield, and by incorporating innovative Toyota technology, the FV2 and its driver are always in sync.

Voice an image recognition technologies are used to determine the driver’s mood, and in response, the body colour and exterior display can be changed at will.

Destinations can even be suggested based on accumulated driving history.

Toyota has created an exclusive smartphone application that enables users to experience the Toyota FV2 and can be downloaded free of charge from the AppStore or GooglePlay.

Canadian International Auto Show visitors can see the FV2 in the Toyota display area, which is located in the South Building at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The auto show runs Feb. 14-23.

These clowns also do not seem to care if traffic is backed up behind them for blocks; they seem to think their time is more important.

This is a car that adopts a human-like interface — connecting both physically and emotionally with its driver — offering a mobility experience like nothing we have ever seen in today’s world.

It’s nothing less than the future of personal transportation, and it’s the featured attraction at the Toyota booth at this year’s Canadian International Auto Show (CIAS) being held in Toronto, Ont., this week.

“The FV2 is a concept car that connects with people through the body and the heart,” said Seiji Ichii, president and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc. “It proposes a form of personal mobility that will serve a major role in Toyota’s vision for the future of mobility, designed for the digital generation of connected consumers.”

Using advance design innovations, rather than using a steering wheel, the FV2 is operated by the driver’s body shifting forward and back, as well as to the left and right.

And by using intelligent transport system technology, the car can connect with other vehicles in its immediate surrounding area, as well as traffic

Adventures in leaving Detroit and trusting your GPS

By Alexandra Straub

The digital road sign above warned: “Changing Roads Ahead. Do not rely solely on GPS.” I felt like it was speaking directly to me as I had suffered anxiety ever since Driveway editor Keith Morgan climbed into the Jeep Cherokee and we left downtown Detroit, heading north to Toronto.

North, ahem, yes. The tunnel to Canada was a stone’s throw away from our launch point.

I was thinking it would route me the same way I got down to Motown, via Windsor and through the tunnel.

Why the GPS didn’t? – I’m not sure. Clearly it knew something we didn’t.

Needless to say, the mechanical woman’s voice echoing through the premium speakers certainly did give us a scenic tour of the area. And by scenic I mean, she guided us through some rather dodgy areas, characterized by poorly maintained roads, broken down buildings and dejected looking people.

After the excitement of the 2014 North American International Auto Show, I was looking forward to the long and painfully boring drive back. (That’s before Keith hitched a ride, honest.) My wish was not yet coming true.

‘‘

’’

Alexandra Straub

Finally, we were on some sort of highway. But no signs to a border popped up for miles and miles. We even pulled over a couple of times in the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited to check our smartphones to see if we were heading in the right direction.

We were, but I guess I was just looking for a sign. A sign that said “Canada” on it.

But no, we got this instead: “State Prison Nearby. Do NOT Pick Up Hitchhikers.”

Gulp.

Keith and I looked over at each other and laughed nervously.

Oh gosh, what have we gotten ourselves into? – Regardless, we were in it together so it was bound to

be eventful.

I forgot to mention, my fuel was getting low, too, and I had a flight to catch out of Pearson. No need to panic, I think.

When you’re in these kinds of situations, you say things that you normally wouldn’t say.

“I will be so happy when we are back in Ontario,” is a phrase not often uttered by a B.C. resident. But it fell from my lips.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

The one thing that remained steadfast and calm throughout the craziness was the Jeep Cherokee.

The leather-trimmed seats were plush and comfortable to sit in for hours on end.

When I started veering off the straight and narrow – aka out of my lane – the lane departure warning would gently lead me back into place.

And since it was frigid outside – Ontario and Michigan in January is anything but tropical – features like a remote starter, heated seats, a heated steering wheel and dual climate zone controls keep occupants toasty warm.

Not to mention there was a generous amount of power being delivered from its 3.2L, Pentastar V6 engine, which is rated at 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. It’s then linked to a 9-speed automatic

transmission.

And with 4x4 capabilities, I was ready to brave the winter conditions, on bare roads or not.

Luckily, it was a beautiful day, with few clouds in the sky and clear roads.

Things were looking good.

Then it happened. A sign. A sign to Canada nonetheless.

Looks like we’d been routed through Sarnia. I was doing a little happy dance on the inside.

Did I doubt the GPS’s ability to lead? I sure did.

Then again, it’s not out of my character to question authority. As we handed the CBSA our passports, all I could think about was finding a fuel station before we got stranded.

And yes, I was very happy to be in Ontario. But I’d be happier when I knew I was on a plane to Vancouver. Yet, I was thoroughly enjoying my time in the Cherokee, quirky styling and anxiety aside.

It had an ability to somewhat calm my woes due to its temperate nature.

The quiet cabin allowed for wonderful conversations, whether it was with myself, with the GPS or with Keith.

In addition, I managed to learn a lot from road signs. I will not wholeheartedly rely on the GPS and will not pick up hitchhikers in Michigan.
