presented their final arguments.

Truscott said he will reserve judgement to review the evidence and the law, and set Jan. 5, 2015 to meet with the lawyers to fix a date for him to deliver his judgement in the case.

Gentles, 30, is charged with dangerous driving causing the death of Rayel MacDonald, dangerous driving causing bodily harm to Alysha Mullet, impaired driving causing an accident resulting in death, impaired driving causing

bodily harm, causing an accident resulting in death, causing an accident resulting in bodily harm and failure to stop at an accident.

No injuries in tanker incident

Crews attend the scene of a single-vehicle tanker incident on Highway 20 Wednesday near West Ridge Drive. The driver of the tanker said his tires caught the snow and pulled his truck into the ditch when he pulled over to avoid a collision with an east-bound vehicle that entered his lane while swerving to avoid a deer. The diesel was fully contained with no spill and no one was injured in the incident.

Lawyers make closing arguments Continued From Page A1 The charges stem from an incident in Williams Lake on April 22, 2012, when a pickup driven by Gentles collided with MacDonald and Mullet while they were walking across Carson Drive after attending the Indoor Rodeo barn dance.

In their final arguments, Crown Counsel Julie Dufour said

that Gentles should be convicted of all seven charges against him, while defence counsel Ken Walker said Gentles should not be found guilty of any of the charges.

Dufour referred to the statement Gentles gave to police in the afternoon after the incident, reminding the court he said it was hard to see ahead as he was driving down Carson Drive before the

collision.

“He knew it was dark down there, he should have slowed down, he did not,” Dufour said.

“He was impaired, his vision was skewed, his judgement was skewed, he hit those two girls and couldn’t even see them before he did.”

Walker, however, argued the group of people crossing Carson Drive made an error in judgement.

“They did not look or failed to see the Gentles vehicle coming down,” Walker said. “It is clear that these people crossing the road did so in a precarious state. Causation cannot be proven in these circumstances.”

Walker also told the court there was contrary evidence on the issue of impairment.

New Staff Sergeant appointed FIRE DESTROYS HOME Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Mountie filling the role of Staff Sergeant at the Williams Lake RCMP said he took the job because of the challenge.

“It’s a busy detachment with a lot of members who are gung-ho and eager to work,” Sgt. Del Byron said from Alexis Creek where he has been stationed since July as detachment commander.

“I am impressed with the members and support staff currently working in Williams Lake.”

Byron’s appointment was announced Tuesday, Dec. 9, however, it could take a few months before he is permanently stationed in Williams Lake.

His position in Alexis Creek will need to be filled and it will take time for his transfer, he said.

Originally from Winnipeg, Man., Byron joined the RCMP in 1985.

“I knew by my late teens I wanted to serve the public, protect peo-

Del Byron ple and serve the country,” he said.

Throughout his career he has been stationed in Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Manitoba and B.C. Byron said he believes policing in Williams Lake will be quite similar to policing in Prince George, where he was stationed for 10 years.

His formal position is Operations Non Commissioned Officer at the Staff Sergeant rank. He hopes to create a high-energy, innovative and enthusiastic work environment.

“I’m not a micromanager,” he said. “In the RCMP we have

One of the greatest

many talented and capable professional people. It’s all about giving them the space they need to do what they do. I’m open to new ideas.”

Byron said there are three options when it comes to dealing with prolific offenders.

“They move away, are put in jail, or we help them change their behaviour.

Williams Lake has 12 prolific offenders and nine of them are from Anaham Reserve. Most of them are in jail right now.”

Byron and his wife Tammy of 28 years have two grown sons, both living in Vancouver.

Aside from work he loves working out, cycling and judo.

“I haven’t been able to be involved with a judo club for five years so that’s one of the first things I am going to get back into when we move to Williams Lake.”

Byron replaces Staff Sgt. Ken Brissard who left Williams Lake last fall for a position with the RCMP in Nanaimo.

One of the best ways of preventing cancer caused by smoking is to educate your children to never start. Most people start to smoke in their teen years. Talk to your children about all the health reasons why they shouldn’t smoke. Also, have them avoid secondhand smoke which begs the question that if you smoke, seriously consider stopping. You’ll be doing your children a big, healthy favour.

Nature continues to supply the sources and inspiration for new drugs. The sweet wormwood plant supplies the key ingredient for a drug called artemisinin which has been developed by the company, Sanofi, as an antimalarial drug.

The drug is manufactured semi-synthetically using a special yeast that produces a precursor to the drug. It allows more drug to be made than from all-natural sources.

Good oral health is a lifetime job and it should start early in life. It used to be the rule that every child should be seen by a dentist by the age of 3 but the Canadian Dental Association is recommending the first visit should be earlier...at the first birthday. It’s a good first step to reducing childhood cavities and developing a lifetime of good oral health habits.

The world of labelling drug products is fraught with words like plus, ultra and Extra Strength. There is no real definition for what these words mean. Usually it means more of the main ingredient or another ingredient added to the regular formula. It can be confusing sometimes. Read the labels carefully and if in doubt, ask our pharmacists. We’re always available to answer your questions.

Remember, there are no silly questions when it comes to medications.

Each card on the Spirit of Christmas Giving Tree represents a child in need and their age.

For convenience people can pick a card, buy a gift and drop it off with the card in the Salvation Army’s donation box next to the service desk.

Families and individuals in need will be given gift cards to purchase food at local grocery stores for their Christmas dinners this year, Lippers says.

The food cards are

based on $25 per family member, plus an additional $25 to purchase a turkey.

He says supplying the food gift cards instead of food hampers gives families and individuals a greater sense of dignity.

However, Lippers said if there are people in the community wanting to still donate turkeys to the SA they can be assured the turkeys won’t go to waste.

The Spirit of Christmas Giving Tree will be set up at Canadian until Dec. 23.

Superintendent reports vulnerable children on rise Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The number of vulnerable children entering schools in the region is on the rise, according to School District 27 Supt. Mark Thiessen.

Thiessen made the announcement while he was presenting his student achievement report to the newlyelected school trustees at their inaugural board meeting, and said vulnerabilities include poverty, lan-

guage, health, cognitive development and physical health.

In the Cariboo Chilcotin district, Thiessen said the number of vulnerable children sits at about 35 per cent.

“We assess kids in kindergarten and will be doing that again so we can find out very early in their school career if they are vulnerable in one of those areas,” Thiessen said.

“Instead of improving in those areas we are seeing that we actually

have more kids that are vulnerable that are coming to school.”

Programs like StrongStart continue to work with parents and caregivers, but the school district needs to partner with the community and other organizations to keep working with families to help kids prepare for coming to school, he said.

Every six months Thiessen is expected to present a student achievement report, however, he said it’s

frustrating because he has to base his reports on data from the Ministry of Education that’s already a year and half old.

“I and many others have suggested to the ministry it would be nice to have information that is a couple of months more before we have to submit a report,” he said, crediting staff for helping him prepare the reports.

Basing his findings on the Foundation Skills Assessment

tests taken by students in Grades 4 and 7, in 2012 and 2013, Thiessen said the district improved by 3.5 per cent from 2009 and 2010.

“That’s higher than the rest of the province who improved by 1.5 per cent,” Thiessen pointed out.

Focusing on the higher grades, Thiessen said if students can make it to Grade 11 they have a better chance of completing Grade 12.

“We’ve seen im-

provement from Grade 11 to Grade 12 from 70 to 81 per cent and our First Nations rate has gone from 59 to 66 per cent.”

There is a gap between First Nations and non-First Nations in all achievement rates that needs to be a main focus, he added.

The board unanimously approved Thiessen’s report, which will be submitted to the ministry in January. The full report is available on the district’s website.

New school board trustees take oath of office, make appointments Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Newly elected school trustees took their oath of office Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the school board office in Williams Lake.

Returning as chair is Tanya Guenther after being voted in by the trustees. Joyce Cooper was acclaimed as vicechair. Joining them on the board table are Linda Nielsen, Chris Pettman, Christine Dyment, Sheila Boehm and Brice O’Neill.

Boehm was elected as the BCSTA provincial council board representative, while Nielsen was acclaimed as alternate. Dyment was acclaimed as BCPSEA board representative and Guenther was acclaimed as the alternate.

In the new year Guenther will announce appointments for various committee representative positions, after soliciting from the trustees their interests.

The board has two

standing committees, one on education and one on business that require three trustees each.

Additionally the board sends a representative to sit on the Cariboo Chilcotin Principal/Vice-Principal Association, three for the Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association, three for the International Union of Operating Engineers and two for the First Nations Education Committee.

No quick fix on poverty Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving.

There are food drives collecting for the food bank, and campaigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure all children have something waiting for them under the Christmas tree.

This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them.

But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to alleviate some of the need.

The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign.

According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining.

The B.C. Child Poverty Report Card says 153,000 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012.

Last year, the report said

169,240 children.

First Call set out 19 recommendations in their report with a goal of reducing the provincial child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020.

The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance.

But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem.

Back in 1989 — yes, 25 years ago — all political parties in the House of Commons collectively vowed to end child poverty in a decade.

We’re still waiting.

And, obviously, it’s not an easy solution to come by, but when we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change.

We can’t wait another 25 years.

Puppy know-how a learning curve, for sure I’ve been learning a lot about dogs since we adopted a puppy from the BCSPCA in October.

The other night Luna climbed up beside me on the couch, where she is not allowed to be, and started licking my hand.

It was a change in attitude for sure. Bold and affectionate.

Most of the time she wants to chew my hands. Some of that chewing has been appeased by various toys, water buffalo ears, beef soup bones, rawhide and non-puppy item she obtains.

She’s also started enthusiastically wagging her tail when we arrive home, which you have to

admit is kind of nice.

Being welcomed to your own home isn’t normal. It’s also great to be forced to go for a walk when your mind is telling you that you have no energy.

On weekends we hike in the woods with her. On week days, however, it’s dark before and af-

ter work.

Walking our puppy in the dark has its challenges.

Sometimes we’re a block away from home and have just started out, when she’s already pulling on the leash to turn back.

There are no streetlights in our neighbourhood so we take a flashlight to illuminate ourselves for drivers. She seems happier when the flash light is shining in front of her.

While Luna’s mom was a German Shepherd and Husky cross, all nine of her puppies looked quite different than each other.

Our vet told us we can send

away a DNA sample and find out Luna’s various breeds.

We think of a golden lab when we look at her, but the vet said Luna’s ears remind her of a Shar Pei. Maybe we’ll treat ourselves to the DNA test, after all the Christmas shopping is done.

When I was growing up our family never had a dog.

My dad didn’t seem very comfortable around them. We had cats instead.

One day I found a stray dog and brought it home. Memory is tricky so I can’t remember how long we had Shag for, but I recall that he had issues.

The sound of chains terrified him. He was an escape artist and hated being tied up.

Eventually the dog catcher found Shag a permanent home in Yahk, B.C. While I work with our puppy, I wonder what Shag’s life was like when he was younger.

Was he a happy puppy? Do puppies change much as they grow up?

Guess I’ll know more about how that works in a couple of years from now.

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

Beetle report provides useful options The authors of this 100 page report use the term bugwood for trees killed by the Mountain Pine Beetle. This detailed report published in February 2006 provides some valuable information on what goes into providing an estimate for a return on investment on a variety of uses for bugwood biomass. The study was funded by the provincial government with the work done by a Vancouver company.

The details are listed at the end of this article.

The executive summary provided the following information: “This study examines the technical and economic feasibility of converting the biomass resource in pine-beetle killed trees (bugwood) into energy products. Seven different technological approaches were examined: the Lignol process to make ethanol, small-scale CHP (combined heat and power), bio-liquid, cellulignin briquettes, gasification to make methanol, pipeline quality synthetic natural gas (SNG), and pelletizing. Of these processes only pelletizing is currently considered commercial in B.C.” Each study shows details of capital costs, salaries, fuel, electrical use, feedstock harvesting and transportation and any incentives or carbon credits. The most profitable scenario was a 50 ton per hour plant that shipped the pellets to an Alberta coal plant with a return on investment of 15 per cent.

The report is loaded with tables, charts and graphs and pictures on the factors that go into what it takes to make a profit on the various end products. Although the majority of process were not considered viable at the time of writing the report the authors provide

Forest Ink Jim Hilton some valuable advice for the government and industry regarding how some of the alternative processes could become viable.

Some of the suggestions recommended for further investigation are: • Confirm the cost of harvesting bugwood and resolve discrepancies between various studies quoting different costs.

• Assess market value and potentials for products made from bugwood in domestic and foreign markets, and identify possible sites and/or partners for community or industry CHP installations.

• Develop a bugwood-for-energy strategy that links in with B.C.’s Alternative Energy Strategy, and analyze how several plants of various technologies could work together synergetically to use this resource cost-efficiently.

• The harvesting of non-stem wood or forest fire fuel load reduction may present an economic opportunity for BC that has so far been ignored. In Scandinavia, special processors collect branches and small diameter stems to form bundles which are then utilized in energy conversion plants. According to FERIC, the density of nonstemwood is still low even if bundled, and the cost of bundlers is high (i.e., on-site chipping of such wood may be another option to be considered for B.C.) • Detailed economic and feasibility studies should be encour-

aged, possibly through public / private partnerships, for specific locations and applications as some of the assumptions in this report (e.g. averaging transport distance), the availability of waste fibre, and local community and/or industry needs for energy may have masked a site-specific economic opportunity.

• The feasibility of micro or small community-scale wood gas systems, such as mobile self powered whole log or branch chippers could be evaluated.

Most of the technologies presented in this report and other reports concerning bugwood require

further development and refinement of expertise and knowledge to bring them to commercialization. Information has been presented to suggest the most promising opportunities.

This study further recommends the creation of a comprehensive bugwood-for-energy strategy for BC based on additional studies to identify markets, biomass energy facility locations, and co-ordination of the different approaches to bugwood utilization.

The goal would be to use the bugwood resource; to enable accelerated rejuvenation of affected forests and to create new biomass

energy industries that can source other forestry energy feedstocks to continue to function after the bugwood is no longer available.

To my knowledge very few of the recommendations have been taken seriously since the publication of the report and the focus has been on large scale programs like hydroelectric or LNG plans.

That is unfortunate because many of these smaller ventures have a much better employment opportunity relative to the amount of feedstock used.

Is there any period of the year where people are as happy as they are leading up to the special day on the Dec. 25?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have this public enjoyment all year long?

Look at how many gifts we

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

could accumulate all year long, not material goods but the smiles and cheerfulness. Those are great presents.

People in good ole Willy’s Puddle are not afraid to say ‘Merry Christmas’ and the stores have gay decorations, with staff who also wish you a Merry Christmas.

It’s good we have not all succumbed to those who don’t like the word ‘Christmas.’

Now also is the time for Santa Claus to come our way bearing goodies in his sleigh .

Santa will know if you’ve been good or bad.

He is now checking his list from many boys and girls to make sure he has the right presents because it would make

him look bad to give little Sally a fire truck and Billy, a doll’s outfit.

The magic Santa has brings happiness to boys and girls of all ages.

They know he has a big workshop at the North Pole and his elves help Santa get ready for his speedy trip down so many chimneys.

No matter what age you are, keep believing in the big jolly fat man, it can’t do any harm and it helps us carry the spirit of Christmas for so long.

More Christians go to church over Christmas to celebrate the

birth of Jesus Christ and they suggest that Jesus is the Reason for the season.

The Spirit of Christmas is with us in the Cariboo Chilcotin and I hope you have fun decorating your real tree, enjoy a family dinner with the big bird as a guest on the Dec. 25, and may your holiday time be very special.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

It will be a special time for my family and I hope the season will be magical for you!

Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long.

Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution.

Jeff Nagel Black Press Pity the poor diesel truck owner.

While regular gasoline prices have dropped significantly with the plunging price of oil, the pump price for diesel has remained stubbornly high.

According to bcgasprices.com, regular gas fell below $1 a litre at a Costco station in Prince George this week, with other prices around the B.C. Interior nearly as low. One of the best deals on diesel was $119.9 at the No Frills station in Port Alberni, with

diesel prices as high as $145.9 at the Esso and Shell stations in Kitimat.

“It shouldn’t be that high,” said John Whittall, a West Kelowna retiree who bought his diesel pickup for the fuel savings. “Typically, diesel hasn’t been more than gas. When gas was low it was lower.”

That’s historically true.

But early 2009 – when diesel was 85 cents a litre and gas was nearly $1 – is the last time diesel drivers enjoyed big savings.

The price gap closed and since 2012

We’re Not Just Realtors Selling A Home…

diesel has cost a few cents a litre more than gas most of the time, according to statistics maintained by petroleum industry analysts MJ Ervin and Associates.

For the last three years, diesel has been stuck between $1.30 and $1.50 in Vancouver, costing a few cents more than regular gas for most of that time.

Jason Parent, vicepresident of consulting at MJ Ervin, says the reason for the disparity is diesel and gasoline are two very different commodities that don’t move together in lockstep.

“They each have

their own supply and demand fundamentals and they can move in different directions,” he said.

Unlike gasoline, which jumps in price towards summer as more drivers hit the road, diesel tends to rise in the winter.

The reason, Parent said, is that diesel is virtually identical to heating oil, which is in high demand to heat homes in the winter.

“In the winter season when it gets colder, demand for heating oil spikes and that causes a demand pull on both heating oil prices and diesel prices.”

We are your Neighbours, Your Friends, We are Community Volunteers.

Most of all, We are a Team YOUR TEAM!

The drop in crude oil prices has put downward pressure on diesel, he said, but that has been largely offset by the increase in winter demand – much to the irritation of diesel users.

“The guys who use diesel are all wondering why they’re not seeing the same benefit as everyone else.”

Whittall said he has difficulty believing Parent’s explanation.

He said diesel prices never seem to budge, no matter if it’s summer, winter or crude oil prices are collapsing.

“I bet you it hasn’t moved a penny up here,” he said.

Tourism centre breaks ice on new program Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer An ice fishing rod loan program is being piloted at the Tourism Discovery Centre in Williams Lake.

“People can borrow a rod, tackle and an ice auger,” visitor centre counsellor Taylor Williams said Thursday as the program was launched. “We’ve had our regular fishing rod loan program for three years, but this is the first year we’re expanding it to ice fishing gear.”

Williams and her fellow staff pitched the idea to Freshwater Fisheries.

“Every year Freshwater Fisheries solicits comments and we made a recommendation,”

she explained. “Within half an hour to an hour there are so many great fishing lakes, such as Dugan, Chimney, Felker and Lac La Hache.”

Mayor Walt Cobb said the program offers an opportunity for visitors to stay an extra day in the area.

“I know the fishing rod program has worked so this is a good idea.”

Chamber of commerce president Angela Sommer loves outdoor winter activities and said she envisioned people incorporating snow shoeing, cross country skiing and ice fishing to make it a unique experience.

“I think this program is only going to grow,” she said of the rod loan.

Former Tribune editor Erin Hitchcock, pictured here with her 18-month-old son, Drake, is busy raising her family these days but took time out of her busy schedule to write this story about how people in Williams Lake and area can have a greener Christmas. exchange two billion Christmas cards; and generate 545,000 tonnes of waste from wrapping paper and shopping bags.

By adopting just a couple of the following ideas from Scout Island Nature Centre’s environmental educator Sue Hemphill and Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society (CCCS) water wise educator Mary Forbes, you can still have a joyous Christmas and reduce your environmental footprint.

“Tradition is important to the human soul, so find traditions that are good for you and good for the Earth,” Hemphill said.

Gifts: Buy presents locally that are made out of local materials, Hemphill said.

The annual Earth Friendly Holiday Event recently held at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre showcased numerous ways to make Christmas gifts and ornaments and served as an alternative to a busy night shopping.

Have fun making gifts out of repurposed items and buy used.

Try talking to your family about donating to a charity or organization.

Forbes suggests prepurchasing tickets to

a local arts and music festival and, she said, don’t feel bad about regifting items you don’t want.

Wrapping: Wrap your gifts in reusable, cloth bags, or items around the house, such as old maps as Hemphill has done in the past. Forbes suggests making cloth bags out of old pillowcases.

Save any gift wrap you do receive for the following year. Use recycled cards for gift tags or write directly on the package.

“Sixty per cent of our waste generated from the holidays is packaging, and you can completely avoid it,” Forbes said, adding the Station House Gallery wraps items in old clothing patterns, and the CCCS also offers upcycled banner bags at its office, Dandelion Living, Cariboo Growers, and the Station House Gallery.

Tree: For a real tree, cut down a small one that is close to another tree. This may help nearby trees thrive.

Look for a used, fake tree (never buy a new one). Forbes found a used tree and LED lights at the share shed, where many used decorations are found after the holidays.

Decorations: Replace any old lights

with LEDs (old lights can be taken to BeeLine Courier for recycling). Timers help reduce energy usage.

Hemphill advises not having lights up too long before and after Christmas. Get creative, Forbes said, by turning old wrapping paper into origami crafts or reusing the shell of an old, incandescent light bulb by hanging a piece of holly inside.

Food: Keep it local, organic, fair trade and/ or homemade as much as possible, Hemphill said. Try making one or two items from scratch you previously bought pre-packaged — let your inner chef come alive.

Get outside: One of the best ways to help our environment is to enjoy it.

Take a walk through the woods, follow the tiny footprints nature leaves behind, and resolve to make your own footprint a little smaller in the coming year.

O! You better watch out!

O holy night!

The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!

Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the wise men from Orient land The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend

Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night divine

Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand

From our Homes to Yours ...

Cariboo-Chilcotin Teachers’ Association

Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born.

When I am a seeker, I seek both night and day; I seek the Lord to help me, And He shows me the way: Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman Upon the city wall, And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all.

Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born.

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight!

Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing ‘Alleluia’ Christ the Saviour, is born!

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal.

There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head, He began to dance around.

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day.

Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be The children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there’s no such thing as Santa But as for me and Grandpa, we believe She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog And we’d begged her not to go But she’d left her medication So she stumbled out the door into the snow When they found her Christmas mornin’ At the scene of the attack There were hoof prints on her forehead And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve You can say there’s no such thing as Santa But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of pig And a blue and silver candle That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig

Wish breakfast coming up Dec. 16 Carmen’s Restaurant at the Ramada Inn is now taking reservations for the ninth annual Christmas Wish Breakfast taking place Tuesday, Dec. 16 from 6 to 10 a.m.

Admission to the breakfast is a way to provide toys for children in need this Christmas.

“The breakfast is a fantastic way for us to generate gifts for countless local families that can’t afford to buy gifts for their children during the holidays,” says Vanessa Riplinger, the event organizer at the Child Development Centre.

The cost is either a cash donation or a new

unwrapped child’s toy which can be dropped off at the breakfast.

As the breakfast is a popular event, with the Ramada’s Carmen’s Restaurant doing the catering, Riplinger asks that people contact the Ramada at 250-3923321 to reserve their table. Monetary donations can be dropped off at the CDC at 690 North Second Avenue, made payable to the Child Development Centre.

People who need someone to pick up their donation or those who have questions are asked to call the CDC at 250-392-4481.

Island Mountain Arts in Wells has purchased a home for its summer School of Arts and ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art. The property purchase was made possible with the help of crowd funding and a partnership between the IMA society and Integris Credit Union in Wells.

“I never would have dreamed six months ago that we would be taking possession of this property this year,” says executive director Julie Fowler.

On July 25 the society launched a crowd funding campaign called “CAWS for the Nest” to purchase the property in Wells which has been everything from a bank to the town jail, and includes a large commercial building, plus two outbuildings, a green house and a good amount of green space.

“We had no idea if we could raise the money to make this dream a reality, but we knew we had to try,” Fowler says.

“There was a risk involved in moving forward, but there was also a risk in doing nothing, as we found ourselves losing facilities that are essential to our operations.”

Fowler says the seller gave the society 75 days to put financing in place.

By early September, more than 200 people had donated almost $35,000 for the project.

“While this was an amazing feat, it was short of the $100,000 goal, which would have provided for the required 25 per cent down payment, as well as all the incidentals that go along with

In the final moments of the campaign, she says Island Mountain directors appealed to their local Credit Union, Integris, which had been a sponsor of the ArtsWells Festival since 2008.

“In an incredible act of confidence in the project and in the organization, matching their strong belief in supporting development projects in their community, Integris came on as a partner in the project, agreeing to provide the financing,” Fowler says.

With everything in place she says Island Mountain Arts took possession of the property on Dec.1.

For years she says Island Mountain has needed more facilities and space for its programs as well as accommodation for artists, instructors and staff.

B.C. oil refinery backers move ahead Tom Fletcher Black Press Backers of a third large oil refinery proposal for B.C.’s North Coast made some high-profile appointments Wednesday, Dec. 10, naming former Assembly of First Nations national chiefs Shawn Atleo and Ovide Mercredi as advisors to their team.

Pacific Future Energy, proposing what it calls the world’s greenest refinery near Prince Rupert, announced the appointments Wednesday at a Vancouver Board of Trade event hosted by Stockwell Day, the former Conservative trade minister who has been the group’s public face since August.

Pacific Future’s proposal is similar to Kitimat Clean, a refinery bid launched in 2012 by David Black, chairman of Black Press.

Both would be constructed from modules manufactured offshore to produce diesel, gasoline and other fuels for sale, avoiding the transport of heavy oil by tankers to reach export markets.

The third proposal is called Eagle Spirit Energy, headed by aboriginal author and lawyer Calvin Helin with financial backing from the Aquilini Group, the Vancouver family business that owns the Vancouver Canucks and extensive real estate and farm holdings.

Eagle Spirit is proposing a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to an upgrader that would produce synthetic crude oil for export by tankers, likely from the Prince Rupert area.

Black announced last week that engineering firm Hatch

Ltd. has completed a design and feasibility study for a refinery at an estimated cost of $22 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest in the world.

Black said in an interview he sees obvious similarities with the Pacific Future proposal, which describes new technology and carbon capture to reduce its environmental impact.

Kitimat Clean proposes a new refining process that avoids production of petroleum coke, a coallike byproduct of conventional heavy oil refining that is used as a high-carbon industrial fuel.

Black said his engineering report was prepared using proprietary and patented techniques, and won’t be made public.

He said the entry of Pacific Future, headed by an executive of Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas, shows the business case for a B.C. refinery is sound and there is capacity for more than one plant.

All proposals for B.C. North Coast refining require oil transport to the coast, either by rail or some version of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which received a federal environmental certificate this year and awaits approval by the federal cabinet.

All proposals also face opposition transport of heavy oil.

Pacific Future has appointed Atleo as a senior advisor for partnerships, months after he was appointed by Vancouver Island University as an advisor for dialogue between First Nations, government and industry.

Film club wraps season with Merry Christmas Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Film Club will show it’s last film for this season on Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Very befittingly it is called Merry Christmas and will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 7 p.m. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee for Best Foreign Film, Merry Christmas tells the true life story of the spontaneous Christmas Eve truce declared by German, Scottish and French troops in the trenches of the First World War, exactly 100 years ago.

Enemies leave their weapons behind for one night as they band together in brotherhood and forget about the brutalities of war.

This truce was declared against all orders.

On Christmas Eve, the German, Scottish and French troops laid down their arms, exchanged gifts, sang carols and played football. It wasn’t long before the men’s livid commanding officers clamped down on

The Williams Lake Film Club will show its last film of the season, Merry Christmas, on Dec. 16 at the Gibraltar Room. all fraternization.

The Germans are represented by Daniel Brühl as a martinet officer, who is deeply suspicious of a liberal conscript private, who is a professional singer in civilian life. He has a passionate relationship with the beautiful Danish soprano Anna Sorensen, played by Diane Krüger, and it is her unofficial, moraleraising visit to the front which is imagined to be the spark that ignites the sensational outbreak of peace. The French are led by Audebert (Guillaume Canet), a decent

man heartsick of war.

A Sottish Red Cross stretcher-bearer and unofficial padre, played

by Gary Lewis Palmer, conducts an impromptu service in no-man’s-land that unites the soldiers of three Christian nations. And the sound of Stille Nacht floating across the trenches is a sound you probably will never forget.

The site of this Christmas truce is in Saint-Yves (Saint-YvonPloegsteert in Belgium) where plans are being made by German and Scottish groups to create a soccer field to

commemorate that very special occasion. And to organize soccer games with German, Scottish and French teams.

Alfred Anderson, the last survivor of the Christmas Truce of 1914 died Nov. 21, 2005 at a nursing home in his native Scotland. He was 109 years old. Lest we forget.

We also will show the second instalment of short films by Oliver Berger and Morgan Day. This film is about five minutes in length and will take us to The Troll Ski Resort.

As this is the last film

of this season, we once again would like to ask you for donations for the Food Bank. This has become an annual tradition just as we would like to ask you to bring some of your homemade Christmas baking to share with all of us at our little get-together after the films.

This would be truly appreciated. We also will have hot mulled apple cider for your enjoyment.

Regular admission is $9, for members $8, and $6 for seniors (65+) and students, TRU and HS. Languages spoken are German, French, English, and Latin, just as it happened to be at that time of the event in 1914.

The film has English subtitles, running time is 115 min.; Rating: 13+; Genre: drama, romance.

The Salvation Army is in need of the following volunteers: Prep cooks, lunch-time servers, afternoon coffee servers, food room sorting.

Stuck and Spinning “Need a push?” It’s a common enough question as the days get shorter, the snow gets deeper, and drivers sometimes find themselves spinning helplessly, trying to get un-stuck.

I’ve given lots of pushes over the years. It’s the neighbourly thing to do, and you never know when you might need a push yourself.

One day last winter I needed more than just a push. It was a Monday (my day off) and I looked forward to some alone time on the crosscountry ski trails at Bull Mountain.

With fresh snow on the ground, I could just imagine the beauty awaiting me on the trails. What I didn’t consider was how slick the road up the mountain would be.

The temperature hovered around freezing, and the snow had fallen on a film of ice. My little truck was shod with studded tires, but with two-wheel drive and nothing but a pair of skis in the back, I started spinning as soon as the road tilted upward.

Two attempts at the hill saw me lose momentum each time, and after my second attempt I started sliding backward! Even the studs were not enough to hold me, and I soon found myself with one rear tire in a snowbank. The more I spun, the deeper I dug. It was a Monday morning, and I was alone.

After some complaining and some praying, I was elated to hear

PARSONS PEN

BY Chris harder the sound of a diesel chugging up the road. It was a Telus crew in a chained-up 4x4, heading to the tower on top of the mountain.

Those guys must have chuckled at the helpless situation they saw as they clawed around the bend, but they were more than willing to yank me out of the snowbank and pull me to my destination. It was a simple rescue for them, but a situation I could have never got out of alone.

Have you ever been stuck? Stuck in an emotion that you can’t break out of… a habit that controls you… … a way of life that makes you feel like all you do is spin your wheels and the scenery never changes.

Personal strength and

determination is enough to power through a lot of rough patches in life. People do this all the time.

They just put the pedal down a little harder and get through it.

But sometimes the rough patch is more than just a bad week. Maybe it’s a season of loss, or a long-term struggle, and you find yourself not only losing momentum, but running out of gas. The realization hits you at some point: “I’ve done all I can and I’m just spinning.”

The smartest thing you can do at that point is to stop spinning and get help.

Tragically, this is where so many people stay stuck: they don’t know the difference between correction and condemnation. Many people are reluctant to get the help they need because they are afraid of the condemning messages they might receive from their friends, family, or church.

People fear that all someone is going to say to them is: “You’re wrong.” It’s humiliating, and it doesn’t feel like it helps a whole lot.

Here’s what you need to know: Condemnation is a message that tells you what your problem is, but does nothing to help you get unstuck. Correction, however, tells you what the problem is, and then offers a path to getting unstuck. Good correction even offers to give a push or a pull if needed.

Correction helps you move forward!

sports SPORTS NOTEBOOK Saturday, Dec. 13 Stampeders host Kangaroos

Gaven Crites/100 Mile Free Press photo

100 Mile Wranglers defenceman Jayden Syrota lays a hit on a Kamloops Storm player. The two teams recently played a Kootenay International Junior Hockey League regular season game in Williams Lake.

KIJHL to one day play in Williams Lake?

Adam Williams Kamloops This Week The landscape of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League could look very different a few years from now.

So, it was with the possibility of change in mind that the Kamloops Storm played host to the 100 Mile House Wranglers for a regular-season game in Williams Lake on Nov. 28.

“The long and the short of it is, it’s an attempt by the league to spark some interest in junior B hockey in Williams Lake,” said Kamloops Storm general manager Barry Dewar.

Dewar is also a member of the KIJHL’s franchise committee.

“I think the board wants to look at all alternatives and all possibilities about where to be at and what the footprint of the league should be.”

Dewar said the league has been approached about putting a team in Quesnel, but would also need a team in Williams Lake in order to make the northern location work.

The long and the short of it is, it’s an attempt by the league to spark some interest in junior B hockey in Williams Lake.”

- Barry Dewar, Kamloops Storm general manager Earlier this season, 100 Mile House played the Chase Heat in a regular-season game in Quesnel, in front of about 361 fans.

Dewar hoped the Storm and the Wranglers would draw a crowd of about 300, but said possibly, due to the freezing cold temperatures of the day, that didn’t come close to happening.

“The roads coming in from out of town were treacherous,” he said. “That’s understandable.”

The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, former home of the junior A Williams Lake

TimberWolves, has a capacity of about 800.

The Storm general manager said he has had conversations with a few interested parties in Williams Lake, but most are taking the wait-and-see approach.

He said potential owners are reluctant to put down the franchise fee, about $150,000, without a firm idea of the club’s eventual popularity.

“I think if you can get a solid 300 people there, I think you’re going to be able to present a case to someone up there that, with

local ownership and local players and local initiative, they’ll be able to put 500 to 600 people in the barn,” he said.

“I think somebody could make a ton of money running a junior B team [in Williams Lake].”

Also on the radar are rumours of teams considering leaving the junior A B.C. Hockey League in favour of joining the KIJHL or another junior B league.

The Prince George Spruce Kings, Merritt Centennials,Trail Smoke Eaters and Powell River Kings are among the teams predicted to be on the move around this time every year.

“There’s a lot of rumours that some of the B.C. Hockey League teams will not stay in the B.C. Hockey League and that they may be looking to come into the KIJHL in the near future,” Dewar said.

“So, if that happens, then, all of a sudden, realignment is going to be necessary and it might be, at that time, we may need some more teams to make a third conference.”

- With files from Greg Sabatino

Saturday, Dec. 13, when the Williams Lake Stampeders host the Quesnel Kangaroos at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, the team will be hosting a toque, mitten and teddy bear toss and are asking fans to bring any of the previously mentioned items to throw on the ice during the first intermission. All of the items will go to the Boys and Girls Club to distribute to children in need.

“The support and generosity of our fans has been tremendous and we know they will come through again,” said Stampeders sponsorship and marketing director Calvin Dubray.

Also, during the second intermission the team will host a turkey shoot where 10 fans will be selected from their program ticket to shoot for a chance to win one of 10 turkeys. Any turkeys not claimed will go to the Salvation Army. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 27 and Sunday, Dec. 28 Cariboo Canucks Hockey Tournament

The Cariboo Canucks Hockey Club’s First Nations Hockey Tournament takes place Dec. 27-28 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

The tournament will feature competitive, recreational, 40-plus masters and ladies’ divisions. Prize money will be awarded to first-, second- and third-place teams in the competitive division (eight teams), while T-shirts will be presented to winning teams in the other divisions.

Mt. Timothy to push back opening day Mt. Timothy Ski Area, originally scheduled to open this weekend, has been forced to push back its opening day due to warm temperatures.

“It is with huge disappointment that we make this announcement,” stated the Mt. Timothy Ski Society on the ski hill’s website.

“Although we have

done everything that we can to ensure that the mountain is ready for opening this upcoming weekend, Dec. 13,

the weather has other plans.”

The warm weather has melted the hill’s snow base to a point

where the society said it would be unsafe for hill patrons.

As a result the new tentative opening day is

Saturday, Dec. 20.

Troll Mountain near Quesnel has also had to postpone its opening day due to the weather.

Shred the Nar debuts with film club Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Before each feature film this winter the Williams Lake Film Club is showing shorts from ski and snowboarding films being made by two lakecity men.

Oliver Berger and Morgan Day skied and snowboarded all of the ski resorts in B.C. and made documentary films about their adventures called Shred the Nar. Their first short film on Mt. Timothy was shown before the film club’s documentary Which Way Home shown at the Gibraltar Room Saturday.

“I have five more segments which I will show before our regular films until Feb. 24,” says film club organizer Krista Liebe.

The final film club night before Christmas is coming up this Tuesday, Dec. 16 starting at 7 p.m. in the Gibraltar Room.

The next Shred the Nar short will feature the Troll Ski Hill near Quesnel.

Shred the Nar will continue its adventure this winter, beginning early January, this time heading east to Alberta in search of powder to ski.

Dates for the 2015 season are Jan. 13 and 27; Feb. 10 and 24; March 24; April 7 and 21; and May 5.

www.wltribune.com B3

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis).

Please direct questions or comments regarding aerator operation to: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Williams Lake (Cariboo) 400 - 640 Borland St. Williams Lake, BC V2G 4T1 Telephone: 250-398-4530 Facsimile: 250-398-4214

Ginny Stewart McLean

Wednesday Issue 3:00 p.m. on the preceding Monday

Jill was adventuresome, kind, helpful, loving, happy, born to shop hence a great gift giver, great cook especially pies, awesome Mom, Grandmother, partner to Pete, and friend to both animals and people.

As a home care nurse Jill could always be counted on to have whatever we might need in her purse. Our ski trips, walks and shopping excursions are not the same without her cheery face, warm hugs and helpful thoughts.

Jillie may not be walking beside us but she is always with us.

Missing you my friend, Lynn and Val

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Virginia Alice (Ginny) Stewart McLean, who passed away on November 27, 2014 at the age of 87.

Ginny was born on March 30, 1927 in Wainwright, Alberta, the second eldest of four daughters, to Charles and Ethel Harvey. The family eventually settled in Summerland, B.C., where Ginny met Robert (Bob) Stewart in the sixth grade. They were married shortly after Bob returned from WWII. Son Rob was born the following year, followed by Bonnie, Wendy, Duncan, Eleanor and Donna.

Ginny and Bob started Stewart’s Lodge and Camps, a summer fishing resort at Nimpo Lake in the Chilcotin in 1949 and operated it until son Duncan took over in the 1980’s.

The family moved back to the Okanagan and took up skiing when Ginny was 40 years old.

Ginny and Bob went on many ski trips to the U.S. and Europe, also heli-skiing in the Canadian Rockies.

Her favorite mountain was Silver Star, which she skied every winter until her 80’s, volunteering with the Ski Host Program.

Over the course of her life Ginny travelled to Europe, Africa, South America and the South Pacific.

Ginny loved nature and spent many happy hours hiking, birding and exploring with the North Okanagan Naturalists’ Association.

In recent years she joined the Red Hat Rebels with her daughter Bonnie and enjoyed their group outings very much.

Ginny was predeceased by her husband Bob in 2001 and her second husband Don McLean in 2013.

She is survived by her sisters, Eunice Walton, Marian (Percy) Sims and Shirley Nilsson and by her children Rob (Pegge) Stewart of Bella Coola, Bonnie (Walt) Kantymir of Enderby, Wendy (Doug) Clarke of Williams Lake, Duncan (Angela) Stewart of Nimpo Lake, Eleanor (Darryl) Pengelly of Caroline, Alberta and Donna (Ralph) Saunders of Telkwa. She was beloved Grandma and Nana to 18 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

Ginny was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, steadfast sister and intrepid adventurer. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Services for the late Ginny Stewart McLean will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home in Vernon on Saturday, January 3 at 1:30 p.m.
