Judge rules evidence Home owners urged to deal admissible in with beetle-infected trees Gentles trial Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Family and friends of Rayel MacDonald and Alysha Mullet shared hugs and tears outside the courtroom Monday after Justice John D. Truscott ruled that all evidence related to impaired and dangerous driving charges is admissible in the trial of Martin William Gentles.

Gentles, 30, faces seven charges in B.C. Supreme Court in Williams Lake, including dangerous and impaired driving causing the death of MacDonald and bodily harm to Mullet on April 22, 2012.

He is also charged with failing to remain at the scene after the pickup he was driving allegedly collided with the two women as they were walking across Carson Drive in Williams Lake after the Indoor Rodeo Dance.

When the trial began on Monday, Nov. 24, two voir dire sessions were conducted on the admissibility of certain evidence.

Defence counsel Ken Walker argued Gentles’ charter rights had been violated because an alcohol screening device (ASD) test was administered by the RCMP after he was arrested on dangerous driving charges.

Walker told the court the RCMP had no right to continue investigating Gentles until

he had spoken with a lawyer.

Truscott, however, ruled Const. James MacKinnon had reasonable grounds to suspect Mr. Gentles had alcohol in his body and had operated a motor vehicle within the preceding three hours and therefore had the authority to demand a sample of Mr. Gentle’s breath via the ASD before affording Mr. Gentles the right to counsel.

“Const. MacKinnon says as he was dealing with Mr. Gentles in the course of his arrest at the truck, he could smell alcohol on Mr. Gentles, and noticed signs of impairment,” Truscott said. “The ASD was administered to Mr. Gentles at 2:36 a.m. at the roadside and it registered a fail.

There is no issue by Mr. Gentles that the ASD was administered improperly to produce a fail.”

The second voir dire dealt with a statement Gentles gave to the police following his discussion with counsel on the telephone at the RCMP detachment where he was taken after his arrest.

“It is clear to me that the statement that Mr. Gentles gave to the police, if the Crown wishes to use it, is admissible as being completely voluntary on the part of Mr. Gentles,” Truscott said.

The trial continued Monday morning with

RCMP forensic toxicologist Christine Dagenais and civilian witness Tyler Kerr.

Dagenais had calculated the blood alcohol in Gentles’ body at the time of the collision to be in the range of 190 to 211 milligrams per cent. The legal limit is 50 milligrams.

Kerr told the court he was standing near his car and talking with friends in the alleyway of Carson Drive at around 2:15 a.m. that morning when he heard a thud, screaming and a “woosh” sound.

As he turned around he saw two women’s bodies — one flying, the other one on the road and the back end of a pickup heading down Carson.

Kerr, a paramedic, ran to Mullet, the closest of the two, and yelled out for someone to call 911.

She was unconscious and not breathing, but he was able to administer first aid and get her breathing again.

His friend, a nurse, ran to MacDonald.

When cross-examining Kerr, Walker asked if it was the sound of brakes Kerr heard.

“I’m going to suggest to you that the sound you heard could have been the sound of brakes, although today you think it’s a woosh sound, is that possible?” Walker asked.

Kerr answered no.

“Something like that kind of gets burned in your memory,” he said.

Since the wildfires of 2009 and 2010, the Douglas-fir beetle has been hard at work killing trees in the CaribooChilcotin, according to Cariboo Region forest entomologist Jodi Axelson.

“The ecology of this beetle is that fires will fire-up the population,” Axelson said. “A lot of that increase is now quite visible. When you look around the valley, down the Highway 97 corridor, or on the golf course you will see a lot of red trees.”

When large wildfires occur, often a number of trees on the outskirts of the burnt area are damaged, scarred and weakened.

“Those are exactly the kind of trees, when the populations are low, that the beetles will go to,” Axelson said. “If you get enough of these damaged trees on the landscape, over a number of years you’ll see the population build because there’s so much available host to them.”

Axelson said signs of infested trees can be discoloured foliage, with needles turning yellow, bright pink-red and then a dark rust.

“A Douglas-fir tree that is experiencing a current attack may maintain a green, healthy-looking crown for many months, but it’s important to understand that live beetles emerge the following year and infest nearby trees.”

If people see a pale green, yellow, red, brown or grey Douglasfir tree on or near their property, they are asked to check the surround-

To raise public awareness about the Douglas-fir beetle, Axelson has created a four-page brochure for landowners to help mitigate the beetle’s spread.

It was made available Friday on the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations website and can be printed at home, or picked up at the ministry’s offices.

“I hoped to give people some guidance

on how to deal with it in their own lives and on their own property,” Axelson said.

While the best thing to do is cut the trees down and ideally remove them from the site, if people want to use the wood for firewood, they need to remove the bark.

“If you were to cut up the wood and stack it, those beetles are highly likely to still survive,” she warned.

The Douglas-fir beetle is very small, similar to the mountain pine beetle, and thousands

can live on one tree.

And those thousands of beetles are also doing the same thing the mountain pine peetle was doing to pine.

They bore underneath the bark, mine the cambium and lay all their eggs. The eggs hatch into pupa that eat their way into the tree.

“The really large Douglas Fir that are most susceptible to the Douglas-Fir Beetle are really lovely trees to have on our property, in our parks and around us,” she said. “It’s sad to see those trees go.”

it’s something unique and I am in favour of carrying on with Wrestling Day.” Under the community charter a council or the mayor may proclaim a holiday and each year in December that’s what

happens in Williams Lake.

Council voted unanimously in favour of proclaiming the holiday, followed by applause from some of the public sitting in the chambers.

RCMP busy during weekend On Dec. 7 at 2:30 p.m., the Williams Lake RCMP attended a residence on the 1100 block of Second Avenue North. The occupant of the residence called to report a break and enter that occurred sometime overnight while they were away.

Nothing was missing from the home although a few items were moved.

Suspect(s) gained entry into the residence by kicking the front door in. The matter is still under investigation.

On Dec. 8, at 3:13 a.m., PD Security contacted the RCMP to re-

port mischief to vehicle in the parking lot at the Coast Fraser Inn. Police attended and located a purple Chrysler Intrepid with a busted out passenger window.

The glove box was open and it appeared some things had been rummaged through. It is unknown if anything was taken from the vehicle.

Also Dec. 8, at 7:09 a.m., the Williams Lake RCMP received a report from a male advising the back passenger window of his grey GMC Sierra pickup had been pried open sometime over-

night while parked on the 200 block of Donald Road.

An officer attended and located the pickup, which had been riffled through and the ignition tampered with.

The owner stated that the only thing missing from the pickup was a black Buck knife (6” long). A witness stated he awoke at 1 a.m. to the sound of a car alarm.

The witness looked out of his window and saw the pickup with its lights flashing, but did not see anyone nearby.

This matter is still under investigation.

BUSINESS

Young entrepreneur provides downtown gaming store Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer After building a social life around gaming, Bryton Kaufman is providing a venue for local gamers to do the same.

On Sept. 1, the 20-year-old opened Adventure Games Inc. on Second Avenue in Williams Lake, with a backroom dedicated to gaming that has been busy ever since.

“I am very into pop culture, even My Little Pony and Star Wars,” he smiled as he stopped to help two young customers in the store Friday afternoon.

“I know what I like and just hope other people do too.”

Kaufman grew up in Williams Lake and “really started” gaming when he was 16, he said.

When he entered a gaming store in Williams Lake and discovered the competitive trading card game Magic he was hooked.

He’s also obsessed with video games.

“I think they are one of the best forms of storytelling. They are a step up from movies and on par with books,” he said.

His favourite are story-based games, such as Alan Wake, a game involving a writer whose book comes to life.

The player has to solve a mystery and Kaufman likened it to

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Bryton Kaufman: owner of Adventure Games Inc. in Hodgson Mall. being in a Stephen King story.

Kaufman also likes reading, especially fantasy novels.

His latest book love is The Way Of Kings, although he said it’s sad because it’s a 10-book series and the author is publishing just two a year.

“I’ll be old before I’m finished,” he suggested.

During the month of December the store is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday evenings there are consistent Magic events, where people pay an entry fee and have a chance to win prizes.

Sunday evenings are dedicated to board games.

“People can bring one from home or choose one when they arrive,” he said.

Saturdays are dedicated to special events and two weeks ago the store hosted a Halo video game tournament.

There were 35 people with 10 machines participating.

On Dec. 12 they will host a Nintendo 64 Smash Bros. event and every Thursday at 3:45 p.m. the store has a Pokemon run.

When it comes to gaming in Williams Lake, Kaufman said it’s not as big here as in other places.

“With all the cowboys here maybe people are shy about their inner nerds,” he said. “I hope to get people out of their basements.”

Kaufman also spends the forestry season working for a silviculture company he owns with his dad.

“I drive a skidder, we work all over and, mostly in the 100 Mile House area.”

So to help him with the store, he hired friends Arlis Tippie and Sean Thomas.

On Friday Tippie was manning the till wearing large white bunny slippers. As he looked over toward Thomas who was in the gaming room, Kaufman said, “he’s a Dungeons and Dragons guy.”

“They were in charge until I finished up in the woods in November,” Kaufman said.

Now that he is fulltime at the store, his free time is pretty limited.

“When I do have time I’m researching for the store, sleeping or spending time with my girlfriend.”

Kaufman hired an Astoria, Oregon-based artist to design a logo, business cards, signs and posters for the store.

“I met him online and know him as Fredi. I’m super into art and have art on every spare wall in my home.”

The store also carries merchandise and clothing featuring favourite pop culture characters, such as the Minions, Dr. Who and Lord of the Rings.

It is also fully stocked with hard-to-find Halo lego.

ean Belliveau’s death has triggered a lot of attention, and it’s well deserved. He was not only a superb hockey player (he made it look so easy), he was a special person off the rink, too. A true hero. *** Wrestling Day has its critics, but we’ll celebrate our unique civic holiday again in 2015. When it started, way back when, most of the businesses were of the mom and pop variety and the entire town shut down for the day. That ended as the town grew French and chain stores Connection came in. WresDiana French tling Day wasn’t the “only in W i l l i a m s Lake” event. We used to have a bull throwing contest at Stampede time. This event featured local politicians and visiting dignitaries vying to see who could throw the bull (dried cow patties) the farthest. It usually made the TV news.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I think politics used to be more fun. I don’t know about our newly-elected bunch, but in the past few years our politicians have tended to take themselves pretty seriously.

Williams Lake is also one of the few B.C. cities to have a poet laureate, Frank Gleeson. We have an official flower, too, the lilac, but we share that with Merritt. *** I participated in a BC Hydro phone survey last week and had my usual problem. My answers didn’t fit the questions.

I rate the services provided by Hydro very satisfactory.

It’s the management I question. This particular Crown Corporation was a huge factor in the growth and prosperity of this province for over five decades.

In recent years, for one reason or another, it has developed problems including, but not limited to, a huge debt load, a surplus of electricity, and environmental concerns over projects like Run of the River and the proposed Site C dam.

The survey didn’t deal with those issues.

Our other former Crown jewel, BC Ferries, isn’t doing so well either.

ome may find that the holidays are a more challenging time to stay on track with finances, especially with Christmas just around the corner. It is not only during the holidays, but every day, month and year that we each continually are trying to budget our money to save, invest and plan for the future.

The government is faced with the same challenge in the global and domestic economies. Fortunately, for the past two years, our government has been able to balance the budget, MLA because B.C. has Musings demonstrated with hard work, due Coralee Oakes diligence and fiscal discipline, it is not only possible to have a balanced budget, but also forecast successive modest surpluses.

Private sector economists are forecasting B.C. to be among the strongest economies in the country over the next couple years.

B.C. remains on target to balance the 201415 Budget with a projected year-end surplus of $444 million, up by $178 million since the First Quarterly Report. B.C.’s real GDP is forecast to grow by 1.9 per cent in 2014 and 2.3 per cent in 2015, unchanged from the First Quarterly Report.

Further, the independent Economic Forecast Council projects B.C. will see stable real GDP growth of 2.3 per cent in 2014 and 2.7 per cent in both 2015 and 2016 on average, unchanged from the January 2014 forecast.

The council also projects B.C.’s real GDP will grow by an average of 2.5 per cent for the 2017-19 period.

Government will continue to exercise fiscal discipline to ensure B.C.’s budget remains balanced. Keeping the budget balanced is the first step towards a stronger economy and allows us to continue to make investments that reflect the priorities of British Columbians.

The Economic Forecast Council’s projection published with Budget 2015 will determine future potential salary increases in public sector agreements negotiated under the government’s Economic Stability.

As we move forward into the New Year, I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure that we have our third consecutive balanced budget.

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

Our Viewpoint

B.C.’s leaky roof The analogy is appropriate, but it needs to be taken a step further.

In a year-end interview with Black Press’ Tom Fletcher, Premier Christie Clark tried to compare her government’s finances to that of any household.

Repeating the words she and her finance minister spoke earlier in the week, the premier suggested a family that has rode through tough times using credit cards needs to put money on those cards when the finances improve.

She was speaking of the government’s estimated $444 million surplus and her plan to put that money toward B.C.’s debt.

We agree that is a prudent strategy. It is irresponsible to ignore the debt. It’s almost criminal to burden future governments and future generations with such a financial millstone.

However, we don’t believe the entire $400 million needs to go to paying down the debt.

Let’s continue with the premier’s fictitious family. When times are tough and you are living off credit cards, many things around the house fall into disrepair. The plumbing, the electrical, perhaps the roof.

Yes, you can get by for a while with-

out these things being fixed. They can be put off until finances improve. But when the money situation gets better, it makes sense to not only put some cash down on the credit cards, but fix the roof. A leaky and/or old roof is just going to cause more expensive problems down the road if it’s not upgraded.

The B.C. government has a bunch of leaky roofs. It’s time to take a quarter, a third or even half of that $444 million to fix some of these problems around its house.

There is no shortage of suggestions for what to do with some of this money. Ask the NDP for ideas — they are very good at spending taxpayers’ money.

When times were tougher, maybe it made sense to hike medical premiums and claw back child support payments from social assistance and disability recipients.

Perhaps it was prudent to increase ferry rates and cut some of that service. However, we are seeing some of the results of these cuts, especially in regards to the ferry service. Those measures have caused damage to the economy.

Sure, Premier Clark, pay down that credit card debt. But fix the roof first.

New book an important piece of history Editor:

A new book is in the process of being released in the Williams Lake area. This book will surely be an important historical document for the life and times of Williams Lake. The book is called, simply enough, Rudy Johnson.

At age 92 Rudy has shared in a most wonderful way, his many years of life in the Williams Lake and Cariboo area. Annie Gallant of the Quesnel Observer “Life Styles” describes Rudy as a man with a sense of adventure, with a vision for the future and a man with a very practical mind.

Rudy in his book has recorded not only his interaction in the greater community but as well his determination to accomplish what to some would

be impossible goals. For myself I would call his book a blueprint for success, that is, for anyone, striking out to achieve their life’s dreams. For Rudy nothing was impossible. Some things just took a little more effort.

Why is Rudy so important to the history of Williams Lake?

Simply speaking how many of us can lay claim to having constructed a bridge across the fast flowing Fraser River, a very permanent monument in this community that will likely, and should survive for generations.

Every person in the greater Williams Lake area should consider this bridge a very important heritage to each one of us that do make Williams Lake our home.

One of the very important things about Rudy’s book is his record of people and events

that have helped Williams Lake transit from a little cow town to the respected city that it is today. Future genealogists will absolutely love finding the name of their uncle, aunt, brother, mother, father or grand parents, and what and how these people contributed to the development of today’s Williams Lake. What is also important here is that the names are full, not just initials attached to a last name.

I would certainly urge all, if you have an opportunity, to attend a book signing and meet Rudy Johnson, to do so. I would class Rudy as a living legend; Rudy is truly a Williams Lake treasure worth spending a few minutes to get to know.

Society needs renewable energy targets to phase out fossil fuel consumption Editor: On track to reach 5C-6C by the end of this century (IEA 2011) burning fossil-fuels –– we are “locked-in” by the fossil-fuel industry.

Eight of the 11 wealthiest corporations of the world are in the fossil-fuel industry and “must” block effective climate-action.

They cannot make “legal” plans to keep fossil-fuel reserves in the ground unused/unburned ($26-29 trillion in “known” reserves).

More than enough to kill all of us, seven to 10 billion-plus).

They spend $600 billion exploring for more reserves while the government spends $600 billion to subsidize them.

They must extract.

They are “legally bound” to earn more money for “entitled” investors (Public Liability Ltd.).

Fossil-fuels must be phased out beginning 2020 by 2100 to keep below 2C (IPCC Nov. 2, 2014).

Powerful billionaires/fossilfuel multi-national corporations

Letters aLways weLcome

are spending billions to “rule” government (manufactured consent/content) to save itself from effective global climate-action.

You should care.

By 2017, the door closes from keeping global-warming below 2C (Faith Birol, Chief Economist, International Energy Agency).

Big money will sabotage and nullify the Climate Summit in Paris 2015.

Can “big” money nullify the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)?

Scientists and researchers make up the IPCC. The scientific wording is hammered out line by line by stakeholders and scientists.

The hammered IPCC report goes to politicians who decide on effective/ineffective climate-action/solutions for the world(Paris Climate Summit 2015).

Vast money rules politicians in fossil-fuel global powers (US Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts [George Bush appointee] “Citizen’s United” decision

allows the big booming voice of money [free speech] and 35 people own more wealth/income/ profit than 3.5 billion peopleUN Development Report 2014).

Big money won big in the U.S. (2014) mid-term elections.

Keystone Pipeline completion is among the fossil-fuel industry’s first priorities in the U.S. Fossil-fuel battle lines are drawn. We (90 percent of us) are sacrificial pawns and tools of that war.

Commoners aren’t allowed at the governing tables in the elite boardrooms (0.01-0.09 percent and their minions are).

We need achievable breakout Renewable Energy Targets (RET’s) to phase out fossil-fuel energy by 2100.

This isn’t our age old dream of human fulfillment: to help each other become better human beings, for achieving local/global/ peace, for living a harmonious full life for all human-beings globally.

PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months.

[Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.]

PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the conditions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

Clark on climate, clawback, credit cards in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world.

It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view?

PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

NEWS State of Local Emergency rescinded The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) rescinded the State of Local Emergency declared in Electoral Area F, the Likely Community Area Friday.

According to the CRD, the State of Local Emergency was instituted by the CRD on Aug. 5, 2014 in response to the tailings pond breach at the Mount Polley Mine site, due to concerns about the stability of the tailings plug at Polley Lake and to enable

the necessary resources to be co-ordinated and used in the protection of people’s lives, safety and welfare, and to limit damage to properties and the environment.

The order was lifted last week based on an assessment completed

by Golder Associates, that the plug is now deemed stable.

Although the Order to Restrict Access to the entire area is being removed by the CRD, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural

Resource Operations (FLNRO) orders to restrict road access from public use will remain in place.

The ministry advises that due to the continued heavy industrial traffic operating in the area during remediation, in the interests of public safety, the following roads will remain closed: Horsefly-Likely Forest Service Road (FSR) (aka “Ditch Road”) from the junction with Horsefly-Polley FSR to the Mitchell Bay

recreation site, Horsefly-Gavin FSR (aka “Gavin Road”) from the west side of Mount Polley’s operations through to the junction with the Ditch Road and the Horsefly-Polley Lake FSR in its entirety (access to Polley Lake recreation site).

In its press release, the CRD said the ministry is committed to restoring public access as soon as possible.

The CRD’s Emergency Operations Centre is now closed, said

the CRD. While the state of emergency may be lifted many challenges still face the community of Likely.

Ongoing water tests from Quesnel Lake and accounts from area residents at Likely point to lingering affects from the tailings pond breach, including turbidity readings above B.C. drinking water guidelines and levels of copper readings are chronically above acceptable aquatic guidelines.

All but three mines meet government deadline Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer All but three B.C. companies with tailing impoundments were able to meet the Dec. 1 deadline to submit independent dam safety inspection reports, the Ministry of Energy and Mines said.

Normally permitted mines are required to conduct a dam safety inspection each year, but when the tailings impoundment breached at Mount Polley Mine on Aug. 4, releasing 17 million cubic metres of water and 8 million cubic metres of tailings, Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman issued an order requiring every mining facility in the province submit reports by the deadline.

Currently there are 98 permitted tailing impoundments at 60 operating and closed metal and coal mines in the province.

“Two companies, Dankoe Mines and May Mac (Golden Dawn), did not meet the deadline,” said ministry spokesperson David Haslam. “Qualified professionals were not available to complete their reports by the deadline. These two mines requested and received extensions.”

The ministry is working with a third company, Shasta Sable Resources, to ensure they comply with the order and complete the safety inspection, he added.

“We recognize that the compressed timeframe for companies to provide these reports has

presented some challenges for the industry given that there are a limited number of engineering firms with the expertise and knowledge required to do this type of report.”

All of the reports submitted by the companies will now be reviewed by the ministry and Hatch Ltd., the company awarded a $305,000 contract to help review, to ensure consistency and compliance, work with First Nations and establish a platform to release all submissions to the public in approximately eight weeks.

Haslam said all of the inspection reports will be made public with the release of the report from the geotechnical engineers at Hatch Ltd. and as part

The field naturalists are also encouraging people with bird feeders and more adventurous walkers to join them in participating in the annual bird count Sunday.

Christmas Bird Count Sunday Phil Ranson Special to Tribune/Advisor Sunday, Dec. 14 will mark the 47th consecutive year the Williams Lake Field Naturalists have conducted the Christmas Bird Count and 115 years since the original count was undertaken in 1900.

Since that time the number of counts have grown to the current 2,300 across North and Central America.

From its inception year in 1969 until 2000, data from the Williams Lake count was submitted to the provincial government, either the Fish and Wildlife Branch or the provincial museum.

Since 2000, data has been submitted to Birds Studies Canada and the Audubon Society who jointly administer the collection and distribution of the vast array of information obtained over the Christmas period.

Since the first count in 1969, the field naturalists have recorded about 120,000 birds of 119 species on the single day census run between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5.

Numbers of birds and spe-

cies vary from year to year with a scant 21 species tallied the first year to a high count of 62 species in 2008.

Several factors play an impor-

tant role in the number of birds seen; from the numbers of observers in the field, to weather conditions on the day and in the preceding weeks.

Snow and ice conditions can determine availability and accessibility of food supply as well as variables like cone seed and berry crops.

A good fir and spruce cone crop last winter, as well as an ample supply of juniper berries resulted in a bumper year for both the fir seed eating Red Crossbills and the Townsend’s Solitaire which rely heavily on juniper berries for winter sustenance.

It was a record year for Solitaires with 85 counted which was not only the best total for this area but was also the highest on any count in Canada.

Red Crossbills which were quite common last winter have yet to be reported this season and indications are that Solitaires numbers are also down due in part to a poor berry crop.

Last year’s count of 3,953 birds of 47 species was below the 10year average of 4,200 birds of 53 species and it’s difficult to pre-

dict what will turn up on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Even with the relatively low numbers last year there were still nine species which occurred in record high numbers, many of these at bird feeders.

With the early date of this year’s count there’s always the hope there will be some open water on Williams Lake to add to the variety of birds seen.

Bird feeders attract not only our more common species but also provide us with some quite unusual birds in winter.

The Scarlet Tanager frequenting a Terra Ridge feeder on the 2012 count was a once in a lifetime occurrence.

Feeder watchers contribute greatly to the count and the field naturalists encourage everyone with a feeder to let us know what they see on count day.

The count area is a 24 kilometre circle centred in downtown Williams Lake.

For more information on the Williams Lake Christmas Bird Count please contact Phil Ranson at 250 398-7110 or ranson1@ telus.net.

The Sunday School children at The Voice of Pentecost Church will stage The Littlest Lamb Christmas Play on Sunday, Dec. 14 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

This sweet little play with a dramatic twist is a family event presented in black light and hand mime. Through the birth of the Christ Child, the littlest lamb discovers that God has a purpose for her life after all.

Rudy Johnson book signing Friday Annie Gallant Black Press Rudy Johnson is a great storyteller and he has many, many stories to tell.

In the last few years, Rudy, who still lives with his wife, Helen, in their own home, has enjoyed the company and assistance of a housekeeper Adele Hamilton who loved to look at the family’s old photographs and listen to Rudy’s stories.

“You should write a book,” she’d tell him.

Well, thanks to Adele’s repeated assertion and the recordings she made of his storytelling, along with several other family members and close friends, Rudy’s story is finally in print.

Simply titled Rudy Johnson, the book is a marvellous record of not only his personal journey from the time he was born in 1922, his arrival in Canada, his early years and fi-

Rudy Johnson at a book signing in Quesnel. nally his move to the Cariboo in 1947 and all the adventures he’s had in 92 years of living, but also chronicles the development of specifically the Williams Lake area but also Cariboo North.

Rudy admits he’s kept a journal of his life since about age 13 but also admitted he’d lost most of them.

“I was busy with a lot of things and moved around a lot, so the journals would get lost or destroyed, I never imagined I’d write a book,” Rudy said.

His son Randy became the custodian of Adele’s recordings and with the help of his wife, Donna, the job of sorting through and forming a book began.

From the first time he watched a logging operation in the Lower Mainland after arriving from Sweden, Rudy knew he wanted to be a logger. The allure of life in the Cariboo and the tremendous logging opportunities drew this ambitious, tenacious and very hard-working man, his wife and their growing family to the Williams Lake area.

Through the pages of the book, Rudy’s story is revealed and the public is provided a glimpse at the events, activities, businesses and forward-thinking which shaped his actions and choices.

“When I came here in 1947 I saw lots of good timber, a nice climate and a good place to live,” Rudy said. “Helen and I had come here hunting before moving here and the family adapted to life in the Cariboo very well.”

Rudy was a pilot, a prospector, a sawmill owner, a rancher as well as the force behind the construction of the Rudy Johnson bridge across the Fraser River which he completed in 1968.

Of all his many accomplishments, Rudy says building the bridge was his most notable. The government’s bridge engineer told him it couldn’t be done and that was the incentive for Rudy to prove him wrong.

He purchased a redundant bridge in Alaska, had it shipped first by water to Prince Rupert, then by train to Prince George

and finally by several trucks to the site. Rudy, who was by this time quite skilled at figuring out how to accomplish what he needed done, drafted up plans for the construction of the foundation for the bridge and how he would span the Fraser River. With the help of a friend who was an engineer, Rudy was granted permission to construct the bridge.

“One whole wall in the bedroom was covered in drawings of what I wanted to do in building the bridge,” Rudy said. “The engineer looked them over and said he wouldn’t change a thing and agreed my plans would work.

“It was six months from when the bridge arrived on site to completion. We had a fourman crew and myself.”

A few years after completion, Rudy sold the bridge to the government and it is still in use today.

The family often drives out to admire the bridge. People are astounded to meet the man who built it.

At 92, Rudy is far from idle. Although he’s given up most of his businesses (and there were a lot of them), his mind is still very active.

About four years ago he put forth his proposal for an alternate route down into the Bella Coola Valley which would have reduced the current 18 per cent grade on the existing road to a six per cent grade on his proposed route and would cut off about 20 – 25 miles. Rudy also suggested a pipeline

route, straight west from Prince George to Bella Coola which would have cut off about 150 miles of other proposed routes.

“Bella Coola has all the elements of a great deep sea port with better in and out access than Prince Rupert,” Rudy said.

“I’ve talked to several ferry pilots and they agree its a perfect outlet to the Pacific Ocean.

“There’s projects I keep telling the village (Williams Lake) about things they should be thinking about but they don’t think far enough ahead.”

Together with his still very active wife Helen, Rudy continues to see so much untapped potential and beauty in the Cariboo.

The couple will celebrate 72 years of marriage this year.

“It’s been a great partnership for all that time,” Rudy said.

To meet the author, visit the Tourism Discovery Centre in Williams Lake Friday, Dec. 12 between noon and 3 p.m. where Rudy will be selling, signing and speaking about his book titled Rudy Johnson and looks forward to meeting people in Williams Lake, many of whom have connections to many of the places and businesses named in the book.

Johnson will also have a book signing at the Station House Gallery from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20.

Copies of the book are also available by e-mailing Randy Johnson at dcp_mcwynd@ shaw.ca.

The Cariboo Memorial Hospital Auxiliary volunteers have had another successful year of fundraising, says society president Judy Newbery.

“Through these efforts the auxiliary has purchased equipment for Cariboo Memorial Hospital valued at more than $14,000,” Newbery says.

Purchases include an IV fluid warmer for the operating room, mobile floor mounted LED examination light for the obstetrics department. Purchases also include two deluxe phlebotomy carts and an eppendorf centrifuge for the lab department.

Funds are raised through silent auc-

tions, bake sales, the convenience cart, flower deliveries to patients, raffles and the auxiliary’s hospital gift shop.

“The gift shop has a wonderful variety of products, including many homemade items made and donated by volunteers, whose talents and generosity are greatly appreciated,” Newbery says.

She invites people looking for Christmas gifts to drop by the shop to check out the merchandise Monday through Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m.

Newbery says the auxiliary celebrated 91 years of service to the hospital this year and is currently looking for volunteers to work in the gift shop and on

The 2015 model year vehicles are rolling into dealerships, with just a few stragglers set for later arrival in the New Year. This week, the Driveway team takes a look at what’s new, in print and online at drivewaycanada.ca, starting with our chief test driver Zack Spencer.

Jeep Renegade Mazda M azd d MX-5

Honda HR-V

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata).

Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too.

The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power The standard models will be available with front-wheelthis lightweight car and power will go to the rear drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine automatic transmission. output has not been announced, neither has the price, Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is marbut expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep model on price. styling cues.

Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market.

This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.”

General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number.

The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

Question of the Week Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

“Winning an event and eventually a series is still on the table and another goal of ours, but we have some work to do to make that happen and we will use this round to further identify what that will require from us to achieve it.”

He added the biggest issue he’ll address heading in to the next WRWSS tournament will be consistency and the ability to stay within the game plan.

“We need to become clinical against the top sides and not panic and try to recover a score by forcing play we’re not fully prepared to execute on,” Tai said.

With it being an Olympic-qualifying year the third-place result is a good one for Moleschi and Canada.

The top four teams at the end of the season will automatically qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Williams Lake’s Kayla Moleschi and her Canada Women’s Sevens Rugby Teammates captured third place last Thursday at the Dubai Sevens after a thrilling 10-5 win versus France in extra time.

It was Canada’s fourth straight thirdplace finish at World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series tournament.

Earlier in the day Canada dominated its North American rivals, the U.S., 36-0, in the quarterfinals, however, lost to Australia 29-7 in the semifinals.

“We executed across the board in the quarterfinal and never let a much-improved U.S. into the game,” said Canadian head coach John Tait.

“It was a great response from the entire team after a tough but deserved result losing to England in the last of the pool matches.”

Moleschi contributed a try versus the U.S., and scored one of Canada’s only two scores

JUST WHAT THE DOCTORS ORDERED Out of challenge comes opportunity and at Selkirk College the Rural Pre-Medicine Program is taking on the problem of a physician shortage outside urban areas by opening the door for students who desire to follow a pathway towards a career in medicine well suited for rural Canada.

Finding Solutions to the Rural Doctor Crisis The story of the Selkirk College Rural PreMedicine Program is the story of why community colleges are vital to Canada’s education system.

Its genesis arrived through a need to fill a critical gap with creative solutions and tangible outcomes, a model that is now playing out in the classrooms of the Castlegar Campus in British Columbia’s Southern Interior.

The three-year Rural Pre-Medicine Program launched in September with its first cohort of 17 eager students. With passionate mentors and dedicated instructors, the program aims to build a foundation of experience and knowledge students will need to prepare for entrance into medical school.

“If you come from a rural area, you are among those most likely to go back to a rural area,” says Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund. “If you want to populate the rural areas with physicians, you need to provide the proper education to students who live in rural areas and have a strong desire to get into medical school.”

The curriculum in the Rural Pre-Medicine Program weaves together courses tailored to rural medicine with courses recommended for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT).

Extra training in skills such as mediation and conflict resolution, leadership, communication and interprofessional skills, small business training and MCAT preparation supports students’ futures as physicians and their medical school applications.

“People understand that this is something that can form one piece of a really long term solution to a big problem,” says Lund. “This is not a problem for doctors or the government, really this is a problem in our society across Canada where there is a big difference between rural and urban.”

RURAL PRE-MEDICINE

If you want to populate the rural areas with physicians, you need to provide the proper education to students who live in rural areas and have a strong desire to get into medical school.

ELIZABETH LUND, RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM COORDINATOR, SELKIRK COLLEGE

Helping Solve the Problem of a Growing Need The mounting challenges with health care in rural Canada have gained traction in the media over the last few years. With shrinking government budgets, an aging population and societal shifts forming the basis of these struggles, more attention has been focussed on the gap between urban and rural.

Three years ago, Lund and her colleagues in the Selkirk College School of University Arts & Sciences were looking for ways to bolster second year sciences at the Castlegar Campus.

A story on CBC radio about the doctor shortage in rural British Columbia triggered the idea for a program that would help address the need with homegrown solutions.

Lund was charged with putting together the proposal and soliciting support. For almost two years Lund put her skills in research and passion for education to the test as she approached senior levels of government, the Doctors of BC, local physicians, the University of British Columbia and anybody else that would listen.

“There was a lot of pounding the pavement… I had to become a salesperson,” says Lund, who holds a PhD in Chemistry. “That’s the last thing I thought I would ever do, but I was selling something that I totally believe in.

It ceases to be selling and becomes talking to people to let them know what we want to do.”

selkirk.ca/rural-pre-medicine

The First Cohort a Brilliant Example of What is Possible On a sunny late-September afternoon in Castlegar, Selkirk College administration joined representatives from the Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health and health care professionals from around the Kootenay region for a special reception to welcome the first Rural Pre-Medicine cohort to the program. With a class made up of diverse backgrounds that range from recent high school grads to single mothers who have been away from post-secondary for more than a decade, there was a buzz in the air.

“I have a vision of some of the graduates of this program not only making it into medical school, but also being really grounded and solid people,” said Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital physician Dr. Blair Stanley, chair of the program’s advisory committee. “Not only because of their rural roots, but because of some of the learnings they will have had in this unique program. They will bring that groundedness and can bring that awareness into their clinical setting when they are looking after patients. I think that will be a magical connection that they will have with patients and the work they do.”

A visit to a Friday afternoon chemistry lab is further proof that the cohort model and small classroom environment is already paying dividends. Three months into their education journey at Selkirk College, students work together with a spirit more often found with the cohesiveness of a sports team rather than the individualistic competitive pursuit of entrance into medical school.

“You can see already that the students in this program are going do something and they are going to do something great… It’s already a success,” says Lund. “I’m really proud of these students and very excited about the opportunities for them in the future. Whether they end up choosing medicine or another health field or something else completely different in science, this is where it starts.”

Alicia Pongracz (top) and Jaeger Nickson (bottom left) are students in the first Rural Pre-Medicine Program cohort that is diligently building skills on the Castlegar Campus. With a diverse background and intimate understanding of the challenges faced by students in smaller communities, Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund (bottom right) is the motivating presence behind Selkirk College’s push to bolster the numbers of rural doctors.
