RCMP seize drugs and cash from home Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The RCMP said they seized a large amount of drugs and cash from a Williams Lake residence Monday evening.

At 7:30 p.m., Dec. 15, RCMP general duty members, along with the general investigation unit and police dog section, collectively executed a search warrant at a home, located in the 500 block of Pinchbeck Street,

Sgt. Rick LeBeuf told the Tribune Tuesday.

“There was suspected cocaine, marijuana and Psilocybin [magic] mushrooms,” LeBeuf said, adding the cash amount seized was “substantial.”

The “suspected” cocaine has yet to be analyzed in the lab.

Three individuals were arrested and later released from custody with an upcoming court date, LeBeuf said, adding all three were known to police.

NEWS

Home invasion Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The RCMP are looking for two armed home invasion suspects who locked a woman and four small children in the bathroom of a Carson Drive residence in Williams Lake.

The incident took place on Saturday, Nov. 15 at approximately 7:30 p.m.

“Her common-law husband came home and found them locked in,” Corp. Jason Pole said.

“When the suspects demanded money and learned there was none in the home, they tied a cable or something to

the bathroom door.”

Pole said the woman didn’t see the men’s faces because they were disguised with bandanas, however, she described them as First Nations males, with average build, and approximately five feet 10 inches tall, although one was a little stockier than the other.

One of the suspects called the other “Pee Wee.” “It’s a very serious incident,” Pole said.

“One was armed with a firearm and the other one had a knife.”

There were no injuries, however, the RCMP continue to

support the victims.

“The children were all under the age of 11,” Pole said.

“When the woman opened the door, she was expecting legitimate visitors and they just forced their way through.”

It is believed the home invasion was targeted and drugrelated, and that the suspects may have entered the wrong residence.

Anyone with information related to the offence is asked to contact the RCMP (250-392-6211) and request to speak with the general investigation section or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Dutch Point debate re-opened Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer At Tuesday evening’s regular meeting new councillors Scott Nelson, Jason Ryll and Craig Smith were expected to ask council to rescind the previous council’s Nov. 4 decision to close vehicle access to the Dutch Point Road boat launch.

During his election campaign, Nelson promised he would bring the motion back on the table for reconsideration.

“There were three or four people wanting it closed and 300 to 400 people wanting it re-opened,” Nelson said.

“It was a contentious point to close it and it upset a lot of people.”

In their motion,

the three councillors also asked city staff to look at options for creating additional boat accesses to Williams Lake and to prepare a cost estimate for additional accesses for consideration in the 2015 budget.

“There’s a lot of work to be done on this, but as a community that lives on a lake it’s simply foolish as a policy to close off all accesses you’ve got for people to get on the lake,” Scott said.

“The city doesn’t own Scout Island and does not control the boat access there.”

Dutch Point Road resident Marilyn Haines, however, said Tuesday that she and the other residents living on the road

brought safety concerns to city council almost one year ago.

“It is a single lane gravel road,” she said.

“If trucks and cars are parked along there and there is a house fire, the fire trucks wouldn’t be able to come down the road.”

Haines warned if the city re-opens the vehicle access to the boat launch after citizens have brought safety concerns to its attention, the city could possibly be liable if something did go wrong.

“Williams Lake needs a boat access area that’s large enough for a safe boat launch, garbage and washroom facilities and room for lots of safe parking,” Haines said.

Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association president Moe Monita (left) and Chilcotin Guns owner Al Bush (right) support the efforts of Dan Simmons (centre), who has initiated a cow moose sign project in an effort to bring attention to the challenges currently facing the moose population in hunting Region 5.

A sign of the times for moose populations Angie Mindus Staff Writer An outdoorsman all his life, local resident Dan Simmons is putting pen to paper these days in an effort to shine some light on the decline of moose populations in hunting Region 5.

“The moose population is going down, down, down fast and it’s been going on for a long time,” Simmons said.

“I’m not trying to point the finger at anyone but I want to know what is being done about it.”

Compelled by hunter accounts this fall of a lack of moose in

the Moffat Creek area where he hunted and guided with his father Charlie, Simmons launched the Cow Moose Sign Project earlier this month.

The sign depicts a cow moose and asks the public to “Please respect the cow moose.

She is necessary for a healthy future moose population.”

He hopes the signs will discourage hunters and poachers from targeting antlerless moose, which he believes are vital in achieving and maintaining a healthy moose population.

As well as the signs, which Simmons hopes to see displayed in var-

ious businesses around the Cariboo Chilcotin, Simmons has also created brochures explaining the Cow Moose Sign Project and the implications of shooting a cow moose.

In just the first few weeks since he launched the project, Simmons said he’s received a great response from business owners, clubs and private citizens wanting to sponsor the signs.

“I’m very pleased with the response,” he said.

Next up for Simmons is a letter writing campaign in which he hopes to capture the attention of local and

provincial leaders regarding the declining moose population.

“Everybody is worried and wondering what is being done. I’m worried as well,” he said. “I’d like to know what is happening.”

In the spring of 2012 the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations reported a steep decline in moose populations in the Cariboo and Omineca regions.

During that time the government also announced initiatives to determine the cause of the decline and indicated future measures may be needed to protect the animals.

Electronic-cigarettes will join regular cigarettes and smokeless tobacco in being banned for use on school property in School District 27.

“Adding electronic cigarettes to the smoking ban on all school properties had been recommended by the Interior Health medical health officers due to the unknown effects and lack of regulations for e-cigarettes,” says Superintendent Mark Thiessen.

He says the recommended change was reviewed by the board’s business committee and posed as a question on the district’s website for public input.

No public input was received by the Nov. 20 deadline and the board made the decision to ban the electronic-cigarettes during the regular board

meeting Nov. 25.

In reviewing the issue Thiessen said the secondary school principals had noticed that an increasing number of students were beginning to use e-cigarettes.

“While efforts were being made by individual school principals to ban the use of e-cigarettes in their schools, they were appreciative of policy changes made by the board to make these expectations consistent across the district,” Thiessen says.

According to a May report from Interior Health there has been a recent surge in the popularity of electronic cigarettes, particularly among youth.

The report says that in 2009 Health Canada advised Canadians not to use e-cigarettes and Interior Health’s medical health officers are recommending that all school districts prohibit

e-cigarettes and that municipalities include ecigarettes in their smokefree bylaws.

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigs, epipes, e-cigars, e-hookah and hookah pens, typically have three components, the report explains.

The cartridge may contain propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavourings, additives, water, nicotine and additional toxic compounds.

The atomizer heats the liquid and creates vapour. The battery powers the atomizer and indicator light.

The report also states e-cigarettes containing nicotine are illegal for sale in Canada, however, they are readily available.

Most look like conventional cigarettes/ cigarillos and are popular because they deliver a nicotine dose similar to cigarettes, are less expensive than cigarettes, are being aggressively marketed by big tobacco and their use is currently unrestricted.

There are safety concerns for users and others exposed to e-cigarette vapour (including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and quest).

There is also little evidence related to their effectiveness as an aid to quitting smoking, the report maintains.

We wish all our friends and relatives in Williams Lake and surrounding areas a very Merry Xmas and a prosperous 2015!

Salvation Army food bank co-ordinator Sabrina Silvey said a flood in the basement of the community services building means the basement is out of commission for at least two months.

Salvation Army recovers from flood damage Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Staff and clients are making big adjustments after the Salvation Army’s community services building on Borland Street suffered a flood in the basement on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

“We got here [last] Tuesday morning and the water was everywhere” said Sabrina Silvey, the SA’s food bank co-ordinator.

“The water was up to our ankles. It took nine hours to suck the water out.”

When temperatures in Williams Lake dipped to the minus

20s a few weeks ago, a pipe in the ceiling that takes water to the ground froze.

Then when it began warming the frozen pipe burst and released the water into the basement.

As she pointed to chunks of drywall on the floor and furniture piled in stacks throughout the basement, Silvey said the construction company they’ve hired to renovate estimated it will be at least two months before the basement is usable again.

“We lost computers and all of the furniture will have to be

thrown out because it was water logged.”

While the upstairs is dedicated to the food bank and the soup kitchen, the lower level normally houses the drop-in centre, which is always very busy, an exercise room, a big area for doing arts and crafts, and some counselling offices.

“That’s why we’re up here in the soup kitchen,” Kirsten Stark from the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy said Friday afternoon.

“We are having an impromptu Christmas Card making craft session because

we cannot be downstairs.”

Shaking her head, crafter Ester Hill said most of the craft supplies were ruined in the flood.

While the flood was pretty devastating and came at a time when the Salvation Army is already busy with its Christmas campaign, there was at least one blessing according to Silvey.

“Normally we have all the toys down here getting them ready for Christmas, but all that was across the street in the our other building,” Silvey said.

his last weekend was a hockey time for me, watching three family small fry on the ice.

I spent mega hours at the old arena when we had five boys in the minor hockey, all different teams.

I even served on the executive. None of the grandchildren played hockey, they were ball players, so we skipped a generation.

Now GGD#2 (five years old) plays at Total Ice Training Centre, GGSs #1 and #2 at the complex. I do the later games, nothing before 11 a.m. Did the 6 a.m. shifts once and that’s enough for a lifetime.

Nothing much has changed as far as the games go except there are girls on the teams now and the equipment looks to be more expensive.

At this beginning stage, the French players look like Connection little bees buzzing Diana French around the rink.

Falling down (often group falls) is an integral part of the proceedings, but up they get and away they go.

A highlight for GGD is that she “touched the puck” with her stick.

I’m impressed with the Total Ice Training Centre, where she skates. There obviously was a need for another skating facility, and by the look of it, it’s filling that need well. *** The sudden snow melt last week has everybody discombobulated. No one can recall so much snow disappearing so quickly at this time of year. Then all that green grass appeared. Whenever we have a cold spell, climate change deniers are quick to snort about global warming.

Haven’t heard any comments about the current state of affairs.

Who remembers when almost every family in town had a skating rink in their back yard? Most schools had one too and there was the big community rink in Kiwanis Park.

They disappeared when winters got warmer and the ice wouldn’t last long enough to justify the work involved in making them. Farmer’s Almanac predicts a mild winter. We’ll see.

Angela Sommer of Angelkeys Music Studio offers support to student Katie Croswell as she performs for guests during the Christmas Wish breakfast hosted by The Ramada and Child Development Centre Tuesday morning. The event was the ninth annual and sees volunteers serving breakfast for cash and toy donations for children in need.

Our Viewpoint

Food and Toy Drive a success The Tribune/Weekend Advisor’s annual Food and Toy Drive was another huge success last Saturday.

In two-and-a-half hours a steady stream of people brought toys and gifts for children and teens and bags of non-perishable food to help the Salvation Army make Christmas a little brighter for families in need this year.

Three Cariboo GM trucks loaned for the occasion were filled to capacity.

And with help from the Williams Lake Midget Rep Timberwolves the donations were unloaded at the Salvation Army where they will be distributed to families in need.

Tribune/Weekend Advisor publisher Kathy McLean said she was touched by the support the citizens of Williams Lake gave to the annual food and toy drive and the

generosity of our local business community in supporting the event.

In exchange for donations, people take an envelope off our tree which is exchanged for a gift donated by a local business.

The prize envelopes on our Christmas tree this year included gift certificates donated by no less than 47 local businesses.

All donors also had the opportunity to enter a draw for one of five major prizes donated by local businesses as grand prize sponsors.

“When it comes to supporting local charities the community of Williams Lake has always been so generous,” McLean says.

For a list of grand prize winners see Friday’s Weekend Advisor.

or many people, the holidays are time of year to give thanks for the things we each have, and to give to those less fortunate.

Most charities and non-profits could use a hand any time of year, but the holidays especially are very special time to not only count our blessings but also share them with others.

Thank you to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre and others who joined together to bring joy to children and families who find this Christmas season challenging.

I was thankful to attend the 9th Annual Christmas Wish Breakfast held yesterday morning at the Ramada Hotel.

MLA The Christmas Musings Wish Breakfast Donna Barnett Buffet was a wonderful opportunity for businesses, friends and family to join together to make Christmas special for underprivileged children and families with a meaningful and dignified holidays experience, by donations of new and unwrapped toys and gifts while enjoying breakfast together.

In the fall, the Cariboo-Chilcotin Child Development Centre celebrated four generations of providing services and support towards services and community events that enhance the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of children and their families.

The Child Development Centre’s passion to make a difference in the lives of children isn’t limited to Christmas.

I am pleased to know that more recently, funding through the organization is also supporting a project that will go a long way in helping meet the needs of autistic people in Williams Lake through the development and operation of the Autism Centre for Excellence.

I wish a very Merry Christmas to all and a healthy and happy new year.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Industrial development committee needed Editor: A new mayor and council should be an important turning point for the community of Williams Lake.

The previous mayor and council did a good job in attracting more retail outlets up in the Walmart, Prosperity Ridge development, and they should be congratulated for that.

Williams Lake is attracting shoppers from east, west, north and south, and that is good for the city, make no mistake about that.

Note, I said for the community of Williams Lake.

While Williams Lake’s city boundaries are tightly limited, a greater area is where probably close to 60 per cent of the population now resides and shops in Williams Lake.

If the greater Williams Lake is going to construct a better foundation for the future, the City of Williams Lake, the new mayor and

council working with the Cariboo Regional District need to focus on attracting industry to Williams Lake.

Seriously the city and the CRD need to make this a priority.

The only way we can fill empty spaces in our downtown core is to strengthen our economic base. People in the tourist industry are doing a great job, however, much of this is seasonal.

A strong industrial base has to be the solution; from small manufacturing to really large projects, could enhance the city and the greater area’s economic foundation.

What is not necessary is paying some high-falluting professional advisory group to come to Williams Lake. Every time we hire these kinds of groups they definitely come with a very high sticker price.

I think, what is more important here, on a local level is that a combination of a city and CRD indus-

trial development committee be formed.

A gung ho committee, I think, could be tasked with finding things that would fit into our Williams Lake and area lifestyle.

Individuals in such a determined committee might spend a few hours on the computer to possibly learn what is out there.

Right now a major part of Williams Lake industrial base is wood oriented; as this base retracts Williams Lake will continue to suffer.

I would think in this world there are products that could be manufactured right here in Williams Lake that could take our current wood base to another level, not that a committee should be tasked with just researching only wood based products, while looking to bring new manufacturing strategies to Williams Lake.

Dutch Point access should remain closed Editor: Dear mayor and council: I understand that you are considering re-opening the Dutch Point Road Public Access to vehicular traffic. I would caution you not to do that.

Until recently, council had never dealt with this issue which probably reduced its liability should an accident happen at that intersection (Dutch Point Road and public access). If council goes on record

as endorsing and encouraging vehicular traffic at that access it will be liable if any accident occurs.

Council needs to have a safety inspection of the intersection and an assessment that supports vehicular use of the public access before proceeding. I believe that to expose the taxpayers to this sort of unnecessary liability would be very unfortunate.

On a related matter, I understand there are thoughts of developing further boat launches.

Before proceeding in that direction I suggest council conduct an environmental assessment of the lake’s viability in relation to motorized vehicles. I suspect it’s a lake at risk and perhaps banning motorized vehicles should be considered.

There are lots of environmentally friendly ways to use this lake and those ideas should be considered as an alternative.

I was having coffee with a friend at the Bean Counter when a young man, overhearing our conversation that it was my birthday, gave me a gift card, saying simply “Happy Birthday.” Ten minutes later, another gentleman pushed some money into my hand, saying “Buy yourself something nice for Christmas.” Wow. What a special community we live in. You two gentlemen made my special day really special. Thank you.

clothing to individuals and families in need.

I have known the caretakers of the lodge for many years, or shall I say they have known me for many years. I can only begin to appreciate the work they do and have done for the surrounding First Nation communities and the homeless for many, many years. The late Sarah Spring Stump showed me the unconditional love she had for the Lord and how until the end she gave, and gave until she could give no more. Today, her husband, daughter and volunteer directors and staff continue to give and seek donations for individuals in need.

Thank you Abraham’s Lodge, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year!

A short but sweet December memory of mine is a tale my mom told me about Christmas shopping with my then three-year old son. When she told me what had happened, she was laughing and finished her story with “think we’re reading him too many of those stories?”

In December, there are many things around to remind kids that shopping is the order of the day, every day. My son, not really sure exactly what it was, said he wanted to go shopping.

Christmas in a kidsized, beige trench coat with brown pants and a small Fedora-type hat, his small darkrimmed eyeglasses and red scarf, my son and mom went out to do some shopping.

Mom had not had a three-year-old shopping with her for many years so she had forgot-

watched him for a few minutes and suspected my son was lost so she took him to the mall administration office.

By this time, my mom had noticed he was missing and was searching frantically.

She was very glad to hear the announcement that there was a small boy in the office who told them his grandmother was lost (apparently, he was sure it wasn’t him who was lost).

When my mom walked into the mall office, the staff were standing around him, smiling, as he paced

back and forth, hands behind his back, head down and quietly saying over and over Winnie the Pooh’s best problem-solving mantra “Dear me, dear me.

What to do, what to do ...” and “think, think, think,” just like his favourite wise book bear!

I was glad everything turned out well, that my son had found a strategy to stay calm and I learned a new benefit of reading good books to young people.

The mall was alive for the season with decorations, music and people.

It was just my child’s type of wonderland — people, shiny things everywhere, people to talk to, lights flashing and, of course people — getting more and more interested, by the way, in the miniature Columbo wandering around alone looking worried, young brows seriously furrowed and mumbling to himself!

provements over recent years, more remains to be done. The second wrong is that the Supreme Court of Canada now enables a new layer of government in B.C. The old adage that “there’s only one taxpayer” could, with Nisga’a concurrence remain a truism.

It’s based on the realization that whether for services provided by local, provincial or federal governments, most voters and elected leaders have long recognized that it’s the voting taxpayer who, over time, determines both government funding levels and program priorities.

Historical antipathy between First Nation, local, provincial and federal agencies indicates a need for strong but flexible leadership at all four governmental levels.

In seeking a comprehensive governmental rebalancing, we’ll hopefully avoid historically based emotional rhetoric supporting retributive rationale if we’re to minimize costly, confrontational negotiations. In B.C., our often-envied Canadian cultural mosaic is at risk of becoming a dysfunctional and tattered societal quilt.

Salvation Army transitions from hampers to gift cards Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Salvation Army’s decision to provide people with gift cards to buy groceries during this year’s Christmas Hamper Campaign is all about giving them dignity, said Capt.

Ben Lippers of the SA in Williams Lake.

“If you talk to the people who actually have families, they prefer it that way.

Singles don’t like it maybe because they don’t get as much, but they can come over and have a Christmas dinner with us on Christmas Day.” When the SA packs up turkeys, and all the trimmings, clients walk out the door with the items in a box and can’t hide the fact they have asked for help, Lippers said.

“People are coming into a building asking for help and in some cases they don’t want the world to know they are hurting.

“With the gift cards they can go to the store like anybody else and they can buy their groceries.”

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.

They will be cooked and served on Christmas Day at the SA Christmas dinner and into the new year for meals served at the soup kitchen.

This is the first year Lippers and his wife Capt. Isobel Lippers are spear-

heading the S.A.’s Christmas efforts in Williams Lake.

The couple moved to Williams Lake early in 2014.

Giving gifts cards at Christmas is a practice many SAs are transitioning to across Canada, Lippers said.

“Critics say recipients can go sell the gift cards for addictions but you know, they can sell a Christmas hamper and I’ve seen that done.”

Even the toys for children’s presents are given out at the SA church across the street from the community services building.

That way people walking out with toys in a bag could very well have been shopping at the thrift store and no one would know anything different, Lippers said.

This year the demand for hampers is up by 40 per cent from 2013 as 410 adults have applied so food help.

“We’ve sent out letters to our usual donors and are just waiting to hear back,” Lippers said.

“All we can do is pray for a good response.”

The Williams Lake T r i b u n e / We e k e n d Advisor and Canadian Tire host the Spirit of Giving Tree, where customers can pull a card from the tree at Canadian Tire and purchase a gift for a boy or girl of a specific age. A total of 159 children and teens are on the Salvation Army’s list for Christmas gifts this year.

Warm clothing drive

Gaeil Farrar photos

Conducted by Laura Eilers the Lake City Secondary School Tour Band, performing above at their Christmas Concert Extraordinaire 2014, is preparing for a musical tour they will take to Italy and Austria during spring break 2015.

Skills sharpened playing with the masters Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Christmas Concert Extraordinaire 2014 brought four band groups together for a rousing evening of entertainment Thursday evening, Dec. 11 at the Lake City Secondary School’s Williams Lake campus.

The LCSS Jazz and Tour bands joined with the Williams Lake Community Band and Tuba John Brass Band for individual performances and then all got together at the end of the concert for a rousing send-off to the holiday season with Sleigh Ride.

The mixed rock/blues/folk band Lauren and the Yahoos played a selection of songs as the audience gathered in the hall and opened the show with Down in the Valley and The Head and the Heart.

The groups played Christmas songs such as The First Noel, A Mariah Carey Christmas, Bells of Christmas, Carol of the Night, and other popular songs such as Louie, Louie, Sentido, Themes from Halo, and classics such as Second Suite in F. In each set some of the students and Community Band members were highlighted with solos. As their teacher and conductor Laura Eilers pointed out, the jazz band students create their own solos without written music.

Solos in the jazz band set were performed by James Still, Lara Silkstone, Clayton Charleyboy, Cosmo Brunsch, and Mackenzie Howse.

Community Band solos were performed by Steve Oliver and Mark Hamm, Ingolf Sandberg, and Harry Jennings who sang Merry Christmas Pretty Baby as Elvis.

Tour band solos were performed

by Noona Rill, Gabster Lachapelle, Nicole Curbello, Mackenzie Howse, Jaylyn Johnson, Cosmo Brunsch, Nicole Curbello, and Amanda Yonkman.

Sutton-Cariboo Realty is hosting a warm and fuzzy open house all this week to collect warm clothing for people in need this winter.

Donations of gently used coats, boots, gloves, toques and blankets for children and adults can be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. this week at Sutton-Cariboo Realty located at 232 B North Third Avenue.

Visitors can also drop off nonperishable food items and new toys and gifts for children and teens that will be distributed by the Salvation Army as part of its annual Christmas cheer program.

Warm Glow concert The Williams Lake SDA Church is hosting The Warm Glow of Christmas Concert on Saturday, Dec. 20 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Adventist Church at 782 Ninth Avenue North. For more information call 250-398-5642.

Tuesday, Dec. 23 Senior students played with the Tuba John Brass group during the concert. James Still (left), Tavish Wherley, Ingolf Sandberg, Mackenzie Howse, Murray Hoffman, and Vanessa Toews were among the trumpet section.

“The Christmas concert is a great opportunity for students to listen to and perform along side and with other musicians,” says teacher and conductor Laura Eilers.

“I always encourage my students to try new things and to go outside of their comfort zone; especially in Jazz Band where they make up their own solos.”

This year, because the secondary Winter Formal was held the same night as Tuba John Christmas, Eilers and Rocco Catalano made sure that students graduating this year had one last opportunity to take part in a mini Tuba John Christmas during the LCSS Christmas Concert.

“Many of them had the opportunity to play with Tuba John (the late John Sykes) over the years and value what he has done for the music community in Williams Lake,” Eilers said. In the program several Community Band members were thanked for the extra help they provided to the band students.

Murray Hoffman came in to play with and inspire the trumpet section of the Tour Band.

Willa Julius is among the tuba players.

Rocco Catalano arranged for senior band students to play with the Tuba John Christmas Concert with Friends held Tuesday. Dec. 9 at St. Andrew’s United Church.

Thanks was also extended to members of the Cariboo Gold

Dance Band who helped to fill in the Jazz Band.

The musical evening was provided by donation for the band program.

During Spring Break 2015, Eilers says the Tour Band will be traveling to Austria and Italy.

“I have 20 students who are going and rehearsals have already started so we can have the music ready by the time we leave on March 5,” Eilers says.

“During our time abroad we will be performing at least three times in different cities. They are all excited to be going and to be representing Lake City Secondary School and Williams Lake.”

Eilers says some of the songs they will be playing on their European tour are The Sound of Music, Encanto and Air for Band.

“These students work really hard and I am very happy with the work they have put in, not just with practicing, but all the fundraising we have done and will continue to do to make sure the students have the opportunity to take part in such an amazing opportunity,” Eilers says.

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

Sponsored by Canadian Tire, the Williams Lake Tribune/ Weekend Advisor, and the Salvation Army the giving tree has tags on it for a boy or girl and their age who are in need this Christmas.

Gifts can be dropped off with the tag at the Salvation Army’s donation box next to the service counter until Tuesday, Dec. 23.

Hank Unrau is lovingly remembered Frank (Hank) Unrau was born on the family farm near Mayfair, Sask. on Feb. 12, 1936.

He was the second youngest of eight children born to John and Sara (Dyck) Unrau.

In 1939 the family moved to a farm at Ryder Lake near Chilliwack, B.C. At the age of 14, Hank was working for his dad in high lead logging.

He was driving a logging truck down the mountains near Hope before he was old enough for a driver’s license.

Hank’s mother passed away in 1950 and Hank left home with $5 in his pocket and hitchhiked to Lac La Hache.

Here he got a job driving cast for Fircrest Sawmills.

When he was just 17, he was asked by an automotive dealer in Chilliwack to pick up a new truck at the factory.

With $25 in his pocket and a gas credit card, he took the train to Detroit via Toronto.

Frank (Hank) Unrau Hank picked up the truck and drove back in four days. For this adventure he received $40.

In the next few years he worked for various sawmills in the Cariboo including Konke Bros.

Hank got a job with Armes Bros. Agencies delivering soft drinks and grain.

This is when he met his future wife, Dorothy Armes. They were married Oct. 15, 1955.

Hank worked for a short time for Pinette and Therrien Sawmills.

This was to be his last employment for wages.

From then on he was in business for himself.

He purchased his

first lumber truck and hauled for local sawmills. A second truck followed and he named his company Unrau Trucking.

In the ensuing years, Hank and Dorothy had four children, Delores, Douglas, Rodney and Kenneth.

In 1967 the family moved to Quesnel where Hank went into partnership with Mack brothers logging. He operated Unimac Carriers, managing and maintaining six logging trucks. In 1974 he sold the trucks and purchased a ranch on West Quesnel Road.

After a year Hank decided that this was not going to be a profitable venture and he was not happy making hay, feeding the cattle and selling them at a

loss.

The family moved to Salmon Arm and he joined his brother-inlaw in the drilling business. They eventually built the company up to five drilling rigs.

In 1978, daughter Delores had graduated from Olds College and married Brian Lineman who had a farm in Milk River, Alberta.

Doug married Laura Patridge from Salmon Arm and they have two children, Heather (Hill) and Andrew.

Rod married Sheryle Redman also from Salmon Arm, they have two children, Tyler and Ashley.

In 1979 their son Ken, tragically died in a car accident in Salmon Arm. In 1980, Hank along with sons, Doug and Rod formed a new drilling company (Capri Drilling) in Kelowna.

A few years later they sold the company and with the great potential of geo thermal heating, Hank formed Aqua Installations.

Unfortunately, he was ahead of the times for this new concept.

Doug and Rod continued to work for Capri.

In 1988 Hank purchased another drill rig and along with Doug, Rod and families, moved back to Williams Lake.

This new company was called Aqua Installations Drilling Division.

Sadly, in 1997, Rod

was injured and could no longer be a driller.

Hank and Doug continued in the business, changing the company name to Aqua Drilling Services Ltd. Doug and son Andrew (Hank’s grandson) continue to keep Hank’s pride in the company alive.

Hank passed away Nov. 25, 2014 at Deni House.

Hank is sadly missed

by Dorothy, his wife of 59 years; sons, Doug (Laura), Rod (Sheryle), daughter Delores (Brian) Lindeman; grandchildren Danielle, Roberta (Marty) and Chris (Lisa) Lindeman, Heather (Will) Hill, Drew (Chareena) Unrau and Tyler (Megan) Unrau and Ashley Unrau (Rob).

He is also missed by his great-grandchildren, Ethan and Sadie Hill, Conner and Jaxson Unrau and Madison Unrau; also his brother Dave and many extended family and friend.

The family wish to express a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Paul Magnuson for his kindness and considerate care of Hank during his illness.

Although Hank’s time in Dani House was short, all the nurses and staff were very kind and helpful.

Thank you to them all. Thank you to Luc LaPrairie for his kindness and thoughtfulness.

Michael Halsall photo

Rudy Johnson (left), CPA agent Bob Harvey, and Clarence Moore rescue a plane on Tzenzaicut Lake during the early days of the Williams Lake Flying Club. The photographer, Michael Halsall was also a flying club member. Both Johnson and Moore recently published books about their adventures in the Cariboo and will be signing copies of their books at the Station House Gallery this Saturday, Dec. 20 between 1 and 4 p.m.

Bush pilot recalls the early days Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Clarence Moore had to be cajoled into writing a book about his adventures as a bush pilot in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast but is glad he did.

“My children, who are now adults, talked me into writing a book and I admit I enjoyed writing it damn near as much as living it,” Moore says.

Moore’s book Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes — Not All Cowboys Ride Horses gives new perspective to the life of a commercial bush pilot, reports his publisher Friesen Press.

Born in Alcomdale,

Alta., Moore grew up on a cattle farm where he enjoyed watching birds fly and made up his mind to become a pilot when he was just six years old.

“I saw my first airplane, a Curtiss Jenny, in the fall of 1937 and made up my mind that was what I was going to do,” Moore says.

But first he took a detour into the Royal Canadian Navy.

While on an annual leave in June 1950 Moore came to Williams Lake for a visit with his friend Roy Wellburn and ended up staying.

He took his flight training in Prince George, Williams Lake, and Langley.

Now 83, Moore made his first solo 61 years ago on Oct. 11, 1953 at 10:30 a.m. in the morning. After that he put in 12 hours of flying time in 28 days to earn his commercial pilot’s license.

His first flying job came in 1958 when he went to work for for his long-time friend Rudy Johnson who then owned Chilcotin Airways with some partners.

“I am still flying and working for two companies,” Moore is proud to say.

Moore says his book includes a lot of short stories and personal reflections about his life as a bush pilot.

And while some of

the stories involve real danger and injuries such as broken legs and other bones that needed quick medical attention, he has tried to make the book as light as possible and deliver a few laughs along the way.

“If you are not having fun, what are you doing wrong,” Moore says.

His many pilot hats include: bush pilot, executive pilot, freight hauler pilot, chasing cows pilot, hauling government agent’s pilot, working with RCMP pilot, hauling doctors and nurses pilot.

When he first started flying, Moore says the Williams Lake airport was where 9th and 10th Avenue are today and flight communications came out of the then military airport at Dog Creek.

At Stampede time, he says he would circle over the Stampede Grounds so passengers could get a look at the Stampede action from the air.

Moore says the greatest gift the region has is its people.

“They believe that hospitality is not just a word but a way of life.”

“These folks are not just characters, they are intelligent, sharp, quick-thinking individual entrepreneurs in the truest sense of the word which include the ladies.

“I admire the people that have chosen this life style it is damn hard work and is probably one of the healthiest in the world.”

Moore says that while they are now involved in various careers, he is proud of the fact that all three of his children are also flyers.

His eldest son Geoff, who now works for the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association worked as a commercial pilot for about six years and as a professional photographer and big game guide to many beautiful arial pictures of the region.

Daughter Deb Stirton is a long haul truck driver working out of Alberta. Son Geordie and his wife Cindy (who is very proud to be Rick Hansen’s sister) are both local realtors.

“I am very proud of all my children,” Clarence says. “But it is possible that I am just a tad biased.”

This Saturday, Clarence will be joining his long-time friend Rudy Johnson, at a book signing taking place at the Station House Gallery.

Both men have recently written books about their many adventures in the Cariboo Chilcotin and will be at the gallery from 1 to 4 p.m. to talk with visitors and sign copies of their books for people.

Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes is available locally at the Open Book and the Station House Gallery.

Ski area to host New Year’s party Greg Sabatino Staff Writer More than 3,500 balloons will create a dropped ceiling to transform the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake when the Mt. Timothy Ski Society and ski patrol host the first-ever New Year’s Apres Ski Party.

Ski patroller Sheila Boehm suggested last spring a New Year’s dinner, dance and silent auction would be a great way for ski patrol and the Mt. Timothy Ski Society to work together in a fundraiser, along with providing a fun New Year’s party and dance.

Since, Boehm has put together an organizing committee of members including Tera Grady, Lisa Seabourne, Bob Patterson, John Stace-Smith, Jeff Austin, Morgan Day and Karen Day, who’ve been diligently working planning the details.

“We want to make this an annual event,” said Grady, who’s helping organize the silent auction. “There really isn’t much to do here for New Year’s.”

There will be a DJ, a buffetstyle dinner catered by TRUE

Eager young skiers line up on the magic carpet at Mt. Timothy during last year’s ski season. To ring in the New Year, the Mt. Timothy Ski Society and ski patrol are hosting the first-ever New Year’s Apres Ski Party.

Foods, the silent auction, live auction and dance to follow.

The organizing committee for the event said the support from Williams Lake businesses has been outstanding.

TRUE Consulting has covered the cost of the Gibraltar Room

rental and Peterson Contracting has donated funds towards the advertising costs.

The silent auction items from local shops are still coming in, Grady said, adding there is something for everyone including multiple gift certificates, bar-

becues, area rugs, solar panels, clocks, single-serve coffee makers, gift baskets, lift passes for Mt. Timothy and more, plus a few other big ticket items such as some heli-ski days from Selkirk Tangiers out of Revelstoke, which will be auctioned off live at the event.

Funds raised from the event will go toward ski hill improvements, while ski patrol will be able to purchase new first aid supplies and new patrol jackets.

The Gibraltar Room doors will open at 6 p.m. on Dec. 31, followed by the catered dinner at 7:30 p.m. The silent and live auction will wrap up before 10 p.m. when music and dancing will begin. The cost of the event is $75 per person and tickets are available at Adorn Spa, Bob’s Shoes and Workwear, Raymond James and Chiropractic Associates.

“The committee invites everyone to come out and enjoy a great evening, whether it’s just for the dinner and auction or to ring in the New Year,” Grady said.

“Tickets are limited, so to avoid disappointment get your tickets before Christmas.”

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-, secondand third-place teams in the competitive division (eight teams), while T-shirts will be presented to winning teams in the other divisions.

Entry fee, roster and waiver forms are required by Dec. 19 at 3 p.m. to Cecil Grinder.

sports Blue Fins impress coach at MJB Law Classic swim meet With a few top swimmers staying behind to take care of injuries, Williams Lake Blue Fins head coach Chad Webb was not expecting many ‘A’ final swims in Kamloops during the weekend at the MJB Law Classic swim meet.

That all changed as the Blue Fins far exceeded his expectations as several young swimmers stepped up to earn themselves second swims in the ‘B’ and ‘A’ finals.

He said with more than 300 swimmers from all over Western Canada, the Blue Fins were impressive in their showings.

Madison Blusson was the top 11-andover performer for the club, capturing a bronze medal with a new Blue Fins’ record in the 100-metre breaststroke, followed by a fifth-place result in the 200-metre breaststroke.

Blusson also finished seventh in the 200-metre individual medley and had many second swims in ‘B’ finals in her other races.

Other ‘A’ finalists were Liam McCreight, Taylor Fitzgerald, Gra-

Apparel & DVDs 250-392-4222 648A S. Mackenzie Ave., WL

Madison Blusson cie Frost, Grace Turner and Maya Nowotny.

McCreight posted a fourth-place result in the 100-metre breaststroke and a fifth-place swim in the 200-metre breaststroke, narrowly missing the podium.

McCreight also placed in the ‘B’ finals in multiple other swims and achieved two provincial ‘AAA’ times.

Fitzgerald, 10, had an impressive medal haul bringing home five medals after finishing first in the 50-metre backstroke, second in the 100-metre butterfly and the 100-metre breaststroke, and third in the 200-metre freestyle and 200-metre individual medley.

Fitzgerald also placed fourth in the 100-metre freestyle and the 50-metre freestyle.

In the ‘A’ final of the 50-metre backstroke Frost finished just outside a medal in fourth place, as well as grabbing a seventh-place result in the 50-metre

Taylor Fitzgerald butterfly. She was also eighth in the 200-metre individual medley final.

Nowotny, meanwhile, was fourth in the 50-metre breaststroke, while Turner swam to a fifth-place position in the same event.

Turner also captured the eighth-place spot in the 200-metre freestyle final.

In the ‘B’ finals nine Blue Fins swam.

Cole Turner had many swims in the ‘B’ finals capturing a ‘AAA’ provincial time in the 50-metre backstroke on Sunday night, impressing Webb in all his performances.

Danny Rich, Keanna Saunders, Landon Christensen, Lucas Nowotny, Danika Robson, Shaylee Stewart,

Kara Zavitz also had a few solid performances placing in the ‘B’ finals in multiple swims.

Zavitz also captured multiple ‘AA’ provincial times in her performances taking significant amounts of time off her swims in many races.

Webb said Adrien Zimmerman was to note, as well, in her best-time performances swimming significantly faster in all her events.

“Overall, we had an impressive amount of second swims every night as we continued to improve significantly in this meet,” Webb said.

The swim club will now take a short break, before returning to the water after Christmas.

Family Fun Day coming up at Bull Mountain Skiers have been busy doing a snow dance for the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club’s upcoming free Family Fun Day at Bull Mountain on Sunday, Jan. 4, from 1 to 3 p.m.

“Skiers of all abilities are invited to try free cross country ski lessons with volunteer ski instructors from our club,” said Family Fun Day organizer Betty Donahue. “This is your chance to learn how to stride and glide safely and get up and down those hills.”

There is no charge to use the trails on Family Fun Day. The event is sponsored by Caribou Ski Source for Sports

and Barking Spider Mountain Bike Shop.

“Caribou Ski will be providing free demo no-wax skis, poles and boots,” Donahue said, adding skiers who have their own gear are encouraged to bring it.

“Remember to dress in layers to avoid overheating.”

Bull Mountain, a gem of the Cariboo, is located roughly a 20-minute drive north of Williams Lake, just off Highway 97, and has 28 kilometres of trails groomed for both classic and skate skiing.

Three-and-a-half kilometres of the trail network are lit for night skiing until 10 p.m.

“The lights are con-

trolled from a switch inside the cozy warming hut,” Donahue said, noting the club also welcomes skiers with their dogs.

“Dog use is restricted to designated dog trails for the safety of your dog and of other skiers and dog owners are expected to clean up after their pooches.”

New this year is brand new track-setting equipment and a dedicated group of hardworking volunteers have been tracking the trails.

In addition to Family Fun Day the ski club offers adult lessons for beginner and intermediate skiers on Jan 10-11.

Further lessons may be an option

subject on demand, Donahue said.

The cost is $5 per lesson, plus the purchase of a club membership or payment of the $10 daily trail fee.

The ski club also offers lessons for kids.

For more on youth skiing programs visit the club’s website at www.bullmountain. ca.

If Family Fun Day or adult lessons are forced to be cancelled due to inclement weather the club will post a notice on its website blog.

“Join us in a snow dance and we hope to see many of you on the trails,” Donahue said.

Grandson, & Nephew A year has come and gone since you left us.

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache, that lies behind our smiles.

No one knows how many times, we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, so there won’t be any doubt.

You are so wonderful to think of, but so hard to live without.

All of our love to you my sweet boy forever & always.

Mom, Eric, brother Eric, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Iain & Uncle Sean XOXOXO

quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.

Verdict Hyundai has done it again, delivering a very attractive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warning system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome.

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 185hp or 2.0L Turbo with 245hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.999-$34,799 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Drive Both the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft.

Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.

Import brands dominate Canadian Car of the Year Awards

By Bob McHugh

The 2015 Canadian Car of the Year competition moved in to its final phase with the announcement of the final fifteen “Best New” category winners by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, better known as AJAC. These category winners were chosen by 73 Canadian automotive journalists following a recently completed hands-on, five-day, back-to-back evaluation drive event, known as “TestFest”, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The testing is both detailed and a challenging process that generated 1,640 evaluation drives, approximately 106,405 data points and 500 category ballots.

“TestFest is the most intensive new vehicle evaluation process on the planet,”

‘‘

While I didn’t expect the Volvo V60 Polestar to eclipse Ford Mustang GT, it was certainly good to see Volvo, a company with a great history that was teetered on the brink of extinction back in the winner’s circle.

that’s what makes an AJAC winner”.

The 2015 Canadian Car of the Year “Best New” award winners are: City Car: Kia Soul EV Small Car (under $21k): Honda Fit Small Car (over $21k): Volkswagen Golf Family Car (under $30k): Subaru Legacy 2.5i Family Car (over $30k): Hyundai Sonata Luxury Car (under $50k): Mercedes-Benz C-Class Luxury Car (over $50k): Hyundai Genesis Sports - Performance

SUV - CUV (over $60k): Porsche Macan S Pickup: Ford F-150 Within this group of “Best New” category winners is the eventual 2015 Canadian Car of the Year and 2015 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year and these announcements will be made at the Canadian International Auto Show, in Toronto , on February 12, 2015. In addition, AJAC will also present 2015 awards for Best New Technology (January 15 / Montreal Auto Show) and Canadian Green Car of the Year (March 24 / Vancouver Auto Show).

Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Subaru were all double winners and, as usual, there were a few surprises. You can look at the voting and scoring details plus all the collected data on performance

(acceleration, braking, fuel economy, etc.) on the AJAC web site (ajac.ca). You can also look back on previous winners going all the way back to 1985, when the Volkswagen Golf (an omen perhaps?) was a winner.

A few weeks ago, I made some winner predictions for the seven categories that I managed to drive all entries, while at Testfest.

Three proved to be right on the mark, two were runner-ups, but sadly, my Toyota Camry Hybrid and Chevrolet Tahoe choices were completely off target.

The Acura RLX Hybrid was my most disappointing non-winner, as I also considered it a good candidate for overall Canadian Car of the Year. The RLX is an amazing sophisticated automobile that could yet win a new technology award.

I’ve heard both small car victors Honda Fit and VW Golf talked about as the potential overall winner.

The double wins for Subaru and Hyundai were a bit of a surprise (to some) but it was certainly nice to see Porsche recognised for two outstanding products. While I didn’t expect the Volvo V60 Polestar to eclipse Ford Mustang GT, it was certainly good to see Volvo, a company with a great history that was teetered on the brink of extinction, back in the winner’s circle.

Peeking through the long lens of Driving Television You won’t find me in front of the lens, having looks suited only for print, but recently I spent a day behind the DTV camera, observing Zack and videographer Brian Chow.

The action took place in Whistler for the launch of the 2015 Lexus NX. First up was a presentation about the product, and specifically the technology featured in the compact crossover vehicle. While some journos present yawned occasionally and jotted a few notes, Zack wrote feverishly,

say we are either driving or shooting but we’re not doing both so most manufacturers are happy to let us do our own thing.”

Just 15 minutes later, Zack is up Whistler Mountain, doing a standup shot talking knowledgeably to the camera about the NX. Yes, he really was taking notes while many of the rest of us were nodding or slurping the coffee at the Four Seasons Resort.

A steep mountain road outside Pemberton was the perfect spot to show off the car in a beautiful location.

Well, it was in the breaks between heavy logging trucks passing by.

The next couple of hours were spent driving up and down the road to capture in car commentary from Zack.

“When we first started (12 years ago) we had to shoot with large TV cameras from the roadside for externals or stuff a camera into the dash to get my remarks while driving,” explains Zack.

But new technology has changed all that. Brian shoots with what looks like a regular digital still camera.

“The old TV cameras would cost about $100,000 but you can now get great DSLR cameras, designed for video, for around $10,000.”

Then there are the tiny $500+ GoPro video cameras that attach anywhere inside or outside, which Brian controls from an app on his iPhone from the passenger seat! Gone are the days of $1,000 an hour helicopter shoots when a $150 remote controlled drone can achieve the same dramatic aerial video.

Now it’s back to Vancouver to edit a three- to seven-minute segment for the show.

Zack explains the program’s mandate: “Like the Driveway section in print, we are not producing a show for gearheads but for normal

people, who just want to know what’s available, for how much, what the safety features are and how fuel efficient a car is.”

The show featuring the NX goes to air this Saturday on Global TV across Canada.

Check your local listings for times. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca What Zack says about the 2015 Lexus NX:

Where has the modern station wagon gone? – Nowhere, it’s just called something else—a crossover or small SUV. The edgy design of the NX will turns heads and garner attention but I have come to realize two things about the car business. When a design is rather edgy, it can date quickly. The second is that the initial “bam, look at me” wears off.

The exterior might be an acquired taste but the inside is a refined and practical place to spend time.

Powering around the mountain resort I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles.

With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion, it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel.

As the small SUV market continues to grow and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.
