Dani Kidstone (left) and Mark Seilis — members of South Cariboo Search and Rescue — work Saturday morning to recover a body discovered underneath the Rudy Johnson Bridge north of Williams Lake.

Murdered man found under bridge Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Four days after a body was discovered on the ice of the Fraser River under the Rudy Johnson Bridge, the RCMP are calling it a murder, but are offering few other details.

“We hope to make a positive identification possibly by Thursday after the family has been no-

tified,” said Sgt. Randy Bosch of the North District Major Crime Unit.

Bosch said Williams Lake RCMP were notified of the body, a male, at 2:17 p.m. on Friday afternoon.

The bridge was closed for more than 24 hours as police investigated the scene Friday and Saturday and search and rescue volunteers recovered the body from the ice.

The RCMP are asking anyone with information about the death to contact police.

This latest murder comes just one week after two young men were killed in Anahim Lake.

Just before midnight Dec. 26, the Anahim Lake RCMP received reports of shots fired at a home in the 2,100 block of Dorsey Road.

When police arrived the two victims, Matthew Hennigar, 23,

and Kalvin Andy, 22, were already dead on scene.

Six people, mainly in their 20s, have been charged in relation to that double homicide.

Last May in Williams Lake another young adult, Corey Huu Le, 22, lost his life outside his home on 11th Avenue and a young woman was injured. No charges have been laid in connection with that crime.

Carts Garbage and recycling carts left on the curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or efficiently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection.

This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

NEWS Victim’s body recovered by Search and Rescue Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mother Nature provided a short window of opportunity to recover the body of a deceased male from the ice on the Fraser River near the Rudy Johnson Bridge Saturday.

“We were really lucky to be able to get on that ice pack,” said James Seeley, technical rescue team leader and instructor with South Cariboo Search and Rescue.

The ice had been all chunked together by the river current and the thickness and cohesiveness were variable.

“Plus you have that huge river underneath and you just don’t know about it,” he said.

The Rudy Johnson Bridge is located about 40 kilometres north of Williams Lake and the approach from both sides down to the river is narrow and steep.

On Friday afternoon, the RCMP received a report of a body on the ice and called Central Cariboo SAR for assistance.

Central Cariboo SAR then put out a mutual aid call and South Cariboo SAR responded sending eight members.

“We have a trained technical wild land rope rescue team, we have trained ice rescue personnel, we have trained swift water rescue personnel, that sort of thing,” Seeley said.

Between search and rescue teams, they all work under the provincial program, and are part of a big team that supports each other in whatever areas for mutual aid when required, he added.

When the combined SAR team arrived at the scene Saturday around 8:45 a.m. environmental conditions were harsh.

“It was minus 15 degrees with 20-kilometre winds from the north,” Seeley said. “There was a huge wind chill factor. It was cold and miserable.”

The recovery took just over two hours from the moment the crew started rigging ropes to effect the recovery.

Using anchor extension ropes and working ropes independent of the anchor ropes, they built a system that allowed the team to take the anchor points closer to the edge where they were working.

South Cariboo SAR member Mark Seilis went out on the ice first, after determining from the shore line the ice was pretty thick and stable.

“Mark kept sounding the ice with a pipe pole to check the ice ahead of him,” Seeley said.

Then Seilis and Dani Kidstone, rigged on

Volunteers from South Cariboo Search and Rescue and Central Cariboo Search and Rescue work together to recover a body from the ice of the Fraser River under the Rudy Johnson Bridge on Saturday. the technical rope rescue system and wearing Gortex water immersion suits, went on the ice together to retrieve the body.

“It was as safe for our members as we could make it,” Seeley said.

Upstream about 100 metres from where

they were working, the ice was moving and dynamic, he said.

During the two hours the river released a channel down the middle of the ice pack and then re-closed on its own.

“After we had finished you could see water welling up on the

sides of the ice pack so it changes all the time,” Seeley said. “I don’t know if I would have put a team on the ice then.”

Seeley said from his perspective the recovery was one of the most dynamic and environmentally challenging they have faced.

“It just proves the training and equipment that we do as volunteers,” he said.

“I’m really proud of the group and the team effort because it was tricky and it was difficult. We made it safe and that’s a credit to their training and the equipment we have.”

Conference on homicides postponed Date set for Gentles decision Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

An event where First Nations leaders were expected to field questions regarding the double homicide in Anahim Lake Dec. 26 was postponed late Monday.

A joint media conference had been scheduled with the First Nations Health Authority, Nuxalk Chief Wally Weber and Ulkatcho Chief Zack Parker.

They called the meeting to discuss community efforts to deal with the recent homicides and arrests involving several young adults in the neighbouring communities of Bella Coola and Anahim Lake, affected by the tragedy.

“Due to the evolving response at the community level and urgent priorities required by community leadership, speakers will be unavailable for the scheduled event … and it will be postponed,” stated the latest release.

Instead, the FNHA said it will be connecting with community leadership to issue a written statement during the next few days along with the potential for scheduled interviews.

In its original notice about the conference, FNHA said leadership from both communities are working together to address the impacts of the murders.

“The ripple effect of these events is being

felt profoundly by the many relations of those involved — please give our families the space to grieve their loved ones,” the press release stated.

Crisis counselling services have been activated in both Bella Coola and Ulkatcho for community members. Leaders are also working closely with the RCMP, First Nations Emergency Services Society, First Nations Health Authority, and Provincial Health Services Authority to address issues related to public safety, justice and health, the press release noted.

After a drumming ceremony at Compassionate Care Funeral Home in Williams Lake on New Year’s

Day, the bodies of victims Kalvin Andy, 22, and Matthew Hennigar, 23, were transported in a procession to their communities.

The funeral for Andy took place in Bella Coola on Saturday and for Hennigar on Monday in Anahim Lake.

Six people are charged in connection with the homicides; Everett O’Reilly, 27, for first degree murder, Christian Craciun, 28, Andrew Jongbloets, 25, Serena Rhem, 26, for second degree murder and Lucille Mack, 33, and Stephen Mecham, 22, with manslaughter.

As of Tuesday they remained in custody and are expected to appear in court again this week and next.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Justice D. Truscott will deliver his decision on the Martin William Gentles trial in BC Supreme Court in Williams Lake on Feb. 3, 2015.

Truscott appeared by telephone in BC Supreme Court Monday to confirm the date with Crown counsel Julie Dufour and defence counsel Ken Walker, who also appeared by telephone.

Gentles, who was also present in the court Monday, is charged with dangerous driving caus-

ing the death of Rayel MacDonald, dangerous driving causing bodily harm to Alysha Mullet, impaired driving causing an accident resulting in death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, causing an accident resulting in death, causing an accident resulting in bodily harm and failure to stop at an accident.

The charges stem from an incident in Williams Lake on April 22, 2012, when a pickup driven by Gentles collided with MacDonald and Mullet while they were walking across

Carson Drive after attending the Indoor Rodeo barn dance.

In their final statements Dufour argued that Gentles should be found guilty of all seven charges against him, while Walker said Gentles should not be found guilty of any of the charges.

The three-week trial ran from Nov. 24 until Dec. 10, 2014.

Crown called a number of witnesses including RCMP members, a traffic incident analyst, a motor vehicle inspector, a bartender, a forensic toxicologist and civilians.

Flo Gonyer of Community Futures clears a portion of the sidewalk on Oliver Street Tuesday morning after a winter storm blanketed the area overnight. The uncleared snow made it difficult for motorists to park along Oliver Street as city crews worked to catch up on snow removal.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Reference Number 2015-2020 PMP In accordance with the requirements of the British Columbia Integrated Pest Management Act and its regulation, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations’ programs Forests for Tomorrow (FFT), Cariboo-Chilcotin District Stewardship and BC Timber Sales (BCTS), is proposing development of a Pest Management Plan (PMP) to spray herbicide within portions of the Quesnel and Cariboo-Chilcotin Forest Districts.

This PMP outlines how FFT, Cariboo-Chilcotin District Stewardship and BCTS will use an integrated approach in controlling competing vegetation that may inhibit plantation establishment and optimal growth and development of crop trees.

Heavy snow, freezing rain and ice pellets were the order of the day for back to school and work in the Cariboo Chilcotin for 2015.

Heavy snow hit the region Sunday wreaking havoc for drivers traveling city streets and highways, and prompting Environment Canada to issue a weather advisory.

By Monday morning DriveBC, the government’s website for highway conditions, had issued travel advisories for most regions in the province including the Cariboo Chilcotin with more than 20 centimetres of snow falling in the afternoon as predicted by Environment Canada who issued their own warning of a winter storm for the area.

Freezing rain and ice pellets kicked off the day Tuesday forcing the cancellation of school buses by 6 a.m., followed by an announcement at 7:50 a.m. that all schools and district offices would in fact be closed due to the dangerous driving conditions.

DriveBC also issued travel advisories for Highway 20, Highway

97, Horsefly Road and Likely Road Tuesday morning due to icy roads, while the Heckman Pass between Anahim Lake and Bella Coola was closed because of a high avalanche hazard.

The Williams Lake Airport also experienced runway closures due to the extreme winter conditions.

Williams Lake RCMP Sgt. Rick LeBeuf said police responded to only five accidents over recent days as a result of the winter storms, with one resulting in minor injuries in the McLeese Lake area.

“We want to remind the public to allow more time to travel to their destinations and to ensure they have adequate snow tires because of road conditions,” LeBeuf.

While the road conditions were poor, they did bring out the best in area residents, such as passersby Dave Reedman and Bob Clary, who helped push out a woman’s car that was stuck in the snow.

Clary, who is new to Williams Lake and is looking for work, said he likes to make a habit out of helping others when he can.

The proposed PMP will apply to areas within the Quesnel and Cariboo-Chilcotin Forest Districts—including areas outside the communities of Quesnel, Wells, Williams Lake, Likely, Horsefly, McLeese Lake, Big Lake and 150 Mile House.

The proposed methods for pesticides application will be backpack including foliar, cone spray, broadcast, cut stump and basal bark. The use of pesticide is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan applies. The duration of the proposed PMP will be May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020.

The following pesticides are proposed for the use in the areas to which the PMP applies:

Chilcotin nurse practitioner quarantined after Ebola scare Jeff Nagel Black Press Chilcotin nurse practitioner Patrice Gordon’s hospitalization last week after coming down with a fever has put a face on the army of Canadian medical heroes battling the killer disease in West Africa.

Gordon, who lives in Tatla Lake and works as a nurse practitioner in the Chilcotin, was released from an isolation unit at Kelowna General Hospital Thursday, Jan. 1, after three tests for Ebola came back negative.

She returned Christmas Day from four weeks in Sierra Leone and drove to hospital Dec. 29 — part way into her three-week period of self-quarantine at a Kelowna hotel — after developing symptoms now thought to be merely a severe cold.

Gordon spoke out last Friday after finding herself in a media spotlight, saying she hopes more B.C. volunteers help fight the epidemic and that they can return home to face less stigma and fear than she did.

“Don’t be afraid of us when we come home,” she told reporters by phone, insisting medical workers like herself and designat-

“heart broken 10 million times” as victims young and old perished.

“I would not change a thing, except to make Ebola go away,” she said.

“This is how we make the world a better place — we go and do what we can.”

Seven others from B.C. are now self-monitoring for symptoms during their own 21day Ebola incubation periods and nine previous volunteers have undergone the threeweek wait and been cleared.

All shared in an unexpected honour — Time Magazine’s declaration of Ebola fighters as its Person of the Year.

“They risked and persisted, sacrificed and saved,” Time’s Nancy Gibbs wrote, citing their “tireless acts of courage and mercy” that helped buy the world time to boost its defenses.

“The rest of the

world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight.”

Gordon and other Red Cross workers celebrated in Sierra Leone when they heard the news but she immediately used it the next day to try to boost the spirits of their Ebola patients.

“The entire world is pulling for you guys,” she recounted telling the stricken Africans, who she insists are the “real heroes” fighting the disease.

A possible return to the Ebola battlefield of West Africa has already crossed her mind, even though the B.C. nurse remains under hotel room lockdown until she’s deemed safe from the disease on Jan. 14.

“My family’s going to kill me,” Gordon said. “But they know me well enough to know that I would already be contemplating going back.”

hat kind of a year will this be?

Last year I predicted that pipelines would continue to be news, along with mines, ports, Site C, LNG (fracking), changes in forestry, threats to the ALR and water. That was correct.

Site C was approved but still faces challenges. The Mount Polley Mine disaster triggered attention to mine safety in the province, but in general, resource development plans are plugging along.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision on First Nations land claims (William Case) will French have a big impact Connection on many of them.

Diana French One thing for sure in 2015, there will be a federal election. Other predictions are iffy but I’m thinking more prominent Canadians like Preston Manning will be calling attention to climate change.

Protests against resource developments will continue, as will lawsuits, which seem to be more effective.

Williams Lake is starting the year with a new city council.

This batch is expected to be open and receptive to public input, and there will likely be more citizen’s advisory groups and fewer outside consultants. Although council began its term by reversing two decisions made by the previous council, Mayor Cobb has said he won’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Our TRU campus will be in the news because council will use its political clout to convince the powers-that-be in Kamloops that our campus could and should have the resources to play a bigger role in this community. The regional district and school board might well get on board with this, along with the Chamber of Commerce.

Williams Lake often gets bad press, like the latest report by BC Business which ranks us second last (35 out of 36) in B.C. as a good place to live. The report is hooey, and the new council, assisted by the Chamber, BIA and other rah rah groups, will see that we earn more accurate ratings.

All in all, the Cariboo Chilcotin will be OK in 2015.

Our Viewpoint

Stormy start to 2015 While students were gearing up to go back to school and adults back to work after the holidays, Mother Nature had other plans this week to kick off the New Year.

The Cariboo Chilcotin region was hit hard by a heavy snowfall Monday, and then freezing rain and ice pellets that lasted the better part of the day Tuesday which coated everything in a thick layer of ice.

Despite it all, pedestrians and motorists took the challenge in stride offering to assist each other where ever possible.

It was good to see strangers rallying together to push one another out of one snow drift or another.

The winter storm warning remained in effect into the evening, with more freezing rain expected.

But as with all winter storms, this too shall pass.

We hope the same will not be said about the tragic murders that have taken place in our communities in recent

weeks.

They should not pass quietly –– an urgent response is required here.

One murder is one too many. To have three young murder victims over the course of one week, unimaginable.

The communities of Bella Coola and Anahim Lake are grieving the loss of two young men, murdered on Boxing Day, while six other young adults face charges.

Meanwhile the grieving will have just begun for another family after a body was discovered under the Rudy Johnson Bridge Friday.

Police have said it is murder.

Our leaders must find a way to address what is happening in our communities.

And as residents and humans, we must help those who are impacted by this wave of brutal crime in any way we can.

hether it’s unwinding after a long day or accompanying a nice meal, few things beat a nice glass of wine — especially one from B.C. While wine is one of B.C.’s best-known products, it’s hard to believe that more than 90 per cent of our wineries have been around for less than a quarter of a century. Despite B.C.’s relative lack of ‘vintage’ our wines, of which there are more than 80 different varieties, frequently compete and win on the world’s stage.

It’s no secret the provincial government is a big booster of our wine industry — after all it supports over 10,000 full-time jobs and is worth over $2 billion annually to B.C.’s economy. So this is why the government is keeping MLA its promise to BritMusings ish Columbians to increase consumer Coralee Oakes choice and convenience.

Starting on April 1, grocery stores will be able to stock 100 per cent B.C. wine on their shelves, including fruit and honey wines. This retail model will meet new opportunities for B.C. wineries, supporting our home-grown economy and address calls for the added convenience from consumers.

In addition, this phase of the liquor-in-grocery model will allow existing VQA stores and independent wine stores to relocate or transfer their licence to an eligible grocery store — as long as the licence is only used to sell 100 per cent B.C. wine. Eligibility for grocery stores that sell 100 per cent B.C. wine off the shelves will align with the “store-within-a-store” model criteria — maintaining a minimum of 10,000 square feet and approximately 75 per cent focus on food products and service.

While we want to see the industry continue to grow and thrive, no one wants to see alcohol in the hands of minors. That’s why we’re making it a requirement that all off-the-shelf wine transactions must be done at designation registers and staffed by employees with their Serving it Right certification and are at least 19 years old.

The wine-in-shelves model is one of the many ways that B.C. is changing its liquor laws to grow local businesses in this province. This phased-in approach will give liquor retailers in the Cariboo and across the province an opportunity to look at their existing model, to see if this is a model they want to adopt.

The New Year is upon us, so let’s toast it by raising a glass of B.C. wine and support homegrown products.

Demographics don’t lend to democracy Editor: As we enter the New Year some things need to be considered if Canada wants to move forward in the coming years ahead.

Williams Lake, it seems, lost an important mine development in Taseko’s Prosperity development.

Perry Bellegarde, who was recently elected national chief of the Assembly of First Nations has indicated in his recent election to chief, that: “if industry and governments are serious about … wanting to create economic development, we need to be included and involved,” Bellegarde said. “If we’re excluded, nothing will move. Nothing will happen.”

New data from the National Household Survey (NHS) shows 1,400,685 people had an Aboriginal identity in 2011, representing 4.3 per cent of the total Canadian population.

So when it comes to economic development in Canada, ac-

Roses to Barking Spider Mountain Bike Shop for providing a great location and support for the annual Blue Fins Swim Club Christmas tree sale. Our Christmas tree sales have been critical in maintaining a healthy club and healthy kids.

Community members who persevered in finding our new location, and those who donated large amounts in excess of selling price will effect positive influences in the health and skills of our children.

Community support, from local small business such as Barking Spider, and dedicated volunteers throughout Williams Lake are what make this a great place to raise families.

Shop local first.

cording to this 2011 survey, 4.3 per cent of Canada’s population have the power to dictate terms regarding such economic development as pipelines and in Williams Lake’s case, mine development.

This hardly seems like a democratic situation in a developing country like Canada.

At some point in Canada’s developing history this growing inequity will have to be addressed by governments both federally and provincially.

As the situation now stands it seems that 95.7 per cent of Canada’s population is afraid, or reluctant to raise a red flag on this issue.

Where Aboriginals are against economic development there is a total ignoring of where Canada’s money comes from.

Personal income tax is the biggest revenue source.

In 2005/06 it provided $103.7 billion in federal funding.

That’s more than 46 per cent of all federal revenues.

That is income from work-

Revenues from the goods and services tax provided $33 billion, or 15 per cent, of total funds.

Corporate income tax raised about $32 billion, just over 14 per cent of federal finances.

Corporate taxes come from industry, again, such as mining.

Customs import duties, energy taxes and excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco made up $17.7 billion, or nearly eight per cent of revenues.

Employment insurance premiums as part of general revenues contributed $16.5 billion or 7.4 per cent of the total.

Earning by Crown corporations and the sale of goods and services provided the remaining $19.6 billion, or 8.8 per cent of total revenues.

At this point there is no record of Aboriginal contributions to Canada’s income stream.

Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond presented the CRD’s Year-End Address in December during a regularly scheduled board of directors meeting in Williams Lake. Below is the transcript of the address: Members of the board, members of the media, ladies and gentlemen.

Today, I have the distinct pleasure of reviewing the Cariboo Regional District’s key accomplishments and successes for 2014. Looking back over the past year, our region can be proud of its achievements.

Al Richmond The CRD experienced many successes in 2014.

The year started with three sub-regional budget consultation meetings taking place in 100 Mile House, Quesnel and Williams Lake. During these meetings we presented the pro-

posed 2014 budget to our residents to seek feedback from them, before adopting the budget at the end of March.

In May of 2014, the CRD attended the North Central Local Government Association Conference which was held in Fort St. John.

Delegates and their partners were able to attend some great workshops, business sessions and of course some spectacular entertainment and social events. I would also like to take this opportunity to again thank the many volunteers from who dedicated their time and efforts to put on this conference. The

hospitality which was offered to delegates and their partners was second to none.

On May 20, 2014, The Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) new Anahim Lake Airport terminal was officially opened. The terminal was built with support from our partners, the BC Government of British Columbia’s Towns for Tomorrow program, the Government of Canada’s Gas Tax Fund, the Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the CRD. At the beginning of June, the Cariboo Regional District unveiled its new corporate website which is

located at cariboord. ca.

The goal of the redesign was to modernize the look and feel, and make the website more useable, professional and adaptable.

The CRD website was developed to provide information and interactivity for and with residents, visitors and the general public who live, work or play within the Cariboo Chilcotin. The budget for this project was $7,500.

In June, the CRD Board of Directors and staff travelled to Alexis Creek for the 2014 Board on the Road event.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

Throughout the fall months, the CRD unveiled four new wheelchair accessible trails throughout the region including Hallis Lake,

Churn Creek, the Interlakes Low Mobility Trail and the 99 Mile Accessible Trail. The CRD’s accessible trail network received accolades from Williams Lake’s own Rick Hansen who took the time out of his busy schedule to tour both the Gavin Lake low Mobility Trail and the 99 Mile Accessible Trail.

The CRD declared Sept. 30 annually as Orange Shirt Day. The municipalities within the region, along with School District 27 and 28 have also made this same declaration to aide in the healing and reconciliation process and to create a better future for generations to come.

In 2014, the CRD successfully applied to a number of different provincial and federal funding programs such as the Building Canada Fund, the Towns for Tomorrow program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Community Tourism Opportunities

program and UBCM’s Fuel mitigation fund for a total of approximately $1 million. The CRD also received approximately $1.7 million from the Community Works Fund which focuses on green initiatives and energy efficiency projects.

So often we forget how far we have come, and the challenges and issues we have overcome, or resolved along the way.

Creating new partnerships, enhancing services, undertaking capital projects, informing the public and responding to residents’ needs is what building this region is all about. Our organization will continue to respond to community and residents’ needs thereby achieving our goal of Building Communities Together.

I would like to thank all the Board members and staff for your dedication perseverance and support throughout 2014.

Thank you.

Development of a pest management plan Facilities — Application #FBC-FAC-2015, FEI-FAC-2015 Applicant: FortisBC Suite 100 - 1975 Springfield Road Kelowna, B.C. V1W 7V7

Email: pestmanagementplans@ fortisbc.com Tel: 1-866-436-7847 Fax: 1-866-627-7038

Attention: vegetation management The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to manage vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, within facilities, which include generation facilities, switching, compressor, valve, metering, odorant stations, substations, farm taps, buildings, structures, tower compounds, access roads and storage yards within the FortisBC service area. The FortisBC service area is located in proximity to the communities of Creston, Crawford Bay, Kaslo, Slocan, South Slocan, Nelson, Castlegar, Salmo, Trail, Fruitvale, Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Midway, in the Okanagan Valley from Osoyoos to Kelowna, and in the Similkameen Valley from Princeton to Keremeos.

The pest management methods proposed for use include physical (non-chemical) treatment methods (selective slashing, girdling, hand pulling, weed trimming, mowing, pruning, geotextiles and stump removal), the release of biological control agents (insects), cultural control methods (grass seeding), and the use of pesticides (herbicides). The common name (and examples of trade names) of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid, aminocyclopyrachlor, chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Transline), 2-4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex),flumioxazin, fluroxpyr, glyphosate (Roundup, Roundup Weathermax, Glyphos, Vantage, Vantage Plus), hexazinone (Velpar), indaziflam, imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuronmethyl, picloram (Tordon 22K), simazine (Simadex, Princep) and triclopyr (Garlon 4 or Garlon Ultra). Application methods include: foliar, soil, wick/wipe-on and cut surface, using backpack, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle, injection tools and handgun (power hose and nozzle).

The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at fortisbc.com or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice and before February 13, 2015.

ward to Quesnel, then finally to Williams Lake; a place where he was so content to live that he only left once again in the next 51 years on a trip of any distance (to visit relatives in Eastern Canada).

He began working for the PGE in 1919.

In 1926 he wed Anne Dukovac, a girl from his hometown of Gospic, Yugoslavia who travelled to Canada to marry Matt.

They married in Vancouver, travelled back to Williams Lake and moved into the PGE railway owned house (across the tracks from the station [the present Station House Gallery]) where they lived for 28 years and raised their family of four.

The Latin children were; Frank, Martin, Mary and George, but it is Mary who shares a special birth day with the village she was born in.

Mary came into the world on Christmas Day 1929.

Birthed by a devout Catholic mother, there must have been no debate about what to name the precious

baby girl who made her grand entrance on such a special day and somewhat uniquely, no middle name was given.

Mary Latin was born in the old hospital where City Hall sits today. She attended school, worked, married (Lee Skipp) and lived in Williams Lake for more than half of her adult life.

Lee and Mary had three children; Elizabeth (Liz Twan), Jim and Matthew — all of whom were born in the same small hospital that Mary, herself was born in.

In fact, Matthew, born on September 4th 1962 was one of the very last babies born in that old hospital.

Before her maternity stay in hospital was over that week, both mother and new born infant were transported to the brand new Cariboo Memorial Hospital on the hill.

Those three Skippchildren grew up, spread their wings and flew away from Williams Lake after high school, but Liz returned in the summer breaks from uni-

versity to work and met her future husband, rancher, Bronc Twan.

They married in 1978 and had two sons, Willee and Jesse — both of whom were born in the Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

They too, spent their school years in Williams Lake before laving for college and work experiences. Willee returned to the area in 2003, married (Bobby Denner) in 2011 and in 2014 (Aug. 8) the couple were blessed when a fourth generation of the (Latin) family was born in the Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

Piper Elizabeth Twan had arrived; a daughter for Willee and Bobby Twan, the first grandchild for Bronc and Liz Twan of Alkali Lake (third grand-child for Bob and Mary Denner of 150 Mile).

And, a very special 85th year-gift; a first great-grandchild for Mary (Latin) Skipp, a fourth generation of her family born in her hometown. It made for a very Mary Christmas.

Die Theatrically on stage this month

Michael Rawluk photo

Detectives Jane (Tanis Daum) and Tom (Terry Lyons) pursue answers in the Studio Theatre production of Die Theatrically on stage starting next week.

Die Theatrically is next up in live theatre for the lakecity.

This comedic farce revolves around detectives Jane and Tom who investigate a murder at a community theatre’s all female production of Macbeth the Musical.

But is it a murder?

Or a double murder?

Or a murder-suicide?

Written by Canadian playwright Mat Kelly, the Studio Theatre’s production is the

first time this play has ever been performed on stage, says producer Amanda LeForte.

“Mark Berezan is the director and this is his first time directing, which is pretty exciting,” adds LeForte.

The Die Theatrically cast includes Tanis Daum as detective Jane; Terry Lyons as detective Tom; Jennifer McPhee as Penny; Kirsten Sandberg as Jackie; Kathy MacDonald as Amy; Jane

CMH New Year’s baby from 100 Mile House Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Darrell and Sara Jones of 100 Mile House welcomed a new daughter on New Year’s Day, the first baby born at Cariboo Memorial Hospital in Williams Lake in 2015.

Milah Jones arrived at Cariboo Memorial Hospital at 10:20 p.m. on Jan. 1, weighing six pounds, a little sister for her three older siblings — Rees, Parker and Camden.

Sara said her regular doctor was away and the plan was to send her to Williams Lake if necessary.

“We arrived at the hospital in Williams Lake at 8 a.m. on Dec.

31, and then I was induced at 4 p.m. and had her the next night,” Sarah said.

It was the first time Sara was ever induced and as it turned out, it was a lot more work for her than natural birth, she said.

As the family settles in at home, three-year-old Parker has his mind made up Milah’s the little brother he wanted.

“We had picked the name Caleb Bradley for a boy, and that’s what Parker’s calling her,” Sara chuckled.

Sara said they wanted to thank the doctors and nursing staff in the maternity ward.

“Our care was fantastic and very much appreciated.”

New Year’s baby Milah Jones was born at Cariboo Memorial Hospital at 10:30 p.m.

Mild conditions for annual Christmas bird count Phil Ranson Special to Tribune/Advisor The Williams Lake Field Naturalists held their 47th annual Bird Count on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014 under moderate conditions with a light snow early on, then temperatures at valley bottom warming up to about zero.

With 40 field participants covering 20 routes, the total count was surprisingly low with only 3,096 birds comprised of 46 species.

This is the lowest number of birds since 2002 and four species below the 20-year average.

Undoubtedly the heavy snow and deep freeze of early December cleared out many of the lingering birds but this void is often filled by the arrival of the northern finches which wasn’t the case this year.

This wasn’t a local phenomenon, however, with many other counts in the Interior experiencing similar results.

Bird populations can be cyclic and fluctuate widely year to year

Steve Smith photo

White-throated sparrows were among the birds counted in the Christmas bird count.

based on weather, food supply, breeding success and probably several factors which we are not aware of, so too much shouldn’t be read into a single year’s count.

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK

Bohemian Waxwing numbers alone can double the size of the count and estimates in early December around Williams Lake ranged between 2,000 and 4,000 birds.

By count day, the mountain ash berry supply was mostly depleted and the birds had moved on and only 114 were recorded on Dec. 14.

Unusual this year was that there were very few unusual or unexpected birds which will add interest and often excitement to the count.

The few exceptions were three Rusty Blackbirds, which are designated as a species of special concern in Canada, found in Chimney Valley. This is only the third time they have appeared on the count.

Also a little unusual and could very easily have been missed, were a family of three adult and two juvenile Trumpeter Swans in flight south of the airport.

As with just about every count, there are always some species that appear in record numbers

despite the overall results; Northern Flickers have been showing a more or less consistent increase over the term of the count and this year’s total of 68 was well above last year’s previous high of 50 birds. The numbers of Gray Jays, sometimes called ‘Canada Jay’ or ‘Camp Robber,’ fluctuate widely year to year but this year’s total matched the previous high of 31 set in 1987.

One of our more spectacular raptors, the Golden Eagle, is never a common species and the four birds seen along the Fraser River is one better than the previous high set in 2000 and 2007.

Another bird that is increasing not only on the count but also as a breeding species in the region is the White-throated Sparrow.

Seldom observed west of the Rockies 50 years ago, this dapper little sparrow with the instantly recognizable song was found at feeders at Scout Island, N. Lakeside and at Terra Ridge.

For the complete breakdown on bird numbers spotted turn to Page A16.

Do you hike, hunt, bike, or gather firewood? Do you depend on forest lands for your livelihood? Do you do these things in the new WL Community Forest? Are you a person who has interest in forest stewardship? If so, the Williams Lake Community Forest organizers would like to meet you and get your input on important values and interests, says project manager Ken Day. The public is invited to provide input on public interests and values with a focus on the Potato Mountain Block, a block of forested lands east of Big Lake, north of Miocene to Beaver Valley, and west of Gravel Creek.

The meeting will be held at the Miocene Community Hall, Sunday, Jan. 11 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Coffee, tea and refreshments will be served “At this meeting we will present our draft Forest Stewardship Plan for the community forest. We will also seek your input on your interests and values as they pertain to the management of the community forest,” Day says. This meeting follows a successful meeting in December which focused on the Flat Rock Block.

Supreme Honoured Royal Lady Regina MacLean recently visited Williams Lake Royal Purple Lodge 126.

MacLean first joined the Order of the Royal Purple Williams Lake Lodge 126 in 1978 as a member of the drill team, which in her words is the best position.

In July of 2014 she was installed as SHRL at the national level which is the highest level of the order.

When asked if it was a long journey, she smiled then laughingly said no, the journey was short.

Supreme Honoured Royal Lady Regina MacLean (seated front right) recently visited with members of the Order of the Royal Purple Williams Lake Lodge 126. plans for the future of Royal Purple still left on her wish list.

MacLean moved to North Kamloops in the early 1980s.

Although se did not seek out a Royal Purple Lodge to join, word got out that a lady from Williams Lake had moved into North Kamloops and soon a member of North Kamloops Royal Purple Lodge 477 made arrangements to meet with MacLean invited her to join their lodge.

She accepted the invitation and worked her way through the chairs until she held the position of Honoured Royal Lady.

The Honoured Royal Lady chair is similar to the position of president of other organizations.

She held the position of Honoured Royal Lady four times in the North Kamloops Lodge.

In addition to being a member of her local lodge, she also held the position of district deputy six times.

British Columbia along with many of the other provinces have Royal Purple members who belong to a provincial level of the Order of Royal

Purple.

MacLean joined the B.C. provincial Royal Purple and began to work her way up the chairs until she was B.C. provincial president for the 2006/2007 year.

During her years as a Royal Purple member MacLean has attended many semi-monthly lodge meetings, yearly provincial conferences, and national conventions and as district deputy and B.C. provincial president visited most, if not all, of the Royal Purple lodges in B.C. her heart is with Royal Purple and she has managed to assist and encourage many lodges and their members.

In 2011 Regina was elected to the chair of lecturing lady/third vice-president of the supreme office of the national level.

From this position she once again worked her way through the chairs until July of 2014 when she was installed as Supreme Honoured Royal Lady of this Great Nation of Canada.

Her visit to Williams Lake Royal Purple was number 23 of her visits to lodges in

Canada since she was installed in Ardrie as Supreme Honoured Royal Lady.

She visited 22 lodges, with 30 other lodges represented, two provincial meetings, five anniversaries of Elks and Royal Purple, national executive meetings, celebration teas, lunches and dinners, TV and newspaper interviews, meeting with mayors and other dignitaries, B.C. through to Ontario.

Her motto is “constructive solutions.”

Williams Lake Ladies of the Royal Purple wish to thank her for her visit and for her commitment to Royal Purple.

Williams Lake Royal Purple Lodge 126 meets twice monthly for lunch hour meetings at the Elks Hall.

The lodge is always open to accept new members to join the lodge and cordially invites visitors to attend a meeting to see if they are interested.

We are a fun-loving, dynamic, dedicated group of volunteers helping kids and our communities.

Pinchbeck known for White Wheat Whiskey Barry Sale Special to Tribune/Advisor

Long before Williams Lake became famous for its Stampede it was known around the province for quite a different commodity — William Pinchbeck’s White Wheat Whiskey.

I’ve written about Pinchbeck in a previous column but perhaps a brief review might be in order here.

He was a tough but fair police constable sent from Victoria in 1860 to establish and maintain law and order in the new and growing gold rush supply community of Williams Lake.

Very shortly after arriving he formed a partnership with a friend, William Lyne, to purchase land and farm the properties.

Thus, within a couple of years, Pinchbeck found himself juggling government jobs as policeman, lawyer, justice of the peace, and jailer, while at the same time buying up land, building a homestead, and developing a roadhouse with a restaurant, saloon, general store and horse racing track.

By 1863, Pinchbeck’s large, two-storey stopping house with its eight bedrooms above the store and restaurant dominated the valley.

It was a busy place.

His son, William Jr., recalled “Every winter there would be miners boarding about the place waiting for the weather to moderate so they could go back to the mines. They boarded as a rule for $8 a week and, of course, spent a lot of money over at the bar.

Meals were 50 cents and drinks 25 cents.”

An advertisement in the Victoria Colonist of 1863 described Pinchbeck’s Hotel and Store as “accommodation for travellers unsurpassed by any hotel in the country. The table is constantly supplied with every delicacy that money can purchase. A large stock of miner’s supplies of every description constantly on hand.

The choicest brand of wines, liquors and cigars to be held at the bar.”

During the summers of the 1860s there was a regular horse racing circuit which attracted hundreds of spectators and saw large sums of betting monies change

One memorable contest had the stakes at more than $100,000 — that’s more than $2.5 million in today’s dollars. A nice percentage, of course, went to the track’s owners, Pinchbeck and Lyne.

Along with his other interests, Pinchbeck went heavily into farming, raising beef, hogs, vegetables and grain to supply the hungry miners in the Cariboo gold fields.

During the 1860s and 1870s, more and more land was bought up and brought under cultivation.

Much of the Williams Lake valley was planted in wheat.

By 1875, for example, more than 250,000 bushels of grain were shipped out to market.

Clearly, Pinchbeck was an entrepreneur. It did not take him very long to figure out that producing his own liquor would be far cheaper than importing it from “back east.”

Most of the customers at the bar drank shots of whiskey, and at 25 cents per shot, there was the potential for big profit.

So it was then in 1862, Pinchbeck constructed a brewery and distillery near where the Comer Station Pub is today.

The worms, the long-coiled copper tubes used for condensing the alcohol, and the 200pound copper boilers were brought up from California by wagon.

Hops were planted along the river, and beermaking equipment was also imported.

In a short time, locally made beer and a new, unique product called Pinchbeck’s White Wheat Whiskey were being sold at the roadhouse.

The whiskey especially caught on with the clientele, and it was reported to be every bit as good as the imported whiskeys.

Gradually, White Wheat Whiskey became

famous throughout the northern part of the province.

It was available in 40-ounce bottles for $1.50 a piece, or in gallon jugs (a bargain at $5.)

As well as the willing customers at the roadhouse, there was a ready, eager market in the gold camps, and the pack trains from Williams Lake always included a generous supply, usually shipped in 10-gallon wooden kegs.

The beer did not travel well, so it was sold only at the roadhouse — the whiskey was by far the most popular product.

Just as it still is today, the provincial government could not countenance money being made without receiving a cut, so it wasn’t long before a law was passed in Victoria requiring local distillers to be bonded.

Money had to be paid to the government in order for them to continue to do business.

An official from Victoria was paid up to $100 per day to come to the Cariboo and test Pinchbeck’s whiskey for its strength and consistency.

Christmas cards The Williams Lake Sabercats minor football team was busy spreading Christmas cheer Dec. 20 at the Williams Lake Seniors Village.

The team, working like busy Christmas elves, handcrafted more than 100 cards and were all smiles as they proceeded to travel up and down the halls at the Seniors Village to deliver them personally to residents.

Head coach Dionte Jelks said he’s happy to keep the players involved in the community during the team’s offseason.

Pinchbeck a generous man Continued From Page A18

An official from Victoria was paid up to $100 per day to come to the Cariboo and test Pinchbeck’s whiskey for its strength and consistency.

Pinchbeck must have been a pretty generous man since, according to many, at his roadhouse over the years thousands of dollars worth of drinks were put on tabs and never paid for.

Son Billy, in his memoirs, writes of one miner named Scotty, who did part time work around the place to help pay for

his room and board: “He must have been a thirsty soul — there are so many entries for drinks.

The first day there are 24 drinks charged to him; and the next day 29 drinks, a clay pipe and a day lost; the third day 25 drinks and a day lost; and the fourth day 41 drinks and a lost day.

Scotty … must have been treating his friends, and I don’t think he ever earned enough to pay what he owed.”

Shortly after 1871, when B.C. entered Confederation, all distilling licences in the new province were cancelled and instructions were

sent from Ottawa that all worms used in the whiskey-making process were to be shipped back to the capital.

Somehow, the message wasn’t quite understood in Williams Lake, since for many years afterwards, a certain number of animals in each pack train originating at Pinchbeck’s store were loaded, as usual, with kegs of White Wheat Whiskey.

It was not until the mid 1880s, when Pinchbeck’s health had begun to fail and the ranch operations were being downsized, that the distillery ceased pro-

duction forever, thus closing an interesting chapter of our local history.

Paramedic retires after 42-year career Monica Lamb-Yorski Smart 55

As he retires BC Ambulance unit chief Bob Kopp says he hasn't worked a day in his life.

“I’ve been here 42 years and the reason I stayed was because I loved the job,” the 70-year-old said as he worked his last shift at the Williams Lake

Ambulance Station on New Year’s Eve day.

There have been sad moments through the years, Kopp recalled.

“You think about the people, you never really get by that, but helping people is the rewarding part.”

Working in a region that spans 50,000 square miles, meant Kopp travelled to Bella Coola

Bob Kopp with patients or into the Cariboo Mountains to assist with rescues.

"I remember rescuing a fellow from a mountain ledge near the top of Eureaka Peak," he recalled.

The helicopter had its belly in the snow and remained running while its tail was hanging on a cliff.

Kopp had to jump out in the deep snow, splint and drag the man with a broken foot into the ambulance while the pilot concentrated on keeping the helicopter stable.

And during his career Kopp assisted in delivering 22 babies.

“I had to remove a cord wrapped around the neck once, but that

“You see the happiness and the sadness in the this career. You learn to cope.”

Looking back over

his career Kopp said he believed his management style helped him and others while on the job.

insisted. “We have to all co-operate with one another, talk to each other.”

If someone at the station falls the others help them out.

“Nobody’s an island in this business,” he said.

“You don’t kick them when they’re down.”

Kopp moved to Williams Lake from Ontario in 1972 and began working with the local ambulance crew.

In those days Hazel Waters ran the service out of her home in Glendale with Dave Walters. When the provincial government took over the ambulance service in 1974, Waters was ready to retire and appointed Kopp as acting unit chief.

He never left the post.

Early in his career, there were many long days and nobody counted hours then.

“Now you can’t go over 16 hours,” he said.

“One time I went out to Nemiah Valley, brought a patient in, went out to Kamloops and brought a patient back, and then there was a call out to Twin Lakes in Nemiah Valley.”

Because he was so tired, yet happened to be a pilot, Kopp rented an airplane, flew out and picked up the patient from Nemiah.

When asked if he owns a plane today, he said no that he owns a boat.

“I’d rather be out on the water fishing any day,” he smiled, adding he fishes regularly at Quesnel Lake and Bella Coola.

In his spare time he creates bentwood lawn furniture that’s been selling like hotcakes.

Paramedic Don Piper has been named acting unit chief to replace Kopp until a permanent unit chief is named.

As Kopp’s paramedic’s licence will be good for a few more years, he said he hopes to continue using it in some capacity.

Kopp and his wife Sandra have three grown children and six grandchildren.

Their son Mark has been at BC Ambulance in Williams Lake for 23 years, Dean is at Parallel Lumber and daughter Julie is in McBride working at the hospital and a bank.

"It's been a higlight to work alongside my son."

Families of paramedics often pay a big price and are often the real heroes, Kopp said.

"I think of families and loved ones who endure the disappointments when we are called away."

activities back underway at Seniors Centre Win Gooding SMART 55

Another New Year has just begun.

I hope everyone had a very happy Christmas and that Santa was good to you.

The Old Age Pe n s i o n e r s Organization Branch 93 (OAPO) annual Christmas dinner held at the Catholic church hall was a very joyful event.

The Catholic Women's League served up a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings which was enjoyed by all who attended.

Many thanks, ladies, and all the OAPO members who helped to make the evening the success it was.

The Se n i o r s Activity Centre opened again on Jan. 5 after a muchdeserved break for

all the volunteers to enjoy the holidays with their families and friends.

All activities held at the centre will be starting up again so start the New Year right and become involved.

The OA P O Branch 93 monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 8, at 1 p.m. at the centre.

Everyone is welcome to come and

stay for coffee, tea and refreshments after the meeting.

Looking for a great turnout.

This will be my last column for the OAPO Branch 93 news as I will be leaving Williams Lake in a few weeks and moving to Campbell River to be closer to my family.

I will miss all of my many good friends I have made over the past years, but the

INDIAN CURRY SAUTE Calories: 271 Carbohydrate: 42 g Sodium: 336 mgs Protein: 7 g Fibre: Approximately 8 g Calcium: 85 mgs Fat: 9 g Serves: 1 Preparation and Cooking time: 40 minutes — 30 minutes to get everything chopped and in the pot and another 10 minutes to finish cooking.

This is a very light curry, full of healthy vegetables, fruit and fibre. Serve it with brown rice or couscous. The recipe can be doubled, however, freezing is not recommended. Instead, save it in the fridge for the next day.

INGREDIENTS: • 2/3 cup (150 ml) finely diced carrots • 1/3 cup (75 ml) finely diced celery • 1/3 cup (75 ml) finely diced apples • 1/3 cup (75 ml) finely diced onions • 1 tsp (5 ml) curry powder • 1 tsp (5 ml) canola oil • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water • 1/4 low-sodium bouillon cube

• 1/3 cup (75 ml) chickpeas • 2 tsp (10 ml) toasted sliced almonds VARIATION: Use black beans, pinto beans, diced cooked chicken or diced cooked beef instead of chickpeas.

INSTRUCTIONS: 1.) Dice vegetables 2.) In heavy skillet (fry pan), heat oil, add vegetables and cook over medium-high heat for two to three minutes.

3.) Dissolve the 1/4 bouillon cube in 1/4 cup of water, and add to the vegetables with the chickpeas. Cook to desired tenderness.

4.) Top with toasted almonds HELPFUL HINTS: If you use canned chickpeas, drain off the liquid in the can and rinse beans well under cold water to remove some of the salt. You can save canned chickpeas in the refrigerator and add them to a salad for extra protein and fibre. Or, you could use them to make hummus in your blender — or, for a quick lunch, combine them with cooked vegetables and wrap the whole mixture in a soft whole wheat tortilla.

Williams Lake’s Kolten Carpenter (from left), Chase DuBois, Colton Thomas and Griffen Outhouse celebrate following a 2-1 double overtime win over the Regina Pat Canadians in the final of the Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary.

Cougars win Mac’s AAA title Four Williams Lake minor hockey products played a significant role in helping the Cariboo Cougars claim the prestigious Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament championship.

Goaltender Griffen Outhouse, forwards Chase DuBois and Colton Thomas and defenceman Kolten Carpenter, helped the Cougars defeat the Regina Pat Canadians, 2-1, during a nationally televised double overtime thriller on Jan. 1 at the ScotiaBank Saddledome in Calgary.

On the strength of a 40-save performance in the final Outhouse was named the tournament’s top goaltender, while

DuBois potted the winning goal just seconds into the second overtime frame.

The Cougars opened the scoring early in the first period when Wesley Shipton stole the puck deep in Regina territory. Shipton buried the puck, bar down on the short side to give the Cougars an early 1-0 lead.

The one-goal advantage was short lived, however, as the Canadians broke in on an oddman rush, capped off by some pretty passing and a nice finish

by Regina’s Owen Sillinger, to knot the game up at 1-1.

Both goaltenders remained solid throughout the remainder of regulation, keeping both

teams off the board.

After a furious 10-minute overtime frame that saw the Cougars kill off a two-minute tripping minor to Darren Hards, the B.C. club used the full intermission to rest and regroup.

The break seemed to energize the Northern B.C. boys as early in the second overtime period DuBois fired a shot from a tough angle past a surprised Curtis Megar and into the Regina goal for the game winner.

The victory was the Cougars’ first ever win at the illustrious tournament, which has a history dating back nearly 40 years and has seem some of the brightest National Hockey League stars

pass through its ranks.

Their previous best finish was an overtime loss in the quarterfinals.

The Cougars’ beat the Lethbridge Hurricanes, 6-3, the Battleford Stars, 3-1, the Markham Waxers, 5-3, the German Under-17 Nationals, 5-1, and the Calgary Buffaloes, 5-4, before downing the Pat Canadians in the championship.

The Cougars only loss came during the round robin — a 4-2 result at the hands of the Calgary Northstars.

On top of being named the tournament’s top goaltender, Outhouse was also named a first-team all-star for the event.

The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club’s Jackrabbits program is underway at the Bull Mountain Ski Area north of the lakecity.

Session dates run on Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m. and an optional session on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. For more information on registration contact info@ bullmountain.ca.

Wrestling Day literalized as grapplers celebrate unique holiday Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The first annual Wrestling Day Fun Day fundraiser held in Williams Lake, the only community that has a holiday on Jan. 2 called Wrestling Day, was very popular.

“We have had lots of kids come out to participate,” said Williams Lake Wrestling Club

instructor Sonia Conrod as she watched several youngsters wrestling on the mats.

“We’ve been having a lot of fun.”

Mayor Walt Cobb attended and cut a cake, Conrod added, saying she had been handing out fun prizes throughout the afternoon.

After three sets of young wrestlers participated in one-on-one

matches, showing off a ton of strength and energy, Conrod encouraged everyone to gather at the centre of the mats.

“This one is called royal rumble,” she explained.

“There are no twoon-ones, everyone has to remain on their hands and knees and use wrestling moves to get the others to the edge.”

The pest management methods proposed for use include physical (non-chemical) treatment methods (selective slashing, girdling, hand pulling, weed trimming, mowing, pruning, geotextiles and stump removal), the release of biological control agents (insects), cultural control methods (grass seeding), and the use of pesticides (herbicides). The common name (and examples of trade names) of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid, aminocyclopyrachlor, chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Transline), 2-4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex), flumioxazin, fluroxpyr, glyphosate (Roundup, Roundup Weathermax, Glyphos, Vantage, Vantage Plus), hexazinone (Velpar),indaziflam, imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuronmethyl, picloram (Tordon 22K), simazine (Simadex, Princep) and triclopyr (Garlon 4 or Garlon Ultra). Application methods include: foliar, soil, wick/wipe-on and cut surface, using backpack, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle, injection tools and handgun (power hose and nozzle).

The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020.

Jackson, Joan Hazel It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Joan Hazel Jackson of Williams Lake, on Saturday, December 27, 2014, at the age of 93, after a lengthy illness.

Joan was born in Brighton, England October 2, 1921. She was the youngest of 11 children. It was here that she met and married Bob Jackson, an Infantryman with the Seaforth Highlanders. They married in 1942 and after the war, in 1946, Joan came out to Vancouver where they lived for seven years and started their family. Three of their children were born in North Vancouver. In 1953 the family moved to Williams Lake where Bob worked as a shoe repairman at Tony’s Leather Goods and later opened his own shop, Bob’s Shoe Repair. Two more children were added to their family.

Joan was very active in the Hospital Auxiliary and Hospice for 25 plus years, and could always be found at either Sam Ketcham Pool, the public library or walking about Scout Island. She loved all the years she spent out at “the cabin” at Chimney Lake with all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Joan had a great zest for life and loved gardening, fishing, canoeing, being outdoors, and loved her Tai Chi, bowling and painting that she pursued over the years.

Joan will be dearly missed by all of her family and her friends.

Joan leaves to mourn her five children, 10 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren: Roberta (Kelly) Pinske of Vernon; Todd (Claudette) Pinske, Shane (Andrea) Pinske, Mike (Carolyn) Jackson of White Rock; Tracey (Troy) Wingerak, Heather (Bill) Mainland of Coquitlam; Janet (Evan Myers) Mainland, Billy (Leah) Mainland, Jenny (Ken) Huston of Williams Lake; Ryan Huston, Kelli Huston, Mary Lou (Tim Brown) McKay of Williams Lake; Trina (Daryle) Halfnights, Holden (Lacie) Brown and Andrew (Karlee) Brown.

Joan was predeceased by her husband of 60 years Bob Jackson in 2002 and her two grandsons Glen Jackson (1995) and Korbin McKay (1997).

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Williams Lake Hospice, Community Nurses, Home Care Workers, Dr. G. Fedor and all of her friends who were there to help out over the past five months.

There will be no service at Joan’s request.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Williams Lake Hospice or a charity of your choice.

Gleason, Bud (Warren) It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Bud (Warren) Gleason of Big Lake, BC on December 20, 2014 at the age of 80 years old. Bud was born in Kinloch, SK, moved west in 1950, settling in the Williams Lake area in 1972.

Bud is survived by his wife, Peggy, of 43 years; nine children: Larry (Josie), Lorna, Terry (Lennis), Kelly (Patrick), Shawna, Barry (Nichole), Warren (Coreena), Brenda (Dan), Shelly (Jeff); twenty-two grandchildren; four greatgrandchildren; and six siblings: Clifford (Hilda), Hazel (George), Clara (Royce), Vic (Sharon), Frank (Betty), Allan and Dorothy (Clarence). Bud was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Edith and brother, Joe. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Big Lake Community Hall on Saturday, January 10, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Big Lake Volunteer Fire Rescue.

A memorial service for William Edward “Billy” Petteplace Jr. will be held on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 at 11:00am at Compassionate Care Funerals located at 180 Comer Street in Williams Lake, B.C. Billy passed away very suddenly on December 9, 2014 at his home, he was 55 Years old.

Billy was born in Vancouver, BC, on August 19, 1959 to Bill and Betty Petteplace. At an early age he moved with his parents to Tujunga, California. He lived in Tujunga most of his life but moved to Williams Lake, B.C. in December 2007.

He had a kind heart, was very creative and a lover of animals. A welder by trade and a mechanic as well, Billy was able to fix or build almost anything. His most recent project was an impressive looking high handlebar bicycle. He also played the guitar and enjoyed rock and roll music.

Billy was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Betty.

He will be remembered and missed by his daughter Frankie Lee and granddaughter Joselyn of Sacramento, California.

Five siblings also in California, Joanne, Tammy, Jimmy, Tracey, Chris and their family members. His family in Williams Lake, Linda, Jeannie, Brian, Gail and their families and especially those at Jubilee Place where he lived the past 8 months.

Thank you to all who shared a part of this man’s life.

He was loved by many and will be missed by many more.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Hot Laps in the Subaru WRX STI with retired WRC Driver Tommi Mäkinen.

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

2014 car year in review It’s hard to believe that 2014 is over.

Subaru WRX STI: Where did it go? At a time when we tend MSRP $37,995-$44,995 to reflect on what we’ve done, what we The all-new 2015 Subaru WRX STI is can do better and what was awesome, an incredible car within its own right. that brings me to my personal Car Year It has a cult following and has the in Review. street cred to back it up. And just when It takes a special vehicle or experience you think you’re getting the hang of

by Alexandra Straub to stick in my memory. Not to say that putting it around the Buttonwillow short-term memory loss is a problem but Raceway in California, you let Tommi with constant streams of information bombarding Mäkinen take you for a spin. Gosh, it’s like he could my brain, it’s not hard to forget where I was and drive ten times faster, smoother and more confidently what I was testing a week ago! in his sleep. Heck, he had one arm on the windowsill Though this is a review of wheels past, because we when he wasn’t shifting or going into a tight corner. often test vehicles well ahead of their full production Moral of the story: the car makes you feel like a hero this also points to what people will be driving in even if you can’t drive like Tommi. And what a cool 2015. experience.

Let’s start small because the micro cars might be Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: miniscule in price, but aren’t about to disappoint.

MSRP $63,495 (but the new 2015 Challenger SXT Nissan Micra: MSRP Range, $9,998-$15,748 starts at an MSRP of $28,495) For under $10K, this pint-sized vehicle can be yours.

The name says it all. Put “Hell” in something and But just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s you’re bound to have a helluva good time, right? cheap. And it’s a blast to drive. Sure, 109 horsepower Especially when you have 707 horsepower at your won’t get you where you need to go in a flash, but disposal. But to say I wasn’t apprehensive to take this that’s not the point of this car. Besides, for basic beast on the track at Portland International Raceway transportation, it has the goods. would be a lie. And the reason is, American muscle cars haven’t always been the pinnacle of exceptional Ford Fiesta 1.0L, $15,999 + $1,500 for the 1.0L option; for an MSRP of $17,499 handling dynamics. Sure, it has a lot of horses, but will it get me through the corner with minimal body roll?

Ford’s smallest engine available here in Canada sure Or will the steering have enough feel that I won’t be packs a lot of punch. And considering it only weighs constantly inputting actions?

98 kg when assembled, this 1.0L, 3-cylinder powerIn this case? Hell(cat) yes. I was blown away as to plant is pretty impressive. If you opt for this bitehow well this car drove, not just on the track, but on sized engine, you’ll be getting 123 horsepower and the street, too. Disclaimer: if you need to get anywhere 125 lb-ft of torque (148 lb-ft with the overboost). The quickly, this isn’t the car for you. People will talk your Fiesta was designed and engineered in Europe so it ear off about it if you give them an opportunity. isn’t bad to look at either.

Question of the Week

Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4MATIC: MSRP $37,200 (AMG version is $50,500) Another vehicle that shone brightly is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA. The luxury compact crossover starts at under $40K but does so many things well. It has a hatchback, great styling and the fuel economy is quite good, too. I wouldn’t even need the AMG version to keep me happy. It’s just a stellar vehicle.

MINI Cooper S: MSRP starts at $25,490 Perhaps the biggest disappointment this year comes in the shape of the MINI Cooper S. I’ve loved these cars for so long, but perhaps electronics have ruined it for me. Yes, it’s much more competent and has some great features, but I miss the days of the supercharged version. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a super fun car to drive, but the downshift rev matching in the Cooper S with the manual transmission was not amazing. It was harsh and jerky. I also feel it lost a little bit of personality along its way to adulthood. I’ll forever love them, quirks and all.

Honda Fit: MSRP range $14,495-$21,295 The Fit is on my list because I think it is just such a fabulous little car. The Magic Seats really are magic, but the new touchscreen is a huge deterrent. I strongly dislike it. I like buttons. I don’t mind if there are a few to complement the screen but I feel it takes my eyes off the road for too long, even if I’m familiar with the system.

The price of gas has dropped significantly in recent weeks. If you plan to buy a car this year will lower prices at the pump encourage you to buy a larger vehicle?

Safety Tip: January is one of the worst months for crashes in B.C. with approximately 23,200 on average. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.
