IH injects hospital with $1 million-plus Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer More than $1.5 million will be spent improving hospitals in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House in the next year. Last Friday at its regular meeting in Williams Lake the Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District board unanimously approved a request from Interior Health to cover 40 per cent or $665,200 of the total costs of the

projects’ $1,663,000. “These requests we’ve received from Interior Health are more than the sum total of all the requests we’ve had from both health authorities in this region for last year,” said John Massier, who was re-elected CCRHD chair Friday. “It’s nice to see that they are freeing up capital dollars to come back in our region to get some much-needed items in our health care facilities.” In a report to the board, chief

financial officer Scott Reid said there are sufficient funds available within the CCRHD budget and financial plan to accommodate IH’s requests. Investments at CMH will include $235,000 in renovations to a secure room, $120,000 for a security system and door locking in the maternity unit, $80,000 for a telephone system upgrade and the most expensive item, an estimated $950,000 to replace the 2002 radiographic fluoroscopic

system. For its share, the 100 Mile House Hospital will receive a general radiographic system worth $278,000. Re-elected CCRHD vice-chair Margo Wagner said renovation of the 15-year-old secure room at CMH is part of a commitment made by IH last November that mental health services in the hospital be available 24 hours a day. “This is a huge step forward,” Wagner said. “It will provide safety to both patients and staff.”

Mine inspections beefed up in B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is moving to restore confidence in its mine inspection system with a $6 million budget increase and a new office dedicated to overseeing major mines. Premier Christy Clark announced the changes Monday at the annual B.C. Association for Mineral Exploration conference in Vancouver. The money comes from contingency funds in the current budget, and will be added to the base budget of the Ministry of Energy and Mines for future years. Mine inspections have been under scrutiny since the collapse of the tailings dam at Mount Polley coppergold mine near Williams Lake last summer. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett at first insisted that geotechnical inspections of large B.C. mines were

unaffected by budget cuts that reduced inspections of gravel mining and other operations, but Monday’s announcement tells a different story. “Since 2011, we’ve made significant improvements to increase geotechnical inspec-

mine tailings. Horgan said it’s unusual for any government to fund essential work like mine inspections out of contingency funds, and he’s not convinced that it really has been happening. The government refused opposition calls

tions, hire additional staff and reduce the turnaround time for notice of work permits,” Bennett said in a statement after the premier’s announcement. NDP leader John Horgan said the premier’s announcement appears to be in prepa-

ration for what he expects will be “a very damning report” on the Mount Polley situation, which is subject to multiple investigations after the earth dam around its tailings pond abruptly breached and released millions of tonnes of water and

First Nations women want visionary approach to mining Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As the Mineral Exploration Roundup 2015 got underway in Vancouver Monday, an organization of First Nation women in B.C. challenged the mining industry and provincial government to take a visionary approach to mining. “If this year’s Roundup focuses on how to hold onto control of

the industry rather than sharing it, then we will remain on a path of confrontation and B.C. will be in no position to capitalize when the markets rebound,” said Xat’sull (Soda Creek) Chief Bev Sellars, chair of First Nation Women Advocating for Responsible Mining (FNWARM). One way to create a new working relationship with First Nations is to treat seriously the

growing number of communities that are developing their own regulations to govern mining and other resource developments on their traditional lands, such as the recently released and highly detailed mining policy and regulations released by Xat’sull and three other North Shuswap First Nations impacted by the Mount Polley Mine breach last August, Sellars added.

Sellars has been the chair of FNWARM three or four years and said the organization represents women living in northern B.C. communities that are dealing with mining. “We have been involved with the Roundup before and try to keep an eye on what’s happening with mining,” she said. “There will be a number of First Nation people attending.”

to release all provincial mine inspection records, instead appointing an independent expert panel to review the Mount Polley events. Bennett visited Alaska in November to reassure state officials and fishermen about B.C. mining oversight,

after the province issued an environmental certificate to develop a major metal ore deposit near the Alaska border. The ministry expects to collect an extra $3 million a year from additional fees collected from working mines.

Mine report expected soon Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The highly anticipated final report from the independent expert panel investigating the tailings storage facility breach at Mount Polley Mine on Aug. 4, 2014 is due on or before Saturday, June 31. Since it was established on Aug. 18, the panel of three geotechnical experts has been working to identify what caused the failure and to comment on what actions could have been taken to prevent it. Before being made public, the report will be submitted to the Minis-

ter of Energy and Mines and the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands. Meanwhile, Mount Polley has been conducting environmental monitoring and studies, including testing the toxicity of affected waters and sediments since the breach. Recently the mine released a summary of its toxicity testing program and said results of this testing did not find toxicity that could be attributed to metals concentrations. Additionally a total of 53 toxicity tests using six different species, such as trout and fathead minnows, were carried

out on water samples from Polley Lake, the discharge to Hazeltine Creek, Quesnel Lake and the Quesnel River. Results of the species testing did not find toxicity that could be attributed to metals concentrations. Minnow Environmental did find a small number of responses and although they weren’t related to metals, the company recommended there be some resampling and retest of those new samples. Mount Polley said once it has results from toxicity testing done on sediment it will release that information as well.

Lakecity holding its own population wise Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cities and towns in the Cariboo Region experienced a slight population increase or remained the same in 2014. According to BC Stats population estimates, the 2014 population of the Cariboo Regional District was 63,111, a .4 per cent increase from 2013’s 62,885.

Williams Lake’s population increased by .5 percent in 2014 to 11,003 from 10,943 in 2013, although in 2011 the population was at 11,164. 100 Mile House saw a .3 per cent increase, going from 1,884 in 2013 to 1,889 in 2014 and Quesnel’s population increased by .1 per cent with 9,806 people in 2014, up from 9,801 in 2013. While the Cari-

boo’s unincorporated area saw the population increase by .4 per cent, climbing to 40,179 in 2014 from 40,023 in 2013, the community of Wells’s 2013 population of 234 remained intact in 2014. Among municipalities with populations fewer than 5,000 people, Sun Peaks Mountain reported the highest growth rate — 4.9 per cent

— from 2013 to 2014. That percentage translates into 21 additional people. “A population estimate is a measure of the current or historical population,” BC Stats noted on its website. “These estimates are consistent in aggregate with the Statistics Canada produced annual (July 1) provincial level totals.”

Esler beetle wood logged Ribboned trees in the Flat Rock Block at Esler are for two things, said Ken Day of the Williams Lake Community Forest. A drift fence is being put in for cattle that range in the area. Although the fencing is not a community forest project, any of the trees that are taken down will be set aside for the community forest to take away and sell, Day said. The CF is planning to log trees that have been impacted by the Douglas Fir bark beetle and those trees have been marked. “It’s a seasonal thing,” Day said. “We have to get those trees now before the beetles fly and infect other trees in June.”

s a city, we don’t always keep track of hometown folks who go on to do interesting things. For instance, former lakecity resident Bill Sundhu has been in the news recently as the NDP candidate for Kamloops Thompson Cariboo in the 2015 federal election, but how many of us knew that last spring he was accepted as a counsellor at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague? This entitles him to practice there either for the defence, or for a victims’ unit that might be brought to that court. The ICC, an intergovermental organization French with some 122 Connection member counDiana French tries, deals with the most heinous of offences, like genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity. The Sundhus were one of the first families from India to settle in Williams Lake. Bill was born and raised here and graduated from Columneetza. He went on to become a lawyer and practiced here for a number of years before moving on. He has an impressive resume which includes 10 years service as a provincial court judge, and an advanced degree from the prestigious human rights law program at Oxford University. In his private practice in Kamloops he specializes in criminal, family and constitutional law and human rights. *** Last fall I needed a “between seasons” jacket, and after some searching, found one that seemed to be just right. Good fit, good colour, but it’s a hoodie. I soon discovered hoodies are not for me. For one thing, I don’t need a hood. If it’s so cold that my head needs covering, I’ll wear a warmer coat. It’s bad enough that the hood sticks out and pretends it’s someone behind me, but when I’m putting the jacket on, my arm often tries to go into the hood instead of the sleeve and this results in considerable fumbling. If the weather stays mild, I guess I’ll get used to it. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Children share their favourite books and why they love to read at last year’s Family Fest. This year’s Family Fest will take place at the Gibraltar Room this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Our Viewpoint

Reach a reader If you don’t consider yourself an avid reader, literacy likely still plays a huge role in your every day life. Reading a map, ordering from a menu, following a recipe –– these seemingly simple daily routines all require literacy skills — skills that as many as 40 per cent of Cariboo Chilcotin residents struggle with, according to the Cariboo Chilcoin Partners for Literacy (CCPL). This week marks National Family Literacy Week, and is a great time to consider volunteering your literacy skills with the CCPL, set aside more time to read books or play board games with your children or simply grab a good book and carve out some leisure time to read for yourself. Family Literacy Week is a national initiative created in 1999 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. CCPL works toward improving literacy every day and promotes the Reach a Reader campaign throughout the month of January, which we here at the Tribune/Weekend Advisor support fully. It has been said time and time again that taking a few moments every day to read or do a learning activity with

children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, while helping a parent improve their skills as well. No one believes more in the power of literacy than Lil and Bruce Mack, who have been long-time champions for local literacy. Bruce is the current president of the CCPL while Lil, a retired librarian, volunteers as a director and treasurer. CCPL employs a partner-assisted learning co-ordinator to recruit and train 50 volunteer tutors in the Williams Lake and 100 Mile House area to help those with literacy challenges. Having the ability to read and write opens the door to a whole other world of possibilities and we encourage anyone struggling with literacy to contact the CCPL.

Last week, I joined my colleagues in Prince George for the 2015 B.C. Natural Resource Forum and listened to delegates, sponsors and exhibitors. At this event, we consulted and worked MLA with communities Musings in B.C. to identify needs and opporDonna Barnett tunities as they advance their economic development and investment attraction efforts. B.C.’s 150-year supply of natural gas is an opportunity to change the world. It is an opportunity to dramatically reduce air pollution. Developing and exporting LNG will grow our economy, build lasting prosperity across the province, and help support a debtfree future for B.C. In the meantime, our founding industry in this province is forestry. Like trees, growing new markets takes time and patience. For thousands of years in B.C. one thing has remained constant: the land sustains us. From liquefied natural gas to forestry, mining, manufacturing and beyond — we need to get to ‘yes’ on projects that support families and make communities more sustainable for the long term. If we grasp the opportunities before us, we will not only be growing our economy but growing communities like ours in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Our government is determined to make this province an economic engine of Canada. We can do this by working with industry, First Nations, and other levels of government to pursue initiatives that further grow our natural resource industries — and that respect, sustain and improve our communities in the best interests of all British Columbians. We will continue to look at ways to say yes to job growth, yes to responsible resource development, yes to developing a skilled workforce, and yes to an improved quality of life for all British Columbians. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Tips for raising strong readers Question of the week Editor:

There are many excellent books and resources available on the topic of raising strong readers. One such resource, published in 2014, is Book Smart: How to Develop and Support Successful, Motivated Readers, by Ph.D. psychologists and educators, Anne E. Cunningham, and Jamie Zibulsky. This volume is a treasure trove of valuable information for parents and educators interested helping kids get on the path to independent reading. In addition to benefits like knowledge comprehension, the authors exemplify how reading together can enrich social and emotional development, and spark a passion in oral and written language that can provide pleasure across a lifetime. The following tips and hints are a few of the many nuggets of information contained in the book Make reading a shared experience. Shared reading refers to the practice of reading together with your child, and there are many ways it can take place.

Some shared reading experiences include parent-directed shared reading, where the parent reads the story to the child or child-directed shared reading is where the child reads the story to the parent. In another shared reading experience the child tells the story based on picture or text clues, or joint reading, where the parent and child take turns reading. Cunningham and Zibulsky point out that when children get to play a more active role in shared reading this has been shown to increase vocabulary development and help children learn to identify letters and words more quickly. Use specific praise to keep motivation high. Because shared reading is time spent together, the initial pleasure derived from reading may come simply from spending quality time with you. Praise and encouragement is highly motivating, and makes shared reading time special and rewarding. Keep an eye on how much screen time your child is exposed to:

According to the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP), hold off on television viewing and the use of digital media for children under the age of two, and for children over the age of two, limit screen time to less than one to two hours per day. In their study, the AAP found that for each hour a child under the age of two spent alone in front of a screen, they missed out on close to the same amount of time interacting with parents and/or siblings. So, one hour spend watching the television, meant about one hour not spent interacting with people, and therefore missing out on enriching learning and language development opportunities. While technology has some great benefits, including the ability to immediately access materials you want to watch, read, or download, the general rule of thumb is to use technology as a supplement to language and literacy activities, not as a substitute for them. Caroline Derksen Williams Lake Librarian

Family activities to promote literacy at home Family activities you can do in the home and community to practice and promote literacy: • Read together • Make a shopping list

• Search the Internet • Play games • Build puzzles • Sing songs • Paint together

• Go on a nature walk • Write cards or letters • Look for signs • Draw together • Dance together

I read all of Ian Rankin’s books last year — the Inspector Rebus series. I totally recommend them. After that, not sure what I am going to tackle this year.

Mural artist Dwayne Davis and painter and nature illustrator Lee Sollenberger guided participants through the steps and procedures required to produce beautiful artwork, which will be displayed at the society’s May show at the Station House Gallery titled Collaboration — Paint it Forward. “It’s amazing how many steps and details go into this,” said workshop participant Yvette Rogers. Participants worked in up to groups of three on scenic murals of sights from in and around Williams Lake, guided by just a small image of the locations. Most, some with artistic backgrounds in

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few. “While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.” Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself. It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed. Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants! Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.

REACH A READER: Celebrating Family Literacy Week

Regional council focuses on literacy gaps Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer When three local educators formed a regional educational council last spring they had one priority — to address literacy gaps in the region. “It’s a chronic problem,” said Dr. Ray Sanders, director of Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake Campus. Sanders, along with School District 27 Mark Thiessen and Bruce Mack, president of the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy formed the council. “It is important that we work together to find solutions to the literacy and educational deficiencies in our area,” Sanders said. To help meet that goal, the council held a meeting in October and invited staff from local organizations to share information about the services they offer. “We invited them to make a presentation on who they serve, and talk about what needs are and aren’t being met,” Mack said. “It was enlightening to learn about the range of services that exist and the restraints.” For example, Mack explained that organizational mandates can result in people being denied access to literacy programs. Someone who works more than 20 hours a week may not be eligible for a literacy program. “That’s tough because a parent could be working to try and support a family and not get the help they need,” Mack said. Thiessen said in the past people didn’t necessarily have to be

If those needs cannot be met at the local alternative school, TRU or employment centres, where do people go is the concern. “Sometimes people take big risks and admit to their inabilities when it comes to literacy and if we cannot meet their needs, they may not come back again,” Thiessen said. “If we know what everyone’s doing then we know where we can re-

fer people.” Mack has been involved with literacy since the mid 90s and said there have been improvements in some areas, especially because people are more willing to come forward and ask for help. “There have been key figures who have come out publicly about their difficulties and that really helps because other people with difficulties realize they are not alone.” And early learning programs such as Aboriginal Headstart,

Books for Babies, Strongstart and Success by Six are helping more children arrive in kindergarten better prepared. In other areas some thing haven’t changed and it’s a real challenge. The Cariboo-Chilcotin remains in the bottom quarter when it comes to literacy. “Literacy is complex,” Mack said. “We have people who have the skills who don’t use them and we still have students in the school system who don’t pick up the skills they need.”

Change a life by volunteering with partners for literacy Claire Schreiner Special to Tribune/Advisor Volunteers are the backbone of many organizations and Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy is no exception. CCPL provides the opportunity to work with many different groups of people and individuals such as seniors wanting to learn about technology, people needing to upgrade reading and math for job training or new cit-

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK

izens wanting to practice English. Last year CCPL received funding for a project which placed seniors working with high school students and CCPL staff to learn technology and publish a book of stories from seniors in the Cariboo. My favourite pastime is puppetry. As a volunteer with CCPL, I have been able to work with the Williams Lake Library to perform puppet shows for

children, organize shows for community events (even at Senior’s Village) and also teach puppetry at schools and for other groups of children and adults. CCPL also needs volunteers to read to senior, help at yearly community events such as the upcoming Family Fest, Children’s Festival and family golf event at Bell-E-Acres. Volunteers also help manage programs such as the Bright Red Bookshelf and Books for Babies.

If you are considering volunteering, ask yourself these questions: Do I like to meet new people? Do I want to feel that I am helping someone? Do I have an hour or two a week? Do I have some skills/knowledge to share? CCPL trains new tutors to use those skills.

Kirsten Stark Special to Tribune/Advisor It is impossible to live your life without money and to get the most out of it you should have a budget. It’s never too early or late to start. Encouraging children to budget an allowance or money that is gifted to them for a birthday will help them build skills that they will need as they get older. These skills make it easier to do all the things you want and are great skills to have in the workplace. Once you are working, a budget helps you do all the things you want to do now and in the future. If you have children then a budget will help you take care of their needs. As you get older a budget will help you reduce how much you have to work or allow you to retire. When you retire a budget can help you live more comfortably on a lower or fixed income. Save as much as you can, as often as you can. There are so many

Don’t put off saving just because you are unsure of your options. A basic savings account is a great place to start and as your savings grow you will have more choices. It’s easy to get carried away with money and develop bad spending habits. Track how much you have really spent at the end of every month and see how close to your budget you were.

When you start to do this, you will discover what matters to you the most. Here are some comments from people who took part in our workshops and have already benefitted by improving their financial literacy skills; “It made me realize how much I’m losing on slurpees,” one said. “I have very risky attitudes and behaviour about wants and unnecessary expenses,” said another. Remember that

money is a tool and budgeting is a skill. Put the two together they will help you live life your way.

REACH A READER 2015 Celebrating 10 years of Family Fest D OCKSIDE H AIRCUTS TUESDAY TO SATURDAY

WHEELCHAIR ACCESS AND PARKING • WALK-INS & APPOINTMENTS

Kirsten Stark Special to Tribune/Advisor In May 2004, as part of the Williams Lake Rotarians legacy project, the idea of Family Fest was born. Its goal was to provide families with a low cost/no cost literacy related event in the last days of winter. In addition to supplying the free books, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) has co-ordinated the event for the last seven years. Family Fest has grown into a much loved, free, annual community event that is enjoyed by hundreds of visitors each year. It helps raise awareness about the importance of literacy and early childhood development and is made possible by the long term support and sponsorship from Success by 6, Children First, School District 27 and the Early Childhood Development Network.

This year marks the 10th annual Family Fest which is set to take place this Sunday, Feb 1 at the Gibraltar Room. The location was moved from Marie Sharpe to the complex to accomodate families attending the First annual Williams Lake Winter Carnival in Boitanio Park. Family Fest encourages literacy as a family activity. It helps parents understand their role through demonstrations and play based learning. The event is also aimed at helping parents recognize and be-

come actively involved in early literacy related events in their child’s development. Every child receives at least one new book to take home and each family receives a reusable Family Fest bag containing literacy re-

lated information and activities, so the fun can continue at home. From puppet shows to remote control cars, face painting or reading a story with Sir Read A Lot (CCPL’s Moose Mascot), there is something for children of all

ages to enjoy. For the last nine years Family Fest has been the most fun thing to do in February, but with the First Annual Williams Lake Winter Carnival coming along, there could be some competition for the top spot. So to make it easier for families to enjoy both events, this year Family Fest is moving to the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Family Fest is on Sunday, Feb. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More information on all our programs is available on our website www.caribooliteracy. com or join us on our Facebook page. If you would like to volunteer, become a sponsor or take part in future events, please contact kirsten@caribooliteracy.com Kirsten Stark is a Family Fest Coordinator with Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy.

dorsed a resolution to submit two grant applications to the New Building Canada - Small Communities Fund (SCF). The first funding request is for 2/3 funding of the proposed Mountview Water and Sewer project. The approximate cost of the entire project is $25M. The regional district will also be submitting an application to the SCF fund for 2/3 funding of the 108 Mile Water Treatment Plant. A total of $800,000 of Community Works funds has already been secured by the CRD board of directors for this project. If these applications are approved, the CRD will be required to hold referendums within six months of approval in order to establish a local service and authorize the borrowing of funds to complete the projects. Likely and District Chamber of Commerce Receives Support The CRD will be issuing a letter in support of the Likely and District Chamber of Commerce application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust Business Façade Improvement Program. The funding will be used to support the implementation of improvements to business facades in Likely in order to refresh the downtown business area and attract people to the area. Community Works Funding Approved The Regional District Board authorized funds from the Community Works Funding program to install a potable water system at the Likely Community Hall. The direct project cost is approximately $22,970. The potable water system will allow the community hall to provide safe drinking water to users while also increasing the hall’s attractiveness for potential renters and events.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Wednesday, Jan. 28

Powder Kings meeting The Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club is hosting a meeting Wednesday, Jan. 28 at CJ’S Southwestern Grill to discuss club activities and happenings. The Powder Kings are looking for public input from any and all snowmobilers. The meeting gets underway at 7 p.m.

Fourteen riders turned out for a day of trail riding with the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club for the Frost Creek Ride on Jan. 10, covering more than 100 kilometres of mostly powder on old logging roads, small meadows and lakes.

Powder Kings growing membership through group rides, fun events Greg Sabatino Staff Writer For more than 20 years the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club has been active in promoting and maintaining snowmobiling in the Cariboo Chilcotin. Today, roughly 80 people don club memberships — a long ways away from where the club was at the beginning of the 2013 season and on the brink of folding. “Our membership was way down,” said Laurie Snowball, a WLPK director. “That year we went up to 49, and now we’re up to over 80. People are supporting what we’re trying to do, and we want everyone to love the sport.” Snowball said it’s a testament to the hard work of club volunteers who put in countless hours of planning and organizing group rides, plus grooming the trails at Yank’s Peak and keeping the safety cabin in solid working order. This year’s executive includes president Mark Snowball, vice president Gilbert Rich, secretary Henry Van Soest, treasurer Dave Herrling and direc-

tors Rick Jelly, Mark Oerlemans, Rick Seibert, Laurie Snowball, Dawn Unruh, Emma Wiggens and Gilbert Quesnelle. So far this season several group rides have been a huge success, she said, and added many more are coming up for riders to enjoy. “These aren’t just for club members,” Snowball said. “These are for everyone to enjoy.” On Dec. 28 the club hosted a Yank’s Peak Parking Lot Appreciation bonfire, serving hot dogs and hot and cold drinks. “It was so well received,” she said. “We couldn’t believe it — about 60 riders participated, and because it was such a fun thing we’re going to do it again this season.” Later, on Jan. 10, club secretary Henry Van Soest hosted the Frost Creek Ride, which 14 people participated in, before Quesnelle and Debbie Dunn held the club’s most recent outing on Jan. 17 — a 90-mile round trip from Chimney Lake to Tenee-ah Lodge at Spout Lake. Now, the WLPK are preparing to host its annual Sweetheart

Ride on Feb. 14 from the Yank’s Peak parking lot to Wells where participants will be treated to a Valentine’s Day Dinner and Raffle featuring live music at the Wells Legion. After that, on March 7, Rick Seibert will host the Annual Yank’s Peak Challenge and Fun Day featuring a barbecue and some fun events. A big asset to the club, Snowball said, is the riding area at Yank’s Peak and its safety cabin, where the WLPK have a provincial trail agreement. “There’s a KIOSK in the parking lot, washrooms, about 20 miles of trails to the safety cabin, signage and the safety cabin is in a snowmobile-only area with an emergency radio, wood stove, couches, first aid equipment, a sitting area and an upstairs with foamies if for some reason people need to sleep there,” Snowball said. “It’s a safe, dry place in case people get lost or need to warm up built in the late 90s, early 2000s, by volunteers.” Snowball said as the club continues to grow there’s the potential to purchase a newer groomer

to hopefully speed up the process. “That’s definitely something we’re looking at in the near future,” she said. Recently the WLPK were the recipients of a $5,000 donation from the Williams Lake Log Haulers Association to be used to upgrade signage at Yank’s Peak and the Powder Kings Trail, which connects to the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail. “Thanks to them for that,” Snowball said. Yearly Memberships — $100 for adults and $70 for youths and seniors — to the WLPK are available at Spectra Power Sports, Gordos Rentals or from club president Mark Snowball by calling 250-398-5328. Daily trail passes are available at Sun Valley Gas, Likely Service and the Likely Lodge. For more information on the club visit its website at www. wlpowderkings.com or like their Facebook page — featuring upto-date information on grooming and conditions — by searching for Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club.

The Williams Lake Stampeders, after an 11-4 road win against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks Jan. 17 in its last regular season game, will begin playoffs Jan. 31 in Quesnel against the Quesnel Kangaroos. The Stampeders finished first in the East Division and first in the Central Interior Hockey League with 15 wins and one loss, while the Kangaroos amassed an eightwin, seven-loss and one-overtimeloss record for second in the East.

Grey Fox leading rec hockey league It’s going to be a fight to the finish in the Williams Lake Recreational Hockey League with just over one month left in the season. The last regular season game goes March 6, with playoffs to start after spring break. Teams placing first to fourth will play for the ‘A’ championship, while teams placing fifth to eighth will play for the ‘B’ championship. Currently sitting on top of the standings is Grey Fox with a 14win, two-loss record, led by Bill McGinnis (22-25-47) and Darcy Edinger (14-25-39). With three less games played, however, ONetrix is right on Grey Fox’s heels with 12 wins and one loss. O-

Netrix’s Lee Williston (20-27-47) is currently the co-top point getter in the league, tied with McGinnis. Rounding out the standings are Pioneer in third place (8-6-0), Dog Creek in fourth (76-1), Sight and Sound in fifth (5-7-1), James Western Star in sixth (3-10-1), Buffalo Creek in seventh (2-8-2) and the Firemen in eighth (1-12-1). Cougars split weekend games The Cariboo Cougars’, with forwards Chase Dubois, Colton Thomas, defenceman Kolten Carpenter, and goaltender Griffen Outhouse, road trip got off to a rough start, but

ended on a high note. After a broken down bus delayed their arrival in Richmond for the second BC Major Midget League showcase weekend, the Cougars dropped a 3-2 decision to the Valley West Hawks on Saturday. The Cougars rebounded with a 2-1 win over the Hawks on Sunday. Steven Jandric and Thomas scored in the second game of the weekend, propelling the Cougars to victory and a league-leading 26-5-1 record. On Saturday Darren Hards and Joel Patsey each scored second-period power-play goals, as the Cougars led 2-1 after 40 minutes.

But the Hawks responded with a pair of third period goals for the come-from-behind win. The Cougars are back on home ice in Prince George next weekend as they welcome the Kootenay Ice to Kin 1. Saturday’s game goes at 7:15 p.m., while Sunday’s rematch is set for 8:30 a.m. Saturday, the Cougars will host their fifth annual Jameson Jones Night. The Cougars will be accepting donations at the door which will go to BC Children’s Hospital, and also welcome some special guests to the rink as the Cats plan on raising their Mac’s Midget AAA Championship banner.

set of lights went out one by one revealing the horse and rider illuminated by close sticks finishing our grand entry lap in a darkened arena as the crowd stomped its feet and cheered,” Ward said. “We entered the arena at full speed performing our amazing show and received a standing ovation.” Ward said the team

appreciates the work Young did in taking its youngest member, Trinity, under her wing and for keeping her safe. “We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to Gail Barker, Ron and Rod and all their committee members for their sponsorship, kindness and generosity,” she said. “We’d like to thank Tammy Foot

for housing our horses, as well as the Williams Lake Stampede Association and Allison Everett and Doug White for the use of their arenas to prepare for this event.” She added the City of Williams Lake, the GOAT FM and Cariboo Country and the Williams Lake Tribune were all great in their support. Lastly, Ward gave huge praise to the team’s coach, John Young of Young’s Performance Horses, for all his help and leadership. The Mane Events runs every October with up to 22,000 people attending each year. With several events already lined up 2015 is shaping up to be an active year for the cowgirls. “We’re looking forward to our already busy 2015 rodeo season,” Ward said.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Spectra Energy is revising their current Integrated Pest Management Plans (IPMP) under British Columbia’s Integrated Pest Management Act and associated regulations. Under these regulations our plans are required to be revised every five years. The purpose of this revision is to ensure safe and effective vegetation and invasive weed control by utilizing the most current integrated pest management techniques along Spectra Energy’s pipeline right-of-ways, facilities and related infrastructure. These IPMPs will cover various activities within the following regional districts and associated communities: Peace River, Fraser-Fort George, Cariboo, ThompsonNicola, and Fraser Valley, including the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality. Under these newly developed integrated pest management plans, the following selective methods are proposed and may be used alone or in combination, depending on particular local circumstances: • Integrated vegetation control measures that include mechanical, manual, cultural, prevention, biological and herbicide. • Trade names of herbicides that may be included as part of these integrated pest management plans: Vantage XRT, Roundup, Vision Max, Sightline, Clearview, Milestone, Arsenal, Navius VM, Escort, Tordon 22K, Tordon 101, Garlon XRT, Vanquish, Overdrive, Banvel, Telar, 2,4-D amine, MCPA, Karmex, Truvist, Esplanade SC, Transline, Lontrel 360 and Chontrol Peat Paste. • Active ingredients in these products are: Aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, diflunfenzopyr, MCPA, Picloram, 2,4-D, Chlorsulfuron, Triclopyr, Dicamba, Diuron, Aminocyclopyrachlor, Indaziflam, Imazapyr, Clopyralid, Glyphosate and Chondrostereum purpureum which is a biological natural-occurring fungus used to inhibit regrowth when applied to cut stumps. The proposed effective date for these IPMPs for Spectra Energy’s BC Pipeline, Field Services and Midstream business units is June 15, 2015 to June 14, 2020.
