Lt. Governor touches down in lakecity Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon told students at Lake City Secondary School that freedom is the most precious possession Canadians have.

“There aren’t many places in the world that you can get in a vehicle on one coast and drive thousands of miles from coast to coast to coast and nobody’s going to stop you and ask you for identification,” Guichon

said during an assembly held at the Williams Lake campus Tuesday morning.

Guichon was in Williams Lake to officially launch Thompson Rivers University’s Applied Sustainable Ranching Program, but spent time addressing students at LCSS and Nesika elementary and visiting the Seniors’ Village.

It was her first visit to the community in her official role as lieutenant governor.

Democracy is not an armchair sport, Guichon said as she

encouraged students to get involved with politics.

“Don’t just elect someone to represent you in city hall and in Victoria. Continue to give them your input, advice and counsel.”

When it was their turn to ask questions the students queried Guichon on the Syrian refugee crisis, validity of the monarchy, climate change, whether Justin Trudeau was the right choice for Prime Minister, how she was chosen for her role and whether she’d visited Williams Lake be-

“I am so excited that 70 per cent of Canadians got out and voted in the last federal election,” Guichon said. “I think it’s wonderful and we all should give ourselves a hand.”

When pressed for a personal opinion on Trudeau by one of the students, she responded that she will wait until she meets him in person.

NEWS Water discharge permit approved for Mount Polley Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mount Polley Mine’s short-term permit to treat and discharge water from the mine site has been approved by the Ministry of Environment.

The permit is needed because it is estimated that, under normal precipitation conditions, water levels in the Springer Pit will reach permitted capacity in April 2016, the ministry said Monday.

Treated water will be discharged into Hazeltine Creek and flow approximately seven kilometres to a sediment pond.

From the sediment pond, the treated water will enter a pipeline for discharge through diffusers approximately 30 to 40 metres below the surface of Quesnel Lake.

Imperial Metals vicepresident of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said the government signed off on the company’s water monitoring plan late Monday.

“Now that we have that we can begin to discharge the water,” Robertson said, noting the company has faith in the permitting process. “We live in an en-

vironment where there is a tough regulatory regime, but it works.”

With the temporary water discharge permit, the mine will only be able to store tailings in the Springer Pit and cannot use the tailings storage impoundment that breached in August 2014, Robertson added.

United Steelworkers Union president Paul French said the union is happy the permit happened sooner than later.

“We watched the process as it unfolded and saw it come out with positive results for the discharge of the water,” French said. “People are worried it’s going to be tailings water going into the lake, but it’s going to be treated water, and it’s basically groundwater.”

It was unfortunate the water discharge permit wasn’t approved five or six years ago, French added.

Of the 300 people working at Mount Polley, about 250 of them are unionized, French confirmed.

Final approval of the permit was made by a statutory decision maker from the MOE after a 30-day public consultation and comment

Mount Polley Mine will discharge treated water through Hazeltine Creek, as seen here at the end of July 2015. The water will enter a sediment pond at the end of the creek before going through a pipe into Quesnel Lake. period and a comprehensive technical review by the Cariboo Mine Development Review Committee.

The committee includes representatives from provincial agencies, First Nations, City of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District, community of Likely, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Environ-

ment Canada.

“There was extensive engagement with the Williams Lake Indian Band and Soda Creek Indian Band as well as the residents of Likely,” the ministry said.

Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond said it was a good day for the region.

“We are pleased and relieved the mine can get on with the next

steps of what needs to be done,” Richmond said. “We were worried because the water level in the Springer Pit was getting high, but the mine will have to manage that as it sees fit.”

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb echoed Richmond saying the news was an early perfect Christmas present.

“I am pleased they got to this stage,” Cobb

said.

Next week Mount Polley Mine will host two public meetings to present an application for the resumption of full-time operations it submitted mid-November.

The meetings take place Monday, Dec. 7 at the Likely community hall from 7 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Dec. 9 in Williams Lake at the

Gibraltar Room from 7 to 9 p.m.

“There is a lot of work to figure out the details for the resuming full-time operations,” Robertson said. “Part of the permitting process is to be able to allow the plan to be perfected.”

It is expected the mine will submit its completed plan by June 2016.

Guichon fields questions from Lake City secondary students Continued From Page A1 As for the refugee crisis, Canada has the opportunity to reach out to people who are caught in war and degradation, she said.

“There’s a lot to learn. It’s incumbent upon us who are well

off to help the situation.”

Guichon said in her previous life as a “cowboy,” she visited Williams Lake attending cattlemen’s meetings and was involved with rewriting the water act and regulations for range use.

After a student

asked Guichon why she was inspired to run for the position, she explained her name was one of three put forward and submitted to Ottawa for a final decision.

“It was the furthest thing from my mind, but it came at an opportune time,” she

said. “My two oldest children and I had just written up a management agreement for them to take over the ranch. Unfortunately in agriculture we often don’t have a retirement plan and this has become a wonderful retirement plan.”

Answering the cli-

mate change question Guichon said she’s an environmentalist.

“I say that knowing that all of us are environmentalists as long as we eat and breath and drink clean water. I am concerned about all of the environmental changes that we see happening. I cannot see that

we can go on being forever consumptive in this world as our populations grow.”

Before leaving Guichon presented principal Gregg Gaylord with two books for the school’s library and bookmarks for all of the students.

The bookmarks

contain information about her Sing Me A Song contest where participants are asked to create a song about Canada’s 150th birthday coming up in 2017.

Guichon said details are available on her website and entries are due by March 31, 2016.

TV AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA Your Preschooler and…

TV and Electronic Media

TV, computers and video games are a major influence in our world. Electronic media may become increasingly important in your child’s daily life as he or she grows older. However, there still is a great deal not known about its impact on children’s development. If you have them in your home, too much TV and too many electronic games may become a negative influence in your child’s life. Electronics should not take the place of books, creative play, or exercise.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Set and enforce limits. For a preschooler, a total of one hour of TV and computer time per day is a reasonable limit.

2. Set a good example. Spend your free time reading, listening to music, or exercising.

3. If your children are watching TV, sit down and watch with them. Comment on what you are seeing, or ask your child a question about what is going on.

Children should sit at least three meters away from the TV screen.

4. Watching TV or playing computer games before bed stimulates brain activity and can keep your child from falling asleep. Reading a book with your child before bed may be more relaxing.

5. Be selective as to content. Look for programming that has some age appropriate educational value.

Avoid shows that are violent or scary.

6. Keep electronics in a family area so that you can monitor their use and interact with your child while playing or watching.

7. Talk about the negatives. If you see something violent or scary, be sure to talk about it with your preschooler. For example, if you see a house fi re on the news, tell your child: “Gee, that fi re was scary, but look, no one was hurt.” Reassuring explanations can eliminate a lot of fear and confusion as your child learns more about the world.

8. If available, use a VCR to record children’s programming to have on hand.

9. Keeping the television off during meal times will make conversation a priority, which contributes to language development and learning.

10. Limit computer use. Using the computer does not necessarily help your child get ready for learning. If you choose to allow your child to use a computer, look for games and software for preschoolers that allows you and your child to experience the computer together.

Call 250-398-3839 for information on programs for preschoolers and their parent/caregiver.

Tamara Robinson and Monika Hajzer love their jobs at the Salvation Army.

Robinson is the family services co-ordinator and outreach worker.

Hajzer is the drug and alcohol counsellor.

On Friday afternoon, with the drop-in centre busy with men and women enjoying a cup of coffee, playing pool and visiting, both women said the clients really look out for each other.

“There is so much laughter, I love coming to work every day,” Hajzer said, noting she’s been on the job since October. “Right now I am getting to know the clients, building trusting relationships and getting to the root of their problems and assessing their needs.”

Together they work on sending people for treatment if that’s what they need.

“The majority of the men go to Harbour Light in Vancouver where we have a treatment facility and the women go to Life Recovery in Ab-

Once the clients return to Williams Lake Hajzer and Robinson provide one-on-one follow up counseling.

Hajzer is also working on developing an eight-week program that will be held two times in 2016, one in the spring and one in the fall.

Robinson said there is often a stigma attached to the drop-in centre,

Carriers Required for Wednesday Edition!

but since she has been working there she has noticed how the clients take ownership of the place and treat the workers with respect.

“I’ve seen them buy coffee for each other and help out when someone seems down,” Hajzer added, noting the clients will pick up on the fact she’s stressed and will offer an encouraging word.

She is in the process of starting up a men’s group and has been asking men who come to the Salvation Army for

ideas about things they would like to see the group offer.

Hajzer has done workshops on stress management and mental health before coming to work in Williams Lake and enjoys helping people set realistic goals and expectations.

Robinson grew up in the Salvation Army and did a university practicum there before coming on as a staff member.

The need continues to grow, with the latest fiscal year numbers showing 27,500 lunches

were served to the tune of $179,831 and 5,786 food bank hampers were given out.

“Last Tuesday we served 153 people for lunch” Robinson said, adding the need has been growing across the province. This year the Salvation Army has received 265 applications from families and singles for Christmas hampers, which will require $19,500 worth of gift cards. The amount is double the number of requests in 2014, Robinson said.

Justice meeting encouraging Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A meeting with the Ministry of Justice held in Williams Lake Monday determined agencies that deal with prolific offenders and crime in general need to work together more, said Mayor Walt Cobb.

“Whether it be mental health, social services, Crown Counsel, RCMP, etc. the immediate plan will be to identify those agencies, pull them together and deal with the second phase which will be prolific offender management,” Cobb said of the outcome of Monday’s meeting.

Representatives from the Ministry of Justice were in Williams Lake following up on a Blue Ribbon Panel on Crime Prevention meeting that took place in Williams Lake in 2014 and the recommendations coming out of the panel’s initial report.

Cobb said the meeting comes on the heels of some efforts locally to address problems of crime and prolific of-

fenders.

In the last year there have been some community meetings organized

by Erin and Pat Graham to talk about crime in Williams Lake and in September mayor and council met with officials from the Ministry of Justice at the Union of BC Municipalities in September.

“With direction from the ministry staff and the Premier, these different departments will be mandated to participate with this crime reduction strategy taking place, Cobb said, noting the crime reduction strategy is all inclusive with First Nations communities outside of Williams Lake working with the city.

The terms of reference that emerge locally for a crime reduction strategy could set the stage for other communities across the province, Cobb said, adding the Ministry of Justice representatives plan to return to Williams Lake in about 10 days to put a framework in place for early January 2016.

THE GIFT OF GIVING

O

ne thing about writing a newspaper column is that you seldom know if anyone actually reads it.

I was surprised when a gentleman from Toronto read a recent column and commented on it. The gentleman was upset. Either I didn’t make myself clear, or he just didn’t get my point. My point is that what one “side” sees as a justified attack, the side being attacked probably sees it differently. The attackee might even consider it to be terrorism.

I am mindful, very mindful, of the dreadful things human beings do to each other. I wish it would stop. I don’t condone violence no matter what the provocation, and no matter who is doing the killing and maiming, be it individuals or gangs or French countries. Doesn’t Connection matter who is getDiana French ting killed or hurt either, good guys or bad guys, I’m against it. Nations are constantly starting fights over what they believe is some just cause or another, or they are retaliating against someone who started a fight. Canada even butts into disagreements we should stay out of. Too often neither side actually wins. I’m outraged when innocent people, especially children, are victims, unintended or otherwise, of these battles, and just because the other guys did it doesn’t make it right. *** Remember the battle the Harper government waged against the Muslim woman who insisted on wearing her niqab while she took the oath of citizenship? The government lost two court challenges that cost $420,000 on that one. The case was a big issue in the election. Jody WilsonRaybould, the new Liberal Justice Minister, has withdrawn the government’s appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada thus putting a stop to throwing even more money at the matter. *** During the election, Justin Trudeau promised a full and open public debate on the TransPacific Partnership agreement which was secretly negotiated on Canada’s behalf by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper. There are many concerns over the contents of this agreement with twelve Pacific Rim Countries. Let’s hope that now Mr. Trudeau has the top spot he will keep this promise.

ne of the great pleasures of being an MLA is being able to announce community gaming grants to local non-profit organizations.

The money comes from the province’s gaming revenues, and each grant helps an organization fulfill its mandate and support programs and services. Last month, four Williams Lakebased environmental organizations received a combined $142,000 in community gaming grants. The Invasive Species Council of British Columbia received $100,000 for its education, awareness and training program.

The ISCBC uses gaming funds to support programs that target youth, gardeners and recreationists across the Cariboo, says executive director Gail Wallin.

MLA The Cariboo Chilcotin ConserMusings vation Society was Donna Barnett awarded a grant of $19,000 to support its sustainable life education programs, including Waste Wise classes throughout the region. This includes community education on recycling, green events and compost coaching, says executive director and education co-ordinator Marg Evans. The Williams Lake Field Naturalists received a $12,000 grant to go toward the Scout Island Nature Centre, which helps the organization provide school and community programs year round.

Children and adults will be outside with educators learning about nature first hand, how to identify a bird, recognize tracks and learn about our native plants, says Sue Hemphill, the nature centre’s environmental educator.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Invasive Plant Committee was awarded an $11,000 grant for education and outreach programs.

The society works to increase the awareness and minimize the impacts of invasive plants in our region through local education, outreach and co-ordinated management efforts, says co-ordinator Jessica Knodel.

As with most non-profit organizations, these four groups rely on the valuable contributions of their volunteers, who put in countless hours to ensure the operations run smoothly and essential tasks are carried out.

If your organization is interested in applying for a community gaming grant, information and applications can be found at https:// www.gaming.gov.bc.ca/grants/.

Let’s not harm Williams Lake’s reputation Editor: I attended the Atlantic Power open house in the summer and after seeing their presentation I am no more in favour of this proposal than before I went.

Atlantic Power took pride that they cured Williams Lake of its air quality problem.

They had before and after pictures of the valley to prove their assertion that the facility cleared the air.

Their photos showed a remarkable improvement to the air quality, but it is my belief that the improvement in air quality was due to the elimination of the Bee Hive Burners.

“In 2005 Williams Lake recorded the first and the sixth highest level of fine particulate air pollution out of 38 communities in B.C. where continuous monitoring is conducted.” (Williams Lake Air

quality round table).

The location of this facility in the valley air shed and its close proximity to the city is cause for concern not only with the burning of the ties but the storage and chipping of the ties.

The possible storage of up to 300,000 toxic railway ties is extremely scary and would be an intolerable risk to the citizens not only because of threat of fire in the storage, but toxic leaching to the ground water and the fine particulates that would be produced with the chips.

The smell that the ties would off vent is another great concern.

Having moved here from Prince George I am well aware of the negative affect that poor air quality has on the health of the community ... both physically and economically. The standard excuse to visitor’s comments on the stench was it was it was the smell of money.

It became clear at the open house that another selling point for this proposal is that Atlantic Power would be doing a great service to the country by disposing of these rail ties.

I have to ask why is Williams Lake being asked to be put at risk ... Atlantic Power is in the power generating business not the toxic waste disposal business.

If they cannot generate power in a clean, environmentally friendly way then maybe we should look at alternatives like solar or other more green technology.

To allow Atlantic Power to go through with this plan will only harm Williams Lake’s reputation and will make it harder to attract and retain retirees, professionals, and doctors who are wanting an healthy environment to live in.

Question of the week

?

I am a resident of Williams Lake.

It is with great sorrow that I find myself writing this letter, as I wish it wasn’t necessary.

Recently, there has been much controversy and strife over the refugee crisis stemming from the Middle East. I have lived in Canada my whole life, for 21 years, however, in all that time, I have never seen a single issue bring out the worst is so many of my fellow countrymen so much as the refugee crisis has.

When I was a small boy, I obviously didn’t know much about politics. I knew Canada had a prime minister, not a president; that we had the Queen on our coins, and that we would all sing O’ Canada at special events, when we would come together as a community for a common goal or purpose.

Perhaps ignorance is bliss but, as a child growing up, I felt very secure in this Canadian national identity.

I knew we as Canadians didn’t agree on everything; that’s just being human. But I

Letters aLways weLcome

felt content in the knowledge that we did the best we could; that we helped each other out, and that I would be treated with respect.

It was a good way to grow up, because every respectable citizen was a friend.

I fear that other children may not be afforded the same luxury.

We have women and children from another country literally begging for us to let them live here in Canada. In the wake of the Paris attacks, I understand why some people are cautious.

But? I have heard some other people say the most horrible, bigoted things about these refugees. I won’t give these examples the credit of being printed, but it makes me wonder: why should we have to turn away the most vulnerable people of our time?

These people literally have nowhere to go.

A similar situation happened in the Second World War. Almost six million Jewish people were killed by Nazi Germany at this time.

Some tried to flee to Canada,

roughly 900 of them on the ship MS St. Louis. We like to give ourselves a pat on the back for fighting the evil of fascism, and for liberating the Jews.

Well, let me give a dose of cold, hard reality.

Those people on board that ship did not find sanctuary here. In fact, we outright rejected them, because they were Jews.

Two-hundred-fifty-four of those people were later killed in the Nazi death camps.

The Jewish people have a saying, you know. They say: “whoever saves one, saves the world.”

Well, we didn’t save the world that day. We didn’t save it 254 times.

Please, tell me, show me, that we won’t make the same mistake again.

I would love to believe that a piece of the Canada I grew up in still exists. A Canada that would have done everything it could to save as many as it could. We can save the world this time.

Good neighbour, bad bylaws Editor: Someone please explain this to me.

We live in a cul de sac. When we got that first big dump of snow, my husband used our plow to take care of the snow in the entire cul de sac and at the end of everyone’s driveways. Our entire area was beautifully clear, and the snow was pushed into the dead centre of the cul de sac, which is exactly what the plow truck does. It was far away from where anyone drives and even the garbage and recycling trucks were able to handle it no problem.

So we did ours, and the ends of five other people’s driveways so everyone had a completely clear exit and entrance in our area.

A following morning I woke up to a “Good Neighbour Bylaw” warning that we could be fined $100 if we

do it again, because the snow was pushed into the centre, exactly where the snow removal trucks always push it, because there is no where else to put the snow here. The front of our property has boulevard parking, so there is a three foot wall with a foot of bushes on it. We have to lift the snow more than four feet and as soon as it starts to pile up it’s almost impossible to get it up and over the wall.

So here we thought we were being good neighbours, and now we get a warning that next time we’ll be fined if we do it again. I guess someone didn’t like that we helped them, because how else did bylaw even know it was us that tried to help everyone? I guess we’ll only ever do our own now.

The very first vehicle was sold at the brand new Lake City Ford location on Broadway North to John Hack from O-Netrix. John was the first person in line to purchase this 2015 Ford F-150 eco-boost pickup. On Tuesday, Dec. 1, LCF held its grand opening at the new site and foot traffic was non-stop all day long, staff said. The state-of-the-art building is definitely eye catching and the view over Williams Lake is breathtaking.

hristmas is a time to enjoy your family, but beware of spending more than you can afford. Spend within your budget.

If you haven’t made a budget in a while, this is a good time to start. Make a list of gift ideas before you head to the mall. Be aware of high pressure advertising techniques - ask yourself if they are trying to make you buy a product you had not planned to buy.

Take your time and think about each purchase, before you hand over your money (or worse yet, your credit card).

At the museum’s recent annual general meeting four incumbent board members were re-elected: Margery Schuk, Tom Curtis, LeRae Haynes and Sharon McDonald.

The museum society members also elected nine new board members: Lisa An-

derson, Minette Fawcett, Cathie Hamm, Becky Bravie, Penny Hutchinson, Mike McDonough, ShirleyPat Chamberlain, Pam Mahon and Laurie Wilson.

Longtime board member Diana French, who retired from the board this year, says she is happy to see that all 13 positions on the museum board have been filled this year, which hasn’t been the case for a number of years.

The new board is scheduled to meet later this month to elect an executive committee.

Museum memberships will also be available at the tea and bake sale for $5.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Scavenger Hunt adds new dimension to Winter Lights Festival New this year the downtown merchants are hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater Scavenger Hunt as part of the WLCBIA’s Winter Lights Festival coming up this weekend.

“We at the WLCBIA are very excited to see the how quickly the scavenger hunters can solve the clues, find the stores, and then assemble their works of sweater art,” says coordinator Kate Lines.

“We are especially looking forward to seeing the scavenger hunters in the Santa Parade wearing their Ugly Christmas Sweater cre-

ations!”

How it works

A total of 41 clues will be included in information on the hunt that will be in the Winter Lights Festival booklet that is available at the BIA office and with local merchants.

The actual hunt runs from 2 to 7 p.m., only, on Friday, Dec. 4.

Each clue leads the hunter to one of the 41 participating merchants.

When hunters arrive at a store, the merchant will sign, or stamp, the space beside the clue in their Winter Lights in-

formation booklet.

After that, the merchant will give the hunter a bag with one ugly item for their sweater, and another fun gift item.

After solving all of the clues and collecting items to decorate their sweaters participants will take their goodies and sweaters to the assembly station located at 370 Proctor Street beside Red Tomato Pies.

Hunters must provide their own sweater, but Lines says some free sweaters will also be available at the assembly station.

The assembly station will be open until 9 p.m.

Prizes for the three most ugly sweaters will be awarded.

“Once scavenger hunt participants have finished decorating their sweaters with the 41 ugly items they received from downtown merchants, they can wear them with pride and even dance in them as the local band Perfect Match performs at 370 Proctor from 7 to 9 p.m.,” Lines says.

She says all scavenger hunt participants are invited to wear their ugly Christmas sweaters in the Santa Parade

the next day, Saturday, Dec. 5 that runs from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. through the downtown core.

The muster station is located along Fourth Avenue between Procter and Cameron Streets.

'Frank's Way' or the highway: part two Barry Sale Smart 55

Frank suggested the company overseers go into the saloon and have a drink or two while the box was being filled.

Unbeknownst to the company men, Frank had instructed his hands to fill the box 3/4 full with grain, tamp it down hard, then put a layer of loose grain over the top.

That way, the box was much heavier than if it were holding just a normal amount of loose grain.

After a few drinks, Frank and the Telegraph Co. men came back out, weighed the now full box and all agreed that was the standard weight that would be used for all future boxes.

Frank got the better part of the bargain, and the Western Union Co. paid much more than they needed to over the life of the grain contract.

By the end of 1864, the profitable era had ended for many roadhouses.

The Cariboo Wagon Road was complete to Quesnel, and stagecoaches could make it from 150 Mile House

to Quesnel in less than a day, so there was no real need to stop along the way.

Frank's financial partner, G.B. Wright, was virtually bankrupt, so he sold off his interest in the Deep Creek House and farm.

Frank did not fare very well after that and soon he, too, was deep in debt.

In July, 1865, the bank foreclosed on his Deep Creek investment.

Frank decided to skip the country.

He took his best and fastest wagon, then hooked it up to his swiftest horses, piled everything he could find of value into it and he headed south as quickly as he could.

Before he left, however, Frank cut the telegraph line three miles north of Deep Creek.

The next telegraph operator up the line, Harold Yates of Soda Creek, discovered the

Deep Creek House, or the 164 Mile House. line was dead, and set out to locate the problem.

He found the break, repaired it, and went back to Soda Creek.

There was still no contact to the south, so the following day, he went looking again.

This time, five miles to the south of Deep Creek, he found another break.

Frank Way had cut out and taken some 200 feet of wire.

There was no wire at

Soda Creek to repair a break that big, so Yates had to ride to150 Mile House.

He telegraphed word of the problem south, but there was no wire at Lac La Hache or 100 Mile House, and none at 83 Mile, either.

Some wire was found at Clinton, but it took a few more days to freight it up to 150 Mile House.

In the meantime, Frank Way had made good on his escape.

He sold his team and buggy to the BC Express Company in Yale, sold off all his belongings, boarded the first steamer going downriver and was never seen in B.C. again.

The Deep Creek properties were taken over by the Bank of BC, then leased out briefly, but ultimately,

they were purchased by the federal government and set aside as Indian Reserve in 1880.

The hay fields and one or two old log outbuildings are all that remain of the 164 Mile House today.

And Frank Way? The B.C. Tribune of September, 1866, reported: "Franklin Way and Billy Armstrong, both wellknown in B.C., have made a lucky strike of gold in Montana.

The company of five, in which Way and Armstrong are involved, took out 1,600 ounces of gold from a claim in McLennan's Gulch in a very short time."

Some men are just hard to keep down!

Peggy Williams sells her creative vases during the Williams Lake Seniors' Village Craft Fair Sunday.

Artistic creativity part of a senior's routine Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In her suite at the Seniors Village Peggy Williams keeps herself busy creating art.

The 91 year old paints water colours and creates modge podge vases with fabric, using a little fold up table as her work station.

"I used to do oil paints, but my arthritis got the best of me so I changed to water colours because I can paint flat," Williams said during the Seniors Village Christmas Craft Fair where she was selling her vases.

"I used to teach beginner water colour but now I find

that's too much."

While she has painted for years, she began doing modge podge about 20 years ago, creating jewellery boxes for her grandchildren.

"I used empty oval shaped ice-cream containers, covered them with material, lace, ribbon and beads," she said.

"Before I gave them to them I put a pair of earrings inside."

Last year she decided to make some vases for the Stampede weekend craft sale and friends and family were donating fabric for her.

Pointing to different vases she said the various material came from a dress,

a sheet, scarf and blouse.

Modge Podge can be expensive but after researching on the Internet, Williams learned Elmer's glue and water works just as well.

She uses 2/3s glue and 1/3 water.

She cuts out the fabric, arranges it and then begins glueing it onto the vases, which she finds in

second hand stores.

Williams first moved to Williams Lake in 1972 when her husband David was hired on at Gibraltar Mine. David, 90, lives at Deni House and recently the couple celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

Turn on your TV set these days and all you will see and hear is the plight of the refugees streaming into

Europe and the heart wrenching stories of those stuck in refugee camps. Then there is the bombing in Paris where the mastermind of the terrorist act was actually born in

Belgium.

Turn the channel and you see the frenzied shopping of Black Fridays in the U.S. and Canada. We do indeed live in an affluent age.

Too much food (every

other person is on a diet) and too much of everything.

Yet there are those who say we should feed the hungry in Canada first.

Why are there hungry people in Canada?

We have government agencies helping the unemployed, social ser vices.

Salvation Army and the Aboriginals have

federal help.

Some church groups even give out free clothing.

On a happier note, here in Williams lake, Hub International Barton Insurance puts on their annual Christmas dinner for seniors for $10.

Pat Cullum, president on the Senior Activity Centre Society, the branch that does the actual running on the Senior Activity Centre, announced that he is stepping down, and Pam Abrahamse will be the acting president until the annual general meeting in

Joanna Wright has kindly stepped in as secretary.

The temperature has dropped and the snowbirds are all going south for the winter, but for those of us still at home, we are all busy partying and getting ready for Christmas that before you know it, it will be January and a brand new year.

Throughout her husband's working life, they spent 16 years in Yellowknife, three in Great Bear Lake and one at Carcross, Yellowknife.

He also worked in metallurgy in Indonesia for a stint.

When asked how she enjoyed living in Indonesia Williams said it was good to return to Canada.

"It was a different world there with the military," she said.

Katie Vogt (centre) leads the Maranatha Players as they perform, What Chance Have We Got? in the musical Don’t Stop Believin’ ! that starts a two-week run Thursday evening at the Maranatha Christian School.

Don’t Stop Believin’! on stage LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor Excitement builds as one of Williams Lake’s most popular traditions gears up for opening night on Thursday, Dec. 3.

The Maranatha Players are set to delight audiences this season with their musical Don’t Stop Believin’!, directed by Becky Strickland.

The play goes above and beyond to entertain, inspire and delight, says producer Val Hanet.

Hanet describes the play as a fabulous musical with anthemic songs about a bunch of inner city kids.

“They’re trying to save their community centre by participating in a TV show called We’ve Got Talent with hosts Paul Abbott and Simone Crowell,” she says.

“It has really great music that covers a bombastic range of styles and genres including tango, line dance tunes and swing music.

There’s a hint of Glee and some great 80s guitar.”

Surprises in store for the audience include hair tone delights, flying basketballs, big chorus numbers and choreography that thinks outside the box.

Grade 12 student Shelby McCauley, who has nine Maranatha productions under her belt, plays Coral Dahl, assistant at the community centre.

An excitable exuberant peoplepleaser who relates easily to the

Danielle Schuetze (left) and Brooklyn Laukkanen clown around during a break from rehearsing as the evil city counsellors who are determined to tear down the community centre in the Maranatha Player’s production of Don’t Stop Believin’!. kids, Coral is a character that Shelby says isn’t a huge stretch for her.

“I really enjoy the ‘community’ backstage with other kids you might not otherwise get to know,” Hanet says, “and the dancing and singing is a lot of fun.”

McCauley said she’d like to join Williams Lake Studio Theatre, and is looking at post-secondary

education in arts and music.

“What I really want the audience to take home with them after seeing Don’t Stop Believin’! seeing how powerful it is for students to have opportunities like this,” she explained.

“It’s so good to step out of our comfort zone and develop confidence. This is a wonderful way to reach people and influence them

in a different way.”

Grade 12 student Lliam Smith plays community centre volunteer Brady Fisher.

“He’s a character with a secret, and has strong motives for being at the centre,” Smith explains. “He gets excited about the music and about the big group number that can save the centre.”

Smith says that he can relate to the character he plays, adding that they’re the same in some ways and different in others. “We’re both nice and want to make people happy, but he’s a bit more outgoing than me.”

“This is the first time I’ve done a lead role, and this is a bit of a stretch for me. I’ve never sung in public and in this production I sing alone.

“This is such a confidencebuilder for me. I’m definitely having fun, and I know my family and friends are going to be surprised seeing me in this role,” he says.

“The main message of this play is that no matter who you are, you can do it.”

Show times for Don’t Stop Believin’! are at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3; Friday, Dec. 4; Saturday, Dec 5; Thursday, Dec. 10; and Friday, Dec 11.

Saturday, Dec. 12 shows are at 1 p.m. and at 8 p.m.

Tickets are available at The Open Book and Maranatha Christian School: $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children ages 12 and under.

The Boys and Girls Club and health care workers are offering a free HIV AIDs testing and information at the Thompson Rivers University cafeteria in Williams Lake Thursday, Dec. 3 from 1:45 to 6 p.m. for people ages 15 to 30. Pizza and beverages will be provided. There will be draw prizes including an iPad.

Kelli Woods, a.k.a. The Fairy Garden Mother, had lots of succulent plants for sale at the annual Made in the Cariboo craft fair held at the Tourism Discovery Centre last week. She left a career in social work to pursue a love for horticulture.

The Cariboo Festival society is gearing up for another year of great performances and educational adjudications.

The 2016 festival syllabus is ready for viewing at www.cariboofestival.ca, reports Michelle Erlandson.

Entering the festival is done by on-line entry as introduced this past year.

Creative writing has seen some changes as it has been combined with Speech Arts.

Look for these changes on-line and check out the dates for each discipline.

The festival will be held during the month of April 2016 and all adjudicators have been secured.

The festival begins with Calvin Dyck for Band and Instrumental (April 11-12); Catherine McCarthy for Speech Arts (April 13-15), Melanie Nicol for Vocal and Choral (April 18-20); and Cynthia Goddard for Piano (April 21-23).

The Honours Concert will wrap up the month of performances and adjudications on April 30.

Entering the festival can be done beginning Tuesday, Dec 1 through until Feb. 10, 2016.

“The whole committee is looking forward to another great year so please consider entering and supporting this worthy cause,” Erlandson says.

Campaign works to end violence against women Purple ribbons will be available at more than 60 local businesses during the annual Purple Ribbon Campaign taking place in the lakecity Dec. 1 to 10.

“This is an opportunity for women, as well as men to remember and acknowledge violence against women and speak out against violence,” says Irene Willsie, Women’s Contact Society executive director in encouraging people to pick up and wear a purple ribbon to show their sup-

port.

She notes that Sunday, Dec. 6 is also recognized nationally as a Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

The World Health Organization reports that 35 per cent of women worldwide have experienced either intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence during their lifetime, Willsie says.

And according to Statistics Canada, 2013; women between 20 and 24 are at the greatest risk of experi-

encing violence by an intimate partner: 1,128 incidents per 100,000 population.

Statistics Canada reports that a growing number of spousal violence victims are not reporting these incidents to police.

In 2009 only 22 per cent of respondents got the police involved, down from 28 per cent in 2004.

“Why does Williams Lake need to take action?” Willsie questions.

“On average the Williams Lake RCMP

receives 20 reports of assault per month: 88 per cent of those assaults are perpetrated by males and 31 per cent of the victims are female.”

She says people can work to raise awareness and stop the violence by taking the following actions.

• Listen to women and believe them and ask them how you can help.

• Make violence your business; don’t look away.

• Raise non-violent children.

• Encourage people who commit violence to get help.

• Speak up, it’s not a private matter, it’s a crime!

“Don’t be a bystander,” Willsie says. “Wear a purple ribbon and tell everyone why! Say no to violence against women.”

Bikers exposed in calendar, Riders of the Cariboo Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Mountain bikers in Williams Lake are baring almost all in a new calendar, Riders of the Cariboo.

“We wanted to get a community calendar out there of people in the biking community,” said photographer Kent Bernadet who, along with the help of Erika Driedger, organized the photography and logistics, respectively.

“I kind of brainstormed about making a calendar inspired by that fireman style [of calendar] but with faces of our community involved as models.”

In the calendar models are photographed tastefully nude, and strategically covered, for the most part.

Bernadet, a mountain biker himself, got in touch with the Williams Lake Cycling Club and decided all of the profits would go to them, donated by his company, Kent B Photography.

From there he contacted models — men and women — who he thought might be interested and organized various photo shoots in and around Williams Lake and its vast network of mountain biking trails.

“The girls involved, they had a big part in supporting it. They had fun with it,” he said. “The guys were a little harder to convince.”

Photographs of members of the riding community on their bikes, riding trails and captured in strategic locations adorn the pages of the calendar.

He said shooting the images for the calendar was a blast.

The photo editing process, meanwhile, was a bit tricky and strange at the same time, he said, noting he’d never done a project similar before.

“There were some things that had to be tucked away,” he joked.

Since the calendars arrived the project has received provincial attention. He’s been interviewed on CBC radio and word of the calendars quickly spread.

“We’ve been selling them throughout B.C. and even into Saskatchewan,” he said.

The calendars’ concept was a way for riders to give back to the WLCC, who build and maintain trails around Williams Lake.

“The biking community’s pretty active here,” he said.

“This is kind of a way to say thank you in our own way and give our part.”

Once the calendars arrived and after flipping through its pages, Bernadet said he’s thrilled with the way it turned out.

“I think we put out a good project,” he said.

“Thanks to all the models on behalf of myself and Erika. They were integral in donating their time and exposure.”

One-hundred-fifty copies of the calendar were printed, but Bernadet said they’re selling fast and there’s a possibility more will be printed.

Calendars are $20 and are available at the following locations: Red Tomato Pies, Gecko Tree Cafe, Red Shreds Bike and Board Shed and the Bean Counter Bistro.

To ship, calendars are $25 and can be ordered by contacting Bernadet by e-mail at kentbernadet@gmail.com.

Connie Walton photo

Connie Walton captured this beautiful early morning, moody moment during a visit to Scout Island last week.

Sing n’ Ring brings joy to the Christmas season St. Peter’s Anglican church invites the entire community to attend their annual Sing ‘n’ Ring event this Sunday, says Sherry Day. Sing ‘n’ Ring takes place Sunday, Dec. 6 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the church on Carson Drive.

The event is free and cash or food donations for the food bank are accepted.

“For the past few years, St. Peter’s Sing

‘n’ Ring has been a venue for folks who can’t wait to get started singing Christmas music,” Day says.

Everyone is also invited to bring a bell from home to ring when certain words appear in a song or carol.

But if you don’t have a bell, there will be bells there for people to use.

“This is a chance to sing and ring in the holiday season and

all Christmas songs, religious and secular are included. Requests from the singers and ringers will be welcomed,” Day says.

Since this year’s Sing and Ring falls on The Feast Day of St. Nicholas, she says the saint will make a special appearance as well.

“With the rays of winter sun streaming through St. Peter’s Anglican Church stained glass windows

and the resonance of bells and voices filling the space, the Christmas Spirit is really easy to catch,” Day says.

People don’t have to sing to enjoy the event. They can just come and listen.

“It’s a come and go or come and stay affair,” Day says.

“Your choice. If you can’t come at 3 p.m., come when you can.

“At 5 p.m. refreshments will be served.”

Karla Howard

Oct. 26,1951- Nov. 26, 2015 The family announces with great sadness the passing of their beloved Karla (nee Brennert) Howard. Karla went to be with the Lord on November 26, 2015 after a brief but valiant battle with cancer.

She is survived by her loving husband Joe Kurtze, her devoted father Rudolph Brennert of 100 Mile House. Loving family, children, Donald (Caroline) Howard, Jennifer (Sean) McMath, all of Prince George and her grandchildren, Kadence, Landon McMath and Alexandra Howard. She will be missed by her sister Stephanie (Siegfried) Klausat, of 100 Mile House and her brother Robert (Lori) Brennert, of Surrey. Nephew Stephan Klausat (Trish), and great nephews and nieces Tristan, Ashton, Sydney, of Kamloops, Sophia (John) Jackson, of Summerland and Kimberly (Ken) Brennert, of Vancouver.

Karla was predeceased by her mother Ursula Brennert Jan. 15, 2013.

In 2011 Karla retired from a 30 year career at Canada Post, serving well in the communities in which she lived, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Kamloops. Her dedication to great service and a strong work ethic garnered her much respect from colleagues and customers alike.

Karla loved her family beyond measure and took every opportunity to share her love, her holidays and birthdays. Her family meant everything to her. She had a passionate spirit and loved life, enjoyed music, dancing, gardening and German cooking. Highlights in Karla’s life include volunteering at the 2010 Olympics for hockey, camping in the summertime, sewing for her grandchildren and after she took up quilting, she quilted vigorously for the family.

Karla was born on October 26, 1951 in Maichingen, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1958 with her parents. She was always proud of her German roots.

She will be greatly missed by all who love her and by a community whose life she touched.

The family would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Farren and Kamloops Hospice for their compassion and care.

A celebration of life for Karla will be held on Saturday December 12, 2015, 11:00a.m. at the Christ Community Church 1132 - 8th Street Kamloops, B.C. with Pastor Mike Dejong officiating.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from 1.800.321.1433 www.jointsinmotion.ca
