Mount Polley Mine updates community Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mount Polley Mine representatives were on hand in the Gilbraltar Room Wednesday evening to share information regarding its current operations, such as water management, with about 50 area residents and community leaders.

Discussions ranged from options for tailings storage, including the resurrection of the original tailings impoundment facility which breached in 2014, to longterm water management plans as the company eyes a full restart by some time in 2016. The meeting

was the second of two updates given by the company this week, the other held in Likely Monday evening.

Jerry Vandenberg, environmental chemist from Golder Associates who is working with Mount Polley Mine’s water discharge plan said Quesnel Lake continues to meet drinking water quality guidelines.

“All tailings and water collected at the mine is sent to the Springer Pit,” Vandenberg said, adding it is important to know that no tailings will be discharged into the environment.

Water is monitored at the

Springer Pit, before and after the treatment plant, in Hazeltine Creek and at the 100 metre dilution zone in Quesnel Lake, he said.

Hubert Bunce with the Ministry of Environment said the water guidelines are developed with the receiving environment in mind.

The mine must submit a plan for long term water management

by June 2016 and is presently considering various options, Vandenberg said.

Some of the options include implementing a passive or semipassive treatment system, such as

using wetlands.

The water treatment plant may or may not remain in place, he noted, but sources would be preferentially treated and diverted back into natural watersheds such as Bootjack Lake rather than discharging it all through one pipeline.

“There isn’t any definite plan in place yet,” he said.

The mine is also proposing to use its original tailings storage facility.

ARM looks to secure First Nations Woodlands Licence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer For the last six years the community of Esket (Alkali Lake) 45 minutes south of Williams Lake has been building capacity to manage the land.

“It’s our number one focus,” said Gord Chipman, the forester who manages Alkali Resource Management (ARM).

In 2001 Esket was awarded the second community forest in the province and this coming March will see it renewed for another 25 years.

“In the community forest we manage 30,000 hectares,” Chipman said.

“Half of it is mule deer winter range which from a harvesting and silviculture perspective has lots of restrictions.”

Logging of Douglas-fir beetle killed trees is keeping logging contractors busy in the Alkali Lake Community Forest.

Currently ARM is working on creating another tenure in the form of a First Nations Woodlands Licence which would give the band an additional 60,000 hectares.

“We’ve been working on that application

for three years and will hopefully have it awarded by 2016,” Chipman said.

Recently ARM established a joint venture with the First Nation community of Toosey’s Chilcotin Plateau Enterprises Ltd.

Together the two groups are managing the National Defence Area near Riske Creek, identifying cut blocks, logging, and in the near future hopefully tree planting and spacing, Chipman added.

There are 18 people

working in ARM’s woodlands department doing planning, timber cruising, timber development by establishing cut blocks and roads.

Spacing supervisor Anthony Robbins said two to four crews of five spacers have been busy this season spacing.

They have about 60 hectares of spacing left to do which will be completed in about two months.

“I never really thought I’d be here working in forestry, but I’m busy with the spacing, road building, slash burning and tree planting,” Robbins said.

Bev Hutchinson, ARM’s registered forest technician in training, started off as a secretary and under Chipman’s encouragement tackled other duties until she eventually enrolled in

Independent Peer Review Panel comprised Continued From Page A1 “We believe the existing storage facility is the best site,” said Andy Haynes, senior engineer with Gold-

er Associates.

Modifications made to the existing tailings storage since the breach mean it will have a smaller pond holding a maximum of 1.5 mil-

lion cubic metres of water, instead of 10 million cubic metres, wide beaches, drainage of the tailings and a flattened embankment that is less steep than the origi-

nal design.

Mount Polley has also appointed an Independent Peer Review Panel comprised of John Brodie, Nigel Skermer and Rod Smith.

Haynes said the panel has met twice and will meet a third time on Dec. 21, 2015.

“Their mandate is to confirm that the design and operation

the forestry program at BCIT. Now the 30-year-old is the company’s harvesting and silviculture supervisor.

She checks the roads and skid trails, organizes the trucking cycles, regulates compliance for old growth management areas and the mule deer winter ranges.

This May 10 community members and Blue Collar Silviculture Ltd. out of Quesnel planted 300,000 trees in the community forest, while 100,000 of those trees came from ARM’s own seeds.

“We picked enough cones from the community forest to plant 25 million trees,” Chipman said. “The seeds are being housed at the Ministry of Forests seed centre in Surrey.”

Francis Johnson grew up at Esket and is ARM’s planning and development forester.

A graduate from Thompson Rivers University in natural resource science, Johnson said his community wants to be independent and have its own economy.

“I’m proud of the fact that since we opened our doors to create opportunities in 2010, three people have gone to school to study resource management,” Johnson said, adding ARM has a scholarship program to send people to school.

“We believe we have a great future. This year we had 73 people with records of employment.”

AN APPLE A DAY...

The first kidney transplant was performed in 1954. It was a real milestone in medicine. Today it is a very common procedure which saves the lives of many and gives them back a regular life. The only problem is that there are not enough people signing up to be an organ donor so the demand always outpaces the supply If you aren’t already an organ donor, consider signing up today.

Oh, the ingenuity of medical researchers ... in England they have developed a capsule which contains a spongey material. The patient swallows the capsule which has a string attached. The capsule dissolves and releases an expanding sponge which is then pulled back up the esophagus and it takes cell samples on the way up. It might provide an earlier diagnosis for esophageal cancer.

If you have ever had shingles, it’s no fun. If you have singles, you cannot give them to another person. But the virus causing shingles, varicella zoster, can be spread to another person who has never had chickenpox and actually give that person chickenpox. Just a reminder, a person is not infectious before the shingle blisters occur or after the blisters have crusted over.

Chickenpox was just part of growing up in the 20th Century. It caused a lot of misery for children and parents alike. Today we have a chickenpox vaccine and we also have a vaccine for shingles.

For information about vaccines for your child or you, talk to our pharmacists. We’d be happy to tell you what is available and how they work.

Public Advisory Notice Cariboo Region Lake Aerators

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake • Dewar Lake

The city’s 20-year-old communication system for water and sewer will receive a $360,000 upgrade.

Of the five tenders ranging from $360,220

to $965,960 MPC Consulting Ltd. of Sidney, B.C. was selected.

Known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), the existing system has become unreliable and incompatible with newer hardware/software tech-

approved awarding the contracts, Coun. Ivan Bonnell said the budget for the project will have no impact on the user rates.

“It will be completely funded by water and sewer accounts,” Bonnell said.

Learning Esket’s history part of the job Continued From Page A3 One of the exciting aspects of Johnson’s job is continually learning about the Esket people’s historical and traditional use of the area.

“We found three different village sites, two within the community forest and one adjacent to it,” Johnson said. “We take elders on tours to help us identify the history and settlement patterns.”

Before moving into houses, the people lived in quiggly holes, which along with culturally modified trees, tools and arrowheads have been discovered by researchers and locals.

“We even found a carved trail on the side of a hill,” Johnson said, noting all of these types of areas have to be protected under the heritage act and any recommendations by the band.

“We have four village sites on the west side of the Fraser River too. In fact Esket is actually five or six communities made into one.”

Esket is located in a dry belt Douglas-fir forest,

Two years ago crews removed about 70 per cent of the trees in an area along Place Lake Road that had been logged in the 70s.

The trees at the edge of the forest closest to the road are left intact for about 10 metres, so hunters cannot see into the forest easily, Chipman said.

Esket also jointly owns Ecolink Forest Services with Tolko Industries Ltd. Ecolink recently celebrated 25 years of operation.

In August, loggers began harvesting Douglasfir beetle infested trees,

and of the total 40,000 cubic metres that will be harvested in the community forest this year, three quarters will be beetle attacked trees.

“Ecolink is set up to do 20 logging truck loads a day,” Chipman said.

Pointing to the hillside on the north end of the community forest, Chipman said it looks a lot better than it did in the summer because the red coloured Douglas-fir beetle infected trees have been removed.

“We have been in here for about five years chasing beetle kill. A lot of it came from the Dog Creek fire in 2010.”

Another aspect of the community forest is grassland management.

Core sampling of mud taken from Alixton Lake a few years ago revealed

the area was all grasslands thousands of years ago.

Today there are about 1,000 hectares of grasslands within the community forest to manage.

In his personal life Chipman coaches for his son’s team in Williams Lake Minor Hockey.

“My job as manager is a lot like coaching,” he said. “I am here to coach these guys for the future.”

Crediting the support the resource management programs receive locally, Chipman said the community recognizes the difference between business and politics.

“We have an independent board of directors who are not politically driven, but focused on the community,” he said.

“Council deals with politics and gives us the license to manage.”

The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators.

Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis).

The biomass boiler system was selected due to cost efficient heating, low CO2 emissions and an abundant supply of wood pellets in Williams Lake.

“We plan to have the boiler system up and running in March of 2016,” Futcher said, adding other phases of the project will be completed by the fall of 2016.

Ways to deal with holiday stress The holiday season can be a time of good cheer, with excitement over gift giving and spending time with family, the joy of attending seasonal events and the wonder of viewing colourfully decorated homes and public areas.

But not everyone has a rosy impression of the season.

Many things can leave one feeling added stress, and at worst, depression.

Worries over money are common.

Many of us place a lot of pressure on ourselves to find the right gifts for people, or feel like we’ve spent enough.

Others worry that they simply won’t have enough to buy gifts for children or others.

In traditional and blended families, the pull can be strong to try pleasing everyone and

scheduling a gathering time that works for all, regardless of how unrealistic it may be.

For people who lost a loved one during the year and are facing the first Christmas without them, grief can take a heavy toll.

People are reminded to acknowledge their feelings, whether those are sadness, anxiety, being overwhelmed, or others.

Reaching out to friends or family members, maybe going out for coffee or lunch to talk things over, can be a good way to avoid feeling isolated or to prevent resentment from brewing inside.

Whatever you do, as told to us by Salvation Army Capt.

Ben Lippers, don’t spend Christmas alone.

Shop locally to support businesses this Christmas Mayor Walt Cobb, city hall, the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce, the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Area and all those who make a living selling goods and products in our city empathetically urge citizens to shop local for the Christmas season.

We have a pretty good selection of merchandise and services in this city, however, there are just some things you can’t buy.

So, you shop wherever you can to buy the product at a reasonable price.

The biggest problem now is quite a few people shop online

on places like Amazon.

Williams Lake is not the only community facing the problem of shopping on the Internet.

So, what can you do as a business person in Williams Lake to attract customers into your establishment rather than have them shopping by pecking on their keyboards?

I believe customer service, keeping your products well displayed and making your customers feel good about their buying experience is a big key to having people shop at home.

Canadian Tire owner Jim Anderson has made some excellent renovations to his store which includes interesting log work done by Pioneer Log Homes and The Brick has moved into the mall, while

City Furniture from Quesnel has moved into their old location.

You, of course, know this but I believe that change in the right direction is an attractant.

By shopping in town you keep jobs in Williams Lake and help stores stay open for business.

The more businesses that remain open the more chance we have for our community to attract newcomers because more folks will move to an area that looks, and is, progressive.

I believe locally-owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic impacts

to the community and to our tax base.

The local business community is hit, big time, every year for donations. Many of these businesses dig deep into their pockets to give to hard-working service clubs and organizations who also make our community a better place to live.

It is easy to shop online, folks, but I doubt shopping at Amazon has created many benefits for our city.

Take some time this Christmas season to shop local. Your community will love you for it.

Business not as usual on B.C. farmland Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products.

After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020.

It’s a mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging higher-value production of a wider range of products.

The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production.

It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing.

This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales on Agricultural Land Reserve property.

Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation.

B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the average age of farmers increases.

Opposition MLAs formed their own agriculture committee to tour the province over the past year, chaired by NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham and independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington.

Their report speaks to some of the issues not discussed by the government.

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

One of those is foreign purchase of farmland, a matter subject to regulation in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba but not B.C. Properties have also been purchased to grow hay for export to Asia, and Huntington says she continues to hear of costly farmland in Delta and Surrey being bought at prices longestablished farm families can’t afford.

We’ve seen a British food and drug conglomerate buy up B.C. Interior farms to plant trees for carbon offsets, a project that was wound down after local protests. Popham and Huntington are calling for a systematic inventory of foreign purchases, to determine if regulation is needed here as climate change shifts growing patterns.

Popham argues that with California enduring years of drought, B.C. can’t continue to depend on imports for more than half its food.

“We have countries that are actively seeking food producing land, because their countries

are having difficulties producing under drought conditions,” Popham said.

“So before we know it, our farmland could be bought up by other countries that are actively and smartly trying to ensure their own food security.”

Neither Letnick nor the opposition MLAs could produce results from the government’s decision to split the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones, with more latitude for non-farm activities outside the southwest and Okanagan.

But we’re starting to see signs of the new system of regional Agricultural Land Commission panels working with local gov-

ernments.

The Langley Times reports that the Township of Langley quietly signed a deal with the ALC in July to allow development of farmland near the Aldergrove border crossing and Langley airport.

The agreement says there is a need for a “defensible and durable urban/ALR edge.”

If you think everyone loves farming, you’ve likely never lived on this “urban/ALR edge.”

The latest example is on Vancouver Island, where urban neighbours are protesting an established farmer’s decision to clear a forested property for hay

growing.

The farmer has been forced to erect a chain-link fence to keep out trespassers who have decided the property is a park that they can use when they like.

The mayors of Saanich and View Royal seem more concerned with appeasing urban complainers than protecting the right to farm.

They are being pressed to buy up idle ALR land to soothe urban voters repelled by logging and farming.

Soil and organic matter: measuring its microbiology When her honour, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, a rancher herself, was here to kick off the new Applied Sustainable Ranching program at our local Thompson Rivers University campus, she reminded us that 2015 is the UN year of the soil.

In doing so, she mentioned the billions and billions of living microorganisms that dwell in topsoil. These organisms take from the atmosphere 95 per cent of what plants need to grow: carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.

The rest comes from the mineral, organic and chemical components of soil. Unless you specify, soil samples from most labs don’t give you a biological assay of what is in your soil.

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

One would think given this is the “year of the soil” this might change. I don’t know if it has.

For the soil microbiology to do its magic, it needs to have air in the soil. These are called

aerobic processes. If the soil is compacted by machinery, animals, or chemical salts applied too generously (how much is too much?) then aerobic processes can’t work and anaerobic (without oxygen) processes take over.

As I understand, alcohol is one of the products created under these conditions. Roots stop growing down in the soil when they reach this compacted layer, because they don’t like alcohol.

Deep rooting creates and maintains deep topsoil and increases the availability of nutrients and minerals available at deeper horizons.

I have been doing some digging in my fields and have noted

earthworms as deep as three feet or more; this excites me because I know that roots looking for nutrient can follow the worm paths.

Perhaps the most encouraging measure of soil health happens when more and more litter — dead plant material — is left on the surface.

This provides insulation so the soil doesn’t freeze as easily and therefore the biological life can function for a much longer season and produce plant food.

This kind of soil warms earlier in the spring and therefore growth is earlier. Bare and compacted soil freezes faster and growth stops.

We know when organic mat-

ter in the soil gets used up the protein content of plants grown there is reduced.

This has happened in our “breadbasket” — the Prairies.

We know, though, that soil can be restored to original organic content in a few years by using the original plant communities (seeded often) to jumpstart restoration. Work on this has been done at the land Institute in Kansas.

David Zirnhelt is a member of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association and chair of the advisory committee for the Applied Sustainable Ranching program which is starting at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake this January.

Entertainment Culture Adventures with a Cariboo bush pilot

MUSICAL FUN

Val Hanet photo

Preston (Spencer Blois) and Maria (Gwenna Meyrick) performing in the closing number of Don’t Stop Believin’! The Maranatha Christian School musical finishes its run with a performance this evening at 7 p.m. and two performances tomorrow, at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Open Book.

In 1937, at six years of age, Clarence Moore saw his first aircraft.

After that first sighting of a barnstormer, Moore knew that he would grow up to be a pilot and did just that 22 years later.

Now in his 80s Moore continues to accumulate as many stories about his adventures as a bush pilot as he does hours in the air.

In his second book, Bush Pilot: 62 Years of Learning from Close Calls produced by Friesen Press, Moore again delights readers with his personal stories of commercial fly-

ing over the raw splendour of the Cariboo and Chilcotin areas, the mountain ranges, and along the coast of British Columbia.

“Today, airplanes have the stigma as targets of terrorism and victims of faulty parts, leading to a horrific final plunge or mid-air disaster,” Moore says.

“However, flying is still the safest mode of travel and has a storied past that lives in the oral storytelling of pilots.”

Moore will officially launch his latest collection of stories with a book signing at the Open Book on Thursday, Dec. 17 from 11

a.m. to 2 p.m.

In Bush Pilot, Moore seats the reader in the cockpits of the many machines he has piloted moving supplies and people to remote areas where few have been, nature reigns, but the grizzly bear is king.

From his first solo flight in 1953, Moore welcomes you aboard, sitting you in the pilot’s seat to share his adventures as a bush pilot, nightmares and victories alike.

His passion for flying has taken him over the many fiords, lakes, and mountain ranges that make up British Columbia, especially the Chilcotin, Cariboo,

Photo submitted

Coast areas he calls home.

His advice: “keep your butt attached and the aircraft in one piece, no need looking

for trouble, it will find you. Be ready!”

His first book, Chilcotin Cowboys in Airplanes was released in 2014.

The Salvation Army reports there are 266

applications for food assistance and gifts for children this Christmas.

Toys and gifts are being collected for 206 children under age 12 and 67 teenagers, ages 13 to 17. There may also be some late requests.

Salvation Army Capt. Isobel Lippers suggests board games;

lego; craft and drawing items; and gift cards for sports, movies, and pool passes; as well as video games are good gift ideas.

The most needed food items are proteins such as canned peanut

butter, salmon, tuna, chilli, canned fruit and vegetables;chunky soup; and canned meats,” Isobel says.

Recently I had to undergo an eye exam. We’ve all experienced this process of looking at a page of letters of various sizes, struggling to identify the letters in the row we are asked to read.

Sometimes we hesitate and refocus before we say what we see, sometimes we make one or two mistakes, and at other times we just can’t read the row of letters.

Then we are given a set of lenses to look through and try again till we can read the appropriate row without difficulty. During the process, we get asked, “Which is clearer – one or two?” and even as we answer, we know that the answer will determine the prescription we receive. And the prescription will in turn determine how we look at things with our new glasses – with total clarity or with a fuzziness.

That same night I received a post from one of my Facebook friends. It was a nice picture with the caption “Christmas is all about the children.” I have seen others, one of which stated “Christmas is about giving”, another “Christmas is about family.”

Nice sentiments, but are they seeing Christmas through a fuzzy lens, that of either commercialism or

# O WNER A PPROVED MICHELLE ALBAS, RAV4 OWNER

G E T Y O U R T OYO TA . C A

Fourteen-year-old Ralph Walker, as Saint Ralph, has a case of raging hormones that land him in all kinds of mischievous troubles.

He is an awkward yet straightforward boy, without a father and with a mother who falls into a coma while being treated for a serious illness.

As a nurse puts it rather succinctly, only a miracle can help her.

Ralph is intrigued by this idea. He asks a teacher, and soon to be running mentor, if you have to be a saint to perform a miracle.

Father Hibbard, often the iconoclast, answers that logic would say that it required only faith, purity and prayer. Desperate for a miracle that will prevent him from being an orphan, Ralph is told that winning the Boston Marathon would be just that.

The time in the film is the year 1954 when only 176 runners entered Boston, but even that was considered huge.

By taking on Boston, Ralph inadvertently makes all of those around him feel like they are a part of something big, something that does not happen every day, something truly important. And you, the audience, will be just as caught up.

Director/writer Mike McGowan won

the Detroit Free Press Marathon in 1995. He won a Mazda 626, sold it and used the money to fund his freelance writing career after graduating from the University of North Carolina. He later went on to write and direct films including a wonderful movie called Saint Ralph.

This is a film which will leave you warm and fuzzy, just right for the Christmas season.

And in the spirit of the Christmas season we ask you to please think of the Food Bank and bring something along, maybe even something special for Christmas.

After the film we will be serving our popular mulled apple cider and some Christmas baking. Maybe you will bring some of your baking along and share it with all of us.

Let us all get into the Christmas spirit and have fun together.

Remember, one more reason to celebrate is that the Williams Lake Film Club, once again donated $2,000 to the LDA, the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities, to make one-on-one tutoring available to them.

Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Regular admission is $9, for Film Club members $8, and $6 for seniors (65+ please) and High School and TRU students.

“There are common things that are deadly for you to eat and common things that are healthy for you to eat.

I also use vitamins and minerals for treatment,” he adds.

When it comes to treating pain, he says it’s mostly muscle related.

“A group of muscles is too tight, and need to be relaxed so they can do their job. Sometimes I use Reiki or healing touch to ease the pain

Nutrition is definitely a key component to health, Amaral says.

— your body tells me where the source of pain is located.

“I’ve had great success with herniated discs, whiplash and other kinds of back pain, as well as other body aches and pains. I work with people with knee or hip pain waiting for replacement surgery and have seen people become pain-free, on their feet and even off the replacement list,” Amaral says.

“One fellow hobbled in here who could barely walk. He said his doctor told him he would have to wait for a replacement and offered him a cortisone shot.

After one session here he walked out much better and after the next one he starting walking three to four kilometres a day. These treatments bring an incredibly improved quality of life.”

He adds that things like high blood pressure and digestive issues are all a matter of chemistry.

“If your potassium and magnesium are balanced in your body, you have no high blood pressure,” Amaral says.

“There are times when drugs are needed and can save lives, but we use more than are needed. We’ve created this problem ourselves: people want instant relief and an instant cure,” he adds.

“It’s like when your oil light in your car keeps coming on and bugging you, and you put masking tape over the light.

My answer is to check the oil pressure, check the gasket and find out what the real problem is.

Williams Lake Wrestling Club grappler Nikita Potekhina works over an opponent in the Grade 7 44 kilogram weight class at the Pin to Win Tournament in Prince George during the weekend.

Grapplers break ice at Pin to Win Greg Sabatino Staff Writer With a relatively new group of young grapplers on the mat this season, the Williams Lake Wrestling Club laced up its boots and headed north to Prince George for the icebreaker Pin to Win Tournament.

Nineteen wrestlers in both elementary and high school divisions participated in the tournament — many wrestling competitively for the first time — over two days Friday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 5.

WLWC head coach Sonia Conrod said the tournament is always a great event and the club enjoys attending it each year.

“All the kids did amazing,” Sonia said. “They fought hard and never gave up. They all pulled together as a team and supported each other on and off the mat.”

In the elementary division Grade 1 student Co-

Williams Lake Wrestling Club members Tyleen Scaiano (left) and Cierra Bellerose hit the mat at Prince George’s Pin to Win. lin Llewellyn battled with the big guys in the Grade 2/3 21-kilogram division and took fourth place.

Tanner Scaiano, in 23 kilograms, grappled to a gold medal.

Grade 3 Simon Llewellyn placed fourth in his 33-kilogram class, while Grade 4 Amaya Doucette, in the 28-kilogram division, also took fourth.

Battling it out in the

Grade 4/5 boys division Thomas Carter, 28 kilograms and Damien Doucette, wrestled to fourth-place and bronzemedal finishes in the division.

Kalub Scaiano, in the 30-kilogram Grade 4/5 weight class, brought home a gold.

In the Grade 6 division Jayden Carter, weighing in at 37 kilograms, wrestled

his way to a bronze medal, while Grade 7 boy Corbin Ash, 45 kilograms, captured another bronze for the WLWC. Nikita Potekhina, who Sonia said wrestled in a tough weight class at 44 kilograms, claimed fourth.

Ben Mcintyre, also in the 44 kilogram division, fought to a bronze.

Lastly, in the Grade 7 division, Lucus Jackson clawed to a silver medal in the 57-kilogram division.

On Saturday morning the WLWC’s high school grapplers hit the mat.

Wrestling up an age group, Potekhina oneupped his result on the previous day, winning a bronze medal, while Corbin Ash, also in Grade 7, won silver in the 45-kilogram weight class in the high school division.

In the Grade 8 division Niko Kirner took fourth (74 kgs), Zane Barr was fourth (72 kg) and rookie Grade 8 werstler, Cierra Bellerose in the 50 kilogram class, toughed it out

with some veteran wrestlers in her bracket to take sixth.

At 53 kilograms, Taryn Dick fought her way to a bronze medal, while Grade 8 Tyleen Scaiano, at 49 kgs, nabbed a silver medal.

Bradon Stump, in his first tournament ever, won gold in the 63-kilogram open division.

Veteran WLWC wrestlers Braden Conrod, meanwhile, wrestled up a weight class in the 65-kilogram division and picked up another gold medal for the black ‘n’ blue.

“This was a great first experience on the mat at a tournament for many of our wrestlers,” Sonia said.

“I am very proud of each and every one of them. They represented the WLWC with great pride and came home with a positive experience.”

The team is now on its way to Coquitlam for the always competitive War on the Floor Tournament from Dec. 10-11.

On Friday, Dec. 18, the Williams Lake Stampeders will be at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to take on the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

It will be a home game for Lac La Hache, hosted at the CMRC. The game will feature the Stamps’ annual Stamp out Hunger food drive where fans are asked to bring a nonperishable food item to donate.

Any fan who donates two or more items gets a ticket for a chance to participate in the intermission Turkey Toss. Additionally, the winning ticket for the team’s quad draw will take place in the third period.

“For many of these swimmers this was their first crack at a swimming competition.”

While the club’s younger swimmers competed in various events, the Blue Fins’ senior swimmers helped with mentoring the club’s future stars along the way, Webb said.

With possibly the largest contingent from Williams Lake ever, the Williams Lake Judo Club tossed its weight around at a tournament in Burnaby Dec. 5.

Eight fighters travelled to the Lower Mainland for the 2015 Canada West Invitational Judo Championships.

“It was great to see the commitment,” said WLJC Sensei Jeff DiMarco.

Brian Marshall won

two matches and lost one to finish with a silver medal in the novice men heavyweight division. Brian picked up wins over Langley’s Seung Park and White Rock’s Rene McLaren in the tournament.

In the under-16 boys, 60-kilogram division, Brody Pelchat-Henri marched through his tournament bracket to also toss his way to a silver medal.

Brody brought home a win over Abbotsford’s Alexandre Caron, before falling in the final to Jared Allred.

WLJC Sensei Jeff also won a silver medal in the senior men’s division after a win over Kensington’s Brian Jones and a loss to Port Coquitlam’s Matt Roots in the final.

Additionally, Tristan Pelchat-Henri, Georgia DiMarco and Anthony DiMarco all walked away from the tournament with bronze medals.

Sean Marshall, meanwhile, picked up three wins and two losses, giving him the most fights out of anyone from the club, DiMarco

said.

“He ended up losing out a close match for bronze,” Jeff said. “He was disappointed but he got the most workout, monies worth.”

Sean’s brother, Liam, had four matches but came up empty, Jeff said.

“He says he wants to train harder, so that bodes well for his future,” he said.

It was just Brody and Tristan’s second competition and DiMarco said they’re improving constantly and “getting the fire, too.”

Wolves finish third at home tourney The Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves had an up and down weekend but still managed to pull out a third place finish in their home tournament.

The team played Friday afternoon against Smithers in the opening game and came out flying jumping to an early 2-1 lead but then seemed to run out of gas while Smithers started to

take over the game.

Williams Lake couldn’t muster much in the way of offence after the first period and made several defensive gaffs that ended up in the back of their net.

The final score was 7-3 for Smithers.

Corey Loring, Braden Boyd and Jacob Benedet tallied for the Timberwolves.

In their second

game Williams Lake faced a very strong Terrace team and had a terrific showing dominating the game and winding up with a 4-1 victory.

Dylan Derose was in net for the win and played a very strong game.

Mitch Labossierre had two goals for Williams Lake and William Paynton and Loring also scored.

Dayton Long also had two assists for the Wolves.

In their third game Williams Lake faced Salmon Arm and skated to a solid 5-2 victory. The T-wolves scored early and played solidly defensively shutting down scoring opportunities to a minimum.

Adding a touch of provincial scope to the championship game, there were four Williams Lake Rustlers on the pitch — the Ilnicki brothers, Riley and Jake for the Castaway Wanderers and Nathan Stewart and Liam Chisholm for UVIC. UVIC would take the Barnard Cup, 24-5, when the dust settled.

The university side proved most resilient on the day scoring penalty kicks with the wind and tries when running a hole in the wild headwinds through the second half.

Paynton scored a pair for the Wolves while Cody Swan, Jimmy Belleau and Lane Wycotte added singles.

Logan Clarke also added a pair of assists for the Wolves.

The Wolves needed a big win in their fourth game to advance to the semifinals and they came through in spades pounding Kamloops

11-2.

Cody Swan (2G, 3A), Paynton (3G, 2A) both had five point games and Lane Wycotte (3G, 1A) had a four-point game with the other goals being scored by Owen Powers with two and Boyd with one.

The win advanced the T-wolves to the semifinal where they once again faced Smithers.

An injury-riddled

Timberwolves team fell behind 3-0 early in the first before closing the game to 3-2 late in the second.

In the third, undisciplined play led to several penalties which Smithers capitalized on with goals and eventually pulled away a 7-3 win. Boyd, Wycotte and Paynton scored for the Wolves in the loss.

CRIME PREVENTION TIPS Williams Lake RCMP needs the communities help to continue. In 2015, we have seen steady decline in the crime numbers quarter after quarter. Using the following ten tips will help ensure that we continue to see a reduction in crime here in Williams Lake.

TOP 10 TIPS • Report nuisance behavior within your neighborhood; • Get to know your neighbors and keep an eye on their home while away this Holiday season; • Do not share your vacation plans on social media, like Facebook or Instagram; • Park in well-lit areas and never leave your vehicle insecure and running • Avoid using your vehicle as a storage locker, lock your packages and gifts in your vehicle’s trunk instead of in plain site; • Everyone is in a generous mood at the holidays, be aware of scams and fake charity solicitations in email and on social media sites; • Be diligent and check out the charities at www. give.org before donating; • When shopping on-line, make sure that you use only legitimate websites, watch out for URLs that use the names of well-known brands along with extra words; • Collect your mail promptly after delivery.

Unattended mail is treasure for thieves; • Consider volunteering for one of the many organizations that are actively making a difference in our community.

Let’s work together to change the perception of Williams Lake. We challenge you to become engaged in your community and recognize when it’s time to report problems.

If you have any information or wish to report a crime please contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-3926211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
