Williams Lake RCMP officers secure a crime scene in the Glendale neighbourhood on a cold - 23C Saturday night where at about 5 p.m. two men were shot during an altercation out in the streets. One man suffered potentially life threatening injuries and required surgery while the other suffered minor injuries. Police are requesting help from the public in identifying suspects.

Suspects sought in Jan. 2 targeted shooting Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake is dealing with the first major crime of 2016 just two days into the new year.

Two men were taken to hospital Saturday evening suffering from gunshot wounds following a targeted shooting that took

place on city streets.

Glendale residents reported hearing what sounded like firecrackers going off before seeing vehicles flee the scene in the 3000 block of Mackenzie Avenue near Maple Street.

“The scene occurred outside — there was an altercation and two males were shot,” said In-

spector Milo MacDonald of the Williams Lake RCMP detachment Monday.

Police responded to the call of gunshots being fired at about 4:57 p.m. Jan. 2 and found the men, one possibly suffering life threatening injuries and the other with minor injuries.

Mayor searches for answers after shooting violence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mayor Walt Cobb is hoping the city’s latest shooting incident will emphasize the city’s need for outside help.

“When we were at UBCM in September we told the Attorney General’s office we need a three-person SWAT team or something here to basically deal with prolific offenders,” Cobb said.

Whether they are undercover or however it works, we have to get to the bottom of it and make it less lucrative for these guys.”

- Walt Cobb, Mayor of Williams Lake

Mayor Walt Cobb “Whether they are undercover or however it works, we

have to get to the bottom of it and make it less lucrative

for these guys.”

Some time in January staff from the

Ministry of Justice are scheduled to come back to the

lakecity for a followup meeting to the one that was held here at the end of November where it was determined that agencies, whether mental health, social services, Crown Counsel or RCMP need to work together to deal with prolific offender management.

Cobb said he also plans to meet with the RCMP this week to see what kind of pressures he can put

on the powers that be to help the community.

“I think it’s a power struggle with a few thugs trying to get a foothold so hopefully if we get some kind of assistance here so we can get to the bottom of it.”

Cobb said on a personal level he was disappointed and disgusted about the shootings.

“What a way to start out 2016.”

Lakecity faces series of unsolved crimes Continued From Page A1 On the site, his wife is asking everyone to send their positive thoughts and to “please stop the violence.”

M a c D o n a l d stopped short of calling this latest incident gang violence, however, he did acknowledge the growing number of crimes that appear to be retaliatory in nature.

“I think there is a pattern of violence (here) between persons who know one another,” MacDonald said.

In May of 2014 Corey Huu Le, also known as Corey Porter, was shot and killed outside his home on the corner of 11th Avenue and 12th Avenue.

His murder remains unsolved.

In June of 2015 one person was shot and sustained critical injuries in a car chase and shooting that took place along Western Avenue. No one has

On Jan. 2 of 2015 the body of Jesse (Delmer) Frank, 22, was discovered on the ice below the Rudy Johnson Bridge. No one has been charged in the murder of

Frank. A one-year anniversary memorial service was scheduled to take place this week.

MacDonald said he believes the key to reducing these types of violent crimes is through the prolific offender program, which

targets repeat offenders with extra policing and resources.

By identifying the small number of offenders in the community who are capable of such violent acts, MacDonald said officers can focus their

efforts on tracking and investigating those individuals when they are out in the community.

“We are going to do everything we can to bring the perpetrator of this violent crime to justice and continue to

focus on investigating our prolific offenders.”

MacDonald is also urging the public to come forward with any information they may have on this incident, including businesses in the area equipped with surveillance cameras

that point onto the street in the 3000 block of Mackenzie Avenue.

Property owners can expect to receive their assessments in the mail during the next few days, said deputy assessor David Keough.

“On average in Williams Lake there will be little change,” Keough said, refer-

ring to a chart showing a zero per cent change for the lakecity’s property assessments.

“There may be some properties in Williams Lake that will see a decrease or an increase within that but the average is showing no change.”

If people haven’t received their assess-

ments yet they can go to www.bcassessment.ca and click on the e-valueBC link to look at assessments and compare them to assessments of neighbouring properties or properties that have recently sold.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Operation Red Nose had another successful year in Williams Lake, said community safety co-ordinator Dave Dickson.

“We had 198 volunteers give 342 rides and travel a total of 6,281 kilometres,” Dickson said. “We took a total of 711 people safely to their homes.”

The furthest destination for a ride was Felker Lake, he added.

While the total amount of donations has yet to be finalized, Dickson said he anticipates it will “likely run over $10,000.”

This year’s campaign kicked off on Nov. 27 and went every weekend

up until New Year’s Eve. All proceeds from the campaign will go to Cariboo Chilcotin Gymnastics, Williams Lake Skating Club, Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society and Blue Fins.

An attempted break and enter was thwarted by staff at the Oliver Street Bar and Grill Christmas Eve. Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the pub was closed for the night and a staff member was inside cleaning up when two males smashed a window and attempted to gain entry by crawling through it.

Byron said the em-

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the detachment or CrimeStoppers.

Overall Byron said Christmas was quiet, however, they did attend a number of domestic incidents as well as serious highway accidents.

New Year’s baby for lakecity Williams Lake’s New Year’s baby was born on Sunday, Jan. 3 at 9:25 a.m. at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

He is number six for his 31-year-old mother Tanya Williams.

“He has two sisters and three brothers,” Williams said Monday afternoon at the hospital, adding she

doesn’t have a name chosen for her new baby yet because she likes to give her children unique names.

“His siblings are going to be so excited to tell their classmates at school that their new baby brother is the New Year’s baby,” she smiled.

Williams said she arrived at the hospital at midnight and delivered him the following morning.

He weighed nine pounds and measured 52 centimetres in length.

“He’s very healthy and loves when I hold him in this position,” she said as she settled comfortably in a chair with him sitting upright in her arms.

Instantly her baby raised his little fisted hands and opened his eyes as if to say he was ready for the world.

High hopes for new year

Butt out in 2016

ON TARGET

T

e’re having an old fashioned winter at the moment. Will we have an old fashioned spring, summer and fall too?

I wouldn’t count on it, but one thing for certain there will be a new President for the U.S. come fall. Former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said: ”Living next to the USA is like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

If Donald Trump becomes president we can expect some hefty twitches and grunts.

Another sure thing. Our cost of living will go up. The price of imported fruits and veggies (80 per cent overall) will soar because of the French low loonie and Connection we’ll pay more for Diana French hydro, ICBC and medical service premiums.

We all have hopes for the new year. Here are some of mine.

On the local scene: • That the city and regional district politicians forget their turf wars and try to be good neighbours for the benefit of all their constituents. Maybe it’s time for another try some kind of amalgamation between the two. It must be at least 20 years since the last one.

On the provincial scene: • I hope the Clark government will take some time off wooing LNG companies to take care of stuff at home, like telling the public why e-mails recording government business were erased, and giving us the lowdown on who was responsible for the wrongful dismissal of those eight Health Ministry staff. Premier Clark might also scare up adequate funds so the Ministry of Children and Family Development can function properly.

As for Child Advocate Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, will she be punished for doing her job and doing it well?

On the federal scene: • Our new prime minister will have his hands full keeping his promises, but he must have a second look at the noxious Bill C51, and a really, really hard look at the TransPacific Partnership. Then there is the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Busy times.

The annual New Year’s Turkey Shoot was another great success Friday as more than 36 shooters from Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House competed for meat prizes in the friendly competition held at the gun range on Bond Lake Road. The event was hosted by the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association.

Our Viewpoint

New year brings new fees New Year’s Day of course heralds a fresh step forward.

But increasingly, Jan. 1 has also come to mark the day when yet more rate hikes take effect.

Like the march of time, ever forward, tax and fee increases never seem to relax on New Year’s Day but continue ever forward, ever higher, ever widening the gap between what we earn and what they take from us.

On Jan. 1, 2016 Medical Service Premiums rose from $3 per month for a single person earning more than $30,000 per year — hardly a living wage. A family of two, in that same category, will pay $5.50 more per month and a family of three or more, again earning more than $30,000 per year, will pay $6 more each month.

That’s $36, $66 and $72 more per year, respectively.

A few bucks might not seem like a lot, but a few bucks here and there, there and

here, certainly does add up.

This year, expect to pay more in ICBC basic rates, hydro, rent, cable, telephone and internet services and other stuff as every level of government, Crown corporation and business that can get away with charging you more, will charge you more.

And while our dollar plummets, and groceries are increasingly expensive, the gouging continues.

Jan. 1 was a brave new day. When the clock struck midnight, many of us made New Year’s resolutions.

None, we’re sure, will resolve to voluntarily pay more in taxes and fees.

If only government and Crown corporations would resolve to manage taxpayers’ hard-earned and increasingly scarce money competently, it would indeed be a happy new year.

he first days of the new year are upon us and perhaps you are one of the many who have been thinking about becoming tobacco free in 2016. What an amazing gift to give to yourself, your family and friends!

Approximately 550,000 British Columbians smoke and more than 70 per cent of those people say they wish they could quit. Many British Columbians are planning to quit smoking this year so you are not alone.

Making a plan to quit can increase your chances of success.

Make sure your plan includes a quit date to help you get started on your tobacco free journey and be sure to tell the supportive people in your life when that day is.

If you have tried to quit before, think about what worked, what did not work and how you might use that information to make your next quit attempt your last one.

Past attempts are real learning opportunities so stay positive and plan one step at a time.

Support and resources are available and can bolster your success.

QuitNow offers free personalized support to British Columbians 24 hours a day. They can provide the tools and support to help increase your chances of quitting. They can be reached online at https://www.quitnow.ca/ or by calling 1-877-455-2233 or by texting QUITNOW to 654321.

The B.C. Smoking Cessation Program offers British Columbians access to nicotine replacement therapy in the form of patches or gum to help reduce withdrawal symptoms. Joining the program is easy simply visit any community pharmacy in the province and ask to join B.C Smoking Cessation Program.

Don’t forget your health care provider can also be a great support so be sure to tell them your plans to become smoke free and ask how they can support you.

In addition to many health benefits, quitting can save a person $3,500 in the first year if they have smoked a pack a day. Remember to be kind to yourself and reward yourself for being tobacco free.

Proud of Gibraltar Mine workers Editor: Living among you are the nearly 700 men and women who work at the Gibraltar Mine.

Let me tell you something about them.

For more than two years now they have worked around the clock, 365 days a year, and not one of them has lost any time at work due to an on-the-job injury.

Rarely, over my 35-year career in mining have I heard of such a lengthy period of safety success at a large mining operation in Canada.

Their accomplishment is a

tribute to their adherence to safe work practices and to the high regard they have for each other.

The Gibraltar Mine is one of the lowest grade copper mines in the world, which means it has one of the most difficult ore bodies to mine at a profit.

For five years world copper prices have been steadily declining to the point where every day now is a financial challenge.

Yet the men and women working at Gibraltar, particularly during this past two-year period, have set new production records while at the same

time lowering costs and maintaining the financial viability of the operation.

And they have done so without cutting any corners, without any compromise to their safety or the safety of others.

It is my pleasure to pay tribute to these exceptional people and to let all Cariboo residents know of the special talent and dedication of their fellow citizens who work at Gibraltar.

You should be proud of them, I am.

Upon arrival I mentioned who I was and was told we have been expecting you.

The male nurse registered me and sent my husband off to complete forms.

From the start of my journey in the ER late in the afternoon to surgery early the next day (rushed in) and then to ICU, I was treated with the utmost compassion and care from each and every member of the staff I met.

The team in each department went above and beyond what we’re used to from hospital staff, and I have been in many over the years.

My husband stayed with me during my stay in the ICU and he was treated the same way as I was.

If I ever have to be in a hospital again I will go to Cariboo Memorial Hospital if possible.

My husband and I would like to give a very grateful thank you to each and every one of the staff who helped me through my entire stay.

Apologies for stealing City’s snow removal policy needs change after plows leave mess behind from local business Editor: Editor: On Dec. 31 the city cleared, or should I say made a mess, of clearing 11th Avenue.

In moving the snow from the sidewalk to the other side of the road they left up to 18 inches of snow on the sidewalk for the full length of 11th Avenue from the junction of 12th Avenue to Pigeon Avenue.

After contacting the city and having a supervisor come to inspect

Letters aLways weLcome

the situation the city sent out their sidewalk plow to clear the sidewalk.

All the snow that was on the sidewalk is now back on the street, looking like there had just been a major snowfall.

The city deserves the Grinch of 2015 award for their snow removal and city walk clearing policies.

We were told that the staff has been advised to stay one foot away from the curb to prevent damage to the curbs.

In doing so they are depositing

snow on the sidewalks.

The city politicians need to quickly reassess their plowing policies and revert to methods used in the past.

We also learned when staff advised the manager that the new plowing policy would put snow on the sidewalks they were advised that would be the landowners’ problem.

Roy Slavens Williams Lake

I was caught shoplifting at Canadian Tire in Williams Lake last September.

Since then I have found out that the owners actually own or have a mortgage on the store and all its contents.

The kids that work there make approximately $10.25 an hour and at the end of the year they get a bonus from the profit of sales.

Every time that the store

loses money from shoplifting, the bonus becomes less and sometimes there won’t be a bonus.

The kids who work there don’t deserve that, as most of them are still in school.

I would like to apologize to the staff and to the managers of Canadian Tire.

Entertainment Culture

Film club hosts Cariboo Chilcotin Film Fest Friday claim in Canada and the U.S. Portage the Legend was filmed on and around Quesnel Lake.

This 22-minute film was written and directed by Colin Labelle and Wesley Gregg of Quesnel.

Colin lives in Williams Lake, is very involved in the canoeing scene, and he will be present to introduce their film.

My Legacy (festival version) was written and directed by Helen Haig-Brown.

This 60-minute film will be the first time that the festival version will be shown in Williams Lake.

Helen also won an ImagineNATIVE Film Festival Award for her film. This will be the first time that

Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor The Cariboo Chilcotin Film Fest will open the second part of the Williams Lake Film Club season this Friday, Jan. 8.

Four local films will be screened at the Gibraltar Room starting at 7 p.m. All four films were written and directed by local filmmakers.

We have incredible talent in our area and we are very proud to be able to show some of their work.

The film club events are normally on Tuesdays but for this time only we will screen the films on a Friday so that as many people as possible from out of town will be able to attend the event.

Elias Stump (left) plays William and Trinity Stump (right) plays Shayl in a scene from Clouds of Autumn by Trevor Mack.

After greetings from Mayor Walt Cobb and Yunesit’in Chief Russell Myers-Ross we will begin the screening with a short film written, directed, and acted

by Oliver Berger and Morgan Day of Williams Lake.

Mt. Timothy (12 minutes) is part of

their project, Shred the Nar, to showcase lesser known B.C. and Alberta ski resorts.

They do their work for their love of skiing and snow boarding, and not for profit.

Clouds of Autumn, (15 minutes) was filmed at the Tl’etinqox-t’in (Anaham) Reserve.

This is the ImagineNATIVE Award-winning new short film by Trevor Mack and he will be present to introduce his film.

This is the much awaited first showing of Trevor’s new film in Williams Lake.

His films have been shown to much ac-

two Tsilhqot’in films, Clouds of Autumn and My Legacy, both winning ImagineNATIVE Film Festival Awards, will be screened the same evening in a Canadian city.

Helen’s films have also been shown at the Berlin International Film Festival, at Sundance, and recently she had been invited by the Smithsonian Institute in New Mexico.

Maria Myers, Helen Haig-Brown’s mother and a major actor in her film, will be present to introduce My Legacy.

Refreshments will be served following the screening. At that time you will be able to talk to the filmmakers, ask your questions, and maybe even take a

photo of them or have one taken with them.

Like all evenings from the Williams Lake Film Club, this is another fundraiser.

Our funds are used to support the Williams Lake Chapter of the LDA, the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities for one-on-one tutoring.

Spinners and weavers a close-knit group Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The advantage of belonging to a craft guild is that you don’t have to put out a lot of money to get started in learning a skill and you have the support and friendship of its members.

The Williams Lake Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists Guild is just such a welcoming group in the lakecity.

The guild, which today has about 16 active members, maintains a studio in the Central Cariboo Arts Centre next to city hall.

Their collective resources include several large and small looms, spinning wheels and other equipment needed to prepare wool and other fibres for spinning and weaving.

The members hold workshops with local and visiting experts, and share their skills with each other.

Some of the artistic fibre art skills that the public doesn’t often see were on display during the guild’s Christmas Exhibition and Sale, held at the arts centre in December.

“Some of the pieces we make take so many hours to create that people would not be willing to pay the price they are worth,” says Linda Purjue, one of the members who exhibited some of the creations she makes for family and friends.

One of the pieces is a coverlet woven in a pale green, overshot pattern on a four-shaft, 100-inch loom that takes two people to operate.

Before starting her own project Purjue helped Dot Unrau weave a coverlet on the large loom, then Unrau helped Purjue warp the big loom for her coverlet project.

“Lesley Johnson helped me with the weaving,” Purjue says.

In weaving, the warp is the lengthwise or longitudinal threads on a loom, through which the cross threads, or weft, are woven to create the fabric.

Purjue and her helpers started the project last January, working on and off during the spring and summer, finishing it in about September.

Purjue is now in the process of making a knitted lace border for her coverlet which she estimates will involve 100 hours of work.

Purjue also had two examples of needle-felting in the show, both designs of her own creation.

Creating felt fabric or wall hangings usually involves water and heat to shrink raw wool fibres together, but in needle-felting, the wool is worked in a dry state using a barbed needle to “paint” the wool onto a backing, or to sculpt with it.

Linda Purjue with her examples of framed and sculptural needle felting and the knitted lace she is working on to put around the edges of the coverlet which was made on a large loom that takes two people to operate.

Linda Purjue points to the jacket she created using music patterns from a song she wrote to set the loom.

Dot Unrau holds up a blanket created by painting different dye colours on the warp threads before starting to weave with the same colour of weft threads to produce a soft variegated effect.

“It is absolutely amazing the detail you can do with needlefelting,” Purjue says. “There are incredible examples of needlefelting that go back 200 years or more.”

One of her needle-felted pieces on exhibition was a picture of a Mother Earth figure with four children behind her. Purjue dyed the wool for the piece in the colours of yellow, black, white and red to represent the four races of the world, and brown to represent the oneness of humanity.

“It’s commenting on the actual unity of the human race,” Linda says. “We all belong together.”

Another interesting piece of felting was a doll she calls Chantelle, because it is holding a Christmas carol book and appears to be singing, which she made as a Christmas tree topper.

Purjue had two other interesting woven pieces in the show which she termed “musical weav-

ing.”

For these pieces, she began by writing a song about weaving, which she titled simply The Weaving Song. For a black and white scarf, she translated the musical score of the song into an eight-shaft weaving pattern by assigning a note to each of the shafts. For the second item, a multi-coloured jacket, she assigned a different colour to each note, then wove the same order of colours in a plain weave.

“It turned out to be a rather complex and colourful tartan,” Purjue says.

Unrau also had several pieces in the show which demonstrated some of the complexities that can be achieved in weaving fabric to make blankets and clothing.

For one blanket that fades from one colour to the other, she measured and set out the warp threads on a special holder where she could paint on dye of differ-

ent colours along the length of them before warping the loom.

She also had several garments on display which she made from fabric which she wove.

She explained that one brown jacket, and one purple jacket, both with black undertones were woven on the same black warp, but look completely different because the weft threads were woven in different patterns and colours.

The Williams Lake Spinners, Weavers, and Fibre Artists Guild gathers together in the guild room at the Arts Centre twice weekly (Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to about noon). They are open to new members and are happy to teach newcomers their ancient crafts.

Throughout the year, the guild hosts a Spin In on the first Saturday of May, and frequently has workshops in spinning or weaving skills that are open to the public.

They often do demonstrations of spinning and weaving at such venues as Canada Day in Boitanio Park, and the Williams Lake Harvest Fair.

The public is invited to the Gecko Tree restaurant this Friday, Jan. 8 for the opening of an art show by members of the Cariboo Art Society.

Artists will be in attendance for the opening and will talk about their work and answer questions during the opening which takes place from 4 to 6 p.m. The show, titled Deep Midwinter, will run at the restaurant until Jan. 30.

“Refreshments will be served and all are welcome,” says artist Cat Prevette.

The annual Williams Lake Field Naturalists Christmas bird count was held on Dec. 20, 2015 under variable weather conditions.

The 30 participants in the field as well as over a dozen feeder watchers ended the day with a total species list of 59 with two birds seen during the count week; a Harris’s Sparrow which showed up at a Borland Road feeder the next day, and an American Threetoed Woodpecker reported from Hodgson Road the day before.

This was the second best count in our 48year history with the highest count of 62 species happening in 2008 under more favourable conditions when several ducks, grebes and even a loon were counted on the mostly open Williams Lake.

A snow squall which came across the area in the morning made bird counting close to impossible for a short time.

After it cleared the remainder of the day was fairly pleasant but gave no indication we would end up with a record total count of 5,251 birds.

Keeping in mind that

This pair of Pine Grosbeak were captured by the camera feeding at Scout Island on count day December 20, 2015. one third of this number consisted of Bohemian Waxwings, this was still an impressive total.

Impressive was also the word used by several parties to describe the spectacle of a swirling flock of well over 1,000 waxwings which appeared over town shortly after the snow cleared and which split and joined as they crisscrossed the city.

The final total was estimated at a conservative 1,751 birds.

The previous high total for the count was 4,908 in 2006, another good waxwing year.

The average for the last 10 years stands at 4,153.

Despite the high numbers there were no new species for the count and less than usual high species

counts.

Not even the waxwings were a count high.

Making the list this year were 18 Eurasian Collared-Doves which were not recorded on the count until 2011 and had a previous high of 6. Spotted Towhee (5), White-throated Sparrow (4) and American Goldfinch (102) all exceeded their previous highs by one.

The only truly unexpected bird was a Yellow-headed Blackbird on South Mackenzie which had only previously appeared on the count in 1969.

Three species of owl is always good to find in daylight and we had a good selection of raptors.

Quilt a winner for Hough Memorial Cancer Society The Hough Memorial Cancer Society has raised $1,735.55 during the past few months thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Cariboo Piecemakers Quilt Club.

The quilt club donated a beautiful quilt to the cancer society for a fundraiser which took place between Oct. 15 and

Dec. 15, 2015.

Each of the quilt club members contributed a square for the quilt which was assembled by Elaine Watt and Diane Mousseau.

After the quilt won first place in the Williams Lake Harvest Fair last fall the quilt club donated it to the Hough Memorial Cancer Society for a

fundraiser.

Rather than running a traditional raffle for the quilt the Hough Memorial Cancer Society members and volunteers manned donation tables that were set up twice a week at various businesses and community events around the community between Oct. 15 and Dec. 15.

People making donations had their names put in a draw for the quilt that was won by Kimberly Hamilton of Burnaby.

“We were all very pleased that the quilt club chose us for the donation and we are very pleased with the support we received from the community,” says Hough Memo-

rial Cancer Society member Mary Telfer.

“People donated what they felt they could.”

Money raised by fundraising and direct donations to the Hough Memorial Cancer Society are used to purchase equipment for Cariboo Memorial Hospital used for the early detection of cancer.

Recently the society was able to purchase a new microscope valued at $8,000 for the hospital’s lab and

a new laparoscope for the operating room valued at $5,000.

Since 1972 the Hough Memorial Cancer Society has raised nearly $3 million for cancer detection equipment used at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

People who would like to contribute to the fund are asked to contact society president Bob McIntosh at 250-305-1041.

All money raised stays with Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

Exploring Atlantic Power’s bid to burn rail ties Monitoring for pollutants in airshed will increase if company gets approval Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Monitoring for pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) will be necessary for several years if Atlantic Power gets permission to burn more rail ties in its biomassfired generating plant in Williams Lake.

“Currently there is no SO2 monitoring in the airshed because we don’t monitor SO2 in an airshed unless we have sources,” said Ralph Adams, air quality meteorologist with the Ministry of Environment, noting sources of SO2 normally are oil refineries, pulp mills or smelters.

While sulphur isn’t in the creosote itself, the oil used to carry creosote into the rail ties is based on diesel, which does have some sulphur in it, Adams said.

Presently Atlantic Power has permission to burn five per cent rail ties in its fuel mass, but has chosen not to burn any since 2010.

Atlantic Power plant manager Mark Blezard stands next to the boiler inside the Williams Lake power plant. The boiler burns consistently at a high temperature ranging between 1,371C to 1,648C.

A view from the rooftop of the power plant shows where biomass fuel is stored on site, before being brought by conveyor belt into the power plant at Atlantic Power’s facility in Williams Lake.

Five years later the company is requesting to burn more rail ties because it anticipates a decrease in availability of biomass due to the annual allowable cut for the Williams Lake timber supply area being reduced from 5.7 million cubic metres to three million cubic metres.

During a recent tour of Atlantic Power’s plant in Williams Lake, manager Mark Blezard said if the permit amendment is

stored and kept separate from the other biomass.

Mixing of the rail ties and the biomass fuel will only happen once the fuel is entering the plant where the nine-storey boiler is housed.

The company is considering a manufactured slow speed shredder built in Oregon because it creates less dust and particulate, and can work with metal, said Terry Shannon, Atlantic

approved, the plan is to burn 800,000 rail ties annually.

“We would be using 75 per cent regular biomass fuel and 25 per cent rail ties,” Blezard said.

For storage of the ties before they are shredded, two scenarios for the same location are being considered by the company.

One option is to dig out an area, insert ballast rock to support the ties, add a layer of biomass fuel and then

stack the ties on top.

The second option would see covered storage of the ties in two or three smaller buildings where the ties would be stacked on asphalt.

“Right now we’ve done a model storing 300,000 ties in here at once if we had to, but that might be impractical,” Blezard said.

Once the ties are shredded, they will go by conveyor belt into a covered bin where a two-day supply will be

Power’s environmental manager of western operations.

Responding to public concerns about emissions from burning rail ties, the company has said repeatedly that during a 100-per cent rail tie burn test in 2001, results showed most pollutants were either destroyed at the boiler’s high temperatures of 1,371C to 1,648C or removed using the plant’s environmental controls.

When asked how the public can be assured the high boiler temperatures will be maintained, Shannon said the system does not operate properly unless those high temperatures are sustained at all times.

So far 50 people or groups have submitted comments about the permit amendment.

Each comment will be addressed and compiled in a report, Shannon said.

Haphazard History: The Live Yank's Hotel Barry Sale Smart 55

Many people in the Cariboo have heard of Yank’s Peak, the 6,200foot mountain to the north of Keithly Creek.

Some have even hiked, four wheeled, or biked over that area to Barkerville.

Late in 1860, by far the richest gold deposits of the Cariboo Gold Rush were discovered just a few miles further north at Antler Creek.

In 1861 and 1862, thousands of goldseekers travelled by way of Keithly Creek, Snowshoe Creek and up over the S n o w s h o ePlateau to Antler Creek and its tributaries.

Lying in the shadow of Yank’s Peak is Luce Creek, one of the small streams that feed into Snowshoe Creek.

Both the mountain and the creek are named after William “the Live Yank” Luce.

He was a native of Bangor, Maine, who arrived in the Cariboo in the early 1860s after having participated in the California gold rush.

Early in 1863 he staked a claim on Little Snowshoe Creek, where he prospected for signs of gold, did some placer mining and built a cabin beside the trail to Antler

Creek.

It was a fairly goodsized cabin, about 16 by 20 feet.

Many travellers and packers on their way north would stop by this cabin and ask if they could stay the night and the place soon became known as the Live Yank’s Hotel.

Gradually, add-ons and lean-tos were constructed until the whole structure grew to be about 20 by 40 feet in size.

Luce was not a dullard, and he soon realized the potential of his “hotel,” ensuring that he had stabling and feed for the horses, food and supplies for the travellers, and plenty of booze to drink.

The nickname “Live Yank” was given to Luce by a reporter from the Cariboo Sentinel, who more than once wrote about Luce’s progress in mining, as well as his hunting exploits.

On Aug. 9, 1866, he reported “The Live Yankee has every faith

William "the Live" Yank in his old quartz lead on Snowshoe and intends to resume work on it as soon as he makes a little money.”

Luce likely made that “little money” catering to the many travellers at his cabin in the shadow of his mountain.

However, Luce could best be described as a reluctant host.

He would far rather be out hunting or looking for gold than serving those who stopped at his place.

At first he charged the standard 50 cents for a place to bed down (on the floor) for the night, and 50 cents for dinner and breakfast.

Then, after he had received the money, he would inform the traveller that he was responsible for cooking his own meals (by all accounts

Luce was a terrible cook).

Later, he hired a Chinese helper to do the cooking and to look after the place.

Luce had some interesting hunting experiences. On one occasion, he was after Franklin grouse and was shooting into a flock of them when his shotgun exploded into seven pieces, leaving only the stock in his hands.

Amazingly, he was not injured, but five birds were killed.

He loved to hunt grizzly bears and had several skins to prove his ability.

Often in the evenings, beside the fireplace in the “hotel,” he would sit and spin many an exciting yarn about his bearhunting escapades.

Back in those early days, the men travelling to and from the goldfields would eat virtually anything.

Wild game and fish were the main source of protein but any kind of meat would do.

On one warm day in September of 1863, a pack train left Antler Creek heading south to Keithly Creek.

A short time into the trip the clouds blew in, the wind grew cold and the temperature dropped dramatically.

Over the Showshoe Plateau a blizzard came on with snow so thick and heavy that progress became impossible.

The packers, concerned about their very survival, shot the fearcrazed mules as they floundered around in the deep drifts.

They managed to descend from the plateau on makeshift snowshoes and they arrived at Luce’s cabin exhausted and half dead.

When the Live Yank heard about the amount

of edible meat left up on the plateau he solicited the help of several of his guests, and after many trips with hand sleighs, most of the meat from the 30 mule carcasses was saved to be used at the “hotel” or sold to other miners in the area.

One interesting sporting activity attributed to the Live Yank’s Hotel was louse racing.

Lice and bedbugs were the curse of most roadhouses, but the miners and goldseekers at Luce’s establishment would place lice or bedbugs, whichever were handiest, on plates and bet on which would be the first insect to cross from one side of the plate to the other.

Sometimes the plates would be heated up to speed up the race or to allow a greater number of races to be run in an evening.

Betting was often heavy, alcohol consumption was a major part of the night’s activities, much gold changed hands and the house made money all around.

By the late 1860s new gold fields in the Omineca and Cassiar regions of Northern B.C. drew most of the placer miners away from the Cariboo, but at Snowshoe Creek, Luce remained.

He was still staking claims and making a living well into the 1870s.

New routes to the goldfields were established and the packers and miners no longer used the Yank’s Peak trail, so the “hotel” received very few visitors.

In the late spring of 1881, William Luce died in his cabin.

Williams Lake resident Stuart Westie works his way to swimming 1,000 kilometres in 2015 last month at the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool.

Milestone reached by Westie Greg Sabatino Staff Writer

If the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool is open it's a safe bet Stuart Westie will be there at some point during the course of a day.

Last month the 68-year-old Williams Lake resident achieved a daunting goal he set at the beginning of 2015 to swim 1,000 kilometres — 40,000 lengths of the 25-metre pool — over the course of the year.

"I got this crazy idea 1,000 was a big number — a million metres," Westie said after completing the

milestone. "I actually started swimming three kilometres a day last August a year ago. I've done almost 17 months of this nonsense but I'm cutting back now.

I'm going to go back to two kilometres [a day]."

In total, Westie swam 1,037 km in 2015 spread over 351 days, only missing 14 days of the year — 12 of those accounting for pool maintenance closures.

Westie, a retired school teacher who has always been passionate about playing sports, said as he got older he started running out of reliable options to stay

It's anti-gravity. You're not hurting any of your joints or any of that sort of stuff. I've never injured myself swimming and it's a yearround sport."

During pool closures Westie continued his fitness regiment by travelling to Kelowna for his three kilometres a day while visiting family.

"I hope I can keep doing this until I'm 90 or 100," he said.

"I've never been trained in any swim lessons. I'm not any master swimmer. The way I see it the more inefficient I am the better workout I get."

"I started to do things like bike, swim, pole walk and boring stuff like that," he joked. "People think I like swimming because I swim all the time but it's really not the case."

Westie started regularly swimming laps in 1985, not long after the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool was constructed. He said he'd encourage anyone looking to stay fit to utilize the facility.

"Any swimming is good," he said. "There's a lot of people in there doing 10 lengths a day.

It's a good facility people should use, I figure.

Pat Cassidy Smart 55

Now that December and all its hype is behind us, we can look forward to the future.

It’s like opening the first page of a new book and in anticipation of the 12 months ahead.

We have a handsome and charismatic prime minister with a fairly new cabinet, promising goodies to the underdog.

Across the border we have Donald Trump with his Mexican and

Muslim phobia and if he is elected president we might have refugees from the U.S. let alone Syria.

In the Middle East they have been fighting since Biblical times and are still at each other’s throats.

If you are religiously inclined, I will say pray for peace on earth.

January is a time when most of us are thinking of going on a diet and exercise off all those big meals.

At the Seniors' Centre all the activities

are back to normal.

Gentle Fit exercise on Monday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., cribbage 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. There is Bridge on Tuesday afternoon, painting on Wednesday morning and poker Wednesday afternoon, etc.

There will be a potluck supper followed by card games and crib, Friday. Jan. 8.

Also the Senior

Choir practice is on Fridays from 1:30 to 3 p.m. And at 7 p.m. there is the evening cribbage.

meeting is coming up on Thursday, Jan. 14 at 1 p.m. This is the meeting when the annual events are planned. All members are invited to attend; your input would be

Chilly Polar Bear Swim rings in 2016 With temperatures dipping to almost -20C, participants in this year’s 16th annual New Year’s Day Polar Bear Swim actually warmed up after taking the icy plunge into Williams Lake.

Organized by the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club as a fundraiser for youth rugby in the community, roughly 45 swimmers braved the frigid weather at Scout Island.

Lake City secondary rugby coach and WLRRFC member Jason Ryll said this year’s swim — where participants were asked to collect pledges — raised roughly $3,500 for the club’s junior development program.

“This money helps out players by covering the costs of equipment, tours and tournaments,” Ryll said.

“A great start to 2016.”

Bantam T-wolves take bronze at KIBIHT The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves waded through 20 teams during the weekend to win a bronze medal in the Founders Division at the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament.

Grady Thomas scored twice and Tristan Takats and Lane Paddison added singles to propel Wil-

liams Lake to a 4-3 victory over Campbell River in the bronze-medal match.

Williams Lake trailed 3-0 up until 2:38 of the second period before rallying for four goals to notch the victory.

medal game.

In the tournament — featuring roughly 300 players — Pigeon (fourth), Thomas (eighth), Paddison (18th) and Jackson (26th) all cracked the top 30 in overall scoring.

MVPs for the Twolves included Jackson, Thomas, Brody Conroy, Pigeon, Ryan Balbirnie and Wyatt Jacobson.

At the signs, turn west off Highway 97 onto Bull Mountain Road.
