At the crematorium, representatives from the various departments lined up outside as the Lone Butte Fire Department members carried Warman’s coffin into the building before holding a private ceremony.

Warman was 55 at the time of his death. He leaves behind his wife Betty and sons Kyle, Tyler and Chad. There will be a celebration of life held for him in 100 Mile House in the spring.

WLIB partners with Atlantic Power Corp.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Indian Band has kicked off the new year by signing a community benefits agreement with Atlantic Power.

“We stand as guardians to our traditional territory and we want to work with anybody that comes here to do business,” said band councillor Rick Gilbert during a signing ceremony held Thursday morning at Sugar Cane Reserve. “The purpose of the agreement is to work cooperatively.”

Atlantic Power’s executive vice-president Joe Cofelice travelled from Boston, Mass. for the ceremony and described the agree-

ment as a very important document for the company.

“It illustrates how we want to work in this community,” Cofelice said. “Since we first engaged with the community, the staff has been very proactive in representing the view of the WLIB and promoting their values and we’ve very much appreciated that.”

The agreement will provide an economic component, but at the heart it is about stewardship, said WLIB economic development officer Kirk Dressler.

“This is the kind of relationship we like to build with industry and this has been a good, positive working relationship.”

Williams Lake Indian Band Councillor Rick Gilbert and Atlantic Power executive vice-president Joe Cofelice sign a community benefits agreement Thursday at Sugar Cane.

The economic benefit will support community programs, Dressler said, noting the amounts involved

are confidential.

The agreement is the second one Atlantic Power has signed with a First Nations com-

munity in Canada, said the company’s asset management director Brian Chatlosh.

Gilbert said there

are some people criticizing the band for working with the company because the company is exploring the possibility of burning rail ties in its Williams Lake plant.

“Is there something different about this project compared to the proposal in Kamloops that was stopped?”

Gilbert asked the company.

Responding, the company’s environmental manager Terry Shannon said the Kamloops facility used gasification technology whereas the plant in Williams Lake uses combustion.

Dressler said behind the scenes, leading up to signing the agreement, the band engaged in its own in-

dependent review of the modelling done by Atlantic Power on the burning of rail ties.

“We continue to engage and if there are concerns we have about the validity of the model or the actual practices then we will work to try and resolve those,” Dressler added. “That’s the core concept of the agreement.”

Cofelice said the company’s new CEO James J. Moore Jr. who joined the company in January 2015 is committed to engagement and servant leadership.

“The company under this CEO is committed to this kind of action because we understand in the long run it’s the best course for us,” he added.

Man arrested in connection with death of 100 Mile House woman Police have one man in custody following the death of a 37-year-old woman from 100 Mile House earlier this week.

The woman was discovered in her home in the 6000 block of Norman Road near Horse Lake Monday morning after po-

lice received a report from the woman’s employer requesting to check on her welfare after she did not show up for work.

Police aren’t saying how the woman died, however, they have said her death is suspicious.

On Wednesday,

members of the North District Major Crime unit and North District Emergency Response Team and Air Services were

able to locate and take into custody a 46-year-old 100 Mile House man at about 2:18 p.m. in connection with the death.

Police said more information may be provided at a later time should formal charges be laid against the suspect.

When measuring cholesterol levels, doctors often calculate a “risk ratio” when interpreting results of your cholesterol tests. This is simply a ratio of the total cholesterol (TC) to the HDL cholesterol (i.e. TC divided by HDL). Ratios of less than 3.5 are thought to put one at a lower risk for coronary heart disease.

People that are truly allergic to gluten have celiac’s disease. A component of gluten, called gliadin is what causes the main problem. Researchers in Alberta are working on a supplement which will bind with gluten in the stomach and prevent the symptoms of celiac disease.

The hope is that the product will be available in about three years after further testing is done.

With so many smartphone cameras in pockets or purses today, it is very easy to snap a picture of a medical condition like a rash or mole. Even a short movie can be taken then shown to your doctor, particularly if the problem comes and goes. It’s a good example how taking a “selfie” can be of benefit to your health.

If losing weight is on your list of resolutions for the new year, think of this: even a 5 to 10% loss in weight will result in health benefits. The secret to weight loss is to lose it slowly and steadily and to maintain the lifestyle you followed to lose it in the first place.

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The former Glendale Elementary School building is slated to become the new home of the School District 27 administration offices.

The reno is expected to cost just under $1 million, according to the district’s website.

Though costly, the amount is less than the price tag to renovate the current School Administration facility and will also the allow the board

250-398-STYL | 250-398-7895 | 250 Barnard Street

to employ its own maintenance staff for much of the reno.

The local studio theatre also stands to greatly benefit from the choice.

“One of the greatest benefits to the community is that this would allow … the Williams Lake Studio Theatre to remain in its current location,” said chair Tanya Guenther in announcing the December decision.

Guenther said the board is also hopeful that one or more of the district programs with tem-

porary homes may also be housed permanently in the repurposed Glendale facility.

“We anticipate that the plan will increase the amount of meeting space, as there is a current lack of space for meetings without disrupting school classrooms and gyms,” Guenther said.

The current school district administration office located on Second Avenue adjacent to Marie Sharpe Elementary School was built in 1951

The Williams Lake Studio Theatre is very pleased with School District 27’s

announcement that it will be repurposing the closed Glendale Elementary School, says club president Mary-Jo Hilyer.

“WLST has been

very fortunate to be located in the Glendale School building for the last 26 years,” Hilyer says.

“The school district has been a huge sup-

“The Ministry of Education’s Capital Asset Management System has identified that all systems including heating, ventilation, cooling, electrical, air circulation and water supply are now ‘beyond useful life,’” Guenther explained.

In its considerations, Guenther said the board explored options for

major renovations to the present building, purchasing a new facility, leasing a facility, or renovating a current facility already owned by the district.

In the end she said the board selected the most practical and cost effective option by supporting the motion to repurpose the former Glendale school facility.

It is anticipated that the refurbished Glendale facility will be ready for occupation by August 2017.

Politically overcorrect Former B.C. premier Ujjal Dosanjh is making the news this week with his recent blog titled, The silencing of the white men of the West.

In it, the former federal cabinet minister sounds the alarm that political correctness has taken over Canadian politics, pressuring our country’s white male politicians into silence on critical issues such as race, religion, culture and national identity.

Dosanjh believes white male politicians are censoring themselves for fear of political and social bashlash and that the situation endangers our country’s pursuit of true equality. We believe he may be on to something.

“What started as a legitimate change to bring about equality and transformation of how we viewed, treated and spoke about each other has now ossified into a rarely breached wall of silence; a silence reinforced by the onset of the West’s indifference to its own — good, bad or ugly but — distinct societies, their values and norms; call it white man’s burden or guilt ... this fear has

habituated many Western leaders in their frailty to speak the unvarnished truth about the need for the refugees and immigrants welcomed into these societies to fully integrate in them. It is not about changing one’s religion or bleaching one’s skin to make it paler. It is about learning the moral, ethical, social and political anchors that, in this case, Canada is rooted in.”

In a later interview, Dosanjh clarified his position by pointing out how German Chancellor Angela Merkel balanced an open refugee policy with overt calls that any newcomers “must respect our laws and traditions and must learn German.”

“I don’t hear too many politicians saying ‘When you come to this country, learn English, or French, or both’ … we have silenced people into not being able to express pride in the country,” he said.

Some of our letter writers have been sounding the alarm on this very issue. Perhaps it’s time for a healthy debate on issues without raising the race card.

Ways to combat local forestry job loss by 2020 discussed Most people may not realize that a significant reduction on the Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) in the Williams Lake TSA could come in less than five years.

If you read the fine print in the latest Chief Forester report there are some circumstances that could force a reduction before the estimated 10-year reduction period identified by the forest model.

Most, if not all, AAC rationales emphasize the final number is a determination and not just a calculation from a forest modeling exercise.

The “AAC Rational for Williams Lake TSA February 2015” is a good example.

Chief Forester Dave Peterson describes the base case harvest level of 3.4 million cubic metres per year being sustainable for 10 years before decreasing to a midterm level of 1.4 million cubic

He then describes the constraints associated with his determination. The AAC includes

a maximum of 1.5 million cubic metres per year for live trees, which also leaves half of the harvest for salvaging dead trees killed by the mountain pine beetle and other agents.

He goes on to say that non pine-leading stands contribute a maximum of .88 million cubic metres and the remaining live component will come from the live volume of beetle-killed pine leading stands.

He also describes more than 15 considerations which will impact the determination and he expects companies to meet the constraints.

Ministry of Forests and Range are charged with monitoring the harvesting so Peterson can decide if he will revisit his determination in five years, rather than 10.

My concern is that there is very little mention of options for road-

side logging material.

There is mention of low productivity sites being considered for bioenergy use in the future but following tradition the main focus is on logs for lumber production.

In my opinion the chief forester should have discretionary powers to require studies on the use of cull material for uses in the power and pellet plants rather than burning it in the field.

This is especially important for the residents of Williams Lake who are faced with the possibility of having future fibre come from creosoted railroad ties.

As stated in previous articles the forest models are capable of calculating a detailed profile of where and how much roadside material would be produced from the various AAC calculations and this information should be used in a study which compares the

socio-economic and environmental considerations of the various options.

I encourage all residents to contact your town council and CRD representatives and urge them to have qualified contractors look at some of these alternatives in the five to 10 year period before people are laid off because of the reduced AAC. In particular what is being done with the Cariboo Chilcoin Beetle Action Coalition funds that were supposed to be used for creating job opportunities to reduce the impact of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Passages of 2015: Stephen Harper I first met Stephen Harper when he was running for the Canadian Alliance leadership in 2002.

Speaking to a group of Fraser Valley members concerned that the party had split over the leadership of Stockwell Day, Harper didn’t mince words because a local reporter had showed up on a Saturday morning. He explained his prediction that no matter who leads the conservative movement started by Preston Manning, the national media would work against it.

“The press is owned by big-L liberals and staffed by small-L liberals,” Harper said. “Preston was too cerebral; Stock was not cerebral enough. I’m not sure where I will be, but the media will always be on the other side.”

Harper’s cold war with national media is a theme that runs through his decade as prime minister, peaking in 2015 with the most slanted election coverage I’ve ever witnessed.

The celebration continues over Justin Trudeau’s victory, with the supposedly non-partisan federal bureaucracy cheering along with much of the national media.

Harper’s assessment of major newspaper ownership is no longer accurate, except for the Toronto Star. But the dying tradition of owners looking up from their accounting ledgers to endorse a political party continued, with the Postmedia chain and the Globe and Mail pointing out that Trudeau’s rash promises didn’t add up.

Endorsements were a brief interruption in the media assault on Harper’s record. His government’s plan to welcome 10,000

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

refugees, unveiled way back in January 2015, was portrayed as heartless and feeble, while Trudeau’s 25,000 by Christmas represented the generous character of the true Canada.

As it turns out, the Liberals have been hard pressed to reach even the 10,000 mark.

But they’ve put out a rash new promise to make it 50,000 at some point in the future, so the media’s new-found message of sunshine, hope and change continues.

Those modest $10 billion annual deficits that Trudeau promised, and Harper warned against? Borrowing and spending will far exceed that, but we’re assured that’s because they were based on inflated Conservative financial forecasts.

In fact, independent private sector forecasts are now the key reference for government budgets at the federal and provincial level. None of them predicted the further slump in energy prices that continued through 2015.

And cooking the books before an election isn’t really possible any more, thanks to the establishment of the Parliamentary Budget Office. That was a

Harper innovation, along with scheduled elections.

And that Trudeau pledge to raise taxes on the wealthiest Canadians and use the proceeds to finance a tax cut for the middle class? That one didn’t add up either. For one thing, wealthy people have a variety of legal ways to reduce their taxable income.

Here’s an actual front-page headline from the Globe and Mail, reporting this unfortunate fact, well after the election: “The way Liberals gauged re-

sponse to new tax rate explains gap.” So it was just an understandable oversight, you see.

Trudeau’s star turn in Paris, where he pronounced that “Canada is back” in the battle to control the world’s weather?

The official submission from his bloated delegation to the UN climate meetings was actually the existing Conservative plan, which includes phasing out coal-fired electricity generation.

Harper generally represented a preference for the individual over the state, a concept that at

one time was known as “liberalism.” This was illustrated by his preference for parents rather than a nanny state to administer child care.

He advocated free trade, small government and low taxes. We’ll see how that legacy survives the new government and its media cheering section.

UNDER WINTER’S GRASP

Angie Mindus photo

Multiple snowfalls throughout the week have created less-than-optimal road conditions for drivers in Williams Lake. With no snow forecast for today and Saturday, temperatures are expected to remain steady at highs of around -10C.

Take time to enjoy the food we prepare We are a rushed and distracted society that seems to be so busy we do not seem to take time to eat a nice meal and really enjoy the food.

I have watched people in restaurants dive into their food like it was a death row last meal.

They take a giant bite of a burger, chew that monstrous mound in their mouth about three times, then swallow.

How does ones’ digestive system handle baseball-sized food balls?

I suspect with some difficulty.

A plus for eating bite-sized

Ken’s Country Kitchen

with Ken Wilson

pieces slowly is you get to really taste the food and some of the

nice ingredients that went into creating the dish.

There is so much good taste in many of the foods we can grow locally or purchase at food stores around town, it’s a shame to gobble them down quickly.

If we take time to chew each bite of food about 20 times or more we will certainly send more pleasure to our tastebuds.

Eating more slowly helps us feel more satisfied, which is different than just being full.

When we slow down in our eating it means more time to savour the meal and appreci-

ate each bite, so when we leave the table we will feel good, even if we only ate a bologna sandwich.

One of the most important benefits of eating slowly is that it gives our bodies time to recognize that we’re full.

Apparently it takes 20 minutes from the start of a meal for the brain to send out signals that we are satiated.

Heck, a lot of folks’ meals don’t last that long.

Apparently eating in a hurry causes weight gain in people, one of the reasons we are an

overweight society.

Also, on the topic of enjoying food, I know that cleaning our tongues before eating will allow those wonderful tastebuds to really enjoy the experience.

And, when we take time to eat, we can enjoy those eating with us.

You know, like good old family meals where everyone sat down at once to enjoy the meal.

In this new year, enjoy your food and cooking.

Hospital ring raffle win a thrill for engaged couple Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Jeremy Schmid is thrilled to have won the $6,500 designer ring donated by Woodland Jewellers for this year’s hospital ring raffle.

“It won’t even fit on my pinky finger, but we will absolutely keep it,” Jeremy says.

“You don’t win something like that very often.”

Jeremy and his fiancé, Sierra Williams, happily bought the $100-a-plate tickets to attend the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust’s Masquerade Ball in November and were there for the draw.

Sierra says she was visiting with a friend when they heard Jeremy’s name called and were so thrilled that they started jumping around screaming, and Jeremy immediately gave the ring to her.

“I love it,” Sierra says. “It is absolutely beautiful. I am wearing it to all of the special occasions I can think of.”

The one-of-a-kind ring features a .31 carat Canadian diamond surrounded by chocolate and white diamonds in an 18 karat yellow and 18 karat white palladium gold setting.

Sierra says she and Jeremy are not particularly lucky people.

“The most we’ve won before was $50 in a poker (horse) ride so this is really special.”

Jeremy is a millwright at West Fraser Plywood and Sierra is an X-ray technician at Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

They are both happy to support the annual fundraising galas held to raise funds to buy equipment for Cariboo Memorial Hospital.

This year’s Masquerade Ball raised approximately $60,000, of which $12,000 was raised by the Woodland Jewellers annual ring raffle.

“We think it is a really neat event and a wonderful evening out for a small town,” Jeremy says, adding that they also usually bid on some of the auction items at the galas.

In addition to being a worthy cause, Sierra

says: “It’s is a chance to get dressed up and go out.”

Ironically Jeremy is a good friend of Woodland Jeweller’s jeweller Geoff Bourdon and had been working secretly with Geoff this past year to design a special engagement ring for Sierra.

He had talked with Sierra in passing about what she might like in a ring if they ever decided to get engaged.

The first priority was that the diamond had to be in a low profile setting so that the ring wouldn’t scratch a patient or snag on their clothes.

Like the ring Geoff designed for the hospital raffle, Sierra’s engagement ring was also made in a stirrup shape so that it wouldn’t slip around on her finger.

Once the engagement ring was completed Jeremy hid it for a few months until he felt the time was right to present it to Sierra.

Cindy Watt at Woodland Jewellers says the staff knew about the engagement ring and kept looking at Sierra’s hand whenever she came into the store to see if Jeremy had popped the question yet.

“It is so hard to keep a secret when you know something like this is coming up,” Cindy says.

Jeremy says he and Sierra like to camp at Bluff Lake and hike to the top of Pioneer Trail so he thought that would be a special place to ask Sierra to marry him. He took the proverbial leap this summer at the top of that mountain.

“The reason I knew it was time is because it wasn’t a question in my mind anymore,” Jeremy says. “It was the next logical step.”

While she might have suspected Jeremy was planning to ask her to marry him she had no idea when or where it might happen.

“I was very surprised,” Sierra says. “It is such an overwhelming experience when someone is kneeling in front of you and pouring their heart out to you. It is very exciting.”

Their wedding is set for July 16, 2016.

Both rings are unique one-of-a-kind rings designed and made by Woodlands’ jewellery designer Geoff Bourdon.

This year funds raised by the hospital gala will go toward the purchase of a portable ultrasound machine for the hospital that will cost approximately $125,000 with all the bells and whistles, says Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust director Rick Nelson.

The Station House Gallery is inviting submissions from local artists to participate in its April show titled All Aboard.

“We are calling on artists to contribute pieces for All Aboard, inspired by the Station House Gallery and the community that keeps us going,” says gallery exibition co-ordinator Brandon Hoffman.

He says All Aboard

is a show dedicated to the people, culture, and landscape surrounding the Station House Gallery. Originally built in 1920, the Station House has been a focal point of Cariboo arts and culture since it was converted from a retired BCR train station in 1981.

“As charming as the building itself may be, the gallery is more than just a pretty

couraged to interpret the theme and take it in their own direction.

For more information on the proposal call artists can contact Hoffman at coordinator@stationhousegallery.com.

The opening reception for this exhibition will align with the gallery’s April fundraising gala, The Station House Express, featuring live music, wine and cheese, auc-

face,” Hoffman says.

“We pride ourselves in continually showcasing the best local and visiting artists, and constantly keeping our loyal membership on their toes.

“The staff, directors, and volunteers at the Station House Gallery are incredibly grateful for the community support we have received for the past 35 years.” He says artists are en-

tions and more.

Station House Gallery memberships now due Station House Gallery memberships are due in January, except for new members who purchased their memberships after June 30, 2015.

Memberships are $25 for an individual and $30 per family.

Members receive personal invitations to openings and special events at the gallery and are entitled to a monthly discount on items in the gallery or in the gallery gift shop.

People can also help out the community’s art gallery by returning their empty bottles at Amanda Enterprises designating the donation to the Station House Gallery.

To the Citizens of the Cariboo, 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 2 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 5 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 2-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.

He recognizes the economic and social importance of higher education to the community and region.

Over the last several years it has been a privilege for us to write about issues that challenge each of us within the day and age we live. We have endeavored to stay away from particular denominational and doctrinal positions and have chosen to simply reply according to our own experiences and on what the Bible says about a given topic. It has been our main directive to write in such a way so as to inspire you to want to know Jesus Christ as your personal friend and Savior.

At a Ministerial level we have been experiencing a decline in the amount of writers that can contribute to this worthy effort because of the many other demands on our time.

As you can imagine, coming up with new material to write on every couple of weeks is going to be a bit much for us considering all that

is on our plates, so, today, rather than dropping this column altogether, we want to introduce to you a new format for the Parson’s Pen that, we hope, will make it easier for as many as possible to continue writing and for you to be able to interact with us on a regular basis.

We want to introduce an editorial context to the Parson’s Pen that will provide you with a venue to ask some of those hard-to-ask questions you’ve had either in the forefront or the back of your mind but you didn’t know how to ask in person.

For instance, maybe you’ve been wanting to know why God allows bad things to happen to good people, or maybe you want to know whether drinking alcohol is right for you or why gambling is considered wrong.

Maybe you want to know what the Bible says about

having sex before or outside of marriage or what it says about homosexuality. You can send your questions to the email address below and ask whatever you want to ask and we will do our best to answer them in the column that arrives in your paper the following week.

You need to know that there will be a screening process taken because we want to reach as broad a spectrum of readers as possible and so we don’t want to include anything in this column that will not be appropriate for all readers, but that by no means, means we will shy away from the ‘hard’ questions, so ask away!

We look forward to your questions and helping you find the answer. By the way... if we don’t know the answer, we will either tell you so, or take the time to research it and get back to you.

Please send questions to: lori@wltribune.com The views expressed in this column are not necessarily the views of all the churches in the Pastor’s Fellowship.

Williams Lake’s Tamara William (front left) and Victoria Byer (front, second from left) helped the BC Hockey Female Midget AAA League’s Northern Capitals to a championship Jan. 1 at the Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary.

Northern Capitals win Mac’s championship Williams Lake’s Byer, William, help team in quest for cup Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It was a happy new year, indeed, for two Williams Lake hockey players.

Goaltender Tamara William and defenceman Victoria Byer helped the Prince George-based Northern Capitals to the championship at the internationally-renowned Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary Jan. 1 under the bright lights of the Scotiabank Saddledome, the home of the NHL’s Calgary Flames.

The Capitals, who went unbeaten in the tournament, knocked off the Rocky Mountain Raiders of Okotoks, Alta., 5-1 in the final.

The team also posted round robin wins against the Melville Prairie Fire (3-0), the Calgary Fire (1-0), the Kootenay Wild (3-2) and the Vancouver Island Seals (2-1), before shutting out the Fraser Valley Rush in the semifinal, 4-0.

William made 11 saves in the 2-1 win over the Vancouver Island Seals and turned aside 15 shots in the 3-2 win over the Kootenay Wild en route to the championship.

Byer, a third-year assistant captain with the club, did her job on the back end, helping hold the team’s opposition to just four goals throughout the entire tournament.

“It’s something to be so

proud of,” Byer said.

“We’ve worked our way to the top and we’ve shown we can beat everybody.”

Playing at the Saddledome was also an experience she’ll never forget, she said.

“It was the best experience. We got there early, sat on the bench and just kind of looked up into the stands and basked in the moment.”

The Capitals won the BC Hockey Female Midget AAA league title last year and are second this season with a 15-4-2 record, two points behind the Greater Vancouver Comets.

Byer said the team is coming together in ways she hasn’t seen in her

three-year tenure with the club.

“We all came together as a team really well,” she said. “It was nice to see how much we’ve improved and how much more confident we are. As an assistant captain it was nice to see.”

Meanwhile, the B.C. Major Midget League’s Cariboo Cougars — featuring Williams Lake’s Colton Thomas, Trey Thomas, Chase Dubois and Daine Dubois — fell just short of repeating as tournament champions.

Their tournament ended in the same way it started with a 5-2 loss to the Lloydminster Bobcats in the semifinal.

Following game one the Cougars defeated the

Yorkton Rawtec Maulers 4-2, the Foothills CFR Chemical Bisons 5-3, the Ontario Avalanche 5-1 and the SSAC Boston Pizza Athletics, 5-2 in the quarterfinal.

In the tournament Chase notched six goals and an assist, Daine posted four assists, Colton had an assist and Trey tallied two goals and four assists.

The Cougars next action is scheduled for Jan. 9-10 in Prince George against the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs.

So far through the regular season the Cougars have posted 17 wins, six losses and three ties and are tied for the top spot in the BCMMHL with the Valley West Hawks.

The Williams Lake Stampeders wrap up their regular season when they host the Quesnel Kangaroos Friday, Jan. 15 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Currently leading the Central Interior Hockey League standings, the Stampeders will be looking to finish the season on a high note. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Boardercross Challenge attracts riders from around B.C. Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The New Year’s Day Boardercross Challenge at Bull Mountain made its triumphant return after a several-year hiatus.

And for professional Landyachts longboarder and event organizer Bricin Lyons of Vancouver, the event is all about building community.

“Years back my mom, Cindy Lyons, was fighting cancer so I moved to Williams Lake to help her out,” Lyons said.

“Every Boxing Day

or New Year’s in those last few years I decided to hold a snowboard race up at Bull Mountain.”

Lyons had fond memories of sledding at the top of Bull Mountain, so the snowboard race became an homage to a sport he loves, longboarding, and a tribute to his childhood.

“I wanted to have a snowboard race on a road, not a ski mountain, to give it that longboard race feel,” he said.

“Longboarding races we race four- to eight-man heats so Bull Mountain was perfect

for this. This year I took a bunch of gear, I had prizes and I had custom medals made up.”

Snowboarders from Prince George, Quesnel, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and a vanload from Vancouver participated in the races.

“We gave out $320 this year and snowboard jackets, blankets, toques, gloves, six longboards, a snowboard, a snowskate and a few flats of Cariboo Brewing root beer and gingerale,” Lyons said.

Keith grew up in Applecross near Perth Australia. As a youth he was an avid swimmer and saved a couple of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Keith served in WWII with the Australian Infantry (he joined up underage). He worked around Canada and Europe before finally immigrating to Canada in 1957 with his wife Iris. They moved to Williams Lake around 1965 where Keith worked as a mixologist for the Lakeview Hotel until the early 80s. He then worked for the government liquor board until retirement. Keith enjoyed painting and both Iris and Keith enjoyed cross country skiing. He was predeceased by his lovely wife Iris in 2012. Keith loved his Toby Beer and was always surrounded by neighbors and friends. His favourite saying was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bonne SantĂŠâ&#x20AC;?- translation means good health. The family would like to thank the nurses and the staff at the Cariboo Hospital and amazing Homecare team for the care that Keith received.
