TRU faculty serves strike notice, agrees to mediation Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The two sides negotiating at Thompson Rivers University could be going to the mediation table as early as Friday.

On Monday Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) issued a 72-hour legal strike notice, which could potentially see members taking job action by Thursday, but by the end of the day had agreed to go to mediation.

One of the main issues for TRUFA is the desire to have more facul-

ty members involved with decision making and to ensure transparency, said TRUFA president Tom Friedman.

“Quite often decisions are made in the absence of proper consultation and collaboration,” he said.

TRU’s vice president of administration and finance Matt Milovich countered Friedman saying the university’s decision making is fairly typical of what happens at other universities.

“On almost all, if not all major decision making committees at TRU, the faculty cohort is well rep-

resented,” he said.

TRUFA also wants a commitment from the administration to hire full-time faculty to perform full-time, ongoing work, Friedman said. In Williams Lake programs like the Licensed Practical Nursing and the Health Care Assistant need fully tenured faculty, he added.

“People are on contract yet they are being given full responsibility to run a whole program out of a regional campus,” Friedman said.

Milovich said the university is waiting for enrolment stabilization in Williams Lake before hir-

ing more full-time faculty, noting the LPN program has been running every two years because there weren’t enough students to run it every year.

The university hopes the union will put off any job action until the mediation process works its way through, he said.

TRUFA represents approximately 650 instructors, librarians, counsellors, educational coordinators, and learning specialists. In November members on both campuses voted 80 per cent in favour of a strike mandate.

Modest drop in property sales for 2015 Williams Lake saw a modest drop in property sales in 2015, the Northern Real Estate Board said in its latest report.

In Williams Lake, 359 sales worth $76.3 million were reported through MLS in 2015, down from 369 sales worth $87 million the previous year.

Half of the 134 single family homes sold in 2015 sold for less than $224,000.

In total 33 parcels of vacant land, 82 homes on acreages, 17 town homes, 30

manufactured homes in parks and 28 manufactured homes on land were also sold in 2015.

At the end of December there were 286 properties of all types available through MLS in the Williams Lake area, down from 329 properties at the same time last year.

The story is a bit different in 100 Mile House where sales benefited from the “hot market in the Lower Mainland, with an influx of recreational property buyers driving the

Both the number of sales and the average sale prices were up in the district.

In the 100 Mile House area 384 properties worth $88.3 million sold this year through MLS, compared with 345 properties worth $71.6 million in 2014, while the Quesnel area saw 273 properties change hands in the area in 2015 through MLS, down from 281 that were sold in 2014.

Ervin Charleyboy elected new chief of Alexis Creek Indian Band Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Ervin Charleyboy is back in the saddle.

In an election held Friday at Redstone, the longtime political leader reclaimed his title as chief of Alexis Creek First Nation after a sixyear hiatus.

For 20 years, Charleyboy was chief of his community and also served 18 years as the Tsilqot’in National Government tribal chair.

More recently, Charleyboy became better known as an outspoken supporter of the controversial New Prosperity Mine, opposing the six other Tsilhqotpin chiefs he will now be working with.

After being elected chief, Charleyboy said Tuesday he didn’t want to talk about his posi-

scheduled to see that afternoon.

“I am looking for-

ward to working with the council on a longterm economic vision

for our community,” said Charleyboy. “I really want to stress education for our young people.”

TNG tribal chair Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse said Charleboy’s past support of the New Prosperity Mine is water under the bridge as far as he’s concerned.

“When he was out-

spoken on the issue I often said it was unfortunate that he’d taken the position, but he had family to feed and needed to work too,” Alphonse said.

Even if he doesn’t agree with Charleyboy on the mine, Alphonse said there are lots of things they do agree on.

“A lot of the hard work to win Aboriginal rights and title was done under Ervin’s leadership,” Alphonse added.

“He was chief for 20 years, how can he not have been part of that?”

Charleyboy, who is 71, said he decided to run again because some elders and people in the community asked him to.

“I said sure I’d give it another try, two more years and that’s it.”

His victory was narrow.

His nephew Clayton John Charleyboy received 51 votes and Otis Guichon Sr. obtained 42 votes.

Former Chief Percy Guichon, who chose not to run for chief after serving six years, was elected to band council along with Otis Sr. Guichon, Maryanne Boyd, Rocky Guichon, Clayton Charleyboy and Terry Char.

“I think we have a strong council with lots of continuity,” Guichon said. “We will continue to move forward to help our people and create employment, especially with Tsi Del Del Enterprises.”

He congratulated Charleyboy and thanked staff and council for an “amazing” experience as chief.

“I was sleeping when it happened,” Warttig recalled of the incident.

“I was thrown onto the window and ended up with my back and butt resting on the overhead compartment.”

While Warttig was being examined later by a first aid attendant at the mine, she said her speech became slurred so she was put on a C-spine board and medivaced from the mine to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

When X-rays didn’t reveal anything Warttig said she was told she could go home.

“I broke down,” Warttig said of that day. “I had no clothes, money or ID on me. My keys and everything were at the mine and my vehicle

confirmed WorkSafe BC claims director Jennifer Leyen.

“She went through a number of months of treatment and attended one of our specialized treatment programs for assessing head injuries,” Leyen said. “By the time she was discharged from the program, where she’d been under the daily supervision of physicians and psychologists, Wendy was deemed fit to return to work.”

Unfortunately by then the mine had shut down because of the tailings breach in August 2014 and Warttig had no job to return to.

At that point, Leyen said, WorkSafe BC gave Warttig four extra weeks of benefits and then her claim came to a conclusion on March 29, 2015.

Warttig has filed an appeal with the Worker’s Compensation Appeal Tribunal, and Leyen said the more medical evidence about the nature of her condition and how she would tie that back to her injury will help her with the appeal.

Meanwhile she is feeling desperate. Her EI will run out this month.

She finally got in to see her family doctor and a psychiatrist and said both are writing letters to the tribunal on her behalf to say her health problems stem from the accident.

New health centre on way for Alexandria

JANUARY SPECIAL

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer ?Esdilagh (Alexandria) First Nation is getting a new community and health centre, replacing the band office that was destroyed by a suspicious fire a year and a half ago.

“It’s been quite hard on the community without a permanent building,” said Chief Bernie Mack.

Recently the band and health offices have been housed in portable trailers donated by Taseko Mines Ltd. and the First Nations Health Authority.

And partial funding for the new building is also coming from the FNHA which Mack said the community is very thankful for.

“The FNHA is proud to support the ?Esdilagh First Nation after the devastating fire in 2014 destroyed the band’s only community building,” said Curt Walker, FNHA chief administrative officer.

“This new health facility is a good example of the collaboration that takes place with our partner communities to ensure health initiatives and programs are accessible to all First Nations and Aboriginal peoples living across the province.”

After its band office was burned down a year and a half ago, the Alexandria First Nation is receiving a new community and health centre.

Alexandria Chief Bernie Mack has designed several buildings in other Tsilhqot’in communities, met with the First Nations Health Authority and band members to come up with the building’s design.

It will feature a circular lodge entrance, a space for making and storing medicines, a spiritual space, a medical examination room, additional mental health space and a large gathering area.

“It is going to be

a big step toward focusing on our own wellness,” Mack said, noting the building should be completed

by July 2016.

With the new building the community hopes to expand its drug and alcohol abuse counselling programs.

“We are looking to have an office space to offer private meetings for our community members,” Mack said.

“We also work with Nenqayni Wellness

Centre who comes into our community to provide training so this will add to that by having office space for mental health and drug and alcohol staff.”

In the fire the band lost many records and documents which has made it a big challenge preparing for audits.

“We’ve been struggling like crazy to try and get as many documents back as we can because it’s going to hit our funding.”

Snow and CRD woes

Another year upon us

CREATIVITY EXPLORED

I

haven’t written a grumpy column for ages but I’m grumpy today.

City council is first on my grump list. As an older person who has trouble walking, big messes of snow between the sidewalk and the street do me in. As I write this (Monday) I believe crews are cleaning up, but what took so long?

I’ve been told the snow plows can damage the curbs if they get too close, but surely after all these years road crews could find a way around that.

Keeping taxes at zero is a laudable plan but I bet more than a few taxpayers would pay a few dollars more to have better snow removal.

The snow piles can’t be good for downtown businesses either.

My second grump is with the CRD for refusing to help fund the relocation of the 153 French Mile Store unless Connection it’s located in the Diana French 150 Mile area.

The directors can’t have thought this through.

The store can’t just be plunked anywhere, it has to be in the safest spot possible to protect it from thieves and vandals.

The store’s contents have both heritage and monetary value.

The facility will need access to staff, because if isn’t open to the public, what’s the point of having it? Is the CRD offering to carry all the costs of establishing the store as a heritage site at the 150?

The CRD’s fringe area directors and city councillors often get testy about who pays for what, but sometimes it gets a bit silly. I hope (again) they will forgo the turf wars and try to be good neighbours for the benefit of all their constituents, many of whom think heritage belongs to us all.

My grump with the provincial government is why is it raising the cost of ICBC, Hydro, and Medical Services Premiums.

Do we get better services from the increases or is it a camouflaged tax grab? And why is B.C. the only province to charge a “head-tax” for health care coverage?

It’s too soon to grump about the new federal government.

Our Viewpoint

Social conscience Social media gets a bad rap a lot of the time. Often it deserves it.

Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its — and our — failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy, paranoia and racism.

But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting — just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.

Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat — but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.

And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty — whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.

Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit — evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology.

Take the case of a father and daugh-

ter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck and trailer in South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve. When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament — identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move. Mainstream media took notice, circulating the appeal for information on the missing truck and trailer both in print and on the airwaves.

And good came of all the attention. An Abbotsford resident noticed a U-Haul truck apparently abandoned in a parking lot and called police. It turned out to be the missing truck, and while most of the family’s possessions were gone, some irreplaceable photos and other mementos — including urns of family members — were recovered.

It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media — particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

nother year has come and gone and 2016 is upon us.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year filled with peace, good health and prosperity.

I also want to thank all volunteer organizations for their dedication to improving life in Williams Lake and area over the past year.

Thinking about the year ahead, I’m filled with optimism. There will be challenges for all of us, but it is up to all of us to turn those challenges into opportunities.

Resource industries are vital in the Cariboo and Chilcotin and we must work together to bring investment in those key industries — and all industries in general. Everyone has a role to play, from ordinary citizens talking about and celebrating what makes our region a great place to live, to Chambers of Commerce, economic development agencies and all levels MLA of government Musings creating a business Donna Barnett atmosphere that convinces investors to come here.

We must pull together to attract projects that will build our economy while being environmentally responsible. As we know, a strong economy allows us to strengthen our social programs, create jobs, and curb crime and homelessness. *** I want to congratulate a Williams Lake business, Realm of Toys, on being named a semifinalist in the 13th annual Small Business B.C. Awards.

Realm of Toys is owned by Joan Douillard and her daughter Jazmyn Douillard and is nominated in the Best Concept category.

Joan and Jazmyn have created a toy store for all ages. What really sets Realm of Toys apart is their atmosphere and, of course, the Nerd Room. Jazmyn and Joan are constantly evolving and improving the décor and their product lines, and have come a long way since they brought in their first toys a year ago.

Small businesses like Realm of Toys are the backbone of the Williams Lake economy and a shining example of what can be accomplished through creativity and hard work.

Winners of the Small Business B.C. Awards will be announced Feb. 25 in Vancouver and I wish Joan and Jazmyn every success.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Looking ahead in 2016 I hope you all had a happy and restful holiday season.

2015 was a fantastic year and 2016 will be another great year.

Our government is committed to controlling spending, balancing our budget, pursuing responsible resource and economic development and investing in skills training to help create jobs for families here at home.

Later this month, in Prince George, the BC Natural Resource Forum will bring leaders from industry and various levels of government together to discuss resource development opportunities and challenges.

In addition to pursuing responsible resource development, we will continue to help British Columbians access the skills training they need to get good-paying, family-supporting jobs and participate in our strong, growing and diverse economy.

We launched B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint to re-engineer our education and training On behalf of the Nesika School PAC, I would like to thank Beeline Courier, for donating their time and services to deliver 350 pumpkins to the school for our annual pumpkin patch.

You and your staff are fantastic.

The world has to know the RCMP stand for good. Everyone is rejoicing Tucker is OK. Clara Lange Lac La Hache *** A very big bunch of roses to the kind woman who offered our elderly customer a ride home when the taxi never showed up.

She shouldn’t be left waiting in the cold to get home and I very much appreciate your willingness to lend a helping hand.

systems so British Columbians have the skills and training they need to take advantage of the job openings in our province’s diverse, strong and growing economy.

B.C.’s post-secondary system has been instrumental in helping us achieving our Blueprint goals.

We’re working to make skilled trades a career that is easy for British Columbians to access.

We have provided $17 million over the last two years to 14 public institutions toward purchasing new trades training equipment.

This past fall, we added 50 new open textbooks focused on skills training and technical areas, free of charge to students.

NEWS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Gaeil Farrar photo

Everybody’s perception of the world is just a little bit different and it is those differences that can often create great cultures and great art. The Cariboo Art Society members demonstrate some of their own reflective uniqueness in their collective art show that opened Friday evening at the Gecko Tree Restaurant and will continue through January. Morgan Warrington, who attended the opening, is pictured here with a painting in which several art society members were each given specific sections of an Albert Einstein portrait to interpret in their own creative style. The result is an interesting and thought provoking new perspective on the revered scientist.

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK Columneetza Campus

Anti-racism awareness campaign initiated A new media-based, anti-racism campaign is being launched in the lakecity by the multiculturalism team at the Cariboo Chilcotin Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

The campaign is funded by a $10,000 grant from the B.C. Ministry of Inter-

Keanna Saunders

national Trade, says multiculturalism team member Marlilyn Livingston.

She says the grant will allow the mulitculturalism team and network partners to formally establish an anti-racism committee.

This new team will be tasked solely with enhancing commu-

nity engagement and education through the launching of a mediabased public awareness campaign.

The network partners will include people from many community organizations as well as individuals who are representative of the community’s diverse groups, Livingston says.

Organizational and information gathering sessions are currently in progress.

In addition to Livingston, campaign co-ordinators include Margaret Anne Enders and Bettina Egert.

They say their approach to the campaign will be deliberately nonconfrontational yet

thought provoking.

It is hoped the campaign will encourage introspection and discussion among people who may not have been exposed to an anti-racist world view.

The media and poster campaign will also create multiple exposures and opportunities for public engagement.

NEWS

B.C. remains opposed to Trans Mountain expansion Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is close to releasing its plan to provide “world-leading” prevention and response to land-based oil spills, but that progress isn’t enough to change its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

Environment Minister Mary Polak announced Monday the province’s final submission to the federal review of the project confirms it still has not met B.C.’s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines.

Polak said she is preparing to present legislation this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Trans Mountain operator Kinder Morgan Canada and other companies. B.C.s final submission to the National Energy Board continues to recommend the pipeline

twinning not be approved, but Polak said that is not the final word.

“We have been encouraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met,” Polak said.

B.C.’s five conditions, presented in 2012, include NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.

Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but T:2.81” requirements for aboriginal consultation,

A tanker approaches the Westridge terminal in Burnaby, near the oil refinery also supplied by the Trans Mountain pipeline. spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone.

The project already faces 150 draft conditions from the NEB, in what Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson has called “the most highly scrutinized pipeline project by the NEB in history.”

The NEB is expected to hear intervenor arguments starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby, including affected municipalities. Vancouver is also opposed, arguing that a seven-fold increase in crude oil tanker traffic on Burrard Inlet repre-

sents an unacceptable risk.

The Trans Mountain pipeline has been operating one line for 60 years, running from northern Alberta through the B.C. Interior at Kamloops to its marine terminal in Burnaby. A branch line runs south to supply oil refineries on the coast of Washington state, and the pipeline has already been twinned on the Alberta side.

Lake City Secondary Columneetza’s Greenologists were treated to a unique tour of downtown Williams Lake.

Mary Forbes of the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society led nine students and teachers Jodie Mason and Nara Riplinger through four businesses in the core of downtown.

The group visited Angie Delainey, WLCBIA president and Satya Yoga co-owner where they were given the history of the Delainey building.

Delainey also shared her path of becoming a small business owner and her passion for living in a smaller town.

The students were able to see that with the immense support of family and friends and with a lot of elbow grease, you can carve out your own niche to become a successful entrepreneur in a small town.

Mark Denny of Cariboo Saddlery introduced the group to the art of custom saddle-making.

He showed the students the different types of leather and discussed

keep his business busy.

The real pieces of art are the hand-made tack lining the walls and the beautiful saddles.

Red Shred’s is a common place for teens to shop but the knowledge shared by owner Mark Savard was new to the group.

Savard’s store is filled with gear and clothing to help fuel humanpowered sports such as biking, snowboarding, running, and kayaking.

The products reflect Savard’s philosophy of being an environmentally-conscious business owner.

Working closely with Mary Forbes, Savard also helps provide free, working bicycles to lo-

cals in need as well as to various rural communities.

Geoff Bourdon at Woodland Jewellers introduced the students to the fine art of jewellery making. Bourdon designs unique pieces for his customers. He can even repurpose old jewellery or incorporate old pieces into new ones.

This practice is more environmentally sustainable as new resources do not need to be extracted from the ground.

Bourdon understands that jewellery is not a human necessity but has been part of our cultures for thousands of years.

He works to provide more environmentally friendly options for shoppers in Williams Lake.

Throughout the tour, host Mary Forbes discussed some of the history of downtown Williams Lake.

She showed pictures of what Oliver Street looked like 100 years ago and discussed the movement of various buildings. Her knowledge of our local area is incredible. What is more evident, however, is Forbe’s passion for our small town.

She encouraged all of our youth to graduate, travel, attend postsecondary education and then to consider returning to Williams Lake to live and work.

The opportunities are here for the making and the support from the community is endless. Just ask some of our local business owners.

First Cariboo Chilcotin Film Fest a big hit Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The first ever Cariboo Chilcotin Film Fest was a huge hit Friday evening with the Gibraltar Room filled to capacity.

“The place was packed, people were happy and upbeat, the atmosphere was great,” said event organizer Krista Liebe. “I am still so happy and grateful to everyone for their wonderful support.”

She said it had been a long-time dream to have a local festival featuring different films created by local directors.

“I tried for a while, but gave up on this a few of years ago. And then it suddenly came all together, just in a couple of weeks,” Liebe said.

Mayor Walt Cobb and Yunesit’in Chief Russell MyersRoss opened the festival with welcoming comments.

The evening included four short films and a 60-minute film.

Mt. Timothy (12 minutes) is part of the Shred the Nar project about B.C. and Alberta ski resorts by Oliver Berger and Morgan Day who were there to introduce the film.

Clouds of Autumn, a 15 minute art film about the impact of residential schools on First Nations family life was also introduced by the director Trevor Mack.

Portage the Legend, a 22-minute film about canoeing adventures on and around Quesnel Lake by Colin Labelle and Wesley Gregg, was introduced by Labelle.

My Legacy (festival version) a 60-minute film written and directed by Helen Haig-Brown was introduced by Helen’s mother Maria Myers, who was a key subject of the film.

In an interview during the reception following the festival Myers said My Legacy was six years in the making.

“It is a story of all residential school survivors and raising the next generation,” Maria said. “A lot of us are not healing at all.”

After suffering years of depression, Maria said she started working on healing herself through art therapy sessions taken locally and in Vancouver.

“I did it and then Helen followed,” Maria said.

As a result of that work, she said her daughter has finally found love in her 30s and is enjoying her first baby, living with her husband in Haida Gwaii.

“The film was a healing journey for her,” Maria said.

Trevor Mack said he will be heading to the Los Angeles area in April to make another short film, this time about the 2003 in-

Working with kids her niche Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer

The in-school mentoring program co-ordinator for Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Williams Lake brings experience and a love for working with children and teens to her job.

Chelsea Hamblin grew up in Williams Lake and after exploring other cities and career options found her niche back in the lakecity working with children and youth.

For the past year and a half Hamblin has been the program co-ordinator for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters in-school mentoring programs operating at Marie Sharpe, Nesika and Cataline elementary schools.

Like many teens Hamblin didn’t find school very interesting so after high school she headed off to Coquitlam where she worked for a real estate firm for a couple of years before deciding the big city wasn’t for her.

She returned to Williams Lake to be close to family and worked at a few odd jobs which also didn’t sit well with her. But through one of those jobs she discovered that she enjoyed and had a great rapport with children and youth.

“I tried different jobs and realized that working with kids is what I wanted to do,” Hamb-

lin says. “I didn’t value education as much as I should have while I was in school so I wanted to help disadvantaged kids to have a positive connection with their school and the community.”

She returned to school, to take the two-year Human Service Worker certification at TRU then went to work for the Boys and Girls Club.

She worked with children and youth at the Boys and Girls Club for six years.

Then a year and a half ago Big Brothers and Big Sisters invited her to apply for the job of in-school mentorship program co-ordinator in Williams Lake.

Hamblin says there are currently about 66 teen mentors and

15 adult mentors who participate in the inschool mentorship programs at Cataline, Nesika and Marie Sharpe elementary schools.

By the time all the matches are made by the mid-February deadline she says there will be 88 matches in the program, up from 65 matches made last year.

“We have had matches that have continued for several years,” Hamblin says.

She says mentors spend one hour a week with their assigned mentee at the school participating in nonacademic activities such as playing games, cooking, sports, colouring, painting, making crafts and generally being encourag-

Adult mentors are also subject to criminal record checks and must provide three references.

Hamblin says parents, teachers, and various agencies refer children for the in-school mentorship program for a wide variety of reasons.

“The mentee can be anyone, a child new to the school, one who needs a positive role model or help making friends,” Hamblin says.

“Often the kids are on the brink of success and just need a special friend to help them

Byer named Female Midget AAA Player of the Month

Victoria Byer BC Hockey announced that Victoria Byer of the Northern Capitals has been named the Female Midget AAA (FMAAA) Player of the Month for December 2015.

The five-foot-11 defenceman from Williams Lake tallied three goals and one assist for

a total of four points in four games in December, and has recorded five goals and six assists for a total of 11 points so far this season.

Byer, a third-year FMAAA player, has helped the Capitals to a 14-5-2 record, good for second in the league standings.

The Capitals also

won the prestigious Macs Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary at the end of the month.

Said Capitals head coach Mario Desjardins: “Victoria has had a great season leading the Capitals defensive core with 11 points to date. Victoria is an anchor on our blue line.

She brings 100 per cent effort every game, competes every shift, and also brings an offensive dynamic to our team by reading the play and making smart decisions on when to jump into the rush.”

Off the ice, Byer has volunteered at BC Hockey Female High Performance camps in her hometown of Williams Lake, and has also worked to mentor younger female players within the Prince George Minor Hockey Association (MHA).

Byer was chosen from a high calibre list of other nominees, including Madeleine Ericsson (Fraser Valley Rush), Brooke

Vial (Greater Vancouver Comets), Emilie TeBulte (Kootenay Wild), Julianne Nelson (Thompson-Okanagan Lakers), and Lexxi Smith (Vancouver Island Seals).

The FMAAA program consists of six zone-based teams across the province — the Fraser Valley Rush (Langley), Greater Vancouver Comets

(Coquitlam), Kootenay Wild (Nelson), Northern Capitals (Prince George), ThompsonOkanagan Lakers (Vernon), and Vancouver Island Seals (Campbell River).

The teams play a 30game regular season, followed by the playoffs.

The FMAAA Champion has the opportunity to compete

for the ESSO Cup, Hockey Canada’s National Female Midget Championship, which will take place in Weyburn, Sask. from April 19-25, 2016.

The FMAAA program was initiated in the 2007-2008 season in response to the membership’s desire to provide an opportunity for elite female hockey players to come

together on zone teams to challenge other elite female Midget teams.

The league has had nearly 100 players move on to post-secondary hockey opportunities.

New climbing program looking to get foothold in community Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Climbing Association is hoping to scale to new heights with the upcoming launch of its first-ever bouldering program.

Offered through the city’s Recreation Services Department, the program is aimed at all ages and runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m., beginning on Jan. 19, and running until June 23.

“With bouldering you use no ropes. It’s a different style of climbing — what climbers call more dynamic,” said Erika Driedger, president of the WLCA. Bouldering is low-to-theground, no rope climbing. The WLCA recently finished revamping the existing bouldering wall with multiple holds creating several different routes for all levels of climbers inside the small gymnasium at Lake City Secondary School’s Williams Lake Campus.

Cushiony mats are set up in the event of a fall.

Driedger said volunteers with the WLCA are excited to get the program started.

“The thing about bouldering is a lot of rope climbers use it as training,” she said. “You can come here, you don’t have to have a partner, it’s a great workout and fun for kids and adults.”

She said the climbing community in Williams Lake is particularly friendly, and noted during the program everyone will be working together to solve a problem, or find the best route on the wall.

“Everyone does it different ways depending on strength, style, height — everyone solves problems in a different way.”

Driedger added climbing has been proven to have therapeutic benefits not only physically, but also mentally.

“It’s good for body injuries or for kids with exceptionalities, whether physical or emotional,” she said.

During the first session participants will be given a safety orientation and taught climbing techniques.

Family Fun Day sees record-setting numbers Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club’s annual Family Fun Day was the busiest in the event’s history Sunday.

“We had 49 people show up, which is way more than we have ever had,” said WLCCSC’s communications director Kirsty Gartshore.

“I think part of that was slightly warmer conditions, but an-

other factor is the growing popularity of the sport, right across Canada. We have a great facility up there at Bull Mountain and some long-time Williams Lakers are discovering that now.”

At Family Fun Day participants were given free cross country skiing lessons by WLCCSC volunteers.

Free ski, boot and pole demos were also available and were donated by Caribou Ski Source for Sports.

In their next game Williams Lake met a very tough and fast Vernon team who ended up winning the tournament.

Williams Lake jumped out to a 2-0 lead but took their foot off the gas and Vernon scored four straight.

The Timberwolves, again, closed the gap and tied the game at 4-4 before Vernon scored a late goal and added another to skate away with a 6-4 win. Scoring for Williams Lake was Brett Hare, Braeden Boyd, Loring and William Paynton. Hayden Ly-

Timberwolves narrowly miss tournament final after falling to tough Penticton squad In what is becoming a familiar story of late, the Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves came just short of reaching the final tournament game losing a close battle in the semifinal to Penticton.

In the first game of the tournament versus the host team, Kamloops, the Timberwolves fought off a slow start but ended up solidly beating Kamloops 7-1.

Scoring goals for Williams Lake were Corey Loring (2), Dayton Long, Owen Powers, Riley Haines, Lane Wycotte and Mitch Labossierre.

ons was in net for the Wolves.

In their third game the T-wolves faced Abbotsford and skated away with a 7-3 win in what was a very one-sided game.

Wycotte and Loring each scored a pair for the Wolves with Jimmy Belleau, Labossierre and Boyd adding singles. Dylan Derose was in net for Williams Lake.

After the round robin performance Williams Lake advanced to the semifinal for finishing second in their pool and faced Penticton, who finished first in their pool.

The game was extremely fast and physical and the score was tied 2-2 late in the third period before Penticton got a great bounce and netted a late goal. They added another a few seconds later to seal the game at 4-2. Powers and Loring scored for the

Timberwolves, while Lyons was in net for Williams Lake.

The Wolves are home this weekend for four league games, two versus Prince George on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. and at 4:45 p.m. and two versus Quesnel on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and 3:15 p.m.

Keith grew up in Applecross near Perth Australia. As a youth he was an avid swimmer and saved a couple of people’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 “Bonne Santé”- 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.

Dec 24, 1918 - Jan 6, 2016 It is with sadness in our hearts that we have to announce the peaceful passing of our dad, grandfather and great grandfather Wayne Finkenbinder, 13 days after his 97th birthday.

Wayne was the oldest child of George Washington Finkenbinder and Mary Zeigler, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Before meeting his wife, Lorena Ayres Turman, Wayne worked at a variety of trades: a welder, farmer, rancher and was an enlisted member of the U.S. Army. Wayne was a WWII Veteran, receiving numerous medals, amongst them the Victory Medal for his courage at D-Day on the beaches of Normandy.

In the summer of 1958 and 1959, Wayne brought his small family to spend the summers in Horsefly, BC, fishing, hunting, camping and enjoying the beautiful Cariboo region. The summer of 1960, he immigrated with Lorena and daughter Darlene to their new home in Horsefly, now known as the Walters Ranch across from the gas station, to begin his life’s dream of being a cattle rancher. He excelled at this with the help of his family.

The Williams Lake Stockyards would always praise his cattle coming to sale.

In his retirement years, Wayne spent many winters in the Phillipines, enjoying the sunshine and culture. He continued to raise cattle in the summers with his daughter and son-in-law Leo. Left behind to grieve are: daughter Darlene LaFlamme, Grandchildren Jackie LaFlamme, Connie Snow (Kelly Hordiuk), Leo LaFlamme Jr., Great Grandchildren Drew Wood, Curtis LaFlamme, Tashina LaFlamme Hordiuk and Mitchell LaFlamme.

As per his request, there will not be a service. The family asks in lieu of flowers, that donations be made on his behalf to the Miocene 4-H club.

In our hearts forever! Rest easy!
