Snow removal under fire Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The mayor and three city councillors in Williams Lake have been flooded with complaints about snow removal this winter and are taking actions to address it.

During the city council meeting Tuesday, Coun. Scott Nelson said he has never been told so many times what to do with a shovel.

“I simply cannot support our existing sidewalk snow clearing policy,” Nelson said, noting he visited many homes where people were away on holidays and the snow wasn’t cleared and seniors couldn’t get around.

“It’s a terrible, terrible policy and doesn’t fit the needs of our community.”

When contacted by the Tribune, business owner Jazmyn Douillard said snow piling up on the sides of the roads in the downtown has been a big problem this winter.

“We’ve had customers come in asking for shovels because they are stuck,” said Douillard, owner of Realm of Toys on First Avenue South.

Police investigate assault police are calling an “isolated incident.”

Const. Andrew Waters said the man, who RCMP noted was in stable condition Thursday, was found at 8:47 p.m. in the alleyway of 605 Carson Drive, along the northwest edge of Boitanio Park.

Staff. Sgt. Del Byron said at this time there is no evidence to connect this latest incident to the recent street gang violence seen in the lakecity that saw two men wounded in a targeted shooting in Glendale on Jan. 2.

Cobb agreed he’s never seen it so bad and on Wednesday staff was directed to do something immediately to clear the snow on the streets from curb to curb in the downtown core.

“That was our biggest concern and we said that cannot happen,” Cobb said, noting Gary Muraca, director of municipal services,

“If they need to go over budget then they go over budget, the idea is to keep the standard,” Cobb said, although on Wednesday he told the Tribune Quesnel’s snow removal budget is $1 million whereas Williams Lake’s is about $500,000.

Meanwhile the Downtown Williams Lake BIA has an online snow removal sur-

vey on its Facebook page rapidly gaining traction.

By Wednesday 300 people had filled it out, said Douillard who is also the BIA vice-chair.

The survey came about after two business owners complained of the dire situation.

Part of the problem is the fact people are not adhering to no overnight parking and no one is getting ticketed or towed, she said.

This can result in a greater chance of more negative behaviour in young children, so the “terrible twos” might be even more terrible.

Cobb said he wished people would phone city hall if they see cars parked overnight.

Last November the city made some changes to its snow clearing of sidewalks policy, saying it wanted to emphasize routes to public institutions like schools, hospitals, seniors centres, bus stops

and areas where we know if people have mobility issues it’s difficult to get around.

“One of the things we heard last year during operations was our response time to get in front of schools and the hospitals was not fast enough,” Muraca said back in November.

“We were also asked to retain clearing the accessible parking spots in the downtown core and we will be doing that.”

“We also have to make sure we’re engaging with the families and communities in developing a plan.”

“We’ve come out in support of this inquiry,” Doherty said. “We don’t want to see another unnecessary loss of life.”

Well-known lakecity homeless man dies in hospital A well-known homeless man in Williams Lake died early Wednesday in the hospital.

Ray Palmer, better known by his nickname “Fingers,” had been in the hospital with pneumonia for FIR

three weeks in December and was readmitted a week ago after a woman found him collapsed on a sidewalk downtown, said homelessness worker Wayne Lucier.

“He’d been a street person for a long time,” Lucier said. “I moved here in the 70s and he was on the

streets then.”

On Wednesday Lucier caught up with some of Fingers’ friends sitting on a bench above the Stampede Grounds who were also saddened by his death.

“His roommate

Joseph Paul told me Fingers was one of the best guys on the street,” Lucier said.

United Steelworker Union president Paul French said for as long as he can remember Fingers was a well-known face on

the streets of Williams Lake.

“When we were kids we were afraid of him, but he was always friendly,” French recalled. “When I grew up I realized he wouldn’t hurt a flea.

He was a guy caught

in the system.”

Fingers was staying at the Friendship Society Shelter the week before he went into the hospital and staff there said he had a great sense of humour and was a “smart, smart” man.

“We need to make sure we’re meeting to come up with sound plans and programs that provide safety, education and resources to make sure we’re building up relationships in our communities for all.”

Whether it’s lateral violence, or someone unknown to the victim committing the crime, the region has to find a way to make sure that resources are being put into concrete action, he said, noting many organizations are already providing safety programs and it’s important to work with them.

Info key on pipeline The fact that the provincial government is not supporting the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is fairly surprising. As they say in their own announcement, the Liberal government supports the oil and gas industry in general.

It’s nice to see that the government’s support is not unconditional.

In this case, parent company Kinder Morgan seems to have decided that they could just assure provinces and municipalities that all would be well, and still get a thumbs up. Repeatedly, the province has asked questions about how any possible spills might be dealt with. Repeatedly, according to the provincial report, Kinder Morgan has failed to provide detailed answers.

This is not a minor issue. The province has a responsibility to watch over the hundreds of rivers and streams — including the Fraser — and of the ocean that the pipeline crosses or skirts. Here in the Lower Mainland, the Trans Mountain pipeline runs through valuable farmland, across salmon-bearing streams, and through densely-populated suburbs.

Yet when Kinder Morgan did

send information to the province, it was “heavily redacted,” according to the province. This means that what information was in there about spill prevention and response was partially blacked out.

This isn’t the first time Kinder Morgan has been accused of not providing information to governments of its plans. Langley Township has also complained about questions to the oil pipeline firm going unanswered.

There seems to be no explanation for why Kinder Morgan couldn’t share the complete details of its emergency plans with the provincial government. Whatever their reason, they seem to have shot their cause in the foot. With the province withholding its yes, Kinder Morgan will be heading into the National Energy Board’s hearings with one of the most important players on the opposing side.

Kinder Morgan needs to take seriously the demands of governments — and the general public — for detailed information about emergency procedures. Anything less is an insult to our intelligence.

RESIDENT WARNS OF SCAM

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Tina Donovan says she received a letter from Maritime Consultant Inc. naming her as a beneficiery to an estate and knew immediately it was a scam. She’s warning anyone receiving the letter to beware because it took her a concerted effort to convince a woman she knows in her 80s that the letter was a scam. “Check the Internet anytime you get these types of letters and you’ll see how many other people have received the same one,” Donovan says.

Consolidation in the cattle industry becoming more common North America wide the commercial ranches are getting bigger, so there are fewer ranches but the individual units are bigger, leaving the cattle numbers about the same as they have been recently.

The cost of production is much higher which means that to cover the cost of overhead an operator has to have more cattle than before.

Recent high prices may be just an anomaly until the U.S. herd is rebuilt after years of drought and low prices.

Recent examples here in the Cariboo are the expansion of the Blue Goose Cattle Company, now several local ranches

in addition to their original 70 Mile/Clinton holdings.

Market opportunities for organic, grassfed and “natural” beef have driven this as well as the long-term security of inves-

tors by buying land.

One author, Alan Nation, who has written Knowledge Rich Ranching, says that the return investment on ranches over many decades in the U.S. has been five per cent.

Of course much of the return is only realized when places sell!

Just recently it has become known that Riske Creek Ranches has sold to Douglas Lake Cattle Company, which also has expanded by acquiring ranches at Dog Creek and Alkali Lake.

Now one large American Corporation owns a large area of some of the best natural grassland in B.C.

They must see the value in farmland ownership and must be committed to stewarding the grasslands well because that is the key to successful, sustainable ranching enterprises.

Nowadays many foreign entities, governments and corporations, are buying farmland the world over because they can produce food cheaper potentially in other countries.

I think they are buying the water that they don’t have.

It takes something like six tons of water to grow one ton of grain.

You might call it speculation driven by higher food prices and demand from a burgeoning

world population.

There is a smaller version of consolidation where a family ranch business buys land when cattle prices are good.

This is happening as well, making the ranches more viable because there are more units of production over which to spread the overhead costs.

There are other ways to be profitable, but that is for a later column.

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

Avatar sequel bombs in Walbran Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera.

I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is, an anti-capitalist propaganda film.

Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.” Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collective strikes back.

Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry. Now the story line is being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s “war in the woods” that led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.

Protest tactics are being refined. Targeting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media.

There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now, although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is also protected from logging, as are most of

the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising.

The network uses multiple front groups. Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunctions against direct actions that disrupt legal logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently co-ordinating media and protesters.

A 1990s remnant called Friends of Carmanah-Walbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous action” by three protesters to disrupt logging. Not their guys, you understand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a road-building blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons.

These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction.

Cast in the role of evil corporation is Teal-Jones Group, a B.C. forest company trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted for-

est in the world. It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where investments have been made to handle second-growth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest.

Protesters have dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2 hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes.

Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims.

Block 4424 isn’t being logged,

although it was permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park.

Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria court-

room, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March.

A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled. He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for leftwing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging.

POTATOES ON THE MENU

Gaeil Farrar photo

From the simple to the exotic all types of potato dishes were on the table for the Potato House Society’s annual general meeting and potluck dinner Wednesday evening at the Scout Island Nature Centre. Pictured from the back left are Carol Thiessen, Jane Perry, Krystal Mitchell, retiring director Chris Hutton, beekkeeper Ann Carter, secretary Pat Teti, new president Beth Holden, and retiring president Mary Forbes. Pictured from the front left are new director Christina Jung, treasurer Chris Coates, and Chris Hornby. Missing from the picture is new director Laura Masini Pieralli.

Learning the joys of cooking a treat in itself There are many ways people get into learning how to cook.

Hunger, if you want to fill that void in your stomach daily, you have to fill it somehow.

You could eat at restaurants or on sandwiches your grandma showed you how to make when you were eight, or open some tins of food.

You don’t have to be a great cook to provide you and your family with tasty meals.

In today’s cooking you can mix almost anything, so go ahead and try something.

If you don’t like it, try the recipe with a little difference, and see if it works for you. But, don’t give up

Ken’s Country Kitchen

with Ken Wilson

on learning to cook. I just read a recipe about blueberries and Brussels sprouts, something that I probably would not have thought

would go together, but then I have concocted dishes over the years that were equally odd.

You don’t have to do first class cooking for each meal. In fact, a really good meal every once in a while is macaroni and cheese, with all kinds of additions.

Green onions, tomatoes and other veggies all enhance mac and cheese, as do different kinds of meats or fish. Different herbs and spices also add another taste to this iconic dish.

Whatever you are cooking make sure you have all the spices, herbs and the other goodies you are going to use. I was cooking something that called for tarragon until

I went into my spice cabinet to find there was none available, so I used some dill and it worked out well.

It doesn’t always work that way but it sure in the heck is a quick way to experiment with tastes.

You don’t have to be a gourmet cook to do up meals that are filling and will please the old taste buds.

Gourmet cooking is usually a bit more expensive, as an example many would not use dried herbs — must have fresh.

Have some fun when you are cooking, and if you make a dish where your partner would say: “I would serve that meal to company,” meaning it was good. Write it down after the meal so you have a

reference for future cooking.

Once you start experimenting doing your own homemade dishes there will be an urge to do even more.

You can also make the dishes more presentable with a few more pieces of colour to make it look attractive. Perhaps some thinlysliced radish or red, green, orange and yellow peppers.

Take some time to learn more about cooking and don’t forget to try some experimentation with food.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Family Fest to promote literacy Success by 6, Children First, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy and Daybreak Rotary.

She says Family Fest encourages literacy as a family activ-

ity and helps parents understand their role through demonstrations and play-based learning.

It also helps parents recognize and become actively involved in

2016 YEAR OF THE RED MONKEY

The 11th annual Family Fest, celebrating families and supporting lifelong literacy and learning is coming up on Sunday, Jan. 31.

The event is enjoyed by hundreds of visitors each year and will be held in the Gibraltar Room from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We have puppet shows, story-telling, crafts, reading a story with Sir Read A Lot (moose mascot) and much more,” says event organizer Kirsten Stark.

She says every child receives at least one new book and each family receives a reusable Family Fest bag containing literacy related information and activities, so the fun can continue at home.

Sir Read A Lot also encourages families to bring along their old books to swap.

Stark says Family Fest is made possible through the long term support provided by the Early Childhood Development Network and sponsorship from

early literacy related events in their child’s development.

“It helps raise awareness about the importance of literacy and early childhood development,” Stark says.

With high tech winter wear and proper layering, winter comfort is easy. Start with polypropylene and thermal under layers that releases moisture while retaining heat. Add other heat retentive layers depending on the temperature. Also consider the fact that your forward motion will add to the wind chill factor.

Avoid cottons and sweat shirts which retain moisture, making you cold and clammy which may lead to hypothermia.

Good snowmobile wear contains materials that retain heat, release moisture and resist both water and wind. Even better, try to find suits that are water and wind proof. Consider wearing a buoyant snowmobile suit if you plan on traveling across ice as it will assist in keeping you afloat but most of all help to protect you against hypothermia. Snowmobile suits should have reflective trim for increased visibility during night riding. Carry extra clothing, socks and mitts for layering. A helmet and face shield combat cold and hazards, while YEAR-END waterproof, insulated boots and leather snowmobile mitts provide warmth and protection.

In the past year our club was involved in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) South which is for students in grade 11 and 12 and takes place in the lower mainland.

Our club was able to send two students to this program where they learn leadership skills, self-confidence, team work all while having fun with other students from across the district. The students also learn about the work Rotary does in our district and internationally.

from other countries.

One of the highlights of this program is that the students get to watch the swearing in of new Canadian Citizens.

Rotary Club

Awareness Month

It’s a great day to be a Rotarian!

Actually every day is a great day to be a Rotarian. Rotary is an amazing organization.

Where else do you get to pay to volunteer, be one of 1.228 million Rotarians around the world, be able to attend any of the 35,221 Rotary Clubs around the world, be part of the quest to eliminate polio (only Afghanistan and Pakistan remain) by 2019, and have breakfast (as we do in Daybreak Rotary) with likeminded people every Tuesday morning at 7:00 am? Yes, we meet every Tuesday at 7:00 am for a delicious breakfast, fellowship, laughs, and the occasional guest speaker.

During our weekly meetings we decide what we want to do next. Our main focus has three categories: Youth, Elderly, and Literacy.

Together or separately, almost everything we do have these at the centre. In order to help, we usually need money. We fundraise throughout the year to support our habit of giving.

We have two Giant Book Sales every year. These have been going on for 25 years one of the first fundraisers of a brand new Club. The next one will be February 13 - 27, 2016 upstairs in Boitanio Mall.

We collect thousands of books from our Book Bins at Save On Foods, Safeway, Boitanio Mall and The 150 Mile Centre.

We are always looking for volunteers to help out during the sale. Please call me if you can help.

The Daybreak Rotary Club

was worth it! Now we have money to give to Meals on Wheels, Family Fest, Harvest Fair, ShelterBox, Big Bike, Bowl For Kids, High School and TRU Bursaries, 4Sure Bistro’s Pay It Forward program and more I know I’m forgetting. This spring the Daybreak Rotarians and Kiwanis Club will assemble and present wheelchair swings to two children. That will be the highlight of my year as President for sure!

One of the Club’s favourite things to do is serve and clear tables at the Children’s Wish Breakfast every December. It is so much fun to DO instead of just GIVE. of Williams Lake runs the Stampede Parade and has done so for the last 10 years.

We are already thinking of a theme for the 2016 parade to run the Saturday of the 90th Williams Lake Stampede.

Hmmm, maybe that should be our theme? It’s a ton of work and a ton of fun and our whole club gets involved.

On September 17, 2016 we will hold our 2nd Annual A-Pork-Alypse - A Harvest Pig Roast & Dance at the Let R Buck Saloon, behind the Grandstand at the Stampede Grounds. We had so much fun last year that we want to do it again. We raised a lot of money that we gave to Rotary International and to PolioPlus.

We also do some Bartending to raise funds. We did three in a row in Nov/Dec but it

Corry Wowk is very proud to be a Rotarian.

My year as President is more than half over. I will hand the gavel to Ron Malmas on June 30 and I will start on a new venture as Assistant Governor for the Cariboo. I will be looking after the four clubs in the area for the next three years!

Do you want to change the world? Overnight? One step at a time? Impossible task?

I am reminded of a beautiful story by Matthew Kelly, a prolific Christian writer and heavily involved in the media spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I will paraphrase and adapt the story. There was a father who had a major presentation to give for his work. He was pressured for time to complete it. He was to give his presentation tomorrow morning 9 am.

His young daughter was bored and had nothing to do. So she bugged her father to be entertained. The man was frustrated because he needed undivided attention to complete his work. In his frustration, he found a magazine and vigorously thumbed through the pages until he found a colourful map of the world. He ripped the page into many small pieces and scrambled them on the floor. Knowing that his daughter had not studied the map of the world yet, figured he would have a least a couple of hours to catch up on his work. Then he said to his daughter:

PARSONS PEN

BY Father Derrick “Sweetie, if you put this picture together, I will pay you $20.” The father walked back to his office relieved.

The daughter, keen on making the money, started putting the picture together.

Ten minutes later, she came back with the picture completely and perfectly remade. The father was baffled, thinking how his little daughter could have possibly put this picture of the world together so fast.

She smiled and said, “You know, Dad, I had no idea what the map of the world looked like, but as I was picking up the pieces,

I noticed that on the back there was a picture of a woman (modestly dressed).”

The Father smiled, and she continued. “So, I put a sheet of paper down, and I put the picture of the woman together, because I knew what the woman looked like.

I placed another sheet of paper on top, then holding them tightly I turned them both over.” She, with a big happy smile on her face, exclaimed, “I figured, if I got the woman right, the world would be right.”

The only thing that we can really change is ourselves, and only with the grace of God. And if we are not willing to allow ourselves to be changed to be conformed to the Truth, then how can we expect others to change. But when others see a change in us, then they may freely choose to change. Then the world will begin to change, person by person.

Jesus says, “I am the Truth.” (John 14:6) Jesus says, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

(Matthew 18:3)

Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddlers host Cod Gone Wild A concert with the popular Celtic inspired group Cod Gone Wild is coming up at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall.

The event is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 24 as a fundraiser for the Cariboo Chilcotin Youth Fiddle Society.

Their colourful biography describes Cod Gone Wild as comprised of a “tender-hearted singersongwriter from Newfoundland (Andrew Mercer), an Albertan drummer, who was raised in Saudi Arabia (Chad “Rhino” Carter), an internationally renowned fiddling B.C. beauty (Susan Aylard), and an effortlessly

cool Japanese Canadian bass player (Roy Kawano).”

Based out of the Okanagan since 2009, this Celtic inspired band is focused on giving traditional music a modern edge.

The audience can expect to hear an assortment of original and traditional material from their latest two albums, as well as some foot-stompin’ fiddle tunes.

The musicians fuse their classical, folk and rock backgrounds together to create a dynamic and unique sound that instantly connects and resonates with audiences.

Through their uplifting energy and remarkable stage presence, they weave together a tapestry of tales that evoke a nostalgic experience of days gone by.

They have independently recorded and produced three studio albums primarily feature traditional tunes Cod Gone Wild, The Traveler and Battered and Fried, and have now developed an increasing amount of original material for future albums.

The group has toured extensively from San Francisco to Newfoundland, and most recently to the Canadian ambassador’s

residence in Quito, Ecuador for a special Canada Day performance.

Advanced tickets for this family friendly event are available at The Open Book at $25 for adults and $5 for students and children ages 16 and under.

The show takes place at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall located at 3038 Pigeon Road.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the two-hour show starting at 7 p.m.

A concession will be provided by the fiddle society.

Timberland Ski Club coffers bolstered Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The 2016 New Year’s Apres Ski Party and Fundraiser has been another financial boost for the Mt. Timothy Ski Society and Ski Patrol.

“We raised over $5,000 which was great,” says Tera Grady one of the event organizers.

“The auction was just as successful as last year.”

She says auction items were donated by more than 50 local businesses and individuals — everything from gift cards to clothing, snowboards, snowshoes, accommodations at Sun Peaks, to a large cedar bench.

She says Chris Armstrong won the Timberland Ski Club 50/50 draw of more than $200 and Lientjie Steyls and her husband, Jacob, won the bids on the cedar bench donat-

ed by Pioneer Log Homes and the ornamental clock donated

by Cariboo Steel.

“Party goers had lots to choose from and enjoyed bidding each other up and taking home deals,” Grady says.

She says the decorations were beautiful with two-and-a-half foot silver snowflake chandeliers hanging down over each of the tables and sparkling snowflakes hanging all above the dance floor.

“Numerous compliments were received by the organizers on the food and the variety at the bar,” Grady says. “Dancing continued on until 2 a.m.”

She says the funds raised will be allocated to the purchase of snowmobile attachments for the first aid toboggans, for ski patrol supplies, and for additional radios for the ski area, among other things.

High Society raises the roof at Safety Concert Alexei Boyanowsky Special to Tribune/Advisor “High Society will tickle the loins of your ears, and tantalize the cockles of your eyes,” is how Canadian poet Shane Koyczan describes the band that played at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre last Friday night.

High Society had the majority of Williams Lake concert goers up and dancing by their third song: Do Me Wrong. A crowd of all ages filled the small venue, about the size of an elementary school classroom known around town as The Old Firehall.

The opening act was a mesmerizing oneman performance from Shadows Cast: The Alkemist who had the audience on the edge of their seats in silent anticipation for each song.

His sound was mysterious, complex and influenced by music from all over the globe, most evidently the Middle East. He describes his lyrics as inspired by psychedelic visions and dreams. The stage was set like a magician’s shrine from the darkages, complete with antlers, candles, tallgrasses and a unique mix of instruments.

When High Society hit the stage, there was a drastic change in energy from dark and spiritual to loud and spirited. High Society’s comically written lyrics and well thought out a cappella introductions had audience members giggling and snickering. When in full-swing their loud and raucous music was beautifully accompanied by the booming voice of their female lead Chelsea D.E. Johnson — her

voice reminiscent of Etta James or Big Mama Thornton.

The band is composed of Johnson on electric guitar and Adam Farnsworth, a male singer on keyboard. The talented Ashton Sweet on the baritone saxophone, Kenan Sungur on drums and a bass player rounded it out.

The East-Vancouver band lived up to their reputation and satisfied the cockles of most everyone’s ears which was evident from the whooping, whistling and roaring applause at the end of each song.

Tickets were a suggested $15, and the show was the first in the Safety Meetings concert series put together

by Arts on the Fly Festival Society at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre. The next concert in the series will be

Public Advisory Notice Cariboo Region Lake Aerators

The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake • Dewar Lake The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators.

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

Dubois commits to junior A club But injuries present setback for Cariboo Cougars Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It’s been an up-anddown month for two Williams Lake hockey players.

Both Colton Thomas and Chase Dubois, third- and finalyear players with the Prince George-based, BC Major Midget League’s Cariboo Cougars, learned recently their seasons would be coming to an abrupt end with just 12 games left in the regular season.

Thomas suffered a

dislocated knee during the Mac’a AAA Midget Hockey Tournament over the Christmas

break, while Dubois broke his ankle in a regular season game last weekend against

the Vancouver North East Chiefs.

The news isn’t all bad, however, as Dubois was named the BCMML player of the month for December of 2015 and has committed to play junior A hockey next season for the West Kelowna Warriors, an opportunity the young player said he’s looking forward to.

Dubois amassed a total of 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 25 games this season and sits seventh in league scoring currently.

Thomas, meanwhile, put up 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points in 26 games played.

Both players are considered leaders on the team by Cougars’ head coach Trevor Sprague.

In three seasons with the club Dubois and Thomas were an integral part of the team’s success. The Cougars are currently first place in the BCMML with a 19-6-3 record.
