the scene of a targeted shooting overnight Tuesday.

No one was injured in this latest attack, however, it’s what was inside the home at the time of the shooting that has police speaking out.

“Those involved need to realize that this house had three kids in it — ages one, two and nine.

As police, we are just thankful that these children and no other innocent people were hurt,” said Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt.

Del Byron, noting the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) has been called in to review the matter.

Worker rescued Angie Mindus Staff Writer A United Concrete worker had to be rescued after becoming partially buried in a gravel hopper Thursday morning.

Members of the RCMP, BC Ambulance and Williams Lake Fire Department responded to the call for help just after 9 a.m. at 245 Hodgson Rd. Firefighters gathered outside the location

with ropes and headed inside the building where the man was buried up to his waist in gravel.

“We worked with staff to dig him out (as we) hoisted him up with a rope and a pulley system,” said Fire Chief Des Webster, noting the worker was able to walk out on his own after being freed.

Webster said staff had been alerted to the emergency after hearing the worker yell for help. He estimated all

Members of the Williams Lake Fire Department gear up to rescue a man trapped in a gravel hopper at United Concrete Thursday morning.

told he was trapped for about 45 minutes and escaped unharmed.

“He was lucky,” Webster said.

United Concrete owner Paul Zacharias said he hasn’t put all the pieces together as to why the incident happened, however, he is thankful for the quick response of emergency crews and that the worker was unharmed.

“I am grateful that nothing catastrophic happened,” he said.

Wildwood community scene of latest shooting Continued From Page A1 Not only is Byron wanting to send a message to the suspects that children are becoming the innocent victims in this escalating street gang conflict, he is also not pulling any punches about who is involved.

“This shooting relates to the ongoing

gang conflict in our area, specifically between the Indian Outlaws and the 712s,” Byron said.

“And we are very concerned that if this kind of high-risk behaviour continues innocent people are going to get seriously hurt or killed.”

Police were called to the scene of this latest shooting at ap-

proximately 11:53 p.m. Tuesday after one person of many in the home heard sounds outside and opened the front door.

Upon the door opening, two individuals who were standing in the driveway no more than 10 feet from the house, opened fire, shooting four or five times.

The suspects then

fled in what is being described as an older model, dark SUV. A neighbour said Wednesday he heard the shots but assumed the sound was merely firecrackers. It wasn’t until the morning, when the police had the area cordoned off and yellow squares marked the shotgun casings left in the driveway, that he re-

alized what had happened.

He said occasionally he would hear yelling from inside the rental home in question, but nothing too out of the ordinary until the shooting this week.

Byron confirmed the incident in Wildwood is connected to the targeted shooting on the streets of Glendale Jan. 2 which left two

young men injured, one seriously. That crime, whose victims are connected to the Soda Creek First Nation, occurred on the one-year anniversary of the unsolved murder of Jesse (Delmer) Frank, a member of the Tl’etinqox-T’in (Anaham) First Nation, who was found on the ice below the Rudy Johnson Bridge.

FINANCIAL is also connected to the high-speed chase and shooting along Western Avenue last June which saw stray bullets flying through the residential area as rival gang members chased one another through the streets before critically injuring one man inside a fleeing vehicle.

In Canada, we have a good source of less expensive generic drug products which help keep our drug costs down. In fact, most government health plans require the generic equivalent be dispensed if there is a choice. In Greece, this isn’t the case because brand name medications are imported and dispensed the majority of times.

New items are always being patented to help people reach their weight-loss goals.

The MelCap is one of these products. It is an electronic pill that is swallowed then positioned in the stomach by a magnet for best effect. Then, using a smart phone, you can deliver an electronic stimulation to the digestive tract to reduce your appetite. It works for about 3 weeks then has to be replaced.

If you take a number of prescription medications, ask our pharmacists to synchronize the quantities so they all can be refilled at the same time. It is convenient for you and also is a check on whether or not you are missing doses now and then. Medications work better if they are taken as the doctor orders.

If a cold has plugged up your sinuses, try inhaling water vapour. Inhaling humid air helps stimulate the flow of mucus and can bring relief. Even standing in a hot shower for ten minutes will be helpful.

For vaporizers and other items for relieving cold symptoms, talk to our pharmacist staff. We’ll do our best to make you feel better.

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mount Polley Mine hopes to resume fulltime operations in April or May of this year with plans to use the tailings storage facility that breached in August 2014, said Luke Moger, the mine’s project engineer.

During the mine’s community meeting held in Williams Lake Wednesday that attracted about 20 people, Moger said the company’s permit application to return to full operations is being reviewed by the Ministries of Mines and Environment.

By April it is expected the mine will have used up its processed ore limit of 4,000,000 tonnes, stipulated in its present temporary permit, he said.

“To have the district call it a working document shows an openness for us all to voice our opinions,” Gentles said.

Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse was absent from the ceremony and told the Tribune he won’t sign the agreement.

“Between Anaham and Stone Reserve we have our own elementary schools and the school district chooses to run an elementary school so they are competing for our children,” Alphonse said.

During the consultation for school closures Alphonse told the district to shut the Alexis Creek school down or convert it from Grade 8 to 12 so the Anaham community has an option to keep its children close to home rather than send them to secondary school in Williams Lake.

Help needed for gang violence As many know, Williams Lake is dealing with a gang problem.

While some may shrug off the news because they feel it only involves a small group of individuals willingly participating in that type of dangerous lifestyle, the reality is it affects us all.

The latest incident happened Tuesday night and saw shooters target a home with several people in it, including three small, innocent children.

Seeing shotgun casings lying in the quiet, residential streets of Wildwood next to a school crossing sign is not something we should be willing to get used to.

Hearing about victims being shot while on the streets of Glendale or thrown off the Rudy Johnson Bridge are not things we should accept as normal in a community the size of Williams Lake, but do we?

One has to ask, how have we got to this point?

For one, our justice system is not working. That much is obvious.

We shouldn’t be playing a game of catch and release with dangerous prolific offenders, which is ex-

actly what is happening.

Our police know these suspects and arrest them all the time only to watch them walk the streets again and again in no time at all.

Currently, our community is experiencing another rash of vehicle thefts which is also likely related to the release of these types of offenders who make a career out of being a criminal at a young age.

When are we going to say enough is enough? When the game turns deadly and innocent people die?

Our community needs more resources to deal with this problem.

Our local police need a dedicated team of officers in place to deal with these high-risk, dangerous offenders and our local social programs clearly need more supports in place to help identify these troubled children before they turn to a violent life of crime.

The provincial and federal governments must step up to the plate on this one now before we bury another victim as a result of this escalating gang war.

ANTI-RACISM COMMITTEE AT WORK

Gaeil Farrar photo

Spearheaded by the Canadian Mental Health Association lakecity branch, members of the city’s new anti-racism task force met Tuesday to work on planning their upcoming anti-racism campaign. Pictured in the back row from the left are Sarah Thompson, Marilyn Livingston, Eva Navrot, Kate Lines, Maggie Ranger, and Julie Bowser; front row from the left are CDC Area F Director Joan Sorley, Mary Thomas, Phyllis Webstad, and Margaret Anne Enders. So far the committee includes about 20 members and others are invited to join them.

Temple Grandin: one person can change the world If we need inspiration to take on a challenge, face adversity and make a difference, consider the role Temple Grandin has made to the lives of food animals, particularly cattle.

Temple is now a household name amongst ranchers and livestock managers. She is also a passionate advocate of people with autism. She herself is autistic. She achieved her PhD in spite of being a different learner. She thinks in pictures not in words, as she says. Thinking outside the box has been her key to successfully changing the way livestock is handled in North America and probably the rest of the world.

As a young woman she spent time at a relative’s ranch and learned to “see” what cattle saw

the

weekend

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

as they were being handled and moved through corral systems.

She didn’t like what she saw so this became her passionate objective: to design a different way of handling animals in holding facilities.

The essence of her corral sys-

tem is the utilization of the natural circling behavior of cattle and therefore allowing handlers to work the cattle’s flight zones despite being in the confined space of a handling facility.

The flight zone is the point at which the animal can no longer tolerate the approach of a person or other animal and moves away.

A decade ago Temple was credited with changes made in the major feed yards and slaughtering facilities to use her handling facility designs.

The uptake by the major consumers of meat products such as McDonald’s and those who supply them reached 50 per cent of industry. I am sure it is higher now.

There are no doubt people

who want to make improvements on her methods but the fact remains that the cattle industry is now more caring about the life of cattle when under their management. Animals are healthier; being stressed less because of her.

She is aware of the fact that confined animal operations (as opposed to open or free range operations) result in often lower priced food.

When I had the privilege to hear her speak someone asked her about implementing free-range production of eggs, to which she replied that America’s poor could never be fed with $4 a dozen eggs.

The price of battery eggs was then about $1 at Walmart in the U.S. That was her compassion for people being expressed.

Now here, I am told, egg producers who got together recently to determine the price of eggs raised essentially organically is about $7 a dozen. Again, hard to feed the poor at those prices!

I commend Temple Grandin to those of you interested in better facilities for livestock.

We hope to bring her here sometime during the Thompson Rivers University’s first year of the Applied Sustainable Ranching program, starting next week, at the Williams Lake campus.

Things that are going well in B.C. In the early days of this new year, readers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times.

For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest.

Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hardhats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians.

Shipyards are busy, with Royal Canadian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on ferries, tugboats and barges.

Most of the activity is private investment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007.

Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher.

Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal health ministers’ negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver.

Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a prom-

ising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year.

The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new director, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to specialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for ground-breaking research.

Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commodity prices, with more temporary mine closures expected.

The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tourism is ex-

pected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C. Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and found job growth in every region except the Cariboo. Province-wide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate.

That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good.

Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing work-

ers home from Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its promised infrastructure spending to create work across the country.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives.

Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the province’s Pacific Rim trade advan-

tage, and revenue sharing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces.

The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declining in 2016.

We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse.

Seafood supreme highlights delicacies of fresh water and ocean I was going through my freezer and found a couple of trout fillets, much to my surprise, because I thought they had all been used a few months ago.

There are so many ways to cook trout that makes this fish very tasty.

Trout, like salmon, can be used in combination with other seafood.

I was thinking about a soup, or a salad, or maybe add some prawns and scallops in a stirfried dish.

I wasn’t quite sure what I would do, but I did know there would have to be garlic.

I love garlic and could almost put it on my cereal in the morning.

Before I found the fish in the freezer I found this recipe that

It wasn’t difficult to decide how I was going to cook the trout, prawns and scallops, once I pulled the recipe from my desk drawer.

Ken’s Seafood Supreme

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

I had first made in about 2002 and, because it was hand written, suggested I picked up this dish from somebody and scribbled it down so there would be some recording of this if I wanted to try this seafood recipe.

• Three tbsp butter • Three tbsp olive oil • Four garlic cloves chopped • Eight tiger prawns.

• One dozen small scallops • Two trout fillets from 16inch trout (you could use salmon, if you don’t have trout).

• One half cup white wine • Seasoned sea salt and pepper to taste • Chives or onion tops for decoration In a medium hot frying pan put in butter, olive oil and two

cloves of garlic chopped.

After heating the garlic for five minutes shut off the pan and let all the ingredients get happy together.

One hour later turn the heat on under pan until medium and then add one-quarter cup of wine.

Maintain on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until a nice syrupy sauce is left.

Turn off heat under pan then add scallops and prawns.

Leave for one hour. This gives time for the scallops and prawns to snuggle up to the fine tasting sauce of garlic and wine.

After an hour turn on the heat to medium, take out prawns and scallops.

Add the rest of the wine and garlic and let this cook on me-

dium for about five minutes.

Put the fish in the pan, and when the fish is almost done return the prawns and scallops and cook all together for a few more minutes.

Use seasoning sea salt to taste along with a little pepper.

Serve prawns and scallops over fish, then pour the rest of sauce over the dish.

The actual cooking does not take much time, but you do have to organize this dish somewhat because it does take some time to let the flavours meld together and get really happy.

Have fun cooking!

Bye for now and GOOOOOD COOKING. Ken Wilson is a freelance writer with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Pioneer Log Homes Ltd.’s founder and owner Bryan Reid Sr. inside the company’s log car that set a Guinness World record in Arizona Wednesday.

HOROSCOPE

Log car sets world record Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Pioneer Log Homes Ltd. of Williams Lake has set a Guinness world record for the fastest motorized log car while raising funds for veteran groups.

The company’s founder and owner Bryan Reid Sr. set the record Wednesday, Jan. 20 at the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Phoenix, Arizona.

“It was unreal ­ — once in a lifetime, 90 km in 1/4 mile,” Reid

texted the Tribune Thursday.

Reid’s efforts were also filmed for Timber Kings, the popular HGTV Canada show that features Pioneer Log Homes and is in its third season.

The car’s body is made from one giant

cedar tree harvested near Bella Bella and powered by two Buffalo turbines made by one of Pioneer’s customers in Buffalo, New York.

In a previous interview, Reid credited Gerald Overton Sr. of Williams Lake for

being in charge of the mechanical aspects of the log car while Pioneer has been in charge of all the wood work.

The car weighs about 2,200 pounds.

All proceeds from the sale of the car will go to veterans, Reid said.

Anahim Lake goes green Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The largest of five diesel generators at BC Hydro’s Anahim Lake Generating Station is being converted to use mostly liquefied natural gas (LNG) in hopes of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs.

The three-year pilot project, which will commence in the fall of 2016, has an option for a one-year extension and could become a more permanent solution, said Hamid Tamehi of NIA Engineering team lead with BC Hydro during a teleconference with the Cariboo Regional District board Friday.

“We expect there will be significant reductions, and hope to run the plant on more than 60 per cent natural gas following the pilot.”

Part of the project

will see an LNG partner build, own and operate an LNG storage facility on the property.

The partner will also build, own and operate vaporizers used to heat LNG and convert it back into natural gas.

Once the new infrastructure is in place, it is anticipated that one tanker truck carry around 40,000 litres of LNG will travel along Highway 20 from Williams Lake to the Anahim Lake Generating Plant every 10 days.

When Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb asked why the community isn’t being connected to the hydro grid, Tamehi said converting the generating plant to using LNG is a “fraction” of the cost.

More information about this and other BC Hydro projects underway is available online at bchydro.com.

Firefighters rally for co-worker and friend Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Members of the Williams Lake Fire Department are rallying for Chris Walker, a fellow firefighter who has a rare form of cancer entangled in his spinal cord.

“He is having his second surgery in Kamloops today and

Chris Walker

we are all waiting to hear the outcome,” said Fire Chief Des Webster Wednesday.

Walker has been with the WLFD for six years, continuing a career he began as a volunteer firefighter in Saskatchewan.

“He is an outgoing family guy, he’s got kids, he works at Gibraltar Mine,” Web-

ster said of Walker.

“The family has a long road ahead of them.”

Walker has been told by his surgeon he will not have use of his legs after the surgery so the firefighters have been fundraising and started a Gofundme account to help Walker, his wife Nancy and kids,

renovate their home to be wheelchair accessible.

“We’re going to try and help out with that as much as we can,” Webster said.

“We’ll try and raise money and we have some qualified carpenters out of the fire hall willing to volunteer their labour time.”

Former Yunesit’in Chief Ivor Myers battling cancer Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Former Yunesit’in Chief Ivor D. Myers is battling cancer.

“His cancer is spreading, his stomach was removed and he is having problems keeping food down,” said Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse.

“They’ve given him three to six months.”

Myers was diagnosed last summer and hasn’t been able to work so bills and payments are causing stress which add to the weight he already car-

ries of not being well among other things.

“He has a young family and unfortunately when you are elected chief there isn’t the big huge pension you’d get if you were a politician in any other area.”

Friends and family have set up a GoFundMe account to help his three small children and his wife Stella who will benefit from any donations.

“It’s a tough thing to see Ivor go through this, aside from everything else he was a really nice guy and

I love a good story.

Telling a good story is an art form, and there are some doozies in the books that were written about the life of Jesus.

Luke was a doctor in ancient Palestine, a man of science who wanted to tell the story about Jesus.

He searched out the facts with hours of testimony from eye witnesses to the life of Jesus. We are left with a masterpiece called the Gospel According To Luke. It is filled with vignettes that awaken our imagination and cause us to smile with wonder.

and much to mourn.

Engrossed in conversation as they journeyed along, it took them a while to recognize that a stranger had come up alongside them. He wanted to know what they are talking about. They were amazed, believing they had met the only person in the region who knew nothing of Jesus. Urged on by the stranger, they began to tell the story about Jesus.

with wonder and their dull eyes were opened. They looked across the table and recognized Jesus their teacher and Savior! He was with them the whole time. In that moment he smiled (my addition) and vanished—no doubt off to show someone else that he really did conquer death.

He was RISEN indeed!

As a good story should, this one inspires wonder and raises questions. It Although their new offers hope and invites companion seemed to a response.

Robbie Burns’ Night Saturday There are still a few tickets available for the annual Robbie Burns’ Night celebration taking place at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139 this Saturday night, says Vivian MacNiel.

The evening includes a traditional Scottish roast beef dinner with the formal introduction of the haggis, that “great chief-tan o’ the puddin’ race,” escorted into the hall by the Williams Lake Pipe Band.

Doug White will give the address to the hag-

gis while Ron Hume will deliver the Immortal Memory in honour of the famed Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

Barry Sale will deliver the toast to the lassies and MacNeil will deliver the reply.

The roast beef dinner with all the trimmings wraps up with “tipsy laird,” a traditional Scottish trifle, minus the alcohol.

Entertainment will include performances by the Williams Lake Pipe Band; Highland dancing by Kirsten

Lees; Synergy singing a medley of Scottish songs; and Ken Emery on fiddle and Hal Giles on keyboards delivering a medley of spirited Scottish tunes. Dancing follows to the music of The Perfect Match.

Doug White will close out the evening leading the crowd in the singing of Star of Robbie Burns and Auld Lang Syne.

Tickets are $30 and available at the legion hall for the event coming up this Saturday, Jan. 23.

And yes, we already started work on our Second Cariboo Chilcotin Film Fest for January 2017.

Maybe you will have a film for us by then.

Stay tuned.

The Williams Lake Film Club will show its next special presentation, Fractured Land, on Tuesday, Jan. 26, at the Gibraltar Room.

able for a question and answer session afterwards.

Fractured Land features Caleb Behn, a young Dene oil and gas officer who found himself on the front lines of a huge shale gas boom.

His father is an environmentalist.

His mother works in the oil and gas industry.

As a representative of his people Caleb found himself sifting through rooms full of boxes of referrals from industry telling him what they wanted to do on his people’s land.

He held the record for most delayed applications, yet not one application was denied on the basis of his arguments. This is when he decided to go to law school.

Realizing that law alone may not be enough, Caleb speaks at demonstrations where he becomes an unexpected star.

We travel with him to New Zealand where he consults the Maori and to the Sacred Headwaters of the Tahltan people.

He meets with Council of Canadians president Maude Barlow, with Grassland director Josh Fox, Naomi Klein, Thomas Mulcair, and many others.

We travel with him while he confronts the fractures within his community and himself as he struggles to reconcile traditional teachings with the law to protect the land.

I am very excited to see this film. I am very excited to welcome Damien Gillis to the Williams Lake Film Club — and I am even more excited to welcome you to another special event.

Gillis is a Vancouver-based documentary filmmaker with a focus on environmental and social justice issues, especially relating to water, energy, and saving Canada’s wild salmon.

He is co-founder of the online publication The Common Sense Canadian.

While refreshments are being served, you will have a chance to talk to Gillis.

There will be a table set up by representatives of the Williams Lake chapter of The Council of Canadians before the screening.

Let’s all enjoy this informative and exciting evening together!

Winter Carnival teepee events coming together

Gaeil Farrar photo

Tanya Hutchinson is co-ordinating the First Nation cultural presentations taking place in a teepee at the Williams Lake Winter Carnival coming up in Boitanio Park Jan. 30-31.

One of the special First Nations guests at the Winter Carnival this year will be Spirit Carver Dean Ross/Gilpin, a member of the Pioneer Log Homes’ team of Carver Kings.

Ross/Gilpin says he will be carving small sculptures (carry home size) that will be auctioned on site for charity.

First Nations people from around the region are also being invited to join the presentations that will be taking place in a teepee that will be set up in Boitanio Park during the Williams Lake Winter Carnival Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30-31.

Event organizer Tanya Hutchinson says that so far two storytellers have been confirmed along with the Nenqayni Drummers who will perform

on the Saturday at 2 p.m. for about 30 minutes.

Members of the group will also share stories about how they became drummers.

Prizes for all entrants in chili cook-off Professional and amateur cooks who love chili are invited to enter their favourite recipes in the Williams Lake Winter Carnival’s second annual chili-cookoff.

Event organizer Karen Frey says the plan is to have about eight entries in each of the two categories.

The amateur cookoff will take place on Saturday, Jan. 30 starting at 12:30 p.m. and the professional cook-off will be on Sunday, Jan. 31 also starting at 12:30 p.m.

The first prize in both categories will be a trophy created by Spirit Carver, Dean

Ross/Gilpin, a member of the Pioneer Log Homes’ team of Carver Kings from television fame.

“They are beautiful and something people will be able to keep forever,” Frey says.

She says every contestant will also receive an apron and a gift card.

A panel of five people will be selected for each category to be the judges, Frey says.

So far she says the judges confirmed for the Saturday are Chief Joe Alphonse, Chief Roger William, Mayor Walt Cobb, Willie Dye, Coun. Craig Smith, and MLA

Donna Barnett.

Frey says the contest rules are fairly simple and everyone who enters will receive a prize.

Entrants present their best chili just as they would serve it for their guests. They will also be given 30 seconds to describe their recipe for the judges.

The entry fee is $25.

Entry forms are available at CJ’s Southwestern Grill located at the corner of Third Avenue and Oliver Street.

For more information Frey can be reached at 250-2621672 or 250-267-5983 or by e-mail at corasia14@gmail.com.

Workplace/Essential Skill Language Training

This language training will focus on essential skills for the workplace to increase your employability where language and soft skill acquisition pose a barrier.

This will help prepare you for employment in various industries and sectors where possible labour or skill shortages exist in the current and emerging labour market.

This year, she says they hope to have a wood-fuelled fire in the centre of the teepee instead of the gas fired unit used last year that didn’t produce much

heat to keep people warm.

She is also planning to have chairs set up in a wide circle around the teepee for people to sit on.

People who would like to give presentations in the teepee can contact Hutchinson at 250-267-5320 or by email tanyahutch75@ gmail.com.

Douglas Lake Cattle Company has expanded its holdings in the Cariboo Chilcotin with its recent purchase of the Riske Creek Cattle Company’s Cotton and Deer Park Ranches.

“This was sort of the third edition up in the Williams Lake area,” said Joe Gardner, general manager of Douglas Lake Cattle Company. “The Douglas Lake Cattle Company also owns the Alkali Lake Ranch and a couple of years ago we purchased the James Cattle Company at Dog Creek.”

Previous Riske Creek Cattle Company partial owner Grant Huffman is retiring and Steve Brewer, who has worked for Douglas Lake Cattle Company for 18 years, is the new manager, Gardner said.

New message therapists at Cariboo Chiropractic and Medical Centre in Williams Lake Kayla Walters (centre) and Nathan Walters, enjoy some of the outdoor scenery Williams Lake has to offer with their eight-month-old daughter, Grace. The family recently moved from Vernon to begin practicing massage therapy in the lakecity.

New massage therapists offer healing touch Nathan Walters and Kayla Walters have witnessed the benefits of massage therapy first hand.

The husbandand-wife duo, both massage therapists themselves at Cariboo Chiropractic and Medical Centre in Williams Lake, have the power of healing touch ingrained within their family dynamic.

“All family members can benefit from massage,” Kayla said.

“I was massaged monthly during my pregnancy and it’s a benefit I would highly recommend.

Our daughter has received massages almost daily since she was born.”

During their careers Nathan and Kayla have massaged many families.

“We’ve even heard the words: ‘You’re great for our marriage,’” Kayla said. “If one of us is in pain we just

remind the other to book a massage in order to take care of ourselves. The overall well-being of the family improves when the quality of life is better. Being able to play with your children and enjoy your activities in a pain-free body is a wonderful feeling.”

Nathan, who was born and raised in Williams Lake and Kayla, originally from Chilliwack, decided to make the move to Williams Lake from Vernon after their now eightmonth-old daughter, Grace, was born.

Kayla has been a massage therapist for seven years, while Nathan is coming up on his sixth year of being a massage therapist in February.

“Three major things [brought us here],” Nathan said.

“Family, a great work opportunity and affordable living.”

They also said another reason they moved to Williams Lake was to take advantage of all the outdoor activities they can enjoy as a family.

Kayla noted massages can assist children with sports and physical activities, particularly at a competitive level.

“Parents have often sought us out to assist with the various aches and pains that are common with sports and development,” she said. “Massage can also be a lesson in relaxation and appropriate touch.”

Seniors, likewise, can reap the benefits of massage.

“Mobility is a big issue for seniors,” Kayla said.

“With seniors taking away all their pain is not always something you can do, but mobility and being able to get around easier is

a huge benefit for them.”

The couple said whether you’re pregnant, in a family unit or otherwise,

they are here to guide you.

CLIMBING ASSOCIATION STARTS PROGRAM ON HIGH NOTE Kent Bernadet photo

It was an exciting evening Tuesday for the Williams Lake Climbing Association as the first-ever session of its new bouldering program kicked off at the newly-renovated climbing wall at Lake City secondary.

WLCA president Erika Driedger said around 25 people, some new to the sport and some with plenty of climbing experience, took part. The program runs every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6 to 9 p.m. until late June.

Girls rugby provincials a no-go Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It’s a year’s worth of work and planning thrown out the window.

That’s how Lake City Falcons girls rugby coach Morley Wilson described his disappointment after he was forced to cancel the 2016 Girls High School Rugby Provincial Championships, originally scheduled to be held in Williams Lake in May. Roughly 700 athletes from around the province were slated to compete in Tier 2, AA and AAA divisions at the tournament.

Last summer, Wilson and other tournament or-

ganizers visited multiple hotels in the city to confirm room capacity for visiting athletes. Wilson said they were told it would not be a problem.

Unbeknownst to Wilson, however, another large, national gathering — the 2016 Shriners Spring Ceremonial — falls on the same dates, May 2628, and expects to attract another 400 to 500 guests to the city.

Recently, Wilson was told the rooms were no longer available.

Due to the lack of capacity among city hotels for both events to take place, Wilson made the decision to call off the provincial

championships in Williams Lake.

Kamloops will now be the preliminary destination for the provincial event.

“I’m very disappointed,” Wilson said. “A lot of work went in from myself, and the kids and the parents had been planning on it. The kids, the parents and the rugby club were all helping. It’s 250 hotel rooms, times three, or four for the number of days, and that money’s not coming into the town, so it’s unfortunate.”

The idea to billet players was floated around, however, to attain billet families for roughly 700 players wouldn’t be feasible, Wil-

son said.

“Some businesses and people have approached me to help out and it’s greatly appreciated,” he said.

It’s not all bad news, however, as the Falcons are a likely candidate to host the girls’ rugby provincials in 2017.

“We’re really hoping for that, so fingers crossed for next year.”

As for the team’s upcoming spring season Wilson said the team is booked for the Las Vegas Sevens in March, and will travel to the seven-a-side provincials in Cowichan in April to defend the team’s bronze medal from last year.

From there, in May, they’ll head to the 15-a-side provincials in Kamloops to defend their second bronze medal from last season.

Three of the team’s key players — Emma Feldinger, Emma Pfleiderer and Laura Pfleiderer — also took part during this past weekend’s Canadian Women’s U18 regional camp, Jan. 16-17, in Burnaby after they were selected among the top players in the country in their age group.

From additional camps in Toronto, Red Deer and Halifax, a team will be selected to play for Canada during a tour to England in April.

The Canadian Mental Health Association and Association for Community Living Williams Lake is hosting a Funspiel on Feb. 13, 2016 at the Williams Lake Curling Club.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Each team collects pledges or pays a registration fee of $60.

Prizes for the highest score and most money raised will be given out.

Everyone is welcome.

Beginners and seasoned curlers are welcome to take part in the fun event for a great cause.

Coach pleased with T-wolves’ play Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Despite coming up on the wrong end of two games versus Kamloops during the weekend, Williams Lake Bantam Girls Timberwolves coach Ben Pierce was pleased

with what he saw.

The team fell 4-2 and 5-4 in the games, held Saturday and Sunday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

“Our team played well, just couldn’t score goals when we had the opportunity,” Pierce

said. “The girls really played with passion and pride and the effort for both games was there.

“I was very happy with the compete level from our team. I think we’ve really turned our compete level up.”

In game one Bron-

wyn Pocock tallied twice for the T-wolves, while Sara Vermeulen, Pyper Alexander, Gabrielle Pierce and Senna Trampleasure lit the lamp in game two.

“We ran into a pretty good goaltender who stopped a lot of shots,” Pierce said. “We out-

shot Kamloops by a wide margin each game. Our forecheck and composure with the puck was the best I’ve seen yet this year.

“We outplayed Kamloops both games.

Unfortunately it wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard.”

Stamps to face ‘Roos in playoff series Finish first in CIHL East Division in regular season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer After finishing first in the Central Interior Hockey League East Division, the Williams Lake Stampeders will have a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

They’ll take on the Quesnel Kangaroos in round two of the post season, who finished second in the division, in a best-of-five series.

“They’ll be good games,” said Stampeders president Marko Zurak.

“We’ll have to play our best and they’ll have to play their best to be able to come out on top.

They’ve got a pretty good team.”

The Stampeders finished the 16-game regular season with 12 wins and four losses. Quesnel, meanwhile, had eight wins, seven losses and one overtime loss.

The Kangaroos defeated the Stampeders 5-4 at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex during the last game of the regular season for Williams Lake on Friday.

Game one of round two of the playoffs kicks

They’ll be good games. We’ll have to play our best and they’ll have to play their best to be able to come out on top. They’ve got a pretty good team.”

- Marko Zurak, Williams Lake Stampeders President off on Saturday, Feb. 6 in Quesnel, before the series shifts to Williams Lake on Saturday, Feb. 13 and Sunday, Feb. 14 for games two and three.

If necessary, game four goes in Quesnel, while game five returns to Williams Lake.

Zurak said while the layoff before game one will be rough, it will give some of players some time to recuperate from injuries.

“We had some injures.

Matt Lees and Nathan [Zurak] were injured, but both are back,” he said.

“One of our key defencemen was hurt but he’s back, too.”

As an added incentive

to win the series, if Williams Lake beats Quesnel and if the Terrace River Kings knock off the Smithers Steelheads in their West Division playoff series, the Stampeders will be granted an automatic berth into the Coy Cup senior men’s provincial hockey championships follow-

ing the CIHL playoffs.

Terrace is the host team, so will automatically be granted a berth.

Two teams from the CIHL qualify for the Coy Cup, and the other two teams will be decided by the winners of games between the North Island Capitals and the Powell River

Pigeon,

Phillip Joseph 1936-2016

Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements.

250-392-3336

“Grandma, we’re coming to visit!”

Inspire.

Perspire.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Phillip Joseph Pigeon of Williams Lake after a battle with cancer.

He was predeceased by his father Rosaire Pigeon and his mother Mary (Grinder), and his brothers Albert and Doug. Phil leaves behind his wife Marilyn, his children Barry (Melissa), Brian (Sandra) and Kathy (Pat), his grandchildren, Nicole, Alex, Denis, Austin, Joe, Tannis, Darci, Olivia; and great grand children Cory and Carson; sisters Lorraine, Marj, Yvonne (Orin), Charlotte and brother Lawrence (Maggie); and many nieces and nephews.

Phil was born in Kamloops, May 5, 1936. He spent his childhood on the family ranch at Meadow Lake, and after marrying Marilyn they moved to Williams Lake where Phil managed the Elks Club and played on the Stampeders hockey team. After many years working with the PGE/BC Rail, Marilyn and Phil moved down to Squamish and later Campbell River where they enjoyed saltwater fishing, curling, and he worked as a welder. In 1980, they decided to move back up to Meadow Lake where Phil built a log home and semi‐retired ranching once again. He loved his horses, cattle penning, and going on long rides. In 2009 they moved back to Williams Lake fully retiring and the last few years, they enjoyed camping and fishing, golfing, hunting, watching sports, playing poker, and spending time with the family. He had a wonderful sense of humor and always a twinkle in his eye right up until the end.

In 1973 Marilyn married Kirk Johnson of the Kluane First Nation and they settled in Williams Lake and had a son, Shane. While raising her children, Marilyn enjoyed many good times with friends and helped a lot of people.

Once her children were grown, Marilyn attained a bartending license and worked at the Alexandria Indian Band, Kat-Ali Store, and Anaham Elders Society. For 14 years Marilyn was the bookkeeper and secretary at the Tsilhqot’in National Government where she enjoyed babysitting the staff’s children.

After “retiring” in 2004, Marilyn was hired as a Walmart greeter when the store opened in W.L. She always loved people and had the “gift of the gab,” so being a greeter was her dream job. Marilyn liked country music, crime documentaries, crossword puzzles, hairstyle magazines, cookbooks, and shopping for her grandchildren. She made friends everywhere she went and was treasured for her sense of humor, story-telling, honesty, intelligence, compassion, generosity, and style. She will be dearly missed by us all.

Marilyn is survived by her daughter Natalie, son Jamie, daughter-in-law Rebecca Johnson, grandchildren Chantal, Jimmy, Kirk and Shelly, brother and sister-in-law Bob and Sharon Miller, and great-aunts Evelyn Harrison and June Bond. Marilyn is pre-deceased by her daughter Shelley, son Shane, and common-law husband Roger Wycotte.

Special thanks to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Cariboo Memorial Hospital for their care during Marilyn’s brief illness.

In lieu of flowers, be nice and share a laugh in Marilyn’s honor, or donate to a charity of your choice.

A celebration of Marilyn’s life will be held at the Longhouse in Williams Lake, BC on Monday, January 25, 2016 at 2:00 pm.

The eyes have it

At this time there will be no ceremony held, however, there will be a Celebration of Phil golf tournament later this spring.

Details will be communicated to family and friends.

Call a Tribune advertising consultant today!

Eduardo “Eddie� Mendoza died peacefully at the Fraser Hope Lodge, on January 13th, 2016, in Hope, BC at the age of 77.

Eddie is survived by Aurora and their 5 children: Ederlaine Peterson (Chad), Charles Mendoza (Carol), Grace Bergen (Terry), Heidi Rattay (Dean), Lisa Mendoza-Hulka (Peter), and 8 much-loved grandchildren. Eddie is preceded in death by his parents, and his older brother Narciso (coincidentally the day before on January 12th, 2016 in Seattle).

Eddie was born on October 14, 1938 in Bocaue Bulacan, Philippines.

He studied agriculture, and became an Agricultural Teacher. He came to Canada in 1966 and worked at the BC Teacher’s Federation. Aurora came to Canada in 1967 and went to teach at Atlin, Cassiar, and eventually the Alkali Lake Reserve outside of Williams Lake. Eddie moved out of Vancouver and up to Williams Lake to join her. They married in 1970, and all of their children were born and raised in Williams Lake.

Eddie did not teach in Williams Lake, but instead purchased properties as rental investments. Eventually, he and Aurora bought and ran the Mt. View Store before selling it to Jack Leong (his best friend).

Living in the Frost Creek area, Eddie enjoyed raising chickens, ducks, turkeys and other assorted animals on their acreage which also had fishing ponds. He had rental properties that kept him busy as well. He was always on the go, and very active, so it was difficult for him after he suffered a stroke in 2007, and was confined to a wheelchair.

A private funeral was held on January 18th, 2016 in Williams Lake. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC. The family would also like to thank the caregivers and staff at the Fraser Hope Lodge for the professional and compassionate care they provided.

LOCAL SPORTS

Busy month shaping up for Cariboo Archers Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Arrows are flying in all the right directions for the Cariboo Archers.

Last weekend, two Cariboo Archers – Al Campsall and Lee Jackman — braved sketchy road conditions to travel to Abbotsford for B.C.’s largest indoor 3D shoot.

And despite not having

fellow teammates Fred Streleoff, Dan Mobbs, Jessie Mobbs and Ernie Schmid there, Campsall said they proved Cariboo Archers can still dominate.

“Lee shone as never before,” he said. “His 150/150 round with nine out of 15 ‘Xs’ (perfect centre shots) was the top round of all archers. He led all archers with three

perfect (150/150 rounds) for the weekend.”

Campsall, meanwhile, finished second with two perfect rounds and the same total of ‘Xs.’ Because both shooters had 150/150 scores, a onearrow shoot-off was put in place.

There, Campsall barely edged Jackman, but said Jackman was the undisputed “man of the event.”

In the days following the shoot Campsall continued on with his good stroke of luck, discovering he was among the topthree finalists for Sport BC’s Master Athlete of the Year. A gala dinner, scheduled for Thursday, March 10 in Vancouver, will honour outstanding amateur athletes, coaches and officials, named as finalists.

“It’s very exciting,”

said Campsall, who was also a finalist last year. “I have to admit I was quite surprised. You’re there with Olympic athletes, guys like Carey Price, and just to be able to mingle among that group is quite exciting.”

This weekend, a number of Cariboo Archers will travel to Vanderhoof for a shoot, before Campsall and junior archer Ty

Thurow will pack up their bows and head south to Las Vegas Jan. 29 for the Vegas Shoot, the largest archery competition in the world.

“Ty is a Canadian record holder and Canadian champion in indoor archery,” said Campsall, who coaches Ty. “He’s our star archer and I think he has a good chance to finish very well.

“He’s putting up scores in practice that are very impressive.”

The event is expected to attract some 3,000 archers from around the world.

“If he keeps it up, from his scores right now, he’ll definitely be in the top 10,” Campsall said. “It seems that he will be soon beating his coach’s scores, and is that not the ultimate goal of a coach/mentor?”
