Winter Carnival set to entertain Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Despite some unseasonably warm weather and even a little rain this week the 2016 Winter Carnival is a go this weekend.

“We’ll be fine,” says an optimistic committee chair Darrick Boyes.

There may be bare patches around the park where the snow has melted but in the key areas

where it is needed the base in there, Boyes says.

He says the city brought in 10 dump-trucks of snow and there is a foot to a foot-and-a-half base to work with.

He is also pleased with the weather report calling for cooler temperatures and snow for Friday.

“We’ll make things happen,” Boyes says.

The Winter Carnival takes place

in Boitanio Park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30 and 31 and will include all sorts of outdoor activities provided free of charge (equipment included) such as sledding, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Saturday there will also be free skating next door at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

There will be face painting, karaoke, performances by magician

Jesaja Class, First Nations cultural activities in a teepee, maple syrup candy making, chili cooking contest for amateurs and professionals, children’s games, mini-petting zoo, snowman art contest, horse-drawn sleigh rides, a bonfire and more to enjoy.

People will also be able to purchase breakfast cooked by the Lions Club and international dishes on offer by various food vendors.

LOCAL NEWS

RCMP sweep city of prolific offenders Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP are breathing a temporary sigh of relief after arresting men they believe are responsible for some of the recent gang shootings, vehicle thefts and break and enters occurring in the lakecity.

Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Milo MacDonald said two prolific offenders are back in jail and two more are in police crosshairs following weeks of intense, targeted police investigations toward known individuals, who were picked up last week on unrelated charges.

The accused are currently in Prince George Regional Corrections Centre facing various charges including possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats, breach of probation and failing to comply with the

conditions of an undertaking.

So far, police have been unable to connect anyone formally with the more serious charges relating to the Jan. 2 shooting on Mackenie Avenue which left two men wounded, one critically, and the shooting in Wildwood Jan. 20, where a home with children inside was shot at several times. MacDonald admits finding witnesses willing to name suspects in the on-going gang violence has been a stumbling block in the investigations, however, RCMP have seemed to find another way to get the suspects off the streets.

“If we can keep a few of these top-end guys in jail, I know it will significantly reduce the risk to public safety,” said MacDonald, who was planning to give the same message to concerned members of the Williams Lake and District Cham-

“I want to remind people that this is a very, very small group of individuals who have not only been terrorizing Williams Lake but also Anaham and Soda Creek. They are not representative of these communities and when they are off the streets, everyone is much safer.”

Residents and business owners have been on edge since gang violence erupted on the streets two days

“We have 120 people working for us. How many of those give back to the communities they represent?

That needs to change,” Alphonse said, emphasizing he wants to see First Nations communities hosting soccer, baseball and hockey tournaments, for example.

“Maybe some of these guys we can’t turn around, but there are all the eight and 10 year olds out there who we can reach before it’s too late ... we can drown out (gang violence) through our culture and recreation. Give them pride, give them community.”

into the new year on the one-year anniversary of the murder of Jesse Delmer Frank.

The weeks following have seen vehicle thefts increase from one a month to sometimes two per 12-hour police shift, MacDonald said.

A turf war between drug dealers is believed to be at the heart of the crime.

“This is a dispute between two rival gangs selling cocaine,” MacDonald said.

Tsilhqot’in National Government Chief Joe Alphonse, whose own

community has strong ties to one of the gangs, agrees that if police take care of the drug dealers, they will take care of much of the crime.

“But it’s going to take all of us to make that happen,” Alphonse said Wednesday. “There just seems to be a never-ending supply of drugs.”

While Alphonse’s community and many others like it in the area continue to struggle with extreme poverty and often overwhelming challenges

AN APPLE A DAY...

Fertility Awareness Week was held last

May. It was a week for governments, patients and families to reflect on the challenges that many people face to have children. The technology to improve the chances of conception have improved immensely during the past decade but still some couples have problems. It can be a sad and lonely time. For help and support, try this website: fertilitymatters.ca There are links to many resources to help couples feel not so alone.

It’s good to be aware of any changes in the appearance of any part of your body. This applies to moles and other skin blemishes, feet (especially important for diabetics) and breasts. In the case of breast changes, watch for lumps, size and shape changes of the breast or nipples as well as any abnormal discharges. Share any body changes with your doctor.

The mid-day nap is a common cultural phenomenon in countries like Spain and Mexico. But a daytime nap can be good for you, too. It can help lower your blood pressure which in turn can reduce your risk of heart attack. Not everyone can insert a daily siesta into their life but if you can, give it a try.

The World Health Organization announced that we are a step closer to the total eradication of polio. The WHO has removed Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is still a threat. It has been a year without any cases of polio. When the country goes for three years, it can be declared polio free.

recent gang problems and are working together against it.

“As long as we keep talking and standing beside each other as leaders and set an example, then we are doing the right thing.”

He is also hoping the local police will work closely with First Nations leaders when dealing with prolific offenders.

“These offenders know the system and they know how to get around it. If we are working together maybe there will be more accountability” MacDonald seems to have taken that message to heart and just this week arranged to have an officer, area chief and community elder meet with an offender scheduled to be released from jail to welcome them back, and also set out expectations for the individual upon returning to the community.

TIPS FROM THE CRD

Carbon Monoxide Safety

Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide.

• • • • • •

•

• • •

CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height.

Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.

Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds.

Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries. If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department.

If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel.

If you need to warm a vehicle, remove it from the garage immediately after starting it. Do not run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not covered with snow.

During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace are clear of snow build-up.

A generator should be used in a well-ventilated location outdoors away from windows, doors and vent openings.

Gas or charcoal grills can produce CO — only use outside.

Councillor fights propane fee Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

F O R D

Williams Lake city councillor Scott Nelson is broiling over the BC Safety Council’s proposed commercial and industrial propane tank permit fee.

“It is a multi-million dollar tax grab and attack on rural British Columbians,” said Nelson, who owns Best Buy Propane in the lakecity.

BCSA is proposing a $27 annual fee for tanks 80 to 999 gallons and $38 for tanks between 1,000 to 1,999 gallons, effective Feb. 1, 2016.

Homeowners using propane tanks for residential use are exempt from paying the fees.

“They’ve used the gun registry as a template,” Nelson said.

As he picked up a stack of propane container report forms his company has been submitting to BCSA for the last nine years, he suggested the industry is already making sure propane tank information is being managed.

BCSA’s director of stakeholder engagement Quinn Newcomb

emphasized Thursday the permit fee is not a tax grab.

“We are an independent not-for-profit organization in the province that oversees the safe installation and operation of seven different technologies,” Newcomb said. “Gas and propane vessels are two of those.”

As a not-for-profit they run a balanced budget, and any fees for permits go directly to administer the BCSA’s safety system that oversees those technical systems.

The fees go to help pay for safety officer inspections, administering permit applications, eduction programs and enforcement action they may need to take when equipment may pose a hazard.

Since 2004, propane pressure vessels over 80 gallons have required a permit in B.C. “There has been a fee required for operating permits but back in June we clarified we were going to be more stringent “ Newcomb said, noting the fee collecting has been put on hold for now.

Nelson admitted he

BIA won’t organize 2016 Stampede Street Party The Stampede Street Party will no longer be organized by the Williams Lake BIA. In a letter dated Dec. 29, 2015, informing city council they wished to amend the Fee-for-Service Agreement with the city that stipulated they

organize the street party, WLCBIA chairperson Angie Delainey said survey and word-ofmouth feedback from BIA membership indicated the street party is not beneficial to downtown business and property owners.

In a press release issued Thursday, the BIA said it hopes the city will find another group interested in organizing the street party.

City council received the service agreement amendment Tuesday at its regular meeting.

had an inclination the fees were coming, but said he thought industry was still in negotiation with the BCSC. A chart provided by the BCSC also shows that the permit fees will increase each year. Nelson said that will be hard for businesses such as resorts with several tanks on their properties.

Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett has been working steadily with the Canadian Propane Association since 2012.

“On March 18, 2015 Scott Nelson contacted me with concerns about the proposed fees,” Barnett said.

“I know the tanks are continuing to be filled for now, but on a personal level I don’t agree with the fees either.”

Economy the focus of new project Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Mike McDonough, president of the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin (left), Miriam Schilling and Xat’sull First Nation community economic development co-ordinator chat with Marleen Morris, co-director of the Community Development Institute UNBC Wednesday at city hall during the launch of Growing Our Future, the Williams Lake Economic Development Plan.

An economic development project launched in Williams Lake Wednesday is not meant to reinvent the wheel.

“We’re here to work with individuals and organizations to find out what’s unique to this area and how to help make things happen,” said Marleen Morris, co-director of the Community Development Institute at UNBC who is partnering with the Williams Lake Economic Corporation on the project.

Morris and her assistant Marli Bodhi,

a master’s student at UNBC, began meeting with people on Monday in Williams Lake and said so far they’ve heard some great ideas.

“The Cariboo has assets to build upon to diversify the economy even further, whether that’s in agriculture, tourism, or meeting the needs of an aging population to attract more people to retire here,” Morris said.

Bhodi said they want to hear from locals about niches in the Williams Lake area.

It is anticipated the project will last six to eight months.

The first stage will see meetings with in-

dividuals and organizations. In the second stage, the project will proceed to small workshops resulting in concrete action.

“Our mandate is to collaborate and partner with people in the community to help make changes,” Morris said.

Funding for the project has come from the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and the city’s newly revamped economic development corporation, Mayor Walt Cobb said.

“There have been a lot of reports done in the past but we want to pull it all together and focus on the is-

sues,” Cobb said, noting while the economic development corporation is funded by the city, it operates independently of city hall.

The Community Development Institute was founded at UNBC in 2004 and since that time has worked with more than 40 communities, Morris said.

“Our mandate is to help communities diversify their economies, strengthen their capacity and resilience so they are less vulnerable to global economic cycles.”

A. Homes that don’t show well don’t sell well either. This is especially true in a very competitive market. If there are an abundance of homes for sale in your community and yours shows poorly, you can be sure that this will have a profound effect on getting top dollar. You may even find that it leads to not even getting an offer.

Mosquito-borne virus threatens newborns Women who are pregnant are being advised not to travel to tropical countries in the Americas as the World Health Organization (WHO) holds emergency meetings to try to find ways to stop the transmission of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.

The virus, which only came to the attention of the WHO last year, is “spreading explosively” across the South and Central Americas and has recently been linked to significant birth defects in babies whose mothers were bitten by mosquitos carrying the virus during pregnancy.

“The level of alarm is extremely high, as is the level of uncertainty.

Questions abound. We need to get some answers quickly,” said Margaret Chan, director general of the WHO. Public health officials suspect there is a link between the virus and a rare brain defect called microcephaly in infants, as well as a nervous system syndrome known as Guillain-Barré that can lead to paralysis.

The WHO said the pathogen is spreading so fast it could in-

fect as many as three to four million people within 12 months.

Those numbers, coupled with the severity of possible health outcomes — from brain defects in children to paralysis in adults — make the situation urgent.

Brazil, which is preparing to host the world for the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games in six short months, is the epicentre of the crisis, where the country is dealing with more than 4,000 suspected cases of microcephaly in newborns linked to the Zika virus.

In a press release issued Thursday by SFU, Carl Lowenberger, a professor of entomology and parasitology and expert in mosquitoborne diseases, cautions that the Zika virus is a significant threat and impossible to completely avoid if travelling to Mexico, the Caribbean and South and Central America.

As a precaution, All-Ways Travel in Williams Lake strongly recommends that women not travel to these affected areas while pregnant as the risk is just too great.

Community bands together to make Winter Carnival happen What would happen to our community if we did not have volunteers?

If you take a look around the community at the organizations and groups that are in Williams Lake you will find many of the volunteers who make our city a better place.

The Chamber of Commerce, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary, the Scouts and Cadets, the Salvation Army, indeed these and all the groups in Williams Lake would not operate without volunteers.

You get super volunteers like

Bob McIntosh and those who may only do an hour or so a month.

They are all doing this city a

big service.

We would not be having a Winter Carnival this weekend if it were not for volunteers.

President Darrick Boyes of the Winter Carnival has given lots of his time organizing volunteers to help out at the many events.

A couple of years ago Darrick was lamenting there was no winter carnival and, after talking to many people who thought it was once again time we had one, he decided to take the bull by the horns and get going.

Last year’s event was a good

community affair, even if the weatherman didn’t give us enough snow. Different snow scene this go around.

There will be a Lions Club pancake breakfast and other food during the day and the many events that appeal to all ages. There will also be a chilli cook off. You can experience the First Nations culture and their teepee. There are so many events to take in. I like the snowman contest and the snow art.

Many volunteers are needed to put together this kind of community event.

Seventy-three businesses have also joined in helping make this second annual Williams Lake Winter Carnival a success.

I like the advertising for the carnival that states: “This event brought to you by the community.”

Take some time to visit the Winter Carnival and see for yourself how many volunteers are needed to make a go of this second annual event.

Gooood Volunteering!

Do balanced budgets really matter?

The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters.

The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson.

“The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says.

“Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams.

Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.”

The Conservative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008.

Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs.

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent.

Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure.

Harper ran the biggest deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing out auto makers and building lots of “shovel ready” infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries.

The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis.

France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product.

Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per

cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget.

(Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.)

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government.

He will spend the rest of the

campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up.

Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget.

In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus.

This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal

estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low.

Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have.

De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020.

The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals.

LONG GUN TRAINING IMPORTANT Gaeil Farrar photo

Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society’s Brianna van de Wijngaard took the long gun registry course provided by Barry and Judy Jenkins over the weekend along with about 20 other people. She took the course because she lives in a rural area and never knows when she will have to defend herself against a wild animal or humanely put down one of her animals that is injured.

Instructor Judy Jenkins is smiling just behind the vintage rifle Brianna is holding. Part of the training included getting to know and feel comfortable loading and unloading a variety of long guns. Some people took the course because they hunt while others took it in case they have to transport a long gun family heirloom.

Computers and ranching: high tech and old tech This week has been historic in the ranching and farming industry locally.

The first class of students came together this week and spent the week getting to know each other, some local ranching operations, and some of their instructor/facilitators. They met at the Thompson Rivers University (TRU), this campus in Williams Lake, where they will periodically come together if they are close and if not they will be connected via Skype, Bluebutton or some other media.

The learning strategy of the new Applied Sustainable Ranching (ASUR) program is to have students from ranches live on a ranch to learn applied skills and to connect to an online learning system

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

(at TRU this is called Moodle.)

Coming together face-to-face reinforces the online learning and maximizes the success and completion of the program.

A series of industry experts from

anywhere in the world will come to the program in person or via webinar (TV or computer screen) so that the best knowledge possible can be available to students and producers in the area.

Feb. 5 which is during the first week of the online study/learning course on sustainable enterprises, will see Dave Pratt, who offers a program on Ranching for Profit, give a one-day seminar in Williams Lake.

This will be open to the ranching/agriculture community and public for a small fee.

Ranching for Profit likes to nail the idea that ranching is a business, not just a way of life. The TRU ASUR program starts with equipping students to develop a business

strategy for their own family business or some business enterprise they would like to run.

Best efforts will be made to link and co-ordinate ongoing learning for agriculture producers with the speakers program run by the TRU program.

What better way to learn for students than to be mixed with a broad range of people in the ranching business locally?

It is the intention of the program to draw out local knowledge from the people who have it and use that to connect the formal on line learning by students with the real world.

Universities can’t really teach experience. They can, however, bring universal knowledge to stu-

dents at home.

Lesson number one for this program: continuing learning is a first step to being able to adjust to new realities as they emerge in the business environment.

There are 14 students registered for the first year: six from the Williams Lake and surrounding area, three from the 100 Mile area, one from Spences Bridge, One each from Quesnel, Kamloops, Whitehorse, and one from Massachusetts (has a ranch in Africa).

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.

Right now the weather is almost like break up! The weather this year has just been amazing for outdoor activities.

Winter Carnival features Spirit Carver Dean Gilpin-Ross Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer One of the special First Nations guests at the Winter Carnival in Boitanio Park this weekend will be Spirit Carver Dean Ross/Gilpin, a member of the Pioneer Log Homes’ international team of carvers featured in the Timber Kings, Carver Kings television shows.

Ross-Gilpin will be carving small sculptures that will be auctioned for charity.

“The pieces for charity purposes will be big enough to carry but not too big,” he says.

Pieces he creates are inspired by the individual pieces of wood presented to him.

“Each piece of wood has a different story,” Ross/Gilpin says.

“It’s all about the feeling of the piece, how it makes you feel when you view it,” Ross-Gil-

Ross-Gilpin has worked full time for Pioneer Log Homes for about 12 years starting out as a builder and soon finding that he had a gift for carving.

“I worked from the bottom up learning the trades as I went along,” Ross-Gilpin says.

He learned to carve by picking up and carving scraps of wood in his spare time, a natural evolution of his artistic talents which he says

Since becoming a referee a while back, I now have a special place in my heart for those who step out into this occupational hazard. I was sworn in as a ref for hockey, on a snowy day in late October unaware that the following irreversible laws of the universe were already in motion: 1. When you are Right, no one will Remember.

2. When you are Wrong, no one will Forget.

3. Officiating is like standing between two starving 4 year olds with one solitary ice cream cone.

4. When you were sworn in on opening day, this will not be the last swearing you will hear.

5. Your Eyesight, Good Looks, and Family History will often be called into Question.

During my short illustrious career as a referee I discovered that most dads want their kids to win far worse than the kids do. If given the choice between World Peace and cheering their child on to victory, most dads would ask if it’s a preseason or postseason game.

This is true in most sports

PARSONS PEN

BY JOHN NICOLSON and I am always heartened when I see people react the way they should. A friend of mine has a son who plays basketball. One unforgettable game with seconds left on the clock, he got the ball with his team trailing by one single point.

Moms held their breath, dads prayed for the first time since Easter, and Cory thrust the ball with every ounce of strength he had.

He completely missed the backboard hitting nothing but the wall behind. The parents shrieked in disbelief.

What moved me was what his dad did next. He ran to

his son, grabbed him and lifted him in the air in a warm embrace. Both Cory and his dad actually laughed.

Both of them knew what was most important. Cory had done his part and in the bigger scheme of things, the final score meant far less than the reality that Cory, and his team, had done their best.

Next time you go to a sporting event, think of ways you can encourage and build up the players and their coaches. Better yet—turn over a really big new leaf by going to the ref after the game and tell him how much you appreciated the fact that he or she did their best. Don’t worry, they will recover from the heart attack!

What memories bring a smile to your face? Yes, it’s those when that special person expressed to you how much they appreciate you or they celebrate something you have done.

Listen to a few words from the Good Book—The Bible— “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.”

I Thessalonians 5:11

Maple syrup candy a carnival treat Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Maple syrup candy making will be one of the sweet treats at the Williams Lake Winter Carnival coming up in Boitanio Parkthis weekend.

“It’s a pretty basic Canadian technique of heating the maple syrup to candy temperature,” says event organizer Deanna Phillips.

She says tables will be set up to hold snow or possibly blocks of ice with a skiff of snow on top.

The maple syrup is

heated up then allowed to cool for just a few moments on the snow before being rolled onto a popsicle stick.

“The result is maple taffy on a stick,” Phillips says. “Having grown up outside of B.C. I used to get to do this every year through school and absolutely loved it.

“I hope it will be a great addition to the Winter Carnival this year and that people who have not had the chance to try out this great Canadian treat enjoy it as much as I always did.”

She says the maple taffy will be supplied free for the public with all of the syrup being donated by the Sugar Shack at 70 Mile House and other materials such as propane, tubs for snow, baby wipes and the like donated by Hytest Timber Ltd. The Williams Lake Winter Carnival is coming up in Boitanio Park Saturday and Sunday Jan. 30 and 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

There will be all sorts of free activities for people to try from cross country skiing

and snow shoeing, to sledding, horsedrawn sleigh rides and more.

There will also be free skating in the Cariboo Memorial complex next door and a chilli cook-off for professionals and home cooks.

Skates, skis, and snowshoes will also be rented free of charge for children and adults who don’t own their own equipment. Phillips extends her appreciation to all the volunteers and businesses who are making the Winter Carnival possible.

Outstanding Agents.

Outstanding

Results.

For all the things that move you...

Marvin Louis Westwick lovingly remembered

Marvin Louis Westwick

Marvin Louis Westwick passed away peacefully on Nov. 17, 2015 after a stay in the Abbotsford hospital.

Born, June, 19, 1938 Marvin was the youngest of 10 children born to Louis and Myra Westwick of Williams Lake, B.C. Marvin’s parents were long-time ranchers so he grew up in the ranching industry.

He went to school in Williams Lake as a young child staying in town in a dormitory as many young kids

did then.

His dad had a sawmill so he drove truck hauling lumber for his dad when he was old enough. From there he hauled freight, cattle and just about anything else you could think of for companies such as Hodgson Freightways.

Marvin worked selling Internationals for Four Star Truck and Equipment. He later opened Marv’s Radiators in town across from the Elks Hall.

Everyone knew Marvin was always

a wheeler dealer and forever a good natured prankster.

Eventually he met his wife Marie (Timpany) in Williams Lake and they were married on Oct. 10, 1957.

The couple were very active in the Williams Lake Trail Riders club and Marvin was instrumental in the building of the arena at the time he was the president of the club for several years.

He was also a volunteer fireman with

the Williams Lake Fire Department.

Always a caring individual he would give the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it.

In 1970 the couple moved to Langley, B.C. where Marvin started working for Preston Chev Olds. He was awarded salesman of the year on more than one occasion.

Marvin will be sadly missed by his family, extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Louis and Myra,

Brenda Jelley leaves a legacy of love and kindness Brenda Mary Jelley was born Sept. 10, 1960 to Thomas and Marian Desmond.

Brenda was raised for the first nine years on a ranch on Dog Creek Road, then moved to her family’s permanent home, which is still located on Dog Creek Road.

Often times the family would pack up to travel with Tom, her dad, so he could work on cow camps.

During the times at cow camps, Brenda, Duffy and Reg spent time riding horses, berry picking, cow chasing, branding and on fishing excursions.

There was the odd mishap that would happen during their adventures as children together.

In 1967 the family moved to town to stay with Grandma Daisy, and Dan was born.

In 1969, Tom decided to purchase the Purjue Ranch on Dog Creek Road, where the family home is to this

Sadly, Brenda Jelley passed away on Jan. 6, 2016 leaving a loving legacy of family and friends.

Brenda so loved her little red convertible, Pontiac Solstice, that her husband, Rick, surprised her with for her 50th birthday.

they would have together.

They bought two homes together, one on Winger Road in 1983, and another at Tyee Lake in 1987.

They moved to Tyee Lake full time in December 2000.

On Sept. 1, 1984 Brenda and Rick were married with guests that numbered approximately 220 people.

In February 1989, Amanda, the first of two beautiful daughters was born. Sara was born two-and -half-years later in 1991. Her daughters were the joy of Brenda’s life.

Brenda lived her life to the fullest. She was an avid snowmobiler. Along with Rick, and many friends, she ripped around on many a mountain in the Cariboo region and Tyee Lake area.

In the summer she enjoyed quad rides, boat cruising, barbecues and theme dinners with both friends and family.

Annual girls’ weekends with her “besties” was something she looked forward to every year.

Brenda always wanted to travel to see new places.

Brenda and Rick would take her Pontiac Solstice and go on vacations with minimal luggage and have an outstanding time together.

They travelled internationally as well to places such as Brazil, Montana, Las Vegas, and Oregon to name a few.

Brenda became an avid runner in the five and 10 kilometre marathons. She enjoyed running immensely.

Not only did Brenda run locally, but on many runs she travelled to places such as Quesnel, Kamloops and Vancouver for causes that were close to her heart.

As we all know, Brenda had time for everyone.

A social butterfly, with golden wings is what she was. Everyone enjoyed the gatherings, visiting and the one-on-one times Brenda had with both family and friends.

As a family member Brenda loved her brothers so very much.

Each and every one of

them were very important to her.

Time with her extended Pinchbeck family; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins was always a highlight for Brenda.

It was important for her to stay connected to them.

The Jelley family’s lives are so very much richer for Brenda being a part of their lives.

She was our Bennie.

She will always be our sister.

Brenda and Rick have worked together since 1990 to build their business to the success that it is today.

Brenda was a wellknown business woman.

She was involved with many associations, one being the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce.

Brenda will be missed greatly by her husband Rick, daughters Amanda and Sara, brothers Duffy, Reg and Dan, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, sistersin-law, brothers-in-law and many friends.

We will miss you forever.

Anti-racism media campaign rolls out in February Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The network group working to stem racism in Williams Lake is planning to roll out its educational campaign in mid-February, says Margaret-Anne Enders, Canadian Mental Health Association multiculturalism co-ordinator.

Last fall CMHA received a grant of $10,000 from the B.C. Ministry of International Trade to form a community-based anti-racism networking group tasked solely with launching a media-based anti-racism awareness campaign.

So far the network includes 20 people, with representatives from the City of Williams Lake, Cariboo Regional District, First Nation and Indo-Canadian communities, Thompson Rivers University, School District 27, Safer Communities, Women’s Contact Society, the local multiculturalism group, plus other

Earlier this month Enders facilitated a brainstorming session with about a dozen of the network members and media representatives.

She says the committee is open to anyone who would like to contribute to the discussion and may have

ideas and stories to add to the educational campaign.

The committee would particularly like to hear from people who have experienced racism in order to gain a better understanding of their issues.

There is a proposal to post snippets of information about dif-

ferent aspects of racism on a weekly basis in local newspapers, radio and with all forms of visual and social media. The network committee is also brainstorming other ways to raise awareness about racism.

As discussed by those at the meeting, racism and its

relatives, bullying and stereotyping are complicated social issues often born of fear, ignorance and even innocence.

For instance children and teens often use the term “that’s so gay” to describe something that is stupid or lame, not realizing that it is actually a social slur against a certain group of people.

Each meeting the committee leaders start with a quote to inspire thought and discussion about the issue of racism.

The quote for this meeting came from the Australia Human Rights Commission, National Anti-Racism Strategy, July 2012.

“Racism can have serious consequences for the people who experience it. It can shatter their confidence and their sense of worth.

It can undermine their

ability to perform at work or in their studies. It can also affect their physical health and life expectancy.

More broadly, racism locks people out of social and economic opportunities, entrench-

ing disadvantage. it adds unnecessary costs to our workplaces and our economy and it works against our goal of building a fair, inclusive community.

Ultimately, racism hurts us all.”

“The excitement elevated as many of the students had not been over the Sheep Creek Bridge,” Livingston says. “One very proud student made sure everyone saw his grandmother’s home in Alexis Creek.”

The Elders, community members, teachers and students shared a delicious lunch of Indian Tacos.

The cultural exchange concluded with the Elders and community members singing and drumming and the students doing a friendship dance.

The drum was made by students at Alexis Creek School, including a pen pal participant David Hance who was responsible for scraping the hide.

Through formalized pen pal activities students from both schools were encouraged to form relationships.

“In a day and age of social media a hand-written letter is a special occasion,” Livingston says. “Our hope is when youth have these experiences early in life, they are more likely to develop an understanding and respect for diversity.”

She says it is also hoped that the exchange will help to form the foundations for respect and friendship when rural students attend secondary schools in Williams Lake with their urban counterparts.

Members of the Williams Lake Powder Kings Snowmobile Club will welcome riders participating in the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation’s 50th Anniversar y Commemorative Ride on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at the Yank’s Peak riding area.

Last year the club got together for a fun day of races, as seen pictured here at the Yank’s Peak safety cabin.

Snowmobilers celebrating 50 years Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA and longtime snowmobiling advocate Donna Barnett is thrilled to be celebrating 50 years of organized snowmobiling in the province this year.

Next week, the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation is hosting a commemorative ride along the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail from Kamloops to Wells/Barkerville from Jan. 31 to Feb. 8 to celebrate half a century of operation, including a stop at Horsefly and Yank’s Peak.

“Fifty years for the BCSF is an attribute to the federation and to the volunteers that have been participating,” said Barnett who, with her late husband, Jack, were catalysts in the construction of the GRST. “The snowmobile community has always been a close-knit family, caring about the environment, worrying about wildlife and doing what they can to enjoy [the sport.]”

Barnett worked with her husband for 46 years on various snowmobile projects. They started a skidoo

business in 93 Mile in 1968.

“We were involved in the first big races in the Cariboo,” she said. “We were there and helped build the 100 Mile snowmobile track, my husband was the president of the BCSF and I’m still an advocate for the snowmobilers of B.C.” Roughly 25 riders will leave Kamloops on Jan. 31 and the Kamloops Snowmobile Club will guide them to Moose Lake, southeast of 70 Mile House.

The first section of the GRST spans from 70 Mile House to eight kilometres south of Horsefly.

Once at Moose Lake, riders will join members of the Green Lake Snowmobile Club who will guide them along its trails to the clubhouse, where they will be guests of honour at a dinner provided by club members.

From there, riders will travel on the GRST to the clubhouse of the 100 Mile House Snowmobile Club and tour some of their trails.

On Feb. 2 the group will ride to Ten-ee-ah Lodge through Horsefly and onto Likely, where a tailgate meeting takes place at 8

Productive year for Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association outgoing president Al Bush said the past year was a productive one for the club.

From clubhouse renovations to multiple successful archery and gun shoots, things have been eventful, he said.

“The roof and gutters [of the clubhouse] were replaced, as well as the outside doors, which will hopefully help cut down on fuel costs,” Bush said.

“We had new flooring installed in the washrooms as it was

needed.”

He said the WLSA also hosted fun gun and archery shoots.

“The archers held some very fun shoots,” Bush said. “Al Campsall is leading the charge and is not only a leader on the score sheets but he coaches and mentors the Junior Olympic Archery Program.”

The International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) qualifer — an event where RCMP, the B.C. Sherrif Service, club members and conservation officers compete against one another — was also extremely successful, he said.

“[It] blew away the competitors with the organization and quality layout,” he said, noting competitors promised to come back.

The WLSA also hosted sporting clay shoots throughout the year.

On the executive end of things, Bush noted there were some changes.

“We’ve been looking at our club’s constitution and the executive has decided to update to a more complete version to help us go forward as a larger club,” he said. “We’re looking to finally build an office in the base-

Additionally, the WLSA hopes to construct a benchrest pellet shooting club in the basement.

“We’re looking forward to being able to shoot indoors for the winter,” he said.

The club’s annual general meeting was held Jan. 18, where Bush said his farewells and thanked the executive for its hard work.

A new executive was elected where Kane Fraser was announced as the WLSA’s new president.

“I’d like to thank everyone for all of the support and help this last year,” he said. “It’s been an honour and very satisfying to see the club work together for the club and community.”

Lake City Secondary School Grade 7 student Kylee Lafleur gets some pointers from Williams Lake Curling Club member Michelle Ball Wednesday morning during a school trip to the club. LCSS teacher Mike Wilson said it’s a fun way to get outside the school for an opportunity for his students to try something new. The class spent four sessions curling at the WLCC.

Bantam T-wolves to host tourney this weekend Eight teams will converge in Williams Lake this weekend when the Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves host their home tournament.

Teams from Smithers, Chilliwack, Terrace, Fort St. John, Prince George, Quesnel and Vanderhoof will join Williams Lake at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for the tournament from Friday, Jan. 29 to Sunday, Jan. 31.

Williams Lake is coming off a thirdplace finish at a tournament in Prince George two weekends ago and a twogame sweep of Quesnel last weekend, and will meet Smithers in its first game of the tournament at 4:45 p.m. on Friday.

They’ll then take on Terrace Saturday morning at 8:15 a.m., before battling Chilliwack later in the afternoon at 3 p.m. to cap off the team’s round robin games.

The other fourteam pool will see Fort St. John, Prince George, Quesnel and Vanderhoof square off.

Depending on the outcome teams will be seeded into semifinal matchups on Sunday at 6:15 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. The tournament final is slated for 12:30 p.m. in rink one at the

CMRC. Following the tournament the Timberwolves will look to clinch home-ice advantage in the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association playoffs when they travel to

MYBESTFRIEND

Prince George for two games on Saturday, Feb. 6. The T-

wolves need one win to secure home-ice advantage.

Archers dominate in Vanderhoof Water Factory on top of Super League of Curling Close to 100 archers from the region — including Cariboo Archers from Williams Lake, and competitors from Smithers and Chetwynd — aimed and shot on Vanderhoof ’s Nechako Valley Exhibition Grounds on Jan. 23-24.

Featuring threedimensional animal targets in mid-leap or flight, the annual competition is one of

the region’s annual shooting events hosted by various cities throughout winter for archers of all ages, levels, as well as bow types — composite or classic, for example, explained event organizer Richard Wheeler.

The Cariboo Archers sent three members to the shoot: Fred Streleoff, Ernie Schmid and Al Campsall.

Campsall came out on top in the compound division, while Streleoff dominated in recurve and Schmid brought home gold in master’s compound.

Streleoff finished with the top score of all traditional archers, while Schmid was second.

Outdoor shooting targets with variable terrain will start during spring, where

the Cariboo Archers host an outdoor 3D shoot.

With some competitors coming as families — grandfather shooting with daughter and grandson — the event provided an affordable way for multigenerations to spend a weekend together, and for archers to improve themselves based on individual scores.

Water Factory (11-2) continues to dominate in the Williams Lake Super League of Curling.

The rink of Simone Groundwater, Ryan Bailey, Laura Ball and Robert Gudbranson took an early 4-1 lead over the Credit Union (Ron Bisaro, Scott Cameron, Cindy Brady and John Hoyrup — 4-9), before they answered back with two in the fourth to get

within a point. Water Factory kept its composure, however, hanging on to the one-point lead before taking four in the seventh to win 10-5.

In the week’s other game PMT Chartered Accountants (Brian Purdy, Mark Berg, John Dryden and Bert Cons — 4-9) got off to a hot start scoring five in the first, but Save-On-Foods (Ken Teskey, Mark Law,

Rick Formo and Ken Kvist — 7-6) chipped into the lead with three points in the fourth end, and another three in the eighth to tie the game.

The Teskey rink then took one in the extra end to win 9-8. The Groundwater rink also recently won a mixed bonspiel in Prince George and will represent the north zone at the provincial championships.

the

Fit City Athletica hosting Body Transformation Challenge Fit City Athletica owner Chantelle Hopkins has seen the difference her fitness centre’s annual Body Transformation Challenge can make.

“It’s been unreal,” Hopkins said. “The changes you see, every person is so different. Some people lose weight, some people gain muscle — there’s a winner in the judge’s eyes but everyone who completes the transformation is a winner. It’s amazing to see everyone’s results and see how

happy they are at the end of it.”

The Body Transformation Challenge is a 90-day program and includes a three-month gym membership, two training sessions including meal plans and workout plans with personal trainer Kim Colgate, a T-shirt and 30 per cent off all supplements.

Participants can register any time from now until March 31 to begin their challenge period.

“They’ll do before and after photos, there’s a booklet of about 10

Cariboo Chiropractic + Medical

WELCOMES

Nathan & Kayla Walters to their clinic as Registered Massage Therapists.

questions they’ll answer and write about their personal journey, weight, measurements, body fat index and their struggles and achievements,” Hopkins said.

Having Colgate on board for the challenge is a massive asset for participants, she noted.

“Kim will give a workout plan that suits their needs to get started, then we recommend to have the second session about halfway through the program to go over how that person is doing,” she said.

Fit City Athletica features a full-service gym that offers a diverse range of fitness equipment members can access 24 hours per day, seven days per week.

The challenge costs $199 to register and features a $1,000 travel voucher for the first-place winner. Second place will win a six-month gym membership, while the third-place winner will receive a three-month gym membership.

Buchanan, Margaret Rita (Peggy) nee May July 22, 1930 - January 20, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother.

Peggy was born and raised in Vancouver and married Harry Buchanan there in 1949. In 1957 they moved to Williams Lake with their 4 children where they greatly contributed to building the community where they would live their lives. Throughout the years Peggy volunteered on many, many committees and boards - the Williams Lake Public Library, the United Church, Boy Scouts, Figure Skating Club and Minor Hockey, to name just a few. She started ‘Crackpots’ ceramics with her dear friend Elsie Sharun, and for many years held classes in her basement, where it was more about friendships than about clay. In recent years Peggy enjoyed volunteering at the Senior’s Activity Centre. She spent much of her time taking care of family and friends - her joy in life was caring for others.

Peggy was predeceased by her husband Harry in 2003, her father Ernest May and mother Elsie May. She is survived by her sons Doug (Linda) and Donald, and daughters Gail (Don) Stanchfield and Jill Buchanan, her 5 grandchildren Jody Buchanan (Bill), Regan Stanchfield, Ben Stanchfield, Eric (Megan) Simmons and Wade (Kelly) Simmons, her 9 great grandchildren Brendan, Allanah, Tessa, Emma, Joe, Taylor, Mason, Jackson and Nathan, and her brother, Jim (Alden) May. The world is a better place because of Mom and she will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC SPCA. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date.
