Family Day Monday is a great opportunity for families in Williams Lake to share some time together, whether it be just hanging out watching movies, sharing a meal, or enjoying some recreational activities.

In honour of Family Day the City of Williams Lake is offering several free activities at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

There will be free skating on rink one from noon to 1:30 p.m. featuring lasers, music and lots of fun for all ages. The concession will be open and free skate rentals are available.

Anahim Lake trial eyed Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Suspects charged in the Anahim Lake 2014 Boxing Day murders will go directly to trial.

That was the decision made last week in Williams Lake Provincial Court as lawyers for the accused and Crown counsel held a teleconference Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Originally a preliminary inquiry was scheduled to begin Monday, Feb. 29 in Williams Lake, however, that date will instead be used to fix a date for a Supreme Court trial, confirmed Neil MacK-

www.wltribune.com A3

enzie, communications counsel with the criminal justice branch.

The charges stem from the shooting deaths of 23-year-old Matthew Hennigar and his friend, Kalvin Andy, 22, on Dec. 26, 2014 in Anahim Lake, located 325 kilometers west of Williams Lake.

Andy, who was from Bella Coola, was visiting Hennigar and his wife and one-year-old son at their home in the 2100 block of Dorsey Road in Anahim Lake.

At the time, RCMP said they were called to the home after shots were fired just before midnight. When they

arrived police found the two men already deceased.

Later that day the RCMP announced they had made arrests in connection with the shootings.

Everett O’Reilly is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Charged with two counts of second-degree murder are Serena Rhem, Andrew Jongbloets, and Christian Craciun. The four, all under the age of 30, remain in custody.

A publication ban remains on the evidence presented to the court about the charges.

Northern Shuswap communities to vote on treaty process next week Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Next week four Northern Shuswap communities will vote on whether they should proceed from stage four to stage five in the BC Treaty process.

Five polling stations will be open on Feb. 11

from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Canim Lake Indian Band (Tsq’escen’), Williams Lake Indian Band (T’exelc), Soda Creek Indian Band (Xats’ull) and Stswecem’c/ Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek /Dog Creek Indian Bands).

“Normally it’s just leadership that decides,

but by holding a vote we will know whether we have a mandate from our people to proceed,” said NSTC board chair and Soda Creek Chief Donna Dixon. “We have been telling our members that this is about using their voice, to express their choice about their future — it’s

critical that they turn out to vote.”

And if the vote fails, it will mean that everyone will reflect and go back to the working table, she added.

In the agreement-inprinciple stage of treaty, communities map out and finalize many of the topics that will be

included in the final treaty, such as things like lands, governance, taxes and process.

If communities agree to move forward into stage five (final negotiations), another vote would be held once final negotiations are completed — before entering stage six, which is

the ‘implementation’ of the final treaty and all the changes and benefits that come with it.

Dixon is excited the Northern Shuswap have come this far in the treaty process.

“It will give us the ability to govern ourselves and make our own decisions,” she said.

“It’s great to be moving into an area where we will have a say. We’ve always taken direction from someone else, such as Indian Affairs.”

A treaty will also recognize the Northern Shuswap as its own level of government when interacting with other governments.

In Australia, researchers are using smartphone texting as a way of helping people reduce their cholesterol, blood pressure and weight. Participants received four texts per week for six months. The texts contained motivational information on exercise and diet...like “Don’t forget, physical activity is good for you!”. Results measured after 6 months showed that those receiving the texts all reduced the three measurements significantly.

One of the most significant advances in medicine over the past decade has been the development of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. The German virologist, Harald zur Hausen won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2006 for that discovery. It is the first anti-cancer vaccine and could prevent up to 90% of cases of cervical cancer.

Thieves make off with bottles Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A bottle-collecting program aimed at helping adults with intellectual disabilities has been pilfered by thieves in recent weeks.

People have been stealing bottles from local transfer stations where residents have donated bottles to the Williams Lake Association Community Living, said 150 Mile House Transfer Station attendant Rick Roy. When Roy arrived for work Monday morning he could see a trail of footprints leading from the station where thieves had gone into the locked compound and taken bags of bottles from inside .

“We usually get quite a bit of bottles dropped off on Sundays, Roy said. “I know people have bro-

ken into the Williams Lake station and taken things from there too.”

Tammy Fisher is the manager of community living’s employment program and said 12 to 15 people benefit from the bottle collecting.

The program has been in place for a number of years and is growing, she said.

“We collect throughout the whole community, including the transfer stations,” Fisher said. “The community has been great and many business owners support us very generously.”

On average the program receives $500 to $1,000 a month from collecting the bottles.

“Our adults really look forward to sorting them at Amanda Enterprises and then every two weeks they get a pay cheque for collecting the bottles,” Fisher said.

Rural women to benefit from screening Women in rural and remote areas, such as Soda Creek First Nation, will have access to breast cancer screening in their own communities.

This week the BC Cancer Agency launched two new

digital screening mammography vehicles destined for communities from Maple Ridge to Merritt and Osoyoos to Soda Creek.

“These large, comfortable coaches feature the latest technology and pro-

vide access to breast cancer screening for B.C. women in remote and rural communities,” the BC Health Authority said in a press release.

The BC Cancer Agency mobile mammography ser-

vice is the first of its kind in Canada to use wireless cellular data to send the images through a secure VPN tunnel from the mobile unit to the reading centre, ensuring greater efficiency of the service.

Eligible women can use the clinic locator at www.screeningbc.ca/breast to either find a yearround fixed location near them, or view the schedule for the mobile mammography service in their area.

RCMP hope to identify suspect in theft from vehicle RCMP are requesting the assistance of the public to possibly identify the suspect in a theft from a vehicle.

In June of 2015, an unknown suspect ille-

gally entered a vehicle and removed a number of items.

The homeowner had a video camera operational and provided it to police.

If anyone has information regarding the suspect’s identity, they are requested to call the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-392 6211 or Crime stop-

NHL hits back with suspension Score one for the National Hockey League.

On Tuesday the NHL dished out a 20-game suspension to Calgary Flames defenceman Dennis Wideman for cross-checking linesman Don Henderson from behind during a game on Jan. 27.

Wideman will forfeit just under $600,000 U.S. in salary if the decision is not overturned in an appeal filed by the NHL Players’ Association Wednesday.

Hockey fans taking in the game between the Nashville Predators and Calgary Flames were shocked to witness Wideman hit the ref in the second period of the game, knocking him to the ground.

To be fair, moments earlier Wideman had taken a hard hit into the boards but for anyone who has reviewed the video footage Wideman’s denial of any wrongdoing is ridiculous.

It’s obvious Wideman went out of his way to hit the ref.

The NHL rulebook states: “any

player who deliberately strikes an official and causes injury or who deliberately applies physical force in any manner against an official with intent to injure, or who in any manner attempts to injure an official shall be automatically suspended for not less than 20 games.

“For the purpose of the rule, ‘intent to injure’ shall mean any physical force which a player knew or should have known could reasonably be expected to cause injury.”

Wideman has played in the NHL for 11 seasons and, as an NHL player, is a role model for all youth playing the sport.

Let’s face it, all hockey associations struggle with retaining refs due to all the verbal abuse they have to take on the ice from the players, parents, fans and coaches.

Now they’re going to even have to watch their backs for hits from behind? I don’t think so.

Lily Kika, almost four year old, shows off a prized white pebble she spied on the sidewalk in downtown Williams Lake Thursday.

Sustainable practices proven to be profitable Words like: “perrenial polyculture,” “regenerative agriculture” and “permaculture” all evoke a sense of doing things differently, or new techniques in the farming world.

But, really, they mean mimicking nature in order to restore an original better state.

That state or condition really is a healthy soil beneath whatever is growing on the surface of the land. Need I add that healthy soil means healthy plants and animals and healthy people.

Constant tilling of the land has for some cultures and regions built soil. A friend who grew up in Holland speaks of he fact that there was no topsoil after the seawater was removed from behind the dikes.

But careful tilling in of crop residue and planting green manure crops and plowing them in actually creating top soil six feet deep.

the

weekend

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

They plowed three-feet deep, and then plowed the next three thus creating the six feet of soil over a long time. Ultimately how sustainable this situation is I don’t know but if carefully replenished, probably a good long time.

The classic story of sustainability in farming, written by an American soil scientist who visited China, was Farmers of 40 Cen-

turies; or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea, and Japan (1911).

That is 4,000 years of sustainability in food production.

Of course all this is threatened by population explosion and the availability of “modern technology and chemicals.”

We can only hope that the “Soil Health” movement can present its case to farmers the world over.

Sustainability practices have been shown to be profitable for farmers. I think here about a major study of organic farming done

by Cornell University a few years ago.

A speaker very much in demand on the soil health topic is Gabe Brown who farms 5000 acres in North Dakota. His name is synonymous with “cover cropping” his style. Gabe farms grain crops and grass crops and has 350 mother cows and grazes twice that number of yearlings.

He says soil health and plant diversity go hand in hand. He keeps the ground covered at all times.

He often seeds as many as 25-35 species of four main plant categories: broad leaf and grass, both warm season and cool season.

He maintains that even 15 species will speed up biological time by 15 years in only one year.

That won’t work here a little further north you might say.

Gabe Brown’s response is that no cookie cutter approach exists.

You just have to just try adapting the concept to your area.

He says: “the greatest roadblock to solving a problem is the human mind.” The problem being the reduction of natural (sustainable) fertility in soil, often measured by the percentage of organic matter in the soil. As soil is used, it can lose this black carbon.

Each one per cent increase in organic matter helps soil hold

20,000 U.S. gallons of water per acre. Drought is therefore resisted.

According to Brown, tillage (plowing, disking etc.) destroys carbon, soil life, structure, infiltration and water holding capacity.

He prefers to seed directly into existing crops and perennial pastures with a no-till seeder to approximate nature’s original diversity of up to 140 species on the Prairie grasslands.

I would love to have him here to give us some ideas about building fertility into our soils without reducing their health. Ideas anyone?

Urban drug ghettos aren’t working Communities around B.C. are struggling to cope with the continued influx of what politicians call “homelessness,” a term that suggests the problem can be solved merely by providing more homes.

Taxpaying citizens see the daily reality behind the soothing euphemisms — mainly transients squatting in parks and “tent cities” blighted by drug abuse and crime, and “homeless” shelters that fill up as soon as they open.

They worry that the continued costly supply of supports only invites more arrivals, particularly in the gentle climate of southwestern B.C. Their worries are well founded.

In Abbotsford, a 40-bed “temporary weather shelter” made from industrial camp trailers opened in December with a $450,000 operating grant from B.C. Housing.

It was full in 10 days. Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich told city council in January that his bike officers don’t recognize most of the shelter occupants from their constant patrols of local tent camps, the largest of which has been on a city-owned roadside site since 2013.

In Maple Ridge, a “low barrier harm reduction” shelter was opened last fall in response to a growing tent camp and accompanying drug dealing, prostitution and petty crime.

One resident noted bitterly that a mayor’s task force had identified 42 unsheltered homeless people, then found places for 77 from the camp, 40 from a closing

“temporary” shelter and 40 in a new shelter. “How exactly does one house 157 out of 42?” she asked.

Victoria’s camping population has gathered in an Occupy-style squat on provincial land next to the courthouse, after years of uncontrolled camping in Beacon Hill and other city parks.

The city opened a shelter in a vacant Boys and Girls Club gym, complete with new indoor tents. By the time that was full, the courthouse camp was bigger than ever, with some occupants describing how they came to town for the opportunity. One said Vancouver Police gave her a bus ticket to Victoria.

The latest plan by a local agency that runs Victoria shelters is to convert an old, empty seniors’ care home into a 101-bed permanent housing facility.

This would also be “low barrier,” a euphemism for allowing drug and alcohol consumption in the rooms.

The city has come up with

around $1 million for this project, in a residential area next to a school, but it still needs millions more to renovate and run it.

This would presumably come from B.C. taxpayers via our social housing czar, deputy premier Rich Coleman.

Coleman pioneered this “housing first” experiment in 2007, buying up 13 century-old “singleroom occupancy” hotels in Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside.

These crumbling bedbug habitats were bought and renovated for a staggering $143 million, plus a 15-year maintenance com-

mitment and a cop assigned to each one in an effort to contain the chaos inside.

Coleman brags endlessly about the great job he has done, but how is that actually working? A new study by Simon Fraser University researchers provides a more objective assessment.

Tracking 433 mentally ill homeless adults over 10 years, the study found the concentration of low-rent accommodation, food handouts, street outreach and medical supports resulted in “significant personal decline rather than recovery, as evidenced by their involvement in the criminal

justice system, large increases in acute care and prolonged homelessness.”

The rate of people arriving in this service-intensive hellhole has tripled in the last 10 years, a finding similar to studies of concentrated services in New York, Sao Paulo and Osaka.

It’s a cautionary tale for other urban communities where this failed containment model is proposed.

CARNIVAL FUN

Using roadside logging debris at Atlantic Power plant Will it be profitable to bring roadside logging debris to the Atlantic Power plant?

The following information is in the Atlantic Power Corporation (APC) information paper when they responded to the question of using roadside logging debris (RLD) instead or rail ties.

“Previous attempts to use RLD were not economically feasible and were discontinued in consultation with BC Hydro as it resulted in high electricity production costs.

However, by installing the new rail tie processing and shredding equipment, it will enable us to take unprocessed RLD where currently we cannot. This will allow a supplier to collect and deliver RLD to us without the supplier having to invest

Forest Ink Jim Hilton in processing equipment. There is room for both rail ties and RLD in our fuel mix, and by investing in the equipment needed to process rail ties, we will also improve the economic viability of RLD’s use as fuel in the plant.”

It sounds like the only thing that was preventing the RLD from being brought to the plant was the chipping costs on the logging site and possibly the difficulty of using

chip trucks on the same roads as the logging trucks.

Unfortunately, I think it is more complicated than that i.e. haul distance and price paid for the RLD will be a major factors.

The RLD fibre would be more expensive since APC would need to cover some harvesting, hauling and processing (shredding) costs at the plant.

I am pleased to see APC is at least considering the use of RLD but if I was one of the potential suppliers I would want a lot more specific information.

For example, will APC be offering something similar to what the harvesting and trucking costs that companies have been getting for delivering logs to the lumber mills.

The price will no doubt be relative to what APC pays for existing and future fibre (i.e. hog fuel from the mills and rail ties they want to use).

It is my understanding that the hog fuel consists of bark (which goes to APC) along with sawdust and shavings which goes to the Pinacle Pellet plant. Both companies pay a modest amount for this fibre which is close to the form it is needed and the hauling costs are minimal.

The use of railroad ties would likely be slightly more expensive than hog fuel but much less than the RLD costs.

In another article about the potential of burning rail road ties in a small gasification plant in Kamloops the railroad company was

going to deliver the rail ties for free plus pay a tipping fee. In other words the RLD supplier would have to log and haul the pulp logs for free and pay APC to take them once delivered to the plant. Doesn’t sound like a profitable venture.

The only time RLD would be considered is when the hog fuel and railroad ties were limited.

The question to be considered is what is a reasonable profit margin which will minimize loss of jobs for displaced forestry workers?

Pharis and Jason Romero nominated for a JUNO Jason and Pharis Romero, of Horsefly are thrilled to see their 2015 album A Wanderer I’ll Stay nominated for a JUNO Award.

“It was a nice surprise,” said Jason Wednesday evening from their home in Horsefly.

A Wanderer I’ll Stay is one of five albums nominated in the Traditional Roots Album of the Year category.

With instrumental guests on fiddle, bass, pedal steel and even drums, the album was recorded by David-Travers-Smith at the Romeros’ home in Horsefly.

A Wanderer I’ll Stay is the latest in a string of critically acclaimed, awardwinning albums from the Romeros and was also nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards, while the title track was 2015’s number one most-played song on the Folk-DJ charts.

Doctor recruitment videos launched for Cariboo Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A new series of recruitment videos aimed at attracting medical doctors to Williams Lake, 100

Mile House and the Chilcotin are gaining traction daily.

“We started off wanting to make two videos but the project’s involved into something bigger,”

said Laurie Walters, recruitment retention co-ordinator with the Central Interior Rural Family Division (CIRFD).

As they embarked on the project, the

team at CIRFD did some research and sought input from local physicians to create the videos.

“The videos are really testimonialbased,” Walters

said.

Themes for the five videos include working in Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, what it’s like to be a doctor in the Chilcotin.

Everyone in the videos emphasize they aren’t wasting time in traffic and have easy access to the outdoors.

A similar video has been created

for 100 Mile House, with the third and fourth videos encouraging doctors to come to the area as locums or medical students to do residencies.

It was such a typical scenario; we should have expected it. My wife and I were travelling home from a conference and had to catch a connecting flight. It had been a great few days, but we were tired and ready to get home. As we walked to our gate we were greeted by the evidence of big renovations the airport was making in its terminal.

Seating space had been condensed to make room for the construction, and we no sooner sat down in the cramped waiting area than the intercom announced that our plane would be late. It was a roomful of oilfield workers, over-tanned vacationers, and the two of us. All of us grimaced and began to mumble.

How long would we have to wait?

Waiting drains us, but why? It’s not like we’re even doing anything most of the time we have to wait.

We’re just sitting there waiting.

Syrian refugees are trying to stay alive while they wait. The Hebrews were in slavery for 400 years while they waited. My biggest conundrum was to decide if I needed to find a bathroom before we boarded. In other words, my waiting wasn’t painful; I just didn’t want to be there.

Waiting drains us because we aren’t yet where we hope to be. The book of Proverbs tells us that “hope deferred makes the heart sick.” We only have so much emotional energy, and if we are steadily being drained of it, we end up empty. It can end in the condition of despair: “This is as good as it gets.”

But waiting can be a good thing.

PARSONS PEN

BY Chris harder The bible is full of examples of people learning to wait on God. Noah, for example, built the ark, waited for the animals to show up, and then… they waited! With all their preparations made to ride out the storm, they had to sit in the ark for seven days before the rain started. Talk about a travel delay! Their neighbours must have wondered, “Why on earth did they shut themselves up in that barn all week? And why does their barn look like a boat?”

Yet Noah and his family were right where they were supposed to be: in a place of trust.

Waiting can drain us, but when we know who to trust, waiting can actually be good for us. Waiting teaches us maturity. Waiting makes the payoff a bigger joy when it arrives.

That conference we went to? We were disappointed that we couldn’t go earlier, yet waiting a few months meant we had time to recruit a team, so 8 people took part in the event rather than just the two of us (they were on a different flight). Sharing the experience helped create a bond that was SO worth waiting for.

Waiting for someone who eventually comes through for us can create a stronger relationship with that person. It just doesn’t always feel like it in the moment.

I love the way the bible honestly addresses both the ache of waiting, and the joy of hope when it comes to our times of waiting for God. Listen to the desperate longing in this verse: “My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.” (Psalm 130:6) Yet the bible writers waited with the full expectation that God would come through for them when the time was right: “I wait for you, O Lord; you will answer, O Lord my God.” (Psalm 38:15) The prophet Isaiah makes this conclusion: “the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” (Isaiah 30:18) I hate to wait, and I’ll bet you do, too. But maybe nothing has grown me more than times I’ve had to wait for what I wanted. We can be certain of this: God WILL come through for those who put their hope in him. Trust him and your hope is not wasted.

MUSICAL CABARET IN REHEARSAL

LEARN TO MEDITATE

Jennifer McPhee (left) is choreographing the dance routines for the Studio Theatre’s upcoming musical Cabaret.

Directed by Sandi Alaric the dancers include Matthew Granlund (right) as the master of ceremonies. The dancers rehearsed at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre Sunday.

The musical will be on stage at the Studio Theatre March 9-12, 16-19, and 25-26 with a live orchestra. Artistic director is Sandi Alaric, choral director Sharon Hoffman, and band director is Murray Hoffman.

Anti-racism workshops set for spring Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Cariboo Chilcotin Canadian Mental Health Association has received a total of almost $30,000 in government grants in recent months to fight racism.

The first grant announced back in November was for $10,000 to mount an anti-racism media campaign which is scheduled to roll out in mid-February.

On Jan. 21 Victoria announced a second grant of $19,976 for CMHA to host a series of anti-racism workshops this spring.

“We want to ensure all people feel a sense

of belonging and acceptance in Williams Lake and across B.C.,” said Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett in announcing the second grant last week.

“Through education and workshops, we can help address racism and strengthen our community.”

Margaret-Anne Enders, CMHA’s multicultural program coordinator said the local branch is pleased to receive the new grant which will be used to provide experiential anti-racism workshops for local youth, parents, community members, and CMHA staff.

Marilyn Livingston said representatives of the PeerNetBC training group will launch the anti-racism education campaign in the spring by conducting a two-day workshop for CMHA staff and community partners titled Facilitating Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Dialogue.

In the three days following this training, CMHA and PeerNetBC staff will cofacilitate six smaller, four-hour workshops, involving up to 50 participants each.

Four workshops will also be offered to Grade 7 students at Lake City Secondary’s Columneetza campus.

She says the final workshop will be offered to local business owners and leaders.

“Our intent is to provide a strong antiracism message to a diverse group of people in a relatively small timeframe,” Livingston says.

“Once PeerNetBC is gone, CMHA Cariboo Chilcotin Branch and its community partners will have the training, tools, and experience to offer future anti-racism workshops and will be well-equipped to continue a local education campaign against racism.”

Livingston says antiracism projects can include community events, works of art,

Mt. Timothy Ski Area attracts gourmet chef Angie Mindus Staff Writer

Chef Mike Sonier and girlfriend, Sierra Wright, serve up healthy, gourmet food at the Mt. Timothy Ski Area lodge. hidden away and remote. It’s really nice to be in a more relaxed atmosphere.”

An avid snowboarder and mountain biker himself, Sonier admits he is a bit of a gypsy, and has allowed his hobbies and passion for food to take him from the east coast to the west, and many points off the beaten path in between.

“I like to travel a lot.”

Sonier has owned his own catering company for years and has also worked as a consultant to open restaurants in

2016 YEAR OF THE RED MONKEY

Baked flatbreads with chorizo sausage, gourmet soups and signature burgers served with roasted potatoes and mixed greens might be something one would expect to find on the menu of a restaurant in Whistler Village.

But, thanks to the Internet and the adventurous spirit of Edible Coast Bistro owner and chef Mike Sonier, patrons of the Mt. Timothy Ski Area can enjoy Sonier’s refreshingly healthy take on local ski fare all this winter.

“I’ve never been to this part of B.C. before.

It’s a new experience for me,” said Sonier, who leased the kitchen space in the lodge after coming across an ad for a kitchen manager online.

After deciding to make the move, Sonier and his girlfriend, Sierra Wright, quickly packed their things and arrived at the hill just four days before opening for the season.

“There are lots of opportunities here. I like the change of pace and the property, it’s

Golden and Whistler.

After the 2015/16 ski season Sonier has plans to return to the East Coast and the tourist town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to open another Edible Coast Bistro restaurant with the same organic feel and gourmet flare of the one at Mt. Timothy.

Sonier was raised in Moncton, New Brunswick and was working in a family diner by the time he was a teenager.

He names wellknown East Coast Chef Gastón as his longtime mentor and

credits his parents with instilling in him a love for good food at a young age.

“Both my parents were great cooks at home,” he says.

“My mom is a really healthy eater — I was eating spinach salad by the time I was eight.”

Knowing his background, it’s no surprise then how Sonier runs his own restaurant.

Fresh, local and organic as much as possible, just about everything Sonier serves he

makes himself fresh daily — from his own sauces, to hamburger patties and salad dressing — and the difference is incomparable.

“It’s a lot more work.

But I do it because it’s a good product — it’s healthy.”

Gone from the menu are such junk food staples as pop, chocolate bars, chips and even the deep fryer, which was the first thing Sonier removed from the kitchen.

“I’ve never had a deep fryer in any of my kitchens and I’ve been cooking for 20 years.”

Sonier has had his share of setbacks since opening the restaurant, such as having all his food, including an expensive meat order and computers, stolen out of his vehicle while he stayed in a hotel in 100 Mile House overnight to resupply the kitchen for New Year’s Eve. He’s also taken some complaints for removing the junk food and for taking a little longer to prepare orders but he’s taking it all in stride.

“There have been a lot more good com-

ments than bad,” says Sonier, who has finetuned his menu to have some quicker food options for customers.

As a gift for working so hard at the beginning of the move and through the holidays, Sonier and his girlfriend, Wright, who works alongside him, just returned from a heli-skiing trip to the Selkirk mountains.

“That’s a little present to ourselves after working so hard.”

Sonier’s own favourite food dishes include curry rice bowls, handmade pasta and “a really good salad.”

He has many goals for his restaurant at Mt. Timothy, including offering gourmet long table fine dining at the lodge after ski hours and a local catering service as well.

He will also continue to make everything from scratch at the lodge, and hopes to set up a smoker out back where he plans to smoke his own meats and seafoods, including bison smokies, to serve up at the ski hill.

“The healthy version of a hot dog,” he says.

Chief says better fencing needed along Highway 20 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse is calling on the government to improve fencing and enforce speed limits along Highway 20 in his community after a horse was struck and killed by a logging truck in January.

“Why are they putting new fences all along Highway 20 to Anahim Lake but not where it matters most,” Alphonse said, noting it’s a matter of public safety.

He added logging truck haulers are often seen driving through the reserve at 100 and 120 km an hour in an 80 km hour zone.

The Alexis Creek RCMP confirmed it does regular speed checks along the highway to enforce the limits, while Alphonse said he’s considered speed bumps as an option.

“We understand the concerns,” a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said in an e-mailed response. “The Tl’etinqox (Anaham) have put in an application with the Provincial Livestock Fencing program for a request for fencing along this corridor, and we will be carefully considering their

application as we review all the requests for the 2016 construction season.”

Administration of

the Provincial Livestock Fencing program is done by the BC Cattlemen’s Association (BCA), in partnership

prioritizes them accordingly,” the ministry spokesperson said, noting applications are prioritized annually on

a number of factors including but not limited to: number of livestock present, fence condition, demonstrated

cross-containment (ie: full enclosure), whether the fence is being maintained, highway traffic volumes, etc.

I didn’t do much cooking when I was a kid. Mud pies were not the kind of cooking one could eat and they were very messy.

I did not graduate in mud pie cooking but I did manage to get a Cubs badge for cooking peanut butter cookies. That was the first of any real cooking I did.

I know they have cooking classes in schools now, although I’m not too sure how much they are taught or how much they learn. I have talk-

know how to cook. What kind of cooking education are they getting at home?

That’s where culinary learning should begin, however, I know lots of adults who are working a couple of jobs and don’t even have a lot of time to cook for themselves.

Start the kids out simple.

An easy salad recipe, some simple breakfast cooking, nutritious sandwiches for lunch during the school week or perhaps a simple roast beef dinner.

Whatever, get the kids involved so they know how to cook and know the difference between healthy foods and a bag of chips.

Our son started cooking early in life. He helped his mother with baking and won some fall fair prizes for his peanut butter cookies. I taught him some pretty easy dishes to start: macaroni and cheese, being one of them, and how to do stir-fry recipes that were also pretty easy.

Cariboo growers promote local, sustainable food security Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Cariboo Growers Farmers Co-op Store has grown steadily since first opening its doors in April, 2010.

Started by a small group of growers and supporters the Growers Co-operative of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, now boasts more than 40 members and is open year round.

“This takes planning, patience and dedication,” says store manager Jessica Knodel.

“We exist solely because of the collaboration of our membership, and the ongoing support from everyone who shops at the co-op.”

The non-profit collective strives to provide only foods that are grown and produced in environmentally sustainable and responsible ways without the use of chemicals or pesticides.

Even in February, shoppers will find fresh locally grown vegetables on the shelves: onions, potatoes, parsnips, squash, dried garlic, beats, carrots, winter pears and apples.

In the freezers there are beans, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, Saskatoon berries and a wide selection of meat products.

“For meats we carry local chicken, beef, pork and lamb raised without the use of antibiotics or additional growth hormones and wild dip-net caught salmon,” Knodel says. “You will find as-

Nicola Dodd came in to the Cariboo Growers Co-op recently for some locally grown carrots which are still crisp and tasty and checked out other locally made value-added products. sorted cuts of frozen value-added products such as pork garlic coil, European smokies and turkey sausages.”

The offerings include spray-free apple juice, apple cider vinegar (with the mother), organic cheese and yogurt, dried fruit, specialty breads, local canned salmon, homemade chocolates, antipasto, locally roasted coffee, dried tea, honey, preserves including pickles, carrots, jam, birch tree syrup and drinks, and healthy snacks.

There is also other requested products from further afield such as cold-pressed oils, organic cheese, butter and yogurt, sea salt, gelato, as well as dried, organic cranberries and dried, organic pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, and black chia seeds.

“Many local items have become more affordable as global food prices con-

tinue to rise, while others follow global trends such as the current price of beef,” Knodel says. “This is because the increased costs of processing, and

soaring price of organic non-GMO feed and supplies is unavoidable even by locals.

“It is a blessing we still have ranchers producing healthy meats because there is little or no profit in the business right now if you are a small producer.”

She encourages people to shop and compare their prices which are similar to those of local farmers’ markets.

As a not-for-profit, community co-operative, Knodel says any excess funds generated are given back to other community not-for-profit organizations.

Co-op memberships and donations help the cooperative to make needed improvements to the store

and provide members with discounts. Memberships are $35 a year and provide savings of up to 10 per cent once a month on purchases up to $100.

Cariboo Growers was started as a way to provide consumers with a broader access to local foods, en-

courage an environmentally sustainable local agricultural industry, and facilitate local food security and self-sufficiency.

“For the local economy, the co-op is a win-win for everyone involved and our community as a whole,” Knodel says.

Meru climb next up for film club Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor Meru, a U.S./India co-production is the next Williams Lake Film Club feature to be shown Tuesday, Feb. 9 in the Gibraltar Room.

The 87-minute documentary was filmed in the Himalaya mountains of India by climbers and directors Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi.

The language is English.

Chin works for National Geographic and has climbed Mount Everest a couple of times, even skied down parts of it once to film another group.

First of all I would like to say, Meru is simply awesome.

It tells the story of three elite climbers as they attempt to reach the 21,000-foot summit of the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru.

This peak has seen

The Williams Lake Film Club screens the documental film Meru Tuesday, Feb. 9 at the Gibraltar Room. more failed attempts over the past 30 years than any other ascent in the Himalaya mountains and is one of the most coveted prizes in the high-stakes game of big-wall climbing.

It may not be a giant mountain in Hima-

layan terms, but real climbers know that to ascend the central peak by way of the Shark’s Fin is far more challenging than Everest, involving several days on a sheer rock face in subzero temperatures.

Wells hosts gourmet ski tour Since 2006 the tiny mountain-town of Wells has hosted the Wells International Gourmet Ski Tour.

On Saturday, Feb. 20, the gourmet ski tour starts at the Bear’s Paw Cafe in Wells, and ends across the Camel Drive at the Jack O’ Clubs General Store and Pub. In between skiers can choose the easy route between international meals staggered

along the trails, or take more adventurous routes, which include bonus treasures.

Saturday evening, the Wells and Area Trails Society, which raises funds to maintain the network of cross country ski trails in the area, also hosts a selection of films from the annual Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

What you bring, you carry.

When all-star climbing team Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk attempted it in 2008, a snowstorm trapped them in their tent, hanging by ropes off the side of the cliff for three nights and four days.

Their rations ran out and they were forced to turn back within 100 metres of the summit.

Chin, a professional cameraman, vowed never to come back again. But, that was then.

With expert insight from writer Jon Krakauer and interviews with the climbers and their loved ones, Meru does not just put us on the mountain and in these men’s boots, but into their heads and hearts as well.

With absolutely stunning cinematography by the climbers themselves, Meru is an up-close and personal story of friendship, sacrifice, hope, passion, and obsession.

And it is just so incredibly beautiful!

Among other awards, Meru won the audience award at last

Meru only had a limited theatre run, but it quickly proved to be a runaway success.

As after each film we will have our little social with refreshments.

I am actually pondering to bake some sauerkraut chocolate cake bites.

Have you ever tried such a thing? I have not either, but it sure is tempting.

MONEY MATTERS

First time tax filer?

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR RETURN

and government correspondence. Being organized in advance of tax season is the best way to ensure you have a successful filing.

3. If you are a student, learn about the claims that apply to you and where you can get your tax information. For instance, tuition slips are sent by your school and often available online.

Credits for books are calculated based on enrollment, not receipts, and moving expenses can be claimed if students

establish residency in the new province and earn income.

4. Start learning about your finances.

Put together a simple budget to track expenses and income so you have a basic understanding of your financial life.

Build on that to educate yourself about your tax life so you can keep managing your own tax filing.

5. Find a filing method that fits your life and habits. If you do everything online already, consider filing your taxes online too.

Two Cariboo Archers join thousands in Las Vegas Compete against top archers in the world Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Two Williams Lake archers recently made their way south to Las Vegas, Nev. for the largest and most prestigious indoor archery tournament in the world, the Vegas Shoot.

Junior archer Ty Thurow, 12, and his coach, Al Campsall, joined more than 3,000 archers from around the globe for the event, which ran from Jan. 29-31.

There, competitors took aim at paper targets set at 18 metres in distance with a 10 spot the size of a loonie.

“I was very proud of my student, Ty, and his shooting,” Campsall said.

“Although shooting against boys up to the age of 14, Ty hung in and finished 50th out of 100 against the top youth shooters from around the globe.”

Campsall said Ty got off to a rough start in front of large crowds, but showed significant maturity when he rallied to a strong finish.

Ty’s top score for the weekend was a 285/300 — a very respectable score,

Campsall noted.

“I, on the other hand, started strong but had to settle for a top third finish against more than 1,000 of the top archers in the world,” he said, adding it would be difficult to calculate his exact finish due to the sheer number of archers competing and the way they are flighted at the tournament.

“Each flight contains about 35 archers who all shoot the final day,” he said.

His top score was 294/300.

“Ty has not caught me yet, but I expect it in the near future,” he said.

“We’re both keen to get home and work on some skills and techniques we gleaned from our experiences.”

The next shoot for members of the Cariboo Archers will be in two weeks in Cloverdale, which is a warmup for the Canadian Indoor 3D Championships held at the same location at the beginning of April.

The pair travelled with their families to the shoot.

“It was exhilarating to have our two families here cheering for us,” Campsall said.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Stuart McLellan is looking to knock 2016 out of the ring — starting with a Canadian title victory later this month in Calgary.

The 29-year-old pro boxer from Williams Lake will mix it up with Calgary’s Janks Trotter, 31, in the main event for the vacant Canadian light middleweight title on Feb. 26 at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino.

McLellan will be stepping up a weight class to 154 pounds for the bout — a weight he said more suits his size.

While fighting down a weight class at 145 pounds, McLellan said 2015 was a tough year.

second to Canadian Professional Boxing Council welterweight champion, Steve Claggett, of Calgary.

Despite, McLellan has 12 wins, two losses and three draws in his professional boxing career.

“I took three months off last year,” he said.

“Dealing with a defeat is almost like dealing with a death or something, but I’ve been fighting the best and it’s a win, win [situation] when you fight good guys.

You’re always learning.”

He’s now focusing on a healthy lifestyle, training hard and has focused and committed his mindset to boxing.

“I’ve been spending a lot of time in Edmonton working with guys there who live the sport,” McLellan said, noting a recent engagement to his now finance, who lives there, has been part

of the reason for his time spent away from home.

“We went over to Calgary to do some sparring with Steve Claggett and that was really good work.

“We never sparred together before because we knew we’d fight each other one day. He’s a world class fighter.”

As for Trotter (92-1), McLellan said he’s a strong puncher who packs a lot of power.

“He beat my brother [Roberto McLellan] before so I’m looking to avenge the family name,” he said. “He’s 9-2 but has never gone the distance, win or lose, so I’m looking to get him a few rounds in, hopefully.”

T-wolves third at home tourney The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves fell just shy of reaching the final at their home tournament during the weekend. After finishing second in their round robin pool, the T-wolves squared off with the Fort St. John Flyers to determine who would advance to the championship.

There, however, the team — suffering from multiple injuries — lost 8-2.

Brendan Pigeon notched two goals in the contest, with Jax Passeri, Tyson Conroy and Justin Swan chipping in assists.

During the round robin Williams Lake beat Smithers 5-2 and Chilliwack 3-2, but were up-

ended by Terrace, 6-3.

Pigeon (2G), Conroy, Jake Jackson and Tristan Takats lit the lamp versus Smithers, Pigeon, Conroy and Swan scored in the Terrace matchup and Swan, Pigeon and Jackson found the twine against Chilliwack.

In the final, Fort St. John edged Prince George, 4-3, to win the tournament.

Since Williams Lake lost the semifinal matchup to the eventual tournament winner, they wound up third in the tournament. Teams at the tournament travelled from Chilliwack, Quesnel, Prince George, Vanderhoof, Smithers, Terrace

Prince George needs just one point in two games to secure first and has yet to lose to Quesnel this season.
