Hospital laundry workers in Williams Lake say it’s bitter sweet they get to keep their jobs.

Michele Frances, along with her co-workers Dawn Gardner, Barb Olah and Candice Farnsworth said

they learned Tuesday during a conference call Interior Health will be contracting out laundry services in Kelowna, Nelson, Penticton, Vernon and Kamloops, while services in Golden, Ashcroft, Princeton, 100 Mile House, Lillooet and Williams Lake will remain in-house.

“There is still a chance we could

provide the majority of linen and laundry services through a centralized Okanagan-based facility, supported by regional distribution centres, beginning in summer 2017.

Peace rally planned for Boitanio skateboard park Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It is time to make the skateboard park in Williams Lake a safe place, said lakecity hip-hop artist Travis Anthony.

“Two of my friends and I have wanted to hold a BMX and skateboard jam in the park for a long time to raise awareness, but with all the unnecessary violence going on in this community we decided to do something now,” the 24 year old said Thursday.

Anthony and his friends, Shaun McDon-

Travis Anthony ald and James Wyborn, are co-ordinating a Stop the Violence Peace

Rally, BMX and skateboard jam and community barbecue, tak-

ing place on Saturday, March 26 from 3 to 6:30 p.m. at the skateboard park.

“We think if the community can discuss peaceful ways to prevent incidents like the one last week where the boy’s bike was stolen at gunpoint, we can find solutions that are better than the radical GPS technology being discussed by our city,” Anthony said.

Anthony grew up in Williams Lake with Wyborn and attended Marie Sharpe Elementary School.

He lived in the hous-

ing development at 605 Carson Drive and hung out at the skateboard park all the time, he said.

Violence at the park was an every day thing when he was a kid, he said.

“I was jumped and robbed of bikes and skateboards. It was something we wanted to address but at 12 or 15 felt like no one wanted to listen.”

Now that they are adults Anthony said they are hoping they can make a difference.

As a hip-hop artist Anthony performs un-

der the name of Young Catalyst.

In response to the recent escalating violence in Williams Lake he has written a song titled Balance for the People.

“A lot of people in Williams Lake are quick to point the finger and judge the Aboriginal community when it comes to violent crime,” he said. “It’s not fair because it’s not a race thing. Anybody is capable of unnecessary violence. Often people act out because of mental illness and situations at home. Everybody has a history.”

Anthony believes strongly that skateboard parks need to be a safe place for youth.

He’s even started an online petition calling for increased security at the skate park.

He said more surveillance cameras might help but they won’t prevent unnecessary violence for youth at risk.

All proceeds from the barbecue will go to the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre to ensure there are more opportunities for youth to express their creativity, Anthony said.

$35 million over the life of the contract we will be able to increase our investment in facilities and equipment to support direct patient care, including necessary upgrades and expansions of our emergency departments and operating

room,” said IH board chair Erwin Malzer in a press release.

Whitehall, however, argued that privatization never saves money.

“It has been proven time and time again that it costs more,” she said.

Southern Interior laundry services to be privatized Continued From Page A1 Throughout the last year as Interior Health deliberated on whether to privatize laundry services or not, the laundry employees at CMH worried about the impact contracting

out would have on the hospital, they said.

Often they find things such as hearing aids, dentures, jewelry, even medical instruments, in amongst the linens.

If the laundry is sent to a central place those things would

be lost and never returned to their owners, they said.

Throughout the deliberations the Hospital Employees’ Union held a comprehensive campaign, said HEU communications manager Brenda Whitehall as she praised

Williams Lake city council for passing a motion in June 2015 protesting the privatization.

“A lot of public pressure was put on and I’m glad some jobs were saved, but it is quite devastating to lose more than 100

jobs in major cities in the Interior,” Whitehall said.

In announcing its decision Interior Health said a clear financial case exists to proceed with the outsourcing.

“With an anticipated savings of about

This is the 119th anniversary of the discovery of Aspirin® (ASA). The original source of the drug, salicylic acid, was the bark of the willow tree, known and used by the Sumerians about 5000 years ago.

Salicylic acid was isolated from this bark in 1763 but it was too irritating to the stomach. Finally, in 1897, the Bayer company in Germany patented acetylsalicylic acid and the rest is history.

Three injured in crash involving stolen vehicle near Riske Creek Angie Mindus Staff Writer Three youth were sent to hospital early Wednesday morning, two with serious injuries, and two were taken into police custody after the stolen vehicle they were in crashed near Riske Creek.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the RCMP received several reports of the incident at around 3:38 a.m. from truck drivers and a passing motorist who came upon the scene along Highway 20 near the Riske Creek rodeo grounds.

Five people aged 16,

17, 19, 19 and 25 were inside the vehicle when it left the road and rolled several times with some of the occupants being ejected from the vehicle.

Byron said those involved in the crash were transported to hospital at first by one of the passing motorists

who loaded the injured into their pickup truck and transported them towards Williams Lake until they were met by police and ambulance on the highway.

The vehicle was towed to Williams Lake for further investigation by police.

The truck involved in

the crash, a 1991 black Chevy pickup truck, was reported stolen from Moon Avenue in Williams Lake later that morning.

Byron said the matter is in the early stages of the investigation, however, it is suspected alcohol and speed were factors in the incident.

Corneil said the increase in opioid related overdoses has been “gradual and ongoing” and a significant enough problem that communities are growing more and more concerned.

“People are starting to realize (overdose deaths are) possible.

Interior Health is the latest health authority to issue a public warning and information bulletin outlining ways drug users can stay safe.

“We want to stress again that anybody using any substances is at high risk of coming in contact with fentanyl,” Davis said, noting even the smallest amount of fentanyl can cause an

overdose.

The Williams Lake RCMP also wants the public to understand the inherent risks involved with using illicit drugs and applauds the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake for their efforts to raise awareness.

As the city eyes developing the River Valley Trail system and extending it all the way to Scout Island, any funds gained from selling the five identified parks could go toward the project, Cobb added.

In the meantime, Cobb said the city has put an offer into BC Rail to get proper access right from the Comer Street parking lot through to Scout Island.

Disabled illserved by B.C. The most recent increase to the government’s disability allowance was touted as if the provincial government was passing out gold bars.

In fact, the province was merely boosting the monthly amount by $77.

For many people living in this province, that will be less than a month’s rent if the year’s worth of increase is combined. It’s a single trip to the grocery store.

Then the province decided to compound its stinginess by yanking back some of the money.

If you get a government-funded bus pass, you only get $25 a month. And depending on your transportation method, it can be as low as $11 a month.

These allowances are intended for people who, by definition, may have great difficulty finding work, and an even greater challenge finding housing.

Transportation is astonish-

ingly difficult. For those with physical disabilities, a cracked sidewalk or poorly built crosswalk can be insurmountable obstacles.

And transit, while better than a generation ago, does not provide anything like full mobility, especially with the slow death by a thousand cuts being inflicted on HandyDart.

Most government assistance in B.C. can barely keep an individual or family out of abject poverty. It keeps people from starving or freezing, and that’s about it.

It is supplemented by a variety of non-governmental programs, including food banks and Meals on Wheels.

Clawing back a meagre increase, as the cost of living heads ever upward, shows that the B.C. Liberals do not value all citizens equally.

Life is a beach: optimism facing challenges back home “Life is a Beach…” was the title of the e-mail Susan wrote home to our family recently.

Nice take off on the original.

Life is good here, and it brings optimism to face challenges back home.

I have been sitting on the beach a lot here in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, thinking about ranching and farming in the Cariboo and making casual observations about farming and ranching here and the economy in general.

We were last here seven years ago.

At that time the government was initiating clean up and recycling programs to enhance the attractiveness to tourists.

Ranch Musings

with David Zirnhelt

To us a minor miracle has happened.

The city is clean and the sewage and fish smells are almost non existent.

The same goes for the local

indoor market which stretches over three blocks.

The farm economy was faltering then as the bottom had fallen out of the coconut oil market.

Much of the farmland had converted to palm trees.

But the market for oil had suffered because of those many consumers now afraid of saturated fats.

Fortunately, even for health reasons, the fear has abated somewhat and now you can see renovated coconut plantations (orchards) everywhere.

Papaya and corn are other popular crops.

In the past 10 years, the cattle population in the Zihuatenajo

region has fallen from about 12,000 head to about 5,000.

Better meat cuts for tourists’ tastes are imported from other areas of Mexico and Brazil. In Canada and the Cariboo in that time period we lost about 30 per cent of our production.

According to the local regional website the cattle economy is in need of innovative solutions which might include farming practices that support the finishing on the local lush grasses.

There isn’t much grain in sight in the nearby fields.

The word in the neighbouring town of Pettatlan is that the local farmers are doing quite well because of the diversity of crops that they raise and be-

cause they produce so much of their own food.

A slight downside of the visit is remembering the first visit which was with two of my siblings and their partners.

One of them, my brother Leonard, has since passed on.

We have him to thank him for introducing us to this wonderful place.

Many good memories live large here.

Bowing to the power of federal court judges One of the enduring legacies of Pierre Trudeau’s time as prime minister is the legal supremacy of the individual, as articulated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We are seeing this played out with greater force than ever today, by an activist high court that swatted aside Stephen Harper’s attempts to restrain it, and now orders a meek, politically correct Justin Trudeau government to do its bidding.

The Federal Court decreed last week that people have the right to grow their own “medical” marijuana.

This ruling is unlikely to be appealed, given that Trudeau the Younger is committed to legalizing marijuana for everyone.

There are conditions that show measurable relief from marijuana products, such as glaucoma or the nausea and loss of appetite associated with cancer treatments.

But much of the so-called medical marijuana industry is based on unsubstantiated claims about an inconsistent herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal.

The Federal Court case involves four people from B.C., which boasts more than half of the contested medical marijuana growing licences issued across the country.

One of the petitioners suffers from a vaguely defined condition known as “chronic fatigue syndrome,” which led to a disability pension from a federal civil service job at age 45.

The judge cited no research to support the claim that sitting around smoking dope all day re-

B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

lieves this condition.

Indeed it defies common sense that a set of symptoms with no identified cause, which might be confused with what we used to call laziness, would be alleviated by chronic consumption of a drug that promotes eating chips and watching TV. But we peasants aren’t supposed to question our monarchs, especially those in ermine-trimmed red robes at the Supreme Court of Canada.

That court has decreed that our charter, which in Section 7 protects the “right to life, liberty and security of the person,” includes a right to have a doctor’s help to commit suicide.

Euthanasia has been rebranded as “assisted dying” by all the most “progressive” countries, and Canada has been given a firm deadline to join the club.

(Meanwhile, the term “right to life” is all but banned from university campuses, to minimize the risk of a coarse literal interpretation that it means, you know, a right to life.)

A Liberal-dominated committee of MPs and senators has recommended full-throttle

implementation, not restricted to terminal illness and including mental conditions such as depression and dementia.

The majority suggested even “mature minors” should have this new right.

The politicians support allowing doctors to opt out of cases they won’t condone, as long as they provide a referral to another doctor.

In Belgium, one of the pioneers of this brave new world, most of the growing number of euthanasia patients have had cancer.

But as The New Yorker magazine reported in a ground-breaking article last summer, others have been euthanized because of autism, anorexia, partial paralysis, blindness with deafness, manic-depression and yes, chronic fatigue syndrome.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake expressed the hope that Canada ends up with a consistent policy on doctor-assisted suicide, rather than a provincial patchwork.

The closest Lake came to politically incorrect criticism was to caution that “deep dis-

cussion” is needed around the court’s notion of a “competent minor,” someone not yet entrusted with the vote or access to a liquor store.

Three dissenting Conservative MPs went so far as to say the recommendations don’t adequately protect seniors who might be coerced into checking out and passing on their estates.

How old-fashioned.

TIMBER KINGS FEATURES CANADIAN TIRE

Gaeil Farrar photo

Hannah James (left) and her mom, Mala (right), were thrilled to meet and have their picture taken with Timber Kings star André Chevigny of Pioneer Log Homes of BC during a special signing event for the stars held at Canadian Tire Sunday afternoon. The Timber Kings show on the Home and Garden Television Network Sunday evening was all about the company building the log cabin style feature in the Williams Lake Canadian Tire sports department, some of which is pictured behind them.

Expect a great night at the Business Excellence Awards I suspect the city will be happy with no more snow this winter (wishful thinking).

Not only will it save them some dollars down the road but it will also give them some time to sort out the business of how they will be keeping the roads and sidewalks later this year when winter comes again.

There were some complaints this season about how the process was handled when we got a big dump of the white stuff all at once.

Nice to see the warm weather here this early.

I have quite a few herbs that are now consumable, and while

Contemplating Ken

with Ken Wilson

there is nothing wrong with dried herbs, fresh always seems to taste a little different.

I did my first weeding in the garden this week pulling some

chickweed and a little grass.

I can’t remember when I have been pulling weeds in February.

Last year I planted a bunch of garlic and the little sprouts are now three to four inches in height.

There are other plants just starting to stick their noses out of the warm soil, at least for this time of the year.

One of my favorite garden flowers is the Saskatchewan Lilly. But that will be a few months away.

I just love this early spring and enjoy watching mother nature slowly develop, from a small seed in the ground, planted in the fall,

and watch it develop through its adolescence period of small tiny blooms by late spring, then magnificent flowers or tasty herbs.

This is also the time of year for the Williams Lake and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards at the Elks Hall.

A salute to the businesses and individuals who work for excellence and accomplishment.

That’s what the awards are all about — the customer service award always receives lots of nominations, as does the food services..

I am glad I don’t have to be a judge for any of the categories.

The theme this year is Discover China.

The food, hall decorations and the comedian, Graham Clark, will surely create a great time for everyone in a memorable evening.

Community Futures is the Business of the Year Sponsor, they have been doing good work with business over the years.

I’m looking to see who picks up the big trophies tomorrow night at the Business Excellence Awards.

And now more snow, right Walt?

Entertainment Culture

Cabaret leaps to the stage with a nine-piece band Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Studio Theatre’s production of the iconic musical Cabaret begins its three-week run Wednesday with all the hurly burly madness of the original production.

Cabaret is set in 1931 Berlin as the Nazis are beginning their rise to power and the productive Weimar Republic is being torn apart by radical politics.

Inflation and joblessness are rising but inside the Kit Kat Klub, the world is alive with seedy glamour, raucous energy and a kind of freedom never known before — for now, reads the play synopsis.

The story revolves around the glamourous but damaged English entertainer Sally Bowles, played

by Kathy MacDonald, and her relationship with the struggling young American writer, Cliff Bradshaw, played

by Chris Hutton.

A sub-plot involves the doomed romance between German boarding house owner Fräulein Schneider, played by Stacey Poirier, and her elderly suitor Herr Schultz, a Jewish fruit vendor, played

by Carl Johnson.

The Kit Kat Klub serves as a metaphor for ominous political developments in late Weimar Germany, ultimately taking a dark and sinister turn leading to the Second World War. The club’s master of ceremonies, played by Matthew Granlund, to-

Filling out the cast in this high stepping musical are Harry Jennings as Ernst Ludwig; William Wallace as Max; Mary-Jo Hilyer as Victor; Kirsten Sandberg as Fräulein Kost; and Brad McGuire as Bobby.

The singing and dancing Kit Kat Klub girls are played by Maria Gutierrez-Jackson as Rosie; Carolina Rieffolo as Fritzie; Haley Tazelaar as Frenchie;

Rowena Resuello as Texas; and Tanis Daum as Lulu.

Sandi Alaric, wellknown for her own beautiful singing voice, is taking a break from the stage this time around to direct Cabaret and is thrilled to be working with “a most incredible cast and crew.”

“We open on Wednesday,” Alaric says with excitement. “It’s down to the crunch. It’s marvellous. I’m having the time of my life.”

She says the production welcomes several newcomers to the theatre stage.

“That’s what com-

munity theatre is all about, attracting new people and seeing them have a good time.”

Cabaret will be staged with a live orchestra and for the last two

performances as dinner theatre at the Elk’s Hall, where the back stage crew will recreate the set from the Studio Theatre in that community hall.

While the set is simple, she says “sometimes simple isn’t easy.”

In the chorus line alone Alaric says there are 46 costume changes.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with,” Alaric says.

Key leaders on this production include choreographer Jennifer McPhee; choral director Sharon Hoffman; musical and band director Murray Hoffman; producer Tony Savile; costume design and construction, Christa Obergfell; lighting Jeff Rankin; stage manager Becky Strickland; makeup design Tanis Daum; hair design Amy Emery; and set design Janet Lindsay.

Savile, who is doing a lot of the set construction, says Cabaret has been in production since early November with a cast of 15 and a nine-member band.

“This is an incredibly talented cast of musicians, singers, dancers and actors,” Savile says.

Cabaret is on stage at the studio theatre for its regular run March 9-12 and 16-19.

The dinner theatre events will be held at the Elk’s Hall Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26. The Saturday dinner theatre is sold out but there are still some tickets available for the Friday event.

Tickets are available at The Open Book, Kit and Kaboodle and About Face Photography: $20 for adults and $18 for youth and seniors; $50 for dinner theatre; and $10 for opening night on March 9.

One of my favourite things to do as a priest is to visit the children at Sacred Heart School. I love to be with them throughout the day to play soccer, hockey, visit classrooms, and push the children on the swings.

Of all the reasons why we have a Catholic School, the foundation is to build a relationship with Jesus Christ, who is God who became one of us as a man.

We have entered into the time of Lent, a forty day period of preparation for Easter, where we make little sacrifices to grow in our relationship with Jesus. As Jesus made the sacrifice of his life for us by dying on the Cross, so we can imitate Him in small ways by our little sacrifices.

So some of the students have taken on of their own free will to make little sacrifices for forty days.

Some have given up cookies, sugar, salt, pop, television, video games, etc. This becomes a great preparation for their future.

If a person, for example, cannot say, “No” to eating the cookie, then the cookie is in control of that person.

If a person can sacrifice and not eat the cookie, then they are in control of the cookie.

So, for forty days, every

PARSONS PEN

BY Father Derrick time a student says, “No” to the cookie or whatever they gave up, then they are developing ‘spiritual muscles’ to say “No”.

Imagine after forty days of practice, the students will have strengthened their will to say, “No”. This will be a good practice for when they get older. When bigger temptations in life come, such as drugs, alcohol, smoking, misusing the gift of our sexuality outside of marriage, etc., they will have already developed the spiritual muscles of their will power to say, “No”. If they cannot say, “No” to the cookie, then they will have even a harder time to say,

“No” to the big temptation.

This small discipline will be of great value, especially when they have their freedom in life, and not be caught up in their bad habits or addiction.

Having an addiction is like being a slave to the thing that controls us. One suggestion for helping to get rid of an addiction, along with prayer, support from community and suitable friends, mentorship, etc. is fasting. A serious form of fasting is to eat only bread (substantial bread) and water for one day a week, if one’s health allows for it. This is extremely difficult at the beginning, but when we get into the practice of this discipline, it slowly gives us our will power back to say, “No”. We slowly begin to regain our freedom.

So if we start the children off young by making little sacrifices, it can prevent them from entering into a deep hole that they may make for themselves. To have interior freedom is a beautiful gift that you can give to your children.

Jesus said “If you continue in My word… and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32

Snowmobile film stars make visit to Chilcotin Members of the Betties Adventures crew — a unique series of films involving women and snowmobiling — visited the Rainbow Mountains in the Chilcotin last week.

Alberta’s Meghan Oswald and Rhonda Down — also a stunt rider on several Thunderstruck snowmobile movies — visited Nimpo Lake, Anahim Lake and Heckman Pass for a family visit and to ride four of the Chilcotin’s premier mountain ranges.

“The girls rode the Southern Coastal Mountain Range then were invited to join a group of locals, some Toulameen visitors and a German gent for a ride in the Rainbow Mountain Range,” said Nimpo Lake resident Ted Hlokoff, who documented the ride by taking photographs.

“With spring conditions many of us got stuck, but everyone had fun. Some hill climbing, trail riding, lots of carving the powder and everyone got to ‘ride the trees’ making

fresh tracks in the unlimited snow.”

Oswald and Down also spent a day ice fishing while staying at the Dean on Nimpo and assured Hlokoff they would be back next year, possibly with the rest of the film crew, to film a movie.

Leathan Milne and Lydia Hol inspirational Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor

James Still photo

Leathan Milne and Lydia Hol wowed the audience at the Friday, Feb. 28 Safety Meeting concert at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre.

If I had to pick, last Friday’s Safety Meeting concert featuring Leathan Milne and Lydia Hol (sounds like “hall”) was maybe my favourite one of the season so far.

It worked out nicely since Lydia and Leathan happen to share a backup band,

CONGRATULATIONS!

though with slightly different instrumentation, and a completely different feel.

The atmosphere set

by Lydia got everybody totally hooked from the first song.

She has a very distinct blend of lush folk and roots.

Much of her signature sound comes from her rich low register voice.

Leathan slowed things down about 20 per cent, and put everybody into a trance.

I love how his arrangements blur together, so you often can’t tell exactly

who is making what sound.

They all play together so nicely, making a nice warm (in Brent Morton’s words “chocolatey”) wash of sound for Leathan to sing through.

Last week will be a striking contrast to tonight’s concert at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre concert with Wooden Horsemen from Vancouver and the local band Bush Party and I am quite excited.

Tickets are available at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed for $15.

Parent warns about dangers to teens using social media Staff Writer Tribune/Advisor

154 athletes from Cariboo - North East competed at the 2016 BC Winter Games bringing home 49 medals.

Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions.

A lakecity mom is warning parents of the perils of social media following an incident with her daughter recently.

“She’s a good kid but she’s very easily influenced, which most kids are at this age,” said the mother, who asked that her name not be revealed to protect her daughter’s identity.

Despite checking her 14-year-old daughter’s phone and social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram regularly, the mom said she was mortified to discover her daughter had posted a photograph of herself on the popular teen site, Hot Or Not, and was texting with a young adult male from northern B.C. who approached her online after seeing her picture.

“This was all about getting attention, and that’s what social media is,” said the mom, adding she’s afraid to

even think what kind of trouble kids who aren’t being monitored regularly are getting themselves into online.

“Our world is scary, and I want parents to know just how easy it is for people to prey on our kids.”

The mom said she was able to recover enough information to get a clearer picture of what her daughter was up to online and has since taken steps to restrict her access, but she worries that increasingly parents are not as tech savvy as their children.

“I think it’s really important for parents who don’t understand all this technology to get the information they need,” she said, noting she’s hoping to gather more information for parents in order to eventually host a workshop on the topic.

“I’m not a perfect parent, but I do love my daughter, and I don’t want to see her or any other children devalue themselves.”

“She had a high-risk lifestyle and was into drugs and prostitution, but she was also really nice and would give you the shirt off her back,” said Robin from her home in Moncton, N.B. where she works as an Aboriginal artist. “She was friendly and shy all at the same time.”

Andria also went by Angie or Andy, and sometimes used their father’s last name which is Woodhouse.

She was born on May 16, 1978, making her currently almost 38 years old. She is five feet eight inches tall, and normally weighs about 135 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair, although she changes the colour of her hair often.

In 2008, Robin saw Andria leave Kelowna to go to Fort St. John.

“The last paper record we have of her is in Fort St. John. After there is really nothing,” said Robin, noting their younger sister put in a missing file with the RCMP and in 2012 the

Andria Lucille Meise RCMP opened one in Kelowna which was later moved to Grand Prairie.

“They took our mom’s DNA for the police file,” Robin said.

Andria had a hard life from the get-go, she added.

“Someone threw her across the room when she was three years old and she had to have surgery. She has a scar three inches below

her belly button and down.”

By the time she was 14, Andria was often leaving their home in Kelowna and at 16 she was gone completely.

“When I was 23 she moved in with me for a while, we we’re pretty close. I think she turned to her lifestyle to numb herself,” Robin said.

Robin and her sister Danielle Meise are running out of options and

find it difficult when people tell them they “should just get over it,” Robin added.

“You don’t want to grieve in case she’s found. It is like we are in limbo with no answers. We love her so much and miss her dearly.”

Anyone with information is asked to please call Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-TIPS (8477).

The Williams Lake RCMP is requesting the assistance of the general public to possibly identifying the female noted in the attached photograph.

The subject left the Williams Lake Walmart with 2 TV’s fleeing in a blue Dodge Neon driven by the older male driver.

ULC Monitored Alarms & Installation

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The latest they have been claiming to be doing surveillance on the person’s home. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

If you get such a call, hang up and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1 888 495-8501. If you have paid out funds, then you should advise the RCMP. These types of communication are not from the CRA. When the CRA calls you, it has established procedures in place to make sure your personal information is protected. If you want to confirm the authenticity of a CRA telephone number, call the CRA by using the numbers on its Telephone numbers page. The number for business-related calls is 1-800-959-5525. The number for calls about individual concerns is 1-800-959-8281.

To help you identify possible scams, use the

following guidelines: The CRA: Never requests prepaid credit cards; Never asks for information about your passport, health card, or driver’s licence; Never shares your taxpayer information with another person, unless you have provided the appropriate authorization; and Never leaves personal information on your answering machine or asks you to leave a message containing your personal information on an answering machine.

When in doubt, ask yourself the following: Is there a reason that the CRA may be calling?

Do I have a tax balance outstanding?

Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return?

Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me?

How did the requester get my email address or telephone number?

Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?

The CRA has strong practices to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information. The confidence and trust that individuals and businesses have in the CRA is a cornerstone of Canada’s tax system. For more information about the security of taxpayer information and other examples of fraudulent communications, go to www.cra.gc.ca/security.

If anyone has information regarding this suspect’s identity, they are requested to call the WL RCMP at (250) 392 6211 or Crime stoppers at 1 800 222 8477. Crime stoppers also subscribes to web tips ~ www.bccrimestoppers.com

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Students in the Applied Sustainable Ranching program at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake have been busy since the course began at the end of January.

During the first week they toured area ranches and attended a seminar with ranch management consultant Dave Pratt.

“The seminar with Dave was very well received and we had a number of local ranchers in attendance as well,” said program director Gillian Watt.

On Feb. 22, the students visited the South Cariboo Agri-Culture Enterprise Centre in 100 Mile House and attended a seminar put on by the Ministry of Agriculture.

“It has been a great experience for everyone so far,” Watt said.

Twelve students are in the program, with the majority coming from the Williams Lake and 100 Mile House area.

There is one student from Kamloops and one from Yukon.

The student from Yukon attended in person the first week and then returned home to work and continue his studies from a distance.

Ranches • Acreages • Hobby Farms nars using a video conferencing technology called BlueJeans, Watt said.

There’s another student from Spences Bridge who is really busy on his ranch now as well so he also uses BlueJeans.

“It is a lot of fun,” Watt said.

“We can see their faces and they can see all of us.”

The two outside students participate in group project work, just like they are there in person, she added.

Most of the local students are staying on their own ranches, and one who is not from a ranch, is billeted.

On various Fridays, the students attend seminars together, usually when they’ve completed a module.

Their first module covered the aspects of developing a business strategy.

“They did a great job on that one,” Watt said. “They did amazing group presentations as if they were consultants and were called in to assist a ranch develop a business strategy.”

This Sunday, the students will complete the second module on financial management.

After that they will delve into finance. The students will be expected to develop a capital expenditures plan and determine how they will finance it.

Part of that third module will see Darlene Campbell, Williams Lake Bank of Montreal agriculture account manager, and BC Breeders and Feeders Association

“We are also hoping to have someone come from Farm Credit Canada to that one,” Watt said.

Feedback from the students on the first module was that it was quite a lot of work, but Watt said the program developers expected that it would be.

“The students all got through it really well and in the next one the work is spread out a bit more.”

Watt said what the students are enjoying the most is the applied aspect of the program, that their assignments are based on their own ranch, or the one they would like to build.

“So I think that’s giving them a lot of value.

It’s been a great experience for everyone so far.”

Winter blues in Horsefly?

Not much of a chance of that, this year has been a great winter!

I’m sure people wonder what we do out here sometimes. When you live out of town you can always find something interesting to pass the time!

To tell you a little about that, our Horsefly Quilt Club members have been involved in something really amazing. This group of ladies created 115 dolls (a few of the dolls were created by children at the Horsefly School). The dolls were all made from scratch, using odd bits of fabric for the dolls, their coats and their stuffing.

It took about four gettogethers and the dolls were all done!

These blank dolls will be taken to BC Children’s Hospital to be used by teaching staff as a communication tool for explaining invasive procedures and diagnosing a child’s discomfort. Children decorate the dolls with non toxic markers and can take them home.

What a wonderful thing to do!

I had a chance to see a great big bag filled to the brim, each of them were so well done, colourful and unique!

This is one of the things people do in Horsefly to pass the winter away! Thanks ladies for a job well done, you

“Everybody had fun,” said Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club Jackrabbits co-ordinator, Rob Sutton.

“The obstacle course stadium sprint was a big success and will be back in next year’s event, for sure.”

Nesika finished first with 241 points, Sacred Heart/Maranatha was second with 116 points, Mountview/Marie Sharpe was third with 43 points and Chilcotin Road/ Columneetza was fourth with 32 points.

Next year, Sutton said they plan to expand on the event inviting elementary school skiers from Quesnel and 100 Mile House.

The winners and their team in each age group were as follows: Girls Free Technique (ages 4 to 6) 1.) Juno Hendrickson Nesika 2.)

Grade 7 girls wrap up hoops season

Photo submitted

The Lake City Falcons Grade 7 girls basketball team: coach Kaylee Billyboy (back from left), Brityn Hinsche, Brooke Levens, Kayla Orleans, Alivia Parker, assistant coach Brigette Peel, Kianna Saunders (front from left), Kay-cee Sapp, Sydney Leroy, Dylan Hopkins (missing) and Grace McMillan (missing).

While no junior girls or Grade 8 girls basketball teams were formed at Lake City secondary this season, a group of Grade 7 girls proved their eagerness to get a jump on their high school careers.

Brityn Hinsche, Brooke Levens, Kayla Orleans, Alivia Parker, Kianna Saunders, Kaycee Sapp, Sydney Leroy, Dylan Hopkins and Grace McMillan, under the guidance of head coach Kaylee Billyboy and assistant coach Brigette Peel, put together a successful season.

The Falcons played five games versus Quesnel teams during their season, which wrapped up last month, and finished with four wins and one loss.

They beat École Baker 488, edged Lakeview 22-2 and downed Dragon Lake 42-18, before losing a hard-fought

battle to Lakeview, 37-28. In its last game the team defeated Voyageur, 36-35.

“I’m very proud of how the girls performed and excited to see how they develop their play during their high school careers,” Billyboy said. “Two of these Grade 7 girls are fivefoot-nine and still growing, and we also had one who was tiny, maybe four-foot-two, with the ability to dribble fearlessly around her opponents.”

She said her highlights of the season include finishing and winning a game with just four players on the courtg, and having a player pull off a dunk in the game against Dragon Lake.

“It’s not every day you see a dunk in a girls’ game at any level,” she said. “I hope these girls continue to play as they’re very skilled with great basketball IQs for such young players.”

Provincial junior hoops tourney runs March 13-18 Greg Sabatino Staff Writer More than 500 basketball players, plus managers, coaches, family members and spectators, will descend on the lakecity March 13-18 for the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament.

Thirty-eight teams (21 girls teams and 17 boys teams) featuring players ages 13 to 17 will be competing at the provincial event with games taking place at Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus, LCSS Columneetza Campus and the

Thompson Rivers University gymnasium.

Organizer Roger Harris said teams are travelling from Northern B.C., Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, the Thompson Okanagan and everywhere in between.

“It’s been going on for more than 20 years now,” Harris said of the tournament’s legacy. “We’ll have lots of talent on display and we’re bringing in some vendors [from Williams Lake] and other communities. And, we’ll have great food.”

Bantam T-wolves claim CAHA championship The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves are the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association champions.

That’s after they defeated the Prince George Bantam Cougars in two straight games Friday and Saturday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to sweep the best-of-three CAHA playoff finals.

The win grants the T-wolves a berth to the bantam provincials coming up March 1316 in Salmon Arm. In game one of the CAHA final Ryan Balbirnie was sharp between the pipes in a 4-0 shutout victory.

Brendan Pigeon and Raeyden Beauchamp both lit the lamp on the power play, while Justin Swan and Jax Passeri notched even strength tallies.

Game two was a much closer affair, where Williams Lake eventually emerged victorious in a 6-4
