Williams Lake Tribune, December 18, 2015

A Williams Lake man was honoured by the city this week for his quick actions which saved a man having a diabetic seizure while driving earlier this year.

Wade Cripps says he’s alive to-day because of the heroic efforts of Brady Custaloe.

Cripps said he was driving along Mackenzie Avenue in Oc-tober when he suffered a diabet-ic seizure.

“I am very thankful he was

behind me, in front of me and with me,” Cripps said of Brady, who noticed Cripps’ vehicle in distress and ran to help.

“He saved me from killing my-self and anyone else.”

Custaloe said he first real-ized something was wrong when

a vehicle came up behind him on Mackenzie Avenue North, passed him on the inside near Stampede Glass, and was swerv-ing and missing parked cars.

City Of Williams Lake

Dear Resident

There will be some changes coming to the day in which your solid waste and recycling is collected. Due to statutory holidays and the operational requirements of the City of Williams Lake and its solid waste contractor, the need to change your collection day will change when a statutory holiday is observed during the collection week. This is how the City plans to change your collection day for those weeks:If your collection day falls on a statutory holiday, the collection of your solid waste and recycling will not happen that day. Instead the collection day for the entire week will move ahead by one day.

For example, if Monday is the statutory holiday,

Monday’s collection day will move to Tuesday, Tuesday’s collection day will move to Wednesday,Wednesday’s collection day will move to Thursday, Thursday’s collection day will move to Friday.

This change will only be for the week in which the statutory holiday occurred in. Collection days will return to normal the following week.

Included with this flyer is next year’s solid waste and recycling collection schedule including statutory

holidays. The calendar has been color coded for ease of use.

Yellow – Mondays Blue – Tuesdays Green – Wednesdays Orange – Thursdays Red – statutory holidays

Please place this schedule in a convenient location as a reminder to ensure your solid waste and recycling carts are at the curb on the correct day.

If you have any questions, please contact the Manager Water & Waste at 250 392-1785. For recycling information, go to the MMBC website www.recyclinginbc.ca to view acceptable materials that can be recycled curb-side.

Here are some easy do’s and don’ts that can assist in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you and the solid waste collection services.

Do’s• Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before

7:00 am on your collection day. • Ensure your carts are at least 1.5 meters apart. Carts

that are too close will not be collected.

• Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected.

• Record the serial number on the side of your cart to identify your cart from your neighbors.

• Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially open lids will not be collected.

• Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container.

Don’ts• Don’t put anything in the recycling cart except:

cardboard, plastics (1 through 7), metal food cans, and paper products including magazines, and paper cups.

NO STYROFOAM OR GLASS.• Don’t put grass clippings or other organic material

in the garbage or recycling carts. Organics can be composted or brought to the Frizzi Road Transfer Station for free.

• Don’t leave your carts on the curb or put them out the night before. This interferes with winter snow removal and summer street cleaning.

• Don’t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping.

• Don’t take the carts with you when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

An investigation by the Chief Inspector of Mines is not recom-mending charges against Mount Polley Mine for the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach.

“During our 15-month investigation into the breach we found no non-compliance with mines act permits or

regulations,” said Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman Thursday dur-ing a media conference. “Although there were poor practices by the company there were no offences we could find.”

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said a series of domi-noes led to the failure.

“The unstable and unknown glaco-lacus-trine level underneath

the dam, the over steep slopes, lack of beaches inside the tailings im-poundment, too much water and excavation outside the mine left there for eight months all led to the failure,” Bennett said.

There is still an ongo-ing investigation by the Conservation Officer Service and there may be the possibility of prosecution there, both

Hoffman and Bennett said.

When asked how he felt about the event hap-pening under his watch, Hoffman said it was the most difficult thing he has dealt with.

“Now I feel very strongly that we have recommendations going forward that we can to a large extent prevent this from happening again,” Hoffman said.

Bennett said in the re-port there are incidents of ministry of energy and mines staff asking all the right questions and the engineer of re-cord responding that everything was OK.

“The accident at Mount Polley is an anomaly and not what ordinarily happens in B.C.” Bennett said. “I think there is a real need now that we are

responding to examine how much we rely on best practices and guide-lines that are established outside the regulator’s domain.”

There has to be more of a cushion in terms of the level of risk as there was when the “terrible and inexcusable accident happened,” he added.

The report is recom-mending all mines with TSFs be required to

have a designated mine dam safety manager and a designated individual to oversee the mine’s water balance and water management plan.

Mines with TSFs will be required to have wa-ter management plans designed by a qualified professional and an independent technical review board will be re-quired for all mines with TSFs.

With social media and the internet so prevalent today, there are many

ways out there to entice you to part with your money. One example is the ad asking you to sends strands of your hair for metal testing. This is not a reliable way to diagnose heavy metals in the body. Blood tests are the only reliable way to determine metal toxicity. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned.The human papilloma virus (HPV) can cause cervical

cancer in women. It can also cause oropharyngeal cancer (throat and mouth) in men and women. There is a vaccine that can go a long way to preventing these cancers and is recommended for girls and it is suggested that boys also receive this vaccine to prevent cancers of the mouth, throat and anus. Recommended age is 12 years. People who suffer from severe allergies can take heart.

There is a new skin patch technology being researched that looks promising. It’s called epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT). It is hoped that it will work well with those with peanut allergies as well as dairy allergies. Research is ongoing. Wine often is part of holiday celebrations. Check the

wine labels for “alcohol content”. It’s not uncommon to find wines with more than the usual 11-12% alcohol... even up to 14%. The same can be true of some beers too. Also, every drink doesn’t have to be alcohol. Try the mix only or a big glass of water. There are many remedies for alcohol overconsumption

but the best is sensible consumption.

City joins Cripps in recognizing heroic effort

Suddenly the vehicle hit a curb and began slowing down.

Custaloe then passed Cripps’ vehicle and pulled into a parking lot.

He got out of his car thinking he’d be able to catch him, but Cripps passed him so he started running down Mackenzie and jumped on the running board.

“His window was open so I could reach

in, and thank God it was automatic so I reached in and threw it into park.”

At the regular city council meeting Tues-day, Custaloe was honoured by the Wil-liams Lake RCMP and Mayor Walt Cobb who presented him with a certificate of recogni-tion.

“Thanks to his quick actions Brady was able to stop any further harm to anyone else,” Cst. Dan Cohen said. “Thank you Brady for

your bravery. This is a little certificate of our appreciation.”

Custaloe’s mother Kathy Bizicki said since the rescue in October, her son and Cripps have become good friends.

“They go for coffee and Brady often gives Wade rides when he needs them. It is a nice friendship for both of them,” Bizicki said.

Custaloe works the graveyard shift at West Fraser Plywood plant as an auto strapper.

That afternoon he was taking his ener-getic dog Thor to stay with a friend so he could catch up on his sleep to do an extra 12-hour shift that night.

“I didn’t think twice, I just acted,” Custaloe said of his actions.

“I am getting all this attention but I want people to know there was a young couple driving the other way that stopped and turned around to help as well. They were great.”

No charges recommended against Mount Polley

In a surprise move the City of Williams Lake is closing the Frizzi Road access

down into the river val-ley this Friday, forcing residents on Moore Mountain to use the gated entrance at the Comer Street parking lot.

“We have had no consultation about this,” said Linda Hil-legeist who has lived off and in an area lo-cally known as Moore Mountain the last 40 years. “You cannot lock people into their homes. We are going to have to use a key to open and close the gate at the parking lot.”

The city’s manager of municipal services Gary Muraca said the decision to close the road is because of safe-ty concerns.

“The road has wash-outs and amongst that we made the determi-nation,” Muraca said.

There was no room for public consultation because the city decid-ed the road is unsafe, he added.

In 2008 a geotechni-cal study determined there were stability is-sues at that time.

Then in the spring of 2015 there were nu-merous washouts that made the road danger-ous, Muraca said.

“When you couple that with winter snow,

ice and large equip-ment, we didn’t feel comfortable maintain-ing the road in the winter. We decided we would do some reas-sessment in the spring and see if we can put some capital funding into the road to make it safer for everyone,” he added.

Residents first be-came aware of the city’s intent to close the road last Friday when one of the residents no-ticed a small note at the bottom of the Moore Mountain Road, which is adjacent to the park-ing lot located in the river valley.

“The note said to contact Gary Muraca at the city to arrange al-ternative access,” Hil-legeist said.

Since the note went up Hillegeist has taken time off work to try and stop the closure, even suggesting that resi-dents would maintain the Frizzi Road access.

“We also suggested the city could put up a sign saying people use the road at their own

risk,” she said, adding many people use the road to recreate in the river valley.

Muraca said the idea isn’t prudent for a mu-nicipality.

“When you close a road you close a road,” he said.

The locked gate will be an inconvenience to the 17 residents, but it is the only solution Muraca said, adding the city is following up on a recommenda-tion from one of the impacted residents that there be a combination lock box at the gate with a key for visitors to Moore Mountain.

The gate at the Com-er entrance is locked because it sits near a railway crossing and there is infrastructure in the river valley that has to be protected, he added.

City crews will plow the road and sand it to the bottom of the Moore Mountain Road.

“I have made provi-sions to hand out keys to all of the residents,” he said.

Viewers can expect an even better show than last year when season three of the HGTV’s hit series Timber Kings premieres in Janu-ary, said Pioneer Log Homes founder and owner Bryan Reid Sr.

“I truly believe this season is going to be better,” Reid said. “It’s the same camera men, the same director and people that started out with us three years ago, so they really know what we’re going to do. They’ve spent as much time with us as some of our apprentices and it really makes better for TV for us, them and the viewer.”

Chuckling Reid said he along with Peter Ar-nold, Beat Schwaller, Joel Roorda, Bryan Reid Jr. and André Chevigny weren’t born with cameras over their shoulders.

“We really set out this season to be more com-fortable in front of the camera,” he added.

The show isn’t script-ed, and happens how it happens, Reid added, noting someone almost drowned in Quesnel River during the filming of an episode.

“It’s not that fun-ny but it was quite an event,” Reid said. “You’ll see that this season but you have to watch for it.”

As for other hints about season three, Reid divulged he was in Russia five times for a house they are building that will be featured.

In another episode Peter Arnold goes to Barkerville and visits Billy Barker’s original mine shaft.

“I found it very in-teresting. That’s in our backyard,” Reid said.

One of the big high-lights will be an episode featuring the log car Reid’s been working on in hopes of setting a Guinness World Record for the world land speed record for a log car.

Manufactured out of a huge cedar log, the car is Reid’s “baby” and he’s put thousands of

hours into it already. The car is ready to

drive but is presently in a shop on Vancouver Is-land having some of the mechanical work done on the turbines.

“I could drive it down the street but it’s not street legal and was never designed to be. Maybe the next one will be as we embark on this new endeavour — the automobile business.”

When asked if he continues to be recog-nized because of the show Reid said he was recently recognized in a restaurant in Almaty, Kazakhstan because the show had aired on TV the night before.

“This man from Ger-many who was there on business came up and told me he wanted us to build him a log house,” Reid said. “I can see be-ing in Florida or Korea and being recognized, but Kazakhstan?”

Pioneer Log Homes continues to be happy to showcase Williams Lake and the type of tradesmen here, and how the company takes

a product built locally to the world.

Reid said if someone had asked him three years ago if they’d get to season three he would have responded they don’t look that far ahead.

“I’ve been told in the TV world if you make it to a third season it’s a solid show. We made it.”

Season three pre-mieres Jan. 3, 2016.

The log car created by Pioneer Log Homes.

The gift of being a Canadian, living in this country, being free, and having the opportu-nity to celebrate Christmas the way we like, is one great gift.

To be able to have big feasts at Christmas time is something we should cherish, because there are many who only have enough food for a meagre sub-sistence and their living condi-tions are not the best.

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars and we could open a jar a week.

Wow! That would be spec-tacular.

You know how people seem

to be more friendly at this time of the year.

If we all had one jar of

Christmas spirit each week, we would happier throughout the year.

I had very happy Christmas seasons growing up in Saska-bush.

There were Santa’s elves rid-ing on horse-drawn sleighs go-ing through our community.

I made calls to Santa Claus 10 days before Christmas and my uncle did a great job of imi-tating St. Nick.

I figured Santa must be pret-ty smart ‘cause he seemed to know a lot about me.

My parents, grandparents, great grandma, uncles and

aunts had so much fun playing up Christmas along with the Santa Claus stuff.

It’s neat to look back at Christmases past and remem-ber a lot of fun times.

We can all be young at heart at Christmas and enjoy Santa, no matter what our physical age may be.

We should be thankful we live in a country where we can choose to celebrate Christmas in the traditional Away in a Manger style and go to church, or not, as we want.

We can choose Christmas cards for inspiration or one that

simply says, “happy holiday.”We should be very thankful

that we can enjoy the Christ-mas season with loved ones, friends and acquaintances and be thankful for this wonderful country and a great Cariboo Chilcotin.

We have so much here and we should really be in the spirit of Christmas, after all it is only next week, when we get to cel-ebrate big time.

Merry Christmas everyone, may your spirit be bright.

Lucky to be able to spend Christmas in Canada

Do your part for safe holiday

Don’t drink and drive. Sad that it must be said every year. Even more disheartening that the message just doesn’t get through.

Every year, in nearly every community, police, victims, families and others plead with the public not to drive while im-paired.

And every year, in nearly ev-ery community, at least one in-cident will be reported of a mo-tor vehicle collision that could have been avoided had alcohol not been involved.

Far too often, that incident will have tragic results.

Families will be destroyed. All for the sake of saving $20.

“I just live around the cor-ner.” “I don’t want to leave my car at the bar.”

“I need my vehicle in the morning.” “I don’t have money for a cab.”

All excuses police have heard before. None of them legiti-mate.

Police in Williams Lake and across the province are into their Christmas season crack-down, promising to be ever-

vigilant in catching impaired drivers.

It’s sad to think that people will consider getting behind the wheel after a night of consum-ing liquor or drugs, despite con-stant reports of deaths caused from such acts.

ICBC notes that impaired driving is still the leading cause of car crashes in B.C. and 27 per cent of vehicle crash fa-talities are related to impaired driving.

According to Statistics Cana-da, impaired driving is the lead-ing cause of criminal death in the country.

Let that sink in for a minute. The leading cause of criminal death in Canada is also so eas-ily preventable.

So, before picking up those keys at the end of the staff holiday party, or a night out with friends, keep this in mind: Someone’s family will be de-stroyed by an impaired driver this Christmas season.

Don’t let one stupid decision make you the cause.

Premier Christy Clark sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview at her Vic-toria office Dec. 9. Here are excerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at www.wl-tribune.com.

TF: At the UN climate con-ference in Paris, did you speak about natural gas as a transi-tion fuel, and did you find sup-port for that idea?PCC: Yes and yes. The new

government in Ottawa is a big supporter of our LNG plan, and part of the reason for that is that they also see it as a way forward for Canada to make a huge contribution to fighting global climate change.

There are 150 coal plants on the books in China today. The only way that those plants and the ones that come after will be stopped is if they have a transi-tional fuel to move to.TF: B.C.’s 2020 greenhouse

gas target, reduction of emis-sions by a third, is another tar-get that isn’t going to be met. Why?PCC: When the government

brought in the carbon tax, it was based on the assumption that other jurisdictions around us were going to eventually catch up. And none of them have.

There comes a point where the carbon tax can only get so high before we start chasing all those jobs out of the province.TF: Your advisory commit-

tee says the carbon tax needs to go higher starting in 2018 if

it’s going to have an effect. Do you have any other choice?PCC: Let’s figure out what

the national goal is going to be, which we don’t know yet.TF: On a related topic, tran-

sit spending. Your new minis-ter Peter Fassbender has talked about a “new day” in Ottawa and he’s downplaying the idea of another referendum for new funding sources. Is that off the table now?PCC: It may be possible that

the federal government wants to invest more in transit, and take up some of the slack from the local government level.TF: On LNG, oil and natural

gas prices continue to go down, and supply continues to go up around the world. Did you see any positive signs this year?PCC: What I saw this year

was developing countries, es-pecially China, making a firm commitment to reduce their emissions. The only way for them to do that is to move to a greater degree to natural gas, and the bulk of their industry is still located on the east coast

of their country, a long way from Russia and close to B.C.TF: Are we going to see some

policy action on high housing costs in 2016, and will there be some relief from the property transfer tax?PCC: You’ll see in the Feb-

ruary budget, but we are look-ing for ways to provide some relief for home buyers.TF: We’re starting to see

government advertising ramp up. We saw a lot of Jobs Plan

advertising before the 2013 election, we saw the federal government do it with their Economic Action Plan, which was very expensive, and to most people’s eye self-serving or political in nature at taxpay-ers’ expense. Is that what we’re going to see in the next year and a half ?PCC: It won’t be political. I

think some of that was, really, political. You will see more information-based advertising

out there, talking to people about for example, the Regis-tered Education Savings Plan.TF: Not Jobs Plan 2.0?PCC: I don’t think that’s in

the plan. I wish I could say to you no, never, but I, you know….

ACTIVE LOGGING

Angie Mindus photoA Tolko Active Logging sign is posted on a tree along the Spokey Hollow/Sinful mountain bike trail network on the west side of the city. Trees have been downed across the trails as the company continues to remove Douglas-fir beetle-infested wood. Trails will be left in a passable condition following completion of salvage harvest activities, the company said.

with Tom Fletcher

Alberta company has variety of income sources from power plantAs I was driving into Williams

lake on a perfectly clear day last Sunday there was a very notice-able smoke and vapour cloud in the Glendale area.

For me it reaffirmed the seri-ousness of the proposal to burn rail ties at the APC power plant.

I think it is useful to look at a similar situation in Whitecourt Alberta (population of 10,000 two hours north of Edmonton). A 25 megawatt plant was con-structed there 20 years ago.

The power plant is part of a complex (Miller Western Forest Products) which also includes a lumber and pulp mill.

The Annual allowable cut (AAC) of two million cubic me-ters of logs supplies 50 per cent lumber, 40 per cent chips (that go to an adjacent pulp mill) and

10 per cent hog fuel (220,000 metric tons for the power plant) which is 10 minutes away.

The plant only burns clean hog fuel (no waste wood with paint or preservatives) and re-ceives renewable energy credits (RECs) for their efforts. As well as income from the elec-tricity produced and the RECs, they sell ash to the farmers in the area as well as receiving a small amount for dealing with the waste wood.

I am sure the burning of rail ties at their facility would com-promise most of these income sources.

The hog fuel produced (10 per cent) is considerably less than that in the Williams Lake situation. If we assume the power plant (APC) and the Pin-nacle Pellet Plant (PPP) get all of their fibre needs from the Williams lake AAC (2.8 to 3.4 million cubic meters depend-ing on what years are used) it turns out to be approximately 23 per cent (i.e. 800 thousand metric tons (600 for APC and 200 PPP).

A higher percentage of Doug-las Fir in the log mix may ac-count for the higher hog fuel percentage or perhaps some chips destined for the pulp mills

may go to the plants.In previous articles, I have

discussed estimates of roadside waste logging material.

With the reduced AAC road-side material could make up for the majority of the loss of mill residue with the biggest concern being the considerable haul distance of some mate-rial. In Whitecourt additional residual wood waste brought in has to be within a 60-kilometre distance from the power plant or the trucking costs start to be uneconomical.

The authors of the WL TSA 2014 discussion paper predict the reduced AAC will be closer to Williams Lake as the beetle killed pine in the western supply blocks will have been harvested.

There may also be consid-

erable roadside waste mate-rial associated with the ongoing Douglas Fir bark beetle which is surrounding Williams Lake.

I am not saying that the APC and PPP are responsible for dealing with all of the roadside logging material but a certain percentage should be used by them.

Before we get committed to taking on a higher percentage of rail road ties we need to look at all options of dealing with the future impacts of the re-duced AAC.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Think about ideas for the future if what you are doing right now does not seem very exciting to you, Aries. A new plan of attack can reinvigorate your motivation.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, focus your energy on home-related projects. Procrastination is your enemy in these circumstances and can staunch any productivity you may have achieved.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, there is a way out of every situation, even if it seems like all exits are blocked. Swallow your pride if need be and accept the help of others when it’s offered.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you will be getting a lot of help with a special project, so expect it to go quite smoothly. Just be sure to pay back the favor when you can.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, a new perspective could help you see that things you thought were a big deal are really mole hills instead of mountains, and that’s an important lesson to learn.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, learn how to deal with conflict in a productive way. Otherwise you may be stressed out and full of angst for no reason at all.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Somehow you always manage to pull through even with a ton of things on your plate, Libra. Even though you are successful, remember to schedule some downtime once in awhile.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Don’t get caught daydreaming too much this week, Scorpio. People at work may think you’re not serious about your efforts when nothing could be further from the truth.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, expect to spend some money this week. Just how much you will spend depends on your ability to find the best bargains and discounts.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20It can be frustrating when others do not seem to understand your motives, Capricorn. Don’t feel pressured to change your way of doing things, especially if it’s working.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, something you have been looking forward to for some time is about to happen. It has been a long time coming but entirely worth it. Enjoy the ride.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, stick up for yourself when you need to. You are your biggest advocate, and you will present a strong front when feeling secure.

SA donations down

Capt. Ben Lippers of the Salvation Army is praying that dona-tions for their Christmas Campaign will improve.

“The community has always been so generous and supportive,” Lip-pers said Thursday, as he picked up toy dona-tions from the Tribune’s Food and Toy Drive.

“We’re just praying they will be again.”

Lippers said the Sal-vation Army is almost entirely reliant on earn-ings from its Thrift Store and Christmas Campaign donations to get it through the year.

The Salvation Army operates the food bank, offers addictions pro-grams and a drop-in centre. It also provides breakfast and lunch five days a week for those in need, serving up 27,500 meals last year alone.

Lippers said Satur-day is Match Day at Walmart in Williams Lake, where the com-pany will match dona-tions made at the store’s Christmas Kettle up to $100,000, and appeals to the community to help those less fortunate by making a cash dona-tion.

On Christmas Day, the Salvation Army will also be preparing a Christmas meal for 200 and urges anyone who may find themselves alone for the holidays to head down to the centre beginning at 11 a.m.

“We don’t want any-one to spend Christmas alone, whether you are a single or a senior, please come. It’s a community dinner.”

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26

Greg Sabatino photoGlen Lyne (from left), Brenda Weekes, Mackenzie Sabatino, 1, Tribune/Advisor production manager Gaylene Desautels, Tribune/Advisor publisher Kathy McLean, Tribune/Advisor office manager Lynn Bolt and Arty the Art Walker Willie Dye help out at the 13th Annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive last Saturday.

Tribune Food and Toy Drive a welcome Christmas tradition

Among all of the toys and gifts donated at the 13th annual Tri-bune Food and Toy Drive was a bright red mountain bike that will go to one lucky teen this Christmas.

Salvation Army Capt. Isobel Lippers said that names of all the teens on their Christmas wish list were put in a box and a draw was made to de-cide which of the teens will receive the bike.

When she saw the bike come through he Salvation Army doors Saturday after the food and toy drive was fin-ished, Lippers, said her first reaction was “wow.”

“We are apprecia-tive and thankful to the community for all of

the donations,” Lippers said.

A total of 38 busi-nesses supported the Tribune’s Food and Toy drive. Each provid-ed gift certificates and gifts to give in exchange for community mem-bers who made dona-tions of food, toys, and funds to help the Salva-tion Army help those less fortunate in our community this Christ-mas.

Three grand prizes were also donated by local businesses for the grand prize draw do-nors were also eligible to enter as part of the campaign.

Florence Doxtator won the round trip for two to Vancouver via Pacific Coastal Air-lines; Phyllis Robinson

won the waterproof heavy duty action cam-era donated by Cana-dian Tire; and William Elkins won the 30-inch sink vanity donated by Allcraft Kitchen En’ Counters.

Five truck loads of toy and food dona-tions were delivered to the Salvation Army in trucks loaned for the day by Cariboo GM.

Members of the Midget Timberwolves team helped Tribunestaff to unload the do-nations at the Salvation Army.

“I’d like to thank the generosity of the many merchants who partici-pated in the 13th annual Tribune Food and Toy Drive,” said Tribune/Weekend Advisor pub-lisher Kathy McLean.

“And a huge shout out to our Midget Timber-wolves Hockey team.”

She said it was also very inspiring to have Salvation Army Cpt. Ben Lippers in atten-dance during the event.

“I just really want to thank the community for their continued sup-port,” Cpt. Ben Lippers said.

McLean agreed that the success of the Tri-bune’s annual Christ-mas food and toy drive wouldn’t be pos-sible without all of the wonderful people who make the donations of food, toys, and money for the program.

“We are blessed to live in such a wonderful community,” McLean says. “Merry Christmas to all.”

Christmas: not about being good

PARSONS PENBY JEREMY VOGT

Change after Dec. 23

If you have questions please call or e-mail Jeremy Vogt, who serves with the Cariboo Bethel Church. 250-267-4998, [email protected]

In a recent segment on “The View” (an American network television morning show), the hosts discussed anti-Christmas billboards that have recently been sponsored by American Atheists. The conversation among the hosts quickly turned toward religion and the Bible’s core message about Jesus. Here is a thread of this conversation from a news article written on theblaze.com: “‘And it is about being good,’ Symone (one of the hosts) said. ‘And that’s what all religions are about anyway, be a good person.’ But Faris (another host) pushed back against that sentiment, separating Christianity from this characterization. ‘Not Christianity. By grace through faith you have been saved,’ Faris said. ‘It’s nothing that we can do.’”

Stop right here, just for a moment. Do you agree with Raven-Symone? Do you believe that all religions are basically the same, attempting to help us ‘be good’? Does Faris’ ‘push back’ seem unnecessarily narrow to you?

In case you don’t quite grasp what Faris is trying to say, let’s summarize the Bible’s message about God and Humans. The Bible claims that Humans were created in God’s image and

designed for relationship with Him. However, we are now lost, separated from life with God by the effects of our sin (rebellion against God). “Being good” cannot bring us close to God, save us from the righteous judgement of God, or cancel the results of our sin. Only God can save us. God did this by sending Jesus. Jesus, who is ‘Immanuel’ (God With Us), took our sin upon himself. He suffered the judgement and effects of our sin when he died on the cross. We are saved from sin and death and given new life when we put our faith (active trust) in Jesus and what he accomplished through the cross. We don’t earn salvation

by being good—Salvation is the result of God’s kindness and love and grace. This is what Faris meant.

Faris’ ‘push back’ against Raven-Symone’s generalization IS narrow. It has to be, because the message about Jesus is a narrow claim about what is True. Raven-Symone, as nice as she sounds, is wrong. All religions are not the same, and it is time to admit it. Every religion is making claims about God and Humans. Many of their major claims about what is true disagree with each other. And mutually-exclusive claims of truth cannot all be True.

Every Christmas season is another opportunity to examine the truth claims about the historical birth of Jesus in the town of Nazareth more than 2000 years ago. The Christmas story, and the Bible’s message, is NOT about how to be a good person and it’s NOT the same as every other religion. It’s a claim of truth about the goodness of one God. Christmas is about the loving actions of God through Jesus to restore us to relationship with Himself and to give us new life. Please take time this season to hear the story, to examine the claims, and to carefully consider God’s kindness and love toward us.

New Year’s party helps to support Mt. Timothy Ski AreaThe Mt. Timothy Ski

Society and Ski Patrol is inviting the community to join them in ringing in 2016 at their annual New Year’s Apres Ski Party and Fundraiser.

The dinner, dance and silent auction scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 31 at the Elk’s Hall promises to be a great party and fun way to help support

the Mt. Timothy Ski Area, says event spokes-person Tera Grady.

Last year she says the party raised more than $8,000 with just over 100 people in at-tendance.

Ticket prices were lowered this year to make the event more af-fordable for more peo-ple to enjoy.

Instead of $75, tickets are $65 which includes a roast beef dinner with all the trimmings, a des-sert table, party favours and after a night of dancing to Crank It Up DJ services a buffet of midnight snacks.

The fully stocked bar will include free non-alcoholic beverages for the designated drivers.

“There will also be a drink special,” adds Grady.

Among the silent auc-tion items is a log bench donated by Pioneer Log Homes.

“Local business own-ers are being very sup-portive, and TRUE Consulting sponsored the hall rental for us again this year,” Grady

says.Funds raised by the

party event are divided between the ski society to maintain the ski lifts and the hill, and the vol-unteer Ski Patrol.

She says the Ski Pa-trol is entirely support-ed by fundraising.

This year she says the Ski Patrol applied for and received a por-

table defibrillator from the Heart and Stroke Foundation which has a value of approximately $2,000.

“That was a great help,” Grady says.

The Ski Patrol also has needs for supplies such as splints, bandag-es, radios, rescue tobog-gans, and uniforms for the volunteer ski patrol-

lers. She urges people to

get their tickets early as they are going quickly.

Tickets are available at Spa Naturally, Bob’s, Raymond James and Chiropractic Associ-ates.

When those shops are closed Grady asks people to call for tickets at 250-305-7688.

Grazing Horizons✦ THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE ✦

Sleigh rides and the origin of traditionAs I write this I am

overlooking the very field from which come my earliest memories of horse drawn sleigh rides come.

As a child I would see the ranch hands at the 150 Ranch heading out into the field to load hay.

Once I caught the sleigh I was often hand-ed the driving lines.

Of course I thought I was pretty big driving the heavy team of work-horses.

Little did I know that they really drove them-selves, knowing the route and pattern from daily repetition.

Later the hands showed me how to tie up the lines on the crow’s nest (a tee at the top of the hayrack), loose enough so the horses could have enough free rein to pull the sleigh.

The other memo-ries stem from the fun we had at the Onward

Ranch when our friends the Cornwalls would have their open house on Boxing Day.

We would always try to get dad and mom to go early enough to catch Hugh Cornwall as he went out to feed cows with the team and sleigh.

Our greatest excite-ment came when we hitched our toboggans to the back of the sleigh.

When we had our own place many years later and were working horses we found that our chil-dren and their friends had so much fun doing that.

So we decided we

could have some fun if we invited the commu-nity and friends to join us. One year the sow pig came along although she wouldn’t ride on the sleigh.

For 36 years we had between two and four teams of horses and guest teamsters join us. A tradition by now long established.

Regrettably, when one of our team horses died this fall, we were tearless. It has also been an ex-tremely busy fall. So we decided to take a break this year, disappointing though it is.

I look forward to re-

booting this tradition in the years to come

Winter Carnival volunteers neededA crew of enthusi-

astic volunteer event leaders are now in place to spearhead the second annual Williams Lake Winter Carnival coming up January 30/31, 2016 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day in Boitanio Park.

Volunteers are

needed to help with snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snow art contests, the chili cookoff, the sledding hill, First Nations tee pee, igloo building and other activities planned for the car-nival.

People who would like to help out with

the Winter Carnival can contact the event

president Darrick Boyes 250-305-8119.

WLCBIA president Angie Delainey pres-ents the Winter Lights Festive Food and Drink Challenge winner in the Gourmet Hot Chocolate category to Trattoria Pasta Shoppe owner Archie Dicecco.

The Winter Lights Festive Food and Drink Challenge hosted by the WL-CBIA highlighted some of the delight-ful tasty treats res-taurants in the city’s downtown core have whipped up for the holiday season.

Each of the 13 par-ticipating restaurants, bars and cafés had

ballots and a ballot box.

The challenge was launched Dec 4 and ran until Dec. 11 with customers rating fes-tive menu items on a scale of one to five snowflakes.

Joey’s Grill won the Festive Decadent Dessert category with it’s popular Pumpkin Chiffon Pie.

The Hobbit House won the Festive Drink or Cocktail category with with their Holi-day Hobbit Nog.

Trattoria Pasta Shoppe won the Gourmet Hot Choc-olate category with their special Hot Choco Chi treat.

South 2nd Deli won the Festive Meal cate-gory with their festive Turkey Brie Sandwich presentation.

Hong Sheng Res-taurant won the Fes-tive Appetizer cate-gory with their Garlic Chicken dish.

Having a client ar-rive in the middle of the night recently with-out wearing a jacket or shoes and in the throws of addiction just highlights some of the many needs in the community, said Crys-tal Williams, shelter case manager for the Cariboo Friendship Society.

That’s why when people like the Bux-baum family of Good Guys Gardening dropped by the shel-ter recently to donate much-needed warm clothing, they were greeted with such ap-preciation from the staff.

“It’s a blessing,” Williams said of the donation of seven contractor-sized bags filled with clean jack-ets, toques, sweaters, gloves and hoodies and one more filled just with stuffies.

“There’s a lot of need for warm clothing ... let’s face it, no one wakes up one day and

thinks they are going to end up in a shelter.”

Williams said ad-dictions and mental illness, or a combina-tion of the two, drive people to access com-munity supports like the Friendship Soci-ety’s shelter. A lack of affordable housing and the high cost of food just adds to the prob-lem.

Buxbaum said he was always raised to help those less fortu-nate and has been col-lecting clothing dona-tions in Williams Lake for years. Now that he has young children himself, Buxbaum said it’s especially impor-tant to teach the value of charity to his young children, Lucas and Isabella.

“She’s starting to understand the con-cept, and I hope that long after I’m gone she will carry on the work. It’s important to give back. It’s the right thing to do.”

The Cariboo Friend-ship Society accepts donations Monday to Friday at their office, located across from Paradise Theatre.

you could WIN A PIZZAIf you are a Tribune Reader Brides & Belles ready for the party

Making your special day beautiful, afford-able and truly memora-ble is the goal of Brides & Belles owner Kim Futcher, who caters to curvy girls of all sizes.

A steady stream of satisfied customers, along with a recent move to a new location on Oliver Street has re-sulted in exciting new growth for the store.

“This is where you can get everything you need for your wedding. I have a seamstress on call to make your gown custom perfect for you,” Futcher said.

“The only full service bridal shop between Prince George and Ka-mloops, we can save you stress and save you money and help make your special day as beautiful as is can be.”

The downtown store carries bridal gowns,

prom and evening gowns, girls’ dresses from three months to 16 years, winter formal dresses, bridesmaids’ dresses, and dresses for the mothers of the bride and groom.

You can also find things such as cake top-pers and accessories like

shawls, jewellery, flower girl baskets, gloves, ex-quisitely painted ever-lasting roses made from birch, tiaras, hair fasci-nators, belts and bridal sashes.

Brides & Belles has a lovely, relaxed atmo-sphere, and Futcher re-serves the days the shop is closed for one-on-one fittings for clients.

“You can bring in your friends or family members — even your whole bridal party — to try on dresses and find everything you need. People love this: they like coming here, try-ing on dresses, laughing and telling stories and having fun. It’s like a little party,” Futcher ex-plained.

“It’s always good

to have another set of eyes. Your friends and family members know you better than anyone, and they can help you decide on colour, style, fabric and accessories.”

One of the things that sets this store apart is the belief that curvy girls deserve beauty and elegance, too.

“I want them to be able to shop for a qual-ity dress because of its own merit, not because it’s in the ‘big’ rack. We cater to all tastes and all sizes, curvy girls from size 0-30. ‘He fell in love with you,’ I like to say, ‘not a size.’

“We’re just as spe-cial as anyone else, and that’s what I want every-one to feel who comes through my door,” she

continued. She said that there

are certainly challenges. “When it comes to

suppliers I work hard to make sure I keep af-fordable. Another chal-lenge is when a bride comes in and asks if I’ve seen something on ‘Say Yes to the Dress,’” she laughed.

Brides & Belles is flexible, affordable and practical, and focused on quality and top-notch customer service.

“To me, customer service means greeting people with a smile and giving them the best shopping experience possible.

“Sometimes it means sending people some-where else; I’ve had people come back and say thank you for that. My customers also love that I have quality prod-ucts and popular lines.

“I want customers to walk out of here feeling satisfied and happy that they found what they were looking for and had a great experience,” she added.

“When people are happy, I’m happy.”

For more informa-tion drop by the store at 160 Oliver Street, phone 250-267-8131, e-mail [email protected] or visit them on Facebook.

Through this proj-ect, the Royal Bank of Canada partners with the NHT by pledging to match every dollar donated with 50 cents. Any-one wanting to make a donation can visit thisplacematters.ca, choose the Potato House Project and click “FUND THIS PROJECT.”

The goal is to reach $15,000.

District, the City of Williams Lake, the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Soci-

ety, and the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Ac-tion Coalition.

These funds have

built the compost facility, refurbished the gardens, and will help to rebuild the

house into safe and functional office and meeting space as a mini community hall.

Angie Mindus photoThe Potato House, located beside Caribou Ski on First Avenue, is all decked out in Christmas lights. The Potato House Community Sustainability Society is also using the festive season to promote a fundraising campaign for the heritage house called This Place Matters.

In a sport where potential danger lies in every corner, learning to trust rival drivers can go a long way.

That’s precisely what hap-pened during this year’s racing season at Thunder Mountain Speedway when Cole Byrd and Kane Fraser, in a battle for the top spot in the 2015 Street Stock Points Championship, earned each other’s respect.

Byrd would edge Fraser by four points to win the title but, in each other’s minds, they’re both winners.

“At the last race of the year I was by myself unloading my trailer and Cole came over with his crew member to help me unload and get my car ready for the race,” said Fraser in an emotional awards acceptance speech.

“Here is a guy that is in a points race with me, three points ahead, anyone’s race, and Cole is helping me get ready to possibly beat him. That is

truly the heart of a champion and that is why my friend Cole Byrd is No. 1. I could not lose to a better man and am happy that we have raced together so

well.”Fraser, incidentally, is a para-

plegic and on his days off for the past two years has traded in his wheelchair for the driver

seat using hand controls in-stead of standard foot pedals.

With more than 20 years in the ski indus-try spanning locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, Mt. Timothy Ski Area’s new general manager Caroline Sherrer is excited to be back at a smaller, family-oriented ski hill.

“I started out in Or-egon, then moved into Colorado, then eventu-

ally made it to Silver Star in B.C.,” she said, adding she’s moved to Mt. Timo-thy from her most recent position in Valemount.

Sherrer said the very first hill she worked at was a community ski hill and that’s what prompted her to stay in the industry.

“I’ve worked at all sizes but I really enjoy the smaller hills,” she said, noting this is her first gen-eral manager position.

“You’re not just stuck

in one job. You know ev-erybody.

“I’m very excited and it’s a neat thing having a community non-profit ski hill. Everybody’s putting a lot of time and effort in and it’s a good thing for the community.”

Mt. Timothy Ski Area is slated to have a soft opening today, Dec. 18.

“The T-bar will be run-ning Friday with regular operating hours,” she said.

On Saturday, Dec. 19, the chairlift will be oper-ating.

“We’ll continue to be open right on through the holidays,” Sherrer said, adding the hill will be open every day, except Christmas day, until Jan. 3.

Mt. Timothy Ski Area is also introducing a new head chef, Mike Sonier, this season.

Sonier, originally from New Brunswick, and his

company, Edible Coast, support local farmers, lo-cal suppliers and utilize sustainable products in its dishes.

Also, Mt. Timothy Ski Area is currently offering a 30 to 50 per cent off sale in its pro shop.

For hours of operation and more information on the hill visit www.skitim-othy.com. The ski hill also operates a Facebook page featuring snow reports at “Mt. Timothy Ski Area.”

Drivers earn each other’s respect

Fraser was away in Virginia during TMS’s annual awards ban-quet in late October but received his sea-son awards Wednes-day: the second place street stock driver, the most improved driver for the second year in a row and the most supportive driver in all classes.

Fraser was inspired

to try the sport by a friend, Derek Chris-tianson, after watching him race in Quesnel.

Byrd, meanwhile, has been racing for three years.

“There was quite the friendly rivalry be-tween us,” Fraser said. “Cole and I were so close it really wasn’t about beating each other and that made it interesting. We can trust each other when we’re side by side and

I have no problem los-ing if they’re going to beat me legit. We could be at the back of the pack and it’s still fun.”

Cole echoed Fraser’s comments.

“I enjoyed it all season and I’m glad we had such a great run,” he said, and also thanked his wife, Mon-ica Sellars, for being so supportive.

“This was the first year I made every

race.”On winning the most

supportive driver, Fra-ser said it’s an honour.

“It makes you hum-ble for your peers to think that,” he said. “I’m grateful for that award.”

While absent from the awards banquet, TMS past president Tim Westwick read Fraser’s acceptance speech. As Fraser’s penned letter was read there wasn’t a dry eye

in the house.“I’m sure if I was

here I would be chok-ing on my words and [I’m] crying as I’m writing this,” his letter read.

“I just want to say thank you for a really great race season, lots of fun. I really appre-ciate all of you and am grateful for the contri-bution all of you make to our track, to each other, to our fans and to our community.”

Bantam reps go unbeaten during weekend

The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves went unbeaten during the weekend following back-to-back double headers.

On Saturday the T-wolves hosted Prince George and skated away with two victories — 5-4 in game one and 7-5 in game two.

Jake Jackson and Brendan Pigeon both tallied twice in game

one, while Lane Paddi-son added another.

In game two Jack-son potted another two goals and had an assist, while Raeyden Beau-champ (2G), Pigeon, Andy Berkelaar and Cade Enns notched singles.

On Sunday Williams Lake tied Quesnel at home, 8-8, then ham-mered their northern rivals, 10-1, in the fol-

lowing game.Pigeon (2G), Beau-

champ (2G), Justin Swan, Tristan Takats, Tanner Hooper and Paddison all scored in game one.

Later in the after-noon Pigeon (2G), Jus-tin Swan (2G), Brody Conroy, Sebastien Gra-cia, Paddison, Hooper, Beauchamp and Jack-son lit the lamp in the 10-1 win.

Pigeon also added another four assists to record six points in the game.

The Williams Lake Bantam Timberwolves will now travel to West Kelowna for its last tournament before Christmas.

On Friday, Dec. 18, Williams Lake opens its tournament taking on Trail, then plays South Okanagan in the evening. Saturday, Wil-liams Lake faces Ver-non.

After Christmas the

T-wolves will travel to Kamloops for the Ka-mloops International

Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3.

Ho Ho Ho! It’s only one week until Christmas and less than two weeks until the New Year!

I can not believe how quickly a year slides by! I always think about the wonderful things families do together over the holi-day, skiing, snowboard-ing, sledding, fishing, snowshoeing, skating, making goodies, playing games, getting that per-fect tree! (these are only just a few).

When my children were small I was not able to go out and get a tree with them but a very spe-cial friend of mine ( Bob Johnson) would get two trees and leave them at our house every year!

My family and I would decorate one together in our living room and the other, my three sons spent hours at the kitchen table as I baked goodies making the most amazing Christmas decorations, then the boys put the tree up right there in the big old kitchen and we enjoyed it over the holi-days and for Christmas Dinner.

This tree was always special and almost every year I saved a decoration from it and put it up on our tree today, it brings back wonderful thoughts of them when they were little, sometimes I feel I can still see all there little smiles and here them gig-gling!

The holidays are so special in many ways, a time to spend time with friends and family and share with others, talk-ing about old times, sing-ing , sleigh rides, bonfires with mulled wine and hot chocolate! I hope you share in some wonderful times over the season!

December was a busy month in Horsefly The WI (Women’s Institute) had their luncheon and it was amazing again. The money raised from this luncheon goes to the Horsefly graduates for

bursaries! The Old Fashioned

Christmas was a huge success even without snow, an amazing din-ner, entertainment, a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Claus, wagon rides and a bon-fire by the big Horsefly Christmas tree.

The Old Fashioned Christmas has been hap-pening for many years, it is an amazing event for all to share in, this event would not happen with-out the countless hours of people in our community volunteering and organiz-ing everything to make it the success it is. So thank you to all who donated your time, you are a won-derful group of people!

Seniors group in Horsefly put on an amaz-ing dinner on the 15 of December!

Tomorrow on the 19 of December the Anvil Pub has a Christmas Buffet and a Christmas Open Mic with Oren Barter. Crystal still has some room left at the pub for New Years Eve dinner, so reserve now!

I was not able to get all the details for the up and coming month of January from Crystal so just give her a call to find out what’s coming

up 250-620-3323. Now would be a great time to reserve for Valentines Day at the pub!

The Cariboo Christian Church in Horsefly will be having a Christmas Eve Service and all are welcome! For times call Dorothy Jones 250-620-6801 or Cindy Issac 250-620-3779.

Well as the season comes to a close I know our local merchants wish you and you families all the best for a wonderful New Year!

From myself and my family Merry Christmas. I hope you all keep read-ing for 2016!

So until then Cheers Dianna

BASEMENT ENTRY HOME

A handsome two-storey structure with a glass-fenced deck spanning part of the facade, this three-bedroom home features nine-foot ceilings throughout the living area, as well as an unfinished basement with room for a fourth bedroom, as well as a mortgage-helper or in-law suite.

Entry is via a covered porch and veranda on the ground floor. To the left of the foyer, through French doors, is a den that is ideally located to serve as a home office. To the right is a spacious coat closet; while directly ahead is an L-shaped staircase to the upper floor.

The main/upper floor includes a large great room that overlooks the front garden. With a gas fireplace

and sliding doors that open to the covered deck, this room is open to the dining area and the kitchen.

The optional buffet in the dining area will provide serving and storage space, and the kitchen features an L-shaped counter configuration for step-saving efficiency. An angled prep island with a four-seat eating bar separates the kitchen from the rest of the living area.

In the sleeping wing, the master bedroom overlooks the front garden and includes a walk-in closet with a small window. Natural light will also illuminate the four-piece en-suite, which boasts a soaker tub with its own window.

The second and third bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is situated outside

the third bedroom, across from the railing protecting the stairwell, part of which is open to the foyer below.

On the exterior, quadruple wooden pilasters with brick bases mark the entrance, with another single pilaster at the end of the veranda. Similar pilasters set off the second-floor balcony.

Horizontal siding contrasts with the vertical woodwork on the garage doors.

Wood shingles and decorative woodwork ornament the gables.

This home measures 46 feet wide by 44 feet deep, for a total of 1,460 square feet of living space, not including the basement.

Plans for design 2-3-754 are available for $625 (set of 5), $710(set of 8) and $778 for a super set of 10. B.C. residents add 7% Prov.

Sales Tax. Also add $35.00 for Priority courier charges within B.C. or $65.00 outside of B.C. Please add 5% G.S.T. or 13% H.S.T. (where applicable) to both the plan price and postage charges.

REMEMBER YOUR LOVED ONES250-392-2331

KEITH IAIN SHELLEYAugust 30, 1985 – December 21, 2013Beloved Son, Brother, Grandson & Nephew

Lost in grief, impenetrable and deep. For many a day I could not sleep. I closed my eyes, was late one night, within a heartbeat, my dreams took flight. I saw your face, your eyes, your smile, I held you close, we talked a while. I told you how I missed you so. And did not understand why you had to go. You said it was your time to pass, the sand ran through the hour glass. That each of us burns long or bright, until we disappear from sight. You told me I must laugh and cry, I should not let life pass me by. That I must let go of the past, and hold sweet memories in my heart. There would be joys, there would be sorrows, but most of all, there would be tomorrows. I didn’t want the dream to end, it felt as though I was losing you again. You gave me one last longed for smile, I knew then, it would be a while, until we met and embraced again, but that I would live and love till then. All of our love to you my sweet boy forever & always; Mom, Eric, brother Eric, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Iain & Uncle Sean xoxo.
