SD 27 board checks over Initial Options list

School District 27 trustees were busy making a list and checking it twice Tuesday eve-ning in anticipation of making some final decisions in January around possible school clo-sures in the district.

During a special board meet-ing to discuss public feedback to its Initial Options Report on reconfiguration of schools in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House, the trustees made a se-ries of motions directing staff to research some of the pub-lic’s comments and report back as early as possible.

“The motions were based on reports and what we’ve heard so far from the public,” said su-perintendent of schools Mark Thiessen.

Staff will look at a grade 7-12 configuration in a one school, two campus, model for Williams Lake, as well as the logistics of a 7-9 and 10-12

configuration.“I went into this thinking I

wanted a pure middle school and pure high school, but due to the fact that what we would lose with the ability of flexibil-ity and choices of electives, I would like it that students go back and forth,” trustee Sheila Boehm said.

Trustee Tanya Guenther agreed saying both high schools have lots to offer and the one school two campus model will allow students to have the best advantage.

“I find it difficult to think of one being for younger grades and one for older grades be-cause students can benefit from both.”

It will look at the possibility of moving all the students from Kwaleen elementary school, if it should close, to Chilcotin Road elementary school.

The board wanted to know how many portables the site can support.

Another query was for an up-

dated report on enrollment and capacity of all the buildings, which secretary-treasurer Bon-nie Roller said the final figures were just made available to the district in November.

“The board previously used numbers from September 2011/2012. September 2012’s number will now be the base.”

There was a discussion around school of choices being housed in the existing Williams Lake secondary school build-ing, but eventually the board said no to the idea.

Wildwood bussing routes and the length of time students would spend riding buses was an issue, so the board asked for research on turning Wildwood into a one-room school, K-3, with a capped enrollment of 22 students.

Trustee Sheila Boehm, based on public feedback, asked about the possibility of Glen-dale students, remaining in the year-round school calen-dar in portables at Cataline

Cariboo Regional Dis-trict Chair Al Richmond presented his annual year-end address during the regular CRD meet-ing, Dec. 14.

“…today, I have the distinct pleasure of re-viewing the Cariboo Regional District’s key accomplishments and successes for 2012,” Richmond said in his report provided by CRD staff.

“Looking back over the past year, our re-gion can be proud of its achievements.” The year started with town hall meetings in January and February throughout the 12 electoral areas and the four member munici-palities during which the proposed 2012 budget was presented to resi-dents for feedback before being adopted at the end of March.

In May of 2012, the CRD and the District of 100 Mile House hosted representatives of the North Central Local Government Association who congregated in 100 Mile House for the asso-ciation’s annual meeting and convention.

Under the theme of the Log Home Capi-tal, delegates and their partners were hosted to some great workshops, business sessions and of course some spectacular entertainment and social events.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to again thank the many volunteers from South Cariboo who dedicated their time and efforts to make this event success-ful,” Richmond said.

Richmond said one of the highlights of the North Central Lo-cal Government Asso-ciation convention was when CRD director/100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall was elected as the new NCL-GA president.

“Overall, the NCLGA was an extremely suc-cessful event for the

CRD and the District of 100 Mile House, and most importantly the re-gion,” Richmond said.

In June, the CRD board and staff travelled to Barkerville.

During the two-days of meetings, the CRD held the first joint meet-ing with the Regional District of Fraser Fort George and signed the Barkerville Accord – a document which com-mits both local govern-ments to work in collab-oration to address issues of mutual concern, and to promote the sustain-ability and economic vi-brancy of the north cen-tral interior of BC.

The traditional Board on the Road Barbeue was put on in support of the Barkerville’s 2012, 150th anniversary cel-ebration.

Over the summer months the Cariboo Re-gional District lobbied for our region on two critical issues including a presentation in Prince George to the provincial committee regarding the Timber Supply on July 5, Richmond said.

Many of the recom-mendations coming out of the final report published by the com-mission included CRD recommendations such as using a science based approach, promoting utilization of marginally economic forest lands, better fibre utilization and more.

The second issue was focused on the proposed federal electoral bound-aries redistribution. Again, the CRD lobbied with a strong voice at the public consultation meet-ing held in Prince George on Sept. 17.

“On Sept. 13 and 14, we were on the road again with our second of two Board on the Road meetings for 2012 – this time Kersley was our destination,” Richmond said. “On Thursday, dur-ing the community bar-becue, we also took the

opportunity to celebrate director Ted Armstrong’s 35th anniversary as the CRD representative for Electoral Area A and Kersley.

In September 2012, CRD directors attended the Union of British Co-lumbia Municipalities conference in Vancouver.

During the conven-tion, nine of 10 CRD resolutions saw success on the resolution floor, Richmond says.

“The CRD, along with the District of 100 Mile House, the City of Ques-nel, the District of Wells and the City of Williams Lake and our neigh-bours from the Regional District of Fraser Fort George and the City of

Prince George, lobbied provincial ministries,” Richmond said.

“One such meeting was with Premier Christy Clark and the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Responsible for Labour, the Honourable Pat Bell.

“During this session, the CRD discussed its Strong Regions report and the need for in-creased alternative rev-enue streams for local governments. The prov-ince has committed to working with the CRD to potentially act upon some of the recommen-dations laid out in the report.”

The CRD also met with the Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the Honourable Steve Thomson to discuss the Cedar Dam on Nina Lake.

Cariboo Chilcotin Re-gional Hospital District (CCRHD) Chair, John Massier and staff also had the opportunity to meet with the Minister of Health, the Honourable Dr. Margaret MacDiar-mid to ensure the Cari-boo Memorial Hospital Master Plan be given

priority, reported Rich-mond.

“Our success was not limited to the resolutions or minister meetings ei-ther, as three members of the CRD board of direc-tors were elected to the UBCM executive board including Quesnel Direc-tor, Mayor Mary Sjos-trom as president; my-self, Chair Al Richmond as third vice-president.

100 Mile House Direc-tor, Mayor Mitch Camp-sall was also appointed to the UBCM Executive as the NCLGA representa-tive,” Richmond said.

“We will continue to follow up with the issues discussed at UBCM, and will collaborate with our regions’ provincial MLAs and federal MPs to ensure the people of the CRD have a voice in Victoria and Ottawa.”

In 2012, the CRD suc-cessfully applied to a number of different pro-vincial and federal fund-ing programs such as the Building Canada Fund, the Towns for Tomor-row program, Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Community Tourism Opportunities program and UBCM’s Fuel mitigation fund.

new wireless coverage along Highway 97 Telus has launched

new wireless coverage for residents, business-es and travellers along Highway 97 near Wil-liams Lake, thanks to a partnership between the company and the prov-ince of British Colum-bia.

The 13-kilometre coverage area spans from just north of Chief

Will-Yum campground to south of Soda Creek, Shawn Hall, Telus com-munications said Tues-day.

“It’s a $835,000 in-vestment, in an urban area, the cost would be around $500,000 for the same distance,” Hall told the Tribune.

“What that tells you is this is a big challenging site. We had to run pow-er and our infrastructure into the site after envi-

ronmental reviews and everything, this was a substantial undertak-ing.”

A new cell tower was installed on Crown land, off a logging road near Lyne Creek Road, over the last several weeks, Hall explained.

“It’s a long process to put a site in. We have to identify where the best site is by the maximum amount of coverage. That can be a challenge

depending on the geog-raphy.”

If areas are rocky and mountainous, the line-of-sight technology needs to find a site that has the best view into as much highway as pos-sible.

Then the installer needs to find a landlord that’s interested in host-ing a site. Sometimes that’s a municipal or provincial government or sometimes that’s a

private landlord.Hall confirmed Telus

is continuing to look at expanding wireless ac-cess along Highway 97, as part of a $350 mil-lion 10-year Connecting British Columbia project signed with the province of B.C. to extend more telecommunications in-frastructure around the province that will in-clude providing wireless coverage along 1,700 ki-lometres of currently un-

served highway corridor.In rural areas where

wired internet service is not “do-able” people are finding that wireless in-ternet service is a great alternative, he added.

“In some areas, it’s easier to put up a wire-less site. You can get in-ternet speeds wirelessly that are comparable to what you get with a wired service in your wall now over the HSAP network.”

Part of the push for better service has come from the public.

“With more than 60 per cent of 911 calls to-day coming in over wire-less phones, there’s an important public safety aspect here. These tow-ers have the potential to save lives if people need to access emergency services while they are in rural areas or driving along the highway,” Hall said.

Wife tossesmarijuanain court

The provincial court-house in Williams Lake took an unexpected twist after one man’s com-mon-law wife tried to ensure he had some en-tertainment while in jail, said the Williams Lake RCMP.

During the man’s hear-ing on Dec. 18, for nu-merous outstanding war-rants, his partner took the opportunity to throw an approximately 30 gram bag of marijuana into the prisoner’s box where he was seated.

The incident was wit-nessed by those in the courtroom and she was

arrested at the scene for trafficking.

“In my time as police officer I’ve seen, and heard of a number of odd criminal offences but I have to admit this is defi-nitely one of the stranger ones,” said Inspector Warren Brown, officer in charge of Williams Lake RCMP Detachment.

“It’s important for people to remember that drug trafficking charges are very serious. Hope-fully this woman will learn her lesson and not commit other crimi-nal acts in the future,” Brown added.

Creating two tier system concerns trustee“If anything were to

happen, we’d still be sued. Liability is there regardless of what’s going on. That’s why we took the play-ground out of the Pop-lar Glade school site,” Roller explained. Children were using

the playground there, but it was becoming unsafe.

Bussing was also discussed and board chair William Van Osch’s motion direct-ing staff to look at charging parents for bussing if their chil-dren are attending a school of choice, rath-er than in their catch-

ment, was passed una-naimously.

“I would like staff to look at how many stu-dents could be charged and what would be a reasonable rate,” he said.

Boehm, however, said she worried about creating a two-tier sys-tem where only par-ents that can afford

it would be able to choose which school their children attend.

There were also con-cerns about how much time will be needed to make the transition to one high school, two campuses in Williams Lake and asked staff to determine what at a six-month imple-mentation would look

like or the option of a staged approach.

“There will be a huge amount of change happening and we want to make sure it’s happening in the best way,” said trustee Guenther.

The next special board meetings will take place Jan. 8 at PSO in 100 Mile

House and Jan. 15 at the board office in Williams Lake, where the board will contin-ue its deliberations on options. On Jan. 22, final decisions will be made, and on Jan. 29 the board will hold its regular meeting.

Research will focus on the possibility of going grade 8 – 12 in

100 Mile House.“In the Initial Op-

tions Report it was proposed to go 9-12 and K-8, but they asked district staff to-night to research the possibility of K-7 and 8-12 all at Peter Skene Ogden,” Thiessen said. Right now grade 8-12 is at two separate schools.

Chilcotin community forest thriving

The Eniyud Commu-nity Forest (ECF) is an-other great example of First Nations and non-First Nations working together to improve the economic situation in the region, said Tsi Del Del (Alexis Creek) chief Percy Guichon.

“We all hear nega-tive things in the news about First Nations not supporting New Pros-perity mine, but there are other good things happening that peo-ple are not aware of,” Guichon said. “This community forest has provided economic opportunities and it is looking after the forest for the benefit of future generations.”

Recently ECF com-pleted its first year of harvesting with opera-tions beginning in mid-June and ramping up to full production in July.

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 81,000 cubic metres of wood was removed from a 371-hectare area in the western portion of the forest. Sales went to West Fra-ser Mills of Williams Lake, valued $4.4 mil-lion, with $2.8 mil-lion retained as local income, providing a “huge economic boost to the area,” said ECF manager Dave Neads.

West Fraser also pro-vided valuable assis-tance in many opera-tional areas, he added.

Nearly 50 per cent of the hauling went to lo-cal contractors and all phases of the harvest-ing were done by Tsi Del Del Enterprises, hiring local expertise to build block roads, operate equipment for felling, skidding, pro-cessing and loading, while providing on-site management, including temporary deactivation of the road systems.

“Tsi Del Del has about 30 employees — a mix of local First Na-tions and non-First Na-tions neighbours in the area,” Guichon said, adding “a lot” of the truck drivers and some of the contractors are from Williams Lake.

Additionally, several local tourism operators housed and fed crews, while layout, cruis-ing and planning were largely done by con-tractors from Redstone and the surrounding area, Neads said.

Formed in 2007, ECF is a limited com-pany and joint part-nership between the Alexis Creek First Na-tion and Tatla Resource Association, each own-ing 50 per cent of the company.

Guichon said his community also has a

role ensuring ECF is successful.

“We have three mem-bers from our commu-nity on the board of directors, there are an-other three from Tatla Resource Association. We provide input on all aspects of the commu-nity forest operations at a strategic level.”

The forest stretches from a point five to 10 kilometres east of Redstone west to Tat-la Lake, covering an area of approximately 115,000 hectares.

“It’s kind of a nar-row strip and then it goes down into Tatla. It’s kind of an odd-shaped area,” Guichon explained.

Logging was careful-ly monitored with a full range of trees being harvested, from the ma-jority being poor qual-ity beetle killed trees at lower elevations to older green trees higher up the mountain, pre-dominantly Engelmann spruce and a little bit of fir.

All silviculture ob-ligations have been assumed by the ECF, with monies set aside per cubic metre to cov-

er costs as they arise. “We will be doing

surveys and have al-ready done a post-har-vest survey, which is a requirement. We’ve taken roads to de-activation, conducted burning and have silvi-culture plans in place,” Neads said.

The community for-est was 10 years in the making, after a “full-on” community consul-tation process.

“We spent a long time meeting in both communities — Alexis Creek and Tatla Lake — meeting,” Neads ex-plained. “This grew out of the Cariboo Chil-cotin Land Use Plan, which was approved way back in 1994. Then there was a six-year pe-riod of developing with the local community, starting out with Riv-erside Mill in Williams Lake before they got bought out.”

Boundaries of the community forest were discussed thoroughly in the communities, along with what gets logged, where and how, what areas are off limits, all the viewscapes, sensi-tive habitat.

“All that work was done over nearly a de-cade before the pro-bationary license was even granted to cut,” Neads said, adding re-cently the provincial government recog-nized the ECF’s impor-tance to the community by replacing the tem-porary five-year proba-tionary licence it was granted in Jan. 2010 with a 25-year renew-able forest licence on Oct. 17, 2012.

“This award recog-nizes the professional-ism of the ECF and the many years of hard, patient work done by members of the ECF community to bring local control of for-est management and economic return to the area,” he added.

The City of Williams Lake and ICBC have partnered to place four speed reader boards on city streets. The boards will be located on South Lakeside Drive, Mackenzie Avenue, Pigeon Avenue between Gibbon Street and Comer Street, and on Foster Way.

Speed reader boards have several benefits. They advise the motoring public of their approaching speed. They can be programmed in various ways that will warn motorists of speed limits and restrictions. The new speed reader board will remind drivers to slow down, which, in turn, reduces crashes and saves lives. The boards operate 24 hours per day 7 days a week and provide data that is beneficial for making decisions on speed reduction, traffic calming, and traffic volumes.

Keep your pets safe and warm this winter

The three Rs of the season

The SPCA responds to count-less cases where animals are in serious distress after being delib-erately neglected outdoors, even well-loved family pets can become sick or injured in harsh weather. Some simple tips can keep your pet healthy and happy this winter:

• Antifreeze can be a deadly winter hazard for pets, who find the taste appealing. Ethylene gly-col antifreeze is extremely toxic to pets and wildlife — a mere tablespoon is enough to kill a cat or small dog. Ensure you are us-ing pet-safe, propylene-based an-tifreeze, which you will find at automotive supply stores if you’re adding it yourself, or you can ask your mechanic for it if you’re hav-ing your vehicle professionally winterized.

• Road salt is toxic if ingested and can also irritate dogs’ paws. Pay special attention to where your dog is walking and ensure you wipe his paws thoroughly after walks and play to remove any salt.

• Ice can also cut your dog’s paws — watch your dog closely for signs he may be injured during exercise, and check for cuts and sores after exercise.

• Cats and wild animals have been known to seek warmth inside the motor compartment of vehicles during winter. Make it a habit to thump the hood of your car before starting it to chase away any ani-mals who may be hiding inside.

• The BC SPCA is strongly opposed to keeping pets outside, particularly in cold temperatures. If you must leave your animal out-side for short periods, ensure your animal has an appropriate shelter that is elevated off the ground, insulated, regularly cleaned and cleared of any environmental de-bris. The outdoor shelter should also be appropriate to the weight and coat of the animal, enabling standing, lying down and turning around freely and easily. Your dog must also have access to potable water at all times.

Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA.

’Tis the season for rest, reflection and… reform?

Okay, so I needed another R word. But, to a certain degree, “reform” does fit if you use the New Year to make resolutions (another R word!).

After all, most resolutions are just subtle ways of saying we need to reform what we’re doing to achieve positive outcomes.

In my last year-end column, I wrote that I wanted to play my guitar

more and get back to a level of basic f i tness . By the end of

2011, I’d taken to joking that I was becoming a “fat, lazy politician,” but my weight gain and lack of exercise was not a joke and I truly did need to reform my lifestyle if I wanted to remain healthy.

Fortunately, I have some very good friends who used my published goal of getting fit to cajole me into setting goals and actually getting fit. I’m happy to say that I dropped that weight and am back cycling, run-ning, kayaking and cross-country skiing again. And I’m back to spend-ing more time with my family and friends doing all those activities.

Reconnecting with the people and the activities that have always been important in my life has had the added benefit of refocusing my en-ergies and reminding me why I got involved in politics in the first place.

It’s in that vein that I hope our political leaders, particularly Pre-mier Christy Clark and Opposition Leader Adrian Dix, enjoy some time to rest and reflect this Christmas sea-son on what reforms they must com-mit to in order to revive our political system and restore some sense of our democracy.

What’s needed is nothing short of a complete reform of the political party system in order to reinvigorate the role of each MLA in our legisla-tive system. I hope we’ll see some positive movement in that direction in advance of the May 2013 elec-tion.

Oops… Looks like that’s at least six R’s

Best wishes for a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Year.

Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

A community of many richesAs we helped unload all the toys and food donated

to our food drive last Saturday at Salvation Army head-quarters in Williams Lake it was a humble reminder that the hardest time of the year for some people brings out the best in others.

It was a busy morning, with people lined up outside the Tribune office before our doors opened.

A hockey team ready to donate, an elementary school with a van load of dozens of turkeys and crates of sta-ples, or a little girl reluctantly handing over a large soft stuffed animal. One grandma said it was a way to teach her young grandchildren that Christmas is about giving.

Many local businesses had donated prizes for us to give away to each family that donated something.

While some donors may have known this beforehand, others were taken aback.

Last week in the Tribune we told the story of an elder-ly couple being the latest victims of car theft. Not only that, but that a set of tools in the car trunk would have been stolen as well.

This morning the phone rang, with an alert that Cari-

boo GM read the story and is donating a used car to the couple and that someone has also anonymously dropped off $100 to the home of the elderly couple to help pay for some new tools.

In the midst of recent tragedies at home, and wars, famine, hurricanes and other disasters reported around the globe, it is opportunities like these to light a candle, rather than curse the darkness, that help lift the human spirit. Part of that lifting continued this week as hundreds of people participated in the annual Wish Breakfast sponsored by the Child Development Centre and local businesses.

The Salvation Army, churches, businesses and other organizations that help people in need will go into the Christmas holiday a little richer in spirit and the ability to help those in need because of all those who reached out to others in small ways and big ways with their dona-tions. Every donation, no matter how small will make a difference for someone this Christmas.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Page 7: Williams Lake Tribune, December 20, 2012

Only five days until Christmas — eeeeeeeeeeeekk! Please, Santa — I need more time!

It seems everything speeds up this time of the year except for the number of productive day-lights hours and personal energy-levels.

Winter weather has finally blown in, with blustery cold and strong winds so Cariboo ranch-ers are having to increase the feed amounts to help their live-stock combat the cold. Well fed cattle cope much better in frigid weather. That stands to reason,

doesn’t it — a well fed person is much happier than a hungry man as well.

Travelling along Dog Creek Road along Springhouse Prairie on a ferociously windy winter day makes one truly thankful that

we live in modern times. Imag-ine that winter trip in a wagon. I shivered as I thought how that might have been, back in time as I simultaneously cranked up the car-heat, adjusted the window de-froster and sat back in my heated seat as I marvelled at the beauti-ful wind-whipped snow drifts.

As we wind down another year, there are many things a cattle producer could wish for in the coming year; make a list — you never know, Santa may get your letter.

But, keep an eye out for the

Grinch, who often seems to be, just a wee step away!

During the holiday season as we cram in more (perhaps) than we should, our personal health often takes a bit of a beating — so try hard to slow the frenetic pace. Make a hot chocolate, en-joy some music.

Get outdoors and enjoy all the Cariboo has to offer; clear skies, wonderful ski trails, sliding hills and ice-fishing holes all easily accessible in a short time; em-brace our winter wonderland!

Happy holidays to you all.

Question of the week

‘Tis the season of busyness in the Cariboo

Community clash fueledEditor:

For corporate self-seeking alli-ances with governments, less over-sight, less regulations “liberates” private wealth creation.

The rich get disproportionately richer. Un-allied middle-class, the poor, get poorer.

Taseko’s “lifeline” caught by Williams Lake “net benefits” Taseko’s alliances. “Government” grasping this lifeline becomes pro-corporation with business alli-ances.

The 2010 Federal Panel scath-ingly rejected Taseko’s environ-mental impact. Taseko’s mine development was reckoned unac-ceptable for the public good. Pro-vincial government assessment had approved Taseko’s mine develop-ment before the 2010 federal hear-ings.

Federal rejection was unaccept-able for allied “net benefactors.” A delegation supporting Taseko went

to Ottawa with their grievances to override this unfavourable federal environmental assessment. They sought the elimination of the entire federal assessment process. The Conservative cabinet had over-riding power. Ottawa granted this delegation a second federal assess-ment chance for Taseko.

Community clash is exacerbated. Marginalized are those cognizant of elite plundering of our planet...degradation of this valued wa-tershed/eco-system, degradation of inter-generational community social justice, over-stepping unre-solved aboriginal land title which government must legally respect until resolution.

For fallacious trickle-down “theory,” we lose another level of legitimate government oversight. Government oversaw private in-vestment/business...regulating un-holy practices. Regulating was/is/will be necessary for social justice.

Governments in partnership/al-

liance with big corporations/busi-ness compromises/jeopardizes the commonwealth of the whole com-munity.

Government/private/partner-ships permits “Wham bam, thank you ma’am” plunder, profit, rap-ing and running economics. When “their” profits dry up, this corpora-tion will seek “their” profits else-where.

Left are undeniable downloaded “externalized” risks, costs, damag-es to environmental eco-systems, to general public, to future genera-tions. Left...a divided richer/gap-ping/poorer community.

Mayor’s stance “...to work for the betterment of all communi-ties” we must agree to disagree and City council solidifies community rift. This divisive clash isn’t com-munity building.

Must we agree to disagree?

City keeps discussion on fire agreement in camera

The city said Wednes-day it will not be issuing any comments at this

time regarding its fringe fire agreement with the Cariboo Regional Dis-trict. Council held an in-camera meeting about the agreement after its regu-

lar meeting Tuesday eve-ning. On Dec. 14 the city informed the CRD it has changed its mind about entering into a five-year term, a term it originally

passed in a five-point city resolution on Oct. 23, that was shared in a memo to the CRD, dated Oct. 26.

Mayor Kerry Cook said Tuesday the city

wants to continue to offer a service.

“It’s an important is-sue and a lot of it is still in-camera so I am going to hold my comments

back,” she said, adding communication out is go-ing to be important so that everyone has the “cor-rect” information.

Coun. Surinderpal

Rathor said the city can-not afford to provide city services at a loss, and with the new rate the city stands to lose approxi-mately $166,000.

Page 11: Williams Lake Tribune, December 20, 2012

The Williams Lake Thun-der senior girls basketball team stormed to a 62-49 final win over the Caledonia Kermode Bears at the Columneetza Invitational Saturday evening.

The tournament, which fea-tured eight teams, saw the Thun-der go undefeated in three games. Williams Lake secondary opened its tournament with a 42-39 edg-ing of the Correlieu Clan and downed the host Columneetza Cougars, 67-35, prior to the final.

Raj Lalli, who co-coaches the Thunder along with Tara Bur-tenshaw, said the Thunder could possibly be the strongest girls’ basketball team the lakecity has seen in quite some time.

“I think we met our expecta-tions we had for ourselves this past weekend,” Lalli said. “At most tournaments with this group we’ve always gotten really good feedback from other coaches and parents that we’re a very, very hardworking team. We never give up, and physically we’re pretty aggressive and we’re defi-nitely one of the hardest working teams out there.”

Lalli pointed to players such as centre Ana Lomavatu, point guard Latasha Diaz, forwards Montana Reid and Sydney Red-path, and Anne Butters, Dakota Bailey, Natasha Yaworski, Mor-gan Gary and Lexi Peterson for their outstanding play.

Lomavatu, currently playing in her Grade 12 season, was domi-nant throughout the tournament.

“She’s been our MVP this sea-son,” Lalli said. “It’s not often Williams Lake teams get a lot of skilled height, and she’s pro-gressed so much over the last three, four years. She’s really focused on her fitness level over the last year or two, and there’s been tremendous improvement there as a post player. She’s one of our better ball handlers, too.”

Lalli added Diaz has the sole responsibility as the team’s point guard, while Reid, Redpath, But-ters, Bailey, Yaworski, Gary and Peterson combined for a stymie defence.

“Many teams struggle, some-times offensively against us,” Lalli said. “Even if we can’t get anything going offensively our defence is what we build the foundation of our team on.”

The Cougars also had a suc-cessful weekend, placing fourth.

Jennifer Anderson, coach of the Cougars senior girls, said the team finished fourth, beating Valemount and losing once to the Thunder and once to Correlieu in the bronze-medal game.

Anderson said the team’s roster of Erica Webber, Shaelyn Win-tjes, Annie Blois, Kaylee Dueck, Nisha Khan, Simran Boyal and Becky Caeppel are a dedicated, intense batch of players with strong rebounding skills and teamwork.

Webber led the Cougars in scoring throughout the weekend while Dueck dropped 16 against Valemont to lead all scorers.

Anderson added the Cougars plan to attend upcoming tourna-ments in Quesnel, Prince George and Valemount and hope to con-tinue to keep improving.

Meanwhile the Thunder are currently preparing to host the North Central Zone Champion-ships from Feb. 21-23 at Wil-liams Lake Secondary School. Only one team from the zone will move on to the BC High School Basketball Provincial Champion-ships.

“We placed second last year at zones,” Lalli said. “This year our goals are very high.

“Our expectations are set pret-ty high, and I think it would be a disappointment to us if we didn’t win, or come in at the top two.”

Kitimat announced as 2013 Coy Cup host

BC Hockey an-nounced Dec. 18 that Kitimat has been se-lected as the host site for the 2013 Senior Male AA Coy Cup BC Hockey Champion-ship.

The Championships will be held March 12 — 16, 2013.

“I’m very happy to say that since securing the 2013 bid, we are in full swing gearing up for another exciting week of senior hockey this March,” said pres-ident/head coach of the Kitimat Ice Demons Cliff Madsen.

“Our committee is pumped up and already in action. We have most of our volunteers from last year in place and the community is excited for the cham-pionship.”

“We are honoured and thrilled to have the opportunity to again host the provincial BC Hockey Senior AA Championship, which has become a bit of a ‘fixture’ at home or away in our hockey season,” commented Terry Marleau, general

manager of the Kitimat Ice Demons.

The 2012-2013 Coy Cup will use a four (4) team format involving teams from the Cen-tral Interior Hockey League (CIHL).

This will be the sec-ond year in a row that Kitimat has hosted the Senior Male AA Championship.

The Coy Cup was

donated to BC Hockey by Colonel Coy of the 50th Gordon High-landers (now the 16th Scottish) of Victoria, B.C.

It is emblematic of the Senior AA Amateur Hockey Championship of British Columbia.

The first Coy Cup was awarded to the Enderby Hockey Club in the 1922-1923 sea-

son.The Williams Lake

Stampeders were crowned Coy Cup champions in the 2009 season.

For those brave enough, or even those who just want to come out and witness the spec-tacle, the 13th annual Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club’s is coming up Jan. 1, New Year’s day.

Brad Bulow, WLR-RFC member and swim organizer, said there’s re-ally no better way to ring in the new year than par-ticipating, or seeing, the action go down at Scout Island on Williams Lake.

Close to 100 swim-mers annually experi-ence the ice-cold waters of Williams Lake — the largest Polar Bear Swim outside the Lower Main-land.

“Everyone’s wel-come,” Bulow said. “Sign up is at 12:30 p.m. Take the plunge at 1

p.m.”Proceeds from the

event will go toward youth rugby programs

in Williams Lake. Ad-ditionally during, or prior the swim, partici-pants are asked to collect

pledges. Bulow said in the past there have been some interesting pledge ideas concocted.

“There are guys who have, in the past, done a by-the-minute pledge where they’ll go around and ask people if they’d be willing to pledge them for $10 a minute or something, and they’ll stay in the lake for four minutes, and get a $40 donation,” he said.

“This year the Wil-liams Lake Boy Scouts are going to be a part of it, too. The boys I guess told their leaders they were interested in doing the swim and fundrais-ing and they got a hold of me, and they’ll be do-nating half of what they raise to youth rugby and the other half will go to scouts.”

Prizes will also be awarded for best cos-tumes, high pledge earn-ers and more.

And just to ensure ev-eryone stays safe during the swim, the Rustlers

have put out a request for a lifeguard and notified the BC Ambulance Ser-vice to be on hand just in case. Additionally, hot beverages will be served, and semi-trailer warming huts equipped with car-pets and propane heaters, will be parked on site.

Bulow added swim-mers should also bring a

change of warm clothes, two towels, two pairs of shoes and a lawn chair to use in the warming trail-ers.

If anyone is interested in volunteering for the event they are asked to contact Bulow at 250-267-1725 as volunteer positions are still avail-able.

Polar Bear Swim to celebrate 13 years

Williams Lake’s Trevor Mack recently qualified for the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships, coming up March 16 in Quebec City.

The 20-year-old earned his berth to worlds following the Red Bull Crashed Ice National Championships in Niagra Falls early December — an event he’s competed at the past three years.

Red Bull Crashed Ice blends ice hockey, down-hill skating and border-cross with competitors skating down an ice track taking jumps and bumps along the way.

“It was amazing be-cause I’d never been to Niagra Falls before and I was able to race down the track and see the falls right in front of me, which is definitely something I’ll probably never be able to do again so that was really, really cool,” Mack said, adding a new track was built to accommodate the event’s first time being held in Niagra Falls.

“The track was so much harder than Que-bec City the past two

years. It was a lot more technical and a lot more physically demanding. I remember in training runs six guys were taken off the track by ambu-lance.”

At nationals Mack placed 76th out of 150 skaters, qualifying him as one of eight racers to compete in a small race called the Reverse Falls.

“We had to race the rack uphill and that liter-ally was the most physi-cally enduring thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” Mack said. “We raced up a 300-metre

section of the 400-metre track.”

Mack was second most of the way, but fell toward the end, leaving him sixth.

“It was the last eight people up to 76th, so that qualified me for Quebec City in March,” he said. “I was literally the last guy to qualify out of all 150 skaters.”

Now, he said, he’s focusing on the world championships in Que-bec City, where he hopes to continue to improve.

“Last year I was 96th [at nationals] and this

year I came 76th, so I’m getting a little better but I still have to train a lot more,” he said. “At least now I know what to do for March, so I’m feeling a bit better about it.”

Additionally, the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships will be broadcast live on Sportsnet.

“My goal for Niagra Falls was to qualify, and now since I’ve qualified my goal is to hopefully try to race on TV this time,” he said.

“The top 32 get to be on television.”

Once again McLeese Lake Hall was the scene of a wonderful Christ-mas gathering with well over 120 residents and guests coming to-gether to celebrate the 14th annual McLeese Lake Christmas pot luck supper.

Everyone looks forward to this annual event as it not only gets us all in the mood for further celebrations in the month, it is always an enchant-ing evening.

We appreciated having our Cari-boo Regional District Area D Di-rector, Deb Bischoff attend with her husband, Oleh. The hall was very nicely decorated by committee members.

After a short blessing by guest, Reg Steward, we played a game to determine table order. Guests were asked by how much did the world population increase in the previous 24-hour period – the answer was 106,106.

Pot luck suppers are absolutely the best supper ever. The committee supplied turkey, ham, dressing, gra-vy and condiments. Everything else was supplied by all the guests. There was everything there from perogies, all kinds of salads, devilled eggs, potato dishes, lasagne, baked beans, vegetable dishes, yummy desserts and more!

It was so delicious and there was lots of food for everyone. Following supper, the master of ceremonies, Colin Carter introduced, Mark and Stephanie Carter and Jessie, Hroth-gar and Naija Chapin who treated the guests to musical merriment.

Allen Beaumont also played Jin-gle Bells on the piano and was very excited to do that. Veronica Kregel played the violin and then Christ-mas carols were played and sung by Steve, Luke and Paul Noble, Mark and Stephanie Carter, Samuel Culp and Veronica Kregel.

The audience enjoyed singing along with them all. Following the music, hall president Howie Cham-berlin announced all the changes that have been made to the hall building and property in the past year.

The most obvious one to the guests is the addition of several win-dows on the north wall overlooking McLeese Lake. Howie also informed everyone of the addition of the new wheelchair ramp and upgrade of the stairs at the upper entrance thanks to a generous anonymous donation.

He also announced that other items completed in the past year with the help of donations, fund raising and grants were the bleacher area, the modernized window in the kitchen, a new backstop, a new well with a complete new water system, new toilets and hot water tank.

Howie also took a few moments to thank everyone who helped make

the changes and who helped out with hall functions and projects in the past year.

The highlight of the evening, of course, was the arrival of Santa Claus and his elf who distributed gifts to all of the children in the au-dience. The children very excitedly gathered around Santa’s feet anx-iously waiting for the elf to call their name.

Children bring such joy to Christ-mas and it was very heart warming to watch their excitement. Santa could not stop smiling either. He was so excited to be there and see the joy on all the faces. The adults in the audi-ence were caught up in the ambience of the moment and snapped several pictures of Santa and the children.

Once again, guests were asked to bring new or nearly new items to do-nate for the fundraising auction and this year they did not disappoint. In the words of our esteemed auction-eer Terry Fowler, “every year the donations seem to get bigger and better.”

All donations are greatly appreci-ated as this is one of our major fund-raising events of the year.

This year there was a hockey table, two finely crafted garden or-naments, a load of hay, pellets for a stove, blankets, Christmas trees and ornaments and so much more. Area residents did not disappoint with donations to the baking and si-lent auction, as well. Several of the cakes went for well over twenty dol-lars. Auctioneer Terry Fowler never disappoints us. His presence every year is greatly appreciated as he has such a knack for getting another few dollars out of all the bidders. All pro-ceeds will be used for hall improve-ments in 2013.

Over $3,100 was raised, for which the society is very grateful. These funds will be used to install a new handicapped washroom on the main floor.

A big thank you goes out to Joanne Regush, Audrey Krell, Irene Roche-fort and Howie Chamberlin for their help with the auction as well.

The members of the McLeese Lake Recre-ation Society appreciate all the assistance from everyone, but president Howie Chamberlin says that it is the residents and guests who help make this Christmas event the huge success that it is.

Without their pot luck donations, auction dona-tions and bidding, this event would be nothing. A big thank you also goes out to everyone

who attended. There are not enough

adjectives to describe the evening. It was very entertaining in every as-pect. It was captivating with its Christmas spirit in the air.

It was a huge success in every way.

Everyone in McLeese Lake wishes all Cariboo residents a very merry Christmas and a won-derful, successful New Year.

Enjoy this magical time with your family and friends.

Ever since I moved to the Cari-boo in August of 2010 my father has wondered if I would meet any Bracewells because he had met some of the family while survey-ing in the Chilcotin in the 1950s. After I met Gerry Bracewell at a fundraiser in November, I asked if she remembered meeting my fa-ther. She said she didn’t but to say hello. When I did he sent me the following story, which Gerry sug-gested we should publish in the Tribune.-- Monica Lamb-Yorski-

It’s not too surprising that Gerry Bracewell didn’t recall myself, as we were actually around the ranch very little, and I was not, by my job description, scheduled to be there at all, but with my survey crew well down the river.

But the regular skipper of the freight boat, a combination cook and gopher, cut himself with a power saw and had to go to the hospital and later recover, so he couldn’t run the little launch.

I had come out of the jungle along the Mosley to meet Mom, Dad, and Ricky, who had driven into the Chilcotin on holiday. This coincided with the power saw incident, so Ralph Spinney, our boss, gave me the freight-er job, which lasted for about three weeks, until Don Phillips got hurt, although not so bad he couldn’t run the boat, and I was sent back to the front lines.

Thus I had an idyllic little stay at the bottom of the lake, dur-ing which time Gerry invited us nearby types to come to a party she was throwing for anyone handy, but especially in honour of three young American fighter pilots stationed at Puntzi Lake. They had come to the ranch for a holiday.

Eric Gleddin and I went up in the 16-foot clinker built, on a calm Saturday evening.

I not only wound up singing with the late brother’s guitar, but warming up in the pantry, singing

“The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night” to little Johnie Perjue, son of our cook Jarrod, I realized that I was going to be a teacher.

A wind came up, and Eric de-cided it would be the greater part of valour to accept Gerry’s invita-tion to stay the night.

The next day it was somehow decided to have a “rodeo,” star-ring the Bracewell family milk cow, a Hereford with polled horns. (The polling is very im-portant to this story.) I don’t know why the airmen were not out riding on real horses. Maybe they had done the normal thing, but were still thinking about brahma bulls. So we all wound up at the corral, where the three of them took turns at being tossed off the Hereford’s back without ceremony.

Alf Bracewell looked a bit bemused by their suicidal deter-mination, and I wondered about the effect on Betsy’s milk, but we soldiered on and gave the Yanks their money’s worth. When the heaviest of the three hit the dirt with a particular shuddering thump, I got the bright idea of changing the routine.

I’d read enough of Heming-

way in Spain to know a little about bullfighting, so I borrowed a large red bandanna from some-one, possibly Gerry, or maybe Jarrod’s wife Bonnie, and strode into the centre of the corral wav-ing it in front of me in the appro-priate fashion. I possibly really scared Alf, but of course we side hill gougers of the Homathko were in fabulous shape, with re-flexes like hockey players, so I wasn’t worried. Well, not initial-ly. So strutted my best matador pose, waved the red bandanna, and shouted insults at a mightily bemused milk cow.

Obligingly, she caught on, and charged. In an admirably straight line, covering 20 or 25 feet quite nimbly, heading for the bandan-na. She swept by, I triumphantly lifted the cloth above her head as she did so, and received a gener-ous round of applause from the fence sitters. With apparently no hard feelings, or second attempts at my limbs, Betsy trotted back to the start line, possibly assisted with directions from Alf.

But on her second getting into position, I thought I detected a slightly different knowledge at work in her bovine brain, and it

might have been at that point that I recollected some of Heming-way’s research.

He had pointed out that the last thing desired by the Spanish ranchers who raise the fighting bulls is for their animals to have been able to study the human body in motion on foot. Their worst enemies in this regard are boys who sneak into the pastures and practise matadorial ambi-tions. Bulls with experience of human footwork can become very dangerous in the ring.

So I went through my pro-vocative routine, and again Betsy obliged. But this time she was totally annoyed, and, as I say, wiser. And cunning. She did not head directly for my pelvis. She only started to curve to her left as she got close, late enough that her nice little half-ton of angry bone and muscle would have nailed me dead centre if I’d not stud-ied Ernest and not seen the dark gleam in her eye.

My evasive action was very fundamental, and in no way in the best matador tradition. I simply dove backwards and to my right, and as it was, she managed with her chopped left horn stub to nail

me on the left hip, with a blow I was to feel for several days.

So I gave back the bandanna and ended forever my career as a bull fighter. But out of that ex-change I found a new vocation: rodeo clown. Now that I was Bet-sy’s number one enemy, with or without the red flag, as she con-tinued tossing her would-be rid-ers, I was immediately the focus of her attention.

Thus I loitered near the cor-ral bars, waved at her each time she dumped one of the pilots, and then scampered up the rails as she headed my way. I continued to be useful in this fashion until Alf de-cided Betsy had had enough.

We all went back to the ranch house, where Gerry cooked up a huge meal. After the feast, which had required every pot in the house to cook, we played darts for the honour of doing the dish-es. With my score the lowest, the chore fell to me.

Meanwhile, the boss and an-other of the crew had showed up with the little freighter. The wind had dropped, and we sailed back to camp later that evening on gently rolling swells, under a full moon.

BourkeRoderick Francis

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Roderick Francis Bourke, a much loved father, grandfa-ther, great-grandfather, hus-band, brother and uncle to a wonderful bunch of family and friends in Canada, New Zea-land and around the globe. He passed away peacefully at the age of 91, on December 8, 2012 at Waverly Seniors Vil-lage in Chilliwack, BC.He is survived by his second wife, Ruth McKitrick, daughter Maureen Halsall (John), grandchildren Roderick Halsall (Lisa), Noeline Borg (Wiley) and great grandchildren Alex-is, Ethan and Charlotte as well as brother Ian Bourke and sis-ter Noeline Eglinton. He is also survived by steps-sons Greg and Roy McKitrick and their respective families. Rod was predeceased by his son David, fi rst wife Marjorie and brothers Tony and Denny. Rod was born in the small town of Pahiatua, New Zea-land. He spent his childhood on the family farm before en-listing in the army at the age of 19, later transferring to the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He completed his pilots train-ing in Canada in the Air Com-monwealth Training Program, earning his wings in 1942. He joined the RNZAF #488 Mos-quito Night Fighter Squadron, fl ying numerous patrols and sorties in Europe through the end of the war. He returned to New Zealand via Canada where he married his sweet-heart, Marjorie Smith. They lived in Pahiatua for two years before settling in Canada. There, Rod found work in the lumber industry, progressing through a number of lumber grading and inspecting roles culminating in his job as su-pervisor with the Caribou Lum-ber Manufacturers Association in Williams Lake, BC. Rod and Marjorie spent many happy years there, where Rod was a lifetime member of both the Royal Canadian Legion and the Williams Lake Golf and Country Club. On his retire-ment in 1985, they moved to Chilliwack to be closer to their daughter, Maureen and her family.After Marjorie’s death in 1990, Rod lived on his own until 1995, at which time he met Ruth through square dancing. They were married May 5, 1995 and had a great life to-gether, enjoying many trips and helping local senior citi-zens. He was a kind, generous loving man and performed a great Haka.In April 2010, Rod suffered a fall which resulted in a broken hip. Upon his release from hospital, he moved into Wav-erly Seniors Village where he spent the remainder of his days. The staff made Rod wel-come and provided outstand-ing care and support.At Rod’s request, there will be no service, however, the fami-ly will host a memorial tea at The Senior’s Rec Centre, 9400 College St., Chilliwack, BC be-tween 2-4:00pm, on Friday, December 28th, across from Henderson’s Funeral Home.In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your choice.
