Williams Lake man loses his life in highway accident

Longtime Cariboo resident Carl Rosk was the man killed in a head-on collision on Highway 97 Friday morning, said the BC Coroners Service.

Rosk, 86, was driving north-bound about 35 kilometres south of 150 Mile near Maze Lake Road when the incident occurred at approximately 11 a.m.

According to the RCMP, initial investigation revealed that a south-

bound 28-year-old female driver of a 2004 Dodge Ram lost control and veered into the northbound lane, striking Rosk’s 2000 Ford F-150 truck.

The BC Coroners Service stated that Mr. Rosk was transported by

ambulance to hospital in Williams Lake, but succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash.

The female driver was treated at hospital and released.

Road conditions were noted to be poor at the time.

Lake City Ford's general manager Dave Polack is hoping a little prize incentive will help put their annual food drive donations over the top this year.

“Our goal is to gen-erate as much commu-nity support for the food bank as possible,” said Polack, who is running The Greatest Gift cam-paign.

He said The Greatest Gift offers participants a chance to win gift bas-kets and a grand prize draw for a dream family

vacation worth $4,000, a weekend for four at The Hills or a new flatscreen TV in return for dropping off a food donation at their Oliver Street location.

“Christmas is a time when we all think about what we can do for someone else,” Polack said.

“The Salvation Army does a lot of good work and they need our help.”

Caption Randy Kadonaga of the Salvation Army said he is very appreciative of Lake City Ford's food drive, and says it couldn't come at a bet-ter time.

This year 350 Christmas hampers will be handed out to those in need, while 250 chil-dren are registered to

receive toys.Kadonaga said

Christmas is hard on those with a limited income, particularly those who live as singles.

“They struggle the most,” Kadonaga said, noting the average income assistance for singles in Williams Lake is just over $600 per month – which must cover all living expenses such as rent, heat, light and clothing.

Kadonaga said once those expenses are cov-ered, singles usually have about $20 per month for food.

“Try living on $600 a month – even if you didn't have to pay rent. It's pretty hard for a sin-gle person.”

Kadonaga said places like the Salvation Army

and other church groups fill the need throughout the year, offering break-fasts, lunches, and week-end meals in the park. He said they help about 2,000 people through-out the year.

The best food items to donate to the food drive include pasta, pasta sauce, meal-in-a-can and soups. Kadonaga said the Salvation Army also gladly accepts fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as frozen meats to use in their soup kitchen.

The Greatest Gift campaign runs at Lake City Ford until Saturday, Dec. 22 when at 3 p.m. the prizes will be drawn.

Last year the cam-paign raised more than $2,000 and two truck-loads of food.

Residents have a chance to do their part for the environment this Sunday by participat-ing in the 45th annual Christmas Bird Count.

The count, hosted by the Williams Lake Field Naturalist’s, was first held in the city in 1969, and will be one of 415 counts across Canada involving over 12,000 volunteers December 16.

Phil Ranson, long-time count organizer and bird enthusiast, said he expects to have 35 people in the field on Sunday as well as numerous bird feeder watchers throughout the count area which is a 24-km diameter centred in downtown. The circle takes in from Wildwood to Sugarcane and Dog Creek Road out to Flett Road; from Meldrum Creek Road on the west side of the Fraser River to beyond Fox Mountain to the east.

Of special inter-est this year will be the chance to see a snowy owl, which has been appearing in the Prince George and Quesnel areas in record numbers.

So far this winter Ranson said upwards of 30 have been seen in the Prince George area and five in Quesnel.

“They really are in unprecidented num-bers around here this year,” Ranson said of

the Arctic bird, noting one snowy owl was dis-covered on a snowbank in Williams Lake at the Cogeneration Plant on Mackenzie. That owl was sent to the coast for rehabilitation however later died.

“This unfortunately seems to be the fate of many of these young birds which may have been driven out of the Arctic by a crash in the Lemming population which is their primary food source.”

Ranson said there have also been three or four sightings of Snowy Owls around Riske Creek and they hope to add the owl to the count Sunday.

In total last year’s count netted 4,600 birds of 49 species and how well we do this year will depend on many factors including weather con-ditions on the day and if any open water remains on Williams Lake. The highest count occurred in 2008 when the lake

was mostly open and there were 64 species including many water-fowl.

“Because birds are early indicators of envi-ronmental threats to habitats we share, this is a vital continent-wide survey.”

Bird feeders contrib-ute greatly to our num-bers and Ranson asks that anyone with a feed-er in the count area to let him know what birds they see on Sunday. Observe the feeder at its busiest, usually in the morning and get an estimate of the numbers and species seen. Please call in your list to 392-7680 after 5:00 pm on Sunday, 16th or email

[email protected] . If you need help identi-fying the birds at your feeder, call Phil at 398-7110.

Williams Lake Christmas Bird Count

MLA Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse, longtime NDP representative and former NDP MLA David Zirnhelt and newly announced NDP hopeful Duncan Barnett talk politics over coffee at the Bean Counter yester-day where Barnett announced his intention to seek the NDP nomination for Cariboo North. Barnett is currently the president of the regional Cariboo Cattlemen's Association, and a former CRD director. He says he brings to the table a background in business in his role as rancher and an understanding of the need to be business-forward in today's economy. If nominated in January, Barnett will run against BC Liberal Coralee Oakes and Independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson.

The Snowly Owl



Surrounded by friends and family, longtime community volunteer and politician

Jim Fraser was hon-oured with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for his years of outstand-ing community service.

“I think it's the high-

light of my career,” a blushing Jim Fraser said Friday, after being given the award by Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett at a luncheon held at the Senior's Activity Centre.

“But, you know, you don't do these things alone.”

Fraser has dedicated the last 50 years of his life working in many facets of the community, such as the Recreation Commission, the Municipal Council, the Cariboo Memorial Hospital Board and, of course, as the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Fraser also served as the director of the Hough Memorial Cancer Society for 20 years, helping to raise more than $1 million dollars for critical cancer detection equipment.

But Fraser may be best known for his love of skiing, and his dedi-cation to local ski hill Mount Timothy that Fraser was instrumental in saving.

When he was admir-ing the cake that Barnett brought to share with everyone, Fraser said he was excited to tell his children about the medal and hoped that they'd be proud.

The following tale is a story Barnett shared

with the crowd about Fraser's tenacity in poli-tics.

Fraser versus Fraser In the early days of

Williams Lake, mem-bers of the Board of Trade and Village Commissioners often waged war with Victoria, and with Ottawa, if they felt the village was being short-changed by either senior govern-ment. On a number of occasions the Board of Trade embarrassed the provincial government into cooperation by sending stories to the Vancouver and Victoria newspapers.

In later years municipal governors tended to take a friend-

lier approach, petition-ing and lobbying for favours. One exception to this was Mayor Jim Fraser. Jim had served as a councillor for six years before being elect-ed mayor of Williams Lake in 1971. During Mayor Fraser's time in office, Alex Fraser, who had served for 20 years as Mayor of Quesnel, and was the first Chair of the Cariboo Regional District, was the Cariboo MLA.

For two of those years, Alex was Minister of Highways. Known affectionately as the King of the Cariboo, Alex was both popular in his constituency and a powerful member of

the Social Credit gov-ernment. Although Jim shared Alex's political philosophy, it didn't stop the Mayor from taking on the MLA when the occasion war-ranted.

One battle was over finding suitable win-ter accommodation for the town's street people, nicknamed the Troopers. For years, every winter, at least one person perished on the streets of Williams Lake during cold spells. By the mid-1970s the plight of the homeless had the attention of the townspeople as well as that of the provin-cial media. The street people were the sub-

ject of BCTV camera crews and CBC radio talk show. There was considerable pressure from townspeople to do something to prevent further deaths.

There were numer-ous suggestions; some felt the empty liquor store would make an appropriate shelter, but they all required help from the province. None was forthcoming. Mayor Fraser kicked up enough of a fuss that finally MLA Fraser, who was Minister of Highway at the time, came up with some highway construction trailers. The bunkhouse trailers came complete with beds and bath-rooms, and they were set up by the Cariboo Friendship Centre for one winter.

Mackenzie Avenue was another well publi-cized issue between the two. The Ministry of Highways was respon-sible for the mainte-nance and upgrading of Mackenzie, but the logging truck traffic pounded the pavement to bits and the high-ways crews couldn't, or wouldn't, cope with it. After trying unsuc-cessfully to get Victoria to do something about what he called "undis-putedly the worst road in Williams Lake" Mayor Fraser threatened to change the name from Mackenzie to the "Alex Fraser Highway " and he put up sign designating it as such. This ploy didn't work but there was never any reason to suppose that Williams Lake suffered in any way from its out-spoken Mayor.

After the recent announce-ment that Tolko Industries would be closing the Creekside mill, the City wishes to clari-fy the implications to the City budget.

As a result of an application for a closure allowance for the Creekside operation by Tolko to the BC Assessment Authority, the City’s industrial assessment base will be affected in 2013. The City estimates a loss of $3.5

million in assessment.It is important to note that

this is not an automatic loss of taxation revenue to the City, but a loss in assessment value, which may need to be collected among the remaining assessment classes, or from an increase in the mill rate to the major industrial class. Council will consider tax rates and other items when it deliber-ates the 2013 budget and five-year financial plan beginning in January.

“Council wants to acknowl-

edge that this closure has been a serious blow to Tolko, its work-ers, and the community,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “We lost more than 100 positions when the Creekside operation closed three years ago, and another 22 people lost their jobs when Tolko decided not to re-open.

“It is also important to remem-ber the positive news we’ve had this year – re-investment and West Fraser’s announcement of a new multimillion dollar planer mill.

Ernie Engemoen, a former editor of The Cariboo Advisor, once told me there are three areas readers are espe-cially interested in. As two of those top-ics, health and family, have been prodded at some length here, per-haps it is time to reach cautiously toward the third - religion. But there is risk in doing so. While many of our laws have religious underpinnings, invok-ing the ‘R’ word can chill a conversation, or invite the slash of an editor’s pen.

When I was twelve and living in South Africa, a story was reported on the news that deeply shaped my

thinking. A father had asked his son to do a small chore, which the boy did not complete. In a drunken stupor, the father wrapped the boy’s hands in grass, soaked the grass in kerosene, and then lit the applica-tion with a match. The boy lost his hands - all for not completing a

chore. Rather than ‘soap-

boxing’ any particular view, or getting lost in the touchy-feely of what is often called spirituality, I hope to offer a question, and leave you to consider the possible answers.

Could I get permis-sion from my gener-ous readers to bypass, for now, the question

“Is there a god?” There are so many belief sys-tems, and so many gods those systems advise us to worship, that I’m just going to assume, (with apologies to my athe-ist friends), that there is something or someone out there. My apology to believers will follow shortly.

Of course, no mat-ter what god or gods believers choose, it seems power is always involved. No one would revere someone or something weaker or more helpless than himself or herself! But, going further, what if that power isn’t nice, or is downright nasty?

An article on CNN further piqued my interest in the sub-ject. http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/30/r e l i g i o n . t o r t u r e . Happily, the survey was done on Americans, not Canadians, but it states, “The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists. . .”

What??? I thought people with religious roots were supposed to be nice, and try to be good, and stuff like that! What’s wrong? Is it okay to be nasty to those I disagree with? Sadly, even in many believers’ views, god is not nice - definitely not!

None of us would claim that the earlier, punishing father was a good one. But much of the religious world claims their sovereign being is even worse, burning disobedient children, not for a few minutes, but forever. And if that is true, I guess I don’t really have freedom to choose - it’s conform or burn. Should I emulate a god

like that? It’s no wonder vio-

lent, prolonged atroci-ties have occurred in the name of religion - even our western versions. And therefore, no sur-prise that American church attendance cor-relates with support of torture! OK, now I’m in trouble with believ-ers, and I apologize there as well.

Understandably, mil-lions have declined to take even a glance at divinity because of such a belief. If whatever is out there is powerless, nasty or both, we are truly adrift in a help-less and fearful state. I’d much prefer if the ‘something’ were bigger and better than me -

and nicer, too! Might there be another option that warrants a peek?

The final weeks of the year include the holidays of many world religions. During our worship and our cel-ebrations, perhaps the more persistent, more important ques-tion isn’t, “Is there a god?” but rather “Is god good?”

That question goes deeper than creeds or beliefs, but certainly can’t go much further in a newspaper. The com-ments after the CNN article are more capti-vating than the article itself. Yours would interest me even more. [email protected].

Stepping onto dangerous ground . . . and exploring religion

A tragic story struck the community of Clearwater, B.C. this past weekend. Local school teachers Skye Buck and his pregnant wife Courtney passed away after their vehicle slid off the highway 17 kilometres South of Clearwater and sunk into the North Thompson River. The young couple, both 30, was on their way home from Kelowna.

I had the plea-sure of attending the

University College of the Cariboo in Kamloops with Skye back in 2003-04. That year he was captain of the UCC Sun Demons basketball team and was named Canadian Collegiate athlete of the year and he did all this standing only 5’10” tall. I talked to him briefly a few times, as student-athletes we would cross paths on occasion in the gym and weight-room. He was one of the nicest

guys you’ll ever meet without the slight-est hint of arrogance despite his athletic prowess. I again had the pleasure of run-ning into him a couple years ago while offi-ciating a high school basketball tournament in Hope, B.C. while he coached Kamloops Christian School.

Stories like this remind us how cruel and fragile life can be and the risks we take driving on our winter

roads. We never expect these horrific events to happen to somebody we know and with Skye being a school teacher, an athlete, from a small town and starting a young family all similar to myself, it’s really gut-wrench-ing. Thoughts and prayers go out to Skye and Courtney’s fami-lies and friends. Skye was a man of faith and I know there will be special place set aside for him in heaven.

The School Board is forg-ing ahead with its consulta-tion process regarding the Initial Options Report, despite a request from Kwaleen Elementary School representa-tives to extend the process past the scheduled date of January 22.

The school, along with other schools and some Parent Advisory Councils have com-plained that the School Board did not consult properly before setting out their Initial Options Report which aims to close three elementary schools and reconfigure the high schools in the lakecity.

At their Nov. 27 meeting, trustees defeated a motion to extend the consultation pro-cess.

In turn, Kwaleen represen-tatives have fought back this week by announcing their plan to file a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsperson of B.C. in relation to the consul-tation process.

Kwaleen and Russet Bluff representatives threaten that if the school district closes their school, they can pursue a judi-cial review.

The School Board was meet-ing last night, and Kwaleen wasn’t on the agenda, but you can bet the trustees will be talking about this latest devel-opment.

What was on the agenda for last night, was whether trust-ees will extend the schools of choice deadline from Feb. 15 to Feb 22. for this year due to the

Initial Options Report. Kinda funny considering the board is proposing to close most ele-mentary schools of choice, and whatever is left will be so full to capacity choice will be a distant memory in the Williams Lake area.

On December 18th, the Board is hosting another meeting to discuss the Initial Options Report, and again on January 15, and again on January 22 where it is expected the board will announce its decision.

Though the process is diffi-cult, one can only have admira-tion for the trustees’ resolve to see this process through. The dedication of hours they have put into what must often be a thankless job is commendable.

School Board forges ahead


Dear EditorOn reading the arti-

cle on November 27, 2012 printed in another media outlet, “Donna Barnett acclaimed by the local Liberals” I find Donna's statement that is was an accomplish-ment that the Liberals got Deni House open.

As I remember it, it was the Liberals under Gordon Campbell that decided it was in the best interests for the residents of Deni House, to close the facility. The residents and their families were devastated by this clo-sure.

Before the closure, a bus load of con-cerned seniors trav-elled to Kamloops to protest their concerns to the Minister of Health, George Abbott. Unfortunately Mr. Abbott would not come out of the Canadian

Inn to face the seniors.Meanwhile hun-

dreds of seniors in the Williams Lake and area signed a petition at the Seniors Activity Centre, to keep Deni House open.

As a result a group of a dozen seniors, myself included, chartered a plane to be in Victoria when Charlie Wyse our MLA for Cariboo/Chilcotin presented the petition at the Legislature assembly in the Parliament building stating that the residents of Williams Lake and area did not want Deni House to be closed. Regardless of the peti-tion the Deni House was closed and the resi-dents were moved to Retirement Concepts Senior Village.

If it were not for the Cariboo Regional District (taxpayers) providing the money to

pay for the renovations to upgrade Deni House the residence would still remain closed.

Yours SincerelyWinnifred GoodingPast President of the

The BC C o n s t r u c t i o n Industry is looking for skilled workers around the world. The Industry has formed the Foreign Skilled Workers of BC group because their associa-tion says we do not have enough skilled positions to fill the current and upcoming construction projects across BC.

The Foreign Skilled workers are recruited from around the world and must have creden-tials in trades and have experience.

The Construction Association's lat-est foray into non-Canadian employ-ment grounds was in California last week. Also the Foreign Skilled

Workers program has been as far ashore as Ireland, trying to find skilled, qualified trades-men and women to come and fill needed positions in British Columbia.

Good for the C o n s t r u c t i o n Association to get directly involved in try-ing to find qualified workers...somewhere...

for BC construction employers looking to hire.

Blame our short-age of skilled workers on the Baby Boomers, because they are retir-ing faster than the work place can fill the void.

. . .

Last week on Friday the Senior's Centre needed someone to help cook hamburgers, so there I was out riding the range in the kitchen when Donna Barnett and her trusty sidekick Bonnie Joy arrived. The MLA was there to honour long time resident Jim Fraser with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award. The for-

mer City Mayor and Councillor (Alderman) has been very involved with the Hough Memorial Fund for our hospital and has also spent many hours with the Mt Timothy Ski Hill. MLA Barnett thanked Mr Fraser for his hard work and dedication to this com-munity and area. Veera Bonner, Rod Voth, and Allen Boyd are other Cariboo residents who received the award to commemorate the Queens 60th anniver-sary

I hope you are taking your time to do your Christmas Shopping in Williams Lake this year. We do not need any

more shops or services leaving our city and I am sure every dollar dropped in our stores will help keep them in the community longer.

Christmas is one of the most friendly and happy times of the year and I’m sure there will be many merchant smiles in Williams Lake if you open your wallet to dig out some coin or plastic to shop local.

Help support those merchants who donate to the community not only with money or donations but also with their time.

By the way, it is alright to wish friends, neighbours and acquaintances a nice ‘Merry Christmas’ when you see them on the street these days.

Sean GlanvilleCariboo Advisor

Reverend Terrance Richmond (Rev Rich) of Oakland, California visited Williams Lake last weekend to promote his message of peace and love. Richmond, who spoke at the Limelight Theatre Saturday eve-ning and the Calvary Tabernacle Church on Sunday, is an accom-plished minister and musician.

He arrived in the Cariboo through his connection with his uncle, Will Hardeman, who moved to the lake-city from Oakland 12 years ago. He currently works as a reverend at the Calvary Christian Center in Sacramento, CA. He has also released two full length albums including The Love Fix in 2010.

“My first time in Williams Lake was 12 years ago when I was the best man at my Uncle Willy’s wedding,” said Richmond. “It’s his heart for the First Nations community and his will and my pas-sion for young people across the world that I arrived in Williams Lake with my gift and message of love.”

A giant banner was made by Williams Lake youth reading “Living Life on a Love-Quest,” which was hung across the stage at the Limelight Theatre. This motto is one Richmond uses to promote love, hope and reconciliation.

“Our message is for people to discover love in many different cul-tures and preach the

importance of fam-ily and how to make that effort to recon-cile relationships,” said Richmond. “Youth that have had their hearts broken through aban-donment and other issues need to have hope and know that people love them.”

Richmond was raised in a tough Oakland neighbour-hood and knows what it’s like to be exposed to things like poverty, prostitution, drugs, and violence.

“My dad wasn’t in the house, I was raised by all women and a strong praying grandmother,” said Richmond. “A lot of different things I was exposed to, and of course as a youngster it led me to try things and dip and dap, so I know how tough it can get.”

Richmond cred-its sports for helping him find his calling as a preacher. He excelled at both baseball and basketball going on to play minor-league base-ball with a California Angels farm-team in Mesa, Arizona and NCAA Division I Basketball at San Jose State University.

“I always played sports, it kind of kept my life in balance and truly gave me an out as far as my time being spent,” said Richmond. “ I really focused on my grades and going to practice, so my develop-ment in sports helped me get out of my city and exposed to different cultures and the oppor-tunity to see hope more than my peers.”

Rev Rich returns to the lakecity

Sean Glanville photoTerrance Richmond, right, and friend/man-ager Elijah Johnson pose in front of the 'Living Life on a LoveQuest' sign made by Williams Lake youth. Richmond, a pastor from Oakland, California, was in the lakecity this past weekend promoting peace.

Angie Mindus photoRoommates and friends Juanita Street and Debbie Symes pin on purple ribbons to show their support toward action on violence against women last week duing a luncheon hosted by the Chiwid Transition House. Symes said she attend-ed the luncheon "on behalf of all the women who have been used and abused .. and I'm one of them." Symes said after years of being silent on the issue, she has since found her voice and now speaks up against violence.

The Alexis Creek Aces captured first place at the 2012 Horsefly Volleyball Tournament Thursday. Alexis Creek won the eight-team Senior Division (Grades 8-10), with a perfect 4-0 win-loss record. Alexis Creek played Horsefly 2 in the final game which needed a third set to decide a winner. Alexis Creek won the open-ing set 25-17, dropped the second set 25-21, before taking the third set 15-6.

Members of the winning Alexis Creek side coached by Shane Sliziak include Jesse Mulvahill, Wyatt Mulvahill, Nico Haskins, Cheyenne Quilt, Taryn Dick, and Corrine Hance. The tournament Most Valuable Player went to

Hance for her excellent play, especially from the service line.

Tatla Lake won the Intermediate Division (Grades 4-7) of the tournament. Tatla Lake defeated Alexis Creek in two straight sets in the final game to earn the school the pennant. Members of the winning Tatla Lake squad coached by Frances McCoubrey include Ada Klepaz, Dorian Lavoie, Ryder Mason, Ronya Witter, Lucas Lavoie, Katrina Squinas, and Courtney McMann. Members of the second place Alexis Creek squad include Emma Feldinger, Jace Myers, Faith Myers, Jentara Charleyboy, Mary-Jane Char, Austin Char, Jordan Char, Derian Hance, Ellen Sam and Lakota Hance.

The tournament

featured many rural schools from across the district includ-ing: Alexis Creek, Horsefly, Dog Creek, Rosie Seymour (Canoe Creek), Big Lake, Likely, Tatla Lake, Distance Ed.

The tournament also featured visits from School District 27 Superintendant Mark Thiessen and Assistant Superintendant Harj Manhas who both took in the action and vol-unteered as volleyball officials.

Horsefly school put on a fabulous fun day for the stu-dents and provided all participants with a pizza lunch. Horsefly Principal Calvin Dubray did a phenom-enal job of organiz-ing the tournament. Another special thanks to all the officials and staff who volunteered.

ALEXIS CREEK: WINS

Horsefly serves up SD 27 volleyball action

Sean GlanvilleCariboo Advisor

The Lac La Hache Tomahawks dropped a close 5-4 decision to the Quesnel Kangaroos Saturday night in the Gold Pan City. Wade Balbirnie scored his second of the game at 17:16 of the third period to cut Quesnel’s lead to 5-4 but Lac La Hache were unable to tie the contest with the extra attacker and the ‘Roos held on for the win. The score-line was a bit flattering for the Tomahawk’s as they were badly out-shot 56-30. Despite picking up the loss, Tomahawks’ netminder Willie Sellars had a great game. He handled more rubber than a Kal Tire worker making 51 saves on 56 shots.

Quesnel’s Waylon Heureux scored 3:21 into the match to give the home side a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.

Balbirnie tied the game 1-1 for Lac La Hache at 3:45 of

the second period on the power-play. Quesnel answered with a power-play marker of their own at 7:20 from Justin Fulton to take a 2-1 lead. Quesnel would add another from Joel Boyetchko just 28 seconds later at 7:48 to take a 3-1 lead heading into the third period.

In the final frame Lac La Hache got one back just 30 ticks in as Ty Moses, a new arrival from the Columbia Valley Thunder of the KIJHL, scored his first goal as a Tomahawk to cut the lead to 3-2. A turning point in the game came at 6:36 of the period with Lac La Hache was on the pow-er-play looking to tie the game 3-3, they gave up a short-handed marker to Levon Johnson restor-ing Quesnel’s two goal cushion at 4-2. Robin Gilbert responded for Lac La Hache on the power-play 19 seconds later at 6:55 to again cut the lead to one at 4-3.

Nick Tomassetti found the net at 15:58 to put Quesnel ahead 5-3 and they hung on for the 5-4 win. Attendance for the game was 655.

Tomahawk’s players with multi-point games included Balbirnie (2G, 1A) and Drew Rose (2A). Both Balbirnie and Rose are tied for seventh in league scoring with 19 points each. Quesnel’s Justin Fulton picked up two points and moves into a tie for the CIHL scoring lead with Williams Lake’s Nathan Zurak, both have 24 points in 12 games.

With the victory Quesnel move just two points back of the reeling Tomahawks in the CIHL East Division but have a game in hand. Quesnel have a 5-6-1 win-loss-overtime loss record and 11 points, and Lac La Hache sport a 6-6-1 record and 13 points. The Williams Lake Stampeders lead the division with an 8-3-1 record and 17 points.

Alexis Creek Aces show off their first place pennant after winning the Senior Division (Grade 8-10) at the 2012 Horsefly Volleyball Tournament Thursday. Members of the winning team include Jesse Mulvahill,left, Corrine Hance, Nico Haskins, Wyatt Mulvahill, Cheyenne Quilt, and Taryn Elkins.

Always evolving to meet the needs of its health-conscious cus-tomers, the Hobbit House has expanded its service once again

-- this time opening up a juice bar and coffee house.

“It’s been well-received,” says owner Leanne Kunka, who set up the 20-plus seating service in her

building on First Ave and had a “soft open-ing” of the juice bar last Friday.

“There are days we can hardly grow the wheatgrass quick enough.”

Yes, that’s right, she said wheatgrass.

Kunka grows the superfood from organ-ic winter wheat berries there right in the store and runs it through a hand grinder to make

The Hobbit House’s signature wheatgrass slammer -- two ounces of wheatgrass served straight up with an orange slice chaser.

Kunka also serves organic smoothies, wholesome snacks and specialty coffees made from Uncle Paul’s organic coffee beans as well as many other

local products.“It was never too

far from my mind,” Kunka said of creating a gathering place at her healing centre, which offers many holistic workers in its lower level as well as natural products in its retail store.

“There wasn’t a place (in town) where

the product was made from scratch, organic and truly healthy.”

Kunka said listen-ing to the needs of her customers has made the store what it is today, and she's excited about the new venture.

“It's all just come together.”

An open invitation to the residence of Williams Lake and surrounding areas

to share in the celebration of thefestive season over dinner.

Recent incidents involving emergency vehicles have prompted the Williams Lake Fire Department to remind residents to pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and siren on.

The British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, Section 177, states: “On the immediate approach of an emergency vehicle giving an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle, and showing a visible flashing red light, except when otherwise directed by a peace offi-cer, a driver must yield the right of way, and immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the nearest edge or curb of the roadway, clear of an intersection, and stop and remain in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.”

Here’s how to help:• Signal, pull over to

the nearest edge of the road on the approach of an emergency vehicle and stop

• If at an intersec-

tion, move out of the intersection if it is safe to do so, and then stop at the edge of the road until the emergency vehicle has passed

• Check for addi-tional emergency vehi-

cles before pulling back out onto the roadway

• Use your rearview mirror(s) frequently to monitor for emergency vehicles approaching from the rear

• You may see an

emergency vehicle before you hear it. Be attentive to the flashing lights. It will give you more time to select a safe place to pull over.

City reminds drivers to pull over

PLAYING FOR KEEPSGeorge (Gerard Butler) once had it all—fame, fortune, a professional soccer career and a beau-tiful wife (Jessica Biel). But when a knee injury forces him off the field for good, he winds up losing more than just his career. His wife takes their young son and leaves because of George’s selfish and irresponsible behavior and the fallen star is reduced to making sports casting demo tapes in his guest house just to make ends meet.When the opportunity arises to take over coaching their son’s losing soccer team, George takes uses the gig to try and redeem himself. The only problem is, he can’t seem to avoid getting caught up in the messed up lives of his players’ families—like the father (Dennis Quaid) who throws money at him for favors, the wife (Uma Thurman) who manages to make her way into his bed while he’s out, or the mother (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who bribes him into sleeping with her by offering him his dream job.In between trying to stay out of trouble and landing a respectable job with a sports net-work, George struggles to reconnect with his family, who are already on the brink of losing any faith in him as a father.

IN THEATRES THE HOBBIT:AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY 3D

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) must go on a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was con-quered by the dragon Smaug. Unexpectedly approached by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Bilbo agrees to join a company of dwarves led by legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield.

The journey takes them through treacher-ous lands swarming with goblins and orcs, deadly wargs and giant spiders, shapeshifters and sorcerers and ultimately leads Baggins to finds a magical gold ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth.

Based on The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

It doesn’t hurt to be ready for that big Christmas dinner, no running around at the last moment to try and buy fresh cranber-ries or something else needed for the meal. Spending family time around the dinner table is eroding in our society because we all live, work and play in such a hectic manner. So at Christmas we do make more time to spend with the family, relatives, and friends, and lots of that time is spent around a din-ner table. It’s time to start thinking about the Christmas dinner…one of the most important

meals of the year…one that usually involves family and friends and one meal we don’t want to mess up.

Turkeys, hams, chickens and some-times nice beef roast are served depending upon your family tradition. Besides the entrée of the usually big turkey, there

are many other foods like yams, salads, tasty gravies and great des-serts that go along with the ole bird. There, in my estimation, cannot be a Christmas Dinner without cranberry sauce of some kind. We often think of cranberries only for Thanksgiving and Christmas when we consume turkey.There are many cranberry festivals around North America and there is also a band from Ireland called Cranberries. Cranberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and anti-oxidants, which may protect against cancer, heart diseases and other

diseases.Here’s a couple of

Cranberry recipes you might like to try this Christmas.

One-and-one-half cups fresh cranberries

Three-quarters cup of white sugar or splen-da

Three Tbsps of brandy…

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Mix cranberries and sugar in a baking dish…

Bake for one hour in preheated oven, mix-ing frequently…Mix in the brandy just before serving (amount for six serving)

Six ounces of cran-

berriesOne half cup white

sugar (splenda)One-half cup of

orange juiceIn a medium sized

saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranber-ries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

I hope you have a great Christmas din-ner with family, and friends.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking

Aries, you will have to work hard at presenting a different image if you want to win over a few more fans. It might take a little time, but it is definitely within the realm of possibility.

Taurus, take a break no matter how busy you are this week. It is for your own good to recharge with some R&R and then get back on track at work.

Unexpected things can happen when you explore new possibilities, Gemini. Get out there and immerse yourself in other social circles so that you can take advantage of opportunities.

Cancer, run your ideas by a few people this week before you make a big presentation. This will help you to revise and tweak anything that needs a little work.

Leo, you will be full of energy this week and that energy helps you handle whatever is put on your plate. Take advantage of your productivity with a few days off next week.

Virgo, jump on an opportunity to take a vacation. There won’t be many other opportunities this year to enjoy a vacation. So go along even if it’s related to work.

There are too many happy things going on in your life to let any of the negative things bring you down, Libra. Face challenges with a smile, and you’ll sail through.

Scorpio, despite firm convictions you cannot change others’ viewpoints all of the time. Don’t be hard on yourself if other people do not see things the same way as you do.

Sagittarius, sometimes you may believe there isn’t room for anyone else in the spotlight but you. Don’t let your ego get in the way of friendships. Share the glory.

Capricorn, give an idea that would require some significant changes its due consideration. This can impact both your career and personal life in a positive way.

It may seem like too much money is going out of your pocket and not enough coming in, Aquarius. But the budget will balance out this month. Rest easy when making purchases.

Start a creative project that can be turned into something you keep for yourself, Pisces. It’s nice to enjoy the fruits of your creative labors.
