At its regular mee-tin Dec. 20, City Council approved a Development Permit for Platform Properties for construction of a three-unit retail building at 700-1185 Prosperity Ridge.

The proposed com-mercial retail building will house three store-fronts totaling 24,000 square feet and an additional 116 parking spaces. In October, the company began con-struction on a 10,000

square foot building expected to house six or seven tenants.

“This developer has applied for two devel-opment permits in the last few months alone, and there may be a third and even

fourth Platform build-ing in the works for Prosperity Ridge,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “This is good news for the City, and shows the confidence devel-opers have in our city and its economy.”

The Williams Lake RCMP are advising the public of a scam that is currently circulating through the community.

“Its not a new scam,” said Sgt. Rick Lebeuf. “It’s been around for a long time.”

Sgt. Lebeuf said a local bank was hit with scram when just under $20,000 was deposited into an account with fraudulent documents and the bank didn’t catch it right away.

“Before the bank caught it, $17,000 was trans-ferred to China, and $2,500 to the U.S.,” said Sgt. Lebeuf. “And now the person making the deposit is left to answer questions.’

Sgt. Lebeuf said in most cases individuals are being contacted by unknown source and are pro-vided with a cheque to deposit into their personal bank accounts. They are then asked to transfer some of the money to another person, usually

over seas, on the promise that they will be reim-bursed at a later date.

“People are getting investigated and most often they are victim’s themselves,” said Lebeuf. “It sounds to good to be true- it probably is”

The RCMP is also alerting the community that they have received counterfeit $5 bills from a local business and that the bill was of very high quality.

“We are urging local business to be cau-tious and spend time examining bills,” said Sgt. Lebeuf.

The RCMP has also been advised that coun-terfeit $100 notes have been used in Quesnel.

For more information on counterfeit notes please go to the Bank of Canada web site or to the Williams Lake RCMP detachment for retail-ers information if needed.

What started out as a couple of people play-ing ukuleles around a dining room table has

evolved into full-fledged jam sessions that most weeks involves close to 20 people. Not to men-tion a sprinkle of per-formances throughout

town.Gad-Z-Ukes is the

name of the drop-in ukulele group that holds jam sessions every Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society. The group started when Jean Wellburn and Elizabeth Cornett started discuss-ing the idea of a singing group, and Wellburn said ‘What about uku-leles?’ and the rest is history.

Gad-Z-Ukes stands for Guys and Dolls Ukulele, and Cornett and her husband came up with the name. The group has no definitive leader, but is ultimately just a fun practice jam session between fellow ukulele players.

“ No angst - that is the kind of theme of what we want to do,” says Wellburn. “We just want to sing and play and have fun.”

Though the group started out as strictly a fun drop-in jam session, they have been seen all around town sharing their fun, catchy uku-lele playing with the

community.The group has

started doing casual performances around town over the last year or so at places such as the Farmers Market, out front of the Arts and Culture Centre (Old Fire Hall) during Stampede and more recently at the Medieval Market, Cowboy Christmas, and the Community Band and Friends concert.

“I think it’s great to share music with the public,” says Cornett. “It shows people (uku-lele) can be fun at any age, for anyone, at any ability.”

The group started with about six or seven people according to Wellburn, and she says they really wanted to tap into a resurgence of ukulele that was being felt all around the world that she herself picked up from her sister in Victoria.

“You feel happy after you’ve sung these songs for a couple of hours,” says Wellburn. “It makes us really happy to look up and see everybody is singing along.”

Welburn and Cornett explain how Gad-Z-

Ukes plays songs that are being passed down generation from gen-eration – happy, easy to sing along to songs.

“We started with just a few simple songs, and it’s just grown from there,” says Cornett.

The group is always encouraging others to come join the jam ses-sions. Wellburn says there is no pressure to perform and even if you don’t think you are very musical to just get yourself a ukulele and come join them.

“We did a work-shop before and about 35 people came. Mike Butterfield led the workshop and he is going to lead another one in the spring,” says Wellburn.

“Mike is mentoring us as we go along,” says Wellburn. “He is help-ing us immensely and it’s just wonderful to have him.”

For anyone interest-ed in playing ukulele, Wellburn and Cornett encouraged them to come to one of their drop-in sessions and to really feel inspired, they suggest youtube-ing the video ‘Mighty Ukulele.’

Any good idea has to start with someone somewhere and for the Williams Lake volun-teer mounted patrol that place was the trail rider stall and the per-son was Dave Dickson.

“I saw two ladies riding down the street on their horses and thought ‘Wow, these ladies should be doing patrol,” says Dickson who is the Safer Community Coordinator at the Williams Lake RCMP detachment.

Dickson figured

since Williams Lake had citizens on patrol it made sense since we are in cowboy coun-try to have a mounted patrol.

“Dave has been a big part- and without his support and the RCMP’s support it wouldn’t have worked,” said Andy Sullivan who leads the patrol.

There are currently about seven riders who are lead by Sullivan, him along with the other riders patrol the streets, parks, and back roads of the lakecity and surrounding area.

The riders patrol on

their own time as well as take part in different events such as parades, runs, and of course the Stampede.

“We are the eyes and ears for the commu-nity – we are not to get involved,” says Sherry Rennie who has been riding with the patrol since it began in June of 2010.

The way the mount-ed patrol works is if they see something sus-picious, or wrong going on out on their patrols, they call a number that is directly linked to the RCMP detachment. They then just wait

for the RCMP officers according to Sullivan.

“It appears from our research that we are the only mounted police (in Canada) that works as closely with the RCMP,” says Sullivan.

Three of riders, Rennie along with Kathy Lovell and Zora Vignjjev, all say they like being part of the mounted patrol because they love riding and making a difference in their community.

They ladies have come across stolen property, intoxicated people, and even some teenagers with potato

guns in the river valley.One thing the ladies

say the do almost every-where they go is let children pet the horses.

“It’s fun, we enjoy ourselves during our patrols,’ says Rennie. “It’s the kids – the kids eyes glow when they see us, the kids just love the horses.”

If other residents in town are interested in joining Sullivan and the other riders they can contact Andy. They must have their own horse, and will need to have a criminal record check as well as pass an evaluation with their horse.

“Horses need to be calm and not going to

easily be spooked,” says Sullivan. “There is an assessment of the horse and how well they han-dle the horse.”

Sullivan and Dickson both agree that the mounted patrol program has been well received by the pub-lic, and there has been little negative feedback from the community.

“We do fertilize where we go,” says Vignjevic. “And not everyone loves that.”

According to Sullivan, the Mounted Patrol has logged over 500 hours of patrol since Jan. 1st 2011, and hope to keep it up going forward into the new year.

Mounted Patrol: Eyes and ears for the RCMP

Page 6: December 28, 2011 Cariboo Advisor

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring except for my spouse, who stayed up late making sure everything was under control. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, covered with soot and puppy dog hair, in the hope that Saint Carmen soon would be there. (I hope Clement Moore doesn’t sue me.) Up on the roof there raised such a clatter, as the string of lights I had put up, came down on the ladder. And I decided not to spring from my bed to see what was the matter, for I am sure Santa could find his way now with all these

GPS devices out there.With Christmas now

behind us, we look for-ward to the new year and how to play it the next time around. For instance, I am going to hire a professional wrapper. Carmen gave me the job of wrap-ping our presents this year as she was busy decorating the house

to within an inch of its life. The only place she missed was the inside of the fireplace. While the presents still looked like they were all wrapped by a dysfunctional adult, I pride myself that I did managed to use less than 30 rolls of scotch tape this year.

Our 70 Mile com-munity supper, an annual event, was well put out with a fine tur-key dinner and loads of homemade pas-tries, (Okay I admit, I smuggled some mince tarts home in my pock-et.) There were sing-along carols and some of the local kids put on a Christmas pag-eant, their handmade costumes made from fabric scrounged at the

Seventy Mile Access Center thrift shop. They ended by sing-ing Happy Birthday to Jesus. I am reminded that in the Cariboo past, people came to these festivities on horseback, real sheep were used on stage and a couple of reluctant cowboys were coerced into playing shepherds. (Much to the butt of relentless jokes there-after.)

The road was in terrible shape and took some risk get-ting there. It was not plowed, with a foot of snow covering a sheet of ice. One fellow said it was the worst driving he’d seen in 37 years. To me however, full of the Christmas spirit, I loved driving through a

snowy Christmas card and marveling at the ice crystals sparkling in the headlights.

The big freeze caused us some con-sternation and I had trouble getting into our mailbox. The bat-teries in the lock de-icer didn’t work and so I sprayed it with the liquid de-icer stuff but that wouldn’t work either. Then I gave it a much more generous squirt. Nope. Finally, I held a lighter up to the lock and thereby set fire to my gloves. I tried valiantly to blow them out but they were too well soaked with the de-icer. As I was jumping up and down flailing my flam-ing gloves in the wind, Carmen took the occa-

sion to roll down the car window and ask; “Just what the hell are you doing?” “Trying to warm up my hands”: I counter.

We had a great time this holiday, skiing, tobogganing, fishing through the ice and playing hockey on our rink on the lake. But the new Shelty pup I bought for Carmen kept stealing the puck. Included in our festivi-ties of course was a fine Christmas dinner with some of the local ranch-ers and cowboys sitting in and an evening of funny stories shared. Taking down all the decorations afterwards tore me away from the fireplace channel, where I just wanted to sit and recuperate from

all the frivolity.I remember once as

a young boy, trudging through the snow with my mother, we deliv-ered a Christmas bas-ket to a widow and her three small children living in a cabin down the road. Her eyes shinning in gratitude threw new light on the meaning of Christmas and the wonder of this time of year, where to some degree, we all feel a little blessed and more open to loving others. So Dash Away, Dash Away, Dash Away All! Lets hope to God Mr. Claus doesn’t have a fall, (as my insurance doesn’t cover it.) And so goes the vision of Santa and his reindeer, kept in our hearts for yet another year.

A tale of a country Christmas gone past

Small goals can lead to great results

Courtney Taylor Photo Tim Horton's sponsored a free skate Dec. 18 and eight-year old Reese Rivet has some fun on the ice along with lots of others taking advantage fo the free skate. The next free skate is tomor-row, Dec. 29 1 - 2:30 and is sponsored by Slurplus Herby's.

As December 31, 2011 draws near, most of us can’t help but think about the last year: the good and the bad. As we get older, it seems the time just goes by faster and fast-er. When we were in school it seemed that it took forever for the end of the school year to come or for Christmas morning to come so we could open all our wonderful gifts. Now it seems Christmas sneaks us on us all too quickly, and just as quickly it’s all behind us and we start fresh on the new year that is before us.

A lot of us will decide 2012 will be the year of big changes in the form of new year’s reso-

lutions we may or may not keep (most likely the latter for most of us). Or some of us may just ignore the new year all together and keep on with life like noth-ing has changed, and really that is the case. Jan. 1 is just another day on the calendar.

Time is a tricky thing, it always seems to go by too quickly when we wish it would just slow down. And we want time to speed right by; it seems to grind to halt.

So how about those new year resolutions?

I for one, as with years gone past, will not be making any resolu-tions. I have found in the past when I make

resolutions it’s only weeks into the new year that I am back doing the same bad habits or have fallen off the wagon on route to the ultimate goal of my resolution.

Instead of making an unattainable resolu-tion, I will just give myself goals to make: small ones that are easy to achieve, and increase the difficultly of my goals as the year pro-gresses. Then maybe by Dec. 2012 I will have made to my ultimate goal for the year.

I am sure the year will fly by, and once again I will be faced with the end of the year and a new year beginning. With the

new year, I will be faced once again with the task of deciding how I want the year to go for myself.

It’s always good to start small, and that is advice I pass on. When faced with what seems to be an unachievable goal it is often discour-aging so we end up fail-ing before we have even begun. Which is why I think small, realistic goals are the way to go with new year’s reso-lutions or heck don’t make any – it’s totally up to you. Resolutions or not, 2012 is coming and with it a whole new year of your life full of ups, downs, and lots of stuff in between.

Happy New Years!

Looking forward to Prosperity?Just last week, City

council approved yet another retail building for Prosperity Ridge, which for the most part will be met with mixed feelings from people in town.

Some will see it as part of the economic growth of the City that

needs to happen, and others will see it has a negative to the develop-ment of local business-es and the downtown core.

As of right now, there is currently a 10,000-plus square foot retail space being built across from Walmart, the spe-

cifics of which retail businesses is still under wraps but there are plenty of rumours swirl-ing around town.

This newest building that has been approved will be 24,000 square feet with three storefronts. This new building will surely start a whole new

set of rumours in town.As much as the City

moves forward on devel-oping Prosperity Ridge, the downtown core cannot be forgotten. Hopefully with a bit of luck, both Prosperity Ridge and the down-town core will both flourish in 2012.

There is a prediction the world will come to an end next year.

Don’t sell any of your stock market shares just yet, I don’t think we are going to hell in a hand-basket for some time.

That’s my only state-ment about the future.

Canadians can expect some downgrading in our finances because of the world market situa-tion. However life must carry on, and ‘Move Forward... that’s what is happening in Williams Lake. City council approved a develop-ment permit for more storefront property on Prosperity Ridge by Platform Properties. That where Wal Mart is located.

It is a known fact that developers and business follow Wal Mart. It happens all around North America. When Wal Mart moves into a area , they have done their homework in regards to that commu-nity and they are very

seldom ever wrong. So why wouldn’t another store try to build on that success of a Wal Mart and move close to them as they will gener-ate traffic to the area.

Council is in a bit of a catch 22 situation, it wants to attract indus-try and stores into town and it wants to revital-ize the downtown area. Right now new business is not going downtown.

Quesnel and other communities through-out BC have had to grow despite having two distinct shopping areas.

For years in these

cities and towns their downtown was the centre of the universe, then that area would suffer when a shop-ping centre located out of the downtown core and more new business followed. Look at the stores that followed Wal Mart to Quesnel! For some time Downtown Quesnel didn’t look very frisky and vibrant. Then changes took place slowly and with time their downtown, again became a good place to do business.

So now, most of the development in Williams Lake is hap-pening away from the downtown area.

What does that mean for the centre of the community? How will the Business Improvement Assoc help?

Right now the city needs some new busi-ness activity and they offer tax rewards to those who come into the centre area of town.

Council wants to have a vibrant downtown and a busy adjoining busi-ness area as well, how-ever in Williams Lake, it appears now, that is not happening.

The business com-munity really shifted when Canadian Tire moved to its present location, then in came Wal Mart, and now a second request for more business space in that area, in a few short months.

I understand we will shortly be hearing from the city regarding the

‘new’ economic devel-opment

plan. Will Mayor Cook and her band of Merry Councillors now lead us into a path of fiscal business expansion for 2012 and beyond?

Good Fortune to Mayor Kerry Cook and Council as we move into a New Year that is expected to grow very little in British Columbia and Canada.

Keep a Steady hand on the Tiller, Captain!

May Laughter be a constant companion.

Contemplating Ken with Ken Wilson

Life must carry on and move forward…

At its inaugural meeting Dec. 6, City Council proclaimed January 2, 2012 as Wrestling Day, a municipal holiday that is part of what makes Williams Lake unique.

Every year since 1978, City Council decides whether to proclaim the holiday the following January, and this year, again, residents will observe Wrestling Day in Williams Lake, the only

people in Canada - and probably the world - to do so.

Pioneer merchants Alistair Mackenzie and Syd Western came up the holiday one cold January 2 in the 1930s, after noticing no one was visiting their shops. Other merchants agreed

it was a good day to have a holiday.

The name Wrestling Day is due to the logic that the Day follow-ing Christmas is Boxing Day. Further reasoning was that many residents were wrestling with a hangover. It’s unclear whether Syd Western

or Ken Ride came up with the name.

In 1942, the Village Commission pro-claimed Wrestling Day an official civic holiday, and passed a bylaw to that effect in 1959.

Wrestling Day was abolished in 1977, but reinstated the follow-

ing year after residents objected.

Residents opposed to the cancellation were successful in get-ting town council to reinstate the holiday the next year, and city councils have pro-claimed it every year since.

Whether you work, rest, or play, enjoy Wrestling Day in 2012, and take pride in the fact that it is our very own special holiday.

Dog RegistrationWhy should I license my dog, it never leaves the yard?Dog owners like to believe that their dogs will never go missing. But the chances are that your dog will wander off at some point in its life.

All dogs over the age of 2 months in the City must be licensed for the current year. If your dog is not licensed you could receive a $50.00 ne.

Where do my dog license dollars go?At two months of age all dogs must be licensed in the City of Williams Lake. Dogs’ licenses are their ticket home. Please ensure contact information with the City is up to date. It also lets other citizens know that a dog at large has a home and is not a stray. The money collected for dog licensing goes in to the Williams Lake BCSPCA and the Animal Control Bylaw Services.

Bene ts of a City of Williams Lake dog license:Reunites dogs with the ownerDeliver public education programsHelp neighbors resolve their animal related con ictsMeans your dog will spend less time in the shelter which reduces stress and minimizing the risk of contracting a disease

Additional bene ts:Protection from dangerous dogsEducate dog owners about responsible ownershipWarm shelter and care for the dogsInvestigation of dog attacksAs well licensing encourages population control. Reduced licensing fees encourage owners to spay/neuter their dogs.Dog licensing is also a way for the City to get a better understanding of the number of dog owners throughout the city. With accurate information on the number of dogs residing in particular areas, the city may be able to plan and provide for various dog owner needs, such as municipal dog parks and spay/neuter initiatives.

Furthermore, licensing is a way to prove ownership of your dog. Unfortunately, dogs like any other property can be stolen. Licensing gives you a way to prove that your dog belongs to you. You can increase your chances of having your dog returned to you by providing your dog’s breed, sex and other identifying features (tattoos, microchips etc) when you license.

License Fees:

Spayed or neutered dog $10.00Unspayed or unneutered dog $20.00Late application fee (after March 31st) $10.00 plus regular license feeReplacement license tag $5.00Aggressive dog $200.00

If your dog is not currently correctly licensed and is impounded a $50.00 fee will be added to your total. (this is in addition to the licensing, impounding and boarding fees).

How often do I need to renew my license?Once a year. Your dog’s license is valid for one year from January 1st to December 31st.

CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE WINTER GARBAGE CART

With winter here, the City of Williams Lake is reminding its residents of the importance of getting your garbage and recycling carts to the curb at 7:00 am on your collection day. Here are some friendly reminders to ensure your garbage collection service continues to be as smooth as possible.

• Winter snow and colder weather causes schedules to be delayed or need to be adjusted. These adjustments may cause your usual collection time to change from day to day. The only way to ensure your solid waste is collected on your day is to have your cart at the curb at 7:00am.

• Putting your cart on the curb the night before only increases the risk of vandalism during the night and interferes with snow removal equipment.

• Put your carts as close to the pavement as possible. If the cart is on top of a snow bank or other obstruction it cannot be picked up.

• Remove your cart from the curb the same day it was collected to ensure your empty carts do not interfere with snow removal equipment.

“WRESTLING DAY”

The Council of the City of Williams Lake has, by Resolution Number 418/11, declared January 2, 2011 as a Public Holiday in the

City of Williams Lake, to be known as “Wrestling Day”, pursuant to Section 157 of the

Community Charter.

Courtney Taylor Cariboo AdvisorThe Cariboo Memorial Complex host a great

range of activities for all skill levels and ages, giving a wide range of people the opportunity to stay active and there is a social aspect for the regulars who use the facilities.

Herb Nakada has been using the facilities at the complex on a regular basis since he retired seven years ago, and says he enjoys the company of the other regulars who frequent the weight room.

“I come everyday – seven days a week,” says Nakada. “I am really glad we have this complex here – I use it lots.”

While at the complex Nakada uses the weight room to stretch and to just generally keep active.

“I am an Elder – 72 years old,” says Nakada. “I think it’s really important to stay fit and keep active.”

Nakada started using the complex on a regular basis after he retired seven years ago, and now spends a couple hours everyday at the pool using the weight room, sauna, steam room, and whirl pool.

“The pool has very nice features,” he says. ‘I never had time before I retired to exercise, but now I do.”

Nakada says he sees people in walkers and using canes and knows that is in his future, but he wants to put it off for as long as he can. He feels coming to the weight room everyday helps him to be more fit.

“I think the new design is a lot better, but the weight room is still small,” says Nakada. “But I stay healthier by coming here and that’s good.”

Another regular at the complex is Bev Hinton, who comes regularly for aqua fit classes.

“We have really good music, and it’s a great time,” she says.

Hinton has been coming twice a week to the pool since she moved to Williams Lake nine years ago, and before that she participated in aqua fit classes in Campbell River and Prince George.

Both Hinton and Nakada agree the complex is a great place to come to get some exercise.

There is different drop-in aqua fit classes through the week and the schedule can be found in the Active Living Guide as well as online at activewilliamslake.ca.

The weight room is open seven days a week 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Fridays, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturdays, and 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Economic Development Marketing

Council received a report from the Economic Development Manager regarding the creation of economic

development marketing materials to assist with implementation of the Business Expansion and Attraction Strategy

(BEAS).The new marketing

materials will incor-porate existing data and marketing efforts. In addition to provid-ing tangible market-ing products to imple-ment early and practical action of the BEAS, the new materials will also set the stage for a more comprehensive commu-nity-involved branding process.SmartTool Contract

– Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Calculating Program

Council approved exe-cution of the SmartTool contract for the City's emissions accounting and CARIP submis-sions. The Provincial government has devel-oped an online program, called SmartTool, which calculates the City’s emissions from upload-

ing its fuel/energy bills. The program was used as a no cost trial for cal-culating the City’s 2010 emissions. It is simple to use and saves significant time in completing the City’s GHG inventories. The City will have the use of SmartTool for both 2011 and 2012 calculations for $78.12.Stampede Park User Group Leases

Council approved the renewal of the Leases of the Williams Lake Stampede Association, Williams Lake Trailriders, Cariboo Friendship Society, Williams Lake Curling Club and the Gavin Lake Forest Education Centre for the designat-ed Stampede Grounds areas for a five-year term from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016.Community Recreation Program Grants Application

Council approved submission of an applica-tion to the Community Recreation Program for $550,676 to under-take the construction of an underpass of the CN lines at the former Praxair location, and committed the City’s share of $137,66, sub-ject to program funding. Council directed staff to approach CN Rail about the possibility of part-nering on the project. An underpass at the for-mer Praxair site would provide essential access to the River Valley Trail system, the proposed trail head at the foot of

Oliver Street and con-nections points to the Lake, South Lakeside, Westside and the Stampede Grounds. The land for this project has already been acquired and preliminary plan-ning and costing has already been completed.

COME OUT FOR A DAYOR A WEEKEND STAY!

Well here we are again just a few short days before Christmas! Hope you are all ready! Just to let you know the News Years Dance at the Community Hall, featuring The Little Horsefly Country Band, is completely sold out! The pubs New Years Dinner is a sell out as well! I met with a wonderful gentleman that was born and raised out here in Horsefly, he is also the 2nd old-est long term citizen out here. This man is Ernie Gruhs & I will say an amazing man he is. He married his lovely wife ,Chris in 1968, and they have 2 children, A daughter Rachael (who lives in Horsefly) & a son Jason (in Calgary). I wanted to find out about how the Horsefly Fire department was formed, and no one better to ask about this than Ernie. He told me that a man called Bill Szakas came out this way in the early 1980, he purchased the ser-vice station and had the Hardings running it. In and around 1992 Bill went to an auction out in Calgary, and purchased a Fire Truck. He donated it to the community of Horsefly. Another Friend of Bill and Ernie’s called Tom Bunn decid-ed to organize a group of people to form a Fire Department. They had a few meetings with about 50 peo-ple showing up each time and that is how it all began. So our Horsefly Fire Department was formed in 1992 with approximately 16 volun-teers, Tom Bunn was the fire chief and Ernie was a fireman, they had 2 hour practices every Tuesday (as they still do now). In 1993 Randy Baxter became Fire Chief and Tom was assistant chief. Randy worked for the road services out here and secured up a spot to practice, and a bay for the fire truck at a complex in the Village of Horsefly. After the first year the Fire department found out that the truck they had was only a tanker truck not a pumper truck. So they fund raised enough money to purchase another truck which met the specifications for fire regulations. The department continued to work hard to pur-chase there own property to have the equipment and fire department on. They secured the land thru BC building Corporation that the old forestry site used to have in 1996

. They subdivided one property off and sold it, and sold one of the houses, and with continued fund-raising they were able to completely pay for it. In 1996 they established one of the first Fire departments that had a first responder program, they trained 6 qualified people, And in 2004 we got 911. It takes so many volunteers to make this organization work, some of the past chiefs have been Ernie Gruhs, Paul O’Toole, Neil Sukert and Rachael Gruhs. The Fire Chief right now is Cecile Morhart. Tons of fire fighters ,first responders, fund rais-ing people, and so many other people have worked so hard to keep this amazing department alive and thriving. We are an Independent Department out here in Horsefly and have chosen to be that way since 1992. There is no Regional District Funding for us ,it is all Volunteer based. We collect Fire levy’s from our residents, dona-tions, and fund raise to support this team of amazing people, that help so many in our community. This way the Fire department is able to go to all areas of our community for first responder calls as well as fire calls. Ernie and Chris are also volunteers in so many of our other community organizations I would like to honour them as well as many others that spend tons of hours of there time devoting to our little community! And in saying that if you have a little time, don’t be shy ,donate a little of it, to a worthy cause in your community! Hope you all have a Happy New Year! All the Best! Cheers Dianna.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas because that means cross-country skiing at Bull Mountain. This

Cariboo gem features 30 km of cross-country ski trails. 3.5 km of the trails are lit for night skiing until 10 pm. A Snowcat tracksetter grooms the trails for

both classic and skate skiing.

The Williams Lake Crosscountry Ski Club is hosting Family Fun Day at Bull Mountain on Sunday January 1st

from 1-3 pm. Skiers of all abilities are invited to try the free cross-country ski lessons. This event is being sponsored by Caribou Ski and Barking Spider

Bike Shop. Caribou Ski will be providing free demo no-wax skis, poles and boots. Skiers who have their own gear are encouraged to use their own skis.

Remember to dress in layers to avoid over-heating.

To discover more about this wonderful facility, please check out the Williams Lake

Crosscountry Ski Club at www.bullmountain.ca. Do a little snow dance and come join us at Family Fun Day at Bull Mountain on January 1st.

Bull Mountain cross country skiing: fun for the whole family

HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK

Brought to you byBOB PATERSON

HOMES INC.

(NC)—Are your closets taking on a life of their own? Do you keep forgetting where you left your house keys? Has the pile of bills and mail on your kitchen table gotten to the point where it’s spilling over? If you are nodding your head right now, then clutter and chaos has crept into your home. Start the New Year on the right foot. It’s time to apply the ever-popular notion “out with the old and in with the new” to where it’s most needed: your home.

The thought of where to start may be overwhelming, so it’s best to take on a small project like your linen

closet or medicine cabinet.

If you have not yet been introduced to an electronic labeller, it’s time to get one. A labeller will be your best friend throughout the organizational process. Go for a lightweight handheld model such as the PT-1090 from Brother, available at office supply stores or

online at brother.ca

The Four Container Method

If you apply this simple system to getting organized, you’ll save yourself lots of headaches. Get four boxes and label them as such:

1. Trash—this should include items that you don’t need

and are not in good enough condition to sell or donate.

2. Donate/Sell—think about the use someone else might get out of your unwanted items by donating to a charitable organization or selling them at a garage sale. An electronic labeller can also be a handy way to price-tag everything.

3. Store—put items in here that you cannot part with but do not need on a regular basis. Make an inventory of the items before you box them. Group similar items together and clearly label each box before you store it.

4. Keep—this

should be your smallest category. These are items that you use on a regular basis. If the items in this box will not fit into your home without creating clutter, try to reassess if you really need them. A good rule to follow is if you have not used or worn it in over two years, then you do not need it.

Pick Three Things

and Throw Them Out

If you’re having a hard time letting go of items, here’s a tip for you. Start by picking three things. Starting off small will get you in the mood to clear out more space. Feels good, doesn’t it? You don’t need to stop at just three items. If you see more obvious candidates for the trash, get rid of them!

Start the New Year clutter-free

Eagle PointAt a Glance:Bedrooms 3Bathrooms 3 ½Main floor 1300 sq. ft.Loft 800 sq. ftBasement 1266 sq. ftTotal living area: 3366 sq. ft

IN THEATRES HUGO 3D

HUGO tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccen-tric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key.

Time Out with the Advisor

Your emotions have been pulled out of shape and you need to do a little backtracking. Don’t get involved in expensive entertainment that involves gambling. Your confi dence will stabilize your position.

Diffi culties at an emotional level may be likely. Your ideas may be a little ahead of their time; don’t push them, instead just continue working on development. Diffi culties relating to children will be stressful.

Use discrimination and play hard to get. Opportunities for new romantic encounters will unfold through the social events you attend. Get involved in the activities of children. They will teach you far more than you expect.

Take the time to close deals that have been up in the air. You can expect to have a passionate time if you go out with someone you are romantically interested in. Catch up on correspondence.

You have more energy than the rest of the people you live with anyway. New projects may lead you into a dead end. Do not travel unless absolutely necessary. Be careful.

Peers may not be on your side. Get more involved in group efforts at work. You will fi nd that unfi nished projects at home will be most satisfying.

You will be relentless when it comes to getting yourself back into shape. Make a point of working on yourself. Be sure to fi nd out all you can before you commit to anything.

Rather than making a scene, communicate quietly about the way you feel. You can make life easier for an older member of your family. Don’t let friends or relatives rule your life.

Be honest with yourself before getting involved with someone who is likely to lead you on. You can expect the fur to fl y on the home front. Travel will be favorable. You can gain knowledge from dealing with foreigners.

Don’t let your personal partner hold you back or slow you down. You might just as well let others do their own thing. Take time to fi nd out if anyone has a better suggestion before you make arrangements for the whole family.

You will have an inaccurate assessment of your status in society. You are apt to meet someone special on your journey. You are best not to confront situations that deal with in-laws or relatives.

Expect to experience a sudden reversal of fortune. You may fi nd acquaintances being deceptive. Be sure to fi nd out all you can before you commit to anything.

Last Week’s Answers

HOROSCOPE

Be sure to bless your taste buds2011 was not a great

year for me in the cook-ing department. I did not get involved in any cooking challenges from the professionals in the community and I never got the chance to cook at Elysia Resort on Quesnel Lake. Maybe next year, Huh Harmony! This was just sort of a blah year from a cooking standpoint, I hope to change that next year.

Every person who is not afraid to be creative in the kitchen comes up with some feel good recipes once in a while. I had one of those moments last summer when I had caught a fresh char and a few

rainbow trout. These were filleted and the fish patted dry. Now I was looking for Panko crumbs to use as a coat-ing for the fish as I was going to do a fish and chip supper. No luck. So as necessity is the motherhood of inven-tion I decided I would take some ‘Just Right’ multi grain breakfast

cereal by Kellogg, roll it, to get a little extra crunch and spread over a cutting board. I dipped the fish in some flour, some beaten egg to coat, and then in about two inches of hot oil. It only takes a few minutes in the oil then onto some paper towel then put on plate next to some cut lemons with pepper and salt.

Two other folk ate the fish with this coat-ing and were very sur-prised at the nice taste generated by a breakfast cereal. So this one is definitely a keeper and one of the few things for me that came out of my culinary creative endeavours for 2011

that will go into my recipe book.

I am going to learn to cook more Thai dishes next year, along with Chinese and some new Australian recipes. It’s too bad we cant get Kangaroo meat here because for the price it was pretty tasty when I cooked it in Aus.

One thing I know for sure in 2012 I will pursue cooking with true passion as it is one hobby that helps sus-tains life and brings the world of taste into your mouth.

May your taste-buds never give up the excitement of ‘variety’, because then they will be truly blessed.

Remember also to laugh a lot, and be respectful to short peo-ple!

Happy New Year Folks, May it be one of Health and Happiness for you, as they are the Riches of Today.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.
