A cheerful group of about 100 Williams Lake secondary students took to the streets around Williams Lake in support of teachers on Thursday afternoon at about 2:30 p.m. Around the same time students at Columneetza also held a rally in the bus loop at their school in support of teachers, smaller class sizes and better supplies.

Strike affects school attendance BY GAEIL FARRAR Tribune Staff Writer School District 27 superintendent Diane Wright is advising parents not to send their children to school during the teacher strike scheduled for this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wright says the school buses will not be running. Principals and viceprincipals will supervise students who do attend school but normal instruction will not take place. While a Labour Relations Board ruling prevents teachers from setting up picket lines, Wright notes teachers will be officially on strike and it is not known how many support staff will come into the schools to assist with supervision. “This is uncharted territory for us,” Wright says. “I cannot anticipate how many of our support staff will be on site Monday.” For liability reasons Wright says

parents are not permitted to assist the administrators in supervising students. A Labour Relations Board ruling earlier this week allowed the teachers to take three days of consecutive strike action, followed by one day a week thereafter. Those conditions may change if Bill 22 introduced by Education Minister George Abbott passes in the legislature. In a press release Thursday, Abbott and Premier Christy Clark would not specify how long the government would wait before passing Bill 22 but said it likely wouldn’t be in time to avert the strike. Joan Erb, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers Association president, says it is highly unlikely that the strike can be averted. Thursday morning B.C. Teachers Federation president Susan Lambert said the 75 per cent teacher voter turnout and 87 per cent yes

vote to strike demonstrates to the provincial government that “bullying legislation like Bill 22 will not fix a broken relationship.” Erb says: “There should be no surprise that teachers are taking action on Monday, March 5. After over 80 bargaining sessions and no progress and the introduction of Bill C-22 which again strips our collective agreement of basic rights such as seniority, teachers are demanding respect.” She says teachers will be participating in a professional development day scheduled for today, Friday, March 2 and many of them will attend the conference with Dr. Martin Brokenleg at TRU. Wright has written a letter to parents which appears on the district website and asks parents not to send their children to school during the strike. She also asks parents to check www.sd27.bc.ca for the latest information (in case the strike is

averted at the last minute), and listen to the radio on school mornings for announcements. She says the day-care centres currently in operation in school district facilities will continue to operate as usual. She says the Ready, Set, Learn and StrongStart programs may continue as parents attend with their child, and teachers do not deliver these programs. But she asks that parents call the school to see if the program will be running. She says other activities offered by organizations and user groups will continue. “I want to acknowledge the respectful working relationships all our staff, parents and students have maintained throughout this school year,” Wright says in her letter to parents. “Your children are receiving a solid education in a safe learning environment. Finally, thank you for your patience and consideration during this difficult time.”

to fulfill the ABCFP’s mandate as defined in the Foresters Act. The ABCFP council is made up of 10 elected councillors and two lay councillors who are appointed by the provincial government. Since the late 1980s Price has been a forest consultant specializing in silviculture. As part of the Forest Practises Code era, she co-authored the Silviculture

Surveys Guidebook and over the years assisted with the revisions of the new Silviculture Surveys Manual. She says she has been very fortunate to work with a number of major licensees, ministry agencies, First Nations, universities and colleges. She believes that professional and public education are key and vital components of successful forest management.

B.C. cancels generic drug purchase deal Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is terminating its generic drug purchase agreement with provincial pharmacy groups after savings to the Pharmacare program fell short of expectations. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the

three-year agreement with the B.C. Pharmacy Association and the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores will end April 1, a year early. “We negotiated an agreement on a certain set of expectations, savings to be sure, to Pharmacare and to the purchasers of drugs in

B.C., and they have not been realized,” de Jong told reporters at the legislature Wednesday. “Of the roughly $69 or $70 million in savings the parties had agreed would be realized over the first two years, we’re about $36 million short.” De Jong said legislation will be presented

be in place in time for Hansen’s arrival March 25th as part of his 25th Anniversary Tour. “Fundraising for this project is nearly complete, and we invite anyone interested in helping fund this monument to a hometown hero to join us at New World Coffee and Tea House for a cup of coffee or tea,” says Councillor Surinderpal Rathor. “This has al-

AN APPLE A DAY... It has been over thirty years since human insulin has been available for diabetics. Before that, insulin was obtained from the pancreases of slaughtered cows and pigs. These insulins were not exactly the same as human insulin and did cause some adverse reactions in some diabetics. When human clinical trials are done on new medications, two groups of people are compared: one takes the actual drug while the other group receives a placebo (a look-alike product that contains no drug). The larger the number of people studied, the more reliable the results are. Also, the drug group has to show a definite improvement over the placebo group otherwise the drug won’t be marketed. If you wake up in the morning with a sore or stiff neck, it could be due to your pillow. Since we spend 6-8 hours a day on the pillow, make sure it’s the right one for you. There are many “therapeutic” pillows on the market. Some are shaped to support the neck better and keep the spine in alignment. It might be the answer.

IFBMUI NJOE CPEZ Get the real deal on your meal Nutrition information has never been more accessible than right now, says the Interior Health Authority. Millions of Canadians head to the Internet when they have questions about nutrition, but not all the information they read is credible. March is nutrition month, a time to bust common food and nutrition myths and reveal the facts. For example, there are many myths about salt (sodium) and its effect on health. One of the most common myths is that the best way to limit sodium intake is to stop using the salt shaker. Cindy Bossio, registered dietitian with Interior Health, debunked this myth.

“Only 11 per cent of the salt we eat is added by the salt shaker,” she says. “Over 75 per cent comes from processed and restaurant foods. You can reduce your sodium intake by reading and comparing food labels and by choosing fresh foods more often than processed ones. When eating out, ask if nutrition information for the menu item is available.” Sodium reduction is a focus of the province’s Healthy Families B.C. initiative. Learn more about reducing your sodium intake and check your sodium sense by using an interactive feature on its website: http://www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/. Many people believe

that cooking meals at home takes too much time. This common reason given for relying on take-out or pre-packaged meals is also a myth. Planning meals in advance saves time in the kitchen. “Plan to cook enough so that you have leftovers for the next day or cook on the weekend and freeze extra portions,” says Linda Boyd, registered dietitian with Interior Health. If you need a little help preparing quick and healthy meals, the Canadian Diabetes Association has a great cooking program designed to increase nutrition knowledge as well as food shopping and preparation skills.

To learn more visit http://www.foodskillsforfamilies.ca/. Dietitians of Canada also has meal planning and time-saving techniques available on its website: www.dietitians.ca. The desire to attain a healthy weight spawns many myths. Some people believe that following Canada’s Food Guide will cause weight gain. Others believe that weight loss can only be achieved by eating foods labelled low fat or fat free. “The average Canadian eats 22 per cent of their calories from foods that don’t fit into the food guide,” says Rose Soneff, registered dietitian with Interior Health. “If people reduce the amount of sug-

ary beverages, snacks and desserts they typically eat, there is plenty of room for the healthy foods recommended in Canada’s Food Guide. It’s also important to recognize diets that lack variety may not provide all of the nutrients necessary for optimal health.” Registered dietitians are food and nutrition experts and the best source of accurate nutrition information. You can reach a registered dietitian by calling HealthLink at 811 or by e-mail at http:// www.healthlinkbc.ca/dietitian/.

CRD hands over forest designation After enjoying the designation of Forest Capital of Canada for the past two years, the Cariboo Regional District handed over that feather in its cap to the province of British Columbia on Feb. 22. During a ceremony at the Association of BC Forest Professional’s Convention in Victoria, CRD chair Al Richmond and director John Massier handed a plaque to Steve Thomson, min-

ister of forests, lands and natural resource operations. Between 2010-2011, the CRD raised awareness about the Cariboo Chilcotin forest land base through a number of projects and events that focused on non-timber forest products, valueadded wood products, bio-energy, eco-tourism and agriculture. In a press release from the CRD, Richmond said with the decline of

the forest industry as a result of the US housing recession and the impact of the mountain pine beetle infestation, the CRD saw the Forest Capital of Canada program as an opportunity to look to the future and promote new, non-traditional industries emerging in forestry. One of the projects saw the CRD publish a commemorative magazine Our Backyard — Forests of the Cariboo

Chilcotin, that focused on non-traditional aspects of the forest industry through stories, poetry and photography, with the intent of providing information to travellers, investors and residents. The CRD also hosted a Forest Capital Speakers series and initiated various National Forest Week activities throughout the region. “We consider the last two years to have been a

success; our holistic approach to forestry looked at all of the economic opportunities the forest land base offers. Even with our extremely limited budget, and smallscale projects, we were able to reach a large audience with our message,” Richmond said.

Community weed pulls — taking back our natural landscapes This year marks the sixth year of the Community Weed Pull program for the Cariboo Regional District Invasive Plant Management program. The program encourages community groups to become local stewards by helping to control invasive plants in their areas. Invasive plants (also known

as noxious weeds) are non-native plant species that take over our landscapes. Many of these invasive plants have been introduced by humans, whether it is by gardening or by recreational activities. Invasive plants are a major issue not only locally, but also globally and this is why it is important for commu-

nities to come together and help take back the natural landscapes before invasive plants make a new undesirable one. The CRD Community Weed Pull program offers a $250 honorarium to community groups that lend a hand in restoring environmentally sensitive areas in different areas

across our region. The events last from two to three hours and the CRD provides supplies (shovels and bags) and refreshments. If any community groups are interested they can contact the CRD invasive plant management department at 1-800665-1636 or by e-mail invasiveplants@cariboord.bc.ca.

Taxing times for B.C. government B efore this week’s budget debate is drowned out by the shouting over the teachers’ dispute, here’s a look at the main points and the arguments unfolding around them. The setting for Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s first budget is what he dreaded when Premier Christy Clark handed him the job. Recovery is painfully slow, with mining and petroleum growing and forest products struggling to hold and build on gains made in Asia. This and the $3 billion dismantling of the harmonized sales tax moved Falcon to limit overall spending growth to an average of two per cent for the next three years. That means little or no increase to all areas except health care, education and social assistance. Despite holding the line on public service pay and not replacing 2,000 positions over the next three years, Clark and Falcon had to postpone the elimination of the 2.5-percent small business income tax to get to a balanced budget by 2013. And Falcon has again dangled the prospect of raising general corporate income tax from 10 to 11 per cent, but not until 2014. Business experts applauded the hard line on spending, noting the contrast with Alberta’s big spending and Ontario’s big spending hangover. NDP finance critic Bruce

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

Ralston says Falcon’s twoper-cent spending target is “unrealistic,” and the whole program is motivated mostly by two by-elections this year and a general election next year. He said the proposal to raise general business taxes is a repeat of his effort to save the HST, and it won’t happen if the B.C. Liberals win in 2013. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made the bizarre claim that it’s an NDPstyle “tax and spend” budget, and inaccurately accused Falcon of raising taxes on small business. He also joined the NDP chorus of outrage over ICBC, BC Hydro and medical premium increases. Some other hot topics in the budget: • Selling assets. The big one here is B.C.’s liquor wholesaling monopoly, run out of warehouses in Kamloops and Vancouver. Falcon insists the private sector does this kind of work more efficiently, and

union contracts will be protected in a bidding process. The NDP argues that selling off a monopoly puts this government cash cow at risk, and points to private retail stores with higher prices and lower wages. The proposed sale of 100 surplus Crown properties has raised cries of “selling the silverware to buy groceries.” But land sales are nothing new for governments, and Falcon prefers that to raising

taxes. • Carbon tax. The last scheduled increase goes ahead in July, adding another penny on a litre of gasoline, followed by a freeze and review of the whole climate program. Ralston says the climate plan is “in tatters,” along with dozens of other policy areas that are also under review after 11 years of B.C. Liberal rule. NDP leader Adrian Dix vows to keep the carbon tax

and its offsetting personal income tax cuts, direct carbon tax revenues to transit and rural energy-saving retrofits, and hike the general corporate tax rate from 10 to 12 per cent to pay for it. • HST. Asked what he would have done as finance minister, Ralston suggested getting rid of the HST sooner. Dix continues to misrepresent the HST as solely a transfer to big business, ignoring the small and medium-sized

businesses that have a year left to take advantage of input tax credits. Simon Fraser University economist Jon Kesselman has estimated that poor people will be worse off when the HST ends, while the rest of us will see a very small net benefit.

What to do when the power goes out

ver the years, I’ve always had great animals around me that have provided endless entertainment, handy when the power goes out. One cat we have now is completely obsessed with water and it wasn’t long after he “adopted” us (we found his bedraggled self under the car one morning and he just stayed) that he discovered the wet wonders of the water closet. I learned of his new flushing skill unexpectedly and, I have to say, true anxiety is hearing the toilet flush suddenly in the middle of a dark and stormy night and knowing you are the only one in the house! Once he had mastered the art of the flush, he developed his own fun. He would carefully flush and then wait, crouching on the top of the tank, for our new kitten to arrive for a drink. As soon as the kitten was delicately poised over the bowl and ready

wherever he is in the house to watch the initial spectacle of bubbles and try to push the cooler over so he can get at them. We have had to tie the unit down so he can’t tip it! He hugs, nudges and jiggles the cooler for at least an hour and ecstatically bats away at any lone bubble or two that

to lap, the cat would slowly slip a paw out and flush again. I had never before seen a kitten levitate so fast and escape horizontally, without touching the floor! Then the cat would smugly have a drink without interruption. This all came to a grinding halt when we got the dual flush system and the lever disappeared. We were startled to learn, over the next few months, just how much water we were saving without his feline flushing frenzies. Another water opportunity comes, however, when we change the water cooler. He runs from

appear. We sometimes tap it on our way by so it starts to bubble, just to see how fast he can get there! Oh, and this is the same cat who has a Q-tip fetish. He finds them wherever they are and then plays, chews and carries them around for a while, storing them under the

mat in front of the bathroom sink when he is done. On many mornings I have experienced the corduroy effect he has created underfoot during the night! Yes, when the lights go out, we still have live entertainment! Colleen Crossley is a columnist for the Tribune.

Forest service marks 100th in turmoil Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C.Â Forest Service staff shared a cake with former ministers and deputies at a ceremony at the legislature Monday to mark the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th anniversary, before politicians resumed their bitter debate about the state of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forests. NDP forests critic Norm Macdonald said the recent auditor generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report highlighted the need to update

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest inventory, 70 per cent of which is out of date. But he said last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. budget reduced spending on forest health over the next two years. Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson replied that his budget includes a $10 million fund for this year to update the Crown forest industry in priority areas, particularly those affected by the mountain pine beetle infestation in the B.C. Interior.

Thomson said that effort responds to Auditor General John Doyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations on upgrading the forest inventory. But Thomson rejected Doyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conclusion that industry-led reforestation of logged areas has been done cheaply and reduced species diversity, making the forests more vulnerable to pests or disease. Forest service seed orchards select the best stock for each elevation, soil and climatic zone, providing seed

to forest companies responsible for replanting logged areas, Thomson said. The forest service has two seed orchards near Vernon, one near Salmon Arm, one near Prince George, one in Saanich and a research station at Cowichan Lake where scientific tree selection began in 1912. Brian Barber, director of the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tree improvement branch, said in an interview it is in forest companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest to plant the best tree stock available for

each site, as quickly as possible after harvesting. Strong, fast-growing trees outpace underbrush more quickly, saving money on brush treatment and meeting the companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legal obligation to establish â&#x20AC;&#x153;free growingâ&#x20AC;? trees on Crown land. Barber said the broad areas of lodgepole pine susceptible to beetle kill were created in part by decades of forest fire suppression, which allowed stands to live longer and become more at-

tractive to beetles. But their origin goes back far beyond 40 years of intensive replanting activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mountain pine beetle epidemic occurred via a large food source, available because of fire suppression,â&#x20AC;? Barber said.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;But those are trees that regenerated naturally following fires that were set by settlers, and by people doing mining exploration in the early 1900s.â&#x20AC;? Alvin Yanchuk, senior scientist in the tree

improvement branch, said research continues to determine if the latest beetle outbreak across western North America was a result of long-term climate shift, or simply a string of warmer winters that allowed them to multiply and spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This beetle is one of the thousands of bark beetles around the world,â&#x20AC;? Yanchuk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a handful that go epidemic, and we happened to have them when we had the right conditions.â&#x20AC;?

Responsible budgeting in an uncertain world. To prosper in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turbulent global economy, discipline and focus are essential. All around us we see governments paying the price for overspending and uncontrolled debt. In BC, we have a different story.

Two nights left to see Clumsy Custard Today and tomorrow are the last two days to capture the magic at the Studio Theatre’s family comedy The Clumsy Custard Horror Show and Ice Cream Clone Review. Written by William Gleason and directed masterfully by Sandi Alaric this is a wonderfully colourful show with lots of interesting characters and comedic twists on the classic horror films. The word play, quick action and silly characters dressed in wonderfully whimsical costumes will be enough to make more than the Clumsy Custard jiggle and giggle with laughter. You will meet the spoiled Princess Prince, played by Samantha Fradette, her charming and kind, but not too bright father King Dumb The irrepressible cast of the Clumsy Custard Horror Show and Ice Cream Clone Review is ready to go, wrapping up their second and final week this weekend. In front is Stacey Poirier as Worfle. In the second row from front are the undercover Clumsy Custards Lesley (left) Allgrove and Mackenzie Moore with Kalysta Szauer who plays the Head. In the third row are Kathy MacDonald (left) as Alphasia, Sharon Hoffman as Polly, Lana Wright as Aretha Boheme, Samantha Fradette as Princess Prince, Martin Comtois as King Dumb, Becky Strickland as Polly, and Jay Goddard as Dacron.

The actual International Women’s Day is on March 8 when millions of women and men around the world celebrate and reflect on the progress made to advance women’s equality, to assess the challenges facing women in contemporary society and

to consider future steps to enhance the status of women and, of course, to celebrate the gains made in these areas. Women on all continents often divided by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences come together to celebrate

International Women’s Day. It is a celebration of ordinary women as makers of history. Rallies, marches, fairs, receptions, shows, films and debates are held around the world to celebrate the achievements for women’s equality.

Watoto Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir on stage tonight A new generation of the Watoto Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir is now on tour and will be performing in Williams Lake today Friday, March 2 with a brand new tour called Beautiful Africa: A New Generation. Beautiful African offers an evening of vibrant, original African music, dance routines and life-transforming stories takes place at

Cariboo Bethel Church on Western Avenue starting at 7 p.m. The concert is free and donations will be accepted to assist Africa in its war on HIV/ AIDS. Established in 1994, The Watoto Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir has travelled internationally as ambassadors for the millions of children in Africa, orphaned as a result

of HIV/AIDS, war and poverty. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents. They live in Watoto Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Villages where they receive the care and nurture they need to grow up as productive citizens of their country. Since its inception, 55 Watoto choirs have

travelled globally, providing the children with a world view, an opportunity they would otherwise never get. Today, Watoto is impacting the lives of more than 2,500 children who have been orphaned and abandoned. Watotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose is to rescue the vulnerable, raise them up to be leaders, so they can

rebuild their nation. For this to become an ongoing reality, Watoto relies on the support of Canadians to sponsor a life and impact their future. The choirs have been to Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and the USA, among other countries. Their audiences have included

royalty, presidents and ministers, capturing the hearts of people wherever they travel.Â Â Â Living Hope is a Watoto program that has transformed the lives of women in Kampala and war torn Gulu, Northern Uganda. The target groups are HIV positive single women, returnees from abduction by the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resistance

Army, and teenage mothers. The 2012 Canadian Tour features fair-trade items for purchase that are made by women in the Living Hope program. For more on Watato visit the website at www.watoto.com, or call the toll free number at 1-888-9-WATOTO to be part of the solution.

There came a time when Cora and I were required to go to a far off city for a period of six months. We were then confronted with the problem of engaging someone to care for our two cats which were brother and sister, even Puss and Boots whom we had possessed since they were mere kittens. Now we sought the help of the daughter of Cora who lived some one hundred and twenty miles distant and in the mountains. She was willing to care for the felines and took them to her home. After several weeks we were informed by the daughter of Cora that the cat known as Puss was nowhere to be found and was indeed missing! We were dismayed and proceeded to return to our home wherein we met the daughter of Cora and took back possession of the cat known as Boots, lest he too should vanish, and we returned to the far off city once again. In the fullness of time, we returned home and resumed our way of life, yet , from time to time we thought about our dear cat Puss and speculated on her undoubtedly cruel demise in the great wilderness among the fierce predators and wild beasts which lurked in the forests all around.And we spoke of her beauty and soft

PARSONS PEN

BY SAMUEL the SAGE personality and how she and Boots had great times and adventures together. Well, after two years, we left off talking about our lost Puss and then one day as Cora was in the kitchen baking delectable things, as she is wont to do, the telephone rang and a lady on the other end of the line told Cora that her cat was there at the local animal shelter and was in a state of malnutrition and obvious abuse. Now Cora was taken aback and told the lady that Boots was right there with her and was in good health to which the lady replied that this cat was indeed Coraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and was named Puss for she had a microchip implanted and this revealed the identity of the animal as well as that of the owner. To this Cora exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Oh my

goodness! She has been missing for two years and she has almost made her way home!â&#x20AC;? We were quick to retrieve our Puss and returned her home, amid great marveling and rejoicing where we nursed her back to health, except for the use of her right back leg, and gave her an abundance of love and attention. And to this day she has had no desire to leave off living with her family. And lo and behold when I pondered these things I thought of the Scripture in which the Lord Jesus Christ, when asked if he should pay taxes to Caesar, replied that the coins of the empire were made in his image and therefore he has the right to them while at the same time implied that God has the right to that which bears His image and I realized that we too like the coins (and the cat) have been identified as belonging to God for we have been made in His image. And I also recalled that God has said, that whosoever will seek Him, they too will find Him and I wondered and prayed that all, even some that read this parable, would seek Him for He too desires your safe return and will run to meet you and bring you home no matter the maner of your condition.

Irish film on tap for Tuesday film club Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune And now for something completely different. Irish films are not exactly en vogue, but the Williams Lake Film Club has found an Irish film which has proven to be a surprise hit — even to the Irish. On Tuesday, March 6, we will be screening the off-beat film The Guard, starting at 7 p.m. at the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Complex with back doors opening at 6:30 p.m. If you like black comedy, jet black comedy, this one is for you. Set in Galway on Ireland’s west coast, The Guard was very well received at the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals in the U.S. before opening the Edinburgh Film Festival, where it went absolutely huge. And now the debut film that became the most successful independently funded Irish movie ever has won the Guardian First Film Award.

Don Cheadle as FBI agent Wendell Everett (left) and Brendan Gleeson as Sergeant Gerry Boyle star in the Irish film The Guard hosted by the Williams Lake Film Club at the Gibraltar Room Tuesday evening. Photo submitted What is this film all about? To put it in a nutshell, Sergeant Gerry Boyle, played unforgettably well by Brendan Gleeson, is a smalltown Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humour, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes (especially if they dress up in police uniform), and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine smuggling ring that has brought straight laced FBI agent WenThere’s something fishy going on here!!!

dell Everett to his door (Don Cheadle, ever so prim and proper). As the Guardian film critic and one of the judges, Peter Bradshaw, said it is a work of “originality and wit … horribly funny, deliciously incorrect, with an unexpectedly stirring, old-fashioned friendship between two lawmen.” But then again, nothing is what it seems to be in this film, or should it be the other way around? The lines keep on coming, the action

takes any twist and turn possible, but all in a quiet deliberate manner. And the language is peppery, as Tihol, my husband, likes to say. The F-word is used frequently and completely casually and when Gleeson says something like: “I’m Irish. Racism is part of my culture,” you barely dare to blink because you don’t want to miss the next line. If you think now that this is just a comedy, another good cop, bad cop film, you are

wrong again. This is not your everyday buddy movie, this film has a lot to say about life, just in a different way. There will be refreshments served after the screening and I hope I will finally get to bake the sesame cookies I have been planning for a while. They sure sound good. Everyone is welcome to our films. Although they are presented by the Williams Lake Film Club, admission is open to everyone. The proceeds go to the LDA, the Williams Lake Chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities. By the way, we are off to the Lower Mainland. One of the things we are planning to do is meet with Paul St. Pierre to get some more parts of the series “Cariboo Country.” Excited? Am I ever. Film club admission is $9 regular, $8 for members, and $6 for seniors (65-plus) and students, high-school and TRU. See you Tuesday.

Join us for a night of surprises... excitement... laughter and cheers

Science World open house at TRU Science World British Columbia’s Community Science Celebration returns to Thompson Rivers University this Saturday, March 3. “We’re thrilled to be returning to the Cariboo for this year’s Community Science Celebration,” says Bryan Tisdall, president and CEO of Science World British Columbia. “With community collaborators and our school and partner connections throughout the province, Science World can provide dynamic experiences to showcase the fun and relevance of science to children, teens and parents with our typical Science World flair.” This free family event takes place from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the TRU gymnasium and selected science rooms. Three special presentations by the Science World team will be given during the day: the Science of Physics show

at noon; the Amazing Chemistry Show at 1 p.m. and the Science Surprise Show at 3 p.m. The Community Science Celebration will also be filled with fun, hands-on activities for youth to foster relationships with community organizations and set the stage for ongoing science activities. TRU science professor Marten Lettinga says there will be many returning exhibitors as well as new activities for little children and new exhibits from mines and a local bike shop. He says TRU faculty and students will also be opening their classrooms and labs with amazing activities and displays. “It will be a surprise,” Lettinga says. “Hence, people will need to attend to find out.” Lettinga says there will also be a free workshop called Big Science for Little Hands, for educators on teaching children

about science that will be held at TRU on March 1, starting at 6 p.m. The Community Science Celebration wraps up a week of Science World On The Road programing taking place at several schools in School District 27 Feb. 27 to March 1. Among the schools receiving visits from the Science World team are Kwaleen, Nesika and 150 Mile elementary schools. Science World On The Road brings Science World’s trademark jaw-dropping, playful approach to science into schools. Textbook concepts are brought to life to inspire children to learn more about science and technology. Science World British Columbia is a charitable non-profit organization that engages British Columbians in science and inspires future science and technology leadership throughout our

province. The free Community Science Celebration at TRU March 3 is supported by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation and a regional co-ordinating committee of dedicated local leaders in science and technology. All galleries in Science World’s newly renovated facility in Vancouver are now open. People who can’t visit in person can check out the Science World’s resources website (www. resources.scienceworld. ca/), which provides free curriculum-connected lesson plans and activities. Or visit www.scienceworld.ca/make-stuff to learn how to make a hopping frog from paper or to discover Science World’s secret to making spectacular bubbles.

Curves exercises food bank fundraiser in March The Curves Club in Williams Lake is joining Curves International in its 14th annual food bank drive starting March 1. Each club, including Curves of Williams Lake, is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash throughout the month of March to support their local community food bank. In addition, Curves of Williams Lake will waive the joining fee

for new members who bring in a bag of nonperishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank between March 12 and 25. “Curves of Williams Lake is committed to supporting the health and well-being of our members, so the food drive is a natural extension of that commitment to the whole community,” said a Curves of Williams Lake staff member. “Many families are

struggling with basic expenses and need some help to make ends meet. Our food drive gives our members a way to reach out and support their neighbors.” With a theme of “Good for your body and your soul,” this year’s drive encourages Curves members to feel doubly good about themselves as they make time to exercise for good health and take time to help

district science fair coming up

others in the community with a donation of nutritious food. Local Curves clubs may also qualify to win cash prizes for their local food banks. Curves International is also awarding cash prizes to the clubs that collect the most food, the clubs that show the greatest increase in donations over the 2011 food drive, and to two additional clubs randomly selected from all the clubs who enter the contest. “We would love to see all of our clubs top their donation levels from last year,” said Curves founder Diane Heavin. “But the main goal of our annual drive is to enlist the help of our members in re-stocking the shelves of local food

pantries across the country. We also hope that new members will take this opportunity to give back to their local communities as they join our Curves community.” Founded by Gary and Diane Heavin, the Curves program works every major muscle group with a complete 30-minute workout that combines strength training and sustained cardiovascular activity through safe and effective hydraulic resistance. For more information about Curves of Williams Lake, located at 100A-369 Oliver St., and the 2012 Curves Food Drive, call 250-398-8191 or e-mail curvesfw@telus.net. or visit www. curves.com.

Kids Running for Kids sets a new goal Angela Manning Kids Running for Kids is on a roll! Our goal was to raise $25,000 but thanks to all the generous donations from family, friends and businesses, we have surpassed our goal and are raising it to $50,000. Other than direct monetary donations, KRFK has been hard at work planning and executing fundraising events building up to their June 30 departure. Thanks to the amazing prize donors and ticket buyers, Kids Running for Kids held their first raffle to raise funds for their summer run. Ticket sales added a whopping $4,500 to KRFK donation to BC Children’s Hospital. Third prize of a $200 Save On Foods gift card was won by Thea Telford. Second prize of a TV and Blu-ray player donated by The Brick was won by Bob and Sue Fox of Lac La Hache. The grand prize of four VIP concert ticket packages to the Hedley concert in Prince George was won by Allison Everett. As Everett was unable to attend the Feb. 13 concert, she offered the tickets up for sale. Trish Morey bought the package. She and her three children, Keegan, Jayden, and Jenna, were thrilled to not only be able to attend the concert, but meet the band and be VIP guests

at the show. Hedley made quite an impression on the Morey family. In the words of Trish: “Hedley was absolutely amazing. I have been to so many concerts over the years I can’t even remember them all. I will never forget Hedley though. “After we met the band we went backstage and had dinner with them (and all the other performers). “My son Keegan looked into the first dish on the buffet table and it was perogies … he hates perogies! But he ate them! “Chris Crippin (Hedley`s drummer) sat with us, visited, and then took us upstairs through the crowd and let the kids each pick out a T-shirt. “He gave them a ton of other stuff too … flashlights, pins, CD, key chains. As we were heading up through the crowd, Keegan said: ‘This is the best concert I’ve ever been to.’ “I replied, ‘They haven’t even gone on yet.’” “When they did go on though, it was magical. The performance was awesome. Definitely an experience we will never forget.” Watch for us in the community. KRFK will be participating in the Rick Hansen Relay on March 27 in the lake city with Rya Enns leading the group as a medal bearer. KRFK could not have reached its goal with-

The Morey children, Jenna, Jayden and Keegan, with the band members from Hedley who they met at the concert they attended in Prince George. The VIP concert tickets with introduction to the band members were the grand prize in a Kids Running for Kids fundraising raffle. Trish Morey bought the winning tickets from the winner who was unable to attend the concert. Photo submitted out such giving donors. We are still looking for sponsors to help outfit the kids as well as meet their travelling needs. If you, or someone you know, are able to encourage the runners along their route to BC Children’s Hospital, we would love to hear from you. To help this group in their relay style run from Williams Lake to Vancouver, please email them at kidsrunningforkids@gmail. com or make an online contribution at www. bcchf.ca/kidsrunningforkids. We still have an open account at Amanda Enterprises, so why not drop off your empties and help a great cause?

From the good-sized dining area, a door opens to the back veranda, the perfect spot for barbecuing meals in summer. A corner pantry cupboard provides all the storage space needed for groceries.

A three-piece bathroom is situated opposite the staircase to the loft area. A sliding pocket door to the master bedroom makes this bathroom a semiensuite.
