Princeton man given another year in jail Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Another year of jail time has been tacked onto the sentence of the man who pled guilty for a 2008 manslaughter in Princeton. William Harvey Green was sentenced on three charges of trafficking in a controlled substance in Penticton provincial court on March 12. The charges stem from an incident that occurred just weeks before Green killed Willard Bruce McInroy in 2008. Crown prosecutor Richard Li said on three separate occasions Green acted as a “middle man” for undercover officers purchasing cocaine on Nov. 20 and 21 in 2008. Just a few weeks later, on Dec. 9, RCMP discovered the decomposed body of McInroy in an old funeral home at 133 Bridge Street. “It’s good to keep him in longer, with the added conviction,” said Princeton RCMP officer Sgt. Dave Clare. “The trafficking occurred before the murder, so we had to push to get the charges delayed.” Green had confessed to RCMP that he and his friend McInroy had been on a four-day crack cocaine binge and holed up in McInroy’s apartment on Dec. 2. Green hit McInroy with a baseball bat, knocking him onto his couch where Green struck him several more times with the bat before he fled the apartment. It wasn’t until four months later that RCMP caught up with Green, locally known as Bill, in Merritt. “A consecutive sentence is

definitely favourable, and that’s what he got,” Clare said, adding that a concurrent sentence wouldn’t have given Green more jail time. An additional year will be tacked onto the three years Green received for manslaughter. Justice Peter Rogers sentenced Green to eight years of jail in 2011, but he was given two-forone credit, leaving him with just over three years of time to serve. Green has a lengthy criminal record including assaults, possession of a weapon and resisting arrest. The Town of Princeton was shaken up in December 2008 when the badly decomposed body of McInroy was found. At the time, a neighbouring business proprietor said she had smelled something awful days prior to the discovery of McInroy’s lifeless body. Princeton Const. Joe Huoben told media at that time they found the body in a state of decomposition and unrecognizable. The coroner’s report determined McInroy had died exactly one week before his body was discovered. The building where the body was found was well known in Princeton because it previously had been taped off while investigators searched through the death certificates and documentation of the mortuary manager, Fred Netherton. A series of complaints had been lodged against him over missing remains, and the building had since been condemned and slated to be torn down. With files from Kristi Patton/ Penticton Western News

Health care professionals demonstrate how BC Ambulance Service and HART members work together during transport of acutely ill or injured patients.

HART to help acutely ill Princeton patients Simone Blais city@pentictonwesternnews.com

Acutely ill patients in Princeton will now be able to travel to Penticton with the newest high-acuity response team (HART), instead of with a doctor and nurse. Previously the safest method of transporting an acutely ill patient from smaller communities like Princeton, Keremeos, Oliver, Osoyoos and Summerland required a doctor and nurse to travel with the patient. But in those smaller regions, the doctors and nurses in question were the only people on schedule - leaving the emergency room or clinic area with insufficient coverage. “With the launch of the Penticton HART team, we’re not only providing increased support to very sick and injured patients during transfers, we’re also providing additional clinical support to the healthcare team at Penticton Regional Hospital,” Interior Health chairman Norman Embree said. The HART is created as a support to those outlying areas. When a transport is required, the HART will be called in to travel to the referring facility with B.C. Ambulance. That team will draw from a pool of six critical care nurses who will always be on site, working in the Penticton Regional Hospital emergency room or intensive care unit when not on the road. A respiratory therapist is also available to travel as required. They will roll out a cart of portable equipment like ventilators and blood pressure monitors, depending on the patient’s needs, as the ambulance approaches the hospital. Once people and equipment are in, the ground trip is taken to the referring facility

to pick up the patient. The service can also work for transporting acutely ill patients to Kelowna for care as well. Rain Nickerson, a nurse with nine years of experience in the ER and ICU, said all the equipment and medication will be at the fingertips of HART to ensure the patient’s safety as they travel. “B.C. Ambulance can have a bag of saline, but no medicine,” she said. “But this is like having a little ICU in the back of the ambulance.” Brent Hobbs, Interior Health’s network director of patient transportation, said that the medical community has long advocated for better support for rural physicians and nurses in the event of larger emergencies for some time. “They wanted a solution to having to sending the only nurse and only doctor after-hours for many hours at a time,” he said. He cited the example of a recent mobile home fire in Lytton: the one doctor and nurse on staff had to treat four badly burned victims - two adults and two children - pulled from the flames. Hobbs said a HART team was dispatched to Lytton to help medical staff. “The closest help is many, many hours away,” he said. “HART got there to assist those staff who were completely overwhelmed … The children did not survive, but the adults did and we were able to keep the doctor and nurse in their home community.” Hobbs said that the HART team will pair well with the dedicated paramedic helicopter run newly established out of Kamloops, that will see patients flown between facilities. “These two programs will complement each other,” he said.

Air Cadet members play in a marching band in Abbotsford on Canada Day.

Air cadets trying to start up Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton teens interested in air cadets have to travel all the way to Penticton for meetings, but one woman is trying to change this. “Air cadets is a great way to give teens aged 12 to 18 something to be interested in and something to do, other than hanging around not doing anything,” said Princeton resident Dawn Gardner, whose daughter was an air cadet. She is holding an information session on March 22 at 7 p.m. in the Chamber of Commerce boardroom basement. Princeton will need 30 cadets to form its own society, and has around a dozen interested now. The town used to have a society 15

years ago, but the numbers dwindled and it eneded. “It’s cheaper than hockey or figure skating,” Gardner said. “$150 covers it all - that’s only around $10 a month.” The society would even help families who are strapped financially, she said. If there aren’t enough prospective cadets in Princeton, Gardner wants to get parents together to carpool the teens to Penticton for the once-a-week meetings. One boy already makes the trip every Tuesday. “We could have a nice colour party for Remembrance Day in Princeton if we had air cadets here,” Gardner said. “My daughter made such good friends. She met air cadets from all over Canada and the world at camps.”

Two Princeton women have a strong message for the community - don’t turn a blind eye to animal abuse. They are concerned people saw five starving horses on a ranch near Princeton but failed to do anything about it. The horses were surrendered to a rescue organization in February, just days before the SPCA was notified of their condition. Submitted Peaches - the most underweight horse - only BC Interior Horse Rescue president Joey Tompkins weighed 500 pounds, less than half the weight comforts a horse rescued from Princeton. she should. The other horses were also underweight, but not as bad. “People need to question when they see an animal that looks mistreated. Simply go to the owner and ask what’s wrong,” said Maureen White. Her friend Sue Gereau said a quick anonymous call to the SPCA can save a horse’s life. White said she heard Princeton residents talking about the starving horses, but none of them took action. “Princeton should have stood up to this kind of abuse. It’s disgusting - the horses could easily have died.” When White heard of the malnourished horses she went to investigate, and decided to quickly call the SPCA. “Someone must have passed by and saw them before I heard about them. How could they not do anything?” she said. The SPCA is now investigating the owner, but haven’t decided whether to lay charges for animal neglect yet. In a previous article in the Spotlight, Kathy Woodward, BC SPCA senior animal protection officer, said charging someone with animal neglect can often take years to go through the legal system. “Some people are afraid to report animal abuse, so they just talk about it, but don’t take any action,” said Gereau. “But you can’t just let an animal starve.” The five horses are showing signs of improvement and will be adopted out in the coming months. “Today we have received a donation of three round bales... Peaches was so happy to stretch her legs that she let loose and run with joy. I am happy to see the life in the Princeton horses’ eyes and them enjoying being horses,” said BC Interior Horse Rescue president Joey Tompkins on the society’s Facebook page. A female horse from Princeton, who was previously thought to be Peaches’ daughter Cricket, was the last horse to rescued. Tompkins gave her the nickname Hope, instead of her full name Girlz R Tuff. The rescue society located in Kelowna has now reached its limit after taking in a seven-year-old horse named Melody earlier this month. Ideally, 15 horses would live at the rescue, but more have shown up in the last two months. Tompkins is now looking for homes for the horses that are ready to go. Donations to the BC Interior Horse Rescue Society can be made by credit card or PayPal on the organization’s website.

So much for MP agreement Staff Writer Keremeos Review

At last- our members of parliament in Ottawa have found something they can agree on. Unfortunately, their sudden ability to see eye to eye provides no benefit to the country. A news story coming out of Ottawa in mid February told of a closed door meeting of Ottawa MP’s, geared towards looking for ways to curb MP spending. Government Whip Gordon O’Connor called the meeting in which spending curbs of five to 10 per cent across the board - including Old Age Security - in MP budgets were sought. What better way to get all federal parties to agree on something? “The opposition never agrees with the government on almost any policy until it comes to their own perks and privileges,” said CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife. “A lot of them are upset. They don’t want to have fewer flights (from 64 to 52), they don’t want to lose their business class flights, they don’t want to see cuts to their office budgets, and surprise, surprise, the opposition parties agree with them,” Fife added. Cry us a river. Parliament is the only federal department that doesn’t publicly post its expenditures. There has long been a demand for more accountability for Parliamentary spending, and we believe there is no better time to do this than now, while everyone else’s spending is under the microscope. If there is a reason why parliamentarians should be given a free pass from reality, we’d like to hear it. Barring that, any movement to stand in the way of honest attempts to ground our MP’s with respect to the economic realities of the day should be seen as nothing less than pork barrelling and the practice of elitist politics. Much like our parliamentarians, it is an issue that all Canadians will have no trouble finding common ground on - but for the exact opposite reasons by which it unites our MPs.

Council needs to take more action on deer problem Dear Editor, The Town of Princeton recently issued a brochure, Living with Urban Deer. I am incredulous that council would only now present this approach for such longstanding concerns. Appropriate action has been deferred, although this concern has been noted for several years. To date, there has been much discussion, and options have already been proffered. Deer culls and/or relocation are viable. It would show political will to even see these measures carried out over time. There would be a cost to the town of course, but by following council’s advice some townspeople might be led to take on

an unaffordable expense. And the sum of individual expenditures could easily exceed the municipality’s required outlay. It is apparent that resolution of the problem is clearly town’s responsibility. The voice of the people should be heard and respected, and a solution found. A councilor was appointed many months ago to collect data and make recommendations to reduce the number of deer. Since the fall election, there has been no progress update and council has not given priority to our complaints. Would current council be in office had the people anticipated the lack of results?

Is this the best we can expect from our new council? Some people do not want to see actions taken against the deer. However, we must establish priorities. Consider safety and property damage. Cougars also present a potential hazard. I also note the use of “Urban”. We cannot think of urban deer in isolation, separating them from those in the extended area. We may need to work with other jurisdictions to resolve the matter and enact suitable measures. It is impractical to attempt to reduce deer numbers by taking the suggested measures: - Landscaping with deer

resistant plants: Mostly ineffective; when hungry, deer will eat almost anything, including deer resistant plants. They will also trample gardens and landscaping. - Fencing: Some residents are unable to afford the cost of an adequate fence, and if able, few would want their property surrounded by a high fence. - Frightening/deer repellents: Hardly credible suggestions. Are we to stand in our yard at 5 a.m. or after dusk awaiting deer to come along? Repellents are only temporary measures. Princeton’s citizens expect a response before spring/summer when the impact will be greater. Murray Carter Princeton

Town needs to ask residents about deer cull Dear Editor; It was brilliant the town put out a “Living with deer” brochure, when there is nothing in it that Princeton residents don’t already know. A waste of money for sure, putting it in with the water/ sewer bills saved postage at least. I didn’t receive one as I live in a mobile home park. Now isn’t this something we are supposed to tread lightly when these wild animals are concerned? Unbelievable! I guess the residents of Cranbrook, Kimberley and Invermere weren’t interested in cohabiting with the deer as these towns went ahead with

the cull. Anyhow, this is exactly why the deer problem exists, because us humans make it easy for them to stay, instead of discouraging them. Plant deer resistant plants? Good luck because what they didn’t eat before, they do now. I know because I went through it. Deer repellents, they don’t work either - tried it. Fences are the only guaranteed method (says the brochure). They don’t care about fences, as one lady in particular can attest to and she’s not the only one. There’s nothing in my yard

to attract them, but they broke through my fence anyway. In front yards fences are four feet, and six feet in the back, that won’t stop them as they clear fences higher than six feet. How about a fence around the landfill? The deer eat garbage up there and leave with muck in their feet and clean their feet in our yards, how nice! It’s no wonder that people can’t be bothered to report to town office any issues/concerns as they figure it’s a waste of time. I’m very disappointed, as are many others, that nothing will be done. The same people will

keep feeding the deer, because they figure they’re doing the beasts a favour - how stupid! Many had hopes that council was going to step up to the plate, but some now say that won’t happen. Well, when someone gets seriously hurt or killed, maybe then someone will realize there’s a problem. But worse - some may think about taking the problem into their own hands. It would have been better to ask residents—are you in favour of a cull? Yes or no simple. Kay Goglin. Princeton

Student protests shouldn’t be discouraged Dear Editor, Recently Princeton students and most students in B.C. walked out in protest over Bill 22, which means a net zero per cent wage increase for teachers. I know this because my daughter explained this to me. She was given permission to walkout from my wife and I to support the teachers. At lunch hour there was an announcement made that said something similar to: “We are aware from Facebook there is going to be a walk out a 2 p.m. It is not part of the school system and teachers are here to

teach for the whole day, and if you choose to participate, there will be severe consequences.” My wife received a phone call from administration staff that our child, called only by her last name, was going to be marked down as skipping out, and will not be allowed on the bus. School policy is skipping, no bus. My wife is a mother bear at the best of times, but this made her come out of her den early and she lost control. As she was driving to the school (we live 28 kilometres out of town) she called our old-

est daughter to meet our eightyear-old off the primary bus, as she was on her way to pick up the two girls. It’s my understanding that as our daughter’s phone rang, she was being talked to by the principal and had said: “It’s my mom, I need to answer.” She was told my wife could wait, and she missed our eightyear-old on the bus, so he was on his way home with no one to receive him on the other end. I do believe students have rights, from kindergarten to Grade 12. They will protest because we teach our children

they have rights. A one-person protest is legal as we have that freedom in Canada, as well as a right. We are not in a communist country, and we have the freedom to protest. When students walk out they are told there will be severe consequences. We as adults should know that our children have freedom of speech while speaking and protesting peacefully. What kind of example are we giving as adults? Bob Summers Princeton

Neglected horses on the road to recovery To the editor and people of Princeton, The horses rescued from Princeton are doing really well. Despite their condition, with a little loving care they are responding well and on the road to recovery. They have been de-wormed, had their hooves trimmed and received a healthy and generous diet. Although we initially thought that there may have

been some pregnancies, this turned out not to be the case. This will greatly enhance their recovery without fears of additional complications. On behalf of the BC Interior Horse Rescue Society, please accept our thanks for the support and love that has poured in from the community. We will keep you updated as their health and recovery progresses. Please follow us on Facebook at BC Interior Horse

Jump the Planet rocks hometown Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton’s hard rock-alternative band Jump the Planet played for hometown fans on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17. But the group is no longer just known to locals - they have toured throughout B.C. and have gigs planned for music festivals this summer. Jump the Planet started in 2008 when

three musicians began looking for talented and motivated local people. Another member was later added to the band, to spice up the sound. “Growing up in a small town like Princeton influenced the way we play because we didn’t get distracted by mainstream music. We just played what we felt,” said Kevin Hargrave, on drums and vocals. The local band also features Cam O’Flage (vocals/guitar), Barry

M. (bass) and Jason Yates (guitar/vocals). “[Jump the Planet] has drawn on influences of classic rock, punk, blues, and reggae with a Detroit edge, producing a synergy of an original hard rock/alternative sound,” the band’s Facebook page says. “We didn’t have to always be concerned about what other people thought - it was up to us to create what we liked.” Hargrave said it was

a bit of a struggle finding local people with the same level of desire to play music. “It’s cool to find people you have chemistry with - all from the same area.” The band’s members range in age from 29 to 52 - something Hargrave said is hard to find in bands from larger cities. All members have day jobs right now, but they would like to be able to put more time towards their music. The four recently recorded three demoquality songs at a studio in Chilliwack. Their next goal is to produce a proper album. “I do most of the work myself, from booking to cold calling, to handing out flyers and begging people I know to give us a chance.” Jump the Planet will be touring throughout western Canada this summer, including a stop at the Okanagan Fest-of-Ale in Penticton from April 13 to 14 and other concerts along the way.

The Princeton Posse’s season has come to an end, with a 5-4 loss to the Kelowna Chiefs at a home game on March 12. Game 5 was scoreless until five minutes into the second period, when Posse Spencer Kristensen, assisted by Brett Perrine, scored. The Kelowna Chiefs tied the game four minutes later, but 25 seconds later Princeton broke the tie with a goal by Jaden Janzen (assisted by Keenan Ford). Soon after, Posse Justin Moltzahn was tripped

in front of the Kelowna goal and was given a penalty shot. Moltzahn didn’t make the shot, but broke the 2-all tie at the beginning of the third (assisted by Adrian Coulter and Kevin Ramundo). The Chiefs scored at 14:42 in the third, but the Posse broke the 3-all tie seven minutes later when Eric Schmidt scored. Kelowna tied the game again with only one minute to go, causing the game to go into overtime. The Chiefs scored the winning goal at 4:42, leading to the team winning the second semi-final round 4-1.

Theft from unlocked cars climbs

mainly at night. But thefts have also been reported during the day. Princeton RCMP is asking the public to call 911 if they see any suspicious people or activities. They are also reminding people to lock their doors and keep valuables out of sight.

Princeton RCMP are warning residents of a rise in theft from unlocked vehicles. The thefts aren’t isolated to one area of town, but have been reported in the Third Bench, the Tunnel, Allision Flats and the downtown area. The culprit (or culprits) has stolen cash and electronic items, such as cameras and Ipods,

Broken ﬁre hydrant causes ﬂood A driver failed to report that his or her car has it collided with a fire hydrant at the corner of Tulameen Avenue and Aspen Street in the early morning hours on March 18. As a result of the collision, the fire hydrant was ruptured, flooding the street and causing

Princeton to pay less on heat bills Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

FortisBC residential customers in Princeton will see around a $100 savings per year on their heat bills. This is a 10 per cent decrease from previous years, said the BC Utilities Commission. The drop in price will begin April 1, 2012. A mild winter, growing supply of natural gas and reduced demand have come together to keep natural gas prices low, said Cynthia Des Brisay, BCUC vice-president of energy

supply and resource development. “The rates approved today are allowing our customers to continue to benefit from some of the lowest delivered natural gas prices in more than a decade,” she said. The Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Northern B.C. and the Kootenays will see the same decrease as Princeton and other Okanagan communities. Whistler, Fort Nelson and Revelstoke residents will save between $93 and $106 per year.

HART - 24/7 coverage provided for acutely ill patients Dr. Trevor Connolly, the local medical director for HART, said the 24/7 coverage will be a win for both patients, rural facilities and the Penticton hospital. “It was a project I believed in,

and I also believed in the staff we got,” he said. “As a physician, we always worry about patients in transport. It’s a big decision to know whether these patients are going to be stable during transportation or

require a higher level of care. “This will really bridge that gap or void.” South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation executive director Janice Perrino said they were

able to make the $180,000 donation to set the team up with equipment after a Penticton man saw the need for better rural service and coverage, in part because his family lived in the outlying region. “He was not able to give this gift in his life,” Submitted Perrino said, not- A HART member simulates a life-saving exercise. ing it was a legathat makes me sad is he’s not here to cy donation made as part of his estate. “The only part see what a difference it will make.”

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other beneﬁts that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difﬁcult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualiﬁcations must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

Let’s turn Princeton purple for a day Local 16-year old Nikolaos Naz can tell you all about Purple Day, should you ask him. He and his mother Teri are Community Champions currently campaigning for the Center for Epilepsy & Seizure Education. Purple Day is an awareness campaign that is close to their hearts. Nikolaos Naz began having seizures at the age of two. He was diagnosed with Polymicrogyria (PMG) a developmental malformation of the human brain characterized by an excessive number of small convolutions (gyri) on the surface of the brain. Either the whole surface (generalized) or parts of the surface (focal) can be affected. At the age of 16, with thanks to medication and the fact that he is growing up, he has been seizure free for the past two and a half years. “It was hard to live with,” said Naz, “But you have to stay strong, and

not give up.” Naz said that his doctors: Dr. Adams (Princeton) and Dr. Farrell (Children’s Hospital) along with his mom helped him to stay strong. This is his second year of campaigning and he does so to encourage other kids to be strong, promote Epilepsy awareness and to help raise funds to send kids to summer camp, provide support services and to promote research. On Wednesday, March 21 Naz will host a high school dance for Princeton Secondary Students. Advance tickets for $5 and $8 at the door. The dance will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Purple Cupcake Day will be held on March 24 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Cooper’s Foods. Naz and mom Teri will be on hand selling cupcakes by donation. Teri and Nikolaos send out a extra special thank you to Keith Olsen at Everything Pets for his tremendous support and a thank you to the following business for their generosity and support: The Source, Mac’s Auto Parts, Rootz Hair Salon, Winking Pedlar, The Loonie Bin/Bakery, A & W, Lordco,

Get rid of that old wood stove: RDOS Wood stove pollution is at its worst in valley communities similar to the Similkameen Valley because temperature inversions prevent wood smoke from being dispersed, keeping it right where residents live and breathe. “The pollution starts during the winter months. You can tell yourself when you look up and see smoke just sitting there,” said Janice Johnson, former Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen air quality co-ordinator and owner of environmental business a Footstep Closer. From March until the end of April, RDOS residents can get a $250 rebate when they replace their

exposure include an increased risk of lower respiratory tract illness such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. For people with asthma, wood smoke is associated with an exacerbation (or flaring up) of asthma. Other health effects include a decrease in lung function, or decreased breathing ability, as well as an increase in emergency room visits. Young children, the elderly and people with pre-existing heart and lung disease are most likely to be affected; the harmful pollutants released in wood smoke, however, also directly impact the health of otherwise healthy individuals. New EPA wood stoves when operated correctly will reduce smoke pollution by 90 per cent and use one-third less wood, the RDOS said. The BC Lung Association said there are ways to improve the efficiency of wood fires. Burn dry, seasoned hardwood. Burning “green” or wet wood produces significantly more smoke. Firewood should be seasoned for at least six months. Burning seasoned wood also saves money by reducing your wood consumption by 25 percent. •Split wood into pieces that are 10-15cm (4-6in) in diameter. Fires burn better with more

old wood stoves with a new EPA/ CSA emission-approved wood, gas, pellet or electric appliances. Only the first 60 exchanges will be given the credit. Participating retailers are also offering a discount of around $150. “If you have one person in a neighbourhood burning inefficiently, the whole community will be affected,” Johnson said. It’s easy to tell if wood stoves aren’t working efficiently, she said. “If there’s smoke pouring out of the chimney then its creating unnecessary air pollution. Plus it’s wasting fuel because the smoke is unburned energy.” The health effects of wood smoke

Smoke from chimneys indicates inefficient burning.

wood surface area exposed to the flame. • Store wood outside, off the

ground and covered. Bring it into your home in small amounts as needed. Green wood stored indoors can increase humidity and lead to mould growth, which may trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Use small pieces of wood kindling and newspaper to start your fire. Add larger pieces of wood as required. • Burn small, hot fires – they produce much less smoke than ones that are left to smoulder. •Open the stove or fireplace damper to increase air circulation and improve burning. When you see smoke, it’s a sign of oxygen starvation and incomplete burning. •Do not dampen or hold your fire overnight. This creates excessive emissions and promotes the formation of creosote. •Never burn garbage, plastics, cardboard or styrofoam. Burning garbage releases poisons. •Never burn wood that has been taken from salt water. Chlorine combines with the smoke to produce dioxins and furans, which are dangerous carcinogens. •Never burn pressuretreated or painted wood, particleboard or plywood. Wood treated with varnishes and sealants, or sprayed with pesticides, contain toxic chemicals.

PUZZLE NO. 341

Weep Wide Wisdom Wished Wrote Zoos

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO.341

TAURUS: Force your way in, Taurus, and you will regret it. Be patient, wait your turn and it will come in time. The web of deception builds at work. GEMINI: Creative endeavors take off with a special purchase. Grab some friends and make a party of it, Gemini. The fix for an auto dilemma is clear. CANCER: Blink, and you’ll miss it for sure, Cancer. That’s how small the gesture will be, but at least an effort was made. Be grateful, and watch as it is paid forward. LEO: Don’t jump to conclusions, Leo. What you see is not what you’ll get. You’re only in the initial stages of planning. Give the idea time to flesh out before you critique it.

ARIES: Two wrongs do not make a right. Admit what you did, Aries, and prepare to pay the price. Weekend adventures put everyone in high spirits.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column, or 3x3 box.

VIRGO: It is what it is, Virgo. No amount of fussing is going to make the situation better, so leave it be. You have much bigger fish to fry.

LIBRA: You need to break the ice, Libra, but be careful you don’t go overboard and say something that could turn into a deal breaker.

SCORPIO: Craft ideas abound. Make a day of it with your family, Scorpio, and get the scoop on what you’ve been missing. A brave face makes an earnest plea. SAGITTARIUS: Stop it, Sagittarius! You’ve devoted way too many hours to a project that clearly wasn’t meant to be. Can it and move on to something more fruitful. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

SpotlightLIFESTYLES

A delicious duck dish without getting my goose cooked I had planned a different story and recipe for this week (from the one I am giving you), but while digging through some files of recipes I realized I had some more good recipes to do with jerky that you might like to have. Before I get to the recipes, however, I have a great story to pass along. I was out fishing one morning in a little lake behind Sooke on Vancouver Island when a bunch of hunters moved in a started shooting at anything that moved, including me. I waited out the storm of bullets, then noticed that my trigger happy friends had shot on educe that floated under a little bridge and out of sight. I waited until everybody except me had left, the collected MY duck. It was a big bird, nice and plump, and I could not wait to get it in my oven. When I finally got it cooked and carved it was one of the most delicious ducks I have ever

eaten. Part of the reason it was so tasty was due to the way I got it I am sure, but in any case I surely enjoyed it. Here is how I cooked it: Ingredients; 1 or 2 plump ducks 2 carrots, chopped 2 potatoes, chopped 1/2 a medium onion, sliced NELSON LEWIS 1/2 cup broth, tomato juice or water 1 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. sage or savoury 1 tsp. poultry seasoning salt and pepper to taste butter or margarine as needed Method; then place Place the duckling(s) in a shallow roasting the birds, pan and add the vegetables, and the sea- split down sonings. Now add the liquid and pop into a the back

350F oven for twenty minutes. Now cover with foil shiny side out, and return to the oven for another twenty to thirty minutes, or until bevy tender. Season to taste and serve. If you like duck you will love duck jerky. Simply cook the duck or ducks as above,

bone, on a rack and place it in the smoker. Smoke lightly for an hour or so and it will be well beyond delicious. My last suggestion is for smoked whitefish. Simply scale the fish and dry it in the oven, (jerky), and then transfer it to a smoker. Smoked whitefish is simply outstanding. See ya next week!
