B.C. braces for timber supply slump Tom Fletcher Black Press Beetle-killed pine trees across the B.C. Interior will start to become uneconomical to log in the next two to five years, resulting in a steep drop in timber supply and employment, according to a technical report prepared for the forests ministry. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson found a confidential draft version of the report that was mistakenly made public on the ministry’s website. It estimates that without opening up protected areas and

harvesting lower-volume stands, as many as half of the forest industry jobs in the Cariboo and northern region will disappear. The draft report reviews the sharp increase in the annual allowable cut in the affected region, and the “drastic” decline that would occur without changes. The Lakes timber supply area around Burns Lake would see a 67 per cent drop, and the Quesnel area would see its allowable cut reduced by 51 per cent. The beetle impact is less in the Prince George and Williams Lake areas, which would drop 32 per cent without changing rules.

In the legislature Tuesday, Simpson called on the government to announce what changes it will make to ease the impact of the timber supply loss. “In those technical appraisals it points out that in my area, in Quesnel, we have one and a half years of commercial timber left, and we may see 1,600 jobs lost if mitigation measures are not taken,” Simpson said. “But those mitigation measures are highly controversial and will completely change the face of forestry in this province, and yet the same report isn’t sure if this government wants

to consult.” Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell said there will be consultation, and work is continuing to determine whether the Babine Forest Products mill can be rebuilt and supplied following an explosion and fire that destroyed it in January. The report discusses options including the relaxing of cutting restrictions on view corridors and old growth areas, as well as shifting available timber supply from the Prince George and Williams Lake areas to the Quesnel and Burns Lake area.

Bloy apologizes for insults to Dix Tom Fletcher Black Press Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy apologized Monday after questioning the honesty of NDP leader Adrian Dix during a raucous debate over the BC Hydro smart meter program. Bloy stood to defend the program after NDP MLAs raised claims of health concerns and unexpected spikes in elec-

tricity bills. Bloy first pointed to NDP energy critic John Horgan’s initial enthusiasm for digital power meters, but then questioned whether Dix would “lie and cheat and steal money.” Deputy speaker Linda Reid called on Bloy to withdraw the comments, which are considered unparliamentary language. Bloy did so, but didn’t apologize until asked about the incident by re-

porters an hour later. “I do apologize,” Bloy said. “I did withdraw the remarks unequivocally.” Bloy refused to comment on his reference in the legislative chamber to former MP Svend Robinson’s theft of an engagement ring in 2004, and Bloy’s question about whether Dix did something similar. Horgan, also the NDP house leader, said Bloy’s outburst was part of a

strategy by government MLAs to make personal attacks on Dix. He said Bloy should apologize to Dix in person. During the heckling that surrounded Bloy’s remarks, B.C. Liberal MLA John Rustad also accused NDP MLA Nicholas Simons of making an “unparliamentary gesture” with his hand, which was heavily bandaged from an injury.

Quit-smoking program still popular about half of those are first-time applicants, for a program that allows up to two refills of 12-week supplies of quit-smoking aids. The 50,000 people represent about nine per cent of the 550,000 people in B.C. who still smoke. Scott McDonald, CEO of the B.C. Lung

Association, said 15 per cent of B.C. residents smoke, the lowest rate in Canada. But that is still too many. “About 70 per cent of habitual smokers want to kick the habit, and we want to motivate them to make an attempt,” McDonald said. “They’re not always successful.”

Heritage values workshop highlights themes City council, at its Tuesday meeting, received a report containing the initial outcomes of the Heritage Values Workshop held Jan. 21 by the Heritage Advisory Committee in conjunction with the B.C. Heritage branch. Council directed staff to work with the committee to proceed with further public input over the summer months to include youth, First Nations, and all ethnic communities on the heritage values drafted out of the workshop.

Common themes coming out of the workshop were: • natural beauty and resources of the area and the recreational and livability opportunities this affords; • Williams Lake as an accessible connector to the east, west, north and south makes it a natural gathering place for commerce, socializing and services; and • multi-faceted cultural heritage, the people and events are an integral part of our history.

The Lung Association estimates that when people try to quit cold turkey, they are only successful between four and six per cent of the time. With the help of nicotine patches, gum or prescription drugs, that success rate doubles, and with the help of counselling available through

the program it improves again, so the association expects about 10 per cent of people in the B.C. program will end up quitting for good. De Jong said even with that success rate, the program is a good investment because it saves the province “much, much more”

by avoiding smokingrelated cancer and other diseases. B.C. residents may apply to get gum or patches by calling 8-1-1. Or Pharmacare will cover the cost of a 12-week supply of Champix or Zyban, if prescribed by a doctor to ease withdrawal from smoking.

The 8-1-1 line to HealthLink BC provides general health advice, and can refer callers to telephone support for those trying to quit smoking. Starting in May, the program website www.quitnow.ca will also offer the option of real-time chat with a counsellor.

It has been shown that those diabetics who understand their diabetes will manage it better. People that smoke marijuana in their youth appear to be more at risk of pyschoses and schizophrenia later in life. Two thousand young people that smoked marijuana at least 5 times were found to be 5 times more likely to develop psychosis during the next ten years. Food for thought. The idea that all herbal supplements are safe because they are natural is not always true. We always recommend you tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbals you take on a regular basis because there are some herbs that can interact with some drugs like warfarin (used as an anti-clotting agent for some heart problems). Herbs like dong quai, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng and St. John’s wort are examples. Alcohol and a good night’s sleep are not compatible. If you aren’t sleeping well, look at your alcohol intake. Older women seen to be more affected with poor sleeps after alcohol than men. Try without for a while and see if your sleep improves. Take charge of your own health and your family’s health.

Time to talk about ticks Spring is here and many of us will be spending more time outdoors in tall grass and wooded areas, which means an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks, small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals, can sometimes transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from tick bites. “There are easy things you can do to protect yourself like covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks when returning from a walk, hike or bike ride,” said Dr. Karin Goodison, public health physician with Interior Health. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; how-

ever, any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned because infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin.” While ticks are common in the Interior Health region, most are the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) species which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. Lyme disease-carrying ticks (I. pacificus) are more common in the coastal areas of B.C. The wood tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare. In addition, ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if they are attached for several days, especially in children or seniors — but the symptoms fade

once the tick is removed from the skin. The signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and rash. “Lyme disease-carrying ticks are less common in the Interior of B.C. than on the coast; however, our residents do travel around the province, so it’s important they are aware of the signs of Lyme disease,” said Dr. Goodison. “Approximately 70-80 per cent of people newly infected with Lyme disease will develop small red bumps at the site of the tick bite within several days. The redness then spreads out into a circular rash eventually resembling a target or bull’s-eye. Individuals who experience this rash

should see their doctor as soon as possible.” One of the most important ways to reduce the risk of tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors. Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. • Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and lightcoloured clothing. • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. • Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. • Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. • Regularly checking household pets for ticks. To reduce ticks from entering your home and

yard, try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any leaf litter and weeds. • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house. • Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you find a tick on yourself, a family member or pet, wear gloves when removing it and be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin

Get immunized, IHA advises Joanne Smrek Interior Health Immunizations save lives and prevent illness by protecting individuals and communities from the spread of disease. As more people are immunized, the disease risk for everyone is reduced. National Immunization Awareness Week runs from April 21-28 and is a great time to make sure that you and your loved ones are up to date with all the recommended

vaccines. It’s free and easy to get all routine immunizations. Just call your local health centre to book an appointment. Some doctors and pharmacists may also provide some immunizations. Vaccines are effective and safe. Vaccines trick your body into thinking that it is being attacked by a disease. Your body responds by making antibodies specific to the vaccine you received. These antibodies stay in your body and protect you

from the disease if you are exposed to it in the future. It is much safer to get a vaccine than to get the disease. Most vaccine side effects, such as pain and swelling where the immunization was given, are mild and go away within a few days. The risks associated with vaccines are far fewer and less severe than those associated with the actual disease. Not everyone can be immunized and not all who are immunized will

respond adequately to the vaccine. This may be due to a variety of reasons including age and medical conditions. This is why it is very important for everyone who can be vaccinated to do so. This helps to build a circle of protection around those who need it. For more information talk to a public health nurse or your family doctor. Immunization information and a list of public health offices are

available on our website http://www.interiorhealth.ca. Public Health Offices are also listed under Health Authorities in the Blue Pages of your telephone directory. There is also a wealth of immunization information on the ImmunizeBC website www.immunizebc.ca. Joanne Smrek is a clinical resource co-ordinator of vaccine promotion/education with Interior Health.

Late-night work rules eased Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C.’s labour minister is defending changes to the workplace regulation that required employers to provide a secure barrier for night-shift employers who work alone. Changes took effect Sunday that allow another option for operators of gas stations, convenience

stores and other 24-hour businesses. Rather than have a security barrier or more than one employee present, the regulation allows employers to put in video surveillance and a call button for employees. The original regulation is known as Grant’s law, after Maple Ridge gas station employee Grant De Patie, who was run

over and killed in 2005 when he tried to stop a driver from leaving without paying for gasoline. Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said Monday the main provision of Grant’s law is mandatory pre-payment for gasoline, and that remains. WorkSafeBC offered the new option after four years of consultation, she said.

“With a small familyrun business that may be open late at night, it’s often somebody from the family who is working there,” MacDiarmid said. “If they’re forced to put in a barrier that may cost upward of $50,000 or more, the business is going to fold. So they were listened to, and those other safety measures will be taken. WorkSafeBC is going

Ottawa takes B.C.’s advice on environment Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. government officials have warmly welcomed the federal government’s plan to leave all but the largest environmental assessments to provinces and place strict timelines on project approval decisions. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announced the changes Tuesday, acknowledging provincial requests to move to a “one project, one review” approach and an end to long, uncertain federal reviews that duplicate provincial hearings. Oliver’s ministry cited several examples, including the NaiKun Wind Energy proposal for an offshore wind farm in Hecate Strait near Haida Gwaii. The federal approval came 16 months after the province had given the

project the green light. Premier Christy Clark said all the western premiers have been calling on Ottawa for most of the last decade to end the duplication in environmental reviews. “It’s good for the economy to try to make sure that we can get projects to a yes — or to a no — in as timely a way as possible, because that is good for investment,” Clark said. Oliver said there are more than 40 federal government departments and agencies that currently have responsibility for project reviews. That will be reduced to three: the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, the National Energy Board and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and reviews will be limited to two years. The National Energy Board is currently holding hearings on the pro-

posed Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. It is also expecting an application from Kinder Morgan Canada to expand capacity of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline from the Edmonton area to Burnaby. Clark said the B.C. government will wait for the federal review to be completed before taking a position on either project. She criticized Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan for their recent statements opposing the Kinder Morgan proposal. “I think some of the mayors have decided that they know how the process is going to turn out, and they know all the information that will be presented and they’re able to tell us in advance what the risks might be,” Clark said.

Environmentalism for dummies

avid Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviroscare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked.

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well? This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in

pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlori-

nated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certi-

fication for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agree-

ment on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

Investors don’t mind B.C. HST failure Tom Fletcher Black Press

Even with billion-dollar deficits to back out of the harmonized sales tax, Kevin Falcon is getting a warm reception as he makes the annual finance minister’s tour of major banks and bond rating agencies. Reached in Toronto between stops in New York and Chicago, Fal-

con said last Thursday’s AAA credit rating reports by Moody’s Investors Services and Standard and Poor’s show that B.C. continues to compare favourably to other jurisdictions emerging from the 2008-09 recession. “In a world of great uncertainty, we’re part of a pretty elite, small club, a shrinking club of jurisdictions that enjoy the

strongest possible credit rating,” Falcon said. “There is a lot of investment interest in British Columbia.” B.C. started its fiscal year April 1 with a deficit expected to be $969 million, returning to a $154 million surplus by 2013-14 and a spring election. “The province’s plan to balance its budget by 2013-14 is feasible given

its track record of effective fiscal management,” Moody’s said in its credit rating report. Falcon said B.C.’s growing Asia trade is looked on favourably by bankers and private investors, which he has lined up a series of meetings with this week. They notice projected spending limited to two per cent overall, and a

record of meeting budget targets, he said. Ontario is collecting HST revenues, but aims to take until 2017-18 to get its $16 billion deficit back into the black. Moody’s warned Ontario in December of a possible credit rating downgrade if it fails to meet that target, a change that would increase government borrowing costs.

Spring Car Care 2012

Seven automotive myths revealed When it comes to cars, many drivers would admit their technical knowledge is lacking. In addition, automotive technology is constantly changing, making it hard to separate car facts from fiction. The following are some of the most common myths and misconceptions about vehicles. Myth 1: Higher octane fuel causes all cars to run better. Fuels are rated according to how they prevent detonation in the engine. Higher performance engines generally have higher compression ratios and are more prone to detonation. They require high-octane fuel to prevent this. Other engines have different compression rates and usually require a lower-octane fuel. Unless a driver hears engine pinging or knocking, switching to a higher octane

will not improve performance due to the engine design. Drivers can save their money and stick with â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular.â&#x20AC;? Myth 2: You must service your vehicle at the dealership or the warranty will be voided. It is illegal for dealerships to force service be done strictly at the dealership. Routine maintenance can be done by

not use more fuel than idling a car. Myth 4: All wheel drive (AWD) makes a vehicle invincible in inclement weather. AWD can provide some added traction going up a snowy hill or coming out of a turn on a rain-slicked surface, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a vehicle invincible. AWD will do little to help a driver avoid road hazards or grip the pavement in corners. Tires, suspension and driver skill are essential as well. Myth 5: Side mirrors are properly adjusted when a driver can see the side of the car in each. In fact, they are improperly adjusted if the sides of the car can be viewed. Moving out the mirrors just a bit more reduces the need to look over a shoulder to check for blind spots, which takes a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes off the road.

other vendors. Find out if certain after-market parts installation may affect the warranty, but even these should be okay. Myth 3: Idling uses less gas than restarting the engine. Drivers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sit idling, wasting gas and contributing to added emissions. Restarting a warm engine does

Myth 6: All-season tires offer more traction in the rainy seasons. Unless a person lives in a locale with considerable snowfall, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to avoid all-season tires. A standard tire has more grip, both wet and dry, than an equivalent allseason tire. Myth 7: Antilock braking systems were designed to create shorter stopping distances. ABS actually was created to enable a driver to steer out of danger and not spin out while braking. Shorter stopping distances may occur, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a side effect of the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design.

Freshen up your A/C system Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned the same vehicle for a few years and have recently started to notice a funny smell inside. If the smell is strongest when you start using the air conditioning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure sign that your A/C system needs to be serviced or cleaned. The first thing to do is check to see if your vehicle has a cabin filter. If it does, begin by either cleaning or changing the filter. If you discover itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite dirty, chances are the

air ducts in the A/C system are also lined with dirt of some kind. You could try dismantling the A/C system to clean those ducts, valves, and doors by yourself, and you could deodorize your interior with an aftermarket product, but there is no way you will get it cleaned up as thoroughly as a professional shop could. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to have the whole system checked by a professional. In many cases, older vehicles

have lost some of their refrigerant, a special cooling gas that is essential to the system. This gas is not meant to be released into the air, as it pollutes the atmosphere. A professional shop will be able to identify leaks, make the

necessary repairs, and top off the system with the proper gas. Be sure to get your A/C work done now, though. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for those hot days to arrive to make you realize how important air conditioning is in your car!

Spring Car Care 2012

Avoid Engine Overheating It is a common sight many an automobile owner is all to familiar with: A car is stranded on the side of the road with the hood open and smoke billowing out as an exasperated driver looks on shaking his or her head. An overheated engine can render a car useless in a matter of minutes. A vehicle is propelled by an engine that ignites gasoline and causes controlled explosions within. An engine can produce quite a lot of heat. Compound this with external temperatures and an overheated engine may occur. Other mechanical factors can also cause an engine to overheat. These include a faulty thermostat to regulate coolant supply to the engine and even an inoperable radiator fan. Experts say an average car engine is designed to operate within 195 to 220 F. Anything above that could cause

engine failure. Overheating can cause a lot of damage to a car. It may damage and burn holes in the parts. Rings, pistons or rod bearings may become impaired, or one can blow a head gasket. Coolant is designed to protect an engine to a point, but it can also become compromised under high heat. Boiling coolant

may cause the radiator and hoses to burst. The best way to avoid engine and vehicle trouble due to overheating is to prevent an engine from becoming overheated in the first place. Here are strategies to employ. 1. Ensure that coolant levels are maintained and there are no leaks that would cause cool-

ant to drip out. Be sure the right coolant is being used for the particular vehicle. 2. Dirty, inadequate motor oil cannot dissipate heat as well as clean oil. Check the oil level and viscosity. Change the oil before a long trip or if it looks past its prime. 3. Confirm radiator hoses are in good working order and do not look worn out. 4. Have a mechanic check that a radiator fan is working and that there is adequate air flow through the radiator. 5. Be aware of engine temperature by watching the gauge on the dashboard. If an engine seems like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to overheat, here are some steps to take. * Slow down, and pull into the right lane. Turn on the heat in the car and open the windows. This may draw heat out of the engine block, while

Save your tires: think wheel alignment! Winter takes its toll on any car or truck if you live in a cold weather climate. During the cold season, roads heave with the frost and grow cracks and potholes that seem impossible for drivers to avoid. The result? Wheels become unbalanced and a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering gets slightly misaligned. Northern drivers know what that means: the tires on their vehicles begin to wear out irregularly and wheels start jiggling around. The car doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steer straight and driving becomes more tedious. When all that happens, it is time to get the wheels balanced and the steering aligned. Spending a bit of money on this kind of maintenance is well worth the investment.

For starters, a car out of alignment wears out its tires in an incorrect way. You can detect this yourself by simply looking at your tires. If you only see wear on a part of one of the front tires, on the inside or outside of the tire, that means that your vehicle really needs an alignment. With newer tires, running your hand along the tread can reveal any sharp edges, another telltale sign of misalignment. If you feel the steering wheel jumping slightly in your hands, that means the front wheels need balancing. If there is a vibration in the floorpan of the vehicle, most probably the rear wheels need balancing. And if both occur, well, you get the drift. Just remember that jumpy wheels

cause irreparable damage to the tires, including irregular wear and flat spots, and they

maintaining a slow pace can continue to draw air over the engine. * Pull over and open the hood to allow the engine to cool. * Top off the radiator with coolant. Water can also work in a pinch.

* Take frequent breaks during long road trips to allow the engine to cool down for at least 15 minutes. * Be sure to clear the radiator from obstructions, including leaves or insects that may have

With the Christmas Season behind us I would like to revisit a topic that has constantly stirred media and popular opinion for the past number of years. The eye of much of this polarizing storm is located in the United States; therefore, I will focus on this discussion for two reasons: First, I am operating on the old adage that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the USA catches a cold, Canada sneezes.â&#x20AC;? Further, that most Canadians operate on the assumption, though inaccurate, that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church/Stateâ&#x20AC;? discussion is enshrined in the Canadian Bill of Rights and Freedoms and speak on this topic with a decidedly American slant. The actual phrase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Separation of Church and Stateâ&#x20AC;?, is not found in the US Constitution. The idea, though not the wording, are found in the First Amendment to the Constitution which states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the government for redress of grievances.â&#x20AC;? It was Thomas Jefferson who first used the term saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;...

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA

the legislature shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.â&#x20AC;? Often at the core of this discussion are Christian groups that become frustrated by the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curtailing of certain perceived religious rights, such as having the Ten Commandments removed from courthouses or the removal of an opening prayer from public schools. But, are these in fact religious rights? Is this a violation of what the framers of the Constitution intended when they penned the First Amendment to the US Constitution? To get a better grip on this issue letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look

into history a bit. Most scholars believe that the concept ofâ&#x20AC;&#x153;separation of church and stateâ&#x20AC;? has its roots in the teaching of influential Christian leaders, not secular leaders. Augustine, in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;City of God,â&#x20AC;? began the discussion on the ideal relationship between the temporal (earthly) city and the eternal (spiritual) city of God. He believed that God in His wisdom appointed both the church and state, so that people could learn to live in peace in this world. Over a thousand years later Martin Luther, the great Reformer began to articulate his Doctrine of Two Kingdoms building on the works of Augustine and others. James Madison, Father of the Constitution, points to Lutherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;two kingdomsâ&#x20AC;? as the beginning point for modern discussion on the concept of separation of church and state. The concept of separation of church and state seems, from its beginning a Christian ideal, not some atheistic plot to corrupt good Christian people. Tune in next time when we will ask the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why two of the most influential Christian leaders of all history would be such strong proponents of the separation of church and state?â&#x20AC;?

Never Shoot a Stampede Queen becomes a one-man stage play The four Stampede Queen contestants will be among the helpers attending the 22nd annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo this weekend. Look for them taking tickets, selling programs and helping out at the dances. In addition to learning more about horsemanship, public speaking, rodeo and the community around them the contestants have been touring local facilities such as the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin and the Tourism Discovery Centre where they discovered copies of the book Never Shoot a Stampede Queen, by Mark Leiren-Young. The book is a humourous look at his adventures as a fledgling reporter who spent about a year back in the 1980s working at the Tribune. Never Shoot a Stampede Queen put the Williams Lake rodeo on the literary map when it

won the 2009 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. The book spent 16 weeks on the B.C. Bestseller’s list. The title relates to one story in the book in which Leiren-Young talks about the public backlash he endured when the editor of the day chose to run the most unflattering picture he had taken of that year’s group of Stampede Queen contestants. The book contains numerous humourous insights into what it is like being a reporter in a small town. Leiren-Young is now working on a one-man theatrical review based on the book that will be premiered in Kamloops next year. “A stage version of Stampede Queen was workshopped at the Arts Club in Vancouver a few months ago,” Leiren-Young says. “It is getting its world premiere next April at the Western Canada Theatre

in Kamloops and is going to star Jessie Award winning actor and Bard on the Beach star Ryan Beil as um me .... and everyone else.”

He says Beil is best known for being the funny, young guy in all the A&W commercials. “There’s interest from a bunch of other

theatres, but everyone else has to wait for the premiere now,” Leiren Young says. “I would love to bring the show to Williams Lake.”

TIPS FROM THE CRD

Gel Fuel Safety

Gel fuel is used with re pots, personal replaces, and paƟo torches. These devices can create a warm, cozy environment. However, they should be considered an open ame and extreme cauƟon is necessary when using or adding fuel.

• • • • • • • • • • •

SAFETY TIPS

Never leave a lit re pot, personal replace or paƟo torch unaƩended. Keep these devices at least one foot from anything that can burn. Place the re pot or personal replace on a sturdy surface. Make sure paƟo torches are secure and not in the path of people or pets. Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away. These devices will be hot during and aŌer burning, do not touch or move. Be careful reaching over the device because clothing or hair could catch re. Use only gel fuel to refuel. Never subsƟtute another kind of fuel. Citronella gel fuel is intended for outdoor use only. Allow the device to cool for 30–45 minutes before refueling. Pouring gel fuel in a device that is not completely cool may result in a re or injury.

Earth Day: an international event On Sunday, April 22, more than 500 million people will celebrate Earth Day. This important environmental event is an attempt to mobilize the planet and remind everyone that even small gestures are essential to save our environment.

Earth Day is a time for everyone to remember how important even small gestures are in safeguarding our environment.

Created by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970, Earth Day unites individuals, organizations, and businesses in the same environmental challenge: the reduction of our ecological footprint. For 42 years now, various cultural and educational activities have been organized around the world to raise peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of environmental issues, and in particular to promote and encourage concrete actions that will reduce the ecological footprint of human beings.

An ecological footprint is the measure of human demand on land and water to supply the resources a human population consumes as well as the absorption of the resulting waste. No one will be surprised to learn that the current demand on natural resources is not sustainable: global consumption is such that more than one planet would be necessary to satisfy our current demand! Earth Day is the ideal occasion to do something concrete for the environmental cause. Planting a tree, using public transport, recycling, reusing, and composting are all gestures that will have a positive impact on the environment. Earth Day is the time to get moving on this issue, to act now, for ourselves and for future generations.

Clean Up/Roofing/Construction Modern solutions for all your garbage and recycling needs.

Daffodil pin a symbol of hope April is Daffodil Month and April 27 is National Daffodil Day. Williams Lake is one of 24 communities in the Canadian Cancer Society’s B.C./Yukon Northern Region to join the movement. “We’ve all been touched by cancer. In fact, two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and one in four will die,” says Carol Grosso, Canadian Cancer Society spokesperson. “That’s why we’re asking British Columbians to join the fight and wear the daffodil pin this April.” The society is asking all Canadians to join

the fight and wear the daffodil pin, a bright and hopeful symbol of support for those affected by cancer and a remembrance of those lost to the disease. Pins are available at the B.C. Liquor Store at 730-B Oliver St. in Williams Lake. The cancer society office in Williams Lake is located in the Seniors’ Activity Centre on Fourth Avenue. On Daffodil Day, April 27, the society is also encouraging people to mark the day by doing something special for someone living with cancer or to contribute in some way to fight against the disease.

“It is important for people who have been affected by cancer to know that they are not alone,” says Lorraine Grant, board chair of the Canadian Cancer Society B.C. and Yukon Division. Donations for every pin go toward support services including programs for individuals seeking cancer information, emotional support and camps for youth and families. The society also provides transportation services and lodge accommodations along with limited, short-term financial assistance for treatment-related transportation and accommodation.

Earth Day mural painting a family event The second annual downtown Williams Lake Family Mural Painting project in celebration of Earth Day, using recycled paint, takes place this Sunday, April 22. People of all ages are invited to put on their painting clothes, bring along water to drink, paint, brushes, gloves and safety glasses and join in helping to paint the new mural that has been designed for the Rona building at the corner of Proctor Street and Third Avenue. Everyone is welcome, says Potato House Society president Mary Forbes, who is co-ordinating the project that will be hosted by Kimberly McLennan from ART 4 Wellness with support from Rona and the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society. “There is an earthy design that will be unveiled at 9 a.m. April 22,” Forbes says, adding the painting starts at 10 a.m. and continues to 3 p.m. Forbes, who is also the Young Naturalist Club leader at Scout Island. will also provide opportunities for people to try the gyotaku Japanese fish printing method of creating prints of fish using a pink salmon and a rainbow trout that will be provided by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Forbes will be helping kids and adults to create fish prints on flags, on

their favourite T-shirt and onto the mural. “Life-like, beautiful impressions will be made,” Forbes says. Earth Day Extravaganza Saturday The Awakening the Dreamer: Changing the Dream symposium taking place at Thompson Rivers University during the day on Saturday, April 21 will be followed in the evening with an Earth Day Extravaganza at TRU from 6 to 11 p.m. featuring local performers in spoken word, music, visual arts, and a live dance band. The entry fee is $10 and children under 15 get in free. Drum and Bell Tower is featured at 8 p.m. Food vendors will be on site during the day and evening. For more information on the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium and community sustainability forum at TRU Saturday go to www.changingthedream.ca. “The symposium confronts the current state of the world, examines how we got here and most importantly looks at possible futures and how we can begin to work to create a sustainable and socially just future,” says

Jay Goddard, one of the event organizers. “To be sure, the film and discussion presents a frank and realistic picture of the current state of the world.” Participants will be invited to learn more about how they can become involved in supporting local initiatives, learn to be green consumers, create greater awareness, influence decision makers and feel empowered to begin to work towards change.

LARGE TWO-BEDROOM FAMILY HOME Decorative pillars, a stucco exterior and extra-large windows lend this large two-bedroom family home a classical air. Entry is on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor, where an L-shaped stairway leads to the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor and the main living areas. A coat closet is conveniently placed near the entrance. The den is ideally placed for a home ofďŹ ce, but could double as a guest room. The unďŹ nished basement, included in the plans, features a roughed in three-piece bathroom. Also on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor are a laundry room and storage area. Upstairs, the great room features french doors that open onto a spacious sundeck, which will be popular during the summer months. The rest of the year, a gas ďŹ replace will warm this room, making it ideal for family activities, as well as entertaining. The dining room, which overlooks the front garden, features an optional built-in buffet. It is separated from the kitchen by an eating bar, the perfect spot for casual meals and snacks. The kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s step-saving U-shaped counter conďŹ guration spells efďŹ ciency, and the open plan ensures the cook will never feel isolated. A pantry provides extra storage, and a nearby door offers access to a covered deck that looks out to the back garden, the perfect spot for all-weather barbecuing. Located at the back of the house for privacy, the master suite juts out over the back garden.

It includes a walk-in closet and an ensuite with a double sink. A soaker tub, as well as a shower stall, adds a touch of spa-like luxury. The second bedroom features a built-in desk. It is served by a three-piece bathroom across the landing. A broom closet and linen cupboard complete this ďŹ&#x201A;oor. The plans also feature a roomy double garage. This home measures 40 feet wide by 48 feet deep, for a total of 1,399 square feet. Plans for design 2-2-728 are available for $567 (set of 5), $636 (set of 8) and $675 for a super set of 10.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising. On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you? 54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.
