Mill inspections ordered after second explosion Tom Fletcher Black Press WorkSafeBC has ordered inspections of all B.C. sawmills after a second catastrophic explosion in four months has put the focus on the hazards of processing dry beetle-killed logs in B.C. Interior sawmills. Labour Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the order went out Tuesday morning, as firefighters were still dealing with the fire following Monday evening’s mill explosion and fire in Prince George. “There is a common factor here, and we’re all aware of it, and it’s sawdust,” MacDiarmid said. “So although we don’t know what caused
the initial fires or explosions, we know that sawdust may be a factor.” MacDiarmid said WorkSafeBC does not have a specific policy for dust control in mills. A meeting is being convened Wednesday with government, WorkSafeBC, industry and union representatives to determine their next steps. The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed one of 25 mill employees on site died after an explosion rocked the Lakeland Mills sawmill in Prince George Monday evening. The explosion and fire occurred suddenly on night shift, similar to the Jan. 20 explosion at the Babine Forest Products mill in Burns Lake that killed two workers and destroyed the mill.
Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson called for an investigation of hazards for all B.C. mills that process dry logs from the mountain pine beetle infestation. He said mills have already added saw guards and nets to protect employees from logs that break apart when they hit a saw blade. Simpson said there are anecdotal reports of combustion of fine dust and volatile powdered resin from the wood, much of which has been dead standing for several years. He cautioned that there is no indication yet what caused either fire, but fibreboard mills deal with a similar dust hazard. “What I would say is that the

WorkSafeBC investigation that’s finished in Burns Lake, if they can tell us anything about whether or not this is a possibility, all of our sawmills in the mountain pine beetle area must be given that heads-up and must look at changes in their system to deal with it,” Simpson said. The Lakeland mill’s primary products are premium grade, precision end-trimmed kiln dried 2x4 studs, as well as 2x6 and 2x3 studs, and 1x3 and 1x4 board stock. Byproducts include wood chips and hog fuel. Lakeland has two partnerships to supply bioenergy fibre for the Prince George District Energy System and the University of Northern B.C. gasification system.

Search begins for municipal auditor Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has appointed a committee to select and oversee its new auditor general for local government, and the minister responsible says controversy over the move seems to have subsided. Community, Sport and Culture Minister Ida Chong said criticism of the move last year was a result of “confusion”
about how the new auditor would operate. “It’s not about finding fault, not about imposing new rules,” Chong said as she introduced the audit committee members. “It’s about helping to find efficiencies.” Chong said local government representatives have seen the enabling legislation and now understand that auditor will be independent of the B.C. government and its

recommendations will not be binding. While some municipal leaders were suspicious, one of the early advocates of the new office was Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. He said he learned the value of performance audits before entering politics, when he ran three tire stores that are part of a national chain of 300 outlets.
Auditors were able to answer questions such as “why were my fleet costs in Langford so much higher than what it was in West Kelowna?” Leonard said. The audit committee is chaired by Anthony Ariganello, president of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. Other members are Rick Heney, a Kamloops
lawyer; Donalda MacDonald, a vice-president of Westminster Savings Credit Union; Lisa Payne, chief operating officer for software maker Colligo Networks; and Tim Wood, former municipal administrator for Saanich, Penticton and Cranbrook. The committee’s first task is to advertise the position and hire a local government auditor.

First Nations consultation funding sought The Cariboo Regional District will resubmit a resolution originally proposed to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) in 2009. The resolution dealt specifically with funding for First Nations consultation, as the process can be expensive and time consuming for both First Nations and local governments. If successful, this funding would be used to help offset costs of this consultation process. Area F special projects authorized The Cariboo Regional District authorized up to $800 from the Area F Special Initiative Fund to support the Cedar Point Park 50th Anniversary. The funds will be used to purchase banners that hang for the entire season commemorating the milestone. Anniversary celebrations will be held on July 21 at the park.

AN APPLE A DAY... Allergies to medications can be a serious issue. The symptoms for an allergy to penicillin-like drugs can range from a mild rash to very severe breathing problems. If you have a known drug allergy, make sure you tell your pharmacist and doctor. Many people see doctors in a walk-in clinic or hospital setting so it’s important to share your allergy information with them. Some people use transdermal patches on the skin as a drug delivery system. There are patches for estrogen, pain drugs and nicotine replacement for quitting smoking. There is some evidence that exposing these patches to heat can release more drug into the body causing side effects. If you use these medication patches, use caution with electric blankets, hot tubs, saunas, heat lamps or hot water bottles. Losing weight has many advantages. It could help people who “leak” urine. Urinary incontinence can be embarrassing and cause emotional stress. Losing weight just might help this situation.

Logan Giesbrecht is spreading the word about McHappy Day, May 2. Monica Lamb-Yorski photo
on May 2 — McHappy Day — it is organizing a run/walk, selling balloons, and inviting dignitaries to work alongside staff at lunch and dinner times. “We decided to take it up a notch this year,” says Logan Giesbrecht, who along with fellow employee Krystal Evans, are co-ordinating the day. The restaurant’s newest owners, Jim and Maureen Knowles, have settled in and decided it was time to make the day more of a celebration, Giesbrecht explains. Things kick off with the run/walk at 7:15 a.m., starting at McDonalds and south along Broadway Avenue and back for a total of 5 kilomtres. The cost or suggested donation is $5 for an adult, $3 for a child or $10 for a family, and includes a free Egg McMuffin upon comple-
tion or attempt. Giesbrecht notes the Red Ronald McDonald shoes are being sold now for $2 each. Patrons sign the shoes and they go up on the wall inside the restaurant. Balloons, he adds, will be sold by donation on McHappy Day. “So far we’ve invited the mayor, city councillors, the RCMP staff sergeant, fire chief, numerous real estate agents

and others to help out that day serving food, accepting payment and cleaning tables.” All proceeds from the day will go toward the purchase of a pediatric scope for the Cariboo Memorial Hospital, so Giesbrecht encourages everyone to come out. “It’ll be fun and a chance to have your lunch or dinner served to you by the city elders and big wigs,” he says.

Happy Returns S
pring is the season of happy returns — robins, crocuses and sunshine. And me! I am so happy to be back writing my column. Where have I been all these months? Writing a magazine on container gardening for Harris Publications. It will be hitting the stands over the next few weeks and will stay there until late August … so if you’re interested in growing stuff in containers check it out. The magazine is called (big surprise) Container Gardens! Right now my house looks like The Attack of the Container Gardens. I have pots upon pots and flats upon flats of green growing things stuffed into every corner. Plants are piled beneath grow lights and crammed onto windowsills. The place looks like a grow-op, but sadly, without the profit. Not that you can’t save money growing your own groceries. If you buy a $2 packet of mesclun mix and toss the seed into two or three containers you have yourself a

summer’s worth of salad. The greens can be cut and will grow back again easily filling one of those plastic grocery packages of expensive gourmet greens a dozen times over. Even if you deduct the cost of your soil you still could save yourself $100. Herbs are another money saver. A little packet of fresh basil in the grocery store costs as much as an entire plant in a pot. One pot of basil will provide you with enough cuttings to equal at least 10 grocery sized packets. Ka-ching! As well as lots of containers and a flower garden I also plant two vegetable plots that take up just over 5,000 square feet. With all that space it’s easy to feel like I’m

sowing those little carrot seeds again and happier than a … well, a girl in a garden. Speaking of carrots and gold, did you hear the story about Lena Paahlsson from Sweden? Back in 1995 she removed her 24-karat gold wedding ring and set it to the side while doing some Christmas baking and cooking with her daughters. When they finished her ring was gone. They looked everywhere but to no avail. Then, just a few months ago, Lena pulled some carrots from her garden and found her wedding band wrapped around the shoulders of a small carrot. In fact, the carrot was so small Lena was about to discard it before catching a glint of gold and pausing for a closer look. Sixteen years after losing her ring a carrot brought it back to her none the worse for wear. Lena and her husband Ola figure the ring must have somehow fell into the kitchen sink full of vegetable peelings and from there it was either dumped in the compost
pile or fed to the sheep before ending up in the garden. So there you go. Sometimes a garden pays you back in carrot gold and other times in karat gold. Either way, it’s happy returns. And when it’s all said and done it is happiness and love — not monetary value — that matters. As the commercial goes, seeds … $3. A hoe … $30. A homegrown carrot … priceless! Of course the commercial is for an establishment that rakes in billions of dollars a year on so-called priceless dreams, but you get the gist. Do you have a story about finding something unusual in your garden? Would you be willing to share it? If so, send it by e-mail to contact@shannonmckinnon.com and I will do my best to include your story in this column or post in on my website in the weeks to come.

swimming in carrot gold. And I plant a lot of carrots. They’re a favourite wintertime staple so a large portion of our garden is devoted to this root crop. Are you thinking Ka-ching? Er, not so much. Last summer I spotted 50 pound bags of carrots being sold at a farmer’s market for 20 bucks. Sown, watered, weeded, thinned, harvested, washed and bagged all for a measly pair of $10 bills! I almost cried. What a reality check. A day’s work at minimum wage would buy all the carrots I spend my summers coaxing into harvest. Instead of going around in a constant state of windblown dishevelment with soil stains etched into my knees and sun cracked hands I could be sipping noontime lattes and treating myself to a manicure. I thought about that for a while before realizing I like the wind in my hair and the feel of soil in my hands, so there you have it. Soon I will be crawling about in the garden

Immunizations protect your world When people think about immunizations they often think of children; however, immunization is an important part of staying healthy for people of all ages. April 21 to 28 is National Immunization Awareness Week, and this year, Interior Health would like to remind you that immunizations help protect your world. “Immunization doesn’t just protect you — it protects those around you,� says Dr. Rob Parker, med-
ical health officer with Interior Health. “When most people are vaccinated for a disease it makes it harder for that disease to spread from person to person. Recent outbreaks of whooping cough (pertussis) and measles are close-to-home reminders of the important role immunization plays in protecting the health of ourselves, our children and our communities.� High immunization rates help protect people
who do not have adequate immunity or cannot be vaccinated due to a medical condition. When people stop immunizing, diseases come back and that becomes especially risky for those who may be more vulnerable like young children, seniors and people with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems. B.C. has one of the most comprehensive immunization programs in
Canada. Recent additions of rotavirus vaccine, a varicella (chickenpox) booster, hepatitis A vaccine for Aboriginal children and the expansion of the HPV vaccine program to include young adult women mean now even more diseases are easily preventable through immunization. “Vaccinations are safe and effective and they help save lives,� Parker says. “In order for vaccines to be most effective
PUBLIC NOTICE WATER MAIN FLUSHING
they need to be kept up to date. Many childhood vaccines require booster shots and the timing of adult vaccinations will often depend on medical conditions, travel plans, or lifestyle and occupational issues that may put people at risk for certain diseases.� For more information on immunizations, including a list of recommended vaccines for various age groups all your local public health centre.
The City of Williams Lake Water Division will be cleaning and flushing reservoirs and water mains starting May 7th, 2012 for approximately a four week period. The areas that will be affected are: All homes north of Western Avenue, Midnight Drive north from Moxon Place, Moon Avenue, north ends of Smith Street and Pigeon Avenue, north 4th, Haddock and Boitanio Streets, Hubble and Toop Road area to Centennial Drive. As residents may experience a slight discolouration of their tap water, running a tap for a short period of time will clear this up. All inquiries can be directed to the City of Williams Lake Water and Waste Division at 392-1785. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Have you ever given thought to how the world would look if it was at peace; if there were no wars or famine; no strife or hatred; no selfishness? A pipe dream you say? No way is this possible! Since the beginning of time man has destroyed the peace with greed, personal ambition, pride and envy. The Bible in Isaiah 48: 17-18 states: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your wellbeing like the waves of the sea. God had so much good in store for us, if only we had listened to His instructions. Is it too late to start to listen? Can peace be restored to this world? Will God still pour out His blessings on us? These are questions that are well worth contemplating. God directs us in the way we should go, the instruction book is available to all. Yet so few people take the time to read the Bible, and even fewer take the words to heart. How sad that the
PARSONS PEN
BY Captain Claudine CHURCH is viewed by many as a place to be avoided. Christians are seen as hypocritical, saying one thing and doing another. Peace seems a farfetched ideal even among Christians. “Love your neighbour as yourself� is the commandment found in Mark 21:31. Yet fights, backbiting, and jealousy rear their ugly heads even among devoted believers. There seems little difference between those who attend church and those that do not. Matthew 5:9 states;‘Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God’. The theologian John Wesley
described the peace makers as those people ‘ that out of love to God and man do all possible good to all men’. Blessed are the peacemakers! Barnes described the peacemakers as ‘those who strive to prevent contention, strife, and war; who use their influence to reconcile opposing parties, and to prevent lawsuits and hostilities in families and neighborhoods.’ If more and more people turn to God’s instruction manual, if they read the words and put them into practice, the world could truly become a place of peace. If each one of us did our part, peace would spread. I encourage you to take the Bible off the shelf, blow off the dust and open the cover. Beyond the cover are the words that bring life and hope to a dying and hurting world. God’s word taken to heart and put into practice truly does bring peace.

Imagining an NDP government N
DP victories in two byelections bring the standings in the legislature to 46 B.C. Liberals, 36 NDP and three independents, one of whom has pledged allegiance to the B.C. Conservatives. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins put a brave face on his third-place finish in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope. Even in bedrock conservative Fraser Valley farm country, in a protest byelection with a high-profile candidate, the B.C. Conservatives managed to attract just enough to deliver a landmark NDP seat. The NDP was helped by the absence of the B.C. Green Party on the byelection ballots, with most of its five-per-cent support from 2009 presumably going to the winners. Cummins said his party’s goal going into the Port Moody-Coquitlam vote, with an unknown candidate and a handful of volunteers, was to break 10 per cent. They got 15 per cent and he declared a moral victory. Cummins rejected a possible merger with the “discredited” B.C. Liberals. Premier Christy Clark was equally emphatic that she will be the leader of the “free enterprise coalition” in the 2013 election. So the stage is set for an NDP majority government. What will that look like? Well, Port Moody mayorturned-MLA Joe Trasolini
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
has a wealth of local government experience, so pencil him in as municipal affairs minister. A long-time supporter of the B.C. Liberals, Trasolini should clarify if he endorses the NDP constitution, which still opposes all profit-making activity. He’s not the only highprofile newcomer likely to be included in an Adrian Dix cabinet. New NDP candidates from union executive ranks will likely include long-time Hospital Employees’ Union president Judy Darcy. She no longer talks about bringing a “Marxist analysis” to economic matters. Darcy is now best known for leading the long court battle against the B.C. Liberal government’s contract-breaking legislation of 2002. The eventual decision of the Supreme Court of Canada basically invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining. (The high court could also ponder if there might be a right not to belong to a union, but that’s
another story.) Then there’s George Heyman, the long-time B.C. Government Employees’ Union president. After leaving the BCGEU, Heyman has taken a turn as executive director of Sierra Club B.C., a branch plant of the U.S. enviro-machine that works against B.C. forest, mining, power and petroleum development. These folks would be working with Stephen Howard, who went from senior positions at the BCGEU and
CUPE to his current role as Dix’s chief of staff. Dix, of course, benefited from the sudden ouster of Carole James, who made the mistake of trying to loosen big labour’s grip on the NDP and modernize some of its quaint 1930s notions. Then we have B.C.’s thirdlargest political party, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the B.C. Liberals with the NDP next year.
Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” • Correction: Last week’s column referred to the
1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing. That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated. Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

Teachers to halt after-school activities Grace Baptist Jeff Nagel Black Press Public school teachers have voted 73 per cent in favour of withdrawing extracurricular activities province-wide to intensify pressure on the provincial government in the continuing labour dispute. The vote of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) could affect everything from high school graduation ceremonies to upcoming sports events. Meanwhile, a decision of B.C.’s Labour Relations Board has ordered unionized teachers to prepare second-term report cards immediately, something some had resisted as part of job action. The ruling gives teachers until April 27 to have them ready. Public school teachers walked out for three days in March before the provincial government passed Bill 22, legislating them back to work with a six-month cooling off period. A total of 21,625 teachers voted to ban volunteer work, while 7,846 voted no. BCTF
president Susan Lambert said cancelling extracurricular activities was a wrenching choice. “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” she said. “We know this will mean the loss of some highly valued activities, and we sincerely regret that. But we have to look at the bigger picture and the longer term.” The decision is expected to pit teachers who still want to coach teams and run student clubs in defiance of the BCTF decision against more militant teachers who will be able to ask their union locals to take disciplinary action. Education Minister George Abbott told reporters the BCTF vote to ban extracurricular activities will divide teachers, punish students and leave parents overseeing functions like grad ceremonies. “It’s their personal decision,” Abbott said. “And I don’t believe it’s appropriate for the BCTF to be trying to interfere in that.”
Abbott also defended his choice of a mediator in the dispute, Dr. Charles Jago, who the BCTF alleges is biased. If talks with the BCTF fail to reach a mediated settlement, the government would likely legislate a two-year contract,
ending June 30, 2013. Abbott said he can’t guarantee that the dispute won’t disrupt the start of the school year next fall. The action plan approved by the BCTF membership also calls for a public awareness
Church
campaign to mobilize public opposition to Bill 22, a possible future vote on a full withdrawal of services and work in advance of the May 2013 election “to bring in a new government” that will repeal the legislation.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase. PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The Commission is initiating a review of FortisBC Energy Utilities’ Application.

Registered nurse Colleen Crossley has been involved in the Studio Theatre for many years now, but never before this year has she directed a play. “It was on my bucket list,” says Crossley who is directing Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart, a dark comedy that starts its two-week run next week and will also be the Studio Theatre’s entry in the Central Interior Zone Drama Festival taking place in the lakecity later in May. Set in the early 1970s in an old Mississippi family home, the play brings three sisters, with three very different lives, together as their grandfather is dying. “With some good old fashioned family dynamics, the sisters laugh and cry together as they rediscover each other and their true strength as a family,” Crossley says. “The underlying themes of domestic violence and abuse are balanced with the naturally funny things that occur in the relationships they share. “The play opens with the youngest sister Babe (Kalysta Szauer) having just shot her husband because she ‘didn’t like his looks.’” Middle sister Meg (Kathy MacDonald) comes home to find everything the same and everything different. The oldest and long-

Symposium inspires commitment for change Chris Blake (right) explains the work of the Quesnel River Watershed Alliance to save the endangered mountain caribou living in the Quesnel Highlands and Cariboo Mountains east of Williams Lake to area resident Keely Graham, during the community sustainability forum held at Thompson Rivers University Saturday. Encroachment by heli-skiing, logging, wolves, and recreational uses such as snowmobiling have all had negative impacts on the mountain caribou populations. Gaeil Farrar photo
Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer About a dozen community groups set up displays for the Awakening the Dreamer: Changing the Dream Symposium and afternoon Community Sustainability Forum held Saturday at Thompson Rivers University. There was a large turnout for the morning session with interactive video presentations on the environmental and social circumstances of the world today and what is needed to bring the Earth back into a sustainable state for all living things. But unfortunately the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, there was a rodeo on and it seemed that many of those from the regular public drifted off elsewhere. Those who did stay, however, were treated to some interesting displays about what various groups in the region and beyond are doing to encourage people to live a little lighter on the planet. After the morning session participants were given a little card to sign, if they felt so inclined, which reinforced their commit-
ment to work toward change: “I am committed to bringing forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on this planet as the guiding principle of our times.” Recognizing there are already thousands of groups working to create a better world, the presenters encouraged people to continue working for change with the organization of their choice. They also talked about the “power of one” in leaders such as Mother Theresa, Gandhi and Nelson Mandala to inspire change.

Spring Car Care 2012 Learn the proper way to rotate tires Rotating tires is something that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car’s performance. An important component of vehicle upkeep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving. There are some who are unfamiliar about how and when to rotate the tires and the benefits this routine maintenance can provide. This also could be a factor in why people procrastinate on tire rotation. One may not realize that the front tires often bear the brunt of the work in vehicle operation. Making turns or parallel parking requires the force of the front tires. Vehicles that are front-wheel-drive
have front tires that supply the main motive power for the vehicle, according to Edmunds. com. The frequent use and requirements of the tires produces friction on the road, and eventually heat. The front tires wear more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers must periodically rotate them. Tire rotation essen-
tires in a criss-cross pattern, it could affect the alignment and lead to a bumpy ride. These scenarios can depend on the vehicle and the tire, however. Certain vehicles have tires of different sizes in the rear and front, which prevents frontto-back rotation. There are also cars that have tires that are unidirectional, where they are specific to one side of the car and asymmetrical, with a tread pattern that changes from the inside of the tire to the outside. Though these tires are rare, you can’t rotate them at all. Tire rotation is adviseable to preserve balanced handling, traction and even outer tire wear. But how often should it be done? Many tires should be rotated every
tially means moving the front tires to the rear and vice-versa. This means the front passenger side tire will be moved to the back passenger side position. The same thing will occur on the driver’s side. There’s a reason for this. Tires have unique wear patterns that are related to the suspension and the alignment. Should you switch the
WINDSHIELD TIME
3,000 to 5,000 miles, even if they don’t show signs of wear. Some service stations will do tire rotation at the same time that oil changes are done because the car is already on a lift. Don’t expect tire rotation to correct wear problems due to worn mechanical parts or as the result of improper inflation pressure. Rotation is not the only tire maintenance task to do to ensure safe tires. Consult with a service station to determine the best pattern for rotating your tires and the ideal time interval between rotations.

Radiators are not immortal Granted, most recent cars and trucks require less maintenance than before. But, with time, they too age. Although the vehicle might still look very good, there are some components that do wear out and require replacement. And remember: it’s not necessarily ample mileage that wears out a car. Dirt and oxidation will also do their part of the damage.
Take the radiator, for instance. If you own an older car or truck, chances are its radiator will be partially made of copper. That copper will oxide with time and self destroy. The only way to know if yours is going that way is to run your finger along the thin fins running between the radiator tubes. If they crush very easily or, worse, crumble apart, it is definitely
time to have the radiator reconditioned. Mind you, a radiator does not have to leak to be shot. Weak fins will not disperse heat properly in summer weather and the engine will start to overheat. If you’re having the radiator replaced, while you’re at it have the whole cooling system checked, including hos-
es and clips and fasteners. Anything that might seem weak or worn out must be changed, no matter how much it costs. And if your mechanic tells you that it would also be a good idea to change the thermostat, do it! You don’t want to be stuck in traffic on a hot summer day when one of these parts fails.

Spring Car Care 2012
Weighing the options of oil changes The debate may continue as to whether a car still needs its oil changed every 3,000 miles or if motorists can extend that figure to more than 5,000 miles. In addition to how frequently oil needs to be changed, drivers also must decide where to go for an oil change. Customers have different choices when it comes to oil changes. Some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind getting a little messy and choose to change their oil right at home. There are also lube stations that specialize strictly in oil changes. Then there is the option of having the oil changed at a dealership service station. As with any decision, it helps to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a final decision. According to the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1975, routine service can be done anywhere and will not void your warranty. Regular warranty work only has to be done by the dealer. Unless a dealership can
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that damage was caused by a vehicle owner or a third-party lube station, then the warranty will remain valid. Dealership There are certain reasons a person may want to go to a dealership to have an oil change. It is typical of dealer service stations to train their mechanics in the specific design of the automobiles they are servicing. That means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have first-hand knowledge and be familiar with the design of the engine and the characteristics of the make and model of
the car better than anyone else. This can give drivers peace of mind that they are getting the right parts and that the service work is being done in accordance with their service warranty. Some dealerships also offer service plans that discount the cost of oil changes if done at the dealer service station. This service package might even be part of a finance deal, so the cost of the oil changes could already be paid for. The oil changes may be done in conjunction with other service work, including tire rotation. Third-party station
One of the main advantages to using a private lube-type company is that they are usually less expensive than services provided by a dealership. Quick lube stations typically have access to manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; data to ensure the correct type of oil and filter are used. Larger companies may have an extensive training program that goes over the latest technology and the models of cars. Another benefit to a lube station is that an appointment is not always necessary, which may not be the case with a dealership. With a number of service bays and substantial staff on hand, there also could be a shorter wait time, which is a boon to busy individuals. Self-service Doing an oil change at home is obviously the most cost-effective option. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most labor-intensive as well. You also will need to have specific tools for the job, as well as 5 to 6 quarts of motor oil on hand.
Choosing the right used car Spring is a good time to buy a used car or light truck because there are so many of them available on the market. Yet, it is also the time of the year when buyers have to be the most careful, because there are some shady deals to be had out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad thing to say, but there are people who will take advantage of buyers, especially by trying to sell vehicles that look great but are hiding some dangerous defects. Consequently, even if you think you have found the used vehicle of your dreams, be sure to have it checked thoroughly before spending any money. As a matter of fact, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty skilled at inspecting cars and trucks, it is better to have the ve-
hicle youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in completely inspected before making a deal. A competent mechanic (or a trusted friend who really knows about cars and trucks) will be able to approve or nix the vehicle in question. Also, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re car shopping, talk with knowledgeable people about the kind of car or truck youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true there are plenty of know-it-alls, but try to find a truly skilled person or a professional who will be able to tell you what kind of vehicle you need for your needs and abilities, such as a small car for city driving, a light truck for work, or a performance car or sports vehicle for fun. They will be able to guide you to a suitable make and brand. No matter what, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush into a deci-
sion. Take your time, do your research, and get the vehicle checked out. And even if you know
Jacking up the car to have access to the underside of the engine will be necessary so that you can reach the engine pan plug to drain the old oil. Wrenches as well as buckets to drain the oil are other tools to keep
on hand. Used motor oil is not something that can simply be tossed in the trash or poured down a drain. It must be carefully contained and recycled to avoid harming the environment. Because of the work

involved in an oil change at home, many people opt to have it done elsewhere. Remember, while there are many places that are qualified, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the driver to decide where to go.

Cariboo Idol auditions in 100 Mile House Gaeil Farrar Cariboo Idol season seven is on its way with some changes to place more focus on singersongwriter performers, says Robert Fry, who is organizing the contest. Cariboo Radio hosts Cariboo Idol as a way to promote vocally talented people living in the Cariboo, and raise funds for artists to entertain audiences at events in the region through summer and fall. Fry says the contest is steering away from kara-
oke singers this year unless the singing talent is too great to ignore. In the case of talented karaoke singers, Fry says the goal of the contest will be to have one of the other musicians in the contest play for the singers, rather than play karaoke music. Auditions will take place May 14 and 15 at the South Cariboo Recreation Centre in 100 Mile House from 6 to 9 p.m. both nights. Call backs will be on May 16 and 17 from 6 to 9 p.m. both nights.
The $10 cash entry fee is paid on audition day. Entrants younger than 18 years of age will require the signature of a parent or guardian before their first auditions, in the presence of a representative from South Cariboo Community Concerts or New Age Entertainment. Fry says he could also hold auditions in Williams Lake if event sponsors come forward in this area. While auditions may not be held in Williams Lake this year, Fry says the contest is open to the
entire Cariboo-Chilcotin. The 10 finalists will have the chance to be heard across the Cariboo and around the world on Caribooradio.com. They will be interviewed on air, in local newspapers and will have the chance to record their song(s) at the New Age Studio. “Cariboo Idol is about working together as a group and helping one another out to ensure solid performances when on stage, in the studio and in music videos that will be uploaded to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook,”
Fry says. “Most of all Cariboo Idol is about having fun doing what you love to do! So if you want to support your communities through song and team work, audition for Cariboo Idol 2012 and start making a difference in your community,” Fry says. All 10 finalists will be

Lake City Derby Girls roll Saturday Monica Lamb-Yorski There’ll be adrenalin rushing, bodies jamming, and quad roller skates flying when the Lake City Derby Girls host a bout this Saturday at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. In arena 1, the Williams Lake team will play against the Misfits of Mayhem from Silvan Lake, Alta. Spectators can expect “edge-of-the-seat type of thrills and spills,” team member Toni Healy (who goes by the track name of Tuesday) says. Healy joined the team two years ago and says she likes the camaraderie, and the game’s ability to work out frustrations. “It’s not like your ‘70s derby where the moves were kind of choreographed. You still had to be a good athlete in the ‘70s, but today the hits are real. They’re not choreographed.” In order to be on the team, women have to be at least 18. Protective gear in roller derby is a must, including the option of padded shorts that protect the tail bone. Watching films on old derby games always leaves Healy shaking her head in disbelief because the players are not wearing any protective gear.
Toni Healy Players from Kamloops and Prince George will be on loan for the game, because the local team’s numbers are down this season. It will be the first time the locals have played the Misfits of Mayhem. Healy says a bout runs about two hours and consist of a series of two-minute-jams. Groups of five players form a pack. One’s the jammer — the one who makes the points — and the other four are called blockers. There’s a head blocker, called the pivot. Fourteen or 15 girls switch up to participate in each jam. There are two packs on at once. The jammer goes through the pack of the two teams once, and when they come around the second time, that’s when they make the points. “Each opposing play-
er they pass gains them a point. The lead jammer can either stop the game now or keep going to make the points,” Healy explains. The players jump, weave in and out, it’s wonderful, Healy says. “If a girl falls in front of you, sometimes you’ve gotta jump to get out of the way so you’re not falling on top of her.” Saturday evening’s bout will consist of a
half-time show featuring local belly dancers and tribal dancers and a game, yet to be determined. In order to play roller derby players have to become patched, which means enduring a two-hour physical skills exam. Last time the team hosted a bout upwards of 600 people attended the game and Healy is hoping there’ll be a large crowd again. After all, since the last time, people have been
asking when the next bout is going to happen. Doors open at 6 p.m. Whistle blows at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance at Cariboo GM, the Overlander Pub or the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, or $14 at the door. Kids 12 and under may attend for free. Ticket stubs should be kept, because they will be needed to attend the after party at the Overlander Pub, Healy adds.

Exotic menu for Likely game banquet Peggy Zorn Special to the Tribune The Likely Community Hall was filled to capacity April 21 for the second annual wild game banquet fundraiser hosted by the Likely Archery Rod and Gun Club. It was a fun-filled event with guests attending from as far away as Yellowknife, NWT, Penticton, Williams Lake, Big Lake, Horsefly and Likely. Kicking off with “Happy Hour” at 5 p.m. followed by a superb dinner that offered a wide variety of wild game dishes to try including elk, deer, lynx, beaver, black bear, moose, salmon and trout, there was an unlimited supply of food. The evening got under way with a welcome from club president Gary Zorn. Keynote speaker Jeff Hewitt from the Conservation Officer Service provided insights into how the CO service is establishing new co-operative re-
lationships with communities and how they are working to grow those relationships. He touched on how conservation of our backcountry and wildlife is the responsibility of all of us. Marie Hampton, lady trapper and longtime resident of Likely, gave a wildlife presentation related to her trapping background. The event was also graced with the presence of a celebrity from the television reality series Ice Road Truckers — Alex Dovbrovsky. Dovbrovsky is also the author of a book by the same name. He told some humorous stories and won the trophies for the best fish tale and best outdoor story. There were also contests for the best birdcall won by Karen Morriss and best wildlife call won by Joe Morhart of Horsefly. The Toonie toss drew a good crowd with the ladies’ only being won by Allyson McDonald and the all participants
in the Toonie toss being won by Dominique Dovbrovsky. The major draw for the raffle prizes was the last event of the evening. Winners were Mike Hill of Likely — Weatherby 300 Winchester Short Mag; Joe Morhart from Horsefly — 20 gauge Mossberg pump shotgun; Shane Smith from Big Lake — Archery Set; and Troy Rolston of Likely — fly-fishing outfit. It was a wonderful evening of great food, fun, and laughter for all who attended. The club is sincerely grateful for all the wonderful support from all the donor businesses and organizations. The event was a resounding success and the club wishes to extend appreciation and thanks to all who attended the event and participated to make it a grand evening of fun. The club also extends special appreciation to everyone who donated wild game dishes and

Incorporated as a society in 1988 the Club undertook to secure property for a gun range in the Likely area. Plans were laid for the range to hold a 100, 200 and 1000 metre rifle ranges as well as pistol range, archery range and clubhouse. It was a huge undertaking for a fledgling club, but they proceeded to begin fund raising for development with a number of well attended shooting events including their highly successful black powder events organized by Keith Ulrich.
The procedure with Crown lands to secure the land for the range was initiated, but never completed. The club went into a dormant state and was finally reactivated through an exploratory meeting in early 2009. An executive was elected and they started to work toward the original goal of establishing the gun range on the originally chosen piece of property. Again, the paper work with Crown lands was challenging, but with diligence and determination it move ahead to start development. After a late, wet spring in 2011 the work on the range got under way with a very generous donation of equipment from Mount Polley Min-
ing Corporation to do the required work to ensure the berms and range lanes met the requirements of the Fire Arms Marshall and RCMP inspectors. Mount Polley continues to be very supportive of the club as the club looks toward a mid to late summer opening of the gun range. Other events for the upcoming year are in various stages of planning, including another CORE instruction program, assistance with the Likely Victoria Day parade, summer fishing event and more. At the annual general meeting held on the afternoon of April 21 a number of club members came out to hear of the successes of 2011 and the plans
for 2012. Elections were held for new members to the board of directors. Returning directors and officers include Gary Zorn, president; Alf Juthans, vice president; and directors Marvin Doney, Alfred Hillary, Terry Borkowski and Walter Krueger. Newly elected directors are Bill Best, Courtney McMillan, and Marie Hampton who will hold the position of secretary/treasurer. There was a members-only draw for a 22-calibre rifle, which was won by Peggy Zorn. New members are always welcome. There are really great benefits in belonging to the Likely Archery Rod and Gun Club including affiliated
membership in the BC Wildlife Federation, educational development and communityand family-oriented events. For membership details contact the club at largclub@gmail. com or phone Marie Hampton at 250-7902335 or Gary Zorn at 250-790-2292.

If too much debt has slowed your cash flow to a trickle, consider a better plan - resolve to clear that debt and start building wealth. By using your home equity to consolidate your debt, you can boost monthly cash flow, have one easy payment, be mortgage-free quicker, and potentially save thousands of dollars in interest. Make this the start of a new financial life. I’d love to help you crunch some numbers to see what kind of life you could be living!
It’s worth a call!

CASUAL CHARM TWO-STOREY Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like gables and a covered porch to lend a home an aura of casual charm â&#x20AC;&#x201D;so in step with the lifestyle of contemporary families â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and this design has both. Beyond the entry, up a step and under a covered porch, is a compact foyer, with a handy coat cupboard near the U-shaped stairway. To the left of the foyer is a den, which could easily double as a guest room, thanks to a closet with sliding doors. The formal dining room, to the right of the foyer, boasts a built-in buffet as well as partly mullioned windows that overlook a small porch. The kitchen, conveniently located between the dining room and great room, is designed for efďŹ ciency as well as comfort, with a U-shaped counter conďŹ guration, a pantry and a raised eating bar. The great room extends into the back garden, breaking out of the box. With a ďŹ replace for warmth during the cooler months, and french doors that open onto a covered terrace to make serving alfresco meals a breeze, this will be a room for all seasons. Opposite the kitchen, the laundry room enjoys access to the back garden via a covered entry, and also contains a coat cupboard, perfect for in- and off-season gear. Adjacent is a lavatory with a shower stall, as well as a storage area and broom closet. Upstairs, the spacious master suite overlooks the back garden for peace and privacy. It features a generous walk-in closet and an ensuite with double basins and a shower stall. The soaker tub adds a touch of spa-like luxury.
The second and third bedrooms are separated by closets, reducing noise transmission, and share a three-piece bathroom. Bedroom No. 3 features a bay window. Nearby is the linen closet. Exterior ďŹ nishes include vertical board-and-batten siding in the gables, with horizontal wood siding below. Painted wooden pilasters are set on cut-stone bases, and a window-box is tucked beneath the den window. White-painted trim completes the picture. This home features nine-foot ceilings throughout, and measures 30 feet wide and 59 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 2,275 square feet. An unďŹ nished basement is included with the plans. Plans for design 7-3-933 are available for $746 (set of 5), $835 (set of 8) and $890 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our 44TH Edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).
