BCGEU strike not likely the last Tom Fletcher Black Press Provincial government employees staged their largest one-day strike so far Wednesday to press for a bigger wage increase, with two thirds of the workforce off the job at ministry offices, liquor stores and ICBC offices province-wide. Both the government and the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union remained unwilling to budge from their positions after negotiations broke down over wage increases this spring. The union executive is meeting next week to consider further strike

action this fall. Two earlier one-day strikes targeted liquor warehouses and then selected resource ministry offices in the B.C. Interior. Government negotiators offered raises of two and 1.5 per cent for the next two years, then withdrew the offer after the union staged the first strike. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said Wednesday the wage offer has been tabled and withdrawn three times since talks began early this year, a tactic he called “peek-a-boo bargaining.” See UNION, Page A2

Union sticks to demands Continued from A1 And after three years without a wage increase, he said the union is sticking to its demand for 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost-ofliving raise of about 2.5 per cent in year two. “They want us to reduce our real income over this contract, and we’ve already taken a five-per-cent hit,” Vipond said in an interview. “So to try and chisel us again with

a skinny deal doesn’t make sense to us. We want to at least keep up with inflation and gain a little of what we have lost.” Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet lineup in Victoria Wednesday as BCGEU pickets circled government offices downtown. Both Clark and Mike de Jong, the new finance minister, said they have no intention of increasing the burden on tax-

payers to provide bigger raises to provincial workers. “The government’s position on this hasn’t changed,” Clark said. “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The government estimates that the wage offer adds up to $1,700

more over two years for a BCGEU employee making $48,000 a year.

Ringworm temporarily closes SPCA The BC SPCA’s Williams Lake Branch has temporarily closed the cat and small animal areas of the shelter to the public as staff treat animals infected by ringworm. The shelter is still open for dog adoptions, but cannot accept or adopt out cats, kittens or small animals at this time. “Unfortunately cases of ringworm are inevitable, and when diseases occur in the community they are brought into the shelter through abandoned and surrendered animals,” says Dr. James Lawson, chief animal health officer for the BC SPCA. “It is especially challenging for shelters at this time of year because we receive so many abandoned and surrendered kittens, who are particularly susceptible to ringworm.” Lawson said the affected animals are being treated at the Williams Lake SPCA and the

Young drivers Elias Billy, 4, and Liam Billy, 2, of Williams Lake enjoy a ride on the KC Raceway at the Pacific National Expo (PNE) recently. Photo submitted

shelter hopes to fully reopen soon. “We’ll reopen the other sections as quickly as possible, but it is important that we take every precaution to ensure other animals are not exposed.” Lawson reminds the public that spaying and neutering is an essential part of pet guardianship. “The BC SPCA takes in more than 6,000 abandoned or unwanted kittens during the summer and this wave of kittens creates many challenges, as we are seeing with these incidents of ringworm,” he says. “We urge people to do their part to keep animal populations under control in their communities.” The changes at the shelter will not affect the Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk happening this Sunday, Sept. 9 at 11 a.m. at Boitanio Park, Williams Lake.

rainbow over springhouse airfield Legend has it that if you dig at the end of rainbow, you’ll find a pot of gold. Looking at this spectacular rainbow over the lake near Springhouse subdivision which appeared after a heavy rain and hailstorm last Thursday, you’d think finding either end (and the gold) would be easy. Not so, as every experienced rainbow chaser knows, the nearer to the end you appear to be getting, the farther away it goes. Liz Twan photo

AN APPLE A DAY... The most serious of all female cancers is ovarian cancer. Over 2600 Canadian women are diagnosed every year and 1750 succumb to this disease. There is no screening test to detect this cancer but when found early and treated, the survival rate is 90%. If you have any abdominal symptoms that last for more than three weeks, see your doctor.

Many people tend to take vaccines for granted but they do save lives. The number of children saved from dying of measles during the past decade was over 9,500,000 worldwide. This represents a 74% drop in measles deaths. Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria found in food products like yogurt and also available in capsules. Diarrhea is a side effect of many regular antibiotics. By taking probiotic supplements during antibiotic therapy, diarrhea can often be prevented. It is best to take the probiotic dose 2-4 hours after the antibiotic dose. Head lice often become a problem in children at this time of year. Some of the older lice treatments are not as effective anymore. Nyda is a spray solution that can be used in children over the age of two and is effective against the lice as well as eliminating the nits (eggs). Our pharmacists can advise you about this product.

The last shots of summer B

efore the start of school, to celebrate the perfection of the day, we went a-ridin’, my son and his friend, in our Jeep, doors and top off. In the back seat, the boys had their water guns at the ready. We drove all over the Lower Mainland, it seemed, and the boys had great fun “shooting” passing cars (and anything they could hit with the water). I asked them a few times to stop in case we offended anyone — my mind was going to

the stories of highway shootings that seem to occur without much provocation. I was a bit worried — what if we ran in to someone who didn’t appreciate the im-

promptu shower, in spite of the warm day. As we approached the Lions Gate bridge (two lanes each way, rush hour traffic), the boys kept popping up from the back seat, spraying cars with the water guns. I again warned them to stop. As we started onto the bridge, a shiny red Camaro came alongside us. A single, rather wetlooking and unsmiling young fellow was driving, T-roof open. Sure enough, it had been too much for the kids to resist.

The boys had doused the driver and car interior with skilled precision. I looked over at the Camero with a tentative smile and I was just in time to see the man reach slowly down to the right in his seat. I bellowed (literally, I think) at the kids to stop shooting the guns, now!The driver of the other car sat up, turned and took aim at us. He had the biggest super water shooter I had ever seen and completely soaked us in seconds. I almost drove into the other lane laughing

at the odds of him having such a perfect device to retaliate … OK, OK, I did my mommy thing and told to the boys that it might have been someone without such a good sense of humour and blah, blah, blah. However, I couldn’t help but enjoy the unexpected surprise and relief I’d just experienced — and how very grateful I was it had been so.

Lekstrom, two more B.C. Liberals retire Tom Fletcher Black Press Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has added his name to the list of retiring B.C. Liberal MLAs. Lekstrom announced late Tuesday he won’t run in next May’s provincial election. He said in a statement he is leaving “to pursue other opportunities in life” after 12 years as Peace River South MLA and

as mayor of Dawson Creek. Lekstrom quit the cabinet and the B.C. Liberal caucus in June 2010, after voting with the government to implement the harmonized sales tax. He rejoined the caucus last year and was appointed to the transportation job by Premier Christy Clark. Earlier Tuesday, B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman confirmed his intention to

run in the 2013 election, as the party announced two more MLAs are retiring. West VancouverSea to Sky MLA Joan McIntyre and Richmond Centre MLA Rob Howard announced their retirement in separate statements Tuesday morning. McIntyre was first elected in 2005 and Howard in 2009. The changes came as Clark prepared to shuffle her cabinet,

promoting MLAs who are running again. Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon resigned as finance minister last week, joined by Education Minister George Abbott, Children and Family Development Minister Mary McNeil and Chilliwack MLA John Les in announcing they won’t seek reelection. Other B.C. Liberals who have announced they are retiring are

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark moved cabinet veteran Mike de Jong to the key finance job vacated last week by Kevin Falcon, and promoted two newcomers to cabinet in a major shuffle Wednesday. Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick is B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new agriculture minister, and West Vancouver-Capilano

MLA Ralph Sultan made it to cabinet at age 79, as minister of state for seniors. Comox Valley MLA Don McRae, a former high school teacher, takes over for the retiring George Abbott as education minister. And Vancouver-Fairview MLA Margaret MacDiarmid, a physician, replaces de Jong in the health portfolio. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett returns

to cabinet in a previous role, minister of community, sport and cultural development. Bennett was fired from cabinet in 2010 after harshly criticizing former premier Gordon Campbell. Returning to cabinet are Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwell, who ran for the B.C. Liberal leadership last year, and WestsideKelowna MLA Ben Stewart, who reprises

a previous role as citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; services minister. Stilwell takes over the social development job from Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux, who becomes children and family development minister. Clark stressed that the cabinet represents renewal, with nine members first elected in 2009, and stability with veterans such as Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman

continuing as energy and mines minister. NDP leader Adrian Dix countered that the shakeup shows instability. Cadieux is the fifth minister in the children and families role in recent years, he said, and Langley MLA Mary Polak becomes the 11th minister in charge of ICBC during the B.C. Liberal government. Polak moves to the transportation ministry vacated by Peace River

Looking back over the summer I am dumbfounded with all the media uproar over a comment made by Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-Fil-A. During the following two weeks there were widespread calls to both boycott Chick-Fil-A and support it with via patronage. Further, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sit ins,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;kiss ins,â&#x20AC;? pickets and protests swirled about in the media frenzy. The media circus added another ring when two politicians added their personal demonization of Dan Cathy as a businessman and an individual. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at Dan Cathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incendiary comment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very much in support of the family-the Biblical definition of the family unit.â&#x20AC;? Wow I am speechless! However, not for the reason you may suspect. Dan Cathy answered a question honestly. What an idiot! These days we all know that when asked a question that could potentially go against the grain of political correctness...YOU LIE! Dan Cathy gave his honest personal opinion. Unbelievable.Unconscionable.Who knew Dan Cathy was a Christian and ran his company with Christian values? The answer is, for all of us north of the boarder, everyone. All Chick-Fil-As are closed on Sunday. They choose to make less money, why? It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because they are backwoods NFL and NASCAR

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA fans. It turns out they are closed on Sundays to allow employees to go to church, be with their families, and observe the Sabbath. Cathy further added insult to injury stating God may know best how a family should operate. Can you believe a Christian would make such a ridiculous statement? Where will this end? Will Atheists start telling people there is no God? Will my credit card company tell me what I owe them? Will Apple store employees start making fun of Microsoft? If a Christian will honestly communicate orthodox Christian ideas, will honesty ever stop infecting our happy reality?

I applaud Dan Cathy, not simply because we hold to the same definition of a family, but because he chose to answer a question honestly. In a world of political correctness where the temptation is to be disingenuous or straight up lie, Dan Cathy clearly spoke his personal opinion on a hot button issue. When Dan was asked by a reporter about his views on the definition of marriage he made the above statement. Get the picture here. He was asked his â&#x20AC;&#x153;personal opinion,â&#x20AC;? not his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. There are no reports of Fick-Fil-A ever discriminating due to an employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual orientation. Dan Cathy is not known for his bigoted views in any sphere of life, personal or business. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realize one thing. Personal opinions are just that. Dan Cathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion on marriage does not make him a homophobe. Further, his views on marriage do not prevent his company from employing multitudes of people who may not agree with Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marriage definition, people who choose to live together and not marry or people who have had a number of divorces. But doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that make Dan Cathy at least intolerant? Surely we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow people to be intolerant in our society. Tune in next time...

Cops for Cancer Jail and Bail Wednesday Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer “It’s very much a community thing,” Williams Lake Safer Community co-ordinator Dave Dickson says of the annual Cops for Cancer Jail and Bail taking place Sept. 12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Spirit Square in Williams Lake. “Last year we had in excess of 20 people. Various businesses put their staff in jail and we raised over $20,000. Every penny goes to the children, and a chance to go to Camp Good Times if they would like to.” Registrations for the Jail and Bail continue to trickle in and are up to almost 20, Dickson says. “I have to follow up with some businesses that have said count us in. Next Monday we’ll be pushing hard.” There will also be a barbecue compliments

of M&M Meat Shop. “I can’t say enough about Uli and Tom at M&M Meats. They come to us you know. Last year at the 11th hour we had to find someone and we went to Uli and with no questions asked, immediately her and Tom were out and did an amazing event,” Dickson says, adding that New World Coffee and Tea House will supply the coffee in the morning. Triple P Sanitation will provide the outhouse facilities, and several other volunteers will be out lending a hand during the day. “Karen Grosso from Canadian Cancer Society takes the lead on collecting the money and doing the paper work,” he adds. Even if people cannot afford to pay for someone’s bail, there is an opportunity to make donations during the event. “A business may

come along and say ‘here’s $10 or $15.’ Times are tough out there and we totally respect that. We’re grateful for a penny. We don’t want to be forceful or anything.” He says he is thankful for the people who are contributing. Those in jail are usually accompanied by several others, and Dickson says there’s been as many as 10 to 13 people in there at once. “The general manager of Heartland Toyota was put in custody, and for his bail he had to raise x amount of dollars. When he got out he said he’d put $100 for everyone that was in jail, plus what he’d just raised.” Two days after the Jail and Bail, Dickson, along with Williams Lake RCMP Const. Chris Ives, will depart from Prince George to Prince Rupert for the Cops for Cancer ride. Since the beginning

of May, Dickson has cycled more than 2,400 kilometres to prepare for the ride. Chuckling, he says his co-worker has done almost the same. “He’s much younger than I am, so I have to be in better shape than him because I’m a senior.” The riders will be launched from a school on the north side in Prince George to travel west. “We leave Vanderhoof on Saturday morning and ride to Fort St. James and have lunch. The second day is a 175-km ride. Last year our longest was 193 km and we rode from Mackenzie to Prince George. We averaged 27.5 km an hour moving speed.” It’s a fun thing, Dickson says of the ride. He estimates there will be around 26 riders; a few have had to bow out because of health complications or duty obligations.

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

You is important

just finished reading Kathryn Stockett’s novel The Help. It came out three years ago so I’m a little late. In fact, it has already been made into a movie starring Emma Stone, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, which I haven’t yet seen. The book gives a telling account of life as an African American maid in Jackson, Mississippi during the 60s. It is always gut wrenching to read about the horrible things humans have done to one another out of ignorance, fear and blind acceptance of so called social norms. It makes you wonder what the hell is wrong with us. And yet it is also uplifting to read about the flipside of humanity and our equal capacity for braveness, love and compassion. Whenever I finish a really well written book there are bits and pieces that flap along with me long after the book is gathering dust. They ride along like sticky notes stuck to my temple. In this case it’s the words, “You is kind, you is smart, you is important.” These were the words Aibileen spoke over Mae Mobley, the little white girl she cared for. They were delivered daily as a sort of soul balm to make up for how Mae Mobley’s own mother delivered only fault and blame. Aibileen would gently encourage Mae Mobley to repeat the mantra back, “I is kind. I is smart. I is important,” wisely knowing how these words would eventually etch a groove in her brain to help in the dark times ahead. What a beautiful, power-

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

ful thing to be told every day that you is kind, you is smart, you is important even if — especially if — your own mother believes you’re nothing of the kind. We all carry a mantra inside us whether we are aware of it or not. For too many it goes something like “I am stupid, I can’t do it, I never get it right.” Well dropkick those mantras to the curb and throw them under a bus. How do you do that? By taking the time every day to say I am smart, I am kind, I am important. Heck, say it 50 times a day. Does that seem excessive? It shouldn’t. Studies have shown we entertain up to 50,000 thoughts a day and 80 per cent are usually negative, which means 40,000 times a day we think along the lines of “I am stupid, I can’t do it, I never get it right.” Surely we can make the effort to stop ourselves at least 50 times to say something positive instead. “But it’s not that easy,” you say. It is that easy. Nine little words aren’t that difficult to say. Write them on cards, pencil them on Post-it notes and

stencil them on bookmarks. Tack, sprinkle and frame them all over your house as evidence of your worth. “But I didn’t have someone like Aibileen telling me I was kind, smart and important every day. When I was a kid it felt like I couldn’t do anything right.” Well, you’re not a kid anymore are you? There’s no future in the past. Quit adding to those 40,000 negative thoughts and get busy subtracting from them instead. The kicker is that positive thinking is almost always

based on truth while negative thinking is usually based on lies. Think about it. You’re stupid? You can’t do it? You never get it right? Never? I doubt it. In fact, I bet you’re kind, smart and important. If you were following a person out of a store and they slipped and fell down would you A) help them up or B) rush over and kick them. If you chose A, you’re kind. If you chose B, well, stop it. Just the fact that you’re reading this means you’re smart enough to read, though smart comes in so many dif-

ferent guises. You might be smart at cooking, listening to friends or fixing things. Or maybe you’re smart at working with animals, growing a garden or putting a puck in the net. But trust me, you are smart. Everyone is smart at something. And for sure you’re important. Like Jimmy Stewart’s character in It’s a Wonderful Life you would be shocked at what the world would be like had you never been born. Consider people you have loved who are no longer here. Think about the things they

did that made a difference in your life. Well you make a difference too. Every person makes a difference even if it’s simply the time you smiled at a stranger on the bus and unknowingly launched a chain reaction of goodwill that averted a suicide. So say it loud, say it proud and say it often. I am kind, I am smart, I am important. Say it because it’s true. Shannon McKinnon is a Canadian humour columnist.

News Tools boost FASD awareness To kick off Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Prevention and Support Month, the B.C. government is launching an awareness campaign with new online tools and an interactive quiz to get people of all ages involved. Every September, B.C. marks FASD Prevention and Support Month and FASD Prevention and Support Day (Sept. 9), chosen to reflect the nine months of pregnancy. An FASD awareness trivia game mirrored after the popular Jeopardy! game show and interactive quiz are now posted on B.C.’s Best Chance website, featuring questions and trivia that relate to pregnancy and the effects of drinking alcohol while pregnant: www. bestchance.gov.bc.ca/toolsand-resources/interactivetools/interactive-tools.html. Communities and organizations throughout the province can also tap into a new online toolkit that includes suggestions for FASD prevention and awareness activities, as well as information on the resources available for children and families impacted by FASD. The toolkit is available at: www.health. gov.bc.ca/women-and-children/publications.html. The new online tools build on the annual FASD awareness campaign featured in all BC Liquor Stores throughout the month. The BC Liquor Distribution Branch teamed up with the B.C. government, BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre and the Public Health Agency of Canada to develop pamphlets, posters

and window clings. The materials are available to download by anyone with an interest in FASD prevention and raising awareness at: www.bcliquorstores.com/ alcohol-pregnancy Promoting healthy practices during pregnancy through public education and awareness is part of B.C.’s 10-year FASD Strategic Plan (20082018). The plan is reflected in the Families First Agenda for B.C. The Families First Agenda provides information about how government supports families throughout the province. It describes a range of established programs and some new ideas to help make life more affordable, support vulnerable families and keep communities safe. To read the agenda, share your ideas or provide feedback, visit: www.FamiliesFirstBC.ca “The new trivia game, quiz and toolkit are meant to get people thinking and talking about FASD, and recognizing the life-long impacts that FASD has,” says Mary McNeil, minister of children and family development. “Raising community awareness is key — and that’s why we are working together in collaboration to generate accessible information, which will in turn help our prevention and awareness efforts.” FASD is an umbrella term that describes the range of effects that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. These effects can include physical, mental, behavioural and/or learning disabilities with lifelong impli-

cations. Health Canada estimates nine in every 1,000 infants are born with FASD. Through partnerships between the provincial government, health authorities, school districts and community organizations, FASDprograms are available throughout B.C. In 2011, the B.C. government launched the Healthy Families BC strategy that includes Healthy Start. Healthy Start provides prenatal and postpartum support to all expectant mothers, and nurses offer support to at-risk mothers to support healthy pregnancies. Since 2006, Ministry of Children and Family Development has been delivering the Key Worker and Parent Support program to give families personalized support and information specific to their needs. Adults with FASD can seek services and support through Community Living BC’s Personalized Supports Initiative, introduced in 2010. As a leader in FASD prevention, diagnosis, assessment, and intervention, B.C. is a member of the Canada Northwest FASD Partnership, an alliance of the four western provinces and three territories that works together to enhance prevention, diagnosis and support. The partnership supports research in FASD through the Canada FASD Research Network: www.canfasd.ca. Resources for expectant mothers and new parents can be found at www. bestchance.gov.bc.ca.

off to work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where he is shot dead. So begins a film thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part history lesson, part admiring profile. The repeated crackdowns by the generals and their determination to crush the movement Suu inspires is effectively shown. When Michael triggers a move to recognize his Suu with a Nobel Peace Prize, it is as much a political maneuver as an act of loving support. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. Memberships will be available at the door, for $10 per person.

And most of all, it is a true story, unfolding right before our eyes still today. The film begins with a flashback to 1947 when her father Aung San, a revolutionary general regarded as the father of modern Burma, says a tender goodbye to the two-year-old Suu in the garden of the grand family water-side mansion before he is driven

She was condemned to 15 years of house arrest for her conviction, not able to see her husband, not able to see her two growing sons who were all living in England. It is a story of distance, long separations, a dangerously hostile regime, of devotion and human understanding set against a backdrop

Be Safe and Sound ‒ Clean Your Outdoor Furnace

From an article by Kenneth W. Michael Wills An outdoor wood furnace requires cleaning at least once a month during the winter months and usually every couple of months in the spring, summer and fall. Regular cleaning will increase safety, improve combusƟon and decrease maintenance costs. Follow these simple instrucƟons: • Take out all the large, partly burned pieces of wood from the furnace with your shovel. Set aside those that can sƟll be burned for later use. • Remove the embers piled inside the furnace and use the shovel to gather and dispose of the contents into your large metal container with the cover. You will want to place this container outdoors unƟl the ashes have burned out completely before disposing. • Dust of all the pipes and vents that sƟck out from the furnace. The vents should be swept in an up then down moƟon, deposiƟng all soot and ash at the base of your furnace unƟl there is no visible evidence of soot remaining. • Sweep all the soot and ash from the base of the furnace. • Use your mud bristle brush to clean-up the furnace base brush inside the furnace as well, to clean the oor and the sides.

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Go green … dark green Simone Jennings Interior Health

e all know it’s important to include a variety of vegetables in our diet. All vegetables are good, but some are packed with more nutrients than others. Some of the top contenders in nutritional value include kale and spinach. These dark greens are an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C and vitamin A. They are also a great source of the antioxidant lutein, which is thought to promote healthy eyes. These veggies are green in more ways than one. Eating dark greens

Simone Jennings this time of year is an environmentally friendly choice as local gardens are overflowing. Reduce food miles by buying your greens at your local farmers market. Sick of spinach salads? Spinach can easily be preserved for later use.

Memory loss not normal sign of aging As we age, some forgetfulness is natural and inevitable. You might, for example, lose the car keys or other household objects, or forget where you heard something and/or who told you. Those usually are not causes for concern. But Williams Lake families who are seeing their family members struggle with loss of memory, difficulty with day-to-day tasks, and changes in mood and behaviour could be dealing with something more serious. People may think these symptoms are part of normal aging, but they aren’t, explains Tara Hildebrand, the local support and education co-ordinator for Williams Lake and the Central Interior for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Those symptoms could well be indicators of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. One in four Canadians

has someone in their family with Alzheimer’s disease, and every five minutes a Canadian develops dementia. If you have concerns about your memory, or are concerned about someone else, it is important to consult with your family doctor, Hildebrand says. The society can also help local caregivers who are living with dementia. It runs a free support and information group that serves as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. The group helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. It meets at 9:30 a.m. on the first and third Thursday of each month. For more information contact Hildebrand at 250-3778200 (toll-free 1-800886-6946) or thildebrand@alzheimerbc.org You can also visit the Alzheimer Society of B.C. website at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Blanch spinach in boiling water for one minute. Rinse in cold water and drain or squeeze off the extra moisture. Pack in freezer bags or containers and freeze for future use in lasagne, spanakopita, spinach dip or frittatas. Not sure what to do with kale? You’re not alone! Kale tends to be tough so it is best when cooked. It can be steamed, sautéed or simmered. Remove the tough stems, tear or chop the leaves into bite sized pieces and steam until bright green and tender (approximately 10 minutes). Add your favourite dressing to flavour

and serve as a side dish. Or you can sauté it with garlic and onions and top with lemon juice and a sprinkle of salt. When cooking grains such as rice or quinoa you can add a large handful of chopped kale and some fresh herbs to the pot and let it cook with the grain. Lemon Kale 2 Tbsp canola oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 1 tsp lemon rind, grated ½-1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (depending on preference)

10 cups kale, chopped ¾ cup water In large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, salt and pepper and cook until softened. Stir in kale and lemon rind. Continue to stir for about a minute or until the kale is slightly wilted. Add 3/4 cup water; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender (about 10 minutes). Finally, stir in the lemon juice and cook uncovered for another minute or two until the liquid has cooked off. Serve as a side dish. Pairs well with fish. Simone Jennings is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

Ten questions that ensure a safe hunt 1. Do you possess a valid hunting license for your game? 2. Is the season for your game open and what is the set quota? 3. Do you know the territory well enough to avoid getting lost? Do you have a map or GPS? 4. What is the weather forecast for that day? 5. Are you fit enough and is your boat or ATV in good working order? 6. Do you have suitable clothing for all possible types of bad weather? 7. Have you packed some extra food just in case? 8. Is your weapon in good condition, cleaned, and ready to be used? 9. Have you packed all the other necessary equipment: binoculars, bullets, hunter orange gear? 10. Have you made sure that someone else knows where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to hunt and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back? To have the best hunting experience possible, follow the rules, pack the necessary equipment, and, most importantly of all, act with safety in mind at all times.

Notice to Hunters When a season is based on antler or horn size, hunters are reminded that the antlers or horns of male big game animals must accompany the carcass to a residence, a meatcutter or a cold storage plant. Similarly, the lower jaw with incisor teeth must accompany the carcass of a calf moose, where General Open Seasons exist.

Does someone know where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hunting and when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back?

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Mountain Caribou update Mountain caribou are a unique type of woodland caribou that is confined to mountainous terrain in eastern British Columbia from Mackenzie to Nelson where they feed almost exclusively on arboreal (tree) lichens during winter. They no longer live in almost half of their original range, and are listed as threatened under the federal Species at Risk Act. Scientists believe that mountain caribou have declined because of increased habitat fragmentation, predation, and disturbance associated with motorized backcountry recreation. These threats are being addressed through the government supported Mountain Caribou Recovery Implementation Plan www.env.gov. bc.ca/wld/ speciesconservation/mc/index. html. Another emerging threat to mountain caribou is climate change. While the implications of climate change for mountain caribou has not been assessed, climate change will likely affect the current distribution and availability of arboreal lichens. FORESTRY AND MOUNTAIN CARIBOU When high elevation forests are harvested the habitat of mountain caribou becomes fragmented and the primary winter food source for caribou, arboreal lichens, are removed from the landscape. Cut blocks provide forage for other ungulates that support predators that prey on caribou and roads can improve access to caribou habi-

tat for predators and motorized recreation. Timber harvesting and road building activities has been prohibited in approximately 2.2 million hectares in order to protect high suitability mountain caribou habitat. PREDATOR MANAGEMENT/ PREDATOR-PREY DYNAMICS AND MOUNTAIN CARIBOU Wolves are considered the main predator of mountain caribou, although cougar predation is also significant in some herds. Moose populations that have expanded their range into mountain caribou habitats have enabled wolf

populations to increase in these areas, increasing the risk of predation by wolves on caribou. In an effort to lower predation losses on caribou, pilot projects to reduce both moose (the primary food supply of wolves) and wolves have been implemented in some of the mountain caribou recovery areas. The ministry is requesting the help of the hunting and trapping community with caribou recovery efforts. Mountain Caribou range is within MUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-40 to 3-46, 4-4 to 4-8, 4-17, 4-20, 4-27 to 4-32, 4-37 to 4-40, 5-15, 5-16, 7-3 to 7-7, 7-16 to 7-18 and 7-23. If you harvest a wolf within the range

of Mountain Caribou please phone the nearest regional Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations office and report the date, location, and sex of the harvested animal. Reporting of harvested wolves will help to determine pack numbers, location, movements, and provide valuable information to enable a better understanding of this predator-prey relationship. WINTER RECREATION AND MOUNTAIN CARIBOU Winter recreation, including snowmobiling, heli-skiing, and cat-skiing may displace mountain caribou from their preferred winter habitats. Encountering snow machines or skiers may also increase metabolic stress on mountain caribou, which can reduce their energy reserves during winter. In addition, snowmobile trails may provide access routes for wolves into areas occupied by mountain caribou. In an effort to reduce

impacts on mountain caribou, the BC Snowmobile Federation, the Association of BC Snowmobile Clubs, Heli-Cat Canada, and Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing all signed Memorandums of Understanding with the BC government to educate snowmobilers and skiers about mountain caribou and promote codes of practice consistent with caribou recovery. Should snowmobilers encounter mountain caribou they are advised to not approach these animals and, if possible, to shut off their machines and allow the caribou to move away. If caribou are on legal access trails, snowmobilers should wait for them to leave of their own accord. In addition, the Ministry of Environment closed approximately 1 million hectares of significant mountain caribou habitat to snowmobiling under the regulations of the Wildlife Act. When snowmobiling, you must refer to maps found at www.snowmobile.gov. bc.ca to comply with legislation.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo

Fall 2012

Cleaning and calibrating There are many preparations to take care of before a hunting trip, but taking care

of your firearm should definitely take priority. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go into the woods with your gun

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t head into the woods until your weapons have been cleaned and adjusted.

until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cleaned it and calibrated your sights. This could be the decisive factor in a successful hunting trip. Investing in a boresighter is always a good idea. This will allow you to adjust your scope before your practice shots and will limit the number of bullets youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need for your final adjustments. If your scope ever goes out of focus during a hunting trip, this tool will allow you to make a temporary adjustment with enough accuracy to shoot big game. The best thing to do is focus your scope at a practice range so that your weapon is adjusted properly to your eye, your position, and your shoot-

ing technique. Perhaps even more important than the adjustment of the sights and scope is making sure that your weapon is in good working condition. This is why it is always a good idea to have it checked

and adjusted by a gunsmith. These experts are very busy in the weeks preceding the hunting season, so be sure to have your gun checked and repaired during the summer rather than waiting for the fall.

Fall CAR CARE Check those tires

Factory Honda Steel Wheels Available

No matter the road or weather conditions, tires are most efficient at their properly indicated pressure. tires, spend a lot of time and energy developing tires that grip on the ice at their normal air pressure. If you are not familiar with checking air pressure, simply ask your mechanic to do it for you or show you how to do it. Most likely, he or she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge you for

it, and it will definitely help you avoid more expenses down the road, if one of your tires is underinflated. By the way, most new cars and trucks are equipped with tire pressure detectors (TPMS: tire pressure monitoring system), but too many motorists ignore them,

thinking that they can do a few more kilometres and check the tires later. That is not a good practice! You never know when you will need the most out of your tires and their capabilities, and they will only work properly if they are inflated to the recommended pressure.

Replace wiper blades for safety Are you tired of smearing, screeching and chattering wiper blades? Do you dread another rainy drive without the benefit of an unobstructed view of the road? Buy a set of wiper blades and install them yourself. It takes only a few minutes, and simple instructions are right on the box. More than 70% of Canadians change the wiper blades themselves. Before you begin, here are two suggestions: â&#x20AC;˘ You can make the wiper blade more accessible by stopping it

in the most convenient location with the ignition key. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the wiper on-off switch, as it causes the wipers to stop in their parked position. â&#x20AC;˘ Look for replacement rubber squeegees to avoid the cost of buying the entire blade and holder. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually easily installed and can restore wiping action, as long as the rest of the components are OK. The normal life expectancy of the rubber squeegee is six to 12 months. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reason enough to learn to do it

yourself. Seasonal differences in Canada, make it im-

portant to ensure your wipers working properly.

You might roll your eyes to read this yet again, but have you checked your tire pressure lately? If you take a look around you the next time you idle at an intersection, chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice more than one slightly deflated tire. Regularly checking the air pressure in your tires, no matter where you live, no matter how cold it is, will keep you safe on the roads and prolong the life of your tires and vehicle. tThough safety is the most important issue here, the advice also goes for saving money. Indeed, underinflated tires do cause more fuel consumption, in all weather. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to the old wivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tales that say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have better traction on ice if your tires are slightly underflated!

Fall CAR CARE Choosing the right winter tire More and more motorists are catching on that winter tires play an essential role during the cold season, when using the proper winter tire makes all the difference on icy or snowy roads as well as on cold pavement. Which winter tire is the best? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as simple as recommending one specific brand or model. The best advice we can give to motorists who are puzzled by all those tires on the market is to go and see a local tire dealer who advertises many brands. The shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technicians will be able to tell you which tire is best suited to your car or truck and to your style of driving. For example, motorists living in very snowy areas will probably need winter tires with a much more aggressive tread design. Even then, the recommendation will depend on whether the car or truck is front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive. People who do a lot of highway driving will be shown specific tires that might not display large and deep grooves; tires for that kind of driving are more likely to feature an intricate design crated to sip the water from the top layer of the ice on the road so that the tire can reach the drier part of that ice

SAFETY TIPS

In Case of an

EMERGENCY dial

FIRES ARE SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS They are loud and hot, and the smoke makes it very dark. Fires hurt and destroy things in your home. You and your family can help make your home safer from fire. Where in your home do possible fire problems exist? What can you do to make sure that you and your family are less likely to be harmed by fire?

THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE Never put anything over a lamp, like clothes or a blanket, not even when playing. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch radiators or heaters. Ask an adult to turn a heater on or off for you.

THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand too close to the fireplace or a wood stove. You could get burned or your clothes could catch fire. Never touch matches, lighters, or candles. If you see matches or lighters in a room, tell an adult right away. IN THE KITCHEN Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cook alone or without asking an adult. Remind your parents to turn pot handles toward the center of the stove. They should never hang over the edge where someone could bump into them and knock them off the stove.

Taste of nature activities Grace Baptist at Scout Island Church Pump Up Your Vitamin N(ature) this Saturday, Sept. 8. It is a great time to peer through the scope as part of Scout Island’s Healthy by Nature event. The Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society will be there with its innovative see-through composters, community/xeriscape garden displays, and hands-on Watershed and Waste Wise models. The WL Environmental Society will have an air quality display, and Tammy Keetch will be on hand to answer your questions. Slap your tail over to the “Way Cool Beaver School” — see through a series of hands-on activities how beaver kits learn, discover the beaver lodge and train your eye to spot beaver food along the Willow Trail. Sign up for the Nature Olympics — a series of nature challenges along the trails. Get your passport stamped then enter it into the draw for some great nature-friendly prizes. Hosts will be on hand in the Nature House so you can explore to your heart’s content. It all happens between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The whole shebang is free and the forecast is very promising, so don’t miss this good time, invites Jenny Noble, nature centre program co-ordinator. The Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society and Williams Lake Environmental Society will hold their annual meetings in the McMechan Room at the Nature Centre from

1 to 2:30 p.m. the same day. Come chat about the year ahead; they’ll keep the business end quick. They’re committed to making the meeting an enjoyable time for all. Consider bringing a friend, get to know about these worthwhile groups and maybe even join their efforts.

This event is part of the Healthy by Nature project of the Conservation Society, WL Field Naturalists, WL Environmental Society and Scout Island. Our local governments (City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District) support this kind of activity with annual funding that’s greatly appreciated.

TOUCH OF VICTORIAN ELEGANCE A turret surrounded by an old-fashioned veranda with decorative stone-based pilasters lends the exterior of this generously proportioned four-bedroom home a touch of Victorian elegance. The elegance carries through the covered entry and beyond the double-height foyer. To the right, a charming study occupies the turretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor, with french doors to a veranda. Nearby is a powder room with a coat closet opposite. The great room, complete with a ďŹ replace ďŹ&#x201A;anked by built-in entertainment units, ďŹ&#x201A;ows seamlessly into the bayed-out nook, where a window seat overlooks the back garden. No cook will ever feel isolated in the kitchen, separated only by countertops and an eating bar from the great room and nook. The U-shaped counter conďŹ guration will save steps, and a capacious pantry provides always-needed storage space. Completing this well-designed space is a convenient prep island. Also on the main ďŹ&#x201A;oor is the laundry room, with a handy chute from upstairs and built-in boot shelves. Access from the double garage to the kitchen leads through a mud-room with a useful bench for changing damp or grubby footwear. The design shows regard for the streetscape â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the garageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double doors are hidden, with two partly mullioned street-side windows giving passersby the illusion of lived-in space. On the second ďŹ&#x201A;oor, the master bedroom features

its own private balcony and a walk-in closet. The four-piece ensuite occupies the turret, giving this space the air of a spa retreat. The second and third bedrooms share a spacious four-piece bathroom with a laundry chute. Over the garage, linked to the main house by a sloping walkway, is an unďŹ nished bonus room. With slanting ceilings and a dormer window, this space would make an ideal play area or studio. This home measures 79 feet wide and 50 feet, seven inches deep, totalling 2,673 square feet, plus an unďŹ nished basement. Plans for design 7-4-932 are available for $812 (set of 5), $914 (set of 8) and $977 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).

Marcela Vera Navratil April 30, 1938 – August 4, 2012

Marcela was born in 1938 in Czechoslovakia. She has a younger brother and sister, still in Czech Republic. She grew up in the countryside and enjoyed frequent hiking with the family in nearby mountains. As a child, she enjoyed many religious traditions, which were outlawed when the communists took over the country. These traditions were something she seemed to miss, not only as a child, but also in our Canadian culture. She finished her basic education under the Communist regime where many freedoms were suppressed. She married Stan, her high school sweetheart, in 1959. She worked as a pharmaceutical technician before the children were born. When Roman and Michael were born in 1965 and 1968, Marcela made sure that they were baptised in the Catholic Church, which at that time was not an easy arrangement. When the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, steps were taken to immigrate to Canada. Stan and Marcela first came to Toronto, later to Thunder Bay and in 1982, they moved to Alberta to Spruce Grove. Here she very much enjoyed the fellowship of the church community. To be closer to the grandchildren they moved to 150 Mile House in 1997. Marcela was an exceptional, devoted grandmother and from a very early age, the grandchildren always looked forward to going to Grandma’s house where love and goodies always awaited them. She greatly enjoyed hiking and camping in the Rocky Mountains and travelling with her husband and sometimes her grandchildren, in Canada and abroad. Her priorities, however, were always her faith, her family, her home and her garden. She fought hard her battle with leukemia. She had a great conviction in healing, and never stopped expecting a miraculous recovery.

Workshop helps caregivers care for themselves Central Cariboo Hospice Society is presenting a workshop on Sept. 18 with Jan Spilman, MEd, a B.C. registered clinical counsellor and specialist on compassion fatigue and chronic sorrow. With a 10-year background in critical care nursing and 20 years as a trauma and loss therapist and workshop facilitator in private practice, Spilman now focuses exclusively on teaching workshops that support, renew and inspire wellness in helping professionals, volunteers and family caregivers. Her goal is to support the simple but profound life changes that build resilience to compas-

sion fatigue (the natural exhaustion, traumatic stress and diminished capacity for empathy that can accompany working with the suffering or traumatized) and chronic sorrow (the very normal and continuing grief response to living with a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent illness or impairment). Some warning signs of compassion fatigue and chronic sorrow include feeling helpless and hopeless, the sense that one can never do enough, the inability to listen to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pain, dissociative moments, survivor guilt, fear, anger and cynicism, profound sadness, emotional numbing and self-

VALLEY AUCTION LTD

medicating behaviours. This workshop will use mini-addresses, film, individual exercises and group discussion to help participants recognize their current level of compassion fatigue/chronic sorrow

and to begin a personalized resiliency plan to guide their process of prevention or healing. The workshop will be held at the St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church basement hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Lunch will be provided. Those interested can call the Central Cariboo Hospice Society, Kate McDonough or Teresa Myers at 250-392-5430 for more information on the fee and to register.
