‘World’s cleanest’ LNG still a B.C. goal
colourful lights display
By tom fletcher Black Press
The B.C. Liberal government isn’t wavering from its goal of developing clean energy as negotiations continue for an expanding natural gas export megaproject across the north, Premier Christy Clark says. In a year-end interview this week, Clark responded to Coastal First Nations concerns that liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing at Kitimat and potentially Prince Rupert could proceed without external electricity supplies. Clark said LNG exports to Asia have been her top economic priority in recent months, with the original two projects on Haisla Nation land at Douglas Channel growing to eight proposals as international interest in British Columbia shale gas development has grown. Confidential negotiations are ongoing with energy companies, and decisions on power supply have not yet been made, she added. “Our plan has always been for the cleanest LNG produced anywhere in the world, so that’s been hydro, wind power and other renewables as well. But, we’ve always said there’s going to have to be some natural gas power produced to shape it. “There’s another economic imperative we have, which is to grow our clean energy industry. We’ve got the third biggest clean tech industry on the globe, after Germany and California, and we want to keep growing that.” Last week, the Haisla Nation dropped out of its voluntary association with the Haida, Heiltsuk, Gitga’at and other communities that make up the Coastal First Nations (CFN).

Innovative youth mining apprenticeship pilot
Secondary students in the Cariboo are now able to take a secondary school apprenticeship at the Mount Polley Mine through a pilot program, Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas Rich Coleman announced recently. The project, which is endorsed by the BC Mining HR Task Force (BCMHRTF) and School District #27, is aimed at addressing the issues of an aging workforce and related skill shortages. The program started in June 2012 and will be completed in June 2013. An agreement was reached with Mount Polley Mine and, as a result, students and their trade area were identified from the district’s programs. Several mining-related trades and their students were available for the pilot. Says Tim Fisch, Mount Polley Mining Corporation gener-
al manager: “We are pleased to participate in this innovative program, which will provide the youth in our region the skills necessary to take advantage of high-paying job opportunities in our industry immediately upon completion of their secondary education.” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett says apprenticeships like this one give students the chance to
learn real skills, which will help them in their career path, while at the same time addressing the skills shortage we have in mining. “I’m very happy to see collaborative projects such as this one where both the students and the industry benefit.” The BC Mining HR Task Force’s interim report on the project is available at www.a careerinminingbc.ca/ educators.

Let’s talk turkey to keep dinner safe South Cariboo Theatre
Turkey is an important part of many holiday celebrations and the BC Centre for Disease Control has some tips to help you prepare turkey safely. Proper food handling is especially important because turkey can be contaminated with bacteria, such as Salmonella. It can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and can also lead to more serious complications, especially in infants and the elderly. As many as 650,000 people become ill due to food-borne illness in British Columbia each year. The following steps can reduce the risk of getting sick from turkey: Buy safely At the store, always put the turkey in a plastic bag separate from other foods, as leaking turkey juices could contaminate those foods. Once home, immediately store the turkey in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.
(five pounds) of turkey. Thawing in a sealed plastic bag under cold running water is also acceptable. Once thawed, it must be stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Never thaw your turkey at room temperature.
Separate Ensure there is no cross contamination in the kitchen by keeping raw poultry separate from other foods. If possible, make any ready-to-eat foods, such as salad or raw vegetable platters, before you prepare your turkey. Clean Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling any food. After preparing the turkey,
wash the counter, utensils and cutting boards with warm soapy water and then sanitize with a bleach solution before doing anything else in the kitchen. To make a bleach solution, combine 5 ml (one teaspoon) bleach with 1 litre (four cups) of water. Marinate properly Many people now marinate their turkey before cooking. Marinating should always be done in the refrigerator. Furthermore, if you intend to use the marinade later, it must be heated to boiling to make it safe to eat. Cook Whichever cooking method you use, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey
is cooked. The minimum meat temperature should be at least 74 C or hotter, taken in the thickest part of the thigh and with the thermometer not touching a bone. If the turkey is stuffed, then the stuffing must also be 74 C or hotter. To improve food safety, cook stuffing outside of the turkey in a casserole dish.

Healthy tips for the holidays In anticipation of heavy volumes at area emergency departments during the holiday season, the Interior Health Authority (IHA) reminds the public to take a few simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital. For non-urgent care during office hours, call your family doctor or the doctor on call for the practice or clinic. Consider going to a local walk-in clinic, but call ahead to check the clinic’s hours. Try to see your doctor before the holidays, if you have any developing health concerns. Note the holiday hours of your local pharmacy or drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up-todate and filled prior to the holidays. Call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 for confidential health information and non-emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For deaf and hearingimpaired assistance (TTY), call 7-1-1. If you are concerned about a possible poisoning or exposure to a toxic substance, call Poison Control at 1-800-567-8911. If at any time you feel you require urgent medical attention, do not hesitate to go to the emergency department or call emergency services at 9-1-1. IHA regional hospitals’ emergency services are available 24 hours a day; however, some hospitals may experience higher than normal volumes over

Know before you go on a trip The best route to travel is a planned route
failing to obey signs stating, “Use winter tires or carry chains beyond this point.” Driving conditions in British Columbia can change suddenly and dramatically. What starts off as a sunny day can quickly give way to a blizzard. Conditions can improve just as quickly, so delaying your departure for an hour or two can make a big difference. Know before you go by checking DriveBC for the latest weather and road conditions.

The annual CKBX Turkey Day campaign set a couple of new records this year since its inception in 1988. The event raises money each Christmas season for the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society. A total of 802 turkeys were pledged at $25 per turkey, bringing in a total of $20,050 as of Dec. 12. The previous high was 676 turkeys for a total of $16,900 and the goal for this year was 400 turkeys. Another record broken was for the single largest donation came from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) 100 Mile House Branch, which pledged 200 turkeys

WEEK OF DECEMBER 23 TO 29, 2012
Erma tannEr
THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: VIRGO, LIBRA, AND SCORPIO.
Erma says: “I love the variety of music and everyone is so happy sounding on the ads. Very lucky to have CaribooRadio.Com covering such a area for us. CaribooRadio. Com covers a great variety of happenings near and far.
ARIES
You’re a real chatterbox and you will be the driving force in getting everyone into the party mood. Be careful in all your comings and goings. TAURUS
Plan for some extra expenses just before the 25th as well as for the festivities you’re involved in. You’re the best person to warm the hearts of those who need cheering up. GEMINI
You are on the lookout for parties to go to, as you feel the need to be active, to have a change of air, and especially to be surrounded by friends and family. Despite all this activity you won’t neglect the people around you. CANCER
You really crave a good night’s sleep. Try to go to bed early whenever possible, otherwise you won’t be able to celebrate the New Year with everyone else. LEO
You can’t seem to avoid being the life and soul of the party. On the other hand, you are also very capable of taking charge if things get out of control. VIRGO
This year the holiday parties you attend will be either the biggest you’ve ever seen or the smallest; there won’t be much in between. In either case you’ll be very willing to help.

LIBRA
Lady Luck is with you, so be sure to ask all the family to participate in purchasing a group lottery ticket. You could turn a family project into reality. SCORPIO
You are actually a sensitive person but you don’t always let it show. If there is any sort of tension within the family you will be able to placate everyone concerned before the situation boils over.

few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.
There’s a good chance that you’ll be the host for various gatherings, at which you’ll really spoil your guests. Even if you’re away for a while, you’ll still always be looking for ways to help out.
FOR PUZZLE ANSWERS: See the Dec. 26th FREE PRESS
AQUARIUS
Although you’re reserved at times, you always enjoy large gatherings. You draw attention to yourself by acting crazy sometimes or by passing comments that don’t go unnoticed. PISCES
Even though you believe in traditional holiday celebrations, you are open to discovering other cultures. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone from a different culture is invited to your home.

Have a healthy holiday season with wonderful food Living Well
THERE IS A BETTER WAY…
Health tips… for your whole life. By Simone Jennings, Laura Kalina and Rose Soneff
For many of us the holiday season is marked by sharing great food with friends and families. It’s a challenge not to over indulge at this time of year. Yet it’s not healthy to feel deprived due to avoiding food at social gatherings, while trying to stick to a diet. Part of having a healthy relationship with food is being able to enjoy all foods in moderation. However, having healthy options available allows us to eat more nutritious foods along with the inevitable goodies. Big things come in small packages and when it comes to calories, appetizers can be huge. Despite their small size many appetizers are made with rich ingredients that are loaded with extra calories. Why not contribute something a little lighter to the appetizer scene? To up the nutritional value without overdoing the calories incorporate vegetables, whole grains, plain yogurt or bean dip, into

appetizers. Aim for 50 per cent of the offerings to include some fruit and/or vegetables. Here are a few ideas to consider: • Stuffed cherry tomatoes - Slice cherry tomatoes in half and scoop out the pulp. Stuff the tomatoes with a small crumble of goat cheese and top with a little pesto or stuff with a small cube of feta and a thin slice of kalamata olive. • Fruit skewers – Put a new spin on the classic fruit platter. Cut assorted fruit into chunks and thread onto small barbeque skewers or toothpicks. Serve with flavoured low fat Greek yogurt for a dip that contains a good source of protein and is easy on the calories. • Assorted cracker toppers – Choose your favourite whole grain cracker and top with things, such as low fat cream cheese and jalapeño jelly, low fat cream cheese and smoked salmon, or cucumber and hummus. • Tortilla pinwheels – Cover the surface of a 10-inch whole grain tortilla with low fat spreadable cream cheese, add some let-
tuce and fill with any of the following combinations: thinly sliced cucumber, red pepper, green onion, and salsa; smoked salmon, capers and red onion; or feta, dried cranberries and green onions. You can also fill with hummus and veggies or use salad sandwich ingredients, such as egg, salmon or tuna. Roll the tortilla tightly (imagine rolling sushi) and cut into one or two inch pieces. You can also help encourage healthier holiday nibbling by using smaller plates and putting healthier choices at the start of the appetizer table. Placing healthy choices up front encourages guests to fill their plates with the healthy options. Remember, there is much more to the holiday season then food. Enjoy time with friends and family by taking a walk together after eating. Consider planning gatherings around activities, such as ice skating, tobogganing or skiing, to help encourage activities that are both healthy and fun during holiday celebrations. Simone Jennings, Laura Kalina and Rose Soneff are community nutritionists with the Interior Health Authority.

CFN united in opposition From 1
They are still united in opposition to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposed to go to Kitimat, but the rest of the CFN oppose processing LNG directly by mechanical equipment that burns gas. Clark said full development of B.C. LNG will require construction of the Site C hydro dam on the Peace River, as well as smaller hydro developments and wind power, such as that proposed off the coast of Haida Gwaii. The CFN occupy what is now known as the Great Bear Rainforest, a vast area of the north and central B.C. coast with a landuse plan negotiated in 1996 with the B.C. and
