Property assessments are in the mail

More than 4,500 property owners throughout the City of Williams Lake can expect to receive their 2013 assessment notices in the next few days. “Most homes in Williams Lake are remaining relatively stable in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said Darin Johnson, deputy assessor. “Most home owners in Williams Lake will see modest changes in the minus 10 per cent to plus 10 per cent range.”

Overall, the City of Williams Lake’s Assessment Roll increased from $1.24 billion last year to $1.25 billion this year. A total of $16.2 million of this growth includes subdivisions, rezoning and new construction. “Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2012 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact our office as indicated on their notice as soon

as possible in January,” said Johnson. “If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by Jan. 31, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” added Johnson. The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the

Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and meet between Feb. 1 and Mar. 15 to hear formal complaints. The Cariboo assessment office is located at Suite 202 – 350 Barnard Street in Williams Lake. During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday. Property owners can contact BC Assessment toll-free at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-825-8322) or email at www.bcassessment.ca.

Quiet holiday season so far, say police Overall, it was a fairly quiet holiday season for the RCMP, said the Williams Lake RCMP in a press release Jan. 2. Police responded to approximately 200 calls for service which included several motor vehicle accidents on the highways. New Years Eve and early morning brought a steady pace of alcohol involved disturbances. The most notable was a large wedding reception New Years Eve where several people were arrested due to intoxication and related ill behaviours. Several road checks were set up

where a trend of decreased impaired driving continues. Public awareness and Operation Red Nose are likely two very significant contributors to this positive trend. The Williams Lake RCMP wishes everyone a happy New Year. Please drive safely and allow for extra time when traveling due to the icy roads. Sometime overnight on Dec. 28, 2012, thieves struck at Brandt Tractor, Williams Lake, BC. Stolen was a brand new John Deere Skid Steer tractor, Model 320D. The skid steer had a hydraulic blade attachment on

the front. The thieves would have required a trailer to steal this tractor. If anyone has knowledge or witnessed this crime please call the Williams Lake RCMP or Crime Stoppers. At 7:30 pm on Saturday, Dec 28, 2012, the Williams Lake RCMP received a report of a theft from the Comer Beer and Wine store. Upon arrival, police learned that the lone male suspect was in the process of stealing some alcohol. When confronted by the two employees and another customer, the male brandished a knife and fled. A very detailed description

So nice to come home to. Call today to schedule a personal visit 250.305.1131 williamslakeseniorsvillage.com

was provided of the suspect. The following evening in the nearby vicinity during a routine patrol, a police officer observed a male matching the description of this suspect. When the police officer attempted to speak with this male, the suspect fled on foot. After a short foot pursuit, the suspect was arrested and taken to the RCMP detachment. He was later released for a court date in the future. Assault with a weapon, theft, and uttering threats are charges that the RCMP will be recommending to Crown Counsel.

B.C. births on the rise in 2011 The most popular names for babies born in British Columbia in 2011 were Liam and Emma, according to the annual report from the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency. The most widely selected names for boys were Liam, Ethan, Mason, Lucas and Benjamin. The top five names for girls were Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Ava and

Chloe. In 2011, there were a total of 43,991 births in B.C., up from 43,670 in 2010. “I am proud to call British Columbia home and so are more and more people,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “The number of births in British Columbia is growing and British Columbians also enjoy the longest life expec-

tancy in Canada, with life expectancy of 82 years old.” Life expectancy in British Columbia is the highest in Canada at 82 years for 2007-11, up from 81.7 for 2006-10. The provincial population also grew naturally by 12,215 in 2011, or at rate of 2.7 per thousand, not counting migration. The report also states

the total number of deaths in B.C. in 2011 was 31,776, up from 31,151 in 2010. The leading cause of death was cancer. The oldest person to die in British Columbia in 2011 lived to be 112. The number of HIV deaths continues to fall in B.C. In 2011, there were 59 HIV deaths, down from 253 in 1996. The 140th edition of

the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency Annual Report contains information collected from registrations of births, deaths and marriages that happened in 2011.

New year’s resolutions; looking back and ahead On a trip to P.E.I. in September 2011 Darcy and I discovered COWS ice cream. Rated the best ice cream in the entire world it had us at first lick. I am ashamed to admit we went to COWS every afternoon for eight days. We quickly became COWS connoisseurs. We learned not every tub was created equal. Some left the factory filled with a generous swirl of caramel and nuts while others were heavy on ice cream but a little shy on filler. We learned to peer through the glass case to see how the day’s ice cream looked before making the difficult choice between our favoured flavours; Cowie Wowie or Mooey Gooey. Some days Cowie Wowie was decidedly lacking in wowie and on others Mooey Gooey was more mooey than gooey. On one dark, desperate afternoon we turned to Udder Fludder for our fix when neither Cowie Wowie nor Moo-

ey Gooey met our lofty palate expectations. But have our fix we did and when it was good it was very, very, good and when it was bad it was only mind blowing delicious. The reason COWS ice cream tastes so good is because it is made with real cream, eggs and sugar. The reason I gained eight pounds in eight days was because it was made with real cream, eggs and sugar. Eight pounds gained despite walking a five mile circuit that took us along the Charlottetown boardwalk, up through a ritzy area of the city and then back to our hotel every day.

It took me three years to lose 20 pounds and only eight days to gain almost half of it back. Metabolism is not kind to the aging body. Last January I made a resolution to walk 1,000 miles and not only return to my pre-COWS weight but hopefully lose another 10 pounds putting me at my ideal weight for the first time in well, ever, unless you count my early teens. I didn’t quite hit my goal. Instead I managed to walk 730 miles and lose six of the eight pounds. If you do the math I walked two miles a day and lost half a pound a month. Heavy sigh. And heavy bum. And heavy stomach. And heavy hips. Ah well, slow and steady wins the race and all that. While I would prefer to drop the works in a week like they do on TV, they say if you lose weight slowly it is more likely to stay off. That’s good news, since it would be hard to lose weight any slower than

me. I’m just grateful they don’t have a COWS outlet anywhere nearby or I’d be as big as one; a cow that is. Or who knows, maybe the outlet too. I guess it would depend on the size of the building. And on how much ice cream I ate. I used to be a HaagenDazs girl until COWS claimed my taste buds.

On two occasions Darcy swears he heard me mutter, “Mooey Gooey please, one scoop” in my sleep. But I know he’s lying. If it were true I would have asked for two scoops. Or maybe one scoop of Mooey Wooey and a second scoop of Cowie Wowie, but definitely not a single scoop. Darcy snapped a

picture of me with the COWS cow. By the crazed look on my face I am clearly ramped up on ice cream. I stuck it on the fridge for the holidays. I put it there to serve as a reminder how – in my case - a week of indulgence can take a year to shed. Some of the days it helped keep me out of the baking. And some days it made

me wonder about buying a cow and making ice cream. Ah well, a new year, a new resolution and here I go once again... moving towards my goal at a blinding snail’s pace. Shannon McKinnon is a weekly columnist from Northern BC. You can read past columns by visiting www.shannonmckinnon.com

AN APPLE A DAY...

This is the time of year to make resolutions to change our lives for the better. It’s also good to resolve to make someone else’s life better too. If you know someone who is lonely or depressed, why not reach out and bring that person to your home for dinner. It will make you both feel better. One of the most common resolutions people make for the New Year is to lose weight and to exercise regularly. Ironically, the latter certainly does help the weight-loss goal. Regular exercise is like taking a pill that’s good for many ailments. It helps control and prevent problems like heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes and insomnia. It’s never too late to start an exercise program.

Happy New Year to all my clients, friends and family

Speaking of depression, it does seem more prevalent at this time of year. There are many reasons for it but sometimes it’s just the lack of light during the short days of winter. Ask our pharmacists about light therapy. Often simply sitting under a special light for 30 minutes daily can help banish the blues. Try to keep your hands away from your nose and mouth at this time of year. These two areas are where bacteria and viruses can easily enter the body. You don’t want your fingers to inoculate yourself with colds and flu. Another year has gone by and we want to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2013. Thank you for all your kind comments about this column. We look forward to serving you throughout the year with great service by our great staff. Happy New Year!

I am looking forward with anticipation to what the New Year will bring. No longer are we worried that the world ended with the ending of the Mayan calendar. I wonder what new predictions will come out this year! Who will calculate the next major doomsday warning? I do not mean to be sarcastic or demeaning, but we were warned against running after those who would claim Jesus is here or there; or those who predict the day and time of the end of the world. Jesus instructed us to look at the signs. We are to look carefully at the events around us and be prepared for various things to happen that may cause us Canadians, and Americans, some discomfort or even outright hardship. Looking at the Scriptures Jesus said in Matthew 24:4-8 “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.” Continue reading Matthew 24, and there you will see that persecution of

PARSONS PEN

BY Captain Randy the followers of Jesus will increase. However, if you love God there is nothing to fear; for we are not to fear him who can destroy the body, rather him who destroys the soul. Watch the times not to predict when the end is near, rather to spur us towards getting right with God. In the past many have tried to figure out when Jesus will return: Matthew 24:36 states that “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” There are individuals who have spent (or given away) all they possessed out of the misguided belief that they knew to

the day when the world will end. Many lost not only their possession but also their faith in God. We do not know the date of Jesus’ return; however Jesus encourages us to get ready. Matthew 24 :42-44 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” We do not know the exact day or time, but we do know He will come. 2 Peter 3:9-10 “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” Jesus will return when we least expect Him. Are you ready? This New Year if you make a resolution resolve to be ready for the return of Jesus. Attend a church near you.

Movie night features films about Enbridge Krista Liebe Special to the Tribune Please note the change: on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. the Williams Lake Film Club will show the documentaries On The Line and SPOIL at the Gibraltar Room. The Field Naturalists advised us that they had obtained a copy of On the Line for screening, however, it has to be sent on to other groups shortly. We certainly could not miss this chance and decided to combine it with screening SPOIL. On the Line is an eco-adventure documentary like no other. You follow filmmaker Frank Wolf and his friend Todd McGowan on a 2,400 km journey by foot, bike, raft, and kayak as they seek to uncover the truth about a proposed $5.5 billion oil pipeline. The Northern Gateway Pipeline Project is a proposal by Enbridge Corporation with its head offices in Calgary.

If successful it will carry raw bitumen from the Alberta Tar Sands, actually from Bruderheim, Alta. to Kitimat, B.C. The pipeline would cross 773 watercourses and bring supertankers to B.C.’s pristine north coast for the first time ever in order to deliver tar sands bitumen to Asian markets. In 2010, Wolf and McGowan followed the GPS track of the pipeline in order to uncover the truth about the proposal. Through the voices of people they meet along the way, their rough and often difficult journey reveals the severe risks and consequences associated with this huge project. It is fascinating to watch how the voices change from Alberta to B.C. Wolf is an awardwinning filmmaker and writer specializing in adventure and environmental documentary and covering stories from around the globe. He is known for his unique shooting style

Christ Centered Family Focused Film maker Frank Wolf en route while making a SPOIL, a film that followed the proposed route for the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project. Photo submitted and humorous approach in order to make even difficult subjects like the Enbridge Pipeline Proposal more accessible to a broad audience. This film could not be timelier and is an absolute must-see for all ages. Our second offering, SPOIL — 40 minutes — was created by the International League of Conservation Photographers who adventured through the Great Bear Rainforest in B.C. to support the coastal First

Nations’ fight against super tanker traffic through their waters. The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline project threatens the lands, ecosystems, cultures and communities of the north. In the challenge of just 10 days, these world famous photographers must capture the iconic wilderness and wildlife of this suddenly threatened landscape. Their encounter with

a real-time display of their power consumption. The Clean Energy Act was the culmination of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate and energy strategy. It exempted the wireless meter project, the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River, and an array of private power proposals from scrutiny by the B.C. Utilities Commission. NDP energy critic John Horgan has said he supports a review of the wireless grid proposal and other major projects by the utilities commission.

the Spirit Bear has become famous the world over. SPOIL is certainly one of the most spectacular films you will ever see. Both these films together make for an unforgettable evening and will give you much food for thought. Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $9 regular, $8 for Club members, $6 for students, HS and TRU, and for seniors. Everyone is welcome.

BC Hydro has been given another year to complete its wireless smart grid project, as it nears the original deadline with 140,000 smart meters still to be installed. Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced the extension of the Dec. 31, 2012 deadline imposed by the B.C. Liberal government’s Clean Energy Act. Pushed through the legislature in the spring of 2010, that legislation supports sweeping changes to BC Hydro’s expansion using wind, small hydro and other private power development. In a ministry statement, Coleman cited shortages of skilled labour, meters and other specialized equipment as well as “customer concerns” for failing to meet the deadline for all 1.87 million meters across the province. BC Hydro has

been dogged by political and citizen protests about the cost of the refit and persistent claims of various hazards from the meters. Installers have also encountered meters made inaccessible by construction of garages, decks and other structures that covered them. Some homeowners who refused replacement of mechanical meters now worry that they will be on the hook for costs if their old meter equipment fails after they refused the upgrade. BC Hydro spokesman Greg Alexis said the one-year delay, originally signalled in a November finance ministry update, doesn’t change the utility’s target of the 2014 fiscal year to implement the entire system. Meters are only a small part of a province-wide grid that will automatically report power outages and offer customers

HEALTH, MIND & BODY Make a resolution to quit with B.C.’s Smoking Cessation Program Smokers who want to make a New Year’s resolution to quit are reminded that help is available from B.C.’s Smoking Cessation Program. “Quitting smoking can be the best thing you can do for your health as it will reduce health risks like cancer, heart disease and asthma,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “There are a range of supports in place through our Smoking Cessation Program, and accessing them can be as simple as calling 8-1-1.” Since the Smoking Cessation Program was launched on Sept. 30, 2011, 161,453 orders for nicotine replacement therapies have been placed through HealthLink BC. As well, over 45,000 people have obtained a prescription for a smoking cessation drug while visiting their physician for another reason. The program aims to help British Columbians stop smoking by assisting with the cost of smoking cessation aids. Once in each calendar year, B.C. residents enrolled with the Medical Services Plan can receive coverage for a single continuous course, lasting up to 12 weeks, of either a prescribed smoking cessation drug through the PharmaCare program or a free supply of nicotine replacement gum or patches. While a prescription for a smoking cessation drug can be obtained simply by visiting a physician

for another reason, the nicotine replacement therapies can be easily accessed by calling HealthLink BC at 8-1-1, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Smoking increases many health risks, including lung cancer, throat and oral cancer, heart disease, stroke and emphysema. For long-term smokers, it’s never a bad time to quit. By quitting smoking, British Columbians are taking active steps towards making the healthy choice, the easy

choice for themselves and their families. Quitting smoking and reducing exposure to second-hand smoke greatly improves both quality of life and lifespan. “There has never been a better time to quit smoking, with QuitNow offering a variety of tools that greatly complement the Smoking Cessation Program and help British Columbians to quit,” said BC Lung Association CEO Scott McDonald. “Choose to make a positive impact on

your health this holiday season. Cancer prevention depends on healthy living and healthy public policies,” said Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon, CEO Barbara Kaminsky. “I applaud British Columbians who have taken the important next step and chosen the Smoking Cessation Program.” British Columbians who register with the Smoking Cessation Program are able to receive further web, text and telephone support from QuitNow Services (‘QuitNow’),

which is operated by the BC Lung Association. HealthLink BC staff can also transfer callers directly to QuitNow. While B.C. has the lowest smoking rate in Canada at 14.3 per cent, there are still approximately 550,000 British Columbians who smoke. An estimated 70 per cent of smokers in B.C. want to quit.

Friday, January 4, 2013 Williams Lake Weekend

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

Is gas the enviro-villain of 2013? They’re well on the way to stopping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environmental machine turn on natural gas? A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pioneering of liquefied natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region. LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the Americandirected environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom. Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists, or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines. There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it was just a big forest deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table. How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60 million war chest from an obscure outfit called Tides Canada.

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wil-

berforce Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifically suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada. Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudgingly credited independent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with

filling in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these foundations began formally organizing against Canadian fossil fuel production. When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Tides and its backers have continued to fund and create new protest groups, which are quoted as they pop up by credulous B.C. media. Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy

but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus. Now we hear dire claims about the decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups are springing up to protest gas projects. Hollywood is about to gas us with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition.

ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money. Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia. I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Moving towards a waste free future JenNY HOWELL Special to the Tribune It was about a year ago that I first watched the movie ‘the Clean Bin project’, a documentary on zero waste by Vancouverites Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer. What made this film stand out from other environmentally themed movies was that neither Grant nor Jen come across as ‘earnest environmentalists’ but as mainstream 30 somethings, recognizing that society has to change, that they are part of that

change and then actually changing their own behaviour. If you are in that stage that many of us are in, knowing that you should be doing something, but not sure what, watching this movie is a good place to start. The film opens with two questions: ‘Do you think it is possible to not produce any garbage? ‘and ‘Could you go a year without buying any stuff?’ From the expressions of the ‘people on the street’ interviewed, you could see this was a new idea for many, and no one thought it

Where to go, what to do. Waste management Continued from A12

2. No producing garbage. 3. Take responsibility for waste (compost, recycle). Of course, they turn it into a competitionthe one with the least garbage at the end of the year wins. Following their year through the movie is informative, funny, concerning and ultimately inspirational. There are ideas along the way for whatever stage of reducing waste you are at. From re emphasizing composting (still the most effective thing you can do to reduce your garbage footprint) to suggestions for how to make recycling easier (Jen and Grant ended up with 10 small bins under their sink), most changes are relatively simple. Avoiding buying things we don’t need, and thinking about the packaging when we do buy something are the easiest ways to deal with garbage, -just not making it in the first place. Buying waste-free food was an issue for Jen, from her first day trying to buy cheese without plastic wrap to her deteriorating collection of reusable containers over the year. She came to appreciate Farmer’s markets for more than their ‘character’ and atmosphere, and see them

as part of something bigger- not only offering package free food, but understanding that the development of local food systems can reduce ‘global’ waste when taking into account oil based energy. The low spots of the year came when both Jen and Grant questioned whether their efforts were making any difference, and it is something I am sure we all wrestle with as we stand in line clutching our reusable bags amongst the acres of plastic around us. But I think everybody who does something instead of nothing is making a difference. This film has definitely had an impact in raising awareness of these issues and has been shown in many classrooms, towns and cities around Canada. It is part of the slow turn humanity is making, initiated primarily in North America from people rather than politicians. Municipalities are catching up, usu-

ally out of necessity rather than ethics, as garbage dumps are filling up. The term ‘zero waste’ is becoming commonplace instead of something out on the fringes. Jen and Grant ended their year with around 2 kg of garbage each. The City of Vancouver says that on average 900 kg of garbage is produced annually per capita, after recycling. Realistically, most of us are not going to make the effort that Jen and Grant did, but there is no reason we cannot get partway along the trail they have set. The end of the movie suggests we pick one thing to change and go from there. While I am a long way from making my own toothpaste and laundry soap as Jen did, I have picked two things that I am likely to stick to. A year ago I bought some small reusable produce bags for fruit and vegetables, but

never remember them when shopping, so will fix that. My second change is also simple-to flatten my food cans and milk jugs for recycling- apparently recycling trucks are full of intact containers, so we are paying to move around the air inside the containers and using many more trucks and fuel than necessary. It seems that once you make a few small changes, other changes tend to follow, so who knows, maybe I will progress to making my own toothpaste one day….

News

Resolve to eat healthier It’s the beginning of the New Year, and resolutions abound for many. Losing weight, exercising more frequently, and eating more healthfully are common goals. What if you could do all of the above and save a few dollars at the same time? This January, consider the following strategies from TOPS Club Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, to create flavourful, nutritious meals that won’t hurt your wallet. Eat In More and Out Less While they require more planning, homecooked meals are an excellent way to minimize your grocery bill, and they are typically healthier than the options you may find when dining out. • Double or triple your recipes and freeze leftovers in individual containers to eat throughout the week. • Make at least one meal a week meatless. Choose recipes that utilize beans (canned or dried) and grains, which add a boost of nutrition. Plan Ahead A meal planning chart or simple shopping list for the week are great tools for the budgetminded, health-conscious consumer. Knowing what you already have in the pantry and what you intend to make ahead of time reduces impulse spending, saves time, and improves the nutritional value of your meal. • Take part of one day a week to plan the upcoming week’s menu. Search “meal planning charts” online for a variety of templates and convenient shopping tools. Resolve to Eat Healthier – and Save Money, Too • Include meals that

Friday, January 4, 2013 Williams Lake Weekend

will “stretch” more expensive food items, like stews, casseroles, and stir-fries. • In addition to reviewing weekly store circulars in advance for sales, check the back of your grocery receipt for additional coupons. Also check online for coupons, simply by searching for the products that you use and visiting the manufacturers’ websites. Shop Smart In addition to shopping at grocery stores, consider local markets, dollar stores, and shopping online, if available in your neighbourhood. For the best deals at the market, look for reduced produce or end-of-theday specials. Many online grocery services offer discounted or free shipping if you spend a minimum amount, and you’ll be more inclined to stick to your list and avoid splurging on unnecessary purchases. Some other suggestions include: • Only shop once a week. This makes it easier to avoid unnecessary purchases and encourages you buy only what you need for the weekly menu. • Have a snack before you visit the grocery store. Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to impulse buying. • Shop alone, to prevent family members’ impulse selections from ending up in the shopping cart. • “Shop the perimeter” of the store, remembering that the least healthy and most overpriced packaged foods are concentrated in the middle aisles. • Look high and low (literally) on store shelves to find generic items from store brands, which are often less expensive than, but identical to, name-brand

items, which are placed at eye level on shelves. • Buying “economy” or “family size” containers is sometimes a better buy – if you truly eat all of the food in the package. If it spoils and has to be thrown away, it may just be a waste of money. Select large packages of meat, poultry, and fish, and place them in separate freezer bags at home for each meal.

Non-perishable items like canned food, cereal, soup, and nuts are a good choice. • Avoid purchasing “convenience” foods, like single-serving snacks, pre-cut fruits and vegetables, and instant rice. Buy a larger-sized container and portion out your own snacks, cut your own produce, and spend a few minutes cooking the rice.

AIR OF EDWARDIAN ELEGANCE This attractive three-bedroom home features a covered verandah that wraps around the front, one side and back, bordered by decorative wood columns and railings that lend an air of Edwardian elegance. The front door, surrounded by narrow glass panels, features a central oval window. To the right of the double-height foyer, through an archway, is the great room, separated from the dining room by another archway. Both rooms enjoy generous windows. The great room includes a gas fireplace, set into a corner to save space. The dining room’s french doors open out to the verandah, offering a perfect spot for al fresco dining. Another doorway, close to the kitchen, also leads to the verandah and a step down to the back garden. The kitchen is divided from the dining area by a large prep island, providing extra counter space as well as storage below. Natural light will flood through the window over the double sink. A walk-in pantry occupies space beneath the stairway to the second floor. Tucked into space behind the double garage are a two-piece powder room and the laundry room, as well as space for the furnace and water heater and a work-bench. The laundry room contains a closet for family gear, and handy coat hooks are installed on a nearby wall. Thanks to the doorway from the laundry room that leads to the back garden, this room can double as a mud room. Another doorway opens into the garage. Also on the main floor is a den, ideally located for use as a home office, and a coat closet. Upstairs, the master suite overlooks the front garden and

features its own covered balcony at one side, the ideal spot for morning coffee when the weather is pleasant. With plenty of windows, the master suite also includes a half wall, 42 inches high, that overlooks the foyer below. A walk-in closet will provide plenty of space for clothing and accessories. The ensuite includes a soaker tub with a tiled surround, as well as a shower stall and double sinks. The two secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bathroom. The linen cupboard is adjacent. On the stair landing is a computer desk. Ceilings are nine feet high throughout. Exterior finishes include horizontal wood siding and hexagonal wooden shingles in the gables, as well as painted trim.
