On Jan. 9 the Cariboo Regional District issued a Water Notice to residents in the Canim Lake area. The Notice applies to the following water supply system: Canim Lake Water System, Operating Permit Number 14-091-00001 and should be considered by all persons using water from the system. This Water Notice is being issued due to a contamination of the system; therefore, all users of the Canim Lake water system are asked to stop using the water for drinking, cooking and bathing immediately, as a safety precaution. The CRD has contacted Interior Health to request their cooperation in investigating this matter. During this time, an alternate water source will be available at the Forest Grove Fire Hall located at 4518 CanimHendrix Lake Road. Personal water jugs may be filled with water at the outside tap at the back of the fire hall. This Notice remains in effect unless and until another public notice is issued. For further information, please contact the CRD’s Environmental Services Department at 1-800-665-1636 or 250-392-3351 or Interior Health Authority at 250395-7676.
B.C. auditor-general out in May
TOM FLETCHER Black Press After shaking up the B.C. government’s financial affairs, Auditor General John Doyle will be replaced by a new financial watchdog when his six-year term expires at the end of May. Rules for the five-member MLA committee that appoints auditors require them to maintain secrecy on who didn’t support Doyle’s reappointment, which required unanimous support. NDP leader Adrian Dix said it’s clear it was one or more B.C. Liberal MLAs who voted against Doyle’s reappointment.
“This is clearly a bad decision, not one that the NDP supports, not one that I support,” Dix said Monday. Opposition MLAs cite Doyle’s reports criticizing the recent buildup of BC Hydro debt and the state of B.C.’s forest inventory in the wake of a devastating pine beetle epidemic as likely reasons why Doyle wasn’t reappointed. Doyle is also leading a court action seeking release of detailed defence lawyer billings for former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bobby Virk, whose $6 million in legal costs were covered by the province after they pleaded guilty
to breach of trust in the 2002 sale of BC Rail operations. Dix called Monday for Premier Christy Clark to intervene and ask the MLA committee to reconsider its decision to hire a new auditor. A spokesman for the premier quickly ruled that option out. Ben Chin, Clark’s communications director, said Clark has maintained a policy of not interfering in legislative committees, such as a cosmetic pesticide committee that disagreed with her call for a ban. “You can’t send the committee back to work because you don’t like the conclusion they reach,” Chin said. Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric
Come! Get to know us. Call today to schedule a personal visit 250.305.1131 williamslakeseniorsvillage.com
Foster, who chairs the selection committee, said there were no “marching orders” given to B.C. Liberal MLAs by the caucus or the premier. Foster refused to comment further, citing strict confidentiality rules around personnel decisions such as the employment of the auditor. The other B.C. Liberal committee members are Chilliwack MLA John Les and Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom, both of whom are retiring in May. The NDP members of the committee are Surrey-Whalley MLA Bruce Ralston and Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis.

NEWS
School District 27 provides update The Board of Education has released a media release containing information on the following: • New reports revealing public input gathered during the public consultation process • Clarifying information surrounding school closures • Board still welcomes public input The Board of Educa-
tion of School District No. 27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin) is pleased to have been able to partner with Thoughtstream, a software company that provided their online community learning tool as well as unbiased facilitation for the Initial Options Report public consultation process. Throughout the process Thoughtstream recorded 4,474 thoughts, with
18,487 stars assigned to priorities. Thoughtstream has created a website specifically for the District summarizing all that has been heard from the public during the months since the Initial Options Report was released on Sept. 25, 2012. Full consultation reports can also be found here. You can find the web-
site at http://sd27website.thoughtstream. ca/ or the link may be found with Initial Options Report - Summary of Public Input. The Board has also updated its Frequently Asked Questions link on the District website in order to provide more information as to why individual schools have been slated for possible closure. While
the Board has consistently cited this list of rationale in both the Initial Options Report and in public meetings over the last few months, it became apparent that it would be most transparent to restate the rationale in writing on the website. “The Board doesn’t want there to be any confusion in the public as to why individual
schools have been proposed for closure,” says Will VanOsch, Chair of the Board of Education. The Board of Education is welcoming feedback from the public until January 22nd. Members of the public can continue to write letters, submit e-mails or speak at the two upcoming public meetings. The Board meets
again on Tuesday, January 15th at 6:30 p.m. at the School District Office in Williams Lake to continue to discuss possible school closures and reconfiguration. The Board is expected to make final decisions at the Public Board Meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the School District Office in Williams Lake.
Skills tests could change in 2013: Minister TOM FLETCHER Black Press All students in Grade 4 and 7 who are able to are expected to write tests of literacy and math skills this month, but changes will be considered for future years, B.C. Education Minister Don McRae says. Long opposed by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the Foundation Skills Assessment tests are being administered in public schools
across B.C. The issue is sure to be debated in this spring’s provincial election, as the NDP campaigns to scrap universal testing and look for a new way to evaluate student performance. McRae said Wednesday there will be no change to the program this school year, with students only excused due to family emergency, illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. But he said he is open
to discussing the program with the BCTF, school administrators and parents for years ahead. “Any time we have a form of assessment, I think it’s really important that after you give it, if you’re going to give it again, you continually look at it to see if it can be done better or more efficiently, and meet the needs of the students, the parents and the educational system,” McRae said. NDP education critic
Robin Austin said work is underway with education experts to refine the party’s position on skills testing. If the NDP forms a government in May’s election, the plan is to replace province-wide tests with a random sample of students, and develop a new program later. Austin said one of the problems with FSA testing is the annual controversy over the Fraser Institute school rankings based on test scores. The rankings are
intended to help parents track their local school performance over time, but media attention typically focuses on comparing schools in rich neighbourhoods and poor ones. The BCTF continues to urge parents to bend the rules and pull their children out of the testing program. A letter to parents on the BCTF website argues that FSA tests are expensive, time consuming and “results are misused to rank schools and pro-
mote privatization.” McRae said FSA test results for all students have played a role in identifying students who need extra help, and can also help administrators spot performance problems in their schools. But he agreed with Austin that it would not be appropriate to use FSA tests alone to evaluate teacher performance. As a former teacher, McRae said one of his concerns about FSA is
the timing. If they are going to continue to be used, the tests should be administered in the fall so teachers and parents have the results in time to work with students later in the school year, he said. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, has expressed concerns about doing away with universal tests, because they can help schools improve results for aboriginal students.

If you are one of those people who always puts off seeing your doctor for a check-up, do it now. It’s human nature to shrug off a little health problem thinking it will go away soon and you don’t want to bother the doctor about “every little thing” but it could be the start of a big thing. Make that appointment soon.

One of the first columns of the year traditionally contains some information about healthy resolutions to make. Rather than listing the common ones (we all know what they are!) it’s good to remind you to set realistic goals, not make too many resolutions and set a deadline to achieve those goals. Writing them down so you can see them every day is another good idea. Good luck!

Another idea that helps your doctor during these check-ups is to be familiar with your family history. Take time to look into what your close relatives’ health was like and what they may have died from. Some diseases are hereditary and knowing your family health history will help your doctor help you. Pharmacists are a great resource you can use on your path to good health. We’d be happy to help you with your health goals. Have a happy and healthy New Year!

The tree, the Wii and me I was in a life-threatening Wii accident over Christmas. I want to blame it on the weather and the oil patch. For more than a decade I have got my daily winter exercise by going for a walk down our quiet rural road. Our group mailbox is located a mile away making it a perfect destination for our little dog and me. Only in the nastiest of weather do I turn instead to our Wii Fitness game for a workout. Cosmo does not approve. I don’t blame her. No matter how glorious the graphics nothing compares with getting outside in the real thing. I love the sun on my face, the birds overhead and checking out animal tracks in the snow. Cosmo loves the sun on her fur, sniffing tracks and, well, peeing. With a country walk, each day is a new adventure. You never know what you might come across. And the fresh air is invigorating. Or at least that’s how it used to be. Over the past few years the shale gas exploration has turned our quiet country road into a busy thoroughfare. Only a few years ago if I went for a walk and encountered more than two vehicles it was unusual. If we came across a semi it got a mention at supper. Now it’s just the opposite. If I manage the two mile walk without meeting more than two
SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON
vehicles it’s unusual. And if we make it without encountering a semi it’s cause for conversation. When all those trucks – big and small – are going in opposite directions it can be a bit daunting. Country roads don’t have sidewalks. In the winter they barely have shoulders. There are times where it feels as if Cosmo and I are trying to go for a stroll down the middle of a freeway. And the diesel fuelled air is far from fresh. This year it’s not just the traffic, though that certainly is part of it. We’ve also had record shattering snowfalls. All of this has translated into short walks with Cosmo up and down the driveway and me reacquainting myself with our Wii Fit program. Ah, Wii Fit. It’s a cheeky little program with a rectangular platform you can stand on (though you don’t stand on it for some of the activities such as running) offering exercises for balance, strength and aerobics. I am decidedly unbal-
anced prompting Wii to ask if I have trouble tying my shoes or tripping when I walk. Fortunately that’s only during the weigh in and daily body test where you find out your Wii Fit Age. The trainers are kinder. In fact, I think I might have a tiny crush on mine. He smiles encouragingly and gently says, “Your core muscles are a little weaker than they should be. But I can help you with that.” And the way he says it, I believe. Even when I wobble about like a drunken penguin the worst I get is, “You put your foot down didn’t you?” But he says it so kindly I know he still has faith in me. You might think having an accident while doing mock activities like running, bicycling or hula hooping on the spot in the middle of one’s living room would be difficult. I made it look easy. In fact I wasn’t even doing Wii Fit when I had the Wii Fit accident. Instead I was putting the final touches on the Christmas tree. I had just settled the angel on her perch and stepped back to admire my handiwork, at which point I backed into the Wii board I had left on the floor. While Cosmo watched in amazement I came completely unbalanced, my arms wind milling frantically. For awhile it was a gamble whether I would
do a face plant in the tree or fall backwards smashing into the TV. One second I was clawing at the ornaments, the next I was tilting violently in the opposite direction. At any moment I was going fall into a pile of glass and twigs, or smash my head open on the TV stand. To my great surprise (and relief) I did neither. Instead, I managed to do a sort of pirouette and regain my balance. That never would have happened if it wasn’t for my newfound
WILLIAMS LAKE CENTRAL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA ASSOCIATION
core muscles from faithfully doing balance games every day. Of course, it never would have happened if I didn’t have to resort to the Wii game for exercise in the first place. Lesson learned; it’s important to have good balance. It’s also important to put your toys away when you’re finished playing. Shannon McKinnon is a weekly humour columnist from Northern BC.

BC SPCA Paw Prints When considering your New Year’s resolutions for 2013, why not make your furry friends part of your plans? The BC SPCA offers some ideas on New Year’s resolutions for animal lovers: 1. Walk! Get yourself and your dog off the couch and into the outdoors. Most dogs need walking at least twice daily to stay healthy and you will benefit too. If you don’t have a dog, why not volunteer to walk dogs at your local shelter? 2. ID your pet. The SPCA reunites thousands of lost animals with their families every year. Many animals are never claimed, however, and must be adopted into new homes because they have no identification. Make sure your pets have ID tags on their collar and a microchip or tattoo, and keep the information updated. 3. Take part in National Cupcake Day on Feb. 25. Help end animal cruelty one cupcake at a time. The money you raise baking and dis-
tributing cupcakes by donation will help the BC SPCA rescue, re-home and provide emergency services for injured and abandoned animals in B.C. Get involved by registering online at nationalcupcakeday.ca. 4. It’s Hip to Snip. Help spread the word about the crucial importance of spaying or neutering pets – or make a donation to your local shelter to help with spay/neuter programs. Thousands of unwanted animals are born in B.C. each year – often with tragic consequences. 5. Don’t Shop – Adopt! If you are considering getting a new pet make the SPCA or another animal shelter your first adoption option. Avoid buying pets from online sites — you may be supporting puppy mills by buying this way. 6. Make humane food choices. Commit to purchasing foods raised according to high standards of animal welfare. Look for SPCA Certified products in the meat and dairy sections of your grocery
store. You can find out where to buy SPCA Certified products at spca.bc.ca. 7. Sign up for the BC SPCA Kids Club. Connect the young animal lovers in your life with other likeminded youth through an annual BC SPCA Kids Club membership ($15). 8. Make the Switch. Switch the toxic ethylene glycol antifreeze in your vehicle to petfriendly propylenebased antifreeze. 9. Donate your time or money. Help a homeless or wild animal get the care they need. The BC SPCA’s priority funds let you choose which program or service to support, including cruelty investigations, shelter-
ing, wildlife rehabilitation, education and advocacy. Or give of yourself – the BC SPCA simply could not function without the help of our 4,000 amazing volunteers across the province. 10. Sign up! Sign up for the 2013 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk in your community this September and help us raise urgently needed funds for abused, homeless, neglected and injured animals. Visit spca.bc.ca for more information on these resolutions and other ways you can make a life-saving difference for animals. Lorie Chortyk General Manager, Community Relations BC SPCA

Where to go, what to do. Astronomers at Nature Centre Jan. 26 Local Astronomers Lynn & Steve Capling will guide this evening of star gazing for all levels. Bring your telescope or binoculars if you have them. Dress warmly for lying in the snow and no headlamps or flashlights please If very cold or overcast the event will be cancelled. FREE family event. January 26, 6-8 p.m. at Scout Island Nature House. Phone 398-8532 or 250.855.8443 or email mmmforbes@yahoo.ca The following films will be shown at the Williams Lake library Payback Directed by Jennifer Baichwal Based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling book Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, Jennifer Baichwal’s feature documentary Payback offers a fascinating look at debt as a mental construct and traces how it influences relationships, societies, governing structures and even the fate of the planet. The film explores the link
between debtor and creditor in a variety of contexts and places. Stories and insights are woven together by the prescient and acute observations of Atwood herself, who demonstrates both that the concept of debt lies at the very core of human experience. Wednesday January 16th, 7 p.m., – Library program room Vanishing Point Directed by Stephen A. Smith and Julia Szucs A dog team pulls an Inughuit family across the vast sea ice of Greenland. But with the terrain melting beneath them, the dogs break through the surface, plunging into frigid polar waters. Navarana, an elder and one of the passengers on this sled, is coming to terms with the unprecedented changes facing all Arctic peoples. In the 1860s, Navarana’s visionary ancestor— a shaman from Baffin Island, Canada, named Qitdlarssuaq—embarked on a legendary and epic journey, leading an Inuit migration
to Greenland. Over 150 years later, Navarana travels to her ancestor’s homeland to connect with her distant Canadian cousins. Wednesday February 20th, 7 p.m. - Library Program room Status Quo: The Unfinished Business of Feminism in Canada Directed by Karen Cho In comprehensive and clear-minded fashion, the film breaks it down into key issues: reproductive rights, violence against women, child care, etc... Archival and recent interviewees include Adrienne Clarkson, Henry Morgentaler and a number of prominent politicians and feminist thinkers. Not surprisingly, this look at the history of the women’s movement in Canada concludes that the
struggle is even greater today, at a time when government concern over economic challenges seems to take precedence over progressive social issues. Wednesday March 20th, 7 p.m. - Library Program room Who Cares Directed by Rosie Dransfeld Award-winning master of vérité cinema, Rosie Dransfeld enters the gritty and dangerous world of Edmonton’s sex trade workers to craft a powerful new film about women caught in a heartbreaking cycle of addiction, violence and prostitution. Courtney, known as the “prostitute from 107th Avenue,” struggles to stay clean; Shelly takes care of everyone but herself when she’s not on crystal meth; and Nancy, a sweet young girl,

A real hero for aboriginal people The century-old plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More. As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague. One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land. A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case. Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal community. This change was initiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history. His name is Ron Derrickson, and he served six terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna. One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Commission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid-1980s. There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful. He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits, and established a bunch of enterprises, including Canada’s first water slide. The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away, and now an appeal court judge. Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day. He was packing a semiautomatic pistol, having
B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER
demanded and received a carry permit after a brutal attempt on his life. The hit man, an ex-cop, was hired by people who
didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile home parks. He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar. Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison. Derrickson testified that his approach to the Indian Affairs bureaucracy was simple. He did business, and if they didn’t like it, they could tell him. Reserve land can’t be sold, so he
leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan. His business plan was also simple. Drive to California and see what they’re doing. Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in Canadian Business magazine describes how he came by his approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an
Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong.
Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

This past week I was speaking with a stranger who recognized my picture in this column. In our discussion I mentioned that over this past year there have been several occasions when someone mentioned they recognized me because of this column. In most cases, the comment was made after they had done business with me and observed me. It made me conscious of the fact that others watch, they observe; and if one claims to be a Christian, they watch to see if you really live up to what you preach. Knowing that is a good motivator for good behaviour! But is that a good enough reason to practice good behaviour? Is the fact that others are watching the reason that Christians do certain acts, perform certain rituals, obey the law? What drives Christian behaviour? Perhaps the motivator is the same one my Christian friend related. Every time he went out as a teenager, his dad would remind him, “Remember that God is watching every move you make.” This was a great reminder of a truth – God is watching all the time because he loves and cares for his children. But what my friend inferred and what sticks with him even today is the idea that God is
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO sitting in heaven with a pad and pencil, writing down each sinful act, keeping score, so to speak. It filled him with a fear that he would fail, that punishment would be rained down on him for his failing grade. Fear became, and remains, his motivator for good Christian behaviour. Others live in obedience because they anticipate rewards and blessings if they do. Good behaviour results in greater blessings. God rewards those who obey. Fear is also involved in this motivator because the opposite of blessing is punishment.
Any student of the Scriptures will be quick to point out that these motivators are referred to in the Bible. Scripture does speak about God requiring an accounting of every idle word and a revealing of every deed done in life (Matthew 12:36, Revelation 20:13). Scripture also says that we will be blessed if we obey God (John 13:17, James 1:25). But are these the motivators that should encourage good Christian behaviour and obedience? If not, then what should be the motivator? I believe the answer is found in John 14:21, 23-24. It is summed up in one word - LOVE. Remove punishment and reward from the equation and true Christians would still be obedient to the teachings of Jesus. Simply because we love him; simply because we worship him. Love does not operate on the basis of fear nor on the basis of reward. Love simply operates – at all times, in all circumstances, in all situations. Love for Jesus is the only acceptable motivator for Christian obedience to Jesus! What motivates you to obey, to model proper Christian behaviour? If it is not love and only love, perhaps you should take another look at your relationship with Jesus.

32nd Anniversary of Bentall Tragedy sparks calls for stronger safety measures Last year 32 construction workers were killed in British Columbia. The BC Building Trades and B.C. Federation of Labour renewed their call for stronger safety measures in the construction industry. The call came at the annual memorial held to mark the deaths of four Vancouver construction workers who plunged to their deaths when a fly form collapsed at the 36th floor of the Bentall Centre Tower IV building in 1981. “This year 17 construction workers died of exposures and 15 died due to trauma – every single death was preventable,” said Tom Sigurdson, Executive Director of the BC Building Trades. “Since the Bentall tragedy, 834 construction workers have died in B.C., yet employers are still putting workers lives at risk.”
Last week, Richmond-based disposal company, Mr. Bin Disposal, was fined $70,000 by a Provincial Court judge for illegally accepting and storing asbestos. When WorkSafeBC investigated in 2011, they found that none of the employees were seen to be wearing personal protection such as face masks with air filters, according to the court documents. B.C. Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair joined Sigurdson in calling for key changes
to make construction worksites safer, including improvements to job site training, enforced training of supervisors, and a cultural shift with respect to the duty to refuse unsafe work. “Employers should be encouraging their workers to refuse and report unsafe work, not discouraging them as many now do”, Sinclair said. “We also need to see the expansion of the health and safety rights to cover workers who are employed by small construction firms.”
More than 90 percent of construction businesses are small firms that employ fewer than 20 people. These employees have no rights under the Work-

Celebrate with some new
Cariboo Festival entry deadline The Cariboo Festival committee hopes 2013 will have many festival entries. Adjudicators for all the disciplines are already booked. The piano adjudicator is coming from Surrey, vocal, band and speech arts adjudicators are coming from Prince George and Creative writing adjudication will be from Smithers. The month of April
will be the month of all the disciplines to be performing and critiqued. An Honours Concert will wrap up the Festival highlighting many performances. The deadline to entry all disciplines is Feb. 12, 2013. Creative writing works enter on the Feb. 12 deadline as well but have till Mar. 15 to submit a completed manuscript.
REALTOR TIPS Redecorating ideas on a small budget • Rearrange furniture and paint can dramatically change the look of a room. • By using colour tones, you can open up small spaces with light colours, and warm up a room with tones of red, orange or yellow. An access wall can create a great focal point; try a colour such as a rust red! Keep in mind, the darker the tones, the more coats of paint you will need. • Add new paint to coffee or end tables can freshen up a room, and try rearranging furniture in a curve rather than at right angles, this appears more inviting. Rearrange your wall art as well by creating unique groupings of different size frames, or for a sleek look create a row of identically sized and framed pieces of art.
The Festival Committee looks forward to many entries in all the disciplines.
Get your Syllabus free of charge at the Open Book and see where you can enter.

Tips from The CrD
Carbon monoxide safety
Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide. •
• • • • • •
•
• • •
• •
CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height. Choose a CO alarm that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory. Call your local fire department’s non-emergency number to find out what number to call if the CO alarm sounds. Test CO alarms at least once a month; replace them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the audible trouble signal sounds, check for low batteries. If the battery is low, replace it. If it still sounds, call the fire department. If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel. If you need to warm a vehicle, remove it from the garage immediately after starting it. Do not run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not covered with snow. During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace are clear of snow build-up. A generator should be used in a well-ventilated location outdoors away from windows, doors and vent openings. Gas or charcoal grills can produce CO — only use outside. FACTS A person can be poisoned by a small amount of CO over a longer period of time or by a large amount of CO over a shorter amount of time. In 2005, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 61,100 nonfire CO incidents in which carbon monoxide was found, or an average of seven calls per hour.

News “A Miracle”
My mother came into the world to shine through a cataclysmic birth process in 1920. She was one of a set of twins, her existence unbeknownst to doctors or her mother until she arrived. The first twin had been born about three months earlier and no one realized that there was another baby still alive until my grandmother gave birth. Not thinking such a fetus could have survived the earlier loss of her twin, doctors yanked my mother out very roughly, focusing on my grandmother who was close to death, herself. Hence, my mother was born very deformed and unable to move one side.
CORNER STORIES COLLEEN CROSSLEY
The entire length of her left side was shifted down from the right side, as if it had slid and dropped away. But, she was alive, by a miracle. My grandmother immediately took her into hiding and would not allow anyone, even her three brothers or her father, to see her for a full year. During that time, she
massaged and exercised my mother’s twisted body back into shape. My uncle often spoke about the first time he saw my mom. He said she was “the most beautiful, very happy, blond baby” and she became the angel of the house. Somehow, in the middle of the Depression, the family ensured that she had everything she needed as she grew up to develop her weaker side – piano lessons, gymnastics, even a music degree and a degree to teach Phys. Ed.! She was always a remarkably charismatic person throughout her life. She had a quality that drew people to her. Even those who disagreed with her views,
respected and recognized her abilities. She was an astute politician and a tireless volunteer, unlike any other. She led a musical group of volunteers and fundraisers for 40-plus years and became a legend in our town. To acknowledge her contributions, a park was dedicated to her just a few months before she passed away. She had a special way of making one feel like the most important person in her life. I always felt that special attention she gave so willingly and that was all that mattered to me and the many, many people she came in contact with. She was a miracle to us, for sure!

Females tagged in wasp mating game The flick of an antenna may be how a male wasp lays claim to his harem, according to new research at Simon Fraser University. A team of biologists, led by former PhD graduate student Kelly Ablard, found that when a male targeted a female, he would approach her from the left side, and once in range, uses the tip of his antenna to tap her antenna. Ablard suggests the act transfers a yet unidentified specimenspecific pheromone onto the female’s antenna that marks the female as “out of bounds,” or “tagged.”
The tagging-pheromone helps a male relocate the females he tagged, and deters nontagging males from approaching tagged females. Males who tag females are much quicker courters than their competitors, and thus are likely in better condition physically, Ablard notes. “It is the first male to encounter a female that is likely perceived by females to be high-quality,” she says. “Tagged females’ avoidance behaviour of ‘unfamiliar’ males suggests that tagged females attain a fitness advantage.” The research, pub-
lished in the journal Behavioural Processes, was carried out in a biology lab at SFU over the past several years. Ablard, who defended her thesis in December and is set to receive her degree this spring, earlier studied olfactory communication in the slender and slow loris, a small nocturnal primate found in southern India and throughout southeast Asia, respectively. Simon Fraser University is Canada’s topranked comprehensive university and one of the top 50 universities in the world under 50 years old. With campuses in Vancouver,
Burnaby and Surrey, B.C., SFU engages actively with the community in its research and teaching, delivers almost 150 programs to more than 30,000 students, and has more than 120,000 alumni in 130 countries.

DRAMATIC SLOPED CEILING A wealth of charming details, including a large arched window in the great room and a generous U-shaped sundeck with a special area for the barbecue, makes this recreation home a winner. Entry is up a few stairs and through a covered porch into a compact foyer with a convenient coat closet. Beyond the foyer is the spacious kitchen, which includes a pantry. The kitchen is separated from the dining room by a countertop that doubles as an eating bar. Part of the kitchen/dining area features a double-height ceiling. Thanks to the open plan, the cook will be able to keep an eye on activities in both the dining room and the great room, through a trio of archways set off by decorative posts. The great room’s high sloped ceiling adds drama. Both the dining room, which boasts an optional builtout buffet, and the great room, enjoy access to the sizeable sundeck, enlarging the living area considerably in warm weather. For chilly evenings, the great room’s wood-burning fireplace will provide a focal point for both guests and family members. A stairway in a corner of the kitchen leads to the second floor, where the large master suite features a walk-in closet and an ensuite that includes a corner shower. The second and third bedrooms are separated by a threepiece bathroom with a tub. There’s a handy linen closet nearby. Both bedrooms feature windows with extra-deep sills.
Back on the ground floor, a doorway from the single garage leads to a mud room and a storage cupboard. A powder room is located nearby. Exterior finishes include wood shakes and river-rock accents, as well as siding and painted trim. The stone pilasters supporting the verandah create a shady patio at the back, which could double as off-season storage for summer furniture. This home measures 33 feet, 10 inches wide and 61 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,828 square feet. Plans for design 10-3-212 are available for $664 (set of 5), $745 (set of 8) and $792 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..

In loving memory of an Eccentric English Gentleman It is with great sadness that the family of Michael Halsall announces his passing, on January 3, 2013 at the age of 87 years. Born June 30, 1925 in Bridgetown, Barbados, British West Indies of English parents, ten minutes before his identical twin brother Tony (Miles Anthony, predeceased). Michael’s school years were spent in Britain. Despite being underage, Mickey and Tony joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the war hoping to become aircrew, pilots-observers or air gunners. The twins were not successful in becoming pilots during the war but Michael always maintained his keen interest in aviation and in 1960 earned his pilot’s license. Later he even began building a two seat side-by-side aircraft in his living room and at age 69 went parachuting! Mickey immigrated to Canada in 1955 moving initially to Vancouver. In 1957 he and a friend went prospecting for minerals in the Yukon for four months. He finally settled in Williams Lake where he had a varied career, first working at the newspaper, then sharing ownership of Progressive Printers and later working in a planer mill until his retirement. Remembered in his community for his volunteer work with the Tetra Society, Michael used his creative talents and skills to make life easier for people with disabilities by custom designing and building assistive devices to improve their quality of life. One of his first projects was building a frame to hold electronic drums for a woman who could only move her right leg and couldn’t speak, “I got a bunch of samples and asked her what colour she wanted. She smiled at the colour she wanted and her eyes lit up. Now she’s bashing away on those drums every chance she gets�. Mickey would never accept money for the cost of materials, “Many of these people are on fixed incomes and they just can’t afford it. My reward is the challenge of designing and building the projects and the satisfaction of helping others�. An endearing eccentric, Mickey will be remembered for his unorthodox views, “I do not believe in a biblical God but I do believe in U.F.O’s� as well as his love of old English pubs and animals but most of all Mickey will be remembered for his kind, kind heart and his generous child-like spirit. Michael will be lovingly remembered by his children Christopher (Linda) and Georgina (Bernard), by Myrna, his granddaughters Tess and Sandrine, his sister-in-law Anne and her children Pam (Gordon) and Barry (Helen), his great niece Sarah and his numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and his countless “damn fine friends�. A visitation will be held Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 1:00pm at Foster and McGarvey Sherwood Park Mill Woods Chapel, Edmonton. www.fostermcgarvey.com Those who desire may make memorial donations in memory of Mickey to the SPCA.

Our team has a 10 year track record & several thousand customers that have come from the company.
YOU TOO CAN ENJOY SUCCESS!! Nobody starts a business from home with the intent of failing. I know that. Yet 9 out of 10 do not continue, and of those that do, very few are truly successful. Like so many, I gave up. But what would you do if you heard of a business model like this? Consider. This business has no store location, no inventory, no shipping, no office overhead, no staff, no territory, no selling, creates cash flow quickly, and with excellent return on the dollar. It also solves the Home Entrepreneur’s biggest problem. What is that? Finding customers! The company makes customers available to Independent Business owners. The company does the advertising and we share that cost - so it’s a 100% advertising expense. As long as they shop, you get a commission. And by the way, 90% of the income to the company is from customers. The company takes orders, ships to customers and delivers catalouges and magazines to our customers at no cost to us. We have access to a professional Business Services Team for any support needed. I am enjoying business success because of being able to partner with the company in the acquisition of customers and with others of like mind, and similar bigger-than-average goals. Now you know what I did. What will you do? Call me.

The new app, which is being unveiled today, takes it a step further, matching the runner’s footsteps to a musical tempo, cued to a runner’s song playlist. “It feels like your favourite band is right there with you, timing their kick drum to drive you faster and further,” Snaterse says.
