The 100 Mile House Little Britches Rodeo is a definite “go” for May 18, but as it stands, there will be no parade. That is, unless volunteers come forward to take the reins and organize it. South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce executive director Angela Cole says the chamber does not have the resources to do it, and while 100 Mile & District Outriders Club hosts the rodeo, club president Mike Kidston says they don’t have enough manpower to take charge of the parade. “The Outriders are stretched to organize just the rodeo and we’ll need lots of help on the Mike weekend.” kidston Kidston notes he would like to see more volunteers step forward to help at Little Britches, especially members of rodeo families who know the ropes. “I don’t see the same ranching community involvement anymore.” Little Britches will be followed by the South Cariboo Rodeo Association Rough Stock Rodeo which is slated for May 19-20 and both events take place at the Outriders Arena, located behind the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. Kidston says the grounds will have a new look as Outriders club members have been renovating the stock holding pen area, replacing the old structures with new metal pens.

Tips offered to parents and caregivers

Parents and caregivers need to remember to keep poisons out of reach of children. Each year, more than 25,000 poisonings are reported to the BC Drug and Poison Information Centre (DPIC) and nearly half of these involve children. Toddlers between the ages of one to three years have the highest rate of poisoning. The most common “poisons” affecting children are cleaning

substances, pain and fever medications, vitamins, and plants. The most serious are medications belonging to adults or older children, especially prescription pain killers, sedatives, and medicine for diabetes or heart disease. Once-a-day gradualrelease medications can be especially lethal for children. Children investigate purses or backpacks and may find medicines in zip-lock bags or daily

Housing sales up in Cariboo The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported 900 sales with a value of $212,173,760 through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in the first quarter of 2013. This compares with 1,002 sales worth $220,464,326 to the end of March 2012. As of March 31, there were 3,815 properties of all types available for purchase through the MLS® compared to 3842 at this time last year. BCNREB president Gisela Janzen says the housing markets in the communities throughout the BCNREB continued to perform at a modest pace throughout the first quarter of 2013. “Continuing low mortgage interest rates combined with lower prices have improved affordability in some areas. Potential buyers who have stayed on the sidelines will likely enter the market place in a typical spring and summer market throughout the North,” the 100 Mile House realtor explains. Cariboo Region (2012 values appear in brackets) 100 Mile House and area: A total of 49 (38) properties of all types worth $9.8 million ($6.7 million) have been sold by realtors in the area since the beginning of the year. In addition to the 15 single-family homes that sold, 10 parcels of vacant land and 12 homes on acreage changed hands so far this year.

dosette containers. In some cases parents assume children can’t open “c h i l d - p r o o f ” caps when, in fact, caps on pill bottles are actually “childresistant” and children can open them with enough time. Grandparents need to remember to keep their medications out of sight and out of reach of children and to remove their medications from purses and luggage when they visit a grandchild’s home. Studies have shown that grandparents’ medications are involved in 10-20 per cent of poisonings in young children. If you think your

child has been exposed to a medication or chemical, call DPIC’s Poison Control Centre at 604-682-5050 or 1-800-567-8911. DPIC is a program of the BC Centre for Disease Control.

BC Small Business Accord released

After extensive consultation with the small business community, Minister of State for Small Business Naomi Yamamoto and British Columbia Chamber of Commerce president and CEO John Winter unveiled the finalized BC Small Business Accord (BCSBA) recently. In October 2012, the B.C. Liberal government announced it would create the BCSBA to establish a list of priorities to make B.C. the most businessfriendly jurisdiction in Canada. A consultation period was launched to determine guiding principles that should be included in the accord, and more than 35,000 people provided feedback through community meetings, an online survey and the #BCBizChat Twitter town hall. On Feb. 5, 2013, a BCSBA forum, made up of 15 business owners/operators from various regions and sectors around B.C., used the feedback from the consultation period to determine the accord principles and establish action items for the provincial government. The BCSBA contains the following principles: • Consider the needs and impacts of small businesses in policy and program decisions to enhance business certainty, access to qualified labour, access to capital and technology adoption. • Foster a regulatory environment that small business can access, navigate and influence effectively and efficiently. • Design provincial government programs and resources affect-

The BC Small Business Accord forum’s action items for the provincial government are: • Develop a Small Business Awareness Strategy. • Encourage provincial/municipal collaboration in the adoption of the BC Small Business Accord principles. • Develop a Mobile Training Program for Remote Communities

so they will be better able to access skills training and qualified labour. • Reduce barriers to government’s procurement process. • Support an Integrated Small Business Mentoring Program. • Support additional skills training. The province already has taken initial steps to address the action items, including the following: • Provide incentive for local governments by establishing a $10,000 award for up to 20 municipalities that can best demonstrate they are operating within the spirit of the accord principles. • Appoint a senior official to consult directly with small business owners to identify barriers to accessing provincial government procurement opportunities, develop recommendations to remove those

barriers and report back to government within six months. • Develop a mobile trainers program under which trainers will travel to communities to provide skills training and certification using existing equipment in colleges and industry during times when that equipment is idle. The BCSBA is a living document and will evolve to meet the ongoing needs of small business. The provincial government will continue to engage small business owners and operators on Twitter through #BCBizChat or #SmallBizBC and through the BC Small Business Roundtable. Fast Bytes • Small business is a key economic driver in B.C. with 98 per cent of all businesses being small businesses. • The small business sector provides nearly 56 per cent of

all private-sector jobs, employs more than one million people and generates 29 per cent of the provincial GDP. • B.C. is the first government in Canada to enshrine in law the requirement to publish annual reports about regulatory reform, and have reduced regulatory requirements by more than 42 per cent since 2001. • B.C. was the only province to receive an A from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in 2013 for cutting red tape.

Clark to air half-hour TV talk Belly Dance

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The BC Liberal Party is buying a half-hour on TV next Sunday night, so Premier Christy Clark can make her pitch for re-election directly to voters. The program will air April 14 at 7 p.m. on Global TV, two days before the formal election campaign begins for the May 14 vote. It will emphasize the economy and include testimonials from community leaders, said Mike McDonald, the B.C. Liberal campaign manager. “It is also a matter

of basic respect for voters to outline our priorities and policies,” McDonald said.

“We hope the NDP will change course and do the same.” NDP Leader Adrian

Dix has indicated he will roll out his party’s election platform in a series of announcements, an apparent effort to maximize media coverage. Clark has tied her campaign to the government’s heavily promoted jobs plan, putting the party at the mercy of volatile federal employment statistics. After a surge of new jobs reported in February, there was an equally steep plunge in the March numbers, pushing British Columbia’s official unemployment rate from 6.3 per cent to seven. Clark has also

emphasized her commitment to develop liquefied natural gas exports from the B.C. North Coast, a project that has attracted global investment. Spending and deficits are another focus of the campaign. The B.C. Liberals tabled a balanced budget in March, which the NDP claim has understated spending and overstated revenues to the tune of a $790 million deficit.

Along with avoiding high risk foods, such as raw or unpasteurized dairy products, pasteurized soft cheeses and non-dried deli meats, four easy steps can help protect both you and your baby: • Clean your hands, kitchen surfaces, cutting boards and reusable grocery bags frequently and thoroughly with warm soapy water. Wash raw food, such as fruits and vegetables, under cool water. • Separate all raw foods, such as meat, poultry, fish and shellfish, from ready-to-eat

Most pregnant women pay careful attention to their health during pregnancy by eating right, getting adequate rest and taking prenatal vitamins. However, it is just as important to take the right steps to protect yourself and your unborn baby from food-borne illness. Pregnant women are at greater risk of getting sick from food that is improperly handled or cooked. This is because pregnancy weakens the immune system, making expectant mothers vulnerable to certain bacteria, viruses, and other harmful parasites. Bacteria can also cross the placenta and infect an unborn baby, whose immune system is not

Community forest, West Fraser provide fibre and training the 100 Mile House area are in the 100 Mile House Community Forest and the District of 100 Mile House councillors were supportive of combining the logging of the timber licence with the training of the logging students through TRU. Students received training on all the pieces of equipment that would be found on most log-

ging sites, including the faller-buncher, skidder, delimber, bulldozer, loader and excavator. West Fraser Mills personnel have assisted in laying out the logging block boundaries, giving pre-logging training sessions in the classroom, calculating trucking times for the logging trucks, supervising log quality and other on-

site activities, as well as participating in safety training. In addition to the logging students, several logging truck drivers in the TRU programs have been trained by local truck drivers.

It has been very rewarding to see some of the participating students secure jobs in the forest industry. Kelly Powell is West Fraser Mill’s operations forester in 100 Mile House.

WEEK OF APRIL 14 TO APRIL 20, 2013

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, take time to sort through some of the paperwork on your desk. You could find there is something important that you overlooked that needs to be addressed. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There are a few things you can’t seem to work out in your head, Taurus. A better idea may be to put everything on paper and perhaps the answer will jump out. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, there will be a few moments this week when you seem to have a breakthrough. Maybe it’s in a relationship or you have just the right answers at work. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Surprising events are in store as you continue to change your views about lifealtering events, Cancer. You may find your master plan is entirely turned on its head. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your energy level is so revved up that others won’t be able to keep up with you. You may have to slow down a little to let others catch up. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others find it difficult to change your opinion once you have your mind set on something. But you need to consider if the direction you’re heading is the right way. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be feeling a little homesick, especially if you are away on business or on vacation. Try to make the most of the situation even if you’re feeling nostalgic. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if it seems like nothing is going your way, keep in mind there is a master plan in the works. You may not be able to see the resolution, but just be patient.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, there are a few puzzle pieces that you need to get into place and then you’ll have everything worked out. Reward yourself with a night out. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, lay low for awhile rather than drumming up some trouble. Tempting as it is to stir the pot, it may cause more difficulties for you in the long run.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although you have a few projects on your to-do list, you can’t get started. Don’t look at the entire list, tackle one task at a time and you’ll get the job get done. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, turn your thoughts to creative efforts and you’ll find the days will just fly by. Before you know it, the weekend will be here.

10 TIPS TO A GREAT SALE! 1. Place your advertisement for 2 weeks in our classified section. 2. Call friends and neighbours to see if they’d like to do a sale together. The bigger the selection, the more customers you’ll have. 3. Give yourself a couple of days to get organized. 4. Gather boxes, newspapers, and bags to use during the sale to package purchases. 5. Set your dates and times. The first and middle of the month are paydays for many people. 6. Take the time to clean up your items… products will sell better when they look “taken care of.” 7. Make the most of your display by setting up in a visible area such as the front yard, the driveway or near the curb. Don’t tuck yourself and your merchandise in a dark garage. 8. Label everything for sale with tape. Price it so you might consider buying it for yourself. 9. Before the sale, go to the bank. Get plenty of small bills and change to have on-hand. Keep a calculator handy for quick adding. 10. Be an entrepreneur. Make extra money by selling canned sodas, lemonade, etc., to shoppers. If you have kids, have them do this!

BBB alert: Microsoft tech support a scam

Multiple consumers have told the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in British Columbia they have been contacted by an overseas computer repair company offering virus protection and claiming to work for Microsoft. Last year, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) reported more than $88,000 lost to the scam with two-thirds of victim’s losses from B.C. This year, the scam has taken more than $10,000 from 38 victims. How it works? Consumers say they are being told by these callers that their computer has viruses and is in need of protection that only they can offer. Microsoft has no connection with these calls and will not call your home to offer virus protection. These calls are aimed at gaining remote access to your computer and collecting exorbitant fees for their services. According to Microsoft, after gaining access to the computer, these callers can then

install malicious software, steal personal information, take control of the computer remotely or direct consumers to fraudulent websites where they are asked to enter their credit card information. Microsoft’s Online Safety and Security Centre states that neither Microsoft nor its partners make unsolicited phone calls. Several Prince George-area consumers described the caller as having a foreign accent, and according to the CAFC, the origins of the

calls may be from India. The caller may make the following claims to appear legitimate: • Your computer is infected with a virus and it has “somehow” reported that fact to the technical support company. • Your computer is infected with a virus and it is sending out spam e-mails to people. • Your computer is “somehow” reporting critical software or hardware errors to the technical support company, or sending out error messages, and it is

in imminent danger of breaking or failing. • Your Windows Operating System is corrupted and about to fail. BBB advises consumers follow these tips to protect themselves from scammers attempting to access their computer: • Never give control of your computer to a third party unless you can confirm that it is a legitimate representative of a computer support team with whom you are already a customer. • Never provide your credit card or financial

information to someone claiming to be from tech support. • Take the caller’s information down and report it to the CAFC. If you did allow a caller to access your computer: • Change the passwords for your computer, e-mail and online banking/credit card accounts. • Be sure to run a virus scan • Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report if you shared personal and banking information with the scammer.
