RCMP warn lakecity residents about money scams Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Money scams persist in Williams Lake, said safer community co-ordinator Dave Dickson. “It’s not going away and if anything it’s going up and we’re hearing more and more about it,” Dickson told the Weekend Advisor Thursday.
Big amounts of money — as much as $3,000, $10,000 and even $15,000 — have been sent away from residents in the community to predators. Callers are becoming more and more crafty, Dickson explained. “A caller will say, ‘hi grandma, it’s me, your grandson,’ and the call recipient will say, ‘oh hi Brian,’ giving the caller the name he was looking
for.” Dickson encouraged citizens to connect with neighbours to warn them. Even if somebody sounds pleasant and convincing, if they are asking for money, it’s probably a scam. While the elderly are more susceptible, younger people are falling victim as well. There are media warnings about money scams all the time, yet the

message is not getting through to everyone, Dickson said. “I’m also talking with the banks to see what the RCMP can do to help increase awareness.” There’s also a new scam where people will get a call on an iPhone. The phone will ring once. When the phone owner calls back, the scammer is able to use the phone owner’s phone plan to rack up charges.

Proposed new fees blindside miners Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Mining permit fees being proposed by the provincial government will seriously impact prospectors and small scale placer miners, said Cariboo Mining Association (CMA) president Richard Wittner. In a draft discussion paper on Mines Act fees released by the ministry of energy and mines last month, miners would be required to make an application for a Notice of Work (NOW). For small scale placer and mineral/coal exploration activities with a total surface disturbance of under one hectare, the proposed fee is $2,000. The cost goes up to $4,000 for up to three hectares and up to $6,000 for more than three hectares. Because the new fee structure is not a “done deal” members are trying to work closely with government to make recom-

of them yet,” Wittner said. Williams Lake prospector and mining equipment manufacturer Eric Bridgen said the discussion paper blindsided everybody.
“A lot of people were under the confusion that if we pay the permit fees then we wouldn’t be putting up any bonding, but this is just a fee for processing the paper work,

Drug products are designed to treat specific conditions. But sometimes, new uses are found for the product after years of use. An example is Pepto-Bismol, which can bring quick relief for people with canker sores. Apply a small amount with a Q-Tip or swish some around the mouth and spit it out. It might work. Vitamin E was first discovered in California in 1922. Since that time, there have been many claims made that taking high doses would prevent cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s as well as giving you good skin and eyesight. However, there is very little clinical evidence that vitamin E supplements are beneficial and many of the studies on the vitamin were inconclusive.
we’ll still be nailed for the bonding.” Bonding can cost anywhere between $3,000 and $10,000. Last Sunday more than 40 people attending a meeting in Quesnel hosted by the CMA and 100 per cent of them voted in favour of not accepting the fees. “Now we’re writing letters,” Bridgen said. Energy and mines minister Bill Bennett said Wednesday he doesn’t want to charge fees, but his ministry has to generate revenue. Presently miners don’t pay permit fees to government, while people in forestry and oil and gas do, he added. Bennett said he is hoping the bulk of the revenue will come from mines at the top of the spectrum. In fact the proposed major mine permit fee is $300,000. “The grassroots guys on the ground, poking around, are the ones who make discoveries so we have
to make sure we don’t create policy that’s going to discourage them,” he added. Fees would help recover 60 per cent of the costs for corporate administrative services, inspector analysis of permit applications, technical reviews, referral costs and First Nations consultation. Permitting fees will directly support “timely” processing of permit applications and sustaining the enhanced level of service provided to the industry, but will not directly increase the number of inspections, Bennett said. In 2013 mines inspectors conducted a total of 1196 mine visits and the number of mine visits conducted annually by inspectors has nearly doubled since 2005, he added. Comments on the discussion paper will be accepted until March 31. It is anticipated the fees will be in place for the fall of 2014.

Studies are being done comparing e-cigarettes (a batteryoperated product that gives vaporized nicotine to the user) and nicotine patches. Recent results of one study showed the two methods were about equal in helping people stop smoking but the success rate was relatively low with both. E-cigarettes have still not been OK’d by Health Canada due to concerns about the effects of long-term use. Having a non-cancerous enlarged prostate gland can cause more frequent urination. If this is a problem, try restricting caffeine-containing and alcoholic fluids in the evening. When you do urinate, empty the bladder completely and have your doctor or pharmacist check your medications. Some meds may stimulate more urine flow. And try to relax. Stress sometimes causes increased urination. Worried about drug side effects? Check with our pharmacists for information.

Ringman and bid-spotter Wayne Pincott of BC Livestock hollers and waves an arm to let the auctioneer know that his bidder has raised his offer during the fast-paced action at the Prime Time Cattle Bull Sale on Saturday, March 1 at the BC Livestock yards in Williams Lake. Pincott was wearing two hats at the event, working the sale as a bid-spotter, but was also a featured contributor, owner-operator (with wife, Tiffany, son, Chase) of the Cutting Edge Cattle Company which had bulls on offer in the sale catalogue, giving him a little added incentive to look the crowd over carefully for any prospective bidders. Their entry, a two year old Black bull, Cutting Edge Maintainer, sold for $4,000 to Tom and Donna Ilnicki of Riske Creek, BC.
Price hikes expected with new recycling fees Jeff Nagel Black Press New recycling costs imposed by Multi Material BC will ultimately hit consumers through hidden price hikes, critics say. “The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,” said Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle and Recycling Depot Association.
Unlike existing deposit-refund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics — which are subject to audits and transparent reporting — Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with its revenue, without accountability. “It’s a licence to print money,” she said. Atwood has lobbied for years to expand the deposit system to include milk cartons and other containers, from hair spray canisters to detergent bottles. She argues the re-
funds offered would ensure a high rate of recycling through depots, as with beverage cans now. “If you put deposits on things initially the consumer would pay a bit more, but the people who bring it back will get their money back,” she said. Instead, she said MMBC’s non-refundable fees on packaging generators will inflate prices with no recourse. “With a hidden fee you don’t know what it is and there’s no oppor-
tunity to get that back — then you’re genuinely taking money out of families’ pockets.” Atwood said she believes the government likes the new system because if MMBC fees drive retail prices higher, the province will collect more sales tax. Existing bottle depots may be threatened because MMBC will also collect refundable beverage containers, she said, adding school teams and community groups that depend on bottle drives to raise
money may also lose out if there’s less to collect. Other recyclers say they’re also losing out under MMBC’s system. The agency recently announced a consortium of waste firms that will handle the processing of containers that are collected. Urban Impact Recycling was one of the bidders that wasn’t selected and CEO Nicole Stefenelli said her firm will now have to restructure and potentially shed jobs as a result.

B.C. business alliance to battle MMBC recycling fees Jeff Nagel Black Press An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection – with more containers and material types collected than before – while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate. But it’s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and
eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. “This is public policy run amok,” he said. “We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.” B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm
$60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.” Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned the the new system will be “catastrophic” to B.C. community and daily newspapers, resulting in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities. The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program – to make generators of packaging pay to recycle it – but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unilever and Walmart control MMBC and are manipulating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses. Most of the fees for container waste are double or even quadruple what businesses
zines mailed into B.C. Printers predict some orders will shift to presses in the U.S. or Alberta to skirt the fees, costing jobs in B.C. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said MMBC’s higher fees are because they fully finance the program and ensure service for multi-family apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontario’s more limited focus on single-family homes. He said B.C.’s successful container deposit system also means there’s less recyclable material left here for container stewards to collect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs. Langdon said no business is forced to join MMBC, adding groups like the newspaper industry are free to develop their own system. “If they think there’s
a better way, I think it’s important they put it forward.” Environment Minister Mary Polak said most businesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200. She said property taxpayers will save money because MMBC will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid. “The City of Richmond will save $1.5 million a year, Nanaimo will save just over $900,000 a year and the list goes on,” Polak said. “This is about shifting the costs from the property taxpayer to the people who produce the packaging and printed paper.”

in Ontario pay to a similar agency. Newspapers say they face a $14-million-ayear bite out of their operations because of the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, compared to less than half a penny in Ontario. They contend a high proportion of newsprint is already recycled in B.C. through blue boxes. Kvarnstrom said newspapers are considering options to create their own newsprint collection system – a move that could also deprive MMBC of newsprint revenue and undermine the program’s viability. Magazine industry reps also warned small B.C. magazines will pay not only for their own paper recycling, but will also effectively subsidize big U.S. magazines like Harper’s or Vogue that will be exempt from MMBC fees on maga-

BCTF rhetoric flying high The rhetoric surrounding the B.C. public education system and contract negotiations with the B.C. Teachers Federation has been flying high, both in amount and stink level. Claiming they have the best interests of B.C. schoolchildren at heart, the provincial Liberal government is single-mindedly driving to ink a 10-year labour contract with the province’s teachers The nuts and bolts of their plan are outlined in a document entitled: Working together for students. The plan has as its main goal long-term stability in education. At least that is what it says on the cover. Very commendable However, the document identifies the biggest problem with the public school system as, “The ongoing cycle of teacher labour unrest in schools.” As if only the teachers were to blame in this mess. But 10 years is a long time.
How many people, other than politicians and most couples, want to be locked into a contract for 10 years? We have trouble with threeyear cellphone contracts, never mind 10 years. What if there is another financial meltdown? What happens if the natural gas industry goes belly up? What happens if the courts uphold the BCTF’s right to negotiate class size and composition? Why not aim for a short-term contract to work out a set of guidelines that focuses on class size and composition that puts the students first, gives teachers the room they need to do their very best, and is mindful that the government purse strings must open for many public servants. In this way both parties are putting their money where their mouth is. - Penticton Western News

From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook Award, the Stampede Association won the Hospitality/Tourism Award, M&M Meat Shops won the Community Booster Award, and Jason Ryll won the Hugo Stahl Memorial Award. Industry was well represented, with Gibraltar Mines winning the Greatest Improvement Award, and West Fraser winning the Manufacturer Award.
Business of the Year was Pioneer Log Homes, whose Timber Kings show was a big hit. It will now reach American audiences on Discovery USA, and I can’t wait for a second exciting season. The Williams Lake Stampeders won the Newsmaker of the Year Award, just before they hosted the Coy Cup tournament this week. We won a very exciting game Tuesday, and a strong win on Wednesday. The city and the Williams Lake Indian Band are very pleased with the announcement that our Community Forest partnership has been approved by the Province. This initiative has been years in the making, and involved
an atmosphere of respect, a lot of co-operation, consultation, and hard work to make the Williams Lake Community Forest a reality. International Women’s Day has been celebrated on March 8 every year since 1975, and in Williams Lake again this year, Irene Willsie and the Women’s Contact Society held an event promoting the importance of women and recognizing their achievements. This year, participants watched Miss Representation, a documentary that exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence, and held a panel discussion.
We need to encourage more women to get involved in leadership roles, and I am very proud that two of our Junior Councillors, Rebekah Corbett and Hanna Hett, took part in the discussion. Rebekah and Hanna, as well as fellow Junior Councillors Monica Rawlek, Gagan Vaid, and Brooklyn Thiessen, are bright young women. We as a community support them as they step into their leadership potential. Come on out and cheer on the defending Coy Cup champion Stampeders this weekend. I hope to see you there! Kerry Cook is the Mayor of Williams Lake.

Forget the issues, pass the muffins Proceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and twitter feeds. No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents. It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733. This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
championed. The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year. Everything done here is ex-
pensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wiring. But the public, conditioned by media to expect corruption and scandal, would rather be outraged about free muffins. Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts, or have an assistant fetch them. The outraged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheelchairs. A costly new outside access ramp assisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012
and left him in a wheelchair. The NDP brought a delegation of survivors and family members of the dead from sawdust explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George. They supported the opposition’s demand for an independent inquiry, although their own demands ranged from counselling for long-suffering wives to seeing someone punished for alleged negligence. The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal. What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extradry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny,
and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what lessons can be learned. Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park. It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date. But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here. I don’t know why people are so cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I did. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Fourteen years to get less than one per cent of provincial AAC into community forests I believe in community forests so why am I not thrilled with the recent announcement about the government approval of the Williams Lake Community Forest. While researching the government’s most recent tenure allocations (Report ID APTR033 2014-01-15) for another article I discovered the following: After initiating the community forest program more than 14 years ago, the government has allocated .98 per cent of the provincial annual allowable cut to this tenure form. After more than 20 years the woodlot program has done even worse at only .3 per cent of the provincial AAC of 77 million cubic metres. Another reason for a lack of enthusiasm was the realization that many others in the surrounding communities were less content than I was. I have attended a number of meetings about the concerns around the location and exclusion of some communities (Big Lake, Horsefly and Miocene). I witnessed a lot of wasted energy fighting over what I considered to be an insufficient AAC for a population base the size of Williams Lake and the surrounding community. Even a city like Revelstoke has held a tree farm
Forest Ink Jim Hilton licence for some years with more than a 70,000 cubic-metre AAC. Another community forest in the Chilcotin has one for 40,000 cubic metres. Why not an AAC of at least 90,000 cubic metres so a reasonable allocation could be divided up amongst the relatively large population? I first became involved with community forests in 2001 a year before retirement. I was involved with establishing the first 10 community forests in the province. As a region we did fairly well and ended up with two community forests (Soda Creek/ Likely and Esk’etemc at Alkali Lake). After I retired I was asked to be on the board of directors at Esk’etemc. A number of recent articles have pointed out the divisions in the community caused by the latest decision about the mine. I hope this column will give all sides the opportunity to focus on some other options that could
bring benefits our community. Rather than continue the discussion on cull piles, I think there are a couple issues that deserve immediate attention. The first is the Williams Lake Timber Supply Review and Timber Supply Area data package and public discussion paper. My limited column space in Forest Ink will be put to better use in discussing the implications of the various proposals rather than a repeat of the material in these documents. A homework assignment for you is to look up the provincial AAC apportionment. The reason for reviewing this information is the rumour in industry is government will be encouraging replacing volume-based to more areabased tenures (i.e. TFLs). More TFLs will supposedly encourage more intensive silviculture. If that is the assumption, there is one simple question for the Minister of Forests. Approximately 16 per cent of the AAC has existed as area-based tenures for many decades. What proof do we have that there has been a significant investment in intensive silviculture during that time (i.e. money from the companies and not from any government program?) Some of the highlights of the apportion-
ment documents are the following: There are a number of tables to look at but one of the most revealing is the following: Ministry of Forest and Range Apportionment System, Table APTR043 shows the apportionment of the volume-based licences as follows: The provincial AAC is 77 million cubic meters per year. A total of 436 companies control 71 per cent. Forty companies control 60 per cent and only six companies control 40 per cent of the provincial AAC. My estimate is that 90-plus per cent of the provincial milling capacity is controlled by approximately 40 of the companies with the largest apportionments. In some communities there may only be one company to sell logs to. Some other tables will show that 37 per cent of the licences are replaceable (the majority if not all controlled by large corporations), around two per cent are assigned to First Nations, .98 per cent to existing community forests and .31 per cent to woodlots. I have a proposal that I will discuss in more detail in my next column but here is the basic idea. What about establishing three new community forests in 100
Mile House, Williams Lake and Quesnel. For ease of calculations, I suggest an AAC of at least 100,000 cubic meters for each city (that works out to four per cent of the provincial AAC). If each community were to receive a reasonably fair price for their logs they could expect a profit of around $1 million in each community each year. This money would be specifically used to create jobs. My suggestion would be use some of the money to find ways to use the energy in cull piles rather than burning them. The question for our two MLAs and other local politicians is this. What are your priorities: support the establishment of more TFLs for the major licensees and their shareholders or promoting more local tenures which would keep more profits and jobs in the communities you represent? If the jobs helped our environment that would be a win-win for everyone. Jim Hilton is a professional agrologist and forester who has lived and worked in the Cariboo Chilcotin for the past 40 years. Now retired, Hilton still volunteers his skills with local community forests organizations.

Ferry impact study needed, city Prince Rupert that service cuts to BC Ferries Northern Routes be postponed until 2015 and a comprehensive economic impact assessment be undertaken immediately to guide future changes. A report prepared by the City of Prince Rupert noted there has never been an economic impact assessment to measure the benefit of BC Ferries to the provincial, and especially northern, economy. “We need to postpone any cuts to service until we fully understand the benefits
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cutbacks to ferry services on the coast will affect Williams Lake, said city councillor Surinderpal Rathor. “It may not affect us to the level that it will impact places like Bella Coola and Prince Rupert, but it will definitely affect us,” Rathor said during the regular council meeting Tuesday. At the meeting council voted unanimously to support a request made by the City of
of the service,” the report suggested. Rathor said he was surprised to see the action taken by the government to remove the Queen of Chilliwack servicing the Discovery Coast. The previous premier was “gung-ho” to have the circle tour from Bella Coola to Williams Lake, he said. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on the Tourism Discovery Centre to promote tourism and if one portion of tourism is lost because of the ferry cancellation,
it would be a shame if the city hadn’t intervened, Rathor said. “Something needs to be done to ask the government to leave this route alone.” Coun. Ivan Bonnell said it’s the lack of consultation with communities that upsets him the most. “Prior to suggesting service cuts they should have consulted communities and done an impact analysis,” Bonnell said, adding he hopes government will listen to the communities now. The ferry service is
an extension of the highway service, and ferries are used in place of building more bridges, he added. “It’s costly to operate, but let’s find some resolutions to making it work financially.” Coun. Laurie Walters said the city needs to start paying attention to the value of tourism in the city and the region and realize it is a major cog in the economic wheel. “We need to do as much as we can to stop the ferry cuts from happening,” Walters said.
Dialysis services expanding in lakecity Services at the Williams Lake Community Dialysis Unit are being expanded to meet anticipated future need among Cariboo residents requiring hemodialysis. “Hemodialysis saves lives – it’s that simple. I am thrilled that patients in the Cariboo region now have even more access to this service, and as close to home as possible,” says Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “This is going to make a tremendous difference in the lives of future patients who need hemodialysis.” The community dialysis unit, located on the first floor of Cariboo Memorial Hospi-
tal, recently added a sixth dialysis station, providing enhanced patient access to this lifesaving measure for those whose renal needs can be met in a community dialysis setting. Funded by the BC Renal Agency and operated by Interior Health, the Williams Lake Community Dialysis Unit incorporates an involved care, patient self-management model. By focusing on education, the care providers work to empower patients to become as independent as they are able to be. Patients are encouraged to set their own goals, learn new skills and gain
more control over their health. Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste and unwanted water from the blood – a function normally carried out by the kidneys. When kidneys do not function properly, patients may need dialysis. Those on hemodialysis have this treatment three times per week. “Research clearly shows that the more involved a person is in his or her own care, the better the results,” says Dr. Adeera Levin, executive director of the BC Renal Agency. “The expansion of the community dialysis unit in Williams Lake will help future
patients access their care in a supportive environment. This will improve

St. Patrick’s Day makes a pefect time for a Dublin Coddle I think St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 is a great celebration because many people are wearing green. Same as the Saskatchewan Roughriders colours. You bet I will be wearing ‘Riders’ and St. Paddy’s green and perhaps adding a little green food colouring to my beer. St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and of course it is a holiday in that country. While we do not declare St Pat’s day a holiday in British Columbia, there are many that will take time to salute the Irish and the wearing of the green. Stews are very big on St. Paddy’s day and the Irish have a lot of good recipes for that dish. Most stews are pretty easy to make. It’s

sort of like emptying the fridge into a big pot and stir. Many Irish dishes that are consumed on St. Paddy’s day are mostly one-pot meals. That is an easy way to cook, many dishes in the far east are also one-pot meals. Dublin Coddle is a traditional dish of sausages, bacon, onions, potatoes and it dates back at least as far as the early 18th century. That’s a long time to be cooking one dish. Dublin Coddle
2 ½ pounds potatoes 2 large onions peeled and thickly sliced 1 pound of good pork sausage 1 pound bacon cut thick 1 pint of water 1 cube of beef or chicken stock 4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley salt and pepper to taste Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes. Finely chop parsley. Boil water and dissolve a beef or chicken cube. Grill or boil the sausage and bacon ... don’t let them dry out. Drain briefly on paper towels and cut the bacon into one inch pieces. Cut the sausages into medium chunks. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Layer the onions, bacon, sausage in a
large cast iron pot with a lid. Season each layer liberally with fresh ground pepper and the parsley. Continue until the ingredients are used. Put in the stock and bring to a boil, the simmer. Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours. Check the pot for water about half way

Composting
Part of the Cariboo Regional District’s Solid Waste Info Series: Becoming Waste Wise Do you think of gardening when you hear a reference to composting? Perhaps it is the connection between composting and gardening that keeps many of us from composting at home. We assume that if we don’t have a garden, we don’t have a place for the “heaps” of food waste, or a location to use the finished compost. It’s time for those of us who don’t have a garden to let go of this assumption and embrace the fact that you don’t have to garden to compost. Backyard composters can be placed anywhere outside, you could even place one in a sunny spot in your front yard and advertise that you are actively composting! Finished compost takes up a fraction of the space of food waste, so there won’t be much material to handle if you spread it out on your lawn or give it away once a year. If you don’t have access to a yard, there are indoor composters available such as vermicomposters that uses red wriggler worms to break down fruit and veggie waste. Why should you change your habits and re-direct your veggie and fruit waste out of the garbage? Because leaving it in the garbage creates methane gas, increases landfill leachate production, takes up space in the landfill, costs money to transport and wastes the nutrient content of the food. In the oxygen deprived environment of the landfill, organics don’t get a chance to break down into compost or soil; rather they slowly decompose and release methane gas in the process, which is a greenhouse gas 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide when it comes to causing climate change. All landfills create leachate, but leachate production can be limited by the amount of moisture that is present in the waste. Organics contain over 60 percent moisture (by weight) which turns into leachate as the organics decompose. The leachate travels through the other waste in the landfill and collects contaminants. If the landfill doesn’t have a leachate collection system these contaminants could move into the land, if the landfill does have a leachate collection system the contaminants must be managed or removed which is a costly process. The lifespan of a landfill is measured in volume by how many years of waste will fit into the existing landfill footprint. If we are able to reduce the amount of waste going into each of our landfills, it gives us more years of use; an excellent reason to divert as much as we can from our landfills. Organic waste is heavy because of the moisture content, and waste disposed of at transfer stations is hauled to a regional landfill, which is often paid for by the tonne. This is another good incentive to divert the heavy organics out of our garbage and into our yards! The nutrients from food waste cannot be harnessed if they are mixed up in landfill leachate, but they can in your compost. Even if you only turn your finished compost out onto your lawn or place it around the base of the trees or shrubs in your yard, the nutrients will be put to good use. The CRD and its member municipalities want to help you change your food waste disposal habits and will be subsidizing backyard composters and counter top containers again in 2014. Email talktrash@cariboord.b.c.ca to get the details or call the CRD at 250-392-3351 or toll free 1-800-665-1636. Waste wise education is delivered to students in the CRD, but the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better.

than 2,300 sites that are identified with invasive plant infestation and most of that is napweed,” CRD chair Al Richmond said. “We get calls from ranchers in the South Cariboo areas on Crown land wanting to keep it off their property.” The program needs to treat the Crown Land areas that have been identified and right now the pro-

Thomson, minister of forests, land and natural resource operations. “The ministry hears annually from all its partners, which in-
cludes 15 regional districts and 13 nonprofit societies across the province.” “Unfortunately the need for funds is always greater than
what is available in the ministry’s budget.” When asked if there might be more money for the CRD, Thomson said the ministry is currently reviewing plans for next year’s funding. Last Friday the CRD board received the annual review of the Invasive Plant Management program. Treatment activities are mechanical, chemical, and biological.
In 2013, a five-year 50/50 cost share pilot program within the Landowner Assistance program was introduced. Richmond said the CRD is happy to do the program, recognizes the need and wants to support the program, but only a third of sites are being addressed. “We’ve got more and more sites and the funding’s not adequate,” he added.

Beware the Ides of March! Many of us studied Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in school and remember that scene where the soothsayer shouts to Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March”. Interestingly, Caesar does not ask much about the warning; no questions about what nor whom to beware of. I wonder if history would have been changed if he had investigated a bit more. The soothsayer did his job. He issued the warning but it was up to Caesar to seek clarification and to take steps to make the warning be of any use in his life and to his future. Warning signs are often ignored by us today as well, aren’t they? Think of all the curve warning signs on the highway – “slow down to 60”, “caution – hidden intersection”, and the list goes on. How many of these do we pay real attention to? Or the health warning signs. Our health is starting to deteriorate and little indicators of future problems show up in our body. But what do we do about it? Sadly, most of us ignore these warnings the body puts out, until it is late in the game and we may need to take drastic steps to recover some of our health and former lifestyle. The Church, too, is great at
PARSONS PEN
BY GERRIT APPERLOO issuing warnings, isn’t she? Preachers expound on the evils of society and the problems sin is causing in society and in the life of an individual. They warn of the end result of refusing to accept Jesus as Saviour; and for those who have accepted Jesus as Saviour, the warning is often that they must toe the line, live up to the instructions of the Bible, be obedient, etc. Warnings after warnings about what could happen – with the end result the possibility of being shut out of heaven and receiving an eternity of suffering in hell.
And then there are the warnings about the future and what may or may not happen, based on prophetic statements in the Bible. Lots of warnings! But what are you and I doing in response to these warnings about our sins, our lifestyle, our relationship to Jesus, and the signs pointing to certain coming events? Warnings are great but mean nothing if they are not investigated and we take action as a result. Here it the question: have you heard the warnings and done something about it? Never mind what your neighbour did – what did you do in response to what you heard or read? Just because your friend or spouse ignores the warnings does not mean you should. In fact, your decision, not theirs, will determine your eternal future. I heard the warnings years ago and responded by repenting, asking Jesus to be my Saviour, and I am continuing to work at making him Lord of all areas of my life. I know my future – and in fact my present - is secure in him. Will you heed the warning? Don’t be Julius Caesar and ignore the opportunity to prevent disaster for yourself.

Caregivers learn coping strategies
DRY GRAD 2014 General Open Meeting
Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Caregivers and family members gathered in Williams Lake Tuesday to glean a better understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. “I’m hoping to share information so that everyone’s on the same page, both family members and caregivers,” said Tara Hildebrand, support and education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. who was facilitating a one-day workshop held at the Seniors’ Village. Statistics show 480,6000 people in Canada have Alzheimer’s or related dementia and there are 15,150 new cases each year. “A year and a half ago we commissioned a study and the number of cases had jumped to 750,000,” Hildebrand said. “We really do need a national strategy.” Dementia is broken down into two categories — acute reversal dementia or chronic irreversible dementia. The first one can be caused by drug interactions, depression, tumours, B-12 or potassium deficiency, stress or even an infection. While it’s the type of dementia that can be cured, chronic irreversible cannot. There are several myths about Alzheimer’s Hildebrand said. Alzheimer’s is strictly not a genetic disorder, it is not part of normal aging, is not preventable, not curable and is not caused by a vitamin deficiency or by aluminum. “It doesn’t necessarily affect elderly people either,” Hildebrand said. “I have a 42-year-old in my office right now who has Alzheimer’s.” People often contact Hildebrand asking about getting a diagnosis and she tells them it’s a process. A doctor will rule out acute reversal treatable dementia before looking at determining if a person has chronic irreversible dementia. Normally her workshop runs as a series over five weeks, but be-

Collaboration builds communities that care Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Since its inception in 2008 the Communities that Care (CTC) program in Williams Lake and Anahim Lake has attempted to make a difference in the lives of children. “We still have many challenges but lots of things have changed,” said Anne Burrill, manager of social development for the city and CTC board member. Speaking during a meeting of community leaders hosted by the CTC Friday at the Central Cariboo Arts Society, Burrill said the community is different now than it was five years ago. In 2008 the community had a problem with youth involved in violence and pursued the CTC program as a possible solution, Burrill said. Since then throughout Williams Lake and Anahim Lake more than 70 individuals from a broad range of social service networks, agencies and programs have worked together to guide the program. A 2010 survey of 1,257 youth provided the CTC with some data it has used for developing its programs. The survey found 56 per cent of survey respondents were at-risk, a significant number of students struggled with school, and several were using alcohol on a regular basis at a

Today it has grown to 22 schools across the Cariboo-Chilcotin, and in after school programs and pre-school programs. Now CTC will focus on creating a survey for 2015 and updating its community profile,
Burrill said. “We will want to collect information about what we’ve been doing in our community in the last five years.” Responding Central Cariboo Arts Society co-ordinator Leah Selk said it’s crucial to talk with youth and gain their trust. “We need to learn what they want,” she suggested. Fraser Basin Council regional manager Maureen Lebourdais said the connections that have grown across organizations need to be nurtured and encouraged. “It’s not a short term fix, it’s a long-term shift in our community culture that we need

them. “They need to be part of the dialogue and need to be represented here,” he said. The burden cannot be dumped on School District 27, said Cariboo Bethel pastor Jeremy Vogt. “It’s an educational institution,” Vogt said. “We realize that there are some balances and that has to happen, but we as organizations need to be able to help lift that burden off the school district so they can do what they are mandated to do, which is to educate.” On a provincial level Williams Lake has been put on the map for a willingness as a community to come together to face challenges, Mayor Kerry Cook said. “It’s great to see people that have been around for so many years — the front line workers who never give up — and the new faces,” she added.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.
Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?

An example of a community fence decorated with colourful images all made from yarn.
Yarn Bombing helps celebrate city’s birthday Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer People of all ages are knitting up a storm to help dress up Williams Lake for its 85th birthday. The city’s actual birthday is this Saturday but groups around the community are planning a variety of special events for later in the year. For one of those special events the Community Arts Council of Williams Lake, with the approval of city council, and with help from students, seniors and various artists and arts groups is pulling together a unique Yarn Bombing project. Several fences and trees in the community will be decorated with colourful fiber art images. “Many seniors are on board knitting up a storm making long strips of acrylic ribbon,” says project co-ordinator Sharon Hoffman. “In mid-June, we’ll work with youth to get this ‘ribbon’ woven into the chainlinked fences to create pictures around the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin, Station House, Potato House, Central Arts and Culture Centre, Community Garden, Kiwanis Park ball diamonds or tennis courts,” Hoffman says. She says the arts council groups will also be yarn bombing the trunks of 15 deciduous trees in Herb Gardner Park with knitting, crocheting, weaving and other fabric art techniques.
The challenge is for each arts council group to decorate the tree so that it represents their group. Each of the participating arts council groups is decorating a tree for the project that will be unveiled before Stampede and stay in place until the last day of the 2014 Art Walk in September. Any displays that are damaged will be repaired or taken down, Hoffman says. After the project is over, she says pieces will be donated to the Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society for use in another project or if they are tired, they we will go to the SPCA as bedding for lost or abandoned pets.
Hoffman is currently collecting donations of acrylic yarn. “If you happen to have some unneeded acrylic yarn you are willing to donate, please get in touch with me and I’ll collect it,” Hoffman says. People who would like to be involved in this fun community project can contact Hoffman at 250-3925671. Willie Dye reports that the annual Art Walk and Sale will run August 7 to September 6 this year with great art, prizes, entertainment and exercise. People who wish to help with that event can contact him at 250-398-8826 or williedye@shaw.ca.

Stamps earn at least semifinal berth in Coy Cup Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Stampeders are guaranteed at least a semifinal berth in this year’s 2014 Coy Cup Senior Men’s ‘AA’ Hockey Championship. The Stampeders and the Fort Nelson Yeti treated fans to one of the best hockey games this city has seen in recent memory Tuesday — an 8-7 home side win — before Williams Lake shocked the Smithers Steelheads 7-0 Wednesday, a team that had beaten them just two weeks prior in the Central Interior Hockey League playoff finals. If the Stampeders defeated the Terrace River Kings last night (Thursday), Williams Lake will earn an automatic bye into Saturday night’s 8 p.m. tournament final after finishing the round robin with a perfect three wins and no losses. If Terrace takes the win then the River Kings will earn the bye, finishing the round robin with two wins and one tie. Williams Lake will then play in Friday night’s 8 p.m. semifinal should the latter scenario occur. The third and final semifinal berth will go to either the Steelheads or the Yeti, depending on the result of their Thursday night tilt. Scoring for Williams Lake in the 7-0 win over the Steelheads Wednesday were Nathan Zurak (2-1-3), Tyrel Lucas (1-23), Andrew Fisher (1-01), Jassi Sangha (1-0-1), Stu Sasges (1-0-1) and Derrick Walters (1-0-1). Justin Foote picked up the win in goal for the Stampeders. Wednesday night’s other matchup saw the River Kings wash out the Yeti, 5-3. Terrace spread its offence around to five different goal scorers: Ben Reinbolt, Derick Jurista, Tristan Murray, Nick Ho-

Ski area losing money, despite efficiencies Gaven Crites 100 Mile Free Press Skiers and snowboarders can expect to pay more next season for passes at Mt. Timothy Ski Area, as operators look to make the publicly owned ski hill, located near Lac la Hache, financially sustainable. “We’ve traditionally been losing about $50,000 a year,” general manager Adam Piccolo says, adding they’ll have to charge users more “just to break even.” Mt. Timothy, a nonprofit society-run ski hill, has always been operated under financially tight circumstances, Piccolo explains. Despite a busy start to the season, he notes the number of users at the hill is below average this year, while the operating budget is spread thin. “We really streamlined the mountain as much as possible. Our staffing is lower than ever before. We’re as efficient as we could be. We were hoping we could make it that way.” John Stace-Smith has been a director with Mt. Timothy for close to 24 years, almost since its in-

It’s not a sustainable model. We’ve had a lot of discussion on how to change that.” Unplanned costs associated with things, such as snowcat repairs and maintenance have made this year particularly frustrating, he adds. Mt. Timothy is governed by a board of 11 directors and a general manager. Anyone who purchases a season pass becomes a member of

its society. All profits go back into operating and improving the ski area. Piccolo says there are future plans for a tube park and cross-country ski area to, hopefully, attract more users. The society is also looking to raise funds through more corporate sponsorship and advertising. There is also an ongoing campaign through the National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) to purchase new padded seats for the chairlifts. (Any donations made to the NSTF and earmarked Mt. Timothy Ski Society (MTSS) Project (#285)
will be credited to the Mt. Timothy Ski Society and the donor will receive an official tax receipt. Every $500 donation will have an acknowledgement embroidered on one of the chairlift seats.) “We’ve had lots of people step forward with their own skills,” StaceSmith explains. “People like mechanics, electricians and plumbers... they jump in and volunteer their skills and talents. That really helps.” He calls Mt. Timothy “a public asset.” “This is the people’s hill. We don’t want to see it die.”

Danielle Shultz, Kaitlin Jantz, Peter Fayowski, Adam Sutherland and Braden Conrod represented the black ‘n’ blue at the tournament. “There was some very tough competition on the mat,” said WLWC head coach and president Sonia Conrod. “Watching the finals was a true display of athleticism.” Conrod said despite all of the club’s wrestlers battling hard, they did not reach the podium. Second-year cadet and Grade 10 grappler Braden, however, was one win away from a podium finish, taking seventh place.
“He had previously qualified for nationals being held in Guelph, Ont. from April 2-6, so he will continue his training to represent Williams Lake in that tournament,” she said. At the provincial championships wrestlers compete in one division, grades 8-12, in separate weight classes. Nationals, meanwhile, are split into two categories — cadet (grades 9 and 10) and juvenile (grades 11 and 12). 100 Mile House’s Kody Kennedy and Tiana Dykstra also travelled with the WLWC to provincials. Dykstra, coached by Phil Johnston, won gold in the 43-kilogram weight class. “Her technique is amazing, her drive is incredible and she is a true champion,” Sonia said, adding Dykstra will also be travelling to nationals with Braden in April.

WLSA to host youth F-Class meeting March 21 Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association is looking to gauge public interest in youth long-range F-Class rifle shooting. WLSA director Caroline Chupa said if anyone is interested there will be a meeting on Saturday, March 21, at 1 p.m. at the Rod and Gun Club on Bond Lake Road. “F-class is a precision long-distance target shooting sport where competitors shoot at targets between 300 and
900 metres, with the object to place shots as close to the centre, or bull, as possible.” Chupa said the association is pleased to now have the opportunity to introduce competitive long-range shooting to youth. “The youth will be able to compete both individually and have a choice to compete with a team at a variety of levels,” she said. “When it comes down to it, shooting should be something you do because you enjoy it. But to become even somewhat competitive, you will invest
a lot of time, energy and money.” Following the meeting in Williams Lake there will be a shooting clinic at the Kamloops Target Sports Association range in Kamloops, tentatively scheduled for April 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “This clinic will allow each interested youth the chance to see if they are actually interested before big time and money is invested,” she said. “It is easier to show each person what this type of shooting is all about before making decisions.” Equipment required
to attend the KTSA clinic, Chupa noted, includes: A rifle with a heavy enough barrel to shoot 17 rounds without getting too warm, with calibres .223, .308, .6br (or six millimetre dasher) or 7 mm being preferred, with at least 50 rounds of ammunition, a scope that is at least 22 power or better, a front rest, rear bag support, plus hearing and eye protection. “The youth here in Canada have an excellent opportunity having a chance to shoot on a national F-Class team in 2017 — Canada’s
Cougars stop in at old stomping grounds Two former Williams Lake minor hockey players Colton Thomas and Chase DuBois got the chance to check in on their old stomping grounds when their current team, the Cariboo Cougars, stopped for a practice in the lakecity Thursday on their way to the B.C. Major Midget League playoff quarterfinal. Also the duo’s brothers, Grady Thomas and Daine DuBois — both players for the tier two peewee Williams Lake Timberwolves — were invited to take part in the pratice with the Cougars and participate in drills and scrimmages. The Valley West Hawks, unfortunately, ended the Cougars season on Saturday night, skating to a 5-2 win to sweep the best-of-three BCMML quarterfinal series in Langley. Valley West won the first game 4-3 on Friday night.

Public Advisory Notice Cariboo Region Lake Aerators
The British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF), under contract to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, advises that commencing in December lake aerators will be in operation on: • Irish Lake • Skulow Lake • Simon Lake The purpose of the lake aeration program is to minimize fish mortality associated with reduced oxygen levels during the winter months on lakes at high risk. During periods of operation, the aerator units will create areas of open water and weak ice. The BCCF would like to remind residents to stay away from safety fencing placed around the aerators. Also, as a reminder to anglers, it is unlawful to fish within 100m of any active aeration unit (see pg. 10, BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis). Please direct questions or comments regarding aerator operation to: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Williams Lake (Cariboo) 400 - 640 Borland St. Williams Lake, BC V2G 4T1 Telephone: 250-398-4530 Facsimile: 250-398-4214

PLAN NUMBER 2-3-743 HANDSOME THREE BEDROOM FAMILY HOME This handsome three-bedroom family home includes an unfinished basement with a roughed-in threepiece bathroom. Future uses for this space could include a playroom, home office or inlaw suite. Painted pilasters set on stone bases support a covered entry at ground level. This leads into a compact foyer, with a coat closet tucked under the stairs to the second floor. At the back of the foyer is the laundry room, with access to the single garage. Upstairs, the great room occupies the front of the home, separated from the stairway by a railing. Between the kitchen and the great room is the dining room, flowing into the great room. A window at the side indicates the ideal spot for the dining-room table. Divided from the kitchen by a twoseat eating bar, the kitchen includes double sinks and a U-shaped counter configuration. A door opens onto a sundeck that overlooks the back garden. The master suite, also at the front of the home, boats a window with an extrawide sill and plenty of closet space. If the owners wish an ensuite bathroom, optional plans will allow this. Otherwise, a three-piece bathroom can be shared with the two secondary bedrooms. A linen closet opposite the bathroom completes the second-floor lay-out. Simplicity is the watch-
word for the exterior finishes, which include horizontal siding and gables with decorative shingles. Windows are partly mullioned and woodwork is painted white. • Kitchens • Countertops • Vanities • Closets • Desk/Office Cabinetry • Laundry Room Cabinets
This home measures 30 feet, four inches wide and 34 feet deep, for a total of 896 square feet of living space, not including the unfinished basement.
