Members of the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department (WVFD) quickly change tanks as Deputy Fire Chief Willy DeVuyst commands the scene at a house fire on Pacific Road at Wildwood Thursday morning. The Williams Lake Fire Department also responded to assist the WVFD, however, the home was completely destroyed in the blaze. See more on Page A10.
The response was quick, but there was little anyone could do to save a Wildwood home from being completely destroyed by fire Thursday morning. Homeowner Ivan Levac could only watch as crews from the local Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department and Williams Lake Fire Department fought the blaze, which broke out just before 9 a.m. at 4210 Pacific Road. Levac said he was outside of his home working on his vehicle when the fire broke out. “The only thing I had on was my dryer … when I heard a loud bang,” Levac said, speculating about what may have started the blaze. Neighbours were quick to return home to offer their support to Levac, who was obviously shook up from the loss. “Everything I own is in there,” said Levac, who moved to Wildwood from Prince George about eight years ago to work at Gibraltar Mine. “My house is nothing, I can replace that.” The fire also prompted a response from Fortis BC, BC Hydro, the RCMP and BC Ambulance Service, who was on hand to monitor the health of fire fighters.

Forest tenure consultations slated for May 1 Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The consultation meetings on forest tenures will visit Williams Lake on May 1, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations announced on its website Monday. Stakeholders, who have been invited to meet with former chief forester Jim
Snetsinger, who is leading the consultation meetings, should arrange a meeting by completing a stakeholder registration form, available on the ministry’s website. There is also an invitations page on the website people can check with to see if their group is on the list. As of Thursday, 50 companies and orga-
nizations and around 200 First Nations bands are on the list. Invitation letters were mailed on April 1, the ministry noted. If people are not on the list but feel they should have been included, they are asked to e-mail a meeting request to forest.tenures@gov.bc.ca and efforts will be made to accommodate the request.
The registration deadline to attend the meeting in Williams Lake is April 18. Ministry staff will reply with confirmation of the meeting location and time within one week of the registration deadline. People are also invited to review the discussion paper and provide their input at: http://engage.gov. bc.ca/foresttenures.
Liquor allowed on the golf course Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Williams Lake Golf and Tennis Club will now be able to provide liquor service on the playing area of the golf course. City council approved the club’s application to provide liquor service on the playing area of the golf course from the interior lounge plus
two beverage carts and two beverage kiosks located on the tee box of holes seven and 15 at its regular meeting Tuesday. In a report to council, staff said the service will augment the existing interior lounge and patio which are currently licensed under a food primary licence. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor said he
received several text messages in support of the application, while Coun. Danica Hughes suggested people living in the region should be notified by a mail out. “I know there’s been a sign posted as well and quite a bit of notification,” Mayor Kerry Cook responded. “It’s something new, to ask for a mobile liquor cart that will go

around the golf course which is very consistent with other golf courses.” Rathor agreed, saying Williams Lake has been “way behind” other golf courses and that it’s about time for Williams Lake to step up to the plate. Staff said the city received no responses by residents either in support or in opposition to the application.

AN APPLE A DAY... On their doctors’ advice, many people take a baby Aspirin daily if they are at risk of heart attack or stroke. If you also take antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, take your Aspirin at least one hour before the NSAID to avoid an interaction that will lower the Aspirin’s ability to reduce heart attacks. Do you get CVS? That stands for Computer Vision Syndrome brought on by extended use of a computer. Symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes and neck and shoulder pain. To avoid CVS, blink frequently, take your eyes off the screen and give them a rest every 20 minutes or so and ensure your text size isn’t too small. And get up, stretch and walk around periodically. A recent government report comparing health statistics in 34 countries showed that Canada leads in the number of women dying of lung cancer. It’s 47 per 100,000 women. The reason seems to be that women were slower to adopt a non-smoking status due to the “light” and “slim” cigarette promotions of the 60s and 70s. Today, only about 14% of Canadian women smoke. It’s never too late to stop. Having said the above about women and smoking, women are far more likely to reach the age of 100 than men. Currently, for every 100 females who reach the age of 100, there are only 21 male centenarians. In the developed countries, Japan has one of the highest number of centenarians. There are some drug interactions that are more serious than others. Our pharmacists will attempt to let you know those that could be serious so you will know how best to take your medications.

Students and staff from Tsi Del Del School are going to Mexico in May to help build a home for a family in need.
City applies for fuel funds The city has applied to the Union of BC Municipalities for a fuel management program to the tune of $400,000. If successful, the program would target areas behind Woodland Drive and along Borland Road at 150 Mile. “One of these ar-
eas borders the city and the other one is at 150 Mile,” director of protective services Des Webster told council at the regular meeting Tuesday. Webster said there will be no cost to the city if the funding is approved. The application deadline is April 25.

Certainty in an Uncertain World FRIDAY
Chilcotin students help Mexican family Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Some students from Tsi Del Del (Redstone) School in the Chilcotin are off to help build a home in Mexico this May. In partnership with the international organization Homes of Home, the students will help erect a modular home in the coastal city of Ensenada for a family in need. “We’ll find out who our family is pretty soon,” said teacher Merissa Ang who will be taking her Grade 6,7,8 and 9 students to
Mexico. The seven students, Ang, her husband, Mark, who teaches physical education at the school, and support services, and two parents will visit Mexico for eight days. They will stay in an old hotel that’s been turned into a base for Homes of Home. “It’s on the beach and is pretty lovely,” Merissa said. For the students it will be a big trip. Alberta, Ottawa and Victoria are as far as any of them have travelled. Merissa had gone to
Mexico with students before and ever since she arrived at Tsi Del Del three years ago she’s been telling her students about the program. “This field trip is an epic opportunity to build a shelter for a family who needs it most,” student Cheiro Guichon said. Student Shayla Setah said she cannot wait to get to work. “I think building a home will be an awesome experience for a lot of my classmates and me,” she said. Together the group has almost reached its fundraising goal of
$16,000 and by April 9 only needed $4,500. “We’ve been doing bingos and bottle drives,” Guichon said. Other students going on the trip are Zoey Char, Lucas Hunlin, Christin William, Kayden Harry and Spencer William. On Wednesday the students were in Williams Lake to visit Lake City Secondary’s Columneetza Campus. They have been pen pals with a class at the school this year.

Marois went off message like Dix Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents. But the Parti Quebecois mused about separatism and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history. Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau proclaimed the need for independence. It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment, damage she could not repair. Even though some of those who voted against her support separatism, very few want a referendum any time soon. Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country and a poor job creation record.
Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this. The charter would not pass muster when challenged in court, so in the last week of the campaign, Marois stated she would use the notwithstanding clause to ensure it took effect. While some undoubtedly cheered, that was another reminder to many voters just how off course the PQ was. New premier Philippe Couillard has stated Canada is a great country to be part of. At the same time, he plans to vigorously defend the French language. However, he extended an olive branch to other Quebecers in his victory speech, which is a good omen. Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are numbered. – Black Press

Cowabunga dudes fuel fond family memories The trailer for the new Ninja Turtle movie coming out this summer brought back memories. Our family sure got a lot of mileage with the original ones. I first heard about the ninja turtles in a bad light. One of my sisters-in-law was complaining that her nieces and nephews were allowed to watch the cartoon. “They are really dark, violent and evil,” she insisted. So for the first few years our daughters were protected from the green guys.

Keeping Afloat Monica Lamb-Yorski
That lapsed when we arrived in Nelson and one of the movies was new in the theatre. My dad asked if my daughters would like to go and I said: “aren’t they too violent?” Dad frowned. “Good triumphing over evil
is always a good thing isn’t it?” he challenged. So off they went and that was it. Turtles began to influence us. Pizza birthday cakes with turtle action figures became popular. Often rags were hastily transformed into masks. One winter a snowman made by my husband featured a lifesized Ninja Turtle, Michael Angelo style, died green with food colouring. And often the girls argued about who was April O’Neil when the cousins were over playing.
Later we would acquire all three VHS movies and I’ll admit to plunking small boys in front of the video while I napped, only to awaken when the credits were rolling. I think these are memories many families share, but there’s one thing I am certain is unique. When living in Vanderhoof a neighbour showed me how to cut apples for sauce in a way that was different than what I was used to. She cut them in half, and carved out the core in a V-shape. It wasted less, she insisted.
I followed her lead and continued to cut apples for snacks that way from there on in. The first time I did it for our fifth child Nick, he smiled and exclaimed, “Cool. A turtle comm.” He was referring to the handheld walkie talkies used by the Ninja Turtles. I still smile about the time I returned from an outing to discover several quartered apples on the counter turning brown. When I asked what they were my husband stammered, “What the heck is a turtle comm?”

The digital wave is just beginning Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet? By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back. About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care. The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to. Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.) Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book

medical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit. Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking. By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will
have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even criminal record checks. All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you. “You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves
them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.” It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro. Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their
great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier. • A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation formalizes a cabinet appointment process for them.

Burning merchantable timber in B.C. still a problem Using a conservative estimate, there were 3,500 jobs lost in a 12-month period when the logs left after logging were burned. In the true spirit of recycling, I took this information from an article by Ben Pratt, Nov 29, 2006, in The Tyee. Some highlights of the article are as follows: “B.C.’s Ministry of Forests has long maintained a database known as the harvest billing system. “The database allows anyone to access information on the amount of trees being logged. By doing six simple searches of the database covering the most recent 12 months, The Tyee arrived at a province-wide figure for the amount of wood listed as ‘waste/ residue.’ “According to Coleman’s ministry, such wood is ‘merchantable,’ meaning it could be used to make lumber or pulp. “And according to the database, 3.5 million cubic meters
Forest Ink Jim Hilton of it, enough to fill the beds of 100,000 logging trucks, was left on the ground between Oct. 1, 2005, and Nov. 1, 2006. “Using a conservative calculation of one job per 1,000 cubic meters of wood, that so-called ‘waste’ could conceivably have kept two of the largest sawmills in B.C. busy for a year and put 3,500 additional people to work in our forest industry. “Instead, the wood was torched and forestry dependent communities lost untold opportunities to create jobs by making lumber and other products.” Additional information was provided that indicated that the
waste billing could be well below what is there. It appears that the government and industry has reached a compromise in that the payments made to the government for the logs wasted was just under $7 million in one year. If you take the time to read the article you will see a very disturbing photo of a huge cull pile (apparently one of the small ones.) It happens to have been taken by our local photographer and artisan, Fred Knezevich. The good news is (if there is any with this topic) this work supports the research I reported on previously in Forest Ink. The bad news is, it has been eight years since this article was published and I fear little has been done to address the issue. While my next article will give some actual examples of industries’ innovative use of wood waste, we will have to judge if the pressure for change must be continued.
Before finishing this column, I have a confession to make. In a previous article, it was stated the government had only achieved an apportionment of .98 per cent of the provinces Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) for community forests after 14 years of supporting the program and only .31per cent for woodlots over a longer period. A reader suggested an alternate source of information with more up to date data on issued community forest agreements and woodlot licences. The new data provided a more accurate estimate of 1.7 per cent for community forests and 2.1 per cent for woodlot licences. Using the same information it is possible to arrive at an apportionment of 2.4 per cent for community forests if one includes an amount the government has set aside but not yet approved, and an alternate long-term provincial AAC and not the current uplifted AAC.
For the purposes of the point I was trying to make, and in my opinion, this may be a bit too generous on the government’s behalf, but I respect another viewpoint that suggested the higher percentage. It is always humbling to admit a mistake or oversight but the most important thing is that the best information is used. It is therefore important to acknowledge the quick response of the reader and the alternate information source that was provided. I am still a little confused as to why the government maintains two sources of information that gives different answers. The lesson learned, double check your sources. 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.

77th Annual Bull Show and Sale starts next week Angie Mindus Cattle Country 2014 Trailers will be rolling into town next week filled with prized bulls set to be sold at the 77th Annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale. As of right now, 155 bulls will be up for sale, giving ranchers a selection of breeds to choose from; Gelbvieh, Shorthorn, Charolais, Limousin, Simmental, Angus and Hereford. Wilf Smith, the regional manager for B.C. Livestock, says the show and sale is a big event in the ranching industry. “This is one of the largest bull sales in Canada,” Smith said. “A lot of top notch bulls come here.” Many of the sellers have been coming to the Williams Lake Show and Sale for decades, as have
the buyers, who come from across B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan to get a chance to take home a prized bull for their operations.
So far this year Smith said bulls have been averaging anywhere from $3,500 to $7,000 each at Williams Lake sales. The show portion of the
event starts Wednesday at 1 p.m., with trophies presented after each class. Wednesday evening there will be a buyers and sellers social taking place at the
curling club. The sale kicks off Thursday at 11 a.m. Smith said there is also an agriculture display in the parking lot, where visitors can see the latest in livestock handling equipment, farm equipment,
fencing supplies, stock trailers, farm shelters and more. “It’s been a big hit,” Smith says. Everyone is welcome to attend the Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale, so head down and check it out.

The 77th Annual Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale kicks off Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Williams Lake Stockyards.
Frank Gleeson affectionately pats the head of one of his new calves, born this spring on the ranch near Wildwood. Frank and Betty met and married in Williams Lake in 1961 and both worked hard in order to build up their ranch from scratch. The couple raised four children and countless cattle over their five decades of ranching here,
but Frank might be best known through ranching and farming circles for his talents as a cowboy poet, singer and dancer. Frank’s humorous poem (and true story) about calving time is featured in this edition of Cattle Country, 2014. Look for this year’s Casual Country, published in July, for more about Frank and Betty Gleeson.

24 Years & Still A Buckin Good Time
Springtime in the Cariboo It was Springtime in the Cariboo and calving had begun Calves lay on the sidehill with hay up to their chin I check the cows each hour to see if more’s to come But the most excitement happened one morning when I took mom It was about 3 a.m. … a bright and frosty morn’ Clear and cool and light outside with no sign of a storm Now, we had this old tom-cat that follows us everywhere: the field, the barn, the tractor cab … it didn’t seem to care Now, on this fateful morn; he was walking close to mom But things started happening when the old cow saw him come We had this old black Angus cow that was gentle as a lamb But when she had her newborn calf, she became the Son of Sam Now, I knew she could be snorty and I knew she could be mean But at protecting her small baby I thought she was a queen Now, she always did like Betty and she wasn’t mean to me but the sight of that old tom-cat just drove her up the tree Now, the old cat, it came closer, and the old cow pawed the ground And then she made a lunge for it and the old cat ran to mom I hollered “hey come back here!” but the old cow wouldn’t come Now, mom stood for a moment and the old cow was getting close She decided to get out of there or she was going to be toast So, on that frosty hillside in the moonlit morning chills was mom, the cow, and that old cat … all heading for the hills. Now, the old cow’s gone to market and the tom-cat ran away We often sit and laugh about what happened there that day Now, I don’t have a stopwatch but I knew mom set a pace I think she’d have beat Ben Johnson if she’d had him in that race Now, people say move to town … I say there’s not a chance ‘Cause where could you have this much fun except home, out at the ranch.

Cowboy Carnival back by popular demand The 24th Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo is fast approaching April 1820, and with it also comes the popular, family-friendly Cowboy Carnival. It all starts at 9 a.m. with a chance for kids aged 10 and under to try their hand at becoming a cowboy or a cowgirl by getting down in the dirt at the arena. Stations will be set up with various events including dummy roping, stick horse barrel racing, riding a bucking barrel or meeting a real-life pony. Kids will also get to interact with the rodeo clown and Williams Lake Stampede Royalty, along with other fun activities. “Last year was our introduction to the event and the turnout was overwhelming,” said director and Cowboy Carnival co-ordinator, Brigette Peel. “It was pretty easy to see that this needed to become an annual part of the already fun-filled weekend of the Williams Lake

Back by popular demand this year will be the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo Cowboy Carnival April 18. Indoor Rodeo.” Terris Billyboy, the 2012 Williams Lake Stampede Princess, first brought the proposal to the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo directors after she returned from the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. “As Stampede Princess, I was fortunate enough to
be able to take part in the CFR’s Rodeo Magic,” Billyboy said. “There, children with special needs are paired up with competitors and rodeo royalty to tour the arena and take part in the stations set up. “It was very touching to watch and be part of the in-
teractions and it was a highlight of my reign as Stampede Princess. I knew right away this was something I needed to bring back to Williams Lake.” Billyboy said they began by inviting members from the Child Development Centre and the Strong Start program, and the carnival
grew from there. “In preparing for the event we received a phone call from a social worker stating their office had received the information and was invited to come, too,” she said. “We were concerned our little event was going to be much bigger than expected.” It definitely was, as an estimated 200-plus little cowboys and cowgirls came out to play cowboy for a morning. This year will likely follow suit as the carnival is scheduled for Good Friday. Doors open at 9 a.m. with the carnival running until 11 a.m sharp, as the arena needs to be prepared for the first rodeo performance Friday night at 6 p.m. Admission is absolutely free and all children must be accompanied by an adult. So dust off the tiniest of cowboy hats and polish those little boots and bring the kids down to the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo Cowboy Carnival.
Rodeo treats What do a ballet dancer and a bronc rider have in common? Well, they will all be at the 24th annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo April 18 to 20 at the Cariboo Memorial Complex. Maureen Saunders School of Dance, joins Stampede Royalty and West Coast Thunder Drill Team in opening the show Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday rodeos open at 1 p.m. with Sassy Six Gun and Porcupine Mounted Shooting Team, West Coast Thunder Drill Team, and Stampede Royalty. The Friday barn dance features Rockin’ Chair; the Saturday dance Lee Dinwoodie. Get ready to laugh with the antics of rodeo clown and barrel man Dennis Halstead and follow the action with Canadian prorodeo announcer of the year Brett Gardiner.

B.C. offers livestock insurance Gaeil Farrar Cattle Country 2014
B.C. cattle producers now have the same opportunity for insurance guarantees that have been extended to Alberta producers since 2009. The new Western Livestock Price Insurance Program was announced earlier this year by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and extends insurance to producers in B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba as a fouryear pilot program. “I think the Cattle Price Insurance Program or (CPIP) is good thing,” says Cuyler Huffman, Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association president. He says ranchers were able to subscribe as of March 26. “It is meant to protect producers in the event that future prices are adversely affected by any number of

potential threats,” Huffman says. “The cattle market has been quite volatile in the past number of years causing uncertainty and a lack of ability to plan for the future in our ranching businesses. “This program gives a little sense of security at least for the current year marketable calves or yearlings.” He says the program, run by the AFSC, compiles
data from nearly all auction markets in western Canada and from there determines what the settlement price will be for that particular day. “As with all insurance we hope that the market is above settlement price, therefore prices are strong and a payout will not occur,” Huffman says. “The program basically puts a floor in the marketplace.” He says the program is totally voluntary and premiums are reasonable, costing about ($3 per 100 pounds of weight) for maximum insurance all the way down to around ($0.50/cwt). That generally will cost around $15/calf insured and downward. The program is also available for feeder cattle, cattle weighing around 850 pounds, that generally go to pasture for the summer and are sold in early fall.

Insights into the heart of 4-H in the Cariboo Brenda Van Wyck Cattle Country 2014
Hello fellow citizens of Williams Lake and area. Some of you might know of an organization called 4-H. Others of you might wonder what it is and how it came to be. Lucky for you, I, the club reporter of the Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H club, am going to explain 4-H to you the very best I can. 4-H started way back in 1914. At that time it was called the Boys and Girls Club and the only projects were potato gardening and poultry. 4-H has come a long way since then. We changed our name to 4-H in 1952. 4-H stands for Head, Heart, Health, and Hands which we pledge for the better of our communities. After that, new projects were created like swine, lamb, and beef. As of 2014, 4-H has so many projects including lamb, beef, swine, gardening, poultry, photography, foods, small engines, tractor, wool craft, leather craft, rabbit, horse, dog, cavy (guinea pigs), and even adopt a grandparent. So you must be wondering, “What is a ‘project’ and how do you take one on?” Well, a project is a small group that has one leader and at least four members which allows you to raise or do something you love
Members of the Rose Lake/Miocene 4-H Club.
and sell and compete with it in 4-H. For example, let’s say you wanted to take on a market lamb project; you join your project at the beginning of the 4-H year which enables you to raise a market lamb. Then the search begins for the perfect lamb you want to raise, compete with and sell. You do not have to sell all of your projects. For example, using a lamb project, one can raise a ewe lamb, show the ewe lamb to be judged for breeding stock then bring the same lamb back the following year and compete as ewe with lamb at foot. Projects are a little more complex than just joining. Each project requires certain activities to be completed. Again using market lamb as an example, you

need to attend every market lamb meeting, get your animal sheered, train your animal for show, fill out a record book, and successfully complete husbandry checks made by your sheep leader. 4-H isn’t only about working within your project, we also work together in order to do community functions together as a club. The Rose Lake Miocene club does a lot of community services around Williams Lake such as the Stampede clean-up, we enter a float in the Stampede parade, help with business excellence awards cleanup, and put on petting zoos. Although 4-H is one big community, we are split up into groups called clubs. In our district alone there are eight clubs: Rose Lake/ Miocene, Canim Valley, • Hot complimentary breakfast Free WiFi / High speed internet • Hot tub • Fitness centre • Office centre • Flat screen TV in every room • Walking distance to town and recreation complex • Boston Pizza attached to hotel • Comfort and superior rooms plus kitchenettes available Highest quality service in keeping with Coast standards

Horsefly, Big Lake, Lone Butte, Highland, Springhouse, and Chimney Valley. We have 134 people registered in 4-H this year. The annual district show and sale at the end of sum-
mer is the week all 4-H members have been working towards. It is the final step in the journey of a 4-H year. Show and sale is a week of living at the stockyards and competing with your 4-H project against other clubs in the district. You compete in the final judging rally and for showmanship and market with your project. After all the competitions are over, the last night of show and sale weekend comes to an end during sale night. All market projects are auctioned off by 4-H members and sold to local business and individual supporters of 4-H. If it was not for the support of the Williams Lake Stockyards for providing a place to hold the auction and auctioneer, local businesses and individuals who show up to auction night

and bid on our projects, 4-H would not be the success it is. So to all of our supporters and on behalf of all fellow 4-H members we are very grateful and say a huge “Thank you!” 4-H is available to everyone from ages six to 21. It is a fun, agricultural, educational organization. We welcome everyone to come and see what 4-H is all about during our community functions and competitions. We would love to answer any questions you might have for us so don’t hesitate to seek us out and ask us! As 4-H members we pledge our “heads to clearer thinking, our hearts to greater loyalty, our heads to larger service, and our health to better living for our club, community, and our country.”

Love of ranching passed down through generations Monica Lamb-Yorski Cattle Country 2014
Fourth-generation rancher Clayton Hinsche is a busy guy. Along with his grandparents, parents, aunt and uncle, the four-year-old keeps busy at the family’s 137 and 141 Mile Ranches south of Williams Lake. He feeds calves from a bottle to “keep them strong,” cuts the strings on hay bails, goes with his dad, Ben, during haying, and helps his grandma pick Saskatoon berries. Clayton also attends daily 8 a.m. ranch meetings over breakfast at his grandparents’ home on the 141 Mile Ranch seven days a week. “I like the cows,” Clayton says. “I’m not afraid of them at all, but they do move around a lot.” He also loves spending the day with his dad or his
grandparents and doesn’t hesitate to point out his other loves — riding his pony or quad and practicing shooting his BB gun at milk jugs. Clayton’s great-grandparents Fred and Rose Hinsche bought the 141 Mile Ranch in 1948 from May Fields. Around 1996, his grandparents Cliff and Jo Hinsche bought the 137 Mile Ranch. All told, the family operation hosts roughly 500 head of cattle — mainly Herefords — and supplemental operations include selling hay and fencing. Between Ben, his brother, Garrett, and Jo and Cliff, everyone is busy with calving season, taking turns working around the clock. For the Hinsches, calving normally runs from March 1 until mid-April and because this year has been colder in the Cariboo Jo even made some

earmuffs for some of the calves to wear. Clayton’s mom Dana sells ranches and says there aren’t very many people
in the younger generation pursuing a life of ranching. “Younger people can make money more easily working at mines or the
mills,” she says, but points out while ranching definitely has its challenges, at least cattle prices are presently “very” strong. Dana grew up on the coast and embarked on selling ranches after her father Barry Kline passed away in February 2013. He had started a ranch real estate business, ranchesonly.com, in 2002, so she stepped in to take it over. The business covers five regions and hers is the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Since taking over, she’s noticed that more people are inquiring about the Cariboo-Chilcotin because they can get more land for their dollar, she says. One of the difficulties is the fact many ranches are being broken up to sell off separate titles. Often people are interested in 20-acre hobby farms instead of 2,000-acre, large cattle ranches, Dana says.
When asked if inquiries come from young investors, she shakes her head “no.” Most are in their 50s and already involved with ranching somehow, she explains. Because it takes on average three years to sell a ranch, she encourages ranchers to think ahead. “I would encourage any rancher who is thinking of selling to contact a realtor now instead of when he has to sell.” Clayton and his mom love the serenity of living on a ranch. “You can see all the stars,” Clayton says. The San Jose River runs through the property giving a serenity Dana wouldn’t trade for the world. Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to drive to town in half an hour is the best of both worlds, Dana says.

March 29 during the World Karate and Kickboxing Council Provincial Championships, hosted in Williams Lake.
Martial artists qualify for nationals Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Multiple Williams Lake Shogun Martial Arts Academy students recently punched their tickets to the upcoming World Karate and Kickboxing Council National Championships in Ottawa. Isaac Lauren, Liam Lauren, Bradley Clearwater, Macy Lainchbury, Raiden Lainchbury, Tanna Lauriente, Kurtis Olson and Jesse Alberts all plan to attend nationals, after picking up medals late March at Lake City secondary’s Columneetza Campus during the WKC Provincial Championships. Other local martial artists who medalled at provincials are still undecided. “All competitors that earned a medal are eligible to compete at nationals as part of the WKC BC Team,” said Shogun Martial Arts Sensei Lee-Ann Lainchbury, noting not all of the competitors who qualified for nationals, being held over the May long weekend, will be able to make the commitment. “All the competitors represented themselves and the club well. Some were participating for the first time.” At the WKC provincials martial artists competed in five disciplines
Williams Lake’s Raiden Lainchbury hits the mark during a match at the WKC provincials in the lakecity. including kata, team kata, weapons, point sparring and continuous sparring against competitors from around the province. The results from each of the events are as follows: Kata Isaac Lauren — silver; Tanna Lauriente — silver; Regan Miciuk — bronze; Macy Lainchbury — bronze; Breanne Grondines — bronze; Leah Blokland — bronze; Emma Grondines — bronze Team Kata Liam Lauren and Breanne

Lee-Ann said he did a great job, despite finishing out of the medals. “Third-time competitors like Leah Lauren and Leah Blokland faced a highly-skilled field and had their personal best performances, impressing coaches and spectators, alike,” Lee-Ann said. “Some like Tanna, Raiden and Isaac competed in three different disciplines and had solid showings in all of them. “We are proud of all of our students and how hard they worked to get to where they are both in class (belts) and during competition, medals or not.” To help fundraise for the upcoming national championships Shogun Martial Arts Academy students will be hosting bottle drives, and plant and candle sales. Anyone wishing to donate bottles to help the students with their travel costs is welcome to drop off bottles at Amanda Enterprises under Shogun Martial Arts.

Horsin’ Around features equine fun Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Everything to do with horses — that was theme this past weekend at Eagle View Equestrian Centre’s annual Horsin’ Around in the Cariboo. The event, which ran Saturday and Sunday, featured barrel racing, cattle sorting, sale horse presentations, reining demos, extreme trail demos and a dressage demo. Lori Rankin, manager of Eagle View Equestrian Centre, said it was a phenomenal weekend. “I want to thank our volunteer demo people for putting on a great show this weekend in between the featured events of barrel racing and cattle sorting,” Rankin said. She pointed to the
demo work of Lac La Hache’s Elli Meinart (reining), Williams Lake’s Lana Shields (bridle-less reining), McLeese Lake’s Katherine Langan (bridleless barrel racing), Puntzi Lake’s James Allan (extreme trail) and Williams Lake’s Christina Pittman (dressage) as being top notch. Results from Saturday’s barrel racing event are as follows: • Race one: Peewee winner — Williams Lake’s Mackenzie Hannas; Open winner — Kamloops’ Julie Leggett; Junior winner — Quesnel’s Perri-Lynn Leneve; Senior winner — Prince George’s Debbie Skwarchuk • Race two: Peewee winner — Hannas; Open — Puntzi Lake’s Nicole Hoessl; Junior — Leneve; Senior —

Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional. Do not use the dryer without a lint filter. Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum. Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time. Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you. Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks. Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly. Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer. Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.

Dryers should be properly grounded. Check the outdoor vent flap to make sure it is not covered by snow. Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, like boxes, cleaning supplies and clothing, etc. Clothes that have come in contact with flammable substances, like gasoline, paint thinner, or similar solvents should be laid outside to dry, then can be washed and dried as usual.

Williams Lake hockey player Julia Flinton, who plays defence for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s hockey team, recently won a bronze medal at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships.
Flinton, Huskies, claim CIS bronze Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It was a career-defining moment for Williams Lake’s Julia Flinton last month in the bronzemedal game at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s hockey championship. Facing off against Laurier March 16 in Frederickton, N.B., Flinton, 21, and her University of Saskatchewan Huskies teammates won 6-3 to claim the team’s first-ever medal. Flinton, a defenceman, recorded a natural hattrick in the first two periods — all of her goals coming on the power play — to be named player of the game. She was also awarded a tournament all-star. A third-year player with the team, Flinton said after coming off a first-round loss at last year’s CIS championships to Alberta, winning the bronze this year meant a lot to the team. “We decided to go into this year a little bit differently,” Flinton said. “Last year and the year before we were so young, but we have a lot of talent.
This year we decided you know what, screw the fact we’re young, it doesn’t matter — we can compete against these teams that have six or seven fifth-year players and we can compete and come out on top. “We definitely proved that and we were definitely not expected to do as well as we did.” The Huskies opened nationals with a 3-0 loss to Montreal, before downing St. Thomas, 3-2, to reach the bronze-medal game. Prior to reaching nationals, however, Flinton said she and her teammates experienced one of the most gruelling series of their lives during the Canada West finals against Regina — a 17-period affair that saw game one go to double overtime, game two go to quadruple overtime and game three go to double overtime, with the Huskies advancing after a 2-1 series win. Flinton — who finished the regular season fourth in the country in defence scoring with three goals, 13 assists and 16 points in 28 games — added it was great to
prove people wrong this season. “I remember having a talk with my coach near the end of the second half of the season and I just felt like I hadn’t played my best,” she said. “She told me: ‘You’ve played your best all year, so having an amazing game is a whole new level for you,’ which
was awesome because it’s been a while since I’ve hit that mark. “I had a really good year and I couldn’t have done it without the team around me, and I can’t wait for next year. I want hockey to start right now. It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited for a new season.”

Spring ... On The ROad Stretch dollars on your next road trip In an era of escalated airline ticket prices and extra travel expenses, road trips have emerged once more as a popular and cost-conscious mode of vacationing for individuals and families. Fodor’s Travels advises taking road trips across Canada in the summer, when temperatures average 23o C and snow and slush are a distant memory. Various trips exist that can take you through urban or rural areas. Those making road trips may be concerned about keeping costs down, particularly if saving money is the catalyst behind the road trip vacation. The following are a few tips to stretch dollars that much further on your next road trip. * Dine out sparingly. Road stops and drive-thru food expenditures can quickly add up during
Road-trippers can employ several strategies to save money on the road. the course of a road trip. Therefore, pack the majority of the food you will eat in a cooler. Not only will this save money, it will mean food is at the ready when hunger strikes. Food need not be all cold snacks, like sandwiches. Frozen burgers or refrigerated frankfurters can be cooked on a camp stove or tossed on a grill at a
park’s picnic area. Save restaurant dining as a special treat during the vacation. * Look for inexpensive lodging. While on a road trip you may need to compromise some of the comforts of home to save some money. Motel rates are another trip budget-buster. But by mixing overnights at motels with less ex-
pensive options you may be able to mitigate costs. Camp out at a safe campsite and purchase a shower ticket so you can enjoy a cheap, hot shower the next day. Spend a few nights under the stars; just be sure you have the right gear. Some also like to plan road trip routes between where relatives live and make pit stops

Did you know? In the future, cars may not be built and assembled at automotive warehouses and factories full of automated robots. They may be the product of more efficient manufacturing thanks to 3D printing, which can produce relatively inexpensive, light and efficient automobiles. One pioneer, Jim Kor, founder of the Urbee 2, a 3D-printed vehicle, made a threewheel, two-passenger vehicle with plastic through Fused Deposition Modeling, or FDM.

Spring ... On The ROad Common misconceptions about fuel efficiency Fuel efficiency is an important issue for car buyers, and understandably so. Conserving fuel is good for drivers’ budgets and the planet, so the concept of fuel efficiency would seem to benefit everyone. But just because fuel efficiency is a good concept does not mean there are not misconceptions about it among drivers and automotive professionals alike. The following are some of the more widely held misconceptions about fuel efficiency. * Full tanks conserve fuel. Many people have long believed that a nearly full tank of gas means the fuel within that tank is less likely to evaporate, and that tanks that half-full tanks are losing gas to evaporation. Though this might have been the case years ago, today’s vehicle’s are smarter than ever before, and their fuel systems are designed with vapor recovery systems so drivers
traveling around with tanks that are closer to empty than full aren’t losing gas to evaporation. * Manual transmissions are more fuel efficient. Technology can once again be credited with turning conventional wisdom on its head. In the past, manual transmission vehicles might have been more fuel efficient because drivers could more efficiently control engine revving with a 5-speed manual transmission than they could with the
standard 3-speed automatic transmission. However, automatic transmissions have evolved over the years, and they are now more adept at controlling revs and conserving fuel than many drivers of manual transmission vehicles. * When you fill up matters. Some drivers have long believed that filling up during the cooler hours of the day earns them more gas than filling up when the temperatures are at their peak. This theory traces its origins
to the fact that liquids are at their most dense when they are cool. But today’s filling stations store their gas in tanks beneath the ground, which is why you might see a tanker emptying its contents into the ground at the filling station. These underground tanks are insulated from temperature swings, so you aren’t likely to receive any more gas by filling up in the morning than you will when filling up at night. * An old vehicle is destined to be less fuel
efficient. Any product that is allowed to fall into disrepair will prove less efficient than products that are well maintained, and cars are no exception. A poorly maintained car will not operate at peak fuel efficiency because it’s likely being forced to work harder to get down the street than it would if it was well kept. But a well-maintained vehicle should not grow less fuel efficient over time. * Shifting into neutral while stopping saves gas. This is another misconception that was once true but no longer applies thanks to advances in technology. When engines still had carburetors, shifting into neutral might have helped conserve fuel by stopping the flow of gas into the engine while the car was idling. However, fuel injection systems are now computerized and capable of sensing when an engine is revving above idle. This shuts
wheel corrosion. “We all know that keeping tires properly inflated is important,” says Karey Davidson, president and CEO at RSR Global, a leading provider of products and services to Canadian automotive dealers that are aimed at protecting drivers. “But life is busy and, especially as a woman, checking my tire pressure is not high on my priority list. So nitrogen makes sense and it saves money too.” Davidson explains that nitrogen inflation can increase the life of tires up to 30 per cent, reduce the chance of tire failure by up to 50 per cent, and improve fuel economy between 3 and 6 per cent. The RSRnitro-
gen tire-fill is called GLOBALn2 and it can be done at the dealership prior to the delivery of a new vehicle or when an existing vehicle is brought in for service.
“Regular tire maintenance is especially important in Canada where our temperature fluctuations can be extreme,” Davidson adds. “Filling tires with nitrogen can relieve some of
that hassle.” When upgrading to nitrogen-inflated tires, remember to include spares and snow tires. More information is available at www. n2.rsr-global.com.

Inflating tires with nitrogen increases safety and simplicity NC) – Today, smart drivers are filling their tires with nitrogen, the preferred inflation method for race cars, airplanes, heavy equipment, and other high-performance vehicles. No longer do they endure the constant need to re-inflate as well as the inconsistent gas mileage. Why the switch? Nitrogen molecules are larger than conventional compressed air molecules, making it harder for nitrogen to escape the tire. Nitrogen does expand and contract with variations in temperature; however, not at the same rate as oxygen. And, pure nitrogen resists moisture better than compressed air does, helping to prevent
off the fuel injectors, preventing gas from being injected into the engine and preventing gas from being wasted while the vehicle is stopped as a result. Taking steps to con-

Sommer’s choirs excel Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Choir leader and music teacher Angela Sommer brought two gold-winning choirs to Cariboo Festival this year. Her Angelkeys Children’s Choir and Just for Fun Ladies Vocal Group were both presented with Gold awards during the special choir evening held Monday at St. Andrew’s United Church. The Just for Fun Ladies Vocal Group was started two years ago by a group of five women who felt they “couldn’t” sing but wanted to. “Our tag line was ‘We are just for fun and make a joyful noise,’” Sommer says. “Now the group has close to 30 members who sang so joyfully during their festival presentations that the adjudicator, Erica Northcott, awarded them not only Gold standing but high point adult choir winners of the festival. When the award was announced by festival president Ann Smith there was an audible gasp of disbelief among the women’s choir members, who had just finished their songs. They were up against the more experienced Quintet Plus and Cariboo Men’s Choir in the festival competition — choirs which also received gold standing. Quintet Plus choir leader and high school band teacher, Laura Eilers, won the choir directorship award. During the concert Monday Just for Fun Ladies Vocal Group joined the Cariboo Men’s Choir in singing The Rose, then for their individual performances they sang

Angela Sommer accepts the gold award from Cariboo Festival president Ann Smith as Angelkeys Choir winners look on. Tell My Ma; Sentimental Journey, California Dreamin’ and Mairi’s Wedding. During the past two years, Sommer says the Just for Fun group, has performed at Relay for life, the Children’s Wish Breakfast, International Women’s Day, Earth Day Celebrations and is planning to participate in many community events this spring and summer. The Just for Fun Ladies Vocal Group is open to women 16 years of age and older. Participation is free and no singing knowledge or ability to read music is necessary. “We deal with that during practices,” Sommer says. “We choose our songs as a group and make up harmonies and parts as we go,” Sommer says. “It’s never quite the same twice!” She says the choir is grateful to the Women’s Contact Society which supports the choir financially and also provides free childcare. The festival win also comes with a cash award. The Just for Fun Ladies Vocal Group meets every Friday evening
from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at St. Peter’s Anglican Church right after the Angelkeys Children’s Choir which practices at 6:30 p.m. on Friday evenings and also participates in many community events throughout the year. “Every child should have the opportunity to sing with others,” Sommer says of her Angelkeys Children’s Choir, which is open to all children ages five to 10. The fee is $45 per child for each threemonth session. “The children receive a booklet and CD with all the songs we are doing,” Sommer says. “The emphasis is always on fun,” Sommer says. “Music should be fun! My goal is to allow the children to give back to their community and create wonderful memories. “When I grew up I was invited to sing and play all over the small communities close to where I lived in Germany and later throughout Europe. “It was a great experience as a child and then as a teen and young adult performer which I still cherish today.”

Jack Chisholm Brown
December 19, 1923 - March 17, 2014 We are sad to announce the passing of our dear husband and father, Jack Chisholm Brown.

Barbecue season is here at last LAURA
Springtime, and the land is coming alive once again, after a rather harsh winter. I know it’s spring because I found a worm wriggling around in my garden that is now sans snow. The robins were snooping around the garden for those tasty worms. I presume they are tasty ... at least for robins and fish. I was raking my little garden trying to be careful of the many plants that are sprouting rather nicely, especially being careful with the herbs, primarily thyme and oregano. I used some fresh thyme with an egg dish I was cooking for breakfast and I appreciated the wonderful taste and aroma from this earthy tasting herb. Now that these delectable herbs are once again growing, I can switch from the dried type I stored for winter and start using fresh. I really enjoy this
Ken’s Country Kitchen
with Ken Wilson
time of the year when mother nature pops alive those that have had the big hibernation and spreads colour, also the air will soon be perfumed from the lilac bushes nearby. For those who don’t barbecue in the winter, now is the time to try some of your favourite recipes outdoors. It’s plenty warm enough now to do some nice steaks or ribs on the barby. You can do this next recipe on the barbecue or in the oven. Your choice. Roasted Sweet Potato Fried • 2 medium sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tsp paprika • 2 tsp of fresh ground salt • 1 tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp freshly cracked pepper • ½ tsp cumin Heat the oven or barbecue to 400 degrees then cut the potatoes into the size of fries you want. Mix all other ingredi-
ents together in a large bowl and toss with the potatoes until they are evenly coated. Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for about 30 minutes turning the fries once or twice to
cook evenly. Sprinkle with salt and serve. Springtime, what a lovely time of the year. Time to do some spring cooking on the barbecue. Bye for now and Goood Cooking. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Advisor.
From Carpentry to Landscaping Spring is here... now is the perfect time to complete those home renovations and yard landscaping you have been dreaming about and turn your ideas into reality!!!
is BACK!!!
