Spring is bursting out all over the Cariboo these days with pussy willows and tulips pushing up from the ground, geese and swans returning from their southern adventures and a whole new crop of farm animals coming into being. Here Josie Nairn (left) shows Olivia Dickens her twin Alpine Nubian goats born this spring at her hobby farm in Chimney Valley.

Our obligation is to learn from what happened and to learn from the report,” Bennet said. A reopening would be for more than six months but less than a year. Details will be shared if the application is accepted. Mount Polley will host a community meeting in Likely on Wednesday, April 1, from 7 to 9 p.m.

even with intensive resources being applied by government, permits wouldn’t be granted until early June. Bennett praised MLA Donna Barnett and Minister Coralee Oakes for their daily push to have the mine start up again. Two reports on the Aug. 4, 2014 tailings impoundment breach are still pending, including one from the Chief Inspector of Mines and rgw Conservation Officer Service. In the meantime, government is acting on the recommendations

Energy and Mines minister Bill Bennett said he’s hopeful to have good news Friday regarding the temporary reopening of Mount Polley Mine. “We are in a position now whether to accept the company’s application to restart for formal review,” Bennett told the Tribune Thursday. “If the application is accepted it will be referred out immediately to the Cariboo Region Mine Review

Committee. There will be a final decision made Friday.” The final decision rests with a statutory decision maker, however, Bennett said his staff has told him the company’s restart plan is high quality and looks promising. If accepted the committee will begin to review the application on March 30, coinciding with a 30day public consultation period that will conclude on April 29. “You can see that we’re trying to keep a very expeditious time line,” Bennett said, however, he warned

City council sets sights on policing budget Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Policing remains the single largest cost to the city’s budget, consuming about 40 per cent of total general revenue. For 2015/16 the city is being asked to confirm a $3.2 million cap for its share of the costs for RCMP, an amount some council-

lors say is something the city has no control over. “It’s consuming 40 per cent of our general revenue of the budget, this one file alone,” Coun. Ivan Bonnell said during Tuesday’s regular meeting. “It grows annually with no control in council’s capability. It’s not about quality of service or the membership at the

detachment, but it is a fiscal issue.” Coun. Scott Nelson said the problem is the costs are averaged out across the entire province and that artificially inflates the costs to the municipality. “I think we just have to put a little bit more focus on this entire cost as a community,” Nelson said. The costs are deter-

mined per head, and one way to cut costs would be to reduce the number of officers, Mayor Walt Cobb said. “But I am not sure we want to go there at this particular time,” he added. The local detachment remains one of the busiest in the province. According to the lat-

est report provided by the RCMP, the Williams Lake detachment received 8,690 calls for service in 2014. Within that amount there were 79 thefts of vehicles and 92 thefts from vehicles. There were 85 break and enters into residences which is a 20 per cent increase from 2013. There were 35 calls

for break and enters to businesses, which translated into a 94 per cent increase over the same calls in 2013. Also on the increase were robbery calls, with 27 calls equalling a 93 per cent increase over 2013’s robbery calls. There were 82 spousal assaults, 356 calls for mischief and 386 false alarms, which

both continue to be on the decrease since 2008 when the calls for mischief totalled 655 and false alarms numbered 878. Presently the budget covers 24 full-time equivalent positions. It is estimated the city will pay 70 per cent of policing costs at $2,883,080 and 100 per cent of accommodation at $345,640.

Communities. By using the standardized guidelines, Williams Lake statistics can be folded into the provincial statistics with other B.C. Communities, thus contributing to the large provincial picture. Additionally, the results are more likely to be recognized by the provincial and federal governments if Williams Lake were submitting proposals for funding for services and housing for this population. Several community organizations were con-

Special to Tribune/Advisor On Feb. 16, 2015, a team of health care workers, social workers and community volunteers conducted the Williams Lake Homeless Count. The Williams Lake Housing and Homelessness Committee, chaired by Ian McLaughlin, decided last November to begin organizing for a 2015 count. Tom Salley, Wayne Lucier, Dave Preeper, Crystal Williams, Scott McLaughlin and Heather Robin-

tacted to assist with the count. These included: Cariboo Friendship Society Shelter and Chiwid House, RCMP lock up staff, Cariboo Memorial Hospital, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul. These agencies conducted counts at their overnight facilities or assisted our team during the daytime count. Our daytime count team included; Heather Robinson and Marijean Day from Interior Health, Dave Preeper, Child Development Centre, community

volunteers Ollie and Richard Martin, Jackie Kling-Williams, Boys and Girls Club, Wayne Lucier and Tom Salley from Canadian Mental Health Association. During the count we were able to identify 59 homeless people. Of those 59 people, 32 were adult male, 19 were adult females, three males ages 18 and 19, four females ages 17 to 19, one four-monthold child with mom. No seniors over the age of 65 were counted. Of those completing a survey, 30 checked

AN APPLE A DAY...

Pharmacists are often asked “Do I have to take this drug forever”?... especially if the symptoms have disappeared. Stopping some drugs abruptly can cause health problems. If you have any questions about one of your medications, our pharmacists will give you the information you need. There are people who still clean their ears out with those cotton-tipped applicators. Not a good idea! It could result in damage to the eardrum. There are some good ear drops to remove ear wax. Even using vegetable oil in the ear will help. Did you know that pharmacists were involved in formulating two of the most popular soft drinks in the world? They are Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Coca Cola. The ginger ale was called “dry” because it had less sugar in it than other products. It was a big seller during the Prohibition Era because, used as a mixer, it made homemade booze more palatable. Want an easy source of fibre? Try figs. Five of them (about 40 grams) contain five grams of fibre, 70% of which is insoluble fibre to provide bulk to your bowels. The rest is soluble fibre which helps lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and slows digestion of carbohydrates to aid in stabilizing blood sugar. Tasty too! Ensuring enough fibre in your diet is a good habit to get into. Another good habit is to use our pharmacy for all your health needs. We welcome you.

the addictions box, 16 checked the mental health condition box, eight checked the medical condition box, four checked the physical disability box. Twenty-four-hour homeless counts are considered by most social scientists, to be on the very conservative end of estimating homeless populations. The reason is, that we cannot find all the homeless in one day. The homeless population that couch surfs at someone’s place is hard to track, as are those

sleeping rough. While there were 59 that one day, the likelihood is that there are significantly more people homeless than we were able to count on Feb. 16. The Williams Lake Housing and Homeless Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the count. We literally cold not have done this without your help and involvement.

TELUS is almost ready to start lighting up Williams Lake with its new fibre-optic service. “We anticipate the first interested residents will be able to start signing up for TELUS products and services in April,” says company spokesperson Liz Sauve. The map found at telus.com/williamslake is a great resource for people to look up when their area will be fibre ready, Sauve says. “The map is constantly updated as we move through the build,” Sauve says. “This is also the first time Optik TV will be available in Williams Lake, which gives residents more choice than they previously had when it comes to TV service.” She says the new infrastructure is the most advanced communications technology available in the world today, and once the work is complete, connected homes and businesses will immediately experience dramatically faster Internet speeds. In the long-term, she adds that families and businesses will have more than enough capacity to meet growing demand for generations to come. She says TELUS is investing “millions and millions’’ in fibre-optic

upgrades, specifically $8 million in the Williams Lake area, which during the building phase is generating a flurry of economic activity in the community which is great for local hotels and restaurants. She says the fibreoptic build comes at no cost to taxpayers. “There’s no clause about having to be an existing TELUS customer to get the build to your home, nor is there a commitment to purchase TELUS services once the build is complete,” Sauve says. She says the system will enable local businesses to operate locally but compete globally, which TELUS expects will mean positive things for the community in attracting talented professionals. “We’ve found there are a number of beautiful places across B.C. where people would want to live, but may not have the infrastructure necessary for people to start a flourishing business, or work remotely and from home,” Sauve says “A lot of home owners have told us they feel the build adds value to their property, joining a small fraction of just four per cent of Canadian homes that are directly connected to fibre optic cables, offering access to worldclass services and the most advanced technology available today and into the future.”

Williams Lake

Horse ride and barbecue set for veterans Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Supporting veterans is so important, Branch 139 Legion president Bonnie O’Neill said as she invited the community to a fundraising barbecue Sunday in Williams Lake. The event will be in support of Communities for Veterans Foundation Ride Across Canada being led by veteran Paul Nichols and his wife

Terry of Quesnel. The official ride will begin in Victoria on April 13 and is anticipated to take 200 days. “Paul said he’s taking a leap of faith and wants to change the face of veterans in this country,” O’Neill said. On the ride, Nichols will be inviting veterans to join in. “He wants communities to understand how veterans have helped them and he

wants to gather their stories,” O’Neill said, adding at one time someone from Bosnia came and thanked Nichols personally for changing his life. The event in Williams Lake will kick off at noon with a ride from the Stampede Grounds leaving at 12:30 p.m. “We’ve invited all of our veterans that we have on our books to ride with him. It will be a tiny parade. Ron Mulvahill

is bringing his horse and wagon for our First World War veterans.” The parade will end at the legion where there will be a silent auction, hamburger dinner, and a little bit of music. “We will do the things that we do well and I think it will be a lot of fun,” O’Neill said. “Because he’s a Cariboo boy, every legion along Highway 97 is holding fundraisers.”

2) Gutters – Make sure that they are secured tightly to the home and that any rust found is either minimized or removed. Also check for holes or leaks that may cause damage now or in

Rearranging furniture and a fresh coat of paint can dramatically change the look of a room. By using colour tones, you can open up small spaces with light colours, and warm up a room with tones of red, orange or yellow. An access wall can create a great focal point; try a colour such as a rust red! Keep in mind, the darker the tones, the more coats of paint you will need. Add new paint to coffee or end tables can freshen up a room, and try rearranging furniture

in a curve rather than at right angles, this appears more inviting. Rearrange your wall art as well by creating unique groupings of different size frames, or for a sleek look create a row of identically sized and framed pieces of art. If you are unsure of colour combinations, visit a paint store and check out the colour schemes on paint chips and catalogs professional designers have assembled. Good luck, have fun!

Mortgage Penalties – Are they Appropriate?

It’s easy to be excited about purchasing a new home, or refinancing your mortgage to pay down debt, to make your life a little more easier. At the time of signing those mortgage papers, do you think of what the penalty would be if you were to payout the mortgage earlier than the term you are signing in at? When you take a mortgage with one of the Big Banks, they used to start negotiating with you at a Posted Bank Rate. Pretty much nobody does that anymore. Banks are competitive and will offer you a lower interest rate and advertise to you that you are receiving a ‘discounted interest rate’. With houses as expensive as they are today, it is impor-

tant to get the lowest mortgage interest rate available. The same thought process should be viewed when it comes to penalties. Even though we go into this process assuming we are going to be in that home/mortgage for the full length of the term selected – life happens. Whether it is a growing family, marital separation, down sizing or interest rates decreasing enough to ask whether it’s worth breaking your mortgage term. Approximately 70% of mortgage holders break their 5 year fixed term mortgage prior to it’s expiry. Generally, it’s to refinance or move to a bigger home. When you are to payout a mortgage prior to the expiration of that term (i.e. paying

it out in 3 years, when it’s a 5 year term), the lender charges you a penalty. The intention of this penalty it to compensate the lender for interest payments it loses out on when you break the mortgage contract. Lenders have 2 ways on how to calculate the penalty. They will charge you (a) 3 months interest at the time of payout, or they will charge you (b) an Interest Rate Differential (IRD) Penalty. Generally, if you have a Variable Rate Mortgage product, expect to pay 3 months of interest at the time of paying the mortgage out. With Fixed Rate Mortgage products the penalty is set at the higher of the 3 months interest or the IRD

penalty. They key question when obtaining a fixed rate mortgage is… ‘Do you compare the term to posted or discounted rates?’. This is important because the larger the difference between your current interest rate and the rate they are comparing it to, the larger the penalty. As an example – 3 years ago you obtained a $250,000 5 year fixed term mortgage and now the balance is $200,000. Assuming the original mortgage rate of 3.64% was discounted by 1.5%, the mortgage prepayment at several Big Banks range from approximately $5,000-$7,600. Alternatively, lenders that compare the rates to their discounted terms found penalties ranging from approximately

$1,800-$2,800. All lenders are required to post on their websites a Mortgage Prepayment Calculator showing you how the penalties are calculated. As well as increasing revenue for Big Banks, these higher penalty calculations help maintain that client who might otherwise move their business to another lender. Imagine if you found a lower rate somewhere else, but the penalty on your current mortgage is too expensive for you to move your business. Other (alternative) lenders that just want your mortgage business, often have better rates than the Big Banks and they typically have cheaper penalty fees. So why use a bank? It’s because of the

client’s comfort level. They know that person in the branch and may feel they have a long standing relationship with them, and of course convenience. In the long run, it may cost you to have these benefits. Keep in mind, there are some limiting mortgage products that offer great, low interest rates. Look at the fine print. That specific mortgage product may only allow the term to be broken short of selling your home or a higher penalty. Sometimes it’s not all about the rate, you need to delve into the details of that mortgage product. My last piece of advice consult a mortgage expert. Submitted by Diane Buchanan Dominion Lending

Home & Garden Spring Lawn Care A healthy lawn is an important part of your home landscape. A lush, green lawn beautifies your garden and complements your deck or patio. After a long winter, you need to bring your lawn back to life. Follow these simple guidelines and soon you’ll have a healthy, weed-free lawn everyone can enjoy. Thwart Thatch Thatch is a layer of partially decomposed stems and roots that builds between your grass and soil surface. Some thatch is beneficial - it conserves ground moisture, cushions turf and insulates soil from extreme temperatures. But anything more than

half an inch thick can be problematic. Heavy thatch can repel water, dry up roots and provide cover for unwanted insects. Control thatch by raking your lawn with a power rake or using a lawn aerator. A lawn aerator pulls cores out of the soil, allowing water, light and air to enter and gradually break down thatch. Severe cases of thatch may require the use of a mechanical dethatcher, or complete removal and replanting of sod. Ask The Home Depot Tool Rental Centre about renting tools to manage thatch. Prep Soil Proper soil preparation

can take your lawn from blasé to beautiful. Improving your lawn soil allows roots to grow deeply and more evenly, making your lawn more resistant to drought. To restore valuable nutrients and build soil structure, spread organic material such as compost, peat moss or well-rotted leaf mould evenly on your lawn before seeding. You can also use a specially formulated lawn soil. Overseed, Overseed Overseeding is often overlooked when it comes to home lawn care. Extra seeding can repair bare patches and create a thick lawn that crowds out weeds and resists insects

moisture to germinate, which can take up to three weeks. Be vigilant and water the seed daily, ensuring it stays moist but not wet. Only once you start to see the grass seed germinate should you begin to cut back on watering. Water new and established lawns early in the morning to avoid any water being lost to evaporation. Also, avoid watering at night—your lawn will likely stay wet, providing an ideal environment for disease. Once your lawn is established, water deeply (unless it has rained) with at least one inch of water per week to encourage healthy roots.

Use an Eco-Friendly Fertilizer Your lawn will naturally thrive if you pay attention to it early in the season, but lawns do require fertilizer in order to stay healthy and maintain a lush green appearance. Every eight weeks, use an eco-friendly fertilizer - not only do these products promote strong root development and choke out weeds, they are also safe to use around children and pets, and are permitted in areas with pesticide/herbicide bans. Homemade compost is a natural alternative you can use to provide essential nutrients for a thick, green lawn.

and disease. Purchase a grass seed appropriate for the conditions you are growing in. For example, a lawn that receives an average amount of sun requires an allpurpose blend such as Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Grass Seed. Distribute it evenly onto your lawn using a handheld spreader. If you have a large property, consider investing in a push broadcast spreader. Lightly rake the soil to create seed-soil contact, but don’t cover the grass seed as it needs direct sunlight to germinate. Water Soil Grass seeds need direct sunlight and regular

Add some fresh colour to kitchen cabinets...

Homeowners who cannot afford a full remodel can still give their kitchens a new look and can do so for relatively little money. Painting kitchen cabinets a new color or simply giving fading cabinets a fresh coat of paint can instantly add life to a kitchen, giving the room an entirely different feel without breaking the bank. The following are a few tips for homeowners planning to paint their kitchen cabinets. * Assess your existing cabinets. Some cabinet materials, including wood and metal, can be repainted without much of a fuss. But other materials, including plastic laminate, are not so amenable to repainting, and

will likely require specialty paints. Homeowners with plastic laminate cabinets should first paint a spot or two with a sample paint, being careful to choose a spot that’s concealed. If the paint bonds well to the plastic laminate, then you can go forward and buy enough paint to redo all of the cabinets. If the paint does not take, consult a professional to find a paint that’s likely to be a better fit. Expect this process to be one of trial and error. * Plan for ornate cabinets to take a little longer. Painting projects will go faster when cabinets have flat fronts, but they can take considerably longer when cabinets are unique and

more detailed. If your cabinets are ornate, then factor this extra time into your schedule. * Remove the doors and hardware. When painting cabinets, it’s best to essentially disassemble them, removing the doors, handles, knobs, latches, and any additional hardware. When removing hardware, be sure to set them aside in clearly marked plastic bags so it’s easier to reassemble the cabinets once the fresh coat of paint has dried. As doors are removed, number each door and its corresponding location, much like products that require assembly are numbered at the factory. This makes it easier to

reassemble and ensures the cabinets and their hinges will align properly once you have finished painting. * Don’t paint dirty surfaces. Cabinet surfaces have likely collected their

share of dirt, grease and grime over the years, so you want to clean these surfaces thoroughly before painting. Once surfaces have been cleaned, rinse them off and give them ample time to dry.

* Sand the surfaces. Once the surfaces have been cleaned and are completely dry, it’s time to start sanding them. CONTINUED ON PAGE 20

Lightly sand the doors using a wood sanding block, working to create a firm base to which fresh paint can easily adhere. Areas that are most exposed to wear and tear may require some extra elbow grease, and some areas may be especially flaky. When old paint is flaking off, this means the previous finish did not adhere very well to the surface, which is not necessarily uncommon in kitchens, where moisture and grease residue can make it harder for paint to adhere to the surface. In such instances, sand the flaky areas to the bare wood before spot-priming with a

primer or sealer designed for areas with heavy staining. After all of the sanding is complete, vacuum the surfaces. * Apply primer-sealer. Primer-sealer ensures the fresh paint will bond well to the surfaces, preventing conditions like flaking in the future.

* Paint the cabinets. After the primer-sealer has been applied, it’s time to paint the cabinets. Begin with the inside edges and openings of the face frames, followed by the outer cabinet sides and then the front of the frames. Then move on to the cabinet doors and any drawer fronts you might be painting as

well. Cabinets with more elaborate designs require closer attention to detail than flat cabinets. When painting, opt for thin coats, which dry more quickly and also create fewer visible brush strokes. When applying multiple coats, allow the paint ample time to dry between coats. Four hours between coats is a good rule of thumb, and lightly resand all surfaces before applying the second and final coat of paint.

* Reassemble the cabinets. Once the final coat of paint has fully dried, carefully reassemble your cabinets and then enjoy the fresh and inexpensive new look that your freshly painted cabinets have created.

Home & Garden Nine ways to improve curb appeal Homeowners who want their homes to make strong first impressions must prioritize curb appeal. Homes with strong curb appeal sell well and can impart a welcoming feel to all visitors. Improving curb appeal need not be expensive, and the following are a handful of ways to improve the appearance of your home. 1. Install a bold-looking door in a vibrant color or one with a custom design. This helps the home stand out from other properties in the neighborhood. 2. Edge the driveway

to create a distinct border between the driveway and the lawn or other landscaping features. This helps homes appear neat and well kept. 3. Use outdoor lighting to make a home more inviting. Outdoor lighting also makes properties safer to traverse at night. 4. Clean a home’s exterior to remove mildew or discolorations from the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements. 5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color. Homeowners without the time to plant can

consider container gardens, which don’t take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a home’s exterior. 6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color. 7. Add shutters and accent trim to a home’s exterior to improve on the beauty of the house. 8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence. 9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entry ways more impressive and inviting.

The Williams Lake Midget Female Timberwolves celebrate after defeating Terrace 3-2 in overtime to claim the bronze medal at the Midget Female BC Hockey Championships.

T-wolves bring home bronze from championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer While many students were away enjoying spring break, rep hockey players from Williams Lake were working their tails off at their respective BC Hockey Championships. The Williams Lake Midget Female Timberwolves, the Williams Lake Midget Men’s Timberwolves and the Williams Lake Bantam Female Timberwolves all competed against the best teams in the province at the championships, which all wrapped up last week. And no team could be more excited with the results than the female T-wolves, who captured a bronze medal after defeating Terrace in a 3-2 overtime thriller. Williams Lake opened the tournament, hosted in Penticton, with a 3-1 setback against Surrey, before following up with a 2-1 win over the North Island Impact and a 4-1 victory over Kamloops. Taking on Richmond for a chance to advance to the gold-medal match, the T-wolves were edged, 1-0, placing them in the bronze-medal contest. There, Caitlyn Ray provided the heroics, boosting the team to the 3-2 come-from-behind overtime win. Callissa Broomfield and Eli Davies notched the other markers in the winning effort. Midget Female Timberwolves head coach Pete Montana said for him the season was an interesting journey, and in some ways an ex-

Their coach said at the end of the game we were the toughest team they played all year, and they were headed to their seventh straight final, so to walk away from that game going, hey, we were right there.

For the Bantam Female Timberwolves, their tournament ended with no wins versus tough teams from Castlegar, Surrey, Kelowna, Richmond and South Island. The team’s season, however, was highlighted last month after defeating the Prince George Bantam Female Cougars in a bestof-three series to win the Cariboo Amateur Hockey Association championship. The team had been the underdogs all season with just five wins under their belts prior to the CAHA championships. “We beat the odds,” Pierce told the Tribune. “Nobody expected us to be here.”

Notice of Intent to Treat: Pest Management Plan #2013-2017-3 Confirmation #738-0019-13/18 The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Cariboo Region, is planning to aerially treat up to 16,000 hectares of Douglas-fir forest to reduce populations of western spruce budworm, Choristoneura occidentalis.

Cecil Grinder had one of his drums out — they were yelling ‘T’ and ‘Wolves’ as loud as they could.” For the Midget Men’s Timberwolves head coach Steve Carpenter it was a tale of two teams. The club narrowly missed the playoff rounds after their fate was decided by the tournament host, Trail, who knocked the Twolves out of contention by scoring in the final 12 seconds of their game against North Delta. “The first two games we didn’t play nearly up to our abilities, then our last two we played really well,” Carpenter said. “It was unfortunate we put ourselves in that position.

Cariboo gold rush heats up KIJHL Photo submitted

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Chase Heat president Scott Koch likes to refer to it as the Cariboo gold rush. That’s after his team has been inundated with Williams Lake hockey talent over the years, brought to a pinnacle this season in the team’s most successful campaign in its four-year existence. This year’s squad was captained by Williams Lake forward Kaleb Boyle, who also joined local players, goaltender Michael Byer and forward Chad Wilde, in helping the team to 25 wins, 19 losses, two ties and six overtime losses during the 2014/15 season. The record put the team in second place in the Doug Birks Division, where they eventually fell to the 100 Mile House Wranglers in the divisional playoff semifinals to close out the year. “I used to joke it was the Cariboo gold rush from Williams Lake to Chase,” Koch said. The first of the lakecity contingent to join the Heat was McKenzie Guardiero, who was followed by brothers Drew and Chad Wilde, then Kaleb Carpenter, Boyle and Byer. “All the Williams Lake boys have been just wonderful kids from great folks,” Koch said. “It’s an interesting phenomenon. They clearly come from good families. The Williams Lake contingent has come down to home games quite a bit and they’re real solid citizens supporting their boys.” Of those players, just Chad is eligible to return next season.

one tie, with a 3.33 goals against average and a .912 save percentage. At the team’s award banquet on Saturday, March 7, both Boyle and Byer brought home hardware. Boyle was presented the most valuable player, the fan favourite and the

game star award. Byer also won the game star award. “They’ll be missed,” Koch said. “Our first year we won five games, our second year we won 11 games, then just kept improving to where they are now. Every year we build to be better and better.”

While the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League is preparing to swing into the season, Mother Nature has pitched it a strike. During the Saturday, March 14, windstorm a tree fell across a power line at the Esler Sports Complex damaging the WLSPL concession, ripping out the hydro metre, electrical mast and bringing down power lines. “It’s going to cost thousands to fix,” said WLSPL president Linda Barbondy. “We didn’t

Early spring brings out ticks Interior Health is warning the public of an early spring tick season. The early arrival of spring weather translates to more people spending time enjoying the great outdoors, however, IH notes humans aren’t the only ones basking in the unseasonable warmth. The change in weather also brings out ticks — small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. “Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas, so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children and your

A warm spring has ticks out in full force. pets after being outdoors are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” said Gwen Barker, communicable disease specialist with IH. The most common tick species in the IH region is the wood tick, which does not carry the lyme disease bacteria. Barker said the wood tick can, however, carry other diseases such as rocky mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. She added some ticks also have toxins that can cause tempo-

rary muscle weakness and paralysis if attached for several days, but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed. Signs of many tickborne infections can be similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and rash. The tick species that carries lyme disease (Ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low number in the Interior, Barker said. “Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in

B.C. carry lyme disease,” she said. “In addition to fever, headache and muscle pain, people infected with lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a ‘bull’s eye’ target and expands from the site of the tick bite. “Most tick bites do not result in illness, however, all tick bites should be cleaned as an infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin. It’s important to watch for signs of ticktransmitted illnesses. ANyone who experiences a bull’s-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.” Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas • Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and lightcoloured clothing • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots • Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin • Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live

• Having a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house • Widen and maintain trails on your property If you find a tick on yourself, a family member or pet wear gloves and gently remove it. Needle-nose tweezers can be used to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

Connect Parent Group registration now being taken Sheila Cohen

Special to Tribune/Advisor Sometimes wonder and worry about your child’s behaviour? Concerned about your relationship with your child? Feel like you just don’t know what to do? Past methods have focused on controlling the behaviour. Many parents and caregivers have struggled with this as it does not produce the results they hoped for.

Once again Canadian Mental Health will be hosting their very informative Connect Parent Group. The Connect Parent Group is a series of workshops in Williams Lake that takes a different approach than most other parenting groups. Rather than focusing on behavioural management techniques, the Connect Parent Group focuses on enhancing the building blocks of attachment,

improving the parents’ ability to reflect before acting, and adjust their feelings so they respond more constructively to conflict. The series of free 10 one-and-half-hour sessions is delivered over 10 weeks. Parents watch roleplays presented by two facilitators that open new choices for responding to their adolescent’s difficult behaviour. Parents learn, for example, that conflict is

Cariboo Festival well worth supporting Informative and entertaining Michelle Erlandson

Special to Tribune/Advisor The Cariboo Festival has been around for 58 years and yet I am often hearing from people they have never heard of this annual event. I grew up participating in the piano section of the Festival but lately have decided to enter as an adult. In fact, many adults enter the local Festival. Disciples of piano, singing, strings, other instrumentalists, band, speech/ drama and creative writing can all be entered by a wide range of ages and abilities. • • • • • •

The learning and honing of new skills is something that never needs to come to an end and the Cariboo Festival encourages on-going learning. The Festival committee brings in adjudicators to share their knowledge of a specific discipline. These adjudicators work with students of all ages and levels and are not only informative but often quite entertaining. Do you have a desire to keep learning and growing in art appreciation or in performing? Come out and listen to the various sections

Some of these traditions include Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, First Nations, Messianic Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and Yogic — as well as many women whose spiritual lives and beliefs are less-defined, Livingston says. For the past year and a half, the WSC has been meeting to plan inter-faith bridging events and to increase opportunities for women of diverse spiritual traditions to meet and grow in relationship. “Each month, we attend at least one ceremony or spiritual event celebrated by one of the faith groups or spiritual leaders in the area,” Livingston says.

Come Out for a Day or a Weekend stay!

The other day I was in Williams Lake and noticed people raking and cleaning their yards and it made me realize that the snow is almost all gone and we will soon be doing the same. I have spoken to lots of people that are getting the spring fever bug and planting their seed starts already, myself included! I took in a fun spring event in Horsefly last night The Arts On The Fly Chilli Cook-off. I think this is the 5th cook-off they have had as a spring fundraiser. The event is so much fun, $10 per person or $25 for the whole family to attend, eat, and cast your vote! This year brought ten entries for Chilli! The set up is great, you get a table that you decorate (for a chance at a prize) you make cornbread (for a chance at a prize) and you make chilli (for a chance at a prize), each entry gets the chance to win 3 times! I went in, paid my $10 dollars and recieved my voting chips and off I went to eat all the delicious chilli’s and cornbreads. The Chilli’s we’re amazing, from smoked meats, beef, pork, chicken, vegetarian, organic! Some had additives that were so hot, they made my eyes water! You need a fix of cornbread to cool your mouth down. Great fun! There was lots of entertainment as you enjoyed your chilli and cornbread, great singing and musical instruments made it a really fun evening! This year the Horsefly Volunteer Fire Department came in first place with their chilli, volunteer Judy Hillaby was the chilli cook

Patricia Belbin

August 10, 1948 - March 22, 2015 We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Patricia (Patti) Belbin, of Kamloops, on March 22nd, 2015 at 66 years old; loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She is survived by her loving husband, Bob Belbin, her children Peter (Nellie) Belbin, of Kamloops, Patrick (Suki) Belbin, of Penticton, and Chad (Julie) Belbin, of Kamloops. Also left to cherish her memory are Patti’s grandchildren: Santana Belbin, Nolan Belbin, and Finley Belbin; her brother Bill (Anne) French, and her mother-in-law, Mary Belbin. Patti is predeceased by her parents, Bob and Irene French, and her sister, Daphne Melien. Patti was born August 10th, 1948, in Princeton, BC. She grew up in Penticton where she met and married her lifelong love, Bob, in 1966. Their three boys were born in Penticton, raised in Williams Lake, and spent a short time in Houston, BC, before finally settling in Kamloops. Patti was employed with Cooper’s Foods from 1990 until the present, and they were an extended family she so warmly embraced. Patti also enjoyed her days on the River in Brock, surrounded by her family and friends who loved her dearly, and will miss her always. A Celebration of Patti’s Life will take place between 2:00 and 4:00pm on Saturday, April 11th, 2015, at the Kamloops Golf & Country Club. The family wishes to extend a special thank-you to the staff at the Royal Inland Hospital, and ask that donations in Patti’s memory be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia St., Kamloops, BC, V2C 2T1.

He was employed by the BC Forest Service in various locations in northern and central BC before settling in Williams Lake in 1975. He retired from Horsefly in 1995 after 35 years of service. Mike poured his energy into his many interests, from curling to ice-fishing to wine-making and more. He especially enjoyed peering down a hole in the ice, pressing the grape and tasting the wine. He became an avid beekeeper in the early 80’s and was always eager to share his enthusiasm for bees and honey. He was thrilled when the Central Cariboo Beekeepers’ Association presented him with an Honorary Mentor plaque in 2004. Later he was granted Life Membership in the B.C. Honey Producers Association. Throughout, Mike’s life was enriched by his many friends and acquaintances. Mike is survived by his wife of 46 years, Pearl and children Annette (Jim) and Michael (Arianne). He will be remembered by his sister-in-law Olgi Ambach, a nephew, two nieces and their families in Hungary and also by his lifelong friend, Rudy. No service will be held. “How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour, And gather honey all the day From every opening flower!” - Isaac Watts Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements. 250-392-3336

Susan April Barton Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. It is with sadness we announce the passing of Susan April (Sue) Barton at her home in Victoria on February 25, 2015. Susan was born in Kitimat, British Columbia on April 24, 1957 in the old Hospital Beach hospital and attended school in Terrace. She was a graduate of the University of Victoria (BA) and the University of Manitoba (MA). Susan made her home in a number of different places in her relatively short life, including Campbell River; Winnipeg; the northern California coast; Bend, Oregon; San Francisco; Williams Lake, Quesnel Lake and Victoria. Susan operated a youth counselling practice in Bend for eleven years, and later bought and managed Elysia Resort, a sports fishing lodge on Quesnel Lake in the B.C. central interior from 1998-2009. She had a special place in her heart for her many dogs from her first dog Mitts at age 5 to her last dog, Mitsi. Mitsi now lives where she was born, with Paul Stafford on his ranch. In the last few years of her life, Susan battled with the debilitating systems of terminal Multiple Systems Atrophy. She is survived by her brother Doug McClary (Denise) of Delta, nephews Stephen (Alexa), Paul (Emily), Mark and Andrew, and sister Betty Barton (Grant Piffer) of Terrace.
