The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the B.C. government on the long-running dispute with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over the removal of class size and special needs support formulas 1
from classrooms. In a lengthy judgment released Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the province did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. The appeal court pointed out numerous errors in the 2011 judg-
ment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, and overturned her order that the government pay $2 million in damages, which has been paid to the union. BCTF president Jim Iker said the decision is “very disappointing” the union will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of

Canada in its bid to restore classroom rules the government removed from its contract in 2002. “All teachers are looking for is workable and teachable classrooms,” Iker said. See BCTF Page A4

B.C. families feeling the crunch: Horgan Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Many young families are wondering if their children will be able to afford post-secondary education in the future, said Lisa Hilton as she met with NDP leader John Horgan in Williams Lake this week. “We are able to put aside a bit of money for the boys’ future because my husband’s a dental therapist, but for many people we know, that’s not an option,” Hilton said. “Many of our friends are just barely making it.”
Horgan and NDP finance spokesperson Carole James were in the lakecity for two days this week, on a mission to hear from families. They hosted a public meeting at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre on Monday that drew around 30 people where residents raised concerns about a lack of services for mental health, seniors and those on disability pensions just to name a few. On Tuesday the two met with Hilton and her three small sons at
a local coffee shop. Horgan said tuition fees have doubled and B.C. has the highest rate of interest on student loans. “Our government borrows the money at one per cent and turns around and charges students three and a half percent interest,” James said. Last month the provincial government passed a bill that will see people who are delinquent on student loans unable to renew a driver’s licence, Horgan added. On top of rising stu-
dent costs, MSP premiums, camping fees, and hydro fees have also increased. “At our public meeting last night we heard that some seniors are worried they won’t be able to afford utilities,” Horgan said. Horgan and James described Hilton’s demographic as the Sandwhich Generation, meaning they are concerned about their aging parents and their children’s futures. Hilton doesn’t have ties to the party and Horgan said he and James have been vis-
iting non-incumbent ridings not to make mischief, but to gather information so they can tell the stories of families. “We heard last night that people feel they either voted for us the whiners or the Liberals who are the cheerleaders,” he said. James said people don’t expect government to solve all their problems, but they don’t expect government to make things tougher. At Monday evening’s meeting, Horgan said his party learned a lot

Prolific offender handed five-year sentence Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Prolific offender Perry Johnny has been sentenced to five years in a federal prison after being convicted of charges stemming from a crime spree in Williams Lake three years ago in which a police officer was almost run
over. The sentence was handed down in B.C. Supreme Court Friday, April 24 after Crown had previously asked that Johnny receive a seven year sentence, while defence argued for rehabilitation. Judge Mark McEwan gave Johnny five years, but credited him
with one year time served. During a trial held last September and October in Williams Lake, the court heard how Perry and his coaccused Blake Johnny attempted to break-in at the Overlander liquor store and Huston Agencies overnight June 16, 2012.

They were charged with theft of property up to $5,000, theft of a truck from a residence on Broadway Avenue South, dangerous operation of a vehicle and failing to stop when pursued by police. Additionally Perry Johnny was charged with assault and endangering the life of a
police officer because when they were pursued by police to the dairy fields in the north end of the city, Perry drove toward an RCMP officer, almost hitting him. Eventually the stolen truck was located at Alexis Creek, after Johnny veered around a spike belt placed on the road by the Alexis

The number-crunchers who keep track of worldwide life expectancy have reported the average life expectancy of the people of the world in 1990 was 65.3 years. In 2013 it had risen to 71.5 years and if we continue in this manner, by 2030, it will be 85.3 years. So healthcare is getting better around the world and we are gaining on many of the causes of early death like measles, malaria and diarrhea. We all are aware of the dangers of smoking. One danger often overlooked is that it’s a significant risk for gum disease. Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums which deprives them of oxygen and nutrients that keep them healthy Smokers are four times as likely to suffer from gum disease than those who have never smoked. If you are going to have surgery soon and are taking herbal products routinely, it might be advisable to discontinue them a week or so before surgery Some herbals like garlic, ginseng, feverfew, ginkgo and Devil’s claw have varied effects on blood clotting that might result in excessive blood loss during surgery.

Council says no to early parking Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A request by the owner of Curves to allow for early morning parking in front of her business in the 300 block of Oliver Street has been denied by the city because it will interrupt snow removal. In a letter to city council Curves’ owner Anne Schonke requested parking be allowed at 6 a.m. rather than 7 a.m.
“I’m not asking that the whole downtown core be changed,” Schonke noted. “There are various valid reasons why women want to work out at that time.” After word got out the request had been denied by city council, Curves assistant manager Kirstyn Schonke received a call from the franchise’s landlord Thursday morning offering a solution. “He told me we can
Before council voted in favour of staff’s recommendation to deny the request at the regular meeting Tuesday, Coun. Ivan Bonnell said a year and a half ago the no parking was changed to the hours between 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. for public for works to conduct snow removal. “It’s uniform throughout the whole community and we do not support moving now to having different spot zones, in
different blocks with different hours,” Bonnell said. “Staff will not be able to respond adequately to do snow removal.” While council voted unanimously in favour of denying the request, Kirstyn said she still wished the city would allow the early parking. “They could clear our part of the street before 6 a.m. and then our ladies would feel safe parking outside,” she said.
City gives teeth to nuisance bylaw Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council is hoping an increase in excessive nuisance fees to as much as $10,000 will hamper repeat complaints at rental properties. As it stands now, a property owner is issued a letter warning of a $250 fee once three nuisance calls have come in about a property.

“We need a minimum fee of $1,000 for a second offence, $5,000 for a third offence and $10,000 if there’s a fourth or subsequent offence,” said Coun. Scott Nelson as he proposed the amended fee structure. “I’m also going to ask that the prolific offenders be added on there as well because they have to be targeted and made responsible for their wrong doing.” Upping the fee will give the bylaw office teeth and send a message that the city’s poli-

ticians are serious, he added. Senior bylaw officer Brendan Foote said his office works closely with the RCMP and there are a couple of properties that have been issued multiple fines, but the fines are not working as a deterrent. “Once you have three nuisance calls a letter gets sent to the property owner advising them there have been nuisance calls to the property,” Foote said. “We list the times and dates
the RCMP have attended and advise them if the RCMP continue to attend the property they will be issued a fee.” Applauding the decision to increase the fees, RCMP community safety co-ordinator Dave Dickson said there are three people who own 52 properties and 11 of the 52 were visited by police 190 times last year. “We had two murders in town last year,” Dickson.”These are the kinds of places our police are going to con-
tinuously.” In addition to increasing the fees, council asked that its general governance committee go back and review the bylaw so that offenders are made to pay fees also. “I think we need to hold people accountable for the damages they create because targeting just the homeowner is wrong,” Nelson said. “If you just kick people out they will move two doors down and cause more trouble. It will just be a ping pong.”

There is parking for Curves in the back alley, but it’s dark in the morning, she added. “We’ve never had a problem with the parking until the last two years,” she said. “Some of our ladies received warning letters for parking on the street.”

ministry has argued that caps on class size and number of students in each class with personalized learning plans were unduly restrictive. The NDP government of the late 1990s negotiated a settlement where the BCTF gave up salary increases in exchange for class size caps, specialist teacher levels and limits on the number of designated special needs students in each class. The appeal court decision leaves in place efforts by the government to settle the bitter dispute, including a provision in the current contract to pay $105 million to the union to retire thousands of grievances filed over class size and composition. The six-year contract signed last fall after a lengthy strike also includes additional preparation time and a “learning improvement fund” to deal with special needs support.

Williams Lake
Former Tribune publisher honoured Angie Mindus Staff Writer With an introduction by CBC host Gloria Macarenko, followed by a cheering, standing ovation from some of the top journalists and newspaper executives in Western Canada, former Williams Lake Tribune publisher Bob Grainger says he felt overwhelmingly humbled when he took the stage to accept the prestigious Eric Dunning Award for Dedication and Service to the Community Newspaper Industry last weekend. “It was so humbling — all I really did was do my job for the last 33 years. Somehow, I felt like I didn’t belong up there but everyone else felt I did. It was pretty nice.” Well-known for his honesty and tenacity, Grainger has worked tirelessly over his 33year career to pioneer and root newspapers in communities and has a story of his own which began right here in Williams Lake. It started in 1976 when David Black was the owner and publisher of the Williams
Lake Tribune and was in need of a sales manager for his growing newspaper. Black wanted someone who was aggressive and well-respected in the business community. It took a little convincing, but before long Grainger, who at the time worked at a hardware store, joined up with Black and a unique partnership was formed that would last more than 30 years. “When David made me publisher, David’s father, Allen, was in town. He said, ‘Bob let’s go for a walk. I want to pass on some advice.’ We started our stroll through town. We discussed everything, including where he came from and where I came from. The most important thing he said, ‘do you realize you as publisher have become the most powerful person in town? You are in a position to make or break people through the pages of your newspaper, whether it be politicians or just Joe citizen. So be damn careful how you approach the community and run your newsroom,’ keeping in mind, we are just

In 2000, Black Press had expanded greatly and Grainger took on more responsibilities by becoming president of the Prairie Group as well as Cariboo Press. Grainger became, as
he calls it, “a road warrior traveller,” as the Black Press chain grew with extensive travels throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Seattle and Hawaii. Throughout his career, Grainger made a point of visiting every city and town where Black Press published papers. For him, a community newspaper couldn’t represent a community without first understanding and being part of it. That’s why he also insisted that his staff join chambers of commerce, Rotary clubs, and other
local organizations. Many in the industry considered Grainger’s passion and integrity “contagious.” It was that infectious personality which led Grainger to become chief operating officer in 2002 to work alongside Black in Victoria. It also marked an end to his time in Williams Lake. “David trusted me explicitly,” Grainger said. “We were very good friends. We did all the good things together and all the bad things together. I loved his family and they
loved me.” Grainger retired in 2009 and currently lives in Saanich where he continues to enjoy fishing and his woodworking. He also still sits on the Black Press board. His legacy in the newspaper industry, however, particularly at the Tribune office, remains strong. “Bob has played such an integral role in the lives of so many people over the years, myself included,” says BC North Black Press President Lorie Williston. “We all owe so much to him, both personally and professionally.” Grainger says he’ll always miss the industry, but even more than that, the people. “I miss what got us here,” Grainger says of his newspaper days. “It was a hell of a ride.” - With files from Black Press

Another grim reminder Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami - 2004 Pakistan earthquake - 2005 Haiti earthquake - 2010 Japan earthquake/tsunami 2011 In the past 10 years, the world has seen numerous major seismic events strike populated areas, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of injuries, and billions of dollars in damage. Last weekend, yet another such catastrophe occurred, as a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, claiming thousands of lives. How fitting that Emergency Preparedness Week begins Sunday across this country. Yet, despite the stark, chilling reminders of the unfathomable power of nature, and how it can literally tear normal life asunder, most people will give the issue here hardly more than fleeting thought. After all, the disasters listed above all occurred a long way from here — the “safe, secure” West Coast. Or at least, that’s the common misconception. We live on the edge of a major fault line in the Earth’s crust. Scientists are confident it is only
a matter of time before building tectonic plate pressure triggers a cataclysmic release. When it does, it will be the rest of the world’s turn to watch as the West Coast experiences its own natural disaster. Despite the official warnings and very real reminders, how many of us are prepared in any meaningful way to deal with such a crisis? A major earthquake is likely to destroy or damage bridges, roads, sanitation systems, and cut off the supply of electricity, natural gas and water. Emergency responders will be overwhelmed, at least for several days, perhaps longer. Many people will be waiting in vain for help, assuming they can even call for assistance. Do you have a family emergency plan? At least a few days of water stored safely? Canned or dried food? A means to cook it? What about emergency light, shelter, sanitary measures? Or are you with the hundreds of thousands of others who are merely hoping “it won’t happen here?”

On two separate Saturdays in April we’ve gone for a bike ride to the river and each time I pass the area we locals call the Ash Tray, I feel angry. Whoever believes they have a right to hurl things off the top of the cliff above that area needs to stop. The Williams Lake River is roaring by at the foot of the embankment, so it would be almost impossible to go haul away the

fridges, tires, etc. that are accumulating there. And the embankment itself is constantly changing with sand rolling down so I don’t even know if it would be safe to stand over there. I have not been up at the top of the Ash Tray so I don’t know what it looks like, but from below
it doesn’t seem like the safest place to be hurling things from. We tried driving up the road to Moore’s Meadow last Saturday before our bike ride, but the road was muddy with huge ruts. Once we reached the flat area up top we turned around and headed back down. As we were leaving the River Valley later we also saw a broken metal table in the parking lot at the halfway mark. And there were two couches tossed on the side of the road one block from the CRD transfer station. It reminded me of the time I saw an entire computer lab dumped on the side of a road going up the
mountain above Prince Rupert, and later spied a mahogany head board tossed on a pullout a kilometre further up that road. It bugs me that people would rather drive and dump things illegally than take them to be disposed of properly. There won’t be a shortage of artifacts for archaelogists studying our time in centuries to come. On the positive front, when we went to the dump on Saturday we were stopped at the weigh scale and asked what we were dumping. “We have household garbage and then a bunch of recycling we’ll take up to the other area after,” my husband told the attendant. She smiled back and said that
was good to hear. I guess they are ramping up their education piece to let people know what does and does not belong in the dump. And we noticed the Share Shed was really busy while we sorted and placed our recycling in the bins. Someone called a few weeks ago and said there was a rumour the Share Shed was closing, but that isn’t true. Community Living held the contract to run it, but is moving on to other things, as they noted in a thank you placed in the Tribune.

Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower The Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel. By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good. This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia. Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too. A retired captain from the nowclosed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s go-to critics. He contradicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience. His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable at best. There was no talk of spill response when
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and rescue station. Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed. People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople. It’s been two years, and nobody has. Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-sheen angst spread through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it. Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from
Prince Rupert and Victoria. I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970sera ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety. “These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”
Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.) What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology. There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the con-
solidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them. The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions. But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
NDP LEADERSHIP VISITS LAKECITY

Surinderpal Rathor (second from the left) asks questions of NDP leader John Horgan and finance spokesperson Carole James during their “Families need a break” tour held at the Arts Centre in Williams Lake Monday. About 30 people attened the event, in which the politicians expressed their party’s intention to ramp up their campaign against the Liberals in the next election.
Grass versus trees: the encroaching debate continues The debate over what is the best use of land has been going on for some time. When I started with the provincial government in the 1970s there was a healthy debate about the pros and cons of encroachment of trees onto the grasslands around Riske Creek and the conversion of forests into hay or pasture lands. A new dimension was added with the recent debate over the production of compressed hay for sale to China versus planting of the same land with trees by a foreign company for carbon credits. An article written by Mike Greig and Gary Bull in 2009 Carbon Management in BC Forests is a good place to start to understand how governments, big business, global markets and environmental concerns all interact in this increasingly complex topic.
Forest Ink Jim Hilton
The article gives ample illustrations, definitions of terms and history of government agreements and regulations about the concern over global climate change. Most of the agreements are fairly recent, for example, “In the spring of 2007, B.C. joined the WCI (Western Climate Initiative) a collaboration of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Ontario, Quebec, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Manitoba, which is developing regional strategies to address climate change in identi-
fying, evaluating, and implementing collective and co-operative ways to reduce green house gasses (ghgs) in the region. “In the fall of 2007, the province joined European Union countries and the U.S. in the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) to share best practices on global carbon trading systems (International Carbon Action Partnership).” The report goes onto list numerous agreements signed in 2008 and 2010. Several pilot forest carbon sequestration projects have been undertaken in B.C. since 2003. “To the authors’ knowledge, the provincial government has not been directly involved in promoting any of these. Rather, these projects are seen as voluntary and ‘learn-by-doing’ initiatives. De-
tails on many of these initiatives are largely proprietary. In general, they are small-scale projects and act as learning initiatives that demonstrate how trees can play a role in sequestering carbon and contributing to climate change mitigation.” Some of these include: forest plantations on reclaimed private agriculture lands in Prince George and on reclaimed private lands in the Lower Mainland. These projects fit the criteria of “additionality and baseline,” which state that: “To create forest carbon credits, the forest manager is required to demonstrate that the carbon generated (in carbon dioxide equivalents) from management actions is ‘in addition to’ what would have occurred had no change in management strategy taken place.”
Unfortunately spending money on the thousands of hectares of public forest land devastated by mountain pine beetle does not fit as well for funding since it may come back naturally or be normally funded under other government programs or be an obligation of the company harvesting the land. In order to understand the complex issues it is necessary to review other terms like: Cap-and-trade system, carbon credit, carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e,) carbonneutral and carbon offset, just to name a few. 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.

LOCAL COMMUNITY
Reel Paddling Film Festival here on Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to Tribune/Advisor Once again the Williams Lake Film Club is finishing off the season with a big bang. On Tuesday, May 5, we will bring you the Reel Paddling Film Festival, World Tour 2015. The films will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Centre at 7 p.m. Both entrances will be open. The 10th annual Reel Paddling Film Festival showcases the world’s best paddling films. The festival inspires more people to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push physical and emotional extremes, embrace the lifestyle and appreciate the heritage of the wild places we
paddle. We have an incredible selection of films, including nine awardwinning documentaries. As a matter of fact we have so many that we will screen three shorts before 7 p.m., while you are filling the Gibraltar Room. One of them will be Portage the Legend by Colin Labelle of Williams Lake and Wesley Gregg of Quesnel. And we will give you a bonus after the official program for everyone who has not had enough, like us. After all, this is the only chance we get to see these films. Here is a short overview: Andorja World Record Expedition, Delta Dawn, Facing Waves: Outriggers and

Yoga on a paddle board demonstrated. SUP in Tahiti, How Not To Steal A Kayak, The Grand Canyon of the Stikine, and many others. We even have a film about SUP Yoga. Personal trainer, yoga instructor and obsessed standup paddle boarder Jodelle Fitzwater describes discovering SUP yoga from her hometown of Branson,
Missouri. Great fun, and yes — different. We will see some of the most stunning whitewater action, some wacky animated features, waterfall craziness, beautiful landscapes, waterscapes, really, the best of the best. Do I sound excited? That is because I am.
We are one of the select few showing this festival in the west and I do not want you to miss it. All proceeds from this evening will help to support to the LDA, the local chapter of the Association for Students with Learning Disabilities. As you might know, we are now working with the Child Development Centre to advance this cause. We will have two segments of about an hour each with a 15 minute break. We will serve yummies during the break. I will bake up a storm to make it good. Water, juice and tea will also be served. And there will be a discreet little “Money Pit” for any donation, a loonie or toonie you
might want to throw in to cover the cost of refreshments. After all, this is a fundraiser. After the official screening we will show the documentary DamNation. This powerful film odyssey across America explores the change in national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers. I have been told that a 51-minute documentary is too long to be part of a festival, but as this is just so darn good we will show it after the official screening. Admission is $15 at the door or $12 in advance at Cariboo Memorial Complex or Red Shred’s, cash only.
Suicide statistics alarming when it comes to youth Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Statistics gathered by the Williams Lake Suicide and Sudden Death Committee indicate that there are five to 10 suicides in the Williams Lake area every year and at least that many attempts. The statistics have been gathered from the RCMP and Coroner Services. In 2013 coroner files for Williams Lake showed eight suicides and another possible one. Community support workers estimate the number is much higher because not all suicides are recorded as such. “Many suicides are officially counted as deaths caused by accidents or drug overdose, as there is no proof that individuals intended to end their life,” says committee chair Bettina Egert. “And family members often chose not to tell, for example out of fear being labelled and blamed.” For every suicide, seven to 10 people are directly affected by the loss of that individual, Egert says. High school students and young adults are of particular concern for counsellors and support workers which is why the committee is hosting an in-school workshop for 200 students
today at Lake City Secondary’s Williams Lake campus. In any given year it is estimated that one in five people is depressed and that one in three people will experience a mental health problem. The 2014 World Health Organization report on suicide prevention indicates that 800,000 people around the world die by suicide each year, 500 per year in B.C. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the world among 15 to 29 year olds. Eight per cent of male students and 17 per cent of female students in B.C. reported having thoughts of sui-
cide, says the 2014 McCreary Centre Society Report on BC Adolescent Health Survey. “Community practitioners would be able to share numerous stories about cases of suicidal ideation where suicide was prevented due to intervention by professionals, family, friends and peers,” Egert says. “In many cases it only takes that one person to pay attention, listen and support.” These statistics are the reason that representatives from the various helping organizations in Williams Lake came together several years ago to form the Suicide and Sudden
Death Committee. One of the committee’s first initiatives was to develop a protocol for community services and organizations to work together to effectively communicate and collaborate in cases of suicidal ideation and death by suicide to provide assistance to individuals and families. Counsellor Janice
Breck says the protocol binder includes a detailed response plan in cases of suicide, to prevent further fallout, such as more suicides and post traumatic stress and outlines sup-

Mining week 2012
Minister’s message: mining a vital industry in B.C. Bill Bennett Mining Week 2015 Every day across B.C. people benefit from mining and every year, on average, each British Columbian uses almost 50,000 pounds of mined products. This vital industry not only provides us with the products we need, it supports job creation and improved public services — building communities throughout the province. Mining provides more good jobs to First Nations people than any other industry and government shares with First Nations governments a portion of revenues from all new major mines. It is critical that First Nations benefit from mining that takes place in their traditional territory.
Mining is also crucial to the 50 rural communities that rely on it, and it is also critical to B.C.’s current and future economic success. One of the best indicators of the industry’s success is the amount companies have spent on mineral exploration in B.C. This past year, our province saw $338 million in exploration spending, accounting for over 21 per cent of all exploration spending in Canada — in 2001 that figure was less than six per cent. B.C.’s six operating coal mines, 10 operating metal mines and hundreds of aggregate pits and quarries support 30,000 good jobs. Wages in the mining industry are great. Since June 2011, six new metal mines have
opened in B.C. (including Red Chris Gold and Copper Mine that will be fully operational soon) creating more than 1,300 jobs. This record is unmatched anywhere else in Canada. None of this development could take place without a regulatory framework that encourages global competitiveness and ensures high environmental and safety standards. Our government recognizes the importance of this industry and is determined to continue to strengthen B.C.’s mining sector for the benefit of all British Columbians. Mining helps pay for our health, education and social services. That’s why we recently increased the ministry’s budget by about $6 million, and are in the process
Supplying Mining Needs For Over 100 Years
of establishing a Major Mines Permitting Office that will improve the coordination of major mine permits across government, add staff to conduct more inspections and permit reviews, and improve turnaround times. To further encourage exploration and future investment in B.C.’s mining industry, this government has also extended the Province’s $10-million mining flow-through share tax credit program, as well as the new mine allowance tax credit. Let’s all celebrate the benefits that come from mining in B.C. by participating in Mining Week, May 3-9, 2015. Bill Bennett is the Kootenay East MLA and the Minister of Energy and Mines.

Gibraltar garners ministry 2014 John Ash Safety Award Monica Lamb-Yorski Mining Week 2015 Taseko Mines Limited recently announced its Gibraltar Mine received the 2014 John Ash Safety Award presented by the Ministry of Energy and Mines. “This prestigious award goes to the mining operation in British Columbia with the lowest injury-frequency rate that has worked at least one million hours during the year,” the company said in a press release. “Gibraltar worked over 1.7 million hours during 2014 with zero lost time accidents.” “Operating with employee health and safety and the envi-
ronment held paramount is the foundation of a world class operation,” said Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Limited. “We do not take safety for granted and it is a concerted effort to ensure that safety is at the forefront of every employee’s decision and action.” Gibraltar employees not only have the lowest injury-frequency rate of all B.C. mines in 2014, but they also achieved an entire calendar year without a single lost time accident. The accident-free period continues and now exceeds two million worker hours and is a real reflection of

Gibraltar Mine dams pass independent inspection Monica Lamb-Yorski Mining Week 2015
An independent dam safety inspection report on the dams at Gibraltar gave the company a passing grade. “It was a good one and was very reassuring,” said Brian Battison, Taseko Mines Ltd. vice-president of corporate affairs. “The geotechnical consultant determined that all of the dam structures were in safe and good condition and there was no indication of dam instability.” The report tells the company the dam structures at Gibraltar are well built, well managed, and structurally sound, he added. Following the Mount

mine sites. Unlike Mount Polley’s earth and rock
dam, the main Gibraltar dam is constructed from cycloned sand
and the majority of the perimeter of the pond is original ground, the company said in a press release, adding most of the recommendations made by the Mount Polley Expert Independent Geotechnical Review Panel are already in place at Gibraltar and have been for many years. “The method of separating sand and water using cyclones has been the primary method for years at many B.C. mines, including Gibraltar, and we believe it provides the highest level of dam integrity,” the company said. Recently local leaders were invited to tour the mine site and review the Dam Safety
Inspection report. “We felt that being able to see the facilities and structures first hand would aid them in gaining a better understanding of the report and its content,” Battison said, adding a third party review confirmed the DSI results with no additional recommendations. Receiving the safety award and the good results of the dams inspections are examples of the high standards of care that Gibraltar and Taseko provides for its employees’ health and safety and also for the environment, Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko Mines Ltd. said. - With files from Taseko Mines Ltd.

Teens participate in suicide workshop Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Suicide is an issue that needs to come out of the shadows and into the light of discussion. “Communication and collaboration are the most important aspects of suicide prevention,” says Tracey Lee, one of the Suicide and Sudden Death Committee members who helped to organize the Staying Alive: Battle for Life suicide prevention gathering of teens taking place this afternoon at Lake City Secondary’s Williams Lake Campus. “Suicide is not something that should be
secret or hidden,” adds Janice Breck, who is putting on a skit with Lee for the students to raise awareness about suicide. In their skit they developed a scenario where a teenage girl who is normally outgoing, is suddenly quiet and withdrawn. Her friend expresses concern and learns that the girl is going through the breakup of her parents and that her boyfriend is cheating on her at the same time. The friend offers support and suggests the girl talk to a counsellor as well, which she admits she did a year earlier when she was going through her own crisis.
Gaeil Farrar photo
Tracey Lee (left) and Janice Beck rehearse the skit they will perform for teens on suicide prevention. Approximately 200 students in grades 10, 11 and 12 are participating in the workshop. “It is very exciting
for the committee that the event will be held within school hours for the first time,” Lee says. The committee is
working to let students know that they are not alone. Help is available. “There’s lots of hope, suicide is absolutely
preventable if the right people are there to support the individual,” says committee chair Bettina Egert. “It might be just that one person listening who may change a person’s mind.” The dance group Project Soul from Vancouver will kick off the workshop with a performance for the students, then give another performance in the evening for families from 6 to 7 p.m. in the LCSS WL campus commons. “Suicide is such a taboo subject that we really needed something special to pull the kids in,” Egert says. During the event information will be pro-
vided to the students on the warning signs of suicide, what to say to someone they think may be contemplating suicide, and how to refer the individual for help. Students will watch a video called You Matter - My Mental Health Journey by Brent Seal and participate in various interactive activities. Snacks will be provided and students will be asked to fill out a survey at the end of the workshop on how helpful they felt the information provided was to them. The workshop is provided thanks to generous funding from the United Way.
Lots of activities planned for Williams Lake Youth Week Williams Lake Celebrates BC Youth Week starting today. “Youth Week is an internationally celebrated event that aims to recognize the positive contributions youth make in their communities, and to celebrate the valuable work youth do all year round,” says Linda
Bingham, Williams Lake BC Youth Week Coordinator. “Youth and youth service organizations have been busy planning for this week since the fall, and we have a lot of diverse events planned. There will something for absolutely everyone!” Friday, May 1: The hip hop dance group

Always make room in the kitchen for fresh herbs Now that spring is well underway, so are the herbs in my garden. I use them as much as possible and with all kinds of foods. Fresh herbs are great for garnishes and they provide bold flavour. They have great aromatic qualities and work very well for roasting and sautéing, or for chopping and mixing into foods such as mashed potatoes. Yum! Dried herbs are best when used with oil (or

butter, fat) or water -— this way they can infuse the oil or cooking liquid. Make sure to crush the herbs with your fingers or sauté them a bit to wake them up.
Crushing a bunch of them in a mortar and pestle also works very well. I tend to use more when I use a dried herb. Most dried herbs lose a significant amount of spunk when dried — especially basil, oregano and sage. Rosemary and thyme hold up a little better. Sage can help treat fevers and headaches, parsley is loaded with vitamins and minerals. Rosemary helps boost

the immune system. Basil goes well with tomatoes, cheeses, pork, Asian cooking and is good in pasta. Dill is great with potatoes, and many kinds of shellfish and seafood. Ginger is often used in stir fry, marinades and ginger tea. Mint is also good in tea, fruit salads, lamb and pork. Store fresh herbs in ziplock bags and keep in the fridge where they last longer. Food always
seems better and smells better when using herbs. I use dried herbs I have plucked from my fall garden, however, using other than fresh herbs in the spring is almost sacrosanct. Here is a neat little chicken dish using herbs and cooked on barbecue. Chicken and Herbs • 3 or 4 whole chicken legs — thighs and leg attached. (Can use breasts also) • 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt • 1/4 tsp of black ground pepper • 2 tbsp lemon juice • 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard • 1 tbsp. each of chives, oregano, rosemary and thyme Put barbecue on medium heat. Put chicken in a bowl, add oil along with salt and pepper and after being coated put them on a grill turning occasionally until deep golden brown, about 20
to 25 minutes. While still hot, toss the chicken in a large bowl with lemon juice, mustard, chives, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Serve. Take some time this spring to do a little cooking with wonderful herbs. Bye for now and Goood Cooking. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

Are you Juicy? The interior life of a person will eventually show itself through exterior manifestations. I remember hearing an analogy of an orange. When you look at the unpeeled orange it does not always reveal its true interior life. Normally when we squeeze an orange – put it under pressure – orange juice comes out. An orange, however, could look ripe and juicy by its skin (exterior life) but when put under pressure it may not release juice, or very little, because it is dried out inside. What happens when you are under pressure? What comes out of you when people push your buttons? When people disagree with you? When people rub you the wrong way? When people get under your skin? When people don’t appreciate you? Is the juice of compassion, mercy, and forgiveness released or the dryness of anger, frustration, retaliation and hatred? God, who is Life itself, cannot suffer or die. When God becomes a baby boy (Jesus) and takes on human nature, He can suffer and die. God respects our free will and unites with our human nature in order to show love and compassion.
PARSONS PEN
BY Father Derrick God could send a lightning bolt to zap us every time we sin, but most of the time He doesn’t. Rather, Jesus joins us in our lowly condition and takes on suffering and death. He bleeds out compassion by his Blood. When He is put under pressure, his compassion is shown on the cross. In effect, Jesus says: “This is what sin does, this is what it looks like. This is my mercy to you, the blood of compassion.” Jesus was put under great pressure. He was overwhelmed with sin as He agonized in the garden of Gethsemane. He was
marinated with suffering when scourged at the pillar. Our sins crushed him as he was nailed to the Cross (Isaiah 53:5) Saturated with pressure, He hung for three hours on the cross, dying of asphyxiation. And what came out when he was under great pressure? Not the Divine wrath of lightening, but the sign of His love, the blood that poured out, the juice of compassion. The irony is that “by his wounds, we are healed,” (Isaiah 53:5). As pressures come upon us in our daily activities, we can choose to participate in God’s love and compassion in little ways. Rather than speaking negatively about someone, react positively. We can bypass an unwillingness to forgive and can let out the dew of compassion (while still respecting proper relational boundaries).Rather than stewing in a self-pity party, help out those in need. Rather than complaining about being lonely, go and find someone who is lonely and share some fellowship. Instead of being jealous of others, be thankful for what you have. It is by the little things, with the help of God, that we can change the world from within and allow it to overflow to others.

Saturday, May 2 and Sunday, May 3 Greg Sabatino photos
Billy-Joe Moody (right) and Sam Sellars work on the construction of the William Trail Network, located south of Williams Lake at the Chief WillYum Campsite. Moody and Sellars are part of a crew of four trail builders being trained by First Journey Trails’ and project manager Thomas Schoen.
Wheels turning on new trail project Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The gears are turning on a new mountain biking trail project in Williams Lake. Now in its third week of construction after years of planning, initiated by Williams Lake Indian Band councillor Willie Sellars and local mountain biking advocate Mark Savard, trail work is underway above the Chief Will-Yum Campsite south of the lakecity. The finished project, called the William Trail Network, is expected to wrap up by 2016, and includes a cross country connector built last year from Fox Mountain to Asahal Lake near the campsite. Currently, four members of the WLIB — Ben Michel, Sam Sellars, Curtis Sellars and Billy-Joe Moody — have been trained on site by First Journey Trails Project Manager Thomas Schoen. The crew is currently working on building a climbing line with work on a downhill trail scheduled to begin
Project manager Thomas Schoen stands on a log bridge structure along a new mountain biking trail network being built above the Chief Will-Yum Campsite. in mid-May. The project is being funded by the Northern Devel-
opment Initiative Trust and the WLIB, and includes a partnership between the
WLIB, the Williams Lake Cycling Club and the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium. The initiative is a winwin venture for everyone involved, designed to generate business for the campsite and the city while augmenting existing mountain biking trail networks for riders free of charge, Schoen said. Willie, the WLIB project co-ordinator, said he’s excited about the continued expansion of the city’s mountain biking trail network. “Thomas, along with our trail crew, has been working hard putting together an amazing product and the pictures show the hard work being done,” Willie said. “Williams Lake is dubbed ‘The Shangri-La of Mountain Biking’ and if you look at the networks and the talented mountain bikers coming from this community you can see why. It’s really amazing. “When Thomas and Mark brought the idea of building a new network we were stoked and in full sup-
port.” He said the WLIB contributed to the project to help bolster tourism and to support its ongoing economic development initiatives throughout the corridor. The WLCC has also committed to the construction of five technical trail features and has recruited five local, master trailbuilders, who will each be building a unique feature on the downhill trail. This phase of the project, Schoen said, is expected to take three months and be ready for the Provincial Mountain Bike Tourism Symposium coming up in Williams Lake in October. “The climbing trail is [rated] easy,” Schoen said. “[It will be] great for beginners or just a fun, flowy downhill trail.” He noted economic impact is the ultimate goal for the new trails, allowing visiting bikers to stay at the campsite and ride across the connector to the Fox Mountain Trail Network.

Runners leave the starting gate during a past KidSport Classic Run, previously held annually in Boitanio Park. Due to several factors, this year’s run has been cancelled.
KidSport Classic cancelled for 2015 Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The annual KidSport Classic and former Dave Jacobs Run has reached the finish line — this year for the final time. Director of Community Services for the city Geoff Paynton said declining participation, lost revenue and safety concerns surrounding the race route all played a major role in the decision to cancel this year’s event. “The KidSport committee decided they weren’t going to organize it and direct their efforts toward other fundraising initiatives,” Paynton said. “It’s been successful [in the past] but ran its course so the group’s decided to move on to other fundraising
activities.” The local KidSport chapter is an organization devoted to fundraising to help underprivileged children take part in sports. The KidSport committee, together with the city’s Recreation Services Department, had organized the current version of the event for the past five years. Prior to that, the memorial Dave Jacobs Run had been an annual summer tradition for 10 years. The KidSport Classic consisted of a 10-kilometre walk or run, plus an elementary school relay. Of particular concern this year was the inability to plan a route using the trail by the CN Railway tracks near South Lakeside Drive as access

throughout the summer like fitness in the park in Boitanio Park,” he said. “We’ve bumped up our themed swims and themed skates, so we’re using our time to put together bigger and better jazzy community activities.” That said, if a group did come forward wanting to organize a similar-style event, Paynton noted the city would be willing to help with resources surrounding logistical details. “We’re adding quite a bit this fall and summer,” he said. “Volunteers come and go and things eventually run out of time, then you move onto something bigger and better and the events we’re focusing on are all free, family, community events.”

to the area was no longer being granted. “They would have had to plan it through the intersection, instead, which would have caused some serious safety concerns,” he said. “But the big thing was the numbers. They’ve been declining every year and the revenue raised has been declining every year so they’re going to focus their volunteer efforts on other things.” In its absence, Paynton said the city plans to focus on ramping up free, family activities and events throughout the year. “We’re adding a second Nutrition Run in the fall with Interior Health, we’re putting some time into our Canada Day celebrations and we’re doing free activities

BC Northern Selects golden at Canlan Classic Spring Showdown Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The 2008-born BC Northern Selects, made up of 10 Williams Lake and two Quesnel hockey players, made history last weekend skating into Vancouver and winning the Canlan Classic Spring Showdown. In exciting fashion, Quesnel’s Kaelen Swanson potted the game winner just seven seconds into overtime in a 5-4 championship victory over the Kamloops Ice Pirates. Swanson also lit the lamp once in the first period, before Williams Lake’s Colton Gerrior and Blake Lamb, with two, helped achieve the feat. Jaxson Dikur was solid the entire tournament between the pipes. “It was one of the

They deserved to win and they did.” It was the first time the team, which trains out of TITC, had played together at a

tournament as a team. “I’ve been involved in hockey for 25 years and I’ve played for a lot of teams in Williams Lake before, but I’ve never been to Vancouver and done that,” Lucas said. “It’s never really been done by a team from the north.” Prior to the final the
BCNS beat the Semiahmoo Sehawks 9-7, the BC Kodiaks (Richmond) 9-2, the Vancouver Seabirds 8-2 and the BC Spartans (Vancouver) 14-2. Linden Pinette, Asher Lucas, Andrew Lindsay, Rhys Marchand, Blake Riley and
Kean Philbrick also provided solid offence for the BCNS throughout the tournament. In other divisions at the tournament, lakecity hockey players continued to shine. The 2001 BCNS, with goaltender Devin Chapman and 100 Mile House’s Lane Paddison, also went unbeaten, posting a 5-0 record to claim the gold medal. Brady Wood and Blake Pigeon also combined to help the 2006-born BCNS to a silver-medal finish with four wins and two losses. In the 2005 division Jackson Altwasser and Cadence PeticlercCrosby helped the team to a fifth-place result, while Ty Oviatt and Ethan Smid suited up for the 2004-born BCNS.

Pool winner enjoys trip to playoff game Greg Sabatino Staff Writer If you’re locking down the top spot in the Tribune’s regular season NHL hockey pool you’re doing something right. To win the No. 1 and No. 2 spot, however, is simply unheard of. This season, Neil Abday did just that and can finally repay his brother, Tobey, after 20 years when he became the winner of one of the Tribune’s first-ever hockey pools. “I was very pleased with winning,” Neil said. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime type thing, and taking second place was a very nice bonus, as well.” On Wednesday, April 15, as part of his winning prize, Neil and Tobey flew to Vancouver to catch game one of the Vancouver Canucks’ first-round playoff series against the Calgary Flames. “Although the Canucks lost 2-1 to Calgary it was a very entertaining hockey game with a lot of electricity in the crowd,” Neil said. “The [pool] is a big fundraiser for Community Policing and it’s also very popular amongst my former coworkers at the local saw mills.” Neil credited Caribou Ski Source for Sports owner Tom Wong for handling all the details surrounding his flight and hotel accommodation package. “Tom did a fantastic job of putting together the package,” he said. “A very enjoyable experience.”

Getting the biggest bang for your reno dollars By Tyler Boucher 3 GEN One of the most common queries that we get from the public at 3GEN is this - which is the best room to focus our home improvement dollars? When it comes time to decide the allocation of funds for doing your home renovations, there are two main factors vital to consider: What will make our home more enjoyable, and where will we get the largest financial return on our investment? While we definitely enjoy offering our expertise to any area our customers want improved in their homes, when people ask for our advice on where to best put their hardearned money to work we have to tell it like it is – and the bathroom is champ when it comes to
return on investment! Renovating your bathroom can be thought of as exactly what it is -- an investment. Even if you have no plans to sell in the near future, giving your bathroom a facelift will increase the value of your home. Although there are numerous shows on television that make even the thought of touching the inside of your bathroom cringe-worthy, the simple truth is that the majority of bathroom renovations are quite straightforward. Unpleasant surprises do happen once in a while, but sub-floors that are full of rotted wood, and extensive water damage behind the walls is more the exception than the rule. The bathroom is also the main room that can help you save money in your home. Recent sta-

tistics show that when it comes to mid-range renovations done in the bathroom, more than 100% of the original cost is recouped in the increased value of your home. No other area of a house is capable of giving back financially the way a bathroom can. While you won’t see the same economic return on your renovation if you choose to upgrade your bathroom to what you see on Lifestyles of

the Rich and Famous or a shrine on Houzz. com, a reasonable mid-level project will give you the clean, fresh look you are looking for and help your bottom line. In addition, keeping your bathroom up-to-date with items such as low-flow toilets and water-conserving faucets to lower your water bill, an exhaust fan to help prevent damage from mould and mildew, and installing
energy-efficient lighting fixtures will save you plenty of money every year, and can add up to a significant amount over the long-term. When looking for a home to purchase, one of the most important factors many buyers are searching for is a bathroom that is updated and contains a variety of features. In fact, an ugly bathroom can make or break the sale altogether. While the majority of buyers don’t mind giving a fresh coat of paint to the kitchen or bedroom, they want a bathroom that is finished to their liking before they move the first box through the door. Bathrooms get put through a lot on a daily basis, and they unfortunately will not live forever. The average lifespan is somewhere around the twenty-year mark -- once this period

of time has passed it is not uncommon to see toilets and faucets that leak, grout that looks grungy and grimy, and tiles which are either missing or need to be replaced. The bathroom is one area of the home that most of us don’t give too much thought to. Even though we go in and out of it on a regular basis all day, we just do what we need to do and walk back out again. However, more so than any other room in a home, the bathroom is the only one where privacy is paramount. It should be more than just a functional room where you shower -- the bathroom should be an oasis that leaves you with a feeling of peace and tranquility; A room to unwind and soak in a hot tub at the end of a long day. Not everyone is blessed with an unlimited budget to create a bathroom that is the envy of family and friends. What you need to realize is that it should not be necessary to put off buying that new car for the next five years because you have chosen to make your bathroom the best it can be. A professional contractor will discover what your budget is and construct their plans around the funds you have allotted. They will determine how best to include all of the features you want to have with high-quality materials at the lowest price possible. They will also provide suggestions for what can be done with the space that you may not have thought of, or not have thought possible. There are plenty of ways that an expert contractor can cut costs while still providing you with a beautiful room that you are loathe to leave. Regardless of the size
of the space you have to work with, hiring a professional will ensure that every inch is utilized to its fullest extent. Look to hire a contractor who is flexible and who can work with the existing structures and turn them into something else. For example, a great contractor will have plenty of experience turning showers into tubs, or vice versa. Their main objective will be to give you as much value for your money as they can. Grin-and-bear-it is for the dentist -- not remodelling. You should be able to approach the work being done with excitement and happiness. It can be a struggle to go without a fully functional bathroom for any length of time while renovations are being done. One important question to ask when hiring a contractor is how long it will take them to complete the project. A professional company with plenty of experience will know exactly how long it will take them to finish the work, and they will put that in writing. You should also get a free written estimate that will encompass the entire scope of the project. A bathroom is an essential component of any home, but it should also be a private space that you look forward to entering. Taking the vision of clients and turning them into reality is what sets an excellent contractor apart from all the rest. There is no reason to settle for anything less than the best in any facet of your renovations, and you shouldn’t. You want to make sure that it is done right the first time. Do your homework, ask questions, feel confident that you have not thrown your money away, and make sure you are satisfied!

Spring did arrive early this year and I think most of you have already done a major spring clean-up of your gardens and lawns; but here are a few more chores for you to put on your list. Now is an ideal time to prune deciduous trees with the exception of birch and maples. These should be pruned later in the summer when the sap is not running as freely. A simple strategy for pruning trees is to keep an open center. This allows air and light to circulate, resulting in less disease and better flower/fruit production. Remember the three D’s. Remove diseased, dam-
aged and dead branches. Take off any suckers that are coming up from the base of the tree. Some shrubs bloom on ‘old’ wood, some on ‘new ‘wood. A general rule of thumb for pruning flowering shrubs is to prune after they have flowered. So for those shrubs that bloom very early in the year, e.g. Lilacs, forsythia, wait until they have finished blooming and then prune, otherwise you will be taking off all the flower buds and won’t enjoy them this spring. Later flowering shrubs like hydrangea, produce flower buds on new wood and can be cut back in late fall, or this spring. If this all seems very confusing, make sure you sign up for next year’s pruning class, as unfortunately you have missed this year’s workshop. Tidy up your perennials by removing the old foliage. Most perennials can be cut right back, but there are a few exceptions. When cutting Russian Sage, leave at least 12” of old growth on, as the new shoots will emerge from these older buds. In general, it is easy to see if a

and shrubs will benefit from an application of granular fertilizer such as 12-16-12. It provides a good source of phosphorous, which helps develop a strong root system and is important in flower and fruit production. Apply around the drip line of the plant. This advice may have come too late if your trees have already started to break dormancy, but it is good advice to keep in your back pocket for next year. To kill any over-wintering fungus or insects spray trees and shrubs with dormant oil and lime –sulfur now before the buds break. Dormant oil controls scale insects that feed by sucking the sap causing twigs and branches to dry up. Susceptible plants include fruit trees, lilac, elm, mountain ash, juniper and yew. The best time to apply is before the buds break. The spray requires six to eight hours to dry and should be applied when the temperature is above 2 degrees Celsius. Apply Tangle foot, a sticky paste, to the bottom of the trees to stop insects from crawl-

ing upwards. Don’t apply the Tanglefoot directly onto the bark, but wrap the tree first with a 30cm band of wrap or brown paper. This is a great deterrent to ants. Ants farm aphids by bringing them up the leaves to feed. Then the ants enjoy the sticky nectar that the aphids produce. Rototill your garden and flowerbeds once the soil has dried and work in soil amendments such as compost or manure. Power -rake your lawn prior to fertilizing to reduce thatch build up. Aerating your lawn will reduce compaction and increase the rooting depth of the grass. Remember to locate your underground sprinkler heads before using the aerator. Fertilize your lawn in now with a good slow release fertilizer high in nitrogen such as 25-4-10. And finally, rake up your leaves and start a compost bin. Don’t contribute to the poor air quality that we have at this time of year by burning them. Those leaves will benefit your garden more than your smudge fire will.
