Cyclist in hospital after collision with truck A 40-year-old man is in critical but stable condition at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops after he collided with a pickup truck while riding his mountain bike in Williams Lake. The Williams Lake RCMP said they received a call at 8:11 p.m. Wednesday that a cyclist had collided with a vehicle. “He was travelling on his
mountain bike westbound on Pine Street and turned onto Second Avenue North and proceeded in a northbound direction,” RCMP Sgt. Rick Lebeuf said in a press release. When officers arrived they learned the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup was travelling southbound on Second Avenue and saw the biker coming
towards him at a high rate of speed. The driver of the Dodge Ram pulled over to the right of his lane and was almost at a complete stop, when the cyclist struck the back panel on the driver’s side of the truck and was thrown from his bike as a result of the impact, Lebeuf said. He was not wearing a helmet
or protective gear and sustained injuries to his head. BC Ambulance, Central Cariboo Search and Rescue and the Williams Lake Fire Dept. attended the scene to provide medical attention. The injured man was taken to Cariboo Memorial Hospital by ambulance and later airlifted to Kamloops.

Expect enforcement during long weekend Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As people head out to camp, fish and recreate this May long weekend, the Conservation Officer Service is reminding the public it will be out in full force. “We will be assisting the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations with its recreation sites and helping with fisheries patrols
on the lakes,” said Sgt. Len Butler of the Cariboo Region COS. Already local lakes have been busy with people fishing and many of the smaller lakes are prime for rainbow and brook trout, Butler said. “Hopefully people will be abiding by the rules and regulations, getting the proper fishing licenses and catching their limit.” Butler also warned there are plenty of

black bears out and about. “During the last two weeks we have had lots of reported sightings and complaints about bears killing livestock, getting into chicken coops and people’s garbage.” As he does every year, Butler reminds the public to be diligent when it comes to removing attractants and garbage from being readily accessible to bears.

Junior council promotes downtown recyclers on garbage cans Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake Junior council is proposing that nine recycling baskets for plastic bottles be placed on garbage cans in the downtown area. “This would be
around Oliver Street and three that branch off of it,” junior council member Jasmine Tio said during a presentation to city council Tuesday. “We are asking that you will help with our installation, providing the Union of Operating Engi-
neers to help us.” The stainless steel baskets, which cost $80 each, would clean up the downtown and make it easier for people who rely on recycling bottles to supplement their income, rather than having to dig through garbage

cans, Tio said. “We will cover the costs because we have $2,000 in the junior council budget,” junior council member Donavan Shaw said, adding the council plans to approach businesses in the downtown to see if they want to
donate to the project. Councillor Craig Smith works with the junior council and said similar baskets have already been placed in other areas of town and would build on that. Every year junior council participates in opportunities and
AN APPLE A DAY... Celiac’s disease is a clinical condition where gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) damages the surface of the intestinal walls so it can’t absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and irritability. Eliminating all foods containing gluten proteins will relieve symptoms if the problem is truly celiac’s disease. There has been an increase in gluten-intolerance during the past few years and more people seem to be adopting a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms mentioned above. However, these symptoms can be caused by other medical problems. Check with your doctor to determine the real cause of the problems. During the past five years, the number of teens using tanning parlours has dropped significantly, Perhaps it’s due to the fact that on 2009 the World Health Organization openly declared that tanning devices cause cancer. As well, several well-designed studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer. The idea of a poly-pill has been around for about a decade. It’s a pill that combines 3-6 drugs into one pill. It contains a cholesterol-lowering drug, ASA, and one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s designed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and second heart attacks. This idea is not a reality yet. There are a number of research studies being done around the world but no poly-pill is forthcoming. We have access to the latest in drug research from around the world. When a new drug becomes available, you can be sure we will know all about it.

this year’s council decided it wanted to do something for the environment, Tio said. “We’re a very environmentally conscious group of people,” she said, adding the baskets would be a good resource for the city.
“Making our town green is very important to us.” City council received the proposal and approved it in principle. Now staff will determine the cost of installation and maintenance of the baskets.

This is one thing we’re short on our here. We have a fire truck and a quick response truck, winterized and ready to go at any time to respond to a fire, giving us the flexibility to get to a fire within minutes of being called. “I lost my own house to a fire — having a fire department give you extra confidence knowing that if there is an incident, we have the structure in place to keep it going to our neighbour’s house, or to the forest where a fire can cause even more trauma,” he continued. “The first responder training will give us the ability to provide basic first aid when we arrive on a scene and there may be an injury. Ours is a very close-knit community: very family focused. It’s so important to have a fire department with first responder training in a community like this.”

Heavy Metal Rocks lakecity students Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Last week 24 secondary students enjoyed the opportunity to get behind the wheel during School District 27’s annual Heavy Metal Rocks course. Each year in May, WorkSafeBC, SD 27 and local industry team up to offer students from 100 Mile House and Williams Lake hands-on experience operating heavy machinery, including a mine truck simulator from Gibraltar Mines. “We had 54 students apply this year,” said Lisa Kraus, the district’s career co-ordinator at the Centennial gravel pit site Friday where students were doing the training. “We interview the students and then make our selection.” Priority goes to students in Grade 12, although students in Grade 11 who are planning to enrol in the ACE IT program for Grade 12 are chosen. “We had two girls drop out at the last minute because they had to attend interviews for universities,” Kraus said. In total 24 pieces of equipment were donat-
Lisa Kraus ed for use on the site, giving each student a chance to try 12 different stations, and one a second time. “Travis Fontaine of Taseko Gibraltar has organized all the operators to work with the students,” Kraus said. “They are all donating their time.” As well, local companies donated all the low bedding and BC Hydro conducted a safety demonstration in conjunction with a mine rescue team from Gibraltar Mine. Waiting to try her next piece of equipment Williams Lake GROW student Damaris Wait said so far her favourite thing to operate was the skidder. “I just love the way it moves, it’s a very interesting machine,” the 17-year-old said of the skidder. “My mom and stepfather are in the

I would love to work in it too.” Damaris was selected to be the victim for the safety rescue and found that interesting as well. “I was lying there impaired for 20 minutes and had to pretend I wasn’t breathing,” she said. Kraus credited Damaris for asking great questions in the safety meetings. “I’m impressed with how she’s engaging with
the program,” Kraus said. Students emerge from the four-day course with several certifications including first aid, WHMIS and a construction safety course offered by the BC. Construction Safety Alliance. It was the first year Josh Ball from Blocks R Us, who instructed fork lift operations, participated in the program.
“I would have had fun attending something like this when I was a student in high school,” Ball said. As he took a snack break with the other students, 100 Mile House student Austin Briand said Heavy Metal Rocks was a great place to be. “I’d never used a big piece of equipment before and I’m taking in a lot of knowledge,” Briand said.
Initially he assumed the grader would be the hardest machine to operate because of all the levers, but in the end he said he found it pretty easy. He also appreciated the safety aspect of the course and said he learned about many hazards he never knew about. “You have to check every nook and cranny on the highway plows and graders,” he said. Briand is in Grade 11 and said he is still debating what he will do in the future. In the meantime he’s been taking as many trades courses as he can at Peter Skene Odgen Secondary School, just in case. There is no cost to the students to take Heavy Metal Rocks and they emerge with 30 hours they can use toward their graduation requirements, Kraus said. More than 40 local companies donated time, equipment, and food services to make the program a success, she added.

Early start to fire season As a wildfire near Prince George continues to grow, it’s not difficult to proclaim the forest fire season has come early this year. That’s why it makes sense in the southern region of the province to declare an open fire prohibition beginning Friday, the unofficial start to the summer season and the Victoria Day long weekend. Even in the Cariboo, hot, dry weather has dominated the region recently and the forecast is for more of the same so it only makes sense to exercise extreme caution in the woods this weekend, even though it’s only midMay on the calendar. The prohibition covers all B.C. Parks and Crown lands but does not ban campfires of a reasonable size, so please use common sense and practice fire safety procedures at all times. It is a weekend to be enjoyed and celebrated but it must be done responsibly and
within the rules that keep all of us, and our forests and wildlife, safe. And the province takes its bans seriously as anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition can be issued a $345 ticket or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention furthermore contributes to a wildfire, the person can face a further $10,000 penalty and a bill for all firefighting and associated costs. However, all it takes to avoid catastrophe in the forests is a little common sense, a respect for the great outdoors and following the rules of the land, which now includes an open fire prohibition. By all means, enjoy the long weekend wherever you are, but do it responsibly.

Have a safe, fun Victoria Day long weekend Happy Victoria Day weekend, folks. And a happy May long weekend everyone, or a happy twofour weekend. In some parts of Canada a case of beer is called a two-four and as Queen Victoria’s Birthday is May 24, those beer drinkers decided to stick their moniker for the number of the day. I suspect they will have a few brewskis from their 2-4 case. Whatever we call this holiday, it will be another weekend of good eating and visiting with friends and relatives.

the Cariboo Chilcotin country with family. Fishing has been pretty good in many lakes, while some are just getting started and you know there will be more than a
few lures hitting the water this long weekend. I know many of you will be glad for a long weekend — an extra day off — but in my case I don’t get weekends as I am retired. I suspect you don’t feel sorry for me. Sometimes we tend to cram too much into a short four-day period and the weekend gets a little crazy sometimes, so when you go back to work you don’t feel rested or your batteries weren’t charged. I suspect the cramming on holiday weekends happens when we have to drive to somewhere where it would take six or seven hours one way, say the
coast, and have two full days down there with a busy schedule, then drive back home. On the other hand because this is accepted as the start of summer, especially with the weather we have had lately, I know the RVs, tents and motorhomes will get a good workout this weekend. Remember, you can cook great meals over a campfire if you do not have the portable outdoor stoves or just want to have a meal that involves a littler wood smoke taste. With the campfire, if you control the heat and have a grate, along with a good cast iron cooking pot or pan, you can
cook some pretty tasty meals. Stay close to the fire to watch your cooking or untasty things can happen. If you are spending time in the outdoors this weekend, or are having company from out of town, do your planning and shopping ahead of time — especially for the food items. There will be lots of vehicles on the road this weekend so if you are driving, please use a little more caution, courtesy and common sense. Have a wonderful two-four weekend folks.

Is the Orange Tsunami headed west? Albertans have always laughed about their long-standing reputation as a reckless, immature society. The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.” Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax. In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alberta’s lavish public service, NDP premierelect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of resource royalties. One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.” In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge. Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally conservative, small-government place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratcheted up teacher and nurse wages across the country. Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.
B.C. Views
with Tom Fletcher
The minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced that poverty can be eliminated by state order. On the positive side, Notley has promised to end corporate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government. Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pronounced himself “ecstatic,” and hastened to assure reporters that Notley is “as competent as she sounds.” Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, college students and union staff running in faint-hope constituencies. Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biographies, as Notley began phoning energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her
watch. Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business. Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes. Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil com-
panies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.” B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels. Notley supports twinning the
TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed. The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a like-minded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

Intervention needed to preserve ecological values A 2009 draft “Ecosystem Restoration Provincial Strategy Plan by Allen Neal and GC Anderson” is a good reference on the topic for the provincial perspective. As stated in the report: Ecosystem Restoration is internationally defined as the process of assisting with the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed by re-establishing its structural characteristics, species composition, and ecological processes. In the fire-maintained ecosystems of B.C.’s Interior, a lack of wildfire due to decades of suppression, the absence of prescribed fire, and the application of no other intervention or disturbance processes as an adequate surrogate for the role of fire have contributed to trees encroaching onto historic grasslands, as well as excessive in-growth of trees in
Forest Ink Jim Hilton previously open forests. Provincewide, this ecological change has affected hundreds of thousands of hectares, causing a reduction of ecosystem resiliency to climatechange pressures and a host of other related negative trends in open forest and grassland ecosystems. These trends include: reductions in available First Nations traditional plants and ecosystem values; increased risk of catastrophic wildfire, which includes impacts to air quality; degraded native
grassland integrity and associated critical wildlife habitats; reduced timber quality, and increased susceptibility to insects and disease; reduced quantity and quality of forage for wildlife and livestock; increased risk to community watershed health; and reduced recreational and aesthetic values. To partially mitigate these adverse effects on Crown land in B.C., an Ecosystem Restoration (ER) initiative led by the Ministry of Forests and Range (MFR) was announced by the Minister in the fall of 2006. An article by Blackwell and associates, “Cariboo‐Chilcotin Ecosystem Restoration Plan: Grassland Benchmark” describes how the restoration is taking place in our community. In my opinion one of the strengths of the program is the ability to plan and focus on spe-
cific areas accomplished by a detailed mapping program. Mapping was undertaken to capture encroachment which had occurred since the early 1960s and 1970s. This was carried out by air photo interpretation (primarily from 1997 air photos) and comparing it with early forest inventory maps. In 2012, I was involved with doing field checks identifying priority areas for thinning prior to a controlled burning program. I was working in the area around Tatla Lake which had small scattered patches of encroachment unlike the large grasslands around Riske Creek which had extensive areas of invasive trees. Not everyone agrees with the burning of the trees but until a bioenergy program is in place
there are few options since the trees are not usually of lumber making quality. These projects also provide excellent way to utilize the wildfire suppression crews during low wildfire hazard times. For those who prefer a visual approach to the topic you could look at the 2009 power point presentation: “Ecosystem Restoration in British Columbia, An Overview” by Greg Anderson, the Provincial Ecosystem Restoration Manager. Some excellent photos along with a concise description of the program is provided. 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.

Mountview Elementary School students with some of the books they collected for the Bright Red Bookshelf project in Williams Lake.
Bright Red Bookshelf renewed The Bright Red Bookshelf ’s annual Book Drive collected over 3,000 children’s books in April. “Thank you Williams Lake,” says project spokesperson Claire Schreiner. “Your donations filled a red Heartland Toyota pickup and helped keep the 14 bookshelves in the city stocked with books for children and their families to enjoy for free.” Local elementary schools, the Williams Lake Library, and The Salt Jar collected books for the book drive, also. During the year the program also receives support from the Lioness Club and a national program called
First Book Canada, Schreiner says. Volunteers from the Williams Lake Association for Community Living prepare the donated books and deliver them to the bookshelves every week. “Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy actively supports literacy and appreciates your help,” Schreiner says. If you missed the book drive, you can still donate gently used children’s books at any of the Red Bookshelf locations or by contacting Claire at claireschreiner@shaw.ca. Bright Red Bookshelves are located at various
businesses and offices in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. In Williams Lake they are at the Cariboo Memorial Complex, Ministry of Children and Families, Child Development Centre, Community Services Co-op, Courthouse, Botanio Mall, Heartland Toyota, Cariboo Eye Care Clinic, the Gymnastics Club and Atwood Clinic. In 100 Mile House the Bright Red Bookshelves are located at Canlan Arena, Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre, Eliza Archie memorial School (Canim Lake Band), Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Elementary Schools.

did receive a couple of communications from people I respect who questioned whether this was in fact true. Until this point in time, I had not researched the question at hand but relied on my sources of information. After an extensive search on the internet, and reading several lengthy reports on bass coexistence with other species at other locations, I still believe there is cause for concern. Bass do coexist with at least 26 other species of fish in Lake Champlain, however, this might not occur if there wasn’t an annual stocking of 700,000 salmon and trout, and there is evidence of smallmouth bass coexisting with at least eight other species including walleye, northern pike, lake trout, splake, burbot, lake whitefish, and brown trout at Chequamegon Bay in Lake Superior. This is deemed possible because the annual prey fish biomass greatly exceeds annual predator consumption; and it seems that smallmouth bass coexist with at least 18 other species in Manitoba lakes and rivers, however, as with B.C., Manitoba stocks their lakes with brook, brown and rainbow

trout on an annual basis. For the most part the reports of bass predation on the available piscivores (prey fish), and consumption thereof seems to limit other predators from flourishing in any great numbers in a limited environment such as the Beaver Lakes area. In Lake Sammamish, Washington the main bass diet consisted of crayfish and sculpin with the exception of the month of May when migratory salmonids made up to 34 percent of the bass diet, and more alarming a 10 centimetre long bass could consume a three to three and a half centimetre fish which is the size of newly emerged salmonids fry. So in my opinion, if bass did somehow manage to inhabit the Horsefly River system, our salmon stocks as well as native trout would be in jeopardy. I did learn several interesting facts regarding bass which might make controlling them possible. Bass do not feed during winter when water temperature falls below 10 Celsius nor do they spawn when in cooler conditions, so if winter conditions could be extended through snow stockpiling at various locations in the Beaver Valley creek system then perhaps many bass would simply die of starvation because of the low water temperature extension. Across its range 114 parasites have been identified in smallmouth bass including the bass tapeworm
which can cause sterility or seriously affect reproduction in the smallmouth bass; another method of thinning out the population, therefore, would be to seed the bass areas with bass tapeworm if indeed this could be accomplished. In the B.C. interior, adult bass feed mainly on redside shiners, peamouth, and chiselmouth, as well as macroinvertebrates, mainly crayfish. I do not agree with any idea of poisoning the lakes and killing everything with rotenone, simply because the terrain is against any chance for this to be completely effective. Everything including all crustaceans would be killed as well as birds, animals, and all other signs of life would disappear because most of the feed would be dead. The environmental effect would be far reaching, and some bass might still survive. I believe as has been pointed out to me by some very intelligent sources that all this conjecturing might well be a moot point, as global warming is occurring, and with rising water temperatures, bass will migrate and survive despite our best efforts. After all this research which is only the tip of the iceberg, I have come to the conclusion that the bass are here to stay, and that DFO should open fishing of bass to the general public so at least some benefit would result. They are good eating.

At 92 Rudy Johnson is a wonderful storyteller and certainly has many stories to tell. His memoir simply titled Rudy Johnson is now in its second printing. After a successful regional book signing tour last fall and winter, Rudy is back for a another book signing at the Williams Lake Library on Wednesday, May 20 starting a 6:30 p.m. Johnson’s book recounts his personal journey from the time he was born in 1922, to his arrival in Canada, and his move to the Cariboo in 1947. The book closely chronicles the development of the Williams Lake area, and Cariboo North. Johnson has kept a journal since age 13. He was a pilot, a prospector, a sawmill owner, a rancher as well as the force behind the construction of the Rudy Johnson bridge across the Fraser River which he completed in
dundant bridge in Alaska, had it shipped first by water to Prince Rupert, then by train to Prince George and finally by several trucks to the site. Rudy, who was by this time quite skilled at figuring out how to accomplish what he needed done, drafted up plans for the construction of the foundation for the bridge and how he would span the Fraser River. With the help of a friend who was an engineer, Rudy was granted permission to construct the bridge. Come out to the library to hear Johnson’s marvelous stories. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.

The project expenses for the expansion of the main wing and separate new Cariboo Autism Centre totalled $1,262,972. which has been covered by donations, grants, and loans. But the CDC still needs more help to complete furnishing of the autism centre. The wish list includes such items as an upright freezer, chairs, portable sink, diaper changing cabinet, Hokki stools that rock, as well as items such as towels, and
shower curtain. The autism centre includes a quiet room, full bathroom, laundry facilities, full kitchen and a large multi-purpose room with video equipment, and storage. The autism centre has been developed with the feel and set-up of a regular home because much of the teaching that will happen there supports the development of everyday lifeskills such as cooking and laundry. The new wing included in the project houses several new offices and a large

the lake. As the fish swam, leaped from the water or came close to the shore the students were enthralled. When Adamson was done, Mike Ramsay, the fish and wildlife section head for the Ministry of Forests, Natural Resource Operations in the Cariboo instructed the students to line up
for a bucket and some fish to release. “I want you to give your fish names,” he told the students. Because it was his birthday, 12-year-old Dillon Alberts was first in line. “It was awesome to get to go first,” Alberts said after he released his fish. “I named my fish Steve and he keeps coming
back,” he pointed. Eleven-year-old Katelynn Hill said she called her fish Stephen, Bob, Henry and Junior. “Stephen was my favourite because he was the biggest of all of the ones in my bucket,” Hill smiled. Adamson estimated the water temperature of the lake is 14 C and said that’s pretty
warm already. “Warm for the fish too because their water was 9 C.” One hundred per cent of the money collected through freshwater fishing licenses in B.C. goes to fund freshwater fisheries like the one Adamson works for. “It’s great because it’s a real user fee,” he said of the return.

The Clear Gospel The good news about Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of Christianity. Yet few have a clear picture of how this wonderful news brings freedom, joy and peace to the human heart. This truth must be experienced at some level for human nature to fully enjoy being healed from selfishness and self-destruction. The amazing deliverance and transformation available is literally a truth almost beyond belief. The reality is the truth about Jesus as creator, saviour and best friend to all hurting people. It is the story of a loving gracious God, whose character and creation have been under attack long before the beginnings of this planet. The story told in the Bible can be summarized in three words, creation, conflict and cross. Our story begins with the creation of a new perfect world inhabited by beautiful innocent people living at peace and harmony with themselves and their creator and designed to live forever. This new planet with its freshly minted inhabitants almost immediately gets caught up in an intense intergalactic conflict. The loving character of the creator had been slandered and the war between good and evil was transferred to this earth. The deception and cunning of the one whom the Bible calls the adversary or Satan deceived our first parents and robbed the human race of its innocence, freedom and peace. Conflict, pain and fear then become central to life on planet earth.
PARSONS PEN
BY CAMERON JOHNSTON The idea that God is keeping the best of life from his creation had already destroyed the peace of heaven. What is a God of love and peace to do? Destroying the liar and murderer only reinforces the negative idea and creates a bigger problem. Deity anticipated this problem and immediately the plan of saving and redeeming mankind, and ultimately the universe, was implemented. The result is amazing good news. The solution is Jesus, his life, death and resurrection. The only way to destroy slander is to demonstrate truth. The truth about the love of God is revealed in the life and death of Jesus Christ. In the process the redemption and transformation of selfish, rebellious human beings becomes possible.
To know this truth explore the story of Jesus. Examine carefully his life with an open mind and you will discover the fountain of youth and eternal life. How does all this relate to us living in a terrorized complicated world? Life here is uncertain at best, the good news is that peace, joy and security are available to everyone now. My testimony, and that of millions of others, is that a life of friendship with Jesus brings harmony, peace and safety beyond your greatest expectation. Jesus came and lived a perfect life, then he died in our place to redeem us from sin and selfishness. His death paid the price of sin because sin requires the death of the sinner and we have all sinned. The truth gets even better because we not only need a redeemer but also a transformer. We are powerless to change the inner core of our life and our best efforts are polluted with selfishness and rebellion. The solution is Jesus. He gives as a gift to everyone who will accept it a transformed life complete with his perfect righteousness. Not because we are good or worthy, because we are not, but because he is worthy. The death of Jesus demonstrates the love of God and provides the opportunity for us to choose to be in relationship with God. If we consent Jesus will so identify himself with our life that when doing right we will be doing what we desire. Will you accept God’s gift of forgiveness and transformation? Choose today who has your allegiance, as for me, I choose Jesus.

Leathan’s music takes a modern folk songwriting senti-

Tickets are available at Red Shreds for the suggested price of $10. Advance tickets for Arts on the Fly this July in Horsefly will also be available at the May 22 concert and are also available at The Bean Counter in Williams Lake and Clarkes General Store in Horsefly. The Safety Meeting concert series is supported by City of
Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District through the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society. Hoffman says the last show with Sober Becky and Black Spruce Bog was a rip roaring success with Sober Becky setting the vibe with her brand of “quirk punk” putting everyone in a great mood for two full sets with Black Spruce Bog that had the crowd up on their feet the whole time.

Gardening questions By Jean Atkinson Richbar Golf and Gardens These are some of the most common questions we get at the nursery. How do I plant potatoes? Use certified seed and cut any large tubers into pieces. However, make sure there are a minimum of three eyes per piece. Plant potatoes shallow, with eyes up, in deeply cultivated soil. Place in rows that are 1m (3ft.) apart with potatoes 40cm (16”) apart. Fertilize with a high content of potash. Before the plant blooms and is about 15-25cm (6-10”) tall, hoe the soil up
around the base of the plant to cover the root as well as support the plant. This is called ‘hilling’. This is important because you do not want the tubers exposed to sunlight. Light makes the skins turn green which is toxic. Do not use lime or manure. Manure will cause your potatoes to scab. How can I get rid of moss in my lawn? Moss grows in areas with poor soil aeration, poor drainage, low fertility, high acidity, or heavy shade. It is a common problem of neglected turf but moss cannot compete with a vigorous, healthy lawn. Chemical treatment using moss killers provides only
temporary control and growing conditions must be improved to prevent the reestablishment of moss. The following steps can be taken to improve growing conditions. Aerating

your lawn will reduce compaction and improve drainage. A good slow release turf fertilizer high in nitrogen (e.g. 254-10) will increase fertility. Lime may be applied to reduce acidity, however, soils in the interior of British Columbia tend to be alkaline and lime should only be applied after a soil pH test has been taken. If shade is a problem use a grass
seed that is shade tolerant such as Fescue. What do the numbers on my box of fertilizer mean? The first number in a fertilizer analysis is nitrogen. It is responsible for maintaining healthy, green foliage. The second number is phosphorous. Phosphorous is aids in fruit production, flowering and rooting. Last, but definitely not least, there is potash.

OUR MAIN GARDEN CENTRE:
Potash is responsible for plant hardiness, disease resistance as well as speeding up the ripening of fruit. A good quality fertilizer will also contain trace elements such as iron, magnesium & zinc. Why doesn’t my peony bloom? Usually the cause of non-blooming peonies is that they were planted too deep. When planting, make sure that the crown is 5cm (2 in.) below soil level. If planted too deep they won’t bloom. Also, when dividing your peonies, make sure that each division has at least three eyes, or you may again be disappointed by lack of flowering. Peonies are best divided in the fall. Why are my tomatoes brown and soft on their ends? Blossom end rot is a physiological condition that often affects tomatoes that are given uneven moisture during growth or a lack of calcium. How do I prune my raspberries? Raspberries only produce fruit on two year old canes. Once the canes produce fruit they die so it’s very important to prune out these old canes. Prune out the old canes in the fall. In the spring, thin the remaining one year old growth – leaving six to eight of the sturdiest

canes to bear this season’s crop. When should I fertilize my lawn? Fertilize your lawn in spring (April) and summer (July) with a good slow release turf fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, such as 25-4-10. Another application of fertilizer should be made in early September. At this time use a fall fertilizer that is higher in potash. Apply according to label instructions and avoid over fertilizing to prevent leaching into the groundwater. When can I plant bedding plants outside? With the changing weather patterns in the Cariboo it is hard to pinpoint a date that is safe for planting. A good rule of thumb is the long weekend in May for all bedding plants. However, there are a few plants that will tolerate 3 to 4 degrees of frost. These include: Calendula, Snapdragons, Dianthus, Dusty Miller, Pansies, and Petunias. If there is frost in the forecast don’t use plastic to cover your plants, it offers little frost protection. We recommend a fabric crop cover. This lightweight spun fabric should be in every Cariboo gardener’s bag of tricks. Loosely draped over plants it will allow air and water to penetrate, speed up the soil temperature, protect plants from insects and provides about four degrees of frost protection. Use it early in the season to increase your yields and give you a peace of mind. Remove it once the plants begin to flower so the insects can pollinate them. It can be used for many seasons.

Making home renos enjoyable Supplied by 3 GEN Cabinetry In the home improvement industry, consumers are bombarded with so many options from so many directions that uncertainty on how to proceed is a very common issue. People are left second-guessing every move they are considering and it often leads to a very difficult process that should be more enjoyable than stressful. Here are some simple guidelines to help bring that enjoyment to things as people consider tackling their home renovation projects large or small. Planning out any type of home renovation project takes more consideration than just who will offer you the cheapest price. There

are numerous factors that need to be evaluated, including how long the renovation is going to take, what the final price will be, and where your stress level is going to register. Regardless of what you are looking to achieve, from a simple update in the kitchen to an entire refurbishing of your home, many people will be competing for your business, making it essential that you have armed yourself with all the available information. Everyone has seen those DIY reality shows on home improvement that come complete with horror stories that have the blood curdling. Taking the right approach to the job you are going to have done is not only smart -- its downright critical to ensure that you and your family are not put under a huge amount of pressure, and that your entire experience is treasured and rewarding. Cut Out Cutting Corners! A free quote that comes with no obligation should always be provided to the customer before they have agreed to allow the contractor to begin work. Skip the one line type as well --
you should be provided with a detailed quote that is written, and fully explains what services are going to be given at which price. Any contractor who is operating with a professional approach to the home improvement industry accepts that part of the cost of doing business in a competitive workplace is spending the time and money to thoroughly examine the proposed work with the intention of giving their potential customers fulldisclosure. Price-matching is one area that should send up a red flag when deciding upon a contractor. A true professional will take the time to fully investigate the scope of the job you have planned, and not just offer to beat the lowest price you have received so far. If a contractor is unable to take several moments out of their day to properly understand your renovation plans, this can be a sign that they are unreliable, may take unethical shortcuts, and are simply looking to make a quick buck. Dependable and expert contractors will base their price not only on the cost of the materials,
What are you waiting for…
but also on what they believe their experience is worth. The High Price of Low Cost Every home renovation project, no matter how small, should be approached with a professional attitude that inspires confidence in the homeowner. If you are unsatisfied at the end of the work due to choosing the cheapest -- but not necessarily the best -- contractor, the final cost of having to redo everything will be far more than what would have been paid in the beginning. All of the so-called “savings” will become a distant memory. Simply put, a pickup and a saw does not a contractor make! No-Stress Guidelines for Choosing Your Contractor Examine the pros and cons of each company under consideration • What is their reputation among previous customers? Do they live up to their promises and show up on time? Are they capable of working in tandem with other industry professionals and sub-trades? Do they have current accounts at

wholesale suppliers? • Professional contractors want their business to succeed, and they are looking to make sure their customers are completely pleased with the finished product. • A professional appearance goes a long way in the credibility department -- so does a valid business license, their own liability insurance coverage, and employee Worker’s Compensation provisions. • A marketing budget shows that they have a personal investment in their success -- look for members of the local Chamber of Commerce and Construction Association, a functioning website, and a listing in the Yellow Pages™. • The use of superior quality products is a must, and a written guarantee of all work shows that they have faith in the brands they choose. • Along with providing a detailed, written professional quote of the work to be completed on paperwork using the company letterhead, there should also be a firm timeline stated to finish the work.

A written contract should be submitted for your signature without the need to ask for it. There is a saying among professionals in the home improvement industry -- “Trying to save a dime can end up costing a dollar.” These words to live by take the entire process into account, from the financial aspect when a job goes over budget, to the tears and frustration when the “contractor” you have hired disappears (with your money of course!), and leaves your home in state of half-completion.

Locals represent B.C. on national stage Compete at National Aboriginal Hockey Championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Two lakecity hockey players represented Team BC April 27 to May 2 in Halifax, N.S., at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. Chase Dubois suited up for Team B.C.’s male team, while Chantelle Beadman-Rolph secured the blueline for Team B.C.’s female squad. The tournament features the top midget-aged hockey players in the country spread among regional and provincial teams. On the men’s side Dubois and his teammates opened the tournament with a 6-3 win over Alberta, before handing Team North a 9-3 drubbing. Dubois recorded an
Chantelle BeadmanRolph and Chase Dubois assist in game one, plus a goal and two assists in his second outing. Next was Team Atlantic where B.C. secured a 7-2 victory with Dubois tallying an assist in the win. In the semifinal B.C.
was matched up against Alberta, dropping a 7-4 heartbreaker to send them to the bronze-medal match against Manitoba. “Team Alberta had two players who were at the Telus Cup (the national midget hockey championship) and came in after their tournament was over to assist them in the win,” Dubois said. The bronze-medal final was contested at the Scotia Bank Centre, the home of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Halifax Mooseheads, adding to the excitement. “We gave up a two-goal lead and had to fight back to tie it up before the end of the first,” Dubois said, noting the second frame was all B.C. Dubois notched a shorthanded goal from his Cariboo Cougars’
teammate Austin Gray to help B.C. to a 4-3 lead heading into the third period. Manitoba evened it up in the third, before Gray — on a setup from Dubois — notched the winning marker with five minutes remaining to give B.C. the bronze medal. He said having the opportunity to play on the national stage with Couagars’ teammates Gray, Joel Patsey and affiliates Austin Crossley and Jeremy Gervais was a great experience, and said he enjoyed the opportunity to see the Maritimes. Beadman-Rolph, who plays for the Prince George-based Northern Female Cougars, helped B.C. open the tournament with a 3-1 win over Atlantic and a 4-2 win
over Eastern Door and North (Quebec). B.C. then fell 4-0 to Ontario, 7-3 to Alberta and 4-3 to EDN to finish sixth — a result Beadman-Rolph said she was happy with. “I think it went very well for us,” she said. “There was lots of good competition from the teams we played. Sixth was the best we’ve done in several years — coming from dead last to second last in years before.” Beadman-Rolph also noted she felt she played well during the tournament. “Especially for not being on the ice in a couple of weeks,” she said. “Our team really meshed well which made the experience really great.”
There’s still time to register for the Capital One Race for Kids — an urban adventure, Amazing Race-style event for adults.

Skene Ogden. Unlike last year which saw teams battling it out on the pitch through a snow storm on the tournament’s first day, this year featured blue skies and warm weather. The Falcons’ senior girls finished the tournament undefeated with wins over Columneetza, PSO and Fort St. James junior team. The club played to a tie with FSJ’s seniors. Coach Caitlin Sabatino said it was a great opportunity to get some games under the team’s belt. “It’s really nice to be able to get some of the northern teams together in a scenario like this,” she said. “Normally, all of us are travelling so far to attend tournaments. Although there were more younger teams this year it was great to practice our touches and get a chance to play in front of hometown fans.” After previously beating the PSO Eagles seniors in 100 Mile in April, the PSO team of juniors mixed with seniors gave the Falcons a run for their money during the play day. “The 5-0 score didn’t reflect the play. We just got luckier on our shots,” Sabatino said. The Falcons then went on to tie FSJ 1-1,

The juniors, coached by Jodie Mason and Nicole Therrien, started their tournament with a 3-1 win over the FSJ juniors. They then fell to PSO, 3-0, before falling just short versus the FSJ seniors. In the team’s last game, facing off against their own senior squad, the team battled to a 1-0 defeat. “I really appreciated the senior girls,” Mason said. “They were great role models and the juniors look up to them.”
The play day was one of two times local teams were able to play competitive games this season outside a trip to 100 Mile House in April. “Unfortunately, the longtime running junior and senior tournament we usually attend in Summerland was postponed for the year and the senior team had to pull out of a Chilliwack tournament due to lack of commitment,” Sabatino said. The Falcons’ senior girls have qualified for the ‘AAA’ provincial championships in Victoria May 28-30, but

Sabatino said due to the distance and cost associated with travelling to Vancouver Island the team is unsure whether it will be able to attend. “It’s unfortunate financial constraints inhibit our team’s ability to play in more tournaments,” she said. “It really is too expensive to travel to many of the Lower Mainland tournaments. “Hopefully next season we will be able to entice more teams from surrounding areas in advance to have a larger, more competitive tournament here in town.”

It’s a great way to get exercise.” Cycling is fun, inexpensive and something the whole family can do together-join the Family Friendly Ride on Wed. May 27. Robyn Chambers first got into cycling when she was in her early 30s. Her then-workplace was holding a staff triathlon so she and her husband decided to take part. “I had a lot of fun swimming, biking, and running, and I really got hooked on triathlons,” Chambers said. “I thought to myself if I am going to do more triathlons I need a proper bike, a road bike, and that’s when road biking took off.” She still tries to ride whenever she can, though she admits she hasn’t ridden as much as she used to, now that she is a busy stay-at-home mom to two small children. Chambers enjoys cycling because it’s great exercise and she likes being outside in the fresh air, “It’s a great way to transport yourself around.” Join these three for some fun, exercise and a chance to win prizes for the whole family by cycling to work, school, and everywhere!
