A bird’s-eye view of Williams Lake courtesy of Frontline Helicopters reveals the natural beauty surrounding the lakecity, including its heavily forested borders. The government has issued fire bans to protect forested communities like Williams Lake as the fire risk escalates to extreme in many areas of the province.

Hot temperatures lead to open fire ban Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Drier than normal conditions and elevated fire danger ratings have resulted in an open fire ban in the Cariboo. As the ban went into effect Thursday, communication

specialist Emily Epp said the downpours on Monday and Tuesday helped lower the fire danger rating, however, with the longterm forecast of warmer conditions, it is anticipated the danger ratings will climb again. “I think a campfire ban will

be coming soon, it might even be this weekend,” Epp said. As of Monday, lightning sparked eight wildfires in the region. Four are out, two are in patrol and two small fires, 10 by 10 metres, are still active — one north east of Alkali Lake and

one just south of Farwell Canyon. The open fire ban remains in place until Sept. 30, 2015 unless the public is otherwise notified. To report a wildfire or an open burning violation call 1-800- 663-5555 or *55555 on a cell phone.

the damage for herself and estimated it was in the thousands. “Almost every door has been beat in using what looks like an axe, but I’m not absolutely certain,” she said. Several windows were broken, the pantry was cleared out of dry goods, and things like frying pans, stainless steel pots and roasters are gone.

Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society will not be running its wilderness camp in the Chilcotin this summer due to an act of vandalism. “I think it happened Friday,” said executive director Sarah Jackman who has been with the non-profit society for three years. “There are several people back and forth and some caretakers down the road who check in on the camp. I got a call about it on Saturday.” Jackman went there on Canada Day to see

A lot of the stuff we have out there has been donated.” To access the camp, people take the Puntzi Lake turnoff on Highway 20, and then take a wilderness road about 56 kilometres.

AN APPLE A DAY... Magnesium is involved in over 300 chemical reactions in our bodies. These reactions affect heart rhythm, our bones and our immune system. The average adult female needs 420mg daily (310mg for men). We get some magnesium from our food but many people are still deficient. Supplements are helpful here. A new baby in the family? Congratulations! Just a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib, don’t use a blanket and pillows and dress the baby in a onepiece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and other objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in an area near where the parents sleep but NOT with the parents. All these suggestions will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Even though electronic cigarettes are not legal for sale in Canada, some people still use them. One of the problems with these devices is that there is no regulations about what they contain besides the liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so there is a lack of long-term scientific evidence to support their safety. There still is concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction. Sometime, people who are hard of hearing don’t let on this is so. We want to know about it. When talking to you about a new prescription, we want to be sure you hear the information as well as read in the handout. Hearing and seeing helps learning.

“The government did not have information that would have triggered a duty to warn the public because the failure of the tailings pond was from a structural flaw in the foundation of the dam that

the government, mine operators and inspectors were not aware of,” she said. “This test is not about what the government ought to have known. It’s about whether or not the government knew.”

ings against Bryfogle. “I’m one of the people molested by this lunatic,” Rene Messier yelled at Gray. “He abuses the system year after year ... You let him walk — you should be ashamed.” This is the second time Bryfogle has been found in contempt of court orders to remove himself from any legal proceedings or filings, whether on his own behalf or others. There are judgements against Bryfogle for wrongly practicing law dating to 2006 and 2007. Those findings come under the Legal Profession Act and the Court Agent Act. His past legal misadventures included representing litigants in mercury poisoning from dental work; creating a trust document; a lawsuit involving a motor vehicle accident; and slander and defamation against

his own family. At times he has been paid for his work. He breached terms of orders requiring him to inform the B.C. Law Society of any legal action. While Gray declined to send the 74 year old to jail, Bryfogle will go to prison if he breaches the probation terms. She gave him a three-year suspended sentence. Those terms included that he not enter a courthouse unless he is charged with a crime or with written permission of a probation official. He cannot file legal documents on behalf of himself or others. He must also serve 100 hours of community service. Bryfogle currently serves as a Trustee of the Hagensborg Water District and in May sent a letter to the Tribune signed Attorney General and Solicitor General of the Chilcotin National Congress.

Law Society wanted to see Bryfogle go to jail for 21 days, but Justice Victoria Gray handed him a three-year suspended sentence and said he will be jailed if he breaches his probation terms. Bryfogle has been declared a “vexatious litigant” in both B.C. and Arizona. The term applies to people who consistently engage in court actions that harass people or undermine the justice system. Gray called Bryfogle’s conduct troubling. “Mr. Bryfogle is not a lawyer and has never been a lawyer,” she wrote in a decision released in June.

Chilcotin nurse named health care hero Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Chilcotin-based nurse practitioner Patrice Gordon has been named Health Care Hero - Interior Health in the 2015 BC Health Awards. At a recent gala luncheon held in Vancouver, Gordon along with 11 other Gold Apple Award recipients and seven award of merit winners were honoured for their work. Presented by the Health Employers Association of British Columbia (HEABC), the BC Health Care Awards celebrate successes and achievements

in B.C.’s health care system, and recognize people providing outstanding care and support. Gordon said winning the award didn’t really sink in until she got to Vancouver to the award luncheon. “It’s a huge, massive honour and I’m so incredibly grateful to Catherine Whitman (my former manager) for the nomination,” she told the Tribune. “It was so very special to be in the midst of amazing people who have contributed hugely to health care in B.C. So humbling to be included in the group of award winners.”

Awards are given in 11 categories to projects improving health care delivery, and to people making a positive impact and inspiring those around them. “This year’s winners are outstanding examples of innovation, leadership and caring,” said HEABC president and CEO David Logan. “I am thrilled that through this awards program we have the opportunity to celebrate successes in BC health care, share best practices and reward health care heroes from around the province.” Gordon is leaving Wednesday to work

If you see it, report it Summer is in full swing, the patios are packed with people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and picnics abound. Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving. If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver. It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment. Even if you are fortunate enough to be pulled over before you do any damage, the conse-

quences of a hefty fine, vehicle impoundment, court time and the possibility of a criminal record are steep penalties to pay. You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving. If you see someone sneaking a few brews at the beach, call 911. If the person at the pub knocking back shooters to celebrate a birthday is getting into their car to drive home, call 911. If you see a vehicle being driven recklessly or erratically, call 911. It’s also of assistance if you can clearly identify the location, direction of travel and can provide a licence plate number before you call. So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that if you are foolish enough to drink and drive, there are more and more people out there watching with an eye on getting you arrested and off the road.

Up your cooking game in the great outdoors A nice campfire meal along with plenty of fresh air and some relaxation is a great way to enjoy what Mother Nature has provided for us in the Cariboo Chilcotin. There are so many places to camp in this part of the world and it is fun having the opportunity to cook outside whether that’s on a campfire or a barbecue. If you are planning on cooking on a campfire, make sure you have all the ingredients you need because often it’s a long way to the store to pick up some garlic or something else forgot-

ten at home. If you are going into the outdoors, and you are doing a little fishing, take some tin foil, dill,

lemon juice, butter and sea salt. That stuff is easy to carry in a small packet, and if you catch a fish and want lunch, you can just put it all together in the foil, stick it over the fire and in a few minutes you have a very tasty campfire fish sliding across your taste buds. Here’s another campfire recipe that takes a little more planning but is excellent in the great outdoors. • 2/3 cup olive oil • 1/2 cup orange juice • 2 tsp dried sage • 2 tsp grated orange zest • 2 cloves garlic crushed

• Seasoned sea salt and pepper to taste • Four pork chops about one inch thick Mix together all ingredients to make a marinade. Put the mixture in a large resealable bag and add the pork chops. Place in fridge for 10 to 20 hours. Get some nice coals from your campfire and put an oiled grate above the coals. Place the chops on for five minutes, turn over and cook for another five. Before you put on the pork chops you can put some cut up vegetables in a coffee tin, add

some butter and a little wine and put on the fire with a little tin foil on top of the can. This can take about 20 minutes. And voila you have a wonderful meal cooked on a simple campfire. Enjoy the outdoors and some campfire or barbecue cooking this summer. Congratulations to all of those volunteers who spent time to make this Williams Lake Stampede another great success. Bye for now and Goood Cooking. Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist with the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

B.C. still the Wild West for elections The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics. When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name. No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics. HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause. No kidding. HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week. “We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said. “We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.” Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics. Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media. Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of

“Engage Canada,” a unionfinanced action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives. Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run proConservative ads. Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombie-like, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.) Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments. And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the socalled “pre-campaign” period

as an unwarranted restriction on free speech. The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections. Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party. This spring the B.C. Liberal

majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates. NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House. The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the

next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else. Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Rural Advisory Committee eyes examples from other jurisdictions Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer As the province’s newly-appointed Rural Advisory Committee gets underway, its first focus is a dividend for communities in rural B.C. “I have no idea where the dividend is coming from at this time and I don’t know what it’s going to look like,” said Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett who chairs the committee. The committee spent two

days last week on the topic, but has not reached a consensus yet. “It is very complex.” Another mandate is to look at capital and investment for communities. During a seminar in Salmon Arm in May that committee members attended, communities from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick shared some of examples. One of the communities was dying economically, the demo-

graphics were changing and the last hope they had was a slaughter house and an abattoir, Barnett said. The community went to the provincial government and came up with a community venture capital corporation. “People who wanted to buy an RRSP put it into the corporation and received an income tax benefit from the government through legislative change,” Barnett said. “With the community money he redid

his abattoir, has 40 employees.” One community has $50 million in its community venture capital program and most of the programs are paying six per cent back to their investors and have been 99 per cent successful. “This is something I’m really interested in and as time goes on spending more time talking about it,” Barnett said. “Whether we end up with it or not, it’s something a lot of the communities who were at the

seminar are interested in.” As for the rural advisory council members, Barnett said she’s ended up with 14 Type A people at the table. “Everybody is working really well together, they are very honest and forthright and it’s a table where people can speak their mind and nobody is going to be offended.” It is a consensus-building table, she added. The committee will meet again in October.

Tickled Pink? Tough Enough to Wear Pink? Either description fits well for this smiling group of Williams Lake Stampede rodeo attendees on a sunny and very hot Sunday afternoon. For many years running now, Williams Lake Stampede director Sherry Bullock has organized the cancer fund-raising drive labelled ‘Tough Enough to Wear Pink’ that the Williams Lake Stampede dedicates a performance to; cowboys, cowgirls, volunteers, Stampede directors and visitors alike all participate by wearing pink and contributing to the cause, raising funds (and awareness) in the fight against cancer. Partial proceeds of the rodeo-ticket sales on Sunday went to the cause and the total amassed by days’ end was in excess of $4000, half of which was donated to Cops for Cancer and the other portion went to Williams Lake Stampede director Jim Byer (a cancer patient) to help with treatment-travel costs. On hand for the presentation were RCMP officers (pretty snazzy (and very hot) in pink and bullet-proof vests) from left; Const. Andrew Waters, Const. Daniel Cohen and Const. Colby Hendrickson along with Sherry Bullock (centre) and Jim and Jean Byer.

Jason and Pharis, Dawn Pemberton and many more rock Arts on the Fly Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor The Arts on the Fly Festival Society is extremely excited to announce our 2015 lineup! This year, we will be featuring Pharis and Jason Romero, Dawn Pemberton, Entengados, Jasper Sloan Yip, Miss Quincy, Ryan McNally, Bottoms Up Baring Burlesque, Wooden Horsemen, Red Haven, Leathan Milne, Drum and Bell Tower, the Little Horsefly Country Band, Blocktreat, Sober Becky, Sam Tudor, Colin Easthope, Power Duo and many more! Visit www.artsonthefly.com to see the whole lineup for the July 10-11 festival in Horsefly. Dawn Pemberton’s powerful voice shakes the foundations of gospel and soul to jazz, funk and world music. Pemberton has made waves for years as a session player, collaborating with the likes of Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, Maceo Parker, Linda Tillery, John Lee Sanders, The Sojourners, John Boutté and Dutch Robinson. Since launching her solo career with the record Say Somethin’ last year, she has been met with international praise. This year’s wildcard pick, Entengados, is a band of musicians and actors from Argentina. Since 2004, the band has mixed theatre with genres such as rock, cuarteto, balkan, reggae,

Each show is a fiesta músical full of dancing, humour, happiness and energy. And, oh yes, they perform as clowns. Jasper Sloan Yip and his band of Vancouver indie-pop darlings have made a name for themselves as Peak Performance Project finalists and through appearances on CBC’s coveted R3.30. This year, they’re rocking the stage of Vancouver Folk Fest, but not before they rock the stage

of Arts on the Fly. Wooden Horsemen is a blues-folk-rock conglomerate with songwriter Steven Beddall at the helm. They were the talk of the town at Tiny Lights and ArtsWells last year and we’re delighted to snag them for this year’s AOF. A handful of artists who graced the stage of the Safety Meeting winter concert series will be back to serenade us including Leathan Milne, Red Haven and Sober Becky. Of course we pride

ourselves on rallying the local arts scene for the best and brightest. Pharis and Jason Romero will come out of hiding to play, and they have a few tricks up their sleeves. Other local favourites like Sam Tudor, Colin Easthope, Blocktreat, Drum and Bell Tower, Flannel Roots and the Little Horsefly Country Band will also represent.   Although we were extremely excited to usher in our second decade at a beautiful new location, unforeseen complications have brought us back to our roots. Arts on the Fly’s Super Special 10th Anniversary Edition will be going down in our original location in the heart of downtown Horsefly July 10-11. While this location has its quirks, it has treated us well for the last nine years. All the work that has gone into gussying up the Little Horsefly Western Town for the festival will not be squandered; with a bit more work we shall enjoy the beautiful in-

Noxious weed plan goes beyond one month of action While June has been declared Invasive Species Action Month, the public is encouraged to be active about stopping the spread throughout the year. “Invasive plants are non-native plants that have been introduced to B.C. that have detrimental economic, environmental and health effects on humans, livestock and wildlife,” says the Cariboo Chilcotin Invasive Species Plant Committee. “Also known

as noxious weeds, or alien species, they are far more aggressive than common weeds and choke out native species reducing biodiversity in our precious ecosystems.” Humans are most often directly responsible for introducing a species to a new region, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So what can you do to help? Identification and Prevention The first step is

learning to identify what plants are invasive.

Survival of the Weakest Survival of the fittest, is a core concept of the evolutionary theory of life and its beginnings. Believed worldwide as a scientific theory relating to how life began on this planet. Evolution as a source of life rules out any concept of an intelligent, caring, designer of life. Our reality is that survival of the fittest is how life unfolds on our planet. In business, families and communities we see a ‘dog eat dog’ selfish way of life that dominates both human and animal existence. However, even in the midst of the worst cruelties of life, like the senseless racist killing of nine people at a prayer meeting, there are hints of something better. We see glimpses of unselfishness and caring that do not fit into this cruel concept that only the strong can survive and thrive. When earthquakes and disasters happen we see caring humans respond with help in ways that betray a better way that has unselfishness at its core. Often when individuals and families experience difficulty, assistance comes from strangers as well as friends. Then there is the biblical concept of redemption which turns survival of the fittest on its head by demonstrating the survival of the weakest. In scripture we witness the most remarkable story of all time. The almighty God comes and lives among us as a helpless baby. For three and a half years Jesus lives homeless and dependent on the goodwill of friends

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON and strangers. He demonstrates a truly unselfish life where he relieves suffering and gives hope and healing to all who cross his path including the weakest of the weak. Christianity is all about Jesus who brings life and help to the weakest and most disadvantaged. Jesus especially loves the most fragile. King Solomon said it well, “He feels pity for the weak…, and he will rescue them.” Psalm 72:13 Central to the Christian gospel is God’s plan to save the weakest of the weak. They can simply ask for and receive help which includes a personal friendship with God, a truth stranger than fiction. In a world of rebellion against God, selfishness rules and life is survival of

the fittest. Praise God that with Jesus we have the option for survival of the weakest. Our natural world clearly reveals the existence of a designer but nature is limited in providing a clear understanding of the true character of God. Jesus came as a special revelation and saviour, clearly demonstrating the true loving nature of God, best revealed in his unselfish life, death and resurrection. “God so loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. The saving of mankind from sin and selfishness must be a plan that can save the weakest, poorest and most unpromising individual. Human nature is morally weak at best. Then some inherit the foulest of human nature complicated by few educational and social disadvantages. Is there any hope for them? A true redemption plan must be for everyone and the good news about Jesus Christ says, yes, there is hope for the weakest! Everyone can say yes, I need help. All who recognize their need and ask will be saved and given eternal life.Yes, everyone! God is working in every life and there is hope for the weakest. Will you allow yourself to be drawn to him? God will not manipulate or force anyone. My testimony, as one who has known Jesus for decades is choose Jesus today, the way, the truth and the life.

She said a dream catcher made by Denise Gilpin was presented to stained glass artist John Bos and his wife, Norma, who attended the dedication from Williams Lake. Bos said it took him two years to complete the 16 stained-glass windows in the church which feature various biblical scenes, some of which are hand painted, and some of which are framed by a diamond pattern.

ment for their generous donation to the project and for helping in organizing the dedication and banquet. Bobby said the community raised a total $8,800 which was enough to pay for the windows, plus build a fence around the church and buy the special gifts and lots of door prizes for the banquet. She said funds were raised by holding bingos, loonie auctions, setting up a collection box and other fundraising activities. Bos said the project was also featured on the television show Best Job Ever. He said three hours of filming at his studio in Williams Lake was condensed into a five to six minute video which can be seen on his website at www.bosglassworks.com.

We could’ve gone with just 40 guys on the sidelines on one team but then you cut into playing time.” He said injuries also played a role in the game against Abbotsford in the quarterfinal. “We had an excellent first half but I think heat and fatigue came into play in the second half and they exploited our weaknesses through our back line.” Despite the quarterfinal defeat, McCallum said everyone had a great weekend. “It was my first Stampede,” he said. “I had a lot of fun. The guys all had a lot of fun, so it was a success in that regard. It was just too bad we couldn’t win the tournament.” On the women’s side the Hustlers battled to a fourth place finish in

Todd Pritchard, Rustlers member and one of the tournament organizers, said the women’s rugby was at a very high standard. “The Williams Lake girls played well but were quite young and were knocked out in the semi by Abbotsford, 27-10,” Pritchard said. Laura Pfleiderer, Erica Pfleiderer and Krystle Carpenter all had strong tournaments for

the Hustlers. “Their tenacity in defence, pace and running skills in offence were exceptional,” Pritchard said. Fetch, a pickup squad of players from Burnaby and the University of British Columbia, were the class of the women’s tournament and were scarcely tested throughout the weekend. Fetch downed Abbotsford, 22-5, in the final.

The team of Wilfred Robbins, Jordan Sellars, Willie Sellars, Francis Johnson, Tim Evans and Donovan Nicholas — the majority of whom play for the Central Interior Hockey League’s Lac La Hache Tomahawks — went unbeaten in six games in the men’s elite division at the tournament in Kelowna, widely considered the highest level of street hockey competition in Canada and the largest four-on-four street hockey tournament. The team played two games June 20 winning 5-4 and 5-0, plus one another by forfeit to push them into the single elimination round June 21. There, they won 103, 5-4 in a shootout and 7-6 in the final. Nicholas lit the lamp with a buzzer beater in the final to seal the tournament win for the Hitmen. The Hitmen, who were put together by Dog Creek’s Gil Duncan, have been attempting to qualify for nationals for the past five years and have travelled to Edmonton, Alta., Calgary, Alta., Vancouver and Kelowna.

Keep foodborne illness off your summer menu Kevin Touchet Special to Tribune/Advisor It’s the time of year when many of us enjoy

cooking outdoors — in parks, campgrounds and back yards. This pleasurable summer pastime of

casual dining also provides ideal conditions for outbreaks of foodborne illness. Foodborne ill-

ness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbecuing and outdoor eating.

E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are examples of some of the many bacteria related to handling raw

meats and other perishable food items. That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked

and handled with care. Outdoor cooks should keep food safety in mind as they are preparing summer feasts. These four words can help you reduce the risk: Clean: wash your hands with soap and warm water before and after handling food. Wash all dishes, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water. A spray bottle containing 1/2 tsp of chlorine bleach per litre of water can be used to sanitize these items. Separate: keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Store raw meat at the bottom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbecue. Cook: properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria. Cook all meat to the appropriate internal temperature — see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart (http://www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/ eating-nutrition/safety-salubrite/cook-temperatures-cuisson-eng. php) for more details. Use a digital food thermometer to measure the inside temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60ºC or hotter until ready to serve. Chill: Always thaw meat in the fridge, microwave, or under cold running water — never at room temperature. Do not let cooked or perishable food sit out in the sun or at room temperature for more than two hours. Cool any leftovers right away. Finally, keep cold foods cold at 4ºC or lower. For more tips, go to Interior Health’s website for the Life Begins at 40 degrees brochure or Health Canada’s Summer Food Safety Tips (http://www. healthycanadians. gc.ca/eating-nutrition/ safety-salubrite/summer-safety-salubriteete-eng.php).
